    Whispering softly, he looked away.  explain,

    "Your Majesty, are youpreparing to attack that city?"

    A glass of perfectly chilled wine was handed into his hand, and the girl standing next to him asked softly.

    "I have no interest in touching that place." The young king smiled. He did not drink the glass of wine. He just shook the silver cup gently and squinted his eyes slightly, as if enjoying the mellow aroma of the wine: "In that city  There are too many troubles, and they are too terrible Fortunately, there is no Edward to unify it, so it can't exert much power for the time being. But as long as there is a little external force, it can swallow up most idiots until even the dregs are left.  Aren¡¯t you going to come down a little bit?¡±

    After a pause, he shook his head and said: "This kind of stupid thing is just right for the Imperial people to do. When they consume some of the power of Burgundy City, they will naturally consider my conditions."

    "I'm just worried that Alex Wilder won't be fooled. There are many capable people around him. Will he have doubts about this matter? The dangers involved in attacking a city guarded by a military force are foreseeable.  Yes." The maid suggested.  But from beginning to end, she kept her head lowered even when she spoke.

    "He is not an idiot, but Burgundy is too important to him now." The young king smiled sarcastically: "The central part of the empire has never been a major source of iron ore, and neither is the other side of the capital area.  What he has access to now. Burgundy's armor has become his scarcest resource. So if he wants to fight us, a city that can produce armor and weapons in large quantities is too important to him. Not to mention Burgundy.  The iron armor produced in Burgundy is still the best in the world so far. Another reason is that he knows that the city of Burgundy is looked after by the assassin Marilyn. But the assassin is not here now, and he has three in his hands.  The newly promoted '** Master'."

    "Of course. The newly promoted Grand Prix is ??also a Grand Prix. He must want to create an established fact and then negotiate terms with Grand Prix Marilyn. However, he has no idea that the city of Burgundy still has  There is a high priest, a sword master, and a lich. The more than two hundred artillery pieces alone, as long as they are operated properly, are enough to crush their traditional armies."

    The young king sneered: "Information. Information, in war, a friend of mine once said that information is a condition equal to strength. It is even more powerful than the strength of the army, the strength of the country, and logistics.  Guarantee can determine the outcome of a war, and the competition for information is a war far away from the battlefield, without smoke and blood."

    "So, as long as we have the information, the war will be possible?"

    "There is no guarantee that the war will be won. Because in it, everyone may become the key to changing the outcome. Even God cannot completely grasp everyone's subtle thoughts. That is no longer what the human mind can accomplish.  ." Taking a sip of the cold wine in the cup, the young king said:

    "However, although there are countless conditions that determine the outcome of a war, if you can look at the overall situation, you can find that the outcome of a war is often decided before it begins, unless something unexpected happens.  situation, otherwise the deviation in the outcome would be minimal.¡±

    "Is this what your friend said?"

    The young king was startled, and then laughed: "Yes, he said it, you know? He once told me many of these things. I never cared about it at that time, but later I had the opportunity to practice it.  , I realized that what he said was actually reasonable, but when he told me this, he was actually only ** years old, can you believe it? "

    The girl smiled and said nothing.

    Because she has heard this sentence many times, but it seems hard to believe that a person can know so many truths at such a young age.

    "So, when you decided to attack the empire, you knew you had won?" She asked after a moment of silence.

    "No, with all the strength combined, I am actually almost guaranteed to lose The reason why I won is because there have been many unexpected changes on the empire's side, such as the fall of the Imperial Master and the emergence of the Imperial Electors.  , and the death of His Majesty the King.¡±

    "I heard that His Majesty is still alive."

    "If a king cannot control his subjects, then he is as good as dead."

    The young king drank the wine in the glass nonchalantly: then he reached out and took out a crystal.

    The luster swam on the crystal, and finally outlined layers of pictures, which were fiery red flags flying in the air, and the picture immediately zoomed out, revealing a line of marching human cavalry under the flags, carrying  The dark red armor with golden edges sparkles in the sun, like firelight, but?Different from ordinary knights, there are no spears hanging on their horses, nor thick eagle shields. Even the weapons are not uniform knight swords, but are mixed with axes, warhammers and even scimitars.

    Only the fiery runes on the flag explained their identities.

    ¡­¡­

    The flag fluttered lightly in the wind with the pace of the horses. The bright red flag danced like a flame, and the golden runes were the core of the flame.

    Sukhoi Fierro Ferdinand narrowed his eyes slightly, the color of the flame reflected in his pupils, but the slightly dim sky around him seemed a bit heavy and void.

    The weather is very sunny.

    The dark color comes from a layer of water mist caused by magic.  Sukhoi knew that it was a type of illusion - although the area was very large, it was actually just a deception to make the surrounding trees look denser and cover up some sounds. In this way, as long as people were a hundred feet away,  From a distance, it would be difficult to clearly see the military formation covered by this magic.

    However, such a simple illusion will produce ripple-like distortions in the line of sight. Therefore, the army cannot even advance on the flat road, and can only choose the barely opened wasteland on both sides of the road. Fortunately, it is late summer, and the nearest  It hadn't rained for a while, and the wasteland on both sides of the road wasn't very difficult to navigate.

    ??The Feiyan Knight's gaze moved forward through the front line of the military formation and fell on a simple carriage. The layers of water mist spread outward from there.  The two horses pulling the car just maintained a trot speed, turning the followers' progress into a slow canter.

    Can¡¯t it be faster?

    Casting this spell also requires full concentration.  This is as fast as we can get.

    Sukhoi pursed his lips and did not say this question out loud - because he could completely guess it.  What kind of answer will you get?

    "The scout's report is nothing unusual."

    The sound coming from the side and rear made Sukhoi turn his eyes and nodded slightly to his deputy, the female knight, and then heard her complaint as expected: "My Grand Commander, you should know that they  There is no way that our scouts could run such a far distance and engage in such boring illusions. What¡¯s the use? A fifty-mile journey is already over with a charge, so how effective can they be in defending?¡±

    Sukhoi smiled slightly but did not speak.

    Yes, they have at least more than a hundred powerful mages. Of course, such a simple illusion is unlikely to have any meaningful impact on them - but this is just a prelude in the plan, as long as they shorten their time as much as possible  response time.  That's enough.

    Unfortunately, the effect is actually very limited.

    In order to save the consumption of spell slots, this illusion was jointly performed by some mages with low abilities. Of course, they cannot make too many demands This speed of action can of course also ensure the minimum loss of manpower and horsepower.  It's just that the long time and tense atmosphere have a big impact on morale.

    "Of course it doesn't make sense Those idiots around His Majesty who live on empty wages never go to the battlefield and rely on random plans. How can it be meaningful?"

    A charming and melodious voice took over, but it made Sukhoi frown slightly.  He looked at the white-robed woman riding a white horse, slowly approaching.  He pulled his reins imperceptibly, causing his mount to move forward more than a horse's length.  But the voice followed him like a shadow, drilling into his ears clearly word by word: "Oh I feel very annoying after thinking about it. We have to fight that monster again, and we take the initiative to find trouble for him!"

    "Don't you always say you want to take revenge?"

    "Revenge is a very noble thing. Don't compare it with those mindless killings, okay?"

    Regarding the question of the vice-captain of the Scarlet Flame Knights, the regimental commander of Withering White Phoenix snorted without courtesy: "Being able to kill the enemy is the foundation of revenge, but with such a small number of people like us, we want to  If you face that monster, you will die if you think about it You don't know at all, right? That guy just has a big ship flying in the sky. Once he launches an attack, even the dragons are no match for him! Do you think the Empire's Heavenly Ting?  How did the tower fall down? It was completely destroyed in the attack of that ship! Ah, think about it, I am really crazy, why do I always get involved with this monster? It was obviously not easy last time  Ran out"

    "Isn't he dead? The ship has also left this plane with the army. This is already known to everyone. We are just going to attack a city." For this captain  Endless hugs?, the female knight named Nicole has long been impatient. If the other party's status was not so high, she might have had him beheaded for disturbing the morale of the army, or even a duel with her.

    ????????????????????? That kind of complaint is like a hook, pulling out the experience of confronting ¡®that person¡¯ again and again from the bottom of her heart, and also bringing out some tiny wounds with blood.

    "Is it so easy for a being like him to just die? What's more, the ship just left and wasn't destroyed. Who knows if it will take the ** Master with it?"  The ground suddenly appeared again? Do you want me to remind you that there are many return spells in magic that can be triggered at any time? "

    "The return spell can only be limited to one person."

    "Ha! Ha! Ha! Naive! So naive!"

    ¡­¡­

    Sukhoi was silent.

    As a knight, it was obviously meaningless to discuss magic with the warlock lady, but Sukhoi did not stop his companion - it was good to be able to let the warlock lady focus on one place.  Things, at least I don't have to listen to her "must fail" remarks anymore.

    However, it is really a worrying question how much power the Withered White Phoenix Legion can exert in the battle this time.

    Withering White Phoenix is ??a legion that relies on the power of the undead to fight.  The Imperial Elector Legion possesses extremely strong magic and assault capabilities However, in the eyes of Marquis Sukhoi, their leader.  The character of this sorceress greatly reduced the power of this legion She was simply a speculator, and she never cared about the country in her heart.  Loyalty to His Majesty the King, appearing here is just a habit of following the actions of the strongest.  Now, the new empire's Prince Alex Wilder still has the most powerful military force and the broadest territory in the empire. Among the many princes, she is most likely to succeed in seizing the throne. However, if the new empire declines, she will inevitably betray Jue immediately.  Show no mercy.  The issue of maintaining the imperial bloodline orthodoxy will never be considered.

    In fact, if it weren¡¯t for the rift between her and the leader of the Thunder Red Dragon after the last battle, she might still be in the capital area.

    However, what she said is undeniable.  There is a certain truth to this.

    Burgundy, this city that fell from the sky, was originally quiet.

    Gradually, however, the power displayed by this city has become impossible to ignore.

    In a little more than a year, they took in more than 50,000 imperial subjects. This number was not considered too high, but for an originally small city.  It's really a kind of swallowing - the city's walls were expanded twice, seemingly overnight. If it is speculated at this speed, they want to double or even triple the population is just a matter of willingness.

    And once the population expands.  What will inevitably follow is an increase in military strength.

    If it is just an ordinary city-state, there is no need to worry about such a problem, because soldiers need more than just population.  We still need training and weapons.  A series of things such as armor and food are needed.  Yet Burgundy, the city soon proved.  She is not an ordinary city-state.

    After the arms trade began, they provided the new empire with more than 10,000 sets of exquisite half-armors, the same number of helmets, one-handed swords and spears in just one month!  According to reliable information, they also delivered the same number of weapons to the capital area of ??the empire, and even to the hands of ordinary nobles.

    This completely upsets the balance.

    Although this kind of armor is called "half-body armor" by the manufacturer, in Sukhoi's view, its protective capabilities are almost the same as some ordinary full-body armors, but it does not use some complicated armor pieces to cover the elbows and knees.  It is just connected to the ankle and wrapped, but the weight of this kind of armor is about one-third lighter than ordinary full-body armor, so it can be lined with a set of chain mail to obtain complete protection.

    Although the weight has been reduced, the protective ability of the fully covered shell armor will never be inferior to an ordinary full-body armor. Sukhoi once observed it carefully and knew that the secret lies in the armor.  The folding of layers of radial lines increases the metal's protective ability by at least half. Although there is no magic protection, the thrust of an ordinary long sword is almost completely useless against this kind of carapace. Even a large ax must be used up.  Only with all your strength can you cut through the layer of iron sheet that is only a quarter of an inch thick and mixed with some fine gold. You can imagine how much such armor can significantly improve the combat effectiveness of an ordinary soldier.

    Of course, for a knight like Sukhoi, what really shocked him was not the exquisite style of these armors, but the armor's skirt, deck, gauntlets, helmet, everything in each set was unique.  Exactly the same, placed together to observe the chamber, ??You can notice that they are almost exactly the same, so the array of soldiers wearing them in an organized manner is full of a special kind of intimidation when moving, which is breathtaking;

    And their prices are simply unbelievably cheap.

    At the beginning, a set of armor could be exchanged for 10,000 pounds of flour. After that, it gradually dropped over time. In the latest batch of exchanges, it even dropped to only about 300 pounds of grain.  The level of a pair of armor - even if food during war times is indeed a precious resource, it cannot be compared with a set of armor that is truly worth a thousand gold!

    Even iron ore is not that cheap!

    However, what this kind of cheapness brings to the new empire is no longer the excitement of improving its military equipment, but more of a vague fear.

    Being able to obtain war weapons sold on such a scale is certainly a kind of proof and necessity, but from another perspective, isn't this a danger?  You must know that this means that Burgundy no longer needs to worry about the increase in power these weapons bring to the empire. Such confidence is really terrifying.

    With such a city at your side, no ruler, no matter what kind of person he is, can sleep peacefully.

    What is even more troublesome is its relationship with Tuminis.

    Although I don't know if it was the rumored "failure of the floating city test" that caused such a city to fall in the center of the distant empire, but that reason is meaningless. The key is that it is Burgundy and belongs to Burgundy.  The city of Tuminis is also a city with a magician and a magician tower

    A large teleportation circle that can be used by Tuminis, this is a problem that can drive Prince Alex Wilder crazy (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
