Chapter 492: This Is Different From Saying Yes!
In an instant, the public declaration of the Tareth Territory spread throughout the Irus Empire, and almost all of them were nervous.
Everyone understands that this time it's a big deal!
Everyone knows the importance of the Taris Collar to the Irrus royal family, it can be said that Taris is the back garden of the Irrus royal family, and it is also the last hole card, and every Irus royal family will find a way to firmly control Taris in their hands.
And now, Nitro, who should have been a staunch supporter of Girard, suddenly announced his solidarity with Princess Aurelia and openly supported Ellington's independence.
The meaning is clear - there is indeed a problem with the coronation of Prince Girard.
All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise in the whole country, and everyone was in danger.
Rumors began to circulate again that Don was Victor's illegitimate son, and people began to wonder if Girard had killed his father because of this......
The truth that makes people think about it is as if it is covered with a white veil, which can be seen with a light touch, but few people have the courage to remove that white veil.
In this tense and inexplicable atmosphere, the appearance of another piece of news completely upset the balance.
The 10,000-strong army of the Traces of the Holy Sword has arrived at Casparmiburg!
Internal war, on the verge of breaking out!
Ellington.
Fiona spread out a scroll in front of Donne: "Lord Lord, this is the latest news, the invaders belong to the Third Legion of the Empire, the commander is General Marshall Lawson, they are currently only about ten kilometers away from Casparmyburg, and they may attack at any time. ”
Aurelia added: "Marshall Lawson, the second most military expert in the Empire after Aubury and Adrien, served in the army as a civilian at the age of fourteen, fought in many skirmishes, excelled in many wars, and rose to the top at the age of forty when he was given a precious opportunity, and over the next ten years he established himself firmly in the Third Legion, eventually becoming the commander of this unit. ”
"At the moment, it seems that Marshall has become Girard's subordinate."
"Wrong."
Don shook his head: "It's not so much that he's Girard's subordinate, it's that he's the mysterious man's subordinate." ”
Taking control of Girard is equivalent to controlling the Third Legion of the Empire, as well as the entire Ilrus Empire, and now, that person is about to ignite the flames of war.
Ellington, apparently, is the best target.
Casparmy Fort, which had just been captured by Ellington, could be a warm-up battleground for the first battle.
Still, will Don make them so smooth and comfortable?
Apparently not.
Ellington didn't like war, but Ellington was never afraid of war!
"Tell me to go down."
Tang En said to Elsa next to him: "All the combat personnel immediately dressed up, brought supplies, and completed the assembly in the teleportation array square within an hour. ”
Elsa saluted without hesitation: "Yes!" Your Lord! ”
After Elsa left, Fiona asked a little apprehensively, "My lord, are we really going to war with Girard?" Now is not a good time. ”
"It's not that we're going to go to war, it's that the other side is going to hit the door."
Donn said lightly: "In the face of invasion, Ellington will definitely not take half a step back. ”
Aurelia pondered for a moment and said: "Compared with the Ellington Guard, the average combat effectiveness of the Third Legion of the Empire is a little worse, and their equipment is not as good as ours, plus we are a defensive battle, four thousand against ten thousand, it is not impossible to fight." ”
Fiona was stunned: "Isn't it an army of 30,000?" ”
"Do you really believe it?"
"I don't often say anything about the 100,000 army of the empire or something like that......"
"That's just a kind of external propaganda offensive, now is not a time of war, who can afford to raise an army of 100,000? Do you know what the concept of a 100,000-strong army is? If you don't have abundant logistics, you can eat an Ellington in a day, and it's not an exaggeration to say that there is no grass everywhere you go! ”
After all, she is from a royal family and knows more about military affairs, and Fiona is completely inferior to Aurelia in this regard.
"If you really want to launch a national ****** and ask for the expansion of the army, it is not impossible to squeeze out a million troops, but of the so-called million army, four-fifths of them are probably just farmers who are brought in to be cannon fodder, and it is still a handful of elites who really play a decisive role."
"More than 70 percent of the income of our national treasury every year is filled into the stomachs of the soldiers of the army, and we have no money to replace better equipment, let alone expand the army."
Aurelia sighed and said, "The total combat strength of the entire Imperial Third Legion is only 30,000 people, and just to meet the needs of these 30,000 warriors, there are 100,000 people in the Trace of the Holy Sword to serve their food, clothing, shelter and transportation. When an army of 10,000 is dispatched, at least 20,000 logistics personnel will be required to ensure the transportation of grain and grass for the soldiers. ”
Fiona suddenly realized: "Although there is no combat effectiveness, but when we put on our clothes and stand in the team, we can't see it, and there will be at least some oppression in the momentum." ”
"That's right, 10,000 and 30,000 people appear in front of us, the pressure is completely different, but what we really need to care about is the 10,000 soldiers."
Aurelia said solemnly, "As long as we stop them from breaking through Casparmyburg, we will be invincible." ”
Fiona raised her eyebrows: "What if they have trebuchets and siege ladders prepared?" ”
Aurelia looked at Donn, "I think that is the time for our lord to make a move. ”
"Me?"
Don shook his head: "I look at the situation, if it is not necessary, I will not make a move." ”
Now that the Ellington Guard has been replaced with new cushion armor, their defense has been greatly increased, and their weapons are equipped with assault rifles, and through the efforts of Pamela and Illya, a small batch of magic pistols with a single magic effect have been produced, equipped with captain-level members, plus goblin throwing grenades and various bombs purchased from Garion, this team can be said to be armed to the teeth.
Relying on the castle to fight a defensive battle, the fire suppression of the assault rifle alone can make the Third Legion of the Empire unable to take the lead, and are you afraid that it will lose?
Don first sent someone to Casparmican Fort to deliver the order, and immediately raised the city gates, isolating the entire castle from the outside world, and the people of the nearby villages had already fled to Ellington, and the empty village did not care at all.
An hour later, Don was on the teleportation array outside the plaza, where the Ellington Guard had already assembled, and the teams that could not fit in the plaza were now on standby.
"Without further ado, now, the Third Legion of the Empire is approaching Casparmyburg, preparing to attack our town of Ellington, and now, we are going to defend our territory."
Don clenched his fists and raised them high: "Let them go back where they came from!" ”
"Let them go back where they came from!"
"Ellington will win!"
"Now, let's go!"
A huge amount of magic suddenly poured out of Donn's body, activating the teleportation array platform, and in the distorted space, the image of Casparmiburg on the other side appeared.
The excited warriors lined up neatly, clenched the weapons in their hands, and then passed through the portal one by one, directly across a distance of more than 800 kilometers, and came to Casparmi Fort.
The atmosphere at Casparmyburg is tense now, and every inhabitant is panicking, and they are bitter that they have been safe for so many years, but they have faced two wars in just one month.
What makes the residents of Casparmyburg the most sad is that when Lord Lawrence was in power, Casparmyburg still had decent troops, but with the defeat of Lawrence and the division of Casparmyburg into Ellington's territory, Lord Don did not recruit again, and the huge Casparmyburg couldn't even find a decent patrol.
Casparmyburg, which has only maintained a minimum of law and order, is now facing the 30,000-strong army of Prince Girard to defeat the rebels, who is not afraid?
Now that the army is pressing, many people are cursing Tang En in their hearts, they think that Tang En has driven them to a dead end.
However, at this moment, the inhabitants of Casparmyburg suddenly noticed that a group of warriors in shiny armor suddenly appeared in the town square, their steps were uniform, their discipline was strict and harsh, their eyes were firm and bright, and they were extremely well equipped!
The people here have absolutely no idea how they appeared, but when they see the insignia on their armor, they know that they are elite warriors from Ellington!
"The warriors of Ellington? Wait a minute! How did they come about? ”
"I don't know, it seems to have appeared in the square all of a sudden! Could it be that they have been hiding here all along? ”
"But no, after the last war, they left!"
The inhabitants of Casparmeburg were shocked, and the mercenary guild with a keen sense of smell was even more faintly aware of something, and the head of the Casparmeburg branch stared at the center of the square, where a ball of light was distorted.
"That's ...... Portals? He even used a portal to transport troops...... That's a big deal! ”
The person in charge still didn't think of the teleportation array, and only thought that it was Tang En who opened the portal.
Transporting soldiers through the portal requires a very high level of cultivation for the mage, and each teleportation will cause a short impact on the mage who maintains the portal, so the portal spell is very unfavorable for transporting a large number of soldiers and materials, and the teleportation array is the best choice.
And the teleportation array has long been lost, so no one will think about it.
In just ten minutes, four thousand members of the Ellington Guard completely controlled all parts of Casparmierburg, and the chaotic and tense atmosphere was brought under control, and a brief state of order was restored.
At the same time, a part of the fighters, as ordered, began to divert and guide the inhabitants of Casparmyburg to take refuge in Ellington.
The teleportation array that had been disguised did not let those people notice, and a large number of residents packed up and crossed the teleportation array to Ellington, and then were guided by the person in charge arranged here to divert and arrange temporary accommodation.
At the same time, Ellington, who is different, also opened the eyes of these people and deeply shocked them......
Before the evacuation was over, the Third Army was already approaching Casparmyburg.
The warriors on the walls could even see the lines on their armor.
"Hey, this doesn't seem to be the same as the one who said yes......" (To be continued.) )
