Four hundred and thirtieth IX Lemir (10)
At this time, there were many people crowding in front of the gate of St. Ska Cathedral: inside were several guard squads confronting the church priest led by Thorins, and around them were a lot of people watching the fun.
Just when the situation was in a stalemate, a carriage marked with the badge of the Guards drove in. A girl in a palace maid's uniform walked off the carriage. She looked around and observed the environment before saying to the carriage: "Master, you have arrived."
When Thorins saw this carriage, he felt something was wrong. When he secretly prayed that things would not go in the worst direction, things really went in the worst direction.
The queen of the Gemini Kingdom, Danica, Fengyu walked down from the carriage, followed by Emily, the commander of the Guards.
After seeing Danica, Thorins's face became ugly and even pale. Since he was sent to such a complex and changeable place to serve as a church priest, Thorins still has some political ability and insight, and what he least wants to see is the appearance of Danica.
It has been several years since he came to the Gemini Kingdom. Thorins clearly realized that the Gemini Queen Danica was ruling the kingdom with terror and majesty. There is no way. In such a country with concentrated royal power, if the king does not have enough majesty, the entire kingdom will be in chaos. Moreover, according to Thorins' observation, the Gemini Queen also knew this very well, including a series of measures involving rebellion as a death sentence, which was to maintain the majesty of the royal power. This brought about a consequence. Danica would never show any weakness in public. Of course, politics must be compromised, but she would only carry it in private.
The specific thing is now: If the priest from the Saint Cathedral comes to coordinate this matter, it means that the Gemini Kingdom will make great compromises and concessions, and they do not want to make this matter bigger; if the kingdom comes at the top, then the matter will be in a political dispute and will not end in a few months, and the final result will depend on the direction of the situation; but if Her Majesty the Queen comes here in person, it is obvious that the Gemini Kingdom will handle this matter with the toughest attitude. Considering the iron-blooded queen's style of conduct, Thorins even worried that he could go back intact, and maybe lose his arm or something.
Sure enough, Danica got off the carriage and walked straight to Thorins, and said coldly: "The Holy See of Light insisted on sheltering our sinners?"
Thorins' heart pounded, and the majestic oppression of the legendary queen made his lips pale, and she opened her mouth to raise this matter to the heights of the Holy See and the Gemini Kingdom. No matter how bold Thorins is, he dare not talk nonsense.
Just as Thorins was thinking about how to answer this dangerous question without making any mistakes, Danica was impatient. She glanced at Thorins and said, "Since the Holy See insistence on this, I think the Holy See is provoking the Gemini Kingdom. For this reason, I declare that from now on, the Gemini Kingdom and the Holy See will be in a state of war."
Thorins looked at Danica in amazement and declared war! She was declaring war! Why did things suddenly develop to this point? Thorins forced a ugly smile and said, "Her Majesty, I think there may be a misunderstanding in this, I..."
Thorins was trying hard to explain, but Danica obviously did not have the patience to listen. She asked to the side: "Which deputy commander of the military headquarters is in Twin Cities?"
At this time, Emily was also shocked. What happened? Suddenly they were about to fight with the Holy See of Light? Shouldn’t such a thing be studied and discussed in detail? Why did the master make a decision so easily?
Danica's question Emily didn't react for a moment. She was stunned for a moment before answering: "Linna is in the Twin Cities now." In the military headquarters, Linna is mainly responsible for logistics work. This time she came back from the front line of the Anti-Damage Battle to escort a batch of important supplies. The other deputy commanders of the military headquarters are still on the front line of the Anti-Damage Battle.
Danica thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then let her, convey my order, and let Lina lead a hundred thousand troops to capture three cities: Riel, Locke and Sannka."
The central plains in which the Gemini Kingdom is located and the main sphere of influence of the Holy See of Light, the eastern region is bounded by the Kadina River, which runs north and south through the entire Katica continent. Although the Kadina River is known as the two long rivers of the Katica continent, the biggest difference is that compared with the relatively gentle water flow and suitable for navigation, the Kadina River has a steep water level, which is good for diversion and irrigation, but it is not possible when it comes to water transportation. Of course, as a large water vein that runs across the continent, there are still several suitable places for crossing. Considering military factors, the Riel Ferry is the best military gate. The three cities that Danica mentioned are the key to guarding the east and west sides of the Riel Ferry.
These three cities belong to the Principality of Riel, which borders the western border of the Gemini Kingdom, and Riel is a loyal follower of the Vatican of Light. In other words, such an important military juncture is completely under the control of the Vatican of Light. For a long time, the Gemini Kingdom has been very uneasy about this. Now, it seems that Danica wants to take this opportunity to completely solve this hidden danger.
"Ah? Yes, yes!" Emily replied in a panic.
"You can't do this, you can't do this!" Thorins shouted.
But Danica didn't care about him at all. She just glanced at the San Ska Cathedral and said, "As for this, there is no one in this church left." After that, she returned to the carriage.
This time Emily reacted very quickly. She walked up quickly, pulled out the sword that Philis gave her, cut off Thorins, who was still in shock and stunned, then waved her hand and ordered: "Do it!"
"Yes!" the guards responded in unison and rushed into the Cathedral of Saint Scah after their commander.
On the carriage, Phyllis asked with some dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? Don't forget that we are still fighting against the demons with the Holy See of Light."
Danica said dismissively: "It's just nominal."
Phyllis gave her a blank look and said, "Isn't it enough in name? You are so chasing like this to betray the congregation."
Danica smiled and said, "Is that so? Who would betray? You, Tyran, or Lucia? The most likely one is Lucia, but the bigger thing that guy might be watching the fun beside him."
"There is more than one Lucia in the Beast Clan." Phyllis reminded solemnly.
Danica still said in a relaxed and casual tone: "Who else is there except Lucia? Are you talking about Guyle? They are busy securing space now and have no time to pay attention to us."
Phyllis looked at Danica deeply and said, "You will offend the middle council to death like this. Don't forget that they are the real rulers of this world. It is not a wise choice for you to do this."
"Don't worry, there will be no problem, the situation is still under control." Danica said confidently.
Phyllis looked at Danica strangely. Her friend was not a blind and confident person, but she really couldn't think of how Danica could also calculate the Central Council into her plan, and how could she escape the thundering method after the Central Council's return.
"Okay, let's relax, we have a lot to deal with next!" Danica comforted seeing Phyllis frowning.
...
The sudden attack of the Gemini Kingdom caught the Duchy of Reil and the Holy See of Light off guard. Although Danica declared war, Thorins and the others were killed by the Guards, and the so-called declaration of war was not conveyed at all.
In the military headquarters, Lina has always been famous for her conservative and stable style, but this time she was temporarily assigned to her, she showed strength and decisiveness. After five days, Lina used the developed strait system in the Gemini Kingdom to send 100,000 troops to the western border of the kingdom, not far from the Riel Ferry. She was very bold and did not do any rest. After three days of rapid march, the army arrived at the city of Ruiel. At this time, dozens of soldiers were exhausted because of such high-intensity march. Even when the soldiers were depressed and their physical exhaust was about to reach their limit, Lina still ordered an attack immediately.
In the report written to Danica after the war, Lina emphasized: Although the soldiers in the Gemini Kingdom were in poor condition at that time, it was still very likely to break through the city of Riel, which was not too late to defend. On the contrary, if the soldiers were allowed to rest, even if they were only resting for a long time, the Principality of Riel could be prepared for defensive preparations. Even if this so-called defensive preparation is simple and rough, as the offensive side, especially the attacking side in the siege battle, the Gemini Kingdom still needs to make a lot of sacrifices to seize the city.
Facts proved that Lina's judgment was correct. After conquering Clark City, the entire military command system of the Principality of Riel was completely paralyzed. They were loyal to the royal family and had no idea of their life and death. The command system of the army collapsed directly and could only make some sporadic resistance. In the end, in just half a month, Lina led an army of 100,000 to occupy the entire Principality of Riel.
"This is a report on this military operation." Emily submitted a report.
According to the practice of the Gemini Kingdom, all military and military operations must be accompanied by guards. Without the consent of Danica and Emily, the military headquarters cannot command them, and at the same time they have no right to interfere in the decision-making of battlefield command. The main job of these guards is to record, and for this reason, they have the right to know all military plans. After the war, in addition to the reports submitted by the military headquarters, these guards accompanying the army will also write everything they know and submit it in a report.
"A large plunder of soldiers?" Danica looked around briefly and frowned. It seemed that she was very dissatisfied with this place.
Emily also helped explain: "It's true, because of the continuous high-intensity marching and fierce fighting, the soldiers were in a very mental state... Well, it was not very good. Commander Lina was worried that something would go wrong, so she let the soldiers vent her vent."
Emily's words were already very tactful. To put it bluntly, it was because the army had already shown signs of mutiny, and it was forced that Lina made the decision to violate the military regulations.
In Emily's view, although Lina's decisions violated military discipline, it is understandable. In such a cruel world, a huge plunder after breaking the city is a completely common phenomenon and a common means to inspire morale. Only in the Gemini Kingdom, which has extremely strict requirements for military discipline, can this behavior be characterized as a violation of discipline.
Hearing Emily's meaning, Danica sneered, threw the report on the table, and said, "So the military discipline I have set is for you to find reasons to destroy it?"
The master seemed to be really angry. This thought flashed through Emily's mind. She quickly lowered her head and said, "I dare not, I dare not!"
"The rules I set are for you to abide by, not for you to play the kind of military orders that will not be subject to foreign military orders." Danica said coldly.
"Yes, yes." Emily said with her head down.
Danica looked at Emily and ordered: "Linna is suspected of disobeying military discipline. You can lead the team yourself and arrest Linna and lock it up in the dungeon of your guards, so that she can reflect. The occupation of the Principality of Riel is presided over by her adjutant. A defense line will be established as soon as possible and ready to welcome the counterattack of the Holy See of Light."
"Yes." Emily responded.
Danica's operation is completely incomprehensible. As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while experts look at the tricks. For "insiders" like Aishi and Catherine, they will never believe that Danica made the decision to send troops to Riel. The most basic thing is that Danica will never know which deputy commander is in the Twin Cities. The military headquarters that controls all the military forces of the Gemini Kingdom has always been under the strict surveillance of Danica. Not to mention the deputy commander, all the senior officers of the military headquarters are doing, these Danica know exactly where and what they are doing. People in the military headquarters also know their importance and specialty.
Different, so these senior officers will take the initiative to report whatever they do to reduce the suspicion of the suspicious queen. Therefore, this time the army led by Lina to attack the Principality of Rheer was definitely designed by Danica, and Lina's behavior seemed to verify this. People who are familiar with the military can clearly see that although Lina's troops were urgently transferred from the military base camp, the entire marching plan was smooth and everything was arranged clearly. This was definitely done in detail. Therefore, Katherine seriously suspected that Lina had been instructed before and formulated a detailed plan.
It turns out that Lina has done a good job in this mission and quickly occupied the Principality of Riel with extremely slight losses. This is definitely a beautiful action. Catherine and the others have almost seen a rising star in the military.
As a result, Lina was arrested at this moment.
