Chapter 597: The Problem Sun Lin Gave
"Your Excellency Leo, we have already found the last scattered troops, if you add the corpses collected before, in terms of the number of people found, now as long as you exclude the dozen or so Sunset soldiers who do not see the corpses when they are not seen, the 12,000 Sunset soldiers who broke through from the snake city can be regarded as all found." A group of griffin knights descended from the sky and said respectfully to Leo after he saluted.
"Well, the plan to burn the Niraya Mountain Range can still be postponed, the soldiers I sent out to reconnoiter in the underground tunnel have not yet returned, and when they understand the situation there, by the way, see if those dozens are still staying in the underground tunnel and are executing, anyway, there are not many snake people in the Nilya Mountain Range now." Leo nodded.
"I understand Lord Leo, my comrades and I will continue to scout the Nireya Mountains, and by the way, clean up the .......... of those snake people who have come out to roam! By the way, Lord Leo, this is what I found in a cavern that collapsed, and it looks like a fragment of the clothing of our Sunless Warriors, but I don't think so. As he spoke, the griffin knight took out a piece of dark rag from his bosom.
".......... is there anything unusual about that cave-in, such as bloodstains, marks of a fight, etc.?" Leo's face changed as he looked at the fragment of clothing in his hand, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked the griffon knight.
"Not really, and the fragment of the garment, though found in the cave where it had collapsed, was not found in the place of the cave, but on a branch at the entrance of the cave......... What's the matter, Your Excellency, do you know the owner of this piece of clothing? Or is the owner of this piece of clothing an officer-level figure in our army? ”
"Huh? No, no, no! It's just that this fragment feels a little familiar. Of course, Leo remembers, because the source of this fragment of clothing is the fragment of clothing on the herald who followed Leo when he broke out of the snake man city in all directions, but Leo didn't want to tell this fact: "Then let's do it now." You go and tell the Sunset soldiers in the search and rescue team in the Nirya Mountains to speed up the search and rescue, they have been resting for several days, and the snake people should also receive the news that the city belonging to them in the Nirya Mountains has been burned down, and the vast majority of the 100,000 snake tribe warriors have been killed, if we continue to stay and comfort now, then it is estimated that we will be surrounded again. ”
"Yes! Lord Leo. When the griffin knights left, a staff officer who never sets also came to Leo with a red piece of information, and handed over the red-level information in his hand to Leo: "Your Excellency Leo, this is a statistical map of the battle in the Nirja Mountains, please take a look." ”
"Hmm. Okay, then you can go down first, and I'll return the information to you when I go back to the command room. With that, Leo opened the red information in his hand and began to read the statistical table on the information.
It is displayed according to the contents on the statistics table. The total casualties of the army have exceeded 25,000, and nearly 10,000 soldiers have been wounded to varying degrees. And among the more than 25,000 soldiers who died in battle. The number of casualties was not the Knights of England on foot who led the battle with the Snake Warriors, the number of deaths of this class of troops that specialized in dealing with the Snake Warriors ranked third in the number of deaths of all the classes that never set on the sun, and the second was the Sai Yino Taiken Warriors who fought with the Snake Warriors in an extremely fierce manner, and the Snake Warriors fought almost exclusively in the way of life for injuries, and the first place was the well-armed members of the Papal Guard armed with steel shields and spears.
This situation is also very easy to explain: after all, in the battle against the snake warriors, the least deterrent to the snake warriors are the members of the Papal Guard. Because the kite-shaped shields of the members of the Papal Guard could not use shield strikes against the soldiers of the snake warriors, but those sharp spears could withstand the tenacity of the natural armor of the snake people, and in the face of the burly body of the snake warriors, no matter how strong the defense of the Papal Guard was, it could not change its human body. In such a situation, the members of the Papal Guard were lucky not to be tortured and killed when they fought with the snake warriors.
It seems that the Papal Guard was crippled. Seeing that the number of casualties in this Papal Guard reached nearly 70%, Leo shook his head and said, and then turned his attention to the death values of other troops: "The number of casualties of the Tengu Legion and the Knights on Foot is also quite large, but fortunately, the death rate remains within the acceptable range of our army, but I didn't expect that the survival rate of the Leinster Mace Hammers and the Atlantic Crescent Spearmen in this battle would be so high.......... huh?" Phnom Penh Warhawks? It is a handwritten biography of His Majesty. ”
As a war eagle with gold edges landed on Leo's back, Leo's attention shifted from the battle report statistics in his hand to the letter written by Sun Lin from the war eagle.
“……… Providing material but not too many reinforcements...... Be sure to temporarily defeat the snake people forces before the United Kingdom of Awatha reacts, so as to encircle the United Kingdom of Ivasha with the army of the sun that never sets and the vassal forces of the business alliance that invaded the kingdom of Moldan. After putting down the information in his hand, Leo said with a wry smile.
It turned out that in this letter, Sun Lin had already indicated the next plan for the next step of the Sunset Army led by Leo and the material personnel supplemented: in terms of material, although the road between the Western Continent and the Western Regions of the Central Continent was extremely difficult to move forward, and the supply route of the Second Expeditionary Force of the Sunset Central Continent did not have Kodo Beasts, which made it more difficult for the Second Expeditionary Force of the Sunset Continent to obtain the replenishment of war materials, but the difficulties were difficult. Things like the Greek fire oil and crossbow arrows that Leo's army has exhausted this time are still available on Sun Lin's side, so there is no need to talk about ordinary materials such as food.
However, in terms of personnel replenishment, since the rest of the combat corps of the 2nd Expeditionary Force in the Central Continent have entered the battlefield around the Imperial City of the Water Qilin Empire, and fought against the troops of the United Kingdom of Aihuasha and the troops of the Water Qilin Empire that have lost nearly half of their combat power, so now Sun Lin has in addition to the militia troops, even the second-line troops such as Xiyi Ashigaru and Atlanta Crescent Spearmen have also been put into the battlefield. In addition, all Sun Lin has is those militia units equipped with rudimentary weapons, and letting the militia troops fight against the snake warriors is not purely a gift of human heads to the snake warriors?
Therefore, it is obviously impossible for Leo to get soldiers to fight on foot from Sun Lin's side. Of course, Leo had already guessed about this situation, because just the Nirea Mountain Range that existed between the Sharanmar Hills and the swamp area of the Western Regions of the Central Continent, where the snake tribe was located, would take at least 1 to 2 weeks for the foot soldiers to move forward, and this did not rule out the existence of special conditions, so Leo did not expect Sun Lin to replenish his troops at the beginning.
However, what Leo didn't expect was that although Sun Lin did not give Leo infantry soldiers, Sun Lin gave Leo other troop supplements, such as the griffin knights in Leo's hands, which originally only had half a regiment in Leo's hands, and now because Sun Lin transferred the other half of his regiment, the griffin knights who were originally on a reconnaissance mission around the Imperial City of the Water Qilin Empire, to Leo's hands, Leo now has more than 6,000 griffin knights who never set sun, and these elite troops that never set sun, Especially the troops that have great deterrence against the snake warriors, they can completely achieve a score of 1 block and 10 when dealing with the snake warriors, which means that Leo will have 30,000 more elite troops to deal with the snake man like a walking England knight with 3,000 people, and this supplement also makes Leo himself excited.
However, in fact, Sun Lin provided Leo with more troops than that, in fact, it also included the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, which had improved its mounts and changed from the Sunset Auxiliary Cavalry to the Sunset Light Lancer Dragoon, but ..........
"The 2nd Cavalry Regiment? Isn't that the unit of the 1st Expeditionary Force on the continent where the sun never sets? And most importantly, I remember that this unit is not now wandering on the border of the Marta steppe? How could it have come to my aid in such a short period of time? And the snake tribe is located in a swampy area, so what's the use of getting a cavalry regiment here to fight? The combat effectiveness is not as good as a militia regiment! Looking at the contents of the letter in his hand, Leo muttered complainingly, but he didn't say anything after all: "Forget it, the development of troops is better than no soldiers, and some of these light lance dragoons are equipped with Mo forging crossbows, so it's a big deal to let these dragoons dismount and fight......... But even if these light-speared dragoons are allowed to dismount and fight, they will not be able to defeat the snake tribe in a short period of time! ”
Indeed, although the population of the snake tribe is not large, the total number is less than 1.5 million, and the number of snake warriors is not more than 200,000 at most, but the problem is that with the snake tribe, which is extremely strong in physical fitness, in fact, the snake warriors are the same as the snow trolls encountered before the sun never sets empire, and their troops are all soldiers, and the hands of those female snake people also have sharp claws, although they are much thinner than those of male snake warriors. But the sharpness is no less than that of a male snake man warrior, and in such a situation, it is indeed difficult for Leo to use the remnant army in his hand, plus a cavalry regiment that arrived at some unknown time, to defeat the remnant snake tribe.
