Chapter 129 Return to Dauras
Chapter 129: Come to Dollas again
The Dolas Plain area belongs to the territory of the Menid Empire, including four counties and three coastal port cities in the east. The entire area occupies a quarter of the territory of the Menid Empire, is the main grain producing area and port trading area of the empire, and carries one-third of the empire's tax revenue.
However, after twenty years of war, the Dolas Plain was riddled with holes and the people were living in poverty. The fertile land of thousands of miles was overgrown with weeds, and many cities that were full of vitality were ruined by the destruction of the war, and many towns became ruins. The prosperous port trade in the past gradually became depressed due to the several changes in hands of port cities.
The Menid Empire now stationed in Dollas, including the three main legions of Canglan, Bauhinia, Izumo, and some reserve miscellaneous legions, totaling 250,000 soldiers. As the Oshu Empire has recently continued to increase its troops in the country, its total strength has reached 400,000, headed by the three legions of Blood Rose, White Rose and Black Bat. It still occupies the land of a county of the Menid Empire. Relying on the occupied Andorra County, near Minsk City, the two sides have been in a row for several miles, and the distance is less than ten miles apart.
….
Griffili slowly closed the document in his hand and had a rough understanding of the situation in Dollas. At this moment, he was already sitting in the south carriage. On the fifth day after returning to Beijing, he bid farewell to his mother and Coffini and embarked on the journey of Dollas.
He went south with him, including the 5,000 black armored knights of the Stefan family, 50,000 miscellaneous legions formed by the noble private army and civilian recruits, as well as hundreds of members of the Stefan family who were proficient in administrative management, logistics support and spy on assassination. According to the old duke's intention, he would reorganize the military and political system of the entire Dollas area. Of course, Griffili didn't have to worry about these. He just wanted to give orders according to the old duke's wishes of living behind him.
After the battle at Wangyue Ridge, it was devouring Clydeman's soul. He was lying bored by the window of the carriage and looking at the scenery outside the window. From time to time, he turned around and stared at Griffili with a bad face. The reason was that Griffili had been forbidden from climbing to the roof of the car... Of course, he cried so hard that he was crying when he left Lisa, and Griffili didn't even have his eyes red, so he was always angry about this...
After the team passed the central fortress, as time passed, the continuous Billyuth mountains gradually turned into a towering shadow behind them. Clear rivers spread like silver light belts to the depths of the Daolas Plain. On the vast plain, dark green wheat and clusters of yellow-green grape vines were like a huge blanket, rippling with the south wind.
As the team deepened on the Dollas Plain and arrived at the area where wars once raging, the previous beautiful scenery was like a beautiful scroll torn apart. The trauma of war can be seen everywhere, with decent yellow and thin refugees, low and wet wooden houses, barren land... and those pairs of eyes that are lifeless and hopeless.
Here, where the war was hit, the news was blocked, and the civilians were struggling to make a living. They were not in the mood to listen to the gossip of the path. They didn't even know that the Sultans in the north had officially launched an attack on Menids, and they wouldn't care whether there would be a change of the governor here, or who the Ninth Knight was...
All they want...is just peace without panic.
Griffili stood in the place where he was buried, feeling deeply moved and sad for a moment. The land here became more fertile under the erosion of blood and rotten flesh. At first glance, it was deserted. Under the weeds half-deep, there were bones hidden. The wind blew across the meadow, causing waves of wail.
"You are here to awaken me and give me a new life." Griffili's face was free from joy or sorrow, as if telling a trivial matter. However, his heart had returned to the world of galloping horses more than five years ago. In that glorious years, a woman wearing bright armored silver spear and heroic figure rode her horse in front of the formation and shouted loudly: "Avoid the front and run into their wings!"
It was this command that gave Griffili, who was undoubtedly dead, a glimmer of hope, thus achieving the glory of the Ninth Knight. He never regretted the past, even on that day when he ran around like a dog. But today he came to Dollas again. He was not here to remember the past. He did not want to escape or escape. He was here to prove himself. Like in Ronago, he wanted people all over the city to be happy for him, and he wanted to make the people here shine in the cold eyes of the dead.
Can he do it?
I will definitely work hard. Griffili thought so.
"Smelling the fragrance of blood, I found the palace of requiem..."
However, he sang a resentful song beside him. On her melancholy face, the black eyes were filled with a hint of sadness, and the red lips of the upper and lower sides brought out a heart-wrenching and trembling tail sound...
This is the beginning of Griffili's fate. When he walked around the mainland like a mouse hiding his head and revealing his tail, he returned to the starting point of fate. The difference is that he is no longer alone, he still takes her, and countless others who silently support him behind his back...
Yes, he returned to Dollas, and to the dream that Siduo has been dreaming about.
The Governor's Office in the Southern Xinjiang is located in the city of Silde. It is less than 200 kilometers eastward. It is the largest port city of the Menid Empire. It is 150 kilometers southward. It is the current line of the two empires, Minsk City.
The old duke stayed when he passed through Silde City. He would start work in the Governor's Mansion vacated by the Eighth Knight Suman Arthur. Griffili didn't even enter the city gate. He led the corps and the remaining thousand black armored knights, under the guidance of Kate and Averre, and rushed to the Imperial Army camp near Minsk.
Three days later, under the afterglow of the sunset, Griffili finally saw the Imperial Army camp in the sunset.
Trenches several meters deep crisscrossed around the Imperial Army camp. On the top of the trenches are rows of sharp wooden horse-rejecting railings. In front of them, there are a continuous military camp for several miles. A huge tent is like a continuous hill. The brilliance of the setting sun shines on it and it looks like a light red luster soaked in blood.
Thick wood forms rows of simple fences, wooden towers rise up from the ground, always peeking at the enemy's every move. Teams of cavalry enter and exit from the camp from time to time. They have been swimming in and out of the camp within a radius of dozens of miles, preventing the enemy from sneak attacking, while also fighting with the imperial scouts who happened to meet by chance.
With the arrival of the new governor and commander of the Southern Xinjiang, naturally, some people had already responded to the leaders of the various legions in the camp. In order to show respect for the Imperial Knights, a group of hundreds of people went out to welcome Griffili three miles away.
What Griffili didn't expect was that the Eighth Knight Suman actually broke his identity and led the team to welcome him.
"Let me guess who this is, with long golden hair and different blue and purple eyes. Who else is not the ninth knight of the Empire?" Su Man dismounted from afar and smiled and opened his arms to Griffili who was still on the horse, looking cheerful.
Griffili looked at Suman who was getting better and better. He was almost in line with Griffili. His handsome face showed that he was only forty years old. Under his collar helmet were a pair of sharp and divine eyes like an eagle, but the kindness and kindness that was revealed at this moment made people feel uncomfortable. He was wearing dark brown armor and was carrying a wide giant sword behind him. As he walked, the giant sword did not sway, and its heaviness could be imagined.
Gerry quickly dismounted and greeted Suman, "I am Gerryfil!" The two empire knights finally hugged each other. They seemed to be intimate, and only God knows whether they all have ulterior motives.
"I'll be very light when you come. I think you could have killed Gao Sa's life with just a few thousand miscellaneous soldiers. We have heard of your strategies and strategies for a long time. I believe the people on the opposite side should be much more honest."
Su Man said something that Griffili was very upset, but the other party's sincere look made you unable to see any slander. Moreover, the generals who followed him also followed Su Man and flattered him, which made Griffili very depressed. This shows that Su Man is not just a martial artist, but a cunning character who is difficult to deal with.
"There are there." Griffili followed the pretentious attitude, "I have new power in southern Xinjiang and are unfamiliar with all operations. I hope you can help me."
In the midst of echoes, everyone got on the horse. Amid the sound of drums and trombones, the imperial soldiers in the camp lined up to raise their guns and welcomed the Ninth Knight with the most solemn military salute. It can be said that Suman gave Griffili enough face.
After entering the camp, Griffili entered the commander's tent directly. Under Suman's convening, more than 100 commanders from the commanders of each legion and the subordinates of the legion gathered together to report the latest information on the battlefield and their current arrangements to their new commander, and it was also considered a formal meeting.
Suman's meaning, Griffili understood that it was nothing more than an announcement to the subordinate generals in public that Griffili is now the commander of the entire army, and he will preside over all the strategies against the enemy in the future. It can be said that Suman did not have any intention of making things difficult for Griffili in the entire handover ceremony, and cooperated beyond Griffili's imagination.
But the more he did this, the more uneasy Griffili became. He wanted to scare Sperer in Kyoto and let his accomplices here jump out and fight him desperately, but he didn't expect to scare the other party more honestly. This was definitely not what he wanted to see. Griffili didn't believe that Suman really wanted to cooperate with him. You must know that behind every force, there is a family's interests. Griffili was obviously here to make trouble for the Arthur family, but their family's heirs were quite low-key about this, as if they didn't care about it. How could Griffili feel at ease?
