1661 Grid (VI)
More than a dozen manor lords looked resolute, the faces of the guards were hideous, and the hands of the two captains of the guards on duty had already very cooperatively grasped the handle of the war knife at their waists, like a fierce beast about to devour people, and the air was solemn as if it was about to drip water,
"Have you all figured it out?"
The fat man raised the wine glass with a gloomy face, and took a sip of the wine in his hand again, a trace of red flowed from the corners of his mouth like blood, and the faces of more than a dozen manor owners turned pale in unison, and the killing intent contained in this sentence was so obvious
"If you want to kill, you can kill, don't say more!" As if he felt too much pressure and was afraid that others would waver, an old man dressed in aristocratic clothes suddenly stood up from among a dozen people, staring at the fat man with angry eyes, gritting his teeth and saying, "If you want to kill, kill it, we are not those wall grasses who see the wind fall, our people and hearts belong to the noble emperor His Majesty, for you, the tyrant who ordered the burning of wheat fields, we ......" "Sure enough, there are still such people!" The fat man rolled his eyes, waved his hand impatiently at the old man, and said a sentence "It's you" "What are you going to do!" The other dozen people panicked, "Teacher, you devils let go of the teacher!"
More than a dozen guards on both sides rushed forward like wolves, and from the miserable gaze of more than a dozen other people, the old man was grabbed by the guards, and the whole person was dragged out, the old man was covered in mud but had a resolute face, puffed out his bulb-like eyes, and looked at the fat man without fear, "Name?" or do you not even have the courage to say your name?" The fat man glanced at the old man who was half-lying on the ground, with a chilling smile on the corner of his mouth, but if you are familiar with his bad character, you know that the feeling of this smile is like an unconscious emotion when you see your prey take the bait, "Angelet Tusa!"
The old man's voice trembled a little, and he seemed to be a little scared, he didn't know how "despicable and dangerous" the fat man was, and he held his head high and said through gritted teeth. At the end, he added a sentence "I am a viscount of the Gallic Empire, so you should not have any illusions" "No wonder, I said!" The fat man pouted in surprise, in the list of important people collected from the Rasti region, there was really an old guy's name, he was not a soldier, but he was one of the most famous agricultural technicians in the entire Gallic Empire, it was said that this great farmer was conducting research on wheat improvement, of course, the fat man did not think that in this era of extreme scarcity of technology. How much will the so-called agricultural reform change, but this old guy is indeed one of the few people who concentrates on agricultural research in this era.
It is said that he once set up an agricultural research institute with the Gallic Emperor, and this obviously untimely mention was not only rejected by the Gallic Emperor, but even became the laughing stock of the nobles at the banquet of the time, according to the original words of the Gallic nobles, "Wheat is such a thing, except for being used to make baked bread that can be enjoyed by the untouchables." Instead of spending the Empire's funds on feeding more untouchables, why not forge more weapons to open up territory for His Majesty the Emperor?" You, Angelet Tusa, are the head of agricultural production in the Rasti region, and you are mainly responsible for the complete restoration of the destroyed farmland in the Rasti region, and the manpower and materials you need. I'll send it to you later," the fat man looked at the old man, and to everyone's surprise, he said slowly, "What do you mean!" Angelet Tusa, who was already waiting for the beheading sentence, was completely stunned, almost thinking that he was having auditory hallucinations. But the other people were just as surprised by the faces, and it was all true!"No, it can't be!"
After standing there for a few seconds, Angeletusa blushed and shouted with anger on his face, as if he had suffered some great insult, "I repeat once again, I, Angeletusa, will not serve such a cruel fellow as you, and if you appoint me as the head of agricultural production, I will make all the land overgrown with grass!"
"Whatever you want! If it's really overgrown, I'll use it as a horse farm."
The corners of the fat man's mouth turned up slightly, and he stood up from his seat very shamelessly, looked at Angelettusa with a stunned face, and said coldly, "Anyway, it's the Rusties who starve to death! You have also seen the situation outside, in fact, for me, how much does the life or death of the Rusties have to do with me? Or, do you think that a tyrant still has the so-called mercy" "I will give you a kind of agricultural product called potatoes, theoretically, it is suitable for agricultural products in low cold areas like Rusty, but I need an experienced person to supervise it" The fat man looked at Angelettusa, who had some blue lips, tilted his head, and said unhurriedly, "I will give you three months to restore agricultural production in the Fùrasti region, and after three months it will be a cold winter, when the fields will be full of potatoes to allow more people to live, or whether the corpses of hungry people will be full of wild grass to make the weeds stronger, this is completely your Angelet Tusa!"
"You, shameless!" Angelettusa's whole body trembled, his face turned pale, he looked at the fat man's eyes as if he wanted to drink the fat man's blood, but everyone could see how helpless he was, "The fat man smiled, and ordered the guards to drive out Angelettusa's group, the fat man tidied up his collar, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to be a loyal minister?
"Meet the Supreme Falcon Majesty!"
The leader was an old man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin like an old peasant, a wide nose and thick lips, which looked very thick. Wearing a black dress, exuding a gloomy aura, more than a dozen people followed him, kneeling neatly in front of the fat man
"What's your name?"
The fat man looked at the old man at the front and asked directly, he had already seen that these guys would not have any trouble like loyalty, in fact, as the characteristics of local forces, they have always fallen with the wind, and there are really those who are not open-eyed, and they have long been eradicated in advance by the people sent by the assassins
When the fat man's gaze swept over, everyone subconsciously lowered their heads, and no one dared to look directly at the eyes of the rumored murderous Vekia Falcon, which was completely an instinctive reaction, just like the rabbit bowing his head in front of the tiger "A snort of this young man should be enough to make us go up in smoke" The old man lying in front flashed such a thought in his mind, and felt a chill in his back, he had been mixed in the underworld for fifty years, and it had been a long time since he had felt completely suppressed.
As the head of the dark forces, of course, they have also killed people, and some of them are even very cruel, but compared with the young man in front of him who looks a little honest and has eyes as sharp as stars, it is not a grade at all, and it is rumored that the Falcon of Vikia has killed at least one million people, and the demon army under his command is 500,000, invincible.
It doesn't matter if the rumors are reliable or not, the same is the western part of the empire, and the changes in the west in the past 2 months are in the eyes, the battle of the Sona River, the Gallic Empire killed 100,000 elites, the battle of Rasti, the eighth army of Gaul suffered heavy losses, and at present, it can only keep some areas in the north, the power of the demon army. Even a behemoth like the Gallic Empire was a little overwhelmed by the full force of its military, not to mention the inconspicuous ants involved in the chaotic war
"Back to His Majesty's words. In the lowly name Joshua, he is the leader of the black eyes!, and he is also the general coordinator of the entire Rasti region," the old man said and bowed deeply, but the fat man did not notice that he had a submissive expression, and he was indeed worthy of being the general coordinator of a region. "I'm Wallette of the Dark Dragon Society," the stout middle-aged man like a bear said respectfully, and the person who was qualified to speak was not ordinary. Wallett's Dark Dragon Society is mainly engaged in smuggling, and has close ties with the northwest coast in commerce, "Gulan of the Bloody Hand Group!" The voice was as crisp as a yellow warbler, and this time the answer was a beautiful girl in a white lace dress, no more than a teenager, with smooth blonde hair draped over her shoulders, her complexion was like snow, and her eyes were like sapphires without impurities, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, few people would associate this seemingly harmless girl with the Bloody Hand Group, which was famous for killing people, "Another female killer!"
The fat man sighed slightly in his heart, and his mind involuntarily flashed the stunning thin sand flowers, from the dark stab to the cloud of Dorok, and then to the bloody hand group, it seems that all the leaders of the killer organization are women, which may also be a law in troubled times, in an industry like killers, women, especially the kind of beautiful beauties who are alluring to the country and the city, undoubtedly have an innate advantage over men, "Zhivakar of Moris!" The cold tone came from a handsome young man, but his eye was only on the left eye, and the position of the right eye was an ugly knife mark, and the other dozen or so leaders with different appearances were also introduced, and when everyone was finished, the fat man raised his hand and waved his hand to the hands of the dozen or so regional forces below, "Sit down, as a friend of the empire, your help should be duly rewarded!" "Don't dare, I am already very satisfied to be able to get the protection of His Majesty!" "You don't have to be nervous, I will never be stingy with my friends, and if you deserve it!" the fat man smiled calmly, but everyone's breath was held for a moment, "100,000 gold coins, 100,000 gold coins per organization, even if it is a return gift for this help" The fat man lightly raised a finger, and the eyes of the leaders of more than a dozen forces almost burst out
"The empire never treats its friends badly!As long as you are diligent, there will be more benefits!" The fat man put down his fingers, and his sharp gaze swept over the nearly stunned dozen people, knowing that these guys were completely stunned by their own money, "Don't you know, should we celebrate?"
The fat man raised the wine glass in his hand, opened his mouth and drained the red liquor inside, "Long live!
The others reacted at this time, and hurriedly raised the wine in their hands with a happy face, and then dried it up, the atmosphere suddenly became warm, no one expected to get such a big benefit, even Joshua, who was the general coordinator of the region, was breathing a lot heavier at the moment, it was really unexpected, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart, "What a big stroke, this time there are sixteen families, a family of 100,000 gold coins, that is 1.6 million gold coins, and a shot is millions of gold coins, is this a king-level measurement!"
After the banquet for the heads of local forces, it was already afternoon
The fat man walked into his room with a little drunkenness, very simple layout, a fairly elegant aristocratic bed, a long table, the window is facing the street outside, under normal circumstances, the fat man does not have high requirements for his residence, but requires that the scenery of the window must be good. Pushing open the window, a cool wind blew in, the fat man loosened the button on his neckline, and looked at the undulating and winding mountains in the distance, a small black dot was hovering on it, and on the flat under the mountains, it was a scorched black land, like a huge earth scar,
"Duh... Toot, toot, toot..."
A proud cricket kept barking in the darkness outside the room, not taking the fat man, the current "tyrant" who held the power of life and death of thousands of people, in the slightest. If he provoked with a twist of grass, the fat man thought that he would definitely open his teeth like pincers and fight bravely.
This little thing has been tossing since the afternoon, not understanding himself at all, the fat man got up from the bed with some complaints, and he had something in his mind,
The streets of the city can already be seen with some wandering hungry people, most of whom are residents of the city, and the rout of the Eighth Army, many of the baggage of the guide zhì have fallen into the hands of the Falcon Army. Among them, there is grain collected from grain stores in various places, although the quantity is not large, but it can also temporarily emergency more grain. It's coming from the Northwest Territories, and some of it is from Ikadiva.
The fat man has ordered the armies to be put on guard in the defense area of Rasdi, against the hungry people everywhere. In principle, they were driven to the area controlled by the Sixth Army of Gaul, with a total of about 300,000 men, believed to be in the area of the Sixth Army of Gaul. The number of displaced people is even greater,
Thinking of the long dragon of displaced people he saw along the way, the fat man's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, not because he was cruel, but because of the weight of this war, which had pressed the centennial national fortunes of the two empires, a moment of benevolence, and in the end, it might be a hundred years of national fortunes that would stagnate
Although the current situation of the Gallic Empire is unfavorable, but a super empire that rules tens of millions of people and dominates the northern part of Obaro for more than 300 years, once it is really forced to the end of the mountains and rivers, trapped beasts and fight to the death, the counterattack that broke out is also quite amazing, just like the original Rui Erdian and Roude, at the last moment, it is almost completely crazy to expand the military power, according to the proportion of nearly 40 million people in the hinterland of Gaul, if the whole country is mobilized, it is not a problem to pull out an army of one million people,
And the unique location of the Rasti region is undoubtedly the last valve to block the Falcon Empire from entering the hinterland of Gaul.
Beyond the hurdle of Rasti, and then beyond, there are the five provinces in the hinterland of Gaul, these hinterland provinces are the core of the Gallic Empire, once the falconry army crosses Rasti, the provinces of the hinterland of Gaul will be fully exposed, in order to keep this last valve, the Gauls are likely to choose, all the last armies will gather in Rasti to fight, even if they can win this battle of hegemony, at most it will be a tragic result of victory and defeat,
The Gauls will be completely declined because of this, and the newly rising Falcon Empire will not be better, there are Gauls desperately blocking in the front, and there are inhuman tigers in the back, the elite of the empire has suffered heavy losses because of this war, and the pace of the Falcon Empire's advance will completely stop in the Rasti region,
The only way to break the game is to break through Lusti with all his might, so that many provinces in the heart of Gallic are fully exposed to the forces of the Falcon army.
The power of the empire is expanding, and the other forces entrenched in the big tree of the empire are also expanding wildly, business alliances, dark thorns, these organizations with various functions, have long been the symbiosis of the empire, at least according to the fat man's understanding, the dark forces in the Rusty region have just been swept by the dark thorn, and this time the dark thorn sent a lot of people, with the more or less acquiescence of the military, it is almost a complete suppression of the Rusti region, otherwise these local forces will not be so obedient
This time, the army was able to implement the tactics of separation, so that the Gallic Eighth Army completely lost its sources, and finally without realizing it, it was defeated by its own blow, causing an unstoppable rout, and the plan for the southwestern battle painstakingly planned by the Gauls was aborted.
The help from the local dark forces is not small, otherwise the battle would never have been carried out so smoothly.
At present, the war in the Rasti area has come to a standstill, the two armies have maintained restraint very tacitly, the fat man is waiting for the arrival of the steppe cavalry, and finally gave the order to transfer the army to Crollisart, who has been lonely for a year, and the two domestic Ryerdian infantry regiments are also on the way to the front, and Soldun's second army is entering the southwest from the city of New Sea, and after joining with Duozhi, it will annihilate the Gallic Janissaries entrenched in the southwestern capital with all its might, and then go north to Rusty to join himself.
The army is gathered, and both sides are sending troops,
The Rusti region fell into a rare pre-storm tranquility, which is one of the reasons why the fat man tried his best to win over these local forces who had defected to the empire at any cost.
According to intelligence, the Gauls are gathering strength with all their might, and the military strength of the Sixth Army of Gaul has expanded from 140,000 to 210,000 in less than half a month, and reinforcements from the interior of Gaul are still flowing.
No one knows what a strong hole card the Gauls have prepared!
The Rasti region is like a huge whirlpool, attracting the decisive forces of both sides, and there is a faint tendency to become a decisive battle ground between the two empires, and whoever can win the local power in advance will undoubtedly bury his own eyes in the hinterland of the other side in advance, and in this respect, the Gauls are obviously not aware of this, (to be continued......
