When Lorran Hill returned to Clancia, it was already the end of July, and then the whole country began to mobilize war.

In early September, the weather turned slightly colder, and the Frost Rose army crossed the border of New Velgar and advanced westward, and Hoplane was in a hurry.

Karites headquarters, conference hall.

The lacquered night flower pattern with black petals and purple stamens is printed in the center of the hall wall, and below is a large oval table.

A representative read the report first.

"According to the information we obtained, the opponent's vanguard this time had about 200,000 people, of which 30,000 were cavalry. In addition, there were 5 golems and about 800 golems. The combat power of golems ranged from 4-6 in the sequence."

"The commander of the army was Jenkins, the former general of Rurn, who was 57 years old and graduated from the Rurn National Military Academy. He served as a border defense officer and commander of the sweeping legion. He is now promoted to the rank of major general."

"Now, our permanent army in New Velga is only more than 50,000, and the private soldiers and temporary mercenaries of major chambers of commerce can be raised about 100,000. Thanks to the long-term trade needs, our horse reserves are sufficient. If we collect temporary 50,000 cavalry."

After listening to this analysis, the people below started discussing in a low voice, and then a representative asked.

"That is to say, there are sufficient military training soldiers here, with only 150,000, of which the maximum is 50,000 cavalry, right?"

"Yes, but there is no obvious gap between the two sides in terms of equipment of ordinary soldiers."

"Because of the early years of our trade with Rurna, the armor, swords, etc. we obtained were all made of excellent steel, which is better than other countries among the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua."

"To ordinary soldiers nowadays, we have little gap with the other side and have the advantage of local combat, with 150,000 and 200,000."

"However, the other party has obvious advantages in the extraordinary, golem, and airship."

"In conventional battles, the opponent can rely on golems to resist long-range shooting such as bows and arrows, and then advance the front and destroy walls and towers. At the same time, the bombing of mages and airships can also kill dense troops on a large scale. Once there is no equal means of confrontation, our army will quickly collapse after the war."

After listening to this analysis, someone asked: "Will there be more assistance from Crancia and Hinaki Parliament now?"

"Crancia has mobilized at present, and it is said that the army has advanced to the border. On the Hinaki Parliament, Frost Rose has sent sea warships and cruise ships to patrol and intercept the Jingyue Strait to prevent us from providing assistance to the other direction."

"Considering the size of the Frost Rose, the Hinaki Council may not make a decision to stand completely with us and resist us. Because the other party is an archipelago, it is difficult to completely unify domestic opinions. If we want to stand completely with us without the attack, it will be very difficult."

"The previous aid can only be achieved by a small number of extraordinary people, but now the Frost Rose is a battle to conquer the country. If we continue to help us, it means becoming a mortal enemy with the Frost Rose, which is something that their domestic nobles do not want to see."

"Although the mages of the Hinaki Parliament occupied a lot of seats, the nobles of the former Principality of Cranberry still retained a lot of power. They would not make decisions with great risks and little benefits."

"The previous support was only easy to achieve because the mages of Hinaki Council and the scale was not large. Now, it is not that easy."

"It seems that we have been alone for a while this time." A representative sighed.

"Yes, at least two weeks later, reinforcements from Clancia will arrive, and even if we arrive, the difficulties we face will not be resolved immediately, because the subsequent troops of Frost Rose will gradually enter the battlefield."

"The airship and golem are still the difficulties we have to face."

"However, now this is the only way. Fortunately, the Hinaki Council has left many mages on our side to help resist the opponent's attack."

"Hopland's wall is not high. Due to the continuous expansion in recent years, many of the walls have been demolished. The newly built walls are not very thick. Once the other party bombards the golem, it will only take a short time to push them down."

"So, it's better for us to fight in the field, rely on the maneuverability of the cavalry to interfere with the opponent's supplies, delay the opponent's march, and then wait for an opportunity to launch a raid."

"It's all that is the case at the moment." Everyone present gradually unified their ideas.

"Also, I have some questions to add." A representative raised his hand.

"In the New Velga Alliance, many forces or chambers of commerce do not have a firm sense of resistance. They are very likely to surrender suddenly in the battle, which is something we need to be vigilant."

"Now those who really stand with me and have a strong sense of resistance are the Helis family, the Yagtilin family, and the Lamiya family. The rest are not reliable."

Someone sighed and said, "This is an internal and external trouble."

"Things have never been satisfactory, so we can only do our best to do our best."

—————

Frost Rose Border, a small town in Vilga.

The busy town on weekdays is particularly quiet today. You can see some guards wearing iron armor on the streets who maintain order. They are all locals and will not do anything bad. They just prevent some abnormalities in the town. After all, now is an extremely critical moment.

Many townsmen stood by the roadside, looking at the army advancing on the earth in the distance.

These soldiers carried long spears and formed a long team in their field of vision that could not see their heads and tails. As they advanced, dust rose up on the ground, making their field of vision gradually blurred.

On the side of these teams, golems about ten meters high are also moving forward.

Frost rose learned the lessons that had been brought about by transportation difficulties. This time they made large steel frame transport vehicles, letting the golems lie in it, and then a few golems were pulled in front of them.

In this way, rotation between each other can not only save a lot of magic crystal fuel, but also carry the golems that are paralyzed due to damage and repair them on the way without completely abandoning them on the roadside.

There was an airship floating every few hundred meters in the sky. They monitored the situation below and were always on guard against possible sudden attacks.

Most of the young mages who have just graduated from the academy have been recruited now, some of which are used to drive and maintain golems, while some are staying in airships to support the battle below at any time.

And among the army of Frost Rose, a general wearing strong armor and a dark blue cloak was also walking on horseback.

His speed was not fast, and he sometimes looked around at various situations encountered during the marching, and then ordered the personal soldiers on standby.

"Why is Lord Jenkins so worried? Aren't we the advantage of this battle?" A high-level mage who accompanied him asked the general.

"It is best to be careful in everything. This is not something you mage do to experiment. If you fail, you can come back again. The mistakes in the war will mean the life and death of thousands of people."

"This time, although we have many advantages in terms of weapons and extraordinary people, Crancia...I have studied several battle reports of its founding battle. Their opponent, West Wind Kingdom, is also a superman who has several times more powerful than Crancia, but he was still defeated in the end."

"War is not just war, sometimes it will be a fierce collision of determination and will of both sides, rather than simply pile up data."
