() The impact of the fiasco in the Southwestern Battle is fading. In August, the Gaul area has become denser, and the once fertile land has become dry and dry. In the area east of Lasti, Gaul, which was not greatly affected by the war Provincial, at least on the surface, still maintains a prosperous scene, seeing white frost on the road, and in the villages along the way, you can see signs of recruiting everywhere,

A group of Gaul young people gathered around the recruitment office, pointing at the content of the recruitment notice

"Come and join the imperial team, eat and drink," the officers of the recruitment office have a loud voice, trying their best to promote the benefits of joining the army, standing behind several specially selected Imperial infantry, an infantry armor looks majestic in the sun , Which has attracted the attention of many young people,

"Wearing magnificent imperial armor, wielding a sharp knight's sword, 3 silver coins a month, maybe come back next time, you are the most influential person in the whole village, even if the village master sees you, Lower your waist and call you adults, glory, beauty, wealth, because of everything, such rich conditions are not available every time!"

"Is it true that the conditions this year are so good!"

A young man in the crowd stared at the notice, grunting and swallowing. His eyes showed an irresistible desire. It was really too good. In the past years, soldiers were recruited. One silver coin a month, but this year, three a month. Silver coins, three times more military pay than in previous years, except for the passion of adventure, which young man has no intention,

The man wields his sword to fight the four quarters, and returns to his hometown with all his glory. When he thinks about it, it makes people bloody, not to mention that in the interior of the Gaul Empire, the ranks are strict, the nobility is high, and the system of inheritance is adopted. The civilians want to jump The upper aristocracy only has a way out by virtue of military merit. m

"Come here, this young man destined to become a big man, come forward and press your fingerprints. At first glance, you are the material of becoming an officer. If you get the appreciation of an adult, you may become a million people. Eye-catching character" The officer of the recruitment office looked at the young man with a hearty smile on his face,

Pointing his finger at the row of polished infantry mail and iron shields on the weapon rack behind him, he said, "See the soldiers behind me, the full set of armor and shields of the imperial soldiers. Just press the handprint on the book, you can What a glorious thing it is to be the lucky ones they are envious of!"

"Really? Ruibru, let's go join the army together!" A young man in sackcloth looked at the majestic soldier behind the recruiter and couldn't help saying to the whispered companion beside him

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I heard that the empire was defeated by the Dark Demon Army in the northwest, and many people died!" The companion named Rui Brou was a young man with blond curly hair, although his eyes Full of longing, but with a little disdain in his mouth, "Go join the army now. Just go cannon fodder!"

"Who said this, how could the empire's army fail!" The officer just heard the two men's words, his face suddenly changed slightly, and his tone was severe.

"I don't see it. My cousin just came back from the Rasti area in the west. The young man who just spoke out his lips and said in disappointment." She said that in Rastie, the Northwest Demon Army massacred hundreds of thousands. Emperor team! The body was spread out for a dozen miles. I can’t count too many. When I walk at night, I can clearly hear the sound of wild dogs nibbling and eating corpses in the wild! "

"Yeah. I also heard that the western part of the empire has been completely reduced to the control area of ​​the Northwest Demon Army." Another young man hesitated and said, "The emperor suffered heavy casualties on the front line, so he initiated the conscription in advance, otherwise, according to the practice , Usually recruiting troops in the spring!"

"Bullshit, the advance recruitment is because the empire is marching in the northwest. The northwest barbarian who hit the front line throws his helmet off and removes his armor. As a good boy in the empire, it is a good opportunity for you to build a career." The officer of the recruitment office said angrily. If you hear you again If such defamation, I immediately ordered the arrest of you!

"People who don't want to join, please go away immediately, don't delay my time, I really don't know good people!" The officer waved angrily at the people around him, and the soldiers behind him quickly came up to drive

"What's the matter? I got angry so quickly, really there is a problem! Go away, go away, I don't want to go to death" The young people who surrounded the recruitment notice were scattered, leaving the empty recruitment office

"Assholes, are a group of selfish and timid guys!" The recruiting officers watched as they left, screaming suddenly, several soldiers lowered their heads, and one soldier looked up at the sky, Hesitated for a while and said, "Head, now there are news of front-line defeat everywhere. What the **** is going on! The notice that was supposed to be recruited in the spring was posted so eagerly now, and nothing really went wrong. Question!"

"Hey, who knows!" The officer sighed helplessly, and his hands were replayed on the blank roster of Zishang, crying and laughing. "Only knowing that the western front is tight, there is an urgent need to add troops. There are also rumors in private, the Empire gathers The army in the west suffered a disastrous defeat and hundreds of thousands of army corpses ran across the field. Although such news has been fully blocked, it cannot avoid a small part of it. The officer of the recruitment office once heard some senior officers say in private, The empire has lost more than 300,000 troops in the west. The defense of the west is being dragged into the vortex a little bit. Once the fragile appearance is broken, the interior of the empire may be affected more widely. The front line continues to require reinforcements, otherwise, The empire will lose more than just the west.

"No, it won't be here soon!" Several soldiers frightened a spirit, they belonged to the local army in the Beaci area, less than 400 miles from the rumored Rusti area. Crossing is only a province,

"That's why it's so urgent to recruit! This time, there are strict orders. Every recruitment office needs to recruit at least 10 people, otherwise it will be deducted according to the standard of one person deducting one silver coin, and the recruitment notice has been put on half. It has been eight months since we recruited eight soldiers. If in previous years, such favorable conditions had already recruited 100 people, it really makes people worry!"

The recruiting officer looked sad. He was only the lowest-ranking officer, similar to a general infantry captain or the like, and he had ten silver coins a month. This is because he is an old man and has been in the army for more than ten years, with three more. Allowance for silver coins. If it is other lower-level officers, life is even more difficult,

Of course, this recruitment is not just a punishment. If the number of recruits exceeds the standard, each additional person will have a silver coin. This is a condition just mentioned recently. All the infantry captains ran out to recruit soldiers, hoping to recruit as much as possible. As more young and strong men join the army, the region's military resources begin to get nervous. As for the situation on the front line, the officer of the recruitment office is also unclear. He is only a low-level officer, and he is mostly hearsay about the news, but from the heart, he still firmly believes that the empire will not fail.

The officer waited for a while and saw that several young people passing by were deliberately evading announcements from the recruitment office, realizing that no one would come. So he ordered to his subordinates, "You can't wait any longer, tomorrow is the last deadline. Pack up, let's go to Anqili Village!"

"Anqili Village? Head. That's the village of the mountain people!" Several soldiers were startled when they heard the officer's order, and their faces were pale.

The so-called mountain people. It is the kind of hunter who lives in the old forest of the mountain all year round. This kind of person is generally an excellent shooter, because the residence is not fixed. Therefore, not paying taxes to local tax officials is the most hated group of tax officials. In addition, some local nobles discriminate and drive away. There is often conflict between the two. The relationship between mountain people and outsiders is very tense.

"No way, I can only go there now and try!" The officer sighed ugly. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. His temples were pale, and he was wearing a washed, white sergeant. In the blue cross uniform, the recruitment notice has been posted for half a month, and there are fewer and fewer people willing to join the army in the nearby areas.

Thinking of his lack of the last two places, the officer felt a headache. Looking at the hesitant look of several soldiers, he smiled at the corner of his mouth. "Relax, it will not matter. Although the mountain people are brutal, they often maintain a certain degree for our local army. After all, we don’t want to provoke the strong mountain people, and the mountain people don’t want to provoke the local army to encircle and suppress them. Sometimes, some young mountain people will also go out of the mountain and join the army as mercenaries in exchange for property. Last time I went, I also brought out three young mountain people! I heard that they performed several missions in the 27th Infantry Regiment, and they all made a fortune."

"The 27th Infantry Regiment in the Aceh area? I heard that they also went to Rusty last month! I don’t know how it is now!" A soldier who was packing up his weapon rack turned back unexpectedly when he heard the officer , There was a sudden silence all around, everyone stopped working in their hands, their eyes gathered on the officer

"What else can I do, I'm afraid it's fierce!" The middle-aged officer said secretly in his heart, looking at the red glow of the sky dignified, without breathing out a tone, just then, there was a faint rolling sound From a distance, several soldiers also felt something and turned their eyes in one direction,

West,

Under the sky of crimson clouds, in the shadowy pale sky, a team of black armored cavalry rolled across the ground like a wind, and the snow on the ground rolled up under the horseshoe, just like a white tornado sweeping the ground.

"That's it!" The middle-aged officer's eyes were dull, completely frightened,

I saw a team of black cavalry, lined up in a long black line moving fast, glooming under the golden light of the sun, a dense queue of cavalry continued to rise above the hills, and it looked like a blockage from a distance Suddenly appeared in the black wall of the hilly area, the immense hard ground, and in the huge vibration sound raised by the galloping horses, it gradually became clearer, getting closer and closer, and a golden falcon with open teeth and claws fluttering in the wind The wings made of golden thread, with a burst of sky-split momentum, are like a living creature staring coldly at the earth in front of them.

"It is the cavalry of the Northwest Demon Army!" The middle-aged officer shivered and shouted quickly. Everyone flashed away. "Several soldiers were scared and spread to both sides.

"Enemy. Enemy attack!" A soldier looked at the black cavalry cluster that had stormed in front of him. His eyes were dull, his lips trembling, his eyes almost burst out, staring at the clearly visible black armor of the cavalry, he felt a burst of throat Dry, before I came and ran, I sat on the ground with soft feet.

The rushing black iron flooded him

"Ruilai!" The middle-aged military officer who evaded to the side saw this scene with bloodshot eyes, and shouted the soldier's name hard, and the roaring horseshoe made his cry so vague, and the black cavalry rolled forward , Raising the sky of dust, a burst of wind passed through their queues, and the red flames on the top of their helmets were blown neatly. Like a sudden bright red, a chill that cools the soul spreads in the wind,

The eyes were full of black cavalry armor, and the torrent of steel blocked the officer's line of sight. The officer's shout gradually weakened, even revealing a sad despair,

He didn't know why he saw the cavalry of the Northwest Demon Army here, but it's the hinterland of the area four hundred miles from the front!

It is conceivable that Ruilai, who had not come and ran out, was trampled by so many horses. At this moment I am afraid that it has turned into indistinguishable minced meat, and the black rolling over his body is the color of the northwest magic army, which is synonymous with death, blood and brutality!

"The whole army accelerates and must enter the Regal region today!"

Hu Keqili rode on the galloping horse, looked up at the sky, and ordered loudly. A black empire general's armor showed the coldness of metal, and behind him was the red guard cloak flying in the wind. The galloping horses did not slow down. Flying past a Gaul soldier who was completely scared by the cavalry,

Next to him, there was a veteran with gray hair, wearing the silver, white and gold general armor of the Gaul Empire. Struggling to control the war horses to keep up with the cavalry cluster, his gaze stopped at the body of the Gaul soldier who had been completely scared finally, and said with dissatisfaction

"General Hu Keqili. After all, this is my Gaul hinterland. It's easy to cause unnecessary misunderstanding if you run like a horse!"

"My king wants me to rush to Gaul Kyoto within five days. Although it is a little reckless, please forgive me!" Hu Keqili immediately smiled unconsciously and I believe that the ride of the subordinates Skills, they are elite battle-hardened, accustomed to the sea of ​​swords, guns and arrows, so the most basic technique of avoiding flashes is not a problem! Instead, they came all the way and saw the sight of recruiting soldiers everywhere. It seems that your country is There are other expectations for the armistice agreement."

"Where, it's just a routine conscription every year!" Veteran Fei Tanli blushed, and the hands holding the reins could not help but a cold sweat, shame! The other party’s ridicule is so obvious, but he can only pretend to be calm. He is the deputy head of the 6th Army of Gaul and he was ordered to accompany the negotiator of the Falcon Empire to Gaul Kyoto.

Gaul lost the left wing of the Lasti area, and the situation has turned sharply. The commander of the Sixth Army, Hasen Lampo, issued an order for a decisive battle, and he is ready to let the more than 100,000 people of the Sixth Army fight to the death. To block the northwestern rebels from the Rasti area,

But for no reason, the Northwest rebels, which dominated the situation, suddenly stopped their strong attacks on the right wing, but sent envoys to propose that the two countries sign a truce in the name of the country. This could not help letting the already dead Hassan Lampo overjoy.

According to the agreement, the Gaul Empire recognized the Falcon Empire's occupation of the southwest and northwest regions, the Falcon Empire stopped its invasion of Gaul's hinterland, and the two armies retired with Rasti as the center line.

Although the Sixth Army Commander Hasen Lampo knew that once this agreement was signed, the Gaul Empire would really lose its nominal control of the southwest and northwest regions,

But if you don’t sign, once the Falcons attack with full force, the Rasti area is broken through, and Gaul will fall into a turbulent situation in the whole territory

With a contradictory heart, Hasen Rambo had to report the armistice agreement to Gallo-Kyoto, and said that the war situation in the Lasti region was almost collapsed and the military was in short supply. It was no longer possible to continue the battle. Although the armistice suffered losses, the empire could get a period For cultivation time, as long as you restore your strength, you can retake the southwest and northwest! "

Gaul Kyoto quickly replied, granting a truce to both sides, but an armistice agreement must be signed in Gaul Kyoto,

For the requirements of the Gauls~lightnovelpub.net~ The fat man just smiled unkindly. "They are all about to be smashed, and I have not forgotten to take care of my face!"

Obviously, the Gauls also knew that they could not fight anymore, but Gaul Kyoto was holding a celebration. At this time, a truce agreement signed by the Northwest Rebels was undoubtedly a fierce face, but if the Northwest Rebels sent someone to Gaul Kyoto Signing the contract is another matter. The Gaul-Kyoto side can fully explain this truce, which is actually a gift to the Northwest Rebels.

"Go for a trip!" The fat man threw the Gaul reply to the next-hand general Hu Keqili. "I will give you a thousand guard cavalry, don't lose my Falcon Empire's face, high Emperor Lu’s celebration, if I have the opportunity, I want to go, it’s a pity.”

The fat man sighed, looking somewhat sparse, and said, "Remember, the most important thing is..."

"Look at the terrain and provinces along the way, and pay attention to the internal changes in Gaul, right? My Majesty!" Hukochili raised his head, his eyes bright and said suddenly

"Yes, this is the real reason for sending you to Gaul Kyoto. Saron's mind is too rough, and he doesn't know much about military affairs. Only you are the most suitable person to go to Gaul Kyoto!" The fat man smiled with a smile. Grinning (to be continued...)
