Even if there is no way to help the Elanhill Empire in the battle head-on, the Tempest Empire still has some use.

At the very least, they could provide a sufficient amount of food for the current main force of the Irlanhill Empire's air force, the dragon knight troops under the command of Ildor.

At least there are still domestic animals on this planet, those cattle and sheep, and even war horses, can fill the belly of the wurm.

And once the wurm fills his stomach, his combat power on Planet Hope 2 is simply terrifying.

Seeing a wurm tearing a ploughing ox in front of him that was trembling and didn't even dare to scream to pieces, the great knight of the Tempest Empire only had the thought of thanking you for not killing the strong men.

It is not so much that the Irlanhill Empire attacked and captured the emperor of the Tempest Empire and him, but that the Irlanhill Empire took into account the casualties and let the Tempest Empire go.

If these dragon knights hadn't left the city at that time, but had gone on a killing spree in the city, that city and everyone in the city, including the Emperor of the Tempest Empire, would probably have become charred.

However, when these dragon knights became potential allies, the Grand Knight's heart twitched suddenly.

It was a feeling of longing, but also a loneliness of self-sacrifice. Such combat power becomes a solid and reliable ally, and war becomes a gorgeous pastime.

When several officers of the Irlanhill Empire approached the Grand Knight Captain and another captured general of the Tempest Empire and asked them to look at the map and express their opinions, the two of them were in a state of confusion.

The two of them had never seen such an efficient and accurate map - the entire map was marked with contour lines, and there were also real photos taken from various angles.

This is no joke, if they had such a detailed map in their hands, they would probably have beaten down the idiots of the Rock Empire long ago.

Then again, if the people of the Rock Empire had gotten such a detailed map first, they might have pressed their Tempest Empire to the ground a long time ago.

After carefully looking at the markings on the map, the two generals of the Tempest Empire could easily identify the city walls that the other party had been reinforcing all along, as well as the large number of heavily armored cavalry stationed behind the walls.

The national treasure of the Rock Empire, and the heavy armored cavalry known as the meat grinder of the battlefield, has always been a force that the Tempest Empire is very afraid of.

Once these cavalry are put into battle, combined with other troops, the Tempest Empire will often suffer some small losses.

If it weren't for the fact that this kind of heavy armored cavalry is too expensive to feed and the number is very limited, the Rock Empire would have suppressed the Wind Empire a long time ago.

"The Rock Empire has always been assembling its own army, and they are on guard against any kind of invasion." The Grand Knight Captain pointed to a place marked as a city on the map and explained.

Another general also added: "They have been reinforcing the walls of Soth City, and now the garrison there is estimated to be at least 10,000 people!" ”

"10,000? I'm not as optimistic as you, and I think there should be at least 13,000 troops. The Grand Knight Captain corrected his colleague's analysis.

In his view, before the war begins, it should be a more correct choice to anticipate the enemy's leniency. When estimating the enemy's strength, it is necessary to think more about the number of the enemy, so that it is easier to arrange tactics.

"Don't guess." Burrison was dismissive of the analysis of the two men in front of him, and the reconnaissance information in his hands was much more accurate than the random guessing of these two men squatting at home.

So he opened his mouth and said a shockingly accurate number: "The other side has gathered 11,700 people here, which is very accurate if they don't have tunnels or deliberately hide their forces." ”

"3,096 people are stationed in the camp in the east of the city, and 3,452 people are stationed in the camp in the west of the city." As he spoke, he pointed to the two places marked on the map with his whip: "The rest are within the walls!" ”

"The other side has deployed 26 ballistas on the city wall, and the specific quality is not yet clear." The staff officer continued: "There are about 1,200 archers, 700 in the city, and the rest are stationed in the camp near the city walls. ”

As he spoke, he took out a line drawing of the city wall and circled four positions on it with a thick red pen.

Seeing this staff officer ruining an accurately proportioned city defense map like this, the two generals of the Tempest Empire could even feel their hearts dripping blood.

It's distressing! A map of this level, in their world, can definitely be said to be a treasure! As a result, it was painted with four red circles...... How can it not be distressing.

"According to a border city, it is already a very large-scale garrison." Burrison opened his mouth to say this.

It's no wonder that he sighed, because the regular army garrison of the Orchid Hill Empire on a border planet may not have so many.

After all, it costs money to garrison troops, not only money, but also a lot of materials and fuel, which are non-renewable consumables, so the Irlanhill Empire has only maintained a limited garrison size in a non-war state.

Under normal circumstances, there are about 3,000 regular troops stationed on a border planet, and a few planets have more than 10,000 large-scale troops.

Of course, the regular garrison here generally refers to human elves, or at least orcs or demon troops, plus about 20,000 or so combat puppet robot troops.

On Planet Hope 2, 12,000 infantry were stationed in a border city, which is really an exaggerated number.

"Not only that, but the other side has also hidden a large cavalry force behind the city, a large part of which is heavy armored cavalry, and the combat effectiveness is very strong." The Grand Knight Captain of the Tempest Empire reminded: "If you attack the city directly, the opponent's cavalry may fight from one side and attack our formation. ”

"This is almost a perfect arrangement, in the previous conflict between us and the Rock Empire, we would try to avoid this section of the defense line, and in a further north, contact with the other party in a field state." Another general spoke.

"Gentlemen, I don't need your advice at all! I just want to know one question now! Burrison nodded, not taking these two people's nonsense to heart at all, but just opened his mouth to say the question he was most concerned about: "If we occupy this city called Thus, will the Rock Empire honestly sit at the negotiating table?" ”
