King’s Kingdom

Because the messenger who declared war brought the news of war, it was understandable that he was not respectful. Unlike hundreds of years ago, in the past five hundred years, everyone has considered themselves civilized. , which gave the messenger the confidence to declare war.

But now, Baron Duran has learned from what he saw along the way that the result of this war does not seem to be crushing the Lanyin Kingdom as some people have speculated.

On the contrary, those sturdy warriors, sophisticated equipment, and strict military discipline made Baron Duran feel that the status of the two was reversed.

The news that is almost well-known among the middle and upper-class nobles of the Northern Empire is often difficult to be known by the lower-level nobles, and what the lower-level nobles know will not be known by the common people. Knowledge monopoly news is still the main theme of this era.

"Hmm..." Theodosius nodded noncommittally, took the gauntlet in the opponent's hand, and waved him away.

This war was provoked by him. If he did not have an absolute advantage, he would not start it. Now that the other party sent a letter of war, he did not want it.

In fact, his mentality is a bit contradictory now. He wants to delay the time and let the opponent lose the battle due to lack of food. What he arranged before, including the lack of food and harassment, was based on this purpose.

However, the information sent from afar yesterday said that the Central Empire is gearing up to prepare for war, and the rumors spread are that they are going to attack the separatist regime of the Hilkati Empire in the west, but how can there be such a coincidence in the world? Theodosius goes to war against the Northern Empire, and you go to war with it.

To say that the Northern Empire has an alliance with the western regime, and to declare war while the Lanyin Kingdom attacked the Northern Empire and the allies of the Western separatist forces could not send troops, would be excusable, but the problem is that the Northern Empire has always The location is remote, and many of the local nobles were promoted by civilian leaders. They were not from aristocratic backgrounds before, or could not trace their ancestors back to the nobles. As a result, the reputation of the Northern Empire is the worst among the seven separatist forces.

Not to mention that people hate dogs, but no one really wants to form an alliance with them.

Not to mention that the Northern Empire at that time was thwarted by a small country like the Lanyin Kingdom, and its weak attributes have been exposed. Now the Lanyin Kingdom has taken the initiative to declare war on the Northern Empire, and someone is sharing the main force of the other party. Hey, I want to share. A cup of soup is a normal thing, right?

Anyway, Theodosius felt that anything aimed at the Western separatist forces was nonsense.

Although the regimes in the west that have been in contact with the barbarians for a long time are not very powerful, they are quite skilled in colluding with foreigners to fight, and if they really fight, they might stab a hornet's nest.

Although the strength of the central empire may not cause too many problems, it will definitely inevitably fall into the quagmire of war.

This is probably not cost-effective for Ikaven IV.

As far as Diodosi knows, the seven separatist regimes can maintain peace for up to seven years, except that the elite military region professional soldiers died in those years, and there is no one regime can guarantee the other regimes. The war will be won, and once the main force is dragged, it will inevitably attract the coveting of other forces.

Although the snipe and clam fight for the fisherman and the man to gain profit does not exist in the common sayings of this world, the truth is always deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Even if it was as strong as the Central Empire, with the highest legitimacy, occupying the entirety of the entire Central Province, sitting in the land of knights, and having the largest population in the Seven Kingdoms, it would not dare to say that it would be able to annex or completely defeat that regime within a year.

As a result, since seven years ago, a strange balance has begun between the seven major forces.

Every regime does not dare to expand and start wars at will, but it is extremely eager to increase its national strength. This is also the reason why the Northern Empire invaded the Lanyin Kingdom.

Although the Lanyin Kingdom is a small country with few people, it has reclaimed a lot of land, and the people are brave and good at fighting, and annexing it is equivalent to adding 10,000 or 20,000 elite soldiers and several million acres of good-quality arable land, which is very useful for enhancing national strength. Help is by no means tasteless.

At that time, the rest of the countries were very envious of this, because those small forces were completely annexed in the first ten years of the split. Only the Lanyin Kingdom was remote because of its remote location, and it was still a bird when the split began. The rotten land of shit, coupled with the reputation of pioneering human beings, is also very good, and all countries have a good impression of it.

Until more than three years ago, the development of the Lanyin Kingdom was really good, which attracted the coveted by the Northern Empire.

It can be said that it was the largest war that took place in the homeland of the Hilkati Empire in several years.

After maintaining peace for seven whole years, now you are taking such a big risk to attack the western countries. The land is not very populated, the land is not fertile enough, and there is no production world like Wendu County, the home of knights. Where there are strong soldiers, who can believe it?

This is also the reason why Theodosius is entangled. If he continues to delay, he will really have to get a share of the central empire, which is not acceptable to him.

In his vision, if the Lanyin Kingdom wants to rise, or to achieve his own hegemony, he must at least completely eat the northern empire. If this is eaten by the central empire, it must be meat. Steamed Bun has gone back and forth. For now, even if he achieves his goal and eats half of the territory of the Northern Empire in this battle, it will be difficult to fight against the Central Empire.

In addition to the fighting to the death of the soldiers on the frontal battlefield~www.readwn.com~ the elite army has no fear of death, there is another important factor that affects the war, and that is national strength.

The strength of the Central Empire is unique among the Seven Kingdoms, and even the Lanyin Kingdom and the Northern Empire are not as strong as others, not to mention the other party has such a semi-ally as the Southern Empire. In order to obtain a stable lie, that is also the environment, male. In addition to maintaining a large number of regular troops, the empire will also pay a lot of military expenses to the central empire. The main thing is that the war will not spread across the central empire to the south. With such a terrifying national strength in hand, even if the army of the Lanyin Kingdom is unparalleled in the world, he Don't dare to act rashly.

With a population of 30 to 40 million, more than 90 million mu of top-grade fertile fields with an average yield of 500 kilograms per mu, a strong knight culture, and there is a steady stream of top knights from Wenduo County, the hometown of knights, not to mention sophisticated equipment. The northern impoverished forces of the Northern Empire can be compared. Even if half of the Northern Empire is swallowed up, the population will hardly exceed 10 million. Compared with the Central Empire, it is still short and poor, and people are still tall, rich and handsome.

Therefore, he also hopes to have a quick battle, at least to have a chance to respond to the upcoming offensive of the Central Empire, at least to avoid a considerable part of the passive, but on the contrary, most of the strategies previously arranged will be in vain, Still have to go hand in hand with a large army of the enemy, and it is difficult to achieve his expectations of victory at a very small price.
