When the day dawned, the rain was a little lighter

The fat man got up from the bed, took the wet towel from his disciple Besukaya, wiped his face fiercely, and the information in the middle of the night let him know that his good days in Putao were over, and he tacitly agreed with the Gauls to stop a winter war, and soon break out here because of this torrential rain,

He must rush back to Rusty and personally command the war that will determine the fortunes of the Empire,

The matter of the Fat Man's negotiation with the Aliens was entrusted to the Minister of the Admiralty Dustrenkai, and he sent someone to Turit Colin, who was still in the Burrows family's station, and sent a letter of explanation, and Philantonya, as the commander of the 30,000 Xiting army, after kissing the fat man in the early morning, rushed back to Lisbonto to gather the troops of the Xiting, and then rushed to the southwest by sea.

"Bring these documents that the Ministry of Military Affairs just sent! Some of them are urgent" The fat man picked up a stack of papers on the table and handed them to Besukaya, who was sorting out his bags next to him, the fleet was already waiting in the port, and this time it was Teagar's fleet docked in the port that was responsible for sending the fat man to the southwest region

On the deck of the flagship of the fleet, the fat man held the side of the ship in his hand, turned to look at the misty Putao area, and the white raindrops seemed so unreal

"Teacher, will we come back?" Besukaya's big eyes also looked at the city that rapidly retreated in sight as the battleship raised its sails, the houses with the spires were spotless and glittering as the rain washed away, and the harbor in the early morning was seren

"To be honest, I don't know!" The corner of the fat man's mouth smiled bitterly, who dared to say that the supreme of the empire could do everything, such as himself, he had to run for the future of the empire, and when others were still asleep, he had to worry about a sudden rainy season.

According to the report, the Rasti region has been experiencing rainy weather since the beginning of spring

Tozer was an extremely careful man, the early spring was the season of cultivation, and the governor of the empire personally commanded it, but the effect was very poor, not because of lack of preparation, but because of the rainy days in the first month of spring, and the water of the three largest rivers, which crossed from west to east from the Rasti region, swelled. The flood control facilities in the Rasti area, which had been damaged by the previous war, made the flood unstoppable and expanded at an alarming rate, and the flood water, mixed with a large amount of sediment, rolled forward, overflowed the river embankment overnight, and rushed into low-lying areas and urban areas, causing many areas to be flooded.

Half of Rasti area. At the turn of the early spring, it became the land of water, and the three inland rivers that ran through it were like three raging yellow dragons, sweeping across the land and disrupting the entire Rasti region. Tear apart, wash away rivers and bridges along the way, wash away villages and fields,

In the southern part of Rasti, which is controlled by the Falcons, flooding is concentrated in low-lying urban areas. Because the Falcon Empire had implemented its previous policy of expelling refugees, the city's walls withstood the impact of floods, and most of the submerged areas outside the city were no-man's land.

In this spring rainstorm, the impact was not very large, under the suppression of 200,000 imperial troops eyeing the Gallics, some small-scale confrontations and riots of the Gauls were quickly suppressed, and the "benevolent" governor of Duo Xue also began to be recognized by the occupied areas, and the strength of resistance was weakening, coupled with the defection of local forces, although the flood was very destructive, but the occupied areas were basically stable.

But the area controlled by the Gauls was miserable After a short winter of recuperation, the Gauls requisitioned a large amount of food from all over the country to relieve the victims, but the number of refugees gathered in the Gaul-controlled area is still 500,000 people, plus the Gauls gathered 400,000 troops from all over the country in this winter, close to a million mouths that need to eat, like a huge black hole, so that the financial burden of the Gallic Empire that was drying up day by day is highlighted again, this time the sudden and heavy rain, washed away a large number of refugee settlements, a miserable, drowned refugees as many as more than 100,000 people, miserable, in order to prevent these desperate refugees from hitting the cityThe Gallic side has already issued a decree restricting the entry of refugees to the city.

The Gallic Empire promulgated a conscription tax at the beginning of winter, and then successively increased a series of taxes such as spring ploughing tax, cattle and sheep tax, labor tax, etc., this time, the Gallic Empire expanded the scope of taxation from small rural yeoman farmers to landlords, small nobles, and some large nobles who owned large tracts of land.

Algernon Julia, the court affairs officer who received the petition, came to the emperor's bedchamber early in the morning and received the news that the emperor had not rested for another night

Algernon Julia's gaze inadvertently swept over the edge of the corridor in front of the emperor's window, where there were several palace maids cleaning up something nervously, some of the areas were covered with a layer of ash, or put on flowers, these flowers were just flower bones, they were not open, they looked lonely there, not coordinated at all, and it always made people feel awkward, several palace maids saw Algernon Giulia and quickly stopped talking, and left with a hesitant expression, "It happened again last night, was it? Who is it this time?" Algernon Julia took a deep breath, frowned slightly, and asked the emperor's attendant at the door in a low voice, this emperor's attendant was a young imperial officer with a heroic face, wearing a red silk jacket, and on the golden velvet cuffs were the marks of two long swords crossing, which was the sign of the captain of the emperor's Praetorian Guard, "It is the vice-captain who has just joined Longkazedo"

The attendant replied with a gloomy face, with a hint of sadness on his face, "Originally, it was Stolard on duty yesterday, and his wife had just given birth to a son for him, so he took it upon himself to let Lonkazedo, who didn't know the situation, take it upon himself to replace Lonkazedo in the second half of the night, who knows, it was in the second half of the night that the Emperor's angry sword pierced Lonkazedo's throat!" "Damn it, this is Yan Zòng's dereliction of duty, how is the situation of the Emperor now?" Algernon Julia's face darkened slightly, her eyes glanced at the flowers in the corridor, and continued to ask"I just came to my senses, and my majesty blames myself for this!I have ordered to bury Longka according to the specifications of the Praetorian Guard" The attendant sighed and said, "The palace has blocked this news, but I don't know how long it can be blocked, poor Longka's family is such a child" The attendant shook his head. The Longka family is a marquis family in Kyoto, and several generations have been born and died for the empire, so that the people withered, and this Longka was only 22 years old before he was able to become the deputy captain of the Imperial Guard, which shows that the emperor values the Longka family, but it's a pity that ......"

"Do your best, though not on the battlefield. But it's also loyal to the Empire," Algernon Julia fell silent

His Majesty the Emperor is very calm and wise on weekdays, and is kind to him, but it seems that God does not want such a person to become the king of a great empire, and he was poisoned once when he was a child, and he was finally saved, but he left behind a very strange mental illness, often waking up in his dreams, angry, and easily losing his mind! This disease has been much better under years of conditioning, but just mention Juliel Strissa, who once made the emperor love unforgettable. The emperor's illness will fluctuate, and as a last resort, the Algernon family, known as the spokesperson of the royal family, stepped forward to force the Julils family to leave the imperial Kyoto, although the two families once had a friendship of nearly a hundred years, the Algernon family finally silently implemented this plan, but then things began to get out of control,

The strong rise of the Northwest, the betrayal of the Julils family.

The young emperor, who had lost a third of the empire's land in just one year, fell into a kind of strict self-blame in his heart, for this man who was bent on surpassing his predecessors. The desperate but hopeless young patient, the Falcon Empire from the Northwest, shattered his seemingly strong surface like a ferocious nightmare.

The death of 300,000 imperial troops, the complete defeat of the eastern and western battlefields, and the mighty empire suddenly turned sharply from the peak of its power. Even the grandest celebration could not hide the pale powerlessness of this prosperous age, and the private muttering of those ministers seemed to echo in his ears, "What an incompetent person!" "Yes, who said it wasn't, he sacrificed 300,000 elites of the empire, or lost the western part of the empire!" "The hundred-year-old foundation of the empire was lost in such a year, it is really unfortunate for the descendants to lose it!"

These sounds are like in the wind, in the rain, in the corner of the quiet and uninhabited hall, since the cruel winter came, the emperor's condition has become more and more severe, often hear the sound of the cold wind blowing through the glass, it is considered to be some kind of private discussion of their own voice, the angry young emperor will often personally hold a long sword and push the door open to see who is talking outside, most of the situation, it is empty, but once or twice you can also see the guards and slaves in the palace, the emperor will kill these people mercilessly, looking at the corpses lying in a pool of blood, the emperor's heart seems to be able to calm down"If the emperor asks, just say I've been here! It's nothing, it's safe!" Algernon Julia raised her head, smiled slightly, her expression was calm, and the petition in her hand was tightly clenched by her, "What a group of ignorant people, at this time when the empire is in turmoil, they don't seek to contribute to the empire, but drag the empire back, if the empire's front line loses, and the falcon empire army enters the hinterland, these guys who only know how to covet pleasure are afraid that they won't even have a good life now!"

Algernon Julia, the court affairs officer who got the petition in her hand, walked down the marble steps of the palace in a slim white floor-length dress, her hair was curled, and she was as cold as ever, but her cold face was like a layer of frost, "The wind and rain of the empire can't continue to blow, otherwise, the emperor's spirit will completely collapse!"

Five days later, the Teagarh fleet docked in the Southwestern Zone, and the Fat Man switched from sea to land,

Riding northward, advancing towards the Rasti region on the boundless hills of the southwest, Besukaya was dressed in white and makeup, and gently shook the golden tasseled whip in his hand, riding side by side with the fat man, followed by two hundred accompanying Guards cavalry, the horse's hooves leaped, rolled up Cheng Dù that rose into the sky, and the earth turned into a swift light and shadow,

It is early spring, the tender green all over the mountains is dotted with a little bit of tender yellow, which is an unknown small flower in the southwest area, because its color is similar to golden yellow, and the flowers are also a little like hyacinths, so the locals call it small hyacinths, and now it is the most prosperous time for small hyacinths,

As far as the eye can see, the whole land is this dotted gold, and in this little bit of gold, you can see the outline of many villages looming, the southwest is a densely populated, urban area, after the empire control, a large number of caravans poured in, and the immigrants from the northwest region and the empire itself made the southwest region more lush

"I've never seen anything more beautiful than here!" Besukaya, who had never seen such a scene from the cold Northland, exclaimed,

"It's beautiful, but it's still a little bit worse than Rasti. Do you know that Rasti means "the water country of the gods" in Gaul, and you can imagine what a beautiful sight it was" Hearing the emotion of his disciple, the fat man seemed to be in a good mood, and let out a chuckle from his mouth, and the horse's hooves flew over the hillside in front of him,

"God's Water Country!" Besukaya heard her eyes shining on horseback, and followed,

Two days later, the fat man entered the Rasti area, and the rain had just stopped. The sight shook Besukaya again

In the rising sun, the continuous water in front of it shimmered like a string of pearls in the sun, disturbed by the horse's hooves, a flock of white waterfowl flapped their wings and flew into the sky, under the golden light, the earth stretched endlessly to the horizon,

Verdant fields, dense forests, and meandering clear rivers. The flock of birds flying up and down on the green grass is so peaceful and beautiful.

The clouds in the sky are as white as snowflakes, as detailed as a dream made of cotton silk, and the blue sky. There is no trace of turbidity and pollution. Towering ancient trees, from time to time there are springs gushing out from the ground, forming a series of clear pools, and the plants hanging low into the pools are weak and moist. It is in contrast to the unknown giant tree that stands like a sentinel.

"This is Rasti! the battlefield where the Empire is about to start a fierce battle!"

Besukaya was shocked, and when he looked at the beautiful land in front of him, he felt a stirring in his heart. She finally knew why the teacher was so concerned about this rainstorm season that came to Rustie, the torrential rain blurred the boundaries of the earth, and even in some river sections, forming a ferocious impact, sweeping a qiē block, and this was undoubtedly what the teacher was waiting for, as for what, Besukaya couldn't guess yet, but she knew that in the mind of the teacher, who was known as the imperial god of war, there must be an extremely terrible plan,

In the Doge's Palace, the generals of the empire are converging, the conference hall is full of people, the hall is brightly lit, a 10-meter-long brown and red lacquered long table is shining like a flame in front of the bright light everywhere, shining on the faces of the generals sitting on both sides of the long table, like lighting the horn of war, everyone is discussing with each other, the military meeting convened by His Majesty Falcon himself made all the generals who received the order feel uplifted, after waiting for a winter, the generals are already ready to move, His Majesty Falcon finally decided to make a move, everyone is waiting and seeing,

What will His Majesty the Falcon do? This was the focus of the generals' discussions.

A group of generals gathered around the huge map on the table, expressing their opinions to each other, most of these generals were Salton's Confederate Army generals, and there were also a number of famous generals.

The famous general Norther Anvik pointed to the map and said, " In the Rasti region, we and the Gallic Imperial Army are staggered and defended, it is already a stalemate of the deadlock, whoever strikes first will undoubtedly put themselves at a disadvantage, the Gallic side has superior forces, a strong defensive area, but lacks the spirit of being a warrior and the heart of victory, our army has elite soldiers and high morale, but it lacks a breakthrough enough to break the situation, with 200,000 Falcon Army forcibly attacking the 400,000 Gallic army that formed a defensive line based on more than ten cities, even if the Falcon Majesty has always been brave, in the heart may not be sure of victory, to be honest, if it were me, I would not choose to attack"Have you ever seen a falcon that takes the defensive?" A young general smiled disdainfully at this point of view, and the other generals also looked the same, Vekia Falcon will defend? What are you kidding! The offense is like a swift wind and unstoppable, that is the style of the Vecchia Falcon!"So I can't become a falcon!" Norther Anvik shrugged his shoulders with a smile, saying that he didn't retreat, seeing that he couldn't help it, and the other great generals didn't have any meaningful construction, it was really that this battle situation was deadlocked, and whoever struck first would lose the initiative!

"Bang" The heavy door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and a fat man in black clothes walked in from outside the door.

"陛xià"

All the generals immediately stood up straight and looked with burning gaze at the generation of war gods who had destroyed their country, but had completely conquered them in spirit,

The 50,000 troops of the Second Army of the South have been ordered to assemble, and they can become the sharp spears of the imperial god of war at any time, and the momentum of being ready to attack and the momentum of victory are all reflected in the general's excited face, although the Second Army of the South has been formed for 2 years, it is the first time that it has really been commanded by Vecchia Falcon himself

This shows that the Imperial God of War has decided to allow the elite of the Roude military to truly enter the power structure of the Empire

Where will the first blow of the Falcon of Vikia fall? This biggest mystery is turning in everyone's minds, even the first general of Virtue, the Grace Remnant Lion who once let the fat man play around, is also very curious, he has carefully analyzed and studied a series of glorious battles of the Vecchia Falcon, hoping to find the trajectory of the Imperial God of War's use of troops, but unfortunately, the closer you get to the thoughts of the God of War in every battle, Salton will find that the thoughts of this God of War are always in places that others can never imagine, if you have to find a rule, it is unpredictable

"Sorry to keep you waiting"

The Vekia Falcon, who was in the center of everyone's focus, went straight to the main seat of the long table with a sense of slaughter, and nodded slightly to the generals standing on both sides.

"Everyone sit down" The fat man waved his hand to everyone calmly, "You are all virtuous elites, I won't say much nonsense, this time I will gather you for just one, that is, to completely defeat the Gauls on the opposite side!" ""I know you are curious, but unfortunately, there is no word defense in my dictionary, so this time, we are still attacking!" The fat man's eyes swept over everyone, his voice paused, as if he could see through everyone's thoughts, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly (to be continued......)
