Chapter 1: Sending Troops
Mirro, the capital of Mirrok, the ducal palace.
Dick was still standing in front of the garden admiring the flowers, and Dimhera was still by his side, but the difference was that the garden was full of flowers and competing for beauty. The fragrance of flowers is fragrant, attracting bees and butterflies. Instead of just a few buds, as last time.
This is because it has been more than three months since Bafang Athletic, and it is already a hot early summer.
In the past three months, the three major empires of the Karimodan continent have been quietly recovering their strength, recruiting soldiers, training new soldiers, purchasing armaments, and rehearsing wars, and they are very busy. At this moment, even the Xiusi Empire, which had been hit the hardest in the battles half a year ago, had already recovered some of its vitality.
And the military liliang of the Miro Empire is even stronger than before the war. It's not just the Northern Legion, the Miro Legion, the Western Frontier Legion, and the Demon Hunter Legion that have been replenished. Moreover, an expeditionary army against the Faun Empire was specially formed.
This expeditionary army gathered the elite of the entire Miro Empire, formed by Marshal Lupsas himself, not only after rigorous training, but also sent to the southwest border, northern border, southern border and other areas to fight with foreign races in real battles, is a real force that has seen blood and fought battles!
Dick once told Edward VII through the mouth of Mitte that it was not advisable to use troops against Faun for half a year, and the disgraceful emperor really listened to the advice, and has been sharpening his sword for nearly half a year, just waiting for the day when the war begins, and the sword is swung to send troops!
Dick instinctively had a hunch that this day would not be far away.
And the Faun Empire also seems to have a hunch, and has been training soldiers and purchasing equipment since more than half a year of peacetime. The people with a keen sense of smell had already felt the smell of gunpowder between the two countries, the merchants began to hoard goods, and the nobles began to prepare for war, but for the small people of Shengdou, they were just a little more talking after dinner.
I don't know if it's the result of participating in the Bafang Athletic and fighting against the strong, Dick's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in the past three months, and he is now a sixth-level great mage and dragon knight.
"What are you thinking, boy?" asked Dimichra lazily.
Dick glanced back at her when he heard this, the early summer sun shone lazily on her body, gilding her figure with a layer of gold, and the long black hair fell like a waterfall, smooth and soft, Dick could almost see his shadow in the black hair like a waterfall.
She wore a long black dress that fitted her, and the shoulders, breasts, waist, arms, and legs that set off her drew an incomparably beautiful arc. Beautiful and generous, seductive reverie.
Her blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, as if she felt that the afternoon sun was a little dazzling. Her distant mountain-like eyebrows are slightly furrowed, which makes people feel distressed, and her red lips are slightly curled, like ripe peaches.
"Boy, I'm asking you!" Dick's voice woke up Dick in a slightly hoarse and magnetic voice, and he said, "Oh...... This one...... I ......"
Dimhera burst out laughing, revealing a row of jade-like teeth and two tiny dimples on her cheeks. With a smile, all kinds of charms are born.
Dick blushed, "Oh...... What do you think I think? Of course I'm thinking about the Miro Empire's dispatch of Faun. โ
Demichra laughed, "Boy, have you ever thought about what you should do after you get your revenge?"
"This ...... I really didn't think about it. Dick sneered, "Let's talk about it then, maybe it's to collect a fragment of the Immortal Sword, maybe it's to concentrate on cultivation, or maybe it's the same as now...... Who knows?"
Dimihera suddenly leaned closer to her face, pointed at the tip of Dick's nose with a slender slender, and said with a smile: "Boy, you are sometimes quite cute, but you are only an eighteen or nineteen-year-old little guy after all, and you should think of something else besides revenge." โ
The first time he had such close contact with Dimihera, Dick was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, when a bulletin sounded for him. A servant reported from afar: "Lord Dick, a messenger from the court asks to see you." โ
Dick immediately rushed to the parlor, where the palace envoy was waiting for him.
Dick straightened his clothes, then stepped forward and asked, "What does Bixia want you to come over?"
"Oh, Duke Dick, that's right, Bixia wants you to come to the palace to meet him at once, please come with me, the carriage is ready for you. โ
A few minutes later, Dick was standing in front of Edward VII's study, where in addition to Edward VII sitting on his chair, there were Chancellor Macaulon, and Field Marshal Lupsas.
Edward VII's complexion was worse than the last time he had seen him. His face was as pale as paper, his eye sockets were deep, his lips were bloodless, and only those eyes still shone brightly.
"See Bixia!" Dick saluted.
"Excuse me," waved Edward VII, "since Duke Dick has arrived, let's get started." โ
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the sand table in the center of the study, followed by Lupsas, Dick, and the others.
Edward VII looked at the sand table in front of him and said: "Mitt once suggested that I should not use troops against Faun for half a year, this suggestion is very good, in the past half a year, my Miro Empire has recuperated and recovered, and the national strength has returned to its peak state, so we can't wait any longer, waiting any longer will only make our people forget the shame of the past, and will only make our enemies fully prepared, therefore, I have decided to send troops to Faun now!"
Dick's heart jumped, and he was overjoyed.
"Bixia, please think twice...... Prime Minister Macauran said, but before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by Edward VII waving his hand: "Macauran, I have made up my mind, you just need to concentrate on preparing food, grass and logistical supplies, and there is no need to say anything else!"
"Yes, Bixia. McAllan sneered and fell back into place.
"Lupsas, Dick, you two and Long'er will accompany me on my expedition to Faun. Edward VII said lightly.
"Bixia, no, you should take good care of your body now, it is not suitable to go out with the army. Lupsas stepped forward and admonished.
Edward VII waved his hand: "No need to say any more, I must see with my own eyes the march of the army of Mirรณ into Faliend, and see the day when the despicable Faenn people submit!"
"Duke Dick. Edward VII called.
"Wechen is here. Dick replied.
Edward VII's eyes sparkled and said, "This battle is very important, so I want to recruit your 150,000 demon hunting legions stationed in Millrock City to join the expeditionary force, are you willing?"
"This is Wechen's honor. Dick bowed. His heart is bright, once the expeditionary army and the Miro army are opened, the garrison strength of the imperial capital Mirrock will be reduced to the extreme, how can Edward VII rest assured that his 150,000 troops will stay in Mirrock City?
Edward VII said, "Very well, Lupsas, I have appointed you as the commander-in-chief of this campaign, and Dick and Longer are responsible for assisting you. โ
"Yes, Bixia, do as you command!" Dick and Lupsas both bowed.
On the outskirts of Mirrock, all the soldiers of the expeditionary legions, the Miro Legion, and the Demon Hunting Legion stationed in the imperial capital gathered here. More than 600,000 people stood like a mountain, with a solemn and majestic momentum. The sun shone brightly on the warriors' iron armor, dazzling people's eyes.
In front of the mountain-like military formation, there is a temporary wooden platform. Edward VII stood at the front of the platform, with Lupsas, Lund and Dick behind him.
"Soldiers!" shouted Edward VII, his voice echoing through the audience through the amplification magic, "Just over eight months ago, the despicable Faun took advantage of our miro to invade our land, brutalize our people, and invade our capital!
"This is a disgrace! Such a disgrace can only be washed away with the blood of the enemy!"
"Now, I, Miro, have regained all my vitality, and the clowns who took advantage of the weakness in the past should regret their stupid behavior! Soldiers, use the swords in your hands to show this group of Fa Benese the price of bullying my Milo national prestige! Milo's glory is with me! The god of war is with me!"
"The glory of Miro is with me!
"The glory of Miro is with me!
"The glory of Miro is with me!
......
More than 600,000 voices shouted in unison, the sound shook for nine days, resounding through the heavens and the earth, and the rolling waves shook the distant jungle trembling. The warriors raised their blades in unison and pointed at the sky, their swords, spears and halberds glittering in the sunlight.
"Now, let's go! Marshal Lupsas will lead you to conquer the city and establish meritorious deeds!"
The army of 600,000 slowly pulled out, wave after wave, like a long dragon of steel winding into the distance.
After an impassioned speech, Edward VII seemed a little tired, and immediately his attendants came up to support him, and raised the dragon canopy to shield him from the sun.
"Bixia, please take care of your health," Marshal Lupsas said sincerely.
Edward VII waved his hand weakly: "I'm fine, the soldiers fought for the country, they are much more tired than me, and I just gave a speech." โ
