Relying on the Baltic Sea, the armies of the Eastern Empire were able to attack the kingdom at any time and place. Quasimotu's face was as ugly as it was, because once the Orientals made a move against the Baltics, the first unlucky one was the family-controlled city of Kalmar. Isn't it a joke to expect those Swedes to help defend the Baltic Sea? Since the Orientals have made a huge plan, it is impossible not to consider the Swedes, I am afraid that now the Orientals have begun to launch a friendly offensive against the Swedes in Lake Hylaren, and these Swedish merchants who drill money will never defend the Baltic Sea for the kingdom with their lives. For his own sake, for the sake of Kalmar City, he also has to do his best.

Although the Kingdom of Denmark is a sick tiger and its majesty is no longer what it used to be, its foundation is still deep enough, and the huge war machine is about to be activated, and preparations in all aspects are indispensable. Resources from all walks of life were sent to Kalmar City one after another, and the boats of Wood Island were all heading towards Kalmar City. Recently, there has been a fat man named Sam on Wood Island, the heir to a declining family and his quick way to take over 80% of the wine business on Wood Island, especially the food that the Swedes desperately need, Sam can easily get his hands on. Sam's rapid rise, the accumulated wealth is very eye-catching, although the Lance family was also noble, but after all, it has declined, watching Sam get rich, there are too many people who are tempted, one-third of the families near Hylaren have bad thoughts about Sam who is active on Wood Island, but before they can do it, Sam threw out an explosive news, he was appointed by the Emperor of the East as the official merchant of the Eastern Empire on Wood Island. As soon as this news was released, the entire Helaren was shocked, who didn't know the name of the Great Emperor of the East? In less than a year, the mighty Eastern Empire put the once-prosperous Kiporos on its territory, and the mighty Holy Roman Empire was also beaten to the point of losing its temper.

There may still be doubts about the authenticity of the news, but a group of Eastern Guards standing outside Sam's Castle dispelled everyone's suspicions. Whether the Eastern Empire is interested in the Baltic Sea or not, the Swedes in Hylaren don't care at all, they care about the huge commercial interests, and doing business with the Eastern Empire has only advantages and no harm. And I heard that the Eastern Empire is building the Imperial Avenue that connects the east and west, who doesn't want a piece of the pie? As a result, Sam became the most dazzling force on Wood Island at an incredible speed, and the Eastern Guards beside him became the most powerful umbrella.

In the eyes of outsiders, Sam must have taken shit luck and got in touch with the Emperor of the East, but in Sam's opinion, life is not easy at all. The regent is so courteous, if he does nothing, won't he be ashamed of the regent's favor? It's been almost a month since I returned to Mutou Island, and I've spent so much money and material resources, but I still haven't got any useful news. On this day, Sam came to the docks as usual to inspect and couldn't help frowning as he watched the wooden boats sail out to sea, it was really strange, ships have been going to sea more and more often recently. After all, Sam's rise time is too short, his foundation is insufficient, and the forces he can control are only limited to Wood Island. Maybe those Hylaren nobles know something, but Sam is not a real nobleman after all, and he can't participate in those noble games, "What the hell is going on, have you been asked?" ”

"Lord Sam, I've already asked, most of them went to Kalmar City, what the specific reason is, I don't know" The entourage said simply, Sam touched the red nose, stopped and thought about it, Kalma City seems to be the territory of the Quasimotu family, how can it take so many supplies, with the appetite of the Quasimotu family, they can't swallow such a large amount of goods, something must have happened, is the Danes finally going to do something to the Swedes? While he was pondering, a servant found Sam in a panic, "Lord Sam, Prince Scotto wants to see you, and you are already waiting at the castle!" ”

Sam was overjoyed when he heard this, and just as he couldn't figure it out, someone dozed off and gave him a pillow. Prince Scotto is the third son of King Chris, and if there is any news in the kingdom, Prince Scotto must be the first to know about it. As for Scotto's intentions, Sam can roughly guess some, it seems that the reputation he has made during this time has finally worked, and Scottto probably sees his financial and material resources and the background behind him. Sam quickly returned to the castle, and in the hall, a man dressed in a red court aristocratic costume bowed and saluted, this man with long silver hair and a handsome appearance was the third prince Scotto, Sam hurriedly returned the salute, "I didn't know that the third prince arrived, and I missed the welcome." ”

"Your Excellency, why do you want to do this, I have long wanted to meet you, it just so happened that the Senate had just gotten a warrant, and I received this task" Scotto's voice was kind and pleasant, but Sam did not dare to be too arrogant, but waited very respectfully. Sure enough, Scottto came today for a good thing, Sam's financial resources and background doomed the Swedish royal family to ignore it, in order to befriend Sam, Chris discussed with the Senate and decided to give Sam the status of Earl of the East Island, as the nobility of the Earl of the East Island, to manage the entire Wood Island. Sam was not surprised at all, just standing behind him the Emperor of the East, he couldn't help but be disvalued by the Kingdom of Sweden, after bowing down to thank him, Sam chatted with Scotto, and inadvertently mentioned what happened on the island, "Your Highness, the merchant ships on the island have been going more and more frequently recently, all of them are going in the direction of Kalmar City, is there any recent move by the Danes to do something to us Hylaren?" ”

"Don't worry about Earl Sam, the Danes are indeed amassing a large amount of supplies in Kalmar, but they are not coming for us and the Norwegians. The news I got from the Senate seemed to be that the Danish royal family had passed a certain resolution, as if it was a preparation for the aid of Prince Fawerna" Scottto didn't hide it from Sam, the reason why he said these words was also to sell a good one, anyway, to have a good relationship with the Orientals, there is only good for himself, and there is no harm in it. In fact, it is not surprising that Scotto's thoughts are not at all, although the Kingdom of Sweden claims to be a kingdom and has its own king, in fact, it is far from being a real kingdom, it is just a spontaneous organization formed by the Helaren nobles against the Danish royal family for the sake of collective business interests. In fact, fundamentally, Helaren is still a plate of loose sand. If the Easterners come to the Baltic, the Hylaren nobles will not object, anyway, as long as it does not affect trade, everyone has money to earn and live a good life, it is better than anything else.

Although Scottto didn't say it explicitly, Sam still clearly felt the meaning of his words, gathering supplies in Kalmar City, and supporting Fayunna, doesn't that mean that the Danes will make a big move against Kipros in the near future? Sam thought that this news was very important, and Scotto's intention to befriend the Eastern Empire had been achieved, and he also got into a relationship with Sam, so he took his leave with humor. As soon as Scotto left, Sam immediately repaired a book, and for the sake of insurance, he copied two letters and sent several people to the city of Kiev by different routes. Sam was afraid that something would happen, and as long as one of the letters reached the city of Kyiv, it would be of great use. Sam prayed that nothing would happen, it was the first thing he did after he submitted to the regent, but nothing could go wrong. For Sam, the days of waiting are tantamount to spending the days like years, but as the new earl, the new nobleman of Hylaren, he must participate in various occasions, and Sam is anxious, and he can only endure it.

The Kingdom of Denmark can be said to have tried its best to hide for this huge military operation, but there are always clues to be found in large-scale military operations. Ten days later, Zhao Yougong, who was far away in the Teginets manor, finally received the letter sent by Sam, looking at the content of the letter, his mood also became extremely bad, "This Fayunna, it is really difficult to deal with, the materials stored in Kalmar City can be sent to the front line of Yeelinburg in a short time, it is not easy to be discovered, and it can be easily transferred to the front line, this arrangement is really clever, if Sam is not careful, we will be deceived by the Danes." Orders were ordered to garrison Rogda and send spies out to keep a close eye on the border situation. ”

"The Danes are going to attack the Rogda hills, and the garrison near Jan Mar must move closer to the west as soon as possible, and Sister Hai Dongzhu must deliver a letter. In addition, we have to speed up our pace to deal with the Germans, although we are not afraid, but facing the Danes and the Germans at the same time, it will not be good for us after all" Xiao Zhiyun paced with a solemn expression, the battlefield situation is ever-changing, it has been like this since ancient times, but this time the change came too suddenly, it seems that the loss of the Germanic soldiers and horses reminded Fayunna before. However, it is not so easy to exterminate the Germanic people who are active in the Istrian highlands, there is a way that the hundred-legged insects die but do not stiffen, although this group of Germans is not attacked, but if they defend the fortified city, it is still difficult to deal with. Due to the importance of the matter, it didn't take long for Dongfang Jin, Luo Weidenov, Yang Zaixing and others to be called to the manor castle, I heard that the Danes began to gather heavy troops to make a move on the Rogda hills, everyone's expressions changed greatly, Dongfang Jin and Luo Weidenov glanced at each other, all showed surprise, Luo Weidenov asked with some doubts, "Your Highness, our plan can be said to be flawless, and the garrison of the Rogda hills has always adhered to the procrastination trick, according to the law, the old fox of Yunna should not find anything." ”

"According to common sense, it should be like this, but it is precisely because there is no flaw that it is a flaw, we are still a little anxious, Vilnius fought and annihilated a large number of Germans, which directly made Fayunna see our strength. Fayunna is not a fool, he probably saw that we were planning to eat the Duchy of Saxony, and with Fayunna's wisdom, it is not difficult to guess that our series of actions are headed for the Baltic Sea. However, things are not as bad as they seem, the Danes have to transfer troops within the kingdom, the road is far away, in terms of time, we still have an advantage, as long as we can completely exterminate the Germans active in the Istrian highlands before the main Danish army arrives in Yellinburg, then the Danes will definitely retreat in the face of difficulties" Zhao Yougong said to the point, but it is not easy to do this, just like Xiao Zhiyun thought, if the Germans rely on the fortified city and defend the three cities, it is also three hard bones. Dongfang Jin pondered his eyebrows, and soon a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes that looked a little cloudy, "Your Highness, your subordinates have a clever plan, but this plan is too hurtful to the heavens and harmony, it depends on whether Your Highness dares to use it, whether he has the courage to do so!" ”

"Great officials? When is it, you are still selling with this king, when has this king been afraid of things, as long as your strategy is useful, this king will not dare, say it, and let everyone listen to your clever plan" The corners of Zhao Yougong's mouth were crooked, if someone wasn't there, the truth would be kicked according to Dongfang Jin's ass, how many years have passed, the temperament of the big officials has not changed at all, and from time to time they show off their talents to learn wisdom. Looking at everyone's strange eyes, Dongfang Jin smiled awkwardly, stretched out his index finger, and lightly nodded at Kyiv City, "Since Your Highness can send Vilnius and other cities out, why can't you send Kyiv City out?" The reason why we are a little passive now is because the city of Kyiv is too important, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it involves too much energy, what if we don't defend the city of Kyiv? Let's just evacuate the city of Kyiv and hold the Suzdal River with only a small number of soldiers and horses. In addition, the Third Army, the Fourth Army, and the Seventh Army were assembled, and nearly 80,000 troops were directly inserted into the Saxony Supprin Castle, the old nest of Lothair. Doesn't he want Kiev, we will give it to him, but we must also give us the Duchy of Saxony. In this exchange, it seems that we are losing, but in fact we are not losing, but we have earned, not to mention the large rear and baggage of the Germanic people, and we can also put pressure on other principalities other than Saxony. ”

Abandon the city of Kyiv? If it weren't for Dongfang Jin's always being clever and impressive, most people would have to throw Dongfang Jin into the oil pan and fry it at this time, which is simply crazy. Kiev City is a holy place of Kipros, and it is also Zhao Yougong's palace, giving up Kiev City, the regent will be shameless, and the withdrawal of medicine, hundreds of thousands of Kipros garrisons are all disgraced. However, I have to admit that Dongfang Jin's method is really effective, at least it will no longer involve too much energy, Yang Zaixing swallowed his saliva, and said with some confusion, "Mr. Dongfang, even if we are shameless and take the initiative to abandon the city of Kiev, even if we defeat the Duchy of Saxony, how can the many Germanic soldiers left on the Istrian heights be solved?" Although they were cut off from their baggage, the baggage on the Istrian heights alone was enough for them to hold out for several months, but it still couldn't achieve their goal of quickly destroying them. ”

After listening to Yang Zaixing's inquiry, Luo Weidenov and the others all nodded, Zhao Yougong and Xiao Zhiyun glanced at each other and did not rush to speak. The two of them are the most familiar with Dongfang Jin, and they know the personality of the big officials very well, and giving up the city of Kyiv can be regarded as lacking in virtue and boldness at best, but it is far from hurting the heavens and the peace, so it is estimated that there are a series of bad moves behind the big officials.
