57. Threats

With Sean's decision made, a series of transfer orders were quickly and accurately issued.

However, there was a little accident along the way.

Hearing that there was going to be a war with the fascist kingdom, all the legions in the garrison of the Savage Fortress unanimously asked to go back, including Clov, who was relatively indifferent among many generals, and also expressed his hope that he could return with the army and participate in the campaign against the fascist kingdom. Basically, everyone wants to be able to participate in this crusade, after all, it is to avenge Anno, and no one wants to miss it.

If it were a normal change, Sean would definitely not refuse, after all, this is the best opportunity to improve the cohesion of the whole group.

But not this time.

If all the legions are pulled away and only the legions from the Savage Lands are stationed here, there may be some surprises. The Void Principality wants to become the eighth empire, at this time, if there is no accident, it should have been notified to the whole continent through various channels, so it is even more impossible for Sean to consume the elite combat power of the Void Principality here, anyway, there are many tribes in the wilderness, and the army is sufficient - even if many tribes have been lost due to the two splits before and after, but in terms of comprehensive strength, it can still be compared with the average first-class kingdom.

With William in command, and two super powerhouses, Kokilei and Tungsten Ramo, the strength that can be exerted may not be weaker than that of the super-first-class kingdom.

It's just that it is impossible for Sean to send all the tribal forces of the Savage Lands out.

There are a total of six entrances to the Savage Lands, which are the six areas marked by the first Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

At present, the Great Rift Valley, which originally belonged to the Dabion Kingdom, and the Millennium Covenant Zone, which belonged to the Millennium Covenant Empire, have both fallen under Sean's control. Especially in the Great Rift Valley, because it borders the territory of the Void Principality, Sean has built a fortress in the Great Rift Valley, plus it is Sean's native territory, so the control is undoubtedly the strongest; And the barbaric fortress of the Millennium Covenant Zone. Although it has only just fallen into Sean's hands, because this is the front line of resistance to the army of the undead, the defense is better than that of the Great Rift Valley, but it is the place where Sean has the least to worry.

But other than that, the remaining four regional entrances are still out of Sean's control.

No one wants their neighbor to be a huge giant, so Sean has to worry about once he draws a large number of troops from the Savage Lands. These guys won't take advantage of it. You must know that in addition to the Birmingham District, which is firmly controlled by the Kingdom of Birmingham, the remaining three areas can be regarded as public areas, which means that there are several countries bordering these three areas.

Once these countries attack together, the power generated will be comparable to that of a super-first-class kingdom, if not comparable to that of the Empire.

"Strictly speaking, there are only three areas that we need to worry about." William stretched out his hand on the unfolded map of the Savage Lands, and tapped the Roberts District to the northwest, Nadaraf to the south, and Birmingham to the southwest. Then he spoke, "Of the three regions, Birmingham is controlled by the Kingdom of Birmingham, an ancient kingdom of first-class kingdom level, and it is also the main target we need to worry about. The second Roberts District is jointly defended by the Rhodes Kingdom, the Bernese Knight Kingdom, and the Principality of Wrightin, and the Byrne Knight Kingdom and the Wrightin Kingdom can be ignored at all, and the Rhodes Kingdom is just a third-rate kingdom, and the troops that can be dispatched in this area are extremely limited. Unless other kingdoms try to send troops to take advantage of it, but then these three countries will also be completely passive. Savvy authorities will certainly not allow this, so it is not clear whether they will send troops or not. ”

"But the Knight Kingdom of Byrne and the Duchy of Wrightin both have suzerains, and if their suzerains want to send troops, then the nature is different." Sean frowned.

"Yes, so what we need to consider is actually the suzerainty behind these two principalities. However, they are not very large. It's just at the level of second-rate to first-class. William had obviously done enough intelligence gathering work, and there was not much worry on his face at this time, "Besides, these two countries don't dare to send too strong troops to participate in the battle, and they have a lot of problems on their side." If the national strength is found to be weak......"

The latter words, William didn't say, but anyone in their right minds knew what was going to happen.

"Therefore, even if these two areas want to take advantage of the fire, the troops that can be dispatched are relatively limited. The only trouble is the Nadaraf district, which is a real public area. When William said this, he also frowned, "This is the area with the largest number of mercenary regiments and mercenary groups in the entire Southern Continent, and many countries here are accustomed to hiring mercenary regiments or mercenaries when they are fighting. …… If those mercenary regiments don't have any strength, forget it, but the water in here is very deep, even in the Void Realm, there is no way to collect too much information, and many empires and super-first-class kingdoms like to train here secretly. ”

"It's a real nuisance." Sean sighed helplessly, "So...... Our march route, decided to be the Erlisen District? ”

"That's what I decided." William nodded, "The control of the Erisian District is the Principality of Equiri, but although it is ruled by the Principality, it is actually a public area, and several countries bordering the Rios Forest, including the Fascist Kingdom, have entered the wilderness through this place. …… And most importantly, the Duchy of Erkiri has never built any decent fortifications in this place, and once our army arrives, even if there is a real war, they will definitely not be able to stop it. ”

"This time, the rebellion of the barbarian tribes, the Principality of Erkiri also participated, right?" Sean asked in a deep voice.

"Basically, those countries that can enter the Wild Lands through the Eresian Zone can be considered complicit." William said lightly, "It's better to hold on to the entrance area of a wild land like this, especially the area close to our border, in our hands. ”

"We can forgive them for their role in this operation by letting the Principality of Erkiri hand over the Erisian region according to the official word, and then giving them some compensation." Sean thought for a moment, then spoke, "Don't drive too high for compensation. Just make the Principality of Equiria feel the pain in the flesh. ”

As soon as he heard this, William knew what Sean was thinking: "You are more vicious than me, at least I am giving people pain." ”

"If you can avoid war as much as possible, why not avoid it?" Sean also smiled, his voice was light and calm, "Since you have to guard against the enemies in the other three areas, you may take advantage of the fire to rob." Then we can't bring too many troops out, at least half of them should be left in response to a possible attack. In this case, we naturally want to reduce casualties as much as possible, especially if we can also obtain a batch of resources to replenish it, why not? ”

"Of course, the most important thing is that the Duchy of Erkiri didn't really do anything stupid, but it was just a low strength, so it was inevitably coerced." Sean shrugged his shoulders and continued, "But even so. They must also pay the price for their actions. Our real goal is the fascist kingdom, and the other guys will put it aside for the time being, and when we finish cleaning up the fascist kingdom, we will come to them to settle accounts. ”

"That's not bad." William nodded, agreeing with Sean's approach, "However, are you so sure that the soldiers of those wild tribes have such high combat effectiveness and awareness? ”

"It's not that I'm sure, it's the facts." Sean spoke. "A person who has been used as a backyard and has been invaded for countless years, but he has always been able to shrink back and endure defense. He was even almost sold by the intrigues of the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce. Now we tell them that we can take them out to settle accounts with the enemies who have been invading them all along, and let them also taste the taste of being invaded and plundered by others, and finally when the time comes to retaliate, you see if these people will burst out with 300 percent power. ”

"It's not that I don't know this, it's ...... The combat power of these barbarian tribes is too weak. William sighed helplessly. Didn't you see a military exercise arranged by me and Hela before, Alfred, Clof, Abazaar, any legion led by any one of them can easily abuse a legion several times the size of them, even according to your grading method, even the level of a sixth-level army is not their opponent. ”

"The problem with the Savage Lands is not only in terms of equipment. And even more important, that is, the lack of tactical means. Although Sean's understanding of the wild land is not deep enough, at least he has very little contact in the game, but he has not read less of the articles on the forum, so he can more or less summarize some content, "They have no strategic awareness, and the tactical means are only the simplest ambushes and raids, although they do dare to fight, but they are very helpless in the face of intrigues and tricks, and they don't even understand the concept of troop coordination." …… But this time, we don't have you, with your level and ability, you can definitely lead them to glory, and we also happen to regard this operation as a training, as long as we can survive this battle in the end, I am afraid that there will be a terrible jump in strength. ”

William thought about it carefully for a while, and found that in the military exercises to compete with the wild land, their tactical methods were indeed very crude and poor, so he acquiesced to Sean's statement, of course, he acquiesced more to Sean's appreciation of him, and looked at Sean with a look of "Oops, you have a good eye".

"But take all the super strong away, is it okay?" William didn't have any worries about fighting the fascists, he was really worried about the Wild Lands and the Wild Fortresses.

"I've left my hands behind, no problem." Sean nodded, "Alexis and them can rush to the dangerous place at any time to rescue at any time." ”

Of course, Sean had to keep enough of his followers to dare to send out Kokire, Tungsten Ramo, and Alexis.

Anyway, as long as Tungsten Ramo is there, he can locate the exact coordinates at any time and open the Chaos Portal, which is why Sean summoned Noro back to the Savage Fortress. However, it is very likely that Hela's side, who is in charge of the Savage Lands, will not have time to support in the first place, but compared to the enemy situation that the Savage Fortress needs to face, the enemies that the Savage Lands will face are only humans, and the danger is much lower - at least these great powers will never send super strong people to fight.

And the legendary powerhouses, those savage special seat tribes, and first-class seat tribes are more or less one or two, two or three are in charge, and Sean doesn't plan to bring all the legendary powerhouses with him, so naturally there will be enough people left to protect Hela. And Alexis, after solving the nest of death, will also arrive at Hela's side to sit down, unless it is a really unsolvable big problem when attacking the fascist kingdom, Sean has no intention of letting Alexis come over.

When everything was arranged and the corresponding backup plans and countermeasures were prepared, the Void Principality finally began to mobilize the whole country.

With the size and strength of the Void Principality today, once the national mobilization begins, it will be impossible to hide this move from anyone. Especially when the Void Principality's grain and grass began to concentrate on Oasis City in the Wild Lands, the first giant city-state built in the Great Rift Valley with the addition and settlement of the Wild Tribal Federation, the movements of the surrounding countries began to seem a little flustered.

The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, which is already the basic cognition of war science.

Especially with the mobilization and assembly of so many tribes in the wilderness, there is no way to hide it from the prying eyes of others. What's more, from the beginning, Sean didn't plan to hide anyone from anyone at all, what he wanted was to announce to everyone in a dignified manner: I have decided this battle!

Almost at the time of the official national mobilization of the Void Principality, two letters carried by the envoys of the Void Principality also went to two separate places.

The first place is Florence. The home base of Wiles, the Palazzo Florence, is also known as the former Palazzo Louverance.

Since Lane's annexation of the Kingdom of Dabiang, Florence has occupied the territory of the former Prince of Cazes of the Kingdom of Dabiang, including the Palace of Louverance. However, with the arrival of Florence, the palace was officially renamed Palazzo Florence, and the territory ruled by Florence was also known as the Roman Domain.

Florence. Wiles, one of the core members of the noble faction outside the Lane Kingdom, is also one of the few powerful marquis in the entire kingdom. There are two of the most powerful legions under his command, the Holy Roman Knights and the Roman Zealots.

This time, Sean has to make a break with the fascist kingdoms, including the Wiles family, who were kicked out of their home after the failure of the Florentine struggle for inheritance.

Sean believes that Fiorentina will be happy to join the war.

The place where the second letter was sent was the Duchy of Equiri.

In the letter, Sean laid out all the evidence he had gathered about the Principality of Equiri's alliance to instigate civil strife among the barbarian tribes in an attempt to destroy the peace of the Void Principality. Such an open-track accusation did not at all resemble the diplomatic rhetoric used by the aristocracy or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of a principality, so when they received this letter of condemnation, the top brass of the Principality of Equili was stunned.

But what made them even more stunned was the demand for compensation after the letter.

It was a densely written indemnity sheet full of fifteen pieces of letterhead, and judging from the content of the letter alone, everyone would think that there was a traitor in the principality, otherwise how could they be so clear about the existing stocks and resource reserves of the entire principality?

Sean's request is indeed excessive, but there is indeed room to say that there is still room for it: he directly demanded nearly one-third of the resources of the entire Principality of Equiri, a price that the Principality of Equili can pay, but it will also feel extremely painful. Because once they pay these reparation resources, then the development of the entire Principality of Equili is likely to lag behind by more than thirty years.

Of course, Sean also made it very clear: it doesn't matter if you don't want to give it, we will take it ourselves when the time comes. However, if we take it ourselves, I'm afraid it's more than that, so please think about it carefully.

Naked threat of war! (To be continued.) )
