Chapter 402: Chaos and Change


In this way, the alliance against Kalman IV was full of internal contradictions, and the struggle for power between Archduke Christian and Prince Henry split the alliance. otbnkotgt When conflicts come and go like this, individuals will feel headaches.

Although William believed that his ability was greater than theirs, so was his fist.

But if he were asked to join that alliance, scheming with a group of bastards, and then become the leader of the alliance, and work hard to win the war, he would still be grateful.

Of course, there is another possibility that William was brought into their rhythm by those bastards, his IQ was lowered to the same level, and then he was defeated by them with more experience or something.

William felt very unhappy when he thought of this.

So he decided to protect himself wisely.

We must oppose Kalman IV.

If you don't oppose this guy, how can you get to the top if you knock him down?

But opposing Kalman IV does not mean joining that messy alliance.

William and his Hereford family had enough strength and consciousness to start anew.

One family formed an army and faced the chaos of this war alone.

William didn't think he would fail.

Just like that, it’s July.

Kalman IV finally collected enough military expenditures and recruited enough mercenaries as quickly as possible.

In addition to his imperial guards, there were also a very small number of noble feudal soldiers.

A total of 60,000 troops were assembled.

The number of Kalman IV's troops was much smaller than that of his enemies.

Moreover, the support given to him by his three allies, the Duke of Bern, the "King Wende" and the King of Romania, is only verbal at present.

Both the material and the military are very good But Kalman IV is still very confident.

He believed he could win and his tactics were very simple.

Although the alliance army is more than his, it takes the entire alliance army combined to reach that number.

And Kalman IV believed that they would not succeed.

He can form a local advantage.

Although the enemy's troops were numerous, none of them was more numerous than him individually.

He can easily form a local advantage and then defeat them one by one.

Of course, even if the alliance really joins forces, Kalman IV will not be afraid.

The coalition forces that are full of contradictions will inevitably undermine each other and hold each other back.

If they are like this, they may not be as good as fighting alone.

"Those guys who are coming forward now are nothing to worry about."

In the barracks on the outskirts of Vienna, looking at the soldiers who were training hard, Kalman IV smiled and felt calm: "What is really worrying is now Two bastards who haven’t come on stage yet.”

Britons, and Russia.

These two forces that have not yet intervened in the war are what Kalman IV is really worried about.

Although the British soldiers were a little timid, they could not resist the fact that the British were rich.

In this era where money means soldiers, the Britons can rely on their own economic strength to crush opponents whose economies are inferior to their own.

Kalman IV was confident that he could defeat this so-called Protestant alliance.

But when it came to truly facing Briton, Kalman IV lacked confidence.

"Besides that, there's that kid."

Thinking of Russia, or to be more precise, thinking of William, Kalman IV couldn't help but frown.

He felt that he couldn't figure out what William was thinking or what William was going to do.

His attitude is too ambiguous.

His actions were also too ambiguous.

Sometimes, Kalman IV even felt that William posed a greater threat to him than Briton.

"I hope a Wende and a Porodsk can satisfy his appetite.

It's just that that bastard actually joined my army, which is very difficult."

Thinking of this, Kalman IV felt a headache Yes, the legitimate King Wende also responded to the emperor's alliance with great fanfare.

King Henry was nothing short of an imperial loyalist.

But secretly, Kalman IV had made an agreement with William, and he would acquiesce to the Hereford family sending troops to annex the entire Kingdom of Wende.

So William will definitely fight King Henry and fight Shilonsk.

When the two sides go to war, what will Kalman IV do?

Supporting William would be a slap in the face.

After all, King Henry responded to his call immediately and joined his camp.

He was attacked, but he did nothing.

This made everyone in the empire think and think.

But it would not be good to support King Henry.

He also had an agreement with William, although it was just a secret agreement.

But William can undoubtedly use this secret agreement as an excuse.

He originally made great sacrifices in order to win over the Kingdom of Russia.

Are we going to waste all our previous efforts for the sake of a mere grand duchy in Shilonsk, and then force the Hereford family to side with their opponents?

"This is really a bastard.

Could that little bastard have known that things would develop to this point, so he deliberately set a trap for me?"

When he thought of this, Kalman IV became very angry.

It was already ugly to be plotted against, not to mention that the person plotting against him was a child old enough to be his grandson.

This made Kalman IV even more angry.

It's just a pity that Kalman IV has no way to deal with William for the time being.

There was nothing else he could do but curse this bastard without a king or father to die early and go to hell.

"After I win this war, I will never spare him."

Kalman IV thought this in his heart more than once.

Just like that, in early July, Kalman IV led his 60,000-strong army westward to attack neighboring Franconia.

He must first defeat this traitor, who is currently the highest-status bastard in the Rebel Alliance, in order to frighten the enemy.

At the same time, after receiving the order from Kalman IV, the Bernese hesitated briefly, and then formed a small force of more than 3,000 people, preparing to launch an attack from behind Franconia.

The tactics of these mercenary mountain people are very clear.

They will not confront the Franconian army head-on.

They only serve as harassment and guerrilla tactics.

They would not even want to fight any of the Franconian armies if they could.

With the expedition of Kalman IV.

This sectarian war has finally moved beyond the stage of rhetoric and developed into an actual war.

When the news came, the Protestant Alliance was silent for a while.

Those guys who had shouted slogans so loudly suddenly recalled one thing, that is, their enemy Kalman IV was an extremely terrifying opponent.

His army, his Their skills are definitely not comparable to those of these little shrimps.

For a time, the entire Protestant Union was in chaos.

Many nobles neither had the courage to gather together to form a large army to fight against King Kalman IV, nor did they have the sentiment to lead an army to Franconia to help Prince Henry defend himself.

These guys dispersed their respective armies, and then hid in their own fortresses.

In the fortress, they had the bastard virtue of being passively beaten and waiting for Kalman IV a to come over and surrender.

"It's so bad.

How can these guys be so bad?"

After hearing the news, William couldn't help but chuckle.

Although he knew from the beginning that the so-called Protestant Alliance could not be Kalman IV's opponent, at least they had nearly twice as many troops as Kalman IV.

Can't we have a hard ping-pong-pong fight and then talk about other things?

It's simply rubbish.

From this incident, William understood that even though he had made a lot of preparations in advance, after the incident started, it was still impossible to proceed as he imagined.

In the previous civil war, the princes of the North were killed by Kalman IV.

Especially in Lotharnia, many minor nobles couldn't help but tremble when they heard the name of Kalman IV.

It is really difficult for these weak chickens to fight against Kalman IV.

"Victoria must be hating her so much now."

William thought in his heart.

At the same time, I also started to think that maybe I should start quickly.

"Get ready."

So William ordered the Cheka leader who was in charge of the matter: "We need the public opinion representatives in Riga and other areas of Polotsk to persuade us to come in again.

This time we must do our best to maximize the momentum.

Don't care about spending money, don't care about dead people.

Use all your strength and let the whole world know that I am the king of Polotsk."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hearing what William said, the Cheka leader in charge also looked quite excited.

After agreeing, he left in a hurry to make preparations for the matter.

"Are you ready?"

Elise next to William asked after seeing him leave.

"Yes."

William nodded: "The Archbishop of Porodsk has promised to crown me.

That's no problem."

"Where is the Roman Church?"

"We have decided to choose the Protestant alliance," William replied: "So there is no need to worry about the Roman Church this time.

I will accept the persuasion and then be crowned King of Polotsk.

After that, the army of the Hereford family Will attack Shilonsk as quickly as possible” Thinking of this, William's eyes almost glowed.

He came to Shilonsk.

This goal that he had been planning for an unknown amount of time could finally be achieved this time. 160420oshow7:
