Chapter 47 Strategies

At this time, it was the third day after King Edward's death. According to the customs of the mainland, a funeral should be held for Edward. Officials and nobles from all over Ice came to attend the funeral, including foreign envoys in Ice.

However, on this grand occasion, the ambassador DiCaprio, suddenly was found by the city guards, and then he was taken to the National Mall where the funeral was held. In front of all the officials, nobles and foreign envoys of Ice, he admitted that he was assigned by King William of Bessus to send poisonous food under the name of Princess Anne. He also said that after Edward's death, Baissus would send troops to escort Princess Anne back to Ice to inherit the throne. Princess Anne had been controlled by the masters using secret techniques. She would form an alliance with Bessus after assuming the throne to deal with Jepen.

So, under the "indignation of the crowd", Wales immediately announced that Is and Baissus had entered a state of war and sent troops to attack Baissus to rescue Princess Anne who was "controlled in mind".

When Buffon introduced the entire story of Is, there was a terrible calm in the chamber of the Palace of Baissus. Then William cursed in anger: "This Wales is so vicious! All kinds of cunning and cruel tricks are used. It was obvious that he had assassinated his brother Edward, but he poured dirty water on me! He was so cruel to his heart!" He felt powerless at this time. Although he knew that he was framed by Wales, he could not find any evidence to refute him. He also took the initiative to say that Princess Anne was controlled by his mind. In this way, even if Anne made any statement, he could explain that this was Baisus' instructor, not Anne's own intention. It made Baissus' rebuttal pale and powerless. Moreover, this kind of coercion to control princesses in other countries is the most despised in a world like the Mayan continent that emphasizes chivalrous spirit and advocates justice.

Foreign Minister Esco quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, calm down! This matter can be seen at a glance by anyone with a discerning eye. In the end, the biggest beneficiary of this matter was Wales. Even the common people and some stupid nobles would believe his nonsense. But the senior officials of various countries are not idiots. The farce he performed in which thieves shouting to catch thieves actually have many loopholes. It's just that we can't find evidence to prove our country's innocence for a while..."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Actually, I think the most important thing is not a diplomatic issue, but a military issue. As long as we defeat Is' attack militarily, diplomatic matters will be much easier. After all, diplomacy also depends on strength. Weak countries have no diplomacy!" Esco sighed. As an old minister who has been working as a foreign minister for many years, he really knows very well what the essence of diplomacy is.

"Yeah!" William's mood calmed a little at this time, and Fang asked, "How is the situation on the front line at the moment? Where has Is attacked?"

At this time, Buffon gave a wink to the Secretary of Military Affairs, Vilanki, and signaled him to explain.

Veranki nodded understandingly, walked to the large map hanging on the wall and said, "Based on the information compiled by Lord Buffon, the Islamic army has now entered our territory with 80,000 members of the Lightning Army. They have captured Linxi Town on the border. The commander of the Islamic Army is Richard, the former deputy commander of the Flame Legion. He has been appointed as the commander of the Lightning Army."

"Huh? It's only a few days before Wales came to power. Richard ran from Baratan so quickly to the Lightning Corps to take office?" The Minister of Internal Affairs El Salvador was a little surprised. Even if Richard ran on a fast horse, it would take ten days to go from Baratan to the border of Baisos.

"Well... this, Richard had already led a group of people to the base of the Lightning Corps. After the news of Wales coming to power reached the Lightning Corps, they immediately took out the appointment documents that had been prepared long ago and took over the Lightning Corps. The officers and soldiers who did not obey them were arrested. This is why a legion should have 100,000 people, but only 80,000 people were attacked." Buffon explained.

"However, this army that only takes over and is not convinced by Wales must have very low combat effectiveness and morale," said Salvador, Minister of Internal Affairs.

"Yes! Lord El Salvador, you're right." Verangi smiled bitterly, and then said, "But they have 80,000 people after all, and those who don't obey orders have been cleared out by them. No matter how dissatisfied the rest, they are at least obeying their commands on the surface. And even if their morale is low, they are still regular main legions. And the few counties at the junction with Is now have only the city guards and the garrisons."

"Wilangie, do you calculate where we can mobilize troops now to intercept Is' army? Can military support be drawn from the Japeng front line?" William asked urgently.

"Your Majesty, the Southern and Eastern Legions that are guarding against Jepeng at the southern border of Thunder Hammer Fortress are certainly not able to move. The battle report I just received just now shows that Jepeng has collected 150,000 troops from his vassal states and allies on the basis of the original 300,000 troops, and his 100,000 troops from his Fourth Legion have also set off to the front line. It is estimated that in one month, the Jiepeng army outside the Thunder Hammer Fortress will reach an unprecedented 550,000 troops. And our troops in Thunder Hammer Fortress have only 200,000 people, and they are under a lot of pressure. It is thankful that we can not be broken by the enemy." Verangi shook his head helplessly and said.

"Now, we can only draw 30,000 people from the Western Legion near the Kingdom of Metia and the Northern Legion near the border of Hegmoria to support Hettante City. If we draw more, I am afraid that the two countries, Metia and Hegmoria, will have strange intentions. However, the bases of these two legions are too far from Hettante City. It will probably take more than a month to arrive. At that time, I am afraid that Hettante City will have fallen..." Verangi said with some concern.

"Mr. Wilange, why don't we transfer troops from our Central Army? The Central Army is obviously much closer to Hetante City!" The speaker was Henry, the commander of the Central Army of Baissus. His troops were always stationed around Empe. If we go to Hetante City at a rapid march, it would be much faster.
