Cold winds mixed with wind and snow drift around Cologne, rendering this thousand-year-old city like a country of ice and snow.

The Imperial military camp near Cologne was only maintaining a bright flame that lit up the surrounding environment for now.

Jack and Walkema wandered through the corridors of the royal palace of Cologne, neither of them saying a word for a moment.

"Did you hear that?" Jack was the first to break the silence: "I heard that Lu En has been completely supported by the Immortal Goddess Hall in the Lake. ”

Walkmar stopped, and could see that this information had made the high priest of Sigma tremble with anger.

Jack muttered: "The nobles of the south of Bretonnia have led their army north, and I heard that there is a small army of wood elves leading the army north. ”

"Damn, damn it, that rebel actually integrated Bretonnia!" Walkma lost her temper in anger, and there was silence for a while.

Only the sound of wind and snow outside the hallway.

However, Walkma calmed down, and his mind quickly thought: "The belonging of the southern nobles is an expected thing, after all, the order of the empire is to confiscate all the land of the nobles, so it means that the nobles are completely forced into a corner. ”

For a while, Walkmar hoped that it would be best for Bretonnia's White Tower not to be helped by anyone, that is, the matter of electing the Grand Priest would drag on for several months, so that the main force of the empire would be transferred to Bretonnia, so that the chances of victory would be greater.

However, I didn't expect Lu En to let the Great Priest be elected so quickly.

"Careless~" Walkema the Heartless sighed.

After Lu En left the army and then went to the White Tower in the south, it took only two months to elect the Great Priest, which was originally expected to be dragged down by the Beastmen in the south, or the Great Priest asked Lu En to deal with the Wood Elves first, it was very possible.

However, Bretonnia has concentrated all his hatred on the Empire, and even if the Beastmen are wreaking havoc in the south of Bretonnia, the White Tower believes that the main threat is the Empire in the north.

What surprised Walkmar even more.

Originally, he thought that the Wood Elves would produce a neutral position in this battle, but what he didn't expect was that the Wood Elves actually sent troops to help Lu En, although the number was not large, but it also showed an attitude, that is, the Wood Elves did not welcome the Empire to occupy Bretonnia.

Jack quickly broke the silence between the two: "How long will this war last, and the nobles of Bretonnia really don't remember the kindness of the previous king at all?" ”

Walkma didn't answer, and he didn't need to answer such questions, he looked at the snowflakes in the sky with a sad face, and didn't say a word.

But Jack's scream soon broke Walkma's musings, and he shouted in a quick, high-pitched voice, "The nobles of Bretonnia deserve to die, all deserve to die!" ”

"Why hasn't the Imperial army come to Cologne yet, didn't it say that 10,000 reinforcements had come to Bretonnia!!" Jack screamed loudly.

It can be seen that Jack has completely lost his mind, although he is wearing a crown and a royal robe, the confidence in the king has long been gone.

"Your Majesty, you have to be calm, you have to be calm!" Walkma said calmly: "We will win this war, we will win, the Bretonnian nobles are first of all independent, and the military orders are not understood, not to mention, when the imperial reinforcements come to Cologne, we will have an army of 20,000 people." ”

He paused: "Even if the Bretonnian noble coalition army has 30,000 people, it is just a rabble, and it is not worth mentioning at all. ”

Jack grinned: "Cologne's Praetorian Guard is completely gone, the Empire should at least let me sit firmly in the position of the puppet." ”

Walkma frowned: "Your Majesty, how many times have I said that the empire does not want you to become a puppet, all this is what Sigma Sect means. ”

The two were silent, and for a moment the room was calm again.

Overlooking the city of Cologne with the help of the royal corridor of Cologne, you can clearly see that in the snowstorm, the imperial army is approaching Cologne one after another.

"I don't think I'm going to last long." Jack said coldly, "The citizens of Cologne have long regarded me as an enemy. ”

"The people are forgetful, and if you give them a favor in the near future, they will be able to see you as a benefactor," said Walkmar calmly. ”

There was silence again.

"Our army will win!" Walkma's eyes seemed to burn with flames: "The combination of the Iron Division and the gunpowder will surely crush the knights of Bretonnia!" ”

Walkmar walked into the room with a brisk stride, staring coldly at the map on the wall.

When Lu En headed south, the Empire launched three successive battles in the Ardennes Forest, completely defeating the alliance of the Bretonnian nobles.

Although the front line has not collapsed, it has not made a difference.

If it weren't for the arrival of this blizzard, it would only take thirty days to completely disintegrate the alliance of the Bretonnian nobles.

In the Ardennes Forest, the knights' assault tactics were greatly limited, and on the other hand, the spirit of the Imperial warriors to endure hardships and fight to the end caused a great shock to the allied forces of the Bretonnian nobility.

"Under the arrangement of the aristocratic coalition, the Arden Forest has completely turned into a military fortress, but the guards of the fortress are still farmers and some dismounted nobles, but after all, it is too weak, although it is very troublesome, but accept a little battle damage, and it can still advance!"

In the battle in the Arden Forest, the Empire had a great advantage in countless battles with its strong firepower, especially the artillery, as soon as the roaring cannon sounded, the charging peasants would directly flee in fear.

Jack walked into the house, and he said calmly, "Walkma, tell me when the war will start. ”

Walkema glanced back at Jack and said indifferently, "When the wind and snow stop." ”

Jack said, "Is it a shortage of food? Or are you worried about the lives of your soldiers? ”

He walked up to Walkma's side, his face full of longing: "That's good, take whatever you need from Cologne, I want to see the noble alliance perish tomorrow." ”

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to bed." Walkema said calmly.

Jack frowned, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"I'm responsible for this war!" A gleam flashed in Walkma's eyes: "The lives of soldiers are also very precious, and the results of the war are also very important. ”

"There is still a unit of the Bretonnian aristocratic coalition that is advancing northward, ready to attack Cologne from the plains, and I must prepare for defense."

"Which troops?"

"The troops led by Lu En."

Jack's face showed a hint of hideousness: "He...... When will he attack. ”

"At the earliest, we need to wait until the end of the blizzard." Walkmar closed her eyes calmly.

While there was silence, a startling news came from outside the door: Princess Estella of Lyonis had been crowned Queen of Bretonnia, and Lu En had been proclaimed Lord Protector.

The Noble Coalition was unified under the leadership of Lu En, and at the same time, it was announced that after the end of the Bretonnian Civil War, the Noble Coalition was renamed the Bato Conquest Front.

"Careless!" Walkma's eyes widened and he rushed out the door, he was in the middle of the snow and ice, and only this could soothe his mood.

"He was originally just a supporting role in a lace news in the newspaper, but I didn't expect him to integrate the nobility of Bretonnia." Walkerma's face was distorted.

"White Tower...... Also have an opinion? Walkmar was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and anger swelled in his heart: "I should have sent someone to assassinate him on the day he came out, and this kind of trouble will arise in the back of the province. ”

"Now...... It's really ...... Disgusting. Walkma let out a heavy breath.

"Prepare, Jack, the Empire will gather its troops to prevent that Luen dog from jumping off the wall, I expected...... He launched a full-scale offensive in a month! Walkema said.

But soon another news came: three hours earlier, Bartow's Conquest Front had launched a full-fledged assault in the northern part of Lyonis, countless boulders had covered the Empire's defensive positions in a short period of time, there were about 300 Pegasus knights in the sky, and some people had even seen the green dragon of the Green Elves.

The helicopters that the Empire had placed on the southern front were swept away in an instant, and after the destruction of the helicopters purchased by the dwarves, the Empire had no air power for a short time.

The Imperial officers guarding the southern front initially thought it was just a tentative attack, but when the Knights of the Kingdom and the Black Dragon Knights of Bretonnia appeared on the battlefield as the main force of the assault.

Only then did the Imperial officers react that it was an attack on all fronts.

"Hmph, launch an all-out attack during a blizzard." Walkema took a deep breath and stared coldly at the map, "You're even crazier than I thought." ”

"An additional 6,000 men, mainly infantry, will surely drag all the knights of Bartow's conquest line." Walkmar looked at Jack behind him, "Little King, haven't you always wanted to see the Empire's tanks?" You'll have a chance to meet soon. ”

…………

Walkmar soon left Jack's side, he was not used to thinking in front of the king, and he only felt a moment of peace when he walked to a place where no one was.

At this time, the change in the situation made the Heartless Walkma feel very painful.

First of all, Lu's sudden attack completely broke his strategic deployment, and he originally thought that he would be able to continuously consume the blood of the Bretonnian nobles in the Arion Forest, and consume all those invincible knights. But this sudden attack from Leonis directly forced Walkma to be forced.

Secondly, the Imperial army deployed on the front line of the Asian Forest must not be able to retreat, and the front line of 15,000 people cannot retreat, which means that only 5,000 men can be used in Cologne.

These 5,000 men had only recently arrived in Cologne in a snowstorm, and from the point of view of physical strength, it was quite unfavorable to continue fighting at the moment.

What made Walkmar's heart even more painful was that his plan to easily deal with the nobles of Bretonnia had failed, and it was a battle of life and death that began with the battle of Lu En leading Bartow's conquest line to raid Cologne.

Even if he wins, Bretonnia will need decades of recuperation.

"Damn, the Chaos Legion will be on this continent soon, and the battle in Bretonnia can't afford to drag on." Walkema thought to herself.
