Tang Qi Tan

In the wilderness in early summer, it is a beautiful scene of green grass like a blanket and blooming flowers; however, all this peace and tranquility are quickly replaced by horseshoes running in groups of cavalry, and striding forward with bags and weapons on their backs. Many rows of infantry columns were trampled in the dust.

Jiang Tian was riding on the back of a tall maroon horse, and as far as he could see, he could see a piece of blue cloth face armor, a silver-white forged steel breastplate, and a big smiling Jinyang banner held high in the air. The torrent is rolling; along the road in the wilderness, it winds into the distance like a long dragon.

That's right, as the last topic of the special committee, that is, how to respond and counterattack, it came from the malicious intentions of the puppet court in the north; in the end, Jiang Tian made the final decision with war as the most direct response.That is, a military strategy aimed at the territory of the Duke of Burgundy.

As one of the eight crowns directly under the kingdom, it is also the upper and lower Burgundy regions where the Burgundy family originated; now the "bold" Charlie in Seine has given the title to his half-brother Franche— Prince Kong Tai thought that he would rule the local nobles and guard the family territory.

In fact, before this, the two corps led by Madurand had gone north and penetrated the provinces of Ansen and Jura, and began to besiege Franche, Besançon, the capital of the Prince de Comte/Grand Crown; but Everything was disrupted by the sudden change of the celestial sphere, and the success fell short.

Therefore, under such circumstances, it is not a simple matter to launch another conquest; but now that Jiang Tian has reappeared, it is enough to make most of the tedious preparations relatively simple.What's more, this time it was just gathering and dispatching two corps.

There are eleven regiments, 43 companies, a total of 1 soldiers; and more than 3 pack horses and thousands of carriages, and more than 1000 auxiliary company civilians.Under the full operation of the special committee, it only took three days of assembly and preparation to embark on the journey.

Of course, this is only the main force led by Jiang Tian himself.In addition, in several provinces such as Rhone in the rear; there are also soldiers from various towns, which are being continuously recruited and organized. It is expected to form a hundred supplementary companies to fill the needs of the northern occupied area.

Therefore, the main combat task of overthrowing and destroying the Burgundian dynasty, ruling and military presence in the birthplace of the family, still fell on the main combat force in front of us.Just as the outpost cavalry were sent out in turn, large and small conflicts and encounters also broke out sporadically.

However, in the vast majority of cases, the enemies encountered are not local armed forces in the usual sense, or remnants of the old aristocratic forces; but various strange spirits that emerge in endlessly; they have even openly rampant in groups. on the road, while preying and hunting passersby.

Only in front of an established army and well-equipped guns and firearms; most of the aliens who became active because of the changes in the sky.Except for those weird and unpredictable sneak attack methods, the little chaos caused at the beginning was no more difficult than the human army, and they were quickly strangled to death.

Even if there are some special existences that have no entity, or can transform and confuse normal perception.However, under the radiation of various firearms, explosions, and incendiary objects, it is also difficult to maintain its shape, either being found and destroyed, or being worn out.

In other words, it is just a certain invisible superimposed effect produced by the large-scale gathering of strong soldiers, their high morale and firm belief/belief; for these aliens born due to various negative emotions or special environments, they naturally have Suppresses, weakens and repels effects.

Therefore, as a means of deterrence and warning, wooden poles interspersed with heads of all kinds of different types are erected one by one, like street trees or road signs, wherever the free army going north passes; A small hill was piled up with corpses of different kinds.

In addition, the only thing that can really delay and delay the progress of the Freedom Army is the poor road condition that has been in disrepair or has been artificially damaged.Those classical avenues that have been used since the ancient Roman era; the severely worn and exposed stone bases, and the drainage ditches have also been demolished in pieces.

On the way, Jiang Tian also calmed down and reviewed the sporadic information and indirect records about the last change of the celestial sphere collected from various sources; There are some passages similar to dark fairy tales, ballads and proverbs.

On the contrary, it is the hunter organization that has been active in the dark in the past, and some of the knowledge and rumors that have been preserved to some extent are more real and comprehensive; especially in the underground secrets of the Rose Palace, the royal family from the end of the Rose Dynasty in the Kingdom of Sealand was found. After the special literature under.

The previous, and also the first, celestial sphere change was 400 years ago.It was the heyday of the Rose Dynasty. The founding families of the fourteen kingdoms headed by the bloody rose banner on a black background; led by King Amber, the leader of the seventh dynasty at the time, defeated crusades from the Eastern Empire several times.

It also rescued the precarious Western Empire from internal and external troubles, and thus seized a large area of ​​territory and rights including the Alps in the mountains.However, with the support of the Eastern Great Xia at that time, the Eastern Empire seemed to have a steady stream of manpower and material resources, and more crusades gathered in the province of Ravenna.

At this time, the sudden celestial phenomenon interrupted everything.The huge sphere in the sky can be seen in the western continent, which lasted for a whole month; then there were frequent collective disappearances, loss of contact, and an endless stream of aliens hurting and cannibalizing; this led to the collapse and chaos of the kingdoms of the mainland to varying degrees.

With the raging rampage of many alien species that appeared out of thin air, blocking road traffic, many monasteries, villages, and towns in remote areas have once again become isolated islands in disguise, or even ruins entrenched by alien species.It was an era when even noble lords could only curl up in their castles to protect themselves.

Even some lords and knight fiefs with small power or limited scale and relatively remote geography were even quietly exterminated and extinct.The sea area and the continental highway between the East and the West were also cut off for a period of time before being re-opened by the organized army.

In the end, the first ones to recover from the chaos were the highly centralized Eastern Luo Empire and the Eastern Dynasty.Then it was the Western Continent that was reshuffled in the event and became fragmented and fragmented; this is also the root of the rise of Orientalism/Seres fashion.

However, the Eastern Empire had lost the best opportunity to unify the Western Empire, and the flourishing Rose Dynasty fell to the ground because of this;Everyone is struggling to cope with this era of dancing demons.

But the price was equally tragic. Not only did the Rose Dynasty end, but even the fourteen founding families of the Sealand Kingdom almost died out.And those nomadic khanates in the east, and the Norman kingdoms of the northern barbarians; they are changing frequently in bloody and cruel killings.

As a result, the church with a sacred title and inheritance of mysterious knowledge has become very popular.Because in this time and space that has been severely reformed, pious belief is not an illusory existence; it is truly calming and has the potential effect of repelling and hiding aliens.

As a traditional power in the Western Continent and one of the only surviving beacons of human civilization, the Holy United Kingdom of Brittania has many military orders and predecessors of knight orders, and the tradition of chivalry that it pursues also originated in This era of great turmoil lasted for generations.

In the end, with the existence of these aliens, they ebbed and disappeared in broad daylight.The legends of the general public's rebellion by aliens lasted for hundreds of years before they gradually disappeared from word of mouth; only some far-fetched dark songs and absurd folk proverbs remained.

According to the conjecture passed down through the ages of the hunter organization.Some aliens who are unwilling to go extinct hide in the ground to sleep and hibernate in a specific environment; eventually they become energy-depleted remains.There are also some that are integrated into the blood of local humans and become inheritances with a small probability of awakening from generation to generation;

But there are also some human beings with their own special physique, or by chance, who have been affected by the changes from the celestial sphere and have extraordinary power.Then make contributions and make achievements and spread leaves.It has achieved the source of some ancient families, and even the inheritance of the so-called knight blood.

In addition, all kinds of abnormal creatures and materials that appeared in this world with the changes of the celestial sphere have also become one of the inheritances that enabled and flourished those ancient associations and secret organizations; Then, a special existence named Hunter was born.

Therefore, as Jiang Tian continued to march toward the north, he also received good news, bad news, and news that he didn't know good or bad.The good news is that several knights/intervention troops from the Holy Kingdom of Brittania have retreated from various western provinces one after another.

They retreated in such a haste and haste that even the luggage and supplies that could not be taken away, as well as the camp, were burned.The follow-up redemption negotiations with the Free Army were suddenly interrupted.It seems that the soldiers, sergeants, and knights of the middle and lower classes have been completely abandoned.

The bad news is that with Paulina's Western Front/Overseas Legion, the vanguard troops entering the western provinces found that only a barren, desolate, sparsely populated, dilapidated scene of bandits and aliens was left.Because the royal court in the north has repeatedly confiscated food and strong men, the foreign intervention army also took away all the land.

Therefore, most of the villages and towns on both sides of the road have either been abandoned or burned; .Some places even started selling meat of dubious origin.

Therefore, according to the inference of the Chief Accounting Corps of the Eastern Front Army, if the Free Army wants to enter the western provinces and gain a foothold, at least an additional 6000 million pounds of grain or similar wheat and bean products should be provided; munitions stockpiles, and relief means to deal with famines.

The news, good or bad, came from senior Lafaro who had lost contact with him for a long time in the capital region.Because, as the imperial ceremonial officer and assistant to the Minister of Seals, he fell out of favor with the Minister of Seals who was in charge of documents and confidentiality, and was temporarily put aside by the idle cast of the Chiyu style.

At the imperial meeting, the new royal advisor who replaced him was a senior priest named Lafontaine, who was said to be a reclusive ascetic monk from the St. Raphael Monastery.During the royal safari half a year ago, he was favored and appointed by King Charles; therefore, he was able to serve as the spy chief.

While Jiang Tian was thinking slowly, the outline of a large fortress in the distance came into view.
