On February 1st, there was another heavy snowfall in the leaden sky, covered with layers of snow that had not yet melted. Walking in the mud, an army equipped with brand-new firearms trudged and arrived in Chelyabinsk.
Reinforcements from the Romanov Kingdom arrived.
This support army was all veterans who had been disbanded three years ago. They had already returned to their hometowns, but a transfer order from the kingdom still brought them to the front line.
"Transport all the supplies to the city and unload them!"
The bombed railway has not yet been repaired, and supplies to the front line can only be transported by horseback. This ancient method has always existed.
The leading colonel was a young man with a short beard, his hair was combed back and shiny, his cheeks were long, and his chin was slightly protruding, looking like a shoehorn.
He is Brekin Jorrus, the eldest son of the Earl Jorrus family, and he also wears the bull-head coat of arms of the Earl Jorrus family on his chest.
"Your Highness Katerina, I am here to assist you by order of the king."
Arriving at the command post in the city, Brooking wiped the snow off his shoulders, took off his thick velvet hat and leather gloves, and led several generals to find Katerina.
Looking at the group of military nobles behind Brooking, Katerina nodded, pointed to the empty chair next to her and said, "Sit down."
Goffman, who was wearing a brand new military uniform, had red cheeks, not because of the cold, but because of excitement.
He could finally work with His Highness, whom he had longed for. Looking at the other person's heroic figure, Goffman's palms trembled with excitement.
Onufri, Raffl, Makarov and other generals have no good feelings toward these noble children. They all think that they are flowers in the greenhouse and have not experienced the cruelty of war. What's more, they are still hostile noble factions... .
"Brooking and the others are not enemies. Not long ago, they swore allegiance to me."
Katerina asked someone to bring a few glasses of vodka to everyone and said softly: "From today on, we are all colleagues. I hope you can put aside your past prejudices and work together to fight the enemy."
Upon hearing the news of the surrender of the distinguished military nobles, Onufri and others showed astonishment. After looking at each other for a long time, they raised their glasses and expressed their welcome to Brooking, Goffman and others.
"This time we brought 50,000 reinforcements. They are all veterans with rich experience. They can go into battle directly without training."
As the leader of the children of military nobles, Brooking expressed his attitude: "Originally, His Majesty planned to ask the Boyar nobles to support His Highness, but at our strong request, the candidates were replaced by us. In this way, His Highness You have nothing to worry about, we will support you wholeheartedly!”
"Light shines on Romanov!"
In the sound of praise, everyone raised their heads and drank the strong wine in the cup.
Katerina looked at Mawei who was sitting aside: "There is also news from Berlin. The Fessa coalition has completed its retreat. If we want to launch an attack again, it will take at least a week to prepare. This time we have deployed near Berlin. I have an eye liner so that I can detect them as soon as they make any changes, Father... you can let them go."
Ma Wei put down the wine glass that only touched his lips, nodded and said, "Okay, leave the matter of William V to me."
"The next step is to cross the Ural Mountains and regain Yinzhevsk..."
While Katerina was discussing war operations with many generals, Mavey stood up and quietly left the command post.
He did not go directly to the hotel, but first went to the Black Castle, which stood tall in the center of the city, to visit Edward.
Ever since there were humans living in the Black Castle, this magnificent ancient building has gained a little more vitality. Edward gave the humans who chose to follow it the power to do whatever they wanted and no longer restricted them to the dungeon, which led to...
When Ma Wei entered the castle hall, the first thing he saw was not the exquisite murals and the solemn throne, but countless clothes hanging on ropes, waiting to dry.
Children shuttled back and forth among the cloth, laughing and playing, and the adults sat under the stone pillars chatting and spanking. The heavy atmosphere of the past was gone at this moment, and the hall had become a free activity room for human beings.
While Ma Wei took out the candies he carried and distributed them to the children, he walked straight through the hall and stepped onto the circular staircase under the leadership of the vampire members, all the way to the deepest part of the castle.
Pushing open the black stone door engraved with beautiful and complex patterns, the luminous stones hanging on the walls on both sides of the secret room suddenly lit up. Under the dim blue light, a transparent crystal coffin was quietly placed on a high platform in the center of the secret room.
Edward lay quietly in the crystal coffin, his black hair spread out like a fan, his expression peaceful, his fingers crossed on his chest. At the bottom of the crystal coffin, wisps of fine red flow poured into it from below the high platform.
While Mavey was observing the crystal coffin, Edward slowly opened his eyes, and the fine red flow surging under his body stopped abruptly. He pushed open the coffin lid and sat up: "Is something wrong?"
"How's your recovery going?"
"about there."
Compared to his pale complexion a few days ago, Edward has regained a lot of color at this moment. From the outside, he looks no different from a healthy person.
"If you recover, it's almost time for us to leave." Ma Wei said: "The whereabouts of the small church have been found out in the letter. I will rush over to join him. There are reinforcements on the front line, and there should be no Too big a problem.”
"oh."
Edward had no expression on his face: "Just go, I'll be fine, but if you leave, what will happen to Tyumen City?"
"That's why I'm here. I would like to ask you to leave a few members of the vampire clan in the church to act as a defensive force."
"Can."
"Then I'm leaving. You can continue to rest."
"correct...."
Just when Mavey was about to leave the secret room, Edward suddenly stopped him: "The human food in the Black Castle is almost gone. Is there any way you can replenish it?"
"Just take out some of the military supplies and I'll tell Katerina."
"good."
After leaving the Black Castle, Mavey went directly to the Hotel Street, which was a street away, and told William V and others that the Feisalian coalition forces had returned to Berlin.
"Can we go back?"
"Great! I don't want to stay in this stupid place for a long time! There is no sauerkraut elbow here!"
The ministers cheered and their excitement was palpable. Although Ma Wei couldn't understand what they were shouting, it was probably not a good thing.
"According to the previously agreed terms, we will send a cavalry to escort His Majesty William back to Berlin." Ma Wei bowed slightly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you can go home."
"Thank you for your care these days, Father Mavey." William V showed a rare smile: "Without you, we would have been torn alive by the soldiers outside."
"You are too polite, Your Majesty William. I hope that when you go back, you can be a good king for the country and the people... This is my gift to you."
Mawei took out several "Books of Truth" translated into the language of Frederick's Kingdom and handed them to William V's family.
"This is the doctrinal model used by your church?" William V flipped through a few pages and put them in the box: "I will keep it properly."
Before leaving, the two princesses reluctantly held on to Yunia. In the past few days, they had completely become good friends. They played together, ate together, and shared any good things with each other, although most of the time it was Yunia. He gave them things, but this feeling was indeed as Ma Wei expected, leaving a very deep impression on the two young princesses.
"Let's set off, Your Majesty William."
Mawei patted Daniel who was standing next to him, "I will take good care of Daniel, you don't have to worry about him."
"Then please."
William V picked up his two daughters, got into the carriage, and, escorted by a thousand cavalry and two vampires, set foot on the road back to Berlin.
In order to prevent leaks, only a few Guardsmen, including Bodlinov, except Mavey and Katerina, knew the specific time of William V's return.
They will travel day and night to avoid the war zone and return to Frederick's Kingdom as quickly as possible.
Watching the convoy go away, Crown Prince Daniel waved his hand, then looked at Ma Wei: "Father, what do you want me to do?"
"Call me teacher."
"Good teacher."
"From today on, you are no longer the crown prince of the Kingdom of Frederick, and I will not call you His Highness. You will become a monk of the Church of Truth and follow me. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Daniel nodded.
"Go and put on the monk's clothes I prepared for you. Remember, don't mention your last name to anyone."
"is teacher."
Daniel followed Bodelinov back to the hotel to change clothes. Watching him go away, Dino couldn't help but said: "Father, will this arouse his resistance?"
"He is very smart and hides his thoughts very deeply. He will never disobey me on the surface."
Ma Wei sighed worriedly: "Smart children are the hardest to be brainwashed...well, to receive education, I hope I can change him."
"If he doesn't obey, beat him!" Dino said confidently, "I'll beat Aaron all the time."
"....That's why Aaron chose to run away from home at the age of 16."
Ma Wei glanced at Dino and said earnestly: "Some people eat the soft but not the hard, some people eat the hard but don't eat the soft, and some people don't eat the soft... No matter what kind of temper Daniel has, stick education will help. It's not advisable, take your time, whether you can influence Daniel will determine our future action pattern towards Frederick's Kingdom, he is very important."
"Okay, I'm really not good at education. I'd better figure out how to make money for the church." Dino shrugged: "When will we return to Tyumen?"
"tonight."
"So urgent?"
"There is no point in staying on the front line. Katerina will leave soon, so we have to hurry up..."
Bending down to pick up Yunia, Ma Wei looked at the leaden and gloomy sky in the distance, and said in a calm voice:
"I want to see what kind of organizations those so-called schools of order and the Holy Light and Mythril Society are!"
