Chapter 3 Co-opting Chips [3]

Alex glanced through the whole hall. There were not a few nobles associated with him, but at this time, he had to reduce the loss of prestige caused on the battlefield in Latvia to an extent that people could not remember. Therefore, in the face of the provocation of the three brothers, he did not respond, but just snorted coldly and did not say anything. Although Alex is a soldier, his political mind is also not young. In the face of this situation, he is also very clear that he can only win if he does not move!

"First of all, I want to declare one thing. What I want to say next is a fact that you can't accept." Alex's voice suddenly covered everyone, and the noise stopped abruptly. Looking at this tall and tough imperial prince, most people's hearts are vaguely looking forward to it. If this young man is allowed to guide the whole empire, maybe there will be new vitality. Although the other three princes are not rubbish, there are only a few people who have real power and ability in the royal family.

Everyone seemed to be noisy, but they saw another person standing up. He was dressed in a black robe, with a ribbon and badge on his chest, and the two gold medals of the Holy Cross made his figure look extremely magnificent. This man is one of the three princes of the empire, Elbert of the Dominion of West Grand.

"Shut up your beaks! Listen to what Alex said!" With a loud shout, almost no one dares to make a sound again. Mike, Minister of Magic. Russell breathed a long sigh of relief and said to himself: Someone finally came out to save the scene. If he continues to be so noisy and entangled, today's meeting will be another bad farce.

Alex looked at Prince Elbert and nodded slightly to express his gratitude. This uncle has always been famous for his toughness. In the war with the Slavic Empire, they won 24 times in a row, and their black army was even more devilish, which made the dragon cavalry army of the Slavic empire lose three battles and three times, which can be said to be a military myth at that time. If that's all, it can't be said that he had such a superb achievement, but at that time, Elbert didn't even have a magician or even a priest. However, with his tough fighting style and frightening fighting belief, the whole Black Legion, from the beginning of 250,000 people, fought to the most After that, there were only 90,000 left. The high proportion of war losses is rare.

However, that time was the strongest friction between the two empires. It can be said that it almost evolved into an extreme hegemony between continents. If it hadn't been for the alternation of new and old emperors in the Slavic Empire, I'm afraid it would have really evolved into a world war.

However, the large-scale friction between the two empires has evolved into a local war, which is still rare. Although it cannot be said to be unprecedented, the scope of the spillover includes six mutually buffering principality kingdoms, the so-called Minsk Dominion and the Earl of White, which were derived in the context of that era.

Although Elbert almost lost all the elites of the army in the end, the previous emperor's record of annihilating 530,000 Slavs was the highest in 60 years.

Even if the Battle of Grand of the National Navy was used, there were no such large-scale combat casualties.

This is also the reason why the Slavs' armies in the north are overstretched. It can also be said that because of the mutual evil of the two empires, the living environment of these northern countries has become better year by year.

Originally, I thought that the peace of these decades would last for more than ten or twenty years, but I didn't expect that a country bun in the Estonian kingdom was so strong. If it was released a few years ago, some people said that Mustave's three rogue leaders could become the confidants of the empire. I'm afraid it's everyone's turn to slap him twice, then step on his feet, spit on two mouthfuls of water, and go away. But what I didn't expect was that the three buns and bastards really achieved such a strong and great cause. Putting aside their standpoints, the ability of Mustave and the three people really had to look sideways.

It is absolutely unprecedented to establish a country in vain.

"Norman archers are more than ten times stronger than all the archers I have ever seen." Alex first said, "Range, accuracy and penetration are definitely not what you can imagine. The armor of the Holy Light Knights may not know what the situation is, but the Norman archers can actually shoot through their armor at a distance of 400 meters. Even some people, wearing three layers of different textures of armor, were still shot to death.

"Gentlemen, I can tell you responsibly that the archers in the hands of the Normans have at least three legions. When they design freely, the accuracy is simply ridiculously high. Even the heavy armored knight who charged can calmly shoot through the gap between the armor. At a charge distance of 500 meters, it was not within 70 meters. All those cavalrymen died!" Alex seemed to recall something and said, "You may not have seen the terrible scene of hundreds of people falling at the same time in a second. That scene can definitely disintegrate the confidence of an elite army."

The nobles were worried and said secretly: Is Prince Alex joking? How can there be such a strong archer in this world?

According to reason, archers can't be extremely strong in terms of strength, accuracy and range. Even if there are at most, there are about a dozen people in the army, which is not bad. But, listen to Alex's tone, it seems that such a person can form a legion in the hands of the Normans? Is this an exaggeration or deliberately bringing us wrong information?

The nobles secretly thought about Alex's words. Maybe it's true, maybe it's fake.

Alex's words are half true and half false. In fact, the archer in the careless hand can indeed do it. The Roma Empire did not know much about the Vikings in remote areas, but there were indeed superb archers there. Think about it, if they could accurately hit the enemy's throat on a rickety ship, it showed that their superb skills had reached the bone. Bows and arrows are integrated with these bastards.

Hearing Alex's explanation, His Royal Highness Prince Elbert of the Black Legion frowned slightly and whispered to himself, "Such an archer does exist." He also admitted that there was such an army, but that was decades ago. At that time, he was only fifteen years old and followed the last emperor to the east. When he faced the Yugoslavs, the people there invited a 7,000 mercenaries. Everyone was extremely good at bows and arrows, and could also make stunning evas on horsebacks. Although he was finally defeated by the powerful army of the Roma Empire, he was also impressed by Elbert, and that incident was also blocked by the previous king. No one knows.

"Does the Norman archer have anything to do with the mercenary?" Elbert guessed in his heart that of course he knew that the mercenary was actually a temporary army of wandering Vikings invited by the Yugoslavs, but in any case, he did have that strength.

A 35,000-person expeditionary legion actually lost more than 400 excellent magicians in front of 7,000 people. This kind of thing will cause an uproar in any country. At that time, His Majesty did not publicize this matter in China because of this consideration. However, folklore is still very powerful.

"But!" Alex suddenly aggravated his tone, "Those archers are not the cause of the real destruction of the Holy Light Knights. The most terrible power is their warriors! That's not human at all. They rushed to charge, cut off the head of the Holy Light Knights, wrapped the prisoners in their hands, and laughed, like a war beast, roaring past, their eyes were red, and they were not afraid of any sword cutting at all. Even if someone stabbed with a spear, he just greeted him with a smile. They are not afraid of death at all! This... is the most important thing."

The whole hall fell into a dead silence at this time.

Death. Who is not afraid? There is no one who is not afraid. But Alex's tone, it seems that those bastards, those barbarians, are not afraid of death.

"This is impossible! There is no one who is not afraid of death!" Someone shouted for a little foot!

"How is this possible?" Some people question it. But Alex just sneered and said to himself: If I tell you that they still have a weapon that can take hundreds of lives at a time, I don't know if you still believe it or not?

But in any case, after retreating from the Latvian battlefield, Alex will never want to fight against the northerners. It's not because he is afraid. He is still confident that he will completely defeat the Normans, but in the face of such a tough opponent, I'm afraid he will also lose a lot. At this critical juncture, he doesn't want to lose anything.

"Believe it or not, I have only one suggestion, that is, negotiation! It takes a person to stand up and become a messenger to negotiate with the Normans. Although the destruction of the Kingdom of Latvia is a fact, after all, this kingdom was once our vassal state, and we have reason to fight for some benefits at this time. Alex ignored the doubts at all and just said so plainly.

Prince Ursula sneered: What a resolute boy, in order to preserve his strength, he even ignored the domestic pressure at all. But, well, this is exactly the opportunity I need.

Ursula also stood up and said, "I agree with Alex's advice, and I also believe his words. Even, I think the hidden strength of the Grand Duchy of Norman is definitely more than that. Maybe they have stronger combat power.

As soon as Ursula's words came out, Alex's eyes changed. Yes, his eyes did change. Alex saw the power of the magic crystal cannon with his own eyes, but he didn't expect that Ursula could infer this possibility, which was really admirable.

I just didn't expect that Alex would have this expression as soon as I said it, and Ursula was also shocked: Does it mean that the Normans really have such a strong force?

Prince Ursula just said it casually, but when he saw Alex's expression, he was shocked. Obviously, he suddenly felt that there must be some reason for the Normans to force Alex to be so surprised.

"We at least hold such a bargaining chip as the suzerain. At that time, we will negotiate with the Normans, at least to come up with a result." Ursula stood up and said indifferently.

"But who is going?" A voice sounded, and the hall became quiet again in an instant. Indeed, who will go?

No one would want to go to the country ruled by the king of the devil. The atmosphere was extremely cold. Seeing that the opportunity was almost over, Prince Ursula said again, "For the future and reputation of the empire, I'll go."

Ursula's words made the whole hall in an uproar. The other two princes and three princes looked at him with surprise. After a long time, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief and secretly said that they didn't need to take risks.

At this time, Mike, the Minister of Magic. Russell looked at Prince Ursula with admiration.
