Chapter 255 Alliance Meeting
The king of Swachizi, King Dusred, and envoys from ten other countries involved in the siege of the Winster-Ravana United Kingdom gathered here to discuss the plan to send troops next spring.

Due to time constraints, it is obviously impossible to start a war before winter arrives, not to mention whether the poor mobilization ability of the Middle Ages can be satisfied, the cold winter alone is enough to dispel the idea of ​​the kings going to war this year.

What's more, they also need more time to prepare, and the long months of autumn and winter just allow the kings to prepare the necessary supplies for war.

In order to show the importance attached to this gathering, King Carloman III of the Swachizi Kingdom personally convened and presided over it, and other ten countries also sent high-ranking people to participate (because they were afraid that the news would be leaked, the meeting was not held at the The Kingdom of Pravia, the initiator of the alliance, chose the farther Kingdom of Swachizi instead).

The countries participating this time are the Kingdom of Pravia, the initiator of the alliance, the Kingdom of Ramirez, which was once defeated by Richard, the Kingdom of Swachic, which provided the venue, and the Kingdom of Winster There is no grievance, but the Kingdom of Deira, the Principality of Lorge, the Kingdom of Goslan, the Kingdom of Delj, the Kingdom of Megasni, the Principality of Feil, the Kingdom of Osun, and the Kingdom of Nazareth, which were instigated by the messengers of the Pravians Tower Principality.

It is worth mentioning that the original Pravians also sent envoys to the Principality of Lasik in an attempt to draw the Lasiks into their alliance, but they were rejected by the Grand Duke of Lasik. Otherwise, Richard would face One of the two lines of battle will be more difficult-although I really don't want to admit it, but the Ramirez people are still too weak, and they haven't recovered since they were beaten by Richard.

Among the eleven countries, nine countries are in the west of the Winster-Ravana United Kingdom, they will be the main force of the attack, one country is in the east (that is, the Kingdom of Ramirez), and one country is in Cunha The northern part of the region (that is, the kingdom of Delj, known for its light infantry javeliners).In addition to the nine countries in the west, countries in the other two directions will most likely face a direct blow from Richard's anger.

……

Now, all the envoys entered the arena. They were seated in an orderly manner under the guidance of their servants, and then chatted with the envoys from other countries sitting aside.

After a long time, King Swachiqi, who was dressed in casual clothes, entered the room accompanied by his attendants. He walked to the main seat with great dignity, then sat down, and his eyes scanned the entire palace and the faces of every envoy present. He opened his mouth and said: "Dear envoys, I am King Titos of the Kingdom of Swachichi. I welcome you all to my palace to participate in the first meeting of the alliance."

After the words fell, there was tacit applause in the venue. After the applause was scattered, he continued: "The hegemony of the Winsters has seriously threatened the security of every country on the Vardasia Peninsula. They have mysterious power. Huge new weapons, their standing army far exceeds the number of standing armies of every country present, not only that, but they have savagely taken away the rich silver from our friends, the Pravians. A large silver mine. I think every envoy here can understand the hidden danger behind this matter."

"It is precisely because we understand the danger of the Winsters that we gather here today." Speaking of this, King Titos changed the subject and said, "As the organizer, I propose that we organize A general commander is selected internally as the commander who dispatches military operations for the coming year."

As soon as the words came out, the faces of all the envoys changed slightly, but they recovered quickly. Everyone immediately understood King Titos' intentions. He probably wanted to gain more benefits now. Becoming the commander-in-chief of the alliance can be foreseen not only to have the power to dispatch military operations, but also to get more shares in the distribution of spoils after the war-if you are a bit more ruthless, you can even put your own army in a safe place to enjoy the benefits. Let the military of other countries contribute.

Soon, the envoy of the Kingdom of Pravia stood up. He was the new chief of foreign affairs of the kingdom, and he was also the envoy familiar to everyone who invited to join the siege. "Your Majesty King Titos." He said: "I agree with your proposal, but I don't think that only the commander-in-chief should be elected. For the sake of fairness and justice, several deputy commanders should be appointed to jointly decide the military operations of the coalition forces with the leader."

"agree."

"agree."

"..."

The proposal of Pravia's foreign affairs chief was agreed by others. Compared with King Titos's immature proposal of only setting up a commander-in-chief, the former's supplement is obviously more reasonable. With the restraint of the deputy commander, the commander-in-chief also You cannot give your own country's army a back door when commanding.

Seeing that everyone agreed with the proposal of Pravia’s foreign minister, King Titos could not go against everyone’s wishes, so he followed the words of Pravia’s foreign minister, Adrian, and said: “Your Excellency Adrian’s proposal is Reasonable, then, please allow me to choose the commander-in-chief of the alliance first. In my opinion, the commander-in-chief should be the country that sends the most troops. In order to express our sincerity, the Kingdom of Swachiqi is willing to dispatch [-] knights four thousand soldiers."

"hiss--"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, the Swachic Kingdom's handwriting is really too big, there are a total of three hundred knights!Looking at the entire Valdasia Peninsula, I am afraid that few countries can dispatch [-] knights in a war (except of course for those who cheat like Richard).

While shocked, the envoys also understood that King Titos was determined to win the commander-in-chief. They were either unwilling to offend such a powerful country, or they were unwilling to expend too much national power in this war. Therefore, After thinking about it, they all reported a number lower than King Titos.

But even so, they also try to compete for the second-in-command.

"The Kingdom of Pravia is willing to send out 220 knights and an army of 500 people." Adrian, Pravia's foreign affairs chief, said that they had just finished the war with the Lusinos, and these troops were already at their limit. .

"The Kingdom of Delj will send 180 three knights and an army of 900 [-] people." The crown prince of King Delj said that such a force is already two-thirds of their kingdom's military strength. Allies, they are unwilling to take out so many troops.

"The Kingdom of Deira can provide 240 three knights and an army of 300 people." The military chief of the Kingdom of Deira said confidently. Although there is no way to win the position of commander-in-chief, they are bound to win the position of deputy commander.

"The Principality of Roger is willing to..."

As the number of troops sent by each country is reported, the total number of troops targeting Richard is also gradually increasing, and soon reached a number similar to the two legions currently owned by Richard...
