Chapter 494

The public declaration led by Tarris spread throughout the Ilus empire in an instant, and almost everyone was worried.

Everyone knows that it's a big deal this time!

Everyone knows the importance of the Tarris collar to the Ilus royal family. It can be said that Tarris is the back garden and the last card of the Ilus royal family. Every Ilus royal family will find a way to firmly control Tarris in their hands.

Now, nitro, who should be a firm supporter of Gillard, suddenly announced his support for Princess Aurelia and publicly supported Ellington's independence.

The meaning is clear - there is indeed a problem with the coronation of Prince Gillard.

For a moment, the whole country was in a panic and everyone was in danger.

The gossip that Donne was the illegitimate son of Victor began to spread again, and people began to doubt whether Gillard killed her father

The frightening truth seems to be covered with a layer of white yarn, which can be seen as long as it is gently opened, but few people have the courage to open that layer of white yarn.

In this tense and inexplicable atmosphere, the emergence of another news completely broke the balance.

Mark of the holy sword, ten thousand troops are heading south and have arrived at Castle caspami!

Internal war, imminent!

Ellington.

Fiona spread out a scroll in front of Donne: "Lord, this is the latest news. The invaders belong to the third imperial legion, and the commander is General Marshall Lawson. At present, they are only about ten kilometers away from caspamiburg and may attack at any time."

Aurelia added: "Marshall Lawson, a military expert in the Empire second only to Secretary O'Brien and Secretary Adrian, served as a civilian at the age of 14 and participated in many small-scale wars. He performed well. At the age of 40, he got a precious opportunity to ascend to the sky at one stroke. In the following ten years, he played steadily and firmly in the third legion, and Finally became the commander of this force. "

"At present, Marshall has become Gillard's man."

"Wrong."

Donne shook his head. "He's not so much Gillard's man as the mysterious man's man."

Controlling Gillard is equivalent to controlling the third legion of the Empire and the whole Ilus empire. Now, that man is going to light the war.

Ellington, obviously the best target.

Castle caspami, which has just been captured by Ellington, can just become the first battlefield for warm-up.

But will Donne make them so smooth and comfortable?

Obviously not.

Ellington doesn't like war, but Ellington is never afraid of war!

"Tell me to go down."

Donne said to Elsa nearby, "all the combatants dress up immediately, bring supplies, and complete the assembly on the transmission array square within an hour."

Elsa saluted without hesitation: "yes, Lord!"

After Elsa left, Fiona asked a little uneasy, "Lord, are we really going to war with Gillard? Now is not a good time."

"It's not that we're going to war, but that the other party is coming to the door."

Donne said faintly, "Ellington will never step back in the face of invasion."

Aurelia pondered for a moment and said, "compared with the Ellington guard, the average combat effectiveness of the third imperial Legion is worse, and their equipment can't compare with us. In addition, we are a defensive war, 4000 to 10000, which is not impossible."

Fiona was stunned: "isn't it 30000 troops?"

"Do you really believe it?"

"I don't often say about the 100000 troops of the Empire..."

"It's just an external propaganda offensive. Now it's not a war time. Who can afford 100000 troops? Do you know the concept of 100000 troops? If there is no sufficient logistics support, you can eat down an Ellington in one day, and there is no grass everywhere!"

After all, she was born in the royal family and knew more about military affairs. Fiona was not as good as Aurelia in this regard.

"If we really want to mobilize the whole country to ask for army expansion, it is not that we can't squeeze out a million troops, but I'm afraid four fifths of the so-called million troops are just a handful of farmers to make up for cannon fodder. It is the elite who really play a decisive role."

"More than 70% of our annual revenue from the Treasury is filled into the stomachs of military soldiers. We have no money to replace more sophisticated equipment, let alone expand the army."

Aurelia sighed and said: "The total combat capacity of the third imperial Corps is only 30000 people. Just to meet the needs of these 30000 soldiers, 100000 people in the scar of the holy sword serve their clothing, food, housing and transportation. If 10000 troops are deployed, at least 20000 logistics personnel are required to ensure the soldiers' food and grass transportation. The staffing ratio of one to two is the most basic. Combined with external publicity, Isn't that 30000 troops? "

Fiona suddenly realized: "although there is no combat effectiveness, we can't see it when we put on our clothes and stand in the team. At least there will be some sense of oppression in the momentum."

"Yes, 10000 and 30000 people appear in front of us. The pressure is very different, but what we really need to care about is the 10000 soldiers."

Aurelia said solemnly, "as long as we stop them from breaking caspamiburg, we will be invincible."

Fiona showed her eyebrows and said, "what if they prepare a catapult and a siege ladder?"

Aurelia looked at Donne. "I think it's time for our Lord to take action."

"Me?"

Don shook his head. "I'll see what happens. If it's not necessary, I won't do it."

Now the Ellington guard has been replaced with new buffer armor, with greatly increased defense and assault rifles. Through the efforts of Pamela and Elia, a small number of magic pistols with single magic effect have been produced and equipped to team leader level members. In addition, goblins purchased from Gallian throw grenades and various bombs, This team is armed to the teeth.

Relying on the castle to fight a defensive war, only the fire suppression of assault rifles can make the imperial Third Army unable to take the lead. Are you afraid of losing?

Donne first sent people to Castle caspami to convey orders, immediately raised the gate and isolated the whole castle from the outside world. People from nearby villages had already fled to Ellington, and the empty village didn't care at all.

An hour later, Donne came to the transmission array square outside. The Ellington guard had already assembled, and the teams that could not fit in the square were now on standby nearby.

"I don't have much to say. Now, the third imperial Legion is coming to Castle caspami to attack the towns belonging to us in Ellington. Now, we are going to guard our territory."

Donne clenched his fist and raised it high. "Where do you want them to come from, go back!"

"Let them go back where they come from!"

"Ellington will win!"

"Now, let's go!"

Donne suddenly poured out huge magic, which inspired the transmission array platform. In the distorted space, the picture of caspamiburg on the other side emerged.

The excited soldiers lined up neatly, clenched their weapons, and then crossed the portal one by one, directly across the distance of more than 800 kilometers, and came to Castle caspami.

The atmosphere in castle caspami is tense now, and every resident is panic stricken. They have been safe for so many years, but they are facing two wars in a short month. Their hearts are bitter.

The most sad thing for the residents of caspamiburg is that when Lord Lawrence was in power, at least caspamiburg had decent troops, but with the defeat of Lord Lawrence, Lord Donne didn't recruit again after caspamiburg was designated as the territory of Ellington, and the huge caspamiburg couldn't even find a decent patrol.

Kaspamiburg, which has only maintained a minimum security force, is now facing Prince Gillard's 30000 troops against the rebels. Who is not afraid?

Now the army is pressing on the border, and many people curse Donne in their hearts. They think Donne forced them to a dead end.

However, at this time, the residents of Castle caspami suddenly found that soldiers wearing shiny armor suddenly appeared in the town square. Their steps were neat, their discipline was strict, their eyes were firm and bright, and their equipment was extremely sophisticated!

The people here don't know how they appear at all, but when they see the badge on their armor, they know that they are elite soldiers from Ellington!

"Ellington's soldiers? Wait! How did they appear?"

"I don't know. It seems that they suddenly appear in the square! Is it difficult that they have been hiding here?"

"But no, they left after the last war!"

The residents of caspamiburg were shocked, and the mercenary guild with keen sense of smell detected something. The head of caspamiburg branch stared at the center of the square, where a mass of light was distorted.

"That's... The portal? It's a big deal to use the portal to transport troops!"

The person in charge still didn't think of the transmission array. He just thought that Donne opened the transmission door.

Transporting soldiers through the portal requires very high cultivation of magicians. Each transmission will cause a short impact on the magicians maintaining the portal. Therefore, the portal spell is very unfavorable to transporting a large number of soldiers and materials. The transmission array is the best choice.

The transmission array has long been lost, so no one would think of this.

In just over a dozen minutes, 4000 Ellington guard members completely controlled all parts of caspamiburg, the chaotic and tense atmosphere was controlled and returned to a short-term state of order.

At the same time, some soldiers began to divert and guide the residents of Castle caspami to take refuge in Ellington.

The camouflaged transmission array did not make those people aware. A large number of residents packed their bags and crossed the transmission array to Ellington, and then were guided by the person in charge here to arrange temporary accommodation.

At the same time, the distinctive Ellington also opened their eyes and was deeply shocked

Before the evacuation was over, the third Legion was approaching castle caspami.

The soldiers on the wall can even see the lines on their armor.

"Hey, hey, it doesn't seem the same as what was agreed..."
