Chapter 149

At the end of June 1433, it was midsummer.

The weather had become very hot, the sun was shining on METZL, and every tower seemed to be covered with iron. On the street, in such hot weather, armored and fully armed cavalry can be found everywhere. The castle suddenly turns from a graceful lady into a female warrior.

In the tense air, the city was full of soldiers.

The king stood on the highest tower of the palace, overlooking the city at the heart of the Empire.

The Legrand wartime Emergency Act was passed half a month ago, and the nobles finally had to give up their original idea and give way to the king before the tide of the anger of the civilians. For the first time in history, parliament has given the king the supreme power, and the whole country will be driven into war.

On the first day of the passage of the bill, the king issued the first order:

within the Empire of Legrand, all men over the age of 16 and under the age of 60 should prepare weapons and rush to the designated recruitment points according to the arrangement of the sheriffs.

The whole country is at war.

"You're not going to prepare for your wedding?" The king looked to the other side of the abyss and did not look back. He said to General John behind him.

"I'll go later. It's not time."

General John answered.

After he led the rose cavalry to the city of purton, he gave it to Queen Elinor in a hurry, and immediately set out to return to the city of METZL. His marriage was decided half a month ago. The bride is a red haired beauty, the daughter of the king of angar.

The marriage means a closer alliance between the royal family and the western states. When the holy army was approaching, the king of angar married his daughter to General John, which was equivalent to tying himself to the ship of Legrand.

In the words of King angel's invitation, he has already gambled on Legrand twice. This time, he still bet on Legrand.

Of course, for King angel, the best marriage candidate in his mind is king Legrand, purland. However, relative to the status of the two sides, let an angel be the queen of Legrand, whether it is a noble or a civilian of Legrand, will not agree.

As a result, King angel has a very self-conscious eyes on the same unmarried General John.

For angar state, the marriage is a gamble. For Legrand, the choice of angar state undoubtedly helped them reduce the pressure from their back.

Through the efforts of the kings of Legrand since the Mad King Henry, many small states formed by the breakup of the Legrand Empire were constantly recovered and weakened. During the reign of William III, there were only the last 36 states in the territory of Legrand, and there were seven states in the north. Because they were the farthest from the royal family of Legrand, the seven states were the most frequently rebellious and had the strongest military strength. However, after the northern rebellion was put down, the most powerful three of the seven northern countries have been split and completely incorporated into the territory of Legrand. The western part is the largest part of the state of Legrand, but except for angar, most of the other countries are small and their economy is highly dependent on the central and eastern part of Legrand. Apart from the existence of the nominal royal family of the state, it is not much different from the county of Legrand.

Only the two states in the southwest have the strength and the possibility to rebel.

At this time, the royal family of Engel and the royal family of Legrand got married. As the most reliable ally of Legrand in the next war, once any state in the West or southwest rebelled, it would first meet the attack of the state of Engel.

"The reply from gulendy has arrived." General John said, "they agreed to form an alliance with us."

"How about the restoration of urban defense construction in Central China?"

Asked the king.

During the recent rebellion, all the towers and walls of the city captured by the rebels along the way were destroyed. The people of the Holy See seem to have prepared themselves for the failure of this operation, so before the failure, they try their best to achieve the maximum results.

Destroying a city's towers, walls and blockhouses is equivalent to pulling out the city's armed teeth.

Towers and walls can be rebuilt. But repairing them also requires human and material resources.

"Your military designers have also joined in the reconstruction of the tower. They are in a hurry. Some foundations have not been completely destroyed. The reconstruction speed is faster than expected. The eastern cities that have concentrated on the repair are almost there, but the central ones will not be completely repaired until the end of July at least. "

"They won't give us that long."

The king shook his head. He looked in the direction of the palace of the holy empire.

"Theold is not our noble sir. His army is almost assembled and may attack at any time."

"Northern holy army, maritime holy army, border holy army, Holy Land holy Army..." General John murmured one name after another. "They can't wait to be the servants of the Holy See."

"Our enemy is the Holy See." The king said, "it's the holy Empire, it's the lowland alliance, it's the abyss alliance, it's the hopeless inland sea Alliance All the countries that believe in God are taking up the sword and gun, joining the holy army, and participating in the war against Legrand. Why don't they join the holy army? West orde has offered enough exciting conditions. In their eyes, today's Legrand is a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and everyone wants to share this delicious sacrifice. "The weather in midsummer becomes very fast.

Just now, the sky was still clear, but in the middle of talking, the wind suddenly blew on the ground, the dark clouds piled up one by one, and the thick clouds piled up. Standing on the tower, you can clearly see the light and shadow of lightning in the clouds. The rainstorm may fall at any time.

The valet came up to remind General John that it was time to go down and prepare for the wedding.

Although it was a wedding for the sake of the alliance, and the procedures could not be simplified any more, there were still many things that General John had to deal with himself out of respect for his allies.

After General John came downstairs, the storm came down.

The wind is blowing and rolling rain, scouring the earth hard, and the whole world is shrouded in heavy rain curtain in an instant. Soldiers and pedestrians in the street were in a hurry to find shelter from the rain.

Click.

A clear sound.

A black umbrella stretched out in front of the king to block the rain that was about to enter the tower. The black umbrella was lifted up slowly. After it was lifted up, it opened like an invisible border. The wind was blowing and the rain was blowing, and it could no longer fall into the tower.

The pale, articulated hand held the handle of the umbrella, and the devil stood beside the king.

"The Legion of angels will come to hell." The devil said, "it's going to rain, your majesty."

"It could fall at any time."

Said the king.

From the tower, the pouring rain washed through every eaves and every street, and the water of the whole world gathered on their heads. Then the invisible hand tore open the sky, and the water fell down like that, drowning everything with great momentum. In the face of such a great power of heaven and earth, people are very small.

The castle was submerged in water.

Neither the king nor the devil spoke again.

Side by side, they watched the heavy rain inundate the world.

………………

Kosia.

The order of martial law reached the port of kosiya as early as the fall of the city of helid. The civil self defense forces, which were organized because of the black death, gathered again during this period. Except for two dragon winged warships who had to go to hell to repair and recover because they were wounded in fighting with angels, other merchant ships who had participated in the raiding lowland alliance were all anchored here.

It can also be called heavy defense.

Today's mayor of kosiya, Tyler, ascends the tower and looks at the direction of the sea level, as he has done for some time.

Other municipal officials don't think it's necessary to be so troublesome these days, because it's the end of June.

The end of June is the most frequent time for storms near kosiya Bay. At this time, the ocean current becomes very sharp, and the monsoon on the sea often raises huge waves tens of meters high. During this period, the chamber of Commerce reduced its navigation, and even the Royal Navy had to berth in the harbor. Except those who are familiar with the sea weather, no one dares to make fun of his own life at such a time.

But Taylor saw for himself how the five port alliance of kosiya came to nothing overnight. He felt that since he was the mayor appointed by the king, he should carry out his Majesty's orders meticulously.

Just now, there was a rainstorm in kosiya. The top layer of the tower was windy, which made it very cold in summer.

Mayor Taylor looked out of the window as he thought about the five port alliance.

Under the heavy rain, the sea waves rise and fall, and the ships of the chamber of commerce are quietly moored in the harbor. With the help of the telescope made by the witch, you can see some things floating on the sea. When you see those things, the mayor feels headache. It was because they wasted a lot of energy to pull up the line of defense to block the ship on the sea.

That's good. A storm pulled them up.

mayor wrote down the place where we needed to rearrange the sea fence, and then removed the view.

This sweep, he suddenly froze.

Far away, it seems that there are some sails on the sea level.

Whose chamber of Commerce's boat is so lucky that it hasn't been smashed in such a storm?

The mayor thought, holding the telescope, he wanted to see more carefully and look at the sign on the sail. Soon, one sail after another appeared in his eyes, and his face suddenly changed. On the white sail, there is a golden cross.

"Blow the trumpet! Blow the trumpet

The mayor, with a telescope in one hand and a strong wave in the other, yelled at the soldiers on the tower at the top of his voice.

The bleak trumpet was forced to sound, and the sound of the trumpet echoed over the whole bay. In the sound of the horn, the soldiers who were originally hiding from the rain and looked lazy woke up. They rushed to the city wall and looked at the distant sea.

On the tower, the mayor's hand trembled and the telescope fell from the sky.

No more telescopes.

Countless sails are raised on the sea, and the warships in front of them ride the wind and waves. The crossbow rose from the ships and the ropes twisted. The next moment, a spear like arrow with fire, toward the port of kosiya shrouded.

It's like an unreal rain of fire.

It lights the sky and the sea.
