King’s Kingdom - Chapter 208

“The King’s Kingdom (

“What?” Mutariyaan exclaimed.

“You want to take the initiative? Don’t you know how many enemies there are?”

“As long as we continue to persevere, victory will be firmly in our hands! Why are you doing such a thing at this time?!”

“With all due respect, your country’s soldiers are indeed very powerful, and your cavalry is unparalleled in the world. I admit that, but the number of enemies is more than ten times yours. How dare you take the initiative to attack the enemy in such a situation. ? It’s already very difficult for us to defend the city!”

“If, if you take people out and are annihilated by the monsters, what will Ikpish do? What will the people in Ikpish do? You…”

Mutariyaan’s emotions were out of control, but when he said this, he stopped.

Because he saw Theodosius’ gloomy face.

“I mean, I am afraid that our current strength is not necessary to take the initiative to attack… If our elves still have an army of more than 10,000 people, I will definitely cooperate with you to send troops, but the problem is that our number is too small, We are not the opponents of monsters in frontal combat at all, we should be smarter and not be blinded by honor…”

Mutariya’an’s tone softened a lot, and he began to advise Theodosius, because he had already remembered that the main force of the defenders in Ikpixi was actually the army of the Lanyin Kingdom.

“Your Majesty Mutariyaan, if I remember correctly, we don’t seem to have any subordination to each other, or I’m the commander-in-chief of this war, isn’t that right?” Theodosius didn’t give Mutalia looked at him with a good face and said bluntly.

“…”

When Mutariyaan was told this by Theodosius, his face was a little overwhelmed, and his expression was ashen for a long while and he was speechless.

“Yes…you are the commander of this war…” After a while, Mutaliaan said.

“In this case, then my words should be orders. I have my own judgment on this war, so I hope you can obey this order!” Theodosius said.

“Okay…” Mutariyaan nodded unwillingly.

The cavalry troops are almost ready. The Iron Paladins, the Knights of the Rhine Kingdom, and the Prairie Hussars are all wearing their armor, the mounts of the Iron Paladins, more than fifty iron-boned horses, and the horses of the Rhine Knights. More than 200 excellent war horses, all wearing horse armor.

The horses that the hussars on the grasslands were also wearing their half-horse armors, and this group of iron warriors was ready to attack.

Theodosius also put on a four-layer iron armor under the service of Vico and Critidos, and Vico was also fully armed with the five-meter-long blade-shaped lance.

At the same time, on the southern border of the Rhine Kingdom.

It is already a tense situation. The army of the northern lords of the northern empire has gathered on the border of the two countries. Although the royal army has not been mobilized, it has already confronted each other.

January 4, 869 in the Hilkati calendar.

This day was the third day after the troops of the Northern Empire came to the border of the two sides. It was not too early for them to actually send troops. After Theodosius left for more than two months, they appeared here slowly.

The reason why the new monarch of the Northern Empire, Tumbadri, did not lead the army to expedition was that the country had not yet decided to launch a war against the Kingdom of Rhine.

In fact, the political situation in the imperial capital of the Northern Empire was already very chaotic at this time, and the lords and political forces of all parties were wrangling over the policies of the Lanyin Kingdom.

Their demands are also varied.

The most conservative faction hopes not to start this war, because the strength of the Lanyin Kingdom’s army is obvious to all. Although the army of the Northern Empire has been rebuilt, coupled with His Majesty’s hard work, it has recovered, but in this situation It is not appropriate to rush to war against this northern neighbor.

What’s more, the opponent’s army is going north to fight monsters, and the opponent’s propaganda is in place, this wartime rhetoric of fighting for all human beings has been solidified.

If you take advantage of the danger at this time, it will inevitably lead to the decline of the country’s diplomatic credibility, be despised by public opinion, and be criticized by thousands of people.

Even if they really want to fight, they have to wait a few years for the empire to accumulate enough strength to destroy the enemy in the north with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

In short, wanting to start a war at this stage is not allowed.

There are quite a few political forces who hold this attitude, and not all of them are necessarily of this kind of thinking, maybe just because of political struggle, such a decision is beneficial to them.

A more radical idea is to launch a war threat against the Lanyin Kingdom, and give an ultimatum while the king does not return to the extreme, and take back the land ceded in the previous war.

Or send troops to pay down the lost land, create a fact, and then station heavy troops locally, so that even if King Lanyin returns with the army, there is no way to deal with this fait accompli.

There are also many people who support this argument. After the land ceded to the Lanyin Kingdom has been cleared by the gentry and the rebellion war, there are large areas of unclaimed land. If these places are taken back, it will undoubtedly belong to the entire noble class. A gluttonous feast.

This proposal can benefit the vast majority of nobles~www.mtlnovel.com~ Therefore, it has also been crowded by many people, and it is equally powerful.

As for the most radical, it is hoped to launch a full-scale war against the Lanyin Kingdom, because there is no such thing as lords and nobles in the entire Lanyin Kingdom, and such a large piece of land belongs to the land without owners.

Although the land in the northern part of Lanyin is less fertile than that of the central Great Plains, it has only been developed for more than 40 years, so the land is still fertile.

What’s more, before that, the Kingdom of Rhine had dumped a lot of food to the Northern Empire. If this country could be conquered, the food crisis faced by the Empire would be resolved in an instant.

Even if King Lanyin with 30,000 troops came back from the Hengduan Mountains, he was nothing but a rootless weed. Even if he could fight again, the soldiers under him would have no homes, and he would have no treasure to reward the soldiers. fight the empire?

There are many people in support of this radical proposal, but there are also many people against it, and although the benefits are greatest, it also entails the greatest risks.

First of all, it has to bear the reputation of perfidy, and secondly, the return of the army of the Lanyin Kingdom may cause huge losses to the empire.

Third, although the regular army of the Lanyin Kingdom has been withdrawn, they have a complete reserve system, and men from all over the country can assemble at an extremely fast speed to form an army.

This army may not be elite enough, but the number is definitely enough. Moreover, after the war against rebellion, the Lanyin Kingdom has not demolished the local castle. If these soldiers are stationed in, then the empire will undoubtedly cost a huge price for every step forward.

What’s more, the queen of the Lanyin Kingdom is still the princess of the kingdom of Milos, the hussars in the west, and the only daughter of Bolet Khan. With such a close relationship, could the gang of prairie barbarians just sit back and ignore it?
