1437 The Collapse of the Union (III)

Northwest Territories, Ciudad Pizza Calou

The yellowed maple leaves were scattered thickly on the streets of the city, as if a golden blanket had been spread, a luxuriously decorated carriage, in the midst of a group of red cloaked knights, stopped in the most majestic hall in the city, two knights in red cloaks jumped down from behind the carriage, one of the knights skillfully and respectfully opened the door of the carriage, the other rolled out the red carpet under the door, ten seconds later, a young man in a brown hunting suit, golden chestnut hair trimmed on the cuffs, steadily descended from the open carriage door, a very delicate person, soft hair unruly scattered in front of the forehead, faint two curved eyebrows, looking extremely gentle, but the skin appears a little too fair,

"It's been ten years, and the autumn here is still as beautiful as ever!" The young man took a deep breath with some feelings, his eyes narrowed slightly into a thin line, faintly flashing with a faint light, his eyes were as bright as stars, full of depth that was completely inconsistent with this young man, as if he had already penetrated the world, under his gaze, more than a dozen figures on the steps hurriedly walked down, "Lord Katya!"

All of them looked a little nervous, and bowed neatly to the young men, who stood humbly on both sides of the steps, and adopted the most solemn welcome etiquette for the young people, which was completely inconsistent with their respective status as regional lords, "You are too polite, I am just a passing guest!

The young man walked up the steps, pun intended, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with this, his sharp and burning gaze, sweeping over the person next to him, seemed to be able to see through the inner thoughts of the person,

"There. It is an honor for us to be able to see Lord Katya in this poor and remote place!" A lord bent down and said with flattery on his face, "I heard that Lord Katya has been awarded the responsibility of Commander-in-Chief by His Majesty the Emperor in the imperial capital this time, which is a practice in the empire for a hundred years, and it is really admirable."

"There, it's just a preparation for war, Your Majesty is worthy of being a person with the blood of the emperor, ambitious, but even a mediocre person like me is moved to want to die" The young man laughed. Rarely showed a bit of pride

The young man stopped at the end of the steps, his eyes were like electricity, and suddenly fell on a fiery red-haired middle-aged man next to him, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency Duke Denia, I haven't seen you for a few months, but you are becoming more and more heroic. He is truly worthy of being called the leader of the first military power in the northwest."

"Lord Katya is so ridiculous! The current situation is still far from the true ideal!" Duke Denia lowered his head a little ugly, and a trace of panic flashed on his face, "As for what the first military power, it is really nonsense. Let the adults laugh!" "Duke of Denia, the previous emperor His Majesty said that being too modest is synonymous with arrogance," the light man looked calm. Only the gaze brings a slight chill to people: "I've heard that your famous sentence "the army is the country" really makes people feel your great ambition."

There was silence all around, and all eyes were on Duke Denia. Under this kind of look, the always tough Duke of Denia could see beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, even he, a military madman, did not dare to be presumptuous in front of this young man, and only dared to say there, "Where, where, it was just miscommunicated" It was really because of this young man's identity, which was not at the same level as himself at all! In terms of momentum, he was so pressed that he was dead! "Haha, it's just a joke, why be so nervous!" The corners of the young man's mouth finally showed a crooked smile, and he walked into the lobby with a calm demeanor, that kind of arrogance, as if he had just tamed a beast, and the people behind him hurriedly followed,

Duke Denia had the opportunity to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead with his hands, it was terrible, looking at the young man's back, Duke Denia found that he didn't know when, he was already wet with cold sweat, and his mind couldn't help but flash the dazzling background of this young man,

Algernon Katya, the youngest legionary commander in the Gallic Empire, is known as the Lion of Algernon,

Its Third Legion, as the Empire's main combat force against the Congo Empire in the southeast, has a strength of 150,000 troops, and is the only legion in the Imperial Legion that has both a navy and an army.

The two forces are connected, outside, one is responsible for the expansion of the wild land in the northwest, and the other is responsible for the expansion of the powerful Central European Barrow, which seems to not interfere with each other, but in fact, internally, because the regions are connected, the interests are constantly entangled, plus some family grievances, for more than a hundred years, the two families have fought each other openly and secretly, like fire and water, each wants to become the largest force in the western part of the empire, and stabilize the other party, but unfortunately, the Algernon family, which was an important minister of the empire in the early days, has far deeper roots than the Julils family that only rose in the middle period.

The Julliers family was mainly focused on the military, while the Algernons had an extraordinary position both militarily and politically, with only one of the ten legions of the empire and two of the Algernons.

In politics, the highest position in the Julils family was the deputy head of the Imperial Military Department, although he was posthumously awarded the title of Chief of the Military Department, but that was already a false name.

And the Algernon family has chosen the first marshal of the empire, two terms of the chief of internal affairs, and one term of the imperial financial chief, the reason why there is no chief of military affairs is because the royal family does not want to see the Algernon family too powerful, but as compensation, it is often stuffed into a fat and oily position,

No way, the Algernon family has been the queen of the third emperor of the empire for two consecutive generations of sisters, and in the following fifty years, there have been four princesses, in a sense, the blood of the Algernon family has infiltrated the unshakable tree of the royal family, in a sense, the Algernon family can already be regarded as a branch of the royal family,

In many cases, the attitude of the Algernon family is almost the attitude of the royal family, so it is just a small trick, and a half-wealthy family like the Julils family immediately falls into a precarious situation of being isolated from the upper class

This time, Algernon Katya had just returned to his residence from attending a conference in the imperial capital. The young Emperor Majesty is preparing to start a war against the Congo Empire, the Gang Fei Empire that received the news, the navy has moved north, the Imperial Navy is unfavorable in the early stage, the empire is already at a disadvantage in the first confrontation, the Emperor Majesty hopes to save face in the army, more than 200,000 border guards are gathering, the two army corps of the empire in the south are mobilizing, and they may cross the border line at any time, and a big war is about to break out.

As the general of the empire guarding the southwest, Algernon Katya, who has been the emperor's best playmate since childhood, was once again given the post of commander-in-chief of the southwest army, which is the most sensational event in the whole of Kyoto recently.

In the history of the empire, the name of the Commander-in-Chief was only in the early days of its creation, and in order to deal with threats from all sides, there was such a powerful and exclusive responsibility. But later they were all deserted, and even if they were, most of them were non-combat zones, like this. The position of consul general is a fictitious position, and most of the people who hold these positions are veterans who have experienced a hundred battles and are already in the retirement stage. The empire needs the prestige of these people,

And this time, the new emperor broke with the previous convention. More than two hundred years later, the position of commander-in-chief, which was truly military power, was once again conferred on Algernonkatya, that is to say, as long as the troops that entered the southwest region to fight, no matter what his status, all the military generals were under his jurisdiction, and this heavy responsibility was enough to see the importance that the new emperor attached to Algernonkatya, and it was rumored that the Algernon family had once again ascended to the position of the chief military minister, and it was the young Gaul emperor who was eager to open a gap in the military and establish his prestige.

It has become the consensus of the nobles of the empire that the Algernon family will once again climb the pinnacle of honor, and if it were not for this, these opponents would not dare to jump out against the Julils family so decisively,

After all, in a way, they are a typical betrayal, and no one dares to blatantly help them until the Julils family is wiped out, not even a family as premier as the Algernon family, which is second to none.

Otherwise, it will cause turmoil and division within the entire empire, because once someone starts, the areas controlled by other families will naturally respond, and no one wants to see the scene of chaos and war.

This has become a tacit agreement to protect oneself and also limit the enemy.

In the hall of the synagogue, through the windows of the hall, you can clearly see the huge city wall, and along the corridor outside stands a row of heavily armored knights, with red tassels hanging down from the top of their helmets, and the knights have a stern expression, holding a tall tower shield in their hands, and wearing a red cloak behind their backs.

A large round table was placed in the center of the conference hall, and a faint yellow ray of sunlight shone down from the zenith glass, illuminating the thirteen brown back-to-back benches around the round table below, and thirteen chairs, but only eleven people were present, representing the eleven regions of the anti-Julils family alliance,

Southend, Svendborg, Bangor, Tarbert, Luarka, Skivo, Bartonta, Brace, Wiley, Loso, Zekelia, the two absent are O'Acha and Atwood Sea City, the sultry weather has not been slightly reduced by the fact that this is a spacious hall,

The atmosphere in the conference room is even more dull and abnormal.

"I've heard some bad news, your heroic act against the tyranny of the Julliers family seems to have been troubled by the barbarians?"

Algernon Katya sat in the middle of the main seat like the stars holding the moon, so his eyebrows frowned slightly, "Do you need my help? I came this time just for this matter, the plan of the Emperor is about to be launched, I am not afraid to tell you, the Emperor has already removed the ruling area of Fort Julilsford, so no matter whether the war is won or lost, the decline of the Julils family is only a matter of time, I want to know, what do you think of this falcon kingdom that suddenly appeared?"

"Ahem, this ......" The opposition looked at each other with embarrassed faces, not knowing what to say, they had not fought with the Falcon Kingdom, but they also knew that Atwood and O'Acha had been beaten badly,

Of course, they didn't dare to say that their side was already panicked, and they were silent for a while, and the Marquis of Brace, who was a little older, said,

Although we have done our best, the cunning of the barbarians is unimaginable, they are like foxes, always attacking our soft underbelly, and without Atwood's navy, our situation seems to be very unfavorable, and the whole coastline, we already know how to defend it!

"Fox-like cunning barbarians, you're talking about the guy who stupidly built roads, but swallowed the whole of Nesta in one gulp without anyone noticing," the young man said in a light tone. Looks a little disdainful, and his fingers are rhythmically tapping on the tabletop,

A gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said, "To tell the truth, although he is an uncivilized barbarian, no, it should be said that he is the ruler of the northwest coast now, and in this matter, he has done a very good job, raiding Nista." Defeating Atwood, taking the initiative from the sea, and sweeping you from the rear while your main forces are pinning down Brandenburg is a clumsy and simple tactic, but it works! His blows may not seem important, but each time, he can pull you out, from weak to strong. You are like prey crucified in a spider's web, abandon Brandenburg or go back to defense, you have no chance of victory" "Lord Katya is indeed worthy of the emperor's admiration, it is simply to the point! This ruling on the northwest coast is simply shameless!" Hearing Algernon Katya's words. The faces of the lords suddenly realized, all kinds of sycophants were like a tide, and their eyes sparkled at Algernon Katya, as if they had seen a savior, "Don't worry." This situation will not be there anytime soon!" Algernon Katya waved his hand to everyone, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I have applied to His Majesty the Emperor, in the name of the Governor of the Southwest. Declaring you the logistics of this campaign, he can no longer attack any of you, otherwise he will be ignoring the orders of the Emperor Xià and destroying the transformation of the entire campaign, unless this barbarian consul wants to start a war with the entire empire, if this is the case, the Julils family will not be able to protect him" "Battle logistics?" The lords glanced at each other, with a deep confusion on their faces, "My lord, we are the Northwest Region, and my lord is the Southwest Commander-in-Chief......" A lord asked puzzled. I said that this is the southwest area, this is the southwest area, if Julilsford is not convinced, you can go to the emperor to complain!" Algernon Katya stood up, his expression was grim, and his fair face revealed a hideous domineering "But do you think that the emperor will see him again!"

This method is really wonderful, if these areas are circled by the emperor as the logistics of the campaign, it is estimated that the Julils family will also be quite helpless, even if they go to Kyoto to preach, not to mention the coming and going for a month, who knows what the situation will be like at that time,

This move is even more powerful than the opponent's sneak attack on the rear, and directly gives the opponent a blow to block it......

The torrential rain for several days stopped on this day,

The air is filled with the fresh smell of rain, and the late summer sun is surprisingly gentle on the earth, which makes people feel lazy.

The fat man was sitting in the lord's study in Aulailong Castle, looking solemnly at a document handed over from the Julils family in his hand, and the black hand behind the opposition finally emerged,

Since the occupation of O'acha, in the past few days, the navy has intensified its transportation, and 10,000 steppe cavalry have once again landed on the land of O'acha, with a strength of 15,000 men, and it will soon be possible to divide the troops into several routes and carry out a sweep of the opposition's weak rear,

But this sudden arrival of Wen Jiàn, so that the fat man's already raised war knife temporarily stopped in the air,

Putting down the text in his hand, the fat man stood up and came to the position of the windowsill, the afterglow of the sunset, the area by the lake outside the city of Olelongbao, the grass and trees are particularly luxuriant, groups of animals, all kinds of birds flying and falling, all gathered by the lake, indifferently and auspiciously. According to Juliel Steley, who is familiar with the terrain, there is a large river beneath Fort Olelon, and the water gushes out of the ground to become such a lake-dense spectacle. Oleon means lake.

"I know, my father is sick!" The door of the study was pushed open, and the brutal girl Juliel Steli came in from outside the door in a hurry, wearing a long yellow dress that was close to her, showing a graceful and seductive figure, and a fair face, with a rare hint of panic,

"I've already received the news, don't worry, it's not a serious illness, it will be fine after a while!" The fat man turned his head to be relieved, looking at Juliel Sterley, who looked a little haggard, the fat man sighed secretly in his heart, father and daughter are connected, Lao Fubao is being plotted ruthlessly, whoever is plotted like this, it is estimated that it is enough to choke,

"I want to go back and see, I heard that my father is going to Kyoto to plead, I'm afraid of ......" The brutal girl Juliel Sterley wanted to speak and stopped, Chu Chu looked pitiful, and wanted the fat man to pinch a delicate and pretty face,

"Tomorrow there will be a boat back to the northwest coast, you can go with you!" The fat man resisted the impulse in his heart and nodded silently, more than half of the land in the entire northwest region was lightly rowed to the southwest,

Fort Julillsford, who has been in the northwest all his life, has no gas and cerebral congestion, which is already a blessing!

The only difference is that he used the army, while the other side used the name of the Gallic Empire.

Algernon Katya!

The fat man deeply remembered this hateful guy who suddenly made a move and intercepted his own winning cards,

It's a pity that this guy doesn't know that the righteousness of the Gallic Empire may be effective for Lao Fubao, but for the fat man, how effective can it be?

What effect can this blow do in addition to angering the stubborn guy of the fat man! Before understanding the opponent's temperament, he will suffer retribution! (To be continued......
