Crusader Kings: Prisoners of War

It was more than half a month later that Orville received the news of Conferciu's death in battle, and he was also quite troubled by this - his strategic plan once again failed to be fully implemented.

Originally, he had hoped that Ireland could contain Ivar's main force a little, because he definitely wanted to protect his territory in Ireland. This way Orville would have much less defensive pressure in the north. Now the plan has to start again.

He asked Tiya carefully in his tone: "We may need more manpower for naval warfare. Do you know any uncle, uncle or anyone else who can help us?"

Tiya shook her head simply: "My social circle is narrower than you think. I only know some people I have contact with at work. You have to write to your father for advice on this matter. Whether it is for personal relations or national interests, he Everyone will help.”

Orville shrugged and could only agree: "Okay, I'll do it in a moment. Maybe we really need help."

Historically, one or two legions were stationed in Britain for a long time, mainly to defend against the barbarian forces north of Hadrian's Wall. But when the situation was tense, four legions were needed to be stationed here. Orwell now only has one and a half legions. The available troops, including the support brought by Tiya, are two legions. These troops are only enough to maintain stability and deal with the scattered barbarians.

To deal with the organized and disciplined barbarian forces in Ivar, these people will be unable to do anything at all.

Tiya could understand this matter very well, and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I really can't spare more people, so I can only provide you with these people first. After I leave the Gallic province of Lugden, more people are needed there. Supervised by multiple people.

You can tell your father this. I hope other governors can help us share some of the pressure. At least let them deal with the pirates in the lowlands. We can't deal with these people at the same time, that's for sure. "

Until now, Orville has actually been losing money and making money for a lot of time. That is to say, he used his private property to subsidize the army so that he could barely maintain it. Otherwise, these people would have to deal with the Anglo-Saxons on the British Isles and the victors in the North at the same time. The Beijingers and the Franks were secretly providing resources behind their backs. A general with a weak family background or a unwillingness to spend money would not have been able to last this long.

But even if he burns so much money, Orville's family does not support him to win so many people, so he can only ask the emperor for intervention.

Since Orville has now conquered the British province and is not telling stories for the Senate, it is not difficult to get a stabilization fund and some military reinforcements.

Tiara pulled up a chair and sat opposite Orville, leaning her head on her head and looking at him: "Besides this matter, we have to think about how to deal with the aftermath. That guy Conforcius is dead, and the Kingdom of Ulster has lost its leader. Now it is certain that The situation is chaotic, how do we deal with this?”

When Confucius was mentioned, Tiya's eyebrows twitched obviously. Orville, who was familiar with the other person's micro-expressions, knew that this meant that she had some violent mood swings just now.

Orville was surprised: "You don't seem to like him very much. Is it my imagination?"

Not to mention it was okay, but when Orville mentioned this, Tia's expression turned into complete disgust: "I have already heard from Jeanne that the barbarians over there are very backward, and when noble guests come to visit, The habit of offering one's wife to distinguished guests is one of the most disgusting among the ridiculous myths of the Greeks.

The so-called King Confucius is the one who has always insisted on this ghost tradition. Although the death of a political ally has an impact on our overall situation, it is better for this kind of guy to meet Pluto (Hades) early, He and that god should have a common language. "

Just like Orville's imagination, although Tia has a very subtle hostility towards Jeanne Dacker, in fact, the three views of the two parties are quite similar, and they are both the ones with a stronger sense of morality in this chaotic ancient world. There is a small group of people, and these two are female talents who have survived in the army. They are quite independent in character. As long as they get along for a longer time, it is strange that there is no friendship between the two parties.

As expected, Tia and Jeanne have now become friends. However, when talking about Jeanne Dacre, Tia's tone will always be a little weird, and she will ask Orville questions in letters from time to time. , these are not big things in Orville's opinion. There should be no need to worry about any conflicts between two people who are so similar.

Like Jeanne, she did not have a high opinion of Conferciu, and Orville could understand this matter: "His affairs are not important now. What is important is how we deal with his death."

"That's right. I think Cu Chulainn may be a good choice. Isn't he Confuqiu's nephew? Because he is powerful and generous, he is also a very prestigious person among the locals. Let him be Al The king of St. should be more beneficial to us, and he is a man who knows everything."

Regarding this proposal, Orville shook his head and rejected the other party: "No, it is still inappropriate. His character is not suitable for being a king or a ruler, he is only suitable for being a person who charges into battle."

In the legend, Cú Chulainn is a descendant of the gods. He has the blood of the god Luger in Celtic mythology. He is considered a demigod hero. Although Cú Chulainn in this world is still very powerful, he is definitely not The so-called divine descendants are just normal noble children. Their mother is the king's sister, and he is the king's nephew.

Orville has been with him for a while. He basically doesn't have the ideas that a ruler should have, but he has the common problems of warriors: extreme pride, strong self-esteem, and he tries not to use his brain to solve things that can be solved with his hands. It's fine at ordinary times, but now Ulster needs someone with a more active brain to be the king, and pushing Cu Chulainn up would be a last resort.

Tiya understood Orville's thoughts, and nodded after hearing this: "Then maybe we should ask for help from someone else. We can't afford to delay this matter. There is one more thing, what does he think?"

"This is what I am most unsure about, so I can only say that we will act according to circumstances."

Tiya sighed again: "I hate this word the most, but it seems that there is no way now. We have too little understanding and control over those barbarians. Just do as you said, and see the situation this way first.

There is another thing, do you remember that Uncle Trajan (Old Trajan) has a son? His name is also Trajan. He should be sixteen or seventeen years old now, and he grew up in the Spanish province."

PS. Normally he should be twenty years old, but the plot requires him to be a few years younger, which corresponds to the age modification in Chapter 7.
