Chapter 195: Cessation of War (1)
The fine snowflakes are falling in a frenzy, different from the biting cold of the Northern Wilderness, the cold winter in the middle of the violet has not yet entered the most cruel stage, and the bloated and thick cotton clothes and leather armor can also resist this cold.
"What do you think?" Diana, the eldest princess of Violet, who had not seen her for a long time, handed a letter to Kant Lawrence.
The two who used to have a relationship with Wang Xiaotian in the past have now changed a lot.
If Diana was a changeable and elusive princess in the past, she always wore a mask that made people scratch her head, then Diana at this time is like a real queen, and her words and deeds are full of that queenly majesty. And Kant Lawrence on the side, as the largest family leader in the Northlands today, he seems to have been smoothed out by the stalemate war, and the whole person looks a lot calmer.
The continuous northland army was stationed on the north-north plain of the central Violet River, and the terrain of the flat river allowed the cavalry of the northland to crisscross to their heart's content, but the cavalry was always the king of the plain, and it was difficult for them to achieve strategic victory in the face of a city like Magnolia.
Kant Lawrence, as a staunch supporter of Diana, led most of the Laurent family's private army to be stationed near the Chinese army's tent.
Took the letter from Diana.
Kant meticulously began to read carefully, in such a winter, Kant was wearing a dark red armor, which was a thick fur coat, his tall figure could not be seen bloated even if he was wearing such a thick one, and there was a slight fatigue between the angular eyebrows, and it seemed that the continuous war made the young patriarch a little unbearable.
Soon.
Kant, who had read the letter, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then he said in a heavy tone: "My Grand Duke, things are getting worse and worse. Earl Andy's announcement of the condemnation and march of O'Neill's rebellion has seriously threatened our rear. ”
There is only one content on this letter.
Andy Adams, Earl of the West, recently issued an official order to attack O'Neill's rebellion, which means that the successful earl will personally go out to quell O'Neill's rebellion.
O'Neill's rebellion, which has been going on for some time.
Before that, all the energy was drawn to the battle for royal power.
In the eyes of Violet, who has a huge aristocratic system, a number of murders of nobles and rebellions in history have all been extinguished without exception, and all those who dare to raise the banner to rebel are almost enemies of the entire aristocratic system, and O'Neill's rebellion is not a problem at all.
The reason why they have been allowed to make trouble for so long is complicated.
There are two most important points, the first is that almost all the troops in the Northland are invested in supporting Diana, and they are seriously underwhelmed in military strength. The second is that there are some shadows of other foreign forces behind O'Neill, who are secretly manipulating O'Neill's rebellion.
"A blizzard is coming! ”
Kant was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said this.
"Wess is more cunning than he thinks! Those damn central tycoons are also grass on the wall, and when I sit on the throne of the Grand Duke, I will hang them one by one on the high platform!" said Diana indignantly.
The current situation is not in favor of Diana.
What is the war sometimes fought? It is the economy, the army, and the right time and place.
For Diana, the only thing she has is her identity, but the symbolic identity does not affect the big noble clans. Look at Weis, who has de facto dominion over Magnolia, and at the same time, he has the support of some of the central tycoons.
"The current situation is very bad, and the soldiers have no heart to fight anymore. ”
Kant looked at Diana with a serious expression, his eyes were full of worry, and the current situation was indeed extremely unfavorable.
Most of Diana's army are warriors from the north, and as we all know, not long ago the Northland was suffering from an unprecedented war, even the Northland Count was killed in battle, and countless homeless people were crying in the Northland, and at this time, the lords actually called on most of the young people to go to the central part to participate in the battle of the dukes.
From the perspective of people and above, Diana is already extremely disadvantaged.
What's worse is that.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is not long before there is an estimated snowstorm, in which the cavalry will not be able to gallop, and the hands that pick up weapons will be frozen, let alone fighting.
It didn't even take Weiss to send people to attack, and the cruelty of nature would have killed most of the soldiers.
Therefore.
From a practical point of view, Diana has actually failed, the Northlanders are not the kind of old-fashioned antiques, they will not ignore the entire Northland people because of the so-called "orthodoxy" and aristocratic glory.
Essentially, Kant was also one of the Lords of the Northlands, and he was starting to get a little anxious, as the long away battles and the rotten situation in the Northlands forced him to get out of the whirlpool of war as soon as possible.
"Speaking of which...... It seems that something happened in the south not long ago. What is Rockefeller Scott going to do?" Kant changed his words, and instead of talking about the heavy topic of the day, he seemed to casually mention another protagonist of the Battle of the Middle East.
Rockefeller Scott.
The Governor of the South, the rightful heir to the Scott family, and a prince of the heavily armed side.
Diana glanced at Kant with a depressed look, the short-term tempering has made Her Royal Highness the princess have a lot of power, and she knows very well why Kant wants to mention Rockefeller Scott at this time.
Rockefeller Scott was also planning to withdraw his troops.
Although the young Southern Governor sent troops to the central part of the country under the banner of "revenge", Wang Xiaotian and McAdam raided his hometown still made him very anxious.
Moreover, the southerners are very unaccustomed to this kind of ice and snow weather, and it will probably not be long before these southerners will go back.
The loss of the support of the southerners, the unstable morale of the soldiers in the north, and the unclear attitude of the marquis in the east, as if he didn't care about his nephew and niece sitting on the grand duke's throne, all made Diana understand that this battle could not be fought.
Thinking about everything, Diana shrugged her shoulders a little weakly, and said with difficulty: "Withdraw!"
After saying these two words, Diana seemed to have exhausted all her strength, her delicate and tight facial features began to relax, and the tiredness that could not be concealed began to surge up, and the female half-body armor that should have been heroic revealed a trace of weakness on her body.
At this moment, the eldest princess, who was very favored by the eldest prince, was like a weak and helpless girl, and her soft face was full of exhaustion and frustration. Unlike her father, Diana is a discerning princess who can see where Violet's decline comes from, and she also hopes to change Violet, however, she is stronger than people.
