Let’s talk about the situation of the empress Saint Alegria.
When the former emperor was still alive, the princess named Keno was not a popular candidate to succeed the emperor. She did not have particularly outstanding performance in political affairs. Her personal martial arts skills were okay, but she was not a general. She also did not actually lead troops in battle.
Went through battles, on the battlefields of the Plains of Oz.
In terms of strength, there are so-called hard power and soft power. The military power in your hands and your own martial arts can all be classified as hard power. Soft power refers to the size and number of supporters and followers, not necessarily
They may have been recruited by others, or they may have come to seek refuge on their own.
However, no matter what kind of strength she has, the princess Keno can be rated as unqualified. There are also outstanding projects, and that is the martial arts that are least needed to be an emperor.
If you have the courage to gather a few younger brothers to become adventurers and wander around in a fascination, without any real skills, it is very likely that you will be able to get out and not come back. But which emperor personally went to kill him? If there is a real need, I guess so
It's a situation where the rebels are attacking the door and everyone is the enemy.
But when other people who are qualified to succeed to the throne make big mistakes, things are different.
Some princes and princesses have offended the interests of the aristocracy. They try to use their political strength to intervene in disputes between the aristocrats. They do not ask about right or wrong, they only recognize their position and only protect their own people.
If you have good skills and can really overwhelm the opponent, then forget it. But if you don't, the result will just be to anger the opponent. In addition, if the matter is not completed, even your own people will show dissatisfaction, and ultimately you will end up with an unpleasant end.
Some committed crimes blatantly and left behind irrefutable evidence.
If the target is an ordinary person and can suppress the matter by means, then forget it. But if you want to poison your own brother, but his deeds are exposed, it is impossible to make up for such a mistake.
If he had just made a mistake, he would not have been given up by his supporters. The biggest reason why this prince was given up was that he was too stupid!
Who would point directly at the nose of the person being poisoned in public and curse, "I worked so hard to poison you, why are you not dead yet?" etc. If such words are spoken out loud, who would dare to stand in front of them?
He was also excluded from the selection of the successor to the throne because of this. He had an IQ problem and could not be saved.
As for the unlucky guy who was poisoned, he didn't escape, he just wasn't poisoned to death.
It is no surprise that a person who has lost half his life is so weak that he can kick his legs at any time. Of course, such a person cannot succeed as emperor. If he just takes the throne and then dies again, wouldn’t those who invested in him be a loser?
drift.
There are also those weirdos who have no interest in power and only love beauty and art. This kind of person has no ambitions and can be said to be the ideal target of allegiance to those who want to support the leader. Provided that this guy does not kill himself from the disease...
…
The worst thing is to use magic to make yourself inhuman or ghost. Human body modification is a taboo for the ruling class such as the nobility. It can be done secretly. Once it is made public, it is equivalent to putting oneself among the secular people.
The enemy's status is not accepted by everyone. Even if the original status is not deprived, it is wishful thinking to still want to win over supporters.
Therefore, when the former empress died, the throne was vacant, and the selection of a successor was imminent. After many of the originally promising successors fell apart due to various problems, it was not long before Princess Keno returned to the royal family from her role as an adventurer.
This person who didn't make any big mistakes only came into the sight of all the nobles because of an accident.
That accident was actually a victory. What the Greco family's Chamber of Commerce steward told Lin was actually just propaganda data from the empire. Lin just listened to the story as a reference. However, the real situation is:
The 'quasi' princess of Kono, who was criticized for having never been to the battlefield of the Plains of Oz, took her loyal guards with her to get the official title of princess. However, her supporters were all small nobles, so she could pull
Not many troops came out, and in the eyes of others, they were just passing through.
Because of her father's low status, the nobles had not yet taken a direct look at this inconspicuous princess-to-be. Going to the battlefield on the Plains of Oz was somewhat of a fulfillment of their obligations.
Although the Karlsruhe Empire does not have a compulsory military service system, nor does it have any clear regulations in this regard. However, the resume on the battlefield of the Oz Plain has become a must for those nobles who want to obtain a formal title, so the prospective princess must not
Don't go this way.
Although there are few supporters and not many troops, it is certainly impossible for a quasi-princess who is born in the royal family to let her troops go to the battlefield like beggars wearing sackcloth and holding pitchforks. Therefore, the support that should be given to the royal family will still be
Give.
Even if it's not much, it depends on who you compare with. Compared with the royal guard, it's really not much. But compared with the private troops of ordinary nobles, it's a huge sum of money. After all, in ordinary troops, soldiers are soldiers and officers are
Officials, there is a gap between the two. The resources that the quasi-princess has, the lowest soldiers are equivalent to the standards of knights, which is the level of nobles.
Keno had never thought about recruiting a luxurious army for himself, at least a magician couldn't afford it. However, based on the characteristics and areas of expertise of his friends, he did something different from other royal families who went to the front line to gild the army.
Choices made.
She asked her partner in the same adventure team, the heavy armored warrior, to organize a small team of heavy armored soldiers. The hunter used a replica of the repeating crossbow bought from the tower owner of the Great Sage's Tower, and also organized a small team of long-range soldiers.
Troops. Both squads serve as escorts and follow you in and out of the battlefield.
Keno spent the remaining funds on dragoons. The key point is that each dragoon is equipped with a new weapon-the ship-cutting knife! It also comes from the Tower of the Great Sage and is made by the magician.
new weapon designs.
But the Dragon Cavalry is a high-level unit, and it is expensive to set up. The serrated teeth of the ship-cutting knife are all dragon scales. Even if the empire can trade the scales shed by the dragons from the Dragon Island, the price is much cheaper than elsewhere. But the required quantity
Once more, the total price is still considerable.
Thanks to the small nobles who supported the quasi-princess of Keno, as well as Keno himself selling everything to prepare, three squadrons of dragoons were formed, with a total of 300 people.
Since today's battles on the battlefield in the Oz plains all revolve around the competition for food and fertile land. In short, ground troops are the main focus. Those who want to show results will all vigorously form long-range troops for attack or defense.
Although the dragoons are considered the ace unit of the Karlsruhe Empire, they are not suitable to appear on such a battlefield. But Princess Nou did this, and everyone speculated that maybe the princess just came to the battlefield to take a look. Waiting for one
After the harvest festival is over, you can take such a noble army back to Neuquén and receive the title of princess with peace of mind.
Little did they know, Keno and her friends set their sights on an opponent that few people challenge - the airship of the Haider Empire.
As the Haider Empire's only means of supplying supplies to the Tianguan military fortress, the appearance of airships is the intelligence that the Karlsruhe Empire is most concerned about. If the other party has an unusually large accumulation of supplies, it is a sign of the expansion of the scale of the war.
Prelude. As long as you are a qualified commander, you cannot fail to guard against this.
For the Haider Empire, instead of using a large fleet to transport supplies at one time after a long interval, it is better to continuously transport small batches of supplies to the front line. The two have fundamental differences in the morale of the front line. Later
The way of transportation and replenishment is like saying that the empire has not forgotten the soldiers on the front line, and resources from the local area are endless.
Furthermore, small-batch, high-intensity supply and supply missions are beneficial to the combat training of airships, and also exercise the command’s dispatching capabilities. It provides facilities for the mobilization of frontline personnel, the evacuation of the wounded, and the exchange of intelligence.
Considerable flexibility.
What's more, there was no forum before. If the Central Committee of the Haider Empire wanted to know the news about the Tianguan front line, it could only do so by sending letters. The speed and reliability of the airship were also crucial.
Therefore, the number of airship fleets shouldered by the Haider Empire to carry out supplies is not large, no more than five squadrons, that is, the size of five airships. However, the frequency of arriving at Jietian Pass is quite intensive, lasting two or three days.
You can see a wave.
In the same situation as the Dragoons, airships are of no significance to the battle for the Plains of Oz. Although dispatching airships can bring huge advantages, when compared with the strategic results, it can be found that dispatching airships
This kind of bad war is a losing business. Therefore, as far as the Haider Empire is concerned, the airships are only used to ensure that the task of transporting supplies is completed, and they are not used to fight bad wars on the front line.
Secondly, Midi does not have air supremacy, and there are even certain height restrictions for air defense. This is limited to ground attack methods, and opponents that are too high cannot be hit at all. Besides, Midi's 'air force' does not
Of all the air-to-ground attack methods, the airship is the only one that is powerful, so most of the lost lands simply give up their defense in the sky.
Under various conditions, the beginning of a 'brilliant' victory happened on an autumn morning. That day, there was heavy fog.
Three squadrons of dragoons carrying ship-cutting knives hid their bodies in the fog and flew over Jietianguan Fortress. The route of the airship carrying out the supply mission was fixed, so the dragoons stayed in the backlight
s position.
One thing that is hard to imagine is that traditional airship reconnaissance methods still rely on visual inspection! Therefore, the dragoons who were backlit and hidden in the search were not discovered by Haider's supply airship fleet.
.
Although the airship corps of the Haider Empire is known as the trump card, the airships in the corps are built in different years. There is no saying that new models will be released, but the entire corps will be upgraded. Some of the airships were built more than a hundred years ago.
The boat is still in use today.
According to the rules recorded by the Karlsruhe Empire, the airship fleet carrying out this supply mission should be mainly old-type airships. The floating devices of these airships are vertical to
The giant propeller on the ship's hull is characterized by making quite a lot of noise. Therefore, from a distance, you can first hear the sound of the airship and then see its silhouette.
Since it was a routine mission, the airship's advantage as an aerial fortress, and the strength of the nearly a hundred magicians on board, made them very reassured about this voyage, even to the point of neglecting it.
