Chapter 320 The King is About to Return
The messenger in front of me is by no means the only one, nor is he the first to come to see the king;
Before him, there were many high-level gryphon knights and even core gryphon knights who personally led the team eastward, just to avoid any unknown accidents as much as possible.
But after that, not only did the country not receive the proper reply from the king, but even the messengers who came and went never returned.
Before meeting Kessel in person, this confidant thought that the messengers were left in the far east to supplement the frontline's combat power;
Although he was not dissatisfied with the King of the Rhine's neglect of domestic affairs, he never thought about it in a worse direction, because he simply did not think that several teams would encounter a scenario where "no one could escape".
But now, the king has made a guarantee in the name of Father God, saying that he has never received any bad news from the rear so far;
He said that although messengers did arrive, all they sent were indifferent news, and they set off back to the country after delivery.
This is indeed the case, otherwise how could the King of the Rhine be so stubborn and choose to continue fighting this loss-making war with no end in sight?
So, where does the problem occur?
Who are those messengers who come and go, where do they come from, and where do they end up?
These questions made them feel a little creepy. Even a powerful and arrogant King of the Rhine felt a deep panic in the information that did not correspond to each other at all.
Perhaps, somewhere in the south, there is a prison filled with prisoners, which can barely answer the questions raised by the King of the Rhine;
Or perhaps, dreams and some cunning 'transformed angels' can also give him subsequent answers.
But for now, he could only choose to suppress his uneasiness first and think about what to do next.
Now that things have developed to this point, it seems that the war in front of him can no longer continue. He decided to withdraw his troops and return to the country, turning around to deal with the rebels first, so that these slaves can once again recall the bloody lessons of their ancestors.
.
But before that, there is actually one more thing that must be carried out.
The original decision to 'continue fighting' was not just the King of the Rhine's own will. Father God's promise was the most critical factor in it. Moreover, those doubts that had arisen before were also urgently needed to turn to Father God for help.
Therefore, a sacrifice for brave warriors began to be prepared, and its participants included not only the gloomy-looking Kessel himself, but also the thirteen princesses and matrons, who were somewhat guilty but not truly afraid.
The latter had no doubts about what the angel said, and believed that even if there was indeed a response during this sacrifice, its source would never be the 'false god' himself.
But no matter what everyone thinks here, this sacrifice is still being carried out at the moment, and there are many things in it that even the angels have no way of knowing.
For example, at this moment, whether King of the Rhine's prayers directly turned into invisible and immaterial thoughts, or whether some immaterial and immaterial medium carried his prayers is an ambiguous and unsolved mystery, but this does not prevent
Something is bound to happen.
~~~~~~
A little far behind the new royal capital of the Rhine, a solitary mountain more than two thousand meters long and one thousand meters high stood abruptly;
Just a few years ago, this mountain was a "bald place" with nothing but earth and rocks. Dark and ugly yellow was its main color at that time, and few plants could be seen.
But in recent years, some of the matrons in the royal capital seemed to have reached an agreement, and everyone fell in love with the forest together, and began to dislike the unsightly bare mountains.
Not just talking, they also sent their slaves to work in the mountains. By constantly digging holes and planting trees, they used a lot of labor in a few years to turn it into the sparkling green it is today;
The other Rhine people didn't say anything because they also thought it would look better this way.
At this moment, the distant thoughts arising from prayers rose from an invisible place, and extended all the way to the west at an extremely fast speed, finally arriving and burrowing into this solitary mountain that had turned into a green ocean.
Then, under the influence of the layer upon layer of invisible network channels that were also woven by thoughts, when it broke through the invisible 'space' that extended to the 9th floor, after passing through countless illusory kings, it came to its true place.
When pointing to the 'destination';
The actual meaning of the content expressed has already undergone some subtle but extremely critical changes in a series of complex processes such as deceleration, twisting, and steering.
'Come back, you did a great job.'
In the Far East, Kessel received a response from Father God, but the meaning left him a little confused. In the end, he could only figure it out on his own.
He did not pursue the failure of the war, but attributed it to the kindness and generosity of God the Father;
Not giving instructions because of the rebellion at the rear is because God the Father doesn’t care about the clown;
By not answering his previous doubts, Father God wanted him to work hard to solve the problem on his own.
And out of a certain belief, and also out of a certain unimaginability, Kessel trusted the results of his own imagination, so he started the process of withdrawing his troops and returning.
Therefore, under his order, the main army began to gradually evacuate the camp, and moved slowly westward. The servant army had to be busy collecting the supplies to be taken away, and then followed up with large and small bags.
Moreover, Kessel, a man of integrity, did not leave without saying goodbye like Princess Fang. Before evacuating, he specially summoned the frontline commander of the Mammoth Army and personally informed him of what his side had done.
resolution
In this summons, Kessel covered up all the changes that had occurred in the country. He attributed all the reasons for the withdrawal to "lack of benefits," "long time consuming," "insufficient food and grass," etc. He only talked about the kingdom's response to the war.
Already feeling tired;
Afterwards, no matter how much the Mammoth Lord tried to persuade him to stay, or how much he promised to provide further benefits and food, he firmly stated that ‘this is the final decision and cannot be changed’.
Therefore, under the very troubled sight of the Mammoth General, the army that had been organized and organized set off on its way back to the west.
However, not long after the Rhine Army withdrew, the Mammoth Legion returned in full under emergency orders from the country, and then, together with the rest of the army, launched the strictest liquidation and martial law in the country.
Thus, the Far Eastern War, which had been going on for many years, came to an end in a confused and silent manner, leaving only a ruins behind, a land soaked with blood and flames, and quietly changing
The political structure of the Far East, and the underground root system that has spread to the entire region.
Let’s first press the button on the Far East Federation and the Twin Kingdoms. Not to mention the various turmoils that happened in the Far East Federation and the Twin Kingdoms. For the Rhine people who have left early, the journey ahead and the misfortune that awaits them at the end are far from satisfactory.
Far beyond what I imagined at the moment.
Before leaving the Far East, everything was actually easy to say.
In the past, strong walls and clear fields effectively slowed down the progress of the invading army, and to a certain extent, also brought the war to its current dismal end;
But at this time, it also prevented the Federation itself from making any big waves here, in this land that had been burned to ashes.
Therefore, after encountering and destroying several unlucky 'blind' guerrillas, the Rhine Army successfully left the Far East and entered the buffer zone, and then experienced the blockage from nature.
Floods, swamps, mudslides, this place has become a veritable marsh country;
The military roads that cost millions of slaves and countless corpses have long disappeared, and the huge army that already needs to be divided to move forward must be divided even more to be able to barely make it.
.
Kessel looked at the remaining grain in his hand, and then at the extremely bad environment in front of him. At this moment, he felt an extremely headache. He did not think that his army could really get out of this land before starving to death.
In short, while gathering the food of the servant army and the slave army to ensure that the main force of the tribe can be used on the way, he also sent a large number of griffon teams to carry out reconnaissance missions in various directions.
Some of them set out to the west. They were not only responsible for exploring the accessible roads, but also to understand the living conditions of the deserter camps along the way. It is possible that part of the food would be used to slaughter and plunder the deserter camps.
The other part was sent to the north and south. The sudden withdrawal of the Seventeenth Princess made the King of Rhine have some associations, so he wanted to know about the situation in Fang's country. The reason why troops were sent to the north and south for reconnaissance was because he wanted to see his allies.
Can I 'borrow' some food there to deal with the emergency?
The group of griffons was not flying very slowly. Depending on the depth, replies came from three directions one after another.
First of all, the westbound reconnaissance group found a feasible road. Although their carrying capacity is not very good, they can still travel if they are divided into dozens of groups.
Secondly, the deserter camp did have food, but its security was also very tight. The reconnaissance team led by the core citizens broke into the camp, but a large part of the team consisting only of high-level griffin cavalry failed.
Thirdly, the Mammoth Kingdom is also suffering from severe drought;
Within its territory, there seems to be no established rebels further south, but there are already scenes of refugees and starving people everywhere. Although the area bordering the buffer zone is still relatively humid, some of the deserter camps here have been moved.
I went there, so I was yelled at at this time;
Finally, when the news from the Fang's domestic investigation also arrived one after another, a group of Rhine executives fell into deep thought in the paradoxical sense of déjà vu.
The extreme cold first invaded its northern territory, and then swept across the entire country all the way south. Not only did it kill a large number of livestock and freeze large areas of land, it also caused the tribes affiliated with the northern territory to migrate southward on a large scale;
But the situation in the south is not very good, it can even be said to be worse. Although when the cold wave passes through the central part and finally reaches the south, its power has been weakened a lot, allowing the south to retain part of its output capacity;
But this half-hearted situation of "barely producing food" led to even worse "man-made disasters" in the future. The forced conquests carried out by the main tribe and the plunder from the northern people were staged one after another, which made
The people of the South suffered from unrest;
The plundering of the Northern People was naturally a last resort after being jealous, but the former had a somewhat strange origin. It seemed that because Queen Fang was stabbed to death, princesses of all generations in the country started to fight for the throne on their own, which ultimately prompted them to
Continuous conscription and looting were carried out in various places;
Among them is the 17th Princess, the former commander-in-chief of the front line. She has occupied a large area of land and subjects in the East. At this time, she is busy fighting a civil war with the other sisters and aunts.
All in all, the reasons and even the subsequent development methods are different from the situation in the Rhine Kingdom, but the various forces in the country have indeed played tricks.
And everything happened too suddenly. Although there was no such thing as the so-called "True God Faith" in China, the King of the Rhine still instinctively smelled the smell of conspiracy.
This made Kessel even more eager to return to the country. He planned to use the most elite force to break through all the obstacles along the route and go to the country as quickly as possible to clean up the mess.
Therefore, after collecting almost all the remaining food in the army, the King of the Rhine took his main army of nearly 450,000 and set off first. The rest of the slave and servant armies were led by a small number of main soldiers and princesses.
Moving slowly.
Then, his plan did succeed. After eliminating the drag of slave soldiers and servant armies, the already extremely capable main army was able to move forward at a faster speed;
Along the way, he continuously sent out griffon legions to kill and plunder. On the one hand, he broke through the strange camps blocking the road and seized their food. Then, with the help of such supply replenishment methods, he finally arrived at the border east of the country.
's edge zone.
