Chapter 307: The Fire of the Prairie - The Last Vacation (Part I)
Late at night, after a busy day, Rainon did not feel sleepy, although his weak and tired body reminded him that it was time to rest.
Ruinon poured a full glass of cold water from the kitchen, went to the roof, and looked at the stars in the sky and took a sip. The cool night breeze blew from east to west, bringing with him the damp air, and he loosened the collar of his pajamas as if enjoying the feeling of being wet and cold.
"The night sky is so beautiful tonight...... It's been a long time since I've been able to enjoy the starry sky above me so quietly. Xuan Qingyi's voice came from behind Ruinon.
Renon turned around and nodded to him. Indeed, a month after the capture of Changge City, Rui Nong and his party followed Xuanqingyi to conquer the south and the north, pacify the territory, and sweep away the remnants of the old Xuanqing Kingdom and armed parties. Although he had not encountered a master like Kii Kagezuru and experienced a fierce battle, he had no choice but to lose sight of the last time he had a short rest.
"It's such a luxury to even sit down and relax for a moment these days...... What's in the cup?" Xuan Qingyi smiled and sat down beside Rui Nong with a big grin.
"Plain water. ”
"Why don't you have some tea?"
"I want to get a good night's sleep. Renon shook his head.
"Ah......" As soon as he mentioned sleeping, Xuan Qingyi yawned loudly. With the support of the dwarven clan's new magic crystal cannon, the Xuanqing Righteous Army attacked all the way and was invincible, almost sweeping the entire Xuanqing Kingdom in less than three weeks. Winning a hundred battles is a good thing, but for Xuan Qingyi, it is painful and happy.
Xuan Qingyi's business volume increased exponentially, and although he troubled Charlie to find him four capable secretaries, the mountains of papers on his desk were not missing all day long. (Reader W: A competent secretary? Is it a capable female secretary?Author: Necessary.) The female secretary must be 'competent', hehehe...... Reader W: Got it. No wonder there are so many files. It's been hard work!)
Xuan Qingyi rubbed his sour eyes and said, "I can't remember the last time I went to sleep lying down." ”
"You really should take a good rest, and leave some things to your men. ”
"It's not like I haven't thought about it that way. But if I don't see it myself, I can't rest assured! This is my country, my everything, and only by personally dragging all this into my own hands can I feel at ease from the bottom of my heart. Saying that, Xuan Qingyi clenched his fists, "It's you, Ruinon." During these days, you have been running around with me, and you have suffered a lot, right? You have to go to the battlefield every day to be born and die......"
"Luckily, it's nothing. After saying that, Renon closed his eyes and thought to himself: "Suffering? What is this compared to the training in the illusion of life? Life and death? What is this compared to the battle of Kii Kagezuru? But I will not be paralyzed by this, the real battle is still to come.
"I'm relieved if you can say that......" After listening to Ruinong's words, Xuan Qingyi showed a relieved smile on his face. "In the future, when I truly restore the Xuanqing Kingdom, what do you want, just ask. ”
"A lake, a wooden house, no war, no worldly fame and fortune, a quiet and indifferent life. ”
"Oh my God, you're only a few years old! Xuan Qingyi said angrily and funny, "It seems that you are really tired." ”
Rainon stared at the stars twinkling in the night sky. Silent, with a lot of thoughts in my heart.
"You seem to have something on your mind. ”
"Who doesn't have so many troubles in his heart?"
Xuan Qingyi stretched out his finger and poked Ruinon's arm and said, "It's still quite stable now, and after a while, you will be so busy that you won't even have time to breathe." ”
"After a while?"
"People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and when the tree is big, it will attract the wind. Xuan Qingyi said angrily. "Byzantium did it right away. Now it's just the calm before the storm. Well, Ruinon, you might as well be in good shape. Take Fiona, Silver, and Gonzas to the beach to have fun and relax. Otherwise, you'll break down after a long time. ”
"Not interested. ”
"How long has it been since you've spoken to them?"
"This ......"
"Even if we have a meal together and have afternoon tea. When you're busy, they're busy, but you have your ideals. Busy but fulfilling, but their ideal is only you, busy but empty. ”
Renon was silent again. Maybe I should really tell Xuan Qingyi that it's time to give myself a vacation.
In mid-July 448, the Byzantine Emperor Flavi Justinian led a coalition army of 500,000 troops to less than 100 kilometers from the border of Xuanqing.
In fact, the news of the uprising of the Xuanqing Rebels in the Xuanqing Kingdom had already reached the ears of His Majesty Justinian more than a month ago, but why did he not start acting until July? The reason is very simple, because he is a man who does not fight uncertain battles.
The prestige of the Xuanqing rebels' new siege weapons and tactical magic crystal cannons had long been faithfully recorded by the Byzantine intelligence services and submitted to His Majesty Justinian. After reading the thick stack of reports, His Majesty Justinian immediately decided to stop and stand still. He didn't do this to give up Xuanqing Kingdom, but to wait for a more appropriate time.
His Majesty Justinian understands that the new siege weapon and tactical magic crystal cannon are very terrifying weapons, as long as there is one, it is enough to turn the tide of the battle in an instant, although the Eastern Alliance can be crushed by the tactics of the sea of people and annex the Xuanqing Kingdom in one fell swoop, but in this way, it will also greatly damage its vitality. The war in the West is intensifying, but this does not mean that the Western Alliance, led by Mecampus, will miss any opportunity to encroach on the Eastern League.
The Western Alliance must not be given any opportunity to take advantage of it. His Majesty Justinian thought to himself, "Those two weapons are good things!" How can I stiffen the relationship between Byzantium and Lombbaton?
Now that the Xuanqing Kingdom has signed an alliance with the dwarven country Lombbaton, attacking it will not only cause huge losses to oneself, but also further consolidate the friendship between the Xuanqing Kingdom and Lombbaton. For this reason, His Majesty Justinian, the moment he learned the news of the source of the new weapons of the Xuanqing Kingdom, immediately sent an envoy to Lombbaton with a large amount of gold and rare metal ores.
"I must endure, I must wait...... His Majesty Justinian, locking himself in his study, "I must wait for a suitable moment." ”
Now the Western Union has found itself in a two-front dilemma. The envoys to Lombbaton returned in vain, and the Xuanqing Rebels completely occupied the Xuanqing Kingdom...... His Majesty Justinian knew that his time had come.
"Your Majesty. Why did you wait until the Xuanqing Rebels had completely occupied the Xuanqing Kingdom before sending troops?" His eyebrows are clear, his curly brown hair and a resolute face are enough to charm many young girls.
"General Jones, I think you've heard that the Xuanqing Rebels have a new type of artillery, which is extremely powerful and strategically significant, as long as one of them exists, it is enough to change the tide of battle. His Majesty Justinian sat in the open carriage and stared ahead.
"My subordinates have already read the information and memorized it by heart. ”
"What's the use of rote memorization?" said His Majesty Justinian, shaking his head in disappointment. "The Xuanqing Rebels are a new force of armed force, although I still don't know who their leader is, how talented they are, and how much support they have behind him, but one thing is certain is that their human and material resources are by no means unlimited, especially elite talents. ”
"Then what does it matter if they take over the Xuanqing Country? Once the Xuanqing Righteous Army takes root in the Xuanqing Country, it will be too late. ”
"The larger the territory and the more cities there are, the more generals, soldiers, and supplies they need to garrison the cities. As he spoke, His Majesty Justinian took out the map and skimmed through it cursoryly. "If they only have one city, then they will concentrate all their forces and material resources and fight desperately. If they had ten cities, then they would have to divide their limited manpower and material resources into tenths ......"
"Your Majesty. Do you mean to wait until they divide their forces and break them down?"
"Do you think their leader will be as stupid as you?"
"Uh...... Incompetence of subordinates...... Please ......"
"Alright, alright!" said Justinian, waving his hand helplessly, "I'm too lazy to listen to nonsense. Use your brain more in the future. Our army is overwhelming, and they will definitely strategically give up some of the city's territory. Concentrate superior forces to confront our army, then we might as well push the boat with the current. Take advantage of this to carry out encirclement reinforcements. ”
"Encirclement and send reinforcements? What a strategy! My Emperor Shengming!"
This kind of formulaic praise was already cocooned in his ears under His Majesty Justinian, and he closed his eyes and thought: Why can't I have more people around me who are both civil and military, and who are loyal to the country? Either the limbs are developed and the mind is simple, or the knowledge is smart but the hands are powerless, even if there are talents who are both civil and military, it is also a bad plot in the heart...... Poor me had to use them again in a pinch. Damn it!
On the beach southeast of Bujundera, it had been three days since Renon had been here with Fiona, Silver, and Gonzas, and under Charlie's careful arrangement, the group of four, oh no, a group of three and a dragon, had a very fulfilling and enjoyable time.
Renon put his hands behind his head, lay under the umbrella, drank sherbet with ice, and watched Fiona and Silph splashing in the waves, not to mention how comfortable it was. "I never get tired of watching this scene...... "Renon showed a lewd smile at the corner of his mouth, "Hey, hey!"
The blue water soaked Fiona and Silver's thin gown, which clung to the wet flesh to reveal its seductive color. Suddenly Fiona remembered something, and she gestured to Silver, picked up a puddle of clear water, and ran quickly towards Rainon.
Jumping white rabbit, pink grapes...... Renon suddenly felt dizzy. There's nothing better in the world than this, isn't it? His dry Adam's apple felt like fire under his struggled movement. (Reader X: This is the legendary Lust Burn?)
"Wow!" the cold sea water poured down on his head, extinguishing the unquenchable desire in Ruinon's heart. "Giggles!" "Renon Fiona, who looked at the soup chicken, laughed wildly, "You're wet anyway, so let's play!" (Reader X: Wet...... Wet? Sounds a little weird. Author: I was also wet when I wrote the last paragraph...... )
"Don't make a fuss, Fiona!" Renon reluctantly got up, "I can't swim." ”
"Can't swim, it's useless!" said Gonzas behind him. (To be continued......)
