Chapter 992
The sunny day is rising, and it is long and leisurely, like a thunderous dragon roar awakening the sleeping Jufeng Mountain.
When everyone in the camp at the foot of the mountain rubbed their sleepy eyes and was awakened and walked out of the tent, what they saw in front of them was a sight they would never forget for a lifetime!
Azure, golden, silver, crimson, dark purple...row upon row, there is often even one giant dragon that is rarely seen, but today there are so many big dragons!
The wings are raised horizontally, baring fangs and brandishing claws, soaring up and down the clouds between the mountain tops; the roar of the dragon makes people feel as if the soul is trembling and dancing.
next moment, the roaring giant dragons break through the clouds, taking the center of Jufeng Mountain, driving the sky and flying towards all directions.
In the camp of astonishment, there was dead silence at first, and then cheers no less than dragon roar broke out!
Especially many refugees and Legion soldiers in East Sackland-if Eboden and Byrnes are only surprised, they are shocked.
In the legend and history of their ancestors for generations, only two have seen giant dragons rolling into the clouds, dancing on the top of Jufeng Mountain-and each time, it indicates that they are about to arrive in the empire. A turning point in fate.
The first time is the second life generation, the "great conquest" of His Majesty Eckhart I;
The second time is the sixth generation "sage" Brandon I Your Majesty is determined to go north and fight to the death with Evil God and monsters in the Valley of Blood Skeletons;
Any time after that, even when the tenth generation of heroes gather, "Queen of Mad Dragon" and "Black Duke" cross the empire , There has never been such a sight.
In the hearts of the East Sacklanders who were named "Dragon Wang Family" in the Imperial Family and used the giant dragon to control the empire, the destiny of the empire and the giant dragon are linked; every time a giant The actions and abnormalities of the dragons were regarded by the superstitious "East Sackland Countrymen" as a sign of the fate of the empire.
The giant dragon of Jufeng Mountain once again "come out of the nest", which also indicates that the empire will once again usher in a turning point in its destiny; as long as it can win the victory, the empire will once again have a full six generations. brilliant!
"Really going?"
At the foot of the mountain, Brandon, standing on the Floating Void City parapet, stuck his waist, looking at the black hair wizard with disappointment: " It’s not okay to stay for a few more days—Dressis and my Legion will go south for a while, and there are few under my hand that can fight."
"With you here, at least don’t worry about this group. mob was crushed by the private soldiers of the rebellious nobles."
"Forget it, I will only give those imperial nobles more reasons to resist you." The black hair wizard shrugged. , Didn’t take Brandon’s words seriously:
"Let a Duke of Byrne direct the rebellion in East Sackland...unless you are really going to slaughter this place."
>"What's more, if I don't go back, who will prepare the funds for the next counter-insurgency?"
The prince's expression collapsed when he heard this, and he looked down at his eyes with a sad expression. Camp.
Yes, if this continues without waiting for the end of the rebellion, you will have to be eaten alive by this group of people!
In fact, there are already signs of this...just relying on the supplies brought from Eboden, I can barely support it; when the food runs out, it is impossible not to kill.
"Well, it looks like that can only be done." Reluctantly shrugged, Brandon chuckled at the corners of his mouth unwillingly: "You can go home now, my wizard advisor."
"But don't be too easy...At the latest tomorrow, spring will start, and you will be so busy that your feet will not touch the ground."
The expressions of the two of them became more solemn at the same time.
"The Minister of Military Affairs, my dear Servi Uncle Lin and Grand Duke Yuli Wertz of Allemans are currently blocking the border with Eboden—according to my Imperial Brother’s habit, he will not have We are absolutely sure that we will never fight a decisive battle with the enemy, especially the lone army that has no way of retreat."
"And the battle on the front line of Lothar Deep Limburg is very unsuitable for large-scale Legion unfolding, regardless of whether the enemy is the same; Imperial Brother will provide a little assistance and logistics at most, and will not be stupid enough to go to the battlefield."
So this winter, will it be the final truce?
Stunned, Loren probably understood Brandon's meaning.
Although Connold's "full-scale war mobilization" was almost a "total failure" under the intervention of the nobles of the empire, it exposed not only the nobles, but also the problems of the empire itself.
To put it simply, the peaceful time has passed for too long, and there is no "full mobilization" preparation from top to bottom.
From the 11th, 12th, and 13th generations after the "Crazy Dragon Queen", they have never experienced the threats that would threaten the survival of the entire empire as before; even if it is the invasion of monsters, Centaur invasion or dwarven kingdom turmoil... often just mobilize one or two Duchy's armies, and send at most three or five Legions to solve the problem.
So this time "Sackland Riot", what Connold saw was not only the lack of cooperation from the nobles, but also that the empire was not mentally prepared to fully mobilize the entire empire. What is the war potential of the United States to be launched.
Such a grand occasion is definitely not relying on an order from the Imperial Capital; it is a grand event that requires the Imperial Family to cooperate with each duchy, cooperate with each other to reach a tacit understanding, and do their best to complete!
The problem now is that the Azorean elves on the opposite side have probably completed such a full mobilization-otherwise they would not be able to transport two armies with more than 100,000 troops so easily. The sea of mist, and it looks like there will be reinforcements afterwards.
But the empire has not yet.
So Connold’s plan is probably to take advantage of the time of closing the port throughout the winter, on the one hand to blockade the invading enemies, to gain respite; on the other hand, to complete the mobilization preparation within the empire, especially the middle level. , Wait until the beginning of spring and then in a spurt of energy, fight the enemy decisively.
After all, as the defensive party, the empire still has a geographical advantage, and can more easily gather superior forces to separate and annihilate the invading enemies.
As for the specific plan, Brandon's next plan can also be roughly seen.
Externally, reached a tacit understanding with several duchy, rebuilt the "Knights of the Royal Sword" to win hearts of the people, and protect the interests of the dukes; internally, indulge Brandon to eradicate dissidents and consolidate East Sacrament; In Imperial Capital, they dealt with the upper-class nobles and the churches to win their support.
Well, it's really full of wishful thinking.
"So you really plan to follow Connold's idea so obediently?"
"Of course, it's good for me anyway, why not?" Brandon shrugged Shrugging, a posture of as it should be by rights, and sighed with emotion: "After all, this is all for Desalion...and the empire."
Looking at "suddenly becoming honest" Brandon, even if he had seen it once, Loren still looked stunned.
No, so mature and calm, the "shameful prince" who takes care of the overall situation is really against the peace!
Really...what is he getting excited by?
"What's the matter with you, is this expression again?" Brandon raised his brows in doubt, then his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth were raised in surprise: "Is it possible that I am mature and calm." , Gu Quan’s overall performance was shocked?!"
"..."Loren Torino.
"Aiya, don't be so sorry-I know, many times my growth and performance will exceed people's imagination. It is normal to be surprised, nothing special."
The eyebrows danced, and the prince made an unabashed expression: "Well, do you seem to think I am particularly reliable and confident now? Is there such a little bit, um... the impulse to stay with me? "
"...bye."
The expressionless black hair wizard turned around and walked into Floating Void City without looking back.
"Hey, wait, wait, why are you so anxious, can I apologize if I was wrong?!"
Lose one's head out of fear, Brandon , And immediately showed its original shape.
Loren, who stopped and didn't turn around, turned his head indifferently.
"Okay..." His Royal Highness, who scratched his head and looked at Loren's expression, immediately understood: "Take care, by the way, remember to say hello to Charlotte and say...Uh..."
"Forget it... I don't think I will say anything, it may make her like me a little bit."
Nodded, which the black hair wizard approves very much.
The sound of Floating Void City started and slowly lifted off.
On Jufeng Mountain in the distance, the roar of giant dragons rang again.
The sound is like thunder.
…………………………
The road from East Sacrament to Byrne Duchy is connected by Dao Idol, the big four.
Because she hadn’t notified Charlotte about Jufeng Mountain in advance—in fact, it was even the Battle of Eboden, and didn’t remember to inform her until after the fight—so Loren, who was "especially guilty", did not. Dare to delay half a minute, the entire team immediately "divides into three paths" after arriving at the border.
Loren himself took the only remaining hundred wings of the sky to hunt Fiend, riding along the Sifang Avenue at full speed, bypassing all the towns and fortresses in the way, and rushed directly to the Scarlet Blood Castle;
And the fully armed Byrne Knight, led by count Eckert in the Castle of Fury, played a banner, a castle and a town, the result of the Battle of Eboden, and the news of "The Survival of the Duke of Byrne" All over Byrne;
In the end, all the wounded soldiers, wizards, and Eboden refugees who did not want to follow Brandon, followed to Byrne, were all arranged on Floating Void City, slowly Arrive behind, so as not to slow down the marching speed.
With the blessing of such "advance lightly", Loren crossed the three count collars in only two days, and arrived at the border of the Scarlet Blood Castle in the afternoon of the 3rd day.
Looking at the vast fields of farmland, the exquisite windmill gardens and the lush and green vineyards, the black hair wizard who is very nervous inside is finally relaxed.
I rushed back so desperately, and the trip to Jufeng Mountain was a last resort for sudden occurrence. All the explanations are explained...this time, Charlotte won't get angry anymore... right?
Looking at the Crimson Blood Castle halfway up the mountainside in the distance, Loren's cheeks twitched instinctively.
It is the winter season, even the Scarlet Blood Castle in the south can already see the traces of the cold wind-there are already large tracts of golden in the wheat fields, and so are the jungles in the wilderness. The light green mixed with red and yellow is more gorgeous than in midsummer.
It’s just that it’s already winter, isn’t it too busy on the road outside the city?
The road not far down the mountain has been crowded by farmers, travelers, caravans, carriages, and pedestrians of all kinds; most of them are moving. Towards the direction of Scarlet Blood Fort, there were also many merchants who set up stalls on the side of the road and eagerly sold them.
Such a "temporary market" actually spread from the tavern farthest outside the castle to the town outside the city wall of the Scarlet Blood Castle. It stretched for several miles and was completely blocked.
And when the surprised black hair wizard and Lucien arrived outside the castle, they saw ten times more lively than the streets outside the city—hundreds of them, multi-colored. The swallowtail flag is hung on the city wall as an ornament; the market in the town is already a vast crowd.
Every tavern is full, every hotel is full of people, every carriage is blocked in the crowd... At first glance, it looks like all the Bayern people have recorded it. In this town!
"Holy Cross..." Lu Sien, who was already unable to walk, looked at the "crowd" in front of him in a daze and muttered to himself: "What kind of celebration is this...? The Midsummer Festival is going to be lively?"
"The Midsummer Festival...how could this year's Midsummer Festival be related to this mention on equal terms?!" A businessman walking in front of them was surprised when he heard his words. Overdone:
"This is a major event that caused a sensation in the whole Byrne—the counts of the thirteen collars...well, except for the count of the Fortress of Fury, who was marching with the duke, all came here specially!"
"What the hell is that for?" The gray pupil was puzzled.
"Well... there are two things in total." Seeing that Lu Sien is an outsider, the businessman immediately began to talk: "First of all, of course, to celebrate the Duke's victory in Eboden, alone. Defeating the army of millions of Azores elves, this is a feat that none of the Knights in the previous dynasties has, and even the emperor of De Salion can't match it!"
"Look, they are not a hurry to invite. The Duke went to Jufeng Mountain to chat and laugh with the giant dragons-otherwise, what else could praise our Duke for such a great achievement?!"
"..."
Twitching his throat, Lu Sien cautiously glanced at the black hair wizard behind him: "Then...what about the second thing?"
"The second one, of course, is the wedding!" So, can there be anything bigger than a wedding in this world?!"
"The female count of the Scarlet Blood Castle, um...it should be said that the Round Table Council officially announced that it will be celebrating the Duke’s triumphant banquet An unprecedented grand wedding was held last year, to add more elegance to this glorious day!"
"Wedding?" Lucian scratched his head: "Whose wedding?"
"Whose wedding, and whose wedding can you still be-you didn't mean it?" The businessman stared wide-eyed, looked around and coughed several times:
"Although there is not yet It’s officially announced, but my wife’s younger brother, his second cousin, a second-class cook in the Red Blood Castle, was ordered to make a Sackland Pigeon Pie-you know, this can only appear at the Emperor’s wedding in the Sky Palace. Delicious food, so the protagonist of this wedding......"
"Of course it is our Lord Duke!"
