Chapter 426 Time This winter, almost everything interesting things that can be found in history have been put together.
Wars, conspiracies, conspiracies, changes of thrones, the decline and even subversion of an empire, the rivalry of various forces, the rise of new forces, and the emergence of new strongmen on the world stage History tells us that when all these things happen in the same era and at the same time, then the only result is the birth of a great change The cold wind had blown his face completely numb, and Char couldn't even feel the pain from the biting cold wind.
He was on horseback, and his body was almost torn apart by the rush.
He could only tie himself to the back of the horse with a rope and grit his teeth and insist on the road.
From the city of Haske, it travels north to the city of Denzel, passing through the counties of Esria, Sirtan, and finally to the county of Mor.
Sirtanshire was still in the hands of the Odin, and such a journey was still fraught with danger for Char's small cavalry.
Although in order to protect Char's safety, the Governor's wife of the Besta Military Region sent her elite guards.
After entering the territory of Siltanshire, the team accelerated and galloped around the clock, trying to cross the enemy territory as soon as possible.
Char was already a little unbearable, and for the first time he felt a deep hatred for his current physical condition, and this helpless hatred even made him a little reluctant to involve this irritable hatred on Merlin's body.
If it were in the past, Uncle Char, who was so strong and almost perverted, would not be as embarrassed as he is now.
And along the way, Char obviously felt that the cavalry guards of the Besta Military Region who were responsible for escorting him were a little contemptuous in their eyes, and they seemed to be very disdainful of his unbearable appearance.
The cavalry sat on horseback, proudly shuttling back and forth by Char's side, and though they were still tired, they had enough strength to show their pride.
Char can only tie himself to the back of a horse to barely keep himself from falling behind, such a move, for the turtle, who has always been known for his martial bravery, it is really a shame to be flaunted in front of his eyes by a few unpopular cavalry.
Luckily, Char's bad luck didn't catch up with him this time.
After entering Sirtan County, he did not encounter the Odin army along the way, and was not discovered by the Odin, so the danger was minimized, although according to Char's analysis, this situation is mostly because the main force of the Odin is still in the territory of the Corsican Military Region to rectify and clean up the place, and eliminate the remnants of the resistance and small rebellions.
If you calculate the journey, you will have to wait until two days later to pass through Syltan County and enter the territory of Mor County.
Just last night, a snowstorm hit the first snow of the year, and it came so early and so violently It snowed all night, and the howling cold wind made it impossible to stand.
The party had to stay overnight in a forest, and at dawn the snow had ceased for a moment, and as far as the eye could see, the wilderness was already silvery, and the thick snow had whitewashed the earth in the same color, and there was no longer one another.
The road has been buried by snow, and it is difficult to see clearly.
In this kind of weather, the patrol team that wants to come to the Odin should rarely travel, but it also adds some difficulty to the journey.
In the woods, the guards were still sorting out the horses and shapes.
The guards of the Besta Military Region were wrapping the horse's hooves in cotton cloth, and Char himself naturally didn't have to do it.
He stood outside the woods, looking into the distance, his face gloomy to the extreme.
"Damn, damn it, God seems to refuse to help Lao Tzu this time."
The turtle wanted to yell at the sky in annoyance.
Behind him, the sound of footsteps on the snow was heard, and Char turned around to see Sogher, the former Corsican general who he had subdued, standing behind him.
Sogel was still emaciated, and the continuous running around made him look even more haggard, and he was still wrapped in thick bandages, and he wore a fur hat on his head, which looked a little ridiculous.
However, his waist is still very straight, which is also one of the reasons why Char looks at him very well.
This guy is indeed a man "You don't seem to be in a good mood."
Thorgher's voice was hoarse.
Char nodded and glanced at Sogher: "I can't be happy, you look at this damn snow it came too early, too early" "It's only the end of November, and it's true that the snow came too early this year."
Sogher breathed white air in his mouth, and he also tightly screwed a pair of thick eyebrows together.
"This year's weather is so abnormal, there is more rain in the summer than usual, and the snow in the winter comes so early," Char smiled wryly.
"IMHO."
Sogher said lightly: "The rainy season in summer, the heavy rain for the month, but the good luck brought to you, if it weren't for the roads and news blocked by the rainy season for a month, I'm afraid Manninger would have set his sights on Moore County a long time ago."
That continuous rhetoric gives you the best respite. ” "I admit it."
Char touched his chin: "But this snow is not good news for me. ” Sogel was stunned, the general thought for a moment, and finally, he was worthy of being an excellent soldier of the Corsican Military District, and immediately his eyes changed, looking at Char, with a somewhat incredulous look: "Do you plan to launch a military operation against Manninger in winter?"
Char smiled, a little helpless, but he didn't deny it.
"This is crazy," Thorge stared intently, and his tone was solemn: "Although no one wants to attack the Odin sooner or later and subdue the Corsican Military Region sooner rather than in my heart, the idea of launching an attack on the Odin in winter is too bad, it can't be more bad, stupid, and reckless."
Sogar looked at Char, seeing that Char still didn't speak, the general thought for a while, and felt that he needed to remind himself of the new boss, he coughed, and said quickly: "The Odin people are all from the northern country, for us Byzantines, the cold in winter is unbearable, but for the Odin people, it is the climate they are most accustomed to, under such a climate, the Odin people are more adapted than us, and their combat effectiveness will not be damaged much because of the cold ice and snow."
But our soldiers will suffer a lot if they fight in the snow."
After a pause, he continued while pondering: "Fighting in the snow, the mobility of the cavalry will be reduced to a minimum, the traces of our army cannot be hidden on the snow, and the ice hunters of the Odin people can easily find the traces of our army's advance on the snow, and our advantage will be weakened.
And when the two armies face off, the thick snow will weaken the impact of our cavalry, at least thirty percent of the Odin people are mainly infantry, but they are not very affected by this, and " Char finally spoke, he sighed, interrupted Sogher's words: "I know everything you said. ” Sogher glanced at Char and finally closed his mouth.
He realized that the new boss and boss in front of him was not a military idiot, at least the other party's qualifications were not very deep, and he had experienced several wars, and the victory rate was quite good.
You will never fail to understand this simple truth.

As a general, he is a newcomer, and if he says too much, he is afraid that it will hurt the face and self-esteem of this adult.
"I have my reasons, and they are good enough."
Char smiled wryly, he understood Sogher's concern, but he had no choice There really is no choice Ever since the day she left Haske, when she said the shocking news in the woods when she said goodbye to the Governor's wife, Char's heart never calmed down along the way Osgilia Osgilia Osgilia hell of Osgiria Yanjing is such a majestic city, how could it be so easily breached Such a majestic city, with tens of thousands of elite troops, the generals of the defenders are famous generals like Adric, and there are supply lines of Landis people on the sea, but how can it be so easily broken What's more, the situation has taken a huge turn for the better, and the rebels have entered a situation of internal and external troubles, and are gradually falling into a disadvantage Osgilia was conquered, bringing a series of chain reactions, Char couldn't even think about it Once the royal family is destroyed, it will represent the end of the Byzantine Empire Once the empire is over, then Char, as an "imperial official", will lose his legal surname in terms of identity, and the army under his command will be disheartened, and his army, officers, generals, and entire groups will become rootless trees Although Char has quickly accumulated some of his own family and strength in the past year, he has a huge flaw: his time to become an army is too short, and the time to step on this stage is too short Although he has gathered more than 20,000 troops under his command, and the quality is quite good, and he has a certain territory, it must be explained that these troops, most of them, the loyalty of soldiers and officers, are based on loyalty to the empire The majority of the people in this group, the object of loyalty is not him Char personally, but if the empire gives Char a few years, or even even another year or two, to slowly gather people's hearts and establish enough personal prestige, Let the loyalty of his subordinates gradually transfer to himself.
Let the loyalty of his group become loyal to him, Char personally, and the situation will be much better But now, Char can be sure that once the Byzantine Empire is really destroyed, then most of the army under his command, which seems to be quite large, will be dissipated within a day Along the way, the only prayer in Char's heart was: I hope that Emperor Garcia's guy can be lucky and break through the broken city and run away He doesn't care about the survival of the Byzantine Empire, and even unlike Adric and others in the city of Osgilia at the moment, Char hopes that the emperor can run away, whether in any form even if the emperor runs to the ship of the Landis and becomes a puppet of the Landis, it will not have much impact on Char, but the emperor must not die and not let this banner of the Byzantine Empire fall Char needs this banner, this nominal empire, this titular emperor Running around the road day and night, nearly half of the horses were killed, but Char still ordered not to stop, such a request made the guards accompanying the Besta Military Region very dissatisfied: they were all laughing at this seemingly majestic Char-sama, this guy himself ordered a crazy rush, but the first to support it was himself, he could only tie himself to the horse in embarrassment, this is simply a madman, and an incompetent madman.
After running all the way, Char thought about it again and again, and found that there was only one feasible path in front of him Start a war Start a war at once and start a war against the Odin He didn't have time to wait, to gather strength, to wait for the best time The news of the destruction of the city of Osgillia has not yet spread, at least for the time being, and will not reach Mor County, nor will it reach his own army.
He must immediately start a war, and attack the enemy at all costs while the morale of the army is still stable, in this way to boost the morale and internal cohesion of his army The method of strengthening internal cohesion through external wars seems very old and cliché, but we have to admit that this old method has always been very effective.
Char needed a victory, a victory over the Odin, to raise his morale, but also to enhance his personal prestige with a victory in a foreign war, to establish internal awe and worship for him.
Despite the drawbacks of waging war in winter, Char has no choice at this moment Not really This is a gamble, and it is a very dangerous gamble Manninger's Red Snow Army is considered an elite army in the Odin Empire, and it has just experienced a great victory in defeating the Corsican Military Region, and it is full of morale and good at winter warfare.
Launching an attack in a hurry is tantamount to betting that if everything fails, the small group he has painstakingly managed will become like ice and snow in the sun, and it will quickly melt and decompose, "At least, we are not without advantages."
Char muttered to himself, his tone sounding, and he didn't know whether he was convincing Sogar or comforting himself: "In terms of food reserves, the Odin people must not be enough."
We have gone through almost half a year of preparation from the summer to now.
The Odin people fought a war against Corsica, the food reserves must have consumed a huge amount, and the Odin people do not produce, Syltan County was occupied by them for half a year, but they have not been able to produce much food, the Corsican military region has just been occupied by them not long ago, the war is spreading, everywhere, although the Odin people have won, but they must not have been able to get much food, no matter how strong the warriors, they can't fight on an empty stomach, they seem to be strong now, but they are just an empty shelf, besides, once I launch an offensive, The Bestas in the south will help us, even if they don't really go to war, mobilize their troops, attract the attention of the Odin, and share Manninger's heart if they can defeat them in one fell swoop."
Char glanced at Sogar again, but Sogher's eyes were still puzzled, he sighed and didn't continue to explain.
The news of the destruction of the city of Osgiria, which he did not tell Sogher, could not tell anyone until he returned to the city of Denzel.
And it's not that I don't have any reliance in my hands, at least, I still have a few secret little means, once I take it out, it can still play a lot of role, time, alas, time is damn God, I really don't give Lao Tzu a chance to breathe.
"Top up, top up" Hughes roared hoarsely, he swung his long sword in his hand, his eyes were already blood-red, and his eyeballs were bloodshot, he shouted and jumped at the generals and leaders beside him, and even raised his legs and kicked them hard when he was angry.
The square in front of the palace was already full of corpses, arrows were stuck like a wheat field, and the outer walls of the palace castle were full of cangyi, and there were traces of fire in many places.
Countless rebels rushed forward like a tide under the sound of trumpets, carrying ladders and shields, and then retreated like a tide of defeat amid the shouts of killing.
The Byzantine eagle-headed banner on the castle still stands.
The battle for the palace had been going on for the third day, and the determination of the remaining defenders of the palace to resist greatly surprised the rebels.
According to common sense, the lonely city of Osgilia has been trapped for such a long time, and once the city is broken, the defenders should collapse quickly.
But for the attack on the palace, the rebels broke a few teeth on the first day The thousands of defenders in the palace, and even General Spann personally went to the city wall to fight, repelling wave after wave of rebel attacks, and the corpses piled up and down the palace walls reached nearly two thousand on the first day At the beginning, the biggest motivation for the rebels to attack the palace so fearlessly was nothing more than the various benefits promised by the leading officers, as well as the wealth accumulated by countless generations of Byzantine royal emperors in the rumored palace, but in the case of filling in countless lives without dimensional progress, the speed at which the morale of the rebels fell so that Hughes was helpless.
Almost all the rebels are reluctant to go up and gnaw on this hard bone.
Anyway, the city of Osgilia has been broken, there are large areas of territory in the city, so many mansions and property of wealthy nobles can be robbed, so many blocks of shops and warehouses, rich families can go to loot, seeing that a large amount of money is in front of them, they have worked hard to fight and fight hard until now, nothing more than waiting for such a moment Instead of going to the palace to kill the emperor desperately and win an empty honor, it is better to take advantage of the current chaos in the city to try to get more benefits Almost none of the rebels who were transferred up one by one were willing to fight to the death, they all fought for a while, retreated and lost for a while, and shouted to the sky when they heard the horn of attack, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, but when they heard the horn of the retreating soldiers, they ran faster than anyone else.
Almost most of the rebels have already entered the city.
As the first heroic city on the mainland, Osgilia has so many territories in the city, so many wealthy mansions, all of which have become places where the rebels' various armies have made a fortune, one block after another has been blocked, and the rebels have poured in like ants, setting fire to and looting everywhere, and one by one the wealthy mansions have fallen into a sea of fire and have been looted, and the city is full of chaotic soldiers running back and forth, some carrying the stolen coins and gold and silver utensils in their arms, and some carrying young women who have not known where they have been robbed, crying everywhere, and burning everywhere.
Even the rebels began to openly divide the looted territory areas, and some rebels even had some small-scale fights and frictions in order to compete for territory.
The rebels who entered the city belonged to dozens of military regions, and in the face of such a fancy world as Osgilia, almost everyone was red-eyed, and everyone fought desperately for more than half a year, isn't it just such a day At this time, no one is willing to make a humble move.
Almost half of the rebels who entered the city scattered and looted everywhere, which made Hughes and Salvador almost vomit blood in anger.
Although they repeatedly ordered all military districts to send troops to attack the palace, under the resolute resistance of the palace, no one from all walks of life was willing to lose their strength at this last moment.
Hughes and El Salvador's repeated orders, each of them disobeyed the law.
Although Hughes ordered his own army to attack the palace, but even his own military spirit was a little scattered when he entered the city, he once promised that after the city was broken, he would not seal the sword for three days, so that his army would be happy.
Such a promise once greatly encouraged the morale of the army, but after entering the city, seeing that the other rebels were looting, and his own Governor Hughes instead ordered everyone to attack the palace and continue to fill the lives of the army, where are there still many people who have the will to fight Seeing that everyone else is making a windfall, everyone's hearts have already been floating, but I am afraid that if it is another day later, this flower world has been snatched up by other families, and I have been fighting for more than half a year, and in the end if I don't get anything, that's what I should fuck People's hearts fluctuated, and even many people were dissatisfied with Hughes's strict orders.
El Salvador's troops were even more unbearable, and on the night of the break, El Salvador's troops attacked at the Arc de Triomphe, and the strong attack at the expense of sacrifice attracted the attention of the defenders, and suffered heavy casualties.
After entering the city, his subordinates also had a general mind, only thinking that it was time to reap the benefits, and at this time, no matter how hard they were forced to continue to work hard, I was afraid that few people would be willing.
The attack of the palace was unfavorable, so that thousands of defenders guarded the palace for three days.
Salvatore and Hughes repeatedly sent people to dispatch other rebels, but the main generals of the rebels from all walks of life only cared about firmly holding their own territories and plundering the prosperous world of Yanjing.
The entire rebel army could still show a little solidarity when attacking Osgilia, but I didn't expect it to become like this as soon as it entered the city.
Hughes and Salvador were the only ones who really remained awake, and the two divided their work, with Salvador in charge of clearing the remnants of the defenders of the Arc de Triomphe, Adric's department, and Hughes in charge of attacking the palace.
But for three days in a row, Hughes and Salvador lost their troops, Salvador was even more unbearable, his elite was too badly damaged on the day of the city, and when dealing with the rest of Adric at this moment, instead of being able to break Adric's camp, he was twice beaten by Adric's army and fought two beautiful counterattacks, and his army was defeated and withdrew from two streets.
After gathering the army, he attacked again, but his soldiers refused to give their lives.
Hughes even repented of his bowels.
He only hated now that on the night the city was broken, why didn't he continue to take the risk and drive straight to the palace, if he was willing to take some risks at that time, maybe he would have taken the damn palace in front of him in one go At this moment, in the entire city of Osgiria, only the palace and the triumphal arch are still in the hands of the empire, the city is full of rebels looting everywhere, only the homes of some of the powerful people who secretly defected to the rebels before can be preserved, Hughes is still on the road to do things, he has not broken his promise, and hundreds of soldiers are divided into the homes of those powerful people who should be in the house to protect them, and when the rebels of other families robbed here, they saw that Hughes's men were guarding and blocking them, and they all dispersed.
In addition, there is a special place in the city of Osgiria, where the miraculous keeper is rare in purity when the city is full of chaos.
The whole long street was silent, and at the junction, there were hundreds of rebels, from different military districts, but they were all guarded at the junction, fully armed, and if any rebels hijacked here, they would be driven away from afar.

The streets were unbelievably peaceful, and even the rebels who stood guard at the intersection deliberately slowed down their steps when they walked back and forth.
They were all given strict orders that no one should step into the street or disturb the house that lived at the end of the street Even in the past three days of breaking the city, the leaders of the rebels from all walks of life, the generals, the main generals, and even the governors of some military districts have come here in person, with only a small number of guards, dismounted at the intersection from a distance, handed over their weapons to the people around them, made a respectful appearance, walked through the streets, came to the door of the mansion at the end, and respectfully knocked on the door to ask for a meeting.
It's just that these generals or governors, even if the whole city of Osgilia is in their hands at this moment, life and death, but in the face of this family, they seem to show enough respect, even if every time they meet, the other party only sends an old servant, and even the door is only half open, and then casually confesses a few words, that is, these generals and governors are closed, but no one dares to make a mistake here.
Even though they were turned away, the leaders of these rebels politely said goodbye and left, and then sent more men and horses to protect them.
Just because, the owner of this mansion has to be respected in the eyes of the leaders of the rebels Even the most ferocious rebels, when facing the owner of this mansion, whether they are sincere or not, they have to be respectful and polite.
Just because the owner of this mansion has too much prestige in the entire army of the Byzantine Empire, to the point that almost no one can ignore it, and even among the dozens of rebels in the empire, many generals and even governors of military regions were once his students or disciples, and even used to be errands under him.
The Duke of Minas, the most prestigious and senior senator in the empire, the old man's home with high prestige among the imperial army and rebels, still maintained the last peace in the chaotic city of Osgiria.
At this moment, standing on the terrace of a small building in this mansion, the mighty old man with silver hair, but he showed an old appearance, wrapped in a thick leather robe, standing in the cold wind, looking at the city of Osgilia.
With the sound of the wind came the shouts and cries of killing and cries all over the city, and as far as the eye could see, there were fires and black flames on the east and west sides.
The old duke's face seemed calm, but his eyes were full of pain.
His hands clenched the fence tightly, his fingers still twitching slightly.
"Millennium Yanjing Millennium Yanjing" Duke Minas muttered to himself, and he shook his head slightly.
Turning around, behind him, there were three figures.
Young Roddy, the duke's heir, had a face full of rage, his teeth gritted and stared at the distant fire.
On Roddy's side, the other two figures were both women.
A purple hair, with a demonic purple pupil, a cold iron mask, and half of the face exposed outside, but it is also like a layer of frost that has not melted for thousands of years, and it looks like there is no trace of pride.
Beside Via, there was the young girl with freckles on her face, the youngest disciple of Cavishir, who was wearing a white robe at the moment, the robe was very thin, but in this cold wind, the girl seemed to have no cold.
Roddy and Via were both standing there, but this girl was sitting on a chair, her face was calm and calm, and she was still holding a scroll in her hand, just in the wind around her and the faint sound of crying and fighting, the girl squinted her eyes, staring intently at the book in her hand, and even a movement, it was just a gentle turning of the pages, where it seemed to be in war, but it seemed to be in peacetime, sitting in her own backyard as relaxed.
The Duke of Minas stood in front of the fence for half an hour, and the young girl in white read the book for half an hour.
When she finally finished the last page, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, raised her eyelids and smiled softly: "In this chaos, only your home, Lord Duke, can achieve this piece of tranquility."
These days, and only today, I can read books with the most peace of mind. ” The Duke of Minas glanced at the young girl, and seemed to frown, and the girl's quietness and composure really disliked the old man's heart, not for anything else, but because the girl's demeanor was really like the dead Cavishir "Your teacher, is there really nothing else left" Duke Minas took a deep breath and pointed to the city in the distance: "Such a big mess, didn't that old guy expect it?"
The girl gently put down the book in her hand, glanced at the old duke, and then seemed to smile.
Her tone was as calm as an ancient well, without a trace of waves.
"Lord Duke, we've done what we had to do.
The current situation is not something that we can change individually.
My teacher used to say that even God can't guarantee that every decision will be right.
I've done everything the teacher told me, and the rest is just waiting.
Relative to this world, this empire, I am personally just an insignificant ant.
At this moment, it is just quietly waiting. ” 'I was sick for a while, and I was sick in the winter, and I was very depressed in my hospital bed.
The back of the hand has been tied into a hornet's nest.''
