Chapter 665: Council of Western Lords (I)

The player lord of the Swiss Confederation, Zurich City, and the Swiss Quarter ordered martial law throughout the city, as Alexander decided to form an alliance to besiege Attila in this neutral city.

The Swiss lords did not want to offend any civilization, let alone several powerful civilizations of kings and grand duke-level figures, and took the initiative to choose to hold talks in the Swiss quarter.

If something of this caliber were to happen to the Swiss Zone, Switzerland would not be able to maintain its status as a neutral zone.

The Zurich Legion, the most powerful in the Swiss Confederation, numbered about 8,000 men, and was responsible for guarding the city and providing protection for the people.

A typical Swiss halberdier holds a Western-style halberd with a combination of spears and axes, guarding important buildings such as teleportation arrays and main streets.

In addition to the Swiss halberders, the Zurich Legion also had pikemen, crossbowmen, and a small number of new arquebusiers.

"Alexander: They chose to meet in the city of Zurich, and it was really troublesome. These big people, if anything happens, the civilization behind them will not let us go. But Alexander gave a lot of gold and silver, which was equivalent to hiring the Zurich army. ”

"In case Attila bribes some of the players and assassinates in the city of Zurich, we in the Swiss Quarter cannot bear the wrath, everyone must be spirited and don't make any mistakes, otherwise it will damage the reputation of our Swiss mercenaries and neutral zones."

"When these kings and princes arrive, they will also carry guards, so we don't have to worry too much."

The Swiss lords deliberated and deployed in private.

Halberd infantry and crossbowmen of the Zurich Regiment patrol the streets.

The teleportation array of the teleportation array flickered, and rows of well-armored knights came out of the teleportation array, with black crosses on the chest of their robes and shields on a white background.

These knights have high morale, haughty eyes, and have been battle-hardened!

"Teutonic Knights ......!"

The Swiss lords stood outside the teleportation array, greeting this group of uninvited guests, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw the Teutonic Knights.

The Swiss Confederation was also originally part of the Holy Roman Empire and later became independent from the Holy Roman Empire. The two actually have a certain origin.

The Teutonic Order (the predecessor of the Duchy of Prussia) merged with Brandenburg and belonged to the civilized area of the Holy Roman Empire. Under the civilization of the Holy Roman Empire, there were lords such as the Archduke of Austria, the King of Bohemia, the Duke of Saxony, and the Count of Brandenburg.

At present, in the civilization area of the Holy Roman Empire, the player princes and feudal nobles are manipulating everything, even if the emperor is elected by the player princes as puppets, in fact, the various princes swallow each other, in a sense, it is somewhat similar to the end of the Han Dynasty, and it is different from Rome and Macedonia controlled by NPCs. Of course, there are only some similarities, but in fact the rules are very complicated. The player princes took advantage of the chaos to rise, but they yearned for unity.

So when they saw the Teutonic Knights, the lords of Switzerland knew that it was Hohenzollern, the most powerful player lord of Brandenburg in the Holy Roman Empire.

The Teutonic Knights were the most powerful force in the hands of the Hohenzollern, as the Teutonic Knights had a domain and an army, which was the predecessor of Prussia.

The current Hohenzollern has unified most of the German vassal states.

Hohenzollern shook hands with the lords of the Swiss Confederation, and he did not want to annex the Swiss Confederation, but France and Rome would not sit idly by and watch Germany annex the Swiss Confederation.

"Whether it's Attila, Alexander, or Caesar, all of them are ambitious, maybe we should join forces to eliminate all these big shots, and we players will establish a new order."

Hohenzollern has bigger goals.

The Swiss lord, however, rejected the offer: "Switzerland will remain neutral forever." ”

"You are in the mountains, and you can be alone, but we are in the plains, but we cannot stay away."

Not long after Hohenzollern finished speaking, the teleportation array flashed again, and another great lord arrived, this is in the civilization area of the Holy Roman Empire, the Austrian player Grand Duke Ferdinand, who is enough to compete with Hohenzollern, led a team of Austrian infantry and Hungarian hussars to arrive!

"Hohenzollern, should we reduce the number of troops we use to defend each other? Otherwise, we will not be able to draw enough troops to go against Attila. ”

Ferdinand intended to take the initiative to reconcile with Hohenzollern.

Now Hohenzollern has more territory in his hands than the Austrian Archduke.

At the same time, the Grand Duchy of Austria was sandwiched between civilizations such as the Kingdom of Macedonia, the Hunnic Empire, and the Kingdom of Poland, which was quite uncomfortable.

"Our Holy Roman Empire might as well be unified, so that perhaps even Alexander of the Macedonian kingdom will not be our opponent."

Hohenzollern sought to unify the entire Holy Roman Empire.

Because of the presence of a large number of players and the powerful civilizations around it, the Holy Roman Empire had to choose unification, otherwise, Germany may be conquered by the Kingdom of Macedonia and the Kingdom of France.

Hohenzollern even wanted to annex the Austrian and Hungarian civilizations.

"Although we all belong to the Holy Roman Empire, our players and civilians will not choose to merge with you. Dividing the Holy Roman Empire into two halves is already the best ending. ”

Lord Ferdinand was still reluctant to merge with Hohenzollern into a more powerful and complete Holy Roman Empire.

Hohenzollern's eyes were a little gloomy, but then he regained his looks: "Then so be it, we will divide the Holy Roman Empire into two halves, I will establish the Kingdom of Prussia, and you will establish the Austrian Empire." ”

Ferdinand agreed to Hohenzollern's verbal agreement: "You have to believe that this is the best ending for us." ”

In addition to the great German princes represented by Hohenzollern and Ferdinand, the Holy Roman Empire also had more than 200 large and small princes, who were attached to the two major princes and chose to unify quickly. In return, Hohenzollern and Ferdinand still retained their nobility.

"The triumvirate of the Roman Republic, Caesar, Constantine, and Pompey have arrived!"

A group of elite Roman soldiers emerged from the teleportation array, their armor and shield style, completely different from that of the German civilization, and easily recognizable at a glance.

Caesar, Pompey, and Constantine (the player lord) who replaced Crassus traveled from the Roman teleportation array to Zurich after the Roman soldiers were sure that there was no ambush on the other side of the teleportation array.

Caesar's eyes were on the princes of the Holy Roman Empire.

In the eyes of Caesar's Triumvirate, the Roman Republic was the real Rome, and the Holy Roman Empire was actually the German Quarter.

The relationship between European civilizations is quite complex, and it has been simplified in "Lords", otherwise it is even more complicated.

"The Swiss Confederation is adjacent to our Rome, and if we can take the Swiss Confederation, we can conquer Gaul (France) and Germany."

Behind Caesar, the young Octavian, came to the city of Zurich, who, like Caesar, was as ambitious as Caesar, and was approved by Caesar.

Caesar was old, and Octavian was more likely to succeed Caesar.

Caesar's voice was low: "Octavian, don't expose your ambitions on their territory, we in Rome still need to accumulate strength." ”

Constantine also brought an escort, the Roman beast hero Spartacus.

Spartacus's eyes were blank, but there was a murderous aura, and the lord and the Swiss halberd who were swept by his eyes all had goosebumps, as if the person in front of him was not a warrior, but a beast.

The Roman Beastfighters were the most powerful group of people in Roman civilization, but they were brave and unscrupulous, lacked discipline when fighting in groups, and were easily suppressed by Roman legions, but the Beastfighters fought alone, but they could tear the enemy apart.

In addition to Spartacus, Constantine also brought the famous Roman general Scipio the Younger.

"It is said that Rome had a total of twenty-four eagle flags, two of which are still missing, and twenty-two eagle flags. Among them, Caesar and Pompey each had seven eagle banners, while Constantine had eight eagle banners. The next to be carved up is most likely Pompey's Eagle Banner. ”

The German lord Hohenzollern, has been keeping an eye on this potentially extremely powerful enemy.
