Section 488 Judgment
Hu Yao didn't know how many soldiers the white man lost on that bloody and chaotic night. But just the scene he saw after he rode his horse into the camp, he could know that there would definitely be no fewer white man who died in battle.
The young Regent has always claimed that "the dragon clan must abandon barbarism and move towards civilization."
Hu Yaoxian agreed with this. He did not like barbarism, he liked the civilized and elegant way of holy lakes. This was not a simple pleasure, but a recognition and understanding of evolution. Of course, there are many ways to interpret the word "civilization". Hu Yaoxian also believes that the most important and basic part is to abandon some of the terrible food habits of the northern barbarians.
Large-scale changes are impossible, at least not now. After all, productivity is here. The dragon clan must surpass the tiger clan and the lion clan. They have formed rules and regulations and even laws, and they still have to maintain them for a while for the tiger clan and the lion clan. Food... is still a topic that cannot be avoided. Whether it is nutrition or taste, meat is definitely better than traditional food.
The Lion King took out a large amount of potatoes and corn to supply the front-line army, and there was no meat in it.
Thinking of the battlefield where the lion clan logistics staff were cleaning... Hu Yaoxian could only shake his head secretly and talk to himself contemptuously, mocking the old guy Shi Rui for being really terrified. However, thinking from the perspective of others, it is normal to do this. It is beneficial to only allow his own people to enjoy. Anyway, potatoes and potatoes are also food. Although the method of making is sneaky, it is really petty, but it has not violated the contract of the three clans.
Hu Yaoxian never thought that he was looking forward to the decisive battle so urgently now.
He suddenly felt that war could change many things, including the comparison of strength among ethnic groups.
For some reason, looking at the Dragon Clan soldiers who were marching south in the distance, Hu Yaoxian's thought "They are our people."
All northern barbarians united, no longer had ethnic divisions, and truly merged into a powerful country.
Will such a miracle be realized?
...
The main tent of the Rhine Kingdom army.
Looking at the spread of letter paper in his hand, Duke Kalis felt his mind blank and he completely lost the ability to think.
The letter paper is very thick and very strong. Even if it is tear hard, it will only cause wrinkles on the paper surface. It must be rubbed repeatedly and hard to cause damage. This is a special letter paper specially used for the military and nobles to convey important messages. It has very little output and is expensive.
This is an emergency secret sent from the Shenwei Fortress. The content was shocking that the fortress was attacked, and a large-scale giant army appeared on the east side.
"Please return to support us immediately!"
The font in the letter is very large, and it can be seen that the writer is deliberately doing it. There is no accurate data, no detailed judgment and analysis of the situation, and many words are spoken. This is obviously the oral statement of the sender, and then the person below copied it and distributed it to multiple messengers.
This is the safest way to do it. As long as a messenger completes the delivery, the goal will be achieved.
The messenger who rushed into the camp in the Rhine Kingdom was covered in blood. He was so tired that he could die at any time. He could hardly control the horse, and he didn't even have the strength to grasp the reins. If the soldiers hadn't been quick to help him down from the horse's back, the poor messenger would have no longer been able to hold on the spot.
From this we can see that the situation has been so serious that it is very urgent.
The other messengers had the same secret message to Saxon, Goreth, Viking, the Kingdom of God and the camping area of the Holy See. Carlis knew very well that it would not take long before Bishop Somson would summon all the Lords to discuss together.
This is not the point, the key lies in some of the issues mentioned in the letter.
The giant appeared from the east of the fortress?
The east of Shenwei Fortress is a wilderness, with no grass growing. Continue to the east, there are mountains and seas. Not to mention people, it is difficult to see even mice.
Kalis' first feeling was that the fortress commander was lying and deliberately exaggerating. However, Tazville and the Duke were old acquaintances, and Kalis knew very well about his character. Tazville was cunning and good at engaging in the camp. This guy was very utilitarian and often used any means to achieve his goal. But this does not mean that he would risk being scolded and punished by all the kings of the Kingdom coalition forces, and even lost the opportunity to kill the northern giants once a year, deliberately severed the ordinary situation and forced the Kingdom coalition forces to turn around and return.
What serious consequences will be caused by anyone with a normal mind doing this? Once discovered that this is a scam, even if Tazville dies ten thousand times, it is not enough. All male members of his entire family will be sentenced to death, and women will be ravaged to death.
The letter also mentioned an important situation that the giant had a cannon.
This is not a secret for Kalis. Flamar escaped from the front line and confessed to Kalis the details of his defeat. These things have been completely covered up with Flamar's secret killing, but Kalis believes that he has the lead, at least in terms of intelligence than other kingdom generals.
The Duke frowned deeply and fell into rapid thinking.
The main force of the Viking Kingdom was completely wiped out. Framar was eager to fight at that time, and he led his army to go too fast and too far. After the northern giants won, they advanced faster than expected. They crossed the Pantuo River and chased the fleeing Viking soldiers with cavalry troops, and successively captured several Viking supply points. Just yesterday, the scout sent by the Rhine Kingdom to the west reported that a small number of traces of the movement of the giants were found on the west side of the mountain forest. It was judged that it might be the scout of the other party.
No one knew that Flamar was dead. Currently, there were not many Viking troops operating with the Kingdom Alliance, only more than 6,000 people. They mainly existed as transportation forces, maintaining the logistics supply line from the Lock Dragon Pass warehouse to the "Main Viking Force" in the west. But even the Viking Earl, who was the captain of the baggage force, was in the dark by Kalismond. He handed over a large amount of supplies to the main force of Rhine, but did not know that whether flour or butter, gunpowder or bullets, all supplies were swallowed by Kalis, and it was impossible to send them to his own people.
The army of the Kingdom of Gorgela was divided into two parts. Marquis Elken led the main force, Viscount Monio led the vanguard army. Their advance was very fast, and they had been about a day and a journey with the Kingdom coalition. Of course, what we are talking about here is Marquis Elken. The Kingdom of Gorgela sent more than 700,000 troops this time, plus about 500,000 logistics and transport personnel, with a total force of up to 1.2 million.
The seven hundred thousand combat troops are very large. It is said that Viscount Monio repeatedly requested to increase the strength of the vanguard army. His request was met. Marquis Elken sent more reinforcements several times. As of yesterday afternoon, Kalis asked the transport captain of the Kingdom of Porcelain who returned from the northern frontline at that time, and got an accurate answer from the other party: Viscount Monio's vanguard army had increased to more than 150,000, but he had not been able to find the main force of the giant, nor did he get any spoils from the occupied giant town.
Kalis is a veteran, and he knows very well that this means that the giant is ready to stand firm and clear the world, and is determined to carry out the struggle to the end.
Although many people were mocking the northern giants for being savage and ignorant, Kalis himself said nothing less. But this time, he really felt threatened and even shuddered.
Danger is approaching.
Too much intelligence shows that the northern giants are not as backward as they imagined. They should have advanced technology that exceeds the southern part of the mainland in some aspects.
This time, Kalis brought 600,000 main players of Rhine, and his logistics support staff of up to 500,000, which also combined more than one million.
The scale of the troops sent by the Saxon Kingdom was similar to that of the Rhine, and the same number.
Because of the successful development of "No. 6", the Holy See had great confidence in this battle. After Bishop Somson led the leading troops to arrive and captured Suolong Pass, the Holy See sent the second and third batches of reinforcements. All the troops were added together in total, and the current total number of the Holy See army has exceeded 800,000, and more than 600,000 "engineers" were responsible for logistics and logistics transportation.
The largest army was the Kingdom of God, with the number of soldiers alone being one million. Their logistics personnel were almost the same. If they had not made enough preparations before, they spent half a year to stockpile a large amount of supplies at the Shenwei Fortress, and after the war started, various supplies were directly transported to the Dragon Pass fortress. The distance between the Kingdom of God and the northern continent alone would take at least three months of transportation time to make them lose the war.
Because of different living habits and beliefs, the Kingdom of God has always been strongly wary of the other four countries and the Holy See. Carlis fully understood this. In fact, the king of the Kingdom of God is unwilling to send such a large army. However, the coalition forces of other kingdoms are eyeing each other. On the surface, the contract signed is just a piece of paper. Everyone will definitely abide by the agreement when needed. Once the situation of the war changes, the first person who faces the opposite side will definitely be "his own people". The huge army is extremely important at that time, and the commander general of the Kingdom of God has been working steadily since the war started. He ordered that after breaking through the Loong Pass, he built a city on the ground, and even planned arable land. He prepared to wait until the end of this winter and the arrival of spring, some soldiers and engineers will be mainly cultivated and cultivated to alleviate and even solve the logistics supply problem.
Many noble generals scoffed at this practice. However, Kalis believed that this was truly in line with the interests of the Kingdom of God. To be fair, once the northern giants are eliminated and the threat from the north of the mainland is completely lifted, the four kingdoms and the Holy See will definitely target the attack on the Kingdom of God. Instead of being busy dealing with it at that time, it is better to prepare in advance now.
There is another problem, that is, the attitude of the Saxon Kingdom. The terrain of the north and south continents determines that Saxon and Rhine have a decisive supportive role in the northern battlefield. Especially Saxons, they have powerful fleets that other kingdoms cannot match. Even if the land supply is not smooth, they can still provide support by sea. From this perspective, Vikings, the Gossein, the Kingdom of God and the Holy See must rely on Saxon and Rhine to maintain a stable supply line and carry out the northern battle.
But the problem now is no longer as simple as the national attitude. Kalis felt that this battle could not be fought anymore and had to return immediately. Now he turned around and returned to Rhine.
If the situation was not extremely serious, Tazville would never have sent a letter of distress in this tone.
The reason why it is called a "fortress" is not only in terms of terrain, but also in terms of comprehensive advantages in terms of military strength and equipment. But no matter what, it is an isolated city after all. The giants in the north seem to be weak, but no one knows their true strength.
In the first battle, the main force of the Vikings was wiped out, and even experienced generals like Flamar were forced to wear makeup and escape... This is enough to illustrate the problem.
Kalis no longer hesitated. He suddenly stood up from the chair and whispered a loud order to the adjutant standing opposite him: "Bei Ma, I will go to meet Bishop Somson now."
The adjutant kindly reminded: "Sir, it's dinner time now. Bishop Somsen doesn't like others to disturb you at this time. Do you see if it's better to choose another time?"
Kalis looked at the other person with a gloomy gaze: "This is not a question you need to consider. Do what I said, right away!"
Without waiting for the adjutant to answer, he immediately added: "Also, I will pass on my orders, and the entire army will pack up, and the military kitchens will now prepare three-day dry marching food. All outings will be cancelled and alert at any time."
...
A high-level priest led the Duke into the bishop's tent. The first thing that caught Carlis's eyes was Bishop Somson holding a letter paper in his hand, looking unconscious.
Just a look of raising his head made the priest understand what he should do. He bowed, turned around and left the tent, and put down the thick curtain.
"Sit! I've been waiting for you." Bishop Somsen, who had a gloomy face, raised his hand and pointed to the chair.
The Duke sat down as he said, and asked bluntly: "Have you also received a letter of help from Tazville?"
The burly bishop nodded, folded the letter in half and said in a depressing voice: "It seems that the situation is serious, and we have to make a decision as soon as possible."
Calis's voice was mixed with a meditation: "Get away now! Don't hesitate anymore."
Bishop Somsen was obviously surprised by the sentence: "Retreat? Do you mean the entire army retreat?"
"Yes!" Kalis' attitude was very firm: "We sent a large number of scouts one after another, but we have never been able to find out the actual situation of the northern giants. They have given up many places, and we are currently occupying empty cities, and there is no one at all..."
"It's normal for empty city." Bishop Somsen glanced at the duke and said lightly: "You seem to have forgotten that "No. 6" has special abilities, which will devour all animals, including giants."
"We have not found traces of battle in the cities we have occupied." Kalis admitted: "I have not exaggerated it, I only believe in everything that the eyes see. The scouts have not found any "No. 6". I have reason to believe that they have been wiped out."
"Extinguish?" The bishop seemed to hear the funnyest joke in the world: "You mean those giants?"
