He also looked at him coldly. It was obvious that this guy did not want to confront him head-on, but instead he got to the point of the problem, which was to directly convince King Graves instead of wasting time arguing with an outsider like him.
The ministers on the side seemed to have been convinced by Wals. They were chattering about national affairs that would determine the future of the Rhodok Kingdom.
These two different directions will determine the survival of the country. Maybe it is not as serious as they imagined, but it is necessary for the country to suffer some losses. There is no doubt that they will join forces with whichever country is beneficial to their country.
King Gryfus remained silent after hearing Francine's words. What Wals and Francine said made sense, and he couldn't think of how to answer them for a while. Originally, he planned to join forces with the Sarand Sultanate to fight against the Nord Kingdom in the north and stop his expansion ambitions.
What is more likely is that they will join forces with the Khergit Khanate in the east. Then the three countries will deal with the Nordic Kingdom together. I believe that in a few years, the Nordic Kingdom will be destroyed by King Gryfus, and the territory of the Rhodok Kingdom will expand again.
Perhaps this time, the Rhodok Kingdom will become the overlord of Calradia.
Walls seemed to see through King Graves's thoughts. He did not point it out to King Graves directly, but expressed such a grand ideal in another way.
"If the Sultanate of Fland and the Kingdom of Rhodok join forces, their alliance will be the most powerful alliance on the continent. No country will fight against this alliance alone. They will definitely unite to fight against the Sultanate of Sarand and the Kingdom of Rhodok. The Kingdom of Rhodok will fight in the center of the Calradia continent.
Whether it is the Khergit Khanate, the Nordic Kingdom, or the Vaegir Kingdom in the north, these three countries can attack the Rhodok Kingdom. As for the Sarranid Sultanate located in the desert area in the south, only the Khergit Khanate can send troops into the Sarranid Sultanate.
The other two countries would never enter the desert area of the Sarand Sultanate. The Khergit Khanate would not allow soldiers from other kingdoms to enter their territory. This is also a kind of defense, which is human nature. So think about it.
Isn't it that the Rhodok Kingdom has become a shield for the Sarande Sultanate? This shield will absorb enough damage for the Sarande Sultanate. If the alliance wins, the already devastated Rhodok Kingdom will only become a stepping stone for the Sarande Sultanate to become the overlord of the continent. "
Huwols' words were very straightforward, causing the faces of all the ministers present to change. It was true that the current Rhodok Kingdom bordered the three countries on other continents. If a war really broke out, the Rhodok Kingdom would definitely suffer.
The Sarand Sultanate can just sit back and watch the situation unfold. This will be extremely disadvantageous to the Rhodok Kingdom.
"I think this is completely unnecessary. The Sarand Sultanate wants to unite not only you and the Rhodok Kingdom, but also the Khergit Khanate on the grassland. When the three countries unite, you, the Nord Kingdom, the most ambitious country on this continent, will be burned to ashes."
Seeing that Hott was so eloquent, Francine didn't care about anything and directly told him the whole plan. Although Hakim Sultan had an idea about the matter between you and the Khergit Khanate, Hakim Sultan had not yet decided how to implement it.
However, in order to resolve this negotiation, Francine had no choice but to resort to this last resort, passing on this inconclusive plan to temporarily stabilize King Gryphus's heart.
After hearing this, King Gryfus also felt that it made sense. This was exactly what she was thinking. By uniting the three countries, there would be a chance to defeat the Nord Kingdom.
Perhaps their wills will be unified, King Graves and Sultan Hakim will unite, and together with Saiga Khan of the Khergit Khanate, King Graves' ambitions will have a chance to be realized.
As time went by, Viruga was gradually moving away from Wals's sight. The group had originally arrived in this city with their heads held high, but now, almost everyone was dejected.
Under Francine's fierce attack, Walls's group has gradually been defeated. Francine is eloquent and changeable. In just a few words, she has completely changed King Graves's mind. Now everything is controlled by Francine.
It was not until this moment that Wals realized that apart from military strategic command and personal martial arts training, she often neglected the development of other skills. For example, her debating ability was something that almost no one had expected.
The alliance that could have been reached with just one sentence suddenly turned into a dark horse, and the whole scene was in chaos. The Sarand Sultanate began to interfere in the affairs of the continent. Such ambitions were really great, but King Griffus was immersed in his own fantasy.
He was quite ambitious about his own achievements, and at this moment, he was not aware of the ambitions of the Sarand Sultanate at all.
And the lords under him did not rush out to stop King Griffus at this moment. On the contrary, these lords seemed to agree with King Griffus's idea.
The diplomat that King Ragnar said he sent was just an inexperienced diplomat who played no real role in such an occasion.
He could only watch Wals and Francine arguing with each other, and he could hardly get a word in. If it wasn't for King Ragnar's personal appointment, Wals couldn't believe that he was actually a diplomat.
"Sir, I really can't imagine what kind of punishment I will receive when I return. Perhaps King Ragnar will take back the reward he originally gave us in anger."
Aileyen suddenly spoke. After hearing what Aileyen said, Walls also became worried about his future. Walls could say it with certainty.
This incident was like a bucket of cold water on Walls. Walls, who was full of excitement and joy on the way here, was like a dog in the water.
He was soaked all over, with his ears drooping, and one could see from his eyes that he was filled with infinite disappointment and loneliness.
"Now, how are you feeling?" Lorimer suddenly asked. He hadn't said a word since Walls and Francine started arguing.
If, well, Lorimer had spoken up at that time to help Walls fight against the eloquent Francine.
Then the result would be very different. Perhaps, with the help of Lorimer, King Ragnar's task would be easily accomplished. But just now, Lorimer didn't speak at all.
"You were here just now, right? Why didn't you come and help me? If you could have helped me, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
There was great confusion in Walls' tone. Lorimer knew that if he didn't come out to adjust in time, Walls' mood would become extremely bad, from confusion to dissatisfaction, until finally anger would fill his whole body.
"The answer is of course simple, and everyone knows the reason. If I pour a bucket of cold water on you now, then think about your final result. You just got a city as your territory, and you started to be complacent and forgot the mission you shouldered.
This is a sign that you are about to collapse. Many people gradually lose themselves at this moment, until they finally disappear in the darkness and leave this continent forever. Or leave this world forever. If you want to fulfill your wish and build the glory of your own family.
So you absolutely cannot relax at this moment. So I deliberately did not make any noise during this period. I did not say a word just to let you wake up. "
"However, this meeting is extremely important. If the Nord Kingdom fails to reach an agreement with the Rhodok Kingdom, and the two of them cannot form a solid alliance, then the final result will naturally change the situation on the entire battlefield.
To the east of the Nordic Kingdom are the Vaegirs who live on the snowfields. Although the Vaegir Kingdom has lost a large amount of manpower in the war with the Swadia Kingdom, they are not a country that can be annexed in a short time.
So, I am really worried that the Kingdom of Vaegir and the Kingdom of Rhodok will join hands to deal with the Kingdom of Nord. If that happens, the situation of the Kingdom of Nord will be very dangerous. "
Walsh began to analyze calmly, as if the complacent person before no longer existed. After being enlightened by Lorimer, Walsh had recovered from his joy and began to study the current situation with all his strength.
“虽然说，这一次的联盟失败造成的局势无法挽回，但是，局势是千变万化的。
诺德王国准备向东边的维吉亚王国继续扩张，既要防范罗多克王国从后方偷袭，比较集中兵力继续向东边挺进，那么诺德王国必须要找到一个稳固的盟友。”洛里默也开始了引导沃尔斯的思想。
“如果按照你的方法来的话，我觉得除了在南边的库吉特汗国之外，再也没有其他的国家能够和诺德王国联手对抗维吉亚王国。
而且库吉特汗国在与诺德王国联手的时候，一定会要求领土的，他们会要求他们所攻占的那一块领土许属于他们。如果更加搞不好的话，他们说不定还会要一大笔的酬金。”沃尔斯分析的头头是理。
冷静的观察与判断得出来的结论才是值得思考的，洛里默也暗自在自己的心里对沃尔斯的判断年年成长。
不过他知道在这个时刻是绝对不能称赞沃尔斯的，这家伙才刚刚从满心欢喜的状态当中苏醒过来，如果此时再过多的称赞的话，说不定刚才那一番苦心倒是白费了。
“既然如此，就将这样的想法告诉你的君主拉格纳国王，我觉得，他是绝对不会过多的怪罪你的。”
“好的，我似乎已经开始知道了拉格纳国王的心思，或许他从头至终都没有考虑过要向南开始扩张，在东边，维吉亚王国是他首要的敌人。”
经过一天一夜的路程，再一次出现带沃尔斯眼前的是一座刚刚从衰败当中苏醒过来的城市，苏诺，沃尔斯的君王拉格拉国王现在正在这座城市里面，此时沃尔斯回到他的封地就是为了向拉格纳国王复命。
“如果按照你所说的，格瑞福斯已经和哈基姆苏丹联手在一起，这样的形式对于我们极其不利。”
拉格拉国王出乎意料的平静，沃尔斯也不敢多问，此时他坐在原本属于自己的那一座椅子上面，拉格纳国王的脸上没有一丝波澜，沃尔斯可以看得出来最近他的面容比较憔悴，看来最近是因为某些事情而操碎了心。
虽然说首要的敌人斯瓦迪亚王国已经被消灭了，但是接下来并不是诺德王国喘息的时候了，谁能够在上一场大战当中保存足够的实力，谁就是下一场战争的赢家。
诺德王国东边的维吉亚王国，犹如一头的雪地当中是舔着自己伤口的恶狼，这个国家在进攻斯瓦迪亚王国的时候遭遇到的损伤是最大的。
也正是因为这个样子，他此时是在大陆中心的四个国家当中最弱的一个，如果不趁着这个机会把它消灭掉。等着这一头恶狼恢复足够的元气之后，指不定谁将会成为他的下一个目标。
诺德王国就如同一个带来死亡厄运的乌鸦一般，谁被她盯住了那么，这个国家的最后下场一定是变成一团尸体。
拉格拉光现在需要操心的事情有很多，一方面是为了对抗外在的敌人，一方面是为了将这些新占领的土地分封下去，这些为自己冲锋陷阵的领主们。
自然要获得与他们战功相匹配的徒弟，啊于是同时，他麾下的这些领主们有各自分成派系，诺德王国在这三大派系的支撑之下而屹立不倒。如果说他们当中的平衡出现了问题，那么就好比一栋房子被拆除了一根支柱一般，他会变得摇摇欲坠。
如果说不想让自己的国家变成一个内忧外患的国家，那么权衡这其中的利弊自然是很有必要的，虽然说沃尔斯是一个无派系的成员。
将土地都分享给她并将她牢牢掌控在自己的手里，这样的做法势必会巩固他的统治，但是凡事皆有变化，拉格纳国王不允许一名领主在自己的王国内部逐渐壮大。等他号令群雄之时便是自己丧命之日。
作为拉格纳国王麾下的第一谋士，彼得斯紧紧握着他的拐杖，那双浑浊的眼睛当中闪烁不定，宛如一趟黑暗当中的火焰，嗯指引着年轻的拉格纳国王在着政治迷局当中获得一条生路。
“陛下，既然说事情已经发生了，又要何必去改变它呢，执意于这一件事情无益于其他的事情。我们还有很多事情需要解决，南边就让他自己去斗吧，库吉特汗国还没有表明自己的立场。
这也是我们唯一的机会。能够把他拉拢成为自己的盟友是最好的，如果不能的话，就挑起库吉特汗国和罗多克王国的矛盾，他们两败俱伤之时便是我们坐收渔翁之利之时。”
彼得斯虽然把自己的重心放在了维吉亚王国上面，但是在南边的局势发生变化的时候，他那衰老但却并不愚笨的脑袋里面还是迅速的想出了一条办法制止罗多克王国向北边进发。
拉格纳国王在听见了彼得斯说的话之后，朝着自己的部下，沃尔斯挥了挥手，示意着嚷沃尔斯离开这里，沃尔斯也知道，拉格纳国王需要和他的谋士商讨着下一步的行动。
从拉格纳国王的表情和语气来看，拉格纳国王并未对沃尔斯有任何的不满。仅仅只是对这一次联盟失利而感到失望。看来最南边的萨兰德苏丹国突然出现横插一脚，确实是让拉格纳国王措手不及。
事实上，沃尔斯也应该早就想到了这一件事情，之前大陆中心五国混战，唯独只有最南边的萨兰德苏丹国没有出动一兵一卒。
这一只等待着猎物的鹰隼，时刻在关注着大陆的动态变化，现在这个时候是他联合陆小共同对付强大的时候。提升自己在大陆上面的威望，号令这些国家的人民，这是萨兰德苏丹国的野心。
“决定整个国家的动向是那些领导人的事情，现在的当务之急是着手准备应付下一场战争，无论自己的敌人到底是谁，或许是潜伏在雪地之上的维基亚雪豹。
亦或者是来自于草原的库吉特饿狼，罗多克山地的巨熊，萨兰德苏丹国的沙漠鹰隼。
有着充足的财源以及强大的军队才是在这个大陆上面的立足之本。”洛里默开始分析道，沃尔斯聪慧过人自然立马就能够联想到洛里默到底想要说什么话。
既然说，沃尔斯已经有了属于自己的领地，在这一场战争过后，原本的斯瓦迪亚王国领地的人民，家破人亡流离失所，现在正是安抚流民招收百姓，蓄势待发的最好时候。
“我能够清楚的看见，本来还有许多小股斯瓦迪亚武装势力正在朝着苏诺进发，不过在他们听见疏落着一座城市被敌军所攻陷之后，他们已经逐渐变成一支乱军，有的归隐田园，有的做起了雇佣军，更是有着一部分做起了强盗。
如果我能够把他们全部都聚集在一起，成为我的私人武装势力的话，那么将是一支强大的军队。当初，我们仗着人多势众，在森林以及其他的非平原地形当中挫败了斯瓦迪亚骑士，现在趁着他们还没有重新集结在一起的时候，我们应该将他们逐渐收服。
虽然说我们的军队挺进东边的雪地的时候，那里的平原地形也不是很多，可是这一支并非浪得虚名的骑士部队依然能够发挥它的作用。况且维吉亚王国的人力尚且在我们之下。有了这一支强大的骑兵部队加入我的阵营，最后的结局可想而知。”
沃尔斯你说出了自己的想法，那些流窜在外的乱军们，就是沃尔斯要招募的对象。
“话是这么说，可是斯瓦迪亚骑士其中有一个不是远在天边近在眼前吗？”
洛里默一语惊醒梦中人，沃尔斯的眼前突然就闪现出了一个人的影子。
这一个在沃尔斯脑海当中闪现的人不是别人，正是在当初帕拉汶作战的时候被俘虏的艾米瑞达。
这个家伙的长发依然在沃尔斯的脑海当中隐隐闪过，如果不是沃尔斯的人数众多，才导致了艾米瑞达被俘虏，否则的话到底是生是死谁胜谁败还未得知。
对于沃尔斯来说，这样的人简直就是一个人才，如果说有了这样的人来辅佐自己，那么在接下来的战争当中自己一定能够名声大噪。
况且有了这一名鼎鼎有名的斯瓦迪亚大骑士加入到自己的阵营当中，对于准备招募众多的斯瓦迪亚骑士的沃尔斯来说斗号这绝对是一个非常好的机缘。
艾米瑞达是斯瓦迪亚骑士当中的英雄，他已经获得了称号，是一个武力强大的人物，如果他投降的话，那么追随艾米瑞达的斯瓦迪亚骑士也会一并加入沃尔斯的阵营，为沃尔斯所用。
斯瓦迪亚骑士在平原的作战能力毋庸置疑，当初奥多尼尔率领的大军能够击溃维嘉和诺德王国的联军，斯瓦迪亚骑士的功劳功不可没。
“那么现在要做的事情自然就是打听到艾米瑞达现在身在何处，我需要这样的人来辅佐自己。
If I don't even know where he is now, how can I persuade him to surrender? I don't know where this guy is now. I have to persuade him to surrender as soon as possible. "
Wals said to the people around him. Aileyen also admired Amyrida's powerful force. Although other people had not seen Amyrida's true powerlessness, their ears were not deaf and they could still hear some of Amyrida's deeds.
