The 41st Battle: The Rescue Battle of the Lund Kingdom
"I believe that everyone here knows that the two small countries in the west of our Britannia Empire - the Kingdom of Lund and the Kingdom of Carolinga, a war broke out a month ago."
Ilsa's father, that is, Gail, continued to speak loudly.
"The Kingdom of Lund is a vassal state of our Britannia Empire, while the Carolingian Kingdom is a vassal state of our mortal enemy, the Frank Empire. The Kingdom of Lund, which is our vassal, is also at odds with the Carolingian Kingdom, which is a vassal of the Frankish Empire, so it is not surprising that war broke out between the two countries."
"The kingdom of Lund and the kingdom of Carolingian are equal in national strength and military strength, so the 90,000 army of the kingdom of Lund and the 80,000 army of the kingdom of Carolingian confronted each other. Logically speaking, they are evenly matched, and they won't win so quickly. minus."
"However, just a week ago, the confrontation between the two countries was broken! The Frankish Empire secretly sent their general - 'Steel Bones' Alan Jones to help the Carolingian Kingdom, so the Carolingian Kingdom's army The commander was secretly replaced by 'Steel Bone' Allen. Under Allen's command, the 90,000 army of the Lund Kingdom was wiped out, and the main force of the Lund Kingdom was wiped out. The Wangalorian Kingdom Army is besieging."
"The Kingdom of Lund has now sent a distress call to our Britannia Empire. Regarding whether to rescue the Kingdom of Lund, we must not simply deal with it! If this matter is not handled properly, it will greatly damage our Britannia Empire. The prestige of the Tania Empire among the countries! It is precisely because of the importance of this matter that I hurried back to Pendragon yesterday. So, now, please share your views, it is the kingdom of Salund , still not saved."
As soon as Gail's voice fell, the conference hall of Nuoda became noisy again, but compared to the civil servants who were discussing enthusiastically, the knight's side was much quieter.
However, this is also normal. Whether this war should be launched is something that civil servants should think about, and how to fight this war is what knights should think about.
Therefore, the knights are unusually quiet. Basically, no one is talking or discussing. Many knights folded their arms and silently waited for the outcome of the discussions with the civil servants. Some knights even started to fight. Dozed off, or "flying into the sky".
Su Cheng belongs to the kind of knight who has "spirited to the sky". This kind of political issue should not be involved by knights, and he is only the lowest new knight, so he is not qualified to participate in this kind of political issue. Sent on.
Su Cheng has already made preparations to stay in this meeting room, be a little transparent, and then stand there until the end of the meeting.
Soon, a middle-aged man came out from the queue of civil servants.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness. In my opinion, we must send troops to rescue the Lund Kingdom!" The middle-aged man said in a firm tone, "The Lund Kingdom is a vassal state of our Britannia Empire. If even the vassal state If the protection is not good, won’t our Britannia Empire be looked down upon by other countries?”
However, as soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, an old man with white beard and hair came out from the queue of civil servants and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness. From my point of view, the Lund Kingdom can't be saved! For us, we won’t get any money or land from saving them, but just gain some face and reputation, compared with the cost of sending out the army, it’s really not worth the loss!”
"Hmph, it's too short-sighted for you to say that!" At this moment, the third person came out from the queue of civil servants and said, "Although it is impossible for our Britannia Empire to save the Lund Kingdom, No material income, but if we can successfully save the Lund Kingdom, the prestige of our Britannia Empire among the nations will be greatly increased! And prestige cannot be bought with money!"
at this time,
More and more people came out of the queue of civil servants.
"But if we want to increase the prestige of our Britannia Empire, we must first defeat the 80,000 army of the Carolingian Kingdom and break the siege of the capital of the Lund Kingdom! Don't forget, now Gallo Who is in command of the 80,000 army of the Kingdom of Lin! The 80,000 army of the Carolingian Kingdom is now commanded by the Frankish Empire's "steel bone" Allen! Our Britannia Empire and the Frankish Empire are sworn enemies, I don’t know how many wars have broken out between us, I believe you all know how terrible Allen is, right?”
"Alan is very strong, but he is not invincible! In the many battles that broke out between our Britannia Empire and the Frankish Empire, this Alan also suffered a lot of defeats!"
"But even if it's a rescue, what should we do if our army is halfway there, and the Kingdom of Lund has been breached? Can the Kingdom of Lund survive the arrival of our army?"
...
The civil servants discussed more and more intensely, but Su Cheng could still hear from their discussions that the "Savior Sect" had gained the upper hand.
At this moment, Emperor Ge Zewen suddenly raised his hand and pressed it in the air.
After seeing the emperor's gesture, the civil servants quickly shut up and returned to their original positions in the queue.
The huge meeting hall became quiet again.
Gozevin turned his head and looked at Jacob who was standing on his left.
"Jacob, what do you think? To save or not to save?"
Jacob narrowed his eyes slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
Soon, Jacob said in a deep voice:
"Save! If you don't save the vassal state, it will greatly damage the prestige of our Britannia Empire."
After hearing Jacob's answer, Gozevin nodded slightly, and then moved his gaze to his own.
"Iser, what do you think? To save or not to save?"
As soon as Ge Zewen's words fell, everyone in the meeting hall moved their eyes to the front of the knight queue.
It was moved to the current strongest knight of the Britannia Empire, and the only unified knight at present—Isel Hill.
Iser, like Jacob, thought for a while before saying: "My point of view is the same as that of Mr. Jacob, the Kingdom of Lund must be saved! This is about the face of our Britannia Empire. I also listened carefully to the discussions of the ministers, and I found that many people are afraid of Alan Jones. In fact, Alan Jones has nothing to be afraid of! He is just my defeated opponent, and I can hardly count. How many times has he been defeated by me."
After listening to Iser's words, the people in the chamber laughed, and Su Cheng couldn't help laughing too.
After hearing Iser's answer, Gozevin nodded slightly again, and then said:
"Last night, Gail had already discussed this issue with me. I have the same point of view as Gail—it must be saved! I also paid attention to the views of your ministers just now. I paid special attention to it just now. Now, the people who support the rescue account for an absolute majority, and then the first minister and first knight of our Britannia Empire also support the rescue, so it seems that the result is already obvious."
Ge Zewen stood up slowly, and then said loudly:
"I declare! The rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom begins! Rescue the Lund Kingdom! Break the siege of the capital of the Lund Kingdom!"
Su Cheng stood at the end of the knight queue, and couldn't see the expressions of the knights standing in front of him, but he believed that most of the knights definitely looked excited.
Because a new war has started, it means that there is an opportunity to fight, and there is military merit to be obtained.
After Gozevin finished speaking, he sat back on the throne, while Gail took out a piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it.
"Last night, my father and Mr. Jacob and I had already guessed that the resolution to 'rescue the Kingdom of Lund' would have a high chance of passing. So last night, we planned the rescue operation. Staffing."
After hearing Gail's words, the spirits of the knights became full of vigor, and even Su Cheng pricked up his ears, ready to listen seriously.
"For this rescue, we decided to dispatch the Gabriel Knights! The Gabriel Knights now have a total of 300,000 troops. The enemy this time is 80,000 troops. It would be a bit too exaggerated for the regiment to attack, so we decided to only dispatch 1/3 of the troops of the Gabriel Knights, that is, the 1st Army, the 3rd Army, the 6th Army, and the 7th Army of the Gabriel Knights. Army, 10th Army, a total of 100,000 troops from the 5th Army will carry out this rescue operation.”
"After discussions with my father and Mr. Jacob, we have decided to appoint the deputy head of Gabriel's Knights—Nicolas Alva, the Four Royal Knights, as the commander-in-chief of this rescue operation!"
"Ooh!"
As soon as Gail's words fell, some people in the knight queue gave a small cheer, and then a middle-aged man with gray temples walked out of the knight queue, walked to the middle of the meeting room, and then knelt down on one knee. He knelt down and said, "Yes."
Su Cheng thought to himself: This middle-aged man must be the deputy head of the Knights of Gabriel——Nicolas Alva.
He, Su Cheng, has also heard the name of Nicholas Alva. Nicholas Alva is the deputy head of the Gabriel Knights. Experienced veteran too.
"The commander of the 1st Army is William Andy, the Knight of Fanlan," Gail continued, "The deputy commander of the 1st Army is John Carr, the Knight of Double Oaks..."
Gail began to announce the commander and deputy commander of this expedition in turn. A total of 5 armies were dispatched for this rescue, which means that there are a total of 5 commanders and 5 deputy commanders.
According to the system of the Britannia Empire, each of the three major knight orders of the empire will not have a fixed commander and deputy commander to command and command.
The commanders and deputy commanders of each army will only be decided before the battle begins.
Every time Gale said a name, a person came out of the knight queue and knelt in the middle of the chamber on one knee, then shouted "Yes".
This can be regarded as the practice of the Britannia Empire. When you have an appointment, you go to the middle of the chamber, get down on one knee, and say "yes."
Soon, Gail began to announce the last army, the commander and deputy commander of the 10th army.
"The commander of the 10th Army is the Knight of Double Oaks, Alisa Hill."
Before, when Gail was reciting names, he had always pronounced appointments in a tone without any emotion, but when he pronounced Alisa's name, his tone was rarely filled with emotion.
When Alisa heard Gail read his name, she was taken aback for a moment, and then a look of joy appeared on her face. She walked quickly to the middle of the chamber, knelt down on one knee, and shouted "Yes!"
Gail gave Alisa a meaningful look, and Su Cheng keenly captured Gail's meaningful eyes.
Reminiscent of the fearful expression on Alisa's face before, Su Cheng felt that there must be some story between Gail and Alisa, otherwise Alisa would not have the expression on her face after seeing Gail enter the conference hall. The color of fear is more serious.
Soon, Gail withdrew his meaningful gaze at Alisa, and turned his gaze back to the paper in his hand.
"Deputy Commander of the 10th Army, by—"
The knights who hadn't been called all looked at Gale with anticipation, hoping that this last place would be their own, and hoping to hear their own name next.
"Xingui Knight Su Cheng is in charge."
Su Cheng's eyes widened instantly.
I will serve as the deputy commander of the 10th Army?
Although he was shocked in his heart, Su Cheng also quickly reacted, and quickly walked to the middle of the meeting room, came to the side of Alisa, then knelt down on one knee, and shouted "Yes."
After coming to the middle of the conference hall, Su Cheng felt that many eyes with different emotional colors were shot at him.
There are eyes of jealousy, eyes of admiration, and eyes of envy.
And Alyssa, who was kneeling next to Su Cheng, also looked at Su Cheng in surprise.
