The Kingdom of England was careful not to mention the alliance between the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of Norway, and the United Kingdom of Ireland and Wales was very puzzled when it was overjoyed to receive a strong reinforcement.

Why didn't you call yourself for this?

A certain king, who was pale-skinned, had strange runes painted on his chin, and looked worse than the evil villain, was quite dissatisfied with this matter, and even sent a special letter to ask King Kenneth I of Scotland, and the final answer was:

The soldiers were swift, and because they did not intend to offend your country, they promised to hold an international alliance after defeating England.

At the same time, Randy is being questioned by his dwarven allies......

The dwarves didn't squeak during the previous time, because after sailing on the sea for so long, almost all the dwarves had some degree of seasickness.

The dwarves in medium-sized transports or light ballistae were a little better, with a cramped, dim, damp cabin to shelter them from the wind and rain, but the dwarves who came in the dragon-headed battleships were a little more miserable, and there were often seawater pouring in, not to mention, and maybe a wave would sweep them away.

When the dwarves landed, they all became dead dogs.

The 30,000 army that Randy is talking about should actually be said to be 10,000 Viking warriors, plus 20,000 dwarves who are temporarily ineffective.

Recently, the dwarves have been recuperating in the Auckland Islands for a while, and with the gradual recovery of their physical strength and intelligence, many dwarves have begun to mumble......

In the last Norman Hurricane Viking invasion, the Viking Dwarf coalition was defeated by the Anglo-Irish coalition, which naturally doesn't matter to Randy, but for the dwarves, whether they are English or Irish, they are allies of the elven tribes living in the Welsh mountains and forests, and these guys should all be their enemies.

Although the Scots did not provoke the dwarves too much, they are now allies of the United Kingdom of Ireland and Wales, and the vassals of the vassals are not my vassals, but the friends of the enemy are definitely my enemies, and the simple brains of the dwarves instantly regard the Scots as their enemies through this law.

And what about the Norwegians?

Although the Norwegians are also friends of the dwarves, they are also allied with the Scots, so the friends of the enemy should also be enemies, right?

But for the Norwegians, the dwarves cannot, and dare not treat them simply and roughly, after all, if there is no Norwegian fleet, they will not be able to return to Scandinavia, even if the Vikings are defeated and their ships are snatched, the dwarves do not have the driving skills of navigation, so as a last resort, the dwarves do not want to turn against the Lowes, and they take a rare roundabout strategy, that is, negotiation.

For the straight dwarves, the so-called negotiation is no different from questioning, and the new dwarven king Wald points directly at Randy's nose and says that he is not, and asks him to immediately break the alliance with the Scots.

Faced with such an idiotic ally, Randy rolled his eyes and complained inwardly:

If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

"So...... Wald, my friend, what do you think we should do? Do you offend the whole British Isles? Fighting the Triple Alliance with the power of one country? ”

Facing the question of the current dwarf king, who is also Randy's only current ally, Randy is also a little helpless, after all, his so-called army of 30,000 people, almost two-thirds of the dwarf legion, and he also expects to rely on the dwarf legion to be cannon fodder for him to fight the world, so it is not easy to offend to die.

"This king fights all over England alone, why not?!" Wald asked.

"Because we are not strong enough, we have to eat one bite at a time, and we have to do things step by step, our real enemies are England and Ireland, and it's not about Scotland, right?"

"But the Scots have made an alliance with the Irish, have they?"

"Covenants can also be broken by forming alliances."

Randy said as a matter of course: "Moreover, if you take a closer look at the covenant between them, it is completely against England's side, that is, the kind that will automatically terminate the covenant after England is defeated, and this covenant is only temporary." ”

"Well, it's like our covenant with you Norwegians." Wald nodded yes.

Randy rolled his eyes and thought to himself:

You're going to die if you don't mention it?!

Don't know how to write the word embarrassing? MD！！！

"That's right, my friend, so let's win over Scotland first, and then attack Ireland after watching England collectively and destroying England, so that we can easily take revenge step by step."

"But the king thinks it's too slow!"

Wald muttered: "It's too troublesome to do this, just kill all the way over, whoever dares to stop this king will die." ”

A group of brainless brutes, Randy's smile became brighter and brighter, but his heart became more and more annoyed and angry.

"Trouble isn't a big deal compared to victory, is it?"

"Do you think our mighty dwarven warriors will lose?" Wald slammed his fist into the table in front of Randy, and the table shattered with a thud.

"Don't forget why we set foot on this land!" Randy also restrained his smile and reminded with a serious face.

Walder was stunned for a moment, and muttered quietly, "That's because our powerful dwarven warriors are not prepared...... but although he still defended himself, his voice was no longer so insistent.

"My friend, I know the strength of your dwarven warriors, but even if the army is strong, no matter how weak the opponent, casualties are inevitable, don't you want another dwarven boy to return to Scandinavia safely?"

"Alright! For the sake of the lives of the dwarven boys......"

Eventually, Wald's attitude softened, but he was still grim, presumably thinking about how to deal with the dwarven elders and convince them when he returned.

"Hahaha, okay, my friend, we're done talking, let's have a drink to celebrate?"

Wald immediately smiled when he heard this, dwarves are famous for liking to drink, and the wine produced by Enides tastes really good, even if Randy doesn't like to drink very much, he likes to drink when he has nothing to do, like a barrel family like dwarves, not to mention.

Of course, a barrel of good wine costs 100 bonds, but the price is at least 1,000 gold coins, and Randy will never lose.

Although the status of the dwarf king is respected, his actual power is much smaller than that of the human king, and he has no economic privileges, like the good wine produced by Enides, Wald is not able to drink it often, until the Norwegian dwarf coalition is formed, Wald often runs to Randy every now and then to drink wine, which is one of the reasons why he has not been able to straighten up in front of Randy and is easily convinced.

Wald, who had drunk too much at the banquet, complained to Randy with a big tongue, "I was convinced by you, but when I get back, what should I tell the elders?" Those guys are as hard as the stones in a mine, and you have to pry them with a harder shovel, ......" said Wald, taking a big sip of wine and not speaking......

"Oh? Is that so? Shouldn't the king's rights be free from any restraint or restriction? Randy, who had studied dwarven politics for a long time, pretended to be surprised and asked.

"No, no, no, we dwarves are not like you humans."

"If the king does not have absolute power, then it is not inefficient to do things?" Randy said with a frown.

"Efficiency?" Wald repeated Randy's words in a drunken look.

"That's right! Efficiency, shouldn't you dwarves be a people who go straight and don't like to waste time? ”

"Uh...... It seems to be ......"

"Why should you discuss with a dozen elders what you only need to decide alone? Isn't that inefficient? ”

"You seem to have some truth in that! But the system of the Council of Dwarven Elders has been a tradition since ancient times. ”

"Oh! I see, I really don't understand why you dwarves would make such a tradition that is completely inconsistent with your character, is there any secret in this matter? Can you tell me about it? Randy seemed interested.

Wald stopped talking, because he didn't know why.

"Don't you know? Is there still a shady scene of tradition or something? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to blame them, but the elders...... The dwarven elders who made this so-called tradition, aren't they? ……”

Randy smiled awkwardly at this, looked at Wald, who was looking forward to what was going on, and stopped talking.

——————————

After two more days of persuasion, the dwarven king Wald still failed to convince the dwarven elders.

And such an ending, Randy had already anticipated.

The reason why he did this was because Randy wanted the Dwarf King to understand more deeply the sorrow of democracy, that is, the efficiency of the tragedy to the extreme, and the behavior of the foolish politics.

In the end, Randy stepped forward, talked eloquently, and reluctantly got the dwarven elders to accept his strategic deployment for the time being.

The army immediately set sail from Auckland and headed straight for Inverness, a city in northern Scotland.

After a day and a night of sailing, Randy directly left the group of dwarves who vomited up and down, and agreed that the dwarves would cooperate with the Scots from the Scottish lowlands to attack the Northumberland region of England from the Scottish lowlands.

It was agreed that the two sides would meet in Newcastle, an important city in the north of England, and in the end, they did not even leave basic rations, but asked the Scottish allies to take care of them, and then the Norwegian pirate army set sail, I don't know where to go.

The dwarves ate Scottish-style smoked fish, cured meats and rye cakes, and their impression of Randy was actually a level better, after all, it was great to be able to walk on the ground and not have to take a boat anymore.

It's just a slight problem here, and the dwarves feel as if they've been cheated after asking about their new Scottish allies.

Because of the years of conquest with Scotland, England spent a lot of money in the Northumberland area to build an endless defensive system called Hadrian's Wall, and to the north of Hadrian's Wall, there was a large forest. In short, if the dwarves want to hit Newcastle, they must first pass through the vast jungle, and then they have to hit their heads in front of Hadrian's walls, and after crashing Hadrian's walls, they can barely touch the edge of Newcastle City.

Fooled??!!

At this moment, even the most pure-hearted dwarves had such thoughts.

The Scots are happy, their navy is basically equal to waste wood, naturally they can't play the Norwegian's frog jumping tactics, but if they attack from land, it is difficult to break through the defense line arranged by the English on Hadrian's Wall.

Almost 20,000 dwarven troops, as well as the last bit of Scottish troops, a total of 7,000 troops, still known as 30,000 troops, set out from Inverness to reinforce the front line.

On the other side, Randy sat in the captain's cabin of his flagship, munching on white bread as he looked at the map published by Enides, and thought to himself:

These stupid ×...... The army made a beeline for York, an important town in England.

The whole of England is in flames by this time!

North......

The English army, which had originally stabilized the Scottish side, was defeated by the army of highlanders led by the new commander of the Scottish army, William Wallace, who was a civilian, and the main force was almost completely annihilated, and had to retreat to Hadrian's walls and defend with a strong city.

West......

The attack of the English was also not smooth, relying on the complex terrain of the mountainous hills and forests, the Welsh and their elven allies were reduced to zero, ambushing and surprise attacks on the English army throughout the forest, slowing down the advance of the English to the extreme, especially in Carnarfon, the first important town in Wales, bringing together nearly 10,000 Irish and Welsh allied troops, the garrison was extremely strong, and England attacked several times without feathers.

The war had dragged on for two whole months, and instead of directly destroying and unifying the British Isles as imagined before the war, England was able to unify the British Isles in an instant, but was frustrated step by step, and the war situation was in a scorching situation.

This was a surprise to King Alfred, but there was nothing he could do, and although England still had 15,000 mobile troops, this army could only cover one of the battlefields at most, which made the king feel very embarrassed.

If this army is thrown into the western front to attack Wales, it is like walking into a bottomless pit, no matter how many troops are invested, the resilience of the Celtic natives is beyond Alfred's imagination, if they want to surrender, they will surrender long ago, if they do not want to surrender, then the fifteen thousand horses are of little use.

And what about reinforcing Hadrian's walls to the north?

The current Hadrian wall is still defended by nearly 10,000 troops, and the Scottish army reports that it has almost 20,000 troops, and sending 15,000 troops over seems to be able to counterattack, but Alfred still has one thing to worry about!

Scottish commander Wallace is a good general, counting the generals of England, no one is his opponent, Alfred pays for himself, that is, he is against Wallace, the victory or defeat is also five or five, if you want to defeat the other party, you have to personally command the fifteen thousand army, and the army on the front line fights to the death.

But even if this is a battle for the whole country, everything will be fine if it wins, but in case of defeat, it will be small for you to die, and it will be great for England to be destroyed in the war!

Because of this, Alfred had a hard time deciding the direction of the army when it was too much to hold up in the north or difficult to make progress in the west.

But in the end, it may be that you can't go to both places.
