Chapter 42: The Rebellion Resumes
readx; I don't know that this ancient word refers to a king in the War of the Gods - Prince Tiedu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I don't know why I was born, I don't know why I was king, I didn't know why I died. So, I don't know.
Of course, the question is limited to the person concerned.
- "The King of Kings"
Chapter 42 The Resurgence of the Rebellion For most people, they can't believe that the "Sangbei Incident" killed by the assassin king could be planned by Amy, the golden brain—in fact, in addition, in the entire battle of the gods, Amy's every move has some "benevolence, mercy", and it is precisely for this reason that later scholars believe that Amy Haber is somewhat indecisive.
Similarly, the dueling challenge to the small mercenary group was not the usual style of the demon commander Yi Hailan, who was known for his elegance.
In the eyes of the civilians in the occupied area of Alcatraz, His Excellency Yi Hailan is handsome and elegant, perhaps, the most suitable position for Yi Hailan should be an imperial court scholar who is extremely orthodox, how could he make such a reckless decision as a court scholar to decide life and death in a war?
Being thrown in the face with a white glove thrown in the face, whoever encounters such a thing has to accept the challenge of a duel.
Although full of grievances, Amy still had to list her conditions in the shortest possible time, unlike the Battle of the Two Kings, this time the decisive battle bet was not sent to the entire continent through the Thieves Guild, but directly sent to Yi Hailan's hands.
If Alcatraz is defeated, Alcatraz must fulfill the following obligations:
First, fully withdraw from the occupation of the territory of the Amy Empire, and complete the delivery to the Tongyunguan Theater and the Northern Theater within 30 days; second, pay war reparations to the small mercenary group and make 4 million gold coins of illegal profits in the past three years on the south bank of the Sanggan River; third, hand over the Liuying Greatsword; fourth, provide navigation charts of the sea areas around Alcatraz Island; fifth, hand over the evil dragon Yinfeng and let Amy test the sword - of course, try whether the Flowing Firefly Greatsword is true or false, if you can cut off the head of Yinfeng, that is true, if you can't cut it down, then change the sword until you can cut it down; sixth, provide 1,000 ancient books again; and seventh, hand over at least one Dark Magister or open the Dark Prayer Tower to the small mercenary group.
Soon after, the bets listed by the small mercenary group were obtained by the thieves' guild "by accident", and were immediately sold to the major forces at a price of 1,000 gold coins.
For the many forces of the Pan-Continental War, they attached the most importance to Amy's first, fourth, and seventh opinions—especially the seventh, and a certain string in the hearts of all the high-ranking people in the same camp as the Western Magic Empire trembled slightly.
Lin Yushang now holds the power of the Eastern Magic Empire, among the six mages, the number of dark magisters is the smallest, and at present, there are no dark magisters in the Eastern and Western Magic Empires at all, if the Alcatraz Legion really supports a dark magister to the small mercenary group, it means that it is no longer a distant dream to produce a magister in batches.
If this is the case, the balance between the East and West Magic Empires will be upset once again.
In the letter to His Excellency Yi Hailan, Amy also made it clear that if the small mercenary group is defeated, the following compensation will be made to the Alcatraz Legion:
First, the small mercenary group was disbanded, and all the main members were to return to the Frozen Continent; second, the amount of compensation for the war was 2 million gold coins; third, the Blue Meteorite Giant Sword was handed over; fourth, the detailed map of the Frozen Continent was provided; fifth, Lu'er and Yi Hailan were to leave the dragon to test the sword...... Isn't it okay?" Before Yi Hailan could see these terms, Daqingshan raised an objection.
"Is there any?" Amy's face was full of surprise.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with these benefits that you're talking about. Da Qingshan wanted to find a more suitable word in his heart, so as not to refute Amy's face in front of everyone: "This is in line with what you have always insisted on: 'All mercenaries and things, there is no commission that cannot be bargained'." But...... You still have to leave the dragon ......"
"Oh, I thought you were so worried. Amy smiled happily and patted Daqingshan's shoulder casually: "This is the phrase 'the price is all over the sky, and the money is paid on the spot'." Yi Hailan is not the King of the Southern Cross, if you don't give him a blow to the head, believe it or not, he will jump up immediately. Besides, even if we hand over Lu'er and Yaolilong, do you think he really dares to cut it? Borrow ten guts from him, he won't dare! The forces behind Lu'er and Yaolilong are much stronger than the small temple of the small mercenary group, not to mention Yi Hailan, even if the Creation God comes, you have to think about it. ”
Oh - everyone in the room let out a long sigh of relief, just now when they saw such a clause, everyone thought that Amy was going to give His Royal Highness Lu'er something again.
Before receiving a reply from the demon marshal Yi Hailan, something big happened on the strategic map of the Eminole Continent.
After learning the news of the accidental death of the Prince of Tiedu, a mutiny occurred in the Jielin Theater that night - Marshal Chi Datong's general, Baron Lin Ping (who had been dismissed by the Prince of Tiedu after the Jielin Incident) led the retainers' guards and some of the officers who were also dismissed at home to attack the puppet royal city in one fell swoop, preparing to kidnap the Prince of Tiedu, the princess, and the young son to pledge their allegiance to the Hongshi Emperor.
As soon as the news of His Royal Highness Tiedu's death in battle was announced, people inside and outside the entire Jielin Ring Waterway panicked, and most of the soldiers chose to lay down their arms.
His Royal Highness Tiedu's palace guards were caught off guard, suffering heavy casualties, and had no choice but to escort Prince Chang Hao, the eldest son of Prince Tiedu, and finally fought and retreated, and finally joined the army that came to the rescue, retreated all the way to the south, and finally joined the knight brigade directly under His Royal Highness the Prince brought by Prince Tiedu from the frozen continent, and then contacted the Jungle Knights who were still defending on the southern front. Immediately, an army of 20,000 re-surrounded the puppet royal city.
Baron Lin Ping was holding on hard, and on the other hand, he sent the few phantom beast knights under his jurisdiction to ask for help from the Northern Theater of Operations Amy and the Tongyunguan Theater.
Several officers of the small mercenary group were waiting for His Excellency Demon Shuai to repay the money on the spot, when they saw a blood letter asking for help.
Baron Lin Ping is also a branch of the Lin family, two generations older than Lin Yusheng - according to the regulations of the Imperial Ministry of Officials, only the eldest son of the imperial nobles has the right to inherit, so under normal circumstances, among the children of the same family and the same age, the farther the branch, the greater the generation.
Lin Yusheng and the thief have returned to the Eastern Magic Empire, before leaving, Lin Yusheng, the thief, and Amy teamed up to build a small magic teleportation array in Moyada City - if there is enough magic power to support, two people can be teleported back and forth at a time. The thief said that when the training of magicians on the blue island is almost the same, he will give priority to sending a batch to Moyada City to be responsible for the teleportation work.
It is not surprising that something happened in Jielin, Jielin was originally the closest war zone to Didu, and most of them were children of the family from top to bottom, if it wasn't for the sudden house arrest of Marshal Chi, in the name of the old marshal, Prince Tiedu couldn't make waves at all with his own appeal.
"Is this really a problem? Who is going to quell the civil strife?" Amy waved Baron Lin Ping's distress letter, the Tongyunguan Theater is more than 2,000 miles away from the Jielin Ring Waterway in a straight line, and now the Northern Theater can only send rescue troops.
"There doesn't seem to be anyone else besides me, right?" Chi Aotian replied coldly, reaching out to take the blood book.
Chi Ershao is right, since ancient times, saving soldiers is like fighting fires, the total distance from Moyada City to the Jielin Ring Waterway is more than 800 miles, and it can only be reinforced by knight troops, and the knight troops in the entire theater are two major groups, one is Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force, and the other is the two knight brigades of the Colorful Dragon Knights directly under the Grand Duke of Lantian. In terms of long-distance travel, the Colorful Dragon Knights were not a little worse than Chi Aotian's expeditionary force.
Amy waved her finger and sent troops to Chi Aotian: "Okay, you pick 100 vulture spirit knights, the dragon knights are not with the team, in case there is anything urgent, send the vulture knights back at any time to transfer other dragon knights, Uncle Balbas They are slow and will not go, you bring the knight camp of the small mercenary group, so that the total strength will exceed 10,000." Also, you take the knight troops first, and I will send ten squadrons of Imperial swordsman battalions, and they will follow, and after the rebellion is quelled, let them stay behind - if the rebels are too strong, don't storm and return safely. Without the banner of Prince Tiedu, they would not be able to become the climate. ”
The small mercenary group of the Battle of the Two Kings killed three dragon knights and more than a hundred Jing Spirit knights, and the berserker battalion also lost nearly half, and now it has to face the three-sided squeeze of Alcatraz Island, the Sangan River War Zone, and the Scambrai War Zone, and there is a big battle soon, and the combat power is really stretched.
However, from the current point of view, the death of Prince Tiedu seems to have become another turning point in the war situation in the entire Eminole continent.
"Yes. No problem. Chi Aotian nodded.
"This battle is the most important, His Royal Highness Prince Tiedu's personal soldiers should be veterans of the Northern Federation, and there are still many predecessors of the Frozen Continent in the expeditionary force, if possible, get in touch with the opposing officers, it is best to persuade them to return to the empire. All the previous rebellions were only related to His Royal Highness the Prince of Tiedu, and I absolutely guarantee the safety of everyone. Amy whispered.
The Northern Federation is so big, most of the officers will have a short officer training camp before being promoted, and there are also irregular exercises, and maybe these veterans have eaten at the same table in a large training camp.
"I'll leave now, maybe I'll be back in time to fight. Chi Aotian took out snow-white gloves from his pocket and put them on: "Qu Jianhong, gather troops, and set off in 15 minutes." ”
"Yes, General. The youngest Grand Duke of the Empire stood up at the back of the crowd, bowed his head and stepped back - most of the officers of the Chi Aotian clan had the same habit: to sit on the periphery during meetings.
In the dark night, the east gate of Moyada was opened, and four columns of black-clothed knights quietly followed the branch of the continental highway to the northeast. Amy, Daqingshan, Horns and other main responsible officers have been sent out for more than ten miles, Amy can now be called the living map of the Eminole Continent, along the way whispered to Chi Aotian about the general situation of the Jielin Theater, including humanities, roads, etc., the second of the Chi family rarely has a ride or a ride to deal with.
"Be cautious on the road, especially the Druids. Daqingshan finally advised.
Chi Aotian nodded slightly: "You guys go back." After speaking, regardless of the reactions of several other people, he drove the war horse to turn around, and all the knights of the expeditionary force clamped their horses between their legs, and the advance speed of the troops suddenly accelerated.
For the expeditionary force, a thousand-mile raid is commonplace, not to mention that this is still advancing in his own jurisdiction, Su Wen sat in the Chinese army, and successively sent three ranger troops, one to clear the pedestrians on the road in front, and the other two to respond on the left and right flanks, and then sent the vulture Jing Ling knight, holding Chi Aotian's warrant, along the mainland highway all the way to collect grain and grass station; Qu Jianhong took more than a dozen young officers to take the map of the Jielin Military Region, Hydrological chronicles and other related materials are taken out and read urgently on horseback by the light of the torches.
The cavalry of the brigade had to take the continental highway or other main roads, according to the map provided by the emperor, after coming out of Moyada, they had to go north for 600 li and then advance 300 li to the east, that is, they arrived at the circular waterway.
First, the expeditionary force rapidly advanced more than 180 miles to the north and set up camp; second, after advancing more than 150 miles to the north, the expeditionary force slowed down, and it was only more than 200 miles away from the sub-cities of Scambrai, and Su Wen sent all the air knights out in one go, and the cordon was placed 50 miles away. At five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, they set up camp to bury pots and cook food, and the swordsman battalions in several nearby small towns were notified that they would immediately enter a state of war readiness, and in the event of a war, they would quickly reinforce them...... Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a night meal, leaving the mainland highway and continuing along a branch road from southwest to northeast, which is already the three areas of Jielin, Scambrai, and the Northern Federation, and Su Wen has naturally learned to be cautious when he is old.
Fourth, at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the expeditionary force entered the boundary forest, and the broad-leaved deciduous trees of the center of the mainland highway were 20 meters to the left and right, and the height of the trees was generally about 30 meters. The sun is no longer visible in the forest. On the map, there were several villages in the vicinity, but when the scouts rushed over, they found that after years of war, these small villages were all deserted, and the thatch on the roofs of the houses had grown more than a man tall. In the end, he had to settle down in a slightly larger village, and for the sake of prudence, Suvin ordered the knights to tear down all the existing houses in the village, cut down hundreds of large trees, and build a wall on the outermost part of the village.
After dinner, Professor Benjamin hurriedly pushed open the door.
The tent looked very deserted, this expedition, only a few people such as Chi Aotian, Qu Jianhong, Su Wen, Qingluo, Chang Qing and a few other senior officers could be called senior officers, as well as a few captain-level officers, all of whom were promoted one after another later, far from being compared with the heyday of the expeditionary force.
"Why didn't you bring a sand table today? It can't be lost, right?" Qu Jianhong flattened the two chairs and lay flat on them—after four days of rapid marching, no matter how good a knight was, he was a little overwhelmed, and the young Grand Duke's ass was almost worn out by the hard saddle of the earth dragon.
The professor stared at Qu Jianhong for a full minute, and sighed slightly: "Of course not." ”
Immediately, the professor and Chi Aotian said: "Young General, just now I divined three times in a row, it seems to be quite bad, the last time I simply fell to the ground inexplicably on the sand table, I suggest, should we withdraw from the boundary forest first, and ask Lord Amy to send more reinforcements"
"Well, got it. Chi Aotian couldn't see any expression on his face: "Time waits for no one, we are going to the rescue, it's too late, it's meaningless." ”
"But ......"
"There is nothing but, people, can seek profit and force the murderer, where is the army also seeking profit and forcing the murderer?" Qu Jianhong smiled and continued later.
A true knight will never compromise with any power or fate, which is the supreme essence of the knight.
"Alas......" Professor Benjamin opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and sighed: "In this case, General Chi Aotian, I have benefited a lot from being with the expeditionary force for more than a year. However, we didn't have any previous employment relationship, so I thought...... I will say goodbye to you...... From now on, the sky is high and the earth is far away, so be careful. ”
After speaking, the white-haired professor shook the sleeves of his robe, turned around and walked out of the big tent, and not long after, there was a neighing of horses in the distance...... Ah, what's wrong with the old gentleman today? That was the first thought of the senior cadres of the expeditionary force, and then someone thought, "What the hell is going to happen in the Boundary Forest?" and forced Professor Benjamin away!
Su Wen remembered a conversation between him and Professor Benjamin a long time ago: "All soothsayers, no matter what divination proves, no one can disobey the mandate of heaven, and no soothsayer dares to say it directly. ”
"Ha-" Chang Qing exclaimed and shrugged his shoulders: "I really envy Professor Benjamin, it's good to be unofficial and light, just go, if only I had such a comfortable face." ”
More than a dozen people in the room heard the meaning of the 21-year-old boy's words.
"Yes, or the old people always say that you can't help yourself when you are on errands, and you should not be on errands. Su Wen smiled and took over the words of the nephew boy: "But...... I've always felt that Benjamin was too timid to join us when he was in Ulu City, and he must have been afraid that we would slaughter the city again before we left. People are old and jing, and they run faster than rabbits immediately after a bit of trouble, in fact, we didn't slaughter the city in Ulu City. Therefore, don't take his nonsense to heart, let alone spread it. ”
"Well, as soon as Uncle Su Wen said it, I really feel the same way. Chang Qing immediately took it back: "The professor's courage is indeed too small, if they are all like him, the head of the regiment does not have to face the great god of world destruction, the evil dragon Yinfeng, and the ice crossbow that faces the dark spirit in the demon forest, what nine deaths and one life, it is simply ten deaths and no life, and in the end, the head of the regiment also comes back from time to time." Alas...... As people get older, it seems that their courage naturally becomes smaller. ”
Chang Qing said while shaking his head.
Bad lie - this is what most of the people in the room have in their heads...... But what's behind the lie, so everyone knows.
"Why don't you let Elder Qingluo go back?" Qu Jianhong's face was also full of smiles, and he didn't reveal the meaning of the two robes: "It's all here, I have to report to Elder Amy, and by the way, urge the follow-up swordsman camp." ”
"Your Excellency, I'm very sorry. In the concept of the forest jingling, I am not yet in old age, so you don't have to worry about my guts. Qingluo was hiding in a dark corner and rubbing the bowstring, and when he heard Qu Jianhong's words, he put the bowstring back on casually, and played it a few times, and a crisp sound of the piano came from the room - he was forced to play the second string once by the head of the regiment in Sky City, but it mobilized Qingluo's pitiful artistic cells.
"The elder is so funny, he can't even hear a joke. Qu Jianhong flicked the table lightly with his hand: "Anyway, this matter has to be implemented by the vultures, or you can arrange for the two jingling...... We don't report to Master Amy all the time, and it's not good. Also, what about Professor Coward stops here, and no one is allowed to discuss it after they go out. ”
"I think you've all been overwhelmed, if I'm not wrong, three months ago we built a dam 20 miles downstream to enclose the lake in order to ambush the Grand Duke of Caterina, and the dam was encircled for more than 10 days, and it was soaked in water for 5 miles from both sides of the river, and this distance was at least 40 miles from north to south, and then it was the rainy season, and according to my knowledge of the boundary forest area, after we traveled another 30 miles to the east, we would see the marshy area we had created, unless it ...... The enemy can find the Covered Water Tribes of the Golden Four, otherwise, the enemy will be trapped in the swamp. Qingluo spread out the map, and the red pencil drew an oval on the map.
"Senior Su Wen, tomorrow's speed will be reduced to the standard marching distance, adopt the combat marching mode, and if there is nothing else, just rest early. Chi Aotian coldly terminated the meeting.
"Uncle Su Wen, do you think something will happen?" Chang Qing asked in a low voice after leaving the tent for a certain distance.
