In the black night, the campfire at the post crackled in the wind, and the cavalry swarm swept like a violent wind, almost effortlessly, and the officer who stopped the post was captured, along with the 24 soldiers of the entire post,

The Guards cavalry drove these soldiers, who belonged to the Garrison Flag Regiment of the Murhausk region, to concentrate on the wide flat in front of the outpost,

The light of the fire at the outpost, shining on the bodies of these soldiers, slightly curled up in the night wind,

The Guards cavalry were side by side, the chilling knives were like a wall of killing intent, these soldiers in the area who had never been on the battlefield had never seen such a posture, they were all a little frightened, one by one, they turned their backs, looked at the reflection on the knives around, and their pale faces were full of horror, "Find out the guy who wanted to check me just now?"

The fat man rode over, his eyes swept like lightning, there was a faint pressure in the air, the red general's cloak behind him hung down from his shoulders on the war horse, he clearly remembered that in the imperial military regulations that he personally approved and promulgated, the transfer of the regular army belongs to the scope of first-class military secrecy, if it is the transfer of the general, it belongs to the special level, this world is the existence of zài assassins, even if it is a brave general, it can't resist the dark arrows shot by the assassins from the shadows!

It is in this consideration that in the imperial military regulations, only large fortresses as passes are qualified to check the regular army, and a small local outpost like the one in front of him is not qualified to ask to see the regular army documents, otherwise the internal transfer of the imperial army is equivalent to being placed in front of the enemy's eyes, so the fat man will be so angry when he hears that a local outpost dares to check his own documents, this kind of blatant violation of the imperial military regulations, makes him have a sense of foreboding

After all, Molhausk was once the nest of the sworn enemies of the Stien family, as more than 200,000 Molhausk people died at the hands of the southern Samorish army because of the tragic royal war, along the way, except for the scenic lakes. Traces of villages burned in the war can still be seen, and fragments of weapons broken in the battle can be faintly seen in the deep weeds

Years of peace were able to cover up the devastation of the Murhaus War, but for the Murhausk people, the trauma was like a lake in front of the earth, which was obviously not as calm as it seemed from the outside.

Hearing His Majesty's command, several fierce guards walked over and pulled out the officer who was dodging from among the captives, after all, he was also an officer of the Empire. The guards are quite polite, otherwise they would have rushed up a long time ago, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, first whip this guy who dares to check His Majesty's documents a few times, beat him into a dead dog, and then drag him out!

"You can't do that!"

The officer at the outpost was forcibly pulled out by the guards, and the prisoners around him hurriedly dispersed a way, and the officer, seeing that he could not break free, simply shouted, "You bold fellows! I am an officer of the Murhausk Garrison Flag Regiment, you can't do this." I'm an officer of the Empire!" "Shut him up!" The outpost officer's loud voice made the corners of the fat man's mouth grin in surprise, this guy, why didn't you see it just now, he still has such a specialty! It's just on a night like this. It was more like a howl, and one of the guards pulled out a rag to wipe the stirrups and gagged the officer's mouth, making only a whining sound

"According to the Imperial Military Regulations, what is the punishment for ultra vires inspection?" the fat man played with a horsewhip in his hand. He asked the Guards Squadron Leader behind him, "The lightest punishment is fifty lashes! If it is confirmed that the other party is a spy, it will be beheaded on the spot!" The Guards Squadron Leader hesitated for a moment. replied, he replied coldly, and the frightened officer almost collapsed on the ground on the spot, "Spy? Such a stupid spies, it is estimated that it is difficult to mix with the identity of an officer!, but I am afraid that it is not a whim......" The corners of the fat man's mouth showed a trace of coldness, and he impatiently ordered the guard, "Drag it down, first whip fifty times!, and then ask him to recruit the principal behind it!" "The principal?"

The captain of the guards squadron next to him was stunned for a moment, he thought that it was just a coincidental misunderstanding, but if it was really as the Falcon Majesty said, the whole thing was a premeditated military operation, then this matter was a bit of a big deal, "Who would be bored in the middle of the night without resting, specially guarding here, and arranging a gun array, it is definitely a premeditated military operation!" Thinking of this, the captain's face turned cold, if it was really a military operation against His Majesty the Falcon, it would be a rebellion!"These fools, don't you know that you are looking for death!"

The captain of the guards squadron glared at the officer angrily, he was the guide of this northward march, and naturally he was also a northerner of Vekia, to be exact, he was a Murhaus, so he specially built a falcon to take a shortcut from Murhaus, which can save two days of time than the regular route, not all Molhausk people have an opinion on the empire, for most of the civilians who have spent the era of war, it doesn't matter who is the king or the emperor,

They are more concerned about being able to live in peace and stability, without worrying about their loved ones dying in the war, without being driven away, the cruelty of war, people who have not experienced it first-hand, can never imagine, every war, is the destruction of the region, the decay of the population, this is not just a cold and cold number, but a shocking blood, five years of unification war, the Wikijan main body of the falcon army swept across the continent, but there are also countless soldiers who died in foreign land,

North of Vecchia, Molhausk

The caravans that stayed by the lake during the day were slowly entering the thick gates of Murhausk full of history, the huge gray-white strips of stone were covered with spots of erosion of time, and on the inside of the wall, there was a main fortress located on the hill of the city line.

The night was bleak, and in the darkness of the night, the castle's massive circular vault stood like a giant towering high above the vast land below

This is the famous Molhausk in the north.

The city of Morhausk was originally founded one hundred and thirty years ago, when it was just a wetland full of lakes, occupied by exiles, criminals, and smugglers, and was the battlefield of many tug-of-wars between Vecchia and the Kujits.

After hundreds of years of development. From a trading bazaar to a trading city, Molhausk expanded outward three times in its history, and with the addition of the original inner walls, a total of four walls were built, 20 years ago, 45 years ago, and 74 years ago and 113 years ago, three of which were demolished by the occupying Falcon army at the time of the defeat of the Stien family, leaving only a symbolic inner wall. Losing the shackles of the city walls, the area of the city expanded rapidly.

At present, the whole city has more than ten square kilometers, the population of the city is 120,000 people, in the northern part of Vecchia is also considered a large city, the city has been replanned, divided into the inner city, mainly the Molhausk aristocracy, the outer city is the civilian and commercial area. The ring city was a trading post, where most of the caravans gathered, and outside the city was a barracks of 1,000 soldiers stationed in the local Murhausk banner. Mainly responsible for local security,

As the carriage stopped in front of a mansion in the inner city, a young girl in a white sand gauze skirt got out of the carriage, her gaze swept over the city wall not far away. Frowning slightly, the last resistance of the Stien family is here, a generation of northern tyrants Duke Stienne. Together with his son, fought desperately on this wall,

That war determined the ownership of the royal power, so it was destined to be an endless result, no compromise, no concession, only to fight to the end, the northern heroic Stian family, which once had 100,000 soldiers, was finally broken through in many places, unable to defend the situation, the duke himself retreated into the inner city with a hundred guards, set fire to the mansion in the inner city, and burned the glory of the Stien family in Morhausk for a hundred years, and countless treasures obtained from all over the country with himself,

That night, the firelight swept over Morhausk, illuminating the girl's somewhat bleak face, countless black-armored soldiers overflowed the city gate like a tide, and the battle flag of the Stien family was cut from a high place, like leaves falling in the wind in the torrent of history, the girl always believed that the city wall was old and mottled, but it was part of the indelible glory of Molhaus, and Morehaus, the first male city in the north, would one day climb to the top of the earth

"Did you tell my father about that?"

The girl glanced at the carriage, walked to the butler waiting at the door, was a middle-aged man with a little gray hair, wearing a black swallowtail, standing at the door with a respectful expression, the caravan was parked by her in the ring city, after a few days of rest, it will continue to enter the north into Ellchemore, everyone knows that the Vekia Falcon will marry the grassland princess Philanton in Echarmmore, it is a prosperous era, all the forces within the empire will send people to participate, even in the distant northwest region of Obaro, there are also some countries that send people to watch the ceremony,

For most people, it was a spectacular wedding, but for the merchants, it was a war that had already been blown! and their weapons and armies were wagons full of goods.

"Miss sent it is really timely, tomorrow at noon, the mayoral election will be held in the city hall, if you can make a big deal tonight, tomorrow the lord will be nine out of ten!" The butler replied respectfully, "The lord said that the young lady did a beautiful job this time, and everyone got the stolen goods, in fact, it doesn't matter whether you can punish these soldiers, the important thing is to show the whole Moorhausk the attitude of our Bourbon family, that is, in the face of the military, our Bourbon family will also protect everyone's safety!" If you add to that the lucrative benefits obtained from going to Achmore, the lord must be the mayor of Molhaus!"

In the barracks outside the city of Morhaus, the head of the local flag of Morhaus, Heng Tingzheng, looked at a complaint from the Bourbon family, a wealthy merchant in the city, opposite him, sat a middle-aged merchant with a stern expression, he was the wealthy merchant Bourbonrad in the city, his so-called accusation was a group of imperial cavalry marching towards Morhausco, these cavalry were obviously outsiders, and they actually entered the private lake land of the Bourbon family next to the lake without authorization, "What do you mean by this?" Hunting looked at Bourbonrad on the opposite side unexpectedly, and asked puzzledly, "This kind of thing is nothing, it has happened before, as long as it is not caught red-handed, no one can say anything, but this time it is different, the luck of that imperial cavalry may be really bad, it actually ran into your caravan, and was painted a portrait by your painter! But even so, is your Excellency really prepared to really fight against the military, do you know what it means?" If an Imperial officer is held accountable simply for defiling the lake, it won't be long before the Imperial Military Affairs Department's order to dismiss me will be delivered to me! Are you helping me or hurting me?"

"Don't get me wrong, tomorrow is the day of the mayoral election, and if I let others know that I can't even protect my own private property, the news spreads. It's hard to say the result that has already been decided," the middle-aged businessman seemed to see his confusion and said with a solemn face

"So this matter must be dealt with immediately, in fact, I also know the difficulties of the adults, the other party is a regular army, but the adults are a banner commander of the empire, at least you can ask about it, it is best to stop them for two days, so that the whole of Morhaus knows that I, Bourbonrad, can have the courage to serve as the mayor of the guardian duty!

"Stop the regular army. You must know that those who can become regular soldiers are the elite of the empire, and listening to your description, the other party is dressed very much like the cavalry of the most elite Central Army of the empire, which is the most trusted army of the emperor!"

Hearing Bourbonrad's request, Hunting frowned with a little headache, he was thinking about the origin of this group of Imperial cavalry, the Empire had just transferred tens of thousands of elite troops from the Obaro region to rest, and it was difficult to say that these cavalry would not be the troops that were transferred back to rest. If they all belong to the imperial elite army system, then the flag commander of his local army is too light in weight, the rank of the regular army is higher than that of the local army, and the flag commander of the local army is only the position of squadron leader in the regular rules.

The most important thing is that he has offended people in this matter, and it is indeed Bourbonrad who has benefited!" The adults asked the other party to stay for two days according to the procedure, and it should still be possible!"

Bourbonrad's eyes blinked, and he glanced at Hengting, who was still hesitant. Said "The empire has issued a city mayor decree, all cities with a population of more than 100,000 people can run for mayor, and the mayor has great power, he can manage almost the entire city, I heard that this time the imperial military department also issued a rest order for the local army, it seems that some unqualified and bloated local troops will be transferred to fight overseas, for adults, this is also an excellent opportunity to show Xiàn, if there is a joint appointment of the chamber of commerce in the city as an evaluation, adults should be able to avoid the possibility of being transferred overseas!" "Is that it?

Heng Ting's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, obviously tempting, the empire seems to be victorious in overseas battlefields, and the benefits are lucrative, but it is for the regular troops with strong combat capabilities, and for the local troops with almost the combat power of the peasants, it is simply a disaster, and the move of the Imperial Military Department is obviously to clean up the local garrisons that were recruited in order to consolidate the rule at the beginning, so as to reduce the military expenses of the empire.

Bourbonrad's offer is quite tempting, each according to his needs, the empire pays attention to commerce, one of the main responsibilities of the local garrison is to protect the smooth flow of local trade routes, this will be evaluated every year, as Bourbonrad said, if the Moorhausk Chamber of Commerce is willing to give itself an excellent evaluation, the Imperial War Department will not consider itself as "relocation", "What a weight that people can't choose!" Hunting took a deep breath in frustration, the empire is not so easy to fool in this regard, the Imperial Supervision Department has set up a little in every region, for the assessment of the local garrison, if the assessment of the Ministry of Supervision is different from that of the Chamber of Commerce, it is a very troublesome big mistake, "Bang bang" Just when Hunting was thinking, there was a rush of riding boots outside the door, and then there was a quick knock on the door, and the adjutant's voice came "My lord, can I come in?" Hengting shouted with some displeasure, he had just given the order not to disturb, but the adjutant still rudely chose to interrupt the conversation, if it was not to take the order as a deaf ear, then it was to show that the matter might be really urgent,

Sure enough, the adjutant pushed open the door and came in, and the first thing he said was in a panic, "Something happened, a bonfire of communication for the battle was lit in the direction of the third post ten miles outside the city! Now that it has reached here, what should we do?" "What! Are the officers of the post crazy, they actually lit a bonfire for messengers!" Hunting jumped up from his seat like a rabbit with his tail stepped on, and the messenger bonfire was placed at the top of the guard tower, which would be lit once attacked, and on the combat border, such a messenger bonfire would have one every five miles, and 20 would be a hundred miles away, as long as one was lit, in just one hour, the information of the enemy's troops would be transmitted to a hundred miles away, but this is not a combat area, and the messenger bonfire is more like a decoration

But tonight, the messenger bonfire was lit, "Come, order to assemble!" Henting didn't continue to scold, he roared loudly to the adjutant, "What are you still doing, according to the rules of the army, the messenger bonfire is lit, which is the signal of battle, immediately gather all the soldiers, assemble within half an hour, and immediately go to the place where the bonfire is lit!" (To be continued......)
