Chapter 21: Brotherly Rivalry (Part II)
"Okay!" Queen Lingbao has long been tired of staying in Hamburg City, every day is cloudy and snowy. There was no way to compare with the Imperial Capital and the Fairy Forest, and the little girl's playful mentality was immediately expressed: "I will personally lead the team! All the elves who can ride the vultures will go! Invite 6 more elders to set off with me." ”
Horns sweated profusely...... Originally, I wanted to give Chi Aotian some help, but if Queen Lingbao went, it was estimated that even if she gave Chi Aotian another 5,000 elf archers, it would not be able to withstand the negative impact of Her Majesty the Queen alone. It's just that the words can't be said yet.
"Little sister Lingbao'er, you ...... Do you really want to go? The day after tomorrow, Daqingshan will definitely go to the Ice and Snow Continent to ask Amy to come back, you say, if you don't anymore, what if Amy comes back?" Although Horns has never been in love, he has seen a lot of Amy's stories, so he naturally has some experience.
"Wow! I want to meet my dear brother Amy, great, I miss Brother Amy so much, Brother Amy is so handsome, big eyes, thick eyebrows, white skin, so majestic in his voice, so tall, taller and more handsome than you......" Her Majesty didn't care whether the dwarfs liked to listen or not, and praised the idol in her heart. It's just that these descriptions have made Daqingshan and Horns have deep questions, when has Amy's appearance changed so much? Is Amy so handsome? It seems that this is the first time to use this word to describe Amy. Amy is not as tall as Daqing Mountain, Her Majesty can really confirm that it is Amy who she saw in the fairy forest? It can't be another man, right?
The little girl rushed out of the house with a shout.
"I'm going to arrange the Vulture Swordsman Battalion. Da Qingshan turned his head and was about to walk out, when his wrist was suddenly tightly grasped. When I looked back, I saw a face full of tears - this was the first time Daqingshan had seen the tears of a dwarf.
"Can you confirm that Uncle Chi was not killed by us?"
Da Qingshan was stunned for a moment, not understanding the dwarf's words.
"I mean, if ...... Amy didn't leave us, and is still with us, will he remind Uncle Chi to be careful of such a change, or will he escort the Redstone Emperor and Uncle Chi to leave safely during the Imperial Capital War? Did our incompetence lead to Uncle Chi's death?"
Da Qingshan thought about it seriously, shook his head silently, patted the dwarf lightly on the shoulder, and turned to leave.
For Horns, since Amy's departure, most of the strategic aspects of the small mercenary group have come from his hands, and if there is really his responsibility in the process, even the dwarf's long life span of 1000 years after this cannot eliminate this guilt.
The 5 years of the magic calendar is an extremely traumatic year for the small mercenary group. At the beginning of the year, the pure and beautiful elf girl Ying left quietly, and not long after, the head of the group, Amy, went to the fairy forest in the hope of recovering her love, but ...... Amy, who was very injured, finally sighed and left the fairy forest and left the Eminole continent, and then, in the imperial capital shock at the end of the year, General Chi Hanfeng, the strongest backing of the small mercenary group, was killed, and Chi Hanfeng's direct nephew Chi Aotian was furious, left the small mercenary group, and began his bloody journey of 20,000 miles.
More than 500 vulture knights took off from Hamburg City and chased Chi Aotian straight to the southeast, and Daqingshan gave everyone a death order: three days later, they must arrive at Tongyun Pass and go to the Tongyun Pass War Zone General's Mansion to listen to Chi Aotian's orders. Those who have been left behind should return to Hamburg on their own and do not delay the progress of others.
Looking at the flock of wild vultures flying south under the cover of the sky and the sun, the imperial monarch and ministers immediately guessed something, and the Redstone Emperor shook his head with a wry smile: General Chi Hanfeng's death in battle does not seem to be the only bad news today.
The vulture swordsmen and phantom beast knights sent to various places to inquire about the news have returned one after another, and the unexpected bad news has appeared: not all residents are interested in the recuperation of the Redstone Emperor in the past 20 years, and similarly, not all nobles have been able to maintain the honor of nobility all the time, for thousands of years, the reputation of the Western Emperor is too prominent, for ordinary residents, the influence of this legendary hero who saved the entire continent several times is extremely great, coupled with the Holy See's use of the power of religion to declare support for the Western Emperor, conservative estimates, at least 30% of the residents clearly support the Western Emperor, and at least 20% of the small and medium-sized nobles have openly thrown themselves into the camp of the Western Emperor.
At present, the Redstone Emperor can control no more than 400,000 soldiers, and 100,000 of them are in the Frozen Continent, and more than 50% of the other 300,000 are swordsman battalions.
Originally, Hongshi had always hoped to hide the wealth from the people and the soldiers from the people, but he didn't expect to taste the bitter fruit of his own brewing in the end.
If it weren't for the fact that Viscount Fan had already sent 12,000 elite troops to Hamburg City to listen to the order, in the face of the Eminole Continental Chess Game, the Imperial Monarch might have to stand by and watch. Fortunately, Viscount Fan had a very good grasp of right and wrong during the period of national crisis, not only sent two troops ordered by the military department, but also sent back almost all the regular troops under his command, and only 20,000 swordsmen were left at hand to retreat to another small city on the west coast of the empire within 5 days.
In such silence, the 5th year of the magic calendar is about to pass......
