Chapter 64 Late support is not support.
Lann thought for a moment: "I want to send some supplies to Brochilon."
He had planned to strengthen the construction of Brochilon town before returning to Sintra, and now might be the right time. Opportunity.
But East shook his head and said regretfully: "You may have to solve this problem yourself. We are currently at war, and craftsmen and materials must be given priority to the front line." Lann thought again: "How about letting me go to the front line
? I've been in the city defense army for a long time, and it's time to go to the battlefield. And I can control my own spoils, right?"
Lann needs more channels to gain experience. Now he has surpassed the strength of mortals and is strong enough to fight on the battlefield. Guaranteed. Moreover, he is more flexible when leading troops outside, making it easier for him to respond if there are major changes.
Calanthe slapped the table: "You are the last Lannister, and you cannot go to the battlefield. And you have never had any descendants. I will arrange some cocktail parties for you in a while, just wait!" Lann's mouth twitched
.
In the end, he could only say: "Then there are always some alchemy materials or spellcasting materials in the king's treasury, right? Auntie, you never use these on the battlefield. They are not considered war preparation materials. How about I take some?
" No. Cintra advocates force and neglects the use of magic and the recruitment of sorcerers. The treasury's collection of alchemy and magic materials is mainly to enrich the diversity of the royal collection, and basically no one will use it at ordinary times.
If it weren't for Mossak's support, Cintra could be said to be insulated from magic.
"Of course there is no problem, Lan." East said, "Don't think too much, we will compensate you after we drive Nilfgaard away."
Calanthe, after hearing Lan's request She frowned, but she did not stop East from making a promise to Lan. She just said afterward:
"I heard Mossack mention that you seem to be obsessed with magic. I don't object to your hobbies, but Lan, you You must know that you are a knight and an earl, and you have a more important mission..."
Lann used his muscle memory and nodded mechanically. The purpose of the Queen and his wife coming to him today has been basically completed.
But now he looked at the former king of Skellige, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
It seems that in the original work, the direct cause of Cintra's defeat was a huge defeat in a valley that Lan had forgotten.
In this battle, the Skellige reinforcements that were supposed to arrive as reinforcements failed to arrive due to a storm at sea or other extreme weather, leaving the Cintra army isolated and helpless. This battle not only burned the last elite of Cintra to the ground, but also caused King East to be shot to death by a stray arrow.
What if Skellige's reinforcements could have arrived earlier? Could things have been different?
Lan suddenly said: "Uncle, regarding our war with Nilfgaard, I have some questions to ask you: Will Skelet provide support for our confrontation with Nilfgaard?" The battle had just begun
. Thinking of asking for help to boost others' ambitions? When Calanthe heard this, the proud lioness of Cintra was about to get angry when East's hand gently placed on her shoulder.
"Lan, it's good that you can think of this. It took me a lot of effort to persuade your aunt to let me go back to my hometown to discuss support." East smiled and said, "It seems that you also have good military talents. It's a pity that this rare training opportunity didn't let you go to the battlefield." "
It's just that our situation is not yet at the point where we must provide support. In theory, we won't reach that point, so you don't have to worry too much. But if the situation is really critical, At this critical moment, Skellig will never be stingy about lending a helping hand. After all, I am here, don’t worry."
Lann shook his head and said: "I was just thinking that Skellig is our closest and most powerful person. Our allies are the first and last friends we will consider—"
When he said this, Lann smiled at King East.
"But this support force came from the sea. I have never been to the sea, but I have heard a lot about the vagaries of the sea from sailors. I was wondering if I call for help at a critical moment, will it be too late?" "Yes?
" Isn't it possible that we let Skellig's army set off early? If we are in crisis when they arrive, it will be a timely help; if our situation is good at that time, we can take this opportunity to counterattack Nilfgaard and save both of us. Open up the country and expand the territory."
Calanthe couldn't listen anymore. The lioness was about to roar, but her husband's hand on her shoulder was slightly stronger.
The Queen turned to look at him with displeasure on her face.
East didn't seem to notice. He pondered for a while and said to Lan: "Lan, things involving the mobilization of the army are more complicated. The gathering of multiple families in Skelet, the refitting of the troops, and the subsequent transportation of baggage all depend on each other." Contact is also very costly. If a large force is recruited in advance, it may not be as good for Cintra as fighting against Nilfgaard alone. I know
what you are worried about. You can rest assured about the Skelet sailors. Then They are all veterans who have fought in the huge waves for dozens of generations. They will be fine."
Lann still refused to give up: "Then at least we can divide the army into several groups to avoid being completely blocked by an accident.
" Lancer finally couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and yelled: "Do you know that will increase a lot of unnecessary losses? A small group of soldiers can easily be swallowed up by a large number of enemies ready to attack!" On the other hand,
Yi Ste did not speak. After listening to Lan's words, he fell into deep thought.
Lann said: "But isn't fighting in small groups the best way of fighting for the Skellit people? And on the sea, who else would have a large-scale navy except Skellit?"
Lann was finally roared by the lioness. Kicked out.
Queen Calanthe drove all the attendants out with a cold face and drank glass after glass of wine.
Seeing his lover's appearance, East chuckled and stopped thinking. He gently stepped forward and hugged his wife, who was famous for her beauty in the northern countries.
"You dote on him too much, my love. Lann is like this, and Ciri is like this." "
But they are both good kids, aren't they? Lann is, and Ciri is too. Why do you always disagree with the two of them? What? If I remember correctly, Lann's bloodline has been separated from Ciri by five or six generations, and there has been no ethical problem for a long time. They just have a deep relationship, why don't you agree?" I felt the king burying his nose into himself
. In her hair, Calanthe caressed her lover's cheek and sighed, "Because I'm afraid." "
Oh? My lioness is also afraid of something?"
