Whispering softly, he withdrew his gaze. say

"Your Majesty, you...... Are you going to attack that city?"

A glass of wine that was just the right amount of ice was handed to him, and the girl standing beside him asked softly.

"I'm not interested in touching that place. The young king smiled, he did not drink the wine, but shook the silver cup slightly, squinting slightly, as if enjoying the mellowness of the wine: "There are too many troubles in that city, and it is too terrible...... Fortunately, without Edward to unify, he can't exert much power for the time being. But with a little bit of external force, it can swallow most of the idiots to the point that there is not even a little scum left, right?"

After a pause, he shook his head and said, "This kind of stupid thing is just right for the Imperial people to do. When they drain some of the power of Burgundy, they will naturally consider my conditions. ”

"I'm just worried that that Alevelde won't be fooled. There are also many people with good ability around him, will they have doubts about this matter? Attacking a city guarded by a ** division is dangerous. The maid said. It's just that from beginning to end, even when she speaks, she keeps her head down.

"He's not an idiot, but Burgundy is too important to him right now. The young king sneered, "The middle of the empire has never been the main source of iron ore, and the other side of the capital circle is not something he can reach now. Burgundy's iron armor had become his scarcest resource. So if he wants to play against us, a city that can produce armor and weapons in large quantities, it is too important for him. Not to mention. The iron armor produced in Burgundy is by far the best in the world. And another reason is that he knows that the city of Burgundy is taken care of by Marilyn. But that ** division is not there now, and he has three new '** divisions' in his hands. ”

"Of course. The newly promoted **division is also a **division. He must have wanted to create the established facts, and then talk to Marilyn ** about the conditions. Little did he know, however, that Burgundy also had a high priest, a Juggernaut, and a lich. Those more than two hundred artillery pieces alone, as long as they were properly handled, were enough to crush their traditional army. ”

The young king let out a hehehe sneer: "Message." Information, in the midst of war, a friend of mine once said that information is a condition of reciprocity with strength. It is even more able to determine the outcome of a war than the strength of the army, the strength of the country, and the logistical support, and the competition for information is a war far away from the battlefield and without gunpowder and blood. ”

"So, as long as you have the information, the war will definitely be possible?"

"There is no guarantee that a war will be won. Because in the midst of it, everyone can be the key to changing the outcome, and even God cannot fully grasp everyone's subtle thoughts. , which is no longer something that can be done by the human mind. Taking a sip of the cold syrup of the glass, the young king said:

"Still. There are countless conditions that determine the outcome of a war, but if you can see the whole picture. Then it can be seen that wars are often before they start. The outcome has already been decided, and unless there are unforeseen special circumstances, there is very little deviation in the outcome. ”

"That's what your friend said, right?"

The young king was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "That's right, he said it, you know? He used to tell me a lot of these things, I never cared about it at that time, but then I had the opportunity to practice, I realized that what he said was actually reasonable, but when he told me this, he was actually only ** years old, can you believe it?"

The girl smiled silently.

Because she had heard it many times, but it seemed hard to believe that a man could know so much at such a young age.

"So, when you decided to attack the Empire, did you know you had won?" she asked, after a moment of silence.

"No, all the strength, I'm actually almost sure to lose...... The reason why I won was because there were many unexpected changes on the side of the empire, such as the fall of the ** division, the appearance of those imperial electors, and the death of that king, His Majesty. ”

"I've heard that His Majesty is still alive. ”

"A king, if he cannot control his courtiers, then he is equal to death. ”

The young king drank the wine from his cup carelessly: and then reached out and took out a crystal.

The lustre swam in the crystal, and finally sketched a layer of images, which were fiery red flags, fluttering in the air, and the picture immediately zoomed out, revealing a group of marching human cavalry under the banners, with dark red armor with golden edges sparkling in the sunlight, like a flash of fire, but unlike ordinary knights, their horses did not have spears, nor heavy eagle shields, nor even weapons were unified knightly swords, which were mixed with axes, war hammers and even scimitars.

Only the fiery runes on the banner explained their identity.

……

The flag fluttered lightly in the wind with the pace of the horses, and the red flag was like a flame jumping, and the golden rune was the core of the flame.

Sukhoi Filro Ferdinand narrowed his eyes slightly, and the color of the flame reflected in the pupils of his eyes, but the faint sky around him seemed to him a little heavy and a little empty.

The weather was sunny.

A dull color, derived from a layer of mist created by magic. Sukhoi knew it was a form of illusion - it was huge, but it was really just a trick to make the surrounding trees look denser and muffle some of the sounds, so that it would be difficult to see the array of troops hidden by the magic from a distance of a hundred feet.

However, such a simple illusion would create a ripple-like distortion in the line of sight, so the army could not even advance on the leveled road, but could only choose the wasteland that was barely cleared on both sides of the road, fortunately, it was the end of summer, and it had not rained in the recent period, and the wasteland on both sides of the road was not very difficult.

The Scarlet Knight's gaze crossed the front of the military formation and landed on a simple carriage, where the layers of mist spread outward. It's just that the two horses dragging the car only keep trotting, turning the follower's forward path into a slow slow pace

Can't it be any faster?

Casting this spell also requires full concentration. This is already the fastest degree we can achieve.

Sukhoi pursed his lips, not uttering the question—for he could have guessed. What kind of answer will you get?

"The scout's return, nothing anomalous. ”

The voice from behind the side made Sukhoi turn his gaze and nod slightly to his deputy, the female knight, and then as expected, he heard her complain: "My Grand Master, you should know that their scouts have no possibility of running so far and doing such a boring illusion. What's the use? Fifty miles away, a charge has already passed, how useful can they be if they want to defend?"

Sukhoi smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Yes, they had at least a hundred powerful mages, and of course it was impossible for such a rudimentary illusion to have any meaningful effect on them - however, this was only a prelude to the plan, as long as their response time was kept to a minimum. That's enough.

Unfortunately, the role is actually very limited.

In order to save the consumption of spell slots, this illusion is jointly cast by some mages with low ability, and naturally they can't make too many requirements...... Of course, this level of action also ensures minimal loss of manpower and horsepower. It's just that the long time and tense atmosphere have a big impact on morale.

"Of course it doesn't make sense...... The nerds around him who eat empty salaries never go to the battlefield at all, relying on cranky plans. And how can it make sense?"

A charming and melodious voice took over, only to make Sukhoi's brow furrow slightly. He looked at the white-robed woman who was riding a white horse and slowly approaching. Invisibly, he tugged on his reins, allowing the mount to move a distance of the horse's body. But the voice followed him like a shadow, and clearly penetrated his ears word by word: "Alas...... When I think about it, I feel annoyed, we have to fight that monster again, and we take the initiative to find trouble with him!"

"Don't you often say you want to get revenge?"

"Revenge is a noble thing, don't you compare it to those brainless killings?"

In response to the question of the deputy head of the Scarlet Knights, the withered white phoenix's legion leader snorted without manners: "Being able to kill the enemy is the foundation of revenge, but with such a small number of our men, if we want to face that monster, we want to die...... You don't know it, that guy just has a big ship flying in the sky, and once he attacks, even the dragons are no match for it! How do you think the Empire's Tower of Thunder fell? That was completely destroyed in the attack of that ship!Ah, think about it, I'm really crazy, how can I always mess with this monster? Obviously, I managed to escape last time......

"Isn't he dead? The ship has also left this plane with the ** division, this is already a well-known thing, we are just going to attack a city. "For the endless complaints of the regimental commander, the female knight named Nicole has long been impatient, if it were not for the other party's noble status, she might have cut it off for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army, and at the worst she would have to duel with her.

Moreover, that kind of complaint is like a hook, pulling out her experience of playing against 'that person' from the bottom of her heart again and again, and then bringing out some subtle wounds that leave blood by the way

"Is it so easy for him to say that he is dead when he is dead? What's more, the ship is gone, not destroyed, who knows if it will suddenly appear with that ** master's 'whoosh'?

"Reversion spells can only be limited to one person. ”

"Hah, ha, naïve, naïve!"

……

Sukhoi was silent.

It was obviously pointless to discuss magic with Miss Warlock as a knight, but Sukhoi didn't stop his companion - it would be nice to be able to keep Miss Warlock in one place, at least not to listen to her 'doomed' remarks.

It's just that how much power the withered White Phoenix Legion can wield in battle this time is really a matter of concern.

The withered white phoenix, an army that relies on the power of the undead to fight. Possesses great magic and assault abilities in the Elector's Legion...... However, in the opinion of the Marquis of Sukhoi, their regimental commander. The sorceress's personality has greatly diminished the strength of this legion...... She is simply an opportunist, and she has never had zài for the country in her heart. Loyalty to His Majesty the King appears here only out of the habit of following the actions of the strongest. Now, the new empire's Prince Alex Velde still gathers the most powerful army and the most extensive territory on the side of the empire, and is most likely to succeed among the many princes, but if the new empire declines, she will inevitably betray immediately and show no mercy. The question of maintaining the legitimacy of imperial blood will never be considered.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that after the last battle, she had some disagreements with the leader of the Thunder Red Dragon, and she might still be in the capital circle now.

However, it is undeniable what she said. There is a certain amount of truth to this.

Burgundy, the city that fell from the sky, was originally quiet,

Gradually, however, the city has shown a power that is impossible to ignore.

In a little over a year, they had taken in more than 50,000 subjects of the Empire, which was not a lot, but for a small city. It was a whale swallow - the walls of the city were expanded twice, seemingly overnight, and if you extrapolated at this level, it was only a matter of willingness to double or even triple the population.

And once the population expands. This will inevitably be followed by an increase in troops.

If it is just an ordinary city-state, there is no need to worry about such a problem, because soldiers need more than just population. Training is also needed, weapons are needed. You need armor, food, and so on. However, Burgundy, the city soon proved to be. She's not your average city-state.

After the arms trade began, they supplied the new empire with more than 10,000 sets of elaborate busts, the same number of helmets, one-handed swords, and spears in just one month!

This completely upsets the balance.

Although this armor is called 'half-body armor' by the manufacturer, in Sukhoi's opinion, its protective ability is almost the same as some ordinary full-body armor, but it does not use some complex armor to connect and wrap the elbows, knees and ankles, but the weight of this armor is about one-third lighter than ordinary full-body armor, so it can be lined with a set of chain mail to obtain complete protection.

Although the weight has been reduced, but the protective ability of the full-coverage shell-like armor will never be inferior to an ordinary full-body armor, Sukhoi has carefully observed, and knows that the secret lies in the folding of a layer of radial lines on the armor, which increases the protective ability of the metal by at least nearly half, although there is no magic protection, but the thrust of the ordinary long sword is almost completely useless for this kind of carapace, even the big axe must use all his strength to cut through the layer of iron that is only a quarter of an inch thick mixed with some pure gold, you can imagine how considerable such armor is for an ordinary soldier's combat effectiveness。

Of course, for a knight like Sukhoi, what really shocked him was not the elaborate style of the armor, but the armor, whether it was the skirt, the deck, the handguards, the helmet, each of which was exactly the same, and when placed together in the observation room, you could notice that they were almost identical, so that the array of soldiers who wore them in formation was imbued with a special deterrent when they moved, which was breathtaking;

And their price is unbelievably cheap.

In the beginning, a set of armor could be exchanged for 10,000 pounds of flour, and then it gradually declined over time, and in the latest batch of exchanges, it was even reduced to just about 300 pounds of grain can be exchanged for such a pair of armor - even if food in times of war is indeed a valuable resource, but it is not comparable to a set of armor that is really worth a thousand gold!

Even iron ore is not so cheap!

However, this cheapness has brought the new empire no longer the excitement of being able to improve its armament, but more of a vague fear.

It is certainly a friendly proof and a need to be able to obtain weapons of war sold on such a large scale, but from another point of view, it is not a danger?

With such a city at his side, no ruler can sleep peacefully.

Even more troublesome is its relationship with Tuminis.

Although I don't know if it is the rumored 'Floating City Experiment Failure' that allowed such a city to fall in the heart of a distant empire, but the reason is meaningless, the key is that it is Burgundy, a city belonging to Tumenis, and it is also a city with a ** division and a mage tower......

A large teleportation circle for Tumenis to use, and that's a big enough problem for Prince Alevelde to go crazy (to be continued!).
