Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 697: Western Lords Assemble! (2 in 1)
In the city of Linz, the army of the Western lords is rapidly gathering, and the German princes answer the call of Hohenzollern to participate in the holy war.
These German princes, the princes with a large number of troops, have tens of thousands of people, while those with a small force are only a few hundred people.
Hohenzollern was already the largest prince in the Holy Roman Empire.
The Grand Duchy of Austria is a territory of the Holy Roman Empire. Attila's attack on Vienna is actually declaring war on the entire Holy Roman Empire.
The German princes were also brave and good at fighting, and they assembled a large number of troops to meet Attila's army.
Some German princes had no time to participate in the last war. They were on the march. They chose to participate in this war. Hohenzollern was their lord.
The western system of governance is somewhat different. There can be minor lords under the big lord, and the principle is "my vassal's vassal, not my vassal".
It is not easy for Western lords to change this feudal system and centralize power.
The current German region still implements the feudal system of the Holy Roman Empire. However, the prestige of Hohenzollern is enough to command the princes of the German region. These princes also realized that only by joining forces could the Holy Roman Empire survive in the fiercely competitive western continent.
"Holy Roman Empire, it is estimated that it will have 400,000 troops."
According to Hohenzollern's statistics, the number of troops dispatched by various German princes reached a total of 400,000.
The Kingdom of Macedonia is no longer the main force to contend with Attila, and the Holy Roman Empire has begun to take the stage in the western continent.
"The Archbishop of Cologne, the Archbishop of Mainz, the Archbishop of Trier, the Duke of Saxony, the Elector of the Palatinate, the King of New Bohemia are here!"
If you include Hohenzollern, who served as the Marquis of Brandenburg, the seven emperors of the Holy Roman Empire are here!
Because Alexander was injured and the main force returned to defend the Kingdom of Macedonia, he could no longer sit on the throne. At present, the seven major princes of the Holy Roman Empire and the three princes of the Roman Republic have a greater say in the Western coalition forces. Giant!
These ten great lords, plus Alexander, eleven people, decide the survival of Vienna, and even the Western Continent.
"Vienna is asking for reinforcements again, and Attila is gathering forces to march on Linz. He wants to take Linz and enter Germany before our forces can gather. The Kingdom of Hungary and the Grand Duchy of Austria have been defeated. Our next target should be our Holy Roman Empire.”
Hohenzollern folded his hands under his jaw and looked around at the lords present.
Constantine pondered: "My Genoese and Carthaginian legions have arrived, and they will teach Attila a lesson. There are still two legions, I don't know if there is time to join the war..."
"The Genoese Legion? Could it be the Crossbow Legion?"
Hohenzollern's eyes lit up.
The province of Genoa in the Roman Republic is rich in crossbows of the highest quality in the western continent. Even German princes and other western lords have to buy crossbows from the province of Genoa.
Genoa's Crossbow Legion is no less than the Roman Legion.
"In order to defeat Attila, there can be no more reservations."
Constantine glanced at the world rankings. The competition among the various lords was extremely fierce. In the second year of the national war, the war was still breaking out. The lords of the Han Empire were sweeping away the remnant tribes in various places, and they could still get some points. .
Caesar and Pompey, two Roman giants, all looked to Constantine as the player's lord.
As a player, Constantine has a lot of advantages, and it is easier for players to deal with each other. Constantine, inadvertently, has firmly controlled Genoa and North Africa, and has become one of the three giants of Rome. Strong.
Caesar and Pompey looked at each other thoughtfully, and saw caution in each other's eyes. Perhaps Constantine's power continued to expand, and the two giants might join forces to fight against Constantine.
And, according to Constantine, he seems to have two special legions.
Such strength has already posed a threat to Caesar and Pompey, and can even compete with Caesar and Pompey joining forces.
The Carthaginian city-state in North Africa was originally an existence that could rival the Roman Republic.
The Carthaginian city-state also has many famous generals, the most famous of which is Hannibal who almost pierced Rome.
Although the three giants of Rome are maintaining a delicate balance, in this war, the three chose to join forces in order to preserve the honor of Rome.
"We, the seven emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, sent troops together. I hope you will spare no effort to defeat Attila. Once Attila becomes bigger, we will no longer be able to compete with him."
Hohenzollern was very satisfied with Constantine's long-collected Genoese Crossbow Legion and Carthaginian Legion with war elephants and cavalry. He hoped that Alexander, Caesar, and Pompey would also do their best to fight, and The seven great princes of the Holy Roman Empire did not fight alone.
"This time, the Venetians who work for me will also send a legion."
Caesar also has his own sphere of influence, served by the Venetian fleet and Venetian hoplites.
"I've brought in the Sicilian Legion."
Pompey also used his own troops.
Hohenzollern looked at Alexander again: "Alexander, can the Macedonian Kingdom stop the Ottoman Empire's offensive? I don't want the Macedonian Legion to suddenly return to the Macedonian Kingdom to defend the Ottoman Empire when they are at war with the Attila army."
"The Ottoman Empire's Sipahi cavalry and the Yenicheri Legion were indeed brave and good at fighting, and their reputation spread throughout Asia Minor, but the Greek city-states included Spartans and Athenians, and the Greek navy and Sparta led by the Athenians The infantry led by people was enough to stop the Ottoman Empire from conquering Greece in a short time.”
Indifferent to the Ottoman offensive, Alexander chose to trust the once prosperous Greek city-state.
When Alexander conquered many Greek city-states, he spent a considerable amount of effort.
Only Alexander himself knew how terrible the Spartans were. Alexander needed to lead his companion cavalry to attack the camp behind the Spartans, causing the Spartans to fall into chaos, and only then did he take the Spartan city-state.
It is precisely because they know that they are good at fighting, as long as the Athenians with a little brains and the Spartans command the bellicose, the Spartans will not be so easy to be tricked.
The Spartans also have their own shortcomings, that is, the brain is not easy to work around.
Alexander's arm, wrapped in gauze, is a testament to his bravery when he was wounded in the battle with Attila.
Not many Western lords dared to attack Attila's cavalry head-on, and Alexander was able to exchange injuries with Attila at a disadvantage.
Hohenzollern did not doubt Alexander's determination to fight Attila. After all, among all the Western lords, Alexander was considered a belligerent, and it was Alexander who actively advocated the crusade against Attila.
Mainly because the forces of Alexander's Macedonian kingdom were pinned down by the Ottoman Empire, Alexander was unable to coordinate the overall situation, and simply handed over the command to Hohenzollern.
The population of the Holy Roman Empire is only a lot larger than that of the Kingdom of Macedonia.
The Holy Roman Empire has many plains, while the Macedonian kingdom is dominated by mountains.
"King Xia of the Eastern Han Empire, and Catherine of the Tsarist Russia Empire, they joined our coalition, but they have not yet sent troops."
Alexander has an opinion on the combination of Chutian and Ekaterina.
The cavalry of the Czarist Empire is definitely a powerful force capable of changing the entire battlefield. However, Chutian and Yekaterina have not made a move, but they are self-respecting and are still waiting for the opportunity to enter the battlefield.
Constantine was accustomed to Chutian's interest-oriented style: "Most of them think that our losses are not heavy enough. They are really cunning Orientals. Until the end, they will not take the initiative to often."
"They defeated the Golden Horde with their own power, and now they are acting alone. It is understandable. We should be prepared to defeat Attila alone if the Tsarist Empire will not take action."
"It makes sense."
The great lords of the West all believed that Chu Tian was not easy to get along with, and that his behavior had no rules.
"Attila's army will soon advance to Linz. Before that, there are two new allies who are willing to join our coalition to deal with the threat from Attila. These two people may Change an unfavorable situation."
Hohenzollern mentions the new lord of the Western Lords Alliance.
The eleven great men present were not the great lords of all European civilizations, but only represented Germany, Rome and Macedonia.
"New allies?"
Alexander was somewhat surprised by Hohenzollern's diplomatic abilities. As the new leader, he recruited two new lords for the somewhat struggling Western army.
Those who are eligible to join the Western Lords Alliance are all influential or powerful Lords.
Caesar asked, "Who are they?"
"I have made an appointment with them. They will soon come to Linz in the Grand Duchy of Austria. You and I will go to the teleportation array to meet our new allies. I don't think they will disappoint us."
Hohenzollern got up, along with the other six Electors of the Holy Roman Empire.
The three giants of Alexander and Rome were very interested in the new lord found by Hohenzollern, so they followed Hohenzollern to the teleportation formation in Linz, waiting for the new lord to lead their guards.
"These people are usually secretive. If there is a real war to destroy the country, their elite troops will come out."
"Our native population of Rome is no less than Macedonia, a colony in North Africa, with a population of several million. If we continue to expand in North Africa, the population of our vassal may reach 10 million."
The three Roman giants, Constantine, Caesar, and Pompey, were in the same camp, observing their opponents in the future, and comparing the national strength of Rome and these civilizations.
If Rome wants to unify the western continent, it must defeat powerful civilizations such as the Kingdom of Macedonia, the Holy Roman Empire, and France. None of these civilizations has a population smaller than that of the Roman mainland.
If Rome wants to expand, it must consider expanding to North African civilization.
"We can occupy Egypt and Morocco, not just Carthage. I need your support to gain more benefits in North Africa. Europe is not easy to fight, but Africa's civilization is weak and they don't understand Using local resources, we can acquire tens of millions of people in North Africa, and then use them as cannon fodder, provide tax revenue, and conquer other European civilizations.”
After Constantine proposed the co-governance of the three emperors, he also proposed a plan to occupy North Africa. As a player lord, he can see further prospects.
"Constantine, what other legions do you have that we don't know about?"
Pompey was afraid of the two legions that Constantine had not yet shown, and he feared that Constantine would backstab the other two Roman giants.
Constantine did not answer directly: "Pompey, believe me, our interests are aligned."
At the teleportation formation in Linz, Hohenzollern and six other Electors of the Holy Roman Empire are waiting for a special reinforcement to arrive.
"According to the time, they should have arrived."
The teleportation formation in Linz City flashed white, and a group of knights walked out of the teleportation formation.
The armor of this group of knights is covered with white robes, and the chest position of the robes is the sign of the red cross, which is in sharp contrast with the black cross of the Teutonic Knights.
Alexander, Caesar, Pompey, Constantine, and others all looked at the approaching knights, who also held shields with red crosses.
"Louis of France?!"
Caesar was attacking the Gauls, the French, and he recognized the old adversary.
The Gallic Chicken is definitely not an easy enemy to deal with.
"Louis of Paris, it seems that you have settled with King Visigoth with Spain."
Hohenzollern shakes hands with the incoming French lord Louis.
France and Germany, as powerful civilizations, did not have much presence in the previous national wars, but this time, they began to speak out.
In "The Lord", the population of France is slightly smaller than that of Germany, but the population of France is also 20 million, and the troops assembled at the door of the house can also be as many as several hundred thousand.
This time, the French lord also decided to address Attila's threat.
"This is the Knights Templar of France..."
Hohenzollern noticed a special knight brought by the French lord Louis.
Like the Teutonic Knights, the Knights Templar is one of the three largest European order of knights, unlike individual knights!
The Teutonic Knights were larger and more secular, but Hohenzollern was less willing to fight the Templars because the Templars were more fanatical than the Teutonics and their characteristics Let them be like mad dogs at times, among them, the Knights Templar also has an elite composed of knights, fighting against one hundred.
"Your Teutonic Order seems to have grown in size again."
Louis was also terrified of the Teutonic Order of Hohenzollern.
The relationship between France and Germany is also more complicated.
"This time we have a common enemy, let go of past grievances for the time being. There is also a lord, she has not come yet."
Hohenzollern eases his feud with the French lord.
The relationship between the French lord and the German lord is complex and difficult to describe.
In fact, the relationship between European civilizations is very complicated. Sometimes they are friends, sometimes they are enemies. Only interests last forever.
Louis heard that there was another lord involved in the decisive battle of Attila's camp. He couldn't help but be surprised that almost all the major lords in Europe participated in this battle. Who else would join the war?
"Could it be that Charles of England, his regiment of the English Longbowmen, would also fight? If the English Longbowmen joined the war, it would undoubtedly be easier for us."
Louis coveted the characteristic arms of English civilization—the English longbowmen.
England also has a similar order of knights, but the Knights of the Round Table fell into the hands of Chu Tian, and the English longbowmen and Galen sailing fleet became the main arms of England.
The English galleons could not go ashore and fight Attila's cavalry to the death, so they could only rely on the English longbowmen to attack Attila's cavalry.
English longbowmen can become Attila's nightmare, as long as they have favorable terrain.
"No, Charlie of England, he was busy dealing with the Vikings Cnut the Great, you should also know that Cnut the Great historically occupied England and became the king of all England, he may be the strength of the Viking civilization The most powerful legendary hero, so Charlie is a little bit painful, even Edward, the black prince of England, has a bit of a hard time dealing with Canute the Great."
Hohenzollern denied the English lord Charles' participation in the great battle of the Western lords' coalition.
"Emperor Canute is indeed the only person in the Viking civilization who can be called a great emperor. The English are really unlucky. The one who came to attack England this time turned out to be the king of all England in history."
Having ruled out the lords of England, Louis had guessed who Hohenzollern had brought in to attack Attila.
The teleportation formation flashed again, and another group of soldiers appeared from the teleportation formation.
This team of soldiers, made up of spearmen, halberdiers, arquebusiers, and sword and shield soldiers, has a good combat effectiveness on the whole.
Leading this group of soldiers is a queen with wavy blonde hair.
Louis is all too familiar with this group of soldiers: "It turned out to be Queen Isabella I of Castile (Spain), and the famous Spanish Phalanx. Not long ago, we joined forces to defeat the Visigoths. Kingdom, to solve the threat of the Visigoth Kingdom, so this time we can join forces to send troops."
"This time it's fun."
Constantine didn't think it was a big deal. Except for the three maritime civilizations of the Netherlands, Portugal and England, this time, almost all the lords in Europe were blown up by Attila, starting an unprecedented war.
In this group of Western lords, there is a lord from the East.
In St. Petersburg, Chutian assembled 80,000 cavalry and infantry (equipped with war horses as vehicles), together with 100,000 cavalry sent by Catherine, to form an army of 180,000, and planned to divide the troops into three groups to make a breakthrough. , attacked the capital of the Huns.
He had already learned that Attila had hit Linz, and he was going to start a battle with the lords of the West to determine the ownership of the western continent. Most of this battle was a lose-lose, so it was his turn.
It is difficult to escape the sight of Attila's scouts when the army is mobilized. After all, in St. Petersburg, there are many scouts from the Huns, or traitors in St. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg can also choose to close the city, so that scouts and traitors cannot spread the news, but the closure of St. Petersburg itself sends a message to the outside world - the Tsarist Russia Empire will send troops to attack the Huns.
Therefore, the troops are divided into three groups, one of which is the main attack direction, and the other two are used as partial divisions to pull and suspect soldiers.
Soldiers are expensive and fast.
"Chen Qingzhi, you, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun are on your own way, and we meet in the capital of the Huns."
Chu Tian separates the White Pao Army as a partial division.
"Yermark, you are leading a group of Cossack cavalry, which is like the defense of the Huns at the border."
Ekaterina divided a team of Cossack cavalry to cooperate.
"Yermak's original intention was to fight to the death for His Majesty and to fulfill his mission faithfully."
As the leader of the Don Cossack cavalry, Yermak was extremely loyal to the tsar and was a loyal eagle dog of the tsar, while the Don Cossack cavalry was extremely mobile and could easily be used to contain the Huns defenders.
"Before Attila led his army and allies to the west, he left his brother Breda to defend the capital of the Huns. The Huns were all soldiers, and there should be hundreds of thousands of cavalry. In front of our 180,000 cavalry, we can easily defeat him."
The last time Chutian defeated Breda's 100,000 Huns with 40,000 cavalry, the loss was only a few thousand.
Brida's ability is much worse than that of Attila.
"Master, be careful, Attila leaves Brida alone, and Brida must be assisted. If nothing is expected, Attila has left at least two good generals~IndoMTL.com~ Dare to go west with confidence.”
Before Chutian dispatched troops, Sun Bin reminded Chutian to pay attention to the generals of the Huns.
If Attila just left Brida to guard her home and brought all her powerful allies to attack the west, then Attila might not have too much confidence in Brida's abilities.
Chutian knew this.
But he couldn't think of any other famous generals in the Huns besides Attila, the Breda brothers, and their amazing system bonuses.
The history of the Huns is not long, and the records are not enough. The only one who can really fight is Attila.
"I have information about the Huns here. Attila seems to have recruited a group of generals from other civilizations to serve him."
Before sending troops, Ekaterina finally got useful information about the Huns.
"Generals from other civilizations? His position is mostly Eastern European generals, but it doesn't matter. We have prepared a lot of time for this raid, and spent a lot of gold and silver, and we must pay back. This time When we go to war, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the soil.”
Even though he knew that Attila would definitely reserve a backer, Chutian still sent troops, otherwise the teleportation formation, food and weapons of the 80,000 cavalry would not be reimbursed.
Even if the capital of the Huns cannot be captured, they must loot hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and return to the Han Empire to make up for the finances. Every time you send troops, you must at least be profitable.
"Your Majesty, the latest news is that Hohenzollern, the great lord of the Holy Roman Empire, invited Louis of Paris, the lord of France, and Isabella I, Queen of Castile, to join forces against Attila!"
Chutian and Ekaterina were about to send troops, and they learned even more shocking news. Now even the lords of Western Europe participated in this war.
