Chapter 328: The Fear of the Aristocrats

The foundation of an empire is at least enough for a powerful force to arm more than 5 heavy infantry regiments, so how many heavy infantry regiments can be armed with the foundation of a large empire. What about a light infantry regiment or a militia regiment? The answer to this question was answered by the nobles of the Atlanta Empire after the fall of Atlantis.

"About 20,000 heavy cavalry, 150,000 heavy infantry, 200,000 light infantry, plus no less than 300,000 peasant troops, now we really have a big hornet's nest, Sherman!" Looking at the battle report in his hand, instead of feeling a trace of fear, Asal felt a sense of excitement, because he knew that next, the Western Continent would stage a one-man show that belonged to him.

"Heavy cavalry? Do you think that militiamen with only chain mail and steel spears can be considered heavy cavalry? Can the heavy infantry, which can only be compared to the hooked and sickle soldiers of the early days of our great empire, and at most can only compete with the private soldiers of the nobles, can really compete with the orc warriors who never set the sun? Sherman, who was beside Assal, looked at the orc warriors and Lancester hammer soldiers who came out of the east gate of Atlantis in a neat phalanx, and replied with a disdainful expression: "Not to mention those so-called light infantry, I estimate that it is a question whether their two regiments can eat one of the Lancester Mace Regiments." ”

"That's also .......... hey, your brother is going to die now, why didn't you say anything?"

"Just you? I don't bother to say anything, as long as you don't let me collect the body for you when the time comes. Sherman said jokingly, although his face became serious, and patted the shoulder armor on Assal's body: "Back then, General Bobby was able to lead 30,000 cavalry to kill all the way in the territory of the Warsaw Alliance before coming back, so you kid must give me back alive." ”

"Don't worry, I owe you my life when I ambushed the Ranster army in the Valley of Fire, so I won't die until I return it, then...... See you again. ”

"Well, take care!" Sherman nodded, and then led the horse back to the city, while Asal stepped onto the Nightmare Horse without looking back, smashing the hundred Sunset General's Guards and advancing towards the head of the orc legion.

"The relationship between the two of them is very good, and during the siege of Atlantis, the cooperation between Asal and Sherman is comparable to the combination of longbowmen and heavily armed swordsmen, I don't understand, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, why do you want me and Sherman to guard Atlantis City, instead of Asal and Sherman." Looking at the orc legion and the 3rd Lancester Mace Regiment that were flying away, Humpty Dumpty Lakuman on the city wall looked at Leo with a kind smile and asked.

"Because the task of defending the city is not suitable for Assar, and it is not what he wants, who calls him a good attacking general? And I'm just doing this to fulfill his ideals, as for the result, it's up to him to fight for it.......... well, since Asal has led the troops to leave, then I should also follow the large army to Philadelphia, Atlantis will be handed over to you, Your Majesty just used the royal war eagle to ask me to talk to you and Sherman, he himself doesn't want to be when he comes to inspect the situation in the Western Continent after solving the problem of the Central Continent, there is still a trace of war in the city outside Atlantis. ”

"Don't worry, with the help of those siege crossbows that were dismantled from the Xiyi warship, and General Sherman's command of long-range troops, I don't think those miscellaneous soldiers will even have a chance to rush to the walls of Atlantis." Rakuman smiled, but then his face became grim: "However, the problem of strength is always the hard wound of the next defense of Atlantis City, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, are you sure that in the next 2 weeks, there will really be more than 10,000 Xiyi warriors and more Xiyi Ashigaru to support this battle?" ”

"Don't worry, the new emperor of Atlanta....... oh no, it should be said that since the founding king and last king of the new kingdom of Atlanta can deal with us with religious problems, why can't we deal with religious problems in the same way? Before Christianity was introduced to the Western Continent, the problem between Shintoism, Mahayana Buddhism and Poseidon had existed for thousands of years......... Hehe, I'm now wondering what kind of ability the Atlantans who have lost their deck are capable of fighting against the current Xiyi. ”

Because of the problem of enemy troops, after a unified resolution of the military department, Leo temporarily changed some strategic plans, It was decided to transfer 13,000 orc warriors and lancer macers in good condition from the defenders of Atlantis to the interior of the Western Continent under the command of Assal, and the task of Asal was extremely simple and extremely difficult: the military department hoped that Asal would eliminate them one by one before the forces in the hands of the nobles of the original Atlanta Empire were gathered, so as to alleviate the pressure on the cities and fortresses in the coastal periphery of the Western Continent of the Great Empire when the sun never sets.

If this resolution first reached the ears of those former Atlanta Empire nobles, it would definitely make them laugh, because in their eyes, although the miscellaneous soldiers in their hands have no quality, some are quantity, on the contrary, although the sun never sets has quality, but in terms of logistics, quantity and other aspects can definitely make the plan of the Sun Never Set Empire abortive. And the more than 13,000 soldiers who never set the sun entered the interior of the Western Continent, which was completely equivalent to the fact that the Great Empire of the Sun never set was ready to wash its neck and send it to them to cut it at will.

However, the problem is that in the end, it was not the news of this resolution that came first, but the initial result of this resolution: a mysterious army that never sets the sun attacked the camp of the Rett Light Infantry Regiment in the Marquis of Rett in the Atlanta Empire at night, resulting in the death of 5,000 soldiers of the whole regiment, including its commander Marquis Ret, plus thousands of Atlantan militiamen and peasants, under the butcher's knife of the soldiers of the Great Empire. This result eventually caused the nobles of the original Atlanta Empire to show fear more than they did not laugh when they learned of the temporary plan of the Great Empire, but their faces were ugly, and even some of the miscellaneous troops at their disposal showed a look of fear compared to the Atlanta nobles of the Marquis of Ret.

But this was only the beginning, just a few days after the nobles of the former Atlanta Empire learned that a mysterious army of Sunset had entered the interior of the Western Continent, another shocking news came to the southern coastal area of the Western Continent: the First Expeditionary Fleet of the Sunset had raided this place.
