    Chapter 292: Tribe¡¯s Ambition

    The end of February, Year 187 of the Holy Light Calendar.

    The war on Far Island has reached its most critical moment.  At the negotiating table of the Alliance Parliament, envoys from Liverpool and the Principality of Florence have discussed this issue countless times, but each time they broke up unhappily.  Later, there were even records of fights during negotiations. Two messengers who were neither knights nor magicians fought each other with fists and kicks. The grace that they should have had in the past has been lost.  Went to Java.  In the face of their respective fundamental interests, both sides are completely uncompromising in their approach, and there is no room for any compromise.

    And the war on the island is also escalating step by step.  After the Liverpudlians completed the supply of the troops on the island, Miss Luna's plan to starve the Liverpudlians to death in a week was completely ruined. She had to choose to continue to fight with the second army led by Carroll with real swords and guns.  The first team fought hard.  Moreover, in order to prevent Liverpool from carrying out further reinforcements, the maritime blockade of the entire island is becoming more stringent day by day. Even passing ships will be expelled by patrolling warships. This is simply a heavy blow to the maritime trade of the Holy Cross Alliance.  We can't take a heavy blow, but there is no way, war is so ruthless.

    Regarding this escalating war, other countries in the alliance, which had originally maintained an attitude of watching the show, began to become a little restless.  They were originally divided into two camps, but they were just wrangling at the negotiation table.  However, in the war on Far Island, the people of Liverpool and Florence were in a stalemate, and the situation was even developing towards a full-scale war between the two countries.  The Huahan Knights led by Major General Draco and the Violet Lily Legion of Florence no longer maintain the peaceful attitude they had in the past on the border. Both sides have small-scale conflicts. Almost every day, there are several conflicts between the two sides.  The injuries to ten people were caused by deliberate suppression by the generals of both sides. If a real battle breaks out, no one can predict what the war will be like.

    Lin Tan's men control the two countries of Liverpool and Manchester, as well as the support of his old father-in-law, the current actual leader of the Wembley Kingdom; on the opposite side, the Principality of Florence must contend with Lin Tan's move towards them.  Further suppression, otherwise the Principality of Liverpool will make further progress in the future, so this time the attitude must not be weak.  Moreover, they have far superior naval power than Lin Tan. As long as the Wembley Kingdom does not directly intervene in the war, their fleet strength will be able to completely suppress Lin Tan.  Moreover, there is also the overt and covert support of King Maixi Lun, who has always disliked Lin Tan.  It can be said that once the Principality of Liverpool and Florence launch a full-scale war, the situation will be out of control, and it is very likely that with the support of both sides, it will evolve into a full-scale civil war for the entire alliance. This is for the alliance.  , it is simply a huge disaster.

    This problem is not difficult to see for anyone who knows something about diplomacy and international relations.  This is also the purpose of Lin Tan and Colin, the two great guilds, after conflicts arise, even if they start a war, they try to control the battle on the Far Island.  Because, in the current situation, if the entire alliance falls into chaos, it will be of no benefit to anyone.  Lin Tan is in great need of resources for development, which is why he is eager to get Yuantu Island back.  However, this is also based on the fact that he also needs a stable development environment. Otherwise, no matter how good the resources are, under this chaotic order, no one will have the possibility of development.  What can war bring but destruction and chaos, besides tears and blood?

    Other countries are also more afraid that the entire alliance will fall into war. Even the extremely bellicose King Maixilan just wants to find an opportunity to teach Lin Tan a lesson. As for civil war, he has not even considered it.  Considered.

    In the past few days, Lin Tan's Grand Duke's Mansion has received several waves of messengers.  Some were sent by Prime Minister Ericson to persuade, and some were sent by King McEllen to threaten. Anyway, there were all kinds of people.  But the current situation is beyond Lin Tan's control.  He couldn't stop at this time, otherwise not only would half of the fat he had bitten off be snatched away again, but his prestige would be gone.  The same goes for Grand Duke Colin. Asking him to give up Far Far Island is equivalent to letting someone put a nail in his throat that can pierce his neck at any time. This is also impossible for him to accept.

    It is in this situation that no one is willing to let go, and no one can let go, the pace of the war is advancing step by step towards the abyss.

    On February 17, a brigade of the Huahan Knights was attacked by the Florentines and the entire army was wiped out.  Subsequently, the Knights immediately launched a retaliatory action, attacking a camp on the flank of the Viola Legion and killing more than two hundred soldiers in it.This has become a trigger of war. Even though the generals on both sides, Draco and Barty, are trying their best to suppress the emotions of their generals and soldiers, they cannot suppress morale at this time, and they must not do anything without permission.  Fighting is not an easy thing to do.  Although the war did not start directly, the two men unanimously sent reports to their respective monarchs:

    "War has reached an inevitable attitude. Unless all problems can be solved now, all-out war will inevitably begin within three days!"

    Seeing this news, the two monarchs had different reactions.  Archduke Colin anxiously walked back and forth in the room, scratching his hair from time to time. He scolded all the waiters who came over. Until he went to bed, he could not make up his mind whether to compromise or continue the fight.  After Lin Tan received the news, he sat in his chair without saying a word. After finishing two cups of coffee, he sent a brief message to Major General Draco, who was leading the Chinese Knights: Take action as soon as possible and seize the opportunity.  Get the upper hand.  And let Robinho and Versail, who are based in Manchester, be ready to provide support.  He was even ready to go to the front line himself.

    But the next news that spread throughout the entire alliance caused both Lin Tan and Grand Duke Colin to immediately change their attitudes, and even caused the entire alliance to start to shake:

    "Yuanyu Island was lost"
