Chapter VII(1/2)

In the fields, the crops that were planted after the New Year are growing vigorously. If all goes well, there will be a rare and abundant harvest in the first season of this year. The farmers working in the fields are filled with joy as they look at the fruits of their hard work.

Their expectant eyes were looking forward to some good weather in the future, so that everything in the fields could be put into the warehouse without missing a thing.

Farmers throughout the Sibia Empire thought this way.

In the era of continuous wars, it was not easy to have a good harvest. No matter which regime it was, they were trying their best to protect this harvest season, especially in places where rebels were entrenched. The bandits that used to roam around were gone.

, and even small groups of troops went directly to the countryside to supervise the grain harvest.

Food, no matter what time of year, is the first item on the list.

At this time, an announcement appeared silently in the towns and cities of the Sibia Empire, bringing new worries to all the people of the empire.

This announcement was issued by the Keda family in the Dark Province. The announcement stated that troops would be launched to wipe out the rebels in the near future, and after they invaded the Holy Capital, the seventeenth emperor of the empire, Cohen Keda, would hold a formal enthronement ceremony.

In order to show His Majesty the Emperor's compassion for the people, the attack date is specifically set after the harvest. People everywhere should prepare early, protect their property, and save enough food for their families...

Although the rebels tore up all these announcements at the first time, the announcements appeared again the next day, and there were more of them. The contents of the announcements were also more widely circulated.

The people actually don't care who becomes the emperor or who is the orthodox. They just want to have a good harvest and be able to support their families after paying the land rent and national taxes. But the announcement implicitly gave them a piece of information.

Cohen Keda is such an emperor who considers the people. Before sending troops, he will also care about whether everyone has enough food.

The people are quite familiar with Cohen Keda. In the early years, this name spread throughout the towns and villages of the Sibia Empire, and the story after this name made the people even more happy.

They are familiar with this person just like they are familiar with their own family members, because this person has done so many funny things, which makes them feel a sense of intimacy.

Cohen Keda, in his early years, once represented - noisy, naughty, and simple, just like the naughty boy in the neighbor's house.

Later, after Cohen Keda was awarded the title of nobility, the name came to represent youth, fearlessness, bravery, and glory.

Before the War between Gods and Demons, this name became even more dazzling. It was because of him that the Sbia Empire became the only country with two Divine Blessing Knights. Although they were children of nobles, people other than the royal family could become Divine Blessing Knights.

, which in itself is an amazing thing.

If those were due to the accumulation of family prestige, then it was all due to his own efforts that Cohen Keda turned the tide in the war between gods and demons and became one of the rare successful military commanders.

During the war between gods and demons, the divine coalition forces were retreating steadily. Only the legions led by Cohen Keda were firmly in the defense zone. Although the coalition forces blocked the news, other empires bordering the dividing line between gods and demons were all captured to varying degrees.

The invasion of demonic soldiers is an indisputable fact. Only the Sibiya Empire and the ninth legion under his leadership did not let a single demonic soldier cross the defense line!

What is a famous general? This is a famous general!

Since Martin Luther disappeared, this was the first famous general to appear in the Sbia Empire. He was the only famous general that the people felt they could fully trust, and he also made the people feel extremely proud.

Of course, these are all spread among the people.

After the war between gods and demons, the original left prime minister Luman declared to the whole country that Cohen Keda was a traitor, he was the one who led the demon army into the empire, and he was the cause of the civil strife in the empire.

Although the people are not smart, they still have basic judgment. Who would believe that the always loyal Keda family would be rebellious? Besides, which "demon army" could enter the country without harassing the people? But at that time, Lu

Man's power was at its peak, and everyone had no choice. Under Luman's strong oppression, the people thought that the Keda family could not survive. Luman's men even spread the news that Cohen Keda was dead long ago.

But later, Luman, who had an absolute advantage in power, failed to attack the Dark Province twice, and this rumor was self-defeating.

Now, the Al Qaeda family has announced that they will counterattack in the near future. Although the people are still calm on the surface, they are already alive in their hearts. They hate Luman. Everyone knows that he is the one who promised other countries' armies to rape and plunder in the Holy City.

He was the culprit of the three-day chaos in the Holy City during the rebellion. What he did was extremely immoral, and no one knows whether he will cause another three-day chaos in other places...

With such an emperor, everyone would have a hard time.

Although Luman also posted a lot of announcements on the streets, no one took them seriously. After he ascended the throne, the new royal flag and the new royal emblem were not pleasing to the public no matter how they looked at it - Luman had lost the support of the people.

Although many government decrees were repeatedly proposed to benefit the people, no one believed him. Even many lower-level officials, nobles and scholars were resentful of this man.

The people's hearts are surging, waiting for an opportunity to explode.

The announcement also reached the hands of the nobles, triggering a new round of uneasiness among the noble class.

The aristocrats' impression of Cohen Keda is far more complicated and profound than that of the general public. The public may find Cohen's behavior kind, but to the nobles, they will think it is random...

All in all, Cohen Keda acted arbitrarily and had too much rebellious character, and the nobles did not like him very much.

But Luman is different. Although he does not have a hereditary title, he does not dare to take the aristocracy seriously and will serve him carefully. Although he despises what Luman does, there are still many nobles who prefer it from the bottom of their hearts.

This "obedient" emperor.

However, there are also a few noble families who have interacted with the Keda family and have not yet been destroyed by Luman. They trust the character of Visu Keda. Therefore, the aristocratic class of the Sibia Empire completed the final division of camps in a short period of time.

Most people are leaning towards Luman, and a small number of people are already planning to re-establish contact with the Dark Province.

The speed of differentiation this time was quite fast. Everyone was clear-eyed and knew that this was the last chance to place bets.

There are also some nobles who, although they avoid trouble abroad, are always paying attention to the situation at home.

Although the number of these nobles is not large, their family property and land are second to none among all the nobles. It will not only cost a lot of money to bring trouble to foreign countries, but without good power and connections, other empires will not accommodate them. Their abacus is good.

, because in this way, you can not choose any party to seek refuge, let alone worry about being dragged down by any party.

Now, when the final battle is imminent, they are happier. Because no matter which side wins, they only need to get in the luxury carriage and go back to enjoy it. For them, this is not surprising. It has been done since ancient times.

That's right, it's normal, and it's also a very safe way to handle things.

As for what they have to pay for the empire... we can talk about that later! Anyway, they will support the emperor after they return, no matter who the emperor is.

As for the other empires in the Divine Alliance, they have lost their enthusiasm for caring about the current situation in Sbia. According to the current situation, no matter who wins or loses, they will not be able to gain anything from it, no matter who laughs.

In the end, it was all caused by the brilliance of the Gods and had nothing to do with them. All the empires wanted was that if the Keda family won, they would not have to reveal the bad debts of their own armies during the rebellion.

The priests of the temple have long been honest and no longer come out to preach who is orthodox. Even the large and small temples in the Sbia Empire have stopped inciting their behavior, and the priests have shrunk one by one. When someone comes to ask for guidance.

, they will use empty words to ask everyone to submit to justice, but they cannot clearly explain which talent represents justice. If someone comes to ask again and again, they will ask believers to judge based on their sincerity...

With a sincere expression and sincere words, what he said sounded like the truth.

In this harvest season, the entire Divine Alliance is quiet. Everyone is waiting for the final result. Just like a gambling game, the last trump card is about to be revealed!

Sbia Empire, Dark Province, Secret Training Ground.

This is a training ground close to the front line. It is responsible for training all new soldiers of the Third Army. The whole place is crowded and the atmosphere is quite warm. The soldiers training here include not only new recruits who have just joined, but also those who have returned from the front line.

Some experienced veterans. New recruits need to learn actual combat experience faster. The veterans are learning primary command skills at the squad leader level.

Because it is the exclusive training ground of the Third Army, the training incorporates a very strong Third Army style. The training instructors especially like to test the recruits' endurance and toughness. It seems that they want to train countless Moyas.

A few days ago, Cohen issued new tactical training standards to the military headquarters. According to the new requirements, this training ground focused its training on street fighting, encirclement and suppression, search, and field defense. Batteries of field defense equipment were also trained.

It is spread out on the field so that the new recruits can become familiar with it as soon as possible.

Because we are fighting on our own land, we must minimize losses and avoid all avoidable damage. In order to create a fierce offensive momentum to deter the rebels, and in order to end the war as soon as possible, the three legions of the Al Qaeda family not only

Everyone must go into battle, even the troops from the staff department must go into battle.

The First Army and the Second Army are responsible for the main attack. The city is handed over to the First Army, and the second Army is responsible for field operations.

The Third Army will assume the responsibility of frontline defense in this attack. Once all towns are captured, they will be handed over to them within a few hours. They will be responsible for clearing out the remaining enemy forces and defending against possible counterattacks by the rebels.

, to maintain wartime security until local officials with rations arrive.

After walking around the training ground and asking some questions, Cohen hurriedly led people to the Second Army's exclusive training ground.

The Second Corps training ground is completely different.

A typical rebel field camp stands in the training ground. The recruits, led by veterans, launch attacks again and again, and the officers' shouts and curses are endless. In each attack, some recruits are injured, not broken.

The injured person would not only be scolded, but would also be dragged to a corner for public display. Because there were so many injured people, the assigned witch doctor was extremely busy.

The injured recruits have their wounds bandaged and can rest next to them for one or two attack waves. During this period, they can listen to experienced veterans analyze the causes of injuries and how to avoid them. After that, they can pat their butts and start again.

"If you want to stay in the Second Army, you must remember it clearly." An officer shouted loudly: "You can't go to the front line if you are slightly injured - you have to pick up a knife to chop if you are seriously injured!"

"Shut up!" Cohen pointed at the officer's nose: "The injured ones don't even leave the front line. Do you want all my soldiers to die? How can you still have the strength to chop the seriously injured ones? I'll chop you piece of shit and run around the field.

Ten laps!”

"Yes, sir!" The officer said nothing, dismounted and started running. It seemed that this man was familiar with Cohen, otherwise he wouldn't have moved so fast.

Cohen turned around and explained a few words, but did not interrupt the ongoing training - high-intensity combat readiness training is necessary to significantly reduce casualties during wartime, but it is not good to make such a blatant cry!

People will say that the Keda family abuses new recruits...

In contrast, at the training ground of the First Army Corps, the attitude of the officers was much calmer.

The Engineer Corps of the Dark Army is where geniuses gather. In a short period of time, they built half of the city on the training ground of the First Army! Moats, walls, towers, streets, fortresses, and residential buildings are all available.

What? What.

The new recruits first learned how to run long distances, surround the city, clear the periphery, and camp under the city. Then the veterans taught them step by step how to attack the city wall, avoid flying rocks and arrows, climb ladders, climb ropes, open city gates, and engage in battles outside the city.

Battles on the city walls, offensive and defensive battles in the lanes, long spears and short knives, battles with bows and crossbows...

The officers in charge around him introduced them one by one. Even Cohen himself felt dizzy and wondered how the new recruits could hold on.

"How many training fields are there down there?" Cohen asked Rock.

"There are several more." Rock was very familiar: "Training grounds for various races, as well as training grounds for special arms."

"I'm not going." Cohen shook his head: "Let's go directly to the staff training ground. Carlos and the others should already be waiting for me."

"Okay." Rock shouted behind him: "Get ready to go!"

The Guards followed Cohen around the training ground for many days, and they were all so excited that their ears were almost deafened. As soon as they entered the staff training ground, everyone felt that they were in heaven.

The staff training ground, in addition to training the staff officers' paper work ability, is also called "the cradle of sneaky people" by the military. Various reconnaissance teams train here, and some of the training officers are from Tucheng.
To be continued...
