The fall of Illu has caused a strong shock in several countries near Normandy. Although everyone has a happy attitude towards the decline of the regional leader Normandy, the speed of this decline is too surprising. .

From the landing of the Salander's expeditionary force, to the defeat of the Normandy main force, the fall of Kyoto, and finally the only barrier, the Illu Fortress, was also resisted after 3 days of hard work. The Falcon Empire's aggressive offensive allowed all The surrounding countries have to face a problem, that is, the most powerful Normandy in the region was wiped out by an inexplicable country in just 2 months..

If someone had predicted this before, it would be regarded as a neuropathy,

Normandy has tens of thousands of soldiers in the northwest region, and the battle is sturdy and brave. Several generals are all fierce corners. Such a military force may not be a big deal for the Gaul Empire, but these countries in Normandy Fujian The strength of the Principality of Romana is only about 40,000, the strength of the Principality of Dunkier is about 70,000, the strength of the Principality of Niesta is 30,000, and the strength of the San Lorenzo Autonomous Leader is 20,000. The strength of the Normans is already obvious, although The Normans lost more than 40,000 people in Salander, and the local left-behind troops also have 40,000 people. Apart from the Principality of Dunkirk, several other countries have no provocative strength.

But such a military force, with the advantage of local operations, was wiped out in just two months, and one can imagine the shocks of various countries,

The order to send troops from the Gaul Empire was sent to the countries half a month ago, but no one wanted to shoot first. These mysterious enemies came in fierce and set off a **** storm in the Normandy region. Now they are ready to rescue the Normandy people. I don’t have the slightest benefit.

It is cruel winter now. Countries are facing various kinds of food crises, large or small, and mobilizing their troops to fight in Normandy. It is not easy to say that, according to the decree of the empire, aided troops must also solve their own food problems. For many countries, there is no Unlike the worse of the snow, even if the enemy is driven out of Normandy, these areas from the new restoration are also the Normans.

Everyone was watching, and wanted to wait until the last moment when the Normans and the Salanders were exhausted to send troops. At that time, the interests could be maximized, at least the Normans could be knocked hard, but no one expected that the Normans lost, and the defeat was so fast that many kingdoms felt caught off guard.

Just when Illu was captured, the Principality of Romana and Dunkil, north of Salend, had just reached an agreement to send troops together in the royal palace of the Principality of Romana. And secretly agreed to divide Normandy into two parts, north and south, annexed according to the line of Alaman,

After hearing the news of the fall of Illu, the dukes of the two principalities stopped the name they were about to sign. Eyes stood up from his seat. Normandy was finished. Now the area of ​​Normandy is for the Empire. In name it is the land of no owner, whoever has the ability to get it is who! It is a fool to still spend time here, in front of a sufficiently large interest. Even the timid coward will quickly become a warrior

On the afternoon of the same day, the Principality of Romana, who could not wait, ordered its 5,000 border guards to cross the border of Normandy. The 20,000 troops of the Principality of Dunkirk also overtook the Porico Mountains on the border. On the southeast side of Normandy, 10,000 troops of the Principality of Niesta quickly seized the original disputed border area between Normandy and Llandeno. In the southwest, even the weakest self-employed San Lorenzo, Without hesitation, they occupied several border towns that originally belonged to the Normans.

For the teams on the border that have begun to exercise, the Falcons that occupied the central and southern Normandy region quickly contracted the original somewhat diffuse front. Instead of immediately launching a counterattack, they unexpectedly abandoned some unimportant areas.

Statunko ordered Reposti's expeditionary army to arm with Normandy Kyoto as the center of gravity, carrying enemies attacking from two directions: southeast and southwest. The strong attack between the Principality of Kerr and the Principality of Romana, for a time, the wind-swept northwest coast unexpectedly became the focus of a new hegemonic battle

The carriage traveled on the wide cobblestoned street. The fledgling Norman Duke Carvibod opened the curtain of the carriage. His **** eyes stared at the huge white fountain fountain in the center of the city street. The bustling street The horse-drawn carriage traveling around and the children running happily on the road all made this northwest owl, who is not as good as a chicken, feel a deep frustration.

This used to be a scene that I wanted to bring to Normandy, but now, I can only appreciate it on the land of other countries. The carriage drove into a wide and gorgeously decorated manor at the end of the street.

The white marble giant building with a width of 100 meters is set against the blue sky and blue water like a fairy tale. The whole building is miraculously built on a huge artificial lake. Only the inclined steps leading to the gate reach 30 meters. In the middle is an expensive luxury red carpet. On both sides of the promenade are hundreds of evergreen pine trees that are also green in winter. The huge step center flower garden is dotted with various kinds of exotic flowers and weeds.

Unnamed purple flowers that can’t even be named by the name, in the dry and cold winter, form a dazzling and huge sea of ​​flowers on the surface of the lake. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, no one can believe that it is already cold at this moment. Severe winter, not the playful chūn season

At this moment, the area where he is located is called Beyond County, a zìyóu trade city northwest of Normandy, Beyond County, a neutral city sandwiched between several northwest coast forces,

Its deep background is an important reason why Cavibod chose this place as an exile. This is the private seal of the imperial finance minister Prescott. The so-called private seal is actually the lords of the empire in the empire. Outside land,

Because they are not native to the empire, they do not need to pay taxes to the empire. The status of these private escorts is like a reserved land that the empire giants have cultivated. Some people build them as military fortresses, others. It was built as a trading city. Because it is located in various places of the empire, the private town can provide a variety of local specialties to its home in Kyoto, which is also an important sign of the identity of the imperial giant.

For example, the owner of the city, Prescott, the Minister of Finance of the Empire, has as many as 14 private enclaves in the entire empire, with a total area even exceeding Normandy.

Such a situation is not uncommon within the empire. For example, the Secretary of State Miriam has 8 private closures, the Home Secretary Webster has 12 private closures, and the Minister of Justice Hokors has the most, with 23 private closures. Feng Yi, but it is said that the private seal of the old fashioned military minister is a camp and fortress for training soldiers. Therefore, the private armament of the Hokors family is called the empire first, with a total of 70,000 people. People are like a medium-sized kingdom.

The construction of this city of Beyond County was entirely undertaken by the Prescott of the Empire of Finance, which used more than ten million gold coins. The entire city occupies more than 20 miles, and the two crossing rivers slow down from the edge of the city. Slowly flowing, if the goods are transported to the ship from here, it takes only half a day to reach the northeast estuary of the mainland, and if it enters the inland of the empire from here, it only takes 2 days to reach the empire's first Alexandra

The carriage stopped in front of the huge white marble steps. A **** of seriousness, a waiter in a black dress pulled open the door to stop the carriage, and died in the chaotic army. The God of God walked off the carriage. He looked up at the huge building in front of him, took a deep breath, and asked, "Is Lord Prescott here?"

"My host is meeting with guests from the empire, and we will be able to meet the Duke in a few moments." The waiter hesitated, apparently knowing Kavibod, and responded very carefully.

"Guests of the empire?" Cavibod's haggard face was amazed. He took a gold placard from his cuffs and handed it over. "Can I ask in a pretentious manner, is it a distinguished guest of that family?"

"This..." a dilemma appeared on the waiter's face

Kavibod took out a small bag of heavy gold coins from his pocket and handed it to the waiter in front of him, saying, "It must be very hard to stand here all day. The hardworking and responsible people should get what they deserve. Respect!" "This is so polite!" The waiter put his hand on the bag~lightnovelpub.net~ said with a short eyebrow and smiled. "Yes, I arrived only last night! , A person from the Julius family in Kyoto, although he doesn’t look very young, it seems to be a very thoughtful person.”

The waiter's voice stopped and looked around, and found that there was no talent to say carefully, "My master said that if the Duke can impress him, or he might have the opportunity to return to the country," he might have been a Julie who had not moved for five years. Family!"

A trace of horror flashed on Kavibod's face. The Julius family, as one of the three great nobles of the empire, had a terrifying strength. The ten commanders of the empire, the Julius family accounted for two,

The strategy in charge of the northwest region is the fifth emperor regiment of the Julius Falbert of the Julius family.

It's no wonder that even the owner of this family will say this,

You should know that according to the military system of the empire, a corps has a strength of 100,000 people, and the Julius family has held the post of the empire’s general manager of northwest affairs for more than fifteen years.

As far as influence is concerned, just revealing a word to the outside will still shake the wind direction of the entire northwest, (to be continued.)
