Roman Empire of Total War

People, they don’t understand each other at all, they misunderstand each other, but regard each other as a unique and close friend. They don’t understand each other’s true temperament in their lifetime, and when they let go, they cry and chant eulogy.

——Dazaiji (Japanese novelist and writer)

As for the White Horse Kingdom, since the news of their Governors of Galicia and Asturias sending the Dragon Dragoons into their provinces, they returned to the capital, King Alfonso of the Kingdom of White Horse The dignitaries fell into tension and panic.

The 400,000 White Horse troops deployed in Lusonghang Province and the border between Asturias and Dreshang Provinces are actually composed of half of the White Horse Kingdom's standing army and more than 100,000 newly recruited troops; in order to gather this A large army that threatens the Dragon Empire and has few standing troops has already evacuated all their garrisons in the eastern and central parts of the kingdom.

In other words, in the current White Horse Kingdom, apart from the 400,000 troops surrounded by the Dragon Empire on the front, they only have their 100,000 garrisons at the border of the Principality of Kassel and 100,000 garrisons at the border of the Principality of Feiyu. And the elite 50,000 royal families who guard the king capital; the full army is only 250,000 troops, and 200,000 of them are stationed in the border area far from the king capital.

The army of 250,000 infantry, against the army of 100,000 elite cavalry, such a military comparison makes the White Horse Kingdom can only passively defend and not dare to attack; but once the military strength of the two sides becomes 50,000 white horse elite infantry against Hundreds of thousands of dragons can ride, and the 50,000 elite infantry of the White Horse Kingdom can keep their king capital, it is an unknown.

The king of the White Horse Kingdom, Alfonso, did not know that Marshal Ronderstad had divided half of his cavalry and stayed in the rear of the six eastern provinces of their kingdom to control the rear. Under the capital.

Although it is not the first time for the White Horse Kingdom to have Wangdu under the command of the troops of the Dragon Empire, the first few times have to be traced back hundreds of years when the White Horse Kingdom was a vassal state of the Dragon Empire; since the White Horse Kingdom was separated from the support of the Holy See Since the Tianlong Empire took control, the White Horse Kingdom, which is in a completely independent state, has never been under the capital of any country's army.

Among the emperors of the Dragon Empire, there will never be a lack of grumpy and fierce emperors. The existence of these emperors determines that the army of the Dragon Dragon Empire will always inevitably do something that will remember the White Horse Kingdom when it comes under the capital of King White Horse King. thing.

There are these things that are remembered by the history of the White Horse Kingdom, plus this time, the White Horse Kingdom actively seeks to provoke the Tianlong Empire first. King Alfonso of the White Horse Kingdom and his heavy ministers, against the Dragon that has already entered the territory of their kingdom It is conceivable how fearful the army is; even, the heavy horse kingdom minister has proposed to beg for peace with the Tianlong Empire above the Chaotang.

King Alfonso, who was more conservative and less aggressive, did not mind sending special envoys to beg for the Tianlong Empire; but the point of the problem was that the special envoys sent from King Baima all the way to the emperor of the Tianlong Empire, even if they went on sleeplessly. It takes at least half a month to complete. For such a long time, the cavalry unit of the Dragon Empire has already arrived at the capital of the White Horse King.

On the premise that the king of one's own side is surrounded by the large army of the other party, negotiating a truce with the other party is tantamount to extending his neck and putting it under the blade of the other party to let the other party slaughter; King Alfonso no matter how aggressive, It is impossible to do such a thing.

The princes of the Kingdom of White Horse wanted to end the war in a decent way, but did not have the strength to block the attack of the Tianlong Army, so they could only pin their hopes on the Holy See who had come forward to form the three-nation coalition; King Alfonso gave the order On the same day that the North Garrison and the West Garrison returned to the capital, they came to the cathedral in their capital.

Even though the Cardinal in charge of the Holy See in the Kingdom of White Horse is not in rapport with the Archbishop Innocent in charge of the Holy See in the Dragon Empire, the two Cardinals are still very consistent in the fundamental principle of maintaining the interests of the Holy See of.

Before the Dragon Empire sent troops to the White Horse Kingdom, Bai Feng had personally come forward on the matter and reached an agreement with Archbishop Innocent, who was in charge of the Holy See in the Dragon Empire, so Archbishop Aguilar, who was in charge of the Holy See in the White Horse Kingdom, saw Alfonso After King Suo did not immediately respond to the request made by the party, he applied to the Holy See headquarters on this matter.

What role should the Holy See play in the war between the Dragon Empire and the White Horse Kingdom? This is a major matter that only the Pope and Cardinals of the Holy See headquarters can decide; whether it is the Archbishop Innocent who is responsible for the Holy See in the Dragon Empire or the Archbishop Aguilar of the Holy See in the White Horse Kingdom, they all have the right to make suggestions but not to decide.

Compared with the limited compromises made by the Tianlong Empire, the worse situation of the White Horse Kingdom is undoubtedly a better target for interest; but the importance of the Tianlong Empire is far from comparable to the White Horse Kingdom, so that the decision-making level of the Holy See It will inevitably become hesitant.

The Holy See, who had a very tense relationship with Bai Feng because of participating in the battle for the throne, wanted to continue to expand its influence in the White Horse Kingdom, and did not want to affect its just-relaxed relationship with the Tianlong Empire; they wanted to maximize their own interests. Only four consecutive cardinal meetings were held before the final decision was made: to help the White Horse Kingdom once with limited efforts.

After receiving the order from the headquarters of the Holy See, Archbishop Aguilar quickly approached King Alfonso and told the other party the demands and promises made by the Holy See. The enthusiasm cooled down instantly.

In the view of King Alfonso, some of the series of requests made by the Holy See are actually equivalent to drinking poison to quench thirst for the White Horse Kingdom. Once agreed, some powers belonging to the royal family and nobles will be transferred to In the hands of the Holy See; as time goes on, the Kingdom of White Horse will not necessarily follow the Principality of Kassel and Feiyu and become a vassal of the Holy See.

It was difficult for King Alfonso to decide whether to drink the poisonous wine from the Holy See or to stretch out his neck and slaughter the Heavenly Dragon Empire. Under desperation, he could only call his own minister and Representatives of the noble class of the Kingdom discussed with them.

Most of the heavy ministers and noble representatives of the White Horse Kingdom believe that they should accept the request of the Holy See. The reason is that they are more difficult to accept than the modest Holy See. After the meeting of King Alfonso, he took the initiative to find Archbishop Aguilar and agreed in person to the request of the Holy See.

As soon as King Alfonso agreed, Archbishop Aguilar sent the news back to the Holy See headquarters through special channels. The overjoyed senior of the Holy See headquarters sent the news to Archbishop Innocent and asked him to come forward to find Bai Feng Mediate the matter.
