"His Majesty King Titos Axman is here!"

Amidst the shouts of the soldiers, the old King Titos, who had been defeated during house arrest, walked into the palace of Fauzis Palace. All he saw along the way were high-spirited and disciplined infantry armed with muskets-muskets. It was the officer who told him that because the guns were already equipped with the entire army, he didn't think it was necessary to hide it from outsiders.

Although he has bid farewell to his military career for several years, the experience he has accumulated still allows him to see at a glance the elite level of these soldiers. Not to mention the deadly muskets in their hands, the spirit of the soldiers alone is enough to shake off the contemporaries. A few streets of soldiers from various countries can be seen from their high heads and fighting eyes. Even if they are equipped with the same weapons as the enemy to fight against the enemy, they can still win the final victory.

Listening to the shouts of the soldiers, Matthias Horn, who was listening to the report of the officers, turned around and looked at King Titos who entered the palace. Because he was a general who came from behind, he did not participate in the first siege war. Naturally, I have never seen King Titos who was once captured, so today is their first meeting.

If it had been an officer who had seen King Titos at that time, his little head would have been filled with big question marks—how did King Titos become so fat? I never saw it from a distance. The king who was seriously blessed almost Like a meat ball, the big belly is ugly with a fat face.

"Your Majesty King Axman, the rebellion initiated by your king has been suppressed by our army, please rest assured." Matthias spoke first, and he said very gentlemanly, not caring about the appearance of the crippled king at all. "The usurper Carl is now locked up in a dungeon in the palace. To prevent the prisoners from escaping, I left a company of soldiers to guard. If you want, the usurper can be brought out for trial at any time."

"Thank you for the righteous army of your country." King Titos said gratefully. He took a few steps forward to hold Matthias's hand and said: "If the expensive team hadn't suppressed the rebellion in time, I might have been killed. The despicable usurper was executed. To show my gratitude, I am willing to give your country 40,000 silver coins as a gift."

"The matter of thanks can be postponed. Your Majesty, according to our army's intelligence, the usurper sent envoys to some countries to seek reinforcements before the siege. Although some countries have rejected his request, some countries have agreed to it. Request and assemble the army to come here. In order to keep your throne from being overthrown again, I think you need to mobilize the army and cooperate with our army to fight against the enemy."

"What?" Titos was shocked. He thought it would be enough to catch Karl. He didn't expect that his filial son would dare to move reinforcements.

Matthias didn’t know what the opponent was thinking. He continued: “At present, we don’t know the number and strength of the incoming enemy forces. However, for the sake of caution, our army will send some troops back to the country for defense, so it needs to be expensive. The country cooperates and fends off the enemy together."

Hearing this, Titos was also a little bit troubled. He recalled that the nobles talked about him behind their backs during his time in power (although it was said that they talked behind his back, but as a king, he has many eyes and ears, and he can get reports at any time. Karl's coup d'etat It’s still dark under the lights, and when he catches the wind, the extremely filial and outstanding son is already ready to do it), thinking of the coup d’état again, his face a little darkened, he said: "General Horn, I'm afraid I It's because of intent and powerlessness. After this coup d'etat, I, no, the prestige of the royal family has plummeted, and the nobles everywhere will not listen to the royal family's call to provide troops."

"..." Matthias was speechless. He considered for a while before continuing: "Your Majesty King Axman, war will break out on your country's territory. In order to defend the country, please Try to mobilize enough soldiers to assist us, otherwise, our army can only withdraw to the country and rely on the fortress strongholds on the border for defense."

That’s all, Titos still doesn’t understand that it’s impossible. Matthias’s words are not unreasonable. They don’t need to smash on the front line for the kingdom of Swaczy, and it is a big deal to abandon this even allies. Countries that are not counted rely on solid defense lines established on the border to fend off the enemy. In order to prevent the Winsters from evacuating, he could only cooperatively issue a mobilization order to the whole country.

As for the final result, of course it is conceivable, although there is a threat from Winster’s army (because they are still stationed in Slade, so the nobles are worried about whether these foreigners will resume their rule. The old king reached an agreement, so he responded to the royal mobilization without his conscience), but the number of soldiers he got in a few days was still unsatisfactory. When they entered the border of the Swacchi Kingdom, they only mobilized less than two thousand soldiers.

However, the large forces of the Second Army have already withdrawn, leaving only the 8,000 pawns of the Third Brigade and a handful of servants. If the soldiers of the Swacchi Kingdom are added, it will exceed the 10,000 mark. On the other hand, the enemy forces they are about to fight against, the combined strength of the two kingdoms is only 5,000. Most of them are heavy cavalry with armored men and horses. The 5,000 of them are just the vanguard, and there are several countries’ armies behind. Coming here.

It is worth mentioning that in the past four years, a powerful principality in the northeastern part of the Valdasia Peninsula was wiped out by nomads on horseback ~ lightnovelpub.net~ A large number of nomads crossed the corpses of the principality and went south into the wealthy Wa On the Dacia Peninsula, accepting the employment of the kings of various countries became mercenaries fighting only for money, and among the invading members of the siege network, mercenaries composed of these nomads undoubtedly accounted for the majority-some countries are unwilling Let your country’s army suffer heavy losses in expeditionary operations, and would rather hire these barbaric and greedy cavalry at a high price.

At the same time, the news of the war spread to the north and west of the Kingdom of Winster, which made the countries still in the siege uneasy. Several neighboring countries quickly sent messengers to discuss countermeasures. Perhaps it had been silent for four years. The Kingdom of Winster made them less wary of it. The kings believed that they could win victory by virtue of their numerical superiority. So several countries united to declare war on the Kingdom of Winster on the grounds of a joint defense agreement, and at the same time, they gathered troops against the two countries. Go to the border.

A series of news of the war also spread to the Principality of Liguin and Page in the north. The two countries temporarily put aside their hatred against each other and went to war on the Winsters together. After the war, the two navies cooperated with the army to directly attack has become an important military Paisikia at the port intended to directly occupy the port, but when he landed, he was bombarded by artillery deployed on the city wall. He suffered heavy losses and had to retreat first.

Except for a few member states that are still unwilling to go to war, all countries in the siege have declared war on the Kingdom of Winster, and the second siege war has begun!
