Chapter 749: Chester Kingdom's continuous reinforcement of troops, Magic Island's determin
In the previous story, we mentioned that Kashen hid in the pasture to recover from his injuries in order to avoid being hunted by the enemy. At the same time, the Magic Island was actively mobilizing the forces of the secular world to prepare for a large-scale war against the Kingdom of Chester.
For the Magic Island, this war is not just a simple military operation, but also an important opportunity to demonstrate its authority to the world.
As for the Mortal Kingdom, they also had to accept the guidance and orders of the Magic Island. Even the largest country in the human world, the Zaun Empire, would face sanctions.
However, they are well aware that if they go against the wishes of the Magic Island, they will face severe sanctions from the Magic Island.
Therefore, the current situation is that nearly 300,000 troops are rushing straight to the capital of the Zaun Empire like a torrent, and they have not divided their troops to occupy other territories. At the same time, a large number of elite knights are constantly entering the Zaun Empire and joining the war.
Facing such a powerful enemy, the Zaun Empire remained unusually calm. They decisively adopted a retreat strategy, retreating 2,000 miles in one breath and concentrating their troops in a series of fortified cities for defense.
At the same time, the entire Zaun Empire was urgently gathering troops, preparing to launch a full-scale counterattack at the right time.
After all, no country can easily swallow such a vast land. Therefore, the Zaun Empire never panics when facing war. They have enough confidence and strength to repel the enemy when necessary. At present, the Zaun Empire has only sent a small number of war eagle troops to harass and attack the invading army, and has not launched a large-scale military resistance.
The royal falconer searched the cliff for two days but to no avail. No one was found alive or dead, as if the person had evaporated from the face of the earth, so he had to withdraw his troops.
The princess led her army back to the falconry base, waiting for the thieves to cause trouble again. She refused to believe that the criminal was dead.
"Pass the order down to search the perimeter of Tianzhu Mountain, and notify the checkpoints to strictly investigate any suspicious persons!"
"Yes! Let's arrange it right away. We must avenge our deceased chief officer!"
Everyone was very excited and unwilling to accept that they had not found the criminal in the past two days.
The princess sighed and said, "The Kingdom of Chester has gone too far. When we have free time, we falconers will go to their country and teach them a lesson!"
"Princess, how is the front line?"
Although the falconer was concerned about the border war, he could only worry about it because he had no transfer order and could not personally participate in this war where he might have made great achievements. In comparison, the prisoner seemed less important. After all, in his opinion, obtaining the scarce resources of the empire through this war was more important.
The princess was also very helpless about this. She sighed and said, "Chester has grown stronger under our noses. Now it can bring out hundreds of thousands of elite troops at once. This is really the strength of a great country! The wise men in the court all asserted that they must not be underestimated, so we must go all out to prepare for war.
Although we may encounter some minor setbacks at present, that is only because the country is mobilizing troops. Once our army is assembled, we will surely be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop! After the criminal is executed, you will all follow this princess to the north to fight the enemy. By then, there will definitely be opportunities for you to make meritorious deeds! "
When the falcon trainer and the others heard this, they all expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, Your Highness! Our military achievements still depend on the success of this battle!"
At this time, the princess issued an order for a search, so that night, a large number of officers and soldiers came to the town of Paul and began to conduct a strict investigation.
Fortunately, Kashin hid in the pasture in advance and escaped. However, he has no fighting ability now and is still in a very dangerous situation...
Let’s talk about two things～～
In the dead of winter in the Kingdom of Pumaasai, the emancipation of serfs in the areas controlled by the king was completed, land reform was successful, tax revenue and product growth were rapid, and all that was left was to wait for the population to recover.
Although the church rebellion brought temporary difficulties to the kingdom, it unexpectedly became an opportunity for a world-changing change, which turned the kingdom into a blessing in disguise. Today, the empire is showing a vibrant scene.
At the same time, the Magic Island also began to take action. They decided to mobilize the power of the Mortal Empire and send troops to reinforce Chester to participate in the war of the Zaun Empire. The king was already aware of all this, and through diplomatic observation and other means, he had a clear understanding of the situation.
As far as the king knows, the Zaun Empire has a large number of church armed forces, which can be said to be one of their bases. In the previous Pumasai battle, about six Zaun church armed forces participated in it, but they were wiped out before they could show their true strength.
Considering that Pumasai had just experienced a fierce war and was bound to be short of troops, Magic Island originally did not intend to mobilize them to transfer troops to participate in the war. However, the king had his own ideas.
He believed that the domestic war could be entrusted to the generals of the north and south, while the task of attacking the Kuek Province could be entrusted to the Western Imperial Army. As for the Eastern Imperial Army, it was responsible for guarding the capital and ensuring its safety.
There are still many warlords and nobles with strong military forces in the country. It's time to let them "consume" some of their strength.
Therefore, the king ordered the Buick family and other families to send troops to participate in foreign wars according to the number of fiefs they had. This was equivalent to 5,000 elite knights and 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers. They would set off soon after preparing sufficient supplies.
The emperor intends to weaken the military strength of the princes. Now the princes dare not rebel and can only accept it, because to be fair, they cannot defeat the imperial guards of Marshal Tan Aili, so they dare not rebel.
After suffering a certain degree of loss of the family's elite, the family's core interests can be preserved. This price is actually acceptable. After all, the benefits gained are quite generous.
Based on this consideration, the Buick family originally only needed to send 500 elite soldiers according to the size of the fiefdom. However, unexpectedly, they actually sent 2,000 soldiers directly, plus 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers.
Judging from the current situation, it seems unnecessary for the family to raise so many soldiers. These soldiers are basically subject to various restrictions and constraints, making it difficult for them to play their due role. Moreover, their mounts are violent bears, and this powerful creature requires a lot of military funds to maintain.
The Buicks' army was not used in the domestic war, apparently because the king wanted to prevent them from becoming too powerful and posing a threat to his rule.
Instead of letting these soldiers sit idle at home, it is better to send them to fight abroad. This will not only bring rich benefits to the family, but also show the loyalty of the Buick family.
The Buick family knew the background of the royal family very well. Even before the church rebellion, when they were at the peak of their power, they did not dare to have the slightest rebellious heart.
Now that the royal family is even more powerful, it is even less likely that they would have such thoughts.
Facts have proved that the Buick family's gambling decision to proactively reduce its own forces was correct.
