In the year 832 of the Julian calendar, the Almohad Empire fell into unprecedented turmoil.
For a long time, the serfs headed by Willis have been living under the care of the noble landowners who are full of fatherly love.
For example, I am afraid that they will be too full and have poor gastrointestinal digestion, so I often give them some whole grains to make them half full.
I am afraid that if they lack exercise, they will suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular sclerosis, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and other diseases, so they are asked to get up and exercise before dawn every day.
I was afraid that if they slept too well, they would lack the spirit of hardship and simplicity, so I built a kennel with good ventilation, strong air permeability, and full of local flavor. It was more frugal than my own kennel to promote their enterprising spirit.
Thatched hut.
Moreover, they were afraid that they had too few recreational activities, and that the aristocrats and landowners who loved them like loving fathers would often use whips to massage their naughty children to the point of killing them.
Afraid that the water they use to bathe in sex is too hot and scalds their skin, they deliberately use the cold water in the dungeon... and so on, such a warm life full of infinite warmth, slavery and a happy family
But Willis, a vicious bandit, a despicable murderer, and a damned corpse-snatcher...has no sense of good or evil at all.
Taking advantage of the empire's newly promulgated sacred and inviolable 'right of first night', such a law that was so painstakingly thought out for their benefit and improved their overall personal quality level encouraged the serfs who had been living in happiness.
He rebelled with him.
However, due to the carelessness of the lower-level officials of the empire and the malicious connivance of a rare traitor who had sneaked into the empire, the best opportunity for annihilation was missed.
The southern part of the empire was now in a state of turmoil.
At the same time, in order to vent his anger on his lover's son, Despey, who was also his lover, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire removed him from Maple Leaf Danlin's group of irrational, unreasonable, and extremely cruel people.
Delivered from the hands of the wicked.
He was extremely wise and set the precedent for fighting on two fronts. Regardless of the tightness of the southern front, he mobilized the army to attack the tyrannosaurus nest in Maple Leaf Danlin~!
The 70,000 elite troops and nearly a hundred imperial warships were destroyed in the midst of chatting and laughing. In the end, only old Despey, one man and one ship, fled back in a hurry.
Maple Leaf Danlin, who was determined to take revenge, immediately formed a legion, stared with blood-red eyes, and went on an expedition across the sea.
Under this situation, the empire was about to be in chaos and almost collapse. At this moment, the governors of the south and the deputy commander-in-chief of the empire, General Hadou, bravely stood up and stepped forward.
He shouldered his due responsibilities for this empire.
In the private words of General Hadou himself: "It's time to let that damn old rabbit know how powerful he is. Otherwise, he really thinks he is the illegitimate son of the gods~!"
Although he didn't say clearly who the old rabbit was, everyone knew who he was referring to.
Lagree smiled softly after hearing General Wabador's aggressive questioning.
He looked around at the people sitting there and said loudly: "I am here this time to conclude a peace agreement with you with infinite sincerity."
As the main militant faction, Great Mage Lester wanted to make things bigger. Therefore, he sneered and said: "Peace? A peace agreement? Please understand, okay? You are not even the emperor's special envoy.
He is just an envoy of generals and governors, what qualifications does he have to negotiate a peace agreement with us?"
Lagre smiled and ignored him, looking directly at Lorraine. As if he knew his important role in everyone's hearts, he continued: "Gentlemen, you have been having a headache these days about the army in the south, right?"
Lester said: "What's the point? We have already driven them away once. If we send a cavalry regiment later, we can easily drive them away again."
Lagre looked at him and said seriously: "Yes, you said it too. You can drive them away, but you cannot annihilate them. Once we draw a large number of legions from the south, can you drive them away again?
"
Lester hesitated for a moment, but then his body shook and he showed off the heroic appearance of an old gangster.
He slapped the table and said forcefully: "So what? Do you think we can't defeat you with that?"
Lagree refused to give in, took a step forward, and asked: "What if we add the command of General Hadou? Are you still sure of victory?"
Lester snorted coldly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "We can give it a try when the time comes~!"
Lagree smiled, then took half a step back and said: "No matter what, even if you can win, there will be heavy losses by then, right?"
Lester was speechless for a moment.
General Wabador and Lorraine looked at each other, and then said: "Just say it. What do you want?"
Lagre turned around, looked at everyone, and said quickly: "It's very simple. You can attack the capital of the empire, and we will not interfere. But you are absolutely not allowed to enter the southern area. You are not allowed to secretly attack Willy.
to provide support to Sri Lanka’s rebels.”
Everyone was shocked after hearing what he said. The hall fell silent for a moment, so quiet that you could hear the sound of a pin dropping. The guards patrolling the street outside walked in goose steps and clicked as they walked by.
The sound came in, giving the hall an unreal feeling.
Everyone was quietly digesting the news they had just heard. They all thought in their hearts: They are really bold enough to dare to betray their own empire~!
This is a serious crime no matter which place or country it is in~!
As an imperial official, you can take bribes and bend the law, give and take bribes, become corrupt, have mistresses and mistresses... You can even be passive and sabotage, and you can harm the country for personal gain.
Because these are all trivial matters. The officialdom of the empire has never put these "trivial matters" into the category of official morality; however, since ancient times, betraying the country, betraying the emperor, or even betraying him directly is absolutely unacceptable.
allowed.
For those who do this job, usually they will either be beheaded by the emperor, or they will use His Majesty's management buyout and become Taizu, Taizong or something like that.
Although Leo is young, as the future successor of the empire, he has been sitting on the side of the ruler since he was born. He is also extremely disgusted with these things, and he immediately feels the same hatred.
He jumped up, pointed at the man's nose, and shouted loudly: "Okay. No wonder I think you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, but you don't look like a good person. I just thought you were here to cheat money. I didn't expect it."
How dare you betray the country~!"
"No." Lagre looked at him and corrected him gently: "Your Highness Leo, on the contrary. We are protecting this country by doing this. It is only the emperor who is betrayed. That's all."
Leo was stunned and said: "This...this...isn't this the same?"
Lagre said: "When the emperor is right, we are loyal to the emperor. When the emperor makes mistakes, we are loyal to the imperial power~!"
Leo has learned a lot under Catherine's training these days.
I know that in a company, for an incompetent person, the boss who pays him a salary will follow him as soon as the boss gets out.
But for a capable person, it is the company that pays him wages. Even if the boss gets out, they can still continue to receive their wages.
So when the general manager of a company does something wrong and harms the interests of the company, of course the shareholders and employees will kick the CEO away mercilessly.
At that moment, he smacked his tongue twice. Although he didn't feel the taste, he knew that what he said was reasonable. Then he crawled to the side in frustration.
As he walked back dejectedly, he complained in a low voice: "Oh~! It seems that it is not easy to be the emperor. From time to time, someone comes out and wants to mess with you. So there is no one who I can trust.
It still doesn’t work~!”
Lorraine glanced at him and thought to herself: You can take advantage of it~! He usually behaves wildly, no matter how hard he goes, no one cares. In another era, people would have kicked him out.
I remember that when classmate Clinton Xiaoke was discussing ideological work with her mistress, she went a little too far and was almost kicked out. To this day, she still lives with her tail between her legs and cannot hold her head up in front of her wife.
Lagree looked at General Valador with a smile and said, "Do we make a deal?"
General Valador burst out laughing and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? Just because of your words, do I believe it?"
Lagree was stunned and said in astonishment: "Then what do you want?"
Lorraine sighed next to him, and then complained: "I said, old man, although I want to help you, I have to say that this is your fault. Although we also want to believe you, you just act like this
Said, and then took out a few documents to convince us, which makes it very difficult for me to do."
Lagre said: "Then..."
Lorraine said with a sincere expression: "You see, although we also want to believe it, but when we turn around and move forward, you have torn up the agreement and sent troops to attack. Block both ends. We will be trapped.
It’s time for dumplings.”
Lagree said with enlightenment: "You guys want to..."
Lorraine smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing else. That is to say, do you think we can invite some heavyweights to come to our place as guests? If you can invite General Hadou, that would be the best."
But that’s it. I have always admired this general and very much hope to have the opportunity to receive personal guidance from him.”
Lagre glanced at Lorraine, then smiled knowingly and said: "Oh~~, hahaha, I understand, I understand."
But I was cursing secretly in my heart, this damn hypocrite~! It is indeed as General Hadou said, this damn fox is really not simple, and must not be underestimated.
He played haha twice, and then said: "I think General Hadou will also be happy to communicate with you..."
Catherine was immediately overjoyed and said: "Then what are you waiting for..."
Lagre looked at the young girl with gray eyes, and immediately remembered her information in his mind - the great enemy of Almohad, the daughter of the Julian Grand Duke of the Rumain Empire, Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shuddered, and hurriedly interrupted her, saying: "But~! But he is busy with many things now and has been busy with military affairs. But I think his son may have time to come here to visit.
.”
Catherine couldn't help but sigh in disappointment and said: "Really, what? It makes people happy in vain."
As he spoke, he sat back down again.
Lagre secretly wiped the cold sweat on his head, then turned to look at General Wabador, and continued: "Not only General Hadou's son, but also the children of provincial governors and close personnel will also come to Maple Leaf.
Dan Lin went to visit and study. What do you think?"
General Wabador frowned after hearing such generous terms and said cautiously: "Then what kind of guarantee do you want us to provide?"
Lagre smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Excellency. We have no other requirements. We only need the personal guarantee from you, General, and Grand Mage Lester. Because we fully believe in you, the Grand Mage, and Maple Leaf Danlin."
credibility. In addition, we also believe in our own strength. The latter is equally important as your guarantee."
After saying that, he bowed again and waited quietly for their reply.
General Wabador and Lester looked at each other, then stretched out their hands, shook Lagre's hand, and said: "Deal~!"
A few days later, the crusade obtained hostages and was relieved of its worries - the Almohad Army in the south retreated three hundred miles without a word on the day they reached an agreement.
Under this situation, the Expeditionary Force General Headquarters immediately announced that the rest was complete and began to launch an attack~!
They loaded the collected supplies onto the ship.
The battleships and transport ships all raised their sails, and the sailors rowed their huge oars.
The fleet turned from Haikou into the inland river one by one.
The huge Maple Leaf Danlin crusade army went up the river, and the warships sailed in the middle line of the river, guarding the transport ships on the inside.
The cavalry and infantry marched on the east bank of the river, always keeping in line with the transport ships. They responded to each other from a distance and took every precaution.
General Wabdor set up the headquarters of the crusade on the main battleship of the Ruman Empire, the ‘Wrath of God Zhuosen’s Thunderfire’.
The generals, mages, and priests all stayed comfortably on the boat, looking at the unique customs of the Almohad Empire while pointing at the large infantrymen marching on the river bank.
The Shari River, the artery of the Almohad Empire, originates from the rainforest in the southernmost part of the Almohad Empire. The mighty river flows all the way north, passing through several of the most important cities in the Almohad Empire, including Almohad
Its capital, Abdelwad, finally empties into the Madidum Sea outside the city of Hafs.
The huge fleet of the crusade army was prepared for the Shari River. In addition to the personnel and warships left behind in Hafs, the crusade army loaded supplies on the ships, and the cavalry and infantry regiments marched along the river bank to attack Abdwad
city.
The advantage of this is that the march speed is fast and the logistics materials can be replenished quickly. The disadvantage is that the location of the expeditionary army is clear, and the Almohads can clearly know where they are.
But now that the local governors have expressed their attitude and agreed that the old rabbit should be taught a lesson, the mission of the crusade has become much easier.
Lorraine had estimated based on the intelligence obtained from various places that based on the marching speed and route of the crusade, the crusade would probably need to fight the Almohads two or three more times when they arrived at Abdelwad City.
.
However, with the ability of the crusade to rely on ships to transport supplies on the Sali River, Maple Leaf Danlin's powerful team of mages and priests, and Lester's vindictive maniac who was determined to make Emperor Almohad regret being born into this world,
The conquering army is confident.
Except for the war against the demons a thousand years ago, until now, no one has ever assembled such a large team of mages and priests, and there has never been a magician with the title of Forbidden Magic Mage who has been at the forefront of the battlefield.
Wire.
Winter is the dry season of the Shali River, and the water flow is gentle. However, relying on the sand and abundant water, the river is still wide, and more than a hundred ships of the expeditionary army can gather together easily.
The river was clean. Except for the team of the expeditionary army, not a single sampan could be seen. Lorraine and the others had passed several small villages and towns along the river. They all looked depressed and dilapidated, with simple thatched huts and no clothes.
The old man Almohad, whose body was shivering in the cold wind, looked at the advancing army in horror with his cloudy eyes.
All the young people here have fled. They are not afraid of the crusade, but simply afraid of the army, whether it is Almohad's or Maple Leaf Danlin's.
At first, there were soldiers from the crusade army who ran into the small villages with great interest. After passing a few more villages, the soldiers from the crusade army also lost interest. Not only did they have nothing to grab, but they also looked disgusted.
I wish I could give them some.
After several days of marching, another Almohad city appeared in front of the crusade.
Lorraine pointed to the map in front of him and said: "Weibos is just a small city. According to the intelligence, it only has a few hundred garrison troops. They are all old and weak soldiers. The location itself is not dangerous, and there are no passes around it.
The scout reported that Vibos looks normal, I will take people to have a look, and we can skip this location if not necessary."
General Wabdor nodded and said: "I'd rather you go and look at it carefully. Although we have an agreement with those governors, the agreement itself is meant to be torn up. I can't trust them from beginning to end.
"
Luo Linna said: "I will take a few mages to go with you. Staying on the boat has made your bones weak."
Soon, Lorraine ordered two thousand cavalry and rushed towards Vibos along the simple road.
The banks of the river are covered with withered yellow reeds, and large black birds are constantly flying and landing. On a clear winter day, the entire area can be seen at a glance.
Behind Lorraine was the dark shadow of the ships of the crusade, and in front of him was the dim shadow of the city of Vibos.
