Chapter 35 Wanting to Fight on Two Fronts



This was great news for him. Who wouldn't want to ascend the throne? At this moment, Prince Vidim was not a fool without political acumen. After so many years of wandering, he had already seen the world and people's changes. Therefore, he also understood that this Earl Daeglan would never help him with all his heart. If he really fought for the Kingdom of Virgia as he said, it would be a big joke.

"Count Degranna, you can swear allegiance to me now. When we overthrow the rule of King Yarofolk and establish a new Kingdom of Vigia, you will become my chief hero. At that time, you will become the greatest lord of the Kingdom of Vika, and I will grant you unlimited land and power."

When Prince Vidim said the word "power", he deliberately emphasized the word. Yes, power was what Count Daeglan desired most. Only if he was given enough power would he be loyal to him and lead his army to persuade other lords.

Reform doesn't feel that with Kadoc in hand, this peerless warrior will open up a broad road for him. He originally followed the anger of a certain person and arrived at Dehri, but he didn't expect to find such an opportunity, the opportunity he had always longed for, and he appeared in his hands so dramatically.

On the other hand, in King Yarogerk's fiefdom, in his court, how Maltas destroyed the Kingdom of Nord. The Kingdom of Vaegir and the Kingdom of Nord were originally mortal enemies.

At the beginning, they only temporarily united to attack the Kingdom of Swadia because of their common interests. Now the Kingdom of Swadia has been divided up by four countries. The Kingdom of Nord has gained the greatest benefit. It is only a matter of time before the two countries turn against each other. However, no one expected that things would happen so quickly.

This time, when discussing how to attack the Nord Kingdom, King Yarogerk was not in a hurry to invite lords from all over the country to discuss. He was only worried about some of his subordinates. Therefore, he did not have a substantive and detailed discussion with those lords. Whether or not to attack the Nord Kingdom should also be based on the interests of local nobles. Only under such circumstances can the forces from all over the country be mobilized. Otherwise, it would be far from enough to defeat the entire Nord Kingdom by relying solely on his own strength.

"Martas, you are now the first warrior of the Kingdom of Vaegir. Let me ask you again, if you are wronged by the Nordic Royal Guards of the Nordic Kingdom, how many people can you fight against by yourself?"

Maltas knew that his chance had come. This was a good opportunity to reduce the prestige of King Yarogerk in the eyes of the lords of the Kingdom of Vigia.

"Your Majesty, I have to tell you sincerely that this is too easy for me. I can deal with 50 people by myself. Those Nord royal guards are not my opponents at all. With just your word, I can lead a group of people to flatten the entire Nordic Kingdom. In Sagoth, I will capture King Ragnar alive for you." These words made King Yarogelk laugh heartily. King Yarogelk was extremely satisfied with such an answer.

"Okay, just hearing your words will satisfy me. I am now preparing to fight on two fronts. This is a great plan that has never been seen before or since on the Calradia continent. I want to defeat the Nordic Kingdom and the Khergit Khanate, which are both more powerful than me. By then, my achievements will be praised by all eternity."

Maltas smiled inadvertently. This was a great irony. It was a great opportunity for Maltas. King Yarogerk didn't know that he was walking into a trap. If the plan of fighting on two fronts was really implemented, I am afraid that the lords of the entire Kingdom of Vigia would come out to oppose it. This is too dangerous. When attacking the Kingdom of Swadia, the Kingdom of Vigia suffered the greatest losses, and it also fought two battles with the Kingdom of Nord and the Khergit Khanate, which led to the gradual decline of the aristocratic power within the Kingdom of Vigia. Now is the time to reorganize the troops and be ready to go.

That's right, Maltas's wish was very simple, which was to plunge the Kingdom of Vaegir into a civil war. By then, it would become very easy for his Khergit Khanate to send troops to attack the Kingdom of Vaegir. While the two of them were fighting each other, he could reap the benefits.

The ministers of the Kingdom of Vigia inside the palace were all direct ministers of King Yarogelk. To be honest, these ministers were not very supportive of King Yarogelk. Many of them were spies planted here by nobles from all over the kingdom. When they heard that King Yarogelk was preparing to fight on two fronts, they were all trembling with fear. After all, this plan was too crazy.

Whether it is the Nordic Kingdom or the Khergit Khanate, the national strength of these two countries is much stronger than that of the Vaegir Kingdom. Therefore, if we talk about fighting on two fronts at this moment, it is equivalent to the Vaegir Kingdom facing two powerful opponents at the same time.

King Ragnar is no pushover, and Khan Saiga is no ordinary man either. The two of them shine like the sun at noon on the entire earth. Their two countries are so powerful, how could it be possible for them to annex both countries at the same time in a short period of time? Provoking enemies everywhere will only bring disaster to their own countries.

"I'm in a good mood today, so let's announce this matter to the world. Let the lords from all over the country prepare themselves and wait for my call to start attacking the Nord Kingdom and the Khergit Khanate at the same time."

King Yarogelk spoke to everyone present without restraint. If the news spread quickly, the nobles in the entire kingdom would probably stand up against King Yarogelk. They were not as crazy as King Yarogelk. They could analyze this war seriously. If the war was won, it would naturally bring benefits, but if they failed, they would suffer a catastrophe. At that time, their territory would be full of grief and no grass would grow. All the villagers would be captured to serve as strong men in the war. If people robbed certain property in the war to make up for their losses, it would be possible. Of course, the premise of this is that they can win. But if they fail, the army will be wiped out, and all the young and strong men will be lost. Who will farm? If there is no farming, how can there be income?

How many lords would be willing to follow King Yarogerk in a war that is doomed to fail?

The main reason for all this was the instigation of Maltas. It was his powerful powerlessness that made King Yarogerk more and more arrogant, thinking that Maltas was as invincible as Kadoc.

The spies of the Nordic Kingdom and the Khergit Khanate got the news at the first time, and they quickly brought the news back to their country. Everything was done to guard against the Kingdom of Vaegir. As for King Ragnar, he was also shocked by King Yarogerk's crazy plan. Although there was a Maltas who was more powerful than Kadok, it did not mean that he had no ability to fight back.

"You ignorant fellow, I am trying to attack you, but you are trying to attack me without knowing your own limitations. Let's see who can completely destroy whom!"

This was what King Ragnar silently said after receiving the news.

Soon this news spread to all the lords of the Nordic Kingdom. Wals also received such news. Wals felt that this was a crazy plan, which was exactly the same as King Ragnar's opinion. Wals had not actually fought with Kadoc or Maltas, but no matter what, it was obviously impossible to annex the entire Nordic Kingdom and the Khergit Khanate with the help of the two of them.

"His ignorance and arrogance will destroy his entire country. It's time for us to annex the Kingdom of Vaegir. It seems that we need to strengthen our military in the near future."

Walsh has keenly sensed that a major war is about to break out. Walsh knows that if he doesn't start the war now, when will he start? If the war is fought sooner, it will be more beneficial to him. After all, while he is resting, others are also resting. Walsh's enemies are licking their wounds. He is like a beast.

The turbulent times are the most realistic portrayal of the Kingdom of Vigia now. After King Zayarrogerk announced his great plan, he quickly assembled a large number of troops. He wanted to retake the Castle of Ismorola. The castle was not retaken in the last battle with the army of the Nord Kingdom this week. Due to the rush of time, now is the time to retake the castle. Maltas will also go to the battlefield in person, and his lords will see that they have another powerful general under their command, and no one will call him an ignorant guy anymore.

按照国王陛下的要求,各地的领主纷纷都带领自己的士兵前来助阵,不过很多领主都是不情愿的,毕竟这对于他们来说实在是太过于疯狂了,紧接着,雅罗格尔克光又命令德赫瑞姆的戴格兰那伯爵率领他的军队开始进攻库吉特汗国,他说自己会派一支精锐的军队前来助阵的,在对付库吉特汗国这一条战线上面,部由戴格兰那伯爵负责。

因此,亚罗格尔克国王那宏伟的计划现在就要开始展开了,马尔塔斯在黑暗之中呵呵的笑了,这离计划成功越来越近了,亚罗格尔克国王在维吉亚王国领主的心目当中,那一个昏君的形象越来越清晰,到时候掀起面内战,指日可待。

这是在库劳城的面前,亚罗格尔克国王集结权王国的领主,所做的目的自然是为了夺回伊斯摩罗拉堡。

就这样推算下去的话,亚罗格尔克国王估计在今天以内国各地的领主都会集结在库劳城的,虽然说亚罗格尔克国王也派遣了一部分军队去支援戴格兰那伯爵,因此,亚罗格尔克国王计算着这一支大军的数量,这一次他决定一举把整个诺德王国给击溃,到底要派出多少兵力,亚罗格尔克国王还要在心里默默的计算,马尔塔斯的主要作用是用来消灭诺德王国的主力部队,而追杀残兵败将自然要交给他的这一帮手下了。

马尔塔斯感觉自己的计划就快要成功了,就在昨天,自己安排的眼线,在德赫瑞姆这一座城市当中,他已经注意到了维迪姆王子和戴格兰那伯爵的会面情况,似乎戴格兰那伯爵已经和维迪姆王子达成了协议。

那么剩下的事情自然是显而易见的了,戴格兰那伯爵正在谋划着如何打洗反叛的旗帜,亚罗格尔克国王派遣给戴格兰那伯爵的那一支援军说不定就会被戴格兰那伯爵给策反了,紧接着戴格兰那伯爵一定会带领着这一支军队前去挑战亚罗格尔克国王的,因此诺德王国无论和维吉亚王国的战争是否胜利的,大局是不会变的,了不起最后的时候,库吉特汗国再出来收拾残局。

也就是在这个时候,带着南娜国际的德赫瑞姆城市附近也出现了一只维吉亚王国的领主部队,看到这些领主到来之后,改革狼打伯爵假装奉承的将这些领主给引入到了自己的城堡大厅里面,整个城堡大厅的士兵都是戴格兰那伯爵的自己人。

如果说这些领主要是对自己的意见不赞同的话,那么戴格兰那伯爵就会命令自己的士兵将那些不听从自己意见的领主通通抓起来,只要自己的手中有着筹码,就有着对抗亚罗格尔克国王的资本。

多鲁波耶是这一支军队的领导者,他本来就是老一辈的领主,因此在众人的心目当中威望极高,这也奠定了他在这一群领主当中的地位,因此,多鲁波耶是戴格兰那伯爵的首要拉拢对象,这一个对象如果拉拢成功的话,跟随着他手下的那一群领主也会一齐倒向自己,这样的话,局势对自己大大有利,多鲁波耶这一行人一共带了大约一千多名士兵,而根据这一些领主的说法,在亚罗格尔克国王身边的士兵大约有着2000名,这一次亚罗格尔克国王倾举国之力这是历来进行两线作战,很多士兵都是没有经历过沙场的新兵,戴格兰那伯爵认为亚罗格尔克国王的计划感到疯狂,不仅如此他身边的那一些领主也是如此想到的。

“多鲁波耶,最近的一段时间你过的可好?现在这一段时间可真是不太平啊,原本诺德王国和库吉特汗国来进攻我们维吉亚王国,可是风水轮流转,这一次倒是要轮到我们去进攻去进攻他们的国家了,这对于他们两个国家来说实在是天大的讽刺。”

戴格兰那伯爵强调这一次进攻的攻防转变,也着重强调亚罗格尔克国王的这一个计划明显行不通,他要制造亚罗格尔克国王在众位领主心目当中的昏君形象,把这个家伙赶下台,扶持维迪姆王子上台。

“是啊!我也不知道为什么国王陛下居然会发这样的疯,居然想要同时攻打两个国家,他们两个国家都是比我们要强大得多的国家,任何一个国家单打独斗,以现在的维吉亚王国的实力都是不如的,可是国王陛下却是狂妄自大想要同时消灭这两个国家,我认为这一个办法明显不妥。不过我们仅仅只是亚罗格尔克国王的手下而已,我们还是要听从国王陛下的安排。”

戴格兰那伯爵他已经知道了这一场拉拢一定会有出其不意的效果的,维迪姆王子就被他安排在城堡大厅的暗处,必要的时候他会把维迪姆王子给拉出来,现在的当务之急就是说服这一位领主,他是最有声望的一位领主。

“不如这样吧,我就直截了当和你说吧,我现在很为这个国家感觉到担忧,国王陛下这样不审视一下自己的力量就茫然发起进攻,势必会使整个维吉亚王国陷入到战火之中,这样的话,我们一定会遭受到灾难的。”

不知不觉当中,戴格兰那伯爵和多鲁波耶的立场居然趋于一致,多鲁波耶原本瞧不起戴格兰那伯爵他的出身,因为它原本就是一个亡国之奴。

但是现在他们在政治立场上面难得有相同的意见,多鲁波耶首先考虑自己的利益,然后再考虑国家的利益,在这样的情况之下,维吉亚王国如果战败无论是国家利益还是自身利益都将受到损失,因此多鲁波耶自然是不希望亚罗格尔克国王发起这一场前无古人后无来者的恐怖战争。这简直就是不自量力。就算有着卡多克,就算又是那一个新冒出来的马尔塔斯,也无法打败这两个强大的国家。

“那么你有什么好主意呢?陛下现在是听不进我们的话了。”

多鲁波耶渐渐把自己的头靠向了戴格兰那伯爵,他们两个正在说着悄悄话,其他的领主也都将自己的眼珠子时不时的飘到他们两个人身上。

“很简单,我们逼他退位,换一个更合法,更英明的人来顶替他的位置。”

“什么!?”

这话直接就吓的多鲁波耶一大跳!

“这话你也敢说!”

面对多鲁波耶的指责,戴格兰那伯爵脸上突然浮现一丝轻蔑的笑容。

“这个国王的位置它来之不正,况且现在他的领导已经正在将整个维吉亚王国脱路恐怖的深渊当中,这样的人既不合法也不英明,又有什么资格坐在国王的位置上面?况且对于多鲁波耶你来说,维吉亚王国正在陷入万劫不复之地,势必会损害到你,到时候生灵涂炭,我们这些领主也没有什么好日子过,这也是为国家考虑。”

多鲁波耶沉默了!

他清楚的知道这一场战争的胜算几率根本就不大,就算有着卡多克,就算他今天见识过卡多克的力量他也绝对不相信一个卡多克就能够抵挡着千军万马,当初斯瓦迪亚王国拥有卡多克,可是还是结果还不是一样的,斯瓦迪亚王国灭亡了。

“那么去哪里找一个更加英明,更加合法的一个人来重新成为我们的国王?”

戴格兰那伯爵已经知道了,他还有这机会能够说服多鲁波耶。

“这样的人远在天边但却近在眼前。”

戴格兰那伯爵手一指,栽着一处城堡大厅的一处不惹人注意的黑暗角落里面突然就走出来了一个人影。

那一个人就是维吉亚王国的私生子维迪姆王子。

“维迪姆王子!?”

多鲁波耶大叫一声,那些领主们也都发现了维迪姆王子的存在,亚罗格尔克国王是不会允许维迪姆王子出现在维吉亚王国的境内的,因此每一个领主都必须把维迪姆王子给驱逐出境,可是戴格兰那伯爵却没有这样做。

那样的话,他要做的事情已经不言而喻了。

在在场的所有人都惊慌失措的目光当中,戴格兰那伯爵起身走到维迪姆王子的身边。

向他下跪行礼,这一个举动不言而喻,就知道戴格兰那伯爵已经投入到了维迪姆王子所谓的事业当中。

“我是维吉亚王国的合法宣称者,亚罗格尔克国王正在把维吉亚王国带入万劫不复之地,我比他更加一名更加更加伟大,相信我,我能够把这个国家带入一个新的天地,在座的领主们,你们有多少愿意跟随着我?”

多鲁波耶瞬间就反应过来了,原来刚才戴格兰那伯爵一心一意就是想要拉拢自己,投入到维迪姆王子的事业当中。

He quickly calculated the pros and cons in his mind. King Yarogerk was pushing the Kingdom of Vijia into an irretrievable situation. This not only harmed the interests of the entire country, but also his own interests. It seemed that he should follow Prince Vidim in terms of both emotion and reason.

No! I should first listen to how he would rule a country. This might be an opportunity for me, an opportunity to control this country.

Then he looked at the lords he brought with him. They all turned their eyes to him. It turned out that these lords had regarded him as the main leader here and seemed to be waiting for his words.

"Prince Vidim, you want us to follow you, so please tell me why I should follow you."

This was too easy for Prince Vidim. He had been waiting for this moment for too long, waiting for it all the time. His words were very clear.

“King Yarogerk is arrogant and ignorant, and wants to fight on two fronts.
