Earlier last week, Jenkins learned from Ms. Silver Flute at Mr. Hood's party that the Kingdom of Fidektli would formally declare war on the Kingdom of Cheslan this Friday. Unexpectedly, the other party actually made the first move, and the timing was so clever on Wednesday night, it was hard to say whether there were spies who leaked the military plan of the Fidetictli Kingdom in advance.
But unlike the previous discussions in newspapers and citizens, this time a war is really coming. Returning to the study with Julia, and having a few words with the ladies, it became clear that they did not hold much hope for peace.
"We all know that there is a feud between the Kingdom of Fidiktli and the Kingdom of Cheslan. The border disputes and frictions over the years, even without Nolan's trigger, the war will not end."
As for how far the war between the two countries will go, and which side will win in the end, no one dares to guess now.
Among the three major human kingdoms in the material world, the two kingdoms occupying the east and the west have officially declared war, and the capital of the northern kingdom has suffered two serious attacks in just two weeks, and even the king has to start thinking about succession human problem.
This world is really starting to mess up.
Early on Thursday morning, all the newspapers Jenkins could find reported the two countries' declaration of war as front-page headlines. Some newspapers even claimed that there was the first friction between the frontline troops last night, but this was unconfirmed news, because of the turmoil in the current situation and the military blockade, even Dolores' spies didn't know what the frontline was now. what's the situation.
Jenkins and his friends live in cities far from the war, but that doesn't mean the war has nothing to do with them. In the morning when Nolan was checking the mailbox at home, while listening to the yelling of newspaper boys a street away, he found a two-page recruiting pamphlet lying in the mailbox, and later found out that it was uniformly distributed by the city hall. , Even if Nolan is not within the scope of conscription, some things must be consistent with the whole country.
Unlike Dolores and Alexia in the Northland, Nolan's ladies are all directly related to the war. Both Hathaway and Britney's fathers are important members of the kingdom's navy. Even though the Nolan navy is still preparing for a decisive battle with the pirates in the open sea, this does not mean that the kingdom will postpone the navy because of their hard work after the decisive battle. Advance to the East.
Hathaway was very worried about this matter. When Jenkins saw her at the club, she read with a newspaper, and that page was the frontal photo of Earl Hessa.
"In order to end the battle of the Broken Isles as soon as possible and let the navy also participate in the battle against Cheslan, the father who was originally in Nolan also led the fleet to the Broken Isles to command the battle."
Hathaway said very worriedly.
"In fact, he disappeared a few days ago, and my mother didn't tell us where he went. Now I understand that the kingdom doesn't want the plan to be exposed, so the team led by my father is secretly operating. My mother is really worried. These days, every day at noon Will spend a lot of time praying for my father."
Jenkins didn't know how to comfort his girl. No one could stop the war. As a soldier, Earl Hessa naturally had the responsibility to go to the battlefield.
Even though Nolan City is one of the cities farthest from the front line of the war, the news of the start of the war still makes the people living here panic. You can hear people talking about it everywhere, whether pessimistic or optimistic, most people don't like war.
The arrival of the war also brought a large number of foreign population to Nolan, because Nolan is a non-conscription area stipulated in this document, and it is far away from the front line. In just one morning, Jenkins saw many people with The carriages with strange family crests brought various nobles and merchants to this city.
This is what often happens during wartime. People will always spontaneously gather towards places they think are safe, but they don't know that Nolan is actually the most unsafe place.
Also because of the news of the war between the two countries, the riots that occurred in Ruen on Tuesday night did not make the headlines on Thursday. It seems that people think that the disaster suffered by a city is not particularly important compared with the disaster suffered by two countries, so not many people pay attention to the rhetoric that the church has made up to obscure the truth.
Hathaway learned about the whole process of the Loen riots from Jenkins, and also from him. Fortunately, those shadow monsters cannot be seen by ordinary people. Therefore, although the citizens knew about the turmoil in the city, most of them only knew about it. I thought it was just a murderous maniac running around.
Those who really participated in the battle on the street, apart from the unfortunate passers-by who died at night, were more private soldiers of unknown origin.
"If this kind of thing happened to Nolan, I think Britney would be able to guess that Transcendence really exists. Speaking of which, I forgot to tell you. After the fire in the camp a few days ago, she has been looking for the person who took them Rescue the lady from the tower."
Hathaway looked at Jenkins and asked:
"So what kind of face did you use to do that?"
"I can't remember clearly either. It should be an ordinary-looking woman, right? What's the matter, worried that Britney might fall in love with her?"
At the inappropriate moment, in the inappropriate tone, and in the inappropriate person, Jenkins made a joke that even cats knew was inappropriate, which caused Hathaway to glare.
Compared with Jenkins, who has been busy recently, Hathaway's life is much more leisurely. The red-haired lady enjoyed listening to Jenkins talk about his life and adventures, and Jenkins was able to tell more of his own story after being open and honest about being a church scribe.
Although in his opinion, those were mostly difficult past events, but in terms of storytelling, they were quite good, and Hathaway was willing to listen.
When the new walking stick was mentioned, Jenkins spoke in passing about the elf and Miss Capet. He sighed and lamented that the history of the Williams family was too complicated, but he ignored the surprised expression on Hathaway's face:
"You actually investigated this far?"
"Yes, I might be able to find out more things if most of the insiders were not willing to tell. Now that the war is coming, it will be more difficult to conduct cross-regional investigations.
But I already have a plan. When I return to Nolan, I will tell Robert and Mary about Miss Capet, and then I will meet Miss Capet with the two pieces of metal I own. Maybe the father will be able to tell more about the family's past when he meets new relatives. "
As he spoke, he removed the metal hanging around his neck. Now they are spliced together. Although it is still impossible to see what shape it is, it looks much more regular.
