The hall is spacious and magnificent, the color of high-grade red carpet, the reliefs on the walls come to life, the top floor is so high, countless crystal chandeliers hang like stars in the sky, with a bit of coldness scraping across the window sill, the lights are from colorful The glaze shines down and shines on the regent king of the Steyr Kingdom, one of the eight countries in southern Central Europe.

This old man who presides most of the power of the Kingdom of Steyr, the body standing by the window is still trying to stand upright, but has revealed an increasingly obvious powerlessness, haggard and white temples like snow, loose eyes deep Trapped, only the eyes are still shining, and there is something inexplicable in the slightly trembling eyes

In the light and shadow behind him, at this moment, I am afraid that no one believes that these royal ministers of the Central Kingdom, who nominally ran from Martin's pasture, were gathered in this unremarkable remote villa. Inside, on both sides of a long brown-red table, the Prince of Benin, the Prince of Samoa, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Kosmo, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Pitcairn, the Minister of Commerce and Industry of the Kingdom of Cayman, and the Kingdom of Naliqun More than twenty people including royal family members, members of the royal family of King St. Hunu and their entourage whispered in the hall. The expressions on their faces were different, some were heavy, and some were with a trace of irrepressible joy. , Some are hesitant

"What do you think about this empire demanding that we send troops to Martin?"

The regent king of the Steyr Kingdom, Jia Ankailu, turned seriously from the window and glanced at the representatives of other kingdoms on his seat. Although the horse farm is very attractive, it can really make the ministries of the royal family rush. They are all sent here, and it is also somewhat exaggerated. The Central Eight Kingdoms are not those ambitious rising countries, so they are not very important for whether they can show their face at this auction. For many years, the status of the Central Eight Kingdoms is between second-class and Between the three streams, as the central area pulled by the great forces of the east and west of Baro in southern Europe, the style of the wall head grass is synonymous with the eight countries in the central region.

"What else can we see, Martin Liya has been fighting against the imperial army, and they have already hit the Holy Capital. I think this empire will be defeated. At this time, if people let us send out Martin Liya, it is enough to show that the empire is already unable to work." Some people said disdainfully that it was obviously not optimistic that the empire could finally win this North-South War,

The eight central countries are an important part of the coastal area of ​​southern Europe. Although the size of each country is not very large, most of them are the size of the second- and third-rate kingdoms. During the first North-South War, the eight central countries were just the status of waving their flags. As the empire's influence gradually covered the entire west coast, the essence of the eight central kingdoms' grassland became more obvious. Especially under the loan policy of the imperial bank, the eight central nations all fell to the empire's side within six months. Attitudes vary,

"That may not necessarily be the case, the Imperial Army entered from the west line of Martin Liya, has captured four provinces, and has also hit the silver fox..." Someone immediately said dissatisfied

"It's just a breakthrough of the Western Front, don't forget, it's the Martin Prairie Prairie, which doesn't even have a city. Any big corps trapped there will be dead and alive, even if it's the Imperial Army, it's not only Have you stopped at Wolf Hiberia? If you have the ability, you can let the Imperial Army continue to advance. If the Empire can really do this, we will not call us secretly to discuss this matter."

The Minister of Commerce and Trade of the Kingdom of Cayman Antonis groaned heavily. Although he is a Minister of Commerce and Trade, it does not mean that he does not understand war.

Hearing his words, the expressions on the faces of other ministers in other countries are also somewhat black. In fact, it is not difficult to send troops to Martin Liya. In fact, in Southern Europe, most of the kingdoms are not for the unruly Martin Liya people. I have good feelings, and even some countries have considerable hatred with the Martins, mainly because of Martins’s brutal tradition of brutal looting, which is too capable of pulling hatred. More commonplace

But the hatred of the nations is hated, but when it comes to attacking Martin, it is another matter.

"In fact, for more than a hundred years, in order to curb the crazy expansion of Martin Liya, the neighboring countries have not jointly sent troops to Martin Liya, but the effect is clear to everyone." The regent king Jia Ankailu's old eyes flashed A look of memory, he was already 67 years old, and he saw more than the representatives of other kingdoms,

"The main force of the Martin Liga is the light cavalry, and the infantry clusters of all countries can be dizzy, and the unique terrain of the Martin Prairie prairie has completely blocked the possibility of the infantry cluster step by step. A joint dispatch of Martin Liya often advances smoothly, because the Martin Liya people will not stop at all. On the contrary, once the Martin Liya people seize the opportunity, it is a fiasco.

"There are three surrounding kingdoms that have been destroyed by the Martins because of the defeat of the Allied Forces. The most recent union took place twenty-five years ago. The Martins competed with the Eastern Powers Spencer Kingdom. In the area of ​​Stellen, in the case of unstoppable attacks, the Martins gathered the surrounding Spencers under the city of Stellen, and then killed a full day and night in front of the Spencer’s defenders. Two hundred thousand Spencer civilians were slaughtered. Under the anger of King Spencer, he sold the royal property and gathered tens of millions of military expenses. He joined the Harvey Kingdom, the Ikar Kingdom, and the Fezer Kingdom. The half-million army retaliated against Martin Liya, and the battle was extremely smooth at the beginning. In just two months, he captured the six provinces on the east line of Martin Liya, advancing more than 800 miles, almost putting Martin Liya Knocked out a quarter of

But just when the countries believed that the Martins would choose to negotiate and negotiate, the Martins’ cavalry launched a counterattack like a loose line of chaos, and the coalition, step by step, could only watch thousands of people. Tens of thousands of Martin Liza light cavalry circumnavigated from their side and then suddenly appeared behind the army

The logistics line of the coalition forces suffered a devastating blow. The head of the commander of the backup army was chopped off by the Martins, and it was more than 800 miles away from the border. The periphery was besieged by the Martins. Cut off, even in the grass-roots situation, when there are still three hundred miles from the border, the coalition forces can’t go on.

The armies of various countries fought to flee, and the hundreds of thousands of troops that came into the world in a blink of an eye fell apart in a blink of an eye. They were hunted down by Martin Liya light cavalry along the way, and the deaths and injuries were heavy. The Liya people counterattacked in one fell swoop, and the Martin Liya people killed the Spencer royal family, killing the capital for ten consecutive days, turning a king with a population of more than 400,000 into a ghost domain. The Kingdom of Spencer, one of the great powers of Southern Europe, was destroyed. More than four million Spencers were regarded as the most inferior slaves. They were signed in front of the car, and they are vividly remembered. Although the eight central countries are not strong, they are all Everyone who has inherited a well-established royal family for more than 100 years should know very well that although the empire is strong, it has only risen in recent years. After all, the hegemony battle with the Martins, and the consequences of being accidentally involved

Although the Empire has torn apart Martin’s defensive line on the western front and penetrated into the border for more than three hundred miles, it is still far away from the big war 25 years ago. In that big war, the coalition forces of all countries were defeated. , And the empire was a very unfavorable situation from the beginning, and the military strength was stretched. The east line needed to face the coalition forces of the southern countries of the 200,000 Eero Empire, and the central part confronted with the main force of 500,000 Martin Road runners. There may be signs of prying the entire battle, but the danger of falling into Martin Prairie can be imagined when winter comes. It is said that victory is in hand, not to mention standing on the edge of the blade. It may be more correct to fall at any time! "

"Yeah, the eight central nations have been able to stand amidst the turmoil for more than 100 years, isn't it because the eight nations did not participate in the battle for hegemony in the south?"

"Admiral Jia Ankailu deserves to be the pillar of the Steyr Kingdom. On the judgment in this regard, no one in the entire South European Barro can match it."

"Yes, no matter who is sent by the empire this time, we must not send troops. Otherwise, once Martin wins, we will be miserable!"

Under the influence of Jia Ankailu, the representatives of the other seven nations also nodded one after another. The empire can easily tear the Martin West line, which does not necessarily mean that the empire is already a stable victory, but it may be a precursor to defeat. The main battlefield is the ecclesiastical country. No matter how good the western front is, if the ecclesiastical battlefield collapses, everything is in vain, and the half a million Martin forces are already a strong army on the frontline of the ecclesiastical country, and may break the holy at any time. With the defense of the front line, the empire asked the eight central nations to send troops at this time, which already shows that the empire began to feel powerless, or had no confidence in the final victory of the North-South War,

This is an extremely important message

The empire can't bear it anymore!

You should know that since the rise of the empire, the slaying city has destroyed the country and defeated several great empires to unify the whole Nordic Barrow. Especially in the first North-South War, the empire countered the 700,000 army in the south with 300,000 troops and won Istan in one fell swoop. The entire territory of the empire shocked the entire Obaro continent. In the eyes of the outside world, the empire is an invincible existence

For more than two years, the entire South European Baro was trembling under the empire of the Empire. The situation in the South was also turned upside down. The royal family of Fezer was destroyed. The empire's figure, just two years, the coastline of the Inner Sea of ​​South Europe has been controlled by the empire

In other words, the door of South Baro has been completely opened

So although South Baro didn’t like the Martins, but after the outbreak of the Second North-South War, even the Martins destroyed the Kalisu first, and then they reinvented the Harvey Kingdom. It must be used to the extreme. The countries are still secretly supporting Martin Liya. The empire blocked Martin Liya’s arms trading. The countries secretly sold Martin Liya weapons. The empire blocked trade and the empire blocked trade. The countries used food. In exchange for the slaves of the Martins, if not, how could Martin’s half-million army stand on the front line of the Orthodox Church for so long,

It is really because the lips are cold, and the countries are also terrified. The imperial soldiers are fierce. From the military to the commerce, the invisible and invisible swords have pierced the entire southern European Baro defense.The empire is almost invincible. , So that the entire northern coast of Southern Baro has fallen

The imperial forces invaded southwards no longer,

At this moment, the entire south is hoping that a new powerful force will jump out to stop the empire from going south. Even the eight central powers in the middle of the wall do not want the empire to win this north-south war, because the stronger the empire, the imperial bank’s The stronger the power, the greater the pressure on the eight central countries to borrow from the Imperial Bank. Once the imperial power obtains more territory in southern Europe, and the center of gravity is south, then the original status of the eight central countries will be in jeopardy, and some of the privileges originally enjoyed It will also be affected. The so-called people’s desire is that too many people do not want the empire to win, even if it is some forces in the empire camp,

"If only the lighter of the West Coast Governor’s House came forward, we wouldn’t be afraid. In case of the coming of the Second Army of the Southern Empire, I hope everyone can unite and let the other party know that the eight central countries are a whole." After taking a breath, Shen Sheng said that they received an invitation from the Empire this time. Although the name came from a horse farm, they actually came to the West Coast to secretly discuss the issue of joint troops. The Empire just won on the Western Front and even more ten. The terrible record of destroying the nobles of Hokuriku in five days

"But what if the empire declares war on us if it angers the empire?" Someone said hesitantly

"We don't need to refuse the empire head-on, we just need to make excuses to delay. Winter is coming, I believe everyone is stupid. As long as the war is over, as long as the eight central countries have the same caliber, the empire should not choose to treat us at the most critical time of the North-South War. Rolling over my face, I believe that it is not only the empire that sees the weight of the eight central nations on the balance of the Civil War."

Jia Ankailu showed a smug smile on his lips, and Martin Liya had secretly sent someone to look for him, saying that as long as he could keep the eight central nations neutral in this war, he would continue to support his family's regency, although this seems to have not changed.

But Jia Ankailu was moved, he was old, the new king was already 14 years old, from the age of three to the regency to 11 years now, as the new king gradually grows ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ contradictions are also increasing The more dense, Jia Ankailu is very clear, once the new king takes the throne, the first person who will not be forgiven may be himself. Even he thinks that the possibility of Martin's victory this time is very great!

There was a sound of footsteps at the entrance of the hall, and people from the empire came

The ministers of various countries immediately held their breaths and panicked. The air in the hall seemed to have dropped a few degrees at once. They said they were not afraid. In fact, they were still hairy. If it was Leiter, it would be a murderous Salton. In order to stabilize the West Coast situation, Salton, who came from Nord, did not kill a lot, and the other party killed himself in anger.

God, it must be Letter, and some people even utter a low prayer

"Everyone don't mess with themselves" Jia Ankailu whispered whispered, the words just fell

"Slap" The door of the hall was pulled away from the outside by a servant. A dark-haired young man in a black dress walked in calmly. Jia Ankailu's eyes suddenly showed a horrified look. The old man who just said not to mess with himself was almost nervous. The general reflection immediately knelt on the ground, some other ministers of other countries have not yet reacted, but some are scared and pale, kneel down again
