The Principality of Buzeredo is located in a "Ji"-shaped depression somewhere in the Yabuprofen Mountains. Its land is almost all plains, and the land is extremely fertile. At the same time, its national territory is bordered by mountains and surrounded by mountains on three sides. A barrier belt was naturally formed, which just separated the empire's military power from the mountains.

And because of certain historical factors, the entire Principality of Buzeledo worshiped religion throughout the country, and thus received the protection of the church. Except for the empire, no one was willing to provoke Buzeledo.

Under the combined effect of various factors, the Duchy of Boozeredo has obtained a unique and peaceful environment in the troubled times. Originally, such a country should be like some small Nordic countries in Katerina's previous life. It's nothing to do, to follow the great powers in order to gain their own safety.

However, there was an unexpected situation. Not long ago, a heavy rain that never happened in a millennium fell on the Principality of Boozeredo. In just a few days, the precipitation reached an astonishing hundreds of millimeters, which is equivalent to almost falling from the sky. A piece of sea!

Because of Buzeredo's special geographical location, the rainwater that fell couldn't be drained in a short period of time, eventually turning the whole country into a vast ocean.

What is even more unfortunate is that it is midsummer at this time, and it will be autumn soon. Farmers have been busy for half a year. As a result, due to the heavy rain, countless fields and houses were flooded, and the results of half a year of hard work disappeared in an instant. , and even the previous savings no longer exist.

Agriculture is the foundation of the country, because people have to eat. If there is no food to eat, then hunger will drive human beings back into beasts. At that time, all order will cease to exist, and hungry mobs will destroy everything.

The nobles who are rulers naturally understand this truth, but they understand that in the face of natural disasters, the nobles who are still in the feudal period have nothing to do.

In normal times, you can still buy grain from abroad to ease the urgent need, but the current two camps are full of gunpowder, and grain is the most basic strategic resource. All countries are doing their best to collect it, and it is impossible to sell it outside.

Afterwards, because of the lack of food, the plot in Boozeredo's country began to develop according to the usual routine during the disaster period. The civilians who had no food were affected by various negative emotions, and finally began to rebel under the impetus of those who cared. And those nobles who still have food on hand have naturally become the target of public criticism.

When the aristocratic class as the ruler was hostile and defeated by the violent civilians, the internal order of Boozeredo disappeared, and the whole country became chaotic from top to bottom.

There is a saying in this world that when a strong fortress is about to collapse, the wealth hidden in the fortress is bound to attract evil dragons.

At this moment, this proverb was fulfilled. As the internal turmoil in the principality of Boozeredo intensified, some ambitious people were like sharks that smelled blood, and quickly surrounded them. King Bollaire was also one of them, and It is still the most powerful one among the predators.

The Kingdom of Borrel is located in the northern region. Although the land area is huge, it is not inferior to the empire, but most of its land is located in the frigid zone, and the farming conditions are extremely poor. The king of the extreme north wants more Cultivated land, such a small country with superior geographical conditions and weak strength like the Principality of Buzeledo, has been targeted for a long time, but because of the dual constraints of the church and the empire, it is really difficult to start, so it has no action.

But now, the internal chaos in the Principality of Buzeledo gave King Bohrel an opportunity.

After a series of operations, King Bollaire successfully persuaded the church to give up the protection of the Buzeledo Principality by relying on the banner of fighting against the empire. At the same time, he reached a consensus with other predators. The resistance to annexing the Principality of Boozeredo disappeared, and when King Borrel was about to get what he wanted, an accident happened... The Lord of the Principality of Buzeredo ---- Grand Duke Zenosi suddenly rebelled!

To be honest, King Borrel hadn't really considered such a development before. On the one hand, it was because the Grand Duke Zenosi, who had been too "mean" in the past, was a tolerant person no matter how you looked at it. Good old man, no one thought that such a person would be able to do rebellious things.

On the other hand, the army of the Principality of Boozeredo is extremely weak in combat effectiveness, and King Bollaire, whose army is strong enough to confront the empire head-on, doesn't take it seriously at all, so he never considered the Principality of Buzeledo's betrayal at all. possible.

But what King Bollaire never expected was that such a weak brigade, such a weak monarch, not only dared to rebel, but also caused immeasurable damage to the current overall situation.

Going back to the topic of geographical location, surrounded by the Yabuprofen Mountains on three sides, the Principality of Buzeledo is isolated from the empire's territory, but the two sides are not really completely isolated. There is a gap between the Yabuprofen Mountains A canyon, crossing this canyon can connect the two countries.

However, because this canyon is too steep and narrow, the narrowest point can only allow two people to walk side by side, which is not only not conducive to the logistics of the army, but also it is too difficult to conquer this place. The defenders only need to garrison poles on the mountains on both sides With a small number of troops, and then stuck at the pass, even if an army of [-] comes, they can only return with hatred.

In addition, the army stationed in the canyon at this time is the cataract of the church. Once an attack is deemed to be a declaration of war on the church, therefore, even though the confrontation between the two camps is currently escalating, neither the empire nor the anti-imperial alliance This canyon is included in the strategic line of sight.

However, to everyone's surprise, this canyon, which was regarded as an invincible canyon, was actually captured by the army of the Principality of Buzeledo.

The method of conquering is very simple. According to reliable sources, the Grand Duke of Zenosi, relying on his relationship with the church, easily harmed the defenders of the canyon with poisoned wine and food, and then the ownership of the canyon changed hands. Grand Duke Nuoxi's betrayal, the situation on the mainland changed dramatically in an instant.

Since the Atal Plain, which connects multiple kingdoms, is behind the canyon, there is no danger at all. Once the imperial army appears here, it can easily threaten the hinterlands of many countries. Therefore, when the imperial cavalry appeared along the canyon When they were on the Attar Plain, the world was shocked.

According to the consistent thinking of human society, it is natural to find someone to take responsibility for such a big incident. As a matter of course, as the main planner who provoked this incident, King Boerrel immediately became the target of everyone's accusations .

At present, in the face of the threat of the imperial army, all countries have expressed their stances to demand that King Borrel come out and take responsibility. As the object of accusation, King Borrel is really suffering, and then what happened just now.

"so..............."

After the woman finally figured out the context of the matter, she first nodded thoughtfully, then tilted her head to look at her man,

"The main purpose of those people is actually to let us deal with the imperial army on Buzeredo's side, right?"

Hearing the woman's question, King Boerrel's irritability surged into his heart again, but he didn't lose his temper, but just nodded helplessly. Then, before he could elaborate on the difficulties he was facing, he Hearing the woman's calm voice,

"In that case...then promise them!"

When the voice fell, the audience was shocked.

Chapter 195 191. Foreign Aid

At this moment, seeing that everyone had a hellish expression, the woman didn't panic, but asked calmly,

"It seems that you have doubts, so... Is there something wrong with my proposal?"

Of course not!It's so wrong!

Hearing the woman's rhetorical question, all the people present were hesitant to speak. In the end, it was King Borel who coughed a few times in a concealed manner, and explained in a harmonious voice,

"De Gema, things are not as simple as you imagined."

"According to the news from Boozeredo, at present, one of the four elite knights of the empire, the Girton Knights, has arrived at the Atal Plain, and has also gained the control of Boozeder .”

"Under such circumstances, if we want to fight the imperial army, even if we let our elite army go into battle, the chances of winning are too low......"

"Could it be that the battle is not fought because the odds of winning are low?" The next moment, before King Borel could finish speaking, the woman suddenly interrupted,

"Your Majesty, if you really think so, the empire will be very happy if they find out."

Hearing the woman's words, King Borrel's mouth twisted, and he was very happy.

"De Gema, what are you talking about? Do I want to foolishly send the army to the battlefield knowing that I will lose in battle?"

"Yes!" Facing the questioning words uttered by King Borrel for the first time, the woman was not afraid at all, but responded with a firmer tone,

"Even if we know that we must lose, we must fight this battle, because the people around us are a group of cowards and cowards. It is up to us to maintain the current situation. If we don't fight, then there is nothing People are on board!"

"At that time, the imperial army will be able to drive straight from the Atal Plain with no difficulty. When the soldiers approach the city, it will be too late to say anything."

After the voice fell, the hall fell silent again, and this time, everyone did not refute the woman's proposal, but thought seriously along with the woman's statement.

After a long time, a figure in military uniform suddenly appeared out of the crowd,

"Father, I agree with Wang Hao's proposal. We must fight this battle, and the sooner we send troops, the better!"

When the voice sounded, everyone's eyes turned away in an instant, and after seeing the identity of the military figure clearly, everyone in the hall instinctively widened their eyes, as if they had seen something amazing.

At this moment, the reason why this happens is because the identity of this man in uniform is the second prince of the Kingdom of Borrel --- Mikhail Romanov. This second prince is King Borrel Born to the original queen, the relationship with the current princess is very bad, the main reason is the battle for the throne.

Currently, Mikhail, who is the second prince, is in his early 40s. Although the current princess is young, she has a ten-year-old son. As King Borrel is about to enter his 60s, the battle for the throne between the two sides It is becoming more and more fierce, and the relationship between the two in the political field is almost a deadly enemy.

Therefore, when Mikhail suddenly stood up and expressed his support for the woman's political opinions, everyone was so shocked.

After the shock, many people with keen political acumen quickly realized a problem. When the second prince Mikhail chose to reach a consensus with the current princess, it meant that the two largest political forces in the Kingdom of Borrel agreed. The topic has actually set the tone, and it may be imperative to send troops to the Atal Plain.

After realizing this fact, some people who were still waiting and watching immediately lost their hesitation in their hearts. However, just as they were impatiently preparing to stand in line, they heard King Boerrel suddenly say,

"Mikhail, tell me your reason."

"Yes, father."

Hearing the questioning voice with an unclear tone coming from his ear, Mikhail's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at his father without any evasion.

"I visited the allied countries not long ago, and I have met the rulers of many countries, and among them, there are basically few people with firm will. If we do nothing, they may immediately choose to withdraw from the front line to protect themselves, and we will be very troublesome at that time."

"In addition, among the countries of the alliance, there are mainly three countries whose territories are directly connected to the Atal Plain, the Kingdom of Norchi, Artim, and Vikerk."

"First of all, rule out the weak country of Vikerk. In the face of this imperial invasion, only Norci and Artim are capable of confronting it. However, these two countries are currently facing extremely serious political problems."

"Especially Artim, the current situation over there is that the king is bewitched by a woman, and the entire upper echelon of the kingdom is falling into a full-scale power struggle......"

At this point, Mikhail seemed to realize something. He suddenly paused slightly, and then bowed to the woman standing beside the king to apologize. After the woman accepted the apology blankly, he then keep talking,

"In short, our allies may not be able to count on them. If we don't take the initiative to send troops to the top, when the empire's iron hooves completely trample on the Atal Plain, the will of our allies is likely to be completely destroyed."

"And if our allies can't bear the pressure and choose to compromise with the empire, or even give up resistance, the situation we will face next will become unprecedentedly difficult."

"So, I agree with Wang Hao's proposal, we must continue this battle."

"But, Your Highness......" After listening to Mikhail's words, someone couldn't help but said,

"The current imperial army entrenched in the Buzeledo Principality is the Girton Knights, one of the four major knight orders of the empire. To deal with them, it is absolutely impossible to rely on a temporary army. It must be our elite troops. "

"But now most of our elite troops are deployed in the border area, and there is no way to get away. If we want to fight the empire in Boozeret, where can we mobilize an elite army that can fight against the imperial army? "

After the voice fell, there was a slight commotion in the crowd, and many people nodded their heads one after another, obviously sharing the same worries. However, before the commotion expanded further, they heard an obviously female voice, which suddenly sounded in the hall ,

"No, we still have an elite army in our hands!"

And an elite army?

At this moment, upon hearing these astonishing words, everyone instinctively turned their gazes to the source of the voice, and watched the crowd focus their attention on themselves, and the woman standing beside King Borel did not evade at all. Instead, facing everyone's suspicious eyes, he held his head high and said,

"Everyone, have you forgotten that not long ago, didn't we just use the hands of the Burros to train a new rifle regiment?"

"That is an elite force that we have spent a lot of money to build, and the Azure Queen has already proved the strength of this new type of legion on the battlefield. Why don't we let them fight against the imperial cavalry?"

The voice rang, and the hall fell silent for a moment.

At this time, after being reminded by the woman, everyone present quickly remembered the new army trained with a lot of money, and their eyes lit up. However, when some people who supported the start of the war wanted to say something, someone spoke first road,

"His Royal Highness, I'm afraid this move is a bit inappropriate."

Seeing that her proposal was questioned again, the concubine still had no troubles on her face, but after glancing at the speaker, she said calmly,

"It turned out to be His Excellency Earl Claude, what is wrong with my proposal? Please advise."

"It's like this..." Although no emotion could be heard from the woman's voice, the doubter, who was called Earl Claude, knew that he had offended the other party, but He still insisted on speaking,

"His Royal Highness, I was responsible for the reception of Burrose's special training officer corps when they came to the capital, and I also arranged for the follow-up matters related to the formation of the corps."

"I have personally participated in the training of that rifle regiment, and my two sons are serving in the regiment now, so, for this new regiment, no one here should know it better than me."

"It is precisely because of this that I oppose the deployment of this legion to fight against the imperial army."

Having said this, Earl Claude paused slightly, seeing that everyone's eyes were firmly focused on him, and then continued to explain to everyone in an affirmative tone,

"It must be admitted that the new army created by the [Azure Queen], in addition to the slightly higher cost, does have greater advantages than ordinary legions. It is not only easy to form, quick to form an army, and has simple recruitment conditions. , This new type of army has a strong combat effectiveness, as long as it is commanded properly, it can easily defeat any old infantry regiment at a small cost in field battles."

"but!"

"This advantage is limited to fighting infantry regiments. When the enemy is an elite knight regiment, their performance is not even as good as that of ordinary infantry regiments."

At this point, Earl Claude surrounded the people in the hall with a heavy expression, and his tone became low.

"It's not that I'm alarmist. When I participated in the training of this new army before, the special training officers from Burrows once warned me very clearly, telling me not to regard the Rifle Corps as a panacea. The Rifle Corps also has its own disadvantages. , Once targeted by the enemy, it is easy to be completely defeated."

"Later, I also tested it myself, and I can basically confirm that what they said is correct. The advantages and disadvantages of the Rifle Legion are very obvious, and the Girton Knights of the Empire just restrained the strength of the Rifle Legion. This elite force will be wasted in vain."

At this moment, after listening to Earl Claude's speech, the other nobles in the hall who originally wanted to express their support for sending troops fell into hesitation again.

Seeing this scene, the second prince Mikhail and Princess Degma squinted their eyes at the same time. After the two secretly looked at each other, Princess Degma spoke first,

"Your Excellency, you are the most talented person among all of us. I have no intention of questioning your authority in the military field, but I still want to ask..."

"Is it your own opinion that the Rifle Corps cannot be used against cavalry, or is it an admonition given to us by the Boorros?"
