Chapter 489. Kant's Coming Again
This time, there was no doubt in his voice, and his words were sonorous and powerful.
Kant's voice continued to come from the crystal ball: "That's the general situation, I can basically mention it, and the rest of the specific strategies will be formulated by Fatis and you." I will once again give Fatis an order to focus on the decisive battle plan he specified, and you will provide the appropriate supplements! ”
Kant believed that purely military talent alone was stronger than him, whether it was Fatis or Rolf. There is no need for him to go beyond his bounds and help them specify a specific decisive battle plan. What's more, the others are not at the junction of the North County Territory and the South County Territory, and it will be difficult to formulate a specific decisive battle plan.
Rolf replied, "Okay, I'll cooperate with Fatis this time!" ”
Rolf understood that if he and Fatis were to reformulate their plans for the decisive battle, according to Kant's request, his plan for the decisive battle would definitely be inferior to Fatis's.
In terms of ability alone, he is confident that he will not be worse than Fatis, but with his temperament, he really does not like it, and he is not suitable for formulating a dignified decisive battle plan. On the contrary, Fatis is quite suitable for specifying such a decisive battle plan.
"Well, that's the end of this call. Goodbye, Rolf! ”
"Goodbye, honorable lord, it's an honor to listen to your advice!"
...
Two days have passed, and it is a new week.
The armies of the Northern Commanders, as well as the armies of the Eastern Commanders, had been disorganized and reorganized, and Fast's Svadia Light Infantry and Swadia Infantry were sandwiched between them, one to lead the miscellaneous troops with the elite, and the other to play the role of oversight.
Plus the provisions announced by Fatis:
He was knighted according to his military merits, given land according to the size of his war results, and received a pension according to his performance before his death.
Such a provision completely aroused the enthusiasm of these soldiers for war.
After just a few days of training, the entire infantry corps took on a new look.
30000 infantry.
3000 heavy cavalry.
2000 hussars.
Under the leadership of Fatis, they slowly set out from Maesburg, due south, and the front of the army pointed to the Fort of Selia, fifty miles away, where 15,000 thousand heavy cavalry of the southern county were stationed.
Another 50 Svadian royal knights accompanied Fatis.
In the depths of the Southern Commandery, Rolf led 1,600 desert bandits, together with 30,000 miscellaneous troops led by the rebel commander-in-chief, Korod, towards the junction of the Northern and Southern Counties.
The decisive battle is approaching.
...
The system was once again financially settled, and Kant had already turned the fifty carts looted from the headquarters of the Scarlet Sect into dinars.
Even if the financial expenditure this time amounted to more than 800,000 dinars, including more than 700,000 military expenditures, it was nothing to Kant.
After the settlement, Kant was left with more than three million dinars. If it's a normal period, it's enough to support him for one to two months.
However, at this time, it was a time of war, and Kant was doing his best to fight the army, and the military expenditure was definitely getting higher and higher, and the more than 3 million dinars might only last for three weeks.
Three weeks is not too short.
However, if a person has no foresight, he will have near-term worries.
Due to the erosion of the situation in the Southern County Territory, a large number of caravans were plundered and killed in the Southern County Territory, which made more caravans shy away from this trade route, which greatly affected the salt mine business in the past few weeks.
Thousands of bags of fine white salt were piled up in the central post station of the Narun Desert, although some caravans still made a detour from the East County Territory into the Lion Principality, and then transferred to the North County Territory through the Death Penalty Mountain, successfully maintaining some of the fine white salt income.
Overall, however, the returns of salt mines have not risen as expected, but have a tendency to shrink.
The dinars that the Golden Eagles obtained from the weekly trading volume can be exchanged for have changed from the original 400,000 to the current 200,000.
This is a big problem.
For now, the salt mine business is still the main source of income for Kanderdinar, if not counting the sudden riches such as the hollowing out of the Dark Red Sect.
From this point of view, the war of the Principality of Lion must end as soon as possible.
At the very least, it is necessary to restore stability to the Southern Commandery, so that the caravans of the Terran countries have a relatively smooth trade route.
As long as the trade routes are smooth, with the production capacity of the salt mines in the Nanaron Desert and the salt workshops in the Sentry Oasis, it will not be difficult to achieve a weekly income of millions of dinars.
At this time, on the Resniston River, thirty three-column warships were in front, and one hundred and twenty oars were behind, moving mightily and rapidly.
Condean sat in a room dedicated to his office in the ship's cabin, poring through a biography of Aemond, the god of war.
In front of the desk made of fine wood, there is a shiny silver table on the left and right, and on each silver table is burned three fine beeswax purchased from the Silver Plate Empire, illuminating the whole room very brightly. With thick velvet carpets on the floors and extravagant ornaments on the wooden walls, the room looks luxurious.
There was a knock at the door.
"Please come in!"
Kant said.
A Svadia royal knight walked in.
The full-covered plate armor is worn on the body, polished smooth and translucent, even if it is covered with a linen jacket, it is still shining silver in the candlelight, and there are exquisite patterns carved on it, the beauty does not seem to be a knight who has been on the battlefield for a long time, but a work of art carefully created by the artist, the most perfect art of war!
The 3-meter-long heavy armor-piercing awl spear is held in one arm, the iris-shaped shield on the left arm is inlaid with stainless steel, and the gilded knight's sword is pinned to the left waist between the light blue cloak fluttering behind him, and the slender mace hangs on the right hand.
"My lord, Lionheart City is already in sight!"
The Royal Knight of Svadia spoke respectfully.
Kant closed the biography of Aemond, the god of war, and sighed softly: "Lionheart, it's finally here!" ”
This soft sigh has endless emotion in it.
A year ago, Kant left Lionheart with thirty Swadian peasants, with only twenty large silver coins on them.
Near-exile.
In the midst of the ridicule of the lords of the city, he embarked on the road to his territory, the Naren Desert.
There were only twenty cavalry escorts, and they only regarded this as a task, and they did not have the slightest respect for him.
Now, in just one year.
And he returned.
At this time, he is so powerful, he is the real ruler of the Narun Desert, and he is the controller of most of the Lion Principality; The prosperity of the army is not a problem to contend with the entire lion principality; The wealth of money can be called a rich country.
Kant came to the deck and looked at the majestic city in the distance, the city in which he had lived for sixteen years, with a hint of complexity in his eyes, and then his eyes turned to coldness.
At this time, Kant's original intention was to attack Lionheart City and cut off the economic lifeline of the Lion Principality, and at the same time, the army led by Fatis and Rolf, who were attacking the city from the north and south, formed a situation of entrapment against the real administrative center of the Lion Principality-Lion Castle.
