As early as the Harvest Moon, the villages and manors from the north of Butchi to the Golan-Elsen Pass were notified that the Black Rose of Bromando on the opposite side might be about to move. [ ] The people stationed here are soldiers belonging to Braggs.
Walter, the deputy commander of the White Wings Cavalry Regiment of the Vanmere Legion, had already received news from the princess, warning of possible local wars and organizing evacuation work. However, this work was carried out in name only, and the residents of the land - especially the farmers - were difficult to part with.
Their most precious wealth, the nobles are not willing to drive their farmhands north to let the land fall into disuse. The key is that in the last period before the autumn harvest, there are still heavy ears of wheat hanging in the fields. If someone has been fleeing for a year at this time,
There was no hope for the harvest, and it might be affected next year. Almost everyone stayed here with a sense of luck, except for a few handicraftsmen.
But north of Butchi, these orders were well implemented. The residents still had memories of the war in the previous year, and deep fear still existed in their bones. However, most of the refugees at that time had gathered in
Near Bragues, the panic caused by the war brought more refugees, and these people almost overwhelmed the southern border city. In order to ensure the supply of the army, the city owner, Baron Rockwell, had to reduce the number of refugees outside the city.
rations, a feeling of resentment and restlessness has spread among the crowd.
In early September, a letter was delivered to Princess Griffin via Freya:
'Your Highness, Madala may have completed its substantial unification today. The composition of the army has changed greatly compared with the Black Rose War. To the west of the Sea of the Dead Moon, a large number of corpse witch lords have already marched towards the immortal.
The Supreme Being has sworn allegiance, so there may be more corpse witches in Madara's army than is common sense, so please be careful.'
When Griffin saw this letter, she was studying Warnd Continental History with Ms. Weiss. She was startled when she saw the letter. She raised her head and smiled apologetically at her teacher. Ms. Weiss
She has always been serving the royal family. She is the kind of aristocratic woman who is very well-informed. She quickly realized what happened, smiled and nodded to Her Highness the Princess, put away the teaching aids and retreated. Only then did Griffith quickly get them.
After writing the letter to Overwell, Sir Wolf looked a little confused after reading the letter. It is not an easy task to place informants in Madara. The royal party spent a lot of energy in the past year to place several very peripheral people.
Eyeliner. However, the news sent back by those people was that everything was normal. How could Count Tonigel understand so clearly at once? He flicked the corner of the letter and pondered for a moment: "Your Highness, can you confirm this letter?"
What’s the origin?”
"This letter was handed over to me by Freya. There should be nothing wrong with it." Griffith blushed and was embarrassed to say that only she and Brando knew the secret message on the letterhead. Because she didn't know anyone about it.
I told him, and I was worried that Overwell would think that she didn't trust him enough. But there was nothing unusual about the look on Overwell's face. He shook his head and said: "This is a bit strange. Where did the Earl get this information?"
?”
"But Sir Overwell, I don't think there is any need for Count Tonigel to deceive us on this matter." Griffith frowned and argued with reason. Overwell looked at his own in surprise.
A glance at the nominal student revealed that she had previously heard rumors that she had a grudge against Count Tonigel. She didn't expect to reconcile so quickly, but that's fine. Before Brando became successful, he had quite a lot of contact with the other party.
For a long time, I have always felt that this person is not as power-hungry as the rumors say. Although time will change everything, some deep-rooted nature is difficult to remove, not to mention that Eruin needs stability now. If Her Royal Highness the Princess is eager to compete with the powerful officials,
Seizing fame and wealth is probably not a good thing.
Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess understood the general idea. Overwell nodded, but immediately shook his head and said: "The letter said that Madara may have completed substantial unification today. If this is true, this letter will
It seems too important, but I am a little confused about whether Madara can complete such a major transformation in just one and a half years. You must know that although Eruin has just experienced a war, for Madara
The same is true for Lala. Madala is a huge country with more entangled interests, and it will take longer to digest the benefits of the war. Count Tonigel once asserted that this war was privately initiated by Blood Staff Juge
Border provocation. I agree very much with this. This kind of thing has happened many times in the history of Eruin. This is not only the case in Madala. Occasionally, the lords on the border of Eruin will privately lead their troops into Madara.
Plunder the territory of Dara."
He smiled bitterly and did not tell Griffiin that in fact, in the early years, there were more such situations. The Blood Rod's invasion of Karasu was revenge for the Lord of Golden City. At that time, Madala was in disarray, and Eruin
It is a kingdom with complete sovereignty. In history, there has never been a tradition of the weak party frequently invading the strong party. But since the Black Rose War, this situation has gradually begun to reverse. In fact, most knowledgeable people in the kingdom can clearly understand that.
Recognize that the black Bromando rose may be in full bloom, but no one would believe that Madara was quickly unifying and was about to start another all-out war.
But if Brando were here, he would tell him that the nature of this war is very special. To put it bluntly, the Supreme Being of Madara and the Banshee King Arvette teamed up to stage a trick to trick the blood stick into death.
, On the surface, Madala is still divided, but as he said, it has essentially completed its reunification. This war is the last battle for the Supreme One to eliminate dissidents. Now within the borders of Madala, everything
The resources and strength are unified, preparing for the next battle to revive the dark kingdom. And now the Blood Staff, with the overt and covert connivance of that person, the army has taken the lead in completing the changes, and that will be the Kingdom of Eruin
The first 'New Madara' army they encountered, Duke Golan-Elsen suffered a big loss in history.
Unfortunately, Brando is not here and cannot explain these. He can only hope that Princess Griffin and Overwell will pay enough attention to his opinions.
After listening to Overwell's words, Griffin was still undecided. This time she faced an almost unknown opponent. Before the Black Rose War, Madara was a threat to the border and a threat to her siblings.
Scabies, and the local nobles are pressing harder and harder, is the scabies on the chest and back. In fact, this still represents the thoughts of most nobles until now. If it were not for the purpose of solving Jean Denel's troubles, this autumn
For Eruin, the war is still just another side provocation. Although Griffiin vaguely realizes that the rise of Madara may be a threat to this ancient kingdom, he wants to
It is impossible to understand each other.
She thought for a moment before replying: "Although this judgment is logical, it is too arbitrary. I believe that the earl will not make a mistake."
"I'm not doubting the Earl." Overwell couldn't help but smile bitterly again. It seemed that his student did not believe in the Earl of Tonigel. He suddenly realized that it might be Ampelsel who defeated Her Royal Highness in the battle.
It left a deep impression on her, making her somewhat blindly trust Brando's military talent. But in fact, he and even Count Odin knew that the other party's military talent could only be said to be average, but his judgment on the development of things was exceptionally good.
. He thought for a moment, probably because he once described Brando's fighting experience in a too romantic way when talking to her. He originally wanted to leave a deep impression on the princess just out of admiration.
impression, after all, Tony Geer is indeed a rare talent, and it is better to remain loyal to the kingdom and ideals. Compared to Macaro and Li Woods, he appreciates such a young generation more, but at this moment Ou
Fowell still shook his head. It seemed that it was necessary to remind the princess to prevent her from having unrealistic ideas. This would not be a good thing for Brando or her.
He thought for a moment before adding: "I'm just worried that Count Tonigel has been misled by intelligence."
"Are you saying that Brando...Count Tonigel's information may be distorted or even a trap?" Griffin reacted and asked with a frown.
Overwell nodded.
Half an hour later, Odin, the Grand Duke of Viero, and the envoys of the Highland Knights were summoned. The Grand Duke of Viero pondered for a moment after reading the letter in his hand, and then called his men. The man who claimed to be with Madara
The middle-aged knight, who had been dealing with him for a long time and knew something about the black rose of Bromando, shook his head and said after hearing the princess's question: "Recently, there have been rumors that Madara is in a state of chaos.
They have experienced certain changes, but I think it is at this time that they will act more cautiously. If what Count Tonigel said is true, how can the blood staff be obtained from their supreme master at this time?
Where’s your full support?”
"I think our main enemy should be Jean Denel." Archduke Viero even put forward his own opinion: "We have just signed a peace agreement with Madara, and the Blood Staff should not be too reckless.
It must be that they were beguiled by Jean Denel and thought they saw an opportunity before sending troops to take advantage and please their supreme being."
Grand Duke Viero's answer was too subjective. Everyone present couldn't help but shake their heads, and Griffin even frowned, because her grandfather's analysis was almost completely opposite to Brando's. It could be seen that,
The focus of Count Tonigel's plan was to focus on Madara. This was also in line with her thoughts. She did not want to make changes to this, so she pretended not to hear her grandfather's answer and looked towards
The Highland Knights.
The head of the mission of the Highland Knights is an experienced and stable old knight, but the person who spoke was a slightly younger wizard. The wizard simply replied: "According to the information we have received, it is not supported yet.
Count Tonigel's views, although the Supreme of Madara has almost unified the opinions of the dark nobles, Madara cannot be said to be completely unified now. Most of the vampire families support him, but the dark lord and
But they seem to be in harmony with each other. The corpse witch is just temporarily bowing its head due to the pressure of the first two. In addition, the banshee king Arvette has always resisted the invitation from the Holy Palace of Eludnir. In our opinion, the two
Sooner or later there will be a battle between them."
It seemed that almost all the information was against Brando's judgment. Griffith was a little embarrassed. From her heart, she was willing to believe Count Tonigel, although she was a little concerned about Brando's possible ambitions.
She is afraid, but she trusts Brando's judgment on the future situation, especially since the two have surprisingly consistent political views. But how can she convince others, or is Brando really wrong?
At this time, Freya finally couldn't help but speak: "Perhaps Arvette and the Queen are just inseparable from each other? The blood staff lightly started the war, which was tantamount to violating the peace agreement between the two countries. It would be okay if they won, but if
If it fails, it is likely to be eradicated directly. The Blood Staff itself is the most unruly faction among the dark lords. It has no reason to flatter Madala, the supreme one. Jug is a cruel and greedy lord. It took revenge in the first place.
Karassu was driven by a violent temper rather than reason. Once again, it may be that he was also defying the authority of the Supreme Being. If so, the information now on the table would make sense."
Her words silenced the entire study.
No one knew that this was the guess closest to the truth. Even Freya herself didn't understand. She just heard Brando talk about it accidentally and blindly trusted the other party's judgment. But after a moment of silence, she
Seeing that the Highland knights were shaking their heads, the middle-aged knight under Grand Duke Viero even said: "Absurd, your argument is purely a conspiracy theory. This is a war. How can we speculate on the Supreme Being?"
What is the dispute with the blood staff? The key is, these things you said. Apart from speculation, is there any evidence?"
"Evidence?" Freya blushed. The evidence was that Brando told her, but she also understood that this sentence obviously cannot be used as evidence.
In the end, it was Griffith who saved the siege because of her. "In any case, your lordship's proposal is out of caution. Please pass the contents of this letter to the generals below. It is not a bad thing to be prepared." After speaking,
Her Royal Highness the Princess glanced at the daughter of the Earth Knight and couldn't help but shake her head. She knew that Brando hoped that this little girl could stand alone in the future. She did have the qualifications and background, and had experienced so many things.
She did become calmer after that, but she still seemed a little too anxious when it came to Count Tonigel's controversy. Somehow, she felt a little envious in her heart. Brando's political opinions were actually her political opinions.
Madara's precautions were also one of the thoughts in her mind, but she could not stand up and bluntly defend her and Count Tonigel's opinions like Freya.
Because she is the sister of the future King Eruin, and the actual controller of the balance of this kingdom at this moment.
Overwell looked at the handwriting written by his nominal student. It contained everyone's opinions on how to deal with Brando's proposal. He shook his head secretly. Her Highness the Princess was still too immature in these aspects. She was too ignorant.
Understand the people below. The envoys of Viero and Lantonilan seemed very unconcerned, and the attitude of the Highland knights did not show enough attention. Even if the above is like this, the below are even more overt and covert. The execution of this order is still strong.
How much it will cost is questionable.
However, Sir Wolf did not expect that all of them would not need to worry about this problem soon, because before this order came out of the gate of Wallentenburg, Bromando's black rose was already quiet under the shadow.
Bloom quietly.
Golan-Elsen Corridor——
This corridor is located in the north of the Uson Mountains, between Tosankad Forest and Butchi. It has another name, the Silman area. Like most of the territories located on the border of Eruin, Silman also
It is not a fertile land. The west side of Silman is hilly, and there are only gentle areas in the valley to the east. Dots of villages and manors are scattered in this valley belt. The two rivers in the south,
One flows through Butcher, and the other flows through the Silman Valley, and finally merges into Lake Warrenden. This second river is the lifeline of the Silman area.
Starting from the Harvest Moon, three brigades of cavalry have been scattered on this lifeline. They sound powerful, but they are loosely distributed in every town. In fact, they are only one or two squadrons. In order to prevent the dispersion of troops, the deputy commander
Commander Walter concentrated most of his active forces in Owl Town, the most prosperous town in the Silman area, and then released the patrols and scouts of the entire cavalry regiment in small teams to monitor the Yusong Pass in the south. And it was
That evening, the patrols that were supposed to return on time gradually disappeared.
At about seven o'clock, scouts reported that a small group of undead activities were found in the south. However, at this time, most people in the Silman Valley still had a sense of luck, and even Walter thought it was just Madara.
The reason is very simple. Since Madara controls the Butchi area with a wider area of attack, there is really no need to attack from the Silman Valley. At 8:30, Walter met the troops from Vanmere.
The messenger learned that since the afternoon, a large number of undead armies have been attacking the front line of defense of Vanmere.
As expected, the main force of Madara's attack was in Butchi, and Walter was relieved. Although he also received warnings from the princess, the Vanmere Army was actually closer to Duke Golan-Elsen.
It is a well-known fact that Her Royal Highness the Princess reminded the Duke out of good intentions, but the Duke, especially the people below, may not appreciate it, not to mention that people like them who have been fighting against Madara for many years think that the above are purely chaotic.
command.
They know very well what those skeletons on the other side of the mountain are thinking.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Walter rubbed his eyes and walked out of the tent, trying to make one last observation, and then he saw the miracle of stars rising in the sky.
