Pioneering

Estonia raided the mainland of the Principality of Dimen from the sea, forcing Marshal Ryder of the Dimen Expeditionary Force to return thousands of miles to help.

The Estonian army led by Aisha did not have any elite soldiers, nor any particularly advanced equipment.

But Elsa herself can really fight.

Three years ago, he was an eight-ring wizard, and even if he didn't enter the nine-ring epic wizard three years later, he would not be far away.

If it weren't for Estonia's excessive predicament of foreign gods, gods, and demigods, one person with such strength would be enough to support a principality.

Aisha does not have enough military capabilities to ambush Ryder's army, analyze the terrain, study the enemy's route, choose the right terrain and timing... It is not easy to surround the spot for reinforcements.

But before the battle, Zhong Ming taught her the simplest way to defeat the enemy - cutting logistics.

Regardless of March 21, [-], first cut off all the roads that the Principality of Dimen might transport to the front line, break bridges and demolish roads, simple and rude.

Coupled with the high-frequency harassment, the troops left behind by the Principality of Dimen are simply not enough to protect the frontline logistics, and Ryder can't just eat at the enemy like the Wized Expeditionary Force led by Gide, looting everywhere in Assia .

Ryder sneakily robbed some villages and towns of the Principality of Wized, an ally, on the road, which was not enough to support the consumption of more than 3 knights eating horse chews. When they returned to the country with difficulty, they encountered wars everywhere, and the poor were in a mess. The situation of the regiment, let alone provide much supplies.

Tired, tired and hungry, this is the condition of the expeditionary force brought back by Ryder.

And Aisha's move to besiege Dimen's capital made the Grand Duke of Dimen repeatedly urge Ryder to come back for help. They were forced to face a powerful enemy and returned in a disastrous defeat, even the king's capital was in a precarious state.

At this moment, an olive branch of peace reached out to the senior officials of the Duchy of Dimen.

If there was an opportunity to make peace, and the price was only to backstab old neighbors who often dawdled, temporary allies, then would you do it?
The answer is obvious.

The reason why such a plan was made was because Zhong Ming was not prepared to swallow the entire Northern Continent with a single war.

It's not that I can't do it, it's that I don't want to do it.

Before Yaxia has not relied on its own system to cultivate enough management talents, if it forcibly eats up too much territory, it must increase its reliance on the local noble families, pay greater economic and political benefits, and let them Enter Asshai's ruling system.

The enemy is outside and the enemy is inside, the former is far more troublesome than the latter.So Zhong Ming would rather be a little more troublesome and choose to erode the entire Northern Continent step by step.

In this Northern Continent War, Zhong Ming’s expectation is to take over half of the Principality of Magzek and two-thirds of Wized through the replacement of Winkrell’s territory, and win more than 20 small principalities relying on these countries , Such a harvest is enough for Yaxia to digest for more than ten or twenty years.

The best part is that relying on cutting Winkrell's flesh to get Magzek and Wized's territory, even before officially swallowing Estonia, you can also cut a few pieces of land to the sisters Elsa and Anna, so that the theory The territorial area of ​​the mainland countries in the world is almost unchanged, and even the quality of the land has greatly increased.

This can well stimulate the appeasement psychology of all countries, so that the gods whose interests have been damaged will not go all out to find trouble with Zhong Ming. Only the world where the Sea God is injured has been achieved... and it can also completely connect the territory of Yasha.

After a generation passed, the prototype of a huge empire that was completely integrated into Asshai was born, and only then would it have the basic foundation to take over the entire Northern Continent.

Moreover, the strength that Zhong Ming can display in the material world will distance himself from the gods. He has a faint feeling about the path of spiritual cultivation. Perhaps, this brand-new path can break the barrier of being unable to display power beyond the third level in the material world. limits……

Zhong Ming is not an ordinary human monarch with a short lifespan. After a thousand years of ascension, he can completely build an immortal empire with a solid foundation and a "promised land" for himself.

Therefore, after hearing that they not only have the opportunity to avoid the shame and loss of the defeat, but also have the opportunity to make up for it from the "old neighbor"'s house, one can imagine how the high-level officials of the Duchy of Dimen will choose.

Even Ryder's strenuous opposition had no effect.

Grand Duke Dimen issued an order, and the soldiers of the Principality of Dimen, who were comrades in the same trench of the Principality of Wised not long ago, had to counterattack to the territory of Weised.

When the news reached Noord, the capital of Wized, the Principality of Dimen had already won the territory of the three provinces, and was about to return to the city of Noord with the Asshai army led by John.

Seeing that the kingdom was in danger, Grand Duke Wiserd couldn't care less about other things. While activating the hidden son attack placed in the expeditionary army and taking over Jide's position, he held his nose to welcome the "harsh" man sent by Yasha. Messenger of conditions.

In fact, it's not too much of a disadvantage, it's just a small relocation of the site by a billion points... It's nothing more than a loss in the east and compensation in the north.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. This is the ancestral property. If I cede so much land to Yasha, how can I have the face to go to the kingdom of God crowned by the Sun God to meet my ancestors after death..." Grand Duke Nils said angrily.

"You didn't lose anything. In fact, my king promised to make up for your losses from Winklell. The land in Winklell Great Plains is much richer than your current territory..." Asshai's diplomatic envoy Lei Wen persuaded, "Thinking of your ancestors, they would also praise you for your foresight and expansion, so how could they blame you..."

"However, how can Wized still have the money and materials to transfer land?

Since your country claims to have mastered Winkrel, why not directly take over the 600 million square kilometers of fertile land, but share it with us enemies? "Nils snorted coldly.

"Hey, what you said. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. How can there be a constant relationship between countries?

As for why you didn’t directly annex Winkrell, you are also a promising gentleman. Can’t you see that we in Assia have no way to directly annex Winkrell, which is several countries away and nearly three times bigger than our own in Assia? ?
Instead of looking at the fat in your mouth, it is better to swallow the bread at hand first.Do you think this sentence makes sense? said Raven.

Nils sneered: "Asshai is so majestic, I, Wized, have become bread in the hands of others, hahaha~"

Lei Wen didn't change his face, and said slowly: "You don't have a choice, do you?
Even if the main force of your country returns in time, do you think the 4 knights can match the [-] elite of Assia, and the [-] knights of the Duchy of Dimen?

The longer you drag it on, the more hungry wolves in Dimen Duchy will ruin your territory..."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, your army has killed a lot in our country and caused a lot of damage to our country. What my king means is that if you don't know how to praise, it's not impossible to spend more effort.

We keep your country and give your country a chance to recover its territorial loss from other places. To put it bluntly, we just keep a dog to bite the enemy and prevent Winkrel from making a comeback.

If the dog is disobedient, we Asshai are never short of sticks.

Or, does your country choose to stand and die as a person? "

Nils' well-maintained white and tender skin was flushed with anger, and he pointed at Lei Wen, "you you you" speechless.

"What are you?" Raven, who has always been smooth and uncharacteristically arrogant, stepped forward, raised his hand and patted the finger that Grand Duke Nils pointed at himself, "When we robbed our western province of Assia, why didn't we see you?" This wronged look?

It is His Majesty Zhong Ming's great kindness to give you a chance to be a dog now, just to let you move the kennel. I advise you not to be ignorant of flattery and seek your own death.

When the time comes when the country is ruined and your family is destroyed, and others spend the wealth handed down by your ancestors for dozens of generations, live in the palace that your ancestors repaired for generations, sleep with your elf-like wife and daughter, and kill your son, you will cry. There is no place to cry! "

"You, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you!" Grand Duke Nils had never been insulted like this before, his eyes widened, his veins bulged, and he stared at Raven with a murderous look.

Lei Wen is also complaining in his heart, and he also wants to make money with peace, but the boss's arrangement is to be a little more sloppy. Between the death of the prince who offended him and the Duke Wiserd who offended the defeated general, his choice is self-evident. Metaphor.

Lei Wen suppressed his inner fear, folded his arms around his chest, raised his head and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Niels felt greatly insulted. When did a little baron dare to ride on his head and act wildly?It is also a non-hereditary title.

Seeing Niels draw out his saber, Raven quietly restrained his smile, his feet trembled slightly under the robe, but his upper body looked confident:

"I'm laughing that Grand Duke Niels doesn't know how to count. I am a little baron, and I have lived for more than 70 years. I have enjoyed good wine, food and beauties, and I have had a position of power. I don't have many regrets.

Now my hair is starting to grey, and the rest is nothing more than decades of meaningless aging time. If you kill me, my loss is just a few decades of less enjoyment in the world. Go to the God of Wealth as soon as possible Just enjoy it in the country.

As for Grand Duke Nils, you have more than 80 square kilometers of land, control the life and death power of hundreds of millions of people, have a beautiful wife, five sons and three daughters, lovers, and illegitimate children...

I am dead, and my king promises to wash the Lawton family with blood. If I die, I can exchange the entire Lawton family with me to go to the River Styx. What is there to be afraid of if I can exchange everything owned by Your Excellency Niels? "

Lei Wen made a powerful statement with guns and sticks, and successfully cut Niels' anger. The difference between wearing gold shoes and wearing leather shoes is bigger than wearing shoes and not wearing shoes. It's not worth it to vent your anger. ah!
Niels vented his anger, and his words softened a lot: "Isn't it too much to cut the soil, more than 60 square kilometers!"

Can discuss!
"Of course..." Raven opened his mouth to negotiate, but suddenly his expression changed slightly: "I'm sorry, Grand Duke Nils, just wait a moment."

Lei Wen opened the believer's panel, found the emergency vibration message of "Divine Art. Sound Transmission", and opened it, with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Of course not," Raven said confidently, "It won't work without a baronet!"

"Anyway, the lost territory can be recovered from Winkrell. Why is Grand Duke Nils so coy? Can't you be more straightforward?"

"What news did Sir Raven receive, is it convenient to share it?" Nils was quite curious about the reason for Raven's tone change.

The believer panel developed by Zhong Ming is actually imaged in the mind of every believer. If the external playback mode is not turned on, others will not be able to see it.

"There's nothing wrong with it," Lei Wen turned on the believer's panel, and switched to the text message sent by Shenju.sound transmission just now.

[A lich appeared in the western provinces, and the tail chased and killed Wized's retreat, causing heavy losses]

"Grand Duke Niels, Grand Duke Niels?" Raven called Niels distractedly, "Some of your country's return troops are in a bad situation, and I'm afraid they won't be able to return for a while.

Do you want to consider my current price, otherwise, when Dimen's army arrives, this condition will be even more unacceptable to you. "

Niels didn't suspect that Raven was using fake news to fool him. Even if Wiserd didn't have such a "believer panel" to deliver the news, he could get it in a day or two at most. It's meaningless to lie to him. .

"Alas~" Niels let out a long sigh, full of humiliation and... the slightest bit of fear.

Lei Wen, who walked out of the palace, looked around for no one, jumped up excitedly, raised his fist with his right hand and waved: "Yeah!"

'Being a diplomat of a victorious country is so fucking cool! '

……

A few days later, in the city of Nord, which had gone through many heated debates and almost caused a coup with a knife, finally the white flag was slowly raised before the arrival of the Principality of Diemen.

At this point, the last country of the five great powers has also surrendered, leaving only the Kingdom of Winkrell, which is surging under the tide, and the Northern Continent War has basically come to an end.

John wrapped up Dimen and the army of the Principality of Wized, and quickly turned back towards the Kingdom of Winkrell.

And the great nobles of Winkrell, hearing the news from the front line that "the offensive is not going well", "the central province of Assia is in danger", and "the Duchy of Dimen plagiarized General John's flank", they also began to move around.

Especially when that damned Sartre wanted to cover up, desperately blocked these "false news" and arrested the "spreaders". the opinion of.

The opportunity is coming!

Time to get started!

"Are you sure it's true?"

"It's true, I swear on my grandfather's name!"

"Can everyone's news be wrong? Don't hesitate, the opportunity is rare! If we miss it, we will never regain everything we lost."

"Let's rescue the more than 4 prisoners of war first. They are all our ace troops. With these 4 plus more than 3 people from our families, 8 people attacked the 10 people who were scattered by Salt Ten thousand people, the chances of winning are greater."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"I have no opinion."

"Five days later, that Salt will drive the prisoners of war to deliver supplies to the front line, so it's a good time to do it."

"Fontaine, set up an ambush there."

"Yes, Fontaine is indeed the best choice, and it is also a must for them."
