Vol 6 Chapter 237: Severe Mountain

"When we received the order, we didn't know what we were going to face.
As a son of a landlord who was born and raised in Sacrament, I was instilled in the legion by the father of the commander in the legion, "We are noble pure-blood empire", "I am loyal to the royal family of De Salyon is a glory born", I am in the cloth There was no pressure when His Highness rebelled.
The old leader of the banner told the boys in the regiment why they had to fight the Sakrans, and even their own folks. The big one was bigger than the other; but in my opinion, he Just one sentence is enough.
The Sacran is synonymous with loyalty, and the unfaithful is not the Sacran.
Nonetheless, it is still a very happy thing to be able to stop fighting with the fellow countrymen; not to mention our trip is not to go to the Fortress of Fortress, which is full of heroes and legends, to save the besieged by the enemy His Majesty the Emperor-Is there anything more exciting than such a "loyal move"?
some.
Time obscures my memory-I can only remember the violent sun when the violent shock came, and we marched in a queue of pride and order; but the next second, we became a panicked deer and headless fly.
The elder commander of the flag shouted desperately, snatching the bugle from the herald, and sounded the rally vigorously; but it was of no use, because every terrified soldier covered his ears for the first time;
Excited, I was ready to rush to help him maintain order, but the next second of timidity made me give up the idea-a dozen desperate soldiers pushed the carriage full of luggage and ran over the leader of the flag past.
I didn't even dare to collect the corpse for the leader of the flag who helped me, because I was also panicked at the time, and like every soldier, desperately looked for his luggage.
In retrospect, I vaguely remembered that the shock did not last long; but when the army commander lightly injured or died in the evening, the escaped, dead and injured soldiers reached one fifth.
This is a shame for the Sakran! An army has not yet fought against the enemy, and it has already reached one-fifth of the casualties ... The Holy Cross is on, let my father know this, he will definitely scold me fiercely, and beat me.
But as long as it was every officer who had experienced that turmoil, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief-depending on the situation at the time, it would n’t be surprising that one third of the casualties were.
After the commotion, the commander issued a decision to start immediately; this decision was very wise, because it first gave the soldiers who were still in a panic a task so that they did not have to think about it.
Secondly, because of the turmoil during the day, our progress has been much slower. If we do not step up, I am afraid that it will be a lot at night.
But maybe it is because of the "vibration" during the day that I have some bad hunch-perhaps, we can't keep up with the Battle of the Boundary Mountain.
I don't want to hide it because it is true.
When we finally reached the Fortress of Jiejie Mountain, there was no longer any "fortress" of Jiejie Mountain.
What we saw was gravel rubble piled up into a mountain, a horizontal and vertical ravine, and a continuous mountain range-we even thought we were going the wrong way, but in the end we found this to be true.
The Boundary Mountain ... no longer exists.
Joe Andrew, the flag officer of the 3rd Regiment of the Legion, recorded in the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain ... "
………………………………………
Gently lowering the letterhead in his hand, the dark-haired wizard raised his gaze, looking at Edward, the night watchman with a slightly more complicated expression—although he was not much better by himself.
"Edward, this is ..."
"Information about three days ago." Without waiting for Loren to finish, the night watchman stole coldly: "Thank you friend Isaac Grantham, an earthquake destroyed the Boundary Mountain Fortress once."
"More importantly, he seriously underestimated the solidity of the mountains of the Boundary Mountains. Although he destroyed the fortress, he failed to cause a landslide. The north of the empire is now wide open, and there is not even a stronghold; of course, because of his calculation errors, Our talents are not blocked outside the mountains, frozen and starved to death on the ice sheet. "
"Two-thirds of the Azore elves were buried alive under the rubble, and the remaining elf warriors rushed to the south desperately; the cavalry of the legion north now is cooperating with the Poe horse cavalry to suppress them, but with little success;"
"I'm afraid for a long time, these elf warriors will become the scourge of the empire, thanks to Isaac Grantham."
"Thanks to the Count Charlotte de Salion. After she heard that His Highness Brandon's army was heading north, she immediately paid a large amount of money to purchase a large amount of grain from the landlord of Sachland to ensure our supply."
"The army heading north is now stationed outside the ruins, and as far as possible, it has cleared a passage and an open space where it can camp, waiting for His Highness Brandon to arrive with your army."
As the words fell, Edward squeezed his lips tightly, an expression of "all you should tell you".
The dark-haired wizard sighed helplessly: "You know that I am not asking this."
"Your Majesty Connold de Salion, the thirteenth generation emperor of the empire crashed at the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain ... if you want to know this ..." Edward coldly said:
"You never have to worry about the threat from Her Majesty Connold. As for Princess Fitronai ... I don't think she can rival you and your Highness. I don't even think she has any intention to fight you."
"Rute Infinite, Eckhardt, Connord ... No one in the empire can threaten you, Lord Duke Byrne." Edward sneered unabashedly.
Loren stopped talking and looked at him silently.
There was a brief and cold silence in the room.
"He is not ready yet."
A minute later, Edward, the night watchman, slowly said, "Although he pretends that everything is normal, I can see it; he may have hated his brother, but he didn't think about it so quickly ... he will become the new supreme. emperor."
"Imperial ... the 14th generation of the supreme emperor."
Loren nodded slightly, and the void response from Edward told himself that there was a little "sympathy" in his emotions.
This is actually a very wonderful feeling-although he can get the same information from Edward's words and expressions, the reaction of the force of the void can complete the "information processing" faster than vision and hearing. Send it to your own consciousness as if you have another completely different and more efficient sense.
This is not a good omen.
"For people in this world, spirit and material are like water and earth, and it is impossible to mix together; any wizard, a mortal-even a Logan wearing a hat or a" Duke of Black "Roland- —The moment they open the second valve, they must make a choice ... "
"It is to retain more‘ material ’side, as a life that masters the fundamental laws of the world, but has a limited life span that can be killed, or ...

"Sublime one's own consciousness, transform oneself into some kind of 'existence' in the void, and be rejected by the material world; only add some influence to this world or 'fall' in a body leaning on the power of the void;
"But ... Dear Loren, these restrictions do not exist for you. Your spirit and substance are pure and integrated; this is good and bad."
"The advantage is that you don't need to make a choice so quickly, and maybe you won't need to make a choice in the next two to three hundred years; the disadvantage is that every time you use the power of the void, you can feel the world ' hostility'."
"Because you are no longer just a beast wielding infinite power, but beyond it, you have a higher level of 'wisdom'."
"Your language, will, and even the electro-optical collision of thinking are" given "meaning by your own existence"
"The power you use is no longer what you" borrowed ", but the power itself comes from yourself-the world will feel the threat you can pose to it, and will try your best to exclude you and you the power of."
Sandwiched between the void and the material world, neither belongs to the left nor the right; sandwiched between the evil and humans, neither belongs to the former nor the latter ...
No longer will "become what", but "become yourself".
It sounds like a very difficult road. Fortunately, I don't have to make any choices yet, and Brandon ...
"What do you need me to do?"
Loren raised his head and looked quietly at Edward.
"It's very simple, keep your promises," the night watchman said indifferently: "You promised that Byrne would fully support His Highness Brandon de Salion, and that His Highness had helped you more than once."
"So now is the time for Byrne to fulfill his promises-in any case, do your best to make Brandon de Salleone the emperor's fourteenth generation emperor!"
"But he is already the Prince of East Sakland and the Crown Prince of the Empire; now that Connor is dead, shouldn't Brandon succeed him naturally?"
"Theoretically this is true, but we all know that it is not." Edward's tone became a bit like Rut Infinite:
"Under the circumstances at the time, His Highness was sealed as Prince of East Sacran, but it was a helpless act under the Connaught Lord's persecution of the situation and the forces of Byrne-at least the imperial nobles thought so, so were they willing to recognize His Highness 'S identity is hard to tell. "
"Not to mention ... There is now the High Princess Piterone in the imperial capital, and Golovin and West Sakran are under siege by the Azores; it is hard to say that once the news of the collapse of His Majesty Connor The imperial aristocracy would make such a move; if their courageous actions were to evade His Highness and directly recommend the Princess-Prince ... "
That would be troublesome.
Looking at Edward's slightly nervous expression, Loren could understand what he meant.
The present situation seems to be very beneficial to Brandon-the rightful heir, holding the army and the territory, the capital city is under siege; as long as he leads the army to siege, he does not even need to really drive out the Azores to make it Help the nobles who terrified the small heart to give the crown.
But actually ... this is a little "naive" idea.
First of all, the imperial capital of Golovin must not fall-she is not only a city, but also represents the imperial power of the Dessarian family and the empire; once the capital falls, it means in a sense that the empire has died, The Principalities no longer have the obligation to allegiance to the empire, and can choose what they want to do.
The nobles of the imperial capital are even clearer than Brandon, so the threat of taking the "capital fall" is actually more similar to the end.
Even if Brandon hated the aristocrats who hated him so much, he could not make a joke about the future and destiny of the entire DeSalem family, nor could he let the thirteen generations of crowns be thrown into his hands To return the empire to the age of the ancient kingdom.
What he wants is a famous history, not a decadent one.
After fourteen generations, the empire has a very complete set of "ceremonial norms" for "inheritance of imperial power"-to put it more directly, it is a way that everyone can accept and can recognize.
These include the election of the Holy Cross, the Duke and the imperial nobles, and the unanimous approval from within the royal family; its core purpose is to allow as many people as possible to participate and let them accept this result;
The recognition of the Holy Cross Church can draw the loyalty of the people at the bottom, and the approval of the imperial nobles can provide him with a set of efficient (fossilized) unobstructed (corrupt) rule machines to achieve his ideas and purposes; finally the loyalty of the dukes, It provided him with more taxes, military resources and supplies, so that his will is no longer limited to the Kingdom of Sackland.
The support of all parties is indispensable to Brandon, otherwise the coronation ceremony is probably not much stronger than the game of self-entertainment.
So conversely, as long as one party does not participate, Brandon ’s coronation ceremony lacks "legality" and his crown is incomplete.
So ~ EbookFREE.me ~ in terms of His Highness' "favor" in the empire, how many people he can win-even if it is intimidation and temptation, to threaten it-is really unknown.
"What is your plan?"
The dark-haired wizard turned his gaze to Edward, although he didn't have to do it now.
"In the hands of the elven leader who attacked the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, there is an iron crown symbolizing the imperial power of the empire-although it is not known why this thing is in his hand instead of the eagle king, the treasure itself weighs more than a thousand dollars." People coldly said:
"Furthermore, the body of His Majesty Connaughter ... only condolences ... there are rings and sabers on it, and three kinds of treasures can be used to hold the coronation ceremony."
"And now, the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain and the Army of the Sacran Country are in the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, plus Byrne and Poi, the most powerful army in the empire, all are on the side of His Royal Highness Brandon."
"As long as there is the support of these soldiers, and no news has been received from the imperial nobles, His Royal Highness has no need to care about the ideas of the nobles of Golovin and the Holy Cross Church, and is crowned Emperor!"
