C17 Chaos
Sander pushed open the door and stood outside respectfully. Lee Xiang smiled and nodded. He strode out the door. After that, he looked at the flowers and plants that had been uprooted by Count Walker and felt helpless in his heart. He muttered to himself, "That's good, that's good too. . . There's nothing left for me to keep! It's all about losing my will to play. It seems like that's the truth!"
"There's no more. You can cultivate it again, third young master!" Sander, who stayed close to him, could not help but bear it in his heart. He could not help but remind him in a low voice.
Of course, Li Yao knew why he was always by his side. It must be Count's orders.
Lee Xiang sighed and said with deep emotion, "No matter how many varieties I cultivate, what's the use of not having the ability to protect them?"
Sander still wanted to say more. Lee Xiang waved his hand slightly and smiled self-deprecatingly. He turned his head to look at Sander and said: "En. . . Tell me what interesting things have happened in the empire recently?" Lee Xiang looked at Sander and asked with a smile. It interrupted his thoughts.
Sander felt a wave of sadness in his heart. Asking these questions might be the greatest joy of this poor third young master every day!
"Two more days. It will be the famous Reiss Empire's National Ceremony!" Sander answered carefully, afraid that it would trigger the hidden pain in Lee Xiang's heart.
Lee Xiang nodded. Of course, he knew about this matter. Even if he had never left this place since he was born, how could he not know about such a big matter? After all, books would tell him a lot of things!
"I mean. . . " Lee Xiang frowned slightly. "Is there anything else interesting besides this?"
Sander thought for a while and quickly replied, "Nothing interesting and fun recently, but I heard a very shocking thing in my street today. "
"Oh!" Lee Xiang nodded with great interest and indicated for him to continue.
Sander thought for a while and said, "A few days ago, there seemed to be a large-scale riot in the empire. . . "
Oh, Lee Xiang said, but his heart skipped a beat. But then he thought about it. It was not the first time he had heard about such a thing. At least this year he had heard about it a few times. With the unfair laws of Reiss Empire and the conflicts between the different races, It was normal for some people to rebel, so it wasn't a strange thing. In the end, it would still end with the empire's victory over the rebellion. No wonder even though Reiss Empire was known as the most powerful country on the continent, it had to be controlled by the surrounding small countries. If the internal problems were not resolved, no matter how strong he was, In the end, he was just a paper tiger.
Sander immediately guessed third young master's thoughts when he saw his expression. He quickly added, "But I heard that this matter is not simple. There are many casualties. It is said that even the garrison of the empire has suffered great damage, and the situation has yet to calm down. There seemed to be a more serious trend, and there were even sporadic riots in other places. . . Furthermore, the Imperial Palace was currently in a state of chaos regarding how to deal with this matter. Various suggestions were endless, and among them, the two factions that advocated suppression and pacification were the most powerful. Even His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know who to listen to. "
Lee Xiang smiled again. Most of the rumors on the streets were made up of false rumors. Naturally, it was a bit of an exaggeration. It couldn't be confirmed!
Sander saw that Lee Xiang still did not believe his words. He was also a little anxious.
"I think this matter should be true because the number of patrols on the streets in the empire has obviously increased these few days. "
"The National Day Ceremony is about to arrive, increasing security is a very normal thing!" Lee Xiang smiled. There were still many reasons that Sander did not understand.
"But I heard that there is a cavalry legion not far from the capital! I saw this with my own eyes when I left the city two days ago!" Sander added.
"Cavalry? Are you sure?" Lee Xiang was very interested when he heard him say that. Because he suspected that Sander did not know what cavalry was and what infantry were.
"It shouldn't be wrong! Because in the past, there were troops stationed near the Imperial Capital, but most of them were the garrison troops that were affiliated to the Imperial Capital. Moreover, they don't have many horses. Each soldier is equipped with a warhorse. . . "
Lee Xiang was slightly stunned. That was true! Sander might not be able to tell what kind of soldier type they were, but at least he knew if there were any horses.
Lee Xiang knew a thing or two about the art of war. In this era of cold weapons, As the news was not very advanced, the imperial capital of any country would have a garrison. Other than the guards who had a certain defensive function within the imperial capital, In order to be on the safe side, there would also be one or two small scale garrison legions in the vicinity of the imperial capital. This was to ensure the safety of the imperial capital! This garrison army's military strength was also very meticulous. It could not threaten the safety of the imperial capital. We also need to help defend the capital against the rebellion at the crucial moment. One had to know that if this garrison army suddenly turned their muzzles around and stole their muzzles to sneak attack the most important place in the Imperial Capital, then this country would actually exist in name only. This was an example of this in the entire Osman Continent. At the same time, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, Under normal circumstances, this group of troops would usually be a little far away from the Imperial Capital. When they made a move, the ones in power in the Imperial Capital would be able to react in time. Moreover, their weapons and equipment were mainly defensive and offensive, and not large amounts of offensive equipment were prepared for them. This was mainly to limit warhorses. One thing to emphasize was that these legion commanders were protecting the safety of the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, outsiders were not trustworthy. And even so, They would change their defenses in large numbers every once in a while. In case something unexpected happened.
As long as an army was equipped with warhorses, they would be the most troublesome cavalry army in the entire continent. This was because they had the ability to move as fast as the wind, which was deeply in line with the principle of military speed.
This was a basic common sense in this era. It was impossible for any country to have one or a few cavalry divisions around the imperial capital. This was a principle that all emperors understood very well. If it was a cavalry division, these emperors would probably wake up when they were sleeping! Just think about it, one division only needed two hours. One must know that in the eyes of all the emperors, there were no loyal subjects. Everyone was just a chess piece in their hands.
According to Lee Xiang's knowledge, the current ruler of Reiss Empire should be a wise and wise ruler, so he shouldn't make such a childish mistake, right?
It seemed like something was really going to happen! Could it really be related to this rebellion? But even if it was a rebellion, the Imperial Capital didn't need to do such a thing, because it was obviously defending some of the nearby forces. Could it be that the location of the riot wasn't far from the Imperial Capital? Could it be. . . Thinking of this, Dewey's heart stirred. He asked, "Where did the riot happen this time?"
