For these survivors who voluntarily surrendered, Richard Bono and the second brigade commander Gilard Pulis held a tolerant attitude. They generously pardoned everyone except the lawmakers for their crimes and promised Can help them rebuild Denova city in ruins.

However, the promises of the two lieutenant commanders did not calm the survivors’ fears. They still had fear and slight hostility towards the soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire. As soon as they heard the gunshots fired by the soldiers during training, they immediately Shaking all over, his legs were soft, it was obvious that he had left a psychological shadow on the hot weapon.

Richard and Gillard were indifferent to this, because they learned from several surrendered parliamentarians that the Ansmara dared to take the initiative to declare war. The parliamentarians originally had a sense of the Burgundian kingdom that encouraged them to go to war. Hope, they kept holding on, but the imaginary reinforcements had not arrived, and they immediately realized that they had been tricked. So they surrendered everything, including the Burgundian cavalry posing as the Republican Army to launch a surprise attack.

Hearing such a shocking secret, Richard and Gillard couldn’t sit still. The two of them had a discussion and decided to write a letter to report the matter here to their immediate boss, Matthias Horn and His Majesty himself. . At the same time, Gillard continued to move westward after a brief repair, while sending envoys to persuade the remaining three cities to surrender, while preparing for the storm, while Richard Bono led the third brigade northward, in Hebo The border of the Kingdom of Gendia was stationed to prepare for war.

The actions of the Holy Roman Empire quickly attracted the attention of the Kingdom of Burgundia. They sent envoys to negotiate with Richard Bono and asked about their purpose, while mobilizing the army to ask for help from the Holy Kuyavian Empire. .

The envoys of the various parties rushed forward and handed the information they carried to the joint person. Almost within the same time period, the Queen of the Holy Kuyavian Empire and the commander of the Second Army, Matthias Horn, learned of this one after another. Her Majesty was extremely dissatisfied with the arbitrariness of her allies. She first reprimanded the Burgundian envoy, and then urgently convened a meeting of cabinet ministers to discuss solutions.

When Matthias learned of this, he was also taken aback. Although he knew that there must be a mysterious force behind the Ansmara Republic, he was thought to be exposed so quickly. He wrote a letter immediately. Reported the incident to Richard and stated his next plan, and then ordered the whole army to prepare for war, march northward, and be stationed in the territory of Kongge Kingdom, a member of the alliance that borders the Holy Kuyavian Empire in the northernmost part. Regarding the arrival of the Holy Roman Emperor’s team, King Kongo was very shocked. After learning his purpose, the king’s face became very ugly. If the Holy Kuyavian Empire chooses to help allies, then his country will become two. The battlefield of a great empire.

But he was also powerless to change the occurrence of all of this, so he could only go to the temple in the city every day, kneel before the gods and pray to the gods.

As King Konge became more and more worried, the Holy Kuyavian Empire finally made a choice. Her Majesty ordered that most of the troops except the Legion that were still at war with the barbarians be transferred to the south, and the Kingdom of Burgundia was also there. Emergency deployment of troops, annexation of the border, the smoke of the war became more intense, and rumors about the war soon spread throughout the Valdasia Peninsula.

At the same time, the remaining three cities of the Ansmara Republic changed their way to surrender after receiving the ultimatum to surrender. Richard Bono also changed his marching route and went straight north to join the friendly forces of the Second Brigade. Confronted with the army of the Kingdom of Burgundia.

...

Vienna, the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.

Richard, who received an emergency report from the front, summoned Charles, the military commander who happened to be in the capital, and the two immediately started a heated discussion. Both were hardline protagonists, so they soon agreed. Richard will personally command the completed First Army to the north, and work with the Second Army to deal with the upcoming war, while Charles stayed in Vienna to command and mobilize the Third Army as a reserve team, waiting for an opportunity to join the battlefield after the war broke out.

After the mobilization order was issued, all military warehouses across the country were opened, and a large number of transportation teams transported materials to the front. The First Army also began to move northward after the swearing in Vienna. The fast marching ability of the Holy Roman Emperors team took just over a week before they entered the territory of Kongge Kingdom.

The two armies assembled within two months. The Holy Kuyavian Empire mobilized a total of 60,000 professional soldiers from three legions and tens of thousands of noble troops from all over the country. The Kingdom of Burgundia mobilized all the mobilizable troops in the country. More than 30,000 soldiers confronted the two brigades of the Second Army with more than 16,000 people at the border. Although they were facing one-half of their own enemy forces, they did not dare to slack off. ——The fighting power of the Holy Roman Emperor’s team was not blown out, but was abruptly killed in these more than ten years of war!

Within the Konge Kingdom, more than 40,000 soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire built a long line of defense behind the border. They resolutely used the infantry manual during training, dug trenches several kilometers deep, and deployed a large number of soldiers in the trenches. Within a few days, the Kuyawi soldiers who were confronting them were surprised to find that the enemy had hidden in the trenches, only the part above the chest and the long-barreled weapons they were equipped with. After a special analysis, they were helpless. Knowing that our own crossbows seem to be unable to effectively kill the enemy soldiers hiding in the trenches.

In the next month ~lightnovelpub.net~ both sides maintained a weird peace. Since war has not been officially declared, neither party has actively provoked war. Under such circumstances, the Queen of the Holy Kuyavian Empire sent envoys to negotiate with Richard, who was enlisted by the prince, hoping to stop this fearless confrontation-the army deployed on the border consumes a lot of food and grass every day, and it takes a month. The cost is enough to make the empire that is still at war with the northern barbarians feel painful.

In addition, with the advent of autumn, the northern barbarians' offensive has become more and more intense. They want to rush into the empire's hinterland to grab the winter food before the arrival of winter. Compared with the rich empire, the northern barbarian gathering place can be said to be It is barren, and even if the most industrious farmers go there to plant for a year, the harvest is very small.

Richard was very indifferent to the mission sent by the Kuyawis. He straightforwardly put forward some requirements: 1. Ask the Kingdom of Burgundia to surrender the murderer who attacked the border of the empire, and deal with the civilians who were looted. Compensation; 2. Compensation for the soldiers killed in the war with the Republic of Ansmara, and at the same time compensation for the high military expenses of the empire, which totaled 100,000 silver marks; 3……

Regarding Richard's rude request, the envoy of the Kingdom of Burgundia who accompanied him immediately refused, claiming that he was only willing to compensate the civilians who had been looted, and ignored the rest.

The negotiations broke down.
