Chapter 265 The Prologue of the War (1)

  Idar City, Lord's Castle.

   "嘤嘤嘤!"

   "Hmm hum——"

  "Cockle~Cockle~"

  When the publication of Idar’s daily newspaper caused an uproar in Idar, Bruno’s lord’s castle was surrounded by “chickens” and “dogs”.

  Puff crouched lazily beside Bruno, yawning lazily.

  With the movement of Bruno's right hand, his body made bursts of pleasant snoring sounds from time to time.

  In the study room.

  Two little griffins, about three to five months old, are jumping up and down. They are about the size of a cat or puppy at this time, and they are full of curiosity about the things around them.

finally,

   Accompanied by a burst of joyous hum, the last vase on the bookshelf was not spared, and after all, it declared the end of my life.

  The sound of the vase hitting the floor was exceptionally crisp. When the sound of the cracking of the vase reached her ears, Sarah Colum, who was slowly raising the glass, couldn't help but shiver.

  The brandy in the glass spilled out and dripped onto his heavy standard armor.

  Sara Colum worked hard to squeeze an extremely bright smile from his face, he raised his glass towards Bruno, and then drank it, as if to restrain his inner restlessness and tension.

  In that moment,

  The high brandy made his face flushed, and the acrimony and irritation from his throat made him speechless for a while.

  Bruno intimately pointed to the water glass on the side. Although he felt a bit rude, but driven by the joy and excitement that gradually filled his mouth, Sarah Colum drank the full glass of water.

   "My Lord Earl, this brandy... is indeed a good wine..." Sarah Kellen gasped.

   "When I go back, let someone carry a few boxes for you." Bruno smiled.

   "That feeling is good!"

  It’s just...

  Even though she was very surprised by the taste of the brandy, Sarah Colum couldn't help but lock her eyes on the little guys jumping up and down in the study...and the giant monster that was crawling beside Bruno.

The pale golden eagle feathers, the snow-white animal hair, the staring eyes, strong limbs, and sharp claws are all telling Sara Kellen an unbelievable but firm fact that this is a... …

  Gryphon!

  Although everyone has hairs on their bodies, the unique coat color and strong appearance of Griffins can tell at a glance what kind of existence it is.

  As an imperial general guarding the Mann fortress, Sarah Coron, who had a fairly good background, naturally heard of this magical creature that only appeared in the music and travel notes of those troubadours.

  It’s just that, if you have seen it with your own eyes, this is the first time!

   Fierce, flexible, persevering, persistent...

The story about the Griffin has been circulated in the streets of the Norman Empire for a long time, but Sarah Coron never thought that he would encounter this legend for the first time in the study of Earl Idar. Magic creatures in.

happy?

  If you just look at the two griffon cubs exploring around, Sarah Coron may feel particularly excited.

Except for the big eyes and pale yellow beaks on their faces, these two young griffins are like very chubby little orange cats. The wings on their backs are only small and missing, which fits perfectly." Ten orange cats, nine are fat, and there is a description of "especially fat", people can't help but want to rush up and give them a hand.

but……

   Feeling the glance of the adult griffon crawling beside Bruno from time to time, Sarah Coron felt that her heart was hairy.

   Fierce, vigilant.

  Although the griffin has always been a lazy appearance, the heroic majesty and domineering side of the adult griffin can't be concealed anyway.

  Even just a look can make Sarah Coron look like a big enemy.

   "Puffs!"

   Seems to be aware of Sarah Collen’s tension, Bruno yelled softly, and then continued to move the feathers of the adult griffin. The soft fur made Bruno love it.

  Sara Kellen was shocked to see that after Bruno’s voice, the adult griffon actually lowered his head quite humanely, no longer looking at himself, but letting Bruno move and caress.

   "Bo...Earl, this is a Griffin, isn't it?" Sarah Coron asked nervously.

  Hearing this, Bruno nodded.

  Sara Colum was naturally seen by Bruno, and this is exactly what Bruno's purpose is!

  Since Idar's next initiative to take the lead has been basically determined, Bruno will naturally start a series of arrangements accordingly.

  The distribution of the newspaper is like this, and this meeting with Sarah Coron. The same is true.

  Because there is not much time left for Bruno!

  With the arrival of the new year, the bleak cold wind in the winter has gradually receded, and after more than a month's work, the annual spring plowing season is about to come.

  No matter how slow the speed of information transmission in this world is, the news that Odin’s army has broken down in Idar should have been passed on.

after all……

  What Idarling hides is only the way they won the war and the weapons and equipment they used in the war.

  The news of the victory over the Odins, but under Bruno’s instruction, has been widely publicized and widely spread among the Idars to inspire the Idars’ confidence in the war.

  There is no doubt that the business travellers to and from Idar will spread these news far away and gradually attract the attention of Odin’s army.

at the same time,

  Spring plowing is also an important node.

For the Odin people who are already in short supply of food~lightnovelpub.net~, the upcoming spring plowing is a precious opportunity that must not be let go. As long as the ruler of Odin, Alio O’Sullivan, is not a fool, he It must and must completely take down the vast land in the eastern part of the empire before the end of spring farming.

  This is also the case, and he can guarantee that this war-torn land can provide sufficient food for the Odin Empire in the next year.

  And for Bruno, the same is true.

  Since Bruno has decided to take the land in the eastern part of the empire, he must end the battle before the end of spring ploughing.

  Because if you missed the spring ploughing, even if the food output of Idarling had already more than doubled or tripled, it would not be possible to feed the hundreds of thousands of people in the eastern part of the empire.

   To ensure the smooth realization of this goal, Bruno also needs an extremely stable rear.

so……

  The nearly 1,000 imperial soldiers who guarded the Mann Fortress led by the imperial general Sarah Kellen became the largest independent military force in the eastern part of the empire in addition to the Idar and Odin army.

  And this is a problem that Bruno wants to solve early.
