Chapter 995, Shall We Have Another One?

Chapter 994 Shall we have another one?

The next day, the Duchess of the Empire arrived with a large army from Nur, along with Talleyrand and Teresa.

After a brief handover, Veronica hurriedly left with Aurora, the Garland Witch Group headed by Teresa, a large number of magical girls, and a large amount of spoils.

Between the big camps, the army was frequently moved. After the new troops from the south of Brittania joined, the number of the Britannia army has swelled to more than 40,000.

Immediately afterwards, Nur's army arrived. Emmanuel, the Lady of the Empire, wore a set of black and gold gorgeous robes, silk and shirt breeches made of the best wood elf satin, a hundred Nur Iron Armored Army and a Hundreds of Blackstone guards were loyally guarding the side of the Countess.

The army slowly entered the city.

The high elf, the courtier of Ryan, and Talleyrand, the ambassador of the Kingdom of Knights to Nur, got off the carriage and frowned when he saw a large piece of ruins. The lame man immediately took out his handkerchief to cover his mouth, even though the ruins had been cleaned up one after another A lot, but the cripple can still see what a tragic war this place has experienced.

"Oh, maybe I shouldn't come here." Talleyrand took out a small perfume bottle and sprayed himself vigorously a few times before walking towards the camp on crutches: "But I still came, just like I came Just like the old world, I'm still here."

The high elves noticed that the Duchess of the Empire went directly into Ryan's big tent. Through the raised curtain, the core decision-makers of Brittania were sitting in the big tent. Talleyrand noticed that almost everyone was there, And after Countess Emmanuel and Generalissimo Erstein went in, the curtain was closed, and several Blackstone guards and old guards stopped outside, looking around with vigilant eyes: "Hey, it looks like I can't get in."

"But I will always be among them one day." Talleyrand continued to lean on crutches, thinking about something lamely, he became interested and wanted to see the situation around the camp.

The army was mixed with fish and dragons, and troops from all the kingdoms of the empire were there. On the Britannia side, there were the prophets of the lake god and the Holy Grail knights to maintain order, and it seemed a little quieter.

The supplies were pulled into the camp by carloads. The unicorn coat of arms belonging to François and the flag of the principality's pure white horse coat of arms were shining. Talleyrand walked to the gate of the old guard barracks. The group of soldiers Although he recognized this man, he still refused to let him enter the camp, but Talleyrand didn't care. He saw that Raymond was eating breakfast with several halberd sergeants and a small group of great swordsmen. Delicious buttered bread.

Not far from the gate of the Old Guard barracks, a group of Middenland swordsmen were arguing with a group of Ostland militiamen over the ownership of a batch of goods.

The Oster militia consisted of five or six children who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old and seven or eight elderly people over the age of forty-five. They were fighting with four people wearing standard provincial uniforms, wearing breastplates and helmets, The midden collar swordsmen quarreled with their shields and swords, and one of the children held a large bag in his arms, which should be sausages and hams from the southern part of the empire.

"Boy, take it out, you must know that you are making a contribution to the empire." The swordsman in Middenling tried to grab it fiercely: "What's the use of giving you good food? Do you think that Oster can rely on Are the old man and the child soldiers going to recover your fallen territory and drive away those chaotic mess? Take it here!"

"I got this first! It's mine!" The sixteen-year-old child still had fluff at the corner of his mouth, and he held on tightly to the grain and didn't let go.

"Bastard! Urik is on top!" The patience of the Middenling swordsmen was extremely poor, and the bald head with a long beard pushed the child to the ground, and then took away the bag of grain: Forcing Grandpa to do it, what a bastard!"

The four midden-led provincial swordsmen brutally took all the food supplies.

Raymond wanted to stand up in agitation, but Talleyrand stopped him: "My battalion commander! Please calm down! If I guessed correctly, the box of grain belonged to the Midden leader."

"Are you sure?" Raymond asked strangely: "The reason? Where did you see it?"

"I can be sure, but why should I tell you?" Talleyrand smiled straightly: "The matter is over, remember, my sir, this is not your business, it is mine, you'd better put your With a mentality of hatred and hatred, remember that they are imperialists and not Bretons, helping those boy scouts and old men will not bring you honor, but you will go to military court for using weapons indiscriminately! Hehehehe!"

After speaking, the high elf walked away easily on crutches.

"God's high elf." Raymond cursed angrily.

The high elf walked along the way, and he easily coordinated several disputes. However, Talleyrand's expression was not relaxed, but became more and more serious.

The empire is too big and there are too many provinces. Each province is proud of its own culture and national tradition. It is very normal to be hostile to each other. Conflicts are too easy to happen, but it is very difficult to understand and accept each other. .

Especially in Nur, Talleyrand deeply knew what the Nuer people thought of people from all over the empire. The Nuer people believed that there were only three types of people in the empire, namely the noble Nur natives, the imperial capital Bu Brunswick, and country folk.

The perception of these people is also very simple. A nation is not a nation, and a culture is not a culture. Why should we join forces with you to build a country?

Charlemagne saved the old world, maintained order and was crowned emperor, Arthur founded the country in the Twelve Wars and established the country in blood and fire, Ludwig saved the world and successfully turned the tide, even so, there are so many disputes and contradictions within the country, Ryan Do you really want to annex Kislev, a country with different cultures, different races and different beliefs? !

Talleyrand was thinking about everything frantically, that is, Knight King Ryan really planned to go north to attack the Kislev-occupied area? !

What is he trying to do? Did he really think that he could regain Kislev's borders, establish a vassal state with him, or even directly merge Kislev into Brittania?

Is it possible?

If the merger was so easy, the high-spirited Ulthuan would have merged into one country long ago!

The high-spirited cripple's brain was spinning crazily. He was thinking about whether he could help Ryan in this matter, and this was most likely the most important step for him to enter the core decision-making level!

"I don't have any plans, I don't have any plans... I still have to follow the most basic agreement of the old world and Mrs. Kisler's wishes to elect a new Kislev regime." Ryan smiled on his face but never Emilia said: "We respect Mrs. Keesler's own decision, but this new regime, if you have to ask me whether it is good or bad, then I will say that our knight kingdom is good."

"But Katarin..." The Duchess of the Empire had a half-smile on her face. She stretched out her small hands wrapped in long red lace gloves to support her chin, watching Ryan's performance.

"We always recognize that Katarin is Kislev's female czar." Ryan spread his hands towards Emilia: "We have established diplomatic relations and recognize each other, why don't we recognize her as the czar? "

"But if she proposes to return to her territory..." Emilia then asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Ehrengrad has always been an autonomous city." Ryan continued to explain: "At that time, we only need to launch a referendum, establish the Grand Duchy of Erengrad, and establish our own administrative system and army. We don't need to rule directly. It is enough that the city is under our protection. Even if she is a female tsar, she must respect the opinions of the people of Ehrengrad. The Romanov family has always been the ruler of Kislev. She must be clear. The opinions of the Duma Council of Lundlad and our garrison troops are also very important, and we will express our position when the time comes!"

Emilia stretched out a pair of straight long legs wrapped in breeches and boots, and the Duchess of the Empire couldn't help thinking about Ryan's proposal deep in her heart.

Needless to say, the strategic location and geographical value of Ehrengrad, which have been described in great detail above.

And this city is also of great economic value. Merchants from all over the world do business in Erengrad all year round. The gems and precious metals of the Norscan dwarves, the endless fur and whale oil from the north, and the horn of the narwhal , dragon birth incense and smoked fish, as well as a large number of rare treasures from the troll kingdom and Norsca gather here.

As long as the port can be controlled and rebuilt, the huge and lucrative profits will be enough to make the Queen of the Empire tempted.

And Ryan is right, it is better to have a barrier in the north of the empire to stop the terrible chaotic frenzy, otherwise Ostland and Ostermark will become new borders, and the current situation of these two provinces is no longer possible. Bad enough to describe it.

"I admit that what you said makes a lot of sense." Emilia yawned softly with her graceful and luxurious face, but the lady of the empire showed a lack of interest, which made Ryan feel a little bit Bad feeling.

Regardless of the fact that the Britannian army is now equipped with a lot of firearms, this is only for the Old Guards and artillery directly under Ryan. The dukes' respective principalities are still equipped with firearms. To enter the border of Kislev to fight, the Nuer army must carry a large number of firearms and equipment.

Of course, this is nothing. The most important thing is Nur’s economic support, which is very important. For a long-term military presence, relying on Nur for supplies will save more money than relying on the local area.

It seems that this little maid of mine has been monopolizing power for many years now, so it's hard to talk, right? Knight King Ryan looked at Emilia viciously, and his eyes circled back and forth on Emilia.

Emilia's face turned a little red when Ryan saw it like this. She rubbed her long legs subconsciously, and quickly changed her sitting position to a lady.

Everyone in the big tent also looked at Emilia, waiting for the Countess of the Empire to express her opinion.

Generalissimo Erstein of Nuer is also waiting for Emilia's opinion. To be fair, the Nuer military doesn't really want to continue marching northward with the Bretons, but it's not particularly opposed either. , at this time the Countess' opinion is crucial.

"But Ryan, have you considered that once we enter the Chaos Occupied Area, we will encounter big problems in logistical supplies, and even in March, Kislev is still very cold." Emilia opened the door gently. Her own court flower fan, the Duchess of the Empire gave a look of lack of energy and laziness: "If you want to go north and try to recover Ehrengrad, you must be prepared to face many difficulties, and according to the report from the rear According to the news, Kaiser Karl Franz may not provide sufficient supplies for your military operation to try to retake Ohrengrad."

Emilia's words immediately aroused the displeasure of the Britannia commanders in the tent.

"What? At this critical moment, the empire wants to cut off the supply?!"

"We came here following the spirit of chivalry, and the imperials treat us like this?"

"What does Karl Franz eat?!"

Everyone cursed angrily until Francois said: "Everyone, there is nothing wrong with the empire doing this, because the nature of the war has changed. We were fighting against chaos for the empire before. Of course the empire is willing to provide us with military supplies and military pay, but if If we actively try to attack and recover Ohlengrad, it will be very difficult for Emperor Karl Franz to persuade the Elector and his people to continue to provide us with supplies and military pay."

"It's a reduction, not a complete cessation of supply." Emilia added: "You also need to understand the empire. Now there are more than 100,000 troops on the northern front, plus a large number of Kislev refugees. How rich do you think Karl Franz's treasury is with the food supply of Oster, Ostermark, and Stillland? After several months of war, even if the emperor can allocate the empire's potential and materials Running to the extreme, it’s almost there.”

"So what about you? Emilia, are you willing to support our actions?" The appearance of his former little maid sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai made Ryan very unhappy but also very helpless. The King of Knights had to admit that Emily always had the initiative In Ya's hands, he had no choice but to speak formally: "Recovering Erengrad requires the help of you and your army, Emilia."

Sure enough, this is what Emilia wanted, and the blue eyes of the Queen of the Empire rolled around Ryan's body, and she became interested: "Oh? Then can I understand it this way, Ryan, you are talking to me Request?"

"I'm asking you, Emilia." Ryan said with a smile.

"Then I also have two requests." Emilia thought for a while, and put forward a new request in turn: "First, I will form the Supreme Command of the Allied Forces with you. I will lead the Nur Iron Armored Army and the Blackstone Guards, And my Regiment of Guards moves with you."

"Yes." Ryan nodded, this is a normal decision.

"Second." Emilia stretched out her second finger, and the Duchess of the Empire said with a smile: "When Erengrad is captured, you must allow me to enclose a block in the city, which belongs to our Nuer. And in the future, we must let Nur have an exclusive seat in the grand duchy or other organizations you may establish, and all guns and military supplies will be purchased from Nur first, and trade must give us Nur exclusive tax incentives, and the first year is completely tax-free. treatment."

"Yes." The King of Knights nodded again, neither of these two conditions were too much.

"Then, it's signed!"

"good!"

A brand new covenant was signed in the tent of the King of Knights. Knight King Ryan and Queen Emmanuel of the Empire signed the covenant respectively. This covenant is only a general intention, and the details after that will naturally be determined by Lawn and Nuer. The bureaucrats on the side went to discuss it in detail.

After everyone withdrew, only Ryan, Morgiana, and Emilia were left in the big tent.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the tent, Emilia's face gradually turned red. The Duchess of the Empire walked up to Ryan and stretched out three fingers: "Besides, there is a third condition, my man ~"

"The third condition???" Seeing Emilia's domineering look, Ryan had a bad premonition.

"Ryan, that... Let's have another one!"

"???"
