Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the outskirts of the Holy Capital, the white mist of early spring melts quickly in the early morning sunlight, as if it has rebaptized the land that was once ravaged by war. The small town in front of you will give people two completely different impressions in appearance and interior.  I feel that if the former reminds people of offensive and defensive killings, then the latter will only remind people of tranquility and peace. The dark blue dome of the temple loft is a regional landmark building. With the arrival of abundant rain in spring, the green color has transformed the original gray-white earthen walls.  Covered, a business road paved with bluestones passes through the town in front of you. The town in front of you looks very new, because most of the houses were rebuilt after the Holy Capital War, and they are located to the south of the Holy Capital.  The most famous scenery on the south side of the commercial road is the outline of the road that rises layer by layer along the mountain. This mountain road is very wide. Even at high altitudes, no corners are cut. It is all made of strong and durable granite. Each level you climb is a different one.  It is connected by stone steps and slopes, and there are huge iron cables connected with iron pillars as guardrails at the steep turning intersection. The business road is wide enough to allow four carriages to run parallel without feeling crowded. It is said that only this crossroad was built.  The winding road through the mountains in front of us cost the lives of 567 Martin Liya people. The entire huge commercial road extending from the Holy City area to the south was made up of Martin Liya who were captured in the Battle of the Holy Capital.  During the construction of captives, during the entire Holy Capital War, more than 60,000 Martin Liga people were captured. As usual, the empire used these prisoners of war as labor force for road construction, and in terms of supervision, they used the people of the Order. Faced with these destroyed homes  Naturally, the overseers of the religious order were not polite to the prisoners of war who destroyed the country. The Martin Liga people cried for their fathers and mothers under the whip. The result of this was that in just half a year, a line as long as more than 800  Here, four carriages can travel side by side calmly. The imperial trade road extending southward from the Holy City area appears on the land of the Order. At the same distance, the road width only requires two carriages to run parallel. Another road opened thirty years ago  The Temple Avenue built under the leadership of the Temple of the Order personally took 200,000 manpower and took fifteen years to complete. According to the requirements of the people of the Order, trees and flowers were planted along the road.  Introducing spring water from the mountain to fill the stream, really does not count the labor. But looking from a high place, a large area of ??black land more than ten miles south of the town makes people feel very unnatural. Even in the early spring when everything recovers, the land is covered by large expanses of green.  There is a lot of foreshadowing, but the charred black is like a scar on the earth. What makes people feel desolate, desolate and sad in the midst of vitality. Just a year ago, it was a battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops fought in bloody battles.  It was the center of the whirlpool where the cavalry was flowing, that scorched land. Fire and smoke rose up from the ground, like a huge force hitting the ground. The thunder god's light group was torn apart in the collision, in the scorching hot wind.  , the Martin Liya light cavalry fell off their horses one after another in a series of explosions, and were finally smashed into pieces by the dense rain of arrows. It cannot be said that these Martin Liya cavalry are not brave enough, even if  They were shot to death by random arrows. They were still running forward. At this moment, they were shot by countless arrow clusters, including people and horses. They still maintained the posture of running forward. When the smoke cleared, there were corpses of people and horses all over the ground.  , blood gathered and flowed on the ground like a stream, and the layers of corpses were all submerged in the flames and reduced to ashes in the flames!  In the Battle of the Holy Capital, the Imperial Emperor, known as the God of War on the battlefield, defeated the main force of the 200,000 Martin Tooth Army that had hurriedly retreated south on an inconspicuous river twenty miles away. Then the Imperial Army took advantage of the momentum and moved south.  , with a sweeping momentum that once again severely damaged the last heavy troop group of the Martin Tooth Army in Getaiya, three days and three battles, the powerful half a million Martin Tooth cavalry were wiped out in ashes. With this battle, the empire completely established its power over Southern Europe.  Luo's hegemony!  That charred land is the Getaiyam battlefield that spreads for more than ten miles. Even from a distance of more than ten miles, you can still see the artillery platform where the Imperial Thunder God was rumored to have been placed. The surrounding platform is about two miles wide.  The towering pavilions and elegant architecture are made of wood and stone, creating a majestic and majestic atmosphere full of ancient culture. All kinds of rumors have disappeared. It turns out that the empire did not assassinate Pope Putamia, and from three thousand people  The imperial guards personally escorted His Royal Highness the Pope to the scene. The rumors of the empire assassinating Pope Putamia naturally came to an abrupt end. Moreover, the first thing Pope Putamia did when he returned to the Holy City was to clean up the lawlessness in the Holy City.  The smoke of the Holy Capital War organized by the Chamber of Commerce has dissipated for more than a year, and the Order Country region has tended to be stable. The injection of a large number of imperial merchant capital has brought about countless existences like this small town in front of you. Also in this rapid  The restored prosperity also brought enough chaos. The news from the Holy Capital that the Pope of the Order, Potamia, who had been missing for half a year and was said to have been assassinated by the empire, returned to the Holy Capital was like a slap in the face.  The biggest mystery in the entire continent of Oparo: "Have you heard that the largest smuggling organization, the Roham Chamber of Commerce, was raided in its home base in the Holy City, and it hasn't been found yet?"Who did it?" "No, I can say that I heard that the lair of Roham Chamber of Commerce is well-defended. There are more than 300 guards alone. Most people will be caught even if they look at it from a distance, not to mention approaching.  "Go in." At the gate of Getaim City, the carriage waiting to enter the city was waiting for inspection. Naturally, the most sensational news recently reached the ears of the black-haired young man who was leaning by the window of the black carriage. "So, Sokutus  Dailan's first target was the Grom Chamber of Commerce." The black-haired young man looked away from the old battlefield like a huge black dragon in the distance outside the window. Without turning his head, he asked the middle-aged nobleman opposite the carriage.  "Yes, the Grom Chamber of Commerce is not only the largest smuggling chamber, but also the largest slave trader privately. The number of slaves sold from the Kingdom of Harvey alone has reached more than 50,000, accounting for 100% of the underground slave market in the Holy City.  Eighty-tenth of the share, Miss Dailan always hates slave traders, so she chose them as the first target." The middle-aged noble replied respectfully. He is the person in charge of the Empire's Southern Intelligence Department in charge of the Order Country region.  Locks was able to be dispatched by Mount Edmund to the Holy City, the former home of his old enemy, not only because of the outstanding abilities of the middle-aged nobles themselves, but also because the other party had another identity, the former Logistics Minister of the Holy City Temple Army.  They are all big and small forces, and they are well aware of the entangled forces overt and covert. Even Pope Potamia would not have guessed that on the third night of her return to the Holy Capital, the Emperor of the Empire had already arrived in light casual clothes.  Getaiyamu, Locks took a cautious breath without daring to breathe. Why the emperor came to Getaiyamu secretly? Maybe no one except the emperor himself knows. From the carriage window, he stared at the city in front of him, backed by a huge and towering mountain.  The emperor's eyes shone slightly, and there was a slight coolness in the wind blowing against his face. The closer he got here, the stronger he felt the spiritual energy. The huge and towering mountain in front of him was really high, five or six hundred  There are meters of rice, and there are several peaks at intervals. If you move the Getaiyam City at the foot of the mountain, the emperor will think of Yunzhong City at the first sight. This is the real holy city. According to what Pudamia said at the time  , after the Holy City collapsed and the Temple Priests broke with the southern branch of H¨¦rault, they followed the records of the Holy City and hoped to find another holy city in the records. However, because the first generation of the Holy Father of the Order died in the south of H¨¦rault,  Therefore, there was a deviation in the location of the new holy city. After searching for several months, the sacrificial group finally gave up and decided to build the city within this area. Logically speaking, the Getaiyam Mountain is so eye-catching, so what about the sacrificial group?  No one should turn a blind eye. The confusion of history is always like the fog in the morning, making it difficult for people to see the past appearance. The priest group may not have found the location of the New Holy City, but under the huge pressure from the Erro Southern Branch, the New Holy City  The gap between it and the real Holy City is only fifty miles. The moment he entered the swamp of the Holy Capital, Du Yu had already determined that the direction of Getaiya was the source of the long-term humidity in the Holy Capital. In Du Yu's eyes, this huge plain swamp  Thin spiritual energy floated on the surface of the ground. Along the way, the center of the spiritual energy was finally determined to be Getai Yamu. The spiritual energy here was like a vortex that was continuously emitted and expanded. Du Yu flicked his fingers slightly and raised his thumb.  The large God's Eye rough stone appeared in his hand. The God's Eye rough stone, which had been drained of its spiritual energy, showed a dark ink color. The surface was not shiny, but a raised leather shell like the pulse of the human body. Du Yu touched it gently with his fingers.  Looking at the Eye of God that allowed him to inadvertently travel through time, after half a month of research, Du Yu has basically figured out some things. First of all, the Eye of God can indeed absorb spiritual energy. He was transferred back to the original place from this era.  In this era, it is because of the spiritual energy provided by this spiritual eye of God. In this era, the spiritual eye of God is almost gone. However, it is not completely helpless. In Yunzhong City, Du Yu saw with his own eyes that once  The God's Eye, which had consumed its spiritual energy, regained its spiritual energy through the Abandoned Sword Stone. Of course, this was mainly due to the fact that the hinterland of Yunzhong City was a base of the Southwest Guards. The instruments stored there were almost intact, and the Abandoned Sword Stone was used.  The sword stone is undoubtedly a device used by this base to charge the Eye of God. After figuring this out, Du Yu originally wanted to go to Yunzhong City again, but he heard something said by Lingling, the high priest of the Tianmiao Temple.  , Du Yu gave up this plan: "The Eye of God was brought by Prophet Fei Lan. Prophet Fei Lan left the Eye of God that had lost its power at the Sword Abandonment Platform. In other words, this Eye of God was brought by Prophet Fei Lan.  It took a hundred years for the discarded sword stone to charge spiritual energy to have such an effect. One hundred years I couldn't afford to wait that long. Since I couldn't recharge it for the time being, I had to find someone who had already recharged it. "There's no need to alarm me."  The local garrison secretly released the news that someone paid a high price to buy such a stone!  "Du Yu took a deep breath, looked away from the carriage that had just passed through the city gate, and put his hand??The Eye of God was pressed on the table. "Yes, I understand!" Locks' eyes fell on this seemingly unknown stone, and he still couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart. It was once considered Mount Edmond.  One of the top officials of the government, who has served the Eero royal family for more than 20 years, how could he not recognize what he is seeing in front of him!  The emperor was purchasing the Eye of God, which had to stop Locks's spirit for a few seconds. Locks felt that he had imagined the purpose of the emperor's trip high enough, but he was still stunned by the Eye of God in front of him.  Turned into scum "I heard that a vein of refined iron ore was discovered in the Getaiyam Mountains?" Du Yu glanced at Locks who looked hesitant, and said nonchalantly, his eyes sharply scanning a hanging mining sign outside the window.  Because of the war, Gettyam City once moved all the civilians in the city, but it also unexpectedly became a city of the Order State where a large number of businessmen poured in after the war. "There is indeed such a rumor that it is known as a mine rat.  The Lasso Mining Brotherhood discovered an ore vein somewhere in the Getaiyamu Mountains. They mined some samples and sent them to the Chamber of Mines for testing. It was confirmed that they were extremely excellent refined iron ore veins, even comparable to Harvey in terms of purity.  The refined iron ore of the Ikars on the plateau is comparable to that of the Ikar people." Rocks hesitated, and quickly replied, "There are certain issues with the reliability of this news. The Lasso Miners' Brotherhood has a very bad reputation in the industry. They have always used false mineral veins to pass off as high-quality mineral veins.  "A bad name to deceive some laymen who want to invest" "Send someone to the Lasso Brotherhood. I want to know who else is exploring minerals in Getaiyam Mountain recently." Du Yu asked, if Yunzhong City has abandoned  A device like a sword platform, then the Getaimu should also have it, but the Getaimu Mountains cover the surrounding area for fifty or sixty miles, and many peaks are independent and towering. I can't look for them one by one. Lasso Miner  As a local leader, the Brotherhood will definitely have the clues they want. "Yes" Locks breathed tightly. He is the general person in charge of the Empire's Southern Intelligence Department in the Order Country. A mere Russo Brotherhood has entered the country.  Unable to catch his eye, the Lasso Brotherhood claimed to have discovered a resource-rich iron ore vein in the Getaiyam Mountains. When the news came out, it indeed attracted the attention of many imperial chambers of commerce, and their control over the Holy City was close to  If not, the imperial merchants would almost plunder the resources in the Order Country, not to mention that the iron ore in the Barrow region of southern Europe is the purest and best among all the iron ores currently known.  The concentrated iron ore comes from the Harvey Plateau further south. Although the concentrated iron ore in the Order Country is not as good as the Harvey Plateau, it is not comparable to the concentrated iron ore in other areas. The Templar Knights of the Order State are famous.  Half of them are based on sophisticated weapons and armor made of these high-quality iron ores. Locks subconsciously glanced at the emperor's side face. There are rumors that there are hundreds of thousands of Ikars and Harvey people on the Harvey Plateau.  The fighting was bloody, and in the end both sides suffered losses. The strange attacks and killings by both sides made everyone unable to understand. It was not until the Ikars and Harveys opened their doors to the Empire at the same time that everyone suddenly discovered that the Empire  Without any effort, the stubborn Harvey's head was buried in the mountains. The Empire's influence easily entered the Harvey Plateau, which even the Martin Toothmen did not go up. The Empire became the biggest winner in this battle without spending a single soldier.  It also wiped out the voices of those in the southern European Barrow region who were still insisting on stopping the empire from moving south. With the Harvey and Ikar people as examples, who would dare to stand up and say that the empire would not be allowed to move south?  Originally, Rocks didn't pay much attention to this rumor, thinking it was not some kind of speculation. Every time there is a war, no matter what the outcome is, there will always be people who will involve the outcome of the war with the emperor, in order to create the so-called imperial conspiracy theory and panic theory.  , but at this moment, Locks was shaken. The emperor was looking for mineral veins, and Locks' heart was twitching. Everyone knew that the best mineral veins were on the Harvey Plateau, in the mountains where the stubborn Ikar people grazed.  Treating it as a treasure, the Harvey people have risen rapidly with high-quality iron ore. Such a precious strategic resource cannot be supplied to the outside world, so if you want to get it, there is only one way, use force to tear it apart!  Let the Hawi and Ikar people willingly hand over these minerals. The emperor wants the mines. The Ika and Hawi people, who have been united with each other for decades, turned against each other?  This is too coincidental. Let Rocks go find local rats like the Lasso Brotherhood. Du Yu himself is not idle either. The empire has already sent news to the Red Dragon Palace and wants to redeem the captured Red Dragon Palace personnel.  , let the Red Dragon Palace send people to getaimu, and according to the feedback from the Red Dragon Palace, the Red Dragon Palace sent an acquaintance this time, and the person who came was Nalin. In the battle of Tianmiao, the masters of the Order Country lost their lives.  Tragedy, Nalin is already one of the few remaining masters of the Red Dragon Palace, and another purpose of the Red Dragon Palace sending Nalin this time is also very clear. The Red Dragon Palace has no intention of confronting the empire. The Red Dragon Palace believes that it  Not only are we not enemies with the Empire, but we have also cooperated with them many times., Tianmiao was a complete accident. Since everyone was once a friend, there was a prerequisite for cooperation. The Red Dragon Palace was even expressed that as long as the empire was willing to stop using troops in the Aden area, the Red Dragon Palace could give up the territory it currently occupies in Central Asia.  Area "We don't have to give up the Red Dragon Palace, we have to survive this spring!" Regarding the conditions proposed by the Red Dragon Palace, Du Yu just curled his lips in disdain. The Aden people lost Mars Crescent Bay, and the navy  It has suffered even more heavy losses. The southern region is already ready to move. To continue to leave hundreds of thousands of main troops in the Central and Asian war zone is to court death. But if you want to withdraw these hundreds of thousands of Aden troops to the Gulf of Aden, the first thing you have to face is the empire.  The navy's pursuit is fierce. The sea is vast and there is no cover from the Aden navy. Half of the hundreds of thousands of Aden troops can come back because of God's blessing. Although the Red Dragon Palace is now in control of the situation in Aden, the most important thing is to stabilize Aden.  The attitude of the military is that if the Red Dragon Palace can really facilitate this matter and allow hundreds of thousands of Aden's main forces to return safely, this alone will make the Red Dragon Palace's dominance in Aden the most stable. The beautiful morning sun shines on  On the quiet sea surface of the port, a faint golden color sparkled along with the sea surface. The inland sea area has recovered with the spring, and the sea surface is rippling with blue waves. Different from the southern part of the Order State that suffered plunder, various investment and business recovery policies of the empire have  Stimulated by the epidemic, the northern part of the Order State is full of towns and businesses are prosperous. It is already the largest coastal area in southern Europe. The population gathered in the surrounding area has exceeded 2 million, accounting for two-thirds of the total population of the Order State. Here  Although it is still a region of the Order State in name, it is already a region of its own. This area was demarcated according to the agreement between the Empire and the Order State, and it already belongs to the Empire in terms of sovereignty. For this reason alone, politically,  The business environment is absolutely guaranteed. You can breathe the cool and fresh air and enjoy the picturesque forest scenery of red, yellow and green.  On the city streets, young people going to school pass by the carriage in small groups, joking and joking, waving goodbye to each other.  There were some luxurious carriages and some ordinary carriages, carrying people of different statuses among them.  The shop is crowded with people and there is a dazzling array of products. Here, war seems to be an irrelevant thing.  The Great Northern Empire has completed the strategic encirclement of South Europe Barrow. In the face of naked gold and silver, South Europe Barrow has completely lost the qualification to stop. After just watching here for an hour, Nalin has already seen from the number of masts gathered at the port.  Seeing this, at the chaotic dock location, a carriage marked by the Chamber of Commerce was parked quietly. It was rumored that the Golden Port was full of gold. To say that it was full of gold was definitely an exaggeration, but to say that the wealth flowing here was substantial.  The enemy country is extremely appropriate. The continuous dock berths outside the carriage can hardly be seen at a glance. There are ships lined up in a row, and new berths are being expanded day and night. It can be seen that even if the number of dock berths increases to the original  Ten times the size is still unable to meet the current berthing needs, especially at ship terminals docked in large rivers. A large number of transport ships are still waiting to enter. The sheer number of them covers the sea. This makes Lin, who thinks she has seen big scenes,  Na's red lips opened slightly. These ships, loaded with various supplies and weapons, would eventually move south along the waterway of the Order State. The dark black imperial military uniforms reflected cold colors in the morning sun.  There are also a large number of imperial ordnance being prepared to be unloaded, including heavy weapons such as Thor cannons. The war horses pulling the cannons have also been driven down, and they are neighing on the dock, seeming to remind others that the empire is still fighting for the war in the south.  The war is being prepared. In the past two years, it has been crushing the southern European Barrow like a strong wind. The Kingdom of Fezer has collapsed, the Martin Fang people have collapsed, the Kalisu people have collapsed. The eight central countries have volunteered to be dogs. The Dark Ministry has bowed its head. The Order Country has already  It is a situation of annexation. With the establishment of the new royal family of Eero, Eero is completely finished, and the empire finally points to the Gulf of Aden!  The battle in Aden was already the last hope. As a result, even though our side had absolute home field advantage, resource advantage, and military advantage, and both national and military power had reached their peak in history, they still suffered a miserable defeat!  This battle can no longer be fought!
