Weisbach Palace, the Duke's office and study on the top floor.
"There are three knight fights in total. In theory, the winner is the one who wins two of them," Ludwig said solemnly. "But according to convention, even if one side wins the first two games, it will politely continue to play to the end to show respect for the knight who attends the last game."
"Of course, the victory of a knight's fight itself is only a symbol of honor, and is actually useless. The key lies in the deterrent force brought by the fight itself. Since the war is imminent, the participants in the battle must be the strongest forces that both families can openly mobilize."
"The lowest bottom line we can accept is one win and two losses. Even if people below are uneasy, there are ways to save the situation. The Lang family's envoy's invitation to fight this time must be for the purpose of winning all three games."
"If Weisbach loses all three battles, it will definitely have a pessimistic effect on the family knights, because it implies that we are far inferior to the opponent in terms of high-end combat power."
"Really?" Ask asked, "The knights may only care about the result of the fight, but you two should have a deeper understanding of the strength of the Wolf family, right?"
Ludwig and Henry looked at each other and smiled bitterly:
“We are indeed slightly inferior to each other.”
"The Wolf family made its fortune in the Duchy of Burgundy and indirectly controlled the Lombardy Territory. The area of the territory is twice the size of Bavaria. It also borders the West Frankish Kingdom and the Holy See. The population and wealth are far greater than ours."
"Plus, since they responded to the call of the Holy See this time, the Holy See will certainly provide a large amount of technology and material supplies, and the Duchy of Franconia's attitude is ambiguous, which makes it impossible for Bavaria to establish a smooth material transportation route with His Majesty the Emperor, so..."
"So your equipment is definitely inferior to the other side." Ask concluded, "You can only find a warrior with stronger strength to balance your own disadvantages."
Ludwig and Henry were speechless. That's right, otherwise why would we go for Richard Turner as a foreign aid, but why does your words sound a bit awkward? Are you really not bragging about yourself
"In fact, the difference in equipment is not that big." Ludwig said stiffly, "Look, didn't the other side also find a talented swordsman like Meyer as an external aid? This shows that they are not sure whether they can win all three games, so they are doing everything possible to increase the bargaining chips of this battle."
"That's true." Ask said, "As long as the opponent doesn't come with a nuclear missile launcher, I don't think the equipment gap will have much impact."
Hey! This guy is really crazy! What he meant is that the gap between his opponent and him in strength can only be made up by weapons of the nuclear bomb level!
Henry turned his head in disbelief and gave his brother a speechless look that said, "Is this guy really reliable?" and "Are you kidding me again?"
"Haha, Lord Ask is really humorous. A nuclear bomb launcher is of course impossible, but weapons of the high-frequency shockwave sword level might appear." Ludwig signaled to his younger brother to stay calm.
The so-called high-frequency vibration sword is a high-tech weapon that uses extremely high-frequency blade vibration to destroy defensive materials. Since this weapon has extremely high requirements on the strength of its own materials, the Holy See is the only one in the world who has mastered its manufacturing method.
