Chapter 463 Situation

Looking at Richard coming out of a furious state, and looking at his satisfied expression holding Princess Elizabeth, who was as delicate as a porcelain doll, the two Guards soldiers quickly moved their eyes back, pretending not to see this scene.

Richard also ignored the thoughts of the two people outside. He felt the softness in his arms and squeezed his daughter's face with a smile. The anger just now disappeared at this moment. Elizabeth seemed to be his angel, able to heal his heart.

While hugging his daughter, Richard looked at Frederick, who looked a lot like him, and asked, "Frederick, have you done the homework assigned by Mr. Ike? And Mr. Payne taught you How about your sword skills?"

"I've done it well, but learning sword is really tiring, and Teacher Payne is also very strict, so I don't want to learn."

"Mr. Payne's strictness is for your own good. As a nobleman, swordsmanship is one of the necessary skills, even if you are a prince." Richard frowned slightly and said to Frederick, who Listening to the pauses in the head, it was obvious that he didn't listen.

Seeing this, he could only smile helplessly, patted Frederick's head lightly, and then led them out of the study, but was interrupted by these two little guys, and he didn't have the heart to stay in it anymore.Passing by a window with the two little ones, he caught a glimpse of the well-kept garden outside from the corner of his eye, and suddenly became interested in going there for a stroll, so he led them towards the garden.

Many flowers in the garden were already in full bloom, and the rich fragrance of flowers came to the nostrils. Richard could not help closing his eyes and savoring carefully. At this moment, he suddenly felt that something had moved his hair, and he opened his eyes subconsciously. At first glance, it turned out that Elizabeth had picked a small white flower from somewhere, and stuck it on Richard's thick curly hair.

Looking at his princess's actions, Richard couldn't laugh or cry. He gently rubbed Elizabeth's hair, put her on the ground, watched her playfully make a face to him, and then followed his brother as he ran deep into the garden. There is indescribable happiness in my heart.He stood up slowly and looked at the flowers and plants around him, but in his mind he thought of the officers and soldiers of the Second Brigade who died in the battle. His face suddenly sank, "I have to do something." He thought to himself, and then he crossed his arms over his chest, He held his chin with one hand and thought.

Battle reports from the frontline were often sent to his desktop these days, most of which were good news, but there were also some bad news.The war in the Principality of Page in the north had just subsided, and the Grand Duke of Page, who was violently attacked by the [-]rd Brigade, finally chose to surrender, trying to continue his rule by becoming a vassal of the Kingdom of Winster, but the commander of the [-]rd Brigade, Trond O Sir Elson directly rejected his conditions, causing the Grand Duke of Page to rebel again, but the Third Brigade was already prepared and suppressed the resistance effortlessly, arresting most of the nobles and almost all members of the royal family in Fort Page In order to prevent them from making any further mistakes, Sir Trond immediately ordered the execution of these enemy nobles and brought the Duchy of Page under the rule of the kingdom.

In the Pravia area, the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Tricaxi and the Kingdom of Petrolock and part of the Second Army are in fierce battle. The elite knights of the two countries are full of great threats to the line infantry. The carbine cavalry in the army can kill the enemy at a long distance, but in close combat they can only be beheaded by elite knights, so facing the medieval heavy cavalry, the infantry can only quickly form a hollow square, relying on dense bayonets to resist the charge , while shooting at the enemy.With the resistance of the Second Army, the coalition forces have never been able to expand their results. Richard knew that if they knew the news of the fall of the Principality of Page, they would definitely abandon the front line and withdraw to the domestic defense of the menacing Third Brigade.

Because the Allied Forces of Tricaxi invaded the Kingdom of Pravia, the Second Army was unable to fully deal with the Allied Forces that stormed the Kingdom of Osa and the Kingdom of Deira, and had to let the troops of the vassal states cooperate to defend together. It is very long, from the border next to the Kingdom of Swachic to the border of the Kingdom of Miganis, they are all threatened by the coalition forces, especially the barbarian cavalry who come and go like the wind, although the scale has been reduced at present (the reduced ones have been transferred went to Lumi Kingdom), but it is still full of threats to the civilians in the territory.

In the south, the offensive of the third army was overwhelming. How could the kingdom of Milanas resist the attack of the army in the gunpowder era? Nord came, ready to sue for peace.

I don’t know why, but the forces on the Vardasia Peninsula have a characteristic, that is, the lower the combat effectiveness the further south you go, and the larger the territory of the country as you go north. The forces in the south are like the neighbors on the Osa Peninsula opposite Generally, a city can become an independent country, and the smaller the country, the smaller the force. This is almost an eternal truth.

In order to prevent things happening again in the Kingdom of Ramirez or the Kingdom of Lucino, the Third Army cannot be transferred for the time being, so Richard looked around, except for the Fourth Army still on the Osa Peninsula and the remaining king capital. Apart from the first brigade of the first army, there is no extra army to mobilize, and the fourth army must not be transferred. Who knows that without the suppression of the fourth army, those Ossa people who learned about the war in Vardasia would No action will be taken. In this case, only the first brigade can go west to the Lucino area for support.

The Lucino region... Thinking of this, Richard felt a little headache. After the news of the disastrous defeat came back, all the forces in the Lucino region were ready to move, planning to take action again to restore the rule of the Lucino kingdom.There is no Winster army stationed in the entire region, so various forces can act unscrupulously. If troops are not sent in as soon as possible, Richard can be sure that within half a month, the Lucino region will definitely rebel again.

Not only that, but the threat of the Lumi Kingdom has not subsided. They personally buried a so-called invincible Winster army. Now they must be full of confidence and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.They have three ways to go, either take the road of the second brigade to attack the Lucino area, and support a new kingdom as a savior; The army led by Mabuku, who has been out of battle for a long time, may be powerless to resist; the last way is to enter the Pravia area through the Principality of Piloc, where they can join forces with the Tricasian coalition forces fighting there to attack the headquarters of the Second Army , Another big victory is not impossible.

Looking at it this way, no matter which way they go, they are sure to win.

Thinking of this, Richard couldn't help but itch again at Butters who rushed to die in battle. If it wasn't for this damn guy's disastrous defeat, how could the kingdom fall into such a passive situation?

　Did I deliberately weaken the combat effectiveness of the protagonist's army?
