Episode 14: The Great Conspiracy, Section 5, The Terrible Trap 3-4
"Okay, you have really grown up, and you are almost as tall as me now." At this time, Ammu couldn't help but recall the scene when he first met Corey. At that time, Ammu collapsed in the slave market with an injury.
But at that time, when he looked up and saw Corey, he had a very strange feeling. Looking back now, Corey was really not an ordinary lucky person.
Just when Corey and Ammu set off separately, they were in the imperial capital of Curacao.
Emperor Curasoni summoned the ministers to the palace, and specifically allowed all military officers above the general level to come to the palace to discuss matters.
"Your Majesty, I am very puzzled by Yasi's attack this time." Faced with a large amount of intelligence, the first marshal of the Kingdom of Curasoni was the first to speak.
"What's the matter?" The emperor raised his hand to signal the first marshal to continue.
The First Marshal took out one of the pieces of intelligence: "Your Majesty, according to the existing intelligence, there are only six legions mobilized by Yasi and three reserve legions, for a total of nine legions. And even if there is a secret operation, it is afraid that there are only ten.
A legion, and facing two great empires, this small force may soon face an army five times larger."
"Then you think Yasi will lose." Emperor Curasoni asked softly.
"No, I just feel strange. Normally, Yasi can at least double the number of troops now. I don't understand what Yasi is planning to do. Maybe this superficial troop dispatch is to keep secrets for other legions.
Actions are disguised." First Marshal Kurasoni's analysis was recognized by many ministers, who all came out to echo his remarks.
Emperor Curasoni knew exactly where Yasi's troops were going.
"When I come to you, I must first express my attitude. Since we have formed an alliance with Yasi, we should take action at this time. In the past ten years, Nora Kamu has been in constant conflict with our country on the border, and our country has also paid compensation several times in exchange for
Peace, but now it seems that this peace will not last long."
The ministers were shocked. The emperor's attitude suddenly changed so much. Since the current emperor came to the throne, he has been advocating literature, art, and most opposed to war. Why is this happening today?
However, after being shocked, the first marshal of the kingdom was the first to come to his senses. If Kurasoni is divided into peaceful conservatives and militant factions, then this first marshal can be regarded as the toughest among the militant factions. The family is against Kurasoni.
The absolute loyalty to the Lasoni royal family made the desire to fight in his heart suppressed for decades.
Emperor Curasoni's sudden change in attitude made him feel as if he was in a dream. He waved his arms and slapped himself dozens of times on the face. The blood on the corners of his mouth and the tears flowing from his eyes were all reflected in the scene.
Officers remained at the scene.
When he was young, the First Marshal was the swordsman of the current emperor, and the emperor knew him well.
Emperor Curasoni slowly walked down from the throne, took off his sword and placed it in the hands of the first marshal: "We are not old yet, haven't you always said in front of me that you want to show off with Nora Ka Thu?
?Now, you lead my Kurasoni army and go to war."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, my lord, my lord." The excitement and excitement made the first marshal speechless, and he didn't even know what he should say at this time.
"Before setting off, I want to hear your plan and what are the chances of winning this battle." Emperor Curasoni put his hands on the shoulders of the first marshal.
The First Marshal was shocked: "Come here, bring all the materials I collected and ask your Majesty to take a look."
After a while, more than a dozen soldiers carried a large number of scrolls and documents to the main hall. The first marshal said at this time: "Your Majesty, in the past hundreds of years, Yasi has the smallest land, the smallest population, and the weakest
Our national strength has withstood the continuous attacks of the two major powers, and we have not lost an inch of our territory.”
Seeing the first marshal begin to speak, Curasoni waved his hand to signal all the ministers to return to their seats, and he also returned to the throne.
"Although Yasi has many famous generals, the key point is the strong folk customs of Yasi. Every soldier in Yasi goes to the battlefield with the determination to die, and every officer writes a suicide note to his family before going out. Because the country was weak back then, so
The equipment is also very poor, but even so, he often fights against enemies that are three times more than Tukani and defends the country without losing any ground." The First Marshal spoke highly of Yasi's soldiers' combat capabilities.
"Your Majesty, my second son Karana entered Yasi as a refugee, signed up for military conscription, and joined the Yasi army. I would like to ask your majesty to allow him to enter the palace."
"Accurate!" Emperor Curasoni needs to clearly analyze the chances of winning this battle, and will not let go of every piece of information.
Karana seemed to have been waiting outside the palace for a long time. Hearing the call, he ran to the main hall. After getting the emperor's permission, he began to talk about an experience of his Yasi.
That was Corey's first expedition back. He followed a large number of immigrants from the Speihammer Empire and entered Yasi. Because he lied that he had no relatives, knew a few words, and had learned simple swordsmanship, he was placed in a
In the newly built village, he became the village security officer and the village's basic swordsmanship instructor. He was also assigned a house, some food, coins, and daily necessities.
Such a life did not last long. During the great flood, many young people rushed to sign up to be soldiers. Of course, Carana would not give up such an opportunity.
"Your name, age." The officer at the recruitment office asked Karamo.
Carana truthfully told his name and the village where he lived, and wrote down the recipient of the pension as the village where he lived once he died in the war. At that time, Karamo did not believe that he would die in the war at all.
Swordsmanship is taught by famous teachers. If there is really danger, protect yourself enough.
Physical strength, endurance, swordsmanship, specialties. Karana simply couldn't believe that he was just an ordinary soldier, but Yasi's officials numbered each one. In addition to the medical officer's physical examination of each person, a complicated assessment process
It actually took everyone five days from start to finish.
Although Carana tried his best to hide his strength, he still achieved very good results.
While Karana was waiting for assignment in the new military camp, he met Corey for the first time, and he met Corey very close to him.
"The marshal is inspecting, everyone lines up." The officer gave the order, and all the newly recruited soldiers lined up at the door of their barracks. From a distance, Karana saw a young man wearing golden armor, surrounded by many people.
The generals with the Purple Honor Belt followed.
"Ah, the assessment results of this battalion are really good." Carana heard Corey talking to his battalion commander, and the battalion commander replied excitedly: "To return to the marshal, this battalion is the best batch of
The best people will be assessed and waiting for allocation."
As soon as the battalion commander finished speaking, Carana saw an old general with a beard yelling in a rough voice: "Marshal, my legion suffered heavy casualties last time. The people in this battalion are going to
Add it to me. That boy Laqi'ao is yours, so you can't be partial."
"Ah, this is approved by the military department, and Brother Ammu is in charge." In Carana's heart, Corey's words had the demeanor of a marshal, but he was simply a slippery man. But he also saw that the rugged older general
He left the camp immediately, perhaps because he was angry.
Soon it was lunch time. When Karana and his comrades received their lunch, they also noticed that Corey and the generals also received their lunch at the same place as themselves, and they also sat around under the tree and ate the soldiers' food.
They have the same food.
"Why are you so dazed? There are many unwritten rules in the Yasi Army. One of them is that regardless of rank, you are equal to the soldiers when eating." A captain said with a smile at Karana.
Karana turned over the bowl with a spoon. He also served in the Kurasoni army. When he saw this lunch, he felt that it was much better than Kurasoni. After taking a bite, he couldn't help but praise the taste.
And at this time, the rough general came back again, holding a document in his hand: "Marshal, Marshal Muharin has specially approved that this battalion belongs to our Kamo Army. Hahaha."
"Ah, do you want one? Today's lunch was first-class." Corey didn't answer such a question directly at all. He raised the bowl in his hand high. Kamo took a look and went to the food camp to get himself a big one.
Wan also sat next to Corey.
It took a long time for Karana to realize the situation at that time. He had misunderstood Corey. Because Corey did not understand the daily management of the army at all, and Amu was the marshal of the military, and he did not understand the daily affairs of the agency.
Express even a small opinion.
Carana was also incorporated into the Kamo Legion and transferred to the north to garrison.
Talking about the feeling of being in Yasi Army, Carana feels like home here, there is no strange feeling at all, and everyone around him is like brothers, neighbors and friends.
When the Allied Forces of the Five Nations invaded Yasi, the Kamo Legion fought to the death. Kachina thought about leaving quietly, but when he saw the soldiers around him who had lived for more than a year and were like brothers, he couldn't bear it.
"Maybe we will die." In the city, looking at the millions of five-nation coalition troops in the darkness, Carana said involuntarily, while the soldier standing beside him just smiled at him: "Are you afraid?
Already."
"Aren't you afraid?" Karachi asked in surprise.
"Afraid, scared to death." After the soldier finished speaking, several other soldiers nodded.
Karana didn't understand. Was it because of the order? Or was he afraid that his family would be implicated if he ran away? Because he had seen too many soldiers running away in a battle to the death. He had seen it in Curasoni, and also in the Speihammer Empire.
I've seen it before, it's not surprising.
"Then just now the Legion Commander wants to..." Carana wanted to say, didn't Commander Camo just say to let the only son and those who are afraid to withdraw without any punishment?
"Hahaha." The surrounding soldiers laughed: "Who is not afraid of death? But even if they are afraid of death, today I want the five-nation coalition to see how powerful I am. I'm afraid that it won't be enough in a while, and at least two of them will be killed.
, otherwise it’s really unreasonable.”
Afraid, afraid of death, but still have to face a battle to the death, afraid of death, but not willing to take a step back.
Karana's respect for the soldiers of Yasi rose to a whole new level, and the battle began. Arrows like rain flew towards the city, followed by countless ladders hanging on the city, and the infantry of the Five Nations Allied Forces began to charge.
"Should I use sword skills or continue to hide my strength?" Facing countless enemies at this time, Carana hesitated, but the moment he hesitated and distracted, the large amount of blood on his feet made him slip. At the moment he lost his balance,
He saw three arrows and a knife coming towards him.
At that moment, Carana smiled in his heart, and a strange feeling arose from the bottom of his heart. He thought that dying like this, in such a place, was not only not a pity, but actually a kind of pride, especially to be able to fight like these outstanding comrades.
Die here.
"Be careful." With a loud shout, the knife that rushed towards Carana was blocked, and three arrows hit a figure. Blood splashed on Carana's face. Carana was shocked and hugged the figure who had blocked the arrow for him.
He is his squadron leader.
The squadron leader's three arrows all hit the vital point, and he said feebly: "Brother Karana, I know you are very good at swordsmanship. I have seen you practice swordsmanship secretly in the early morning. No matter who you are, why did you join the Yasi Army? Brother,
If you can fight with us here, you are a good brother." A mouthful of blood spurted from the squadron's mouth, and the squadron leader had a smile on his face: "Brother, you said you don't have a wife yet, you must live on, live on...
"
Carana thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect that someone would use his life to save him, and it was an officer saving an ordinary soldier, a spy who was suspicious and had never really faced them. At this time, Carana
He no longer cared about whether his identity would be discovered, and the long sword kept slashing or stabbing with powerful fighting spirit.
There were fewer and fewer comrades around him, and the officers fell one by one. Carana watched with his own eyes the Kamo Legion holding the battle flag and fighting to the death. He also felt the power of the Dragon Knight at close range and the gentle side of Corey.
Among the piles of dead bodies, the surviving warriors of the Kamo Legion left quietly.
Carana felt that he could no longer face such comrades, and was even more afraid that he would forever forget his identity as a spy and become a true member of the Laiyasi Army.
Speaking of this, not only Karana, but also everyone in the palace, from the emperor to the low-level attendants, were moved by it.
"Your Majesty, I, I am convinced that the Yasi army will win this battle. Even if Your Majesty has to punish me, I will say it." Carana took out the one he had been keeping in his arms, the one he had issued when he was in Yasi.
Own military emblem: "The Yasi Army is the most powerful army in the mainland."
"What you said is correct, I understand." Emperor Curasoni said slowly: "The Yasi Army is not only the most powerful, but also the most respectable army in the mainland." At this point, Emperor Curasoni suddenly turned his back.
Turning around, he was afraid that he would reveal Yasi's battle with the demons.
After taking a few deep breaths, Emperor Curasoni turned around: "Now, what is Huck Gerald doing?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Commander Huck is in the rear of Yasi's army. Yasi did not let him participate in this battle. He just helped to eliminate some thieves."
"Send a message to him and ask him to do his best to help the Yasi Army fight, no matter whether the enemy is the Tukani Empire or the Nora Kahun Empire."
Just as the military officials were about to reply, an intelligence officer suddenly barged in
"Your Majesty, a man outside the palace who claims to be the president of the Paya Chamber of Commerce is asking for a meeting with Prince Askore's token, saying that there is something urgent."
"Tell him to come in." After Emperor Curasoni finished speaking, he straightened his clothes and sat on the throne. All the ministers also stood back in their seats.
Paya quickly walked into the palace, saluted and presented Corey's token with both hands. Emperor Curasoni looked at it and nodded: "This is the badge of Prince Corey. What do you want?"
"Your Majesty, I am a businessman. I have collected the goods of Asian silk that have been smuggled in various countries in the mainland recently and brought them to Your Majesty. My master thinks that Your Majesty will definitely need these things." As he said this, Paya took out another one from his arms.
List, held high above your head.
"Well, there are so many." After Emperor Curasoni looked at it, he asked the attendant to hand it to the first marshal of the kingdom.
Paya gave another gift: "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with the equipment of the two legions originally given to your country. This is a personal gift from my master. Although these things vary in quality, the worst ones are also high.
Compared to the original equipment of our Yasi Army."
The first marshal has already read the list. All the equipment can be given to three legions. If it is disassembled and selected key equipment, the combat effectiveness of ten legions can be improved. Thinking of this, he went out and knelt down to face the emperor. The emperor waved his hand and motioned for him to stand up and speak.
.
"Our Kurasoni Army is ready to send troops to deal with Nora Kahu. This time we plan to send out at least fifteen legions. Can your Chamber of Commerce provide more support? Of course, our army will also spend money to purchase them."
"Distinguished Lord Marshal, now Nora Kamu has sealed the border and is on the battlefield. This is the maximum amount we can collect, but if we can open a passage between Nora Kamu and I, Yasi, the quantity will not be enough.
Question." Paya answered politely.
The first marshal saw Emperor Curasoni nodding his head and couldn't help but straighten his body: "By order of the emperor, all field legions in the kingdom have entered the first level of combat readiness. Commanders of the 1st to 10th legions should come to the military headquarters as soon as possible."
