Chapter 313: The Beacon of the South (Ⅰ)

Poor Mr. James, who fled back to Port Leiden from the Brass Pass, immediately complained to the governor at that time about the humiliation imposed on him by the sea-blue man, and asked his Excellency the governor to seek justice for him.
The Governor-General was deeply concerned about the expansion of the maritime colonists in the south, and he reported the matter to the imperial government, requesting the imperial authorities to send more troops to the colony of Alfheim to maintain border security.
The empire authorities had not yet decided whether to increase troops, and the news reached Musbelheim, and the rumor was seriously deviated from the facts.
At that time, the governor of Musbelheim mistakenly thought that the imperial army was about to go south, and intended to use the brass valley as a "springboard" to conquer Musbelheim and expel the blue colonists from the area.
The nervous Governor's Excellency appealed to the mother government for help. At the same time, he summoned all the troops in his hand and sent them to the Brass Valley to strengthen the border defense against the legendary imperial army that will soon be sent south.
The Brass Valley thus became a "powder storehouse".
Yalfheim and Musbelheim, the border forces of both sides, considered each other as a "despicable aggressor". First, small-scale conflicts occurred, then the conflicts intensified, and finally a local war was triggered.
Because the fuse of this war was the ear that businessman James had been cut off, it was also called the "James Ear War."
At the beginning of the war, the Alfheim border guards retreated, and the colonial capital Leiden was about to be surrounded by navy forces. Fortunately, Sir Dantrich Castis stepped forward and led a cavalry in a row. Joining the enemy formation, beheading the commander of the Navy, and lifting the siege of Port Leiden, he then led the army to expel the Navy to the south of Brass Pass, forcing the Navy authorities to take the initiative of a truce, and actually won the war.
After the "James Ear War" ended, the two colonies of Alfheim and Mossbelheim maintained peace for 14 years. Until the beginning of July this year, the situation on the border became tense again.
General Jumonville, the new garrison commander of the Musbelheim colony, is an ambitious young aristocrat. As soon as he took office this spring, he changed the layout of the original garrison commander and pushed the border guards two hundred miles north. A military fortress called "Dukenberg" was built in the Copper Valley.
It is still controversial whether Durkenburg’s area belongs to Alfheim or Mossberheim. Over the years, both sides have deliberately avoided military activities on the ground, lest triggering a border conflict.
General Jumonville did the opposite, and the Alfheim authorities could only consider him to be provocative.
Just a week ago, Sir John Norfolk, Governor of the Asan-based Alfheim colony, publicly protested the move of General Jumonville, reaffirming that the Brass Valley belonged legally to Alfheim and sent a special envoy Sending a letter to Duquesne, demanding that the local maritime garrison immediately evacuate the Brass Valley and restore the local tradition of "demilitarized zone"
However, just yesterday, Sir Norfolk’s envoy returned to the Port of Leiden in disgrace, conveying the attitude of General Louis Jumonville.
The noble general of navy origin came to entertain the envoy kindly, but when the envoy made Sir Norfolk's appeal, he refused firmly and steadfastly, and claimed that he was only "fulfilling his mission to defend the country."
As soon as the matter was seen in the newspaper, it immediately set off an uproar in the Port of Leiden and became a hot topic for discussion in major newspapers and social circles.
However, when Sir Norfolk was deeply irritated by General Jumonville’s provocation, another bad news came from the southern border-a large group of jackal robbers entered from the Brass Pass and burned and robbed all the way along the Dring Valley. !
Residents and business travelers from the South were deeply affected, and letters from the bandits were rushing in like snow flakes.
Jackals are natives of the Brass Mountains and usually only live in the Gobi area of ​​Yalfheim. Now they suddenly cross the pass and enter the Dring Valley. Even Joan, who is not sensitive to the current situation, can see the mystery.
Jackals want to go north to plunder, they must first pass the border of the sea blue people; on the other hand, if the jackals go north to the Delin Valley smoothly, there must be a sea blue military instigation behind them.
Joan could not care about the far east tax resistance movement across the meteorite ocean, but he had to worry about the border dispute secretly provoked by the Jackals and the Navy. After all, his hometown of Delin was at the forefront of the dispute.
If the Jackals flow along the north of the Dring Valley, his hometown will be looted sooner or later.
Holding the newspaper, Joan became more anxious and decided to go to Major Vasa immediately to find out how the military would respond to the threat from the south.
When Joan came to Vernon Hills on Sunday afternoon, George Vassar had just returned from the city and was instructing his servants to pack their luggage.
As soon as he met, Joan found out that he was wearing a long-lost military uniform and a collar flower representing the rank of major.
"Mr. Vasa, congratulations on your return to office."
"Don’t be so polite, in fact, the first thing I should be grateful for is my reinstatement. When I was in the wild boar island to participate in the hunting competition, thanks to the hunting of the Prince of Razor, I helped me complete the test set by General Gates, otherwise I don’t know How long will it take before I can wear this military uniform back."
After hearing the emotions of Major Vaasa, Joan recalled that General Edward Gates, the commander of the Port of Leiden, had asked Madame Martha to offer Major Vassar a condition: if he could successfully hunt in this year's hunting competition When he killed the "Prince of Razor", he recommended his restoration to the Governor Sir Norfolk, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
Now that I saw Vassar wearing back his military uniform, I hurriedly ordered my servants to pack my luggage. It seemed that I was going to go far. It was obvious that General Gates was very trustworthy and fulfilled his promise without any discount. Where to go to work.
"Mr. Vassar, are you busy packing up, are you going back to the Knight's Camp in Dring Valley?" Joan asked rather reluctantly.
"The first stop is indeed to return to the military camp. It has been almost half a year since I left. I really miss my old man Nathaniel and the boys in the camp. I hope they are all well." Major Vasa said happily.
Joan nodded thoughtfully.
Major Nathaniel Green is a close friend of Vaasa.
Vasa alone took the responsibility of sending troops to rescue Delin without permission from his superiors. Major Green is said to be very angry, thinking that he had also participated in making this decision.
Vasa insisted on taking responsibility alone, for good reason.
Because the Cavaliers Camp can not have him George Vassar, but can not do without Nathaniel Green, the "big butler" who is in charge of logistics, finance, daily training and psychological counseling of young officers and soldiers.
