184. Comparison of military strength and strategic dissent

"I decided to withdraw from the coalition. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Whoever holds up a finger and turns it around there.

"Ah, by the way, let's quit the Kingdom of Fran by the way. ”

He said in a light-hearted, joking tone.

"If you think about it carefully, in addition to war and peace, there is obviously a third way to go, so I simply joined the Xibai Kingdom and married the queen over there. ”

"In this way, the so-called violation has become a game of rolling the sheets between me and Isabella, so the previous declaration of war will naturally not be established, will it. ”

At least half of Philip didn't take the above words seriously, after all, he had lived here for a while, and he had seen the willfulness and chaos of the little duke.

Although half of it was not taken seriously, the remaining half was enough to make Philip feel furious.

The mixture of fear, annoyance, and surprise brewed in his heart, and Philip couldn't help but amplify his voice.

"This is not a joke, Van, no, Duke of Almac, do you really understand what you are talking about?"

Not only Prince Philip, but the rest of the nobles also looked at each other, they did not expect that Fan would be so extreme.

The godfather of Fan, Duke Raymond's eyes widened, and he looked at his godson stupidly, while his cousin Duke Pons's eyes showed a cold light, and he subconsciously coughed a few times.

The remaining dukes also looked at Duke Almac in front of them with all kinds of puzzles and doubts, as well as some emotions that only those of them could understand.

Behind Fan, Silver's face was obscured by a mask, so it was impossible to see the expression on her face, while the handsome old man Dihar beside her had a blank look, as if he was completely unmoved by Fan's rebellious words.

Looking at the expressions of the people in front of him, Fan nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke again.

"I understood what I was saying because it was a joke. ”

“......”

Philip smiled helplessly, to be able to make such a bad joke on such a solemn occasion desperately, should it be said that it is worthy of mortal?

"I hate the atmosphere just now, suffocate me, the guys from Xibai haven't fought yet, are you starting to fight in the nest? It's so boring, intrigue or something is the most annoying, so I decided to make a joke and change the atmosphere. ”

Fan said lightly, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

"How's that, is it funny?"

“......”

“......”

The nobles who participated in the meeting looked at each other, and it was Duke Raymond who took the lead and smiled bitterly: "Little Almac, we are all here to help you, only this point, please don't doubt it, the atmosphere just now is indeed a little problematic, it is not the atmosphere that should exist between companions, okay, let's change it from now on." ”

"Ahem......" Philip coughed dryly a few times, and then stepped down through the ladder: "Duke Raymond is right, my lords, whatever the grievances, please put it aside, until then, we still have a common enemy to face." ”

"So, let's start the combat meeting. ”

The distribution of the meeting rooms is like this.

As previously described, His Royal Highness Prince Philippe Capet sat on the main seat at the front of the long table, and behind him stood an angular middle-aged knight who looked to be about 40 years old, and who had ever seen him as a member of his sister's Knights of Eden.

To Philippe's left was the Duke of Raymond de Toulouse, a man who had also been a formidable knight in his youth, and perhaps because he was confident in his skills, he did not bring a bodyguard, but only a weak-looking secretary, who was constantly writing and drawing behind the Duke of Raymond, as if recording the contents of the meeting.

To the right of Philip is Van as a landlord, and behind Van is, of course, Silver and Dihar. Here, as the assassin, Silver should not be eligible to participate in this meeting, but no one raised any objections to Silver's appearance in this place, and the nobles in the south did not mention it, they originally had an inexplicable affection for Silver, Philip has been living in Almac Castle, and basically can often meet with the assassin who guards Fan at any time, so he has no intention of driving this assassin, plus of course Fan will not dismantle his platform, therefore, even if his identity is not enough, Silver can still stay in this place.

As for Dihar, it is different, as the inevitable trump card in this war, the old handsome paladin naturally has the right to participate in this meeting.

The Duke of Pons of the Duchy of Oliver, that is, the cousin who is super bad with the Duke of Raymond, the old duke is supported by his daughter because of his weak health, the duke is a slightly old woman, although it is well maintained, but the small wrinkles at the corners of her eyes can not deceive people, at the moment she stays quietly by the duke's side, looking like a perfect caretaker, and has no intention of intervening in the meeting at all.

Then there are the dukes of Pois, Bourbon and Duchy of Guienna, who are slightly less powerful and therefore low-key, but that is also relatively speaking, after all, as dukes, each of them controls a huge territory that cannot be seen from this side to the other, and it can be said that before the Boer region is obtained, the Duchy of Almac is not even comparable to any of them, whether it is territory or strength, it can only be ranked last.

Although the guards they each brought were all extremely powerful existences, there was no paladin among them, and the handsome old man brought by Fan was the strongest existence here, and he even suppressed the middle-aged man behind His Royal Highness the Prince, which gave Fan a stronger right to speak.

"First of all, you must make sure, did you really violate the queen of the West Worship?"

It was not Philip who spoke, but Duke Raymond with an ambiguous expression.

Philip also seemed curious about this, so he took his breath and did not dispute the question.

His Royal Highness had seen with his own eyes how close Her Majesty the Queen was to Mortal, and Philip would not have believed anything that had violated that Queen and caused war as a result. He also seemed very curious, why did the two people who were obviously close to each other get to the point of facing each other, was this really the will of Her Majesty the Queen?

Thinking of what Van had said earlier about leaving France and joining the West, Philip speculated that perhaps it was Her Majesty who had encouraged Van to commit treason, and that the loyal Duke of Almac had rejected the Queen's request, which led to the current situation.

I refused to answer. Van said, "This is my housework." (Deceptive.) ）

Well, Philip immediately understood that the housework was a harem matter, right!!This is definitely a problem with the huge harem owned by Nagi's flowery brother, and the Kingdom of Fran can be said to be shot while lying down!!

"Can't you reconcile with Her Majesty?" said Philip tentatively.

"Even if I wanted to reconcile, she had already gone back. (also deceptive)

Philip's mind instantly formed plays such as "Her Majesty goes back to her mother's house to find someone to cry, and the angry brother-in-law vows to tear down Almac".

In this way, it was a tragedy for both Fran and Sibai.

"Well, let's talk about the battle. So His Royal Highness the prince could only reluctantly turn the topic back to the right path.

After an exchange of views, Philip, who chaired the meeting, made a summary.

"Well, the Duke of Raymond and the Duke of Pons each brought 5000 soldiers, then 3000 soldiers led by the Duke of Bourbon, 2000 soldiers each led by Poise and Gienna, and 1500 soldiers in Almac's own possession. ”

"It's a standing army. Van said: "Unlike the conscripts, although the number of soldiers in our country is small, every one of them is elite. But it's probably not as good as the heavy cavalry of the godfather's house. ”

"Hehe, good boy, I have a little knowledge, don't worry, this time the godfather I have brought all my family resources, just to support you to overthrow the queen of Xibai, which is completely different from the ineffective militia led by some people. ”

"Let's see if the so-called militia and your family's iron shell are stronger. Duke Pons said coldly.

Philip, who was accustomed to being interrupted from speaking, only began to speak after arguing on both sides: "There are also 4,000 soldiers supported by His Majesty the Great King, among them, the most elite Knights of the Praetorian Guard of the Kingdom will participate in the battle, and they are on their way here at this moment, if we can wait for this reinforcement to arrive, I think our battle line will become more stable." ”

"To sum up, our current military strength is about 18,500, and our enemy ......" Without looking at any documents, Philip was able to tell the enemy's situation: "Sibhai has an army of about 30,000 men, and if we simply compare the numbers, we will be in an extremely disadvantageous position." But we have a good geographical position, this is our territory, and at this moment we are only gathering troops from the south, and reinforcements from His Majesty the King and the northern princes will continue to reinforce us, as long as we can withstand the initial attack of the enemy, we will be invincible!"

Philip appeared confident in his strategic intentions, and he decided to stay on the sidelines.

However, Van was not happy with this decision.

"My territory is burning, my people are bleeding, and you want me to hold the battle line like this, waiting for God knows when reinforcements will come?"

"Philip, do you think I'll accept such a thing?"

"What do you mean, Duke Almac?"

Fan's face suddenly revealed the kind of harmless smile that only he could express naturally and without pretentiousness, like a cute and innocent little white rabbit.

"Do you know what I'm best at?"

"...... in the Interior Talent?" Philip thought for a moment and said, he was quite convinced of the Duke's ability to handle government affairs, this little duke, and the Inspector Miss under him were definitely superbly talented in this regard...... If you don't have the problem of being lazy.

"You're mistaken. Van smirked.

"The best thing I do is run away!!"
