Chapter 487 Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers
North of the dynasty, the city of ice and fire.

The winter is as cold as ice and the summer is as hot as fire, which is the origin of the city's name.

The City of Ice and Fire is an important city in the north of the dynasty, facing the Empire of Kareni and the Kingdom of Gasili City from afar. No matter whether it is the Empire or the Kingdom, if they want to invade the territory of the dynasty, they must pass through the City of Ice and Fire to officially enter the dynasty.

Now the City of Ice and Fire is in danger.

A little further outside the city, flags of various colors fluttered in the warm spring breeze.

There was a camp of 70-strong coalition forces from vassal states of the empire. A few days ago, this coalition had disregarded international law, openly stepped into the northern border of the dynasty, and launched an attack on a small border town, which constituted an illegal invasion.

The City of Ice and Fire is stationed with three regular legions and 9 garrisons.

As the country was in a state of disrepair, the 9 defenders were not equipped with a war airship fleet, but only seven patrol airships. It was a bit difficult for people to resist the enemy's troops, but they understood the importance of the City of Ice and Fire, so no one stepped back before receiving the order.

Fortunately, the City of Ice and Fire has a crystal hub.

Therefore, the coalition forces of various countries failed to break through the City of Ice and Fire in a short period of time, which directly threatened the entire northern part of the dynasty.

Of course, if the coalition forces of various countries attacked the city at all costs, these 9 defenders would probably collapse in less than five days. Unfortunately, the so-called coalition forces could not unite as one, so the delay has lasted for ten days.

The command room of the coalition forces of various countries.

On both sides of an oval conference table sat kings from various countries.

Sitting on the main seat was the king of the Baya Principality, Reynolds Baya. He was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces this time and the most powerful principality among the 18 countries. Under the special permission of the empire, the country had two standard aviation corps.

need to know.

The Empire has direct jurisdiction over the military of its vassal states, and without special approval, no vassal state is allowed to possess strategic weapons such as war airships.

"Everyone."

Reynolds Baya looked around and then slowly said, "The Ice and Fire City has been under attack for a long time. I called you all here to ask for your opinions. It is not a solution to continue to drag it on like this."

"Humph, if it weren't for the fact that Lanfu Principality didn't work hard, this Ice and Fire City would have been taken down long ago."

"Grand Duke Qifei, you are the only one among all the nations who has no right to teach me a lesson!"

"Grand Duke Lanfu is right. I can still vividly remember the time it took the Principality of Qifei five hours to travel and ten minutes to attack."

"Tactics! Tactics! This is our tactics. Do you, a bunch of weaklings, know what tactics are?"

"I've long heard that Duke Qifei is extremely shameless. It's true that hearing about him is not as good as meeting him in person."

"..."

There was a lot of noise and chaos among the countries in the conference room. No one wanted their subordinates to suffer any losses and everyone was trying to shirk responsibility.

boom!
The commander-in-chief, Grand Duke Reynolds Baya, finally couldn't stand it anymore. He slammed the table and said, "Be quiet, everyone. Since no one is willing to contribute, then we, the Principality of Baya, will fight this battle. But don't forget the gains from this war. The Empire promises not to take a single cent. When the war gains are distributed, don't blame me for working harder and getting more."

Hit the nail on the head.

As soon as Reynolds finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent.

The countries present did not take the dynasty seriously. If it were not for the constraints of the empire and the international situation, they would have long planned to take action against the dynasty, this fat sheep. Now, not only can they officially take action, but the empire will also give up the spoils of war. This kind of good thing does not always come.

Generally speaking.

When the countries fight together, 60% of the war spoils must be handed over to the empire, and the remaining 40% is divided equally among the countries. There is no such thing as how much you can get based on how much effort you put in.

But this time it was clearly different.

Reynolds has made his attitude clear: whoever contributes more will be able to obtain more benefits, and the principality that does not contribute will certainly not be able to obtain any property.

"How can you trouble Grand Duke Baya with such a small matter?"

Grand Duke Qifei put on a righteous face and said, "I think I will organize another attack tomorrow. This time I guarantee to capture the City of Ice and Fire and open the road to conquest for you."

"Are you going to stage another farce of traveling for five hours and attacking for ten minutes?" "Asshole, are you going to start a war? I told you that it was a tactic!"

"Attack the City of Ice and Fire. This is the responsibility of my Principality of Noor."

"..."

Seeing everyone competing to contribute, Reynolds Baya looked at these greedy people with disdain.

Are you trying to break your head for a little benefit?
Reynolds was already prepared to hand over his share of the war proceeds to the empire. By then, even though he had not contributed much and had not even lost any troops, he would be able to please the empire and become the biggest winner of this battle.

But just as the countries were fighting for the victory, a soldier walked in.

"Report, the Holy Dynasty sent a warning letter."

"Warning letter? Hahahaha——"

After hearing the soldier's words and reading Vega's warning letter, all the kings laughed out loud.

"Ask us to withdraw our troops and pay compensation? The dynasty really has no self-awareness."

As soon as one of the kings finished speaking, Grand Duke Lanfu immediately replied: "Please look, everyone. It says that once the war starts, no surrender of any kind will be accepted. Hahahaha."

Grand Duke Qifei also laughed so hard that he couldn't stop: "Excuse me, this joke is enough to make me laugh for a whole year."

But at this time, the King of the Principality of Nur, Grand Duke Nur, stood up and said, "But I heard that the military commander of the dynasty is that Vega."

"Who is Vega? I've never heard of him."

Grand Duke Nur looked towards the source of the voice and said, "Grand Duke Or, you have lived outside the Great Wall for a long time, so of course you have never heard of Vega. Rumor has it that he was a brigadier general of the Empire at the age of 13, and later rebelled against the Empire and joined the Dynasty. He is also the general ranked first on the Kingdom's War Threat List."

"13 years old? That's really an exaggeration. What's there to be afraid of for a child who is still wet behind the ears?"

The King of Lunla immediately agreed, "That's right. I think this is just a move by the dynasty to build momentum. Even if that kid is really capable, how can our 70-strong coalition of countries retreat without a fight?"

"Hahaha!"

A burly man laughed loudly, "I think we should also send a letter to that Vega, telling them that if they don't surrender immediately, we will definitely break through their so-called Faith Saint Laurent City and seize that kid's fiancée, Xia Saint Laurent."

"Grand Duke Yuri has a good idea."

"Second." "Second." "Second..."

Everyone said nothing, and did not take Vega's warning letter seriously.

Small countries are restricted by their environment and do not pay much attention to the international situation. Their understanding of Vega is very limited. Most of them think that Vega is just a product of public opinion created by the dynasty to rally the military morale. This is the same as the saying that summer insects cannot talk about ice.

And this time they have a coalition force of 70.

Some small countries have a national army of only a few hundred thousand. This astronomical number is a devastating force in their eyes. Moreover, some principalities were vassals of the kingdom in the last world war and had fought against the dynasty.

In their subconscious, the level of the dynasty's army was just that.

At best, the dynasty possessed independent political and military power and existed as a vassal state of the larger empire.

Now Wang Chao overestimated his own capabilities and dared to issue a warning letter, which made them completely regard this letter as a laughing stock.

It is like everyone is on the same level. At best, the dynasty seeks the protection of the empire in the name of an ally, and they are loyal to the empire in the form of a vassal state. However, the dynasty rebels against the empire, not only using force against the empire, but also wants to be on an equal footing with the empire.

Be it jealousy or disdain.

The 18-nation coalition finally sent out their communication disc, which was placed intact on Vega's desk.

Either surrender or charge into Saint Laurent and take his queen?
When Vega saw the disc, he did not get angry but laughed instead. If Admiral Tanier Rheinberg of the Kingdom and Lieutenant General Eskar of the Empire saw this brilliant smile, they would probably be scared to death.
