I have a lot of wives

"Just ask Lu Cheng, the Welf family has 30,000 troops. As well as many legends, it is beyond my ability."

"Hmm..." Yukino nodded, "So now, there is only one last question left." She said:

"What if King Knut doesn't want to fight with the troops of the Holy Faro Empire?"

"Don't worry about that."

This time, it was not Makoto who answered Yukoshita Yukino, but Megumi Kato on the other side.

Seeing that the dialogue between Lu Cheng and Yukoshita Yukino ended smoothly, she said: "Because of King Knut, I will never give up Ice Harbor anyway."

...

The development of the next thing is just as Kato Megumi thought--

When the ice port was breached, King Knut was placed in a situation where he could not advance or retreat.

——Can he hand over Princess Xueni, who is sheltered by the archbishop and the saint, and possesses the strength of the intermediate legend?

She has accepted the baptism of the Balanced School and is the strongest among the young generation in the local area.Both prestige and status are there.

King Knut suddenly discovered that she was no longer the kid he could play with with just a few words.

This made King Knut feel very uncomfortable, but helpless.

And in the case of refusing to hand over Princess Xueni, the army of the empire will not retreat anyway--

The Welf family wants to expand its territory, and the Seven Provinces Alliance hopes to bring the Ice Harbor, the largest trade rival in the North, Ice Sea and Spirit Sea regions, to a despair.To completely occupy the entire region's trade and obtain huge profits.

This is also the reason why the emperor fluttered a little behind, and they rushed forward without hesitation and started the war.

As for the emperor's own thoughts, it is not important.

"You can only fight."

"Well, yes, we can only start a war."

After considering all considerations, King Knut came to a conclusion.Regardless of how he should defeat a demigod-he still thinks this is Lu Cheng's true strength-

Even if he took 10,000 steps and said that he really defeated Lu Cheng, and then offered Princess Xueni both hands, could a war be ended?

Do not make jokes.

Such a cowardly behavior will only be ridiculed by enemies and allies.And thinking that he is a scumbag, he rushed forward more greedily, trying to tear his own flesh and blood.Without letting them treat themselves tolerantly.

At that time, the elves and dwarven allies will be disappointed to leave, and even many tribes, clan lords will refuse to give orders to him again-especially those who devoutly believe in the Holy Light.

For the sake of land and profit, the Seven Provinces Allied Forces and Henry of Swabian will not stop their actions.

At that time, everything will be over.

He would be deceived into disarming himself like Germany at the end of World War I, and then be defeated by the enemy.Humiliated, losing power and everything.

There must be war.

And it must be won.

Only by winning this war can the Kingdom of Fenris win the respect and corresponding status.

Otherwise, the Kingdom of Fenris can only become a vassal of the Holy Farrow Empire.

He consumed so many political resources and carried out so many diplomatic efforts, and finally established the ice port that the alliance laid down.

And if you want to win this war, you can’t do without the help of Archbishop Lu Cheng anyway——

Without the support of a demigod, the Kingdom of Fenris must stabilize its alliance with the archbishop.

This made him have to lower his noble head in front of Lu Cheng.Lu Cheng was appointed as the field marshal of the Kingdom of Fenris and the prime minister of the court.He even promised Lu Cheng that as long as this war is won, he is willing to let Princess Xueni get the title of crown prince——

Of course, Lu Cheng didn't think the king's promise was more sincere.

——If it is a person with little insight and historical knowledge, he may be fooled.But Lu Cheng grew up listening to the story of Li Shimin and Zhu Di.

How did Li Yuan blame Li Shimin back then?How did Zhu Di tell Zhu Gaoxu?Lu Cheng just laughed at Knut's little tricks--

What's more, Knut is worse than Li Yuan and Zhu Di.That is, he has a son himself, even a grandson.The succession to the throne of the Kingdom of Fenris is very stable, and it stands to reason that there is no turn

Anyway, everyone's interests are almost the same, and we can continue to cooperate.As for the latter, I will talk about it after the cooperation is over.

If you want to play with your mind, Lu Cheng doesn't think Knut is his opponent.The same is true for combat power.

So he lost.

Lu Cheng will also get another piece of land outside of Arbas.

Chapter 40 The Sea of ​​Ice

——In this way, the archbishop temporarily became the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and led the coalition forces south to attack Henry's army from Rua Saxony.

The latter's army marched faster than Lu Cheng thought...When Lu Cheng's army left the ice sea port to the south, but for two or three days, the forward's light cavalry and air cavalry announced that they had found their opponents.

——They are fast, have a lot of troops, and their morale is very high.Compared with the army that lacked cavalry assembled by Lu Cheng, Henry's army with the Lion Knights, Golden Fleece Knights and a large number of mercenary cavalry, this Swabian lion is obviously better in terms of mobility and impact. One chip.

Therefore, Lu Cheng stopped, moved the army to the high ground on the side of the road, camped and built a line of defense.

At the same time, the naval forces of Princess Xueni and the Allied Forces of Ice Sea also discovered the Great Fleet of the Seven Provinces Alliance outside Ice Sea Port City.

Unlike the galleys that are popular in the ice sea and have been outdated, most of the navies of the Seven Provinces Alliance are faster, more durable and stable.Including more than twenty large double-deck warships.It is densely covered with all kinds of naval artillery and a large number of excellent magicians.

"It would be better if they attacked from the sea."

Knut commented: "But if they attack from the road, the situation will become very bad."

The reason why he said this was because Lu Cheng destroyed the city wall before that.

In just a few days, Knut was unable to repair it.Can only barely use magic to build up a few earth walls as a psychological comfort.

Such a line of defense cannot stop the bombardment of artillery and magic.

To make matters worse, in order to deal with the Swabian army.Lu Cheng took away more than 20,000 of the main force of the coalition army.So at this moment, the number of King Knut's defenders was less than 10,000.That is half of the enemy.

This gave His Majesty a strange sense of absurdity in a causal cycle.

A few days ago, he was also on the offensive side, defending and racking his brains to break the city.

But now the situation is upside down. He is on the defensive side and wants to defend the city anyway.

"The Prince of Orange is an excellent commander."
