Feishan Capital

　　

　　 The brightly lit Gulat banquet hall, in the window made of white marble, the bright moon hangs in the half sky, piercing through the clouds like tulle, and throwing a piece of silver to the ground below. On the balcony extending from the hall, an old man in exquisite dress is gazing deeply at the city in front of him. The white hair on the head is illuminated by the moonlight, and the roots are translucent and the night is dark. Wanjia lights appeared in front of them, far and near, and the dense lights spread like the ocean, until the sky beyond the horizon, the stars blinked on the ground, the night fog was like smoke, hazy, and flickering. The night wind of Xixi blows on the face, bringing the breath of late summer. Time seems to feel no time here, only the heart of the old man is beating with the rhythm of the earth

　　

　　 "Your Majesty! Are you looking for me?"

　　

A middle-aged man wearing a big red Feishan officer uniform appeared in the back. The middle-aged man had a high cheekbones and long, narrow eyes. The tall nose showed a noble atmosphere that was different from the Central European Baro. Moving with a sharp voice, standing there was like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, but at this moment, this sharp sword seems to have lost its sharpness,

　　

　　 "Pastanon"

　　

The old man turned around, his gaze paused on the middle-aged man, and his face froze slightly. "As the only one in the kingdom of Feishan who once fought in the battle between the southern and non-southern countries and saw the true strength of the Falcon Emperor, I don’t think your previous argument at the meeting was wrong, but it’s very undesirable to emphasize the power of the enemy and ignore your own strength! Tell me, are you really so confident about this battle and the emperor?

　　

"His Majesty" Duke Pastanon hesitated, and said, "The power of the Falcon Empire is obvious to all. This is a powerful empire that occupies almost one-half of the Western mainland and spans the vast area of ​​Obaro in the north-central part. It has become a big stone on the minds of all contemporary soldiers. Although I have the advantage, but to be honest, at this time, fighting with the Falcon Empire, it is really..." Pastanon's words stopped, for a while. Know what to say,

　　

　　 "Not optimistic, is it?" The old man's old eyes narrowed a line, revealing a terrifying breath

　　

"Yes, my subordinates really don't like it!" Pastanon said with courage and courage. "Since our army defeated the Istan Army, the entire Feishan Kingdom is like a long-suppressed blowout. Victory, victory, victory, The battle report from the front is the same, not only nobles, soldiers, even an ordinary Fissan people will not hesitate to believe that the Istanians have reached a desperate situation, and Feishan is not afraid of any opponents. Even Istan Hundreds of thousands of people have been beaten down, and there is something else that Fei Shan has to fear, and this kind of mentality is the most frightening!"

　　

　　 "Is it true? Isn't it good for the whole country to get up and down? Why do you think so?"

　　

　　 The old man looked calmly into the distance. The towering city walls, the old city walls are covered with leafy vines. In the places where vines are scarce. Mottled traces are revealed. The vicissitudes of history are deeply recorded. Some granite bars have been turned into a dark mass. Obviously you can see the traces of worn out, and some places have already Being smashed seems to be the trace left by the war that took place many years ago. It gives a deep sense of shock. From this, it can be seen that the environment of King Feishan is absolutely not related to comfort and ease. I even felt a little bit hard,

　　

"Your Majesty, although I don't know how to express it, according to what I saw in the southern part of Gangfei, the strength of the emperor cannot be viewed with conventional eyes!" Pastanon looked hesitantly and took a deep breath. He said in one breath: "At the Yuqian Military Conference just held, this top-down state of self-confidence was shocking. Most generals of the Ministry of Military Affairs said that the Istanians are no longer afraid. There is nothing wrong with the Kingdom’s real confidant that is still entrenched in the coastal area of ​​100,000 Falcon Emperors, but from the top down, it is thought that it can easily destroy these 100,000 Emperors, it is a big mistake!"

　　

"Assembling troops before the Falcon Empire has come and responded, is it right to eliminate this huge hidden danger in one fell swoop?" The old man's eyebrows were slightly frowned, his hands folded, and he walked back and forth on the balcony for a few steps. He also looked at it. The combat report sent by the military department didn't seem to have any problems at first, but it was only after seeing that there was no Pastanon's name in the position of the general's signature, it made people find Pastanon. After all, The only one who really played against the Falcon Emperor was Pastanon in the Feishan Army.

　　

　　 Faced with this report full of fanaticism, the old man felt the sense of crisis with his years of experience.

　　

Pastanon smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the suggestion sounds good, but your Majesty knows that just five days ago, the main idea of ​​the Ministry of Military Affairs was just to force the 100,000 emperors to evacuate, and to fight the Falcon Empire. , Still maintaining a cautious attitude, is not the annihilation, elimination, etc. that are now pervading the entire report. It is full of words with overconfidence. The whole report is written as if it were the Falcon opposite if our army entered. The Emperor would surrender or flee by himself! This is a very terrible idea. Once the whole army is like this, the consequences will be unimaginable."

　　

Pastanon's voice paused, and he continued with a dignified face. "The battle in the Great Lakes region in southern Africa was just a part of his subordinates who had witnessed firsthand how excellent the fighting power of the Falcon Emperor was. The number of emperors on the opposite side didn't even reach 40,000, but it was these 40,000 emperors, who stunned the two hundred thousand coalition forces to the death place with one day and one night! If the position of the subordinate and the emperor were reversed, the subordinates thought they would not At this point, and this time, we are facing 100,000 emperors, and there are warships of the Imperial Navy on the sea. According to the coastal terrain, it is impossible to conquer in a short time. I don’t know who gave it. The generals have such full confidence! If you let the main force of the kingdom with such thoughts go to the battlefield, your subordinates will not dare to think about what the consequences will be!"

　　

　　 "What you said really makes sense!"

　　

The old man's face was slightly silent. In fact, the old man's eyes were farther and more thorough than Pastanon saw. The reason for this trend is very clear. It is because the nobility, because they feel that victory is within reach, the nobility has been restless Unbearable at first. So much so that the use of influence has caused the entire kingdom to begin to favor war

　　

"Those Falcon Emperors are like vultures entrenched in carrion. If you don't give them a bit of a look, these guys will not take the initiative to leave the coastal area!" Every day outside the gate of the Ministry of Justice, there will be crowds from all walks of life During the gathering, the nobles also petitioned His Majesty the King and the Ministry of Military Affairs on a large scale. The streets and alleys were filled with slogan lists. "The Falcon Empire is not an ally, it is an enemy, it is a robber!"

　　

　　 "Driving robbers and returning my home"

　　

　　 Various slogans are written on the street wall. The entrances of shops along the street are also covered with such things. For the Fissan nationals who have just defeated their enemies, the Istanians, and the whole country is indulging in the powerful argument, they learned that the Falcon Emperor was entrenched in the coastal area and refused to leave. The eagle empire broke out, and the staff and officers who came to and from the military department also had a bit of hatred towards the falcon empire, and as a high-ranking military department, few kept a copy Calm Pastanon. Nature has also become an alternative in everyone's eyes,

　　

　　 "Okay, you go back first, I want to be quiet!"

　　

　　 The old man waved his hand. His eyes fell on a huge pointed object in the center of the city with a ray of contemplation, and he asked secretly, Is he really wrong?

　　

　　 That is the Nagurat Monument that has been standing in the capital of King Feishan for 900 years, commemorating the founder of Feishan Kingdom. Thousands of years ago, the last prince of the Fiya dynasty, Nagurat, the prince's nephew at the end of the Fiya dynasty, was deprived of the prince due to rebellion. Sentenced to serve in one of the most difficult areas of the time

　　

　　 Gurat, now the capital of King Feishan,

　　

　　 It was a bitter cold place where the dynasty used to exile political enemies a thousand years ago. The history of King Feishan's capital was also counted from a semi-prison called Fort Gurat at that time.

　　

At that time, the huge Feiya dynasty fell apart overnight, and the princes of the central area jumped up. As the exile of the dynasty and the barrier of the Gulat Fort, it is the only area that has not been affected. This piece seems to be flat, but it is actually a strangulation field for the entire front line of the eastern dynasty

　　

Because the natural environment is much worse than in the Central Europe Baro region, Gulat Fort is often attacked by the Numans from the East. Thousands of people are killed in battle almost every year. People sent here often don’t need to In a few years, they will all be replaced in batches. There are nobles who have turned the death penalty, thieves, robbers, tax resisters, and criminals who attacked the nobility. These people constitute the two criminal corps of the Feiya Dynasty. The main responsibilities of the criminal corps are Fight against the Numans east of Fort Gulat,

　　

The Numans were a barbarian who had risen strongly in the east of the dynasty. At that time, the Istanians were only a small officer of the Numan king. The Numan soldiers were strong and powerful. Since their rise, they have swept thousands of square kilometers in the east. It is the biggest enemy of the Pheasant dynasty in the east. The princes can ignore the existence of this sensitive area, because whoever occupied Fei Shan, it is equal to the position of the eastern barrier.

　　

It was during this period that the Feishan people constantly absorbed the power to escape from the split dynasty, with extraordinary perseverance and courage, against the Numan people in the east, and resisting the influence of the disintegration of the dynasty in the west, and eventually developed in this cracked area, even if As time passed by, thousands of years passed, and the Feishan people were all living with the remnants of the Phaya dynasty. There is a huge monument in the center of the capital. The name of the last prince of the Phaya dynasty is engraved on it.

　　

　　 Pastanon looked back respectfully to the door and looked at the old man’s back before turning around and leaving. Tomorrow, there will be a very important meeting of the Ministry of Military Affairs,

　　

"The emperor's combat strength cannot be underestimated. Although the strength is only one hundred thousand, they are elite clusters that have been battle-hardened. They chose to go to war with the empire. Fei Shan's chances of winning are still very small..." Pastanon generously The words, with a firm look, raised objections at the internal meeting of the Ministry of Military Affairs, "When is it? Isn't it clear that the situation is still happening? At this time, people who are still singing strong enemies are simply because everyone is the enemy?" Whispering a dissatisfaction

　　

　　 "Oh, some people are like this. What they dare not do will also prevent others from doing so!"

　　

Pastanon listened to the discussion and sat down coldly, stating that his position would never be shaken, "As the undersecretary of the military department, I will not sign that report!" Join as Fei Shan The person in charge of the Central European Baro Army participating in the Battle of the Great Lakes region, although decisively choosing to evacuate, was not affected by the fiasco of the Great Lakes War, but the reputation of escaping from the battle could not be ran. , This is a stain that cannot be erased in a short time. Because of this influence, Pastanon was dismissed from his post when he returned to the country.

　　

　　 And the reason for its use is self-evident, that is, the Feishan Military Department needs a person who understands the Falcon Emperor. In the high level that meets this point, only Pastanon!

　　

　　 It's just that no one thought that Pastanon showed such a big opposition to the war with the empire. It really seemed to be frightened to the soul. When it was mentioned that the war with the falcon empire would be trembling! All kinds of remarks started. For some generals who had pity on Prisnon at the beginning, Pastanon's image now looks like a traitor! Naturally, Pastanon’s position in the Ministry of Military Affairs is also isolated. There is almost no willingness to express his support. The generals’ eyes seem to be diverted from Pastanon by coincidence, as if nothing was seen. Discuss one after another,

　　

　　 "It seems. The battle in the Great Lakes region in southern Africa has scared some people's courage, so that as a Fei Shan soldier, he chose to stand still in the face of such a century-old opportunity!" A sharp and mean voice. Straight through the eardrums of Pastanon, a tall General Fei Shan. He stood up indignantly and looked at the other people. "When I hate my soldiers for courage, such a coward whispered in the ear, ridiculous! If only a coward timidly gave up the plan. Then I will choose to use my own reputation Ways to maintain the dignity of being a soldier!"

　　

　　 "You!" Pastanon looked at the general, his complexion turned pale, and his angry body shivered slightly. Hands clenched unnaturally,

　　

"Isn't it? Isn't Lord Pastanon clear that if we can't drive away the Falcon Emperor and can't get back our belongings, then, what else do we soldiers like to face the Chinese and your majesty! What is the difference between victory and insult!"

　　

　　 General Fei Shan's voice actually caused a support voice below

　　

"This is a military meeting that determines the future of the Kingdom. There is no question of who insults anyone. Everyone is a soldier. Everyone’s starting point is for the Kingdom! I hope everyone can restrain." It is a fair-skinned middle-aged person who makes a voice. The face is very upright, with a red General Feishan uniform, the towering neckline is adorned with golden vines, and there are three blue bars on the cuffs, indicating that it is the identity mark of the Feishan Military Department, and looks handsome. , At the same level as Pastanon, with a touch of unkindness in a calm tone, not to mention a pair of sharp eyes under two delicate eyebrows, the undisguised contempt,

　　

　　 He is the other of the three ministers of the Feishan Military Department, the Duke of the Caliphate, the 43-year-old Kingdom Hawk who is said to be behind the scenes of various public opinion

　　

"California, am I right?" Seeing that it was Caliphbia that the general Fei Shan sat down again, it is no wonder that the generals' caliber is very consistent. Alluring, salivating,

　　

The Kingdom of Feishan adopted slavery. According to this system, who can seize the coastal area and **** the ports that are fighting for gold from the Falcon Emperor can be regarded as the spoils of this battle and enter their own personal wallets. Moreover, everyone knows that this time the Istanian army retreated, and 80% of the large amount of materials and treasures temporarily discarded fell into the hands of the Falcon Emperor. To know how huge this wealth is,

　　

The Istanian army attacked the imperial imperial Kyoto westward, and it took half a month to burn and kill the looting. The looted gold and jewels were piled together, and a full length of 50 to 60 meters and a height of 10 meters were displayed. The gold jewelry word tower, the Istan emperor Thoradin I once raised the whip from this jewelry mountain and pointed at this jewelry mountain, promising to all the Istanian soldiers, as long as they captured the capital of the enemy Feisan , This jewelry gold mountain is a reward, and then the Istan army attacked the Kingdom of Feishan, its ferocity is absolutely rare in a century,

　　

The looting of the Ottomans by occupying the Fissan region has reached the point of scraping three feet, burning and looting along the way, destroying towns, and destroying villages. According to the conservative estimates of the Feisan nobles, the total value of their looted wealth is also the least At more than 20 million gold coins, this is not counted as the huge amount of materials that are enough to make the Feishan nobles hold a winter banquet when the winter is coming. In the face of such interests, how to prevent the Feishan army from hearting, this In order to gather counterattack forces, the Kingdom of Feishan recruited almost all the nobles of the entire kingdom~lightnovelpub.net~ and some of the private forces formed by these nobles, and the promise made by whoever can defeat the Istanian army The materials and materials obtained as rewards,

　　

"Now when the front line is singing forward and winning a full victory, even the fierce Istanians are not the same as ours! The empire's strength in the battlefield of Feishan is not more than 100,000. Facing me, Feishan's 400,000 army , It must also be scared to move together and dare not move. "Feishan nobleman ran back and forth in the military. Before such a huge benefit, even the military who had been cautious before would change the wind direction. Stan's property is all involved, how to be reconciled!

　　

Halfway through the meeting, a rushed officer interrupted the progress of the meeting. The officer handed a report to Minister Fei Shan, who was sitting on the throne, and whispered, "There is urgent news from the coastal area, hunting The Eagle Emperor fought without a declaration, the 7th and 8th Army were trapped, and the 9th Army went to rescue. There is no further news!"

　　

"What!" Suddenly Fei Shan's face suddenly changed, and looked up at Pastanon with anger, just as Pastanon was puzzled, the Secretary of the Army threw the finished report at In front of him, he groaned angrily, "Look what this is! The Falcon Emperor fought without declaration, the two legions of the kingdom are trapped, and tens of thousands of kingdom warriors are bathing in the blood, and we are still discussing here whether we can fight !, Lord Pastanon, this is all because of your blessings!"
