Not far away, Nacian stood at the gate of the barracks, with mixed feelings.

Daddy's business has improved, and he is finally living a stable life, and he should not continue to take risks, just wait quietly for his discharge. Besides, he hadn't seen the well-behaved little chubby cat for a long time, and if he embarked on the journey again, he would be unable to give up in his heart.

What's more, this war will be a war to overthrow the imperial power, and as a former prince, Nacian should be resistant.

But he didn't understand why, he was standing here.

The little chubby cat was by his side, seemingly taking the time to enjoy every second of being together.

She looks very cute in a pink dress with a small flower on her head. She walked up to Nacian and hugged him tightly.

"Nasian, you must come back safely." The little chubby cat's voice trembled a little.

Nacian patted her gently on the back and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll come back safely." And I'm going to bring you a big gift. ”

The little chubby's eyes lit up, and she asked curiously, "What big gift?" ”

Nacian smiled and didn't answer her question.

The two of them stood silently together, looked at each other for a long time, and reluctantly kissed goodbye.

"I'll be back, and when I get back, we'll get married." Nassian said.

The little chubby cat nodded, tears glistening in her eyes. She was confident that Nacian would return safely.

……

"Hey, is that Nacian's fiancée?" Eggers poked Bud and asked in a whisper.

Bud was busy handing out forms, too lazy to bother with her, "Probably, what's wrong, are you jealous?" ”

"What a joke." Eggers kicked him, "Her Royal Highness the princess said that a legitimate loli like me is very popular in their world!" ”

"Yes, yes," Bard said lazily, "you dwarf. ”

Eggers looked fierce, "What did you just say?" ”

Bard was naturally not threatened by her, "I just said, it seems that Maya, the daughter of General Nick, every time she sees Nacian, her eyes are not quite right. ”

Eggers snapped like a bolt from the blue, "What do you mean?" ”

Bud smiled evilly, "I don't know what it means, it's just that kind of look, it's either a revenge for killing my father, or it's thunder." ”

Maya's father was clearly alive and well, so even a hollow head like Eggers knew what to answer to this question. Her face flushed with anger all at once.

……

Little did Lydia know that this order for conscription and mobilization would soon spread to all the cities of the Red Pavilion. Many cities have even led soldiers on long journeys to Oasis New Town, and even young men and Mira have joined the tide of the crusade against the royal family.

The original plan was to have a weekly recruitment plan, but by the third day, it was already full. There are still many people in the hall at the entrance of the barracks, and there is no other way to enter the army.

Seeing the morale of the newly recruited rebels high, Lydia regained confidence in her heart. After calculating the auspicious day, Lydia held a grand military parade and prepared to set out for the battle.

I saw Lydia dressed in military uniform, standing heroically on the parade platform, with a proud smile on the corner of her mouth. She glanced at the parade stand, the military flag hunting, the war drums shook the heavens and the earth, and all the soldiers were well-groomed and their morale was high, and they were a mighty and majestic army.

Since you are on the march, you can't go out without a name. Lydia had already commissioned Mr. Axy to write a crusade against the Prince of the Mountain Fury. At this moment, she stood majestically on the reviewing stand and read it out impassionedly:

"What was once a glorious empire is now a land of desolation and cruelty. The mediocre prince Shannu is not in the right position, but he tries in vain to control the world and put the people of the desert in dire straits. The generalissimo's intervention in the government and the tyranny he implemented plunged the entire desert into darkness, and the people were miserable and mournful.

"However, good will triumph over evil in the end. At this stormy moment, the Red Pavilion came into the world, and was ordered by heaven to crusade against the unscrupulous faint monarch and save the sand people from fire, water, fire, and water. This is a contest between good and evil, a decisive battle between light and darkness. The mediocre prince Shannu must be driven out of the throne before the vast desert can see the light again.

"At this critical juncture, we welcome every warrior with justice in their hearts to join us and use our weapons and fighting spirit to seek happiness for the people in this desert.

"The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the people. In this great cause, we need to unite as one, and take on the important task of saving the common people.

"Good will triumph over evil, and light will dispel darkness. For the future of this land, for the sake of the lives of all the sand people, we will jointly crusade against the mediocre prince Shannu, and allow us to work together to create a prosperous and prosperous Hongguan paradise for the peace and security of the country. ”

Lydia spoke with a little sense of the grand narrative of the gods, and at this moment she was full of confidence, and her voice was like a thunderbolt, shaking everyone's heart. Inspired by her, the whole army issued a tsunami-like response, which shook the mountains for a while.

So Lydia took advantage of the high morale and ordered the march to Blue Rock City, and the three armies embarked on the journey to the ruined capital with high spirits.

……

Frankly speaking, Axe's rhetoric always has the sour smell inherent in the half-literate scholar class. In Lydia's opinion, this kind of discourse should not be understood by ordinary people.

But not smiling gave her a boost: for people of different classes, different propaganda methods must be used.

What Lydia didn't expect was that Axie's words were like a whirlwind that swept across the entire Wild Sand Empire.

His gorgeous rhetoric and majestic momentum are like a sharp sword, piercing people's hearts. As soon as the text came out, it immediately spread throughout the entire desert, and the whole territory shook for a while, and even the surrounding black iron, ice and snow and other national taverns sparked heated discussions.

In the vast desert, many down-and-out literati warriors who were disheartened by the decaying royal family of the Wild Sand Empire seemed to have regained hope.

Many people have inquired about who made this shocking article. When they heard the name "Aksai", their faces were full of shock beyond words.

"Axey?" The guests in those taverns exclaimed, "Could it be that the tax collector of the House of Commons, Aksai, who advocated reducing the tax burden, cultivating the people's livelihood, and expelling the demons?" ”

Another wave of guests said, "Then there is still a fake, such a spicy language can be written by a few literati whose backbone has not been broken." ”

The guests in the tavern immediately began to discuss: "As far as I know, the Emperor of the Wild Sand has stripped him of his noble status, and now he should be just a pariahical slave, how can he be reused by the Red Pavilion?" ”

A wandering merchant laughed beside him, "The Lord of the Red Pavilion has the ability to be omniscient and omnipotent, how can he care about the identity of a slave? All beings are equal in the territory of the Red Pavilion, and as long as they have talent, they can get ahead. ”

"Is there such a place?" The eyes of several wandering subhuman warriors suddenly lit up. They were also stripped of their identities in the early years, and now they can only live a life like mercenaries.

The merchant smiled, "Even if I can fool you, will the world-famous 'Princess of Gunfire' still lie to you?" The rumored 'Princess of Gunfire' is now the generalissimo of the Red Pavilion, if you really have the ability, you might as well go to her army. ”

As soon as the news spread, the cities in the south of the Wild Sand Empire heard that there was a rebellion in the north that killed the "Thousand-Faced Demon Queen", and it was just a lace news, as an after-dinner conversation. When they heard that it was Lydia's army, many people dragged their families across the Great Rift Valley overnight to surrender.

Even some lords woke up and found that even the servants who dressed and washed them had disappeared, and that they had become an empty city overnight.

Directly north of the ruined capital, there is a deep rift valley, like a giant dragon lying across the desert. This is the natural barrier of the ruined capital, isolating it from all threats of war from the north. There are only a few ropeways installed on it, and there are more heavy defenses, like a moat.

Originally, in front of the fortress of the Great Rift Valley, there were several small cities of several lords.

But no one expected that the Red Pavilion army was marching all the way, as if entering a no-man's land. Their banners were hunting, their swords, spears and halberds flashed with cold light, and under their imposing intimidation, the lords' sergeants turned against each other.

In just three days, the Red Pavilion army conquered the three cities in a row, approaching the Great Rift Valley, and even the Wild Sand royal family in the ruined capital was greatly shocked, and heard that the prince of Shannu was so frightened that he fell directly from the throne.

Looking at the successes of the past three days, Lydia couldn't help but sigh: "I only heard that the text is like an arrow, but I didn't expect that Mr. Axey's letter is much more powerful than an arrow." ”

"yes." The young man's voice sounded behind her, "This letter is like a sharp sword, piercing into the depths of the enemy's heart. They are not necessarily defeated by our weapons, but by the righteousness that lies deep in our hearts. ”

Lydia had long been familiar with the problems of the young middle two, and at this time she just smiled and did not speak. The two of them came to the front of the formation and observed a fortress outside the Great Rift Valley from a distance.

The fortress was like a giant beast, lying in front of the Great Rift, its hideous face threatening to devour all invading enemies at any moment.

The fortress towers into the sky, and the walls are thick and strong, made of huge stones. It was surrounded by a deep trench filled with spikes to block any possible siege engines from approaching.

The walls are filled with archers and trebuchets, like an iron wall of copper, guarding the land.

The gates of the fortress were closed, and in front of them stood a group of heavily armored soldiers, armed with spears and eyes like torches, watching vigilantly every move in the distance.

"Did you say they saw us?" Lydia asked suddenly.

The young man was about to answer, but the gate of the fortress on the opposite side suddenly opened, and a mighty general walked out of the castle.

He was dressed in iron armor, wearing a sharp long knife at his waist, his posture was straight, his steps were steady, and his eyes were sharp, revealing a heroic spirit and determination.

Behind him, an elite group of soldiers followed, armed with swords, and took up a defensive position, as if they were ready to fight Lydia.

"Oh roar." Lydia threw her hands at the young man, "Looks like the tough guy is here." ”
