Chapter 729: The Battle of the Muhawiz Fortress (Part 1)
Holy Hiran Empire, Muhavitz Fortress, Vasili's bedroom.
His Majesty Vasili, the Emperor of the Holy Hiran Empire, was sitting at the head of his bed in his bedroom, watching the dancers who were performing in front of his bed.
He looked bored while watching the dance performance.
The wonderful performance of the dancers did not seem to interest him.
After forcing himself to watch for a while, Vasili finally waved his hand impatiently:
"Stop dancing! Get out!"
Vasili's extremely impatient tone scared the dancers.
Worried that they would further annoy His Majesty, they quickly filed out and left Vasili's bedroom.
After the dancers left the bedroom, a middle-aged man who had been standing by Vasili's bed just now bowed to Vasili and asked:
"Your Majesty, don't you like the dance of this dancer group?"
This middle-aged man was the Prime Minister of the Holy Hiran Empire and Vasili's first favorite - Mond Dubois.
After Vasili decided to lead the army in person, Mond followed Vasili to Mukhavets Fortress and stayed there with Vasili until now.
"No, the dancing of this dancer group is great. I just don't have the mood to watch the dance performance now."
After sighing lightly, Vasili lifted the quilt on his body, stood up, walked to the window sill with his hands behind his back, and looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window.
"When can we capture the Avalon Fortress..."
Vasili looked worried about the country and the people.
"I really can't bear to squeeze the people's strength like this anymore..."
Vasili didn't know that after he said this, Mond's face behind him showed a mocking smile.
- What do you mean you can't bear to squeeze the people's strength? You just want to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible.
Mond, who has been a shrewd man in the officialdom for a long time, naturally understands what Vasili is thinking.
Vasili didn't care about national strength or people's strength at all.
In his cognition, the "superpower" he ruled had a strong national strength far superior to other countries.
Vashili's current appearance of worrying about the country and the people was just worrying about not being able to return to the prosperous imperial capital.
When he decided to lead the army in person, Vasili made a harsh statement: He would not leave Mukhavets Fortress until he took down Avalon Fortress, and he would live and die with his soldiers.
So, Vasili stayed in Mukhavets Fortress until now.
Vashili regretted it now.
Mukhavets Fortress was a military fortress, and in terms of prosperity, it could not be compared with the imperial capital.
Vashili was tired of the poor Mukhavets Fortress and wanted to return to the prosperous imperial capital.
But he had already boasted that he would not return to the imperial capital until he took down Avalon Fortress.
If he left Mukhavets Fortress now, it would be equivalent to breaking his original promise.
Vasili thought that this would make him lose face.
In order not to lose face, Vasili had been holding on and resisting his desire to return to the imperial capital.
While resisting this desire, he also hoped that the front-line army could break through the Avalon Fortress as soon as possible.
This would allow him to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible.
Mond, who had already lived a life of wisdom and was good at guessing Vasili's thoughts, knew Vasili's idea very well.
But he did not point it out.
The reason why Mond was able to get to the high position of the prime minister of the empire was not because of his strong ability.
But because he was good at pleasing Vasili.
Mond squeezed out a few tears very skillfully, wiped away the tears, and said in an excited tone:
"Your Majesty cares so much about the people's strength, which is a great blessing for our people!"
Mond was so skilled at patting the horse of Vasili, who was ambitious and face-loving.
With just a few simple words, Mond successfully made Vasili smile.
"Forget it, I don't want to think too much, my men will definitely take down the Avalon Fortress! I'd better wait slowly!"
After saying that, Vasili returned to bed.
"Your Majesty, do you need to ask the imperial concubines to sleep with you?"
In order to have some fun in the poor Mukhavets Fortress, which has almost no entertainment activities and facilities, Vasili brought a few of his favorite concubines from the palace.
"No, I just asked them to sleep with me this afternoon. I just want to sleep well tonight. Lord Monde, you should also rest early. I suddenly want to hunt, so let's go hunting in the suburbs tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened!"
Just then, an old voice suddenly came from outside the bedroom.
Vashili and Monde both heard that this was the chief logistics officer of the expeditionary army-Senior Quartermaster Dmitry Lebedev.
After the war began, Dmitry had been stationed in the Mukhavets Fortress, conducting overall dispatch and overall management of the army's logistics supplies.
"Come in, Lord Dmitri."
After getting permission from His Majesty to enter the room, Dmitri hurriedly pushed open the door.
"Lord Dmitri, what's the hurry?"
"Your Majesty! Urgent military intelligence has just arrived! A large-scale Britannia army has landed at the Port of Clearwater! The defenders of the Port of Clearwater and the naval forces stationed there have been completely wiped out!"
Vashili, Mond: "What?!"
As soon as Dmitri finished speaking, Vasili and Mond exclaimed in unison.
Then, Dmitri explained in detail all the intelligence he had obtained so far.
After learning that the Britannia Army that landed at the Blue Water Port was missing, Vasili opened his mouth and said anxiously:
"Where did this Britannia Army go? Could it be that they were planning to attack the Mukhavets Fortress from the rear?"
"It is very likely." Dmitri said in a deep voice, "If I were the commander of this army, I would definitely choose the Mukhavets Fortress as my first target."
