Chapter 163: Northern Holy War (Part II)
"What the hell is this・・・・・・?" Constance Dante asked with some confusion as he looked at the snow field in front of him.
It was a little too far from Novgorod, but closer to the city of Pskov, which was occupied by the Teutonic Knights, and Archduke Constance Dante did not expect that Archduke Alexander would take him here. It's a little too dangerous! And the snowfield in front of Constance Dante doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary, on the contrary, it is very suitable for large legions to fight, and if Constance Dante is the commander of the Teutonic Knights, this place can definitely be an excellent battlefield to take advantage of the number of mechas. In the vast snowfield, the torrent of mecha is unstoppable, and if the man in front of him wants to use this place as the location of the decisive battle, then Constance Dante can only say that Archduke Alexander is crazy.
"I think you're crazy, Constève!" Alexander also saw at a glance what Constance Dante was thinking, and Constance Dante nodded unabashedly.
"If you can think so, then the Teutonic Knights must think so. That's what I'm trying to do, and it's the only place to be a battleground for jihad. By the way, you really didn't notice the difference here?" Alexander looked at the endless snowfield in a daze, there was not even a trace of green in front of him, it stands to reason that even if it is snowy in Northwest Rus, there should be at least a dense coniferous forest, although Constance Dante noticed this, but he still did not understand what this man meant.
"Come with me!" Alexander said as he walked towards the snowfield.
"That's too dangerous, Grand Duke." And at this moment, Oginets, who was wearing a bronze mask, made a deep voice.
"You don't have to worry about that, I'm more familiar there than you are." Archduke Alexander waved his hand and said, while Constance Dante followed, trying to see what was going on.
Constance Dante and Alexander walked towards the snowfield one after the other, and suddenly Alexander stopped, and when he saw the other stop, Constance Dante also stopped.
"What's wrong?" Constance Dante asked, becoming more and more unclear about the man's intentions. Alexander brought himself over, but Constance Dante still did not see why.
"Kang Shi Dante-kun, you can try to go forward." A subtle smile appeared on Alexander's face, as if it meant something deep.
Alexander pretended to be mysterious, and Constance Dante didn't ask again, just according to what the other party said, he took two steps forward, and his eyes were white, he didn't understand what was strange here, but only five or six steps out, Cons Dante felt something strange under his feet, only heard a "click", as if something was broken, and then he felt that the soles of his feet were empty, but Constance Dante had not completely lost his balance at the last moment, Alexander grabbed him by the arm just in time and pulled him back.
After regaining his balance and steady, Cons Dante, who was shocked into a cold sweat, subconsciously looked at the place where he was standing in front of him, only to see a huge hole appear, and below was a pool of icy cold pools.
"It's ・・・・・・!" Consciente, Dante, who had palpitations, looked at the cold puddle and couldn't help but be afraid, Alexander obviously knew before, but he didn't tell himself.
"It's not a snowy field in front of you, it's a frozen lake!" Alexander chuckled softly, "And this is the best place to bury the Teutonic Knights." It is the final graveyard of those paladins. ”
"Are you trying to ・・・・・・?"
"After a few days, the severe cold will make the ice on the lake thicken, and even people will not be dangerous to step on it, but this does not mean that the mecha can also be, if that kind of behemoth falls into the lake, I am afraid that the cold lake water has entered the power core, and it will have to be extinguished." Alexander closed his eyes and imagined the scene, and it was wonderful. At first glance, anyone would have thought that this was just a snowy field, but this was the final destination he had chosen for the Teutonic Knights.
"But here's a lake, how could the Teutonic Knights not know?" Constance Dante asked suspiciously, he was a foreigner and did not know the geography of Rus' was understandable, but the Teutonic Knights' expansion of Rus had been planned for a long time, and they would be fooled.
"Of course, you will know that Lake Chud is an important lake in the territory of Rus's, but under the heavy snow and ice, the two armies suddenly encountered, do you think that anyone can really identify it in the vast snowfield at such a juncture?" Alexander asked rhetorically, "Indeed, once the severity of the war rises to a critical point, it means that human reason will be completely lost, and at that time, there will be nothing but killing.
"The average depth of the water in Chud Lake is seven meters, and the deepest point is fifteen meters, which is enough to kill mechs." Although the mecha of the Teutonic Knights is huge, it is only the elite mecha piloted by the main battle knight that can reach the level of fifteen meters, while the auxiliary knights are mostly between eight and ten meters, and if you fall into the ice lake at such a height, the power core will inevitably stop.
"And what am I going to do?" Constance Dante asks if Alexander has already thought of a plan against the Teutonic Knights, then there must be a reason why he needs to join himself.
"Assassinate Grand Master Kniprod of the Teutonic Knights. The sharpest sword is naturally used to stab the enemy's deadliest vital points! Alexander replied, looking at Constance calmly.
Assassinate the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights?!
Constance Dante's heart tightened suddenly, he didn't expect the other party's plan to be so simple and violent, but how easy it was to say, how could such an existence be so easy for one of the princes of the Holy Roman Empire to assassinate, not to mention that it was a ridiculous idea to rely on one person to control the situation of the war.
"Are you kidding? I'm not sure I'll break through the black stream. And how can you guarantee that the Teutons will fight you here. Constance Dante shook his head and said that he was not going to be foolish enough to believe in a whimsical plan.
But Grand Duke Alexander just shook his head and said confidently: "Of course I'm not joking. In a war, seizing the opportunity is equivalent to grabbing the skirt of the goddess of victory. When they fall into the trap of the ice lake, they will inevitably fall into chaos, but as the commander, Kniprod will surely regain his composure in a short time, and you will have to assassinate him in a short time to change the tide of battle, and then someone will naturally pick you up. One person, of course, cannot decide the outcome of a war, but the last straw can also crush a camel. (To be continued.) )
