On this day, the first mayor meeting of the southern district of Hulit was held in Hulit. Miller presided over the meeting. In addition to the mayors and government officials of Samedaya, Tuban, Sicily, and Butiri, the meeting also included the government preparatory teams of Samesia and Dashiya, the two cities closest to the White Shield Mountain in the northern Xinjiang. In addition to the efforts of Wu Lai's propaganda staff, Miller also played a big role in facilitating the submission of these two cities.

"Today's gathering is not just for Hulett." Miller placed his hands lightly on the podium. These days, his physical strength and energy have been overdrawn, and he has become much weaker. But despite this, he still works tirelessly.

"It's for the entire continent, the Romon Continent. The continent where the gods Ro and Amon coexist with us." Miller smiled. "This is a great idea. It comes from the great Assyrian lord, the chief priest of the Assyrian Temple, the chairman of the Assyrian Parliament, and the supreme commander of the Assyrian army, Wuleglindo. I believe that we all have to believe that this idea is enough to resolve the war and achieve an era of peace on the Romon Continent."

"In this concept, all those who oppose and destroy peace will be sanctioned and spurned, and eventually, war will disappear..."

"By that time, the continent of Romon will become a unified multi-ethnic alliance. The alliance will achieve long-term stability and prosperity. People will help each other equally, unite and cooperate, and develop together. All resources and technologies will be shared, and there will no longer be regional and ethnic distinctions." Miller painted a beautiful blueprint with all his heart, because he had personally experienced the wars and changes in Assyria, and had also seriously studied and understood Wu Lai's new policies. He was sure that it was definitely the most suitable concept for long-term development.

The participants listened carefully and took notes...

…

The bright sunshine made Adolf feel very comfortable, which undoubtedly fueled his complacency and made him feel so elated that he almost forgot the war taking place on the border of Kimo.

Of course he was feeling elated, because today was the pinnacle moment of his life - after the coronation ceremony was completed, he would be the emperor of the Tianjuan Empire.

At this time, Adolf's carriage was driving on the spacious and clean Tianjuan City ceremonial avenue. In front of the carriage was a team of 2,000 knights wearing luxurious armor, all of whom were from Tianjuan Palace. In order to make Tianjuan Palace loyal to him, Adolf spent a lot of effort. You know, in Tianjuan, if you leave the support of Tianjuan Palace, it will definitely mean that you are not legitimate.

Behind the carriage was a long line of gorgeous carriages, guards, ceremonial guards, drums and music traveling side by side, with a total number of more than 30,000 people.

Adolf's carriage made the people watching the ceremony marvel, because it was the most luxurious carriage they had ever seen. In order to rush to make this ceremonial carriage inlaid with more than 36,000 gems of various colors, and even the pull rods and wheels were decorated with gold, more than 600 craftsmen spent a full month and a half, and the cost was incalculable...

The carriage drove into the palace and then stopped in front of the Datong Hall. When Adolf stepped out of the carriage, drums sounded three times. At the command of the Mingzan officer, officials at all levels who had been waiting for a long time performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows. After the ceremony, the officials returned to their posts and the music and rituals played loudly.

Under the escort of two attendants, Adolf walked up the red carpet steps with a smile and slowly entered the hall.

In the magnificent hall, the extremely luxurious throne stood quietly...

The moment he saw the throne, Adolf suddenly felt like crying. It was a feeling of joy that after all the hard work and struggle, his wish was finally fulfilled.

Adolf stopped in front of the throne and turned around. Immediately, ministers and officials, led by officials from the Ministry of Rites, filed in and stood in groups.

All officials stood still, and the official of the Ministry of Rites gave an order, and three stewards hurried into the hall holding the emperor's crown, seal, and scepter. The official gave the order again, and both groups of civil and military officials knelt down at the same time, shouting: "Your Majesty, I congratulate you, the emperor, for your unification and the blessing of heaven, and your eternal glory!"

As Adolf laughed heartily, three deacons came forward and knelt down. Six female attendants walked quickly in through a small door on the side of the hall, took the crown and clothes from the deacons' trays, and put them on Adolf. Their movements were skillful and swift, and in just a few seconds, Adolf gained a bit of imperial majesty.

"Please ascend the throne, His Majesty." All the officials bowed and shouted.

"I, as you wish." Adolf laughed and waved his sleeves, then turned around and ascended the throne.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to read the imperial edict." The first ceremonial officer knelt in front of the throne holding the cloud-patterned imperial edict in his hand.

"Okay!" Adolf waved his sleeves majestically, and the excitement in his eyes was somewhat difficult to conceal.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The first ceremonial officer bowed and thanked, then stood up and stepped back a few steps, opening the imperial edict. "Heaven has blessed the supreme wise and brave Adolf Hitt, and we will obey the will of heaven..."

As soon as the word "Heaven's Mandate" was uttered, there was a loud noise like thunder and lightning outside the hall. The First Ceremonial Officer was startled and stopped involuntarily. Not only him, but all the civil and military officials, guards and attendants in the hall also stopped and listened attentively.

Adolf had just frowned when the second loud bang was heard.

"What's going on?!" Adolf slammed the armrest with his right fist.

A military officer hesitated for a moment, then bowed and stepped out of the line: "Your Majesty, it seems... that the sound is from cannons."

"Cannon sound?" There was a sudden buzzing sound in the hall. Many civil officials and military officers became a little panicked. Surprise, panic and confusion soon filled the hall.

"Impossible!" Adolf stood up suddenly. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the coronation ceremony, not only were all the defensive artillery in the capital replaced by Adolf's people, but even the shells were all handed over and sealed. How could there be any sound of artillery?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, or is it going to rain?" The military officer knelt on the ground hurriedly. He was in a hurry and had no time to think about it. Now being scolded by Adolf, he came to his senses and realized that the coronation ceremony was being held, and his report obviously caused disturbance and destruction.

"Bang!" Another loud noise was heard. This time everyone heard it more clearly. It was not thunder at all, but the sound of a cannon. Even, everyone could vaguely hear the sudden chaos outside the palace.

All the civil and military officials turned their eyes to Adolf.

"Captain of the Guards! Go and take a look! What's going on?" Adolf shouted at the captain of the guards angrily.

"I obey your order!" The chief guard turned around and ran out of the hall...

…

The fifth shell from the main gun of the Woolley blasted open the East Gate of Tianjuan City. In fact, this was not very important, because two of the previous four shells hit the city wall, directly creating two gaps about thirty steps wide. Among the other two, one destroyed the East Gate tower into a pile of rubble, and the other hit the East Gate guard barracks directly.

When he put down the telescope, Bailey excitedly waved his fist at the outline of Tianjuan City in the distance and took off his earmuffs.

"Commander Bailey, please fire two more shots." The fifth regiment commander ran to Bailey with a smile on his face.

"That's enough. The shells are free." Bailey laughed and waved his hands.

"We have so many shells, it's not like we can't afford to fire." The fifth commander was about to say something else, but when he saw Night Blade Dance coming over, he stopped talking and reminded Bailey in a low voice.

"Got it. You go down first and ask the brothers who are not on guard to fetch more water to wipe the deck. We have encountered so many big waves along the way, and the deck cannot be soaked with too much sea water. This is the lord's ship, so ask the brothers to be more careful. Also, stay alert at the combat positions at all times." Bailey ordered.

As soon as the fifth captain received the order and left, Night Blade Dancer walked to Bailey's side and said, "Captain Bailey."

"General Night Blade Dance." Bailey turned and nodded at Night Blade Dance.

"How is the effect of the bombardment?" Ye Renwu had mixed emotions. Although she knew very well the purpose of Wu Lai's troops coming here, and knew that the Assyrian army would try its best to avoid affecting civilians, and knew that this was the best chance to save the Petra family, when she saw the walls of Tianjuan City being bombarded, she still couldn't control herself. After all, that was her hometown.

"The effect is good. We blew open the east city gate and opened two gaps. You can use my telescope to see it. It has a higher magnification and can see more clearly." Bailey handed the telescope to Ye Renwu.

"No need." Ye Jianwu waved his hand, "All preparations for the battle are ready."

"Yes." Bailey nodded. "The river section we are in now is the limit of the Wulai. The water depth of Tianjuan's inner river is not as deep as that of Assyria. We can only wait here and can't go any further. The estimated straight-line distance between us and Tianjuan City is only six to seven miles. If they react faster, they can rush over in a meal's time."

"Are you sure you can hold it?" Ye Renwu asked with a frown. This long section of the river was very narrow, and the Wu Lai was too huge. At this moment, the left and right sides were less than 150 steps away from the river bank on average. At such a distance, let alone siege weapons such as cannons, catapults and crossbows, even longbowmen with better arm strength could easily shoot arrows onto the boat.

"That's true. Although we are very close to the river bank, we have the height advantage, and we have two hunter battalions defending us. We also have sufficient ammunition. There will be no problem for us to hold out for one to two days." Bailey replied.

Ye Renwu nodded: "But I am still a little worried. What if Adolf's army's numbers and equipment exceed expectations..."

"No, the lord said that Adolf will not place the defense point in Tianjuan City, so his military strength will definitely not exceed our expectations." Bailey smiled slightly, "General Ye Jianwu, just wait and see a good show. Sales and I will take care of the fighting. After we take over Tianjuan City, it will all be up to you."

Night Blade Dancer nodded.

…

The city of Napoli is the closest to the canyon pass. Because of the large number of garrisons and military families, it is also called the "Soldier City".

Now, Napolini, less than a hundred miles away from Canyon Pass, has become the last barrier of Canyon Pass.

Napolini's main general was called Sutter, Sutterhit, Garon's cousin. He was a man who liked to "fight wars with his brain". If he had not done so many bad things, his achievements would have been higher than they are now. Although he had never fought any crucial battles and had never had an impressive record, at the beginning of Tianjuan's founding of the country, many of his military proposals were adopted and implemented, and ultimately it was proved that most of these proposals were correct.

This made Sartre feel complacent and also gave rise to a feeling that no one else could do it better than him. For example, now, he thought that placing himself as a main general in Napolini was the most wrong decision made by Adolf, because he felt that he surpassed Garon and Leiden in every aspect, not to mention that they were his juniors - this was what Sartre could not stand the most. Since coming to Napolini as a lecturer, Sartre has been trying hard to find opportunities to prove himself to Adolf, and to let the two juniors, Garon and Leiden, see that he is the most capable and warlike in the Hitt family.

Now, the opportunity seemed to have come, because an Assyrian army came from the north to the south and camped more than thirty miles outside the city of Napolini.

"General, this army has about 25,000 soldiers, equipped with artillery, trolleys, many horses and vehicles, well-armored and well-trained." After the scout finished his report, he asked, "General, do you want to ask for help from Canyon Pass?"

"No need." Sartre waved his hand and frowned in thought.

"But..." The scout was about to say something, but when he saw Sartre looking thoughtful, he quickly shut his mouth. However, he was secretly worried. The two camps in Napolini had less than 15,000 people in total, and the enemy had powerful weapons such as artillery. If there was no reinforcement, Napolini would surely fall quickly.

After a while, Sartre raised his eyelids: "It seems that they have taken over the cities ahead of us. They are really capable..."
