    Creaking, creaking The door shaft of the third gate of Quanfeng Pass creaked. The biting cold wind and low temperature made the bearing rotation extremely difficult.  .  The door opened, and a gorgeous carriage with six horses crushed the pure white snow blanket outside the door.  The carriage also carries the swallow-tailed flag of the Essien royal family, but it is not a member of the royal family, but an envoy visiting another country.  "Miss Edimous, 55 miles ahead is the national border of Essien. You can see the magnificent boundary monument. 70 miles further south is the gate of Chongying Kumara. You must be careful of those in the south.  People, their faces are colder than a frozen lake, and they don’t know how to respect a lady.” Quan Feng Guan garrison commander Kui Yijue’s face was rosy, and his voice could be heard far away in the wind and snow.  This viscount has certain military talents, and he is also good at courting horses, but his judgment of the current situation and his backers is always inaccurate. He has been on the wrong team in several struggles. He will probably be a guard commander in Quanfengguan for the rest of his life.  .  If possible, who wouldn't want to return to the magnificent Pilsen? Even going to the north to fight the dwarves is better than guarding the southern border and confronting the Kumara soldiers.  In recent years, the power of the southern military countries has grown stronger and stronger. Lord Quin is worried that those warlike guys will come over. They fight purely for the sake of fighting. Money and land are all secondary factors.  So when he heard that Idemos, who was visiting Chongying Kumara in the name of the royal family, passed through Quanfeng Pass, he realized the opportunity.  The attack on the Tia Forest is well known to everyone. In the eyes of everyone, it is a big cake made of gems, spices, brocades, and slaves. Anyone can pick whatever they want as long as the annoying trees are pulled out.  During this period, Lord Quin tried his best to flatter Idemus, hoping to add his family crest to the order of sending troops.  "Send it here. Lord Quin, I will convey your request to the Prime Minister." "Thank you very much!" The wonderful Idemus admired the silvery snow scene and suddenly said: "What a sweeping view.  Those stalking eyes have also disappeared." Lord Quin was stunned.  "Ah? Ah! Yes, Kumara's military spies have little place under Duke Carlton's careful inspection." He nodded in agreement.  Idemus covered her mouth with a fan and said goodbye to him. In fact, the two sides said completely different things.  This is already the eighth month after the Xiguang Agreement. At the beginning, she was always surrounded by more than one wave of eyes and spell detection. Anyway, the agreement did not stipulate that the referee could not be monitored.  Later, after Idemus ran around for several days, the monitors realized that she had hundreds of clones, and the magic network gems might have been secretly scattered.  How can I hold it in my hand stupidly.  Until recently, the surveillance around me completely disappeared, and I went to find other clones.  Eight months later, Essien’s food reserves and military mobilization have been completed, and in theory, troops can be dispatched.  However, people's greed will always hinder efficiency. More and more nobles hope to get involved and share the cake. As a result, it will be delayed until winter, and they can only wait until spring next year before sending troops.  She requested an order to go to Chongying Kumara to persuade the Ring Sword Council to join this joint crusade.  Kumara's military system reminds the illithid of a common species in Faer?n - bugbears.  He's not the kind of 1-meter-tall robber who likes to swarm people and disperse in a hurry.  Bugbears are a branch of the goblin family.  They are at least 2 Sami tall, like a standing bear, with sharp teeth and a strong mouth. The most important thing is that they belong to a militaristic civilization.  Obey the strong and have strict military orders. Many evil forces like to recruit bugbears as subordinates to save worry and effort.  Chongying Kumara has such a social atmosphere, and its leadership is called the "Sword Ring Council".  Members of the Assembly are called "Marshals."  Is the supreme leader of Kumara.  The Parliament currently consists of four marshals, each of whom owns a quarter of the country.  The distinction between Jing and Wei is clear.  Children will be checked and registered as soon as they are born. They will receive basic training at the age of 5 and learn to obey orders.  Officially joined the army at the age of 15.  Those who excel become professional soldiers and enjoy higher social status.  Those eliminated were half-cultivators and half-militiamen.  The entire family was put to death for evading military service.  Kumara is to the north of Essien, to the south is the Crimson Federation, to the west is Tia Forest and to the east is the Red Bone Plateau. The four wars have cultivated their warlike nature.  Generals are accustomed to settling disputes through small-scale military duels, and they are relatively unified externally.  Five days later, Idemus met "Left Wing Commander Birchfield", one of the four marshals. His military leader was close to the Tia Forest.  After a polite and careful search, the Edimous envoy entered the drawing room.  Burchfield is in his early forties, has short spiky hair, wears armor, and is unsmiling.  There was a row of people standing behind him. Without introduction, who would know that those who were like guards were his wife and children.  After the blunt greetings, we entered a depressing family banquet. The restaurant was brightly lit, but everyone ate silently, eating as quickly and neatly as cutting a steak.  "Please tell me." Burchfield put down his knife and fork. Even though his family was not full,He also left the table immediately.  The lack of red tape is also a good thing for illithids. Dealing with lower creatures is a test of patience.  "Next spring, a total of 2 duchies and 5 counts of Essien will attack the Tia Forest under the leadership of the royal family. They would like to invite Kumara to join the coalition." "You should first notify the Ring Sword Council before joining forces with other countries, and  Not to see me first." The marshal's voice was cold.  "But you are the military governor of the left wing." Idemus said with a smile, "The Ring Sword Council has already announced it, but it will be you who will gain the glory of the war." She felt that the other party was proud of these words.  , but his face remained calm.  "What's the reason for the attack?" "Does Kumara need a reason? War is the truth!" Burchfield nodded in agreement with such arrogant rhetoric, because this is the spirit of Kumara.  "But there needs to be an explanation to the outside world, otherwise everyone in other countries will be in danger." "A year ago, the elves attacked the trading station on the Essien border for no reason. The manager Mephistin and many of his subordinates were massacred. Our country held high the flag of justice.  , to seek justice for the deceased. "The reason is to have a face, no matter how thin it is, just have it.  "Oh, that's it. Then please send your agreement on the time of dispatching troops, distribution of the Warring States Period, etc. to my clerk." After the marshal said this, he was about to leave. The negotiation time was shorter than eating. This is the style of militarism.  .  "Wait, in order to thank the marshal for his support, I specially prepared a gift." Eddy Moss said, but Burchfield did not refuse, and did not even pretend.  The shortcoming of oligarchy is the lack of supervision system, especially in Kumara. The purpose of practicing martial arts is to serve as a soldier, to serve as a soldier for military merit, and to become an officer for military merit. Officers can legitimately receive gold and silver, which is normal in Kumara.  The waiter brought a long sword wrapped in silk. The marshal could tell from the steel mouth that it was a masterpiece.  But when he saw the huge orange gem inlaid on the hilt of the sword, he frowned. Soldiers can have wealth, but they cannot bring this style to the battlefield.  If his colleagues saw him decorating his sword with flashy gems, he would be laughed at.  "This is a famous sword forged by dwarves. The gem is the family emblem of the forger. Marshal is not afraid to give it a try." Birchfield was not polite. He held the sword with one hand to check the blade. Suddenly, he slashed down with the sword and knocked down the dining table.  Divide into two.  The sword was very sharp, and the marshal was very satisfied.  "Good stuff, I'll accept it and say goodbye." The marshal walked away.  Returning to his top-secret study, he picked up the carefully laid out information and looked at it carefully.  Kumara's spies are everywhere, and the military universities in each military territory have specialized training subjects.  He was not as ignorant about the situation of Essien and Tia as he was at the dinner table. The documents in his hand clearly described the time and some inside stories of the attack on Blooddrain Castle, the giant trees that appeared in Tia Forest and more and more people.  Strange creatures, the story of the last private robbery, and recent reports of sightings of elf spies.  Birchfield has been preparing for this war for a long time. He speculated that the Tias did not sit back and wait for death, but secretly prepared to fight back.  Just let Essien's old soldiers fight to the death, and the winner will always be Kumara, the middle-aged marshal sneered.  He walked up to the balcony and could see the frame of Eddy Moss' car.  This woman is not simple. Burchfield rubbed her chin. The sword was just a palm away from her nose, but she didn't even blink.  He felt uneasy about being plotted. He looked at the gemstone sword as a gift and wondered what went wrong.  The Idemus below is fully aware of Birchfield's actions. Poor guy, he doesn't know how much trouble it will cause when he appears on the elven battlefield with that masterpiece in the future.  The streets of Kumara are neat and orderly, and people walk in order, prosperous and peaceful.  The illithid can detect the temptation suppressed by law and power, roaring in every brain.  Humans are complex creatures and they are fickle.  Kumara's laws only represent order but not justice, hiding dissatisfaction and hidden dangers.  The people here are eager to vent their anger and must use war to relieve it. If there is peace for too long, Kumara will decline earlier than Essien. ?????????????????????? I hope that the Tia Forest War will become the trigger of the revolution, how interesting it will be!  Eraduni smiled quizzically. He liked this game. Whether it was Faerun or Nasus, he was just a little person.  But here, he only needs to gently put down a piece of stone to stir up the entire continent.
