Chapter 582

Clancia, the capital of Netherland, iron felt.

Now the city is under martial law, and soldiers on patrol can be seen in the streets. Regular training sounds are often heard in the camps outside the city. The tension is spreading throughout the county and province.

In the city Lord's mansion, a local government official gathered together. They looked at the map in the middle of the table and discussed it solemnly.

"Report on the current situation." The brown haired consul was serious.

A nearby intelligence officer saluted at attention and answered aloud“ Yes, sir

"Now the Principality of black rock has gathered a large army to invade the border of our country, known as 300000 troops. They have raided from the five main border roads of the county. Now three routes have been broken through by the enemy, and two routes have been repelled by our army."

"In addition, according to our informant, the other side will soon have a group of airships arrive, and carry new weapons from the frost alliance to help fight."

"Is it a musket?"

One side of the Ministry of industry officials frowned. Clancia did not know nothing about muskets. Lorraine Hill once popularized the later development route and a series of related products to senior officials.

"Officer Hui, it's not sure yet. Some people guess it's magic crystal gun or war machine."

"It's not good news anyway." A bearded officer shook his head.

"How much combat power can we mobilize now?"

"At present, there are more than 40000 people in active service, which is the result of the expansion of the army at the beginning of the year. Now, when we add up the number of people in reserve service and those who have recently been trained, the maximum number can reach 80000."

"It's still not enough. There are more than 300000 enemies. Although this figure is boastful, with the support of the frost alliance, their equipment is not bad. It is estimated that the army will be further expanded in the future. "

"In addition, Heiyan has always had the custom of making a living with mercenaries. Civilian military training and common sense are also popular, and a considerable army will soon be drawn up."

"Can the neighboring provinces support it?" Asked a bespectacled scholar, an alchemist in the county.

"Yes, but they have their own difficulties." Said the consul slowly.

"In other border counties of Fengxiao Province, many black rock soldiers have been found. Maybe they will attack. They don't have much support."

"Now the greater hope is the inner rear counties and provinces. Under Fengxi Province, Baimu County promised to support 20000 soldiers."

"What about the instructions from the central government?"

"At present, the war in the south is urgent, and the enemy's legions step across the border one after another. There are not only about 500000 enemy troops besieging Hopland in new Vilga, but also 100000 troops along the heisong river. Finally, the army of the Falcon Kingdom gradually converges to the border. About 300000 desert cavalry and 50000 winged soldiers are on the border of Mufeng province."

"Alas... All parties are in a hurry. It is estimated that they will not be able to support us."

"It is expected that the number of enemy troops will expand in three months, and finally reach the peak of about 600000. Even if we increase the recruitment and do our best, we can only gather about 200000 soldiers after three months."

"We have to rely on the dangerous terrain and the city walls to defend." That's how an experienced officer analyzed it.

"Now it's time to ask the alchemists Association in the county to reinforce the city defense and build the sentry towers along the way."

"It's our job." The alchemist with glasses pushed down his glasses. Although the overall standard of the alchemists in nideshire is still far behind that of ruhrner, they are still experienced in the construction of stonework and civil engineering.

Along the way, there are more than 1200 Knights of honor and more than 1200 noble family emblems, which are only a small part of the welcoming team. Behind these two knights of honor, there are 8000 elite Royal Knights who are more than 4 in the extraordinary sequence. They wore silver armor, red and green roses on their chests, and held halberds to isolate the crowd behind them.

With a slight magic wind blowing, the wine red and green rose petals from the air, slowly fell on the long carpet in the center, let the crowd around give out bursts of screams and cheers.

In the face of such a grand occasion, a team holding a white gold flag outside the city slowly entered the city.

About 2000 knights in white and gold rimmed armour lined up in a neat line. Holding a lance with a white Griffin flag, they protected the three luxury carriages in the center and walked slowly into the city under the gaze of the public.

The leader of the team was a knight in gorgeous gold armour and a golden red cape. At the moment, he was not wearing a helmet. His head was a little dull with golden hair, his face had many wrinkles, and his beard was gray.

This seemingly old man with sharp eyes is the Duke of Griffin today. This time, at the invitation of the emperor, he brought his son and daughter to the capital.

According to many people's conjectures, the royal family today may marry the sarius family, the Duke of Griffins. That is to say, a prince will marry the daughter of the sarius family, and the eldest son of the sarius family, jerane, will also marry an imperial princess.

In order to maintain the close relationship between the royal family and the sarius family, and to act as a heavy ballast in the alternation of power, the stability of the Empire was maintained.

For a moment, the situation gathered and the momentum was very strong. The object of public discussion in the imperial capital also changed from the future White Queen to the family of the Griffin Duke.

Wearing silver and gold rimmed armor and riding a high horse behind his father, he raised his right hand and waved it slowly in response to the excited and burning eyes of the one on the street.

Countless noble girls show their gorgeous and bright dresses, which are in full bloom like flowers. They scream and cry, just to attract the eyes of the eldest son of the Griffin, as if the love story in the poem is going to be staged on themselves.

In the face of such a landscape, for the sake of image, jeran had to keep smiling on his face, but unconsciously drifted to the scene in memory, the dark haired girl standing quietly in the slanting light.

Even if you were born in the top of the Empire, there are moments in your life that you can't help
