Chapter 426: The Meeting (I)
Time flew by, and while the Ainomosen side began to assemble troops on a large scale and openly declared war on the north, the Holy See and the Kingdom of Berland were already waiting quietly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In a paper holy war, Mien raised a huge army of 280,000 people in just half a month, and the royal family of Berland will also send 100,000 troops to assist the Holy See in the war.
Of the 280,000 troops recruited by the Holy See, more than half were private armies of nobles from all over the world, and countless people joined them with the purpose of making war money.
And according to the teachings, Meen had only one request for them, and it was strictly forbidden to slaughter those who surrendered without permission.
But all the other heretics who swore to the death against the Holy See in the war, whether they were commoners or nobles, were at their disposal!
How much money was robbed and how many people were killed, the Holy See will not care!
The edict of the holy war on a piece of paper caused an uproar in the north even more than the declaration of war by Enomosen in the north!
Countless believers who were already furious because of the death of the missionary took to the streets, chanting the name of the Light, demanding a crusade against heresy, and spreading the glory of the Light in the South!
The whole north is in a boiling state because of the advent of jihad!
Although Meen was the leader of the war, the real Supreme Commander in charge was the Holy Order's teamfighter, Samier Medester.
Prince Hogg would also serve as a deputy commander in the army.
At this time, more than 20 people, including these two people, were discussing the early offensive route.
Enomosen is a huge country, twice the size of the entire north!
Within 200 kilometers south of the Langnu Mountains were large hilly areas, and only the only three kilometers outside the Sa Buck Fortress were narrow plains, which were very unfavorable for cavalry warfare in the early stage.
And corresponding to the Buck Fortress, two hundred kilometers away is the northern defense line of Enomersen, which is connected by three large military fortresses, and at least these huge troops of more than 100,000 will be stationed there during the war!
Because after this it is all a large plain, once the defense line is breached, Enomosen will face a long drive of the northern cavalry, straight into the hinterland!
And in order to bypass that line of defense or to attack by force, the whole conference hall is already noisy at this time!
The high-pitched sound of the quarrel almost toppled the entire ceiling!
"Knight, Lord! I firmly disagree with storming the Petsain Line! In addition to sending our men to death in vain, once the battle stalemate, extending into the enemy area, the supply line of 200 kilometers will definitely be another nightmare for us!"
An old knight with gray hair glared angrily, and looked at Samier's face flushed, and even his breathing was a little uneasy.
Although the personal strength of this beautiful woman was very strong, which is also a fact recognized by everyone, it was also recognized by everyone that a woman who was only twenty-five years old was appointed as the commander of an army of nearly 400,000 people, and Palino could not understand what the Pope thought.
Did he think that the victory of the war was won by face and mouth?
Hogg was obviously very familiar with this Pallino's knight, and after a pause, he spoke, "Your Excellency Pallino, I think the concerns you mentioned Your Excellency have naturally considered it, although the storm is extremely risky, but once the fortress of Petsein is taken by us, those southerners will naturally taste the power of our cavalry. ”
Another thin man in his early thirties leaned on the table with his hands on the table with a serious expression, "I completely agree with the arrangement of His Excellency the Knight Commander, although a steady and steady attack will allow us to advance step by step in the territory of Enomosen, but it is very likely that this will delay the whole war in winter, and it is not without risk to bypass the fortress of Petsein, but if we take the waterway, we don't have so many big ships to transport troops." ”
Always silent, Samier, whose eyes were on the map, listened to the noise in the room and became more and more distraught.
Being responsible for commanding such a large army is not only a great deal of power, but also a heavy burden and pressure like a mountain!
Not to mention that because of one of his own orders, tens of thousands of people will be killed!
At this moment, the wooden door of the council hall was opened.
The eyes of everyone who had passed through the room were all on the door, and all the quarrels stopped in an instant, and everyone bowed their heads slightly, their faces solemn.
"His Excellency. ”
"Your Majesty. ”
With a smile on his face, Meen quipped, "Why don't you continue the discussion, I heard your fierce argument just now before I went downstairs, is there some key battle plan?"
The Pallino knight had a cold face, and at this time, the urn said in an urn, "Your Excellency the Pope, Your Excellency has always insisted that we should wave our troops directly to attack the Petsein line, but I think this is a wrong decision at all. ”
The old man's words did not leave any affection in Samier, and he almost said directly to Mine, 'This little girl is not good!
It's just that the female knight didn't make any response to this.
Like Hogg, Nicole was obviously familiar with the arrogant and stubborn old man, and looked at her husband helplessly, "Hogg, can you tell us what the specific thing is?"
The Silver Knight cleared his throat, "The opinions of these two can't directly say who is right and who is wrong, it can only be said that the risk of attacking is relatively large, and although the risk of the step-by-step style of play is small, the corresponding reward is ......."
It's just that before Hogg finished speaking, the gray-haired old man suddenly glared angrily, and even called Hogg's name!
"Hogg Baggins, you were just a walking kid when I fought with Agnes, and even though your teacher is dead, do you think you can defy my experience now?"
It's almost red-faced, thick-necked, and the nose is blowing outward!
"I'll tell you! I've seen no less than twenty radical war commanders like you! None of them have been able to reap the benefits! Instead, the opportunity has been wasted!"
Earl of Blood Horse, the Silver Knight Palino, the deceased Knight of Agnes, fought for the Berans all his life, and now serves as the deputy commander of the Kingdom Army.
Although he is a deputy commander, he is full of style!
A typical conservative.
Although he is very experienced in war, and even has an abnormal sense of smell to grasp the battle situation, he is short-tempered and stubborn, which is something he can remember.
Although being reprimanded by Palino in front of so many people made Hogg feel like a loss of royal face, seeing that he was an old minister under Old Charles, Hogg didn't say much.
So much so that after Pallino finished speaking, the entire council chamber fell into an extremely awkward atmosphere.
In addition to the fact that the parties were still doing their own thing, many people even noticed that His Majesty's expression was faintly displeased.
