The geographical location of Canberra is very important, in the rear of the city, there is another Kendall City that is horned with Canberra City, these two are equivalent to the door gods of Normenkan City, the two cities and the rear of Normenkan City support each other, any side is attacked, the rear of the Normenkan will be supported in time to ensure safety, but now, the news suddenly came, Canberra City fell. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After receiving this news, Jonas's first reaction was that without Canberra City's defense, the Normenkan in the rear was a little far away from Kendall City, and Kendall City near it would definitely not be able to defend it. Because as long as the commander of the Southern Alliance has a little common sense, he can ignore part of his forces on Nomenkan, and then intercept the military momentum in the direction of Nomenkan through this road that has been opened, and then concentrate his troops to besiege Kendall, a city that is not very strong, Jonas feels that if he leaves it to himself, without any assistance in defense, he may only need half a day to capture this town.

Such a situation is obviously very unfavorable to Firia's side, and the growth and decline of power brought about by such victory and defeat is undoubtedly affecting everyone's hearts for the whole of Piedmont, the nobles of the south are excited, the nobles of the north are terrified, and the people of Billo are panicked for not knowing how to deal with the future situation, perhaps only the people of the karst territory are still living normally, and there is no feeling that affects their lives because of this incident.

Faced with the people who desperately need a solution, Jonas can only be forced to reluctantly gather everyone again to talk about the consequences of this matter, but this time on the basis of the previous meeting, the degree of cooperation of various departments is obviously much more compatible, so in less than two hours of the meeting, Jonas announced his plan to his people.

The final plan is not to directly participate in the war, but to support the weak and resist the strong through off-site support, and through the cooperation with the Northern Alliance, that is, Aunt Philia, so that the strength of the two sides will not widen the gap because of the fall of Canberra City this time, until the Earl of Il is ready to prepare for war, the territory of Billo will be fully involved in the real all-out war.

This is the result of Jonas and the others' discussions, for this, Jonas is naturally not satisfied, for the two aunts, Jonas since he saw the two of them in Sdarke's deathbed, maybe because of Jonas's affection for Sandra, anyway, since he saw the two of them bullying Sandra at that time, Jonas didn't have a good impression of these two relatives, and even when he first received this information, he was quite happy when he imagined Filia and Fernando and their husbands jumping in a hurry。

But Jonas also knew that if he wanted his troops to preserve their strength, not to lose manpower in these senseless battles, but to use these brave soldiers where they should be used, only this method could allow Billo not to be involved in the war for the time being, but to watch the changes on the field as an outsider, so although Jonas was dissatisfied, he finally agreed to this plan, and asked Doron to find an opportunity to tell his aunts and sisters in the Northern Alliance, and told him to write a very sensational, affectionate text for Doron to take, in order to persuade Aunt Philia to accept his support。

As for whether Aunt Filia would see through her plan and be unwilling to cooperate with her, Jonas naturally thought of this, he never underestimated any opponent, and he was not conceited that everyone would be at the mercy of his own group, he did not dare to be so arrogant, in his guess, either Philia and Fernando would guess the reason for their actions at the first time when they received this letter from him.

As aristocrats, Philia and Fernando are still literate, and they can naturally see through Jonas's-stirring stick at a glance, which Jonas understands, but he also understands that Philia will eventually choose to cooperate with him and let himself support her husband's army with weapons, even if it is an agreement that is slowly dragging him down.

The reason is also very simple, that is, because his enemies will not stop attacking and capture Canberra and Kadeer, it can be said that Nomenkan is like a treasure that no one guards, and no one can withstand the temptation of making a fortune, especially the Genoya merchant family behind these southern nobles, who have spent a huge amount of money to arm these troops in order to be able to obtain more wealth and not give up halfway, which is definitely a shame for the merchants.

Coupled with the death of the nobles and the sacrifice of the soldiers, the burst of these extreme emotions will undoubtedly become a strong combat motivation under the inducement of money and fame, so that everyone in every army wants to obtain a wealth sufficient for a lifetime like a fanatic, even the nobles are no exception, so even if the nobles in Filia do not want to agree, but the reality will force them to agree.

Greedy desire is like a room that attracts people's attention, you are in the house, three sides are black walls, only one side is transparent, you can see the outside scenery, you look at these scenes, elegant and beautiful, noble and beautiful, like a fairyland on earth, you begin to be unwilling to continue to stay in this monotonous room with only black, choose to walk out of this house, and when you walk out of the room, you find that the three sides are covered, but the terrible devil is waiting for you to come out of the safe house.

The same is true of these soldiers, who now have only money, beautiful women, beautiful houses, and countless lands before their eyes that will give them endless riches, and beyond that, they cannot see death, sickness, and decay beyond the three walls, and only when they go out of the house will they find that what they are seeking at this moment is only one side of what they see.

Jonas was moved to this point, what the army commanded by the merchant could do was naturally to maximize profits, and in a group of troops composed of people, slaughter was undoubtedly the easiest way to make profits, which was the perspective of Jonas at the moment of the Southern Alliance.

In the face of such an enemy, Philia will inevitably agree to his own agreement to consume the strength of the Southern Alliance for himself, which is like drinking to quench his thirst, even if he knows that Jonas's support is poison, but he is defeated by Jonas, he is just imprisoned, and the territory will not be confiscated, at least from the example of Monferrato, but to be defeated by the Southern Alliance, what will these people who have fallen into fanaticism do, the nobles of the north dare not think about it.

This is Jonas's plan, and the feasibility of it is undoubtedly very high in his opinion, and the only thing that Doron needs to do when implementing it is not to let the Southern Alliance know that he is funding his opponent, after all, no one knows if Philia will defeat the Southern Alliance again with his own funding?

After the plan was discussed, Jonas immediately wrote another letter for the messenger to bring to Fort Eagle and handed it to Kadir, asking him to fully cooperate with Doron's actions, making sure that no one else found out what they were doing now, and after the transaction was completed, it also provided a lot of ways to solve the worries about the destruction of evidence, such as asking Kadir to engrave the crest of Philia's husband's family on the weapon, instead of using the exclusive badge of Fort Eagle to supply it to the outside world, and sending different people to each transport, etc., to strive for perfection to the greatest extent。

The steps to implement the plan were distributed one by one, and Jonas finally completed his work, looking at the gradually dimming sky and the sparsely populated square outside the window, his heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy, the war had not really come to his own land, and the atmosphere was already so solemn, Jonas didn't dare to think about what the scene would be on the day the war really came.

"I'm really thinking too much, take care of yourself first, Jonas, don't lose your life" Thinking of this, Jonas couldn't help but laugh at himself and said, when did he have so much confidence to help others stay away from death, if it was the other way around, wouldn't he be causing them unease?

It was an irony, and Jonas pouted and mocked his fake kindness.

Saluzzo, the country residence of the Counts of Il.

At this moment, the Earl's Mansion is different from the past, quiet and comfortable, built between the mountains and rivers, built in the middle of the mountain, the Earl's Mansion can be said to be extremely artificial, it is a good place to recuperate, even if you work inside, looking at the wide garden square outside and breathing in the fresh air, it will make people feel that work has become no longer as difficult as usual.

But now it is a little different, at the foot of this private house of Il, looking at it, boundless tents are filled on both sides of the river under this hill, and there is no end in sight, these tents are of different colors, and the badges marked on them are also different, some are family emblems, some are family emblems, and there are city emblems, which are not the same, obviously not the army of one force, outside the tents are countless people are boiling water and starting fires, people come and go, under a rough estimate, there are at least more than 10,000 people.

Such a large army, its master is self-evidently the Earl of Il himself, who lives in the mountains.

Earl Il stood on the balcony on the second floor of the mansion, holding a crystal cup in his hand, which was poured with the wine made by the Billo family, Earl took a sip, where he was standing now, he could see very clearly the people who were busy at the foot of the mountain, like ants, small and terrible.

Just now, he had already given the order to go, and the time was tomorrow morning, the place of departure, Billo.

There was a sound of footsteps, and a familiar figure appeared behind Il, it was Viscount Zigar, looking at the motionless Ilr in front, Zigar moved forward for a distance, and when he was less than half a meter away from Yir, Zigar automatically stopped his steps and asked Il, who was standing in front:

"Is there anything I need to do, Lord Earl?"

"Your Excellency Viscount Dhigar, how is my army prepared?" Il had already known that someone was coming since Dzigar stepped into the balcony, but looking at the wine in the crystal glass, Il was a little reluctant to put down the wine glass, Billo's wine was really a little different, and when Dzigar finished speaking, Il drank all the wine in the cup, and then said to Dhigar beside him.

"It's all assembled, my lord, the total army has reached twelve thousand, my lord, this will be an army like never before. “

Dhigar's gesture was full of humility, but his tone was one of pride, even conceit, an army of twelve thousand men, which Dzigar had never imagined before, and now that it was under the control of the Count in front of him, it was incredible.

Il's expression of surprise was not on this, this was something he had expected for a long time, and Jonas's letters had gone from one every five days to one every two days, so you can imagine how tense the situation in Piedmont was at the moment.

At this time, the rebellion of Monferratto still came and went, and these local nobles had always adopted a disobedient attitude towards their rule, which made Ilr feel the difficulty of rule, but now Jonas's letter was like a reminder that Il's troops could be sent here to help him, and Il's naturally needed to find a way to do it.

Moreover, occupying Piedmont and unifying Susa has always been Il's dream, and it is also his own order to let Jonas do it, and now, the opportunity is close at hand, Il's naturally can't give up, even if the situation in Monferrato is still unstable, Il's will definitely not waste this rare opportunity, but Il's is not a fool, he will let himself attack Piedmont without absolute certainty, and give up Montferrato that has already been obtained, so Il's came up with a solution, that is, let these Montferrato nobles take their army with him to Bierro。

There will be several advantages to doing this, the first is to take these people's armies and forces away from Monferrato, then the remaining small rebellions are naturally not to be feared, the second is that most of the soldiers of these nobles are newly recruited soldiers, without half a point of combat experience, which can be used as cannon fodder, and although the remaining soldiers are veterans, it is difficult to ensure that none of these veterans are stained with the blood of Saluzo's soldiers, and the sacrifice in this battle will undoubtedly make the people of Saluzo support themselves more, these two points are undoubtedly beneficial to Yir, so there will be so many people outside the mansion, about forty percent of them, all of whom are from Montferrato.

"How many days can our food last?" Ill then asked the question he wanted to know the most, and the biggest trouble his plan had caused him, that is, the lack of food.

An army of 12,000 men, even excluding the horses, has to eat an astonishing amount of food in a day, and now that the autumn harvest is not harvested, the grain is the least time of the year, and it is really enough to fight a battle in this season, and to mobilize such a large number of manpower.

"My lord, in about 7 days or so, our food will be exhausted, but according to Viscount Jonas's letter, if their food is fully supplied to our army, then we can still support about 2 days, and in about 15 days, Piedmont's grain will be harvested, and then with the damage of our army and the reduction of food loss, we should be able to safely transition to the new grain stage. “

Zigar spoke very carefully, apparently afraid that his words would interrupt Il's plan of marching, and after stating the figure of seven days, he immediately added his speculation and the future situation to reassure Il that he did not need to worry too much about food. (To be continued.) )
