Vol 3 Chapter 17: Hot potato

The Lion Heart City is a surrounding square, each side is equal to 5 miles long, and there are 2 gates on each side of the city wall. The four main gates are named after "Fire Lion, Wind Dragon, Ice Bear, and Earth Leopard", and the five major elements are missing. Water is because fire lions belong to fire. Water naturally kills fire and deliberately removes them from the four gates. The four auxiliary gates are named after the body of the fire lion, namely: roar, tail, claws, wings. It is said that the true fire lion king has two wings in the armpit, so there is a wing door.
Unlike other cities, there are no high mountains around the Lion Heart City, and the nearest Holy Snow Mountain is thousands of miles away. When building the city, there are no ready-made stones that can be used, so all the city bricks are in place Built 3000 giant brick kilns to dig and burn on the spot, most of the soil on the north bank of the Lion River is red, and the bricks burned are also red.
Hundreds of thousands of red city bricks make the whole Lion Heart City like a flame sitting on the yellow-green prairie, and the red flag flying on the city wall is more like a jumping tongue of fire.
"Shan Hai Jing. Za Tan" turned over a small steep slope, and the Ximen Bingxiong Gate of Lion Heart City was clearly visible.
Different from the previous times when the small mercenaries came to the Lion Heart City to complete their missions, on the periphery of the Lion Heart City, countless military camp groups surrounded the city, and the center of the barracks flame-like banner showed that this is one of the four main empire of the Empire. Fire Lion Army. The variegated flags floating on the barracks on the left and right sides of the Fire Lion Army indicate that the soldiers of other legions are stationed here. Some soldiers are patrolling near and far. All this tells the business travelers who came to the Lion Heart City that war is about to break out here.
The soldiers in Diaodou of the main barracks first discovered the dust that was taken off by the sledges of the small mercenary group and the small mercenary group, and quickly blew the horn.
The side gate of the barracks opened wide, and a team of about 200 people scolded the light cavalry. The line of the scouts hovering in front of the small mercenary group opened the array. The sergeant Mercedes was at the front of the team. The sergeant was obviously a small captain: , Who? The password! "
Horns led the small mercenary team ’s striker team, and quickly walked up after hearing the question:
We are the small mercenary corps of the empire stationed in Xilin Island. Now we have completed the 10 days of mercenary guarding the soil, and we will return to the Lion River Defense Explain to the district. "As he said, Horns took out his diary of the mercenary.
what? All the soldiers were stunned, little mercenary?
The small mercenary regiment is already famous at this time, at least in the Lionheart City and the Fire Lion Corps, in just 10 days-it also includes the small mercenary regiment expediting the report of the enemy ’s situation to the imperial capital 1 ~ In 3 days, at least 5 waves of personnel with absolute authority have sent people to the Lion River Defence Zone to inquire about the status of the small mercenary regiment. Two batches of special envoys were sent. The first batch was a little more polite, urging the Lions River Defence Area to gather defenses as soon as possible to rescue the besieged small mercenary regiment. Emperor Shi's oracle was directly announced to the entire Lion River defense area.
Redstone has only one vocation for imperial soldiers: defending the home and defending the country.
Today, are there any Imperial soldiers in the Imperial Lion River Defense Zone?
In the past 500 years, the soldiers of the empire have been exploring the territory with all their strength, attacking all the way, winning the invincible battle, and building the reputation of the first empire with countless blood; every time, when we review the imperial army, we always think that there is such a thing We are proud of the powerful army; every time any army soldier or general calls the imperial army the most powerful military force on the Pan-Continent, we are always proud of it.
But today, in the 500 years since the founding of the People's Republic, the empire has encountered humiliation that has never been seen before-even a country has invaded us.
A brutal beast force from the wild era invaded our country. Our territory was trampled down. In the past 5 days, the military forces on the west side of the Lion River Defense Zone were almost completely annihilated, and a large number of territories of imperial citizens were captured by the enemy.
Where are the imperial soldiers?
Where was the "Lion of Fire Lions" that once ranked second in the military building of the Empire? Where are the imperial armies we were proud of? You're not even as good as a team of less than 500 small mercenaries that has just been established for 2 years. When our regular army was defeated by the enemy and defeated by a large area, the "small mercenary regiment", under the pressure of millions of enemy forces, trapped an isolated island hanging overseas and repeatedly defeated the enemy's attacks.
If the Fire Lions Corps cannot change this situation in the short term, it is recommended that the Ministry of Military Forces consider revoking the Fire Lions Corps from the four main legions, or even consider disbanding the Fire Lions Corps.
Redstone (private seal)
At the same time, along with the envoy, there was another order issued by the Redstone Emperor to all armies, all lords across the empire, and all nobles: Since my enthronement, I have always hoped that the country and the people will be able to maintain health, which is similar to the previous emperor's pro-government period. Than, there are few wars. In the past 20 years, the imperial army has even few soldiers who have won knighthood for military merit.
Now a barbarian from the fascist continent has invaded the Imperial Lion River Defense.
My order: The noble knights of the empire are divided, all the army of the empire, and all the mercenary regiments of the empire. Now is the time for you to build merits. In the face of the crusade against aliens, all military merits are given priority!
Non-my family, its heart must be different. In this conquest, only the enemy's first-level heroes are discussed.
Amy Empire Redstone Emperor (Military Seal)
Seeing these two metaphors and the effects brought about by it, Fan Viscount, the highest military commander of the Lion River, was a bit bitter-hearted, more precisely, he should cry without tears.
When the Foreign Continent invaded the mercenary empire and the Hughes Empire sent by the Imperial Army a month ago, as the head of the local military, Viscount Fan was keenly aware that if the foreign continent had sufficient backup power, It will definitely detour to attack the rest of the Eminor continent, opening up the second and even third battlefield. I just do n’t know which direction the enemy will attack from. The Lion River defense zone alone has three to four strategic points. If you want to defend all, you ca n’t do it. Viscount Fan immediately ordered the defense zone to enter the first-level combat readiness state. In a large city, for the mercenaries along the coast and the army of lords everywhere, the order given by Fan Viscount is: "Abide by the rules, not retreat by the rules."
After receiving the newsletter from the Little Mercenary Corps Krypton Rider, he has basically determined the direction of the fascist attack, and Viscount Fan gathered all the troops at the fastest speed near the heart of the lion heart city, the largest city in Xilin Island-hoping to pass A battle with the main force completely defeated the enemy, which of course was the best choice for Viscount Fan.
Now it ’s okay, the two metaphors of the Redstone Emperor made army soldiers and subordinate officers regard the strategic transfer as a shame for the army, and they demanded full force to attack. They even proposed a huge plan to form a fleet to pursue the enemy and wash the fascist continent .
Fan Viscount had to give a wry smile, but this was also good, the morale of the army must have increased greatly, and the desire to fight was unprecedentedly high.
In addition to the army, the aristocratic lords have made Fan Viscount a big head in the past few days-in the Lion River Defense Zone, there are 41 hereditary nobles and more than 500 imperial knights in the fenced area. Big or small, the most important thing for these honorable guys is probably how to be promoted and added. In times of peace, these remnants who are far away from the imperial capital have little chance to contact the rights center. At most, they send their children to the knight school to hope to become a Eudemons knight. Only about 30 Eudemons knights are produced every 5 years. All noble children have such opportunities.
Seeing the metaphor of the Redstone Emperor, the nobles immediately felt that there were unlimited opportunities around them, and they had organized the closed ground guards or mercenary groups to participate in the crusade. In just two days, more than 8,000 people had gathered-Amy they watched It is these troops to the variegated flag camp outside the Lion Heart City.
The combat effectiveness of this army can be imagined. Fan Zijue persuaded them with painstaking efforts-the fascist continent is very powerful, capable of attacking the three empires at the same time, and has captured several major towns of the mercenary empire and the Hughes empire How powerful are their army attacks.
Ashamed, the ancestors of these nobles were all founders of the founding father of the Amy Empire. In the history of the empire, they were once the most flamboyant figures and said: "How does my grandfather kill the lion and kill the tiger with Amy the Great? Orc ", shut up" My ancestors alone defeated the 20,000 army of the Principality of XX, and slaughtered three dragons ... ".
Faced with these infinitely exaggerated credits, the two courage of the Viscount Fan did not dare to defame the merits of these historical celebrities one by one, and it was impossible to dig out the old nobles whose bones were rotten from the grave. The rest is about how to stabilize these nobles.
"Um ... Master Count, don't you know how to go to Xilin Island? Or should I let a soldier lead you and let you and your guard go to the battlefield first?" Fan Zijue didn't look like he was on the battlefield It was on the execution ground.
"This? Lord General, don't you want to go ..." Lord Piaget immediately sweated as soon as Fan Zijue watched.
"Ah, yes, Xiaguan Zu is not a famous nobleman in the history of the Empire. Fortunately, sitting in this position is very embarrassed. So you can't spoil the beauty, and you have the opportunity to establish meritorious service. Or , I will retreat the army for another 100 miles to give you enough time and space? "
"Master Viscount, how many troops do we have in total? How to resist the enemy's Tiger and Wolf Division?" A marquise on one side couldn't see it and stood up to oppress with the title.
"Master Marquis, wasn't your ancestor once killed three dragons? Did one man wipe out more than 20,000 soldiers of a Principality? As far as I know, the enemy has less than 10,000 troops, and the Marquis is just in his prime. It ’s quite awe of the ancestors, maybe one person can kill all the enemies.
Fan Zijue patted Marquis’ shoulder with his hand and looked at each other with emotion in his eyes:
I do n’t think you need to bring a guard In the past, that would make your ancestors look very faceless. "
"Viscount Fan, you're bold, I want to sue you in the imperial capital, timid and timid, don't want to make progress, pass foreign countries ..." Lord Marquis face is really open.
"This, Lord Marquis is casual, but the guards of the adults can't be taken away. According to the rights of the imperial nobles, your guards must stay to assist in the defense. Otherwise, they will be executed immediately with the crime of desertion." After the first door of the empire, no matter how offended the marquis who had been idle at home, Fan Zijue did not care. Now is the time of war, the Redstone Emperor and the Military Department should know who is more important.
Although Viscount Fan has certain shortcomings that cannot be ignored in some respects, if it is only in terms of the use of soldiers, it is a rare and famous general in the empire.
Viscount Fan joined the army as a civilian at the age of 15 and has experienced small-scale conflict wars of the mercenary empire in the Red Moon Calendar 175 years, the desert empire battle in the Red Moon calendar 179, the snow moon Lake battle in the Red Moon calendar 182, and the forest discussion in the Red Moon calendar 184 years Bandit Wars, Red Calendar 189 assisted the Holy See in the war of rebellion. In all the conquests, every time he had a major merit, he was enlisted as an imperial knight by the empire at the age of 30 and became the lowest nobility.
As a soldier, he has experienced almost all the major battles of the empire in the past 30 years. His identity has also gone through the ranks of warriors, Qu Chang, guerrillas, squadrons, squadrons, captains, and generals from a small soldier. Until the end as the highest military commander of the Imperial Military Forces.
Joining the army with a civilian and an ordinary soldier who is not a knight of Eudemons become the commander of the defense zone. This is also a model in the minds of countless imperial civilian soldiers.
Of course, maybe it ’s enough to have enough hard time from snacking, or maybe it ’s because he directly entered the regular empire of the empire ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Since the day when Viscount Fan took the general of the Lion River defense zone, he has behaved like a dragon knight. , Oh, to be more precise like the dragon knight's mount-a large number of shiny and shiny little things are constantly accumulated, which inevitably deducts the swordsman battalions in the defense zone. Viscount Fan never believed that the swordsman battalion would have any fighting power.
"Oh-the small mercenary group escaped?" Fan Viscount, who was soaking mushrooms in the mansion with large and small noblemen, was still very happy to hear the news.
Although the small mercenary regiment let him suffer endless sufferings, he had to drink porridge at home and show it to everyone. He still had a certain affection for the small mercenary regiment Fan Viscount. In any case, it is extremely difficult for two little guys who are born as civilians to become dragon warriors. Later, it was ground on the Redstone Emperor's head, and it was not something that ordinary people could do.
This time the small mercenary regiment was under siege, and Fan Zijue did not immediately send troops to clear the siege. Of course, it was not because of any prejudice against the small mercenary regiment ... at least no prejudice can be said in the mouth. The reply given to all the envoys who came to ask the reason made: The second-line legion was not assembled enough. Once the fire lion corps was thrown across the board, it was even more difficult for the foreign continent troops to use the empty block to kill the imperial hinterland.
Hearing this news, Viscount Fan was very happy for another reason-he could finally get rid of these nasty flies in the hall. He motioned for the main officers under him to go with him.
To the surprise of Fan Viscount, the flies in the house heard the arrival of the Little Mercenary Corps, and immediately rushed out of the hall at a faster rate than the general, and disappeared quickly from the eyes of Fan Viscount.
When dozens of horse teams rushed out of the city gate and ran out of the main gate of the Fire Lion Camp, they realized that they were not the first to come out to meet them.
Some people have already stopped the small mercenary groups that have arrived from a distance ...
