Chapter 205: For Austin!
"What do you mean? United Iteo Empire to defend and attack? Austin VII asked directly.
This is also a straightforward statement between their brothers, put it on other ministers, and when the monarch asks him "do you want to take the initiative to start a war", it is estimated that this minister should think about whether the monarch is testing himself.
Of course, at this time, Austin VII just wanted to ask for Rare's opinion, and had no other meaning.
"Of course, otherwise you still expect the two empires in the far northwest? People are not in a hurry, even if the strength of the Lane Empire is indeed so strong, it is still unrealistic to fight the two empires in the northwest, after all, our two empires are in front of us along the way, even if the Lane Empire is really strong enough, kill us, and there are still a lot of kingdoms and principalities. Riel said.
"However, if the Lane Empire is really so strong, then we will unite with the Iteo Empire, even if we defeat the Lane Empire, we will definitely suffer a lot of damage......," Austin VII immediately thought of what would happen after the war.
After all, war is not a one-sided slaughter, the war between evenly matched powers has always been to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and when their vitality is greatly damaged, the two major empires that are eyeing each other behind, and so many kingdoms and principalities are definitely likely to be unable to hold back!
"As long as we are on the same front as the Iteo Empire, then the two empires in the northwest will not have too many ideas, after all, they are not so united, we and the Iteo Empire have a common enemy, a common threat, so united......"
"As for the principalities of those kingdoms...... The number of armies formed by the combination of a large number of small nations is also staggering......"
"But a fist of sand is just sand after all, and if you encounter a little more strong resistance, you will immediately collapse...... "Riel said with a cold snort.
Austin VII let out a long sigh and slowly closed the piece of information in his hand.
"That's all I can do...... Who made our Austin Empire too close to that star...... It's normal for people to watch the fire from the other side......"
"Etéo V is still waiting for my reply, and now with your nod, the alliance between our two empires will be officially formed! As for the alliance contract, it was originally a piece of waste paper, whether there was or not, we were just forced to form an alliance, as long as the threat of the Ryan Empire was still one day, our alliance didn't need such a thing as a contract to bind it at all! Riel laughed.
"So what do we do? Hands-on? Austin VII asked, his eyes glinting with war.
The children and grandchildren of the Austin family have never been afraid of war! Prudence is not the same as fear of war! When war could not be avoided, when that day came, he Austin VII even dared to lead the charge!
"No, let's not do it yet." Riel laughed.
The change in the topic of "uh......" made Austin VII's tone stagnate. They looked at each other suspiciously.
It is impossible for Riel not to understand the truth of the speed of the soldiers, since he has decided to make a move, he should move like thunder!
"Now the Ryan Empire doesn't know how many years it has been preparing for war, the repair of the city walls, equipment maintenance, and the hoarding of food and weapons have already begun, and we were still immersed in the fantasy of 'peace' a moment ago, and many of the ballistas on the city walls have been rusted, I don't know if they can be pulled away!"
"Our attack at this time, although it will have a certain effect of 'surprise attack', but the enemy's army is 'waiting for work'! In the face of an adversary who has been preparing for war many years in advance, we must not act rashly! Riel said solemnly.
Austin VII put the information in his hand together and reached out to fill Rare's glass with red liquor again.
"You kid......" Austin VII laughed suddenly.
"From the moment I sat down and started this conversation, every question I asked, you were obviously prepared. You've been leading you by the nose......"
"Well, my Lord, everything is up to you, and if I question your plans in any way, you will have a good reason to convince me, right?" Austin VII looked at his brother in front of him and smiled.
If it was an ordinary monarch and minister, he might have been estranged because of suspicion, but Austin VII's string of words at this time would make the courtiers who spoke out fearful.
But these two won't! There are already a lot of bonds and brotherly feelings in them, and it is estimated that only these two people can understand.
In the face of Austin VII's words, Riel had been preparing in his stomach to explain the words......
Actually, as Austin VII said. With Riel's understanding of Austin VII and this elder brother, he had already guessed all the reactions of the other party, and had prepared the corresponding wording and evidence according to the other party's reactions......
Apparently Austin VII thought of this at this time and said this.
Rare knew very well that there was no blame in the other party's words.
Riel knows his brother, and his brother knows him, it's as simple as that.
Silence returned to the hall, except for the murmur of water, the sound of Austin VII pouring wine.
"Back then, didn't my father let you succeed to the throne, your brain is no worse than mine, and your martial arts talent is good, and you are better than me in every aspect......" Austin VII said with a smile.
"Brother......" Riel muttered, but was interrupted by a raised hand from Austin VII.
"Oh...... When I'm older, I always like to think about the past......" Austin VII said with a smile.
"Why do you want such high martial arts skills to be an emperor? Fighting, that's a courtier's business! Austin VII also mimicked the tone of his memory that Riel had said this.
"Although my father, at your request, passed the throne to me. But I've always thought that this position belongs to the two of us. ”
"Before my father left, I said that since I became Austin VII, I must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Austin Empire, and I don't want to be able to conquer the world like Austin I, but at least don't let the ancestral foundation be ruined."
"Now, it's time to fulfill this responsibility and fulfill this mission!"
"I have always had absolute trust in you." Austin VII laughed.
"It's not just because we're brothers, it's because I know very well that everything you and I do, the goal is always the same!"
"That's it...... For Austin! Austin VII looked Riel in the eye and raised his glass.
"Just do what you want! You don't have to try to convince me! ”
Riel slowly lifted the wine glass in front of him, and just now, Austin VII had already leaned over and filled it with red wine.
"For Austin!" Riel laughed.
