Entering February, the temperature in Bywest has warmed up slightly, especially in the southern region, and signs of spring have begun to appear in some places. [./First text
Crunch…
A somewhat unpleasant sound sounded, and at the source of the sound in the distance, a long string of black blurry objects appeared.
This is a small town in the southern area of Bywest. This town was originally under the jurisdiction of the Lancelot family. However, after the sudden death of the second prince at the end of last year, the once-prominent Lancelot family instantly fell into disrepair.
It collapsed. A huge super aristocracy was divided up in the blink of an eye. I have to lament that current events have played a trick on people. Now this town lies at the junction of the north and the south. To be precise, it should be between the northern Dragon City and the southern region.
In the middle.
As a basically worthless town, this place called Edwint ushered in an unknown army at this time.
There are about hundreds of armed forces in the town. However, they are all security teams organized voluntarily by local farmers and businessmen. Since the place is unsafe and has no use value, the upstart Phillips family in the south did not capture it.
This place. After the decline of the Lancelot family, this place became a land of no one. Fortunately, the general security of Byvost is still good, at least there is no large-scale banditry.
However, in order to protect themselves and take precautions, the people of Edwint still gathered together and established their own armed forces. The folk customs of Bywister are strong, so the town of Edwint has been relatively peaceful in the past few months.
of.
Unfortunately, this tranquility was broken today.
There is a fence and wooden wall surrounded by wood on the outside of the town. Since there is no thick and tall city wall, this wooden wall has become Edwint's only support.
The mayor of the town is elected by the local noble families and gentry. His name is Mobia; Lukes. The fifty-seven-year-old Mobia is a veteran who has participated in several wars in his thirties.
.And his Lukes family is a well-known local family, and the old Lukes is a kind-hearted person, so he was recommended by everyone to become the mayor.
The shrill bells rang in the town, which meant that an enemy appeared. Mobiya Lux hurriedly came to the wooden platform. This wooden platform was specially used to observe the situation outside the town.
Mobia; Lukes built this observation tower after he became the mayor of the town. This observation tower can allow the town to detect some situations in advance. These are all derived from the old Lukes' experience as a soldier.
Arriving at the observation deck, Old Mobia Lux's face suddenly became heavy.
Looking around, countless troops are heading this way.
It’s the north, it’s Dragon City!
Mobia; Lukes sighed in his heart, what was supposed to come has finally come.
Looking back at the nervous villagers below, Mobia Lux shook his head. These decent-looking security teams might be able to fend off the roving soldiers, but in the face of the wolf-like dragon,
Some of the city troops are arrogant.
"I hope they won't make things difficult for us." Mobia only has this wish in his heart. Little Edwint will never be able to stop the dragon city army rolling in, and the opponent may not even need to take a look.
.
In a war, any situation may happen. Small towns like Edwint are sad because they don't know when disaster will befall them. Military chaos is more violent than bandit chaos. This sentence
It's not unreasonable, because war can make people crazy, and God knows if those tough northern tiger and wolf warriors will destroy this small town if they don't like it.
However, they had no room for resistance. Old Lukes ordered people to open the gate of the town, and all the security teams gathered their weapons and piled them in a very conspicuous place. Then they hid all the women and children in the town, and at the same time
Let the wealthy families in the town contribute their treasures as much as possible, hoping that this will satisfy the Northern Dragon City army and not make things difficult for them.
Before these things were done, a small group of cavalry was seen roaring towards them.
Although there were only a few riders in black clothes and armor, the power they brought with them still made everyone's faces turn pale.
After a while, the cavalry arrived outside the town of Edwint.
"Who is in charge here?" A cavalryman came out first, and a few of them stayed outside the town and asked loudly towards the open town gate.
Old Mobia stood up immediately. He bowed down somewhat humbly and answered cautiously: "Sir, the younger one is the mayor of Edwint, Mobia; Baron Lukes."
Yes, old Mobia has a title. Although he is only the lowest baron, he is a legal noble of the empire. Unfortunately, his title has no effect at all now. Even he himself understands that today's dragon
The momentum of the city is directed towards the world. Although he still doesn't know that Longcheng has actually captured the imperial capital, and the eldest prince has been defeated and died. But this does not prevent him from recognizing the facts. Take the cavalry in front of him as an example.
Bar.
From Mobia's point of view, these people are definitely ruthless characters. Standing in front of them, what comes oncoming is the murderous aura. It is absolutely impossible for a rookie who has never seen blood to have such murderous aura. He secretly looks at it from the corner of his eyes.
, Mobia saw some clues.
The tall war horse is much taller than ordinary horses. The smooth muscle outline shows the extraordinary nature of the war horse. Good horse! Good horse!
The cavalry wears this dark composite armor. Mobia can't tell the quality of these armors, but just looking at the workmanship of the armor is enough to make people admire. Although the saber on his waist is not unsheathed, it is still visible from the sword.
Judging from the curvature of the sheath, it is definitely a murder weapon!
After a few glances, Old Mobia was convinced. Everyone said that the soldiers in Dragon City were strong, but it was difficult for Old Mobia, who had served as a soldier, to get an idea from just a few words of description, but now he looked at it.
The cavalry, old Mobia was convinced, maybe the Phantom Knights of the Lancelot family's prominent empire were nothing more than this.
"Are you the mayor?" the cavalry leader asked.
Old Mobia immediately lowered his head and pressed his body lower, "Yes, sir, I am the mayor of this place. I wonder what your honor is, Sir Knight?"
Although Old Mobia knew that Edwinter's fate was decided, he still held on to a little hope that the other party would just pass by.
Unfortunately, Old Mobia was destined to be disappointed. He only heard the cavalry say: "Very good, since you are the mayor of this place, immediately order all armed forces in the town to put down their weapons. From now on, Ed
Winter Town will be under the jurisdiction of Dragon City."
Old Mobia's face was full of bitterness. It seemed that Edwint still couldn't escape his fate. "Yes, sir, I will do it now!"
Old Mobia turned around, and just as he turned around, the cavalryman spoke again: "Also, ask someone to clear an open space in the town."
Open space? Old Mobia was shocked. He didn't dare to think too much, so he could only do what Long Cheng said. Time is also fate.
The army arrived here quickly. Because there were more large-scale equipment this time, there were quite a lot of vehicles in the army. Although the official road in Byvost was relatively smooth, the road conditions were worse than the stone roads in Dragon City.
It's far behind. So much so that the speed of the army is quite slow. There's nothing we can do about it. The southern region is open and the land is fertile, so that the towns on this land are complex and numerous. Compared with the open space in the north,
For example, the South will be many times more prosperous.
Because of this, Xu Sheng's main force in the southern theater cannot attack as quickly as in the northern theater. Because there are so many towns, the army carries a large number of engineering equipment and large-scale long-range equipment to deal with the high cities and thick walls almost everywhere in the south.
.
It has been four days since the army issued the certificate. In the past four days, their speed has been quite slow. Now they have finally arrived at the first foothold. Edwint's status is quite complicated. It can almost be regarded as the outpost of the entire southern region.
In other words, this place will become the fulcrum for Xu Sheng and even the southern war zone to move south. Therefore, although this small town is inconspicuous now, its position in the entire southern front campaign is quite important.
It took no effort to capture Edwint. This place was originally an abandoned town, and the guard strength was dispensable. Edwint's knowledge also saved them from bad luck. You know, since the war in Zhang Liao and the Northern War Zone
After a great victory, the entire southern theater was holding its breath. If old Mobia was dizzy, then Xu Sheng wouldn't mind using a crushing battle to vent the energy in the hearts of the troops in the southern theater.
The army successfully entered Edwint. Of course, a considerable part of the troops stayed outside the town. After all, this small town could not accommodate so many troops. As for Xu Sheng, he entered the town with his Southern Theater Command.
, a temporary headquarters was quickly established on the clearing cleared by Old Mobia.
Compared to the people in Edwin who were frightened, Old Mobia was in a much better mood now. At least the other party did not show any behavior to embarrass the people, which allowed him, the mayor, to breathe a sigh of relief. But next,
The Dragon City army notified Old Mobia to gather the women in the town, which made Old Mobia's expression change again.
Could it be that Edwint really couldn't escape his bad luck? Old Mobia's heart was full of bitterness. If he had known now, why would he have stayed here in the first place? Thinking of the tragic scene that Edwinte was about to encounter, Old Mobia trembled all over.
After a long time, as if his strength had been drained, he walked towards the restless people step by step with heavy steps.
When they learned that Dragon City had requested to gather women in the town, the entire Edwint was immersed in sadness. Many excited people even wanted to resist, but when they thought of the hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside the town,
They felt a darkness.
"What's going on?" Xu Sheng asked the staff officer beside him a little strangely, because he was interrupted by the noise and crying outside while looking at the map. Could it be that the soldiers of Longcheng did something to the people? Thinking of this,
Xu Sheng's face suddenly darkened. Under the guidance of Zhou Yunfei, Longcheng abandoned the laxity and bad habits of the ancient army. In particular, it put forward several very strict requirements for the army, and even more strict requirements for soldiers and bandits to travel together.
He hated it deeply. Before this expedition, Zhou Yunfei warned all the troops very sternly not to do any harm to the people along the way. You must know that they will all be his subjects from now on.
Moreover, Xu Sheng is known for his strict self-discipline, and his troops are even more strict in military law. How can Xu Sheng not be angry with the sounds outside now?
"Go and see what happened! Notify the military police of the Military Justice Department and ask them to immediately intervene in the investigation!" Xu Sheng's order made the staff immediately run out of the tent. It was obvious that Xu Sheng was in a very bad mood now.
