Chapter 64 Late support is not support
Lann thought for a while: "I want to transport some supplies to Brochlon."
He had planned to strengthen the construction of the town of Blochlon long before returning to Sintra, and now might be a good opportunity.
But East shook his head and said regretfully: "You may have to solve this problem yourself. We are currently at war. Craftsmen and materials must be given priority to the front line."
Lann thought again: "How about letting me go to the front line? I have been in the city defense army for a long time, and it's time to go to the battlefield. And I can control my own spoils, right?"
Lann needs more channels to gain experience. Now he has surpassed mortal strength and is strong enough to protect himself on the battlefield. Moreover, he is more flexible when leading troops outside, making it easier for him to respond if there are major changes.
Calanthe slapped the table: "You are the last Lannister, and you cannot go to the battlefield. And you have no descendants. I will arrange some cocktail parties for you in a while, just wait!"
Lan En's mouth twitched.
In the end, he could only say: "There must be some alchemy materials or spellcasting materials in the king's treasury, right? Auntie, you never use these on the battlefield. They are not considered war preparation materials. How about I take some?"
This is understandable. Cintra advocates force and neglects the use of magic and the recruitment of sorcerers. The collection of alchemy and magic materials by the treasury is mainly to enrich the diversity of the royal collection, and basically no one will use it at ordinary times.
"But this support force came from the sea. I have never been to the sea, but I have heard a lot about the vagaries of the sea from sailors. I was wondering if I call for help at a critical moment, will it be too late?"
East didn't seem to notice. He pondered for a while and said to Lann: "Lan, the matter involving the mobilization of the army is more complicated. The gathering of multiple families in Skelet, the refitting of the troops, and the subsequent transportation of baggage are all mutually beneficial.
Contact is also very costly. If a large force is recruited in advance, it may not be as good for Cintra as fighting against Nilfgaard alone.
Calanthe couldn't stand listening anymore. The lioness was about to roar, but her husband's hand on her shoulder was slightly stronger.
On the other hand, East did not speak. He fell into deep thought after listening to Lan's words.
What if Skellige's reinforcements had arrived earlier? Would the situation have been different?
Lan suddenly said: "Uncle, regarding our war with Nilfgaard, I have some questions to ask you: Will Skelet provide support for our confrontation with Nilfgaard?"
But now he looked at the former king of Skellige, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Of course there is no problem, Lan." East said, "Don't think too much about it. We will compensate you after we drive Nilfgaard away."
"I have heard from Mossack that you seem to be obsessed with magic. I don't object to your hobbies, but Lan, you have to know that you are a knight and an earl, and you have a more important mission..."
Lan shook his head and said: "I was just thinking that Skellig is our closest and most powerful ally, the first and last friend we will consider—"
Lann nodded mechanically using his muscle memory. The purpose of the Queen and his wife coming to him today was basically completed.
Lan still refused to give up: "Then at least we can divide the army into several groups to avoid being completely blocked by an accident."
"It's just that our situation is not yet at the point where we must provide support. Theoretically, we won't reach that point, so you don't have to worry too much. But when the situation is really critical, Skellyt will never be stingy in lending help.
Hands, I am here after all, don’t worry.”
The war has just begun and you want to ask for help to boost the morale of others? When Calanthe heard this, the proud lioness of Sintra was about to get angry, and East's hand was gently placed on her shoulder.
The queen turned her head and looked at him, her face full of displeasure.
"Is it possible for us to let Skellige's army set off early? If we are in crisis when they arrive, it will be a timely help; if we are in good shape at that time, we can take this opportunity to counterattack Nilfgaard and create a better future for Nilfgaard.
Our two countries have opened up borders and expanded their territories.”
Calanthe frowned after hearing Lan's request, but she did not stop East's promise to Lan, and just said afterward:
In this battle, the Skellig reinforcements that were supposed to arrive as reinforcements did not arrive due to a storm at sea or other extreme weather, leaving the Cintra army isolated and helpless. This battle not only destroyed Cintra's final
The elite were burned to the ground, and King East was shot to death by a stray arrow.
Calanthe finally couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and yelled: "Do you know that will increase a lot of unnecessary losses? A small group of soldiers can easily be swallowed up by a large number of enemies ready to attack!"
If it weren't for Mossak's support, Cintra could be said to be insulated from magic.
It seems that in the original work, the direct cause of Cintra's defeat was a huge defeat in a valley that Lan had forgotten.
Lann said: "But isn't fighting in small groups the best way for the Skelet people to fight? And on the sea, who else but the Skelet would have a large navy?"
When he said this, Lann smiled at King East.
Lann was eventually driven out by the roaring lioness.
I know what you are worried about, and you can rest assured that the sailors of Skelet are all veterans who have been fighting in huge waves for dozens of generations, and nothing will happen to them."
Queen Calanthe drove all the attendants out with a cold face and drank glass after glass of wine.
Seeing his lover's appearance, East chuckled, stopped thinking, and gently stepped forward to hug his wife, who was famous for her beauty in the northern countries.
"Lan, it's good that you can think of this. It took me a lot of effort to persuade your aunt to let me go back to my hometown to discuss support." East smiled and said, "It seems that you also have good military talents.
It’s a pity that this rare training opportunity didn’t let you go to the battlefield.”
"You dote on him too much, my love. Lann is like this, and Ciri is like this too."
"But they are both good kids, right? Lann is, and so is Ciri. Why do you always disagree with the two of them? If I remember correctly, Lann's bloodline is separated from Ciri by five or six generations.
Ethically, there has been no problem for a long time. They just have deep feelings, so why don't you agree?"
Feeling the king burying his nose in her hair, Calanthe caressed her lover's cheek and sighed, "Because I'm afraid."
"Oh? My lioness is also afraid of something?"
