January 12, 9 a.m., Znamensky Cathedral.
After breakfast, Ma Wei took a walk in the yard. As he walked, he read the latest issue of the newspaper.
It has been a week since Fat Orange went to the hinterland of the Siberian Plain to look for a small church, and there was no news at all. However, Ma Wei was not worried about them. On the contrary, the military situation on the front line was imminent.
According to the news published in the newspaper, the five armies of the Romanov Kingdom have arrived near the Ural Mountains. The formations have been laid out and the artillery is all in place. As long as the commander Duke Ivanovich gives the order, a large-scale attack will begin. Counterattack.
The war was about to break out, and any slight disturbance was extremely important. In order to guard against a sudden attack by the Kingdom of Frederick, Mavette asked someone to send a message to Katerina, asking her to pay attention to the movements of the Kingdom of Frederick's army. After all, in the car The city of Yabinsk is only a few dozen kilometers away from the border. If the enemy invades, they can arrive in a few hours.
Chelyabinsk is the most dangerous area. Mavey seriously suspects that King Paul I wants to use this war to kill Katerina. As long as Katerina dies on the battlefield, no one can shake his status as king. .
For a week, Ma Wei has been paying attention to the situation on the front line. He doesn't know whether the monks he has trained can cope with such a huge battlefield. There are too many uncertain factors on the battlefield, and if there is a slight accident, he will fall into an irreversible situation.
"Father! Father!"
A shout came from behind. Ma Wei turned around and saw Dino running into the yard in a hurry, with a frightened expression on his face: "Oops! Something big is going to happen!"
"What's wrong?"
"The clerk arranged by the Pluto Chamber of Commerce in Frederick's Kingdom just sent a message saying that the price of food on the market was on the rise two days ago, and many railways were suspended, and they were temporarily requisitioned by the king!"
Dino wiped a cold sweat: "During the war, it is normal for food prices to rise, but they rarely fluctuate significantly. Once there are large fluctuations, it means that someone is buying food in a big way, and the king also requisitioned the railway. These phenomena are all It means that Frederick’s Kingdom is making big moves in the near future!”
Ma Wei's eyes flashed and he asked, "Is the news reliable?"
"Reliable!" Dino said without hesitation: "In order to observe commodity prices, the Pluto Chamber of Commerce has arranged offices in many kingdoms. The person who delivered the message this time was Yaton, the local director of the Pluto Chamber of Commerce. His character He is steady, has keen insight, and won’t talk nonsense!”
Why did the king commandeer the railroad?
Either transporting supplies, transporting soldiers, or both.
Military operations have always been highly confidential and will not be leaked easily, but ordinary people can still notice some preparations on the eve of war.
"Although the Kingdom of Frederick borders the Kingdom of Romanov, the area they border is currently under the control of the Kingdom of Windsor and is very far away from the Ural Mountains." Ma Wei pondered: "But everyone's attention is focused on On the frontline battlefield, if Frederick's Kingdom marched quickly along the border, it would not be easily detected..."
The southern border of Chelyabinsk is bordered by the Barbarossa Empire, and the Barbarossa Empire is a territory of the Wisdom God. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to worry about a sudden attack.
This is one of the reasons why Archbishop Henry, Paul I, and many senior generals were not wary of Frederick's Kingdom.
At the moment, something strange happened in Frederick's Kingdom, which broke Ma Wei's luck. He knew that Frederick's Kingdom should be coming.
"Dino, pack your things, let's go to the front line."
"Go to the front line?!"
Dino was shocked and said in astonishment: "Why are you going to the front line?"
"Protect Katerina."
"Then...then what should we do here in Qiu Meng City? What if the king and the others attack us as soon as we leave?"
Ma Wei glanced at him and said solemnly: "When did the conflict between us and Paul I begin to break out?"
"...It seems to have started after the victory in the defense of Tyumen City." Dino was a little unsure.
Ma Wei nodded and approved his answer: "Be confident, it started after the victory in the defense battle of Tyumen City. At that time, the Romanov Kingdom saw the dawn of victory, and naturally wanted to target us. But if the front line is in emergency, Philippe The Kingdom of Terre suddenly attacked, and the situation has become unpredictable again. Will King Paul I attack us again?"
Paul I was not a fool. In the face of the overall situation, he knew what to choose and what to let go.
The army led by Katerina is the elite of the Romanov Kingdom, and the strength of the Church of Truth cannot be underestimated. The sneak attack on Hasha Village that night proved this.
So in the face of a powerful enemy, will Paul I desperately get rid of Katerina, or will he temporarily put aside his grudges and join forces with the Church of Truth to fight against the enemy?
The former may destroy the Romanov Kingdom. Paul I will become the king of subjugation, and the foundation created by his ancestors will collapse in his hands. The latter...
No matter who wins or loses, the Romanov Kingdom will remain the Romanov Kingdom.
In Katerina's mind, the Romanov Kingdom always comes first. Even if Paul I made things difficult for her, she did not rebel because the enemy was still there and she had to defend her motherland.
Vaguely, Paul I was also aware of her thoughts. After all, they were siblings. They had lived in the palace since childhood and had a very deep understanding of each other. Until the last moment...
Paul I did not want to kill anyone.
He very much hoped that Katerina could get married to any prince or nobleman and leave the center of power. In that way, Paul I would have no pressure. He was even willing to provide Katerina with food and clothing for the rest of her life so that she could live a wealthy life. Life, but he knew it in his heart...
it's out of the question.
Sooner or later, there will be a winner between him and Katerina.
"Do you understand now?" Mawei said calmly: "As long as Frederick's Kingdom launches an attack, Paul I will not attack us. He needs us to act as pawns."
"Well..." Dino said in a deep voice: "Then I will go and get ready, leave the matters here to Li Silde, Christopher and Salina, and accompany you to the front line."
After Dino left, Xiao Hei, who was lying on the roof eavesdropping, jumped down, looked at the brooding Ma Wei, and asked: "Master, why did you bring Dino with you? He is not a combatant. The front line is of no use!”
"I'm human too, Xiaohei."
Mawei picked it up and touched his head: "I must consider the consequences of Frederick's Kingdom not launching an attack. Dino has no fighting ability. Let him stay. The risk is too high."
"Where are Mr. Christopher and the others?"
"I'll leave the Black Sun Ring to Selina, just in case."
