Austria Vienna.

Vienna is the capital of Austria, the most prosperous city in the whole of Austria, and the capital of the once huge Holy Roman Empire. Up to now, it has a history of 1600 years and is one of the most prestigious ancient capitals on the Europa continent.

In addition to the profound historical background here, the artistic atmosphere is also extremely strong. The two top art academies in the entire continent are also located here. Whether it is the Vienna Conservatory of Music or the Vienna Academy of Arts, both of them have trained martial arts experts. Top Academy!Although there is no guarantee that each generation will be able to cultivate martial saint-level powerhouses, but since the millennium, there are only these two academies that can allow people to break through the holy ranks with the way of music and painting!These two academies also represent the highest level of music and painting art in the entire continent!Let Vienna also become the only music capital and art capital in the whole continent.

Vienna is located at the northern foot of the Alps, in the basin with the mildest climate, and adjacent to the beautiful and gentle Danube River. different style.It provides endless sources of inspiration for composers and painters all the year round, allowing them to create countless classic repertoires and famous paintings handed down from generation to generation.

No matter the four seasons, there are always people who pursue art here. In the forests, grasslands, riversides, and squares of Vienna, they hum tunes with notebooks, splash colors with easels, play music with violins, or gesture to beautiful women. A leisurely charm of humanity.

Even ordinary citizens here have their own unique views on various arts, and they don’t mind giving some help to these young people who are pursuing art. They often stop and give their own suggestions to young people who are painting or playing. , make comments, help them find out their own shortcomings, full of heart-warming artistic atmosphere.

But on this day, the warm atmosphere in this beautiful city was swept away, and it was filled with a murderous atmosphere!

The street painters who put on airs are no longer seen, and the beautiful musical notes that have been floating all year round are no longer there. Instead, there are teams of soldiers patrolling back and forth, and there are strict checkpoints at each intersection!This made the entire street look very serious and tense, and even the number of civilians on the street was much less.

Because not long ago, a coup took place in this city!Unlike the more gentle coup d'etat ten years ago, this time, it looked very bloody!
Except for the city defense army that was wiped out overnight, all the officials stationed here by the German Empire and responsible for managing the city were searched and arrested.Regardless of whether they were Germans or Austrians who later joined the city hall to seek employment, they were all escorted and hanged in Montenegro Square!And the governor-general who was in charge of all kinds of affairs of the prime minister in Austria was put on the guillotine.The wives and family members of these officials were also escorted, crying and driven away from the city. No one knew where they were escorted.

After that, there was another rigorous raid, the kind of road blockade and house-to-house raid!Although it was said that they were searching for German spies who might be hiding, there were a lot of people who were hunted out. Without exception, they were all Germans who lived in Vienna or lived temporarily, or did business, or were studying. They were all escorted to unknown places.

Then in this serious atmosphere, the news of Austria's re-independence was released, and Miss Marie Louisa, who succeeded the Grand Duke, also appeared in front of the trembling people of Vienna.

On Marienplatz in front of the Hofburg Palace, she delivered her succession speech:
"Dear citizens of Vienna, dear Austrians, I, Marie Luisa, am the daughter of former Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, the legal heir to the Kingdom of Austria by God! Today, I returned here with our soldiers, Drive away the German devil who has oppressed us for ten years! Not only in Vienna, but in St. Bolten, in Linz, in Salzburg, I drove out all invaders! In the following days , I will also resist the counterattack of those German demons for everyone! Pain them, let us Austria get out of their clutches and regain independence! Free again! Restore the glory of the past! After completely repelling those demons, I will It will also formally re-inherit the position of the Austrian Grand Duke, leading everyone out of the haze of the past and heading towards a bright future."

The young and beautiful Grand Duchess stood on the high platform and gave a speech eloquently for a long time. Her tone became more passionate and her emotions became more intense, but she didn't get much response.

Surrounded by the soldiers, the densely packed citizens below were silent. There was no applause, no cheers, no applause, and no "long live" as expected.They just stood there silently, without expressing any opinions, not even objections.

Faced with such silence, the grand celebration that was planned later could not continue, and this abrupt speech ended abruptly amidst the atmosphere of silence.

The people dispersed in silence, and the young and beautiful Grand Duchess also returned to the Hofburg Palace, which was sorted out not long ago.

Sitting on the luxurious and comfortable sofa in the palace, she looked very depressed: "Am I so unpopular? I have repeatedly told you not to disturb the people. Does your army have to be so unreasonable?"

Sitting opposite her was an outrageously beautiful female general in soft metal armor with a long sword. It was Miss Sophie. She said: "Our revolutionary army has always had good military discipline. Nonsense. But the search and expulsion of the Germans is an order from you. We are just following the order. No matter how careful we are, there will always be some complaints. Moreover, the attitude of the citizens is not friendly. I think not only Our reason."

"Okay." The Grand Duchess sighed: "I know that my father did not do well in the past. He was incompetent, nepotistic, and reckless, which caused anger and resentment. It is understandable for him to be driven away. But I am different. !I love Austria! I want it to be prosperous! I am willing to work hard for it! Make it no longer a small country that can be bullied! I am different from my father!"

"It's useless for you to tell me about these things." Miss Sophie laughed: "You have to tell your people yourself. The official speeches like those just now can't move people. And want to Changing their perception of you is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time, you have to work hard over the years to make them see something real."

After a pause, Miss Sophie continued: "As for things like letting others bully you, it will naturally not happen after you marry our Emperor. Austria will become a vassal state of France in the future, and we will naturally protect it with all our strength." Yours, like now, isn't it?"

"We're just helping each other!" The Grand Duchess frowned and emphasized: "When will your Majesty arrive? I think those Germans can't bear it anymore! The number of their military camps on the north bank has been increasing in recent days! It must wait until If their Second Army and Third Army are transferred, they will launch an attack! Just because you have more than 4 people, you can't stop it."

"Hey, it's not that easy to borrow. The Swiss have a huge appetite, and it's not easy to fill them up. And even if it's a waterway, there are many restrictions. It's not easy to transport 4 people at once. "Miss Sophie sighed and explained: "His Majesty is still making the final preparations. At that time, most of our French Revolutionary Army will come, and this time there will be more than 10 people! Don't worry, we speculate that the Germans Before I figured out the situation, I shouldn't have killed so quickly."

"I know that your majesty is the god of the French army, but the number of Germans on the opposite side may exceed 20, maybe 30. You only have 5 or [-] people, and you are fighting in a different place. Are you sure?" Female The Grand Duke spoke with hesitation.

"Who do you think our Majesty Napoleon is? We don't just rely on the number of people to fight wars!" Miss Sophie said proudly: "Our French Revolutionary Army is a veteran of many battles! We have fought with our Majesty for many years. , Use like arms and fingers! Stronger than their four main armies in Germany! The number of them is not much different from them, and their other second-tier armies are all made up. You have seen it too. It’s easy to solve without fighting.”

"Oh, that's it. I've never been very good at military affairs, so I'll leave it to your Majesty." The Grand Duchess nodded.

"By the way, have you got in touch?" Miss Sophie asked: "We are not afraid of anyone in the legion battle, but the guardian of the country is not something that can be stopped by manpower. According to intelligence, their Siegfried family But there are at least two Martial Saints! That Dragon Slayer Martial Saint is even the peak Martial Saint at the national protection level! If he comes, we won't be able to resist it."

"Lord Hecate has received the news, and she should come here in a few days. Your lord will personally guard your majesty. Once the Dragon Slayer Martial Saint appears, your lord will take action!" The female archduke assured: "Some other teachers The sisters in the middle will come to help us! Coupled with your newly promoted sharp gun martial artist, we will definitely not be inferior to them in terms of high-end combat power!"

"What about your teacher?" Miss Sophie asked this question cautiously.

"Teacher, he doesn't want to see me." The Grand Duchess lowered her eyes, her tone was sad, and tears seemed to roll in her eyes: "He must hate me for killing so many people!"

"Oh, don't think so much, it may not be because of this reason." Miss Sophie comforted her with understanding: "It is understandable that Mr. Beethoven is unwilling to make a move. He wholeheartedly pursues the highest state of music art and does not want to set foot on the ground." Fanchen. We can’t force it, as long as the Vienna Conservatory of Music is willing to train us masters.”

"You can rest assured that I have already met with the deans of the two colleges." The Grand Duchess reassured: "From now on, you French people and us Austrians will be treated equally, and you can directly participate in the annual meetings of the two colleges." Admissions review!"

Then she sighed faintly: "Oh, it would be great if the teacher is willing to make a move. He is one of the strongest martial saints in the entire continent. As long as we appear on the battlefield, we will surely win this war!"
