Chapter 67: The Battle for Supremacy

"It's been a long time, Princess Diana, I don't know what you're trying to do when you're here alone this time."

Evan walked to the hall and immediately saw Diana sitting in a chair, who looked tired and looked tired, and seemed to have not rested much all the way, and came directly here.

When Diana saw Evan coming, she immediately stood up. Now that the battle situation is very anxious, no matter what kind of support she can't miss, even if she knows that there is little hope, she still decides to give it a try.

"Long time no see, Baron Aven, congratulations on becoming a baron......

Evan interrupted Diana with a wave of his hand, he was so tired of this ineffective social interaction that he didn't know where to focus for a long time.

"Okay, now that you've got time to say that, you might as well just say what's going on and what you want me to do here. We might as well be more direct and have fewer meaningless conversations."

Aivan's words obviously fit Diana's anxious mood very well, and she answered straight to the point,

"Now that the war between Wessex and Mercia is on the verge of breaking out, we need the help of the Snapdragon Army."

Evan looked at Diana with some surprise, the Kingdom of Wessex was not only the winner of the last battle for supremacy in his memory, but also the kingdom that finally unified England. Both the army and the economy are the strongest existence among the countries, and now they need reinforcements to help?

"I'm sorry, I'm declining this request."

Evan unceremoniously rejected Diana, but out of courtesy, he explained why,

"Since the last war, there are not a few people left in the Snapdragon Army, and I haven't even completed the expansion, so naturally I can't support you."

"In that case, do you know if the Kingdom of Essex will agree to send troops to help?"

Seeing that it was impossible for the Snapdragon Army to support, Diana turned to test the attitude of the Essex Kingdom. If you can drag the Kingdom of Essex into the water, then there will be less pressure on your shoulders and your hopes of victory will be much greater.

"Not much, but you can try. It's just that the whole kingdom is still recovering, and it may not be willing to send troops, but if you go, His Majesty may agree. After all, you've helped the kingdom."

Aven's statement of playing the ball made Diana have no way at all, as a member of the Wessex royal family, she can't be abroad all the time, and there are still a bunch of things to deal with on the front line.

Seeing that there was little hope, Diana politely declined Aven's invitation to the banquet, stepped on her horse and prepared to return to the Kingdom of Wessex.

"I'll tell King Charles about your request, but I don't have much to say, so I can only try."

Before leaving, in order to appease Diana's emotions, Evan was afraid that she would talk nonsense when she returned, so he directly wrote a blank check. However, Diana apparently felt that there was little hope, and left in a hurry after saying goodbye. Evan looked at Diana's distant figure and turned back to the living room.

"Well, what do the Wessex people think?"

Count Morloll saw that Evan was back and immediately asked.

"It looks like the Wessex are starting to get out of the way in the battle with the Mercians, so they want us to fight, or at least I'll lead the Snapdragon Army to help them."

Ai Wen sat down and said with a somewhat unpleasant face.

"Isn't that a joke? The kingdom hasn't recovered yet, and your Snapdragon army hasn't been recruited and trained, so how can you go to a new war. They are only doing this to relieve themselves of the pressure, so that we can share a part of the enemy army and transfer their losses to us."

Delores said indignantly.

"Delores, don't be limited to these details, you have to see the bigger picture."

Morlor shook his head, Deloris was not wrong, but if the Wessex people were killed, then he would not be the next to be killed. When the time comes, all eyes will be on the enemy, and before the fight has begun, the morale will collapse.

"I feel that I have to fight, in a short time, I can't let the Wessex people fall completely, and I suspect that the Wessex people are looking for me for another reason than what Delores said."

Aiwen's words aroused the curiosity of everyone in the room, and there were other secrets that no one knew?

"I suspect that the Wessex people want to completely disrupt the world, and make the whole of England a complete battlefield."

Deloris and Alice were still a little confused. Count Morol was completely shocked, he knew the meaning behind this sentence too well.

"You mean the Wessexians are ready to start a battle for supremacy?"

"Quite possibly. If the current order is maintained, almost all the small countries will obey the Mercians, especially the East Angloria, Sussex and Kent kingdoms, and only if there is a war for hegemony, these small countries will start to consider whether they really want to fight the Wessex to the death, and there is another advantage, the Mercian may also be afraid of it, because after the battle for hegemony begins, everyone is an enemy."

Count Morol nodded and sighed,

"Once the battle for supremacy begins, it will be a frequent war, and all kinds of conspiracies and tricks will appear. And what do you think you can do to help the Wessex people now?"

"It would be foolish to go to war directly with the Mercians, so start with the small nations that are attached to the Mercians. In this way, we have a small loss, and we have gained land and people, and it is easy to say on the side of the Wessexes."

Count Morloll nodded, agreeing with Aven's suggestion. He smiled and said,

"You're a guy, I'm afraid you've already figured out a countermeasure, right?"

The corners of Aiwen's mouth also raised, and he replied unhurriedly,

"Yes, there is a way, but we also need to be well prepared, and more importantly, take advantage of the last time to stock up on all the resources we can find."

Count Morol immediately asked about the situation of the Snapdragon Army, and Evan had no choice but to say that he was looking for a suitable source of soldiers, and when the soldiers arrived, they would start training, and strive to complete their training before the battle for supremacy and enter the war.

However, no one dares to guarantee this matter, God knows how many days it will take for the soldiers to reach Laques, and with the time of training, it seems that it is even more distant.

"In this case, we will go to Essex City at once to find Your Majesty, tell him your thoughts completely, and then consider what to do next."

The Count of Morol was ready to set out at once.

"Father, you're leaving?"

Deloris was somewhat reluctant, her fiancé had just returned, and he was about to leave the territory in a few days, and she didn't know who the baron of Laques was.

"The next thing is very important, we need to go to the palace immediately. You just stay here, don't go anywhere, there will be wars often in the future, and you stay here, not only to reassure me, but also to reassure Aven."

Count Morloll said in an unquestioning tone.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon, and I'm not going to fight this time, don't worry. By the way, Alice will live here first, and you will take care of it for me, and I will only have this one sister."

Evan hugged Deloris tenderly, and after a few moments, he left the parlor with Count Morol without looking back.
