Chapter 977: Helian Pass

If you want to get help from her, you have to take heavy medicine, Angelo once again strengthened her thoughts, and said to Queen Enid: "Have you ever thought about what you should do if the Holy See is officially established? I am afraid that it is not so easy to go back to be a Holy Lady of the Holy See, after all, you have once sat in the highest position of the royal court, and you have the purest blood of the royal family in your belly, and you and the child in your womb will become the most unstable factor in the rule of the Holy See." ”

"I know my situation very well, and I don't need Angelo's messenger to remind me, what exactly do you want to express?" Queen Enid's expressionless face showed that Angelo had poked her sore spot with a slight flickering gaze.

Queen Enid was able to sit in her current position, and she sat very steadily, definitely not as simple as a puppet supported by the Holy See, she must be a smart person with flexible wrists, and she did not consider her current situation.

As long as the other party has their own considerations, they have a chance.

Angelo was overjoyed in her heart, and made persistent efforts: " What I want to say is that His Majesty and the Queen are blood relatives, breaking bones and connecting tendons, at this critical moment, we should support each other, if the Queen helps Your Majesty and helps the Plateau through this crisis, the entire Plateau will miss the Queen's kindness, and the Holy See will have some scruples before taking corresponding actions against the Queen, not to mention that Your Majesty does not ask for much, you only need to put pressure on the Eternal Night Commanders on the side, so that they do not dare to act rashly, of course, if you can promote a full-scale war between the Holy See and the Eternal Night Commanders, it will be better......”

"A full-scale war between the Holy See and the Eternal Night? I'm afraid you're just thinking too much...... The Holy See had just signed an indemnity agreement with the Eternal Night Warlords a few months ago, don't you know what it means?" Queen Enid coldly interrupted Angelo's lobbying.

"It used to be before, and now it is now, the last war happened too hastily, I am afraid that the Holy See itself is not fully prepared, and the plateau side only heard the news in a scattered way after the war, if this time the plateau and the Holy See jointly send troops from both sides, it will inevitably make the leaders of the Eternal Night Army unable to care about each other. Angelo said persistently, "There will be a battle between the Holy See and the Eternal Night Commander sooner or later, and it is better to start a war under the circumstances that are most beneficial to you than to wait until the other party is fully prepared." ”

"He is worthy of being a proud student of the Adonia University, and his opinions in all aspects are indeed above ordinary people, but they are inevitably mixed with too many personal subjective thoughts, and what you just said is an all-out war involving the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands, or even millions, how can it be said that it can be promoted?" Queen Enid was not moved by Angelo's words in the slightest.

"Only after trying it will we know if it can happen, if we just sit here and wait, there will be no miracles. Angelo frantically poured chicken soup for the soul on Queen Enid.

"Needless to say, I already understand the intention of your trip, about the things entrusted to me by my father, I will carefully consider it in public and private, Angelo's envoy must be tired after a long journey, you might as well rest first, and let me think about it, what to do next, when the time comes, I will continue to use your mouth to lobby more people. Queen Enid waved her hand and made a gesture to see off the guest.

"It's fine. Angelo could only accept the other party's proposal, "But please also ask the queen to make a decision as soon as possible, the Eternal Night Commander will not leave us much time." ”

"I see. Queen Enid replied.

When Queen Enid met Angelo, she was very cold.

But after the incident, he actively campaigned, not only visiting the major bishops of the Holy See in the royal capital, but also sending letters to all the bishops who could speak in front of Pope George, probing their tone, and at the same time trying to put pressure on Pope St. George through them.

It wasn't so much Christine's public conditions that moved her, but Queen Enid's efforts to survive.

No one wants to be an outcast, she must create future living conditions for herself and her unborn children.

Indeed, there were many people in the Holy See who were attracted by the various conditions offered by Queen Enid and helped her to facilitate this.

But when it came to Pope St. George, it was all lost.

Not to mention the all-out war against the Eternal Night Army, Pope St. George even threw out the conditions for joining the Holy See thrown by Archduke Christine, and he devoted himself to the preparations for the Holy See Empire.

It's not that Pope St. George is very compact.

But he is very aware of the little calculations of the Grand Duke Christine, and the so-called joining the Holy See may be another round of empty promises.

If it is like the Huayu Plateau and the Carthusian military leader, it can be unimpeded and free to pass through.

Pope St. George may still have some chances, and it is impossible for him to go to war with his future ally for a piece of chicken ribs.

The demons that are now gathering in the Far North are their greatest threat to the future.

Driving them out of the continent before they become powerful is the top priority.

The asymmetry in terms of information doomed Archduke Christine to work in vain like a clown.

Even a top wise man like a scholar of the Adonian University is limited by the information in his hands, and his judgment and analysis are extremely limited.

This is the general trend of rolling.

......

Flower language plateau.

Helian Pass.

The voices of the people are full of voices, and the flags are in the sky.

At all times, there are private armies of local nobles with different banners, converging from all directions.

This is the first line of defense chosen by Count Nickles to intercept the Lords of the Night.

Although the Count of Nickles did not fully believe in Viscount Gauld's opinion of the Eternal Night Commander, they still played a certain positive role in them, making them pay more attention to the opponent of the Eternal Night Commander, and adopt a more active strategy and tactics against it.

It is undoubtedly the best choice to further strengthen the forces of the natural defensive line of the two sides and block the main force of the army led by the Eternal Night Army under the plateau.

And the Helian Pass is the only way to attack the Huayu Plateau on a large scale from the Danube Plain.

The fault mountain range between the Huayu Plateau and the Danube Plain has a unique feature that other mountain ranges do not have - even if other mountains are high, they will more or less have ups and downs, with mountain beams and valley bottoms.

The Broken Vein Mountain Range, which separates the Byron Alliance from the Odin steppe, has a huge gap like a fracture.

The fault mountains do not, at least not in the direction of the Huayu Plateau.

Because compared with the Danube Plain, the Huayu Plateau is located on the top of the mountain at an altitude of more than two or three thousand meters, and the entire mountain range is all the way up in the direction of the Huayu Plateau.

In many places, there are often eighty or ninety degree cliffs of tens or even hundreds of meters, unless you are a mountaineer who has been specially trained since childhood, it is difficult to climb and cross here, let alone allow a large army to pass through here.

This is the meaning of the word fault in the fault mountain range.

The Helian Pass is relatively large, and it is relatively easy to enter and exit a mouth in the fault mountain range.

Originally, there were 1,000 elite soldiers who belonged to the Brian family stationed here all year round.

The original purpose was naturally to guard the gate and prevent people from entering and leaving at will.

However, with the rise of trade between the Flower Language Plateau and the Eternal Night Warlord, the scale has increased significantly every year, and there is a new function here - setting up cards to collect taxes.

In the past two years, this alone has made the Brian family and the Yamaguchi garrison make a lot of money.

Naturally, the mountain pass station was also a shotgun for a cannon, from a dilapidated camp to a small town, and the number of people begging for a living here also soared.

The mountain road outside the mountain pass, which has not changed much for hundreds of years, has also been repaired and widened several times by those merchants who have made huge profits from it.

As for whether there is any instigation from the Eternal Night Army Leader to prepare for their future march into the Huayu Plateau, only the high-level leaders of the Eternal Night Army Leader will know.

However, manpower is limited in the face of nature.

Although the Helian Pass and the mountain roads outside have been rebuilt and widened, they are still synonymous with ruggedness and difficulty, and the short 160 kilometers and less than 200 kilometers of mountain roads require enough time, energy, manpower and material resources to allow them to travel thousands of kilometers on flat roads.

This is the biggest reliance of the high-level leaders of the Flower Language Plateau.

"How's the build-up going?" said Count Nickles, shaking the red wine in his tall glass, and sat high in the large general's chair, trying to show his majesty as a general.

It's a pity that his appearance is too peculiar, and from a distance, he looks more like a big horse monkey squatting on a stool.

But no one dared to show ridicule, not even abnormal natural expressions.

The last person who dared to do this, the grave grass was already half a human high.

"As of yesterday, thirty-five adults had arrived with their own troops, and eighteen were on their way, and six had sent letters saying that the revolutionaries in their territory were making too much trouble, and that they needed a little time to suppress them, and that the time to arrive would be delayed. The military statistician of the Earl of Nickles replied quickly, without thinking.

"The number of soldiers, I want the number of soldiers, they are the key to the war, even if there are more people coming, if they come empty-handed, we will not have the troops available. The Count of Nickles reprimanded him dissatisfiedly.

I have nothing to say about the ability of this military statistician, and it is not an easy task for so many armies with different numbers and affiliations to complete statistics at such a fast speed.

The only drawback is that every time I report to myself, I always can't grasp the key point of the matter.

"Forty-six thousand people have been assembled, and there are still two to thirty thousand more on the way. The military statistician replied again.

"There are almost 50,000 troops. The shaking speed of the goblet in Nikelus's hand couldn't help but speed up, and the wine shaking inside formed a small vortex, "What about the movement of the Eternal Night Army?

"The army led by the Eternal Night is still stationed in the assembly area, and there is no intention of pulling into the mountains, and every day there is a shout of drill, coming from their camp, as if they are training. The general in charge of the investigation hurriedly came out and replied.

"What do you mean, I want accurate information, have you ever given me an affirmative answer after such a high amount of time?" said Count Nickles, with an unconcealed anger.

"The general is angry, it's not that we don't work hard, but the defense on the side of the Eternal Night Army is very tight, and our sentry can't touch it at all, as long as we are three kilometers close to their barracks, our sentry will never return, let alone bring back news. The general himself was also aggrieved.

"A bunch of waste. Count Nickles scolded angrily, but he was helpless, because this was the third intelligence general he had replaced in recent weeks, and it didn't make much sense to replace him.

The fact that everyone failed to spy on intelligence one after another shows that it is not that there is a problem with the ability of these intelligence generals, but that the other party has done a really good job of keeping secrets in this regard.

"General, this kind of behavior of the enemy is really too abnormal, judging from the intelligence that our spy post first gathered, the total number of troops assembled by the other side this time is not less than 100,000, this is not a small number, they have gathered in one place, but they have not taken any military measures for a long time, this abnormal behavior, must be brewing a conspiracy. The wise man beside Count Nickles couldn't help but speak.

"Do you need to remind me, do you tell me what conspiracy they are hatching?" asked the Count of Nickles, glaring.

"This ......," the wise man was speechless for a moment.

No matter how clever a wise man is, if he wants to make a perfect plan, he will also build on a large amount of intelligence.

If the plan is not fully understood about the enemy's situation, it is a castle in the air and is doomed to failure.

Count Nickles snorted: "Continue to increase the number of spy posts, and strive to find out what the hell is going on with the army led by the Eternal Night Army gathered together in the shortest possible time, and keep an eye on them, if they have any military movements, I will know as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. The general in charge of intelligence hurriedly got up and received the order.

"Give orders to those who have not yet arrived, to garrison the nearest town for food, to keep the roads clear, to be at our disposal, and to be prepared for a long battle. "The Count of Nickles gave the second order.

Unable to fully grasp the enemy's movements, Count Nickles took a relatively conservative military move.

Nearly 50,000 troops are enough to fill the Helian Pass, which mainly relies on geographical advantages.

No matter how many people come, it will put more pressure on their logistical supplies.

Although the Count of Nickles has never experienced any major wars in his life, after all, he is from a military family, has received a systematic elite education, and his military literacy is definitely not bad.
