Chapter 57 Fierce and decisive [3]

retreat from the Daugava River to Minsk, which is about 180 kilometers away. Alex didn't shrink all the way, and he didn't shrink to that extent. However, letting the enemy take advantage of it is obviously not what Alex wants to see. Therefore, when his army left the northern Voropayevo region, all the people here were migrated clean. The town in the city wall looks like a no man's land. Occasionally, one or two people pass by, and they are also tramps who eat wild food there. The streets and alleys are full of fierce determination, and the surrounding woods have been cut down cleanly. It is impossible for Lord Norman to build two houses.

Houses in the Voropayevo area have been demolished, leaving only half of the ruins, and the scene of hasty demolition can be faintly seen. This foundation is kept, so when the people here come back, they can rebuild their homes and distinguish the original land.

"This Alex is really poisonous. He did it so well. Isn't he afraid that the nobles in the north of the Roman Empire will oppress him? At this time, the other two legion commanders who had arrived at the front line visited this area in person. There was a little deviation in the estimation of the next war. Chesterner's eyes were full of the curiosity of people like Alex.

"Idiot, as long as you have an army in hand, Alex said he wanted to migrate. Do the nobles in those places dare to say no? Don't forget that the great prince of the empire is still the head of the Prince of Minsk. At least as a great lord, those people under him have no reason to refute. Tangorine curled his lips and said so. The motoring beside him also nodded and said to Chesterner, "This guy is very good. If nothing unexpected happens, he is preserving the strength of the entire Northern Legion of the Empire. According to His Majesty's inference, there should be the highest peak of the power struggle within the Roma Empire this year. The winner is almost at his fingertips.

The three legion leaders all look solemn. Although they know that once the other party is unified, it is really difficult to do, there is nothing they can do. After all, it is easy to fight Latvia, and it is very difficult to appease the emotions of millions of people. Even if you use Boss Ma's extreme idea, it will take at least half a year, but in fact, it is definitely more than that short. In just six months, what else can you expect to do? The use of Huairou's policy should be based on a two-pronged approach.

"Anyway, the next combat task is to consolidate the defense line of the Daugava River. The purpose of the Grand Duke is to arrange the defense line on the eastern line. Then launch an offensive against the Principality of Lithuania, although there should be a big war next year. But in any case, the Roma cannot be allowed to enter the southern part of Latvia casually. Our primary goal is to destroy the confidence of the Roma in this area. It's really a shame if they dare to come in.

Madaling's confidence is now very high. Chesterner next to him put his arms around his neck and laughed and scolded fiercely, "Aha, you bastard, aren't you arrogant now? Do you think you are awesome? You are such a bird that makes people want to beat you hard.

"That's right, this son of a bitch is really unbearable." Tangorine beside him also smiled and couldn't speak for a long time.

The motoring smiled, despised Chesterner, raised a middle finger, and suddenly said solemnly, "Although there is no general battle this time, and it is just a Holy Light Knights of the Holy See who fought an unknown battle. However, I have been able to deeply feel what kind of pressure the position of the Grand Duke should bear. It's almost the hostility of all the forces in the central continent. Where did His Majesty come from with this determination and confidence?

All three of them were silent for a while. Chesterner looked calm and said devoutly like a believer, "Anyway, everything I have been given by His Majesty. The Grand Duke asked me to go east, but I don't think I'm going west! If you let me kill someone, I will never be disabled. The tide of the future is surging. We were originally the most incompetent people at the bottom, but at this moment, we are also standing at the forefront of the storm. Even at the moment of death, I used to be a person who went to history. Yes, I will be remembered by history. Because, I, no, we, we will all become the glorious history of the Grand Duchy of Norman. Achieve great achievements and let His Majesty reach the highest peak of the world. Even with our flesh and blood, we will cast his ladder to the top!"

"You son of a bitch! The pious look is really like a magic stick!" Madaling scolded with a smile.

Chesner waved his hand and said, "I'm serious."

The two were stunned. Obviously, they didn't expect that this bastard would have such an ideal, which was beyond people's imagination.

"Forget it, don't think about it now. Our purpose is also clear. Although Alex left us only a piece of ruins, and his means in the Minsk Dominion are quite unique. For a long time, we can only be self-sufficient. Do you two have any opinions on the supply of materials? At present, the motor order is indeed Rabslav's temporary war zone admiral, with decisive power. Therefore, Chesterner's Seventh Army and Tangorine's Tenth Army are waiting for his dispatch.

"The supply of materials is indeed difficult. We can't rob all the time in Latvia, and it is unlikely to rush to the Principality of Lithuania at this time. After all, in that case, it may not only deal with a Northern Legion, but also the Northwest Legion of the Roman Empire. But anyway, the only way at present is to plunder it. Chesterner frowned, "It's just that in the long run, even if it's only a year, it will collapse. His Majesty doesn't want to see this situation."

"That's for sure!" Tangorine said loudly, "My idea is whether we can form a cavalry and regiment to plunder the Earl of White in the west. As you know, the products there are very rich, and this area, full of people from the Roman Empire and the Slavic Empire, is also very helpful for our intelligence. At least, we can know more about the domestic trends of the two countries.

"I agree." Chesterner just thought for a moment and agreed with this view. "But at that time, I think it's better to pretend to be a band of thieves, so that it's not easy to show your feet."

"Hmm." The other two nodded.

However, the motoring still frowned, obviously with some other ideas. Chesner asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Oh, no, it's a method proposed by my staff and adjutants. I'm still thinking about it and thinking about the feasibility. However, I don't know how long His Majesty will be able to arrange the defense of the Daugava River. If it's only less than half a year, then there is no need to try it. Madaling looked up at the curious eyes of the two people and said, "We have inferred that if the soldiers were allowed to farm, most of the food problems should be solved. For a year and a half, there is absolutely no problem. It can even leave a lot of food for the principality. It's just a little inconvenient to operate. After all, soldiers are not real farmers. Some guys have never taken farm tools in their lives.

Of course, it's like this. If soldiers don't take armor and farm tools, it's abnormal. However, the suggestion of the motoring brightened the eyes of the two legion commanders.

Chesterner asked eagerly, "Have you reported it to His Majesty?"

"Hmm. The Grand Duke has approved this practice, and he has not fully replied to me. However, I guess he is also thinking about how to improve this plan. After all, we only provide an idea for specific implementation and detailed layout. I guess it's all under discussion in the city of Tamsalu. That's what Madaling said.

The strategy of the next year is being arranged on the Daugava River defense line. In the Holy Land of Marijoa, a quarrel or even abuse has begun.

North, the archbishop of the northern archdiocese, shouted at several other red-robed bishops, "What? Do you suggest giving up the Northern Diocese? Do you know what this means? This person, the majesty of the Holy See for thousands of years will collapse. Because those religious people will see that the Holy See will also be weak. They will question the power of the Supreme God and the power of the Holy See. This is the reality, and you still think this is a good suggestion!"

Pope Paul I clenched his fist and wore a small flower hat, but he looked solemn. Compared with the bishops below, his expression was extremely solemn. Although he asked his Holy Light Knights to make the damn bishops shut up, he didn't know what would happen. He had a vague feeling that maybe Hannibal, the bastard, would do something stupid.

It has been almost two months. I heard that they are still leisurely on the road. At first, he was able to calm down. But now, there is news that he has arrived at the northern border. It has arrived at the border area of Latvia, where it seems to be ruled by the Normans in the north. What will happen?

Just as the archbishops were still attacking and scolding each other, an armed knight hurriedly walked in from the outside of the holy church. He knelt respectfully on one knee, and was about to open his mouth when he saw the Pope wave and asked him to come forward and whisper.

This behavior stunned the archbishops. Obviously, it seems that His Holiness is not that good-looking. Strictly speaking, it is very ugly.

At the end, after the knight finished saying all the words, the Pope stood up angrily. With a bang, the scepter poked the ground fiercely and roared, "What! Hannibal's Holy Light Knights have been completely annihilated!"

In the whole hall, there was a dead silence.
