    ?

    In the Old Continent, the horn of war sounded from the northwest.

    Sutilt Kingdom, capital, Kapas.

    The ancient capital was shrouded in darkness, and in the brightly lit palace, the old king Eberhard Bansain sat alone on the throne, looking at the two documents in front of him in silence.

    One of these two documents is a proposal submitted by the House of Lords regarding the promotion of Baron Sean Montel to Earl, and the other is a declaration of war to all the people submitted by the cabinet.

    "Looks like it's time to make a trade-off."

    After a long silence, the old king Albert finally stamped his iron rose mark on these two documents.

    In the past two years, due to the recovery of the magic tide and the deterioration of the environment, although the cost of transferring materials from the New World to the Old World has increased a lot, the value of the New World to the Kingdom has not actually decreased, and even has increased slightly, because the transportation costs of a large number of ordinary materials  Although it has increased and greatly reduced the original profit, there are still supernatural materials. So far, not to mention other things, the Kingdom has discovered several supernatural veins in the New World's pioneering places, including black iron veins,  There are also chalcocite veins and even a small mithril vein.

    For the kingdom, these extraordinary materials are strategic materials, even if the transportation cost is higher and the risk is higher, it is completely acceptable, but now the kingdom has to give up this benefit.

    In fact, if these two seemingly irrelevant documents hadn't appeared at the same time, the old king or the Kingdom of Sutilt might not have given up a piece of land as large as the New World so easily, at least not so completely.  net.

    It is true that Asim Bansain was seriously injured, and the kingdom temporarily lost control over the land of the New World. It is true that the Montel family has a sixth-tier title in the New World and is powerful, but with a righteous name, the kingdom is not without the ability to re-establish  After all, the kingdom has not only the royal family, but also other nobles. It's not that we can't get the sixth-order strong to go to the new continent. It's just that the pros and cons of it need to be weighed, and it's worth considering whether it's worth it.

    In this balance of interests, the full-scale outbreak of war has added an important weight to Montel's side. Under such circumstances, even though he was vaguely unwilling in his heart, Eberhard still had to reluctantly give up.  The pioneering land of the New World in exchange for the support of the Montel family.

    "The sleeping lion has woken up, what will be the final result?"

    With the iron rose's seal on it, the tense body slowed down, and the lights shone on, and Eberhard's expression was hidden in the shadows, making it difficult for people to see clearly.

    In June 1226, on this rainy day, after six years, the state of Kotea in the Free Federation was once again ignited with red flames.  The Te people actually launched a second independent uprising at this time. The most dramatic thing is that they once again took control of Kotea state as if by divine help.

    And just when the Freedom Federation was shaken by the second fall of Kotea State, the Mensa Empire, which had been silent for hundreds of years and had long since fallen in the eyes of ordinary people, declared war on the Freedom Federation. This news has been confirmed  , the whole Old Continent was shaken.

    Some people laugh at the overreach of the Mensa Empire, because although the Mensa Empire still bears the name of the empire, it is far behind the Freedom Federation in terms of economy and force.  The tide has rolled up, and the Mensa Empire with a long history and ancient cultural heritage may give birth to a new vitality under such circumstances.

    The war broke out, and the progress was beyond the expectations of many people. In just one month, the Mensa Empire actually won a state of the Free Federation, and formed a state with the Kotea State occupied by the Bolts.  linkage.

    However, at this time, the Freedom Federation also issued a statement, officially declaring war on the Mensa Empire, standing on the same front as the Freedom Federation, and this is not the end.  In a war, they stood with the Mensa Empire, and the shadow of the Church of War was faintly revealed behind them.

    The four countries fought fiercely, and the flames of war began to spread outwards. Like a spark, it completely ignited the pile of oiled dry wood in the Old Continent.

    In the next month, that is, during August 1526, more than a dozen kingdoms and duchies were involved in the war, either voluntarily or forced to join the two sides.  The continent was ignited by the flames of war.

    And now, the Kingdom of Sutilt, which is located in the southeast corner of the mainland, has also been affected, and has no choice but to participate in this war, and jointly build it with the Freedom Federation, the Bald Eagle and other kingdoms.??Aggression Alliance.

    Of course, the reason why the Kingdom of Sutilt made such a choice is because the relationship between the kingdom and the Mensa Empire has always been relatively rigid due to historical issues, and the second is because the cohesion of steam theocracy is involved behind this war.

    Driven by forces such as the Freedom Federation, the Bald Eagle Kingdom, and the Sutilt Kingdom, steam power has been widely spread on the Old Continent, and there is a faint hint of a steam tide, but if you look at it from the top down  , you will find that there is still this huge steam gap in the old continent.

    The Mensa Empire is an ancient country with a large population and vast land, but perhaps because it is too old, the Mensa Empire rejects new things like steam engines from top to bottom, even if it is a steam engine  It has proved its value with facts, but its application in the Mensa Empire is still quite limited, and it is basically concentrated on the military.

    For the approach of the Mensa Empire, the Freedom Federation, Bald Eagle, Sutilt and other countries that compete for the steam theocracy are naturally very dissatisfied, because without the huge territory of the Mensa Empire, the progress of the cohesion of the steam theocracy will be slow.  It will be greatly delayed, and may even die prematurely. Regarding this matter, several major kingdoms have negotiated with the Mensa Empire more than once, but the results are not ideal.

    In fact, before the outbreak of the war, the Freedom Federation and other kingdoms considered the possibility of military diplomacy. Since words cannot be used, they should use their fists to speak and use force to force the Mensa Empire to change, or even carve up the Mensa Empire and operate it by themselves.  , but what they didn't expect was that before they had made up their minds, the Mensa Empire had declared war on its own initiative.

    It is precisely because of this background that the scale of this war will continue to expand, sweeping the entire Old Continent in a very short period of time.

    The horn of war has sounded, but we don't know where the future will go.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
