Chapter 129: Dispatch of Troops
Cardinal Obarkh and others developed a perfect version of the "crowd tactics".
From the middle of January in the winter year, even though the weather gradually became cold, and the rain and snow were not suitable for mobilizing troops and horses, under the orders of the oracle of the Supreme God of Light and the strict implementation of the bishops of various countries, the requisition of various resources was carried out in an orderly manner.
With a huge manpower advantage, a large amount of grain, grass, weapons, armor, materials, and war horses have been continuously gathered in Bachirut and other Bright Holy Kingdoms close to the Kingdom of Adud.
Among them, more than one million stones of grain and grass, more than 500,000 pieces of weapons, more than 100,000 sets of armor, war horses, cattle and other materials are transported every month.
In addition, countless regular soldiers who have undergone rigorous training, second-class soldiers who have undergone short-term training, and countless strong men who have voluntarily or voluntarily joined the Legion of Light, are all marching into the Holy Kingdom of Light, which is closer to the Kingdom of Adude.
Taking the base camp of Bachirut Bright Holy Country as an example, in just three months from January to April, more than 1.5 million soldiers poured into the holy country.
Coupled with the 50 armies already stationed in the Baluchite Bright Saint Country, the total number of troops reached as many as 2 million...... This is equivalent to one-tenth of the country's total population.
Out of the army of two million:
The number of Saint Mages of the Bright Saint Legion is 20,000, of which 5,000 are above the Sixth-Order Saint Mage (equivalent to a high-level magician), and there are more than 1,000 eighth-order Saint Mages (equivalent to a Legendary Mage).
However, most of the Holy Mages of the Holy See of Light are healing mages who provide medical services, and they are very proficient in the study of healing magic on a daily basis, so their strength is not very strong in terms of combat methods.
Generally speaking, an eighth-order holy mage whose rank is equivalent to a legendary mage, and his actual combat power may be similar to that of a great mage, and he may even be suppressed by a great mage.
But as a battlefield support, the holy mage who plays the role of a wet nurse, as long as there is a legion on a certain side, that legion is equivalent to a guarantee.
Coverage that is not prone to death.
Even if it is hit hard, a healing magic will go down and immediately come alive.
So the crowd tactics are paired with healing mages...... Invincible, this is really invincible.
In addition, in the Holy See of Light, there is not a trump card force with strong attack power.
Paladin.
Paladins wrapped in full body armor, riding heavy mounts, with very strong individual strength, and strict discipline to be able to charge in groups, can be said to be a change of color.
Terror.
The combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying.
If you want to make a quantitative comparison, compared to the average strength of the Kingdom Knights, the Holy Knights are the top existence among the knights.
In layman's terms, a paladin can defeat three elite knights of any kingdom.
Ten paladins who can defeat 100 elite knights of any kingdom.
One hundred paladins can defeat 2000.
A thousand paladins can defeat an ordinary knight order of 20,000 people.
If the number of paladins reaches 10,000, it can be described as "invincible", basically sweeping that kingdom if you want to sweep that kingdom, and annihilating any opponent you want!
This is the so-called "invincible".
Of course, there may be an exaggeration in this, but the combat effectiveness of the paladins is beyond doubt.
So how many Holy Knights gathered in the Holy Land of Light in Bachirut are approximately?
Thirty thousand.
That's 30,000!
A suffocating number.
In front of these 30,000 paladins, the other 1.9 million miscellaneous troops seem to be negligible and ignored.
On the review stand, looking at the paladin legion of more than 30,000 people, Cardinal Obalkh, Holy Mage Yuris, Battlefield Commander Hilbert and others were full of pride and confidence in their hearts.
Looking at the hunting array below, Cardinal Obarch said with an intoxicated expression: "What a powerful legion, what a loyal and brave knight, in front of such a legion, what other force can stop him?"
"Yes, how rare the paladins are, the resources of a Bright Holy Kingdom can only cultivate a hundred or so at most, and the 30,000 people here, at least two hundred Holy Realms of Light have drawn out all the paladins and gathered here. ”
"20,000 holy mages, 30,000 paladins, 50,000 high-end powers, all driven by us, and the high-end power in our hands before, with one-tenth of this number is very good, in the face of the godless alliance pulled up by the Adud Kingdom, we are often at a disadvantage, and now we have ten times the strength, just the Addud Kingdom, what are we afraid of?"
"These 50,000 people are enough, and the other 1.9 million people are just allowed to do some odd jobs to carry supplies, and they are actually of little use. ”
"Don't underestimate the kingdom of Addud!"
Hilbert said with a serious face: "Although we have 50,000 invincible elites, the number of miscellaneous soldiers and strong men must not be small!
"The firearms of the Addud Kingdom must not be underestimated! Anyone who underestimates them will suffer a big loss!"
Hilbert's expression was extremely solemn, how could he, who had witnessed the power of firearms many times, make the mistake of underestimating the enemy again.
"Yes!"
The other generals and commanders all nodded and said nothing.
Of course, there are also some generals who have not seen the power of firearms, and their mouths are open, wanting to mock and refute, how can firearms be so powerful?
A small kingdom of Adud is worth the siege of tens of millions of Legions of Light?
This part of the people was a little contemptuous and disdainful in their hearts, but after seeing the solemnity on the face of the supreme commander Hilbert, and Cardinal Obarkh and many big people nodding in agreement, they held back the doubts in their hearts.
After all, if the kingdom of Addudes was really that easy to deal with, how could the God of Light personally issue an oracle ordering hundreds of holy kingdoms to deal with it together?
And this time, more than 50,000 top-level troops and nearly 2 million miscellaneous soldiers are only a small part of the forces used to destroy the Aduid Kingdom, and in the next time, there will be even more huge armies gathered here to join the war to destroy the Aduid Kingdom!
Such a huge force.
Everyone was confident.
"Hmph, damn Adudus, damned apostates, kneel! beg for mercy! Wait for death or resist desperately! It's useless, whatever you do is useless, whatever you do is in vain!"
"If you dare to rebel against God, go to hell all of you!"
"Victory must belong to the great and supreme god of light!"
During the parade, Cardinal Archbishop Obarkh yelled feverishly.
