With all the lords of the kingdom gathered for the coronation, we were able to convene a council of operations immediately.
Of course, the strategy had already been established by both Albrecht and his men to give them instructions.
The troops were divided into three groups, and would move under some strategy, and the biases were about how and supply.
Even Albrecht could not accurately determine such statistics as the entire kingdom's population, output and consumption.
An estimate of 100,000 was made when the economy was barely scraping away.
Nevertheless, Albrecht's theory was that every military operation should use appropriate quantities. It was because if I scraped together an insurmountable force, it would become poisonous.
The moderate size was important not only because the military itself was a unproductive population, but also because it was a constantly consuming population.
We still had to keep an eye on Hestein's movements, so we decided to leave the territories facing the east and the north, part of the Grand Duke of Osterlyn, and the newly incorporated central forces behind us.
Randolph, Hermann and Wilhelm will form Group 1, Albrecht will lead Group 1 with Calten-Lightingen's forces and the rest of the Central Army with Siegmund. It was about 40,000 troops.
Once upon a time, when Zigmunt was organizing the center, it swallowed up the Union forces as they did.
Since most of the 30,000 troops have now returned home and engaged in their careers, they were 10,000 troops.
Overall, Siegmund was the anvil, and the Northern army was the hammer, but there again Randolph's army was the anvil, and Albrecht was the hammer.
Sigmund was an anvil garrisoned in Lauren at the high ground, and when Randolph tied Lauren's troops to the low ground, Albrecht broke through the wire and took over as much of the area as he could.
Albrecht had not previously recognized the autonomy of inland cities such as Rheinfurt, Zollingen, Vitelsbaden, Argenberg and Langelbart, but this time he asked for war supplies.
I didn't ask for it for free, I decided to buy it for a cheap price. There seemed to be a time limit for the state to cover the entire supply.
It was a reality that we had no choice but to rely on the merchants who followed the military for a substantial portion of the supplies.
War merchants usually raise their prices to the point of blinking their noses. So, if it was supplied at a cheap price, it could be a war commodity and supply itself.
Albrecht didn't know much about economics, but he did know the most important first rule. It was free in the world.
If Albrecht threatens them with his strength, he should be able to get it for free right now, but it's like stepping on a growing sprout. It was a painful cost in the long run.
Therefore, as they increased their output, they hit the value at a profitable level. It allowed for an economy of scale.
The phone had no radio, so I had to make an appointment on a date.
For a year, the lords decided to start the invasion in the spring of the next year by getting ready for war and gathering troops from the end of the harvest.
War was always a futile plan when it came to action, but it always required a plan, and it needed to be thorough and thorough when it came to planning.
When the plan became useless, the commander's true worth was revealed. Albrecht and the Northern Army fought many wars, so they were quick to deal with the situation change and were good at responding to impending events.
But it was confined to combat, and an unexpected situation occurred before starting the war. But in a way, it was good news.
Albrecht had a coronation in Kalnitz, stayed for a month, had an operational meeting with the lords, and then disbanded them.
Then, as soon as the king returned to Wrightingen, he started preparing for war and stockpiling weapons and supplies in the warehouse.
There were no conscripts in the royal province, but there were 3,000 recruits. Albrecht scored 1,000 men by age and stamina, then had the infantry train them.
Since Albrecht's troops were chosen to hide the best of the best, the youngest recruits were transformed into elites in just a few months.
The army was originally made up of 200 Lysen Knights knights and 1,000 soldiers.
He re-elected the best of them to be the nearest death squad and the nearest guard, which brought together the new recruits and the paratroops into the Near Royal Army.
In fact, I couldn't help but notice the enemy if I went to war. With large supplies moving and stockpiling them, no matter how much I gathered and trained my troops, I couldn't hide them.
Moreover, the Kingdom of Lysen was clearly the single most powerful country in the world, so it felt as if the dragon was crouching.
The heavy and massive movement was enough to surprise the surrounding countries, even if it was a small movement.
And when Lauren's duc Lewis hits Lauren with a hefty tax, it's obvious that no one will ever see him coming.
It's like, "Why are you doing this to us all of a sudden? 'It was the same situation.
There were no strangers on the North continent that Lewis was originally an Independent Lord and became the envelope of Albrecht. Lower ground people notice that King Lysen is after them.
What can't I do to survive? Lorraine's lords have sent envoys to Albrecht.
Albrecht was sitting on a new throne between the famous split thrones, and beneath the altar were two sides: Richard, Salvatore, Einhardt and the commander of the guard.
“King of all knights, King of the Crusaders, King of all mercenaries, King of Lyssen. Be respectful."
Richard said solemnly, seeing the envoy.
Then he grew more beards than his short brown hair, and the knight who was almost as big as Hermann knelt on his right knee.
“Robert, Knight of Giselebert, King of Trier. ”
The low ground was still the town where two or three lords lived with the king.
Funny thing is, Trier's king was officially the envelope of Louis, Lauren's Duke.
A long time ago, they had freed themselves from the influence of the Luis' Nancy family, and were at their own disposal with the king.
In other words, the monarch was a duke, and the official was the king. It was an example of the kind of shit Lauren was in.
“I've come a long way. Stand up.”
When Albrecht spoke, a knight named Robert appeared. The pride was not that man. Albrecht had a bit of a talent appetite, but endured it.
People in Lauren's Low Lands all have warrior temperaments because they fought amongst themselves on a fictitious day.
Robert is also a knight who has crossed many stages, judging by the large splendor and the small scars on his face.
“Yes, what is King Giselebert's message? ”
In a way, the Kingdom of Lysen is an emerging kingdom, and they have long since killed the king.
So Albrecht was a country as ugly as Licence and a tribal bonanza.
Robert was surprised that Albrecht, who had endless majesty and power, was not arrogant, but respected his king. But not out in the open.
He tightened his breath, fixed his eyes, and carried out his duties as a worthy and solemn emissary.
“Save your family, guarantee your land rights, and I'll pay your taxes. Instead, I would like to dedicate it to His Majesty, not to Duke Louis. ”
Albrecht was a bit of a delicacy at first, but he was actually a bit sensitive. Because no matter how close they were to the shell, they were Luis' tomb.
Albrecht puts his arm around the bracelet and grabs his beard and thinks for a moment. Then Richard, who brushed his red hair neatly, stepped on his eyes.
“Hey, Richard. What should I do?”
Richard suddenly turns to Albrecht as he is called. I was a little embarrassed. But as soon as he regained his composure, he thought for a moment and said,
“Paying taxes means your service. Then I think we should give up on the king. Then you'll have to take your place separately. ”
“And?”
“Rest of you, the seats don't look right. ”
Albrecht smiles a little. That was enough. You don't need to hear the rest of it. It was not easy to be beaten once you were ready for war.
There was already a settling cost, and it cost money again to dispose of a bottle or food. Moreover, it was not just the expense of the Kingdom, but the expense of the entire kingdom.
In other words, war cannot be bitten, and it moves forward as planned. It meant that they could see the situation and capture it, kill it, or do whatever they wanted while asking for a way.
“I can't give up on the king. Our honor and pride do not permit it. ”
Robert frowned and said to Richard, Albrecht liked Roberts, who spoke confidently in front of himself, but thought he was a little naive, like any other knight of this age. He was far from running around like a merchant.
“You never proved that honor and pride to me. What will you prove it with? ”
Robert glanced at Richard and said, looking at Albrecht.
“A knight's pride is nothing but a battlefield. When I am summoned by the king, I will always raise my army and run to the battlefield to prove my valor. ”
Albrecht likes the pure line of the village knights. He applauds without even knowing it.
Peek-a-boo.
Albrecht applauds immensely, and the people in the intestine look at Albrecht.
Even when he was expelled from Calteren, Albrecht was like Robert now. The only one who had a body was a hillbilly knight, who used to be run over by Zigmunt.
Robert was a little different from Albrecht at the time. I looked confident but did not lose respect. I overlooked Giselebert's decision as an envoy.
But no matter how much Robert liked it, the line had to be drawn clearly.
Albrecht leans to the side slightly, elbows up on his armrests, pointing to Robert with his fingers.
“I'll take that as a king, but only within the Trier. You will be treated as a duck outside of Trier. ”
‘King in’ and ‘King of’ were in fact different meanings. If Albrecht was King of Lysen, Giselebert was the concept of King in Trier. It was kind of a government.
Robert looks straight at Albrecht for a moment. The thick eyebrows and rich beards that covered the lips were covered with clumsiness.
I don't know if he's thinking of an answer or trying to figure out Albrecht's intentions, but Robert replied shortly after.
“I'll pass it on to my king. ”
The answer was to wait.
“You have two months. If you accept the terms, King Giselebert will have to come himself. ”
It was a somewhat excessive demand, but it was the least we could do to build a trust relationship.
“I'll pass on that as well. ”
A smile appeared on Albrecht's lips. The knight was certainly different from the balding merchants.
It was clear that it was refreshing and disconnecting. It's not, it's just a reserve unless it's for you to decide.
Albrecht nods and shakes his hand. Robert looks down at Albrecht with his hands on the sword of the waist dance, and steps out of the hall.
“Next, please. ”
Albrecht told Salvatore: Salvatore looks toward the corner of the hall, and the servant leaves the hall.
There were only five people in the low area waiting in the reception room. Robert was one of them.
The trumpet doesn't even sound like a march, but they come to surrender on their own. Whatever it was, it was best to win without fighting.
Albrecht made similar promises to them, and sent Luis a letter to appease him himself. Now that this is happening, it meant not to be too afraid.
I don't know what he would think, but it was clear that Lauren had long since strayed from the Luis family's influence.
Albrecht sent envoys to Anglia first, because diplomacy sounded good. When we set out from the north, we were told to mobilize troops to respond.
I don't know how they would react, but the reaction itself could tell if they were enemies or allies.
But Anglia was a little bit more complicated, and she was the mother of Rosamund and the king of all time. What if we could turn them against us?
As a monarch, Albrecht had hoped to react positively because he was once the protector of Anglia.
But Anglia's answer was unexpected.
