490 Beacon Smoke (5)
Closing the paper clip on the table, the fat man stood up from his seat, stretched his slightly sore limbs, and walked to a balcony outside the city lord's study,
This abrupt platform is located at the top of Vic's main castle, and at a glance, you can see the scene of Vic's New Town outside
The newly completed Vic New Town, about 10 kilometers long and wide, is divided into the inner and outer urban areas, which covers an area of one-third of the inner urban area, is the barracks and management area, is separated by a thick city wall, the outer area of the range, it includes the harbor area, the business area, the residential area, accounting for two-thirds of the Victor New Town, in order to expand the population, the periphery of the Victor New Town, but also built more than ten towns of different sizes, these areas, a good resettlement of a large number of refugees in the north,
The six main streets are like a huge fan that spreads outward, with the castle as the center, dividing the huge area into eastern and western trade areas, from which all kinds of goods are loaded and transported to Vikia on the other side of the sea or to the northern territories in the interior
The night of Vic New Town is beautiful, full of lights and low noise, mixed with the melodious and dancing sound of the Salander organ, permeated in this intoxicating gentle night breeze,
The moon is exceptionally bright tonight. It was the fullest time of the month again, the sky was full of stars, but there was not the slightest cloud, and the cold moonlight spread around Vic New Town without limit, reflecting the surrounding mountains with a faint layer of light.
Since the Northern Lordlords Federation spread the news that Vic City was hosting the Winter Veil Festival,
The originally cold Vic New City suddenly became the hottest economic center in the north, and caravans from all directions of Salander gathered in Vic New Town.
The bright lights and the heavy creaking wheels of the freight carriage have become a unique scenery in Vic New Town, which shows the ingenuity of the fat man when choosing the city site, and the inner and outer urban areas can not only ensure the defense of the main fortress, but also accommodate the city's resources to the greatest extent.
Seeing a brightly lit villa at the east end of the inner city, the fat man suddenly felt a move in his heart,
This is the place where the Wiki envoys are housed, because of the urgency of the military, Statúenk was sent home by the fat man after the meeting to monitor the possible situation of the Veds.
The beautiful Mao Mona Qing and Fei Dun Lanya were temporarily retained as liaison officers.
For these two troublesome beauties, the fat man can only place them in the city of Victor, otherwise if he meets Nilai who returns to Lhasa to prepare for the Winter Veil Festival,
The terrible headache is by no means inferior to letting the fat man face a dilemma
"Women are all tigers" humming the most popular song of the 21st century, the fat man is guided by four guards as he leaves the main fort and walks through the surrounding pine forest paths to the independent garden.
As the residence of the envoy of Vychia, it was heavily defended, with three lines of defense consisting of the Samorian guards, and any carriage approaching must have a letter from the fat man
When the captain of the "adult" team saw the fat man coming, he gave an order, and more than 100 people knelt down to greet the fat man.
The fat man smiled and shook his head: "No need to be like this, don't you know that I have already given an order, and when you see me here, you don't have to be so restrained."
The team leader still refused to get up, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, let us kneel down once to show our supreme respect for you, all of us are willing to do anything for you." ”
The fat man understood their mood very well, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Okay, since you've already knelt, now stand up for me." ”
The squad leader gave an order, everyone stood up in unison, and the two guards pushed open the door of the Chrysanthemum Courtyard, revealing a gentle orange light inside
The fat man went in alone,
"Giggles, sister, you're fooling"
The distinctive laughter of Fitton Lanya came from the villa, and the cry of Mao Mona Qing like jade beads, why were they so elated?
The fat man pushed open the door of the villa and saw two beautiful women on both sides of the large table in the hall, looking intently at the strange gadgets placed on a white jade board.
Philan Dunya was the first to see the fat man, and was surprised to immediately climb up to her beautiful face, and shouted: "The Grand Duke come and help me, Sister Naqing is too powerful"
Mao Monaqing, who was facing away from the fat man, heard Fei Dun Lanya's shout, her delicate body shook violently, her ears immediately turned red, she stood up and turned around, lowered her head and said: The Grand Duke is fine. ”
Fei Dun Lan Yajiao smiled: "Don't be so afraid of him, even if he is fierce on the surface, in fact, he is very easy-going, and I am afraid that I will not remember the events at the meeting for a long time." ”,
The fat man was so angry that he almost vomited blood, thinking of the embarrassment at the meeting at that time, he couldn't help but hate his teeth, but he couldn't take this little woman.
If Mao Monaqing's love can be realized cleverly, then the mind of this little Kugit woman can be seen even by the blind,
The fat man walked over to the table. I saw that the chessboard on the table was divided into white jade and jade carved into horses, cows, dogs, deer and other beast-shaped chess pieces, and the carving was exquisite. I couldn't help but ask Mao Monaqing: "How do you know how to play this Kugit chess?"
Mao Mo Na Qing smiled sweetly and said: "Don't forget, my Mao Mo family has a close connection with the Kujitte people, and since she was a child, Na Qing has already known this beast flag."
"And it's still a master, even I, a pure Kujit, am not an opponent" Feitun Lanya next to him raised his pretty face, grinned and made a hateful and cute grimace at the fat man, and said: "Grand Duke, you, the number one general in the continent, won't even dare to accept the challenge of a little woman, come and help me and beat this hateful guy." ”
"What nonsense, how could the Grand Duke fall in love with this kind of beast chess when grazing in the grassland wild" Mao Mona Qing raised her jade face with her cheeks hanging down, and asked softly: "I don't know if it disturbed the Grand Duke's rest time?" This beauty's love for the fat man really made the fat man both favored but headache.
Fei Dun Lanya pouted her ruddy and seductive little mouth, and said, "Good sister, let's go down to the same place just now."
Mao Mona Qing said with a stern face: "Then how can it be done? Didn't it mean earlier that this was a war chess, just like on the battlefield, there was no chance to fight back." ”
"Yes, there is only one possibility of fate, either this one, or another, and there is never a chance to turn back and come back" The fat man's heart was trembling,
After hesitating for a moment, the fat man reached out and picked up the chess piece that had defeated Fittonland, and put it back in its place
"In reality, we have no ability to return to fate, if we can't deceive ourselves in the game, try to surpass fate, how boring it is"
Mao Monaqing's body shook slightly, and after glancing at the fat man meaningfully, he lowered his head and said softly, "If this world is not as good as war, then we don't have to worry about losing our relatives, property and facing the oppression of powerful powers, and we can live peacefully and happily forever."
After saying this pun, Mao Mona Qing lowered her head with a pale face, and being able to say these words to the fat man, the killer demon king, was enough to prove her courage
"Is there no war" The fat man's expression was slightly dark, and he could only sigh and say for the beautiful thoughts of this beauty, "Where there are people, there are interests, and where there are interests, there will be wars, if we don't want our interests to be wantonly seized by others, then the only thing we can do is to take up arms and fight for ourselves."
The fat man's voice paused, and his face was stern, "What is war, the weapon of the country, out of the sheath, blood flowing all over the field, corpses all over the city, no matter whether you win or lose, it is a kind of harm to the people of Vikia, but have you ever thought that if Vikia put down the weapon in his hand, then Vikia would have become a province of other countries a long time ago."
"Stopping the war with war, this is the only thing I can do in this troubled world, as long as I can minimize the suffering of the people of Vekia, even if I bear the charge of the Demon King, I will never regret it"
Mao Monaqing's body trembled slightly, and she looked at the fat man with clear eyes, what she said just now, for her, a pacifist, was tantamount to a morning bell and a big drum, penetrating the depths of her soul
Where there are people, there are interests, and where there are interests, there are wars
No one expected that the fat man of Samar, who was known as a war maniac and a murderer by the outside world, would say such a profound philosophical statement, and the frustration and helplessness in that tone undoubtedly revealed the pity and sadness of the ruler of Vekia for his own people
"The Grand Duke is right, it's Na Qing who is too reckless" Mao Mo Na Qing looked solemn and bowed to him
A crisp bird call suddenly came from the roof of the villa, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night
"It's my Kugit Blue Eagle"
Feitonlanda's face changed slightly, and a low snort came out of her mouth. Even the dispute just now was gone, Xiao Jump jumped up from the table, and soon, hurried down from the second floor,
"Oh no, something is wrong" Fei Dun Lanya's face was pale, holding a small and delicate yellow short copper cylinder in one hand, and a thin yellow cloth in the other
"What's wrong?" the fat man hurriedly greeted him,
He once heard Feidun Lanya say that the green eagle is the highest level of communication birds of the Kugit people, and it can fly thousands of miles a day, according to this speed, it is only 2 or 3 days away from the far north Kugit grassland to the warm and beautiful Salander, it is good to eat and drink on weekdays, and it can only be used once in a lifetime, after use, the green eagle will die of exhaustion, Duo Weiyan actually used such a precious one-time resource, it is conceivable that this time the matter must be very big, and extremely urgent,
"The Holy City of Turga Collapsed ......"
Feidun Lanya's eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled and handed the yellow cloth roll in her hand to the fat man, "Brother said, because of the continuous heavy rain since the beginning of winter, the entire Tulka grassland has become a muddy swamp,
In order to reduce the loss of livestock caused by the cold winter rains, the royal court of Tulga allowed the tribes who were grazing outside to move closer to the holy city of Tulga, which has been adopted in previous years, and it is for this reason that the holy city of Tulga has become a sacred place in the hearts of the Kugit people."
Fei Dun Lanya suddenly paused, glanced at the fat man strangely, and then said, "But this year, because of the loss of one-third of the western grassland, many tribes grazing outside have to gather in the Tulga grassland, and the harvest capacity of the holy city of Tulga is overwhelmed.
Since the beginning of this month, starting from the outer lake, the outer wall has collapsed continuously, and countless clansmen have not only lost their shelter, but thousands of people have been crushed under the rubble alone, and the losses are unbearable
But no one expected that just three days ago, this kind of collapse momentum would spread to Cloud City, where the royal court is located, and now not only the royal court, but also the other Kujit people in Tulga, are also panicking, many people say that this year's strange long freezing rain and the collapse of the holy city of Tulga are all caused by the anger of the immortal heaven."
"Oh, what do you think of your brother?As the eye closest to the Tulga area, I believe he is the most vocal person" The fat man's eyebrows were furrowed, and he twisted into a Sichuan character in the center of his eyebrows, he didn't expect to encounter such news,
The Kugit people are an extremely brave and warlike people, because of the cruel living conditions, they often go to foreign wars to get through the difficulties when they encounter a catastrophic year.
If what the Hong Kong Economic Journal said is true, then this year's north, it is not just as simple as bloody rain, a nation that has been forced to the edge of life and death, no one can say what crazy moves will be made, and now it is Vekia that is guarding the exit of Aychemore, how to look at it, this time the city gate of Kugit is on fire, and Vikia is in danger of being affected by the pond fish
"Brother thinks that now is the best time for us to counterattack Tulga, now that Turga is in chaos, all tribes are fighting to grab a place to hide from the disaster, as long as the Grand Duke is willing to provide enough resources and food, my Duowei Department is willing to serve as the vanguard, open the gate to Tulga for the Lord, and let the Grand Duke's falcon battle flag be planted at the head of the holy city of Tulga"
Feitun Lanya's voice paused, and his face, which should have been happy, was full of gloom, and he looked at the fat man and said, "However, I think it is a very unwise act to send troops to Tulga now, and the Duowei Department will inevitably pay a heavy price for this reckless move."
"Oh, why do you think that?" the fat man raised his head, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes at Pheton Lanya's words, "Didn't the Duowei always want to return to Tulga?
"It's not that you're backing down, it's that the timing is wrong," Fei Dun Lanya didn't shy away from the fat man's knife-like gaze, "You don't understand Tulga's place in the hearts of our Kujits
It is a holy city, a place that cannot be desecrated by outsiders, and if it is another area, in the face of the enemy's army pressure, we will choose to retreat or avoid when we cannot resist.
But the holy city of Turga will not, it is the last refuge of all Kugit people, the return of the souls of our ancestors of Kujit, no matter how strong the enemy is, we will never back down"
"Brother's unauthorized attack will only make Vikia the target of the Tugar people to vent their anger," Fei Dun Lanya looked at the fat man proudly, "Let the war that could have been avoided burn on the border of Vikya again, presumably the Grand Duke doesn't want to see it, right?"
"Hehe, of course I know the place of Tulga in the hearts of your Kujits, I was in your holy city of Turga three months ago" The ice on the fat man's face turned into a warm smile, and he looked at the stunned Fei Dun Lanya, and showed a meaningful smile
"I even attended your July Festival, and I saw with my own eyes the towering stele tower that stood on the top of the temple, engraved with your Kugit prophecy, and more importantly, I also met a person who could not have survived, as long as she was there, I would not be stupid enough to fight any Tulga"
"You participated in the July Festival? This is impossible to ......" Fei Dun Lanya's face was slightly red, as a Kujit, of course he knew the meaning of the July Festival, looked at the fat man's gaze, was shocked and confused, and said boldly,
"That was the height of our battle with the Ryordians, and the city of Tulka was completely locked down. Even I can't cross the blockade, so I have to stay in Dugan in the north, how could you possibly meet someone there who would make you so jealous?"
"Hehe, you don't know too much, the real master has already decided a lot of things invisibly" The corner of the fat man's mouth smiled bitterly, and he couldn't help but think of a graceful and mature woman in his mind, his eyes flashed with a trace of pain, and his voice was solemn
"If I sue you, burn the Ludato Mountain, force the 60,000 Left Guard cavalry to death, let the 100,000 northern army of Rui Erdian, detour to the western grassland, and finally fight with me Vikia in the western snow-capped mountains, and even your brother led the army to attack Aiche Moor, and forced the Rui Erdian people into a desperate situation in one fell swoop, this qiē is a trap designed by that person a long time ago, don't you believe it even more"
Dun Lanya's face was shocked and inexplicable, of course she knew that these things had turned the tide of the entire northern war, but she never expected that it would be the handiwork of a certain person, such a hand could already be called the hand of heaven that moved the course of history
If it was someone else's words, Feiton Lanya might scoff at it, but now it is the Vechia Falcon who has the number one general in the continent and has just sat on the throne of northern hegemony, and has witnessed a series of bloody and cruel war events, and the authenticity of this matter is basically certain
"What the Grand Duke said is Her Majesty Queen Aichemore" Mao Mona Qing looked solemn and sighed, "If it weren't for the witnesses of that experience, it would be hard for me to imagine that there is such a terrible person in the world who would think of going against such a character, and even the most basic confidence is gone, with her, who would dare to attack Tulga"
"Just take what I just said, put the original words back to the Duowei Department to fight or not, let your brother decide for himself, I once promised him not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Duowei Ministry"
The fat man looked out the window, and said with a blank expression, "I will order the Northern Army of Salon to strengthen the monitoring of the direction of Tulga, and if necessary, I will let go of the Echemore Pass and let the Duowei Department enter the border for refuge, I hope that this Tuga disaster will not affect me Vikia."
"Actually, this incident doesn't necessarily require soldiers to meet," Mao Mona Qing next to him said in a condensed voice, "Tulga's revenge must be avenged, but it is by no means now, this time the collapse of the holy city will inevitably weaken the appeal of the royal court."
Instead of directly fighting with inferior troops,
It is better to take this opportunity to win over the marginal tribes, take the opportunity to strengthen their own strength, and hoard strength in order to have a chance to fight a decisive battle in the future."
