Baozi sincerely thanks: a monthly pass for those who wish;

In the silent hall, Fatty was alone with his hands behind his back, staring intently at a huge map hanging on the wall. It was a map of the Falcon Dynasty carefully crafted by the Ministry of Government in order to congratulate the wedding.

It includes the occupied northern region of Ruidian. The full and rising curve makes the Falcon Dynasty's territory look like a huge falcon with wings spread and soaring into the sky.

The grassland and the west are the huge wings of a giant falcon spread out to the east and west. The snow-capped mountains in the west are like the upturned back of a goshawk. The white thorn flowers flying in the wind are just inside the falcon's chest. It is as eye-catching as the heart of the falcon. As for the sharpest claws of the falcon, it happens to be the three northern counties close to Ruidian. The vast southern sea of ​​Wikiana is like the tail of a huge wing.

This is a picture taken by the Ministry of Government, although some parts are far-fetched. For example, the part representing the western grassland includes the edge of the East Courtyard, and the western part also extends for hundreds of miles to unknown places in order to seek symmetry. ,

But this does not affect the practicality and appreciation of this map. At least Fatty felt very satisfied that it could flatter him and show that the kingdom was powerful and territorial, so he ordered this map to be hung in the hall of his residence. within, useful as an administrative region map

During this period of conversation with witch nv Turrit Corinne, Fatty already knew about the two most powerful empires in the Obaro continent, the Faris Empire, which controls the eastern end of the Obaro continent, and the Faris Empire, which controls the western part of the continent. The Ottoman Empire along the Ribach Inland Sea has a combined population of over 100 million. Compared with these countries, even the entire Ikadiva seems too barren.

Looking at the population figures marked in each region, the fat man counted them roughly. 55 counties and a population of about 13.4 million could barely be regarded as the foundation of an empire, but it was only a foundation.

At this point, Fatty has never had any big ambitions. Population is consumed very quickly, but it takes a long time to accumulate. Various factors such as famine, disease, and war can cause population decline. The best way to reduce the number of people in large numbers is to plunder and migrate from other places.

According to the records of the captured royal archives of Wikia, the peak population occurred during the period of King Boresa in the middle of the Millennium Dynasty Ikadiva. This king who was intelligent and focused on internal affairs was the most unique among the 24 kings of the Millennium Dynasty. Yes, because he is the only disabled king. His right eye was blinded due to a disease when he was a child. According to the files, Fatty believes that the disease that almost killed Emperor Boressa at that time was probably the death rate. and highly disabling polio

It is said that although this British master, known as Emperor Boresa, was established as the crown prince early, he was criticized by other important ministers because of his physical disability. Even his mother became more and more dissatisfied with him after giving birth to her second son. As time went by, the ministers began to lean towards his other brother, Duke Odolpho.

Because the Duke not only had extraordinary appearance, but also had the demeanor of a king. His conversation and knowledge were first-rate. He was the idol in the hearts of all the girls in Kyoto at that time. In addition, the queen was behind the scenes and was adding fuel to the fire. The calls for the cancellation of Crown Prince Boressa's identity are getting louder and louder.

At a critical moment, the one-eyed crown prince used a trivial matter to defeat his opponent who was already sure to win. During a court meeting, the one-eyed crown prince with extraordinary powers of observation,

I found that my biggest threat was that every time I was talking, I would glance towards the left corner of the hall intentionally or unintentionally. There stood a handsome male servant. The reason why I said handsome was because this male servant was tall. c has red teeth and white teeth, and a pretty look. If she puts on a woman's dress, she will definitely be a beautiful woman who will conquer the country.

This aroused some associations in Borisa's mind, and he soon secretly sent someone to investigate. The truth soon emerged. It turned out that his younger brother did not like women but men. Beautiful women could often be found in his house. When Shinv walks around, they are actually all pretending to be prostitutes, and those who sleep every day are these prostitutes dressed as men.

When the news came out, the upper echelons of the entire kingdom were in an uproar. The voice of canceling Crown Prince Boresa disappeared instantly. The kingdom's ministers all stood on the side of Boresa. Preferring masculine style is not a big deal among the upper-class nobles. Many nobles There are cases of families raising beautiful prostitutes, and there are even absurd situations where luan children sleep in the same bed as their beloved concubines.

But if it is a crown prince, it will be troublesome. A crown prince who does not like women will directly cut off the lifeline of the royal family.

No matter how capable a man is, he is unable to produce offspring. The disgraceful Duke of Odolpho's reputation plummeted, and the ministers who originally supported him also avoided suspicion. In the end, the lonely Duke had no choice but to submit his resignation to His Majesty the King and move to Living in the outer territory is a problem

The turmoil and patience in his boyhood gave Emperor Boresa, who finally defeated his opponent in one fell swoop with a small thing and ascended to the throne with the support of everyone, a rare characteristic for a king, that is, patience and self-examination.

The one-eyed crown prince, who only stayed on the throne for 14 years, did two things that were most influential to the Ikadiva continent. The first was to adopt a policy of compatibility and coexistence, declaring that whether locals or outsiders, as long as they were located in Once you reach the Ikadiva continent, you can move inland. This gives many barbarians who are not native to the Ikadiva continent the opportunity to integrate into Ikadiva, eliminating the hidden danger of internal strife.

The second is to adopt a policy of cultivation and land reclamation. After more than ten years of peace and development, the inland Ikadiva, which originally had a population of 40 million, has increased to 60 million, and its national territory has also expanded to the north and southwest corners. Nearly one-third became the veritable kingdom of Ikadiva,

Whether it is the Radian people who have inherited the orthodoxy of Ikadiva, or the Nords, Vekians, and Kugits who are outsiders, they all maintain unanimous respect for this kind and generous monarch.

It is a pity that his policy of sweeping the world was not continued by his successors. After his death, his 8-year-old youngest son was elected by the ministers as the king. The newly strengthened royal power once again fell into the hands of the ministers and local princes who controlled government affairs. With the high-level officials Restore the high-pressure policy against outsiders, and the large-scale betrayal of the Nords eventually led to the collapse of the Millennium Dynasty.

Every time he thinks of this, Fatty can't help but feel a little scared. Will his dynasty disappear like the thousand-year dynasty after his death and turn into historical dust that can be lamented by future generations? But then I thought about it and felt relieved.

I am worrying in vain. No matter how powerful a dynasty is, it will always be replaced by a political power. No matter how much I worry, it will not help the wheel of history. This is the era, this is the general trend, but in the Before that, all I could do was to do my own thing well.

After sorting out the complicated emotions in his heart, the fat man looked away from the map, reached out and took down the white-on-blue-striped man's dress from the exquisitely engraved hanger in the hall, and carefully put the 150 diamonds in his hand. Inlaid, the white thorn flower representing the royal status is fastened to the brooch on the chest,

After tidying up in the mirror, the fat man solemnly pushed open the door in the hall. Compared with the hesitation and hesitation when he walked in before, the fat man now has more understanding.

If your dynasty is destined to perish one day, then instead of trying every means to save it, you might as well expand your territory like the enlightened Emperor Boresa to include many races.

Even if your own Falcon Dynasty will one day collapse like the Millennium Dynasty, at least some people will remember that such a glorious era once existed. This is enough.

Outside the door of the hall, a palace lady wearing black lace and rust saw the fat man coming out. She whispered playfully, "Your Majesty, Princess Scelis and Sister Mona Qing have already arrived. You promised me before." They are going to the west to pick them up in person, now it’s up to you what to do.”

"Why are you back? Has the north of Ruidian been pacified? No, didn't you report last time that you were besieging Sosa City?" The fat man touched his nose in embarrassment, looking at the people in front of him with a bit of surprise. The nv turned out to be Bertrand Bonnie, whom I hadn’t seen for many days.

Berlant Bonnie, who had been fighting in the field for two months, had obviously lost some weight. Her pretty figure was put on a gorgeous black lace dress. The change was so drastic that the fat man secretly smacked his lips. No wonder he didn't recognize it at first sight.

This female knight, who has always shown off her coldness to others, is actually wearing black clothes and fair skin today, which further highlights her icy muscles and bones, coupled with a pair of mysterious eyes that are no less than the bright moon, making men dream of them. God, the body is so beautiful that no words can describe it, and it immediately gives rise to an extremely moving feeling.

"Don't mention this matter, okay? I'm really angry when I talk about it. It's obvious that we could have won it if we were just a little short of it, but someone ordered us to besiege instead of attacking. Don't you think it's too irritating?"

Bertrand Bonnie glared at the fat man with a resentful look on her face, and said with a rosy mouth, "This time I came with a joint request from all the generals. If someone doesn't cancel the order, I will be responsible." Rui Erdian, the commander of the northern war, has no face to go back. You can't even think about your wedding in peace. I will tell you sisters and sisters at that time. I don't know who boasted to others that he was a man seven times a night. Today is just the time for the sisters to gather together. Verify it”

"Ahem, you are seeking revenge." The fat man, who was as thick-skinned as a city wall, blushed slightly in front of Bonnie Berlant's words, knowing that if he didn't agree, this shady lady might actually do it. When something like this happened, thinking about the dazzling beauty of all the women, the fat man subconsciously licked his tongue. Seven times in one night, it seems that he really has seven wives this time. Is this a coincidence? But if we really encounter one, even if I am a fine iron, I will not be able to withstand it."

"Looking at His Majesty's expression, could it be that the big wedding doesn't welcome idlers like me?" Berlant Bonnie burst into dissatisfaction with a smile that was brighter than the stars in the sky, and said with a pun, "Perhaps Your Majesty feels that there are too many people and it's a bit overwhelming. Do you want me?" Please help me, just say that His Majesty is not feeling well and cannot get the rain and dew evenly. Maybe all the sisters, for my sake, will not ask His Majesty to perform his duties on the same night."

As if by magic, Bertrand Bonnie took out a document from her long skirt and handed it to the fat man. "Your Majesty only needs to sign this document, and I will be responsible for everything else."

"What are you thinking about?" The fat man took the document in a daze, glanced at it, his face changed slightly, and then handed the document back and categorically rejected it.

"No, this matter involves the overall strategy. Seven of the eight northern counties of Ruidian have been occupied. Even the last one is under siege. Compared with immediate occupation, the firmly occupied area is the most important.

The reason why you are allowed to besiege and not attack is because there is an unstable thrift in the adjacent Dorok Mountains.

You must give the Dorok people the illusion that their forces are weak and unsustainable, so that we can have more time to rest and mobilize our exhausted troops and stabilize the areas we have occupied."

"Illusion? Your Majesty is saying that the Dorok people may send troops to attack Ruilidian North." Bonnie's expression changed and she hesitated, "Probably not. I know the Dorok people. Although most of them are He is a natural mountain hunter, but he is always under the attack of Ruidian and Nord.

Although it has a population of more than 3 million and dozens of cities, it is limited to the eastern mountainous area due to perennial factional fighting. How could it be possible to suddenly send troops to Raeldian regardless of the terrible fact that the Nords are attacking the rear of the Dorok Mountains? Northern region? "

"Haha, there are never permanent enemies or permanent friends between kingdoms. The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth. "If there hadn't been accurate intelligence that showed that the Nord Third Army, which was deep in the Dorok Mountains, had withdrawn to the border, The Seventh and Ninth Legions, which were responsible for the main attack, also successively abandoned large areas they had previously occupied.

\u0026○¤nbsp; I would never have thought that the Nords would make such a big sacrifice just to encourage the Doroks to send troops to the northern region of Ruidian. How could the Doroks, who had no worries in the northern region, let go? After such a good opportunity to establish a country, the current Ruidian Lion is already old and can no longer suppress the ambitions of its eastern neighbor."

"This" Bertrand Bonnie heard the fat man's analysis, her face flickered. In order to occupy the area, she divided her 30,000 troops into more than ten squads and surrounded Sosa City with only 4,000 people, and the distance was many. The Lock border is only 50 miles away. If the Dorok army suddenly appears, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Falcon army that is dividing its forces to occupy various places in the north.

"Go back immediately to prepare for war." The fat man turned around, looked at her with bright eyes, and said, "Although I don't know when the Dorok people will take action, the vigorous ambitions are clearly visible. You may I don’t know yet, but they have also prepared a special gift for this wedding.”

"A gift?" Bonnie looked over confusedly. She knew that this time the Dorok Federation sent a federal speaker named Sazani, but she could tell from the fat man's cold and slightly murderous tone. I can tell that this is not what I'm referring to.

"Have you heard of Dorok's Cloud?" The fat man curled his lips slightly. "If you want to shake up the political situation of the Falcon Dynasty, is there any better opportunity than this wedding?"

"Which mountain legend are you talking about, Dorok's Cloud?" Hearing the word coming out of the fat man's mouth, Bertrand Bonnie quickly covered her mouth in surprise, and her pretty face that was hesitant to speak suddenly turned pale.

Everyone in Ruidian has heard of this name. The enchanting Dorok woman is like the colorful clouds in the sky, beautiful and dreamy. She always seems to have unfathomable beauty and attraction, but for Ruidian From a high-level perspective, this word also means another meaning. Dorok's beautiful woman killer is also as unpredictable as a cloud.

And "Dorok's Cloud" is a killer organization in the eastern mountainous area composed entirely of Dorok women. This organization has been passed down for hundreds of years and has lasted for many generations. It is one of the oldest killer organizations in Ikadiva. , whose history can even be traced back to the Millennium Dynasty, is a veritable legend in the mountains.

It is said that the Dark Flag, the exclusive killer organization of the Ikadiva royal family, also encountered fierce confrontation from this local assassination organization during the operation of infiltrating the eastern mountainous area. In the end, it had to fail and return, although it has been living in the deep mountains of Dorok. , but its reputation in recent years is comparable to that of Falcon Dynasty's exclusive Dark Thorn.

"Who else could be there besides them?" The fat man smiled nonchalantly and held his hands on the frame of the window, staring at the undulating mountains in the distance.

"Your Majesty means that they will assassinate you during this wedding." Bonnie's pretty face turned slightly blue nervously, her hands clenched into fists,

"No, the target shouldn't be me," the fat man said with a cold face, "If I were them, I would put papaya among the princesses I chose. Several of them have profound backgrounds, such as Mona Qing's profound máo Mo family, behind Dillenschis is the Dillens family. They are not just vassals of our Falcon Dynasty, they are princes with heavy troops. Once one of them is assassinated, have you ever thought about the terrible consequences?

The Dorok people's ambition to establish a country has been brewing for a long time. This time, with the support of the Nords, how could they let go of such a good opportunity, so it's okay not to send troops. If we send troops, the whole army will be pressed. As long as we Once the Falcon Dynasty is exposed, they can take the opportunity to sweep across the entire northern Ruidian with lightning speed.

"I was too reckless." Bertrand Bonnie looked ashamed. She thought that the north of Ruidian had been pacified, and she only needed to occupy Sosa to claim victory. But now she realized that she had thought too simply, and was so experienced. Compared with fat people, I still need more exercise.

The fat man paused, then said with a gloomy look, "I have already made arrangements. The two heads of the Dark Assassins have agreed to take personal responsibility for this matter. I believe that the Dorok people will not cause any problems in Vikia.

What I am worried about now is the princess and Prais of Rieldian. I have sent Hukoqili to greet them in person, hoping that they can escape this disaster.

As for the attack of the Dorok people, I have ordered an attack on Duo Weiyan in Dongting Grassland. In the name of celebrating the wedding, I will lead 30,000 Kugit cavalry to the south quickly, and join your 30,000 troops from the northeast to attack any enemy that enters the north of Rieldian."
