The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"What do you think about the Essex Kingdom's garrison on the southern border supporting the Principality of Golia?"

It seems that the previous question is already difficult to explain!

So Prince Leo II moved directly to the next question.

Viscount Mayev was silent for a while before he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the Kingdom of Essex has stationed troops in the south. This is not a simple matter!"

"Their role may not just be to support the Principality of Glia!"

"What do you mean? Is there any important news from father?" asked the second prince with a frown.

In fact, His Royal Highness the Second Prince himself could guess that this sudden military action by the Kingdom of Essex would definitely not be that simple.

But he couldn't get the specific situation or reason!

Because if it is within the territory of the Kingdom of Midburg, Prince Leo II's intelligence system is still complete enough to provide him with intelligence from all over the kingdom!

As for the intelligence from abroad, the general public is nothing special and can be easily obtained!

But when it comes to information involving deeper secrets, he's at a loss!

Therefore, for the exploration of sophisticated foreign intelligence, we still have to rely on the kingdom’s intelligence agencies!

The kingdom's intelligence agencies are now firmly in the hands of His Majesty the King.

That's not a place where His Royal Highness Prince Leo II can interfere!

"Yes, Your Highness!" Viscount Mayev said with a serious expression:

"According to the information obtained by the Kingdom's intelligence department, the intelligence department and spies of the Kingdom of Essex have been pouring into the Free City-State of Ancordina like crazy over the past six months, frantically trying to find out the news about the legendary Saint!"

"They even paid a huge price for it and sent people to assassinate the Chief Governor of the Free City of Ancordina, madly testing the bottom line of the Free City of Ancordina!"

"Although their action was unsuccessful, the Free City of Ancortina did not retaliate. The two sides are currently only condemning each other at the diplomatic level!"

"But Your Highness, you know that the legendary saint who founded the Free City-State of Ancordina doesn't have much time left!"

"And the Kingdom of Essex chose to start its crazy probing at this time. Its purpose is self-evident!"

"So, will the kingdom face war again?" His Royal Highness Prince Leo II asked this question in a heavy tone.

"I dare not say it is absolute, I can only say that there is a great possibility!" Viscount Mayev's tone was also a little depressed.

No one likes war, and no one likes a war of aggression!

Especially when our strength is inferior to that of the invaders and we are at a disadvantage!

Because such a war means the risk of national destruction!

After all, there is an old saying: If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached?

Now that the Kingdom of Midburg is gone, what will happen to the nobles of the Kingdom of Midburg?

"Then how did father deal with it?" Prince Leo II continued to ask with a frown.

Viscount Mayev replied: "His Majesty the King has ordered the formation of the Kingdom's Fourth Army Group, the Wolf Army, and stationed it in the four southern counties to support the Kingdom's Third Army Group, the Red Flame Army!"

"In addition, His Majesty the King has secretly sent people to the Kingdom of Ross in the southeast of the continent and the Chaos Empire in the north-central part of the continent to lobby them to help contain the Kingdom of Essex!"

"As for the nobles in the kingdom, His Majesty has also sent people to inform them to hurry up and train their private armies, improve their military strength, and be ready to send troops to resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Essex at any time!"

"At the same time, send a large number of intelligence personnel or spies into the Kingdom of Essex to gather information!"

"As for the Principality of Glia, His Majesty the King does not dare to be too pushy, for fear that they might suddenly rebel and join forces with the Kingdom of Essex to attack us!"

"After all, if the Principality of Glia loses, it can directly surrender to the Chaos Empire and obtain its protection!"

"As for us, we don't have any way out. If we lose, we really lose. We will have nothing!"

"Alas!" His Royal Highness Prince Leo II sighed!

These are truly eventful times!

And the news he heard today was not good news!

"So, Mayev, if we go to war with the Kingdom of Essex, what are our chances of winning?"

"Hahaha!" Viscount Mayev laughed at himself. "When His Royal Highness the Second Prince asked this question, he must have known the answer! So why bother asking me?"

His Royal Highness Prince Leo's expression suddenly froze.

Indeed, whether in terms of political economy, military strength, or war potential, the Kingdom of Essex is much stronger than the Kingdom of Midburg!

Perhaps only if the three national forces of the Kingdom of Midburg, the Principality of Glia, and the Free City-State of Ancordina unite together can they suppress the Kingdom of Essex!

But this is just suppressing one end!

If you want to counterattack, it is simply impossible!

What's more, the diplomatic relations between the Principality of Glia and the Kingdom of Midburg are now on the verge of collapse!

"Doesn't my father have any other solution? Is my Kingdom of Midburg bound to lose?" asked His Royal Highness Prince Leo II unwillingly.

Viscount Mayev thought for a moment, then said firmly: "Yes!"

"Oh? What's the solution?" His Royal Highness the Second Prince's face lit up with joy, and his interest was immediately piqued!

My heart is filled with curiosity and doubts!

Viscount Mayev looked at Prince Leo II, who looked very surprised, and said with a grin:

"We can pray to the holy and merciful goddess of the earth and harvest, Yana, and hope that she can let the legendary saint of the Free City of Ancordina live a few more years!"

"If that's the case, then this crisis can be temporarily resolved!"

His Royal Highness the Second Prince was speechless and stood there in astonishment!

At the same time, I couldn't help but think in my heart: Your idea is really good, but don't mention it again in the future!

On the other side, Viscount Mayev laughed unkindly!

"You still have the nerve to laugh!" His Royal Highness Prince Leo II scolded.

"Why can't I laugh? The war isn't coming! And even though we know we're going to lose, praying to the goddess of the earth and harvest is a good idea!"

"If the goddess really heard it and let that legendary saint live a few more years, wouldn't that solve all the difficulties?" Viscount Mayev said as a matter of course.

But His Royal Highness Prince Leo II no longer paid any attention to him!

Entrust your own life and death and the survival of your kingdom to the illusory gods!

This is not the style of His Royal Highness Prince Leo II!

He wanted to use his knife to clear a path in the direction full of thorns and bumps!

Then the more than 300-year history of the Kingdom of Midburg will continue to be passed on!
