"Instigating a war between the Republic of Liguria and the Khazar Khanate?" Ella's attention was suddenly drawn away from Andrea. She remembered that the reason why the Khazar Khanate went to war with Liguria was because three Khans died, and the culprit must be her sister Anna, "Who is your employer? Why did you provoke the Ligurian Republic and the Khazar Khanate?" War in the Khanate?".
"Who is the employer? Who would benefit most from a war between the Republic of Liguria and the Khazar Khanate? Of course it is the Island Republic. As long as the city of Azov is attacked by the Khazar Khanate, the Republic of Liguria will have to divide its forces to deal with the Island Republic at the same time. and the forces of the Khazar Khanate. In this way, the Island Republic will have the opportunity to completely annex the Republic of Liguria. And my boss is naturally the governor of the Island Republic, Patisipachio."
"How did you provoke a war between the two countries? Were you the one who killed three Khans?"
"I don't have that much ability. The one who killed the three Khans was probably the girl who captured me." Osor said with a sinister smile, "But the one who killed the Khazar Khanate in the first place was It was I who came to Liguria to collect the tribute envoy. The subsequent developments were completely beyond my expectations. Three Khans of the Khazar Khanate died in a row, and the national strength was greatly damaged. The fleet of the Ligurian Republic came to rescue the city of Azov. The whole army was wiped out. That was really killing two birds with one stone. Next, my boss will probably attack the Qiqiu Empire. He said before that he would give me a fiefdom after conquering the Qi Qiu Empire. But don’t think about it anymore. , it’s more important to get out than to be locked up in prison. You shouldn’t refuse a powerful archer, right?”
Ella frowned. She had learned that the Republic of Liguria had been defeated by the Republic of the Islands, and that the Republic of the Islands had launched a war against the Empire of the Seven Hills. But she thought that the Island Republic just wanted to block the coastline to hit the Seven Hills Empire's economy and force the Seven Hills Empire to recognize their occupation of the Republic of Liguria.
Although after the failure of the Seven Hills Empire's navy, the Island Republic's army could land anywhere in the Seven Hills Empire, but Ella felt that with their strength, the most they could do was plunder the local area and further hit the Seven Hills Empire's economy.
But listening to Osol's words, the Island Republic actually wanted to take over the land from the Seven Hills Empire. Ella couldn't figure out how a small island republic could have such a huge appetite.
"Why does Patisipaccio dare to make such a plan? Even if he has the courage, where does he get the strength? The island republic's navy is strong, but its army is very weak?"
Osor sneered: "The Seven Hills Empire is an aging tiger. And behind it, there are countless hungry wolves. Patisipachio is just the first one to rush forward. Once the tiger shows signs of decline, , the hungry wolves will swarm up and eat the tiger. Patty Chest Pachio doesn't have such a big appetite to swallow up the Seven Hills Empire. But after the tiger falls, he can also get a share of it, right?"
"Alemannic Federation?"
Ella instantly understood what Osol meant. The Alemannic Federation was established after barbarian mercenaries carved up the western territory of the Seven Hills Empire. It is most appropriate to use a wolf pack as a metaphor. When she was in Insteria, she did see the lords who went to support the Alemanni Federation.
"The entire Alemannic Federation probably has about 200,000 troops. If they participate in this operation, the Seven Hills Empire will be in danger. However, the Alemannic Federation is just a piece of loose sand, and it is unlikely that the entire country will attack. That’s it.”
Ella closed her eyes, pulled out the map of the entire Seven Hills Empire from the Wang Family Library, and spread it out in front of her. The information recorded on a map was limited, so she stacked all the information on the map one layer after another on the same map in her mind.
It is impossible for the Alemannic Federation to attack the Seven Hills Empire as a whole, and it is speculated that the number of troops it can dispatch will not exceed 100,000.
As for the Qiqiu Empire, on the basis of continuing to defend the Tianfang Empire, the currently available troops are the Mercian Field Army of 17,500 people, the Yinlilia Field Army of 15,000 people, and the Yinlilian Field Army of 12,500 people. The human bodyguards totaled 32,500 people.
The Thracian Field Army near the capital was completely defeated by Hestein two years ago. I don't know if the reorganization has been completed. At full strength, it was 20,000 people. If we calculate it as 10,000 people now, the total would be 42,500. people.
a little further away
There are also the First Royal Field Army and the Second Royal Field Army deployed across the Black Sea Strait, each with 20,000 people.
All these groups of people were added together, totaling 82,500 people. Including the border guards, the Qiqiu Empire's total military strength should be around 100,000.
After placing the information of these armies on the map, the entire map becomes a chessboard. Ella held up the chess piece and played against the chess player whose face could not be seen clearly in the darkness.
If she were the opponent, the first step would be to use the navy to block the Black Sea Strait. In this way, the First Royal Field Army and the Second Royal Field Army will not be able to support the front line, and the number of troops invested by the Qiqiao Empire will be reduced by 40,000.
The Mercian Field Army is besieging the capital of the Island Republic and may be caught off guard by reinforcements from the Alemannic Federation. Even if they withdraw successfully, they will be held back by the forces of the island republic. However, the terrain along this road is complex and advancement will be more difficult. With the advantage at sea, the island republic's most likely main attack direction will not be the northern border, but the Peloponnese Peninsula.
"I'm afraid that Constantinier still doesn't know the news about the Alemannic Federation. If this happens, the Island Republic will take the lead. Amy, immediately send someone to send a message to the Seven Hills Empire to ask the Yinlirian Field Army and the Imperial Guard to The army is stationed in the Peloponnese to prepare for the landing operations of the island republic."
"Sending a message... how to send it?" Amy was stunned. By mobilizing two legions at once, her Majesty might have forgotten that she was no longer Basilisa.
"Use the oracle. Ask Drague for help. The Temple of Delphi is the temple of Apollo. It has just been revived. Apollo's messenger saved the navy of the Seven Hills Empire. Its oracle should have a certain influence. If Berengar is smart enough, he should be able to guess what is going on and take the initiative to assist my plan."
Amy suddenly understood and nodded: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
Ella turned her attention to Osol again: "Osol, you can be free, but I want you to do something for me. If you succeed, you will also get a generous reward."
"That's really good news." Osor licked his dry lips, "I wonder what you want me to do, Pirate King?"
"Do what you are good at. The Alemannic Federation is in disarray, and you want them to further lose trust and attack each other."
"This is a troublesome task. I can't do it alone."
"so?"
"Several of my subordinates were captured together. Release them all and I will do this for you."
"Okay, Osol, you can get what you want."
After answering Osol, Ella turned her attention to the most critical Andrea - the best way to resolve the crisis in the Seven Hills Empire was to regain control of the sea.
But Andrea had already opened her eyes and was waiting for Ella.
"King of Sweden, why didn't you say earlier that you were going to fight the island republic? Let's go, our Ligurian Navy does not charge commission."
