It turns out that it will.
The breath of autumn is becoming more and more intense, and the heavy fruits on the branches are concealing the arrival of the harvest festival. After entering the "Month of Ariel" (1), the crops in all parts of Metz have begun to enter the harvest period. While the military aristocrats continued to garrison troops on the Western Front, they began to arrange for the tenant farmers in the territory to carry out the autumn harvest. So far, the Silver Queen’s desire to invade Metz before the autumn harvest was completely bankrupt—whether on the Eastern Front or the Western Front.
But it’s not entirely useless—
After the “great solar eclipse” on the Holy Holiday, the unnatural glaciers and snow from the East Metz Golden Needle Forest to the Silver Valley Bay gradually began to melt. The war that day caused a devastating blow to the agriculture in this area, and the Port of Fattan and Oveshin encountered the immediate food crisis, and the nobles had to order urgently to mobilize food from the Ludwig and Mechotofin regions for disaster relief. Numerous solar eclipses in the past few days inevitably caused panic in this area. Astrologers declared to the people that this was a disorder of the laws caused by the once-in-a-millennium magical tide. In this context, doomsday The clamor went straight up, and the forces lurking in the shadows seized the opportunity to prevail.
In response, the prince’s eldest son had to impose martial law in Fattan Port and Oveshin. This move actually slowed down their counterattack on the Eastern Front.
But it’s worth mentioning that after Medisa and Nimesis regained Valachi’s passage to the Golden Needle Forest, the military nobles stationed in the north took the opportunity to move eastward, regaining the mosaic collar and destroying it. The remnants of the White Legion assembled here. On the one hand, Duke Weina obeyed Brando’s instructions and stationed heavy troops at the Argen Pass. On the other hand, he ordered people to rescue and escort the second daughter of Grand Duke Malia and Faina’s sister, Ilia, who was under house arrest in Verosha Castle. She went to Fatan Port to meet her sister Qu.
There was an episode in between.
After seeing her sister who had been trapped for many days, Faina was emotionally out of control at that time, hugging her sister and crying bitterly, behaving extremely gloomily. In fact, since Mehhothoven was imprisoned in a prison wagon, her spirit has been tense all the time. Even after being rescued by everyone, she still worried about the safety of her father and sister. It wasn't until the situation in East Metz reversed that Medissa and Nimesis attacked the passage from Kvarachi to the Golden Needle Forest, and Duke Weina defeated the flower-leaf collar, that the heavy burden in her heart was considered to fall.
However, the moment I saw my sister, the negative emotions accumulated over the years inevitably broke out.
The prince’s eldest son’s counterattack was slow, but after entering the second half of the month of harvest, the sporadic battles between the eastern Metz region and the territory of Mechotofin were still declared over, and Brando went northward and now loyal to the prince’s eldest son’s south. The nobles even further captured the Asaph Fortress and brought the Evergreen Corridor under their control.
Since then, the entire battle on the Eastern Front has come to an end, and Brando complied with the agreement and sent the White Legion who had been in the POW camp for many days to leave the Metz area in the Bushinyan Forest.
As a matter of fact, the question of whether to leave or leave the White Legion caused quite a stir among the northern aristocracy. Many people, including Duke Wei Na, believed that these people should be detained until the end of the war, but in the end, the eldest son of the prince, Lenaret, stood out against the crowd. The meeting supported Brando's decision, and a number of southern nobles including Earl Alcons also agreed to this decision.
After all, everyone who really participated in the offensive plan of the day understood in their hearts that although the White Army surrendered in the First Battle of Port Fattan, it did not really lose its combat power. Keeping them in East Metz is equivalent to saying that it is possible at any time. Time bomb detonated.
What's more, Earl Alcons believed that in the civil war of the empire, their side must maintain a moral advantage, and must not lose too much because of small mistakes. In the end, his opinion reached a consensus among the northern nobles—Earl Alcons has now become Lenaret’s right-hand man. He is obviously extremely satisfied with the current position, completely forgetting that he stood on the side of the Silver Queen and opposed Brando. Sometimes, many times in public, he claimed that he and Brando were'not acquainted with each other'.
Brando was also speechless for this guy's cheeky.
But two weeks after the White Legion left Businyang, a bad news came. On the first day after entering Banker, the commander of the White Legion, Duke Ambnar, chose to stay in a hotel in Grichel. Ended his life. It is said that he did not leave any will, but only wrote a letter to his family and Her Majesty the Queen. In the letter left to the Silver Queen, the Lord Duke expressed his apology for failing to repay the trust of the royal family and detailed his life Loyalty and faith, finally euphemistically warned the emperor of the empire: the dead of Madara are not worthy of trust—
Constance sighed slightly after receiving this letter, and then turned it to ashes.
Later, she did not incriminate her family because of Ambnar's performance in the war, but ordered someone to bury him grandly, and then let Duke Ambnar's eldest son assault her title.
Brando didn’t feel much about the death of the Duke of Ambnar. He was only a little regretful. At least the Duke could be regarded as an upright and upright person; but the upright would inevitably be tragic. This Duke was in order to protect the White Legion. He could even compromise with his enemies, but when everything was over, he chose to use his life to save the honor of being a soldier.
The news of Duke Ambnar’s death returned to Fattan Harbor was the third day after the harvest. At that time, Brando was boringly listening to the decisions made by Prince Lenaret and his courtiers. In fact, this was not the same as him. It doesn’t matter, because since the middle of this month, the Eruins have already withdrawn from the competition that took place within the empire. Although the fleet from Tonigel is still moored in Port Fattan, it will actually set off to return to Var at any time. Halla.
At this moment, the mission of the mission has actually failed.
However, the Eruins have obtained more things than originally imagined. As for how the holy war will unfold in the future, this ancient kingdom already has more choices.
And just as Duke Weina impassionedly mentioned that the counterattack should be launched on the Western Front, the door of the hall was knocked open by the panting Count Alcons, and he brought the news of Duke Ambnar’s death and another news—
On the third day after the death of the Duke of Ambnar, the Silver Queen Constance announced a message:
In the political center of the empire she ruled, a grand engagement ceremony was about to be held soon. One party to the engagement ceremony was a mountain prince from Varach, but the other party was unexpectedly large—the woman was not. It was a daughter of the Queen, but the newly-appointed Countess of Varach.
Regarding this mysterious countess, in fact, since the day she was entrusted, there have been all kinds of rumors among the people. Some rumors say that she is also a mountain citizen, while other rumors mention that she was before she was enshrined. In fact, it is not an imperial person, but from a certain state under the imperial rule. Each of these mysterious rumors made people more interested in the Countess. In all areas under the Queen’s rule, people were discussing the engagement ceremony, and even their military defeat in the Metz area. They all seem to have been forgotten.
The heated discussion caused by the engagement ceremony even spread to the areas of Metz, Mechothofen and Ludwig controlled by the prince’s eldest son. Although the folks were a bit deserted, the senior nobles were also discussing the unusual move of the Silver Queen. The marriage of the field has a strong political color from the beginning. It is obvious that it is to appease the mountain people who declared their allegiance to the Silver Queen, but what they don't understand is why the other party wants to make such a big fanfare
Is it just to cover up previous military failures
The Cruz people don't understand, but some people know it very well.
Brando understood that the prime minister's daughter was right again this time.
After a brief hesitation, he immediately began to make arrangements, and the confrontation between the empire and the east had taken shape. Although Lenaret's power was not stable, he finally had a place to stand. He didn't intend to let the Eruin charge for the Cruz's throne, so it was time for him to leave.
The first is to let Ouni, Yi Nide and others take the little prince to leave the empire. The mission of the mission is over, and the mission of the little prince is also over. Although Haruze had euphemistically expressed that he wanted to stay and advance and retreat together after learning that the teacher was going to stay, Brando refuted it back with the reason that the king must be responsible to his people.
But looking at the little prince's reluctant eyes, Brando's heart was also warmed. Since this time, the former has grown a lot, and finally he has the temperament of being a king. This made him very gratified-at least he was worthy of the dangers experienced in the process, although it also left some troubles, at least the "Princess Princess" on the battlefield passed by word of mouth by the soldiers was one. Princess Fein explained where the disappeared'Princess Fussa' went.
Fortunately, there is no need to face the princess for the time being.
Before the fleet left, Brando and Nimesis met.
After absorbing the war slate that day, Bai Jia-senpai's personality fell into a deep sleep, and she hasn't woken up yet, and she doesn't know what kind of abilities she has acquired. And then Nimesis’ personality took over the initiative of the body. The first time she saw Brando, she gave the latter a loud slap without saying a word, and then gritted her teeth and looked at him with her lips. I moved as if I wanted to say something, but I didn't say it after all.
But Brando read the meaning of this sentence by looking at her lips: Dog men and women!
Brando couldn't laugh or cry. Of course, he knew that she was slapped for the sake of the old sister Bai Jia molesting him, but that was not instructed by him, he was also a victim himself.
Fortunately, in his heart he felt a little guilty about the girl who inherited the soul of the senior sister. He didn't care about anything. Instead, he saw that the other party broke away from the cold that was a thousand miles away before, and his face was flushed to the root of his neck. It looks very interesting.
"Miss Nimesis, no matter what you think of me, but this time Eluin’s domestic affairs are entrusted to you. Although Eluin looks calm at the moment, the waves are as smooth as a mirror and the dark tide is raging, whether it is The royal party, the empire, or the undead of Madara can’t handle it well, and the kingdom may be in crisis at any time, not to mention that the unity of all things will definitely take the opportunity to make waves in this situation."
Nimesis frowned as if she didn't even want to look at him more, and replied coldly: "I understand naturally, you don't need to remind me too much."
But she also understood that among Princess Griffin's ministers, only the one in front of her was the most clear about Eruin's future, so she still asked: "If you have any thoughts, just say it."
Brando nodded, expressing satisfaction with Nimesis's overall view of keeping calm.
"Tell the princess that the undead will launch the second Black Rose War within this year. No matter what anyone says to her, let her not believe that the Black Rose on the opposite side of Bromanto must give up all the fluke!"
"Did you know that the royal party always thinks that you want to use the threat of the undead to expand your influence," Nimesis looked at him coldly: "You mean to let Her Royal Highness completely confront him?"
"Those who think so are just a group of short-sighted people. I believe that someone in the royal party can see all this. Politics is an art of compromise, Miss Nimes, but it is not a compromise to everyone."
"I will take the words."
"thanks."
"No thanks, it's not for you."
Watching Nimesis on board the boat silently, Brando couldn't help touching his cheek, "hiss-" He couldn't help barking his teeth. This woman was really merciless when she started, and it was a bit painful. . Although his defenses are now beyond ordinary people, they can't shield the pain. Moreover, Nimesis's current strength is not bad at all. After absorbing the second slate, the opponent has faintly touched the domain of the elements.
"How is it, does it hurt?" At this time, a teasing voice came from behind him: "Mr. Earl."
Brando looked back, only to find that it was the little princess of the West Fah family. Qiyala is wearing an exquisite princess dress today, holding a purple parasol, looking like a doll, two ponytails gleaming in the golden sunlight, she raised her small face with a look of interest Looking at Brando, a sly light flashed from time to time in the blue eyes of the sea.
"His Royal Highness, Princess of the Westfah family, say hello to your brother for me."
"I will," the little princess replied with a smile, "but I have a question for you, Mr. Earl."
Brando made a please gesture.
"Now you should know what my brother planned. I want to ask you, Mr. Earl, do you plan to marry me?"
"puff!"
Brando almost didn't choke himself to death. He couldn't help coughing violently. He saw a lot of straightforward questions, but it was the first time that he was so straightforward. Especially the one who raised this question was just a minor point. Although he didn’t know how old the little princess was, he didn’t even look at her poorly developed breasts and her tiptoe to the height of his chest. It looks like it's over fourteen years old.
"Your Royal Highness..." Brando replied dumbfoundingly while coughing, "Let's wait until you are an adult."
"Cut," Qiyala looked contemptuously: "hypocritical, don't think I don't know the scorn of the nobles, I am the daughter of the royal family, don't you want to get me?"
Brando felt that if he continued to say this, someone nearby would be called a military police, and hurriedly interrupted the little devil's words: "Enough, Your Royal Highness."
"Humph!" Qiyara snorted softly, turning her head away, but there was a blush on her little cheek. She was a little dissatisfied: "My brother, except for his eyes, is no better than your washboard princess. There is also the "Princess Fusha". Let him be the king. It is better to marry him. Going out, there are always a lot of people who like it—what kind of king Eruin needs, doesn’t Mr. Earl still understand?"
Brando shook his head slightly: "Miss Chiara, if your brother's last name is Corcovado, then he will be a good king."
"The Sifah family once ruled Eruin!"
"But that was only once, Miss Qiara, you are a smart girl, you should understand what I'm talking about."
Qiara's eyes were a little gloomy, she bit her lip, and she seemed very unconvinced, but with her wisdom, of course she understood that Brando was right—this ancient kingdom could no longer stand it again. The turmoil is over. She stood there, frowning and wringing her hands. Brando had never seen such a childish side of the little princess since she knew this little princess.
His heart softened slightly, and he was about to say something to comfort her. Unexpectedly, Qiyala reacted first and interrupted him: "You don't need to comfort me, I don't want the hypocritical comfort of a guy like you, I And one more thing."
"Um?"
Brando was startled slightly.
Qiara lowered her head, wrapped her hands behind her neck, and untied a necklace. She put the necklace in her hand, and then handed it to Brando: "No, this is the amulet that my father gave me. I will lend it to you first. You have to come back alive and return it to me."
Brando always felt that there was something wrong with what the other party said. He looked at the necklace in his hand. The necklace still carried the residual temperature of the little princess' body temperature. It was a beautiful crystal pendant with a tossing blood inside. . He felt as if he had seen this necklace there, but he immediately saw the Sifah family emblem carved on the pendant base, and remembered the meaning of this necklace, which was the mark of the blood of the royal family.
Although he disagrees with such things as amulets, Brando did not expect that the other party would lend such a valuable thing to himself. The thoughts carried on it can be imagined, and his heart is slightly moved: "Your Royal Highness..."
Unexpectedly, Qiyala looked disgusted: "Hurry up and put away your ugly expression than crying. It's disgusting. I just don't want to be a widow before I get married!"
Brando suddenly finished his words. He always felt that he would continue to say a few more words to the princess, that he might really die from a myocardial infarction, and he didn't know how the other party's strange thoughts came from, and where she was. Aristocratic education received
