Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Rez is dead.

Although Bruno did not have much dealings with the young Norman emperor, and their relationship was far from harmonious,

but……

The news of Rez's death still made Bruno silent at this moment.

The Principality of Idar has never regarded the Third Norman Empire headed by Reitz as a strong enemy, but it is undeniable that as a member of the Alexander family, Reitz is indeed doing his best to save this empire that is on the verge of collapse. .

And what a coincidence...

Rez Alexander, the emperor of the Norman Empire, not only met Bruno, a time traveler, but also the Church of Light, which had spent hundreds of years recharging its strength!

Perhaps this is the trend of history, an unstoppable historical pace.

In half a year,

The Principality of Idar overthrew the rule of the Poulson family, and the Church of Light set fire to the royal palace of the Norman Empire.

only……

For the former, Bruno is a participant; for the latter, Bruno is a spectator.

Different perspectives bring different moods. When he decided to launch the Basel Conquest War, Bruno was more excited and excited.

Because as a participant in the Basel War of Conquest,

Bruno was certainly saddened by the death of Idar soldiers, but just like the "integrated mixed gains" and "separated mixed losses" based on the utility value function, when the gains of the Principality of Idar in the war far exceeded the price it paid when……

In Bruno's heart, there is more pleasure and joy after winning.

However this time,

As a bystander,

As a member of the aristocratic class of this era, Rez's death left Bruno speechless for a while.

Rez's death seems to have little impact on the Principality of Idar, but in fact it will make the Principality of Idar face a more severe and urgent threat of war.

after all……

The existence of Rez can attract the energy of the Church of Light to the Principality of Idar, thereby providing more time for the development of the Principality of Idar.

Bruno didn't expect Retz to be able to resist for long, as long as he could hold on until the day when Idar's army completed the installation of new equipment.

Even just one day ago, the Idar Government Affairs Office had just decided to donate a batch of weapons and equipment to Rez free of charge in the name of a friendly neighbor.

But now...it's no longer needed.

Accompanied by Mundell, Bruno slowly walked into his study with extremely complicated emotions.

"Why did Rez die suddenly?"

After a while,

Bruno, who was staring at the map solemnly, suddenly asked.

"According to the news from intelligence personnel, after the imperial capital of Saint Lawrence was captured by the Crusaders, the remaining soldiers led by Rez began to flee north, hoping to flee to the Sogné Plain north of the Albona River to regroup."

"It's just that... the church doesn't intend to let Reitz retreat peacefully. A Crusader regiment affiliated with the Church of Light is chasing Reitz and others almost day and night, all the way to the banks of the Albona River."

"Where is Marshal Teodoro? If I remember correctly, he is not only Rez's teacher, but he is also one of the few famous generals in the Norman Empire!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty the Duke, as soon as the news of the Church of Light burning the Norman Palace came out, the second prince Rez fainted. According to Rez's instructions, Marshal Teodoro had already crossed the Albona River to the Sogné Plain in advance. so……"

"So, has the Church of Light crossed the Albona River yet?"

"No."

Mundell shook his head.

The Albona River is located to the north of the Central Plains and has always been regarded as the dividing line between the Sogné Plain and the Central Plains.

Not only is its current rapid, but its surface is extremely wide, making it a more dangerous natural chasm than the Solon River.

After receiving Mundell's reply, Bruno was seen thinking for a moment and his frown gradually relaxed:

"Call all the generals with the rank of brigadier general or above who are stationed in Idar City on standby and tell Defense Minister Sara Coren that an emergency meeting of the Idar Ministry of Defense will be held in the Hanging Garden in an hour."

"yes!"

Seeing that his Duke was so solemn, Mundell naturally did not dare to delay at all, so he responded and left in a hurry.

But Bruno stood up in the study room,

He looked at the map hanging on the wall with great solemnity...

Rez died on the Albonne River.

This means that the situation on the continent has quietly changed.

This also means that this vast land stretching from the Sogné Plain in the north, to the Kelvin Basin in the south, and to the Valens Plain in the east has become an unclaimed land!

nowadays,

The soldiers of the Crusaders have already entered the Kelvin Basin,

but……

The western part of the Sogné Plain and the Valens Plain...

These vast and fertile territories have not yet been conquered by the Crusaders!

Almost the second after hearing the news of Rez's death, Bruno realized that... this might also be an opportunity for the Principality of Idar.

Rez's death will definitely leave one less shield and one less buffer between the Principality of Idar and the Church of Light.

But Reitz is dead after all!

What Bruno has to do now is to strive for maximum benefits for the Principality of Idar under the current situation, so as to restore the impact of Rez's death on the Principality of Idar as much as possible!

If nothing else,

According to intelligence brought by the Idar CIA at the same time,

The Cecil Kingdom has organized its troops in Carter Heights to prepare for war.

The Odin Empire also deployed tens of thousands of troops on the Armandche plain south of the Novkamen Mountains.

The Crusaders led by the Church of Light were devouring the fruits of victory after the war at a terrifying speed.

obviously,

Almost all the forces on the continent are staring at the vast land left by the second prince Reitz, and regard it as a piece of fat for them to fight for!

And Bruno Stuart, the Duke of Idar, is naturally no exception!

Bruno's idea is actually very simple,

Instead of letting the church get it, let yourself get it.

Even if you can’t get it yourself, you must not let the church get it!

Because in the interior of the empire, where the per capita cultural level has only reached the prenatal education stage, the brainwashing effect of the Church of Light will undoubtedly be magnified to the greatest extent.

The more land the Church of Light occupies, the more confident the Crusaders will be to attack everywhere!

and……

Bruno actually doesn’t want much,

The Basel Conquest War has more than doubled the territory of the Idar Principality, which is really causing some indigestion.

so,

Bruno is not greedy either;

As long as we can capture the western part of the Valens Plains, that will be enough!

Before that,

The Principality of Idar only occupies the eastern part of the Valens Plains, including Valens City, while the large territory in the western part of the plains is tightly held by the second prince Rez.

Although Bruno coveted that land, considering that he still needed Rez to act as a buffer, he never made any move.

And now...

Although the imperial army led by Marshal Teodoro still has the power to fight, it can't stop the eager gazes from all directions.

No fight at this time? When will it be more?

As long as Bruno can capture the entire Valens Plains, then the Principality of Idar will surely have greater strategic depth!

This has extraordinary strategic significance for the entire Principality of Idar.

…

The Idar people have never been afraid of war.

The current status of Idar Park is the result of countless Idar soldiers fighting with real swords and real guns, and it is the result of their passion and blood.

From the dispensable earldom that was huddled in the eastern part of the mainland in the past,

Nowadays, this powerful and powerful person makes the nobles and wealthy families feel in awe, and even stamping their feet can make people's hearts tremble.

Every Idar person living on this land has personally participated in this gorgeous transformation.

so……

When many generals of the Idar Principality gathered in the Hanging Garden, their eyes were all shining with boiling fighting spirit.

What Bruno needs to consider is the development of the entire Principality of Idar, and what he needs to do is to take charge of the overall situation.

And what the soldiers of the Principality of Idar have to do is to win every war,

therefore,

These Idar generals who followed Bruno all the way were already eager for a war that might break out at any time.

"Valens Plains must be taken, but the question is...how we are going to take it!"

Looking at the Idar army generals surrounding him, Bruno said in a deep voice.

Bruno's thinking is actually quite reasonable.

Although the second prince Reitz is dead,

But Marshal Teodoro still has more than 20,000 soldiers under his command.

Even if the old, weak, sick and disabled among them are eliminated, there will still be more than 10,000 fighting soldiers.

And besides that,

The famous imperial general Yellen Rudolph also has nearly 10,000 imperial soldiers in his hands.

Although the number of people is not too large, Idar's army can definitely kill them all, but...Bruno has other thoughts.

"Could it be that...the Duke wants to recruit those soldiers?" Looking at Bruno's face, Sara Coren asked tentatively.

"There is indeed such an idea."

Bruno nodded and said to everyone present:

"Although there are many forces on the mainland today, the sudden rise of the Church of Light is the common enemy we have to face."

"And these soldiers who once served under the second prince Reitz are one of the few soldiers who have fought in close combat with the Crusaders. If they can be recruited and surrendered, it will definitely be of great benefit to the Principality of Idar!"

"Moreover, most of them have experienced several extremely difficult and dangerous battles such as the Battle of the Albona River and the Battle of St. Lawrence. They are veterans with sufficient practical experience!"

Sarah Collen on the side,

I also deeply agree with Bruno’s words.

As the Minister of Defense of Idar and a former Norman general, he was very aware of the huge gap between recruits and veterans.

Veterans who have been on the battlefield have seen blood and death with their own eyes!

Even though the Idar army has completely different weapons and equipment, as well as original training methods and combat systems...

But the unforgettable memories possessed by veterans, the kind of consciousness formed after several births and deaths, are by no means comparable to any recruit!

not to mention,

Threats from the outside and the expansion of territory have made the recruitment work of the Principality of Idar extremely tense.

If we can capture the army left behind by Rez,

Then the defense pressure faced by the Principality of Idar is bound to be greatly reduced, and Sara Coren, the Minister of Defense, can also breathe a little easier.

"So... is it possible?"

"It's hard to say for Marshal Teodoro, but... I'm confident that I can convince Yellen... General Rudolph!"

Facing the questioning look cast by her lord the Duke, Sara Coren said in a deep voice.

The Coren family and the Rudolf family have always had a close relationship. Before serving as the garrison general of Mann Fortress, Sarah Coren served in the Royal Guards together with Yellen Rudolf.

"Then I'm waiting for your good news!"

Bruno nodded, then looked at the power distribution map with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"As for Marshal Teodoro...send Idar agents to try to make contact. It would be best if the old marshal can surrender and surrender to nature, but if the old marshal is unwilling...the Principality of Idar will also bring the entire Valens Plains under its rule. !”

The words fell,

Including Minister of Defense Sara Coren, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net all the Idar generals stood up suddenly and replied in unison:

"As you command!"

…

Under the protection of Idar's army,

External turmoil will never affect the interior of the Idar Principality.

Although the people of Idar will also relish the news of the death of the Norman Emperor Rez Alexander published in the Idar Journal, and will also eagerly discuss the situation in the interior of the empire,

but……

The Idar army is like a strong high wall, isolating the hardships and hardships they have experienced.

On one side, there is turbulence and chaos among the nobles, while on the other side, there is economic prosperity and social stability.

The Principality of Idar holds up a sky for the people living on this land.

And at the same time,

The people of the Principality of Idar have never let Bruno down.

During this period of more than half a year,

Idar's army conquered cities and territories outside the principality and made great achievements.

within the principality,

The hard work of farmers has made the principality of Idar more abundant in food reserves.

The painstaking efforts of the merchants and the economic policies jointly formulated by the Central Bank of Idar and the Government Office of Idar have made the business of the Principality of Idar increasingly prosperous.

The third public hospital was officially opened in Valens, and the 100th public primary school started enrolling students in Basel.

The Principality of Idar is going further and further on the road to industrialization in the magic way.

There are also more and more scientific research results born in Idar Public University.

And amidst this prosperous scene,

An ocean-going sailing ship came from afar and slowly docked at the port of Merlin District.

The international students from the Cecil Kingdom finally arrived in this land in the eastern part of the continent on the Idar sailing ship...
