Chapter 189: The reason for the decisive battle
"Is that really good?" Sophia stared at Sivi, who was sitting in a wide soft chair and browsing a parchment note: "Leave that girl in Golovito? Is she blocking a fatal blow for you?"
Although she seems to be speaking up for Shalan from the content, even if she is a silly person with a relationship like Sivi, she knows very well that if she really shows any evil intentions to Shalan, Sophia will immediately turn against him...
So he calmly folded the parchment note in his hand, then suppressed the faint feeling in his heart, and looked at Sophia without fear and said, "We are at the academy under our feet, and we are going to the battlefield. Sharan is neither a student or teacher here nor a person who should go to the battlefield, so there is no need to bring her."
"Hmphia" Sophia seemed to snort at Siwei's answer, but judging from the results, Siwei still managed to get away with it.
"But why do we give up other places and rush to Cromorabi? There are many places along the way that the battle has not stopped yet, right?" After talking about private matters, Sophia sat back on the sofa and began to discuss business with Sivi seriously.
After all, the girl is still very sensible and will not mess up the business because of private affairs.
"I just received a letter from Princess Yiwenjielin." Xiwei wiped his cold sweat quietly, and then pushed the parchment note that had just been folded to Sophia: "Look at it too."
There are already ordinary paper in this world. However, as a product of alchemy, the cost of that paper is far more expensive than that made by Cai Lun during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Of course, a little money is nothing to ordinary nobles, let alone royal families. You should know that the pictures of Huoli's National Magic Academy alone account for as much as 80% of the total collection of books.
The reason why His Highness the Princess uses parchment instead of ordinary paper is actually because this letter was sent by a letter.
Unlike birds like Xinyi White-headed Owl, which are often used to deliver letters, Xinyi is originally named Nanyang Vulture, and its flight speed can beat Xinyi White-headed Owl several streets. It includes monsters, and can rank among the top ten among known birds!
Moreover, this kind of bird is fierce by nature. When flying in the air, even some small monsters dare not mess with it. It can guarantee that there will be no messes like the one like Xinquan that will be eaten by some carnivorous birds before the letter has been delivered... In fact, the chance of such messes happening is quite high.
However, because of this, the letters carried by this bird have to withstand a lot of tests. For ordinary paper, for various reasons, it will become ragged when delivered. Instead, the more backward but stronger parchment can be kept more complete.
"Decisive battle? Why do you make such a decision at this time?" Sophia saw the message written on the note, her mouth widened and closed it again after a while. She blinked a few times and asked Xiwei incomprehensible: "Now Huolian is at a disadvantage in the war, right? Why do you still need to mobilize local troops to fight against the enemy in a decisive battle? Are you not afraid that the entire empire will be gradually eroded by vampires!"
"I think this decision was made because I was afraid of being eroded." Xiwei touched his chin - because he hadn't shaved for a long time, his beard was already slapped on his chin - while sorting out his thoughts, he told Sophia his guess: "The local army is definitely much inferior to the vampire army. Although they can continue to be stalemate at this stage, after the fall of neighboring countries one after another, the Huoli'an Empire as a whole will fall into a very dangerous situation, so we should just start to draw troops from the local area now and hit the combat power to fight a decisive battle."
"If the vampires face the battle, it is naturally a good thing. After all, this super-large and intensive battle is more suitable for the magicians to play than the dispersed army. Even if Mrs. Sharon wants to sit in the Angora Mountains to prevent those orcs from coming to this muddy water. Dean Bruno's strength alone is enough for those vampires to drink a pot. The magicians alone can easily reverse the unfavorable situation when they divided the troops."
When talking about this, Sivi found a hint of honorable smile on Sophia's face.
It seems that although this girl has been saying that she wants to separate her relationship with the Lange family, she actually has some feelings for the family.
"But those vampires can't come out, right? Just like what I said just now, I would directly occupy the area with superior forces..." Sophia immediately asked Xiwei.
Although he was thinking about the messy things in his mind, Xiwei was not at all panicked and immediately replied: "It would be even better if the vampires did not intend to gather together to fight a decisive battle. It would be better to say that this is the most favorable situation for the Huoli'an royal family at present - although it would not be a good thing for the people in some areas."
Even if some troops were drawn, each region still maintained a strong combat power, and in addition to the military organization, the lords and chambers of commerce in various places had private soldiers. When facing the combination of vampires and demons, even merchants with interests would resist desperately. What's more, there were civilian combat power such as mercenaries...
In short, even if some troops are drawn, the local combat power can continue to be stalemate with the enemy for a period of time. However, because the central government has accumulated strong troops, it can crush and defeat the conventional enemy troops in the shortest time when facing the troops of conventional enemies! Even if some places are occupied by vampires, as long as this army with absolute advantage comes forward, it will definitely be able to expel and annihilate them in the posture of autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. In the end, as long as such a big victory is repeated a few times, the empire's advantage will soon accumulate to an invertible level. At that time, even if the vampires come back and plan to gather, it will be just a dish, and there is no way to change their doomed failure.
"As you say that, aren't we completely need to come forward?" Sophia asked strangely: "No matter what you do, the Empire will win..."
"Theory is just theory, and there are still many factors that will affect the final result." Sivey shrugged: "Anyway, you just need to regard this battle as a shining opportunity for our Adrick Academy."
He stood up from his wide soft chair, stared at the whistle towers under construction in the crystal ball on his desk, and raised his eyebrows with a smile on his lips: "Can we make our names known to the entire Eastern Plain? This time!"
Facing Siwei's bold words, Sophia took a sip of black tea and asked Siwei calmly: "The last question."
"What?"
"What exactly is the doll we brought back for?"
"Forehead……"
I originally planned to let Alice learn puppet art, but now I don’t have that time at all.
Xiwei was crying, and at the same time, she silently cursed the damn vampires in her heart to start a war for Mao so early... (To be continued...)
