King’s Kingdom

The entire Rhine Kingdom has begun full-scale preparations for war. Since the order to recruit all combatable soldiers was issued, all trained and armed warriors began to gather towards Rhine City.

A group of levies closer to Lanyin City have arrived first, and Count Camota and other military chiefs have also made preparations.

According to the roster, they organized these conscripts into brigade squads, and they were conducting temporary training sessions.

Yes, these people also have a system. The population of the Lanyin Kingdom is only a little over 200,000. Being able to stand in the northern part of the mainland for 40 years naturally has its own ability.

Because of the popularization of papyrus, young and middle-aged people from all over the world are recorded in the books. They work in agriculture in peacetime, train in their spare time, and serve in the army in wartime. After they are assembled, they all have their own positions. As long as some officers are dispatched, they can immediately form a certain combat effectiveness. .

In the main castle of Lanine, the military chiefs gathered here for the final discussion, waiting for Theodosius to make a decision.

"Your Majesty, we have made all the preparations. At the beginning of the border conflict between the Northern Empire and us, our food and logistics have been prepared, and now a large amount of food has been loaded, waiting for your order!"

Earl Randall is the Minister of Logistics and Warehousing of the Lanyin Kingdom. It is his responsibility to store materials in the warehouse and to arrange grain and grass. The fiery red hair represents his character to a certain extent. The Northern Empire's provocation had been prepared for war from the very beginning.

Theodosius nodded with satisfaction, and then saw Sir Camota stand up again. The military chief of the Central Military District was Theodosius himself, and he was the commander of the Rydermen Military District. He owned huge land assets. , a distant relative of the Orteban family.

"Your Majesty, our conscripts are also rushing to Lanyin City, and the other four military districts will arrive one after another within three days. It is estimated that we can gather 14,000 people within a month. army!"

Hearing the words, Theodosius nodded again, and then said to a middle-aged man with black hair, "Count Olander, what did the Northern Empire say? Do they have any explanation for this border conflict?"

Earl Orland is also a member of the Orteban family, and he is in charge of the diplomatic affairs of the Rhine Kingdom.

"Unfortunately, Your Majesty, our messenger was blocked after crossing the border, and even failed to have a positive dialogue with the Northern Empire. Judging from their behavior, it seems that this time they are determined to oppose us!"

"Your Majesty, our spies have been collecting information on the Northern Empire, and the information shows that this time they are provoking disputes out of the mentality of annexing us, with the intention of resisting the growing Western Empire and consolidating the authority of the new monarch. !" Count Pirka is also a member of the Orteban family, and he is responsible for the collection of intelligence.

"In other words, there's nothing to talk about, right?"

I have to admit that Theodosius was frightened by the military power in the hands of the other side. If the difference in power between the two sides was not so disparate, he would not be so.

But such a military gap of four or five times cannot be reversed by thirty allied cavalry and two hundred fortified infantry. If there are other options, he is completely willing to talk to the other party.

"It's a pity, I'm afraid it is!" Count Pirka said with a gloomy face: "I think the other party's mentality is that they have decided on us. Even if they want to negotiate, they will probably have to wait until they have the upper hand before proceeding to the next peace talks with us. Otherwise, the new monarch will not be able to achieve the purpose of establishing majesty, and at the same time, the benefits will be maximized!"

"Exactly!" Count Camota said loudly, "but only if they can defeat us! If the Northern Empire is defeated on the battlefield, I am afraid that it is not us who need to cede land for peace!"

"That's right! As long as the Northern Empire can be overwhelmed, nothing will be a problem!"

The people present agreed in a loud voice, even the nobles who did not deal with the Count of Camota agreed with this sentence. The nobles who believe in the God of War sect are so virtuous and their voices are full of desire for war and victory. , even dying in battle will be considered an honor.

"The premise is... you can really win!" Theodosius lamented in his heart, but on the surface, he was also full of fighting spirit. There was no other reason. Apart from the war, there was no other way for the Rhine Kingdom to go.

The only thing that brought some comfort to Theodosius was that, even with such a disparity in power, none of these nobles showed their fear of the Northern Empire and their resistance to war.

"Your Majesty is someone who is favored by the God of War. The Northern Empire is bound to fail miserably. The false king who wants to stand up for our Majesty has chosen the wrong opponent. This mistake will definitely make it a dead bone in the grave!" Jian, pointed to the sky and said loudly, knelt down on one knee and said, "My king will win the battle!"

"My king will win the battle!"

Theodosius was also excited by this group of people, but instead of losing his mind, he fell into deep thought.

"What other bargaining chip do I have in my hands?" Theodosius couldn't help but think, UU reading www.uukanshu.com In terms of absolute strength, there is no doubt that the Northern Empire has formed a crush on the Lanyin Kingdom, but he I feel like I still have hope of winning.

Watching this group of military officers keep arguing about the next tactics, Theodosius felt a little bored. Although this group of people had excellent military literacy, their thinking was still too rigid, even the Count of Camota did not. Being able to get away from the idea of ​​a frontal field battle with the enemy, he kept discussing what kind of tactics would be more suitable.

Finally, Theodosius suddenly had an idea.

"It doesn't matter how long he comes, I'll just go all the way!" The king slammed the armrest, and he found strategic inspiration from the old slave.

At this time, his biggest advantage is that he has a part of the elite soldiers, and at the same time, the military district system retained by the Rhine Kingdom is the key to victory.

The unified command of the military region is directly under the command of the king. Compared with the system that requires the lord's army to be summoned from various places, there is a time advantage, except that the cost is much higher, almost all of them are advantages.

He can now take advantage of the fact that the enemy army has not gathered all the lord's troops, and use this time difference to catch the opponent by surprise!

After making the decision, Theodosius said immediately: "I ordered everyone to speed up the march, I decided to set off to the frontier within five days, and take advantage of the enemy's foothold and have not been able to gather all the strength. It strikes!"

"This..." Hearing what they said, everyone was very puzzled, and said with a strange expression: "Your Majesty, is this too hasty, it is impossible for our soldiers to assemble all within five days!"

"The same is true for the Northern Empire! Right now, they have only twice the strength of ours. If our troops are all assembled, the strength gap will be four or five times. How would you choose?"
