Chapter 789: Letter from the Two Princesses

If Karin and Artoria were both around, then Lu Xi's letter would probably lead to a war if he read someone's letter first. But fortunately, these two princesses are not there, so there is no pressure at all.

The problem now is that Artoria has a letter and Karin has a stack of letters, and Artoria's letter is placed on top of Karin's stack of letters, so naturally there is no need to worry about who it is first.

"Dear Lu Xi, see Xinqi:"

Well, the "dear" at the head of the row is already very satisfying to Lu Xi. Although he could fully imagine how difficult it was for Artoria to use the title, even if it was just to write it down with a pen.

Overall, Artoria's letter is exactly as Lu Xi guessed. She used nearly 2,000 words to express her current anxiety and deep apologies for not being able to rush to help her, and another 3,000 words to say that Lu Xi would definitely be intact in the face of evil, and she didn't know whether to express her blessings or persuade her to believe it. In addition, the knight princess spent nearly 1,000 words to express her lovesickness. The last 500 words are the recent situation that shows that she has now become the commander of the coalition forces.

Lu Xi really didn't expect that Artoria, a natural girl who seemed to have only practiced swords all her life, would have such a good literary talent, deep and full of affection, and would write such a large paragraph of text. Although the choice of words and sentences is a little verbose, it should not be a talent to become a writer, but the accumulation of rhetoric is really not low, and the application is still quite methodical, and at first glance, it is a complete education and training in this area.

Well, the literary style of the knight princess should be at least by the standards of an ordinary literary girl. It's already at the top level.

But if you think about it carefully, it is normal for aristocratic girls in this era, in addition to literature and art, they do lack necessary entertainment activities, and it is much healthier to like literature than to soak in the luxurious salons of high nobles as courtesans, or to be nymphomaniac to opera singers. Even a girl like Artoria, who has received the most traditional martial spirit and military training from the Nords since she was a child, has a good handwriting and a good hand.

"Dear Artoria. See the letter. I'm very healthy, intact, and full of energy, having just recaptured the treasure in the Shadows, and saved the world once in the way. Lu Xi began to reply: "The day has taken away a little of our youth, but such a day must not destroy the light you have given me. You've slowly made a difference for me, made me better, made me stronger, made me more responsible. Beautiful as you are. In my poems, never grow old. As beautiful as you, as long as I think of you, I will not grow old......"

I always feel that the homogenization is a bit serious when I write it like this.,And dropping the book bag like this doesn't seem to be in line with my painting style! Well, you must write what is in your heart below. Lu Xi thought.

"I love your simplicity, I love your luxury, I love your purity. I also love your thinking, love your strength and sassiness. Of course, I also love your softness and warmth. I miss your emerald eyes, your golden silk hair, your beautiful face, your warm and fair skin, your cherry red lavender-scented lips......"

Uh,No matter how you write it, it's going to become a femdom article, right? This carelessness may attract the attention of the divine beast of the universe far away. It's a big bad thing to be swallowed by a person with a bone.

Lu Xi pondered for a while, and probably could already imagine Artoria's reaction when she received this letter, and thought it was really interesting, so she continued to write in this tone.

He could feel that he hadn't been able to rush to the dark area to support him. Artoria must have been very disappointed and entangled, and even struggled with a little self-loathing. In addition to worrying about her own safety, the knight princess was even more worried about what she would be dissatisfied with her. This girl doesn't look like an awe-inspiring, heroic natural knight princess, with a rough and hearty tomboy temperament all over her body, but once it comes to herself, her mind is still quite heavy, and she is a typical type of rigid on the outside and soft on the inside.

Lu Xi vaguely felt that the more undisciplined he became, the more he played hooligan, and Artoria, who was full of discipline, would definitely be so frightened that her face was red and her face was steaming, and she would definitely hide the letter carefully close to her, not to show it to others, and she would definitely not dare to take a second look, but she would be relieved.

After finishing Artoria's side, Lu Xi took out a large stack of Karin's letters. Since Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess officially raised the flag in Winterfell to rebel south, the correspondence between the two has been severed again. However, looking at this weight, Karin should have written a letter every two or three days, and in this way, she slowly accumulated a large stack, but she did not send it. Perhaps she knew that in this stage of chaos, it was difficult for letters to reach the parties.

This time, the pile of letters must have been brought by her messenger who had sent to sell arms.

Karin's letters are numerous, and things are naturally trivial. From the military situation she is now facing, the political problems, the trivial things that happened on the march, the situation she encountered, and even the uselessness of complaining about the recklessness of her subordinates, and ridiculing the stubbornness and ignorance of the factional aristocratic alliance on her uncle's side.

Of course, there are also some undisciplined provocative remarks, anyway, this pair of various postures and all kinds of knowledge have been tried, and Karin's carnivorous queen's skin is definitely dozens of times thicker than Artoria's. Haven't you said it before? She's the kind of girl who will be bolder than you once she gives her body and mind to you...... Oh, this section was devoured by the divine beasts that were rampaging in the multiverse, so many people may not have seen it.

In short, if you want to collect some of the contents of Karin's letters and compile them into a book, you can definitely publish them directly as a book.

The news of the civil war in Oakley that Lu Xi could get was changed several times, and although it could be seen that the situation was developing in Karin's favor, more details were really obtained from these letters.

Karin raised her flag in Winterfell at the beginning of April 1225, the year of the Radiant Era, which was coming to an end. Prior to this, not only did she directly wipe out a wealthy family in the north that had been inherited for thousands of years, but also the commander of the Tenth Legion on the northern border, Tetus? General Cyber also reached a certain tacit understanding. After completely removing the hidden danger in the rear, she completed the biggest thing before she raised the flag, and reorganized her recruited private army into an army known as the "Young Praetorian Guard". Although most of this army is composed of landless peasants, young sons of noble families, adventurers and mercenaries, etc. However, the junior officer corps is all Karin's sworn friends trained from the orphanage, and the weapons are all carefully crafted by dwarven craftsmen. As a result, the equipment and organization of this army have almost reached the peak of this era, and the loyalty is completely full.

So, in just 4 months, she was able to crush two large enemy forces in a row. He also personally commanded the Young Praetorian Guard, and defeated the aristocratic coalition army with more than three times the number of troops on the Honghe River, thus reversing the unfavorable strategic situation in one fell swoop. After collecting the 20,000 mature Xilin war horses that her grandfather left in the Honghe Forbidden Horse Farm, she led the army to officially approach the hinterland of the empire, approaching the most important city north of the imperial capital of Serokhya, Herin City.

When Her Royal Highness the First Princess of the World arrived at Herring on September 13, when she fought with the two armies of Duke Jon and Earl Daeron, the total number of troops under her command had exceeded 150,000.

On the other hand, the stormy "Emperor" of Auckland, Karin's uncle His Majesty Iken finally decided to grit his teeth and go north to fight for his niece.

Here comes the sad question. He was the Emperor of the Auckland Empire, but only two of the seven Central Legions stationed in the capital were willing to swear allegiance to him. The remaining five, including the First and Third, the Praetorian Guard, who possessed the Sun King's banner and title, were completely in defiance of Iken's edict.

So, by the time the "Emperor" of Ekon determined that these professional soldiers were simply unwilling to take sides easily in the face of the uncertain situation, the time had already dragged on until October. He left half of his army to look after the five central legions stationed on the outskirts of Serokhya, while he himself left the imperial capital with the rest of his army and marched north to reinforce Herring.

Judging by the words of these letters. Karin's rebellion, but overall it was smooth sailing.

Of course. Between her uncle, Prince Iken, oh, now the "Emperor" of Iken, is supported by most of the local lords, and is himself the head of the gate lords, the Lancaster family. Although as the patriarch of the Lion family, the current Prime Minister of the Empire, Duke Tyrion, has never expressed his position. At the beginning of the war, she returned to Castle Rock to recruit troops, but the Prime Minister's sister, the current Imperial Empress, brazenly began to abuse the Lancaster family's resources and connections, and soon raised a large amount of money, and also collected more than 100,000 allied troops from the Imperial subjects of Stormy Cape.

Karin was right. Except for her own nemesis. and the Sun King's new ministers, who understood his political ideas, and the entire empire was her enemy. No one wants to see a local lord in the Empire, a minority subjugated by the Empire, a vassal who has to bow to the Empire, a transnational plutocracy in Neosfia, or even cults and lawbreakers, no one wants to see an empress as young as the Sun King ascend to the throne. Even the city-state of Sothness, which was ruthlessly cleaned up by the Sun King across the sea, wished that Her Royal Highness the world's first princess would become a historical term sooner.

The so-called wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind, this is the truth.

So, from Karin's last letter, Lu Xi also felt a trace of her tiredness and hardship. No matter how strong she is into the sun, Her Royal Highness the world's first princess is only a girl in her early twenties after all. She may also have moments of vulnerability.

In fact, Karin, who had won all battles along the way, finally suffered the biggest setback since the flag was raised under Herring City.

The defender of Herring City was Bochmond, Marquis of Antunique. He was a close friend of Emperor Iken, and was a knight attendant at an early age, studying and practicing martial arts together, and as an adult, he served as a knight captain in the territory of Prince Cézer for a period of time, responsible for the training and command of the private army when Iken was still a prince. Of course, although he was a typical soldier who grew up in the way of nepotism among nobles and favored courtiers, he was also a high-achieving student who graduated from the Saint Laurent Knight Academy, crossed the sea to participate in the Sothness Crusade War, and made great achievements, and was a rare military talent under the command of the "emperor".

Herring's defenders were only 30,000 men, but the Marquis of Bochmond had literally turned the city of a transit point north of Cyroxia into an impregnable military fortress.

After a month of siege, Karin, who had five times the strength of her opponent, was still unable to capture Herin, and by the time Icon arrived with nearly 200,000 reinforcements. Karin had no choice but to contact the siege and began a long military standoff with her uncle.

Karin's letter is due on November 18. On that day, the imperial banner of the "Emperor" of Ekon was already fluttering in the wind at the head of Herin City.

…… Well, it should be a long time, right? Anyway, if you count the current time, it should have been nearly two months since the confrontation. Of course, it's also possible that Karin has already won, or has to retreat north.

…… What a shame! Carlin. We thought that if you were given a year, you would be able to sit on the mountain of obsida and show off your might. Lu Xi felt that if Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess was here, he would definitely laugh at the other party without hesitation.

But then again, what the hell is the old man's ambiguous smile and weird eyes like that before?

…… Belch. Huh? Feed! No way!!!!

However, this is not scientific! The timing is not right! (To be continued......)
