"Everyone, please be silent!" Solzhenitsyn tried his best to stabilize the situation, but the smell of gunpowder was so strong that it would be worse if relations between Novgorod and the other principalities broke down.

For a moment, the cynicism between the coalition generals and parliamentarians suddenly stopped, but the atmosphere was still tense.

The generals turned their heads to Solzhenitsyn at the top of the steps, but there was no respect in their eyes.

"Are you finally ready to come out and explain, Solzhenitsyn?" General Vasily asked with a sneer, compared to him, he was already much more restrained than other generals, but what had happened in the past few days had made him very dissatisfied. In the battle of Landenburg, almost all the soldiers under his command were wiped out, and the hatred between him and the Teutonic Knights can be said to be more than these Novgorodians, and this time the purpose of his coming is to take revenge, even he knows that this time the Teutonic Knights are menacing, but he is ready to kill himself, but Novgorod's inaction for so many days has completely angered them.

"General Vasily, I know the grievances of you and the other generals, but Novgorod is just a city, its reserves can only maintain the status quo now, and we don't have a corpse meal, food is being delivered in a steady stream, I believe that the problem of the camp can be solved in a few days, I hope you can understand our difficulties." Solzhenitsyn patiently explained to everyone that in fact, Novgorod was indeed trying to raise war supplies, but it was really a drop in the bucket, and if this continued, Novgorod might not be able to support it. However, Alexander has been very leisurely for so many days, and he has no consciousness that a major war is imminent, and he even often goes out of the city not just to do something. But this undoubtedly exacerbated the discontent of the parliament. The war dragged on and on, and now the contradictions have accumulated to the point of being out of control. However, the soldiers of the coalition forces will not care about this.

"Get out! We're not here to hear that! If we continue like this, we will leave immediately, and we will have to give us an explanation of what you say!" "Behind. An enraged General Ross shouted.

"Shut up!" And unexpectedly. General Vasily interrupted with a roar, "Don't forget what we're here for, not to enjoy ourselves but to fight the Teutonic Knights!" Vasily looked at Solzhenitsyn and said: "I have come here for the simple purpose of revenge on the Teutonic Knights, and I hope Novgorod will know this, I am not interested in what you are doing now, I just want to ask - where are the Teutonic Knights?" Was Novgorod really determined to fight it? ”

"Of course, Novgorod is the greatest enemy of the Teutonic Knights, and the Teutonic Knights are also the greatest enemies of Novgorod, and of course we will do everything in our power to resist the black cross that poisons our homeland." Solzhenitsyn replied solemnly.

"What about your actions? The principalities to the west had also pledged never to compromise with the Teutonic Knights, but some had betrayed their oath. Vasily said with a sneer, causing everyone's faces to stiffen. The affairs of the western principalities have always been taboo for the Rus', when the Teutonic Knights had not yet launched a major attack, there were still many Rus' principalities in the area west of Novgorod, although they were small, but the alliance formed was enough to fight against foreign enemies, not to mention the Teutonic Knights who had just gained a firm foothold and had to suppress the Prussians.

At that time, Livonia was still in the hands of the Rus', but the local Livonian nobles were unwilling to be ruled by the Rus' and converted to the Holy Church to form the Knights of the Sword, and then joined the Teutonic Knights, which evolved into the Livonian faction that later expanded wildly against the Rus'. However, the fall of the Northwestern Duchy was not due to the external attack of the Teutonic Knights but to internal intrigues, and the largest Principality of Pskov at that time was jealous of the other principalities for trying to merge the alliance, so the principalities vied with each other to win over the Teutonic Knights in an attempt to deter Pskov, and Pskov naively wanted to rely on the Teutonic Knights to unify Northwest Rus. This time the series led to the explosion of the Black Cross metal frenzy seven years ago. The frenzied Livonian faction annexed most of the Baltic coast, and the Pskov principality also tasted the bitter fruit and became a puppet until it was annexed not so long ago.

This was such a shame that no one bothered to mention it, and today Vasily said it to everyone's surprise.

"Novgorod is Novgorod, we will not repeat the mistakes of the past, and attacking now will only complicate the situation. General Vasily, I hope you understand this. "Solzhenitsyn knew about Vasily's distrust, and this consciousness clearly spread, and if this continues, it will be very bad to raise the flag against Novgorod." And I hope that you will continue to stay and help Novgorod resist the invasion of the Teutonic Order. ”

"But if Novgorod continues like this, then we will no longer be accompanied, Novgorod is not qualified to command us, and we are not obliged to surround Novgorod." It was Captain Kesman who also walked out, looked at Solzhenitsyn and said. Most of them were skeptical of the military operation, and it was Alexander who decided to join the invasion of the Teutonic Knights, claiming that he could completely solve the invasion of the Teutonic Knights, but now it seems that it is better to end it sooner rather than later.

"yes, if this continues, we might as well leave as soon as possible."

"I don't want to be their cannon fodder!"

"That's right, you can't let the Novgorodians be such empty gloves white wolves!"

Seeing that the strongest Vladimir and Tver both expressed their attitudes, and the other principalities that joined the coalition were also shaken, these generals were reluctant to come here to participate, and now they did not want to leave as soon as they had such an opportunity.

Looking at this rabble, Solzhenitsyn's face became gloomy, and his patience was finally worn out.

"Please be silent, what if I must ask you to stay and accept Novgorod's command?" Solzhenitsyn shouted so forcefully that the noisy argument came to an abrupt end, and he was worthy of being the superior of Novgorod, and many generals could not help but suffocate and did not dare to speak.

However, Sergei, the son of the captain of the Kesman army, sneered and asked, "Why, do you think you are the king of Rus?" How dare you shout at us! ”

Solzhenitsyn, on the other hand, shook his head calmly and said, "Of course I am not qualified, but there is one person who has this qualification. Grand Imam Isdell, please be able to come out for a moment. ”

Solzhenitsyn's bland words made the atmosphere in the entire chamber freeze instantly! (To be continued.) )
