Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

2nd day, in the Lord’s Hall.

Most of the nobles of the Vallandia Kingdom gathered together to discuss the next strategic deployment under the arrangement of King Deterre.

“The emperor Gallius of the empires evacuated to Fort Vijon with the ruined troops. They no longer have the power to stop our attack. Now we have two directions of attack, and it’s my son Alari. Let me explain to everyone.”

King Deterre sat on the main seat of the hall and said to the nobles below.

After he finished speaking, Prince Alari on the left took the conversation and said: “First, we can take advantage of the victory and pursue, attack the Fort Vijon, and annihilate Gallius and his routs in one fell swoop!”

“Second, ignore Gallius, go south to attack Galonto, and then place the surrounding areas of Ortisia under the control of the kingdom. Of course, if we choose to go south, we must divide our forces. Stay at Fort Serektor to prevent Gallius and his army from returning in a swirl of dust.”

After Alari finished speaking, the nobles began to whisper and discuss the two offensive routes with each other. The pros and cons of, it is obvious that the number of nobles who tend to go south is the majority. Compared with the annihilation of Gallius, they are more jealous of the rich and prosperous Orticia surrounding areas.

The same is true for King Deter. He has long passed the age when he regards glory as the most important. Now the main force of the Western Empire has been defeated, and their western border defenses are empty, and the Ortyzia region seems to be within easy reach. Who would be willing to give up this temptation?

Furthermore, in his opinion, instead of humiliating Gallius alive, it would be better to occupy a few more cities to make Gallius more painful.

Richard and Altamond, who were in the crowd, stood together. After Altamond followed Richard and captured Serektor Castle, he received strong praise from his father Ingatel. And privately instructed him to spend more time with Richard in order to win Richard’s trust and friendship.

Therefore, Altamond has been standing beside Richard after the meeting, which aroused the jealousy of other young nobles-they also wanted to get closer to Richard, but Altamond Standing by, they couldn’t pull their faces and leaned forward.

After listening to Alari’s story, Altamund touched Richard with his elbow and asked him: “Richard, where do you think the best target for attack is currently?”

Richard glanced at him, thought about it, and then said: “If I were the marshal, I would be more inclined to besiege Vijonburg.”

“Why?” Altamund To his surprise, he thought that Richard would choose to go south like most nobles.

Richard chuckled slightly. He looked around and saw that no one was looking here. Then he asked in a low voice: “Altamund, do you think the empires will watch us Did Tisia fall?”

“That will definitely not happen.” Altamund didn’t even think about it, replied, but he said strangely: “However, the main force of the empire has been annihilated by us in Saskatchewan. Outside of Gothic City, even if they are not reconciled, they can’t stop us.”

“No, you underestimated the potential of the Western Empire.” Richard shook his head and said: “There must be another one in the Western Empire. With the power of war, Gallius withdrew to Fort Vijon to wait for reinforcements and used his home court advantage to repel the Valandia troops from afar, just like what we have done before.”

“Do you know the number of imperial nobles captured in the Battle of Sargod?” Richard said again, “I went to inquire yesterday, except for Klotor of Bad Luck and a few nobles, all the others escaped. As long as their nobles are still there, they can still raise an army against us.”

“The leader of all this is Gallius. As long as we capture their emperor alive, the Western Empire will surrender. There is no other choice.”

Altamond was persuaded by him. He scratched his head and said helplessly: “However, the nobles have chosen to go south, and we can’t disobey the order.”

“This is exactly what I am worried about.” Richard sighed, “I am just a leader that’s all who has just made allegiance to the king. I don’t have enough political influence. I just hope that not everyone will be Orti. The temptation of West Asia fascinated his eyes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ingatel standing up in the crowd and said to the king on the throne.

“Your Majesty, I think we should first capture Gallius alive, and then target the Ortisia area.”

“Oh? Why?” Seeing someone put forward a different opinion, Brows slightly wrinkle, Thiel quickly stretched out and asked.

“Although the main force of the empire was wiped out by us in Sargod, they still have the ability to summon an army to counter us, so I think we should capture Gallius first as a bargaining chip. Then we will attack south again. As long as we capture Gallius alive, we may be able to take the Ortisia area without any military effort.”

Because of Catal’s words, some nobles were nodded again and again, thinking he said It makes sense. There are indeed many advantages to catching Gallius alive, and King Deterre also thinks his suggestion is good.

But at this moment, Alari on the side spoke in opposition and said, “Royal Father, the original defenders of the Fort Vijon were quite a few. Now with the addition of Garrios’ army, this is undoubtedly greatly increased. Given the difficulty of the siege of Vijon Castle, the strong attack is definitely not enough. Should we learn from Richard and use that kind of despicable strategy?”

“???”

You object I objected to it. Why did it involve me?

Richard who was suddenly cueed had a black line. For some reason, he felt that Alari seemed to be hostile to him inexplicably.

Alari is still going on, “Moreover, as Mr. Ingatel said, the empire still has the ability to counterattack. If we fail to attack Vijón for a long time, wait for the reinforcements of the empire to come, We also lost the opportunity to occupy Ortisia.”

“Then His Highness the Prince, the defending force in the Ortisia region is not weak. You can guarantee that the army can rush to the empire. Did the people take all of the place before they counterattacked?” Ingatel asked rhetorically not to be outdone.

“I believe in the battle strength of the kingdom warriors.” Alari did not answer directly.

“If…”

Ingatel wanted to say more, but he was interrupted by Detel who was the main player when he spoke, and the king was afraid that they would quarrel. , Said: “Ingatel, I understand your concerns, but Vijon Castle is not so easy to overcome. Not equal to me, let the nobles show their hands to vote and see what your wishes are?” p>

King Deterre has always been like this. He will not make a decision lightly when he is cautious. Ingatel can only helplessly shut his mouth and accept the king’s suggestion.

So, the king began to let the nobles in the hall show their hands to vote. Finally, due to the subtle gap, the king chose to lead his army southward to attack Fort Garonthor and Ortisia.
