Chapter 70: The Flames of Fire (7)
[New Reclamation Land]
[Fengshi City]
Compared with the Alliance Republics that are increasingly shrouded in the dark clouds of war, Maple Stone City, which is in the center of the storm, is a joyous scene.
No matter the streets and alleys, they are cleaned up; regardless of poverty or wealth, every household is decorated with lights and decorations.
The huge crisis that has always suppressed all the people of Fengshi City breathlessly - the rebels' "internal strife" has turned Fengshi City into white - was finally temporarily announced to be lifted.
Because Colonel Geisa Adonis returned from Jinghu County and brought the troops of Baishan County.
The entry of the Baishan County Army broke the overwhelming strength advantage of the Tiefeng County Army over Leiqun County and Bianjiang County Army, and immediately triggered a series of chain reactions.
If before that, Colonel Skur Mecklen had only dared to take the defensive against Winters Montane; then after receiving support from the White Mountain County Army, Colonel Skur had a bargaining chip.
Therefore, the days and nights when the Baishan County Military Banner just appeared outside Fengshi City were the most worried days for the people of Fengshi City.
People were afraid that Colonel Skur was impulsive and wanted to compete with the younger generations; they were also afraid that the blood wolf would go crazy, so they simply took the initiative.
So much so that it was obviously the busy farming season, but cars and horses were rarely arrived around Fengshi City, and pedestrians disappeared. The price of flour in the city rose three times a day, and every household locked the door, fearing that it would become a victim of the butcher's knife.
Fortunately, afterwards, those sleepless nights were actually dark before dawn.
To this day, the citizens of Fengshi City still do not know what magic power Colonel Geisa Adonis can easily eliminate the "differences" between the Tiefeng County Army and the Leiqun County and Bianjiang County Alliance.
With the return of Colonel Geisa, Colonel Skur, who had been retreating to Leiqun County, finally let go of his guard - at least on the surface - led Leiqun County and Bianjiang County troops back outside Fengshi City and "jointly camped" with Baishan County and Tiefeng County troops.
As a symbol of the "alliance" re-union, at the suggestion of Colonel Geisa, the troops of the four counties held a symbolic entry ceremony and made up for the victory celebration that had not been held.
Since the late General Adams and later Colonel Saner, who was in charge of Maple Stone City, recruited a large number of officers and soldiers from all walks of Maple Stone City, many of the prisoners captured by the coalition forces in the Battle of Hegu Village were actually from Maple Stone City.
Therefore, in order to avoid irritating the people of Fengshi City, the "captive parade" session in the city entry ceremony and victory celebrations of the coalition forces only showed the seized weapons, military flags and cannons.
After the trophy convoy, the military commanders of the four counties who were holding the coffin of Colonel Bod Gates: Colonel Geiss, Colonel Skur Mecklen, Lt. Col. Magash Korwin and Captain Winters Montane...
Finally, there is an infantry brigade and a cavalry squadron selected by the troops of each county.
Since the Battle of Hegu Village is a tragic victory for the troops of the other three counties, if the entire army enters the city and marches, they may be regarded as the loser, so all counties only sent symbolic soldiers.
When the entry ceremony was held, the Fengshi city residents who had not seen the true appearance of the Blood Wolf in person in the previous episode were rushed to see the Blood Wolf's style this time.
But it was Colonel Geis Adonis, who attracted the attention of the vast majority of people and was talked about the most afterwards.
The citizens talked about Colonel Geisa's non-existent hair and the horrifying disfigurement, making them out of strange origins and argued with each other because of the contradictions of different arguments.
So much so that the Fengshi City people and people from other places who did not watch the entry ceremony soon learned that there was a hairless colonel among the "rebels" with a terrifying face. Although he looked ugly, it was him who saved Fengshi City from the war.
Finally, the coalition's parade stopped at the cathedral in the center of Maple Stone City - this is also the real purpose of this entry ceremony.
The main hall was opened in the cathedral, and the bronze bell in the tower rang twelve times.
Amid the solemn bells, the trumpeter blew the last call to return to the camp, and Colonel Bode's coffin was buried in the tomb below the church.
The people of Fengshi City watched the grand funeral in a daze. They did not know who was buried, nor did they know why he was treated so well.
Afterwards, someone swore that he saw tears in the blood wolf's eyes.
But most people don’t believe it, because the blood wolf is a blood wolf, how could the blood wolf cry?
But some people say that the blood wolf may be sad.
As the heavy gate of the main hall of Maple Stone City Cathedral was closed again, the parade of the four-county coalition forces also ended.
The troops of the county that attended the ceremony were not taken out of the city, but directly entered the barracks in the city and officially took over the defense and public security of Fengshi City.
The military commanders of the four counties each took their own guards and moved into the officer's residence located in the city.
The sharp sword hanging above the heads of the people of Fengshi City was finally taken down, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, even the conspirators who were looking forward to "internal strife in the rebels" would not want to see the rebels fight at their doorstep.
The newly harvested summer grain was continuously transported into the city, and the price of flour fell to previous years' levels. Beermakers have begun to brew new year's nectar.
After a bloody battle, people finally enjoy a brief peace and peace.
In addition to the Maple Leaf Fort outside the city, there are also artillery roaring from time to time, and everything is moving in a good direction. In a trance, people seem to have returned to the "beautiful old time" that was once despised.
Except for Maple Leaf Castle.

[Fengshi City]
[Officers' residential area]
Although from the date of its establishment, there is almost no time to be full - until recently.
However, the Xinkendi Legion is still a legion in terms of organization and level. As the garrison of the Xinkendi Legion, Fengshi City is naturally built according to the specifications of the legion.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The garrisons of local counties are completely incomparable to them in terms of comfort and convenience.
Therefore, even the unlucky and frustrated people assigned to the Xinkendi Legion will try their best to stay in Fengshi City to avoid being assigned to the garrisons of various counties, or even being "spent" to a desolate town where birds do not shit to serve as garrisons.
The officer's residence located in Maple Stone City is naturally also a legion-level officer's residence.
However, due to the long-term lack of officers in the Xinkendi Legion, most of the officers' residences in Fengshi City are idle. Except for regular cleaning, there is almost no smell of living people.
It was not until a year ago that the late General Adams began to hire a large number of "Honorable Officers" and after the Maple Stone City mutiny, when Colonel Saner led the troops of the Kings Fort, the officer's residence in Maple Stone City was finally filled.
Furniture is added, wine cellar is filled, fire is cast in the fireplace, and fragrance is wafting out of the kitchen.
But today, they all changed their owners.
In the leisure room of the most luxurious one-family officer's apartment, a one-sided quarrel is happening.
"What are you...what are you thinking?" Colonel Skul Mecklen's face turned red, trembling from the corners of his clothes to the ends of his hair.
He walked back and forth in anger and asked Gaisa sternly: "What the hell are you thinking?!"
Colonel Geisa conscientiously inspected the wine cabinet of the former resident of the apartment and asked casually: "What do you think?"
"Why do we attack Bazenaur? Why do we attack [Gaspal]'s troops?" Colonel Skur felt heartbroken: "We just fought with the Kings Castle and were bleeding. At this time, we broke up with the Blue Blood Sect. Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Colonel Geisa took out a bottle of wine, glanced at it and put it back. After repeated several times, he found a bottle of wine of interest.
He poured Colonel Skul first, but was pushed away impatiently by the latter.
Geisa poured another cup of Lieutenant Colonel Magash Kolwin, who was standing against the windowsill, and the latter accepted with a smile.
Finally, Geisa poured himself a glass and took a small sip in comfort.
"Okay, the battle has been fought anyway, the city has been attacked, and I have captured Gaspal. I have done everything, and the responsibility is all on me."
Geisa Adonis unbuttoned the two buttons on the top of the military uniform, lay directly on the soft couch in the leisure room, leaned comfortably against the couch rail, stretched out his arms to surrender, and suggested with a very bachelor smile: "Otherwise, you tied it up for me and sent it to Jiangbei to apologize to that old guy Alpad. As long as you do it, I promise not to resist."
Colonel Skur was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table with anger, and the wine in the cup placed on the table popped out: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Look, aren't you still reluctant to let it go?" Colonel Geisa smiled and turned his head to look at Magash Kolwin: "Is it?"
Lieutenant Colonel Magash also nodded with a smile.
"Of course, Jinliujiang has been blocked now. Even if you are willing to do so, there must be a boat that can send me over." Colonel Geisa said sly, and then began to check the tobacco box on the coffee table: "Hmph, this old man Adams will enjoy it."
"Why?" Colonel Skur was almost crazy in the face of his old classmate's rogue behavior: "I'm asking why you do this?"
"Why?" Colonel Geisa pretended to be confused: "I thought I was most disgusted with the Blue Blood Sect. I don't want to continue to be a second-class person. I have to count my background, I am a member of the Blue Blood Sect. Even if I defect to Alpad, I will definitely live more comfortable than you."
Colonel Skur suddenly became silent.
After a moment of silence, Colonel Skur clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out his words little by little: "This is the situation, we must choose the side. I will never stand with the traitors, we can only choose Alpad."
"You are right." Colonel Geisa stood up, pressed Colonel Skur to his seat, and poured a glass of wine for the latter: "There are a group of villains and a group of traitors in the castle of the kings."
Immediately, Geisa poured himself another glass of wine, and after drinking it, he smashed the glass on the table, and said heavily: "But, even if I am considered a Blue Blood, I have to say that Alpad's men are also a bunch of bastards!"
His eyes were flashing with fire, first looking at Magash Kolwin, then at Skul Mecklen: "Why do we have to choose between them?"
Skul frowned tightly.
On the other side, Lieutenant Colonel Magash, who had not interrupted, coughed lightly and said politely: "Senior, I think the key is not why, but whether it can be. The new land may not be able to choose between the two."
"Korwin." Geisa laughed: "Thinking too much and thinking too far will never be done."
"You are here again, and you are talking crazy again." Colonel Skur returned to his usual state. He asked coldly: "You and I are not making decisions for ourselves, but for thousands of people. How can we not think too much? How can we not make long-term plans? But you, have you ever thought about what to do next?"
"Next." Gaisa gently shook the golden wine in the glass: "With the great loss of the strength of the Kings Castle, we must take the initiative to fight."
"Fight, can you fight, where? Can you fight to the Kings Fort? With our current strength, can you fight?" Skur continued to ask without mercy: "The vanguard of the United Provincial People has already entered the Kings Fort, and the subsequent troops will continue to drive over. Without General Alpad's support and restraint, can we deal with them?"
"Okay, okay, okay. I'm not as thoughtful as you, and think long-term." Geisa patted her naked head and waved her hand like surrendering: "Let's take one step at a time, and you can beat it. You have to know if you can beat it. As long as we have an army in our hands, you will always have a chance if you want to negotiate."
Geisa turned to look at Magash Kolwin and asked with a smile: "Do you think it's? Kolwin."
"I agree with you." Lieutenant Colonel Magash smiled and nodded and looked at the other colonel: "So, Senior Skur, the most important thing for us right now is to restore the combat power of the army and form more troops to deal with possible future wars."
After a pause, Lieutenant Colonel Magash said tactfully: "So we must reach an agreement with Captain Winters Montagne as soon as possible on the distribution of the loot. We need the storage of Maple Stone City, and now we need it."
"Yes!" Geisa slapped her thigh happily, stood up suddenly, slapped the table hard, and said loudly: "Korwin said it was on the tip of the knife!"
Colonel Skur was stunned by the fright and subconsciously leaned back and avoided.
Geisa Adonis stepped forward to the old classmate, and his strong figure almost covered the latter. He grabbed the latter's shoulder and said righteously: "If you want me to say, you have the intention to get angry at me, why not go and see what Winters Montagne is doing. That brat, who could kill us all, but did not take action; he could swallow all the war preparations in Fengshi City, but he didn't say anything; he was qualified to live in the school official's apartment, but look at him, he still moved into a lieutenant's apartment."
Colonel Skur was said to be ill and his brows were unconsciously tightened.
