Realm of Power

625 Nord’s gaze (2)

The hall fell into silence again. King Yagrork stared at the map on the wall for a long time, sighing silently in his heart. The Wiki runner-up who used to be just in the southwest is really getting more and more aggressive now, like Like the falcon embroidered on their battle flag, they are forming a world-devouring momentum.

At the same time, they were fighting fiercely with the Ruidian people and the Kugits in the north, and they still had the power to oppress the Kingdom of Salander in the south. This shows that the Wiki runner-up already has a very powerful two-front combat capability—you know, the Kugits in the north These are not ordinary enemies, but hundreds of thousands of tough rangers, including the royal guards known as the Northern Eagles.

It is simply unimaginable that the Wekiya army, which is mainly based on the army, can defeat the notorious Kujit armored cavalry. When the news first reached the Kingdom of Nord, the upper-level power core of Nord unanimously believed that the Reedian people had suppressed Kujit for too long, causing the proud man of heaven to gallop in the north to weaken day by day.

In addition, the Kujit people were internally divided into the East and West, and their powerful strength was divided again. This led to the fact that in the face of the sudden natural disaster, the Wikiyan people took a big advantage. However, even so, the Wikiyan army was able to defeat them. The West Court of Kugit is surprising enough, but unfortunately, it is in the north, and the Kingdom of Lod does not have the ability to prevent Wikiya from extending its evil hand. But in the South such annexation would never be allowed

The current West Sea has become the inland sea of ​​the Wikiya Navy. Maybe in a year or two, even the middle members of the Ali family will become the inland sea of ​​the Wikiya army. The rear of the family has become a sudden attack by the enemy at any time. point,

After thinking about it for a moment, King Yagrolk felt a chill in his back. War is a kind of violent beauty. Although it pays attention to skills and courage, it pays more attention to strategy and strength. Once the strength is too different, No matter how high the skill, no matter how clever the command, no matter how good the strategy is, there is no way to save the day. The navy of the Kingdom of Rand has exactly such a shortcoming. The decline of the Kingdom of Rand basically marked the complete control of the entire southwestern part of the continent by the Vecians.

"How long will it take for our navy to have the strength to fight against the Vecian navy?" King Yagrolk asked the Navy Minister behind him, Marquis Felicita.

"It will take at least 3 years or more," Marquis Felicita responded with an embarrassed look. "The Vecian navy currently active in the far western reaches of our Rode is very rampant. Their base camp is just north of Merulus. The hour is the hour of the Ruidian people, and our fleet cannot pass.

Marquis Salton, the undersecretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs, gently interjected, "Can our navy pass through Wikiyahai to harass them? You must know that Wikiya's post-trade is a golden waterway with huge profits. It is said that Wikiya used tens of thousands of troops this time. , all supported by the profits from post-trade," Marquis Salton, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, said in a slow tone, "If the navy can be dispatched to cut off the joint trade of the Vecians, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the Vecians' economy."

Marquis Felicita said with a gloomy face, "It's difficult. In the south of Wikiia, there are a large number of merchant fleets cruising. They are the eyes of the Wikiya fleet. Our reconnaissance ships have been intercepted several times. If the navy is dispatched, Before you reach your destination, you will be driven back by the waiting Vecian navy..."

"Isn't there even the slightest possibility?"

Marquis Salton, who was born as an inland lord, asked unwillingly. As for the army, he is an experienced, sophisticated and courageous commander, but for the navy, he is quite a layman. In terms of his cognitive ability, the navy should be as good as The same as the army, as long as it has battleships, it can fight. Little did I know that sailors in the Navy are not like infantrymen in the Army, who only need three months of training or even no training before they can go into battle.

Navy sailors need a long period of training, and experienced Hanhe commanders need more time to accumulate experience, which is definitely not achieved overnight.

After hearing the explanation from the Minister of the Navy, the Marquis Felicita, that it would take three years to be able to fight, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Marquis Salton, shook his head in disappointment.

"I see, it's such a pity. Marquis Salton sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that the Nord Kingdom's navy had fallen to such a point. Not only was it unable to confront the Vekia Navy head-on, but it was also powerless to even send out harassment. Without the harassment of the navy, the warriors with rich trade are of course free to do whatever they want and fight wherever they want. The most important thing is that the Vekia Navy will give the Nord Navy 3 years?

"Without the support of the navy, we can only cancel the plan to actively attack Ryanrik Island and choose to stick to the coast."

Marquis Salton suggested to King Yagrolk, who was looking at the map with his back turned, "I think the Vecian army will first land on the King's Sea Coast. The area n is controlled by the Vecian Navy, and with the assistance of the West Sea pirates, Those are the aborigines of the west coast and know the terrain very well and can minimize the resistance to landing."

"Don't we have any chance to delay?" Royal Rodd General Osangre whispered in a low voice.

With his big copper bell-like eyes, he looked at the map on the wall in confusion. The stretch of west coast cliffs mentioned by Marquis Salton is more than 400 miles long, and there are large areas of uninhabited areas along the way. In such a huge and harsh area, it is simply a fantasy to think that the Wekiya landing force that can only wait for a breakthrough point and rush to the coast is a fantasy.

"It's not completely without but..." Marquis Salton sighed with a flickering look in his eyes, and stopped talking.

"Tell me, what can we do?" King Agroerk turned around and looked at him with a sharp gaze. "As long as we can win these three years of precious time for the Nord Kingdom, some necessary sacrifices can be tolerated."

"I heard that the royal family's Princess Yagerhe is already fifteen years old, and she will be able to have her coming-of-age ceremony in May this year..." Marquis Salton bowed respectfully, and said slowly with a serious face,

"Shut up, you guy," shouted the Royal Nord General Osangre next to him, and his sturdy arms twisted the corner of Marquis Salton's clothes. "What do you want to do? Princess He is the most beloved princess of His Majesty. Do you want our Nord people's golden rose to serve that greedy and brutal falcon?"

"Enough, let me think about this matter." King Agroerk waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the two. ..
