780 Dorok Offensive (7)

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, but the atmosphere inside the room seemed heavy.

Fatty listened quietly to the story about the Far North. As Austin Yun Dai described it, a strange continent appeared more and more clearly in Fatty's mind. It was a world of ice and snow wasteland. , in an extremely harsh environment, some people living on the opposite continent migrated from the frozen land due to some special reasons.

After thousands of years of continuous evolution and reproduction, a polar kingdom with many tribes has formed. Because its customs and culture are different from the Ikadiva people in the central part of the continent, they are called the alien tribe of the North by the Ikadiva people, and they call themselves "Austinians" believe in Austin, the god of sea and cold,

Austin Yundai paused and said with a sad look, "We Odins have our own cultural system and spiritual beliefs. Although the polar conditions are harsh, we can at least live freely. But since fifty years ago, As the last Austin kingdom connected to the other side was destroyed by the Dongting Empire that emerged from the northern prairie,

The evil Dongting people discovered the secret that the two continents can actually be connected to each other, and for some unknown reason, they continued to take advantage of the ice in winter to gather and send troops to expand to our far north.

They occupied the area leading to the east of the Frozen Howl and continued to invade our territory, forcing us to move to more difficult areas. Tool: No ads, full text, updated In the past few decades, the polar kingdom that originally had hundreds of tribes has now become extinct, 16 of them were either massacred while resisting the invasion of the Dongting people, or moved to a colder place. Ice field without a trace”

"So, the forces of the Dongting people are howling in ice?" The fat man pondered for a while, then looked at Austin Yun Dai with burning eyes, and a sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Are you kidding? Or do you think I am? So easy to deceive? "

"What do you mean?"

Austin Yun Dai's face was inexplicably surprised, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. In fact, she had indeed concealed a lot about the situation in the Far North. This time she came to the middle of the continent with a relatively mild climate. In addition to seeking medical treatment, she also wanted to She had no intention of seeking help, but she didn't expect that in just a few years, the balance maintained for hundreds of years would be broken. The Vekians, who were originally entrenched in the southwest, had swept through the central part of the country like a storm in the ice fields, becoming A great country second to none,

This has completely severed the connection with the mainland powers Ruidian and Kujit that they had worked so hard to establish. If you want to get help, you must deal with the Wikiyan people again. , it is tantamount to a disaster for the Austin family who are in urgent need of help.

She didn't expect this damn fat man to be so smart. He could deduce the real situation with just a few words. Her beautiful eyes stared at the fat man with sparkling eyes, and she complained unwillingly, "What I said is all the truth. You can go to this point." Miss Mercieren asked for confirmation,

She visited our Odins 3 years ago and toured there for a month, which can completely prove the authenticity of what I said! We Austinites are the people of the Ice God. Although we have temporarily surrendered to the Dongting people, we have never surrendered in our hearts. This betrayal of the eighteen tribes is proof! "

"This is very strange." The fat man stood up and stood in front of the window sill of the room with his hands behind his back. The sun shone on him, dragging out a black shadow. He looked outside intently and said in a condensed voice.

"If it is as you said, the power of the Dongting Empire is limited to the Ice Howl, then how does it rely on to continuously invade an area as large as the Far North? Could it be that it only relies on less than three months a year? Cross-sea time? Or a certain raid. This kind of combat without supplies is simply asking for death for an army of tens of thousands, let alone an army of hundreds of thousands.

As we all know, if you want to conquer an area, you must have a stable stronghold in the area. Otherwise, no matter how much time you spend, your efforts will be in vain.

The Dongting people must have a large stronghold and a considerable number of troops in your far north, otherwise. 15 It is absolutely impossible to suppress you. You didn’t mention this most important content. You obviously want to hide something. Such an attitude makes it difficult for us to cooperate! "

You know! "Austin Yundai's face turned pale. After hesitating for a while, he continued, "The people from Dongting control the Angus and Lenkes areas east of the Frozen Howl.

And they have been gathering troops there since May this year. When I left in September, the Dongting people had gathered more than 100,000 troops. Among them, there were not many troops belonging to the empire itself. There were about 2 corps. The rest of the troops came from some scum from the Far North."

"Scum?" The fat man raised his head and looked at Austin Yun Dai with some surprise,

The beautiful princess opposite showed a heartbreaking smile that could make people sad, and said, "In the face of powerful threats, not all the descendants of the Austinites can stick to their oaths and traditions. Ten years ago, Edom Howl The Eight-day Tribe, dominated by the Asu'u tribe in Betty City, chose to join the Dongting people without any restraint.

In the more than ten years since the Dongting people invaded, they have become a huge threat to the entire polar kingdom. They are responsible for many cold areas that even the Dongting people cannot reach. They are the most evil minions of the Dongting people. With the strong support of the Dongting people, the military strength is about 50,000, including 10,000 of the strongest snow war dogs.

For many tribes with a population of less than ten thousand people in severe cold areas, it is enough to become a force to destroy them! Under their coercion, about half of the tribes had already chosen to surrender.

The material transportation lines of the Dongting Army also pass through their area. They are a shame to our descendants of Austin! This time, the leader of the Boransi tribe was killed because he couldn't stand them! "

"Such scoundrels will exist in any environment!" Fatty comforted him with some understanding. He stretched out his hand to open the curtain of the window, letting in the bright sunshine from outside.

The bright yellow beam of light shone in from the window, dispelling the thick coldness in the room, and at the same time shining a ray of sunshine into the heart of the alien princess.

"Believe me, as long as you let go of your heart, all the suffering will pass!" The fat man turned around and showed a bright smile.

"Thank you." Austin Yundai suddenly straightened her body. She didn't know why. The man in front of her gave her a strong confidence. It seemed that all the suffering was melted in this smile.

In early winter, the streets of Susuo were strewn with withered yellow leaves. The sun was setting in the west. The spiers of the majestic buildings were projected on the sparsely populated streets. The tall sycamore trees were swaying silently in the cold wind. The deep twilight enveloped this ancient city. A magnificent city.

A carriage with a cross pattern of axes printed on it passed through the middle of the street and drove into the alley next to Central Street. Pedestrians on the roadside looked at the carriage, with complicated emotions in their eyes. Familiar people winked. , whispering "Lord Salton" in c mix

The people in the carriage didn't seem to care about the comments of the people on the roadside. They passed through the surrounding clean streets and stopped in front of a small mén at the end of the street. The door was open and they were wearing black officer uniforms and gold badges. Salton jumped out of the car.

The two men in civilian clothes standing guard in front of the door went up and saluted him, "Sir, you are here."

"Is your lord at home?" Salton asked politely.

"At home. Please let me know." The man said respectfully. He entered the small door and came out quickly: "Your Excellency, please invite me."

"Thank you." Salton nodded politely. Although he was the general person in charge of the Susuo area, Salton was so polite to a little person who was looking at the door. This was surprising. No one would have thought that in this remote and quiet alley, there lived a very important character in the Kingdom of Nord.

The famous Platinum Prince Argoslarid, the younger brother of King Agrolke of Nord, temporarily lives here. This prince, who was once known as the first general of Nord, was also a suave hero in his youth. Later, due to some special reasons, I had to choose to retire from the military and live a secluded life.

Although the small courtyard is inconspicuous from the outside, the inside of the courtyard is unique and full of rockeries. The pond is quiet, the trees are lush, and the exquisite pavilions are looming among the trees. Salton knew that this was originally a royal villa of the Redian royal family. After the Nord Kingdom took over, it rewarded this place to the platinum prince Yagoslarid. This was the care of His Majesty Yagrork. heart

But there is another theory, that is, the Nord King Agrolk is already old and does not need to be affected by too many external forces on the issue of heirs. The attitude of the Platinum Prince Yagoslarid, no matter from the perspective of From within the royal family, or from the perspective of the military, it undoubtedly has a great influence on the choice of heir. For him to leave Nord Kyoto at this moment, it feels a bit like an exile.

At the entrance of the corridor, a little boy of four or five years old suddenly rushed out. He was running towards Salton with a lively expression, waving a toy sword in his hand, shouting with claws and teeth, "Drive, drive, drive! I am the Falcon Cavalry, you are the hateful Rider Ridian, fight, fight!" "

Behind the little boy, chasing a beautiful young man from a distance, a soft call came, "Deans, don't run away... don't be rude to your uncle... come back soon..."

Salton showed a kind smile, leaned down and picked up the little boy, lifting him high. Although the child struggled desperately. But Salton's hands were as if they were cast, and he said with a smile, "Master Deans, you are not good again. You are a Nord, why do you always pretend to be a Vekian?"

"Let go, let me go..." The little boy struggled hard. His big dark eyes rolled around, his little mouth raised high, and he yelled, "Uncle Salton is the worst! They all said that we can't defeat the Vekians, and it's all because of Uncle Salton."

"Really!" At this time, the beautiful young man had rushed over and said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Deans. Come down quickly, don't be rude to uncle."

Salton smiled indifferently at the little boy's rudeness. Putting the little boy down, he bowed respectfully to the beautiful young man, "Hello, Duchess of Anse, you are in good health."

The child was freed and disappeared into the garden.

"Master Deans is talented, intelligent and full of energy..." Salton looked at the child's back and let out a hearty laugh.

"Salton! Why is this little bastard so smart? He is the best at making trouble and the best at pissing!" A thick, old voice sounded behind Salton.

∷※; Salton quickly turned around. I saw an old man with white hair coming out of the corridor yawning.

The fifty-eight-year-old prince's collar was unbuttoned. The bottom of the snow-white shirt was exposed, and it was obvious that he had just woken up. Prince Yagoslarid waved casually, "Salton, you came just in time. I have something to ask you."

"Yes, the officer also has some important matters to report to you, sir." Salton quickly bowed and saluted, "This is an urgent report from Edian Funk from the Dorok Mountains." Salton said respectfully. He took out an encrypted letter from inside. The prince stretched out his hand to open it and read it, then stuffed it into the sea lightly.

After entering the study and sitting down, the smiles on both of their faces faded, replaced by a serious look. Prince Yagoslarid briefly waved his hand.

"To be honest, my brother has already lost the confidence to go north. If you are still struggling like this, you are not afraid of being stabbed behind you again."

After hearing the prince's words, Salton's face darkened slightly, and he said word by word in a very cautious tone, "It's one thing to move north, but it's another thing to move to the Dorok Mountains.

Now the Falcon Dynasty has completely occupied Ruidian, the center of the continent. Although it paid a heavy price, it has also gained huge benefits. According to the latest intelligence, the last resister of the Ruidian Kingdom, Aisimiya, We have declared our submission to the Falcon Dynasty. If the northern part of the Dorok Mountains falls into the hands of the Falcon Dynasty, we will completely lose the initiative in the war."

"Oh? Why do you think so?" Prince Yagoslarid looked at him sleepily, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. "Even if the northern part of the Dorok Mountains falls into the hands of the Falcon Dynasty, for us Nord It doesn’t seem to have much impact. The Falcon Dynasty’s army will not cross the Dorok Mountains, right? "

"Haha, since I experienced that terrible day and night, I now believe that as long as people can think of it, the Vekia Falcon dares to do it!" A trace of sadness appeared on the corner of Salton's mouth. "With such a strategy as the Vekia Falcon In everyone's eyes, all unimaginable attack points will become the most terrifying weakness. If the war can be won by crossing the Dorok Mountains, the Vekia Falcon will definitely do it. No one knows the continent's number one military god. What are you thinking about in your mind?

Think about the fact that in the last battle, just because of a mistake in a gap, more than 100,000 troops were almost completely collapsed by the Vekia Falcon's suspicious tactics.

Every time I think of this, I feel endless shame, anger and fear.

Salton paused, blushed and sighed, "I have also figured it out during this period. The reason why Your Majesty immediately canceled my position as Deputy Minister of Military Affairs after the imperial meeting was because of the collective opposition from the traditional martial arts." In addition, it is also because he has seen through one point. A commander who has lost his fighting spirit will never be able to defeat the Vekia Falcon.

Instead of letting me regret the blow of failure and eventually become timid and vulnerable, it is better to put down the burden and wait until my mind is stable before discussing the decisive battle with the Northern Falcon Dynasty! This can also eliminate the hostility of traditional martial arts forces towards me."

"It's rare that you can understand my brother's painstaking efforts!" Prince Yagoslarid's face was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a solemn look. "Since you have such an awareness, then I am not afraid to tell you the truth.

Have you ever thought that if it was not a false attack, but a real general attack of more than 100,000 elite Falcon troops, our King Nord would not just collapse two regiments, but more than ten The entire army of ten thousand people was destroyed in those mountains. At this point, it should be said that the Ruidian people saved us once unintentionally, using the blood of 200,000 Ruidian people to prevent us from a crisis of destruction."

I really haven't thought about it. . At that time, it was too revealing to deal with the exposed situation. His subordinates were already so excited that Salton was already sweating profusely. He had never thought about this problem.

It was an extremely precise and terrifying raid, just like the wind sweeping over the mountains, nothing more. Such thoughts had deeply penetrated into his mind. The Battle of Staros that shocked the continent later had already The other one may have been buried deeply, but now it was suddenly brought up, and Salton realized what a terrible mistake it was.

Prince Yagoslarid smiled and patted his shoulder with his hand, "Don't be nervous, this is just an idea after all, just like you would think that the Falcon Dynasty might fight across the Dorok Mountains.

The old and narrowed eyes of Prince Agoslarid suddenly opened, flashing a fascinating light, and said slowly

"To be honest, I'm very pleased that you have such a view. My brother arranged for me to come to Su Ruolai, which actually means that you and I can unite to resist the Northern Falcon Dynasty. Although you are thoughtful, you are not a traditional martial artist after all. My brother is right You have high hopes, but you also put a lot of pressure on him. This pressure does not come from your enemies, but from your own people behind you!”

Although I am lazy, after all, I am the chief of the royal family who is responsible for traditional martial arts affairs. With me in charge, I can help you share most of the pressure from the rear. Those generals of the martial arts family who don't like you, no matter how bold they are, can't do anything in front of me. Never dare to fart. Only with me here can you concentrate on fighting against the Falcon Dynasty! "

"His Majesty is really kind to his subordinates..." Salton, who has always been steady, could not calm down his excitement. He originally thought that he was the scapegoat for the defeat, but he did not expect that His Majesty, who is above him, would give him such great influence. expect,

At this moment, a servant of the Prince's Mansion wearing a blue rust-edged uniform, holding a report in his hand, walked in from outside with a respectful look

"Lord Salton, this is an urgent report sent by your guards"

"Oh, urgent intelligence?" Salton took it with some surprise, and tore it open in front of Prince Aguslarid, looking at it with an unbelievable look "How is it possible, how could the battle flag of Vikia Falcon appear in Aire in the north of Dorok? When did the three main battle flag regiments of the Falcon Dynasty also enter the north of Dorok! What are these intelligence men doing! Such important news is only sent back now, what's the point of it"

"Vikia Falcon went to Aire in the north of Dorok in person! It seems that your guess may come true!" After taking the report from Salton, Prince Aguslarid's face suddenly became heavier,

...
