Chapter 209 Helpless Waiting
Anthony turned around and waved to the huge military map of the Brilliant Empire hanging behind him.

"Everyone, please see that my glorious empire is located at the westernmost end of the entire Os continent, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and most of the national borders are surrounded by the vast ocean. More than 90.00% of the borders on land are bordered by the Riga Empire."

All the generals present here knew what Anthony said, but they still listened attentively.They all know that this is just the beginning of the juvenile.

"Because of the terrain, the border between the two countries is a large and steep mountain, and the army can't pass through. The only passage is a world-famous grand pass built by us, which prevents Riga people from entering. It is the Huaishui Pass. "

"Of course, if the Riga Empire wants to attack our country, it doesn't have to go through the Huaishui Pass. The Hengling Mountains on the northern line, and even the endless ocean to the north, can enter the hinterland of our country as long as they cross it. It's just that the Hengling Mountains are jungles. It is densely covered and covers a large area, and it is not easy to march. There are also countless monsters running rampant among them. Legend has it that there are even super-level monsters with strength equivalent to the golden fighter level. The vast ocean to the north of the mainland is even more dangerous. The strong wind blowing on the sea , rolling up monstrous waves, can overturn and sink the giant ship. The huge ice blocks floating on the sea surface, and the hidden reefs hidden under the sea are all deadly killers for ships. As long as the head of the Riga Empire is not headed into water or desperate, I don’t think I’d make such an all-or-nothing crazy decision.”

"Besides, they have another option: take the southern route."

With the swipe of his finger, everyone's eyes focused on the southern part of the eastern border of the Brilliant Empire.There, a name was written impressively:
Empire of Helsinki!

The Brussels Province of the Glorious Empire is connected with the Helsinki Empire.

Some generals showed puzzled expressions on their faces, not knowing how to properly go to the Helsinki Empire.But more generals turned their minds and thought of a terrifying possibility, but their colors suddenly changed, and even their bodies trembled.

The boy's next words revealed the most fearful conjecture in their hearts.

"If I guessed correctly, they should have entered our country from the southern province of Brussels through the Helsinki Empire."

As soon as the voice fell, even the dullest person suddenly turned pale as paper.

The Riga Empire is aggressive, and the dozens of countries that were originally adjacent to it, large and small, have all been destroyed and swallowed.

After consuming these relatively weak small countries, the territory of the Riga Empire expanded one after another, and finally touched some hard bones.

The most powerful among them is naturally the Holy Empire located in the center of Oscontinent.I also don't know that it was the Riga Empire who was insane at the beginning, and spoke to the other party without knowing the heights of the sky and the earth.Or the Holy Empire didn't like them, and took the initiative to teach them a lesson.Anyway, the two countries fought a big fight, and they are still deadlocked.

In the south of the Riga Empire, there is also a huge country that is not much weaker than the Holy Empire, the Helsinki Empire.

Of course, the last unlucky neighbor is the weakest glorious empire.

No matter how arrogant the Riga Empire was, it would not dare to provoke Helsinki while wrestling with the Holy Empire.If it weren't for the Brilliant Empire's weakness and bullying, the Riga Empire would have to take a defensive position even on the Western Front, so as to fully deal with the strong pressure of the Holy Empire.

But even if the Riga Empire and Helsinki are at peace, the two countries are not on good terms.If Anthony's guess is correct, what kind of relationship is this between the two countries?
Could it be that they reached some kind of agreement to deal with the Brilliant Empire together?
clap clap~
Anthony tapped on the table with the back of his finger, bringing back everyone's scattered thoughts.

"Even if my guess comes true, you don't have to worry too much. No matter what method the Riga people use to bypass the Huaishui Pass, it is unlikely that the Helsinki Empire will stand on the same side with them. If they are really interested in my glorious empire, The strength of the Helsinki family alone is enough to wipe out our country, and there is no need to carve up with others. You must know that the province of Brussels does not have the natural danger of the Huaishui Pass, and it cannot resist Helsinki, which is stronger than the Riga Empire. .”

The generals and leaders were relieved.

Although what the general said is a bit harsh, it seems that the glorious empire is a big piece of fat, and any powerful country can come up and cut off a piece at will.But the truth is right.

A Riga Empire like a mad dog can't resist it. If it is replaced by a Helsinki Empire like a lion, what else can I and others do except close their eyes and wait for death?
If this is the case, the Riga Empire is blocked from the Huaishui Pass, which is exactly what Helsinki wants.In this way, no one will compete with it, and it happens to be eaten by one person.It is absolutely impossible to let go of a road and let the Riga Empire march through it.

Once they came to their senses, all the generals in the big tent admired the newly appointed young general.

As soon as I and the others heard that the Helsinki Empire was involved, and that they might face a joint attack by two powers that could not compete, they immediately lost their sense of control and panicked, feeling like the end of the world.

But the great general was as calm as ever, analyzing the situation in an orderly manner without any panic.

This is the gap!

Anthony continued: "Although it is unlikely that we will be attacked by the two empires, the situation is already extremely dangerous. Because of the urgency of the situation, the forward sentry immediately sent a brief intelligence after detecting the enemy's trace. Further The detailed information will be sent one after another in the near future. But even what the spies saw at the time, the enemy has a scale of more than 5000. A more conservative estimate, the Riga army that has mixed into our country should have at least tens of thousands of people. "

Everyone stopped talking, just nodded their heads with solemn faces.

Originally, they thought that the army would go out and sweep Taranto with the momentum of Mount Tai, and then wiped out Brussels with the prestige of a great victory, quelling the rebel forces within the empire in one fell swoop, and then devoted themselves to assisting the Grand Duke Mattesias in guarding the Huaishui Pass.

The Grand Duke is still able to defend firmly with his current strength. If he can get the help of their large army, and a steady stream of soldiers and strategic materials from the rear, this national battle will form an invincible situation. , shouldn't be difficult.

Before the start of the war, this was the goal that almost everyone felt extravagantly hoped for, but now it seems so logical.

But the outstanding army of the Riga Empire messed up a good plan.

With an army of more than 2 people in their hands, they have the confidence to win against Taranto and Brussels.But if it were the battle-hardened warriors of the Riga Empire, they still lack confidence.

Anthony swept his gaze and already roughly knew what they were thinking.However, the fear and fear of the Riga Empire within the Brilliant Empire has been around for a long time, and it can be said to be deeply rooted, but it cannot be changed by words.Anthony didn't want to do this useless work either.

"How about the details, we still need to wait for further intelligence confirmation. But our original plan may have to be changed."

Although the strengths of the two countries compare, the Brilliant Empire is at a disadvantage.But within the empire, the royalists had the upper hand.Especially after Hannover was completely reversed, the advantages became more obvious.If it weren't for the urgent external situation and too much energy involved, the two major provinces of Taranto and Brussels could not resist the royalist counterattack at all.

It is based on this foundation that Anthony can choose the target of attack calmly.

However, the sudden entry of a Riga army of unknown size made the situation in the civil war, which was gradually becoming clear, become chaotic again.

And the position where they appear is also very uncomfortable.

The province of Burgundy is the center of the royalist front, the east can support the front line of the province of Edinburgh, and the west can help the battle of the province of Aberdeen.Originally, they were facing Brussels. Based on the comparison of the combat power of the two sides, as long as they were careful, there was no need to worry too much.

But if you add a powerful Riga army, the Grand Duke Mateus will be under great pressure.

Not only is it more difficult to defend the homeland, but it is also dangerous to support the other two major battlefields.

If the Riga army were in ambush on their way to rescue, let alone rescue others, the rescue team would turn into a mud bodhisattva and cross the river, and they would not be able to protect themselves.

Or they turned eastward and attacked Huaishuiguan from within the empire, and the Grand Duke Mattesias was attacked from the front and back, and they might not be able to resist it.

"According to the current situation, the two major provinces of Burgundy and Edinburgh are in an emergency situation. The troops in our hands are the only mobile force in the empire, and we must go to support them."

Anthony said in a low voice.

A general came out of the crowd, cupped his hands and said: "The general is right. The two provinces are important and cannot be lost. But if our army turns to the east and lets go of the Taranto province, the calm arrangement of Fu Lankey is probably not something Aberdeen can handle."

Several other generals also echoed.

After repelling the Aberdeen army, the Duke of Keqishi has gained a firm foothold.Now that some time has passed, he must have stabilized the rear and can concentrate on armaments.With Frankie's means and ability, it is really difficult to let the generals feel at ease if Taranto and Aberdeen are paired up.

If the province of Aberdeen is defeated, the rebel front will directly threaten the imperial capital behind, and the consequences will be equally disastrous.

The current situation is a dilemma.

Facing Taranto, Aberdeen is at a disadvantage.Burgundy has the upper hand against Brussels.Before the Huaishui Pass, the Grand Duke Mattesias and General Dino had a tie.

Originally, Anthony's army was an important weight to break the balance.Unexpectedly, a new force suddenly appeared on the enemy's side.

The key to the current battle situation is concentrated on the two mobile units.Whoever can take the lead in finding the weak point of the opponent and break through it in one fell swoop will be able to grasp the node of victory.

The senior generals in the army talked and expressed their opinions, and they were roughly divided into two factions.

One faction believed that the march should continue as originally planned, in order to break through Taranto's lair in one fell swoop and kill a dangerous factor.Otherwise, being restrained by it, no matter what the army wants to do, they will not be able to go all out.

The other faction believes that the joining of the Riga army has made the situation in Huaishui Pass and Burgundy province more critical.Especially Huaishuiguan, if the enemy mobilizes, attack with all their strength.No matter how brave the Grand Duke Mattesias is, he may not be able to withstand the flanking attacks of General Dino, Brussels, and the newly joined Riga army.

If Huaishuiguan falls, everything will be over.No matter what happens in Taranto, the Brilliant Empire will lose.

Both sides have their reasons, but they can't convince each other.

Anthony listened quietly without saying anything.In the end, when everyone's arguments gradually subsided, he spoke slowly.

"Now that the enemy's situation is unclear, it is difficult to make a judgment. Generals, go back first, and make a conclusion after further news comes."

Everyone bowed their hands and promised, but had no choice but to disperse.

It was getting late at this time, and the soldiers had been exhausted after a day's journey.No matter what the behavior is, after all, we have to wait until everyone wakes up tomorrow.
