Chapter 356 Aftermath
The matter of defeating the Third Fleet of the Commons family continued to ferment.
From the very beginning, the battle in the Swamp of Despair was not an isolated incident.
It is an international event that concerns the entire Byron Alliance, and even the political structure of the Arshan Continent.
Leaving aside, let’s just talk about Sophie Liya, the princess regent who is the ally of the Yongye army leader. During this period of time, her gaze on the Swamp of Despair has taken up more than half of her daily energy in dealing with political affairs.
The four elite legions belonging to the royal family, together with the main force of the Iron Rose Knights, have secretly moved to the fief of the regent princess.
Once the situation in the Swamp of Despair completely slides to the side of the Kingsley family, they will intervene in this war at any time, provided that the leader of the Yongye army agrees to open the water channel.
It was not only the Kingsley family, but also the leader of the Eternal Night Army who were unwilling to have them intervene in the battle of the Swamp of Despair.
The ambition of the Yong Ye military leader is not small. Not only does he want to eat the Swamp of Despair, but he also wants to monopolize it. Once he invites other forces to intervene, even if he wins the final victory, it will be difficult to maintain integrity in terms of sovereignty.
Even the elders of the crocodile clan understand this truth, and they are unwilling to let the leader of the Yongye army intervene by force until the third fleet of the Commons family enters the Danube River and completely shatters their hopes. Do not invite Yong Yejun to lead the game.
It turns out that their initial concerns were not wrong.
Ever since the leader of the Yongye army intervened in the battle in the Swamp of Despair, there was basically nothing for the crocodile tribe, so they could only follow behind and beat the drums.
Being so passive in the battle situation means the fruits of victory, and it is difficult for them to gain much benefit from it.
The distribution of the warships seized from the Commons family is naturally carried out under the leadership of the leader of the Evernight Army.
Although the leader of the Yongye army did not eat alone, he assigned all the warships of the Commons family to his own name, but took out half of the ownership of the warships.
However, this half of the warships are not given to the Crocodiles, but are held jointly like Brother Port. Both sides send half of the crew and sailors, including the command staff. Given that the Crocodiles lack talents in this area, most of them are the leaders of the Yongye Army. out acting captain.
Wait until the candidate recommended by the crocodile tribe has passed the professional training of the Yong Ye military leader, and then formally take over the position of captain.
The elders of the crocodile tribe are also unwilling to do so. Just look at the new army that the Yongye army leader participated in the training at the beginning. It is still unknown who the crocodile tribe people who have been trained by the Yongye army leader will turn their heart towards. Their brainwashing ability is really too strong.
But there is no way to refuse. They really don't have the knowledge reserves in this area. They want to explore on their own. They don't know that it will be a year of monkeys. When the situation stabilizes, the acting captain of the Yongye Army may have become a regular.
Could it be that because they were afraid of the brainwashing ability of the Yong Ye army leader, they gave up the opportunity to let their own people become the acting captain in vain?
Those young crocodile tribesmen who were instilled with new ideals by the leader of the Yongye army, even if they were making a fuss, the starting point was still for the welfare of the crocodile tribe people, but it was done in a way that the older generation could not understand and accept, but it was better than pure forever. The leader of the night army is not.
With lessons learned from the past, the leader of the Yong Ye Army naturally guarded against the princess regent using this trick on them.
In the royal battle meeting room, not only the big map of Arshan Continent was placed, but also the Swamp of Despair, as well as the military layout of the Eternal Night Army Commander, Kingsley Family, Commons Family and Crocodiles.
The entire battle process of the Swamp of Despair has been reproduced countless times on it, and the outcome of this war has also been deduced countless times.
"The battle situation has been deduced countless times, and it turned out to be a result that we did not expect to end." The regent princess threw the chess piece representing black powder into the Danube River. It also turned into a kill-all-eat situation.
Since the Princess Regent visited the military staff of the Yongye Army Commander, she was very interested in this kind of teamwork and command method.
However, the current army model of the Byron Alliance has been deeply ingrained. A change in the land will almost push itself to the opposite of all the lords and nobles.
Even in the past few years, with the in-depth cooperation with the Yongye military leader, he has obtained a lot of benefits and stabilized his position and reputation, it is still difficult to resist the resistance from the old system.
And the maturing Princess Regent has a deeper understanding of the so-called change.
As the young baron said, a country is like a big tree. If a hurricane tries to blow it down, even if it is level 12, there is a high chance of failure in the end, because its roots are too deep, unless the hurricane It can be so big that even the soil of his existence can be brought up.
If the roots of this big tree itself are rotten, and a group of ants nest here, let alone a hurricane, even if it is pushed gently by a child, it may fall down.
The change she launched was a hurricane, which seemed to be vigorous, but in fact it was difficult to shake the root cause. There was no way to uproot it with her own strength.
To be more precise, there is a problem with the starting point of her reform. From the beginning to the end, she only considers the interests of the Lancelot royal family. Whether it is moving other lords or nobles, or the Holy See of Saint Ether, those subjects will benefit, but attached.
She didn't unite all the forces she could connect with, so it was naturally difficult for her to move forward.
When the two chatted together, Sophilia didn't pay much attention to what the young baron said about the power of ordinary people.
For one thing, the Princess Regent herself was in the middle of the game. She had received an elite education since she was a child, and what she saw was an elite ruling model. Before she formally contacted Sean, she had never been able to jump out of the game and use the eyes of an outsider. Observe everything.
Secondly, in the history of Asharn, it is not unprecedented, but it is also very rare that the people of the territory broke out their own roars to change the political structure, including the banning of slavery in the Asia Minor Plain, which is also aware of the disadvantages of slavery It was carried out under the leadership of the lords and nobles, not those slaves who rose up to resist because they could not bear the oppression.
The uprising of the slave gladiators led by Man Yu's army was the first roar of the slaves in the Arshan continent.
At the beginning, Man Yu's army led a spark to start a prairie fire, causing the Princess Regent and the rulers of the Byron Alliance to look sideways, and they had to reflect deeply to find out the problem.
The research that turned this question over and over again, the final result seems to be the sharp conflict between the slave owner and the slave gladiator. Whether it is the assassination of Grand Duke Borg or the conflict caused by medical treatment, it is only the fuse. The official intervention of forces is something after the situation has completely collapsed.
If the turmoil caused by the slave uprising army only touched the princess regent, the terrifying speed of the rise of the Yong Ye army made them truly realize what kind of terrifying power these humble bastards will unleash when united.
A person's power is limited after all. When a system twists the power of all people into a rope, the power it has is infinite.
In the battle of the Swamp of Despair, it is not so much the victory of the Yong Ye army leader, as it is that this power has once again created brilliance.
The military staff department, Princess Regent Sophie Liya has no way to establish it, but there is no problem with having a few more private consultants, and they will be used to form a private staff department to assist him in analyzing the battle situation.
They have rehearsed the battle situation in the Swamp of Despair countless times. The Yongye Army Leader and the Kingsley Family will win each other. The probability is three to seven. In Hong Kong, the Kingsley family was hit hard and ended in a tragic victory.
Using Brother Port as a bait, lure the Commons family's third fleet into the narrow waterway, use the unconventional power of black powder, set up a lore game, and eat the entire Commons family's fleet.
They have rehearsed this kind of battle situation countless times, but they did not predict it.
After all, during the deduction process, there were no parameters for unconventional forces such as black powder.
Faced with such a life-and-death reversal situation, the princess regent, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.
There was both excitement and disappointment.
What is exciting is that the situation in the Swamp of Despair has become clear. As long as the leader of the Yongye army does not make stupid decisions, the Kingsley family will have no chance of turning around.
Sophie Liya has now tasted the benefits of teamwork, and the timeliness may be a bit short, but most of the decisions are above the passing line.
The Yong Ye army leader is very proficient in this aspect, and it is very difficult to catch their big mistakes.
Disappointed, the Lancelot royal family lost the opportunity to intervene in the Swamp of Despair by force to seek greater benefits.
But as long as the Swamp of Despair does not fall into the hands of the Kingsley family, it will not be the worst outcome for the Lancelot royal family.
And personally speaking, the Eternal Night Army Leader is his staunch ally. For him, its rise has more advantages than disadvantages in a short period of time.
"Golden Armor! Dragon Skeleton Battleship! Catapult along the river! Black powder!" Red Rose Amelia snapped her fingers and said, "Too many unconventional forces have been used in this war, and each of them can directly affect the battle situation." The existence of black powder will naturally produce a series of variables, but I did not expect that the use of black powder in the Baron Court is so diverse. We hold black powder in our hands, and we have never imagined that black powder will be buried in soil and water. Such a bomb trap, let alone the Kingsley family and the Commons family who have limited knowledge of black powder, suffer such a big loss, although it is unexpected, it is reasonable."
Amelia is familiar with the unconventional power displayed in the battle of the Swamp of Despair, as if she had seen it herself, estimated the actual power, and had an accurate assessment.
But it's normal to think about it. The momentum created by the Swamp of Despair is so huge that those who are interested have to send sentries here.
Not only the Princess Regent knows everything about this battle, but everyone with a bit of strength has already obtained accurate information, it's just that it's just a matter of time.
"Although we traded black powder from the leader of the Eternal Night Army, we don't pay enough attention to it. From today onwards, the research funding of the relevant departments of black powder will be doubled, and its formula will be reversed as soon as possible. Biluo is watching in person." Princess Regent Sophie Liya could not conceal her annoyance in her words.
After personally witnessing the blasting power of black powder, Sophilia has already thought of this kind of thing, which will change the direction of the war.
The soft-hearted wanted to get it, but at the beginning, the Yongye army leader refused on the grounds that the production was limited and the quantity required for blasting the mountains and rivers was huge.
When the Jacob River returns, there will be no way to continue the monopoly.
Because at that time, the Yong Ye army leader had a shortage of food and had to import a large amount from the princess regent. When the situation was passive, he had to bring out some good things, and black powder was at the top of the list.
Although the Princess Regent has realized the strategic significance of black powder, she has given it a high priority.
But she doesn't have the knowledge of another world as a guide like Xiao En, and she doesn't have a clear research direction. After getting it, she can only follow the gourd and use it as an explosive as the leader of the Yongye army first showed.
The leader of the Yongye army told them with practical actions that that method of use is only the most elementary use of black powder.
This made the regent princess ruthless. She is ruthless in the research of black powder. She doesn't want to surpass the leader of Yongye army in a short time.
"As you order, Your Highness." Bi Luo, the head of the court female guard, took the order.
"There is another tip." Amelia showed a meaningful smile.
"Say." The princess regent who was lost in thought did not see her expression.
"Major Buck is on his way to the capital, and he will enter the city within a week or three days."
"As expected, it's just because of his 200,000 troops trapped on the east bank of the Swamp of Despair. If it were me, I would move faster than him." Sophilia showed a knowing smile.
It is not difficult to guess the intention of Duke Buck, the contemporary family of the Kingsley family, to go to Valesta, the capital of the kingdom, at this time.
The Yong Ye army turned around so fast that it took only one day to destroy the third fleet of the Commons family, and it was almost time for the Kingsley family's army of more than 200,000 to conquer the East, and there was no time to react Then, the Danube River, the deadly water traffic line, returned to the hands of the Yongye Army Leader, and then it was completely blocked here.
Although she didn't witness it with her own eyes, the Princess Regent can also imagine what it's like on the Donau River now.
The entire supply line of the Eastern Expedition Army was cut off, and it became a lone army hanging on the east bank of the Swamp of Despair.
There is no need for the Yongye army leader to attack them at all, as long as this blockade lasts for a year or so, they will collapse without fighting.
With their own abilities, the Kingsley family obviously had no chance to safely return to their territory, so Duke Buck set his sights on external forces, and at this time, Princess Regent Sophilia became his first choice.
Don't forget, the supreme leader of the Yongye army is still the baron she personally conferred.
"I'm afraid he will be disappointed. Baron Sean's allegiance to us is just a formality, and we can't have a fundamental impact on their decision. I heard that the large carriage brought by Duke Buck to the capital is as many as There are hundreds of cars, and the rut marks on each car are several centimeters deep. For this trip, His Excellency is said to have melted his most beloved silver cup." Amelia said regretfully.
I don't know whether Amelia regrets that they have limited influence on the leader of the Yongye Army, or they have no chance to lead the big money led by Duke Buck.
Apparently, Grand Duke Buck thought that the instigator of the rise of the Eternal Night Army Leader was the Princess Regent.
In fact, Duke Buck is not the only one who has this idea, and many forces have this idea.
