.One Hundred and Seventy Two, First Battle of the Jiafu (2)

One Hundred and Seventy Two, First Battle of the Kofu (2)

This "battle" at Katsunumacho at dusk erupted very briefly and suddenly.

Almost at the same time as the sentry warned, a shadowy and hazy figure rushed into Katsumamacho, which had no fortifications.

The small team of Fili and Mitsui Ryuki was caught off guard.

It was time for dinner, and these exhausted travelers were busy organizing today's dinner. There were less than 300 people in total. Some of them set up marching pots on the gravel yard at the entrance of the village to make fire and boil water. Some of them forced to demolish empty houses in the town yard as firewood. Some were taken to the vineyard to transport wine barrels and raisins by Feili. There were also a few bored guys guarding the baggage vehicles waiting for dinner.

Mitsui Ryuhime took her maid, servant and guard to take a bath at an open-air hot spring on the edge of Katsumazu Town. As a wealthy lady with a vigilance, she was already itchy and uncomfortable without taking a bath on the muddy road through the Kanto Mountains for three or four days. Although Katsumazu Town is a little dilapidated, because she is close to Mount Fuji, the natural hot spring with a slight scent of sulfur is not bad... So the lady happily hums a song to go to the hot spring.

Although these people have legitimate reasons for their separate actions, the entire team was dispersed like pepper sprinkled. Although Katsunumacho is small, this small team is smaller. What's worse is that they are not familiar with the place and have serious lack of vigilance... The result is that when an unidentified enemy attacks, they cannot make any effective response.

The cooks guarding the village entrance to set up a pot and set fire to the fire. They suddenly saw a crowd of black people rushing out of the village and town. They were so scared that they ran away and ran to the vineyards in the back mountain to ask for instructions. The soldiers scattered in the streets and alleys who demolished houses and collected firewood were mostly unknown because their vision was blocked by the houses, so they just saw the guys at the entrance of the village running away, and they ran wildly with them...

The vineyard where Feili and his team were also attacked in a mess. Hundreds of people rushed out from somewhere, waving things like sticks, and rushing toward Feili and her party who were lighting the torches.

Finally, a few more clever soldiers reacted in time, unloaded the pre-loaded rifles on their shoulders, and pulled the trigger a few times in the approximate direction - it was so dark that it could not be aimed at all - the bullets were probably either hitting the tree or plunging into the mud.

But after hearing the gunshot, the crowd that had rushed over was rushing towards him in an instant, and turned around and retreated in a mess like a tide, disappearing without a trace... Feili stood under the grape trellis with a magic wand, and was stunned for no reason.

——From the beginning to the end, these attackers who didn’t know what to do, never fired a single shot and an ammunition…

Then, Feiri waited for a while and then met the defeated soldiers who escaped from Katsumazu Town. He was so angry that he jumped straight by their cowardly behavior. He gave up the dilapidated Katsumazu Town without a single shot. It was not a big problem. There was no danger in that place anyway. But the problem was that half of the twenty baggage carriages that had finally been pulled from Edo were lost in the village by these cowards.

Unfortunately, due to excessive concentration, he forgot to notify Miss Ryuki Mitsui about this. What's even more terrible is that the former Naserier Empire guards officers and soldiers who came to the night attack tonight were not the only two groups of people who attacked Katsumamachi and Koyama Vineyards...

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

In the deep night, Lieutenant Krieg Xiefa, with more than a hundred ragged and ragged guards of the former Naserrel Empire, moved between the bumpy mountain roads with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Although they are all the most elite professional soldiers of this era, the weapons in their hands are so simple and rough that they are tragic - temporary sharpening spatulas and kitchen knives, bamboo poles that sharpen at one end and roast hard with fire, pot lids and door panels that replace shields, bricks and wooden sticks that can be picked up at any time... Finally, there are only two or three old-fashioned mesh guns that can be called antiques, which are simply the armed level of street gangsters fighting.

"... Fortunately, I still have magic... These spell positions I remember every day cannot take away..."

Looking at the miserable situation of his colleagues behind him, Lieutenant Krieg Xiefa, who was once a third-class army judge and teleportation mage of the Independent Gendarmerie of the Naserel Empire Guards, has been constantly traveling with luck recently, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Since embarking on this road of no return to the Far East, his life has fallen into a state of gloom and despair.

For him, in the past year, almost every day seems to be struggling in a nightmare.

Looking back on the twenty years in the imperial capital, as an officer of the Imperial Guards, it was really glorious and comfortable. It was high salary, good treatment, easy promotion and further education, and rarely needed to go to the battlefield... Unfortunately, good days were gone forever. Since last autumn, the Imperial Guards where he was, and even the entire Neseril Empire, had earth-shaking turmoil.

First, the ruling alliance led by the Church of Magic Goddess was suddenly defeated in the general election, and the separatists in the south actually took control of the central government of the empire. Then, the north and the south officially broke up and showed up, hundreds of thousands of troops confronted the empire's heartland, and the devastating imperial civil war was about to break out.

As a small officer at the bottom, Lieutenant Krieg Xiefa was not qualified or intent to participate in such national affairs. But the problem was that in the huge turmoil that caused the collapse of the country, the Imperial Guards stationed in the capital were the first to be damaged and were shattered by the political storm at the first time. Shortly after the imperial election, more than half of the active officers and soldiers of the Guards left the capital with the former consul of the resignation of Ganmelier and switched to Silvermoon City to join the Northern Army.

Lieutenant Krieg Xiefa originally wanted to leave together, but he was a resident of the capital, with the whole family and the manor here, so he had to bite the bullet and stay with a group of local colleagues, hoping that at least before the civil war broke out, he could continue to have a meal in the capital...Facts have proved that his ideas were really stupid and naive.

The new government, led by the separatists in the South, did not want their unreliable armed forces to stay by their side. It was just shortly after it was established that it organized all the remaining 2,500 guard soldiers and organized them into a special detachment to the Candle Fort on the Sword Sea to the west for defense. Then it recruited soldiers from Cormier, Sambia, and the Dragon Coast into the capital to form a new imperial guards... Lieutenant Krieg Xiefa, who was unwilling to stay away from his hometown, was finally sent to Beijing to helplessly.

But this was just the beginning of a nightmare. As soon as they arrived at Candle Fort, the political situation of the Naseril Empire changed drastically again - the church of the goddess of trade and wealth, Wojin, changed his flag and formed an alliance with the goddess of magic Mistera and the dark girl Elisech. And the Dominion of Ammun, under his church, also joined the northern camp. Thus, the Candle Fort on the northwest coast of Ammun Dominion changed from a fringe fortress where the two camps confronted each other to an enclave and death place hanging alone in the sphere of influence in the north.

Faced with the 30,000 Northern Army and nearly 100 warships that were advancing step by step, Lieutenant Krieg Xiefa thought that his war had ended, because with the empty granary and ammunition depot inside the candlestick, he had no ability to stick to it for a long time. The defenders could only either surrender voluntarily and retreat through peaceful negotiations before the two sides had broken up and went back; or simply disbanded on the spot, and everyone took off their military uniforms and found their own way out.

Unexpectedly, the final order was the third type. The entire army gave up the fortress and went out to sea, took the candlestick fleet to "continue to turn in". The goal of "continue to turn in" was really far away. It turned out to be the Far East Karatu Continent far away on the other end of the planet Torrell.

As soon as such a terrifying order was issued, the former Imperial Guards immediately mutiny broke out. Unfortunately, they were immediately bloody suppressed by a large number of paladins of the Tyr Church and several great arcane masters, which quickly "simplified" the scoundrels of this disaster-stricken and lost a quarter of the scoundrels on the spot. Moreover, these unlucky dead ghosts were hung on the walls of the candle castle to show their corpses, which suddenly turned all the thorns into good rabbits.

Then, most of the former Imperial Guards, including Lieutenant Krieg Xiefa, were forced to impose inhumane mental control. General Robert, who was a psychic warlock, acted as the commander and took the candlestick fleet to the Far East in a daze, and began a miserable journey of suffering. The candlestick fleet under the Church of God of Knowledge has not yet left the far sea for nearly a hundred years, and its navigation ability has deteriorated to a rather tragic level... Therefore, after experiencing a series of hurricanes, reefs, treks and tropical diseases, the former Imperial Guards sent to the Far East to perform a death mission were reduced by half again, and there were less than a thousand people.

When the suffering-torn Candle Fort fleet finally met with allies in the Far East, after landing in the Satsuma Phantom in the southwest corner of the island country, dozens of guards officers and soldiers died one after another because of the unacceptable environment. It was a true death expedition.

Afterwards, several magicians with the army led by Lieutenant Krieg Shefa played a very important role in the Kyoto Incident. By building a teleportation magic gate in the Imperial Garden of the Palace, the anti-shog troops of the Satsuma clan were moved to the Kyoto city area in an instant. First, they quickly defeated the military and political organs of the shogunate in Beijing, and then defeated the new-style main force of the shogunate army that returned from the battlefield of the Choshuogunate to suppress it, and the death knell that caused the Edo Shogunate to fall apart... Unfortunately, before this, the candle castle fleet carrying Lieutenant Krieg Shefa came to the Far East was wiped out by Admiral Perry, the expedition hero of the year, and the way back to the country was cut off.

——However, the authorities seem to be not ready to let them go back alive…

In the next few months, the days when the anti-shog coalition forces were advancing in all directions. The outdated shogunate system was shattered by these wandering warriors, and countless villages and markets were destroyed and left untold.

But this has nothing to do with Lieutenant Krieg Xiefa. Whether it is the magicians who sneaked into the palace in advance, or the last 900 former imperial guards officers and soldiers who entered Kyoto through the portal, they have never participated in any war. They just curled up in a dilapidated temple outside Kyoto, living a tragic life of eating but not having a meal all day. Out of extreme distrust of these guys, General Robert never dared to distribute weapons and ammunition to them, and finally secretly sold all these equipment...

After sitting on the bench with little food and clothing for more than two months, General Robert finally let them have a full meal. Then, like the time of the Kyoto mutiny, Lieutenant Krieg Xiefa took the magician team to a place called Kafu in the east. Relying on the help of a group of local monks of the Konori Sect, a group of local fake monks who surrendered to the Dragon Witch Sect, they built an ultra-long-distance portal again, and brought the entire army over, as the pioneer of Emperor Renxiao's eastern expedition, and went to attack Edo.

So, they built this extremely long-distance portal in the mountain north of the Jiafu, in the courtyard of the Guangyan Sect branch temple, and then transferred all the more than 900 brothers to this place... But they were completely blind. Shortly after they arrived at this strange land, General Robert disappeared with his group of his confidants, and no one knew where they went. The Guangyan Sect monk who had assisted Lieutenant Krieg Xiefa to build the portal also disappeared on the same day. It is said that he was ordered to withdraw with the envoy of the Dragon Witch Sect.

As a result, more than 900 guards of the Qiannaiser Empire who were abandoned by everyone, guarded in this empty temple, in a dilemma, both confused and confused, and even more terrible that they didn't even have a self-defense weapon, so they naturally felt up and down.

During the period when the portal had not disappeared, many people gathered in the Kyoto area to fight for houses and houses. They felt that it would take more than 2,000 miles from Kyoto to Edo, so they took a ride, went straight to Kofu through the portal, and then went straight to various places nearby to carry out the "Tian Zhu". At first, there was a sporadic team of several people and more than a dozen people, and later there was even a large team of two or three hundred people.

However, more than 900 former guards of the Naseril Empire were not familiar with the geographical environment, and had no weapons to accompany them. They wanted to fight for the family and rob, so they had to hide in the temple to live.
