The Original Vampire

The next morning.

The imperial coalition officially withdrew from Storm Fortress and began a mighty withdrawal operation.

Although they experienced the fiasco of the Tianduan Mountains, there were still more than 400,000 imperial coalition forces in the fortress, and the number of refugees from the western border evacuated with the army was more than one million.

Such a huge team, once they set off, spreads all over the mountains and fields, with no head in front and no tail behind, stretching for dozens of kilometers. Looking down from the sky, it looks like a thick and long tail has been added to the storm fortress.

Complete control of such a large team is almost impossible in this age without instant communication.

Possessed by Emperor Reinhardt, Colin looked at the endless reports of various situations, and only felt irritable and powerless.

Only then can he deeply understand why the enfeoffment system is the best choice in this era.

Because it's the only viable option. .

In the end, Colin could only set a few general principles, and then let the major lords manage their own armies independently.

After leaving the Central Military Camp, the Duke of Southland walked out for a while, and when only the Yeruger was left, he asked in a low voice:

"How about it?"

Bachelor Yarug shook his head silently and said firmly:

"The one just now is obviously not Emperor Reinhardt. Human nature cannot be changed. If he was a real emperor, he would have been angry long ago. How could he still deal with it calmly like now?"

The Duke of St. Landers nodded in agreement, but asked suspiciously:

"But from the looks of it, that's Emperor Reinhardt..."

"From the appearance, Mr. Ho is still the last Duke of St. Hilde." Maester Yarug said with a smile.

The Duke of St. Landers stroked his chin thoughtfully, and said:

"Do you think that His Majesty is also occupied by someone?"

"It's very likely, otherwise, it's impossible to explain His Majesty's abnormal performance."

"Then who do you think is occupying His Majesty's body?"

Maester Yaluger pondered for a moment before saying, "I suspect it is Queen Midella."

"Queen?" The Duke of St. Landers glanced at Maester Yarug in surprise, apparently a little surprised by this answer.

The Yaruger explained:

"Yes. Wasn't the queen drained of her vitality by forcibly activating the sacrificial circle? But what if she didn't really die, but successfully possessed her majesty?

I don't know much about this possession spell, so I can't make a more accurate judgment, but think about it, now His Majesty's attitude has changed greatly, and he decided to adopt Marquis Garcia's strategy to fight the army of orcs.

Once successful, not only will Marquis Garcia be cleared of his crimes, but also the northern cavalry who successfully encircled and suppressed the Warsong Legion and destroyed the army of the Orc Emperor's direct line will surely become famous.

Such partiality, it is very likely that Midella is paving the way for the rise of the North..."

The Duke of St. Landers was silent for a moment,

Then asked:

"If it is Queen Midella who has occupied His Majesty's body, what do you think, what should we do?"

The Yaruger said with deliberation:

"My lord, I advise you to do nothing. At least not until the battle of the Loire Valley is over."

The Duke of St. Landers immediately understood and said, "You mean, let the leader of the North finish the sniping of the orcs first, and then talk about other things?"

"Yes. Orcs are the biggest threat to the empire now. The northern border controls Emperor Reinhardt, at least as a way to eliminate internal conflicts, so that the imperial coalition can concentrate on fighting the orcs.

No matter what conspiracy is in the North, we should wait until the orcs are repelled before exposing it.

At this time, the chaos will only allow the orcs to take advantage. "

The Duke of St. Landers remained silent, seemingly dissatisfied with this suggestion.

Gu\u003c/span\u003e Upon seeing this, Master Yarug said again:

"Lord Duke, in fact, compared to the San Lorenzo family, the Saint Hilde family's control of the empire is more beneficial to the southern border.

At least they have no feud with the Saint Landes family, and if they want to seize the power of the empire, they will definitely need the support of strong allies, and there is hope to make some concessions..."

Hearing this, the Duke of St. Landers seemed to have thought of something, so he nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Okay, then do as you said. If Archon Frederick comes again, you will use this reason to dismiss him."

"Yes, Lord Duke."

...

The long army, mighty and mighty, went all the way to the east.

As the true commander-in-chief of the army, Ke Lin had become accustomed to it at this time, apart from the initial nervousness and fear.

It's just that the soldiers in the lower ranks gradually became restless and restless as they traveled long distances.

The specific phalanx of the battle of the Loire Valley cannot be explained to the lower-level soldiers, and even if it is explained, they will not understand.

So in their opinion, the Empire's withdrawal this time was not a smart choice.

After all, the terrain of the Loire Valley is not as safe as the walls of the Storm Fortress.

In addition, this withdrawal also means that the vast area west of the Loire Valley has been abandoned, and more refugees have begun to join the withdrawal team, which has also exacerbated the unrest in the hearts of the people.

But fortunately, the nobles and officers have unified their minds, and Colin has also used the authority of Emperor Reinhardt to rectify military discipline many times, requiring officers at all levels to strictly control them, even at the risk of killing people.

As a result, on the road of the march, you can see some wooden poles with ugly heads hanging on them.

This kind of bloody means suppressed the changes in the army.

The military law is ruthless, and Colin will not have compassion at this critical time.

Because he understands that once his heart softens at this time, it is likely to lead to greater chaos and even collapse.

This imperial coalition seems to be large and powerful, but it is actually extremely fragile.

They desperately need a win to regain their confidence.

mid-August.

The imperial coalition finally successfully arrived in the Loire Valley and joined the army in the north.

Unfortunately, Colin did not find Marquis Garcia here, but only heard that the other party had returned to Royal Dragon City.

This made Colin extremely puzzled. He didn't understand why Marquis Garcia went there?

Doesn't he want to prove himself in the Loire Valley?

In desperation, Colin had to bite the bullet and go into battle in person, and began to control Emperor Reinhardt's command to deploy the defense system.

But this also meant that Reinhard the Great had to frequently meet with nobles and officers, and gradually, the emperor's abnormal behavior began to spread in the army.

Therefore, Colin had to let Emperor Reinhardt pretend to be sick, and at the same time announced the appointment of himself as a temporary commander, temporarily commanding the coalition on behalf of the emperor.

Although this will also increase the suspicion of some people, but at this time Colin can't care so much.

Stopping the orc army is the top priority. As long as this tough battle is won, Ke Lin is sure to deal with those imperial nobles with different minds.

Fortunately, although the nobles were talking a lot in private, after all, no big nobles took the lead, and under the pressure of the approaching orc army, no one dared to take the initiative to provoke civil unrest at this time.

Moreover, Colin is quite prestigious in the current glorious empire, and no one is convinced that he is the temporary commander of the coalition army. The army in the Loire Valley completed its strategic deployment in this repressed calm.

Just waiting for the arrival of the orc army.
