The murderous news of the fall of the Jelalens Line in just one day shook the entire Nord Kingdom

"How could the Gerlarence fall, and how could the army of 40,000 men not hold out for even a day?" said Alan Bo, the new military minister of the Nord Kingdom, with a solemn expression at his desk.

"I can't believe it, can't it be a false alarm?"

Duke Stankhoff, who had just taken over as the head of the defense department of Kyoto, looked at the military newspaper on the table and said in a hoarse voice,

"There is no doubt about this, this morning, I have received a report of the approaching Falcon Army on the Acropolis of Kyoto, and it seems that Geralens' has indeed fallen!" said the Minister of War, Alan Bo, with a bad face,

"So, it's true!" After confirming the basic facts, Duke Stankhoff was also locked in a suffocating silence, as the head of the defense of Kyoto,

He was very aware of the current situation in Kyoto.

The remaining troops in Nord Kyoto are divided into three parts, the first is the Janissaries of the palace, numbering 5,000 people, well-equipped, composed of the children of the traditional samurai of Nord Kyoto, which has always been the most elite combat force in the Nord army, and is also the main reliance on the defense of Kyoto, but without the approval of His Majesty the King, the command of this army is basically not in the hands of the Ministry of War.

The second part is the Kyoto City Guard, because many elites have been transferred to the Geralens Line, and now there are only 15,000 troops left, with average equipment, because it is responsible for the maintenance of security in Kyoto all year round, and the soldiers are mostly composed of civilians and minor nobles, an army that has never been on the battlefield, how much effect it can have, even Duke Stankhoff himself does not know

The third part is the First Praetorian Guard, which was originally responsible for the defense of Kyoto, but unfortunately suffered heavy losses in the south of Vekia, the first army of more than 30,000 people, less than 20,000 people came back alive, because the front line continues to draw troops, until now, the first army of the Nord Kingdom has not been replenished, but this is indeed the only main battle force that can be mobilized under the command of Duke Stanhe,

The situation in front of him made Steinkhoff feel depressed for a while, there was a shortage of major generals, how could he resist the elite of the Falcon Dynasty who were heading south?

This time, even King Yagrolk, who had not made much inquiries about other matters, sent the clerk of the palace, Neuig, to summon the Marquis of Allenbo, the Minister of War, to explain the situation at once.

"It is an immutable fact that the traitor Crimson Suo was in battle and led 20,000 valiant kingdom soldiers to die in battle. When arresting the traitor, Scarlet Suo resisted and killed on the spot in public, such a regrettable thing happened, it disturbed His Majesty's cultivation, it was really caused by the carelessness of his subordinates, and I am really ashamed!"

The performance made by the war-stricken Minister of Military Affairs, Marquis Allenbo, also quickly spread from the Nord high-level, followed by thousands of denunciations from the former wealthy Scarlet family in Kyoto, and the news of the Crimson Soo's rebellion was like a bomb exploded in the Nord military circles, and the Crimson family, a powerful family with three generals, the king relied on his right-hand man, overnight, fell from the peak of power to the situation of being imprisoned in prison, and the change was so great that people couldn't help but feel unstoppable.

"Even the fierce generals of the Crimson family, who are the most important of the king's majesty, have surrendered to the Falcon Dynasty, is the fortune of the kingdom really coming to an end" In an office on the Acropolis of the Nord Kingdom, the defense officer, Count Siansaris, stood in front of the window of the office, staring at the sky, and asked a few henchmen behind him

"Yes, who would have thought that even a century-old famous family like the Crimson Family would betray the kingdom!" Several squadron leaders standing behind him shook their heads with bleak faces, and their tones revealed some desolation and hesitation,...,

Thinking that he was going to use less than 10,000 troops to fight against the most elite Central Army of the tens of thousands of Falcon armies heading south, such a huge disparity in strength, and to face the Continental God of War who had never been defeated, no one felt cold behind his back,

"Lord Earl, now that the kingdom is gone, we might as well ......," one of his subordinates said intermittently with a hesitant expression, his voice not yet finished,

"What might as well be surrendered? Is this what a Nord soldier should say?" the defense officer, Count Siansaris, turned around and stared at him fiercely, so frightened that he couldn't even say what was going on

"No...... No, the subordinates mean that we should immediately strengthen our defenses and wait for rescue ......from Kyoto," the squadron leader quickly turned his face and said

The Earl of Siansaris, the Defence Officer, was an outlier in the Nord military circles, he was once a confidant of Salton, and he was also one of the few young officers like Salton, who was built as a low-ranking nobleman or commoner.

But also because of the impact of the Salton turmoil, the traditional samurai forces who hated Salton, from the flag commander of the front-line combat unit, were transferred back to the idle bubbling local guard officer of the Kyoto Acropolis,

The Acropolis of Kyoto sounds very good, it seems to be close to Kyoto, and the responsibility is extremely heavy, but in fact, everyone knows very well that if it really hits Kyoto one day, it will inevitably be the most severe moment of the kingdom, and the only role of the Acropolis on the periphery of the periphery is to consume the enemy's advancing strength and buy time for Kyoto to consolidate its defense, which is "cannon fodder" in layman's terms

"What a strange argument, this is probably the will of heaven!" In the camp of the commander of the Falcon Army, the fat man also put the report in his hand on the table in a surprised tone,

He originally ordered the destruction of the city of Geralens in order to deter the other acropolis on the outskirts of Kyoto and reduce the resistance that might be encountered, but he didn't expect that the Nord army in the city of Geralens would be in chaos without a fight, and they would withdraw on their own before even a day.

This time, it really has nothing to do with me! The fat man's eyes blinked, and he felt full of grievances, because of the embarrassing relationship with Crimson Rui, the fat man still cares a lot about the Scarlet family of three generals,

Even the stubborn Nord diehard, who once assassinated him in public on the battlefield, did not ask for his life, just temporary house arrest, he was so careful, but there were still people from the Crimson family because of his death,,

"Well, that's a bit of a hassle!"

The fat man paced back and forth in his tent, and the fact that Crimson Soo was killed in the mutiny would soon spread throughout the Ikadiva continent through various channels, and naturally it would also reach the ears of Crimson Rui, who was still in the three northern counties, and Scarlet Rui had been sick in a farm in the northern county and had not returned to Virtue.

In fact, the fat man also knows that now that the Falcon Dynasty and the Nord Kingdom are fighting one after another, although the July Scarlet Red Army is the main force stationed on the southern border, in such an urgent situation, it is only a matter of time before it is transferred to the front line.

Crimson Rui has this negative attitude, nothing more than to avoid meeting herself on the battlefield, at that time, no matter how unwilling she is Crimson Rui, the warrior blood flowing in her body will prompt her to fight to the death with herself, and now that Crimson Suo has an accident, Crimson Rui, who got the news, will inevitably return to Nord, and at that time, this difficult duel is inevitable

"Your Majesty, the Admiralty is urgent!"

Just when the fat man was distressed, the adjutant outside the tent hurriedly walked in again and respectfully placed a blue military newspaper printed with expedited fire paint on the fat man's table

"Admiralty, is there any movement in the Nord Navy?"

The fat man's eyebrows frowned slightly, picked up the report on the table, quickly opened the red fire paint on the report with his fingers, his eyes swept over sternly, his face changed, and the hand holding the report even trembled slightly...,

"Damn, what's going on?" the fat man's calm face showed a hint of hideousness, and he snorted in a low voice, clenched his hands into a ball, and his eyes flashed with intense murderous intent,

This is a report from the Tiha region, transmitted through the Admiralty,

The person who drafted this report was the head of the Tiha Regional Supervision Department, Angelo, because the location of the headquarters of the Ministry of Supervision was not on the front line, but in the northern county, which was 500 miles away from here.

If according to the normal reporting procedures of the Ministry of Supervision, this report will be sent to the Ministry of Supervision first, and after review, it will be submitted to the general director, Lidastov, and it will be delivered according to the grade arrangement, and it will take at least half a month or more to reach the hands of the fat man.

If you count the time to reply to the letter, it will be about a month later when Tiha receives the fat man's order

For Angelo, of course the fat man knows who it is, this is a powerful pawn that he has planted on the southern coast of Nord, and this time he sent this guy Tirnarant to Tiha, hoping that this guy with a ruthless skill will help him quickly suppress the smuggling trade in the Tiha area.

Tiha is the focus of commerce and trade, and the rampant smuggling is impossible to control without a strong person

With this guy's cold-blooded and arrogant, even if there is a disagreement, it is difficult to find the required collaborators, this is a win-win result, the biggest advantage of this guy is that he is ruthless enough, not afraid of offending people, and is definitely the best person to control Tiha, a chaotic and rich southern town full of money temptation,

But the fat man didn't expect that Tyrnarant, who was alias Anyro, would send such a message to himself,

Looking at the red seal of the Falcon Emblem on the last signature of the letter, the fat man's eyelids jumped unnaturally, and he almost had the urge to immediately order to stop attacking Nord, such a Falcon Crest is only his own in the Falcon Dynasty, and the only one that is not in his own hands was given to Tulit Colleen who rushed back to the Obaro continent,

The moment the fat man saw this seal, he almost thought that this was his ring, but after taking a closer look, his face relaxed a little, the falcon crest on the seal was not wrong, but if someone who has seen a real falcon ring, they will see that the falcon on this seal looks a little rough

But it can be seen that in many details, such as the falcon on the seal coat of arms is six claws, and the falcon's eyes are double pupils, these details cannot be made such a realistic seal without real physical specimens

"Something happened to Tulit Colin?" The fat man couldn't believe it, he sent a 300-strong guard to escort Tulit Colin, and he also brought several of the fastest Royal Green Eagles, if something really went wrong in the Obaro Continent, even if the guards couldn't come back, wouldn't the Royal Green Eagle come back?

However, from the time calculation, it has been 2 months since Tulit Colin returned to the Obaro continent, and according to the normal route and distance, it should be on the way back at this moment

"Is this a joke? Or is it a false alarm?" The fat man was also a little unsure, although he didn't know why this happened, but the Obaro continent where Tulit Colin is located, even with his own strength, is helpless beyond the reach of the whip,

According to the letter from Tirnarant, the Norman merchants who had brought the heraldic ring had been forcibly shoved by a woman when they were embarking in the harbor, and assured them that they would be richly rewarded if they brought it to the Falcon dynasty on the other side of the ocean.

"There is more than one such ring, and in order to confirm this suspicion, the subordinates have also found almost the same heraldic ring in some other Normandy merchants, and the subordinates speculate that this ring that seems to be genuine should be a replica processed on the basis of the genuine one in order to increase the probability of delivery!"

Tynarant expressed his opinion in the letter, as a former high-ranking nobleman of Vecchia, Tilnarant naturally found the problem on the heraldic pattern, and his judgment was extremely reasonable!

"Give the Admiralty an order immediately, and try every means to send someone to the Obaro continent, I need to know the truth of this matter!" the fat man suppressed the anxious state in his heart, put Tillarant's letter back in the envelope, and shouted loudly to the adjutant on duty outside the door,

The adjutant on duty who was sitting there quickly picked up the pen on the table, only to hear a brisk sound of pen, a concise and clear order was written, and the guard who was waiting next to him hurriedly gave it to the fat man inside, and after examining it, the fat man was extremely cautious to stamp his coat of arms on the letterhead mountain,

"Majesty ......" less than ten minutes later, the adjutant walked in with a report, his face looked hesitant, everyone knows that the most annoying one of the falcons is that they have to be busy with official business even during their rest time.

And now it is noon, the bright sun outside in autumn is the Falcon Majesty's favorite, but from this morning, the Falcon Majesty seems to be a little worried and hurried, no one knows the answer, the battle ahead should go very smoothly, after quickly breaking through the Nord defense line in Gelarence, Varisian's 2 elite cavalry regiments have rushed into the outskirts of Nord Kyoto, and it is only a matter of time before the army overwhelms Nord Kyoto,

This view is not only the Falcon Dynasty's side, but also the Nord side, which is not a few, the news from the front line, the troops in many small fortresses outside the Nord Kyoto have chosen to move closer to Kyoto, giving up the plan to hold on to the periphery,

Even in some cities closer to Kyoto, there was a large number of refugees, no one knows, the Falcon Dynasty army that came in large numbers, what attitude will be used to treat the Nords who stayed in the local area, but from the perspective of those occupied areas on the southern coast, when the Falcon army raided the southern coast, it burned and looted along the way, and turned more than ten cities into ashes, so in the eyes of most Nords, the Falcon Dynasty in the north represents not only strong, but also brutal, and most of the people left behind in the end are old, weak, sick and disabled,

"What's the matter this time?" said the fat man, with his hands behind his back, without turning around

"It's Lord Saron and the generals' letter of request for war!" the adjutant respectfully spread out the report and replied loudly, "Lord Saron said that now the Nord Kyoto is in sight, and the Nords have withdrawn most of their forces into the Nord Kyoto, relatively speaking, this is the best time for our army to break through the Acropolis of Kyoto in one fell swoop.

As long as one direction is attacked, the strategic goal of the troops coming to the Nord Kyoto can be achieved! It can not only solve the dilemma of the Anruod defense line, but also contain the Nord army's support for the Anruod side, and ......"

"Okay, it seems that this guy is still so uncontrollable!" the fat man turned around and waved his hand, interrupting the adjutant's report,

He took Salon's report on the battle, signed his name as ugly as a book from heaven, and then handed Wen Jiàn to the adjutant in front of him.

Said "Sue Sù Salon that guy, I approved the petition for war with him and the generals, but it is okay to attack the Acropolis of Nord Kyoto, and it must not be touched for Kyoto, this is a death order, whoever hits Nord Kyoto, I want his head!"

"Don't attack Nord Kyoto......? I'm afraid that Lord Salon and the generals will ......"

The adjutant who took the report showed a sad face, the goal of this battle is Nord Kyoto, as long as Nord Kyoto is taken, whether it is the Anruod region that is still fighting hard, or for the entire Ikadwiva continent, it is an extremely important event,

Now that everyone is holding back their energy to grab enough wealth and glory in the battle to attack Nodu Kyoto, how can such an order suddenly convince Salon, who has always been known for his bad temper

It's like being in front of a group of lust-obsessed men, suddenly putting a beautiful and peerless naked woman, but asking everyone to refrain from it

"Carry out the order!" the fat man looked at him with a stern face, as if he knew what he was worried about, and took off the saber from his waist

"Give this to Salon, and sue him, this is my promise to him, and the glory of Nord Kyoto will surely fall on his head,

But if he disobeys the order, I will immediately remove him from commanding the attack on Nord Kyoto, anyway, I will give him this opportunity if he wants to be generous once!"
