Allegri naturally did not know that the "death knell" of doom was falling from the sky.

It's like he doesn't know that in the near future, the situation on the mainland will change dramatically. Those heroes and heroes who once thought that they could dominate the direction of history will eventually find that they are just chess pieces, desperately struggling on the chessboard of death.

When the north and south twin peaks collapsed violently, and on the low hills of rubble, the two kings got up, surrounded by undulating mountains. One self-righteous figure after another, standing with them, among the kings. The so-called "War of Kings" finally ushered in its most gorgeous and turbulent stage.

Later generations of scholars wrote down this history with a little amusement. It's called a time when "heroes and bears are mixed, and neither of them knows whether they're the former or the latter."

Time, and only time, can make a judgment on a qiē.

But at least for now, in the first phase of the "War of Kings", "The Lion King" Nacini is still the undisputed protagonist.

And in the coming period, his brilliance will become brighter and brighter, until all the stars in the heavenly dome are obscured.

At the end of August, Frodo and Xilin, the three northern counties, fell, and Snowton's army set out for Ian's capital of Severa. The Northwest Theater plus the border zone occupies one-third of the total territory of the Principality of Ian, and if it falls, the entire Southern Theater will be completely open to the enemy.

While the good news was frequent, King Nacini did not forget about another battlefield behind him. He issued several edicts in succession to establish two major academies in the rear of the empire. Among them, the Military Academy is responsible for training young officers and enriching the ranks of the Southern Expedition. The Faculty of Civil Affairs and Politics trained reserve officials to establish a complete administrative system in the occupied areas.

It is worth mentioning. These two academies are open to middle- and lower-class nobles, commoners, and military officers. That is to say, it is difficult for the old aristocratic forces to extend their influence to the new territories in the south. This is also King Nachinani. One of the important measures to try to get rid of the constraints of the aristocracy.

Snowton's nobles were inevitably dissatisfied with this. They were ready to move in Norman City, or they jointly petitioned for help, or euphemistically admonished, and even some officials directly wrote to protest. The old general Kudran, who remained in Norman, sent all the documents presented to the front on the pretext that he had no right to dispose of them. King Konacini was thousands of miles away, and it was not easy to drag on for a few months.

Of course. He also knew that if these two academies were located in the empire, the noble officials would either use methods to delay time or stuff people into it. Therefore, he specially ordered to select sites in the Herseus Valley and the Green River Valley, one to get rid of the control of the aristocratic forces, and the other to better support the front line. Moreover, King Nacini also wanted to recruit some southerners into the academy. to consolidate their rule.

If you want to unify the mainland, why divide the north and the south again?

After the destruction of Xilin City. King Nacini led his troops to leave and returned to the middle army to take charge of the overall situation.

Unless he stayed and rested for more than three days, everything should be simple, and this was the military law he personally formulated. Therefore, in the simple royal tent, there is only one sake and two side dishes on the table.

"Temporarily suspended...... A qiē involves Allegri's actions. King Nacini munched on the roasted beef. While explaining vaguely. It was only in front of a few cronies such as Mordschic that he would be so informal.

"Yiqiē?" Mordschic confirmed, the second time he had received the same order, but if he did, his original plan would be greatly affected. So he hesitated.

"Yiqiē," King Nacini nodded, taking a sip of sake, and explained, "I thought that magic was just a nice-to-have thing...... But during the Battle of Xilin, I witnessed the explosion of the city walls, and I knew the power of magic. ”

"It is said that it was General Ebert's multi-day siege of the city before, coupled with the spells of the mages accompanying the army, which greatly consumed the power of the magic array, and Count Allegri's array was able to exert such an amazing effect. Mordecic cautiously offered his opinion. In the past few days, Allegri's story of breaking Xilin has long been spread. Although there was a lot of water inside, it did take only a few hundred people to successfully break through the city, which caused a great sensation in the armies of both the north and the south.

"Even if that's the case, how many cities are there on the enemy side that are protected by the Divine Array?" King Nacini's eyes burned, "When all the second-line legions arrive, I will attack the city with infantry and magic, and use cavalry to intersperse and encircle the points to send reinforcements...... At that time, not to mention that the Holy See will only borrow 100,000 troops from Seterstian, even if it is twice as much, what is there to fear?"

"I see," replied Modesci, "I immediately revise my plan to try to catch those big fish without involving Count Allegri." ”

"Don't mention that," King Nacini asked, changing the subject, "you read a lot of books, what kind of existence was the former Magic Empire?"

At the time of Snowton's founding, magical civilization had been in decline for a long time, and even historical materials had been scattered throughout the "Dark Millennium". The gradually flourishing Bright Church tried its best to suppress the group of mages, so in the long years, history became wild history, and wild history became legends.

King Nacini, who was born in the poor demon country of Snowdon, is not aware of this, and it is normal. Although successive kings have symbolically formed a court mage group, it is only a pastime in their leisure time. Take this southern expedition as an example, among the 300,000 troops, what role can the mage legion of only a few hundred people play?

"Actually, there aren't many records of the Magic Empire in the history books, but it's often found in fiction stories," Mordschic replied slowly, "Magicians don't govern the country by cities, but by towers, because city defenses mean nothing to them." The leader of the major schools, who controls the supreme tower of his own lineage, sits on one side and is in the same position as the princes...... The successive emperors were chosen from among these people......"

"Go on. King Nacini was fascinated by this, and when he saw him pause, he urged.

"The Magic Empire is a power-only regime, with different levels of mages forming a hierarchical ruling system," Mordsecic took a sip of water, and continued, "The upper mage has to be matched with a county, and the high-ranking mage has to enjoy a city, if your descendants or students cannot reach the same level, these territories will be reclaimed by the empire and redistributed to other mages." ”

"That's fair. King Nacini commented.

"Therefore, the Magic Empire does not have an aristocratic family, but only a school and a master-apprentice inheritance, and this relationship is even stronger than blood," Modescich paused, for example, "like Master Herseus and Count Allegri." ”
