Chapter 1538 My Blood Is Still Hot

It was also morning, when the first ray of morning light cast on the palace of Dawn Castle in the capital of Oliska, the court hall was already full of people. Everyone who can enter this hall is a big shot. On that majestic throne, sitting on it is naturally the new ruler of the empire, Julian. After going through various incidents, the former second prince's face has lost a little bit of childishness, and a little more honed perseverance and majesty as a superior. It's just that his figure is still a bit thin, and he doesn't combine the majesty and arrogance of the king seamlessly like the previous emperor Tangliou. Obviously, the new emperor of the empire needs more training.

On the left side of the throne, stands an old man in armor. His hair was frosty white and his face was wrinkled like bark, but no one in the palace dared to underestimate this old man, because he was Marshal Rodke. In the past, the Principality of Shadow invaded, and later, the two princes fought against each other from the north to the south. In these two wars before and after, Rodke was considered exhausted, and he was a few years older. The most obvious thing was his frosty hair, which was already shining white.

Facing Rodke at a distance is the former Prime Minister Naibert standing on the right side of the throne. The old man who had experienced the turmoil in the royal capital and once lost the position of prime minister has now returned to the throne of prime minister. Naibert's complexion looks much better than Rodeck's. His complexion is ruddy, full of energy, and his complexion is three points better than before. He even looks much younger. Indeed, as the late emperor's right-hand man and the new emperor's teacher, they also experienced the most turbulent period together. Now in the ruling and opposition circles, Naibert is the most trusted person in Julian, and naturally he is a well-deserved celebrity in the empire at this time.

Under the marshal and the prime minister, there are the regiment commanders of each legion and important ministers in the court. For example, Woodrick, the leader of the dragon army, has traveled thousands of miles with Julian, and now his reputation is booming, only behind Rodeck. As for Akam, the leader of the Bear Armor Legion who repeatedly pushed Julian's recruitment out that day, he couldn't see him at all. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that even though Arkham still stayed in Moser as his legion commander, Julian only said nothing about what he evaded that day. But in the heart of the new emperor, Arkham was already someone who would be replaced at any time. It's just that he has great prestige in the Bear Armor Army, so he can't be easily moved. But sooner or later, it was a certainty that he would be kicked out of the Xiongjia Army.

The atmosphere in the main hall was oppressive, and the ministers couldn't help but breathe a little easier. Julian glanced at the crowd below, and said in a slightly low voice: "I think everyone already knows that just last night, many port cities along the coast of our country were suddenly attacked, and seven cities fell overnight. Now Only the three or four cities including Ark Harbor are still struggling. As for the specific situation, Marshal Rodeck will supplement."

Rodke coughed lightly, stepped forward and said, "According to the information we have obtained, the enemy who invaded our country this time is an enemy from the east. Many people should be familiar with the name Panlong Empire, yes, it is The overlord on the land to the east of the ocean. The history of the Panlong Empire is even longer than ours. It is a powerful and profound country. No matter the number of troops or powerful people, it is only a lot more than our country. I believe that only their forwards are attacking Zhucheng now, and their main force should still be at sea. It is worth mentioning that before their invasion, our naval fleet did not have any feedback at all. After the invasion, me and the navy Contact has been lost. From this point of view, our sea fleet may have been wiped out!"

Hearing this news from Rodke's mouth, except for a few people, everyone's expression changed. Although the Imperial Navy can't be said to be very powerful, it still has an establishment of tens of thousands of people. And there are at least 10,000 people in the navy stationed on the islands in the Santa Terina Sea for many years, and so many people have not even sent back any news. Then as long as you have a little brain, you can roughly estimate how many people the enemy's main force will have.

"The port city is not only a transportation hub between the north and the south, but also an important gateway to the inland. Today, seven seaport cities have fallen into the hands of the enemy.

If there is no accident, the enemy will use these cities as springboards and start to spread to the interior of our country. If you can't stop it in time at this time, and take back the fallen city. Then it won't be long before you can see the battle flags depicting the dragon pattern in Orliska. "

"We also have a lot of business dealings with the Panlong Empire, Marshal Rodeck, do you think there is any possibility of negotiation." A minister asked.

Rodke said expressionlessly: "Of course there is a possibility of negotiation, but that would have to be after we have shown an evenly matched situation. In view of the disproportionate loss and gain, the enemy will sit on the negotiating table. Now the opponent is aggressive, I don't see any possibility of negotiations in the short term."

"A lion won't negotiate with a rabbit, not to mention a giant dragon from the east over the sea. If we can't even talk about a lion, do you think the dragon will negotiate with us?" Naibert also said: " So it is imperative that you put aside those unrealistic ideas. What we have to do next is to fight head-on, and we must tell the intruders that we are not rabbits, but tigers, lions, and even giants comparable to them. dragon!"

Rodke glanced at this old opponent who had been at odds with each other for many years, and said: "It's rare to have the same opinion as my Prime Minister this time. The Prime Minister is probably right. Not only should we fight back, but we must be tough enough. Only in this way, the enemy Only then will you consider sitting down and talking instead of fighting. Of course, the final decision depends on His Majesty."

At the moment, everyone turned their attention to the young emperor on the throne.

Julian stood up and said: "After experiencing so many disasters, as the lord of a country, I should give the people a peaceful time to recuperate. But now the enemy from the east has ignited the flames of war. If I retreat at this time, I'm afraid It will bring greater disasters to the people. So here, I agree with the opinion of the Marshal and the Prime Minister. Here I declare that our Balegon Empire will fight back with all our strength. Don't forget that our ancestors built this empire in suffering and flames .Don’t forget, the longing for freedom flows in our blood. My blood is still hot when I die!”

There was a silence in the hall, followed by everyone roaring: "My blood is still hot!"

These words are the words roared by the first emperor in the face of desperation. For many years, they have inspired the soldiers of the empire to move forward with determination, so that they can create a country under the threat of the Shadow Principality. Now Julian is using it to inspire everyone, and it makes everyone's blood rush, and everyone's eyes are red and they can't wait to rush to the battlefield immediately.

This is of course impossible.

Next, Rodke announced the details of the counterattack plan, including the decision to transfer the Bear Armor Army stationed in Moser to the nearby city of Tiger Shark Port. Tiger Shark Port has fallen, and there are a lot of enemy troops there. It is true that an elite division like the Xiongjia Army is needed to fight. What's more, in the previous battle between the princes, the Xiongjia army could be said to be unscathed, so no matter from which point of view, there is nothing wrong with dispatching the Xiongjia army to Tiger Shark Port. It's just that everyone in the hall could vaguely feel that it was a sign that Julian had taken Arkham's knife.

The entire counterattack plan will be carried out at the same time, requiring the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the scope of operations will cover the entire coastline of the empire.

Such simultaneous wars on the northern and southern fronts seldom occurred in history, but in the past two years, the Balegon Empire saw such a large-scale battle for the third time. After this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, it is an indisputable fact that the empire's vitality will be severely damaged. It's just that the crisis is just around the corner, and the empire can't help but not fight this battle.

Just as the empire was mobilizing from north to south, a group of people was walking in a forest leading to Bauhinia Ridge. This team is just Father Miro and others who evacuated from Ark Harbor last night. After running around all night, even the energetic Crusader knights are showing signs of fatigue at this time, so the team is not walking fast, and they are looking for an open woodland. Time to stop and rest.

Milo and Vera also got out of the carriage, the priest stretched his waist, and murmured, "The war is finally over, and now it's fighting again. It's hard for people to live a good life."

A knight brought water and bread, and said with a smile: "Don't complain, Father. I think this must be a test given by God. I believe everyone will survive it."

Milo smacked his lips against this knight with strong beliefs, and finally swallowed the insulting words back. After receiving the food, he walked under an old tree, sat on the thick tree root and ate bread.

Vera floated over like a black cloud and sat beside the priest. Milo took a sip of water, swallowed the bread and asked, "I said, can you see the result of this war?"

Vera tore off a small piece of bread and threw it into her mouth, and said softly: "I often can't see the future that involves too many people. Even if I can see it, it's probably just one of the many possibilities in the future. We They're all just human beings, don't think you're really a god after being a god for a long time."

A certain magician choked on his saliva, and said with a sad face, "I also hope that everyone can live a good life."

Just as Vera was about to say something, the girl's eyes suddenly became hollow. Milo jumped up immediately: "What's the matter, what did you see?"

"Someone is coming towards us, and there are quite a few of them. I saw armor I've never seen before, um, this is the symbol of a dragon." Vera's eyes brightened again: "It's the enemy from the east!"

Hearing Vera's words, a knight captain in charge of the team immediately shouted: "Draw your sword, be on guard!"

At the end of the sentence, the sound of feathered arrows piercing the sky resounded in the forest. A crusader infantryman was still holding bread, and a feathered arrow was driven into his neck. While the tail was still dangling, the soldier's bread fell to the ground, and the blood dripping from his body stained the bread red.

Then one by one, warriors in dark red soft armor and half-masks jumped out from the treetops and behind the rocks. Or draw a bow to shoot, or raise a sword to meet. Whether it is an archer or a swordsman, there is a dragon pattern on their chest soft armor!
