As night falls, the entire Salander Desert begins to get colder.

In Dukuba, Her Royal Highness Princess Fatima of Salander, covered with a thick blanket, stood on the city wall, shivering occasionally.

"Xie Feng." Fatima asked Xie Feng beside her: "It's so late, why are you calling me out? And why are you bringing me to the city wall?"

Xie Feng smiled and said: "I will satisfy your request."

"Meet my requirements?" Fatima was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "What requirements do I have for you to meet?"

Xie Feng scratched his head and said, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to see the sea of ​​flowers?"

"Oh?" Fatima turned around in a circle and then said: "You planted all the flowers on the city wall? Why didn't I see it?"

Xie Feng smiled and said: "It will bloom soon."

Fatima frowned and said: "It will bloom soon? Xie Feng, I don't understand what you are talking about. Although I do not rule out plants that bloom at night, but it is so dark now, how can I see it?"

Xie Feng looked around and then said: "Oh, it's still too bright around here - Your Highness, can you do me a favor? Ask the surrounding guards to extinguish the surrounding torches for a while."

Fatima asked in confusion: "What are you going to do again?"

Xie Feng smiled and said: "Don't you want to see the sea of ​​flowers? If you want to see it, just do as I say. At least I won't hurt you, right?"

Fatima was dubious, then summoned a nearby guard and gave some instructions.

Soon, the torches on the surrounding city walls were extinguished by the guards. Suddenly, except for the soft light of the stars and moon in the sky, everything was dark. Only the distant city walls and buildings still had some lights.

Xie Feng got a torch from somewhere, lit it and waved it towards the distance outside the city.

Soon, a little fire lit up outside the city, and they waved in response.

Fatima did not notice Xie Feng's actions and just said: "By the way, it is said that in the past few days, there have been strange flames burning in the sky every night in Wayeseji Village, accompanied by loud noises. Your arsenal is here

Vaye Zeji, right? Are you doing something strange?"

Xie Feng turned around and said with a smile: "Haha, you know all this?"

Fatima said: "I also overheard what the soldiers were talking about. And there were several different versions. Some said it was a good omen for the war against Swadia, and some said it was your factory developing

Something more powerful, and some people say that the gods in the sky are in civil war... I think this has something to do with you, right?"

Xie Feng smiled and said: "Yes, it does have something to do with me, but it also has something to do with you."

Fatima asked in confusion: "Is it related to me?"

Xie Feng said: "You will see it soon." As he said that, Xie Feng put out the torch in his hand, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness again.

Fatima was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What are you going to do?"

Before Fatima finished speaking, a bright light suddenly hit her, illuminating Fatima's delicate face and making the surrounding area look like daylight.

Before Fatima could react, there was a loud "bang" that shook Fatima almost unsteadily.

Fatima was shocked and shouted: "What's going on? Is there a natural disaster?" After saying that, she immediately looked in the direction where the strong light came from.

In the sky, a large burning flame was gradually extinguished. The fire that had not yet been completely extinguished was like a meteor streaking across the dark sky, shining with its last light, and then gradually faded away.

While Fatima stood stunned on the spot, Xie Feng said: "I can't find a sea of ​​flowers, but I can create a sky of flowers for you."

At this time, the guards on the city wall were in a commotion. Although they had received a notice from Xie Feng in advance, saying that something strange and spectacular would happen tonight, so that everyone should not panic, but at this time everyone had a look on their face.

There was an expression of disbelief, fearing that some disaster was about to happen.

Xie Feng smiled and shouted: "Everyone! Don't panic! Please let us enjoy Calradia's first large-scale fireworks show together!"

"Bang!" A meteor exploded in the sky and exploded into dozens of star points, like a proud flower suddenly blooming.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang...bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang..."

The flower of fire, the sky of flowers.

…

November 161, Calradia.

In Halma's castle, Charlotte, with two deep dark circles on her face, faced a map of Calradia on the table and listened to the reports from the participants.

According to the feedback from the lords, the troops of the five countries have been assembled, and the kings of the six countries will hold a swearing-in meeting in the capital of Vaegia, Curao, at the latest the day after tomorrow. From then on, a great war will begin.

Originally, the military build-up of the five countries would not go so smoothly. At least a month ago, Charlotte had made some countermeasures for the future build-up of troops by various countries. If things went well, Charlotte would be able to hinder the build-up of troops by various countries, at least.

It can also be delayed significantly, so that the preparations for the Six Nations cannot be completed until at least next year. By that time, Charlotte's cavalry may have occupied the lower half of Calradia. However, such a plan has never been completed.

It can be implemented until the forces of all countries are assembled in an orderly manner.

The reason why the plan failed to be implemented was because Charlotte could not settle down to direct and control the plan.

"Water...where is the water?" Charlotte said to herself with a tired face.

The assassin codenamed "Water" never showed up, which forced Charlotte to always be wary of his sudden appearance. She hadn't had a good night's sleep in almost half a month. Whenever Charlotte lay down,

When she went to bed, she had to be wary of an assassin who might run out from any corner of the room and attack her at any time. She was sleepy and wanted to sleep, but she couldn't sleep soundly. If she wanted to rest, she had to take a nap to let her eyes and brain relax temporarily.

, but the nerves have to ensure that they remain alert twenty-four hours a day.

In just half a month, the originally graceful Charlotte seemed to have aged twenty years. Her silky hair now had many white strands clearly visible, and shallow wrinkles began to appear on her face.

. His eyes were blurred and lifeless, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.

Although a military meeting was being held at this time, Charlotte didn't seem to pay attention to what the people present were saying. Half of Charlotte's remaining energy was controlling herself from falling asleep, and the other half was vigilant about her surroundings——

The most dangerous place is also the safest place. In the same way, the safest place may also be the most dangerous place. At this military meeting, many nobles, lords, and senior officers gathered. Most of them have been in the military for half their lives, and they are prepared for any sudden attack.

Every danger has corresponding experience and methods. If the assassin chose this moment to attack, then he must be out of his mind.

However, the more this happened, the more uneasy Charlotte became.

Among the assassins who can choose this time to attack, there are also some who are insane and have crazy brains.

The safer the place, the less vigilant people are. There are so many experienced people here, and everyone thinks it is the safest. The more they think so, the more they relax their vigilance, and the more dangerous it becomes.

.When everyone thought this place was safe, an assassin suddenly fell from the sky, killed Charlotte, and then escaped calmly. Presumably the noble lords present had not yet reacted. Therefore, even if everyone thought this place was safe, Xia

Lott must not think so. On the contrary, she is more vigilant than before.

Charlotte is very, very tired. When she is alone, she has to be more vigilant. When she is with many soldiers, she still has to be vigilant. She has to be vigilant all the time, because the assassin may be looking for someone to kill him all the time.

Opportunity. As long as you relax at any moment, a knife will probably fall from the sky and cut off your head.

Julian, the lord of Harlengosburg, noticed that His Majesty Charlotte looked tired, so he interrupted the meeting and asked Charlotte: "Your Majesty, your face is a bit ugly. Are you feeling uncomfortable? Your Majesty?"

Julian called twice, and Charlotte finally reacted, shook her head, and said: "No... don't worry about me... you continue."

Julian hesitated for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I just suggested that during the enemy's swearing-in meeting in Kurao the day after tomorrow, when the enemy has gathered all their troops in Kurao for defense, we send a large army to take down Nuo in one go.

The Kingdom of Germany's Jelborg Castle and Ruda Castle will block the Kingdom of Nord's direct advance route to Swadia. In addition, as long as these two castles are taken, then the location of the Xie Feng Arsenal will be destroyed.

Being reduced to the front line, the security situation is precarious. In order to protect his arsenal, Xie Feng will inevitably allocate a considerable part of his military force to guard near Wayeseji. In this way, the enemy's main force can be dispersed, making it easier for us to deal with it.

"

Julian talked a lot, but it was unclear how much Charlotte actually listened to.

Charlotte shook her head slightly at first, as if she was digesting what Julian just said.

On the side, Lord Aiyat of Dehreim said in a bad tone: "Urian, do you know how stupid your suggestion is? The Kingdom of New Vaegia and the Kingdom of Nord have always had a friendly relationship, and Xie Feng has a close relationship with

We have a friendship with Princess Kristina of the Kingdom of Nord. Xie Feng is in the arsenal of Vayezegi. The Kingdom of Nord has always been responsible for the protection of Xie Feng, so the defenses of Jellbog Fort and Ruda Fort have always been tight——

This is not only to protect Vaye Zegi, but also to protect the line of defense between the Kingdom of Nord and our Kingdom of Swadia. For such an important line of defense, if you are the king of the Kingdom of Nord, do you think you will

How many guards should be arranged? Our country in Swadia has been continuously expanded recently, which is a good thing, but in exchange it is a lack of troops on the unit land. Every time we conquer a place, we have to arrange soldiers to guard it. Now, we

There are not many soldiers left. You actually want us to use such precious military strength to attack the two most heavily defended castles in the Kingdom of Nord. What are your intentions?"

In addition to being the lord of Dehreim, this Aiyat is also the marshal of Svadia. Moreover, he is also the son of Count Clais who led the army to Jiantian Valley to encircle and annihilate Xie Feng.

Ever since Count Claes was buried without a body in Tiangu, the territory of Deherim has been inherited by Aiyat. In recent years, due to Aiyat's outstanding military capabilities, his status has continued to rise.

He was previously named Marshal of Swadia by Charlotte.

In addition, Aiyat's family has a feud with Julian's family. It can be said that the Aiyat family also contributed to the decline of Julian's family. Now Julian has also become a lord and is working hard to revive himself.

The family's former glory, as a feuding Aiyat, naturally has to be obstructed in every possible way.

In fact, Aiyat himself is a very upright person, who dares to love and hate, has no ambitions, and has extraordinary abilities. This is one of the reasons why Charlotte named Aiyat the marshal. However, Aiyat also has another reason.

One characteristic is loyalty to the family. He takes the interests of the family very seriously, sometimes even more than the interests of the country. Aiyat inherited the family's territory, the family's title, and the family's glory. At the same time, he also inherited

There is no gap between Aiyat and Julian, and they even admire each other privately. However, due to the distant family grudges, these two people who admire each other not only cannot cooperate seamlessly, but also fight side by side.

, but have to hinder each other.

Therefore, when Julian put forward his suggestion, Aiyat immediately pointed out the nonsense of the suggestion - of course, it is unknown whether Aiyat truly approved or opposed this suggestion in his heart.

Julian also seemed to expect that Aiyat would object, so he said: "Of course I know this, but actually, I didn't intend to ask the soldiers to really try their best to knock down these two castles."

Aiyat said: "Do you mean a feint attack? Although this suggestion is good, it will definitely be seen through. Anyone with a brain will know that it is impossible for Swadia to attack these two castles, so we

Once the army appears within the sight of these two castles, the soldiers will not only not be nervous, but will relax and eat, drink and have fun."
