The Titan Empire: The Game of Power

Volume 8, Chapter 6

Mura nodded, “Let's talk about it after winning this game!"But I want to put the ugly things first. If you lose, don't want to hang out in my division. I will write to your father and let him personally beat your ass.”

The little warrior glanced at the sniper sent by the snow Lion. He knew exactly how many catties he had, “Division commander, don't worry, if I lose, I will go home and plead guilty by myself!"”

Finally, a warrior dared to accept the challenge. When the young warrior stepped into the temporary arena, the Red Tiger let out a sky-shattering cheer.

“Steinbergville?"The young man asked Mura.“Is it famous?But I have never heard of this family.”

“Your Highness, how much do you know about the Northwest Frontier of the empire?"Mura didn't answer, he asked the young man another question.

“Northwest of the Empire?It is said that conflicts with the Germans often broke out there.”

“That's right!But that was a long time ago. The Germans and Italians have been fighting against the Russians in their kingdom. It has been a long time since war broke out on our Northwest Frontier.”

“Does this have anything to do with the Steinbergville family?”

“Of course, the province of Hausenk on the Northwest Frontier is the hereditary territory of the Steinbergville family. Just like the role of our Anlu, their territory is the forefront of the empire's resistance to the Germans and Italians.The family crest of the Steinbergville family is double swords and bows and arrows. This is also a family with a long history of fighting, but their fighters have not fought for a long time, so these generations of Steinbergville people have come to serve in the Narcissus Knights.”

Just when Mura and the prince were talking about Steinbergville, the little son of the family had already opened his leather bag for storing bows and arrows.Originally, the mountain sniper still had a little contempt for such a half-year-old child, but when he saw the contents of the Red tiger warrior's quiver, he felt that he had to deal with it very carefully.

“I am Sergeant Wellington of the Red Tiger Assault Division. I would like to ask you for advice.”The little soldier gave a military salute.

The big man of the snow Lion didn't say anything after returning the salute, he jumped on the back of his horse.“Start!”

A soldier kicked the horse carrying the straw knight fiercely, and the poor horse ran into the woodland in the mountains after screaming.

“Won't you get on the horse?"The Snow Lion archer was very surprised, he saw the little warrior standing in place neatly.

“Please first!”

The snow lion archer chased the war horse, and the camp on his side broke out with enthusiastic cheers.

Wellington.Steinbergville ignored the discussion in the Red Tiger camp. Four bows were neatly discharged from his leather pouch, and he took out the heaviest and largest one.

Wellington picked another fine carved arrow with a length of nearly one and a half meters. This arrow has a very strong wind resistance, but its quasi-head is extremely difficult to control.

The little son of the Steinbergville family threw a silk handkerchief into the air, and he felt every bit of power that the airflow in the air brought to the handkerchief.

“It's a very light southeast wind, but there will be turbulence in the mountains, and there will be rapid back and forth in the upper wind.”The warrior judged like this.

The war horse was galloping in the mountains, and people at the foot of the mountain could only see its figure in the gap between the woods. In an exclamation, the little Red tiger warrior opened his heavy sniper bow in place.

Mura laughed, this little guy really has confidence in himself.

“The wind!Steinbergville, who serves you, is praying to you, riding on your divine wings, bringing arrows full of honor and belief in victory to the target!”The little warrior prayed softly, and suddenly, the war horse flashed by in the mountains and forests, the warrior suddenly loosened the bowstring, and the fine carved arrow crossed a beautiful arc in the air!"This bright arc turned into a little light, and the light disappeared into the dense forest on the hillside in just a flash.

The knights quickly drove back the horses that had rushed into the mountains and forests, but they had already come out, Wellington.Sergeant Steinbergville's fine carved arrow pierced the gap between the straw knight's helmet and back armor and penetrated his throat.

“You did what I couldn't do!I admit defeat!”Although the warrior of the Snow Lion couldn't believe that this little guy who seemed to be underage could shoot such a magical arrow, the facts were in front of him, and he was convinced.

The knights of the red Tiger rushed into the open space, they threw the little warrior high and cheered loudly.That was indeed a wonderful arrow!Distinguish moving targets in the dense mountains and forests, and under the action of wind speed and wind, send a thin arrow of carved feathers into the enemy's throat 400 meters away.If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, no one would believe it!

“Camille!How about a discussion?"Shaw, head of the Red Tiger Rangers.Lieutenant Colonel Sean Stein's saliva was almost dripping on his chin.

“No, there is no need to discuss it!"Camille could see at a glance what this guy was up to.“The military commander conscripted him into my regiment. If you have any opinions, go and ask the conscripted officer!”

“Why are you like this?”Shore.Sean Stein was a little anxious, “That kid was born to be a ranger, you ruined his future like this!"”

“No!You have never seen him use a double knife, that is his destination, besides, my fighting group also needs such a sniper!”

“Look!You guy is still playing his bow and arrow idea, I won't agree!He was born for Rangers!”

“Wrong!He is a fighting knight.”

“No way!He is a ranger!The child himself said that.”

“No!He was drafted into the fighting group, and the child himself accepted it!”

…...finally……

“Sergeant!Come to my tabernacle. Your victory has won you back a glass of oatmeal and a new appointment. Would you mind being my messenger?”His Royal Highness said so.

As a result, the head of the fighting team and the head of the rangers both became eggplants beaten by frost.

On September 17, 791 in the bright calendar of the Sacred Titan Empire, the Bulalig Fortress, the largest bunker in the southern territory of the Titan Empire, put on a festive costume.

The two respected members of the royal family made the entire fortress boil. The Royal Highness held the scepter given by the emperor, which showed that His Majesty the Great Alpha III was in person at the fortress.

Eugene, commander-in-chief of the Southern Army Group.Mu.Admiral Bralig used a week to renovate several famous landscapes in Sene, including the 21-meter-high statue of the God of Light and the Midali Palace, which is used to receive royal visits.

The Princess and His Royal Highness passed through the south gate of the fortress on time at 10 o'clock in the morning. Admiral Eugene led the heads of various departments of the Southern Military Region to attend the welcome ceremony.The whole ceremony can be said to have nothing to criticize, but Her Royal Highness Princess Alenis was keenly aware of the strange look that permeated the faces of the senior generals of the southern army. She knew that her father's great purge had swept the entire southern mountains with thunder, and she believed that at least half of the generals who welcomed her had attended the frequently held military review courts.

But the princess didn't take this to heart at all. She was violated by a group of Italian mercenaries. Isn't this a shame?Then the Southern Military Region stationed here will naturally have to pay a price, maybe it is a good idea to put all these derelict guys in Domorga.

His Royal Highness is obviously interested in that Eugene.Mu.Admiral Bralig was full of interest. He followed General Eugene like a child, and asked him all kinds of military questions seriously.

General Eugene was obviously a little puzzled by the enthusiasm of this half-sized son, but the admiral thought it was a suggestion from the prince's father.For the Anlu clan, Eugene.Mu.Admiral Bralig is full of pious respect. When he was young, he not only served in the Knights of Narcissus, but also accepted the Cavalry Warrior Medal from the Duke of Anlu at the time. This medal has always been treasured by the general in his study. Compared with the medals awarded to him by the Imperial Army later, only Anlu's medal can affirm his value and significance as a soldier.

The next step was a grand welcome reception, in which there was also an episode.The master of the Snow Lion in the Seventh District did not originally plan to attend, because he knew that everyone who came in and out of the Midali Palace had titles and ancient aristocratic surnames, but His Royal Highness did not think so. He invited the Snow Lion master to the reception with his wife in public, and as his own VIP.

The former Marquise de Bragg is now Hayek.Mrs. Burundi, although she married a commoner, she did not regret it. On the contrary, she was proud of her husband, so when the prince formally invited the couple, the commoner's wife agreed very readily, because she felt it was necessary to remind her husband that the so-called gentlemen who shuttled through the reception palace were actually not so noble.

Eugene.Mu.Admiral Bralig was completely confused. He didn't know if this was the behest of the Anlu family or the interest of the little prince. If this child simply admired Hayek's character, it would be fine. If he had any other purpose... The admiral couldn't guess.

The princess is naturally the protagonist of the cocktail party. Alenis is sometimes solemn and elegant, sometimes passionate and unrestrained. Her eyes are shining with shy but cautious light, and her limbs show noble and difficult to find but criminal dance skills.

The young people were crazy for the princess. They packed up the military uniforms inlaid with flowers and medals to shine with gold. They bowed down under the princess's skirt piously and begged Her Royal Highness in the most humble words to give her the opportunity to dance with them. A song.

The older people gathered together, and the cheerful dance music on the dance floor was not suitable for them. Besides, the princess was just showing off some ingenuity.The princesses of the whole world have been educated to look like them, from their behavior and manners to their thoughts and experiences.

His Royal Highness left Alenis alone on the dance floor to deal with the scene. He knew that Alenis was enjoying it. She was a princess, and the life of a princess should be like this.The prince has his own business to do. He wants to protect little Sasha from being harassed by self-righteous guys, and he also wants to protect Antonie.Countess Homan was not taken advantage of by a thick-skinned and courageous little white face.

Hayek.Lieutenant Colonel Burundian will not be as uncomfortable as before. He and his wife are sitting next to His Royal Highness. The lieutenant colonel introduced many generals of the Southern Military Region to the young man. Of course, the ones he introduced are excellent officers with real talents and real learning, but the arrogant and confused guy didn't notice the prince at all. They were busy courting the princess.

However, at the end of the cheerful and pleasant cocktail party, under the order of the commander-in-chief, the generals of the Southern Military Region lined up and withdrew from the Midali Palace like an exercise. His Royal Highness Prince Osne was a little speechless. He didn't know that the guys who were dancing like a group of demons on the dance floor just now could still show such a disciplined side, but it can be seen from this point. Eugene.Mu.Admiral Bralig's prestige and restraint in the Southern Military Region.

It's time to do something serious!After the reception, His Royal Highness was invited into a spacious reception room. There were only four adults sitting with him, including Admiral Eugene, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region, and Dario, the chief of staff of the Southern Army Group.Admiral Gonzalez, and then the Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs Difi.Marquis Lemus, the last adult is Viscount Gefeng from the Royal Secretariat. Although this adult is not of high rank, he brought the will of His Majesty the Emperor.

Oscar spoke kindly with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Di Fei.The Marquis of Lemus met. It turned out that the old diplomat who had just celebrated his 60th birthday suffered from a serious intestinal disease, so he did not attend the reception just now.

When the guests and hosts took their seats, the conversation immediately turned to the topic, but to Oscar's surprise, the coordination between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Southern Military Region was actually a military operation against the Kingdom of Ilya.

“That's right!His Majesty the Emperor approved the military operation plan submitted by the Southern Group. This is a secret order."Viscount Gefeng, who came from the Royal Secretariat, took out a document from the chest pocket of his jacket, and he handed the document to Admiral Eugene.

After Admiral Eugene unfolded the document, he read it blankly, “Approve the military operations to be launched by the Southern Army Group in the Kingdom of Italy, and related matters will be handled jointly by the Imperial Army and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.The Southern Army Group can execute as soon as possible after receiving the operation code sent back by the military Department.The payment is the only Suri of the Titan Empire.Alpha.The signature and seal of Emperor Morisset III.”

After reading the secret order, Admiral Eugene handed the document to his chief of staff.

“Wait!wait!”This young man really couldn't help it.“Mr. General, with all due respect, can you explain it to me?What do the military operations and operation codes you mentioned just now refer to?”

Admiral Eugene looked at the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and saw that the old diplomat nodded lightly. Obviously, this matter does not need to be kept secret from His Royal Highness.

“That is a necessary part of the implementation of military operations by local military regions. After we have formulated the battle plan, we must submit it to the Imperial Military Department for review. After the military department reviews it, it will be submitted to His Majesty the Emperor. After considering it, His Majesty the Emperor will issue a resolution to use force to the military department, and the military department will send back the operation code to the specific military region performing the task. With the emperor's resolution and the military department's operation code, we can only send troops. It is illegal to lack one of the two.So......”

“No!"Oscar shook his head, “Your Excellency, you misunderstood what I meant. I mean, I came here to welcome the visiting delegation of the Italian royal family, and it seems that you are to launch a military attack on Ilia."”

“Yes, His Royal Highness!"Admiral Eugene nodded affirmatively.

Oscar was a little annoyed, “Since you are ready to launch an offensive, why do you want me to be the imperial minister?"”

Minister of Foreign Affairs Difei.The Marquis of Lemus pressed his stomach with his hand, and it hurt again!“Your Highness, although this is the arrangement of His Majesty the Emperor, I...I don't mind explaining it to you.”

The young man looked at the old marquis sadly, he felt that he had been fooled!

“You are surprised because you are too young and you still don't know the connection between foreign affairs and the military.You know, politicians have made incisive discussions about this as early as the mythical era. Only with military victory can there be victory in foreign exchanges. If we do not take any action, the Ilyas will not bow their heads easily. .”

Oscar understood this, he was just a little disgusted with the emperor's practice of making himself smile at the opponent in the military offensive.

“So that means we need to put further pressure on Ilya militarily?"Oscar asked Admiral Eugene.

“Yes, I have prepared all the troops that will be put into battle!”

“Just because the princess and I were attacked by the Ilyas?”

“That's right!"Admiral Eugene nodded again.

“You may still not know the meaning.”The old diplomat poured a handful of pills into his mouth as he said, “The master of the Titans cannot be violated in any way. This is not only a matter of the dignity of the Morissette royal family, but also a matter of the national interests of the Titan Empire."”

“Yes, I understand this, but I mean, in addition to regaining face for the Morissette royal family, does the military operation against Ilia have any other meaning?Can we get any real benefits from the offense?For example...for example, territory, war reparations, etc.”

“Of course Your Highness!”Difei.The Marquis of Lemus nodded, “Since ancient times, all wars have been for gain, but the premise is that you have to win, as long as you win, then Your Highness, what you just said is not a problem.”

“But I still have some concerns. The attack on me and Her Royal Highness has been proved to be the work of a conspirator, but I believe that the investigation by the Secret Service has not made any progress, so I think any of our actions at this time are rash. Maybe what we are doing today is exactly the trick of that conspirator."Oscar expressed his worries.

Sure enough, Difei.The Marquis of Lemus and the two heads of the southern army quickly exchanged a wink. Neither of them expected the little prince to talk about such a far-reaching place.

“Sorry, your Highness, although your guess is very reasonable, but...you should understand that I am only responsible for foreign affairs, while the two generals are in charge of the southern army, and the Secret Service is responsible for dealing with the conspiracy, but before the Secret Service does not give us specific information for reference, we can only deal with the problem according to the way of thinking of our own department.”

Oscar was silent for a long time, and he understood that the operations of various departments of the empire followed their own trajectories, and only under clear intervention could they influence each other.The investigation of the Secret Service was deadlocked, which showed that the military had to bite the bullet and move forward knowing that there might be a trap ahead.

For the first time!The importance of intelligence work is so deeply imprinted in the boy's mind that he has even begun to look forward to joining the so-called military intelligence Service.

Oscar was no longer in doubt, besides, the emperor had even issued a resolution, then everything was a foregone conclusion.“Well then!I went to the royal family of Dalia to see if they were as shrewd as the legend said.”

“Hehe, Your Highness, I will accompany you!”Difei.The Marquis of Lemus laughed. He felt that this young man was really a bit simple. How could the Titan Empire let a completely inexperienced half-year-old child serve as foreign minister? He was just wearing the prince's hat as a standard of reception. That's it.

“Oh?Is that so?That's great!"Oscar is sincerely happy,“This way I will be much easier, and I know that His Excellency the Marquis is the best foreign affairs expert in the Empire. I really hope I can learn something from you."”

Difei.Lemus also smiled. Although the compliment of a young man did not make him feel high, the identity of the young man made him have to make an extremely honored expression.

“Your Highness, you are too polite, and I have to trouble you to take care of my old bones!"We just help each other.”

Oscar leaned slightly to salute the old marquis, but in his opinion, this old guy was mostly what Ritchie called a diplomatic liar. He greeted people with a smile and praised peace and friendship, while planning an aggressive offensive with the generals of the army.But people will change, I believe in the future Osne.Anlu.When Morisset did deception and aggression more thoroughly than anyone else, he would never remember that he had shown contempt for this practice in a reception room in the Bulalig Fortress.

“So at the end of the conversation, General Eugene, can you let me know when the military department sends back the code name of the operation of the Southern Army Group?Did you know?I am very curious about this code name!”

Admiral Eugene laughed. This prince is definitely still a child, and all he cares about is irrelevant things.

Dario, Chief of Staff of the Southern Army Group.Admiral Gonzalez took out a piece of paper from his arms, “Your Highness, the express from the military department arrived two days earlier than Viscount Gefeng. You can take a look, but don't read it out. Everything represented by this code name is the top secret of the Empire.”

Oscar accepted the file excitedly, as if he was going to the battlefield.

The secret order of the Imperial Military Department is just a piece of ordinary kraft paper, there is no modification on it, and all His Royal Highness sees is a few words.

“The spring of Bralig.”

“Seriously, I like this name!"Oscar shook the document in his hand. It was also the first time that this light and thin piece of paper gave the prince an illusion. Maybe...war is so simple!"

The tower on the north wall of the Bulalig Fortress is the commanding heights of the entire city.Due to the long-term peace, this building used to observe the enemy has been renovated into an elegant annex, and the arched windows around the tower have also been expanded into spacious balconies.After the afternoon game, His Royal Highness successfully won the right to live in this annex from the commander of the Bulalig City Defense.

Standing on the balcony, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Bralig. The streets and alleys in the city still maintain the traditional ancient style, and the narrow stone roads cut the city into countless sporadic small pieces.

The sunset in the west is burning violently, and the colorful sunset cast by the sun is constantly flowing over the city like a torrent.The tall back of the southern mountains stood faintly at the far end of the fortress, and the clouds slowly paced over from the other side of the mountains, and soon they moved to the other side of the sky like being scalded by the red sun.The harrier eagle flying from the mountains circled back and forth over the city. It drove away the birds and stunned a fat pigeon with its solid wings. The mountain eagle stopped on the eaves of a tall building and began to peck at its dinner.

The soldiers in the corridor of the city wall have tied their spears with flags that symbolize the Bulalig City Defense Force. This is a move that the army will only make when welcoming VIPs. These flags are flying quietly on the heads of every soldier at this time. .The soldiers faithfully guarded their respective watchtowers.Their eyes were deep, but they seemed to have no focal length.Peace has been for too long, and now only the erosion of wind and rain is the enemy of the Bulalig Fortress.

The residents of the city didn't seem to be excited about the arrival of the princess and prince, in fact, some of them didn't even know about it.Three meals a day is troublesome enough, and no one wants to waste their energy on admiring big people.

The fun of the little people is like the fireworks of the evening meal. Looking down from the balcony of the tower, the entire Bralig is addicted to the time composed of spices and cooking.

This is not the fun of big people. Those tall official residences are lit with soft lights, and the stylishly dressed ladies are gathered together. They enthusiastically discuss each other's jewelry and a new noble son in the city; the gentlemen's wine glasses are flashing with all kinds of halos. They are talking about women, but these women are not their wives.Of course, there are still times when men talk about politics. For example, a baron married his youngest daughter to an old man with superior property and rank; the ladies despised it endlessly. A certain woman seduced her husband, which would cause all the ladies to be unanimously indignant.

The prince stood alone on the balcony and blew the wind. His entourage were gone. I heard that he was going to the city to find flowers and ask questions.The young man blessed several prisoners, hoping that they could find a b***h who looked first-class and didn't have any infectious diseases on her body.

Her Royal Highness went to the banquet, which was arranged by the local chief executives of the three southern provinces.The prince also had the same invitation, but he threw it into the toilet.Little sister and Annie seem to have been invited by an extremely noble lady in the city to be guests. When Sasha saw that her brother had pushed off the official banquet, she encouraged her brother to go with her, but she was told that the lady invited all female relatives.

Only Paul was still guarding his post, and he was sitting on a sofa less than ten steps away from the little prince.

“Little Oscar!Blizzard shook the booklet in his hand, “This is a fragment, given to me by Mura. It is said to have been handed down from the age of mythology. Its discussion of war is very incisive."”

Oscar retracted his gaze from the distant void, “Let's talk about it.”

The King of Killers cleared his throat.

“War is an act of violence that forces the enemy to obey our will. It is a way for mankind to extend violence to the maximum extent. This kind of violence is extremely insignificant under the restrictions of human laws and regulations.It always arises in a certain political situation, and can only be caused by a certain political motivation.When the goals of a country or an interest group cannot be obtained through ordinary means, the ultimate political means of war will gladly appear on the stage of history.When the violence of war spreads, the human world will become a society without philosophy, and the human heart will continue to expand with the growth of desire until the enemy is defeated or defeated by the enemy.”
