Chapter 257: War Breaks Out
The exit of the alley is the main street of Astro, which is very close to Princess Anna's hotel, and a team of gold-armored guards just skimmed the alley.
Princess Anna was about to shout, but was grabbed by Fang Mo and directly silenced the princess with the power of personality.
"Princess Anna, you know too many of my secrets, you can't go back."
As soon as Fang Mo's voice fell, Liyue's face changed.
"Aunt Six! You are free, I believe in you, you can go. Fang Mo said with a smile.
"There are golden guards everywhere, how do you get there?" Liyue crawled at the entrance of the alley and observed for a moment.
"You don't know." Fang Mo stomped on his feet fiercely.
"Sewers?"
"You don't have to go down the sewers, but I need you to help me prepare the carriage."
"I'm going to go with you, Delis has a young son, you probably don't know."
"You're leaving, you have a little son with Delis, what does it matter?"
"I'm going to take her little son with me."
"Tell me honestly, is something big happening to the Dewell family? You don't want to bring me a ticking time bomb. ”
Liyue snorted lightly and replied without showing weakness, "I just brought a time bomb, will you let me follow?" ”
"I like your straightforwardness, take it!"
"Humph!"
Liyue glanced at Fang Mo and walked out of the alleyway.
"Your Excellency Princess, I have wronged you." Fang Mo lifted the manhole cover and jumped directly with Princess Anna.
"You're not that bad!" Princess Anna covered her mouth and nose in the dim water and said coldly.
Fang Mo looked stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Princess Anna pursed her lips and frowned: "In the future, you can consider making your death look better and leave you a whole corpse, you don't realize at all what mistake you made." ”
Fang Mo shook his head and said, "Offended the Holy Empire? ”
Princess Anna shook her head and said, "Offended the entire ruins of light." ”
"Oh! The problem is indeed very serious, and it seems necessary to kill you now. Fang Mo suddenly stopped, drew his dagger, and placed it on Princess Anna's neck.
"Don't pretend, if you're not scared of me, you're scared. Let's go, I've changed my mind and decided to go with you. ”
"Why?"
"I will not let go of everyone I have come into contact with you in the future!"
"Yo! I'll see. ”
"Hmph, you can't kill me at all now, the angelic sacrifice has entangled the power of our person."
"Huh? You're a princess with a bit of a brain. ”
"If it weren't for the entanglement of our personal powers, would you have killed me?"
"What do you say?"
"You won't!"
"Yes!"
"You won't!"
"Say whatever you want!"
The two of them walked for three hours in the underground pipeline to reach the predetermined location.
It will take at least three days for the Lost Light Ruins to collapse, and it will take about three days for those who enter the Light Ruins to fully come out.
Fang Mo's location happened to be the weak node of the Light Ruins, and they were the first to collapse, so they were teleported out in advance.
Three days was enough time for Fang Mo to cover all his tracks, especially in the Holy Empire, where communication was extremely underdeveloped, and at the same time, he had the perfect means of concealment.
Without the disturbance of special events, Princess Anna would have completely disappeared from the Holy Empire.
The Holy Empire will certainly investigate and purge the entire Astro, and the final clues will point to the Mechanical Wings, the vampire race.
Of course, Fang Mo took the princess's important belongings, and he was also one of the targets of the investigation, and his first public appearance was in the central square, and after being disguised and masked, there should be no problem.
What's more, Fang Mo entered Astro with a second false identity, and Kuka's name is known to Delith and Liyue.
Fang Mo took Princess Anna and climbed to the ground, where a dilapidated scrapped carriage had stopped at the intersection.
Three days later, as Fang Mo expected, the entire Holy Empire shook, and the movement was even more serious than Fang Mo had expected.
The North is at war with the Wings of the Machines.
Marquis Yin En led the High Knights to blitz the Iron Furnace City, an important city in the southern part of the Wings of the Machines.
At the same time, the Holy Empire began a large-scale purge of the vampire race.
And the investigation of Fang Mo's second fake identity was cut off in Astro Central Square.
Fang Mo pinched the time, and not long after he appeared in the central square, the Abandoned Light Ruins descended, and Princess Anna entered the Light Ruins as planned, and then the clues pointed to the Mechanical Wings and the vampire clan.
After Fang Mo returned to Hudson, he lived a simple life, but all kinds of information still flew like pieces of paper and never stopped.
In addition to the normal military training, counterintelligence and intelligence gathering were also compulsory subjects for the Crusaders, and a huge intelligence network was gradually taking shape.
The movements of northern and southern Xinjiang, and even the capital of Guangxu are covered.
The shadow of the princess's disappearance has shrouded the entire Holy Empire, and the originally unstable southern border has not made any major movements at present, but the northern frontier has become chaotic first.
But as soon as the northern Xinjiang moves, the southern Xinjiang will definitely not be calm for long.
Moreover, the Holy Empire is still fighting on multiple fronts, presumably the Marquis of Haagenda will definitely take precautions, and the military mobilization within southern Xinjiang is about to begin, and the Crusader Legion will definitely be the object of key care.
Although this armed force that has risen in the Dort territory is relatively strong in the region and has barely been recognized by the upper echelons, it has little contact with the "upper echelons" after all, and it is very likely that it will be assigned some tricky tasks.
The Crusaders could not listen to Dort's control, but the Marquis of Häagenda's orders could not.
Moreover, Fang Mo did not have any resistance to the expedition of the Crusader, and obtaining the official establishment and then participating in the war was the only way for the legion to truly rise.
Although the Marquis of Häagendar is not strong, he is a royal family and his strength is useful, but it doesn't matter.
Because once the war broke out, the large-scale army corps that officially went out to the army were uniformly dispatched to the relatively strong metropolitan governors to lead the army and carry out specific combat missions.
"Master Kuka, the latest military order!"
Jim took a sealed letter and went to the small courtyard by the sea where Fang Mo lived.
"What is Captain Borås doing?"
Fang Mo took the letterhead, tore it directly and glanced at it, as he expected, the Crusader was arranged, and the letter was signed by the scarlet seal of the Marquis's Mansion, and Kuka was named as the Crusader Overseer, which must be what Lord Dort meant, because in the Crusader, "Kuka" looks more friendly.
"Lord Borås can't come back." Jim replied.
Fang Mo didn't ask any more, he didn't want to know what this Bros was doing, anyway, he just had to fight and supervise the army, and the nominal legion commander was also dispensable. 33
Fang Mo thought for a moment, stared at Jim and said, "How is the infiltration of the Seiya Empire?" ”
"A small part has been completed, and the Seiya Empire is also a country that advocates technology, and our people are not very comfortable getting in, and it is very easy to be recognized, and now only a few unimportant characters have developed."
Jim frowned and shook his head helplessly.
"It's really unpredictable, everything we need to make a complete plan, we must arrive at the designated place according to the regulations, take the waterway, this can save most of the time."
Fang Mo thought for a moment and commanded directly.
"If we take the waterway, the strength of our ships will be exposed, and 20,000 people need at least 22 warships."
Jim said worriedly.
"When it's time to be exposed, it has to be exposed, the first military meeting is about to be held, and I heard that the governor of the 21st Army of the Eastern Expeditionary Group Army personally presided over the meeting."
Fang Mo has done a detailed study of the 21st Army Governor, and the final conclusion is more optimistic, this is an easy-to-communicate and very pragmatic Governor.
The 21st Army has 10 large and small corps, each with a minimum strength of 8,000 and a maximum of 20,000 men.
For many big lords, such as Dort, Jeffman, Brady, etc., it was very difficult to achieve a full strength of 20,000 people, because the preferential treatment of the Crusaders attracted a large number of high-ranking knights who came to pan for gold.
At present, within the Crusader, the three-star Grand Knight has become the mainstream, and there are at least 2,000 five-star Super Knight knights.
Of course, there is no one in the two-star mansion, and this data is really not good compared to the golden guard.
But from the perspective of the entire Holy Empire, the one-star mansion is the main configuration of many grassroots lord legions, and the eight or nine stars are high-end combat power.
The main force of the royal marquis's army is the two-star mansion, and the high-star of the one-star mansion is still an important supplement to combat power.
The strength has reached the three-star mansion, just like the Metropolitan Governor Khalifa of the 21st Army can command 10 legions.
And the highest combat power of the Crusader Legion is the strength of the One Star Mansion and Nine Stars at the end of the Fang Dynasty, and with the good feeling of the Great Lord of Dort, it has successfully become a small Overseer, which also represents the official recognition of the establishment of the Crusader Legion.
If it weren't for the border issue, the future of the Crusaders would be uncertain.
In fact, Fang Mo has been suppressing his own strength, and at the critical moment, he can use the Creation Badge to jump two levels in a row, not to mention that he has 50 Creation Badges, and he can form an elite team very covertly, but the candidate has not yet been finalized, and he must be absolutely loyal and reliable.
Since the Hudson incident, Blackbeard has kept a relatively low profile, which is a precursor to the integration and deployment of military forces between the North and the South and unified management.
Fang Mo doesn't care about anything now, just bored with resources, building warships, and coastal towns such as Il, Mel, and Hudson basically have hidden docks.
And he is constantly recruiting skilled craftsmen to supplement the shipbuilding force, like Dracula in Puff Town, who was recruited by Fang Mo on favorable terms.
The Blackbeard Sea is vast, running through the entire Holy Empire, dividing the north and south of Xinjiang, and there are small continents adjacent to other countries at the east and west ends, all of which are already heavily armed.
But everything must be prevented, Fang Mo is actually not very worried about the border, the most worried is this sea, although the technology of the Mechanical Wings and the Seiya Empire is not as developed as the Star River Cluster, but the conventional steel naval artillery is still available, once they break through the sea route, the Holy Empire's coastline stretching for hundreds of millions of kilometers cannot be defended at all.
Some people died, but not completely......
