In the dark night, the bonfire at the post made a sound of banging in the wind, and the cavalry clusters swept like a strong wind, almost without any effort. The officer blocked by the post, along with the 24 soldiers in the entire post, were all captured.

The guards drove these soldiers from the garrison flag regiments of the Moorhausk region to concentrate on Guangping in front of the outpost.

The fire from the outpost shone on the bodies of these soldiers curled slightly in the night wind,

The guards were lined up around, and the cold swords were like a wall of murderous swords. These soldiers in the area who had never been to the battlefield had never seen such a posture. They were a little scared. They all looked at the reflections on the swords around them, and their pale faces were full of horror.

"Find out the guy who was looking for me just now?"

The fat man rode over, his eyes swept through like lightning, and there was a faint pressure in the air. The red general cloak behind him hangs on the war horse from his shoulders. He clearly remembers that in the imperial military rules he personally approved and promulgated, the mobilization of the regular army belongs to the first-level military confidentiality range. If it is the mobilization of the general, it is even more of a special level. There are assassins in this world. Even the brave generals can't resist the hidden arrows shot from the darkness by the assassin!

It is precisely because of this consideration that in the Imperial Military Rules, only large fortresses on the pass are qualified to inspect regular troops. Local small outposts like in front of him are not qualified to require the viewing of regular military documents. Otherwise, the internal mobilization of the Imperial Army would be like being placed in front of the enemy's eyes. Therefore, the fat man was so angry when he heard that a local outpost dared to check his own documents. This behavior that blatantly violated the Imperial Military Rules made him feel a little ominous in his heart.

After all, Moorhausk was once the old nest of the mortal enemy Stian family. Because of the fierce royal war, more than 200,000 Moorhausks died at the hands of the southern Samor army. Along the way, in addition to the beautiful lakes, traces of villages burned in the war can still be seen. In the deep weeds, fragments of weapons that were broken into pieces can be vaguely seen.

Years of peace can conceal the destruction of the Moorhausk War, but the spiritual trauma of the Moorhausk people is like a lake scattered in front of the earth, and it is obviously not as calm as it seems outside.

Hearing the order of His Majesty Falcon, several vicious guards walked over and found the officer who was dodging among the prisoners. After all, the officers of the empire were both officers, and the guards were quite polite. Otherwise, they would have rushed forward long ago. Regardless of all, they would have whipped the guy who dared to check His Majesty's ID first. Beat him a dead dog and then dragged him out!

"You can't do this!"

The outpost officer was forced out by the guards, and the prisoners around him quickly spread out a road. Seeing that he could not break free, the officer simply shouted, "You bold guys! I am the officer of the Moorhausk Guarding Flag Regiment. You can't do this, I am the officer of the Empire!"

"Shut him up!" The loud voice of the outpost officer made the fat man's mouth suddenly grin. Why didn't he realize it just now? He actually had such specialties! But on such a night, it felt more like a howl. A guard took out a rag that wiped the stirrup and stuffed the officer's mouth, and could only make a whimpering sound

"According to the Imperial Military Rules, what is the punishment for the inspection of the overreach of authority?" The fat man asked the captain of the guard behind him,

"The lightest punishment is to whip fifty times! If it is confirmed that the other party is a spy, it is to behead it on the spot!" The guard squadron leader hesitated for a moment and replied, his cold answer, which scared the officer almost collapsed on the ground on the spot

"Spy? Such a stupid spy is probably difficult to get into the status of an officer! But I'm afraid it's not a whim... "The fat man's mouth showed a hint of coldness, and he impatiently ordered the guards, "Drag down, whip fifty times first! Then he asked him to call the person in charge behind him!"

"The person in charge?"

The squadron leader next to him was stunned for a moment. He thought this was just a coincidence misunderstanding, but if it was true as His Majesty the Falcon said, the whole thing was a premeditated military operation, then it would be a bit of a big deal.

"Who would be so bored that he would not rest in the middle of the night, and he would guard here specifically and arrange the gun array in a very good manner. It was definitely a premeditated military operation! "When thinking of this, the guard captain's face became cold. If it was really a military operation against His Majesty the Falcon, it would be rebellious!

"Don't these idiots know that they are looking for death!"

The captain of the guards glared at the officer angrily. He was the guide of the northward advance, and naturally also from Wikia. To be precise, he was a Moorhausk, so he specifically suggested that His Majesty the Falcon take shortcuts from Moorhausk, which can save two days compared to the conventional route. Not all Moorhausks have opinions about the empire. For most civilians who have survived the war, it does not matter who is the king or the emperor.

They are more concerned about being able to live in peace and stability, without worrying about their relatives dying in the war, without being driven away, and the cruelty of the war, people who have not experienced it personally are unimaginable. Every war is a destruction of the region and a decline in population. This is not just cold data, but a shocking blood. In the five-year unified war, the Falcon army dominated by the Wikians swept across the continent, but countless soldiers were buried in strange lands.

North of Wikia, Moorhausk

The caravan that was staying by the lake during the day was slowly entering the thick gate of Moorhausk, full of historical sense. The huge gray-white stones were covered with the spots of erosion of the years. On the inside of the wall was a main fort located on the hills in the middle line of the city.

The night is desolate. In the dark night, the huge round vault of the castle is like a giant standing high above the vast land below.

This is the famous Moorhausk, the first hero city in the north.

The city of Moorhausk was originally established 130 years ago. At that time, it was just a wetland full of lakes. It was occupied by exiles, criminals and smugglers. It was a battlefield where Wikia and the Kujits repeatedly tug-of-war. In order to exchange goods and materials obtained by improper means for gold coins, the exiled nobles came forward and held multi-party consultations on the three-cha flat ground where various forces communicated, and decided to establish a neutral trade zone in a place called Moorhausk.

After hundreds of years of development, Moorhausk developed from a trade market to a trade city, and expanded outward three times in history. With the initial inner wall, a total of four walls were built, 20 years ago, 45 years ago, 74 years and 113 years ago. Three of them were demolished by the Falcon Army, which was occupied by the occupied Falcon Army at that time, leaving only a symbolic inner wall. Without the constraints of the wall, the city's area expanded rapidly.

At present, the entire city has exceeded ten square kilometers, with a population of 120,000. In the northern part of Wikia, it is also considered a large city. The city has been re-planned and divided into inner city areas, mainly inhabited by the nobles of Moorhausk, the outer city area is civilians and commercial areas, and the surrounding city area is a trade station, where most caravans gather. Outside the city is a military camp, and one thousand soldiers stationed in the local Moorhausk Banner regiment are mainly responsible for local public security.

As the carriage stopped in front of a mansion in the inner city, the girl in a white sand dress got off the carriage. She glanced complicatedly over the city wall not far away, frowned slightly, and the last resistance of the Stian family was here. The Duke of Stian, a northern hero, fought hard on the city wall with his son.

The war determined the ownership of the royal power, so it was destined to be a result of immortality. There was no compromise or concession, and there was only a death battle to the end. The northern hero Stian family, who once had 100,000 troops, was eventually broken through in many places and could not be defended. The duke himself retreated into the inner city with a hundred guards. He ignited the mansion in the inner city, burned the Stian family's century-old glory in Moorhausk and the countless treasures he received from all over the country.

That night, the fire was swept over Moorhausk, illuminating the girl's cold face. Countless black-armored soldiers passed through the city gate like a tide. The battle flag of the Stian family was cut off from a high place, like leaves falling in the torrent of history. The girl always believed that the city walls were old and mottled, but they were part of the indelible glory of Moorhausk. Moorhausk, the first heroic city in the north, would one day climb to the top of the earth again.

"Did you tell my father that news?"

The girl looked at the carriage and walked towards the butler waiting at the door. She was a middle-aged man with a little white hair, wearing a black swallowtail and standing respectfully at the door. The caravan was parked by her in the ring of the city. After a few days of rest, she would continue to enter Achemore north. Everyone knew that the Wikia Falcon would marry the grassland princess Frantonya in Achemore. It was a prosperous era. All forces in the empire would send people to participate. Even in the distant northwest of Obalo, some countries sent people to watch the ceremony.

For most people, it was a spectacular wedding, but for merchants, it was a war that had sounded the horn! And their weapons and troops were all kinds of goods loaded on carriages.

"The lady delivered it so timely. At noon tomorrow, the mayoral election will be held in the municipal hall. If we can make things worse tonight, the master will definitely win tomorrow!" The housekeeper replied respectfully, "The master said that the lady was doing it beautifully this time, and the people and stolen goods were all obtained. In fact, it doesn't matter whether we can punish these soldiers. What is important is to show the attitude of our Bourbon family to the entire Moorhausk. Even when facing the military, our Bourbon family will also protect everyone's safety! If we add the generous benefits obtained from going to Achemore, the master must be the mayor of Moorhausk!"

In the military camp outside the city of Moorhausk, Heng Ting, the commander of the local flag of Moorhausk, was looking at a letter of accusation from the Bourbon family in the city with a serious expression. Opposite him was a middle-aged businessman with a serious expression. He was the Bourbon Rad in the city. The so-called target of the accusation was a team of imperial cavalry marching towards Moorhausk. These cavalry were obviously outsiders and actually entered the private property of the Bourbon family beside the lake.

"What do you mean?" Hengting unexpectedly looked at Bourbon Rard opposite and asked in confusion, "This kind of thing is nothing. It has happened before. As long as it was not caught on the spot, no one could say anything. But this time it was different. The team of imperial cavalry might have a bad luck. They actually met your caravan and were painted by your painter! But even so, are you really ready to fight the military? Do you know what this means? If you just hold an imperial officer accountable for the lake water, then it won't take long to get the order to remove me from the Imperial Military Affairs Department? Is you helping me or harming me?"

"Don't misunderstand, tomorrow is the day of the mayor's election. If others know that I cannot even protect my private property will be spread, the result that has been decided will be difficult to say." The middle-aged businessman seemed to see his confusion. He said with a serious look on his face.

"So this matter must be dealt with immediately. Actually, I also know the difficulties of the adults. The other party is a regular army, but as a flag leader of the empire, you can at least ask about it. It is best to stop them for two days so that the entire Moorhausk will know. I, Bourbon Rad, can be the mayor who has the courage to serve as the guardianship! It's just a performance, not to be a Dongzhen."

"It's a headache to stop the regular army! You have to know that those who can become regular army are the elites of the imperial army. And according to your description, the other party's dress is very similar to the most elite Central Army cavalry in the empire. That is the army that His Majesty the Emperor trusts the most!"

Hearing Bourbon Rad's request, Hengting frowned with a headache. What he was considering was the source of this group of imperial cavalry. The Empire had just transferred tens of thousands of elite troops from the Obarro area to rest. It is hard to say that these cavalry would not be the troops to be transferred back to rest. If they belong to the imperial elite military system, then the flag commander of the local army would be too light in terms of weight. The rank of the regular army was higher than that of the local army, and the flag commander of the local army was only the position of the squadron leader in the regular rules.

The most important thing is that Bourbon Rard, who has offended people in this matter, has gained benefits!

"In fact, it's not difficult. Since someone has filed a lawsuit, the adults will ask the other party to stay for two days according to the procedures, so it should be possible!"

Bourbon Rad blinked. He looked at Hengting, who was still hesitating, and said, "The Empire has issued a city mayor decree. All cities with a population of more than 100,000 can run for mayor. Moreover, the mayor has great power and can almost manage the entire city. I heard that the Imperial Military Affairs Department also issued a rest order for local troops this time, and it seems that some unqualified and bloated local troops will be transferred overseas to fight. For adults, this is also an excellent opportunity to perform. If there is a joint retention by the chamber of commerce in the city to be held for evaluation, adults should be able to avoid being transferred overseas!"

"Is that simple?"

Heng Ting narrowed his eyes slightly. His fingers tapped the table, obviously moved. The Empire seemed to have been victorious in overseas battlefields, and its interests were so tempting. However, it was aimed at regular troops with strong combat capabilities. For local troops with nearly peasant and soldiers' combat power, it was simply a disaster. The Imperial Military Affairs Department's move was obviously to clear out the local garrisons that were recruited to consolidate their rule to reduce the Imperial military expenditure.

Bourbon Rad's proposal is quite attractive, and everyone takes the needs. The Empire focuses on commerce. One of the main responsibilities of local garrisons is to protect the smooth flow of local business roads. This will be evaluated every year. As Bourbon Rad said, if the Moorhausk Chamber of Commerce is willing to give itself an excellent assessment, the Imperial Military Affairs Department will not consider itself as "relocation".

"It's really a bargaining weight that can't be chosen!" Heng Ting took a deep breath in depression. The Empire is not so easy to fool in this regard. The Empire Supervision Department has set up a little bit in every area. For the assessment of the local garrison, if the assessment of the Supervision Department and the Chamber of Commerce is different, it will be a very troublesome big mistake.

"Bang bang" Just as Heng Ting was thinking, there was a rapid sound of horse boots outside the door, followed by a rapid knock on the door, and the adjutant's voice came. "Sir, can I come in?"

"What's wrong? I'm so hurrying, come in!" Heng Ting shouted unhappily. He had just issued an order not to be disturbed, but the adjutant still rudely chose to interrupt the conversation. If he didn't regard the order as a wind in his ear, it would mean that things might be really urgent.

Sure enough, the adjutant pushed open the door and came in. When he looked at him, he said in panic, "Something happened, and a bonfire for combat transmission was lit in the direction of the third post ten miles outside the city! Now that it has reached this place, what should we do?"

"What! Are the officers at the outpost going crazy? They actually lit the message bonfire! "Hengting jumped out of his seat like a rabbit with his tail stepped on. The message bonfire was placed at the top of the sentry tower. Once attacked, it would be ignited. On the combat border, there is one such message bonfire every five miles, and 20 is a hundred miles. As long as one is ignited, in just one hour, the information about the enemy's troops will be transmitted to hundreds of miles away. However, this is not a combat area, and the message bonfire is more like a decoration.

But tonight, the bonfire lit

"The person who came, sent an order to gather!" Hengting didn't care about cursing, and he roared loudly at the adjutant, "What are you doing? According to the rules of the army, the bonfire is lit, which is a signal of combat. Immediately summon all the soldiers, and gather within half an hour, and go to the place where the bonfire is lit immediately!"
Chapter completed!
