Chapter 202 The Golden Mane Bear and the Moon Girl
In Oak Province, an army formed a long snake and was advancing through the continuous mountains and forests.
They are well-equipped, with strong horses of different bloods, finely crafted armors and ordnance, and the carriages loaded with supplies make a crunching sound when they move along.
In addition to the bloody rose flag that symbolizes the royal family, this army also has more golden mane flags. The flag is attached to a long gun shaft, with a three-edged spear tip at the head, followed by a golden mane spear tassel, and then
It's the bear's head flag painted with golden mane.
They are a powerful legion directly affiliated with the war general 'Bazel'. This general 'Bazel' is also one of the 'three victorious generals' who emerged in the empire during the Western Expedition. His reputation is second only to that of the former 'Darcy'.
', known as the 'Fearless Furious Bear'.
The other two "Three Victorious Generals" are "Pure Iron General" Darcy, and "Blood Front General" Sifulei.
The three of them have their own characteristics. Darcy has an iron will, discipline and strength, which makes it almost impossible to find faults. Bazel is extremely ferocious when leading troops to attack. Although it will cause a lot of casualties, it always fails.
Able to achieve strategic goals without ever failing..
Silver is famous for being smart and brave, trying his best to reduce losses without being ambushed, but sometimes it makes people feel that he lacks offensiveness, so he is only ranked third.
The legions led by these three generals are the most solid and reassuring fulcrum on the battlefield, and are also the key to supporting morale at the end of the expedition.
However, as Darcy, the leader of the three victorious generals, was defeated and captured, the morale of the army gradually began to collapse. Then the situation took a turn for the worse, and the empire had to surrender and sign a peace agreement.
After everything was over, although Darcy was released by Crancia in exchange for the captured officers and soldiers of the empire. However, within the empire, he was questioned and attacked by nobles from all sides, and the emperor who originally supported him had also passed away, so he had to
He left the army and his whereabouts are unknown.
Nowadays, the only two most prestigious generals in the empire are Bazel and Severi. Counting further down, they are probably the senior generals from before the Western Expedition. However, most of these people are old
The noble factions were not favored by the new emperor and regent.
In the advancing army, an extremely strong general was riding on a dark war horse. He was as big as a bear and had an aura of calmness and power. He was wearing heavy gold and bronze armor, with a bright yellow cloak on his back, with the words "
Bear's head side coat of arms.
Looking at the knights and soldiers of this army, their cloaks and blouses also have this bright yellow color and pattern, and the style is very unified.
The barrels of the muskets on their shoulders are thicker than ordinary firearms. The barrels are plated with gold and copper, giving them a rough and powerful style. The caliber of the artillery placed on the carriages is also much larger.
Can fire more powerful cannonballs.
This legion is called the 'Golden Mane Bears' and is one of the top legions in the empire. The various weapons in its hands are the latest sophisticated creations made by the alchemy workshop in the imperial capital, and their power is far superior to that of ordinary elite legions.
They have now been dispatched by His Majesty the Regent to go to the south to suppress the rebellion. The departure of this army has also caused many people in the empire to silence themselves again and stop talking about matters in the south.
"General, the camp in front has been set up, and we will repair it there today." On the field, a knight wearing full-coverage armor came over to report.
Bazel looked at the tower spiers and tall city walls exposed in the mountains and forests in the distance, and nodded. At this time, he saw that the soldier seemed to be hesitant, so he asked in a low voice.
"Anything else?"
"Uh, yes!" After hearing the general's words, the knight realized that he had made a mistake of hesitating and he immediately replied loudly.
"Shortly after we set up camp, several witches came to our door and offered to help us."
"Witch, why are there still these people?" Bazel sat on a heavy giant horse about five meters high and looked down at the knight, with disdain and disgust in his eyes.
Most witches originated from the Mercury Dynasty in the First Era. Because witches were so powerful at that time, there were many female worshipers and followers in the dynasty. These people were called "witches" to distinguish them from ordinary "wizards"
Come.
Most of them are good at refining medicines, spells, and understanding hidden knowledge. However, with the disintegration of the Mercury Dynasty and the rise of the magic sequence, these people's status was gradually replaced by mages. Later, many witches simply became mages, that is, the masters.
Fix the magic sequence and no longer fiddle with the undead sequence.
Nowadays, apart from the cold forests in the northern reaches of the empire, it is difficult to see groups claiming to be witches anywhere else, and their images have become mysterious as a result.
In Bazel's eyes, witches are the kind of liars who make lies and play with people's hearts. These people make prophecies and claim that they can see destiny and the future in order to make profits.
Bazel, who was born a commoner, suffered a lot from this group of people when he was a child. His mother wasted a lot of money at home because she believed in a witch who measured fortunes on the street.
This made Bazel's father often quarrel with his mother over this when he was a child, which also made Bazel even less fond of women, especially witches.
Seeing the anger in the general's eyes, the knight had to defend himself.
"Actually, I don't welcome such strangers into the army, but they said that they have a letter of recommendation from the Duke of Raven in the North, the Trey family."
The influence of the four great dukes in the aristocratic circle is huge, and few people can't help but believe it. After hearing this, Bazel no longer held the knight accountable.
"Let's leave them alone for a few days. I'm busy with military affairs now and don't have time to see them."
"Yes, sir." Then, the knight with the gun rode his horse again and went to the front to make arrangements.

The southern border, the city of mountain cherry blossoms.
Nowadays, the 'Drywood' organization rarely holds a general meeting, which brings together 6 high-level members, 37 mid-level members, and 436 junior members.
Among them, the six highest-ranking ones are ‘Wu Ming’, Gu Huas, Gu Weier, Xia Lanluote, Jia Lan, and Lu Bin.
Among them, Charanlot and Gweir represent the original aristocratic forces in the south, Guhuas represents some armed forces among the people, Jialan is supported by scholars and farmers, Lubin is the liaison between the revolutionary army and businessmen, and 'Unknown'
It is the spiritual symbol of the organization.
In a newly built hall, everyone gathered around circular tables, listening and discussing together.
"The next step for the organization will be discussed below," the host announced.
"It is recommended to speed up the progress and capture the capital of the southern border, the Red Heart Province first." A knight in gold and red armor stood up and spoke. He was a red dragon knight belonging to the Baskar family.
"If we can capture that city, it will greatly boost morale, and at the same time, it will also allow those swaying intermediate organizations to guide us." Another man wearing round glasses also stood up. He was once a businessman,
Naturally familiar with the ideas of those organizations.
"The three 'Three Eyes' that focus on intelligence and assassination may continue to hide underground, but the 'Seven Rings' who represent the alliance of merchants will not be so calm. They must have the permission of the ruler to survive, otherwise business will be
It became a joke and turned into an underground dark organization like the 'Three Eyes'."
"What about the 'Agate Stone'? It is said that several of them have been involved in the chaos in the southern border recently." Another scholar in white and blue robes stood up. He used to live in a small town and looked at the bottom of the 'Agate Stone'.
Several organizations have only heard of it, but are also very interested.
"The ingredients of 'Agate Stone' are the most complex. You can't even think of them as a whole. It was only because in the past, those people combined them to discuss them for the convenience of memory and legend." A member lowered the brim of his hat and answered.
"The 'Red Jade' are a group of blood mages and swordsmen who worship the secrets of the Crimson Empire. The 'Green Jade' are a group of scholars and gardeners who delve into elven knowledge and are passionate about plants. The 'Transparent Stone' is a group of people who worshiped the secrets of the Red Empire after the destruction of Oz.
, some secret inheritance of magic sequences hidden among the people, but they are far different from the schools of the two major mage countries today. The 'Bone Gold' are a group of strange guys who study orc shamans and wild sorcery."
"Among them, 'Red Jade' and 'Green Jade' have many descendants of nobles. They were originally organizations in the Southern Territory on the surface. Many nobles would even join them to learn some extraordinary knowledge and practice sequences. But now the Southern Territory is in chaos.
Only half hidden."
"The 'Transparent Stone' and 'Bone Gold' were secret organizations from the beginning. The extraordinary schools among them are not known to outsiders, and there are only sporadic rumors about them. In addition, an investigation within the organization some time ago showed that the 'Wolf Bone Alchemist'
Fang' is a small branch of 'Gujin'."
"Ah, is it the alchemy workshop that provided the butler with the potion and confused the former Viscount Wenlani?"
"Yes, in order to avoid the empire's pursuit, they invented many secret things to gain wealth, shelter, and even power."
After hearing this information, people in the conference room who had never known it before were very surprised and began to discuss it with the people around them. The room became a little noisy for a while.
Although the 'Fairy Wood' is now a large organization, most of its members were not high-ranking figures in the past, so naturally they do not know these secrets, but this time they have opened their eyes.
Knowing that everyone was very curious, the meeting was paused for a few minutes. After seeing that everyone's curiosity was somewhat satisfied, the host knocked the hammer next to the table to temporarily silence the conference room.
"Okay, let's move on to discuss whether we should attack Chixin Province directly."
"First of all, let's talk about the information about the Red Heart Province."
"This is the largest branch of the province located on the south side of the Dragon's Back Mountains. The mountains in it show huge slopes on the ground that are dozens of miles long. As the original main city of the Baskar family, Falfna,
One of the tallest peaks is built on the mountain."
"Logically speaking, because Lord Charanlot is now one of us, it should be easy to occupy this city and the province. But now a large number of legions from the Southern Empire have gathered here, and those who originally supported the Baskar family
The forces have also been raided and eliminated many times, and now the Imperial Legion has even made large-scale arrangements to move many residents in the city to other towns to arrange for the Legion to be stationed there."
"Because it is built on a mountain, the terrain is extremely steep, and there are even many surveillance towers with eternal burning lights. The fire towers built on these peaks are now equipped with giant crossbows and artillery, which will cause a lot of damage to the troops below.
If we attack rashly, I am afraid it will cause great sacrifices, and we will no longer be able to deal with the empire's encirclement and suppression." The scholar said his own opinion.
"But if we don't take the Red Heart Province at this time, and wait for the reinforcements from the central part of the empire to arrive later, our life will become even more difficult, and the people will gradually lose confidence. The Empire's 'Golden Mane Bear' Legion
, has already set off, and now it is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed any longer."
After saying this, the hall fell into an anxious discussion. Some people were in favor of taking this opportunity to attack in order to quickly expand the results, but some were opposed. Now the strength is not enough. Many provinces have just been captured, so it is not stable.
, if you attack rashly, you may be attacked from behind.
Watching the heated discussions among these members, the most senior people in the meeting did not speak easily. They often did not express their thoughts at the beginning. This would greatly deviate the direction of the meeting and make it difficult for different opinions to be expressed.
.
Unless the moment comes when a decision must be made.
At this moment, Lorraine Hill was also looking at the map in the middle and thinking. According to the intelligence, the 'Golden Mane Bear' legion was particularly sophisticated. It also mobilized many elite forces from the central provinces to coordinate with them. It was so powerful that it was estimated that they would gather in the south by then.
With more than 400,000 troops, this was the largest gathering of military power in the empire since the Western Expedition.
Originally, it was necessary to cultivate for a period of time and digest it, but the enemy would not give it this time because they also understood the key to it.
Now she had to make a choice, whether to attack Chixin Province or to defend passively to prepare for the war. The girl's fingers were unconsciously stroking her hair, her eyes looking at the dark yellow map without moving.
Maybe, we don't have a choice.
Looking at the distribution on the map and the worst possible situation, Lorraine Hill made this decision.
If, when the empire's reinforcements arrive, the legions stationed in the south attack from another direction, how can we resist here? We don't have enough strength in the first place, so we have to divide our forces.
The Red Heart Province must be captured so that a barrier can be built on the east side of the territory to resist possible attacks, so that it can fully deal with the powerful army coming from the north.
But this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to help out, because I have to be stationed at the headquarters and the front line to defend the northern army from moving south at any time, and another person will be assigned to coordinate the heavy task of attacking on the east side.
After thinking about this, she raised her head, her eyes slowly swept across the room, and finally stopped on a girl who was about the same age as her.
"I agree with this plan to attack the Red Heart Province. Lord Guhuas and Lord Charlanlot will be the main commanders, and the rest will be assisted by multiple commanders and extraordinary beings..."
Hearing this person speak, Lu Bin first expressed his agreement, and 'Nameless' nodded, and then Gweir and Guhuas also agreed one after another. In this way, the discussion in the hall ended, and everyone began to negotiate the next step.
The question is how many troops should be sent, what kind of materials should be prepared, and who should accompany, command, assist, etc.
At the end of this topic, ‘Wu Ming’ rarely spoke up, adding a name that was somewhat unfamiliar to everyone.
"I suggest that the girl with the moon, Luna, be an important collaborator in this operation."
Under the name of this adult, a young girl sitting at the back of the conference hall quickly came into focus.
The girl, who was wearing a purple and white dress and a snow-white wizard hat with purple pendants, also took off her hat and stood up, revealing her creamy golden hair.
"I'm glad that I can help everyone." Then a magical aura like light smoke appeared on the girl's body, and people were shocked to realize that at some point, there was already a new Sequence 7 transcendent in the organization, or was it?
A rare undead sequence.
At this moment, although Sequence 7 is no longer as rare as it was during the Western Expedition, the number in the entire empire is definitely not large. The number allocated to the southern border is probably no more than two hands, and it will be more difficult to advance as a human
, but it will also be correspondingly more powerful and can compete with ordinary Sequence 8 Warcraft.
Now, the originally pessimistic members gradually began to feel hopeful.
