Summer mornings always come very early. It’s only five o’clock in the morning, and there is already a faint light in the sky. The heat has not yet come, and the weather is cool and pleasant. Compared with the cold and long winter nights, people always like to
On a morning like this, get up early and go out.
Before six o'clock, the city of Munich had already become lively. Soldiers on the city walls were patrolling back and forth. Civil servants in the army were shouting slogans and carrying supplies. People lined up in front of the low houses beside the wall.
The steaming breakfast stall has freshly baked bread, pancakes that the Yankees love to eat, and broth with floating oil. With only twenty copper sani, no matter whether you are a hard-working civilian or a burly mercenary man, you can enjoy it.
You can eat it until your waist is round and your belly is round.
Gentlemen wearing ruff collars and high hats were walking along the streets in twos and threes, with beautiful carriages slowly following behind them, always obeying the owner's call. Ladies and ladies in beautiful dresses were wandering around every house.
The cloth stores and clothing stores that had just launched new goods last night were buzzing and noisy.
This kind of weather is not bad for the refugees living in shacks on the streets. The men go out to look for jobs early in the morning to see if they can get lucky and be picked up by a wealthy employer. It only takes one day to work
If he lives, he can bring back a large piece of black bread and a small piece of meat for his wife and children.
The women were busy taking care of the elderly and children. The little food left last night was given to the men who had to work. The extra bit was taken care of the elderly and children, so they had to go hungry. Fortunately, the weather was not cold, so it was not cold yet.
It's pretty tough. It's not like winter, where you'll be shivering with cold as long as you don't eat.
Looking at the calendar, it is already May 5th.
Logically speaking, today is the traditional Lulian net-casting festival. Every year at this time, thousands of sails gather in coastal ports. Every fishing boat will be repainted, hung with a mermaid statue on its bow, and raised its brocade sails. During sacrifices and prayers
Afterwards, head to the sea to catch golden salmon.
At the end of the day's fishing, various awards among fishing boats of the same level will be selected. The noble lords present awards to the best and luckiest fishermen, and people sing, dance, and party all night long until dawn.
But now, the net-throwing festival is just a broken bubble. Almost all the coastal ports have fallen into the hands of the Feili people. The land south of Meiding City is scorched and devastated. To the north of Meiding City, people are also living in panic. Where is it?
What else are you thinking about celebrating the Net-Throwing Festival?
However, Munich is extremely lively today.
Some time ago, the Munich City Guards led by General Fano rushed to the front line. They fought several small-scale but fruitful battles, which severely dampened the arrogance of Feilei.
With the Red Leaf Knights on the left and the Twelfth Legion on the right gaining a firm foothold, the situation north of Meiding City seems to have stabilized a lot. The wave of refugees pouring out of the north gate like a carp across the river in the past few days has already
It was much less than usual. Many people had postponed their escape plans, and many caravans from neighboring provinces also took the risk.
Everyone gathers under Ignorant Hall's battle report announcement every day. There is a lot of discussion. The morale is high and they hope that General Fano will win a big victory and completely stabilize the situation in Munich.
Today is the day when General Fano's rear army sets off for the expedition. The army has already assembled in Blackstone Town, thirty kilometers south of Munich, just because it is necessary to establish transportation channels from Munich to several territories along the front line, and to increase the number of troops.
Due to the lack of logistical supplies and transport convoys, he did not arrive at the front line with Fano.
But now, the supply line has been established. The lords along the way have actively cooperated. The army has wiped out the bandit groups entrenched nearby, and has also deployed a defense line in the southeast, setting up beacon towers stretching for hundreds of kilometers to prevent the Phillies from coming from there.
The people from Bianshan District circled in and launched a sneak attack.
After completing this, all we have to do is wait for the supplies to be completed and the rear army to set off!
When they arrive at the front line, General Fano will have a lot more troops. Coupled with the cooperation of the Red Leaf Knights and the Twelfth Legion, who says Lulian will definitely fall? Maybe there will be a fight with the Feili people.
A decisive battle to drive the Feili people out of Lulian!
Everyone thinks so and looks forward to it. Today, no matter how long they can stay at home, they set off for the South Gate Camp early.
The rear army is far away in Blackstone Town, but the ceremony for dispatching troops is at the camp in the south of the city.
While walking on the road, everyone was talking about it.
The Lulian Knight Honor Guard will definitely appear. That's right! Moreover, they will definitely be the first in line as usual.
The honor guard is the most beautiful team of knights in Lulian, and you will never get tired of seeing it no matter how many times you see it.
The people selected here are all the most handsome and upright young men, about average height, wearing black and red uniforms, wearing high hats, with long swords on their waists, riding fat Friesians
The horses, with their unique high-stepping steps, lined up and walked down the street...tsk tsk...
Apart from anything else, how many of those ladies and ladies didn’t scream and faint?
After the honor guard, there is the bugle squad.
The tuba carried by three people was eight meters long. It was thick at the front and thin at the back, and sparkled with gold. The trumpeter walked at the back, puffing up his cheeks and blowing hard. More than thirty trombones sounded at the same time, and the sound could be heard several times.
Ten miles away! All the pigeons in the city, the birds in the woods outside the city, and the skylarks in the clouds were all frightened and flew around. The scene was extremely spectacular.
After the bugle corps, there is the gong and drum corps and the majestic flag corps.
The guys in the gong and drum troupe are all a bunch of big and fat guys, playing the drums as hard as they can. Every time they try to suppress the sound of the trumpet troupe, they always lose to others. But the snare drum at the back is exciting.
The beat of the drums echoed with the sound of the knight's hooves behind, making people's blood boil with excitement the more they listened to it.
The majestic flag team is also beautiful. Dozens of red flags larger than a house are waving in the air and rolling in the wind, like fire. The fire bee emblem of the Lullian family has been flying in this land for hundreds of years.
He will not fall behind again. Archduke Adolf will definitely come back alive.
In addition, students from three major training camps will also appear.
These young and energetic knights have been placed with high expectations from the day they entered the camp. Everyone in Munich is their fan and cherishes the star students among them. Although everyone knows
In terms of strength, these young people are still far behind the knights who have actually been on the battlefield. But I don’t know why, everyone has special expectations for them.
Everyone believes that once they set foot on the battlefield, many heroes will emerge among these young people. Maybe they are wise generals who strategize, maybe they are warriors who can defeat a hundred warriors, or maybe they go deep behind enemy lines to kill generals and capture the flag.
Heroes. Their future has infinite possibilities, but now, they only need a chance.
It's not even half past six. The square outside the main gate of South Gate Camp is already crowded with people. At a glance, there are densely packed heads of people.
People were talking about it while looking at the closed camp gate.
The residents who had not had breakfast greeted the vendors in the crowd; those who met acquaintances greeted them warmly and exchanged greetings. The attics and roofs of the surrounding houses were also full of people. Some naughty boys,
He even climbed onto the roof of a noble's carriage on the roadside.
Seeing a dirty boy sneaking into the crowd being chased by a coachman, causing a burst of yelling from the people, Royal Historian Alvin smiled slightly and turned around to look around.
The place where Alvin is located is a huge square terrace in the South Gate Square facing the military camp gate.
The terrace belongs to a famous hotel called "Hera".
The entire hotel is a square "back"-shaped building, three stories high, and the entire hotel is built of white stone. The exquisite sculptures, huge stone pillars, tall spiers at the four corners and the magnificent rooms inside all clearly indicate that it is literary and artistic.
Renaissance classical style.
This has always been a gathering place for the nobility of Munich. Many noble lords from out of town will choose to stay here. And with their arrival, local celebrities and gentlemen will also come to visit. The hotel
Business is naturally good. Every day there is a lot of traffic and excitement.
However, after the war broke out, the Hera Hotel's business plummeted. After all, luxurious enjoyment is not as important as life. All the rich people who could leave have already left. In fact, even the boss behind the hotel,
He has not been seen for a long time. It is said that he has gone to the imperial capital.
But in the past few days, Hera Hotel has returned to its former bustle and bustle. Almost every room has been booked. The carriages traveling between the Sky Demon Ship Tower and the hotel hardly have any time to rest.
Guests with mysterious and distinguished identities gathered here one after another as if they had made an appointment.
Although it is difficult for civilians to know the identities of these guests who are riding in unmarked carriages and staying at the hotel. However, for the well-informed nobles, this is not a secret.
Alvin is also one of them.
As a royal historian, Alvin is affiliated with the House of Arms, and his job is to observe and record important events happening in the empire as a bystander.
There are two hundred historians like him in the Heraldry Academy. Each of them has received long-term and rigorous professional training. Not only does he have a pair of sharp eyes, but also, each of them has academic attainments comparable to a bachelor's degree and has a wide range of knowledge.
.Especially in heraldry, he is extremely proficient.
For hundreds of years, generations of historians have used their eyes and pens to witness and record every thrilling whirlpool in the history of the empire. Whether it is major battles, changes in the political situation, attacks by lords, or the inheritance, birth, old age, illness, and death of princes and nobles, they are all responsible for it.
The recorded object.
Alvin came to Lullian four days ago by the Sky Magic Ship.
In fact, Alvin was somewhat reluctant to make this trip south.
From the perspective of a historian, Lulian can now be swept into the history pile. Archduke Adolf is deeply surrounded, and Lulian has actually lost the ability to continue to resist. Moreover, the Dragon Gate defense line in the east has been lost, and Philip's north and south
It is only a matter of time before we advance and capture Lulian.
This is a historical process that does not need to be witnessed at all. No one can stop the torrent, so who will pay attention to a few small fish in the torrent?
As a historian, Alvin is more willing to see a huge turning point, and is more willing to stand at the crossroads of destiny to record a great historical episode that will be remembered, curious, and emotional by future generations. Instead of traveling a long distance to come here
In the remote southern province, I wrote a text similar to the battle report in the future.
If he could follow his own wishes, Alvin would prefer to stay in the Imperial Capital.
Lulian is just one of a series of dominoes in the political situation of the St. Solan Empire. When this domino falls, it will trigger an even greater tsunami. The royal family, the Holy See, the political cabinet headed by Donald, and the nobles headed by the four major families are all here.
Working secretly. As a historian, if I couldn't be there during the sudden changes in the already turbulent imperial capital, I'm afraid I would regret it for the rest of my life.
However, the task was assigned by the Great Historian. There was no room for shirk. Alvin simply packed a few clothes and hurriedly took the Sky Demon Ship to Lulian.
Originally, Alvin just wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible and then rush back to the imperial capital. However, as soon as he arrived here, he discovered some unusual signs with the keen intuition of a historian. For example, at this moment...
Alvin turned to look and saw that the terrace was already full of dignitaries in gorgeous clothes.
The huge platform of Hera Hotel has the best location and view of the South Gate Square. Therefore, since its completion, it has naturally become an exclusive stand for nobles to watch various ceremonies, competitions and festival celebrations.
This time, it was the same as usual.
Early in the morning, more than two hundred Munich police officers took control of the square. At least tens of thousands of civilians gathered in the square, and it was crowded everywhere. But no matter how crowded and turbulent the crowd was, no one came near the terrace of the Hera Hotel.
.All civilians knew how to keep a distance of more than one meter from the police officers on the terrace.
As the carriages arrived, the number of nobles on the terrace gradually increased.
Their bright clothes, well-maintained skin and elegant demeanor formed a sharp contrast with the noisy and noisy civilians wearing shabby linen clothes, covered in mud and around the terrace. A few of them were particularly eye-catching.
On the left side of the terrace, there were three women standing in white robes with green trim.
That was the envoy of the Holy Lady Temple. The leading female envoy was probably in her forties, and her robe was embroidered with three white hell flowers. Among the flowers, the emblem of the goddess holding a snake-jointed staff was clear and eye-catching. Obviously, this
She is a third-level female envoy of the Saintess Temple. Her status is respected.
Secondly, not far behind him, there were several men whispering.
Judging from the embroidered marks on the cloaks that were accidentally exposed when the guards around these nobles were walking, Alvin suddenly discovered that these people were actually members of the four major families.
On the right side of the terrace, an old nobleman in his fifties looked solemn. He stared at the gate of the military camp and tapped his fingers on the railing from time to time. This subconscious action revealed the restlessness in his heart.
Anyone who participated in the victory celebration not long ago would be familiar with the royal envoy Count Kazins standing next to Archduke Adolf.
At that time, on behalf of His Majesty Edward I, Count Cazes rewarded and canonized the meritorious officials in the Battle of Medina one by one, attracting everyone's attention. And after the victory celebration, he did not leave. As a guest of Archduke Adolf, he fully witnessed
Learn about the changing situation in Lulian.
Not far from Kazins, several local nobles and regional bishops were surrounding Archbishop Wallace of Lullian.
In the eyes of Alvin, who had been to Lulian a few years ago, the archbishop, who was over sixty years old and had ruled the Lulian Holy See for decades, was still as calm and majestic as he was a few years ago. Facing the believers below, he frequently raised his eyebrows
He gestured with his hand, and there was a faint smile on his face, showing no emotion.
This is an old fox.
This is Alvin's evaluation of Wallace.
Based on his understanding of the situation in Lullian, if it had been anyone else, he would have been forced to choose a side. As for Wallace, until now, the Langris family, the royal family and the local nobles are all vying to win over
Object. He is like a skilled acrobat, walking on a rickety wire rope. It looks dangerous, but in fact it is as stable as a rock.
But... Alvin is a little curious.
As we all know, this time Schilling went south on behalf of the Langres people. In addition to venting his anger for the humiliated Princess Scarlett and challenging Roy, he also wanted to take away Wenger.
Speaking of Wenger, this young Viscount of Lulian has already been notorious among the imperial aristocracy. He has secretly collaborated with bandits, robbed people of their wealth and wiped out their reputations, and has accumulated blood debts. According to the thinking of the Solan nobles, this kind of person should be sent directly to prison.
Go to the gallows. But unfortunately, in Wenger's case, it involved a fight at the top.
No matter what crime Wenger has committed, the people of Lanres will take him away. This is a declaration and a demonstration. Through the sharp contrast between Wenger and Roy, they want to tell the nobles of Saint Solan that they must take refuge in Lanlis.
What is the difference between the consequences of the Reese family and those who offend the Lanres family?
When Wenger's crimes were exposed, the Holy See took the lead. Having obtained Wenger's trial rights, Wallace was quite famous for a while. The search of Wenger's property also enriched the Lulian Holy See's pockets a lot. However, then,
With the changes in the situation and the arrival of Schilling, Wenger gradually became a hot potato.
Wallace, who has always taken a balanced approach, what choice will he make in dealing with Wenger?
Should he give a fair trial and be sent to the gallows to win the respect of both Lulian civilians and nobles? Or should he bow to reality and completely fall over to the Langlys family and sacrifice Wenger when Archduke Adolf is already trapped in a tight siege?
The icing on the cake for Schilling?
Alvin didn't know what Wallace would choose. But he knew that today, all this would have a result.
Alvin's eyes swept across the faces of the people gathered in the hall one by one.
In addition to the female envoys of the Holy Lady's Temple, representatives of the four major families, Earl Cazes and Wallace, there were also hundreds of well-dressed nobles gathered on this terrace. Among them, almost the entire imperial aristocracy gathered.
Representatives, some from the neighboring provinces of Sinasili and Saxony, some from the imperial capital, and even the farthest north of the empire. They were all gathered together in small groups, and there was a lot of discussion.
Alvin's heartbeat began to speed up.
In his arms, there was a report. This report was given to him by the local observer of the Heraldry Institute in Lulian as soon as he arrived in Munich. It recorded in detail the Munich period during this period.
He analyzed the changes in the city both openly and secretly, and analyzed and judged the direction of the situation.
Reports show that Munich is about to undergo major changes!
It is reported that many nobles in Munich City have secretly taken refuge with Schilling. And this second-level butler of the Langris family has become the de facto behind-the-scenes controller of Munich City.
For the people of Lanlith, whether they were teaching a little handyman who had offended the Lanlith family's power or taking away Wenger who was convicted of colluding with bandits, it was nothing compared to them sitting leisurely in Munich.
, turning one's hands to make clouds and turning one's hands to make rain, ruining the life of Archduke Adolf was shocking.
Once this matter is completed, I am afraid that no one in the noble circle of the Saint Solan Empire will dare to openly offend the Langris family. And the royal family will also fall into a quagmire of internal and external troubles due to the death of Archduke Adolf and the defeat of the Lulian war. As long as the loss
Without the trust and support of the nobles, it was only a matter of time before His Majesty Edward abdicated the throne.
Today is the day when the Fano army's rear army sets off for the expedition. It is also a critical day when the conflict between the Munich nobles and Eugene is intensified. On the issue of whether the rear army can set off smoothly and whether the logistics supplies can be completed on time, both sides
There is no room for compromise anymore.
Whether the nobles are determined to rebel completely, or whether Eugene suppresses it with an iron fist, or whether there are other changes, we can only see before our eyes!
While Alvin was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the corner of the street.
"Here comes Schilling!"
As a noble exclaimed, everyone looked over.
The red sun in the early morning has already risen. The square in front of the military camp gate is crowded with people. Xilin, who is wearing silver armor, accompanied by Kevin and dozens of knights, roars over. The crowd is in front of this iron flow.
Like the waves split by the bow of a ship, they quickly split to both sides.

.Wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival and a happy Valentine’s Day.
