Chapter 218 Pompey joins the war!

The kingdom and Dante were at war, and the known roads had long been blocked. He didn't understand how this army could have reached him.

"Do you think the main road is the only way to go?" Charlotte sneered.

"Could it be... that you came here by crossing the Mingling Snow Mountain?" Hart widened his eyes.

The snowy mountain was tall and majestic, and extremely cold all year round. It was a natural barrier between Pompeii and Dante, and no army could pass through it.

Naturally, no one would send people to block it.

"Nothing can block the glory of the goddess." Weijia said seriously.

They did cross the Mingling Snow Mountain.

When she first heard about this plan, she could hardly believe her ears. However, the messenger of God simply said one sentence:

"They are God's people, and the snow-capped mountains are their pilgrimage route."

So the plan was decided.

Although many saints died on this difficult journey, they still succeeded.

"I am a distant relative of Earl Ace. Please allow me to redeem myself." Harber suddenly said loudly.

Charlotte smiled and said, "Redeem yourself? You can, but you can't use gold coins, you can only use faith."

"Faith? What is that? Oh no!"

It was Vega's staff that answered him.

Three days later, another city in Pompeii's eastern border also fell quietly.

The Lord of Bonn was originally making love in bed when suddenly an alarm bell rang.

Bonn quickly donned his armor and mounted his horse, rushing to the city wall with his guards.

When he arrived, the battle was over and waiting for him were the holy people who filled the city walls.

They looked at him quietly, as if they were looking at prey.

"Who are you!"

Bonn drew his sword, pointed at the city wall and shouted.

You dare to attack an important city in the kingdom? This is rebellion! Call your lord out!"

No one answered him.

The Lord of Bonn shouted again, but still no one answered.

At some point, groups of "farmers" with wooden expressions came out from all directions and surrounded him and his guards.

Ah!
The shrill screams echoed through the night.

Charlotte quietly captured three more small towns.

Then she lay dormant and began to digest her harvest.

On the surface, there was nothing unusual in the cities and the citizens continued to live their lives as usual.

However, several Dawn Churches have begun to be built in full swing, and the blacksmith shops and weapon workshops in the city are also producing day and night.

The top leaders of the Kingdom of Pompeii were still kept in the dark about all this.

At this moment, they are arguing over a resolution.

Pompey's Palace has become a battlefield over the past few days, and the civil and military ministers are on the verge of direct combat.

"Pompey can no longer live in the snowy land. We must raise the sword of war!"

A young man in his twenties said this with absolute certainty.

“Ace, do you know the consequences of declaring war on Dante’s country?

That’s an original country!
Titus is a very brave warrior, and Dante's army is well-known for its fighting skills. We are courting our own destruction!"

An official in charge of finance said angrily.

"I've already said that Dante can't even protect himself right now, so why should he be afraid?
In the west, they were in danger of being crushed by the Holy Alliance.

In the south, they were defeated repeatedly by the Turanian army."

Ace said confidently:

“Although the North is safe for now, my spies reported that the Frozen Earth Warriors have come out in full force this time and will not retreat easily.

In the east, the cavalry of Borosa and Heinxi are on display."

In front of a huge wall map, Ace spoke with a proud attitude that was not in line with his age.

He punched Dante hard on the northwest corner and shouted:
“So, this is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

If we can occupy the land northwest of Dante, then the Kingdom of Pompeii may be the next Pompeii Original Kingdom!
The swords of today will open up a family business that will last for a hundred years."

"Humph! Since when did young people become so impetuous and arrogant?"

An elderly earl said disdainfully.

He was the Count of Kazan and the oldest count in Pompeii. His words resonated with many old people.

Ace paused for a moment and said meaningfully:
"If age can solve the problem, then why don't you squeeze out that supreme Dante?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer reminded:
"Count Ace, please be careful with your words. Even if you are the heir of the House of Constantinople, you must give Count Kazan enough respect."

"No, I was just stating a simple truth, not being disrespectful.

The light of the old era will eventually go out, and the dawn of a new era has arrived.

If we are still obsessed with the illusion of the past and do not see the changes in the world, then Pompeii will eventually be led to decay. "

This sentence seemed to touch everyone.

"I agree with Earl Ace."

"I agree too." Many people echoed.

Many nobles have long been convinced of Ace, the most talented count in Pompeii in the past twenty years.

In fact, he has another name, the Iceman.

Because the count always acted with extreme calmness and rigor and almost never made mistakes.

Seeing this, Marshal Bo Su, who had been silent, spoke up:

"Kazan, Mainz, time has made you lose your courage and fighting spirit.

The present Dante country is on the decline, like a snowy owl with broken wings, no longer to be feared.

So I support Ace."

Then Wang Xiang also spoke:

“I agree with the Marshal.

The Kingdom of Pompeii has been working hard for a hundred years to achieve its original state, and now the best opportunity is right in front of us. "

Moreover, Turan has promised that as long as we take action, they will attack Dante with all their strength, making Dante unable to support the northwest.

At this time, all we need is courage.”

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Count Kazan and several old ministers looked heartbroken.

They all looked towards the throne.

There was their wise king.

On the bearskin throne, an extremely burly man was sitting silently, listening patiently to the quarrel below.

Seeing several ministers looking at him, the man hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly:
"I, Moravec, am honored to be the King of Pompeii and rule the land of snow. First of all, I would like to thank you all for your support.

Back then, our ancestors used supreme military force to end the chaos in the Snow Region, and from then on, the foundation of Pompeii was established.

However, the snowy region is barren, and many people starve to death during the harsh winter, so the tribesmen live in great hardship.

Although I am not talented, I have been incompetent in civil affairs over the years and the situation has improved. However, I still feel overwhelmed.

Then I finally understood——

The snowy land is a bitter land after all, how can it compare to Dante's prosperity."

Moravec stood up, stood with his hands behind his back facing the ministers, and continued:

"Given the current situation, Dante's collapse is imminent, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us.

If I do not take the so-called unowned land, God will punish me.

So I decided that from now on, I would mobilize all my troops to expand our territory.

Although you are arguing in the court, you are all planning for Pompey, so there is no need to worry about each other. "

Moravec bowed deeply after he finished speaking.

"Please work together with me to create a prosperous world."

"Pompey's era is prosperous and the king is wise." A group of ministers began to compliment him.

"Alas... Pompey's end has come." Count Kazan sighed deeply.

In the Western Territory of Dante, in the tent of Grand Duke Lennon, the Grand Duke and Winniston and others were studying the map with serious expressions.

At this moment, many places on the map are marked in red.

This is the lost territory, which now occupies half of Lennon Territory.

"We have less and less room for strategic maneuvering." The Archduke sighed.

At this moment, Owen suddenly rushed in, looking extremely anxious:
"Your Excellency the Duke, the Kingdom of Pompeii has sent out troops!
Last night they captured the Rising Sun City in Winniston County!"

Snapped!
The map pole in Lennon's hand broke in two.

Grand Duchess Winiston was furious.
