It was in this situation that the news of the Empire's war came, and it can be said that the roof leak happened to rain overnight. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although the Visigoths were not defenseless. However, compared to the preparation of the Russian Gothic Empire, they are still a lot worse -

In fact, on the side of Victoria, Willian still didn't tell the truth, showing all his hole cards.

Although he felt that with Victoria's own ingenuity, even if she would be deceived in a short time, she could figure it out after a long time. So far, though, Victoria has not reacted. This made William a little strange.

Could it be that Victoria's IQ has dropped recently because of marriage or something?

It's not impossible.

Elise and Charlumi are. Originally, both girls were quite smart. But lately, I always feel that they are getting more and more stupid. While most of his energy was still able to help William govern the country, some of his energy was lost elsewhere.

Probably the infection of those two dark elves.

Thinking of this, William felt a little unhappy.

Those two dark elves or something, at the beginning, were quite peaceful. But after a long time, the heart began to live again.

Although it is said that William is pressed above, they don't dare to do anything too much. But if you bite me, I bite you or something.

This made William a little unhappy and a little helpless.

These two, whether it is the female Su Dan of the dark elves or the female general, can be regarded as outstanding people. If you can sincerely help him govern the country, it will definitely play a good role.

The problem is that these two women are dark elves. It's a dark elf, a dark elf. A dark elf with a lot of ideas in the turn of his eyes. Now William can still suppress them, so that they don't have to turn on the palace fighting mode, which is already her ability.

"Well, this time, Victoria came. I don't know if there will be any other problems. When he thought about it, William felt a headache -

And then there was - the army of the Russian Gothic Empire was divided into five armies. Over the years, the empire's economic situation has continued to improve. Transport conditions are also improving.

A month before the start of the war, the first railway line into Austria had been fully opened. In addition to this, there are more than five military railways that have been laid temporarily. There is this range of transport. The Russian Gothic Empire was enough to mobilize a million troops.

"Of course, I don't need to mobilize a million troops. ”

Thinking of this, William smiled happily - a total of ten legions, more than 200,000 troops under the command of Freya, divided into three routes, from Austria, Bohemia, and the North Central Region to attack Frisia, Lotternia, and Franconia respectively. At the same time, the two armies landed on Jutland in the north and Lombardy in the south.

There are a total of five armies, with more than 300,000 troops. In previous wars, such a large army could have destroyed one, or even several countries, and even fought a major war that decided the ownership of the entire Old World. It's just that now, with the development of science and technology and the increase in human power, such wars are just "raids" and strikers.

Of course, even just a striker is already very bad. Even with such a forward force, it would be very difficult for the enemy to deal with it.

After two successive defeats, the fortunes of the Visigoths, or rather the consuls of Leopold, began to decline from prosperity to decline.

In just a few days, the Empire's five-way army bulldozed the entire Ostrogothic at an extremely fast speed. The Ostrogoths, who were exploited and oppressed under the rule of the Visigoths, rightfully cried and shouted to His Majesty the Emperor. and made William their savior. After all, this is the greatest ruler of this world, of this era, and the Ostrogothic Emperor, their rightful ruler, isn't it? Think about it, the Ostrogothic Empire has been a country for thousands of years. Such a long period of time, coupled with the modern theory of the nation-state, can certainly support the awakening of national consciousness.

This is especially true when external oppression is enormous. In addition, the revolutionaries were very kind to guillotine the original rulers and the original noble royal families. In this way, these territories can be rightfully pocketed by William, and there is no need to waste time with them or anything.

It can be said that the offensive of the army of the Russian Gothic Empire was simply devastating.

In the case of a large amount of food resources to help the victims, in the case of the unpopular foreign occupation forces. Of course, what is more important is that the army of the Russian Gothic Empire is far superior to the Visigoths, who have fallen in recent times, - having had enough of the occupation forces and tasted the prestige, the army deployed by the Leopold consuls on the Eastern Front has decayed and degenerated at a rapid rate.

In this case, they are not at all opponents of the Empire.

That's it. The situation has become very bad. And William's overall situation has also been formed - this is the world, since the collapse of the classical Gothic Empire, the first person to be the closest to greatness, to unity, to supremacy. This era belonged to Wilhelm von Hereford.

He was far from building a new Gothic empire, not called Russian Gothic, nor Ostrogothic. Rather, he was called the Gothic Emperor, and he was only one step away.

"It's just that this step must not be so easy to cross. William thought to himself. And as fast as possible, by train, towards the front.

Despite the fact that during such a long period of war, the people of the Ostrogothic Empire suffered heavy losses. But at present, there are still more than two million.

If you add the Lombards in the south, it is likely that the number will be more than five million.

These five million people live in extreme poverty under the pressure and exploitation of the Visigoths, almost indistinguishable from refugees.

In this case, if you want to help the victims, if you want to make them your own people, you need a large amount of material supplies. And before the autumn of that year, this series of investments will be in vain.

Even if the war were to recur and spread to these territories, the Russian Gothic Empire would be under even greater pressure.

This situation was also the result of William's insistence - since they were his own people, then as emperor had to take care of them.

Since it is said that to take care of them, then a lot of resources are needed.

This is accompanied by a huge war of conquest.

In this way, even with the financial resources of the Russian Gothic Empire, as well as the reserves of the Russian Gothic Empire for several years, it seems to be somewhat stretched.

In this way, the war could not be dragged on for too long - William had calculated that if he could not completely defeat the enemy in three months' time, the situation would be repeated.

And if the time is extended to six months, then the probability of his defeat will be more than fifty percent.

When it took him a year and there was no way to defeat the other side, then he had to find a way to end the war.

If not, then his country, his empire, is in danger of collapsing. Even if it doesn't collapse, it will decline. The economic recession caused by various problems will plague the empire for the next decade or more.

In this way, the empire will not have a chance to conquer Visigoths in a short time.

In the same way, the Visigoths had a very happy passage - although William believed that if such an event had indeed broken out, most of the Visigoths would have begun to break their bones and eat for the sake of the children by the time they could no longer support themselves.

In other words, this was the last calamity of the Visigoths. At the same time, it will be the last catastrophe for me to become the greatest Gothic emperor in a thousand years. ”

On the speeding train, watching the scenery flash out of the window, William's mood fluctuated.

Although he has seized a relatively best opportunity. But who knows what the end result will be.

During this time, the Visigoths had received news that the Empire had declared war and was waging war.

Despite the great resources they had invested, and the territorial defenses they had built up by their armies, they were easily broken by the Empire's vanguard forces.

These guys, who are still in the battle stage of the war, seem to have no idea what defense in depth is, nor do they know what a reserve force is.

But even so, they still have a powerful army under their command, which has grown up in the blood and fire of swords. And, like the Russian Gothic Empire, this is also a country with an unimaginably large number of soldiers.

To make matters worse, the Russian Gothic Empire was now fighting on the outer front. It is thousands of kilometers away from the capital of the Empire, the core of the Empire.

It is still very difficult to support the army with the western territory of the empire, the central and northern regions, and the Wende Kingdom. His enemy, on the other hand, is fighting on the inside front, and will have shorter supply lines, more human resources, and more popular support.

In this case, if they can play to the fighting power of the previous defeat of several anti-Visigothic coalitions in a row, then it will definitely be a disaster for William.

"In other words, you still have a chance. Yes, yes. On top of that, there's the group of Britons. What are they going to do?"

William continued to think.

After receiving the news of the Empire's intervention in this war, the Bretons must have been overjoyed.

But after the initial joy and excitement subsided, all they were left with was nervousness and ill-intentionedness.

In any case, they did not want to see the emergence of a new Gothic empire that unified the entire Old World. It doesn't matter whether the empire belongs to the Visigoths, or the Ostrogoths, or the Russian Goths.

Even, at worst, they adjusted their continental policy as quickly as possible, and even directly allied with the Visigoths against the Russian Gothic Empire.

If the situation does develop like that, then Willian's chances of winning will be further reduced......
