Chapter 599: Its Secret (9)

Of course, the kingdom of Neiva is surrounded by iron walls or cliffs, and no country has developed in that kind of place since ancient times.

But around the kingdom, there is indeed little soil that can allow a large army to stand up.

Not to mention the harsh conditions in the mountains, the Kingdom Army, which is not suitable for marching and fights with savages all year round, is definitely better at fighting in the mountains than any elite army!

If the Empire were to use that as a breakthrough, all that awaited them would be endless bloodshed.

On the sea, it was originally a good breakthrough, but now the navy of the empire that is not directly under the royal family has been defeated, although it is far less than the elite of the army, but it is indeed nearly half of the water armed forces of the empire.

Since most of the empire is land, and it only has some borders with Sihai, the empire attaches far less importance to the navy than the federation.

Now, the Federation has formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Neiva, and although it has not directly declared war on the Empire, it is also uncertain, and God knows who the weapons of the Federation Navy will be aimed at when the Empire is once again in the navy.

Kun has also repeatedly proven his strength, as long as it is a naval battle, even in the face of the most elite fleet, the enemy will taste the bitter fruit of defeat.

As for the former Ice and Snow Kingdom, there may be many adventurers who will set foot on it, but no army has ever landed on it!

And in that direction, it is just across the Neva Kingdom from the Empire.

Strategically, the huge empire is no longer able to form an encirclement of this small kingdom!

If you can win head-to-head battles, then none of this is a problem. The problem is that it is not possible to fight head-on now, which leads to this shortcoming, which immediately becomes a big problem and makes some people sigh!

Failure! Failure!

After failing again and again, except for those in charge of the empire who knew about it, they could still sit firmly in Diaoyutai, and the rest of the imperial magnates were all frightened.

Even if the other party has the help of several wizards, the Greenland Empire is not without experience in war with wizards, so it will not be defeated by devastation.

Although the empire did not dispatch the most powerful troops this time, such as the Protector Army, such as the Holy Knights, such as the Starfire Avengers, and did not mobilize any large regular army corps, it was not necessary in the first place!

Those troops were originally soldiers of the town, and their status was similar to that of the protector mages of ordinary kingdoms, how could they be easily dispatched when they were not gambling on the fortunes of the country!

Moreover, the strength of the empire lies in all aspects, even if it is just the regular army of the empire, or even the elite soldiers of ordinary nobles, if it is put into an ordinary country, it is definitely an ace!

With a coalition army of more than 10,000 aces, it can be defeated against an enemy of less than 5,000?

Unthinkable, unbelievable!

The help of the wizard is an important reason why the other party is strong, but this is definitely not the main reason.

The sophisticated equipment of the opposing troops, as well as the unimaginable fighting spirit, are what really make some nobles feel fearful!

Wizards are limited, mortals are unlimited!

Relying only on a few wizards, unless it is the kind of legendary near-god person, it is impossible to let many cities fall. It is the army of mortals that can make the city fall and be occupied by the other party!

Perhaps, with the breadth of the empire, the heritage of the Greenland royal family, the small kingdom of Neiva, it is impossible to defeat the royal family of the Greenland Empire, or make the territory of the empire a part of the kingdom.

However, ordinary small and medium-sized nobles do not have this kind of confidence.

Especially in the southwest of the empire, the nobles in the lands bordering the Kingdom of Neiva and Sihai are already frightened birds and are deeply disturbed!

This kind of thing, how can it not make people anxious.

A big defeat is enough to bring local turmoil.

In the Greenland Empire, there are only two Grand Dukes, one in the south and one in the north, and the Grand Duke of Thor is the one who carries the crown in the south of the empire.

When he was defeated, many nobles should have expected this outcome, but they refused to believe it, and thought that it was the Archduke Thor who underestimated the enemy, and even some of the imperial high-ranking people who did not want to see the Archduke Thor getting stronger and stronger, dragging their feet, which led to the defeat of the war.

They also want to rely on each other's union, rely on their own elite soldiers, and beat the hillbillies of the Neiva Kingdom back, and by the way, let the royal family see the strength of the nobles after they are united!

It wasn't until countless efforts were wasted that these people began to sober up, began to face the enemy, and began to ask for help from the upper echelons.

However, they never thought that they had already fought to this extent, and those people in the upper echelons of the empire, the imperial family was still willing to use their mouths, and did not take the initiative to attack at all! Why is this?

Judging by the current state of the war, by the general level of the enemy. If the royal family is serious, let alone sending several ace legions, even if it is a random transfer of several major army corps directly under the empire, the result will definitely not be like this.

The Kingdom of Neiva defeated an imperial army that seemed to have nearly 20,000 troops, as if it had defeated the empire, but in fact, these 20,000 imperial troops were all private soldiers of the imperial nobles, as well as some local armies, as well as the Maritime Self-Defense Force, which was not very strong!

But at this time, why is the royal family still condemning and waiting?

What the hell happened to them?

On the surface, they are righteous and righteous, they take a clear-cut stand, and they call for and encourage foreign wars, but in fact there is no substantive action at all!

That's the big problem!

However, it seems that many people do not see this.

Perhaps after two hundred years of peace since the Snow Queen, most of the nobles of the empire have also begun to decay and lose their vigilance and sensitivity.

The city of Thor, the heart of the territory of the Grand Duke of Thor, the border army of the Kingdom of Three Thousand Naiva has occupied this place, and together with the troops in the rear, they have begun to sweep up the imperial noble territory sandwiched in the middle!

This is naked aggression, naked provocation, naked declaration of war!

The body of the Grand Duke of Thor had been hanging at the city gate for three whole days, and his last roar seemed to still echo in the ears of some locals.

He's just dead, and he won't be able to see it!

Wars between nobles, unless there is a great deal of hatred, are rarely destroyed, and this is an unspoken rule.

If the Neva Kingdom only defeated the Grand Duke of Thor and defeated the many small and medium-sized nobles who were united under the banner of the Grand Duke, and used this as an excuse to blackmail, and even plundered the territories of these nobles to a limited extent, then the upper echelons of the empire, the royal family of the empire, and the slightest possibility would not do anything to the small Neva Kingdom.

But now, they defeated every nobleman who tried to attack the kingdom's army, and even captured them alive and hanged them in public.

They sent troops to occupy every piece of land they attacked!

What does this mean? It's not a war, it's a war!

The game of nobility and nobility, perhaps slowed down the reaction of the royal family.

Until the city of Thor became the new border city of the Neva Kingdom, the royal family of the Greenland Empire didn't seem to have reacted!

But at this time, in addition to those soldiers who fell into madness, even some sober-minded generals, most of the high-ranking people in the kingdom, had already discovered the problem!

Some speculate that it was the royal family of the Greenland Empire that was in trouble and could not spare their hands and feet. Some speculate that the Empire has a new plot to overthrow the kingdom completely.

But these speculations can't change any of the decisions of Serendil VI!

A large number of peasants were armed, and with a little training, they were sent to various places, becoming the most basic military force units in the kingdom's internal territory.

The second- and third-line troops, which were originally guarding towns and patrolling villages, were transferred to the border one after another.

And the kingdom's original more than 10,000 regular troops, the strong army guarding the border, except for some of the disabled who were sent to the rear, most of them were performing the most dangerous tasks in the newly attacked territories!

In the entire Neiva Kingdom, in addition to the vicinity of the royal capital, you can still see the figures of powerful knights and warriors, and most of the rest of the territory, the garrison strength is weaker than one or two levels!

It's a determination, but it also exposes the weakest side of the Kingdom.

The kingdom of Neiva is too small, and the country is weak and weak.

The power of the whole country can rely on miraculous victories again and again to lay a large amount of territory, but it is not so easy to completely occupy it.

If all the people under his rule are hostile, if all the surrounding feudal towns are strong, if there is a behemoth in front of them, then how can such a territory be defended? Even if it is defended, what is the use?

If it weren't for the real rulers of the Greenland Empire, who were indifferent to the invasion of the Kingdom of Neiva for some reason, if it weren't for the fact that the warriors of the kingdom had a blind worship of Arthur, a series of victories would have made them start to look at everything.

I'm afraid that they have long been unwilling to continue the war in a foreign land, and this battle will not be able to be fought for a long time.

Anyone who is sober can see that the defeat of the Kingdom of Neiva is only a matter of time. Miracles can happen once, twice, three times, but miracles don't happen forever. Even if the Kingdom of Neiva wins many times, unless people have seen through the nature of the miracle, no one will believe that the Kingdom of Neiva can win the final victory until the competition between the two sides is completely reversed.

The Greenland Empire may only need to win once, while the Kingdom of Neiva needs to win countless times!

But if a miracle happens ten or twenty times, is it still a miracle?

"Arthur, stop!"

On the shore of the Sihai Sea, a powerful spellcaster floated in mid-air, looking coldly at the young wizard who was a little excessive!

This young wizard went from a commoner to the lord of a country, from an ordinary rich country man to a thorn in the side of the empire, in just under two years!

"Stop?"

Arthur looked at the same young man in mid-air with some amusement, judging whether he was Lynch's pawn.

Ever since he pushed himself to the cusp of the storm, Ling Qi knew that Lynch's attention to him had definitely improved by countless levels!

In this case, any spellcaster who seems to have a clear origin could be a pawn of Lynch.
