If you want to get help from her, you have to take heavy medicine. Angelo once again strengthened his thoughts and said to Queen Enid: "Have you ever thought about where you will go if the Holy See is officially established as a country?
I'm afraid it's not that easy to go back and become a saint of the Holy See. After all, you once sat in the highest position in the royal court, and you have the purest blood of the royal family in your belly. You and the child in your belly will become the ruler of the Holy See.
The most unstable factor.”
"I know my situation very well. I don't need Messenger Angel to remind me, what exactly do you want to express?" Although Queen Enid's face was expressionless, her slightly twinkling eyes showed that Angelo had poked her.
of pain.
Queen Enid is able to sit in her current position and sit very firmly. She is definitely not a puppet supported by the Holy See. She must be a smart person with flexible skills. She has not considered her current situation.
As long as the other party has his own considerations, he will have a chance.
Angelo was overjoyed and continued: "What I want to say is that your majesty and the queen are blood relatives. Their broken bones are connected to their tendons. At this critical moment, they should support each other. If the queen helps your majesty and helps you cross the plateau,
After this crisis, the entire plateau will miss the queen's kindness. The Holy See will have some scruples before taking corresponding actions against the queen. What's more, His Majesty doesn't ask for much. He only needs you to put pressure on the Yongye army from the side.
, so that they don’t dare to act rashly. Of course, if it can promote the Holy See’s all-out war against the Yongye Army Leader, that would be even better..."
"A full-scale war between the Holy See and the Yongye Army Leader? I'm afraid you are overthinking... The Holy See just signed a compensation agreement with the Yongye Army Leader a few months ago. Don't you know the specific meaning of it?" Yi
Queen Ned coldly interrupted Angelo's lobbying.
"The past was before, and the present is now. The last war happened too hastily. I'm afraid the Holy See itself was not fully prepared. The plateau people only heard sporadic news about this after the war. If
This time the Plateau and the Holy See jointly send troops from both sides, it will inevitably make the leaders of the Yongye Army unable to care about each other." Angelo said persistently, "Sooner or later, there will be a battle between the Holy See and the leaders of the Yongye Army. Instead of waiting for the other side to be fully prepared,
It is better to go to war when it is most beneficial to you than to go to war when it is most beneficial to you."
"As expected of the proud student of the Archbishop of Yaduniya, his views in all aspects are indeed above ordinary people, but there are too many personal subjective ideas mixed in. What you just said involves hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people.
How can a total war in which millions of people die can be brought about if it can be brought about?" Queen Enid was not moved by Angelo's words at all.
"Only by trying it will you know whether it can happen. If we just sit here and wait, no miracle will happen." Angelo frantically poured Chicken Soup for the Soul into Queen Enid.
"There is no need to say more. I already understand the purpose of your trip. I will carefully consider the matters entrusted to me by my father, both public and private. Messenger Angelo must be exhausted after traveling a long distance. He might as well take a rest first.
Let me also think about what to do next. When the time comes, I may continue to use your mouth to persuade more people." Queen Enid waved her hands and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.
"Okay." Angelo could only accept the other party's proposal, "But please ask the queen to make a decision as soon as possible. The leader of the Yongye Army will not leave us too much time."
"I see," Queen Enid replied.
Although Queen Enid behaved very coldly when she received Angelo.
But after the incident, he actively ran around. Not only did he visit all the bishops who were stationed in the royal capital, but he also sent letters to all the bishops who could speak in front of Pope St. George to inquire about their voices.
At the same time, they want to put pressure on Pope St. George through them.
It was not so much the conditions Christine revealed that moved her, but rather Queen Enid's efforts for her own survival.
No one wants to be an abandoned child. She must create future living conditions for herself and her unborn child.
There were indeed many people in the Holy See who were attracted by the various conditions offered by Queen Enid and helped her facilitate this matter.
But when it came to Pope St. George, everything came to nothing.
Not to mention launching an all-out war against the leader of the Eternal Night Army, Pope St. George showed no interest in even the conditions offered by Archduke Christian to join the Holy See, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the preparations for the Holy See Empire.
It’s not that Pope St. George was very contractual.
But he was very aware of Archduke Christian's little plan. The so-called joining the Holy See might be another round of empty promises.
If Huayu Plateau and Carter Army Leader were like that, they would be able to travel freely without any obstruction.
Pope St. George may still be a little tempted, and it is impossible for him to go to full-scale war with his future allies over a piece of chicken ribs.
The demons gathering in the far north now are their biggest threat in the future.
Before they become powerful, driving them out of this continent is the top priority.
The information asymmetry destined Archduke Christine and the others to work in vain like clowns.
Even a top wise man like Archmaester Aduniya has great limitations in his judgment and analysis due to the information he possesses.
This is a crushing blow on the general trend.
…
Flower Language Plateau.
Helian Mountain Pass.
There was a roar of people and flags flying to the sky.
At every moment, private armies of local nobles with different flags gathered from all directions.
This is the first line of defense chosen by Count Nicholls to intercept the Yong Ye Army Leader.
Although Count Nickles and others did not fully believe Viscount Gauld's views on the Evernight Army Leader, it still played a certain positive role in them, making them pay more attention to the opponent of the Evernight Army Leader and take a more active approach towards it.
Strategy and tactics.
It is undoubtedly the best choice to further strengthen the natural defense lines of both sides and block the main force of the Yong Ye Army under the plateau.
The Helian Pass is the only way to launch a large-scale attack on the Huayu Plateau from the Donau Plain.
The fault mountain range between the Huayu Plateau and the Donau Plain has a unique feature that other mountain ranges do not have - no matter how high other mountain ranges are, they will have more or less ups and downs, with ridges and valleys.
The Broken Vein Mountains that separate the Byron Alliance and the Odin Steppe still have a huge gap like a gap.
There are no fault mountains, at least not in the direction leading to the Huayu Plateau.
Because compared to the Donau Plain, the Huayu Plateau is located on the top of a mountain with an altitude of more than two to three thousand meters. The entire mountain range is rising all the way towards the Huayu Plateau.
In many places, there are 80-90-degree cliffs that are tens of meters or even hundreds of meters away. Unless you are a climber who has been specially trained since childhood, it will be difficult to climb through here, let alone allow an army to pass through here.
This is the meaning of the word fault in fault mountains.
Helian Pass is a relatively large and relatively easy entrance to and from the fault mountain range.
Originally, there were a thousand elite soldiers belonging to the Bryan family stationed here all year round.
The original purpose was naturally to guard the front door and prevent people from entering and exiting at will.
However, with the rise of trade between the Huayu Plateau and the Yongye Army, the scale has increased significantly every year, and a new function has been added here - setting up cards to collect taxes.
In the past two years, this alone has allowed the Bryan family and the Yamaguchi garrison to make a lot of money.
Naturally, the Yamaguchi garrison was replaced by cannons. It was upgraded from a shabby camp to a small town, and the number of people making a living here also increased rapidly.
The mountain road outside the mountain pass, which has not changed much for hundreds of years, has also been repaired and widened several times by the merchants who made huge profits from it and provided people and money.
As for whether there was any instigation from the Yong Ye Army Leader in the meantime to prepare for their future march to the Flower Language Plateau, only the senior leaders of the Yong Ye Army Leader knew.
However, human power is ultimately limited in the face of nature.
Although the Helian Pass and the mountain roads outside have been rebuilt and widened, they are still synonymous with ruggedness and difficulty. The time, energy, manpower and material resources required for a mountain road of just 160 kilometers and less than 200 kilometers are enough.
Let them travel thousands of kilometers on smooth roads.
This is the biggest reliance of the senior leaders of Huayu Plateau.
"How is the troop concentration going?" Count Nicholls shook the red wine in the tall glass and sat high on the large general's chair, trying hard to show his majesty as a general.
It's a pity that his appearance is too strange. From a distance, he looks more like a giant monkey squatting on a stool.
But no one dared to show ridicule, not even abnormal natural expressions.
The last person who dared to do this would have been covered with grass half as tall as a person.
"As of yesterday, thirty-five adults have arrived with their own troops, and eighteen more are on the way. In addition, six adults have sent letters saying
It's because the revolutionary party in their territory is making too much noise, and they need some time to suppress it, so their arrival will be delayed." Count Nickles' military statistician replied quickly without thinking.
"The number of soldiers, I want the number of soldiers. They are the key to the war. No matter how many people come, if they come empty-handed, we will not have the troops available." Count Nicholls reprimanded dissatisfiedly.
My ability as a military statistician is unparalleled. It is not an easy task to complete the statistics of so many different numbers and belonging armies at such a fast speed.
The only drawback is that every time I report to myself, I always fail to grasp the key points of the matter.
"Forty-six thousand people have been gathered so far, and there are another two to thirty thousand on the way." The military statistician replied again.
"There are almost 50,000 troops." The goblet in Niklos' hand shook uncontrollably faster, and the wine sloshing in it formed a small vortex, "What are the movements of the Yongye Army leader over there? Is there any army?
Heading into the mountains?"
"The army led by Yongye Army is still stationed at the assembly area and has no intention of heading into the mountains. Every day, there are shouts of drill coming from their camp. They seem to be training." The general in charge of the investigation work.
He hurriedly got out of the queue and replied.
"What does it mean? What I want is accurate information. It's been so long, have you ever given me a positive answer?" There was unconcealable anger in Count Nicholas's words.
"General, please calm down. It's not because we don't work hard, but because the Yongye Army's defense is so tight that our sentinels can't get through it. As long as they get within three kilometers of their camp, our sentinels will never come back.
Let alone bringing back news." The general himself felt aggrieved.
"A bunch of trash." Count Nicholls cursed angrily, but he had no choice but to do so because this was the third intelligence general he had replaced in recent weeks, and it would not make much sense to replace him further.
Everyone's failure to spy on intelligence one after another shows that it is not that there is a problem with the intelligence generals' ability, but that the other party's confidentiality work in this regard is really good.
"General, this behavior of the enemy is too abnormal. Judging from the intelligence first collected by our spy posts, the total number of troops assembled by the opponent this time is no less than one hundred thousand. This is not a small number. They have assembled a large number of troops.
However, he has not taken any military measures for a long time. This abnormal behavior must be brewing a conspiracy." The scholar and wise man next to Count Niklos couldn't help but said.
"Why do you need to remind me? You can tell me what conspiracy they are brewing?" Count Niklos asked with eyes wide open.
"This..." The scholar and wise man was speechless for a moment.
No matter how smart a wise man is, if he wants to formulate a perfect plan, it is based on a large amount of intelligence.
If a plan is formulated without fully understanding the enemy's situation, it will be a castle in the air and destined to fail.
Earl Niklos snorted and said: "Continue to increase the number of spy posts, and try to use the shortest possible time to find out what the army led by the Yongye Army is doing when they gather together, and keep an eye on them. If they have anything
I want to know about military trends as soon as possible."
"Yes." The general in charge of intelligence quickly stood up and accepted the order.
"I am sending an order to all the gentlemen who have not arrived yet, asking them to go to the nearest town to garrison and eat, keep the roads open, and obey our dispatch at any time. We must be prepared for a protracted war." Count Nicholls issued the second decree.
Tao command.
Unable to fully grasp the intelligence of the enemy's movements, Count Nicholls took relatively conservative military actions.
Nearly 50,000 troops are enough to fill the Helian Mountain Pass, and they mainly rely on geographical advantages here.
No matter how many people come, it will put more pressure on their logistical supplies.
Although Count Nicholas has never experienced any major wars in his life, he is from a military family and has received a systematic elite education, so his military quality is definitely not bad.
