readx;? That's pretty much it, stripped of the unrealistic expectations and ideas of the Britons, what they want to see more realistic is still William's ability to drive the expedition himself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 If William could lead ten legions, or more, in a great battle not inferior to the Eastern Expedition, then the Bretons would be very happy and very happy to applaud him.

Because in that way, whether William is victorious or defeated, the pressure on the Bretons will drop a lot.

However, even if Wilhelm did not do so, Wilhelm still headed in the direction of Moscow. In the process, his empire was constantly adjusted, and the scum bureaucrats under his command, who were slightly shaped, but in fact still in a very rudimentary state, and the political parties, or political claimants, who were still at the club level, played like idiots.

Just sending his aunt, who didn't have a very good reputation, and only sending three legions to help, the power of the Russian Gothic Empire still made the Britons feel that they should be licked on their knees and applauded. At the same time, no matter how much the Russian Gothic Empire did this, they had to open those warehouses, and let these locust-like armies take all the reserves in the warehouses.

"Anyway, if we lose, these things will definitely be snatched by the Frisian mob and the Visigoths, it is better to cheapen them like this, at least we are allies......" Some of the Bretons thought bitterly.

"Rather than this, it is better to let the Visigoths come. "Of course, there are quite a few Bretons who think so.

All in all, if it weren't for the fact that the armies of the Russian Gothic Empire were really capable of fighting, and that their morale was really high -- at least in terms of their mental outlook, their weapons and equipment, and how they looked when they marched in the ranks -

If that's not the case, then the Bretons really don't want to serve these guys.

At least for now, Victoria, the commander of the Britons who were at the forefront, thought so.

The predecessor, the other queen of Britton, returned to Frisia after concluding negotiations with the Russian Gothic Empire, and then began to recruit troops to expand her strength while preparing for a defensive battle.

She worked hard to build fortifications in the lowlands of Frisia. A large number of strong fortresses were built through the high price of cement imported from the Russian Gothic Empire, as well as the high price of steel bar. Coupled with the sheer number of artillery and troops, she was confident that she could hold back the surging Visigothic army in Frisia.

If the strength of her army could be a little higher, if she could be a little more obedient, she bet she would be able to do it. It's just a pity. Although the hardware facilities are very good, Frisia's various fortifications, artillery, and stockpiled supplies are enough for her to fight a protracted, quagmire-like war. It's as if in those days, when Frisia was still an independent country, faced several times or even a dozen times more than a dozen times the war with the Britons and even the Asturians.

However, the situation is not as good as it was back then. Today's artillery is much more lethal than it was then, and the number of armies is much larger now than it was back then. In the past, a single fortress could hold off the enemy's entire force, but now, the enemy can use numerical superiority to outflank and detour in several ways.

In addition to this, there is the morale and expectations of the Frisian natives.

In the past, when Frisia was an independent country, in the face of the invasion of foreign powers, it was natural that the Frisians worked very hard, and expected to contribute their own strength for their own country. But now, although the Britons have ruled Frisia for some time, the Frisians still have no return.

This is mainly due to the methods of rule of the Britons. Although Frisia's economy is slightly better, it is not much worse than when it was independent, and the naval power known as the sea coachman is not much worse. In this case, the gap and dissatisfaction are also taken for granted. There were even some Britons who regarded Frisia as a colony for their needs, and Frisians as second-class citizens. In this case, quite a few people in Frisia even regarded the Visigoths as their liberators.

At that time, it may be better if the tide of the war is in favor of the Britons, but if the tide of war is not in favor of the Britons, then these Frisians will not hesitate to start a rebellion. When the time comes, there will definitely be no less party that will lead the way.

That is to say, internal and external troubles. The situation is really quite bad for the Bretons.

No, it should be said that it is terrible.

Perhaps, it is precisely because the current situation is so bad that Victoria, who has always been arrogant to the point of incomprehension, rarely said anything sarcastic after seeing William's aunt Freya again.

To be honest, this surprised Freya.

After arriving in Frisia by train, Freya's biggest concern was how to get along with Victoria.

To be sure, Freya also understands Victoria's importance, which is not just Victoria's status. It's even more because of things in secret.

She is Victoria's aunt.

At least by blood, yes. But at the same time, she was also counted by Victoria once. It was back then, at the time of the Indica War.

So, Freya has a lot of grudges against Victoria.

And as a very typical Old World nobleman, Freya identifies with her family far more than blood.

That is, although the two sides are close in blood relations. But because of the Victorian core members of other families. So in Freya's opinion, the two sides actually have nothing to do with each other, just very ordinary ordinary people.

"Of course, if ...... If that thing can be successful, it's a different story. Thinking of this, Freya's mood was a little tight.

The "one thing" she was thinking about was naturally the marriage contract between William and Victoria.

As a high-ranking member of the Russian Gothic Empire, and more importantly, as an important member of the Hereford family, Freya certainly knows what is going on, and of course she knows the "curse" and even "fate" that her family is carrying.

If you want to continue the family, you have to sacrifice something. For example, the festival or something.

However, even so, Freya still felt uncomfortable - this is not to say that Freya is very disciplined, and thinks that this kind of thing is unethical or something, and should be forbidden, in fact, for Freya, this kind of thing happens to be the least important thing for her. After all......

But why does such a good thing, I mean, fall on Victoria's head? and it is not for nothing that there is a better fit than her......

Thinking this in her heart, Freya has strong negative feelings about Victoria, the seemingly charming duchess, her blood niece. This negativity even surpassed the negative emotions she had when she was with Victoria's mother, Lady Maria. It's almost so strong that I want Victoria to die as soon as possible.

Of course, at least on the surface, Freya still maintains respect for Victoria and a minimum of courtesy. When discussing the next military operation with Victoria, he did not do anything impulsive or contrary to William's will because of the negative emotions in his heart.

In other words, if the time had been two hundred years ago, the war at that time would have been more convenient than it is now. ”

Victoria said this, with a little helplessness in her voice.

Freya agreed. Of course, while agreeing, there is also a bit of a feeling that what Victoria said is simply nonsense. Anyone who has read a little bit knows this.

In Frisia two hundred years ago, it was indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. That's because Frisia wasn't as well developed as it is now. A large number of polders were still swamps that were difficult for the army to navigate. In addition to this, there is also a lot of Black Forest and a lot of uninhabited wilderness because there is not a lot of human activity.

In this case, Frisia's predecessors worked very, very hard to build hundreds of small fortresses and fortresses in Frisia. These fortresses with modern bastion structures were very difficult to impreach, combined with the determination of the Frisians to resist the invasion.

All this makes Frisia one of the most famous mires of the Old World. In this way, a large number of foreign invaders were defeated in the face of the harsh natural conditions of Frisia and the population.

Today, two hundred years later, however, things are no longer the same.

The expansion of human activities has gradually reduced the former Black Forest. What was once a natural barrier has become a large amount of wood. Most of them became ships, fulfilling the name of the Frisian sea coachmen. A small part of it has become a variety of buildings.

In addition, the rivers that once overflowed began to become really calm after being treated. And the swamp has also become a polder.

This could have been the pride of the Frisians, after all, they solved their current problems with their industrious hands or something. And before that, neither Victoria nor anyone from the Bretons could have imagined that the Bretons would go so far as to turn Frisia into their last Promised Land.

Of course, even if you regret it now, it probably won't work. (To be continued.) )
