Judging from the frequent contact between Angie Bena and Sophilina, the witches have a tendency to fall in favor of the Lancelot royal family, after all, their contradictions with the Holy Aether Holy See are irreconcilable, and they would rather cheapen the Lancelot royal family than fall into the hands of the Holy Aether Holy See.

Therefore, the one who was most nervous about the actions of Princess Regent Sophia was the Holy See, and as soon as she made a move, the Holy See reacted.

His Majesty the Holy See Pope Delterni, the one hundred and forty-three-year-old pope, personally went out to preach and issued a call for the Holy See to assemble, calling on the papal knights to go to the Manyu military territory to fight for the faith.

Responders are like clouds.

These fanatics, with their own rations, horses, and weapons, either alone, with their retinue, or in groups of three or five, set out on the journey without fear.

Many of them had not even touched a weapon before, and the farthest distance of their activities was no more than a few dozen miles from their homes, and they didn't even know which direction the Manyu army leader was.

Fanatical belief can sometimes make people lose even the most basic judgment.

In this expedition, from which most people are destined to never return, it is unknown whether these fanatics regret it, but it is an indisputable fact that Cardinal St. George, who is far away in the Manyu army, has received a steady stream of reinforcements.

Even in the years when the dust of the war had settled, there was still a steady stream of fanatics from the Holy Aether Holy See, and that was another story.

This phenomenon was not new in an era when information exchange was extremely backward, and it was not uncommon for some knights to go to wars that ended decades ago.

However, Sean knew that Princess Regent Sophie Lia was so excited, not because of the Manyu army leader, but because of herself, because of the Jacob River reflow plan of the Eternal Night Army.

Compared with the Jacob River re-flow plan, whether it involves area, population, or subsequent influence, it is not comparable to a Manyu military leader.

Once the operation is done, Sophia gains political capital from it, which is absolutely beyond imagination.

That's right, Sean has already received an accurate reply, and Princess Regent Sophia has decided to participate in this big gamble that will change the natural environment.

Amelia, the Red Rose, weighed far more heavily in front of Sophia than the Eternal Night Army had estimated.

In any case, this is great news for the Eternal Night Army, and they can now let it go.

The Beast Return, the invasion of the barbarians of the mountain Kentana, the merger and annexation of the Walled City Alliance...... A series of unexpected events have made the population of the Eternal Night Army no longer snowball, but growing exponentially.

It has already rushed to the upper limit of 500,000 yuan of the normal supply of the ancient river channel of the Jacob River that the Eternal Night Army originally estimated.

In the initial development plan of the Eternal Night Army, it would take ten to fifteen years to complete, even if it was repeatedly advanced due to various unexpected events, but at the summary meeting a year ago, they optimistically estimated that they still had three to five years to prepare.

I didn't expect that the year was not even halfway over, and it had already been reached.

Fortunately, there is now more fish from Andes Inland Lake and additional supplies from the Coggle Grassland Pasture, which has raised the upper limit of normal supply by dozens of percentage points.

But with the current development rate of the Eternal Night Army, there are no additional events, and it will only take a year or two to achieve it.

The Spring Thunder Plan is imminent.

Now it seems that the Eternal Night Army chose to pull Princess Regent Sophilia into the game from the beginning, which was an extremely wise decision.

Before the Spring Thunder Plan was launched, it would be good if the Eternal Night Army could barely maintain the food supply, and it would not be able to save excess food at all.

In the first two years after the Spring Thunder Project was launched, the bulk of the food supply fell on the regent Princess Sophia.

Therefore, the kind of verbal covenant between the two sides before seemed to the Eternal Night Army to be somewhat unsafe, and in order to tie up this ally, the Eternal Night Army had to throw out more good things when the time was right.

At this point, the Eternal Night Army is not too worried, not to mention the enchanted equipment that is gradually taking shape, just the list of specialties that the Eternal Night Army now has, it is full of enough temptation.

The slave rebels, who had not made a major military move for almost a year and a half, had to take military action in the face of a severe food crisis.

The target was neither the new Grand Duke Patlem nor Viscount Philip of the Manyu Army, but the Carthusian military lords who had descended south into the Kingsley family.

After a year and a half of training and reorganization, the slave rebel army finally had a little regular appearance.

Dicklon's way of using troops is also as flexible and mobile as ever, Starbuck led the large army of the slave rebel army to approach head-on, and he personally led the most elite more than 5,000 people of the slave rebel army to ambush behind the Kingsley family army, and played a beautiful front and rear attack, defeating a Kingsley family's main army.

But it doesn't stop there.

In the words of the Military Staff of the Eternal Night Army.

The slave rebels attacked the wrong target at the wrong time.

If this beautiful front and back attack had been a year and a half ago, the Slave Rebellion was at its most glorious, even if it was a year ago.

It is possible that the slave rebels swept the cartels.

But now, it's time for the current Grand Duke Buck Kingsley, the cartel's leader, to react, even if he is incompetent.

What's more, the other party is known for its shrewdness and ruthlessness, and has the nickname of the red-tailed pit in the Byron Alliance, or it is dormant in its own cave, and once it attacks, it will inevitably be fatal.

The most important thing is that the slave rebel army underestimated the extent of the Kingsley family's wealth, and the 50,000 well-equipped troops at the front were all bait in the disguise of slaves, and the real elite of the Kingsley family was dormant in the several fortresses that had just been built.

When the slave rebel army ate the bait thrown out by the Kingsley family, it was completely exposed, and nearly 100,000 elites of the Kingsley family, under the guidance of the buck flag, poured out of the nest and had a tough encounter with the slave rebel army.

It has to be said that the commander of the Kingsley family's army, Akmesser Kingsley, is also the number one person, and before this, he had already thoroughly understood the situation of the slave rebel army, and saw the weakness of the slave rebel army's poor frontal combat ability, and set a trap to force the opponent to fight a frontal battle.

After a year and a half of reorganization, the slave rebel army has the appearance of a regular army and is much better equipped, but it is really difficult to say how much the combat effectiveness has improved, because the internal rot is faster.

The composition of the slave rebel army is too mixed, with external survival pressure at the beginning, but it can also be united as one, and has the blood courage to fight to the death.

When the pressure of external survival is relieved, all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts begin to spread.

They did not have a prescient leader like Sean, who grasped this part from the beginning, and even established a supervision mechanism and supervision department in advance.

Among the two leaders of the slave rebellion, Dicron is a typical example of high military talent and low political wisdom, which is his shortcoming.

Starbuck was educated in this area, and had been in the aristocratic circles, but he did not absorb much of the merits, and all kinds of vices were tainted with a bunch of them, which played more of a counterproductive role.

The internal division, degeneration and corruption of the slave rebel army were so rapid that Starbuck played a decisive role in it.

If the slave rebels had been led by Dicron from beginning to end, it would be hard to say what would have happened now.

With nearly 300,000 people involved in the war, even if you look at the whole of Ashan, it is a super-large-scale battle.

It is by no means a battle that can determine the outcome of a war, especially when there is a super commander like Dicklon, whose keen battlefield insight and ruthless and decisive methods will have a direct impact on the battle situation.

After several years of fierce battles, Dicron has completely completed his transformation, from a gladiator to a strategic commander.

When he realized that something could not be done, he took the initiative to cut off his tail, abandoned the part of the main force that was bitten by the Kingsley family's army, and took advantage of the complex terrain of the cartel area to launch mobile guerrilla tactics.

The shortcomings of the Kingsley family's army were undoubtedly exposed at this time, they were like the Eternal Night Army, mainly infantry, and the number of cavalry was pitiful.

Without the cooperation of cavalry, it would be difficult to fight a total annihilation campaign.

However, the condition of the slave rebels continued to deteriorate, as they still had the remnants of the nobility of the Manyu army behind them.

If the slave rebels had maintained an invincible record, it might have been possible for them to pretend to be deaf and dumb and let them storm the cartel.

Now that the slave rebels were in a weakened state, unable to break through the Kingsley army's defenses, and were locked in a stalemate and melee, they rushed up like wolves that smelled fishy, ready to take the opportunity to kill them completely, to prevent the slave rebels from being cornered and coming back to plague them.

It was a super scuffle.

The Kingsley family army, Philip's aristocratic private army, the mixed army of Patrium and the Holy Aether Holy See, not only fought with the slave rebel army, but the three parties were definitely not in harmony, although there was no big fight on the surface, but in private small actions continued, today you eat my small detachment, tomorrow I will rob your grain and grass, of course, the black cauldron will be carried by the slave rebel army.

Needless to say, the contradiction between Philip and Patlem was irreconcilable, and now it is not only a power struggle between the two, but also a power game between the Lancelot royal family and the Holy Aether Holy See, the weaker the slave rebel army, the more intense the conflict between the two sides.

The conflict between Philip, Patrium and the Kingsley family can only be said that the natural disaster led by the Manyu army is too serious, and even these official regular troops are about to run out of food.

As mentioned earlier, whether it is the assistance of the royal family of Lancelot or the Holy See of the Aether, due to the transportation, it is very difficult to transport, and it can only be rescued, not cured.

What's more, their assistance is not impermanent, those who collect real money are good, and more need to be exchanged for the future benefits of the Manyu military leader.

Neither Philip nor Patlem were willing to make this move unless they had to.

The wealthy Kingsley family naturally became the fattest sheep, and they didn't rob anyone.

Although Dicron tried to move and detour, there was less and less room for him to exert himself, because there was only one direction he could break through - the Carthusian military leader.

For them, the Manyu Army has become a Jedi, there is no way to rob them, and the only army that can provide them with assistance is now in a state of lack of food, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, how can there be extra food to support them?

When the strategic objective is perceived by the enemy, no matter how good Dicron has strategy and tactics, it is in vain.

If no miracle happens, the slave rebel army, which has turned the entire Manyu army upside down, will end in tragedy.

The reason why miracles are called miracles is because they rarely happen, and the slave rebels did not wait for their own miracles, but for a complete internal split.

Dicron and Starbuck parted ways for good.

At the end of the road, the political views of the two men once again clashed fundamentally.

Starbuck thinks that the slave rebels are hopeless, and that the most elite part of the slave rebels should be singled out at this time to break into the Carthusian army, and it won't be long before they can make a comeback in the Carthusian army, where there are countless natural sources of troops.

Dicron was adamantly opposed, believing it to be a betrayal, unwilling to abandon the large forces of the slave rebels.

This is a fundamental rupture that cannot be healed.

The day after the rupture, Starbuck led 8,000 elites loyal to him to leave the temporary base camp of the slave rebel army.

The news came again, and it was already a few weeks later, Starbuck had traveled thousands of miles, along the border between the Cartel and the Manyod Army, first breaking into the plains of Asia Minor, plundering, and before the local defenders could react, they turned their heads, broke through the border, and entered the Cartel territory.

Everywhere he passed, he conquered the city, conquered everything, and was invincible, and the servants were like clouds.

The pattern followed is generally the same as that of the slave rebel army in the Manyu army.

The slave rebels were so close to the Carthusian army that they ignored the rich plains of Asia Minor.

Except for the plains of Asia Minor, there are two behemoths of the Lancelot royal family and the Holy Aether Holy See, which cannot be provoked.

The main thing is that as early as a few decades ago, most of the area was completed by the slaves, as long as it is not a natural or man-made disaster, even those who live at the bottom can barely fill their stomachs.

As long as they can eat, who will rebel against them.

When they get there, they are real rogues, and there is no room for them to take root except to plunder and run away.

The Carthusian military lords, with millions of miners, were the paradise they dreamed of.

Starbuck also seems to be telling the world with practical actions that he is not strategically incompetent, and even if he leaves Dicklon, he can be like a fish in water.

However, his reputation began to sneer invisibly, especially among the slave rebels, who had learned of Starbuck's abandonment of them.

No one likes betrayal, and most people hate the betrayer above the enemy.

Starbuck's behavior completely angered the Kingsleys, who were all invaders and enemies in their eyes, regardless of whether the slave rebels were really or fake.

It was impossible for them to abandon the main force of the slave rebel army and go after and intercept the Strabbuck army.

The most correct choice should be to completely eliminate the main force of the slave rebel army, and then quickly return to the division's territory.
