You and me under the world tree

Chapter 97: The Cry Signs of War

Howard doesn't like to generalize war in terms of so-called board games.

Although even he himself has to admit that he has such an idea partly because his kung fu on the chessboard has not yet reached the point of perfection.

However, this is indeed an undeniable fact.

Because the so-called chess game can only be used as an educational enlightenment, and even theoretical knowledge is not counted.

As for why, it is because it has rules, and the restrictions are extremely severe.

Although it seems to drag both players to the same level, it seems that the test is only the strategy and psychological game between that moment.

However, this 'drag' and 'fairness' itself is the greatest injustice.

The so-called war itself is about the quality of the army and the heritage of the kingdom, and these can be summed up in one word: national strength.

If the kingdom is strong, as long as the head of the legion is not superior or cerebral palsy, then no matter how many strategies are used, it will be useless.

Conspiracy?

As long as a big frame is put there, each legion will advance according to the steps. If they don't mess around, Hodter really doesn't believe that there is any conspiracy that can overthrow the current Netherlands army.

But back then, he was able to completely overthrow the Burgundy Kingdom under the default rule of the atrium that 'wizards are not allowed to use extraordinary means to intervene in wars'. This was still taking advantage of the loopholes of the lordship system.

But now, facing the same situation, it is useless to use similar strategies.

"Times have changed after all, Burgundy."

In the room where only one person was left, the sage whispered alone.

He finally moved his eyes away from the view of the military camp outside the window, and turned his eyes to the simple layout around him.

Then, he looked at the sculpture of dragon and wolf fighting that he had taken out.

"And once the Kingdom of Burgundy is resolved, 'the next step can also begin.'"

Because the 'road' has been completely opened up, and that piece of land will eventually be brought into their hands.

…………

On the other hand, just as the sage expected, the news delivered by Hagen is naturally a good news from the front line.

The Raven Legion led by Harf quickly rushed to the southern border, and then divided into two groups.

Nearly 5000 people led by the adjutant Xiaozhan Bodwall stayed behind to defend, blocking the attack of Geernott who landed on the Rhine, and Half, who had the nickname of "Raven King", played the role that seemed to be caused by the battle. The bravery inherited from Harald, the king of teeth, only took the last remaining warriors with less than a thousand people to travel lightly.

Those 1000 men were all cavalry!

It is also the number of regular cavalry owned by the Raven Legion.

Then, both sides achieved big victories.

Bodwall used the infantry left behind to launch a tight blockade on the plain, using the fortresses and towns that had already been built as a basis to directly block Garnott from the periphery.

As for Harf's harvest, it was even more generous. When he led the cavalry to the border without stopping, the brave Xi Luosen had not yet been able to break through the thickened and reinforced city wall.

And Halph is not the kind of fierce man who will be crushed and beaten inside the thick city wall.

After about two days of rest, he led the soldiers out of the city to fight, and there were gains in this battle.

The giant warrior Xi Luosen, who possesses great strength, is enraged by his wilder and more vicious wild boar warfare.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that because Xi Luosen is the heir of a giant, his figure is taller and burlier than ordinary people, so this kind of swordsmanship can play a subtle role.

Even without a shield, Half, who was wielding two swords, could kill no one who dared to get close to him under the blessing of Berserk.

Since then, Burgundy's first round of attack has been completely thwarted. Prince Geernot was even directly captured and sent to the city of Sky Wrath by Bodwal's men.

"Besides, Your Majesty, these two letters were delivered at the same time."

Just as Siegfried was staring at the letters in his hand sent by his adjutant Bodwall and Legion Commander Half, he heard Hagen's words.

"Well, in a sense, it can be regarded as double happiness."

However, compared to Hagen's slightly relaxed smile, the king Siegfried couldn't smile much.

He just closed his eyes.

As for his current mood, it is still a bit complicated.

Victory will certainly bring joy, that's right, but let's not mention the Raven Legion that rushed all the way, even the soldiers guarding the border have paid a certain price.

The number of casualties is also listed in the letter.

"Where are their names?"

In the end, Siegfried took the initiative to break the silence.

"There is a list of the names of the dead and the disabled. Your Majesty does not need to worry about that."

"Well, then I'll leave it to you to deal with. Pensions and aftercare must be carried out to their families. If there are no elders in the family and they cannot make decisions, then they will be brought to the royal city."

"Well, I understand, Your Majesty."

In this way, after scanning the two letters reporting the results of the battle, the king began to explain various things to Hagen as a king.

Although outside, Hagen showed an attitude of arbitrariness, but inside the team, Siegfried was aware of his deeds.

Not to mention personal actions, most of the government affairs and decisions handled by Hagen were inspired by him.

"I won't say much about the rest, Hagen, how do you feel when you see Gael Nott again?"

And after explaining those bits and pieces of details, he couldn't help asking such a question.

After hearing Siegfried's question, Hagen was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the Lord Chancellor of the Netherlands closed his eyes.

"To be honest, I don't have any special feelings, Your Majesty. At first, I thought I should hate them very much, but then, my feelings became very strange. Now... I don't have any feelings, so they are just like that. .”

At this moment, Hagen couldn't help but see the kind of eyes of Garnott he had seen before.

That manic expression mixed with hatred.

Because in Geernott's view, both the death of Krimhild and Jibishi are inseparably related to him.

"You've worked so hard this time."

Finally, Siegfried patted him on the shoulder.

"Tomorrow I'm going to visit Garnott, help me prepare for this."

"Yes."

Just when Hagen lowered his head and basically ignored the bored Princess Hilda on the other side, Siegfried suddenly glanced back.

There, the sage also slowly walked out of the small room.

"Talk slowly, I'll go buy some food and cook at home."

Talking about family matters in the court, Huo De's behavior seemed a little out of place, but it also eased the inexplicably dull atmosphere in the study for a while.

Even Siegfried, who was not in a good mood, laughed.

"uncle."

"Ok?"

"Next... I may have to ask you again."

"Well, I know, after all, apart from you and me, I'm afraid there is no one suitable."

A few days later, a decree issued by the weak king came from the palace: the sage Huo De received the "Sword of Glory, Aidilin", and led the 300 Heavenly Fury Guards to the southern front to act as a war executive and manage the war matter.

At the same time, the sage escorted Prince Gaernot of Burgundy into the royal tomb, and used his blood and head to pay homage to the soldiers who died in battle and the people who died tragically.

All of a sudden, the entire kingdom was filled with cries of war.

Take a day off, maybe I have a little fever

@@@@ I don't know the reason, after squinting for a while at night, the body temperature suddenly went up, I don't even know what's going on.

After writing a few words, I found that my head was a bit empty. I don’t need to wait today, I will update it tomorrow morning.

Well, I'll take a break and that's it, it's a disgrace that the leave slip was used at the beginning of the month. _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 98: War Without Return

In the human world, the so-called war is always the eternal theme.

This is not to say that humans inherently like to fight, but because humans never like to be bullied by others.

The reasons for this are various.

Either it was a dispute caused by a pure misunderstanding, or it was because some people were relatively cheap and liked to make troubles, which made the other person angry.

From the disorderly quarrels and quarrels between children to the struggle between kingdoms, there are so many reasons that even those wise men can't fully understand.

And in the end, those reasons don't seem to matter that much.

This is not to say that the cause should not be investigated, but because when the situation becomes complicated, the cause has become a pretext.

And the constant cycle of hatred and hatred will become a chain, bound to human beings forever.

Fortunately, the source of this war between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Burgundy can be sorted out.

Not to mention the rumors from the Kingdom of Burgundy, because neither Hodder nor Hagen can control this.

What they can control is their own region.

And under the control and guidance of public opinion, everything is developing in the direction they expected.

In the eyes of the people of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Burgundy has violated their bottom line.

Even for a considerable number of people, the war centered on the southern border of the kingdom did not hurt their fundamental interests, but they still hated the Kingdom of Burgundy.

Because they first wanted to poison King Siegfried and plunge the originally thriving Kingdom of the Netherlands into chaos.

Then he assassinated their King His Majesty for the second time.

Even the most stupid people understand that Siegfried's death does them no good.

They have no way to ensure that the king who succeeds after Siegfried's death will bring such a good life to the people as Siegfried swore.

The fear of the unknown future in the heart, the official declaration, and the pride of the kingdom that Huo De deliberately accumulated, all of these may not be stable, but in the end it ignited the hatred of the Burgundian Kingdom in the hearts of the people .

In fact, this kind of hatred will not stay in the hearts of the people for too long. Except for those southern residents who have really experienced casualties and life and death, northern residents may soon forget this tremor.

But that's enough.

Because the restless hearts of the people in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the cries for victory and war echoed among the people have pushed the huge and bloated war machine forward slowly.

Most people would not jump out to make a second discordant voice at this time, and ordinary people also supported His Majesty the King to show the toughest side to face the attacking enemy.

And even those guys who mixed in the crowd and wanted to stir up trouble would not show up in this situation.

Because the general trend is like this, the so-called fame and the reason for the war have already been paved long before.

No one would blame the weak king at such a time, and even if there were discordant voices, most of the possible stigma was borne by the palace minister Hagen.

Siegfried can not only gain a good name, but also sit in the court and wait for the news that the Kingdom of Burgundy has been destroyed.

Although he may not be very happy about it.

Before all the dust settles, he probably won't be able to eat or sleep well.

"What a naive kid."

Looking up at the bright night sky, Huo De couldn't help but speak.

It has been about two weeks since Siegfried actually issued the declaration of war. During this time, Hodder and the 300 Heavenly Fury Guards spent three days, day and night, arriving at the southern border.

Then it took more than a week to lead the Raven Army and the Fog Demon Army stationed in the south to launch an attack, occupying the surrounding towns and forts all the way, and then marching towards Worms, the capital of the Burgundy Kingdom.

Not to mention defeat, even casualties are rare.
