. ??Two months after Luo was sent to Gordon Military Academy
The Atlas Sea Knights and the Winged Lion City-State expedition fleet launched a fierce battle on the west coast of the southern continent. After occupying several islands belonging to the Atlas Sea Knights in the northwest of the South Road, the Winged Lion City-State's main fleet finally arrived at the Sand King Islands. There was a counterattack by the assembled fleet of the Atlas Sea Knights nearby. The two sides fought fiercely in the northern waters of the Jinsha Islands for a day and night. After suffering heavy losses, they both separated from the battlefield and went to their own strongholds to rest.
The withdrawal of the Atlas Sea Knights and the main fleet of the Winged Lion City-State from the East is good news for the Southern Muland Empire. Just when Emperor Haji IX of the Southern Mulland Empire was overjoyed, as if to prove God's favor for him, another piece of news that made him feel ecstatic came from the Mutu Imperial Palace in Hajira Port. came out - his brother who competed with him for the throne, Murtagh III, died.
This made the civil war occupation of the Mutu Empire, which had been stalemate, suddenly become clear. Emperor Nanmutu's army quickly broke through the front line occupied by Emperor Mutu and began to move towards Hajira Port. At this moment, Haji IX, who had greatly reduced the pressure on the sea, even moved his few ships. They were all sent out to blockade the Port of Gaza, which was occupied by the Three Lily Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Three Lions. At the same time, the land army pressed in and besieged the Port of Gaza.
Faced with this unfavorable situation, the Kingdom of Three Lily and the Kingdom of Three Lions kept sending envoys, hoping that the Winged Lion City State would have a truce with the Atlas Sea Knights. On the other hand, they hoped that the Two-Headed Snake Kingdom and the Red Lion Kingdom would send envoys. Their fleet helped them lift the naval blockade of the Nanmutu Empire. Of course, they did not forget to send letters to Pope Lana and Weeping Willow City.
But the current Pope Rana is no longer what he was when Pope Alexander VI was on the throne. Although the current Pope Leon X has issued edicts again and again, hoping for a truce between the Winged Lion City-State and the Atlas Sea Knights, and urging the Two-Headed Serpent Principality and the Red Lion Kingdom to send fleets to the East to relieve the siege. But now he is preparing to send troops to attack the Duke of Cizer, the Two-Headed Snake, and the Red Lion King, who has his eyes fixed on the outcome of the naval battle on the west coast of the Southern Continent, has no time to pay attention to the Three Lily King** and the Three Lion King* in the east. *.
As for the Northern Mutu Empire, after the death of Muta III, Beilebemutak in the north, who controlled all the armies of the Northern Mutu Empire, pushed Muta III's five-year-old son, his grandson Muta IV, to the throne. He took the throne of the Emperor of Mutu Empire.
And used the power in his hands to purge the Northern Mutu Empire Palace, eradicating all the other sons of Muta III, including their maternal families. However, as the front line was retreating steadily, he finally sent a request for assistance to Xingchen, who had just become the emperor of the Eastern Lana Empire. He hoped that the Eastern Lanai Empire, the Grand Duchy of Asshai, and other Crusader countries could join him in defeating the pseudo-Mutu Emperor in the south.
And Roland seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He immediately mobilized 30,000 troops from the White Rose Principality, Thorn Rose Principality and Xiangjin Kingdom, and went south together with the 20,000 troops from the Grand Duchy of Asia originally stationed at the northern border of the Mutu Empire. , and soon arrived at the Mutak Port area. The speed is astonishingly fast, as if the Eastern Lana Empire's thoughts for the past six months have not been on rebuilding the empire at all, but only on preparing for this war.
The sudden change in the situation made the imperial government officials of the Holy Rana Empire restless. After learning about the sudden change in the East, they asked me for permission and sent three waves of envoys to the Northern Mutu Empire. And to the west the Kingdom of Red Lion can no longer sit still, the Mulander Empire can no longer sit still, and even countries like the Principality of Meath and the Free City of West White Lake Port can no longer sit still. They agreed to the request of the Kingdom of Three Lily and the Kingdom of Three Lions, and were willing to send their own fleet to relieve the siege of Gaza Port occupied by the Crusaders. On the other hand, they also sent envoys to negotiate with Mutak, the prime minister of the Northern Mutu Empire.
It seemed like overnight. The unnoticed Beimutu Empire suddenly turned into a fragrant bun. The Three Lions Kingdom and the Three Lily Kingdom seemed to be on stimulants. The nobles in the domestic territories gathered their own troops. Leave the territory and head to the Eastland. Actuallyit's not just them. There are also many lords from other countries who leave their territories and go to the East with their thugs to make a fortune. Including the Holy Rana Empire.
Perhaps Mutak, the prime minister of the Muland Empire, did not realize how big of a mistake he had made. But he was only complacent about keeping his grandson's throne for half a year. Roland's army occupied his home base of Mutak Port. And he and the emperor's grandson were all driven out of Hajira Port. The capital was moved to Mutumaniya Port, a city south of Hajira. It also forced Mutak to sign a peace agreement. "Return" the area north of the Mutumaniya River to the Eastern Lana Empire. exchange with it. What they got was nothing more than an empty protection from Roland.
??I originally thought that even if it was defeated in the Western Continent, it could still threaten the Western Continent for hundreds of years. Just because one generation made a mistake.From the endless army in front of the Blue Kite Fort pass. To New Lana City. Then sadly left the capital Hajira. The Mutu Empire is rapidly collapsing before our eyes.
And in Roland's eyes. She doesn't care where she lives
What dissatisfaction does the Mutu people have for a hundred years? The Eastern Lana Empire coalition forces occupy one week each time. Serve as a warning to others. However, Roland's approach made the countries that originally benefited from the Northern Mutu Empire greatly dissatisfied. They all stood on the side of the Northern Mutu Empire and criticized the actions of the Eastern Lana Empire and the Grand Duchy of Asia in a just manner. He also asked Emperor Xingchen of the Eastern Lana Empire and Grand Duchess Roland of Asia to give up those practices that were contrary to orthodox teachings. Do not become a pagan nation.
The reason why other Western Continent countries reacted so violently. Except that the strategies adopted by the Eastern Lana Empire in the newly occupied lands were indeed contrary to orthodox teachings. Or maybe it's because they can't get any benefits there.
When Roland's army had just crossed the River of Purification and headed south, the Royal Palace of New Lana City issued a decree to all the lords and troops under its command, or in other words, gave them a privilege. That is, as long as there is a battle, all troops serving the Eastern Lana Empire, whether they are lords of other countries or mercenaries, have the right to claim any infidels and property they see as their own after the war. As for the cities occupied by the Eastern Lana Emperor, in addition to the above permission, they also have the right to take away any "extra" children of a Mutu civilian family and dispose of them as property at will. This allowed the number of troops serving the East Lana Empire to increase in just a few months. The lord's army and mercenaries were everywhere looking for the Mutu people like hungry wolves. There are no military disciplines or conventions to restrict them. They don't care whether there is fighting or not. Even if there is no dispute, they will provoke disputes. There is only one thing they need to remember, and that is not to touch the place already occupied by the Donglanati ***. There are no laws elsewhere. Under that permission, the darkness and greed of human nature are placed directly where the sun shines, without any scruples.
There was even a viscount who was driven out of the territory of the Lana Pope by Cizer. After coming to the eastern Lana Empire-occupied area, he worked hard and bought, robbed and exchanged three thousand mutu of the same age. As a human girl, she donated money to Roland and was given the title of earl of the Eastern Lana Empire by Roland.
And those three thousand girls, Roland just waved his hand, and they were all rewarded to the lords and soldiers of the Eastern Lana Empire stationed in Hajira Port.
No one stopped this genocide, which lasted for half a year. Although those countries have harsh words, they are just going round and round on interests. They are selectively blind to such genocide. The Crusaders and the Muland Empire in the south were busy attacking the South Mutu Empire, and their performance was not much better than that of the army in the area occupied by the Eastern Lana Empire. News from the north could not reach the south of the Mutumaniya River at all. Mutuq, the prime minister of the Northern Mutu Empire, strictly controlled the areas under his jurisdiction and executed all Mutu people who fled from the north bank of Mutumaniya. .
Of course, there are also many Mutu people who feel that destiny has come to them and rise up in the occupied areas. However, most of them are caught by the mercenaries who are looking for Mutu people everywhere and hang on the city wall with iron hooks through their eyes. They didn't even encounter the Eastern Lana Empire's army.
When those Mutu people spent nearly half a year in the mercenaries¡¯ hunting grounds in fear, more and more Mutu people chose to give up their faith. Because most Mutu people with firm beliefs have used their lives to prove this point. In fact, at the beginning, for these Mutu people who were willing to change their beliefs, Roland also gave an explicit order to the commander-in-chief of the eastern occupied area of ????the Eastern Lanadi Empire, giving them the right to live in the city, and allowing them to have a child. But everyone knew that it was just a formality, and everyone knew before it was over that it was just a decoration. Because even if they expressed their willingness to give up their original beliefs during the massacre, they would still be caught and killed by soldiers chasing gold and slaves. There was actually no guarantee. Until the New Rana City Palace decided to stop the massacre.
This massacre made the Grand Duchess of Asia completely the most feared woman in the Western Continent. From then on, when people mentioned her in private, they would often add the title "blood" in front of her name. Even when I heard officials of the imperial government mention this title, I couldn't help but picture a crazy temptress bathing and playing in a pool of blood. But I know that in fact Roland is not really that crazy. I believe no one can surpass her in terms of utilizing the dark side of human nature and understanding the word "habit". This was what she had been planning all along.
Of course, she also changed some of my previous views on things. The civilization that humans have worked so hard to build is sometimes not so reliable, and the same thing will not only happen in the past, but may also happen now or in the future. In a previous life, I was convinced that genocide had already occurred in the world where I lived.The era has disappeared, but it does not seem to be the case now. The era I lived in only remembered the tragedies of the past because it was relatively close to them. When time makes them gradually forget, these tragedies will happen again. (To be continued,)
