: 1306 Battle of the Eastward Advance (2)

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 hard to resist the day after it was broken, the Falcon Empire's fierce offensive, let all The surrounding countries have to face up to the problem, that is, the most powerful Normandy in the region was wiped out by an inexplicable country in just a few months.
　　
　　 If someone predicted this before, it would be regarded as a neuropathy,
　　
Normandy has tens of thousands of soldiers in the northwestern region. The battle is fierce and brave. Several generals are fierce roles that stand alone. Such a military force may not be a big deal for the Gaul Empire, but these countries in Fujian, Normandy, The strength of the Principality of Romana is only about 10,000. The strength of the Principality of Dunkier is about 10,000. The strength of the Principality of Niesta is 10,000. The strength of the San Lorenzo Autonomous Leader is 10,000. The strength of the Normans is already obvious, although the Normans are in Saran. Germany has lost more than 10,000 elites, and there are thousands of local left-behind troops. Apart from the Principality of Dunkier, several other countries have no provocative strength.
　　
　　 is just such a military force, which has been wiped out in just a few months with the advantage of local operations. One can imagine the shock of various countries,
　　
The order of sending 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 stormy blood in the Normandy region. Now they are ready to rescue the Normandy people. I have no advantage at all,
　　
It is now a cruel winter, and countries are facing various kinds of food crises, large or small, and mobilizing their troops to enter Normandy. It is not easy to say that according to the decree of the empire, the aided army must also solve the food problem by itself. For many countries, it is nothing more than worse, even if the enemy is expelled from Normandy through hard work, these areas from the new restoration are also the Normans.
　　
Everyone was watching, and wanted to wait until the last moment of the exhaustion between the Normans and the Salanders, before they could maximize their profits, at least they could knock the Normans hard, but no one thought The Normans lost, and the defeat was so fast that many kingdoms were caught off guard.
　　
Just when Illu was captured, the Principality of Romana and Dunkiel, north of Salander, had just reached an agreement to send troops in the royal palace of the Principality of Romana, and secretly agreed to divide Normandy into the line of Alaman The two north and south merged,
　　
After hearing the news of the fall of Illu, the dukes of the two principalities stopped the name that was about to be signed, and stood up from their seats with their eyes blinded. Normandy is finished. Now in the area of ​​Normandy, for As far as the empire is concerned, it is nominally a land of no ownership, and whoever has the ability to get it is who it is! It’s a fool to still spend time here. In front of a big enough benefit, even a timid coward will quickly become a warrior.
　　
In the afternoon, the Principality of Romana, who couldn’t wait, ordered its 5,000 border guards to cross the border of Normandy. The 10,000 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 with Normandy. In the southwest, even the weakest self-employed San Lorenzo Do not hesitate to occupy several border towns that originally belonged to the Normans,
　　
　　For the troops of various countries that have already begun to move on the border, they occupied the Falcon Army in the south-central part of Normandy, and quickly contracted the originally spreading front. Instead of immediately launching a counterattack, they unexpectedly gave up some unimportant areas.
　　
Statunko ordered the Expeditionary Army of Posti, arming with Normandy Kyoto as the center of gravity, carrying enemies attacking from the southeast and the southwest, and the southern army's main force was sticking to the direction of Illu. The strong attack between the Principality of Seoul and the Principality of Romana, for a time, the northwest coast where the wind and the wind gathered, unexpectedly became the focus of a new hegemonic battle,
　　
The carriage traveled on the wide cobblestoned street, and the fled Norman Duke Carvibod opened the curtain of the carriage. His eyes were fixed on the huge white fountain flower bed in the center of the city street. The streets, the carriages that go around, and the children running happily on the roadside make this northwest owl who is not as good as a chicken feel a deep frustration.
　　
　　 This was once the scene 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, there is an expensive luxury red carpet. On both sides of the promenade are hundreds of evergreen pine trees that are also blue in winter. The huge stepped 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, a dazzling sea of ​​giant flowers forms on the lake’s water surface. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, no one can believe it. It’s cold now. Harsh winter, not playful spring
　　
　　 At this moment, the area where he is located is called Beyond County, a northeastern Normandy trade city, 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 nobles of the empire in the empire. Outside the land,
　　
Because they are not native to the empire, these private colonies do not need to pay tribute to the empire. The status of these private colonies is like a reserved area cultivated by the empire giants. Some people build them as military fortresses, and 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. This is also an important indicator of the identity of the imperial giants.
　　
　　 For example, the owner of the city, the Minister of Finance of the Empire, Prescott, his private envoys are as many as ⒕ in the entire empire, and the total area even exceeds Normandy. Although there is no name of the kingdom, it has the reality of the kingdom.
　　
Such a situation is not uncommon in the empire. For example, Secretary of State Miriam has a private seal, Webster of the Interior has 12 private seals, and Imperial Army Secretary Hokors has the most, with 23 private seals. It’s said that this old-fashioned military minister’s private seals are all camps and fortresses used to train soldiers. Therefore, the private armament of the Horcols family claims to be the empire’s first, with a population of tens of thousands. It is comparable to 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 you enter the inland of the empire from here, it only takes days to reach the first empire.

The carriage stopped in front of the huge white marble stairs. A waiter in a black dress with a serious look pulled open the door of the stopped carriage. The Norman Duke Cavibod, who died in the chaotic army, carried a complex He walked off the carriage and looked up at the huge building in front of him. He 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, obviously knowing Kawi Bod, and responded very carefully.
　　
　　 "Guest of the empire?" Kawei Bode's haggard face showed a surprise, he took out a gold placard from the cuff and handed it over. "Is it possible to ask, is it a VIP of that family?"
　　
　　 "This..." The embarrassed look 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 hard to stand here all day~EbookFREE.me~ A person who is diligent and responsible , Deserve the respect it deserves!"
　　
　　 "This is so polite!" The waiter picked up the bag with his hand and said with a short eyebrow. "Yes, I arrived 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, looking around, and found that there was no talent to say carefully "My master said that if the Duke can impress him, or maybe have the opportunity to return to the country, maybe"
　　
　　 "It turned out to be the Julius family who had not been moving for five years!"
　　
　　Cavebod’s face flashed a little horror. 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,
　　
　　 and is responsible for the strategy in the northwest region, it is the Fifth Regiment of the Julius Falbert of the Julius family,
　　
　　 It’s no wonder that even the owner of this family will say something like this,
　　
　　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 general manager of the empire’s northwest affairs for more than fifteen years.
　　
In terms of influence, just revealing a word to the outside will still shake the wind direction of the entire northwest, (to be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team @偶氏尊尊] If you like this work, welcome You come to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets, and your support is my biggest motivation. ) Bring @轩潇弄影
