While the war was raging in the Nord Kyoto area, the Thad Kyoto on the island of Salander was very quiet, and the choppy North Sea of Salander was much quieter in the autumn season

'The waves are surging gently' waves are swaying in layers of white spray'The sea looks deep blue and the ground is dark blue'You can't see the bottom at a glance.The huge waves on the sea that you can often see some time ago are not visible at all at this time'

If it weren't for the icy waters, the Sea of Salander would look like a breezy and sunny day, and of course this would only be superficial, in fact, there would still be an undercurrent in the depths of the Sea of Salander.

Since the beginning of the year, when the Falcon army crossed the sea and conquered the Kyoto of Salander in one fell swoop, the city was damaged by a certain amount of damage and a considerable part of the walls were destroyed by the southern legions of Vecchia under the command of Statúenko.

In particular, the position near the West Gate was less than a third of the height of the city wall, and it took several months for the Falcon Army and the Salanders to repair the huge stone from the new sea, because the stone was mined from the mineral-rich north-central and northern China, and the gray stone surface had a faint pink color of metallic manganese.

The stone-built walls look beautiful from afar, and in the sunlight they resemble a burning sunset that winds along the ridges and the coast, which makes many Salanders refer to the original Kyoto as the Pink City

The war on Salander Island had ended 5 months ago, and under the leadership of the Falcon Dynasty, a new ruling order had been established on Salander Island.

Under the arrangement of the fat man, at the Northern Council that had ended in June, the lords and nobles of the four counties jointly raised yì and automatically crowned the queen of northern Saland's 'Saland's nominal state leader's northern Saland's symbol of Saland's name.

However, according to the revised Salander Autonomy Law, the Queen of Lai only has nominal authority over the Salander region, and does not command and use the military forces outside the four counties of the Northlands, and the Queen of the North should be under the command of His Majesty the Falcon, who is the supreme lord of the Falcon Dynasty, and shall accept the Governor of the region stationed in Salander.

The main power of the Salander region is still in the hands of the southern governor Statunko.The vast and fertile central 8 counties, the population of nearly 10,000, and the main force of the southern army of 40,000 people under the command of the main force of the southern army, under the painstaking management of the Statunenko, the farmland and towns that had been abandoned by the war were rebuilt, and the strong military also made the Normans who occupied the southern part of Salander dare not act rashly.

After the occupation of Salander Kyoto, Statúenko quickly took over the sphere of influence that had belonged to Salander Kyoto in the name of the Falcon Dynasty, and quickly established the Falcon Dynasty's usual policy of military supremacy in these areas, distributing the land of the great nobles of Kyoto to the local commoners in exchange for the support of the commoners, merchants, and minor nobles for the ruler of the new region of the Falcon Dynasty

If it had been a change of country, perhaps Statunko's decision would have provoked quite a fierce revolt, after all, it was a tribal war of conquest that had turned an independent country into a vassal of another kingdom,

But in the special case of Salander, a region that had lost half of its territory by the Normans, this provision did not cause much repercussions

The Normandy army slaughtered a large number of Salanders on the island of Salander, creating a large number of no-man's lands in both the north and the south, and the weakness and incompetence of the Salander army made most of the Salanders have lost hope in this country...

Coupled with the subsequent intensification of the contradictions between the north and the south created by the Kyoto side, as well as the clumsy appearance of the aristocratic army in the civil war, most of the Salanders deeply realized that the prerequisite for enjoying peace is to be strong, and if there is no strong enough force to rely on, the Salanders will never have a chance to take revenge

In addition, many high-ranking nobles from Salander also gained a high status and sole domination power in the interests of the Falcon Dynasty, which also satisfied the sense of identity of the Salander upper-class nobles with the Falcon Dynasty

The implementation of the Falcon Land Decree was also supported by a large number of peasants, slave workers, and merchants, and a combination of factors made this regulation understandable.

On the Normans' side, the Abyssal Southern Army, which was equipped with infantry crossbows, suffered heavy casualties from the Normans who mainly used light infantry mobility as a means of attack with excellent long-range strike capabilities and strong fortifications built by Salander with excellent long-range strike capabilities and strong fortifications built by Salander.

In May alone, more than 2,000 Normandy soldiers were killed in the border clashes, while the Falcon army, which was defended by the walls, was only 26 men.

The powerful opponent that suddenly appeared in front of him made him feel a little worried,

If the northern part of Salander already has such a strong force, the southern part of the country that he is defending is only afraid of danger, and the strength of the Duchy of Normandy is not strong in the continent of Obarro.

The battle to cross the sea is a very logistical thing, although it occupies the vast southern part of Salander, but it is all Salander people, and the troops of Normandy must be transported from the distant coast, and it seems that the conquerors of this land cannot afford large-scale attrition.

In addition, some time ago, he was inexplicably defeated 2 main legions, and even the strongest general under his command, Goshawk Avi, was also lost in the north of Salander, and the Duke of Normandy has already had the idea of retreating.

He hoped that after understanding the details of the other side, he would reconsider the issue of war on the Salander side.

The southern part of Salander is not large, at most about one-third of the Duchy of Normandy, and it is really not cost-effective to put too much energy into this land that cannot be defended.

"It turns out that I am only facing the legion of a Falcon Dynasty!"

The Duke of Normandy felt a little at a loss, he felt for the first time that he might have encountered a behemoth, a powerful kingdom with a territory four times that of the Duchy of Normandy and a military strength of more than 200,000 elite soldiers, such a kingdom in the continent of Obarro, it was enough to be called a first-class kingdom, in the face of such an opponent, the Duchy of Normandy obviously lacked confidence, not to mention that it was still on the other side of the Channel, where the supply of troops was becoming increasingly difficult

The only thing that made the Duke of Normandy feel fortunate was that the attention of this powerful kingdom did not seem to be on Salander's side, but in the war for the unification of the continent across the Channel, but no one could guarantee how long this situation would last, and once the other side turned its attention, the military power of Normandy would not be able to compete at all

Since May, 'Salander has largely regained its calm', and in the face of increasing pressure from the Falcon army, the Normandy army has gradually withdrawn to a safer area. Compared with the previous arrogance, it has been greatly restrained, and even took the initiative to retreat some ports close to the coast, because the navy of the Falcon Dynasty has already terrified the Normandy navy, and those ports that lack the protection of the fleet are more likely to be heavily bombarded by the Falcon Navy's dragon's tooth battleships, including the port of Dubrun, which is known as the first port to go to sea in the south,...,

After the restoration of Statunco, the ruined port of Dubron was restored to its original size of more than sixty large warships that could berth at the same time, and Salander's superior marine technology was once again in operation, and the hundreds of shipbuilders that had been built by the Normans were once again in full swing, and the merchant ships that came and went were almost in a continuous queue on the sea, waiting in an orderly manner to enter the city and unload their cargo on the river

Some of the lighter merchant ships 'sailed out of the queue like fish' to the auxiliary port north of the city to unload their cargo, because the capacity of Dubron port was limited

The Falcon Navy has added a number of auxiliary ports along the coast, and looming to the north of the merchant ships, the Falcon Dynasty Navy's Dragon's Tooth warships are cruising and vigilantly protecting the safety of these merchant ships.

The vast majority of merchant ships to and from the port of Dubron were transporting military supplies, and only a very small number of merchant ships were passenger ships, or a mixture of passengers and cargo.

At 10 a.m. 'The sun was not yet fully out'' The passengers on the merchant ships were the first to come ashore ' some of them were merchants from the side of Vekia' 'came to Salander's side 'mainly to inspect the economic situation of Dubröl and the surrounding districts' in search of trade opportunities that could be captured.

With the restoration of the southern port of Dubron and the establishment of a trade line with the Normans, anyone with the slightest discerning could see that the port of Dubron between the two powers would soon become the center of the Falcon on the Saland

A large merchant ship for both ocean-going passengers and cargo slowly docked, and after the gangplank was lowered, a tall woman came down from the merchant ship.

She has a pair of big black and clear eyes, soft and full red lips, and a delicate little Yao nose, plus her beautiful and smooth cheeks, a blown pink face, and a super slim figure of nearly 1.8 meters, and a beautiful and round slender 'plump and round buttocks', and a mature and fragrant, full and towering room' with delicate and silky skin', and a hot stunner.

But her white dress is so graceful and elegant, as if she deliberately suppressed her own heat, and made herself pure and elegant.

"Excuse me, is it Miss Socutustel?" A carriage with the emblem of the Falcon Army stopped in front of the beautiful girl, the door opened, and a young officer with a stern expression dismounted from it, his ruddy face still a little shy...

"It's me, you're ......" Sokutus Delan's bright eyes looked at him, this time her visit to Salander was an absolute secret, and there were only two people who knew about it, one was the Falcon Majesty who gave him the task, and the other was the southern governor in charge of receiving it, Statunko, who was in charge of receiving him,

"I'm the first-level adjutant of the Governor's Palace," Hearing Sokutus Delan's definite answer, the young adjutant hurriedly straightened up and saluted her, "In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the Governor cannot come to receive her in person, so he can only entrust the subordinate to come to greet her!"

"Also, if the Governor comes in person, it will indeed cause some trouble! This will only trouble you to lead the way!" said Sokutus Delan, with a beautiful smile of understanding, as she stepped through the door opened by the young lieutenant,

"It should be an honor for the lower officials to be able to meet Miss Dailan there!"

The young lieutenant did not get into the carriage, but jumped briskly into the seat next to the coachman, as the senior lieutenant of the Southern Governor's Palace, not a novice who knew nothing,

The headquarters of the Commercial Alliance is in the sphere of influence of the Southern Army, and Staan is one of the few people who knows the weight of the name of the thirteenth deacon of the most powerful in the Commercial Alliance, Sokutus Stellan, which is why Statunko trusts him so much and entrusts him with this task, because once this news is leaked, it is tantamount to causing an earthquake in the local business community and even directly affecting the military side of the Falcon Dynasty...,

The light carriage followed the port avenue until it came to the Governor's House in Dubran, the most important port in the south of Saland, which at its peak had a population of more than 300,000 and was considered a prosperous metropolis, where the Naval Academy of the Sade people was built, and Statunenko temporarily used this naval academy as his governor's palace

The old Naval Academy has been destroyed by war, and some of the parties have become quite dilapidated, but on the whole, it can still be seen that the original Naval Academy was solemn and luxurious.

The new Minister of the Navy, Dustrunkay, has already reported to the fat man, asking that the Naval Academy be allocated to the Navy and used as the basis for the establishment of the Falcon Naval Academy, so that the Navy can have its own independent officer training system.

Of course, compared to the Paravon Academy in the center of the continent, this naval academy is inferior, but during the Norman occupation, many of the classics of the naval academy were not touched, and in the eyes of the Normans, the Salander navy was simply a bunch of waste, and naturally they would not take these valuable experiences of the Salander people to heart for hundreds of years of navigation.

But for the Falcon Navy, this is an immeasurable wealth, many commanders of the Navy are graduated from the front-line army units and the war college in the south of Vikia, although the Falcon Navy has no opponents across the coast of the continent, but it is only with the strength of the ship and the real research and exploration of naval construction, even the fat man himself is still experimental, and now with the experience of the Salander Naval Academy, it is of great help to the construction of the naval system,

In the study of the Governor's Palace, Sokutus Delan saw the Southern Governor Statunko Steunko, an important minister of the Falcon Dynasty who was in charge of guarding Salander, the emaciated figure was sitting behind a desk, and at this moment he was signing a document, when he heard the door open, the important minister of the kingdom raised his head, and saw Sokutus Delan walking in, he quickly stood up apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's rude not to go to greet me in person, but this is what His Majesty means, and I can't help it!"

"It's okay, I can understand the Governor's difficulties!"

Sokutus Delan smiled at the corner of his mouth, took out a copy of the text from the bag in his hand, and placed it on the table of Statunko, "Because this text is extremely important, Your Majesty specially explained, it can only pass through my hand, and then be opened by the Governor himself!"

"That's the plan?"

Statunenko stood up very cautiously, picked up the text with some excitement in his hand, and opened the text with a heavy snorting sound, and opened the text with a bloody eye, Statunenko's bloodshot eyes suddenly lit up,

"Your Majesty agreed!" Statun's body trembled slightly with excitement as the light swept over, and even a steady person like Statunko was a little difficult to hold on

"Yes, His Majesty the Falcon agrees with you to send a fleet to Obaro in the name of the Commercial Alliance!" "This time I invite you to come to Dubron to have the same mission, due to some special reasons, His Majesty's order has changed, this time it is not a merchant fleet, but a naval fleet, but before that, His Majesty hopes that the Governor can lead the army to advance south!"

"Advancing to the south?" said Statunko with some suspicion, "fighting against the Normans? Our troops are somewhat insufficient, according to the information obtained from Normandy merchants, the Normans still have more than 70,000 garrisons south of Salander, and there is a fleet in the open sea, and we are almost completely ignorant of the terrain in the south, in such a situation, our army is afraid that it will be difficult to achieve a quick victory, and when we defeat the Normans, we will send a fleet, but I am afraid that it will be a few years later!"

"Your Excellency the Governor is too worried, His Majesty means to advance to the south, not to attack!"

"Does this make any difference?" Statunko's face was stunned for a moment, he believed that since His Majesty Falcon had said such a thing, he naturally had a perfect arrangement, but as the governor of Salander, he really didn't get any information about this arrangement

"The Governor may have forgotten that there are not only 70,000 Normandy troops in the south of Salander, but also 2 million people in the south of Salander!" Sokutus Delan's beautiful eyes looked at the blue sky outside the window, and said meaningfully, "The entire southern part of Salander is a volcanic crater, I believe that as soon as the news of the Governor leading the army southward comes out, these 2 million conservative and bullying Salanders will rise up and attack it, with these 2 million reinforcements, does the Governor still feel uncertain?"
