Chapter 1537: Oriental Dragon
No matter how long the night is, it will pass.
Just as the sun was rising, people came in one after another in the hall of the Dawn Castle's City Lord's Mansion, and each of these faces who entered the hall was an important figure. Especially Edward, although this young man is only an earl, he is already well-known in the south. So when he walked into the hall, the hall immediately fell silent to show his respect.
The former Maritan star boy is now a handsome man. He glanced at everyone in the hall, and said: "I believe you have heard that the Ark Harbor was attacked last night. However, with the efforts of Deep Sea Linji and the Church Crusaders, the Ark Harbor was temporarily preserved. The Ark Harbor has already reported to us. Ask for help, I have sent an army of about 10,000 people to support, I believe it can resist for a while. But this is not the most serious thing. What is more serious is that last night, not only the Ark Harbor was attacked."
Behind Edward, a topographic map of the empire was hung on the wall, and some red triangle marks were inserted on the map. Edward stepped back a little, looked at the map and said: "As you can see, last night including the Ark Port, Tiger Shark Port, Ice Star Port and other port cities of no less than ten large and small cities were violently attacked. According to the According to the information sent back this morning by Dark Blade members from all over the world, there are already seven cities that have fallen. The invaders are not planning to stay in the cities. They rely on these cities as a springboard to invade the interior of the empire on a large scale and are heading towards other cities. Urban sprawl."
Edward was scribbling on the map with a pen, and saw the lines spread from the cities with triangle marks to the inland. In Edward's pen, the coastal areas of the empire are almost covered with red lines. Everyone looked at these red traces, and even the most optimistic people felt dignified. Where those red lines go, it is the area covered by war. It is conceivable that soon, the coastline of the empire will be full of battles.
"That's right, the invaders came from the sea this time. The empire's naval fleet didn't send any alarms back. Either there is an inside line in the navy, or the imperial navy has been completely wiped out. If it's the latter, then the situation in the empire will be dire. It will be more serious." Edward sighed: "Although I don't want to admit it, but this time, I think the danger is higher than the imperial civil war. If one is not good, I am afraid that the empire will change hands."
Edward is not alarmist. The last invasion of the Shadow Principality and the subsequent imperial civil war consumed both the strong and the army. Now that the new emperor is succeeding, Julian's policy will undoubtedly focus on recuperation. But when the empire's national power was empty, a sea invader came, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the current Balegon Empire. From the fact that the invaders almost drove straight in and landed in the seven coastal port cities, it is not difficult to see that the current military strength of the empire is in an extremely weak state.
"My lord, do you know the identity of the intruder?" someone asked from below.
Edward looked at a person, and that person was the staff dragon from the east. Edward said: "Perhaps Mr. Long knows this better than me."
Everyone glanced at the dragon, even though the oriental man became the focus of sight, he still stood up calmly and said: "From the news, the invader's warship is painted with a pattern of a dragon, and the dragon is a kind of origin. The giant dragon created by the ancient art of the East embodies the imagination and spirit of the ancestors, and has always been regarded as a symbol of dignity and auspiciousness in the East. The only one that uses the Tenglong as a symbol is the Panlong Empire, a human country in the East. That is A human kingdom that is older than the Balegon Empire. It can be traced back thousands of years ago and has a long history of culture. Come, the earth will be turned upside down, and the earth will be torn apart!"
After Long finished speaking, someone in the hall chuckled and said, "Mr. Long, that sounds a bit exaggerated."
"There are ten holy powerhouses in the Balegon Empire. As far as I know, there are at least 20 or even more powerhouses in the Panlong Empire. And this information was before I came across the ocean. information,
After so many years, God knows how many powerful people have been added to the Panlong Empire. As for the army, as long as you know that the population of the Panlong Empire is more than ten times that of Bailegang, you can guess how many of their imperial army there is. Believe me, it is only the vanguard of the Panlong Empire that is attacking the various port cities now, and their main force should still be at sea. "
Long glanced at Edward lightly and said: "I have not been in the Panlong Empire for many years. Before crossing the ocean, I was still an ignorant child. But at that time, I have heard the elders in the family say that in the court of the Panlong Empire, there has always been There is a plan to move westward. When an empire becomes strong, and it has been doing so for hundreds or thousands of years, then a mere continent can no longer satisfy it, at least, it cannot satisfy the appetite of the emperor of the empire. But the plan to move westward has been delayed First, because the two continents are separated by a sufficiently vast sea. As we all know, even with the current relatively mature navigation technology, business groups traveling between the two continents still suffer casualties from time to time. The sea is worthy of awe, and anything can happen on the sea , so to move troops from the east to the west, you only need to think about the huge consumption. In addition, not everyone in the DPRK and China supports the westward plan. This group of people is called conservative They think that it is not easy to keep the huge foundation of the empire, and sending troops westward is simply throwing their ancestors’ property into the sea. Of course, the radicals who support the westward plan don’t think so. The Panlong Empire has developed for thousands of years, and the mainland Resources have been depleted day by day. If no new territory can be opened up, the glory of the empire will continue. The two factions have been arguing endlessly, so the emperor of the empire has not made up his mind. But now it seems that the emperor of the empire has made a decision gone."
Edward asked: "So what advice can Mr. Long give us?"
"It's hard. I have been away from the empire for decades, and I don't know the news from the other side of the sea. I can only say, be careful and don't have any intention of underestimating it. The giant dragon from the east will be far more threatening than Everyone's imagination." Long leaned forward and said, "The next meeting, Mr. Edward, should I avoid suspicion?"
Edward laughed: "Don't say that Mister Long left the Panlong Empire for many years, even if it wasn't the case. As long as you are in this hall, you don't need to avoid suspicion. If you betray us, it's because of my ignorance. It's not your fault, sir. at me."
This is Edward's measure, and everyone in the hall nodded. Long sat back calmly, lowered his head, folded his hands expressionlessly, and didn't know what he was thinking now. Edward coughed lightly and said, "Now, if you have any suggestions, feel free to offer them."
