Chapter 1135 (1/2)
Eboden coast, early morning.
The spring sunshine turns the cold sea water into golden waves. With bursts of Eagle horn, another warship flying the Azores flag berths in the elegant coastline port of eboden.
There are many simple docks built of logs and bricks for ships to dock and more than a dozen stone roads connected with Chengmen Avenue on the originally panoramic beach.
As for the original wall facing the port, it was almost completely demolished, leaving only the original towers and fortresses; All the building materials were transported to the coast and turned into warehouses, docks, observation towers and various port facilities.
The castle, the eboden dock and the big warehouse that were destroyed in the war and across the river from eboden... The elves repaired all the port facilities in only one winter, and there were more ”Azores style”.
Moreover, today's port of eboden is even more lively than any previous generation.
Thousands of warriors lined up in a loose but neat queue, left the warships and set foot on the shore of Shanghai, converging like a trickle along the stone path to the city gate;
By the dock, Elven soldiers wearing only thin vests dragged rough ropes and shouted neat bugles to drag the warships into the harbor;
The elves carrying shelves, lifting trailers and holding slings constantly unload wooden boxes filled with goods from warships entering the port, transport them to trailers, push them along the wooden rails on the wharf, and quickly run to small warehouses near the wharf; Then the next batch of elves are responsible for transferring them from the small warehouse to the distribution warehouse at the gate of the city, and then transported to the city and repeated;
After being transported to the dock, some of the warships had already been sent to their hometown, some searched and looted materials as much as possible along the gem River and the coastline of the Empire, and some were disassembled and turned into building materials for the construction of docks, ports and various facilities in the city;
Relying on the original reserves in eboden city and the logistical supplies of the ocean fleet, several large-scale robberies in eastern and Western Saxony and the imperial coastline... At this time, the materials in eboden city have been filled to the point of lacking everything. Even if it is completely blocked by the Empire, it can still maintain a stable supply temporarily;
The original ruins like city has become a ”military camp” of cross roads and large and small brick and wood houses - a training ground, central square, camping, restaurants, canals, sewage canals... A city where thousands of noble wizards and tens of thousands of poor people live. After arranging the space as reasonably as possible, it is enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of Azores.
The Azores did not stop here. What they wanted was not just a gathering place to settle down, but a brand-new capital of the Azores Kingdom... Even under the premise of scarce materials and tight land use, they still built the eagle court with the original eboden parliament as the core.
The towering five fold castle, the octagonal three fold viewing tower of the castle, the colonnade red wall built around the city, the pond courtyard with red leaves flying... The eagle king court built in full compliance with the specifications of the native land shows the great ambition of the Azores, vowing to rebuild their kingdom on this land and raise the flag of Azores.
Eboden, this is the beginning of ambition.
The bottom of the royal court hides the darkest corner of ambition.
The thick and cold stone wall was pasted with exquisite wood decoration, hung with bright fluorite chandeliers, tables, chairs and tea tables, and made use of the ingenious drainage technology of the Azores to turn the originally cold and humid underground space into a cool and pleasant living room.
The only thing that can't be changed is the dead silence.
After retreating to eboden, the elf Prince began to like this carefully built underground living room - the extremely quiet atmosphere and slightly depressed atmosphere, so that he could calm down and think calmly.
”The information just sent is about negotiations, your highness.”
The young elf attendant knelt down beside the tea table, carefully opened a bloody note and turned his eyes to the other end of the living room - the elf little prince sitting on the ground against the wall was reading a book left by the nine awn star wizard tower by the light of the overhead wall lamp.
On his side, all the turned books and parchment were piled up like a hill.
”The imperial crown prince... Or the actual Imperial Emperor Brandon de saleon, agreed to your proposal; the two sides take the current eboden defense line as the border, and there will be no unnecessary fighting before the formal war. In addition, the other side has not put forward any other requirements; just...”
The elf attendant suddenly paused and his expression changed.
”Just... What?” the elf Prince didn't raise his head, as if he didn't care:
”Read it.”
”Ah! Er... Yes, yes!” the awakened elf attendant quickly got up and trembled in his voice: ”only, just the chief guard and his adjutant, who were responsible for the negotiation, were killed by each other. The means were extremely cruel!”
Looking at the description on the letterhead, the residual blood on the paper and the smell that didn't know what it was, the elf attendants were scared out of their wits and couldn't even speak quickly.
”Skinning... Beheading... Burning the body in public... The reply letter was tied to the heads of two adults and thrown into the barbed ditch by two imperial cavalry. It was found this morning... HMM!”
The elf attendant with convulsive expression covered his mouth, his eyes wide open, and tried his best to suppress the urge to spit out.
”Well...” Brandon's tone was still very calm, and he turned the page quickly without raising his head: ”the process of execution... Was it seen by our soldiers?”
”... yes, there are almost tens of thousands of people, counting what they heard and saw.” the elf attendant nodded flustered and didn't recover from his fear.
”Then bury their heads, um... Under the triple tower on the side of the king's court gate facing the port.” rodriga Azores tilted his head:
”The funeral should be held with enough scenery so that all warriors will attend and hold a ceremony. At that time, I will go to the funeral in person... Do they have relatives or children?”
”Well, it seems... Yes.”
”Let them be there, especially those who know them. Those who have a good relationship with them... Well, gather all the remaining warriors of the four courts.”
”Yes.”
The elf attendant bowed and took the second letter from one side of the tea table: ”next is the information about the battle of lottel, which was brought by a court guard warrior next to his highness sikotus. He...”
”Stop, don't read.”
”Pa!” the elf Prince casually threw his books on the ”hill” next to him and interrupted his entourage: ”I have probably guessed what happened to lottel.”
”Your Highness?”
”Don't understand? It doesn't matter. I can explain it to you.” looking at the confused expression of the entourage, the elf little prince seemed to be suddenly interested and said happily:
”In fact, it's very simple. Don't you think it's inconsistent that Brandon de sallion, who is opposite, agreed to my proposal and killed my envoy in front of me - willing to be peaceful and provocative?”
The elf attendant nodded in amazement and looked at the little prince's increasingly playful smile.
”The answer is simple... There is no contradiction at all - and there is only one reason why he dares to do so, that is the victory or defeat of the battle of lottel.”
Only the victory of the battle of lottel can make the opposite Imperial Emperor have the courage to do so.
