Chapter 459: War Breaks Out
"The empire actually used the troop transport spaceship, it seems that this time the empire has made up its mind to fight a big war with our noble alliance!" After an exclamation, Gao Liquan quickly regained his composure, and said with an ugly look of hatred.
The contradiction between the empire and the aristocratic alliance has been produced for a long time, although there is a contradiction between the two sides, but there is still a huge buffer room, until a few decades ago, the empire rewarded the last enclave to the meritorious minister, and there was no land in the hand that could be used to reward, and the contradiction between the empire and the aristocratic alliance immediately became acute.
The Noble Alliance controlled three-quarters of the land of the Empire, and surrounded the Imperial Domains, so that the Imperial Territories could not expand outward, and could not get more land to reward meritorious ministers, which made the upper echelons of the Empire, especially the Imperial Family, very dissatisfied, and wanted to ask for a part of the land from the Noble Alliance, and let the Noble Alliance make way for the Imperial Army to expand the land outward.
The request of the upper echelons of the empire, especially the imperial family, was resolutely rejected by the noble alliance at the first time, and the noble alliance resolutely did not agree to cede a part of the land to the empire, nor did it agree to give the empire a way to let the imperial army expand the land outward.
The land of the Noble Alliance is all the territory of the members of the Noble Alliance, and they will never sell the interests of their members and damage the interests of their members, so that the Noble Alliance will be dissolved because of the disunity of the people.
You must know that the meaning of the existence of the aristocratic alliance is to safeguard the collective interests of the nobles, today the aristocratic alliance can give up the interests of some minor nobles, then, tomorrow the noble alliance can give up the interests of other minor nobles.
The strength of these small nobles is not strong, but there are many of them, and each big nobleman has a large number of small nobles under his command, if these big nobles ignore the interests of the small nobles, not to mention that other small nobles unite to resist them, even if they are small nobles under their command, they will stand up against them and protect their own interests.
The alliance of nobles was unwilling to give up the benefits it had gained, and the upper echelons of the empire, especially the imperial family, were very dissatisfied, and the contradictions between the two sides became more and more acute, and there were countless small-scale conflicts between the two sides in the border areas for decades.
However, neither the alliance of nobles nor the upper echelons of the empire were prepared for large-scale wars, and they invariably restrained their armies to prevent large-scale conflicts from breaking out.
Decades of continuous skirmishes and decades of war preparations have made the upper echelons of the empire and the alliance of nobles fully prepared for war and ready to start a large-scale war at any time.
Now, the Imperial army is on a troop transport ship and attacking the barony of Gao Liquan. This is a strong signal, a strong war signal, the war between the Noble Alliance and the Empire has begun, a war that has swept the entire Ultron Empire and affected countless human lives has begun.
"Lord Lord, according to the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance cavalry, there are more than 30,000 soldiers in the imperial army, including an elite warrior with a size of two hundred people, we are now defending in the castle and waiting for reinforcements, or do we take the initiative to attack and defeat the imperial army that will attack in the future!" Seeing that Gao Liquan had regained his composure, the castle steward asked softly.
Although Gao Liquan is only a baron, his status in the aristocratic alliance is not low, with a territory area of more than 100,000 square kilometers, which is larger than the territory of some viscounts and even earls, with a population of more than 20 million people and hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, of which the baron's castle has a population of one million and 100,000 elite soldiers.
Because of the strength of Gao Liquan's barony, the castle steward would ask Gao Liquan if he would send troops to take the initiative to meet the imperial army and defeat or even annihilate the imperial army.
"Just wait for reinforcements at the castle defense! This army only has more than 30,000 people, and they dare to attack our barony, they must have some hole cards, otherwise, with their only more than 30,000 soldiers, how dare they attack our barony! ”
Hearing the words of the castle steward, Gao Liquan shook his head lightly and said.
"Yes, my lord!"
As soon as Gao Liquan's voice fell, the castle steward said with a respectful face, and turned around to leave Gao Liquan's study to convey Gao Liquan's order.
After the castle steward left, Gao Liquan's eyes flashed with anger, and he left the book in his hand on the desk, leaving the study, and went straight to a secret room in the castle.
In a secret room deep in the castle, a circular altar with a diameter of five meters is quietly placed there.
As soon as Gao Liquan entered the secret room, he gently pressed a button in the corner of the secret room, and the entire altar slowly moved, and a virtual screen more than one person high shot out from the circular altar and stood quietly in front of Gao Liquan.
About a quarter of an hour later, an old man in a gorgeous robe appeared on the virtual screen, looked at Gao Liquan with a coercive look and said, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Looking at the old man in a gorgeous robe on the virtual screen, Gao Liquan said with a respectful expression: "Dear Alliance Elder, the army of the empire is attacking my barony on a troop transport spaceship, and in more than an hour, it will arrive under my baron's castle, I don't know how I should deal with it?" ”
Hearing Gao Liquan's words, the old man in a gorgeous robe frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Since the upper echelons of the empire have taken the initiative to provoke a war with our nobles to come to the alliance, our noble alliance will definitely not back down, from today onwards, the war between our noble alliance and the empire has officially broken out, and the army of our noble alliance will launch an attack on the territory directly under the empire!" As for your barony, it's best to hold it, and if you can't, retreat on your own, and when our noble alliance wins the war, we will return your territory to you! ”
"Yes, Alliance Leader!"
Hearing the words of the old man in the gorgeous robe, Gao Liquan responded with a respectful expression.
As soon as Gao Liquan's voice fell, the old man in a gorgeous robe nodded lightly and disappeared on the virtual screen.
At the same time, the old man, who was hundreds of thousands of miles away, immediately read out to all the nobles of the Noble Alliance about the Imperial Army's attack on the Barony of Gao Liquan through the communication altar, and officially issued a war order.
With the issuance of the Old Man's War Order, the nobles of the Noble Alliance immediately mobilized, recruited strong men within the territory, formed an army to train the army, and met the large-scale war with the Empire.
The army, which had already been formed and was on standby at the border of the Noble Alliance and the Empire, left the place where it was stationed as soon as possible and launched an attack on the territory directly under the Empire.
Suddenly, I saw a coalition of 30 million nobles, starting from dozens of noble territories, stepping into the direct jurisdiction of the empire, and launching an attack on dozens of cities under the direct jurisdiction of the empire.
And the imperial army, which had already been prepared, was also dispatched at the first time, and launched a fierce battle with the army of the noble alliance in the plain area outside dozens of cities.
Immediately afterwards, one by one, the messengers lit up all over the Ultron Empire, and the news of the fierce battle between the Imperial Army and the Noble Alliance Army spread throughout the Ultron Empire at the first time, and at a rapid speed, it was transmitted to the countries around the Ultron Empire.
After getting the news of the fierce battle between the imperial army and the aristocratic alliance army, the upper echelons of the various provinces of the Ultron Empire were surging and the undercurrents were continuous, while the lower people of the various provinces only let out a few sighs of emotion, and then left them behind, and did whatever they wanted, and the countries around the Ultron Empire celebrated together, and finally did not have to worry about the invasion of the Ultron Empire.
The Ultron Empire is powerful, and as the neighbors of the Ultron Empire, these countries are worried every day, fearing that one day the Ultron Empire's army will invade their country and rob them of their land, property and women.
And the Ultron Empire's number one enemy, the Velt Federation, after hearing the fierce battle between the Ultron Empire's noble alliance and the upper echelons of the empire, first secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and there was no need to worry about the army of the Ultron Empire in a short time, and then there was a burst of excitement, and hurriedly collected military supplies such as weapons, armor, and food, and prepared to make a war fortune in the Ultron Empire.
After all, the Ultron Empire, as the most powerful empire on the mainland, is strong, populous, rich in products, and extremely wealthy. The two major forces in the Ultron Empire, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of soldiers, are fighting fiercely, and the demand for military materials such as weapons, armor, and food will be extremely strong, officially giving them the opportunity to make a fortune as a merchant of the Velt Alliance.
When the outside world reacted in various ways because of the fierce battle between the upper echelons of the Ultron Empire and the noble alliance, Gu Wende took more than 30,000 soldiers of the new army, crossed one village after another, and rushed straight towards the direction of Gao Liquan's baron's castle.
Because of the explanation of their superiors, more than 30,000 soldiers of the new army did not attack the villages they crossed, nor did they hurt the villagers of those villages, but rushed straight towards the baron's castle of Gao Liquan.
More than 30,000 soldiers of the new army, wherever they passed, the people of the barony all retreated, did not dare to step forward to block, and let more than 30,000 new army soldiers go towards the baron's castle.
When more than 30,000 soldiers of the new army arrived at the Baron's Castle under the leadership of Gu Wende, the guards of countless villages had already entered the Baron's Castle, which increased the number of soldiers in the Baron's Castle a lot, and the overall strength was as high as fifteen people.
After several hours of rapid marching, more than 30,000 new army soldiers were also a little tired, Gu Wende did not immediately order an attack on the baron's castle, but gave an order to rest in place for an hour, so that more than 30,000 new troops could rest five miles away from the castle.
