Chapter 521 Chapter 519: New Divine Calendar Year 316 (Additional Update 6)
On January 1, 316 of the New Divine Calendar, another Divine Grace Festival arrived. A large celebration was held in the Flower Territory, creating a strong festive atmosphere.
Countless people took to the streets, cheering and dancing around the bonfire to the ethereal and cheerful singing of the mermaid girl, releasing their passion.
The Lion Manor held a grand banquet, and Loy sent invitations to all forces or individuals friendly to the Flower Territory.
His guests ranged from the vampires who settled in the Dome Mountains to Prince Eros of the deep sea and his brain-dead sister.
From King Alexios of the Siren Tribe, to the Norman Archduchess, the old Marquis Floyd, and dignitaries from various countries...
Except for the three giants of the coalition who did not send anyone, the others, even those who did not receive an invitation, also tried to get one.
Many times, strength is important, but showing your strength is even more important!
Holding such a large banquet is the best way to show off the identity and status of the guests.
It is worth mentioning that this time the empire also sent someone specially, Baron Miller Petrovich, as the imperial envoy, to the Flower Territory.
This was the first time they met since Miller left Auckland, except for letters. At the beginning, they felt a sense of helplessness and unfamiliarity, as if they were meeting online friends offline.
However, after a few words of conversation, the unfamiliarity was completely eliminated, and there was a sense of joy as if we were reunited after a long separation.
Roy specifically brought Miller to meet Lilia and Klein, and made Miller Klein's godfather.
He also took Miller around the city of Brussels and told him about the planning and difficulties of building this city.
He also took him to the military camp, allowing Miller, who was a soldier, to experience the thrill of riding a magic tank.
Then they set up a few grills in the wilderness, called Oliveira, Hill, Butler Hoover, and Mrs. Linda over, and enjoyed a picnic just as they remembered.
Roy entertained his good friend in the simplest yet most cordial way, and Miller did not hide the mission of his trip.
That means more mana tanks!
After the new year, the empire will have a big move, so the one hundred magic tanks rented before are not enough. Now, it needs to be increased to three hundred.
Three hundred vehicles are almost all the vehicles that Flowers has in active service. Before, when the Imperial Ambassador Lord Robin Water came to negotiate, Loy refused.
He cannot give away all the "weapons" in his hands because of the leasing business, as that would make him lose his sense of security.
However, Baron Miller came in person, so we had to give him face. All three hundred vehicles were rented.
It's this transfer time that needs to be delayed a little longer.
Coincidentally, before Baron Miller arrived, Lilia had just completed the research and development and experiments of the second-generation King of Land Warfare.
The overall design is still based on the previous one, but some minor issues have been corrected and optimized to a certain extent.
And the most important upgrade is the installation of a magic shield.
The armor of the King of Land Warfare is definitely thick enough. The thinnest is 300mm of tempered steel. Even a fourth-level natural disaster would find it difficult to break it with weapons.
The frontal armor is 1000mm thick, and even a smaller magic cannon cannot penetrate it.
However, although the physical defense has reached the extreme, the magic resistance is still a little lacking.
Therefore, the installation of this magic shield is the most pressing issue.
Moreover, with reference to the design of the deflection force field, this magic shield is shaped into a hexagon, which can divert all kinds of damage to the maximum extent.
Of course, due to insufficient magic power, it can only be opened manually, and the maintenance time is also limited, so the operation requirements are extremely high.
But even so, the second-generation King of Land Warfare has been greatly strengthened, and Luo Yi has decided to make a comprehensive change of equipment.
Therefore, Miller's arrival was just in time. The old magic tanks now had a place to go, and he could earn a large sum of gold to continue investing in research and development.
Getting back to the point, this banquet was meant to somewhat declare its influence to the outside world, so it had to be held in a grand manner.
Of course, Grace Day is still special, and the entire city of Brussels has entered a state of being loose on the outside but tight on the inside.
All the fourth-level natural disasters were recalled and watched every place from the sky. The third-level extraordinary people were also divided into areas and strictly monitored all situations in their own areas.
The ground is the home of the Police Department and the Brotherhood Gang, while the black-clad swordsmen are hidden in different corners, waiting for the signal to arrive at the scene in the shortest time and take control of the situation.
Even the three newly formed imperial guard divisions selected elite soldiers, equipped them with sufficient weapons, and stationed them outside the city.
All this is done to prevent possible attacks.
You can't blame Luo Yi for making a fuss. In the past few years, nothing good has happened on Grace Day.
It's a pity that this year no one was brave enough to cause trouble for him. Even if some people were arrested, they were all thieves who couldn't control their hands and intelligence personnel who had revealed their tracks.
Even this made Luo Yi, who was ready to go, feel a little disappointed.
After the Divine Grace Festival, Miller left directly with the signed contract, while Flower Collar entered a tense inventory and dividend distribution phase.
Every January, Xianhualing takes stock of the previous year's business, summarizes it, announces the settlement, and distributes dividends according to shares.
This is also a moment that countless people are paying attention to and looking forward to.
However, with sufficient experience and a complete accounting system, there is actually nothing much to say.
Mira Greenman and his financial team just need to proceed with their work according to the established regulations.
However, there are two pieces of news that are causing a sensation internationally.
The first was a spontaneous ceasefire that occurred on the Western Front, on the front lines of combat between the Empire and the Allied forces.
This was a proposal from an archbishop of the Vatican, who believed that a pre-war ceasefire could be arranged around Christmas so that soldiers from both sides could spend Christmas together.
This proposal was somewhat troublesome, and the Church of the Sun God did not expect the Empire to agree to it.
What was unexpected was that the Empire did not take any action, but the Church of the Seven Gods gave relatively positive feedback.
So, the soldiers' families and friends prepared letters, Christmas cards and packages.
The package was filled with warm clothes, food, cigarettes and medicine.
To add to the Christmas atmosphere on the front line, they even made small Christmas trees.
The soldiers on the front line also sang songs, and the sound drifted to the trenches on the opposite side. Both sides walked out of the trenches, shook hands with each other, hugged and sang.
They even held a game using a simple leather ball. Both sides had a great time playing on the gully-covered battlefield and received a lot of applause.
Because the battle line was so long, this spontaneous ceasefire lasted intermittently for a period of time until the end of January in the year 316 of the New God Calendar.
Many people believe that this is the brilliance of humanity on the battlefield. Although they are all fighting for the interests of their respective countries, they also have the right to enjoy peace.
Of course, this ceasefire incident also made many people reflect on the war, believing that this protracted war is a destruction of humanity.
Ordinary people should not pay for the ambitions of those in power, nor should they lose their lives on a bloody battlefield.
This trend of thought was somewhat spread in the Habsburg Empire. Although it was suppressed, it was secretly accepted by many people.
This may be the result of learning more knowledge. Knowing too much will liberate your mind and you will have more ideas and opinions.
This has planted a seed!
Another thing was that the war in the Ottoman Empire could no longer be fought, and the Kingdom of Sardinia had begun to withdraw its troops one after another.
This matter actually started in November of the 315th year of the New God Calendar.
It was just that at that time, the Kingdom of Sardinia retreated in small batches, which could be explained by a change of defense, and there were not many traces.
But in January of the 316th year of the New Divine Calendar, it could no longer be concealed.
The Kingdom of Sardinia was defeated by itself in the War of Proof, which was a complete disgrace to them.
This was also one of the reasons why Queen Victoria was angry, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't defeat it.
It has been said that the Kingdom of Sardinia had the best navy in the entire Old World, but also the worst army.
Fighting on earth is not suitable for them.
After these articles were published in the newspapers and reached the Kingdom of Sardinia, the queen was so furious that she smashed the study that had just been decorated.
But even so, she chose to retreat very willingly.
At this point, the intensity of fighting in the Ottoman Empire was decreasing at a visible rate.
At the same time, the coalition forces' plan to open up the third and fourth battlefields was completely declared a failure.
The war returned to its original state, fighting on both the eastern and western fronts. To be precise, the focus was on the western front.
On the Eastern Front, the Slavs lost a large amount of territory, proving that the berserkers who howled and rushed forward under the artillery fire of the new magic legion were completely eliminated by the times.
But the problem is that the Slavic land doesn’t mean much!
The Habsburg Empire no longer had the motivation to move forward and had already entered a defensive state.
Then large numbers of soldiers were dispatched to the Western Front.
Everyone could see that the Empire was prepared to completely defeat, or even destroy, the Bonapartist resistance on the Western Front.
Everyone felt that the 316th year of the New Divine Calendar was the most important year in this all-out war for hegemony, and the outcome would be decided in this year.
It was also in this tense atmosphere that time passed. In February of the 316th year of the New Divine Calendar, the Habsburg Empire suddenly took action, pushing the war to a climax again.
PS: After thinking about the outline, I think I should start a new volume.
