Chapter 567

When lorenthal returned to clancia, it was the end of July, and then the whole country began to mobilize for war.

At the beginning of September, the weather turned a little cooler. Frost Rose's army crossed the border of new Vilga and moved westward. Hoplaner was in a hurry.

Caritas headquarters, conference hall.

Black petals and purple stamens of lacquer night flowers are printed in the center of the hall wall, below which is a large oval table.

A representative read the report for the first time.

"According to the information we have, there are about 200000 vanguard troops of the other side this time, of which 30000 are cavalry. And there are also five legions of about 800 statues with the army. The fighting power of the statues ranges from 4 to 6. "

"The army was led by Jenkins, a 57 year old general of ruhrna. He graduated from ruhrna National Military Academy. He served as a border defense officer and head of the mopping up army. Now he is promoted to the rank of major general."

"Today, our standing army in new Vega is no more than 50000 people, plus the private soldiers and temporary mercenaries of the major chambers of Commerce, we can probably make up 100000 people. Thanks to the perennial trade needs, our horse reserve is still sufficient. If we collect horses temporarily, we can gather 50000 cavalry. "

After listening to the analysis, the people below began to discuss in a low voice, and then a representative asked.

"That is to say, there are only 150000 soldiers with adequate military training on our side, and 50000 of them are cavalry at most, right?"

"Yes, but in terms of the equipment of ordinary soldiers, there is no obvious difference between the two sides."

"Because of our trade with ruerna in the early years, the armor, swords and so on we obtained were all made of fine steel, which is better than other countries in Xuehua's seven countries."

"Now, in terms of ordinary soldiers alone, we are not far behind the other side, and we have the advantage of local operations. 150000 is equal to 200000."

"However, the other side has obvious advantages in the aspects of the supernatural, the magic statue and the airship."

"In normal combat, the opponent can rely on the magic statue to resist long-range shooting, such as bows and arrows, and then advance the front to destroy walls and towers. At the same time, the bombing of mages and airships can also kill the dense army on a large scale. Once there is no equal means of confrontation, our army will collapse rapidly after the war. "

After listening to this analysis, someone asked, "are there any additional aid from the clancia and Chuyue councils?"

"Clancia has been mobilized. It is said that the army has moved to the border. On the other side of the little moon Council, frost rose has sent naval warships and cruise airships to patrol and intercept the Jingyue Strait to stop the aid from us."

"Considering the size of the frost rose, the little moon Council may not make a decision to stand with us in full resistance. Because the other side is an archipelago country, it is difficult to completely unify domestic opinions. It will be very difficult to stand with us completely without being attacked by the other side. "

"In the past, assistance could be achieved only by a small number of extraordinary people, but now frost rose is a war against our country. If we continue to help us, it means that we will become enemies with frost rose, which is what their domestic nobles don't want to see."

"Although the mages of the little moon Council occupied a lot of seats, the nobles of the red berry duchy still retained a lot of power. They would not make decisions with great risks and little benefits."

"In the past, the support was easy to achieve only because the mages of the little moon Council were the majority and the scale was not large. Now, it is not so easy."

"It seems that this time we've been holding out on our own for some time." A representative said with a sigh.

"Yes, it will be at least two weeks before the reinforcements of clancia arrive, and even if they do, our difficulties will not be solved immediately, because the follow-up troops of frost rose will gradually enter the battlefield."

"Airships and demons are still the problems we have to face."

"But now it's the only way. Fortunately, the little moon Council secretly left many mages on our side, which can help us resist the attack of the other side. "

"The wall of hoplaner is not very high. Because of its continuous expansion, many walls have been demolished over the years, and the newly built walls are not very thick. Once the enemy bombed with the magic statue, it would only take half a day to demolish them."

"Therefore, we'd better fight in the field, rely on the mobile advantage of cavalry, interfere with each other's supplies, delay each other's March, and then wait for the opportunity to make a surprise attack."

"That's all we can do now." The people present gradually unified their ideas.

"In addition, I have some questions to add." A representative raised his hand.

"Within the new Vega alliance, many forces or chambers of Commerce do not have a firm sense of resistance. They are very likely to surrender suddenly in the battle, which we need to be vigilant about."

"Now the ones who are really standing with me and have a strong sense of resistance are the Hollis family, the agattilins family and the Lamia family. The rest are not reliable. "

Someone sighed and said, "it's internal and external troubles."

"Things have always been unsatisfactory, and we can only do our best."

Frost rose border, a small town in former Vilga.

It's very quiet in the busy town today. There are some guards wearing iron armor to maintain order on the street. They are all local people, but they don't do anything evil. They just prevent some abnormalities in the town. After all, it's a critical moment.

Many townspeople stood by the side of the road, looking at the army marching on the earth in the distance.

These soldiers carry long guns and form a long line with no head or tail in sight. As they move forward, the ground raises bursts of dust, making the vision gradually blurred.

On the side of these teams, a magic statue about 10 meters high is also moving forward.

Frost rose learned the lesson from the difficulties in transportation. This time, they made a large steel frame transport vehicle, in which the demons lay, and then a few demons pulled in front of them.

In this way, mutual rotation can not only save a lot of myrtle fuel, but also bring those damaged and paralyzed images on the road for maintenance. Instead of leaving it all on the side of the road.

In the sky, an airship floats every few hundred meters. They monitor the situation below and are always on guard against possible sudden attacks.

A young mage who has just graduated from the college is now mostly recruited. Some of them are used to drive and maintain the magic statue, and some of them stay in the airship to support the battle below at any time.

In frost Rose's army, a general in strong armor and dark blue cape also rode among them.

His speed is not fast. Sometimes he looks around at all kinds of situations in the army, and then orders a pro soldier standing by.

"Lord Jenkins, why are you so worried? Don't we have the most advantage in this war?" An accompanying high-level mage asked the general.

"It's best to be careful in everything. It's not that you mages do experiments. Failure can come back. But mistakes in war mean thousands of lives and deaths."

"This time, although we have a lot of advantages in terms of weapons and supermen, clancia... I have studied several reports of its founding war. Their opponent, the kingdom of Xifeng, is also a super man with several times as much power as clancia, but he still lost in the end“

"War is not just a war, sometimes it is a violent collision of determination and will of both sides, rather than a simple pile of data."
