Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

The cold winter wind blew through the treetops, and the sharp horns woke up the hibernating squirrels. They poked their heads out of their dens warily, seemingly holding a half-eaten hazelnut in their arms.

Not far away, an extremely fierce siege battle was taking place.

The dry grass blades in winter provide natural fuel for the blazing fire, and the billowing black smoke fills the air with a pungent smell.

Freddy Crook held a broad sword and stared solemnly at the battle not far away.

Behind him, the flag of the Principality of Sidon was flapping in the howling cold wind. The eagle-headed snake-body two-winged beast on the flag was the symbol of the Principality of Sidon. It seemed to be bringing peace to the Sidonian soldiers fighting on the battlefield. Not obvious gain Bu.

The strength of the Cecil people far exceeded the imagination of the Sidonian general. Even though Freddy Crook's sneak attack gave the Sidonian army an advantage at the beginning, the Cecil people were still there. Within a few days, they stabilized their position and defended the city.

Weapons and equipment from the Idar people are a key factor in Cecil's army being able to stabilize its position!

When the peaceful Sidonian army faced those rifles that could shoot magic rays for the first time... they were really stunned.

But after all, what the Cecil people got were old rifles that had been eliminated by Idar's army. When the soldiers of the Principality of Sidon raised the makeshift shields made of door panels and wooden signs, the power and effect of these weapons would be revealed. been greatly restricted.

so……

On one side was Cecil's army with obsolete weapons, and on the other was the Sidonian army who had been blowing sand in the desert for most of their lives. The two sides fought back and forth, which was extremely fierce.

Flying arrows scattered in the air, and the soldiers carried the ladders on their shoulders and charged again and again.

General Freddy Crook watched a Sidonian soldier fall, but he could only grit his teeth and order the attack.

Because as long as this city is captured, the vast southern plains of the Cecil Kingdom will be exposed to the Sidonian army, and the soldiers of the Sidonian Principality can pick the fruits of the war in their own way after a bitter battle.

"Damn it! Don't those Sidonian soldiers know their battle losses? The battle damage ratio has reached this level, and they can still charge?!"

On the city wall, General Cecil cursed.

Although Cecil's army suffered heavy losses, the Sidonian army that attacked the city obviously suffered even greater losses!

But now even the Cecil people who were defending the city were almost unable to hold on, but the Sidonian soldiers attacking the city were still swarming up in a steady stream.

This is unreasonable! Very unreasonable!

However, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, these Sidonian soldiers in front of them are the enemies that the Cecil people must face. General Cecil who supervised the battle killed dozens of soldiers who wanted to escape before they could barely hold on. formation.

He was a little emboldened and shouted: "We can't abandon the city! Reinforcements are on the way!"

And the response to him was just a sparse and weak response.

…

The other side of the battlefield.

General Freddy Crook seemed to be aware of the fatigue of Cecil's army, and he had a rough estimate of the battle losses of Cecil's army: "The whole army is pressing forward! The Cecil people are about to be unable to hold on. Got it!"

The sharp horn was blown again, and at this moment, a vague light seemed to flash in the eyes of the Sidonian soldiers.

The war was fierce, but in fact, even the general Freddy Crook himself did not know why he launched an attack on the Cecil Kingdom.

The order from the Archduke of Sidon was abrupt and confusing.

You know, just half a month ago, Freddy Crook was just an idle earl in the Principality of Sidon.

Although he had rich experience in military training, the long-term peace of the Principality of Sidon had long since allowed him to leave the military and live a life of a nobleman without shame.

However, just when he was thinking about how many banquets he would hold next month and how many nobles he would invite to have fun together, the Simpson family's attendants brought him an order from the Grand Duke of Sidon to attack the Kingdom of Cecil!

When he first received this order, the earl thought that the head of the Grand Duke of Sidon had been knocked by the church's magicians. The devout Grand Duke of Sidon was a believer in the God of Light. He was always surrounded by bishops and priests. accompanying.

Fred Crook did not know whether a sack of cement was actually poured into the head of the Archduke of Seton.

But in any case, the spirit of contract between nobles made him only obey the instructions and arrangements of the Grand Duke of Sidon, and fight as long as he wanted. Anyway, he was not the one who died.

"General Freddy..."

An unpleasant voice suddenly brought Freddy back to reality: "The army of the Principality of Sidon is still very strong. These civilian soldiers are not as weak as you said before, right? ?”

"You are right, Bishop Wells."

Freddy's face seemed a little ugly, but he still nodded and turned his gaze to his side.

A well-dressed bishop was standing there. He was wearing a pentagonal crown with light red silk thread as stitching. The light golden cross hanging around his neck was shining with eye-catching light.

Freddie Crook was not a devout Christian, and if possible, he would even like to take off his shoes and give the bishop a hard spanking.

The Church of Light must have poured two vats of psychedelic soup into the Grand Duke of Sidon, if such a thing really existed. General Freddy thought to himself.

Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out why his Grand Duke would choose to attack the Cecil Kingdom at this time.

after all……

Although the Grand Duke of Sidon is a believer in the Church of Light, and the Church of Light has been designated as the state religion by the Simpson family, in Freddy's eyes, the Church of Light, which ignited the entire St. Lawrence, seems to be more offensive than the Kingdom of Cecil. , and it is more worthy of your own vigilance.

Moreover, Bishop Wells is called a missionary, but he is actually a supervisor.

Freddy didn't even know what method the bishop used to make the soldiers under his command so unfamiliar that he could resolutely attack the city despite such a high battle loss ratio.

You know, even though the army of the Principality of Sidon had been trained for a long time in the desert, it had never shown such combat power.

"General Freddy Crook, I remember... you are not a believer in the Church of Light, are you?" Standing beside Freddy, Bishop Wells suddenly said.

Hearing this, Freddy couldn't help being slightly stunned. He was about to answer, but a bad premonition emerged in his heart.

He finally took a deep breath and said, "No."

Looking at the Sidonian soldiers gradually climbing up the city wall not far away, Bishop Wells nodded calmly.

…

The war in the western part of the continent is not a secret, at least not in the Idar Empire.

Through the Idar CIA's intelligence network that gradually spreads across the continent and the application of long-distance communication devices at critical moments, in some cases, Idar City can receive news even faster than King Cecil.

The news published in the "Idar Daily" caused the war in the Cecil Kingdom to attract the attention of a large number of civilians.

The common people who have just learned how to spell and read may not know where the Kingdom of Cecil is located, but what they know is that the Kingdom of Cecil is an ally of the Idar Empire, and there is even a village on Jingshi Road in Idar City. At the Cecil Embassy!

For a moment, from farmers to craftsmen, from fishermen to traders, almost all Idar people's eyes were fixed on the dynamics of the Idar Government Office and the movements of the Idar royal family.

Jingshi Road, Idar House Building.

"The Principality of Sidon's invasion of the Kingdom of Cecil is a disruption to the peaceful situation on the mainland! It is a contempt for the sovereignty and territory of the Kingdom of Cecil! As allies of the Cecil people, we must condemn this atrocity!"

"Condemn? We should send troops!"

"The Principality of Sidon doesn't know how to respect human rights at all! They have deprived civilians of their right to life. This is a violation of order and rules!"

"Send troops! Send troops!"

"There is a big conspiracy behind this! This must be the method of the Church of Light, a response to the air attack on the Holy City! The cowardly Church does not dare to compete with the Idar people, so it turns to attack our allies! This is simply shameless! "

"Send troops! Send troops!"

"..."

During these days of becoming members of the House of Commons, civilian members of the House of Commons have already understood their rights and obligations, and have understood the civilians standing behind them.

They want to raise the voice of the common people in the House of Commons, and let the common people have a channel to make their voices heard!

so……

Angry arguments, high-pitched arguments, clapping and slamming on the table...

The members of the House of Commons have only superficially learned the etiquette of the nobility after becoming members of the House of Commons, so in order to express their opinions, they almost use all kinds of face-to-face output and communication.

All in all, the Idar House of Commons has completely exploded.

Even as early as Cecil's envoy, Viscount Danielson, came to the palace to pay an audience and the news of the sneak attack on the Cecil Kingdom came out, the parliamentarians started talking about it.

Except for the members of the House of Lords who relied on their aristocratic status to maintain restraint, the members of the House of Commons had already become quarrelsome.

While the House of Commons was quarreling, the Idar Palace was not calm either.

President of the Council of Governors Ford, Director of the CIA in Idar Krell, Secretary of Defense Sarah Coren...

These high-ranking Idar officials know much more information than the members of the House of Commons, so... at least for today's Idar Empire, the voices of the House of Commons are more of a reference for the common people.

"The sneak attack in the Principality of Sidon is suspected to be related to the Church of Light." Clay paused and added: "What I want to say is... this is definitely not a conspiracy theory!"

"To what extent has the Church of Light penetrated the Principality of Sidon?" Bruno asked seriously.

"The Simpson family has always been inextricably linked to the Church of Light, and it is said that this time, the church directly sent the bishop to the frontline of the Sidonian army!"

Bruno's eyes became solemn: "You mean... the Church of Light has taken control of the military power of the Principality of Sidon?"

Hearing this, everyone present also turned their attention to Krell, the "intelligence chief".

"It is not yet certain whether it is completely in control, nor is it clear whether the current Grand Duke of Sidon has already become a puppet like Pitzman, but... the Church of Light can definitely influence the decision-making of the Principality of Sidon, and the extent of its influence Very deep." Claire wiped the sweat on his forehead and replied cautiously.

"Then if that's the case..."

As he spoke, Bruno stood up from the throne carved with gryphon sculptures and walked slowly to the center of the main hall. There was an extremely finely made sand table, which carefully outlined the territories of each power.

Bruno stretched out his hand, and the magic power around him seemed to be condensing into his palm. With a flick of his finger, the flags and lines symbolizing the boundaries in the sand table began to change quietly:

"...Then let's just consider the worst-case scenario. We will be the military and political power of the Principality of Sidon, which is completely controlled by the Church of Light, and the Simpson family has become the puppet of the Church of Light."

"Next... in your opinion, how should the Idar people respond?"

Hearing this, the palace fell into silence. Only one griffin cub emerged from the gap under the sand table. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net tilted its head and looked at the people in front of it sleepily, then fluttered its wings that had not yet fully opened. Jumped into Bruno's arms.

This is not because they dare not speak out, but because everyone present is thinking and brewing their own words.

"We should support Cecil Kingdom!"

finally……

Old Ford's words broke the silence in the palace.

"The Cecil Kingdom must not fall. This is not just because the queen of the Idar Empire comes from the Cecil royal family."

"If the Cecil Kingdom falls, then the Church of Light can devote all its forces to the eastern battlefield. We will face the Church of Light alone, which has integrated the entire central and western regions of the continent."

On the side, Luobida, who is in charge of commercial and economic transactions, also added in a timely manner:

"Moreover...the Kingdom of Cecil is not only an ally of the Idar people, but also an important dumping ground for Idar products."

"With the fall of the Rez regime and the fall of the imperial capital, Saint Lawrence, the Kingdom of Cecil has become one of the few dumping grounds for Idar industrial products."

Bruno did not answer, but turned his attention to his Minister of Defense: "What do you think of Sarah Coren?"

"I don't think we can support the Cecil Kingdom."

Sarah Coren paused, looked at everyone's slightly surprised eyes, and continued: "It is an unrealistic fantasy to directly support the Kingdom of Cecil. The current strategic situation makes it impossible for the Idar army to carry out such long-distance operations. Rush.”

"So what I mean is..."

"Don't worry about the Kingdom of Cecil and the Principality of Sidon. We will directly launch a full-scale decisive battle against the Church of Light! If the Church of Light really takes full control of the Sidonian army, they will naturally send troops back for reinforcements!"
