"Okay, I see, it was the expected few days!

The corner of the fat man's mouth waved his hand to the reported guard, his eyes looked at the sparkling sea in the distance, turned around, and smiled domineeringly, "It seems that Gangfei is still a little bloody, and finally decided to take the initiative to break this embarrassing wall, otherwise it will be in vain for me to rush back to Putao"

"Did His Majesty already know in advance when the Gangfei army would go south?" A trace of horror flashed on Varisian's face, as the military commander of the empire stationed in the Putao region, he was staring at the movements of the Gangfei army in the north all the time, and he couldn't judge the time when the Gangfei army was going south, how did His Majesty know?

"I don't know in advance, I just guess casually, it's 60,000 troops"

The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched, his hand held the side of the ship, he withdrew his gaze from the sea in the distance, and said in a condensed voice: "We have superior forces but are lingering in the northern region, and we don't even dare to touch our side, now that the central and northern regions have been robbed, the Gangfei army has no reason to continue to wander in the north, if the other party's commander still blindly avoids the war, I am afraid that Gangfei himself will feel that his general is a cunning that bullies the weak and fears the hard, and the morale of the army will be severely damaged by irreparation! "I see...... "I see" Varisian felt a chill down his spine when he heard this, and he secretly felt sad in his heart, even the time of going south was judged so accurately by His Majesty, it is estimated that these 60,000 Gang Fei troops will be swallowed by His Majesty even the bones, but he doesn't know how to swallow it yet,

"Your Majesty, just now, the non-army is going south, are we going to attack or ......?"

Varisian cautiously explained the current situation, the strength of the entire Putao area, at present, there are only 10,000 regular troops and the local army that has just been recruited, and the local army has just completed training. And the weapons are insufficient, the 10,000 regular army is prepared, but in the face of the 60,000 regular army armed to the teeth with high morale, the defense is more than enough, and the attack is insufficient, and the sailors of the fleet gathered in Lisbento are a combat force that cannot be ignored, but except for the Dyrens family and the Huren clan in front of them, they are the establishment of the imperial navy, and they can be asked to participate in the war with military orders, and the other forces in the empire are afraid that they are not so willing to contribute, "Don't worry, it won't take long." They'll cry and cry out for you!"

After listening to this, the fat man raised the corners of his eyebrows, as if he remembered something interesting, and patted Valisian's shoulder with his hand with bright eyes, "Just remember one thing, no matter how the other party pleads, the basic principles cannot be lost, if something goes wrong, I will ask you!" "Yes!"

Varisian nodded hurriedly, though he didn't dare to doubt the words of His Majesty Falcon. But he still doubted the attitude of the forces of all sides, those bastards would not be so proactive, who would do anything that was not beneficial? Everyone is here to make a fortune, not to fight the enemy. If such a scattered army is forcibly pushed onto the battlefield, the forces of all sides will think of it as a snake, which will only make the command more confused.

Then. He heard the voice of His Majesty the Falcon and continued, "Just order the troops to strengthen the defense, because this distance of 50 miles, the army will walk very carefully. You won't be near Lisbonto without two or three days!"

"Fifty miles for two or three days?" Varisian was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misheard,

The fat man said, "There is nothing surprising, in the last war, the Congolese army used to hit the head under the city of Lisbonto, if you are the commander of the Congolese army, before you are sufficiently prepared, will you approach Lisbonto, which has a strong defense?"

"No," Varisien shook his head and said, "And in order to guard against the rear of the Imperial Navy's surprise attack from the coast, I must also leave a part of my troops to set up a guard in the rear, so that it would be very good to have 40,000 troops to reach Lisbonto the day after tomorrow!" "You're right, the defensive force is enough, and these two days are enough for us to turn around!" The fat man looked at the two people in front of him who were listening with their ears pricked up, and suddenly revealed a murderous feeling, and ordered" Dylan Scarry, Huren Sisu!"

"Yes!" the two were startled and quickly replied

"As the Emperor, I order the two clans to gather all their fleets and forces this afternoon, line up along the sea outside the port of Lisbonto, and put on the posture that they have been ordered to attack the northern part of Putao!"

"This afternoon?"

Hearing this time, Dylan Skashi, who had already pricked up his ears, and Hu Lunsisu, who was in ecstasy, couldn't help but secretly wonder, what is this going to do? Is this to let the two navies participate in the war? Since it is an assault on the north, the more secretive it is, the better, and His Majesty is not afraid to alarm the Gangfei army heading south in advance with such fanfare? Moreover, if he suddenly orders the fleet into battle, the soldiers below will also have some opinions!

The fat man's eyes swept over the confused faces of the two, knowing what the two were thinking, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said slowly

"Don't worry, I don't mean to let you go to war yet, because there will be news this afternoon, the Imperial Admiralty was supposed to announce the list of qualifications for the Empire's entry into the Inland Sea in the afternoon, in order to avoid confusion when entering the Inland Sea, the Imperial Admiralty is ready to divide into three batches, a total of 2 months to let the Imperial fleet enter the Inland Sea! Although the inland sea has vast resources, but the first entry and the second entry determine the initiative that can be occupied in the inland sea area, and the gap is huge, you two should be very clear, so the domestic forces are staring at it, everyone is waiting to open the inland sea, it's a pity!"

The fat man sighed slightly, and slapped his hand on the armrest of the ship, "The army is heading south, Lisbonto is in danger, out of strategic considerations, the Imperial Admiralty can only put on hold the time to enter the inland sea indefinitely!" "What! put it on hold indefinitely!" Dürren Skasi and Hulensisu subconsciously glanced at each other, and their voices trembled slightly, "Your Majesty, this is not a joke!" "No way, the empire must first solve the military threat! Before it can consider the issue of developing the inland sea, I believe everyone can understand!" The fat man said with a calm face, the news is like this anyway, of course, it is not without workarounds, such as Gangfei people have been defeated, for example, Lisbonto is not in danger, or the northern part of Putao has been fully recovered, anyway, at least let the Putao area be stabilized. "His Majesty means that only the Gangfei people withdrew their troops from the Putao region. Will the Empire open the Inland Sea?"

Dylan Skasi and Huren Sisu both had strange faces, thousands of ships, nearly 100,000 sailors gathered in Putao, just to enter the Inland Sea, if the Admiralty really came out with such news, the fleet gathered in Lisbento would not immediately fry the pot, for those imperial forces who spent huge manpower and financial resources to arrange for this entry into the Inland Sea, this news would definitely be a disaster

Among other things, the mobilization of so many sailors and ships to hold here is in itself to sit back and watch the loss of great wealth. But the Empire cannot be blamed for this decision, and it would be a joke if the Empire lost Lisbonto, lost the Putau coast, and also high-profile agitation of domestic forces to enter the inland sea. "It can be said that the new standard for entering the Inland Sea will be changed because of this battle! The empire is not completely unkind!" The fat man glanced at the two people with a dull face, his eyes swept to the sea and sky in the distance, and said slowly, "The empire will quickly come to reward them with military merits, and this time it is no exception, I don't care what means they use." Raid, assist in the defense, or go north to counterattack, anyway, kill the forces of the 1,000-man army of Gangfei. You can get the qualification to enter the inland sea, and those who kill 3,000 people can be used as the first batch to enter the inland sea.

The fat man's voice paused. His gaze became deeper, "Entering the Inland Sea and opening up trade is not a smooth and smooth road, and there are imperial fleets and enemies in the Inland Sea. If you don't have enough strength, the small forces that don't have the ability to enter will also be swallowed by other forces, but it is better to set up an artificial dividing line here, either have a self-aware choice to evacuate, or unite with other forces to form a new alliance, the Imperial Admiralty only recognizes the final result, and if you want to seize the commanding heights to enter the inland sea, you will show your own ability! This is the Empire's screening of them!"

"What if you kill more than 5,000 people?"

Hearing such conditions, Dylan Skasy and Hu Lun Sisu were both smart people, and they asked out loud almost at the same time, whether to kill a thousand people or kill three thousand people, it is really not difficult at all for the total strength of more than 20,000 people of the two clans, but with the advance knowledge of this standard, both of them were touched in their hearts,

"If you kill five thousand people, I can grant them permission to enter the Inland Sea in advance!" The fat man's voice paused, he glanced at the two of them, and smiled, yes, he wants this sentence, he can't afford to fight, he doesn't set two eye-catching examples, and why encourage these guys to play with Gangfeiren

The Imperial Navy opened the Inland Sea, and it also paid several expensive Dragon-class capital warships and more than ten Dragon's Tooth warships, tens of millions of funds, the mobilization of the two imperial fleets, and the fierce battle of tens of thousands of sailors, the outside world only saw the strength of the Imperial Navy, and saw the Imperial Navy sweeping the Inland Sea Overlord Strand's Navy on the southern coast of Gangfei, but did not see that a quarter of the Imperial Navy's strength was damaged in the southern sea of Gangfei

At such a cost, the empire certainly needed more than just a coastal foothold,

At the same time, it also proves the previous judgment that it is impossible to control the entire inland sea with the current strength of the Imperial Navy alone, and it is an inevitable trend to let the domestic forces expand and spread, and it is the fat man's own consideration to let the powerful forces enter the inland sea as the first batch.

Because of the strongest strength, these forces that enter first will inevitably gain a firm foothold in the Inland Sea closest to the Empire-controlled area, and then take the coastal foothold, and the various forces will expand into the hinterland of the Inland Sea layer by layer according to their respective capabilities, and finally form a force advancement layer centered on the Empire-controlled area.

As these layers of advancement grow, the greater the tentacles of the Empire, and eventually the Inland Sea will truly become the Empire's Inland Sea, which is the terrifying core of the Empire's Inland Sea strategy.

And this time the military power of the two clans is undoubtedly the strongest, what the two clans are seeking is not the problem of entering the inland sea, but the ambition to enter the inland sea earlier than other forces, for the two clans who have not been so passionate for a long time, entering the inland sea Jedi is an excellent opportunity for the two clans to sublimate from regional power to imperial power, let it enter the inland sea first, which is equivalent to a powerful complement to the imperial navy,

And it is not wise to force these other forces to fight head-on, after all, except for the two ethnic groups, the others are not regular armies, and they are reluctant to be easily delayed, but it is really no problem to let them go north into the north of Putao to fight the Gangnon-left troops.

The Gangfei army is marching southward, and the number of troops stranded in the northern part of Putao will not exceed 20,000, and the northern part of Putao has long been a mess under the sack of the Gangfei army, the resistive fortresses have been burned, and most of the cities are destroyed. As for the consideration of combat strength, many of the sailors of these forces were soldiers from various forces in the Ikadivar Unification War, and they had seen blood and killed people! There were even some professional soldiers with good combat strength, and if these people poured into the northern part of the country, the scattered and remaining troops would be in danger of defending at all.

The sun was not hot on the spring afternoon in April, and at the gate of the port, many people had gathered looking at the notice just issued by the Admiralty on the wall.

At one end of the harbor, a fleet of hundreds of ships was gathered. The flags of the Huren and Dyrens were hung on the masts, the sides of the battleship were undulating in the waves, and the sailors on it were quickly pulling up the sails that hung like a huge white waterfall, if the previous orders were just for show, the Dyrens fleet and the Huren fleet were already really preparing for the battle, and the formed infantry was walking on the battleship,

"How so!"

"Indefinite shelving ......"

"And what do we do?" There were constant desperate voices from the crowd of onlookers, from powerful businessmen to small businessmen who wanted a piece of the pie with just a boat. The Empire's order to suspend the opening of the Inland Sea touched everyone indiscriminately,

Such notices were plastered all over the streets of Lisbonto, and the whole port was fried, and the news of the approach of the non-military army to Lisbento came out in the morning. The forces that were gathering in Lisbonto were still discussing how to deal with the war requisition order that might come from the Empire, and in the afternoon the Admiralty conveyed such a notice, and everyone was stupid for a moment, and at first everyone did not feel anything about the fact that the army was going south. Anyway, there was an imperial army in front of them, and everyone was just afraid of being temporarily recruited, so they received a request from the Lisbonto military in the morning to report it. One by one, they have found all kinds of reasons, what is sick, what is not used to eating, water and soil, vomiting and diarrhea, unable to walk, and some people say that they accidentally flashed their waists during the merry last night, who knows that it is only in the afternoon, everyone is still hesitating whether it is too much, and a notice will beat everyone stupid,

It is reasonable for the African army to approach Lisbento and suspend the opening of the inland sea, but nearly 80,000 sailors and thousands of ships are already ready to go, and now that the Imperial Admiralty has suddenly interrupted its access to the inland sea, even the forces of all parties, which have trembled in front of the imperial war knife for several years, cannot continue to endure this time

"We must have an explanation!" said one of the leaders of the Ruirdian Chamber of Commerce angrily

"Yes, go and ask the Admiralty, they don't have the right to do this!" was able to say this to a wealthy merchant of the business alliance, and others immediately agreed, and some people thought that this was revenge from the military, so they pointed the finger at Varisien, who was in charge of the Putau region,

"The situation looks a little out of control!"

Standing on the windowsill of a villa, Sidneyso, who had just been promoted to one of the twelve deacons of the business alliance, and was in charge of the inland sea trade line, put down the curtains in his hand, only from the poster post, there were already more than a dozen waves of people looking for him, and the business alliance could not continue to sit idly by, the blow was too big, and it was almost a catastrophe.

Now only the business alliance came forward, or there was some room for manoeuvre, he and a dozen big merchants rushed to the base camp of the Imperial Army in Lisbonto in a hurry, where they did not see Varisien, but from the adjutant they got the news that Varisien had gone to the city wall to inspect it, Sidneyso did not dare to delay, and immediately rushed to the city wall, fifty meters away from the city wall, the carriage was stopped by the sentry with a stern expression, "Military important place, except for the carriage transporting materials, no other people are allowed to enter" There was no way, Sidneyso got out of the carriage, and the group walked towards the city wall.

The battle was imminent, the army began to converge on Lisbonto, along the way you could see carts of crossbow arrows being transported in the direction of the city wall, under the city wall, the makeshift blacksmith shops lined up, ding ding dong day and night rush to work, "Hurry, hurry!" The infantry captain reprimanded the recruits, a group of soldiers with weapons walked past him, iron boots stepped on the ground, the armor on his body collided together to make a nervous noise, and the smell of cooked cowhide binding the armor filled the air,

"It looks really grim!"

"Yes, you see it's all crossbows wound," someone in the back whispered, sounding a little regretful, and at the entrance to the passage leading to the city walls, Sidneysor and his party were stopped by an officer, "Who are you?"

Sidneyso stood up from among the dozen people, and his tone was a little impatient, "I'm Sidneyso, the deacon of the Business Alliance, we have an urgent matter to see Lord Varisian?" "Deacon of the Business Alliance?" The officer looked him up and down, his eyes stopped on the sign of the Business Alliance on his chest, seemed to feel credible, and looked at the other dozen or so people, so he replied to him seriously, "Lord Varisian is in the war room on the city wall, go up and go about thirty meters to the left!"

Hearing the specific location of Valisian, Sidneysor's dozen people immediately let go up the city road, and just a few steps up, they heard the officer's voice behind him, "If you don't have any urgent business, it's better not to go over!" "Your Majesty is there discussing the battle plan with your lords!" "Your Majesty?" Sidneyso stopped unexpectedly when he heard this, turned around, and the others also stopped, "Is there a lot of Majesties in the Empire?" The officer below snorted in a very unkind tone

"You mean the Falcon in Lisbonto!" Sidneyso shuddered, his feet were heavy as if they were filled with iron,

"Yes, I'll just say, how can just one Varisian have the courage to offend so many forces, but if it's the Falcon Majesty, it's different, if you want to go to the Falcon Majesty to ask for an explanation, isn't this looking for death" Someone in the dozen or so people complained

Sidneyso felt that he was looking for death, and when he hesitated, he saw that on the city wall above, the head of the garrison, Varisian, was walking with a text in his hand, and the two knew each other, Sidneyso shouted, "Lord Valisian, I am Sidneyso!" "Sidneyso!" Varisian stopped, and when he saw him, he immediately quickened his pace and walked over, "How did Your Excellency Sidneysor come here, it's very dangerous here, and a fierce battle could break out at any time!"

"Have you read that notice from the Admiralty?" Sidneyso smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and after knowing that it was His Majesty the Falcon in charge, the aggressiveness that he wanted to ask just now had already flown away

"Yes, to be honest, I can't help it!" Varisian said with a look of shame, "Although I also think that the Admiralty's move is too inappropriate, but this is the meaning of His Majesty, and the Imperial Admiralty and our Army are not the same system, I really can't do anything!"

"Please save us!" a dozen people behind Sidneyso knelt down,

"Shhhh

"Now only the adults can save us! The adults are the beloved generals of His Majesty, and they are also the important ministers of the empire who sit in Putao, if the adults are willing to come forward...... more than a dozen people wailed

"If the Lord is willing to intercede, my Business Alliance will definitely remember the friendship of the Lord, and all the families involved in this matter will repay their gratitude to the Lord!" Sidneyso gritted his teeth and said

"This ......" Varisien showed a difficult expression, looked hesitant, his eyes stopped on Sidneyso and a dozen big merchants, and it seemed that he had made some kind of determination, okay, I'll try my best, Your Majesty is on it, I'll try my best to say, I don't know if I can succeed!"

"It's hard work!"

Hearing that Varisian was willing to take risks, more than a dozen people, including Sidneyso, were all moved, and they were already saying in their hearts that Varision was a good person! Under the eager gaze of everyone, Varisian slowly walked up to the city wall with heavy steps, and his face was like ashes.

As soon as he got out of everyone's sight, he immediately walked like a fly, and his face was full of ruddy and pushed open the door of a lookout on the city wall.

Closing the door, the corners of Varisien's mouth let out an unbearable laugh, "Haha, it's really here, this time I see that you still haven't taken the bait, now even if you throw away this harsh condition of killing a thousand non-soldiers to enter the inland sea, the other side will be grateful to Dade" (to be continued......)
