Chapter 739: The Silver Shield Legion Is Absolutely Not There
Chapter 739 The Silver Shield Legion is definitely not there
Winter nights are very heavy.
Unlike previous cold winters, this year's winter is exceptionally warm, with bright sunshine during the day and no cold wind at night.
But the warm climate seems to make the atmosphere this winter extraordinarily intense.
The royal capital is in turmoil.
The king abandoned his royal heirs and the people of the royal capital and fled alone, and his whereabouts are still missing. This incident caused an atmosphere of anxiety to spread throughout the city-states in the Eastern Continent.
Most ordinary people don't know the reason yet, and those further away don't even know that the empire is in turmoil, but those famous nobles have already anticipated the inevitable war.
The disappearance of the lords' private soldiers left the major city-states with only the city defense armies under the consuls.
But the city defense army only numbered about 10,000 people.
The empire's armies are scattered in major military regions. If there is unrest, the city defense army can only temporarily stabilize the situation, and the real main force of the confrontation has to be mobilized from the military regions.
However, the turmoil in the royal capital.
There was no military suppression. Instead, all the troops from several major military districts around the royal capital were gathered into Fal City.
This resulted in several surrounding cities having no military strength.
…
late at night.
The city-state is brightly lit.
In the well-defended Archon's Castle.
A few people were discussing in the room under the dim light. There was a map on the table, and the standing flag was reflected by the surrounding firelight.
Some of them were wearing luxurious clothes, while others were wearing helmets and armor and looked fierce.
The topic of discussion was the turmoil in the royal capital.
While several people were arguing fiercely, there was a man with ash-blond hair sitting aside with his eyes closed and silent, which was incompatible with the intense atmosphere in the room.
"Stop arguing! You can go out first."
Suddenly, the person at the head of the long table made a deep voice, interrupting their chattering argument.
The man in fine clothes suddenly became anxious: "Your Excellency, if -"
"go out!"
The Duke in charge suddenly shouted loudly.
In an instant, everyone in the room was silent.
They looked at each other helplessly and left angrily, but the man with ash-blond hair sitting at the long table was indifferent.
Suddenly there were only two people left in the room.
The Duke who was in charge took a breath and said: "Your Majesty was laughed at. I never told them about this matter, so they mistakenly thought that you abandoned the royal family and fled without a fight."
Young man with ash-blond hair opens his eyes.
A smile appeared on his lips: "No, they are right. They are indeed fleeing without a fight."
Hearing this, the Duke looked even more helpless.
The military districts of the Eastern Continent are basically in the royal capital.
However, now all the troops from several major military regions have gathered in the city of Fal, which directly makes it difficult for other surrounding city-states to receive military support. This makes the ruling officials worry that they will not be able to resist when the Holy See army attacks.
Although the Franks city-state is not close to the royal capital.
It is also not part of the surrounding cities of the royal capital.
Even so, everyone was still worried that the Holy See Army would attack, and they were even more angry about Walder XVIII's behavior of fleeing, so they got into a quarrel.
But in fact, Duke Brown had already expected this, so he had already mobilized troops from other military regions in advance.
But this matter was not publicized.
Even his closest associates know little.
"Your Majesty, the Holy See Army is now gathering at Wellerburg, and I am afraid that they are already preparing to attack the city of Fal."
Duke Brown looked at the map on the table and said in a deep voice.
The man with ash-blond hair also focused his attention: "No, they won't. At most they will use harassment tactics on Fal City, but they will definitely not attack Fal City tonight."
Duke Brown was slightly startled by the other party's determined tone.
He raised his head and looked at the young man opposite.
As someone who had secretly taken care of Wald XVIII as he grew up, he was naturally familiar with his appearance when he was young. However, after the king had been in power for decades, he became increasingly unable to understand his temperament.
It is not even clear when His Majesty the King had the means to rejuvenate his youth.
Half a month ago, Walder XVIII suddenly found him and unknowingly decided on today's turmoil in the royal capital.
You can say from beginning to end.
Duke Brown is a little confused.
He still can't understand why the other party did this.
If you want to deal with the Holy See, there are many ways, but His Majesty the King has chosen such a radical and unreasonable way - directly giving up the dignity of the Saint Varo royal family.
After this battle.
Even if the Saint-Varo royal family can still control the empire, its foundation has been shaken.
"Your Majesty..." Duke Brown's lips moved.
"Uncle Brown, I don't have to sit in the position of king, but the Holy See of Light must be eradicated. I hope you can understand." Wald XVIII looked at him quickly.
This left Duke Brown speechless for a moment.
After successfully shutting up the other party.
Wald XVIII looked slightly satisfied.
He laughed and continued: "As expected, the Holy See will not launch an attack on Fal City tonight, but it should first occupy the three city-states, seize the geographical advantage, and then continue to wait for the arrival of the Silver Shield Legion."
Duke Brown's eyes moved slightly: "Two days ago, our spies discovered an army sneaking out from the city-state of Iraq. If the Silver Shield Legion has really surrendered to the Holy See, it may attack the royal capital from Fort Suwart."
"That's why I evacuated the royal capital."
King Wald XVIII smiled and said: "That is really not a good position for fighting, there is no terrain advantage at all."
Duke Brown felt helpless after hearing this.
But if the coronation ceremony had not taken the initiative to introduce the Holy See Army into the royal capital, the one hundred thousand Holy See Army alone would not have been able to break through the blockades of several major military districts.
So how is it possible that there is still a chance to enter the royal capital?
"but……"
Suddenly, Walder XVIII changed the topic.
He reached out and picked up a small flag and inserted it somewhere on the map on the table, his blue eyes flashing with a sharp dark light.
"The Silver Shield Legion will not attack from Fort Suvart." He said firmly.
"How can it be?"
Duke Brown was stunned. He looked down at the map and saw the small flag inserted in the airspace of several city-states in the Eastern Continent.
The locations of the nearby city-states are equal to those of the Franks, and are not far or close to the king.
King Wald XVIII stood up from his seat, stared at the map cable and said: "The other party would not be so stupid to find out so easily."
"But……"
"Knock knock knock!"
Duke Brown was about to speak when a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside. He paused and waved towards the door.
Then, an officer opened the door and came in.
The officer's face looked a little anxious and shocked: "Your Excellency, the spies brought news that Fort Suwart was captured by a mysterious army half an hour ago!"
After discovering the anomaly in the city-state of Iraks two days ago, Duke Brown sent spies to sneak into Fort Suvart.
After he learned about the changes in the Far North Mountains.
He also doubted whether the Silver Shield Legion had rebelled.
It happened that at this time, the city-state of Irakis was inexplicably heavily guarded. After Duke Brown analyzed it, he felt that the Silver Shield Legion would sneak into the Eastern Continent from Fort Suwart.
However, Walder XVIII did not care about this.
Therefore, in the end, no troops from the military region were deployed to garrison, but only a city defense force was mobilized from the city-state for prevention.
All military forces were gathered in Phare City according to the original plan.
At this moment.
After listening to the officer's report, Duke Brown waved him away, and then looked at Wald XVIII silently.
Didn't it mean that the Silver Shields weren't there?
