Chapter 519: Military Discussion

Hathaway directly stated her intentions, which made both Karachi and Hammond extremely cautious, and of course they had heard of the feud between the Cordillera and the province of Casf, although the details were not clear, but judging from the current situation, it seemed that there was a real break between the Grand Duke of Casel and the lord.

Neither Karachi nor Hammond wanted to get involved in the struggle within humanity itself.

For them, there is infighting between human beings...... Especially the war related to Hathaway, the three leaders are even happy to see that at least this will alleviate their current pressure to some extent. But Hathaway's decoy made both Karachi and Hammond thrilled...... The food supply that the tribe needs most in three days will be completely lifted, and the quota of various war materials will also be greatly relaxed, which has always been the dream of the three people.

However, in the face of Hathaway's tough attitude, no matter how many days the tribe pleaded, Hathaway never relented, and now Hathaway has offered to make concessions on these two principled issues, how can this not make Karachi and Hammond moved?

Although Karachi and Hammond did not make a clear statement on the spot, Hathaway knew that the two had actually made a choice, since they did not refuse their somewhat outrageous request on the spot, it was obvious that they had realized that they had no capital to refuse, not to mention that they also knew that between themselves and Archduke Casthelf, they had to make a choice, and maintaining neutrality was actually a good announcement to Grand Duke Cassef, and Archduke Casserf's contemptuous attitude towards the Green Elves before he came to Cordillera, It also makes it impossible for them to support each other in Karachi. Although Hathaway feels dangerous to them, compared to the attitude of other Terrans towards the Green Elves, it is already quite good.

Especially the nail of Sivir, once inserted into the tribe for three days, the united front of the three parties collapsed, and Hathaway couldn't help but be proud of her divine stroke.

With the Celestial Bull Tribe, a wedge between the Three Days Tribe, no matter how Karachi and Hammond work together, it is no longer insignificant, and the Celestial Bull Tribe can provide Cordillera with up to four thousand warriors, plus more than five thousand Green Elf warriors in their own hands now. At least a strong army of archers can be organized.

Of course, if the Deer and the Aquila tribe can provide military support. Then it would be much more likely to take the entire Carsif Province in one fell swoop, and now should be the best time to deal with the Carsif Province, and Hathaway didn't want to give up this rare opportunity easily.

As Hathaway expected, Karachi and Hammond quickly gave Hathaway a clear answer. The two tribes were willing to offer a total of four thousand warriors to join Hathaway's command. At the same time, a group of warriors and mages will be dispatched.

In exchange. After Hathaway takes control of the province of Caself, the quota for the import of three-day food will be completely relaxed, and the quota for military supplies such as iron, weapons, and armor will also be increased to more than four times the current quota.

After reaching an agreement on this issue. On behalf of the Tribe of the Three Days, Karachi also formally expressed to Hathaway that he was willing to establish a close economic relationship with the Cordillera, but only on the condition that the Cordillera would not deliberately assimilate and annihilate the traditional customs of the Green Elves with a strong human civilization. As for the extent to which the bilateral relations will develop in the future, the two sides will adopt a system of regular joint meetings to discuss and negotiate the development of bilateral relations in the future.

Hathaway readily agreed to Karachi's request, which indicated that the large tribes of the Green Elves had lowered their arrogant heads, and under the pressure of the Cordillera's economic and political means, the Green Elves, who were already in an absolutely weak position, no longer had the strength to compete with the thriving attraction of civilization from the Terrans.

Now is just the first step, and with this first step, the pace will be faster and faster in the future, when the green elves fully feel the full inclusiveness of human civilization, they will be consciously or unconsciously attracted to human civilization, like moths throwing fire into human civilization and finally integrate into human civilization.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, Hathaway ordered Barthes. Willy transferred all the 5,000 Green Elf warriors he had assembled to the Black Forest in the mountains of Brinia, where he built a training camp.

And the entire three-day tribe also sent warriors according to the agreement, so that a large number of 9,500 green elf troops were formed, and with the addition of 2,000 mortals, half-orcs and half-elves, as many as 13,000 armed forces quietly lurked in the training camp north of Brinia to intensify training, making final preparations for the next battle.

The Yale dock was full of boats from across the blue ocean, and the workers on the dock worked hard to carry down the heavy sacks of linen, and the quartermaster from the Cordillera City Defense carefully counted the densely packed bags, and the ox carts that had been waiting for a long time were arranged in a disorderly manner behind the dock, waiting for the quartermaster to count them and load them out for shipment. No one knew what the goods were, and no one cared where they were going, except for the spies who were secretly watching around the docks.

These are military orders from the other side of the blue ocean, Cordillera's weapons processing is now developing to new weapons and equipment, although these traditional weapons are also in demand, but with their own strength, the speed is too slow, and in order to cover up the news of the skyrocketing military demand, they can only buy from countries on the other side of the blue ocean, and they are also extremely careful when loading and unloading.

The participants of the Cordillera Collaria's fleet were tasked with transporting these military supplies, which was Hathaway's intention to prevent Archduke Casserf from realizing that he was making such frantic military preparations. The equipment on those green elves is simply miserable, and the fact that they can compete with the human army in the south with sophisticated weapons and armor with such inferior equipment is enough to prove the bravery and fierceness of these green elf warriors.

But Hathaway didn't intend to let these brave Green Elf warriors wear such rudimentary armor to face off against the regular Cordillera army, for Hathaway, the first battle may be just the first step, he never intended to bring the warriors of the Three Days Tribe under his command and let them out of his grasp, they will be another trump card in his hands like the orc armament. Not only to help themselves in the battle of the kingdom, but also to help themselves against their compatriots, the big tribes in the Green Elf Alliance, who do not know the times, will one day, they will also prostrate at their feet, and to make them the sharp knives in their hands, it is worth paying a huge price in the early days

The Green Elf warriors never imagined a steady stream of sophisticated armor and high-level weapons from the blue ocean into the Cordillera Collar, one by one wearing their slender but strong bodies, one by one in their hands, and Barth. Willy's training is also becoming more severe for the Green Elf warriors. Physical fitness and combat experience are already available. Even in terms of combat discipline, they were much better than the barbarians and orc soldiers who had just entered the Cordillera's army, and all they needed to solve now was the actual combat formation and mutual coordination.

On the Cordillera Plateau, the training of the soldiers of the city defense force is in full swing, and the green elf warriors who have been stationed at the training ground in the Black Forest are also intensifying. The four Magisters sent by the Three Days Tribe have also arrived in Mandi Gaza City. Plus the power of the mage regiment. It can be said that everything is ready only to owe the east wind.

During this period of time, Cecia. Hughes had been lurking in Vermont, monitoring the movements of Casserf Province at all times. If the Cordillera army wanted to enter Vermont, the fortress of Sriland, located in the south-central part of the province of Cassef, was an unavoidable military stronghold, and it was from this stronghold that the defensive front was organized to prevent the underground coalition from entering the more affluent areas in the southern part of the province of Casif.

Although the war is over, the military value of this fortress has not disappeared, and as the threat of the Cordillera Territory has grown, Archduke Cassef has strengthened its military presence here, so it is also one of the main points of concern for the Cordillera intelligence agency.

"My lord, the news from Yale has confirmed that the Second Fleet of the Empire is now operating in the open sea in that area." Cecia. Hughes reported. "Do you think this could be a coincidence?" Hathaway asked noncommittally.

The Imperial navy fell apart after the death of Fivinette XVIII, with some of the navy remaining neutral and watching the situation develop, while others chose new patrons, Caesar and Dietrich, and the Second Fleet was loyal to Caesar.

"Unlikely, the Imperial Navy rarely operates along the coast of the Cordillera, and there are no supply ports for them."

"What do you think they're here for?" Hathaway asked.

"There is no such thing as a coincidence. Even if it is well disguised, with a little analysis, it can be judged that the purpose of the Second Fleet is most likely to be aimed at the Cordille...... At least to guard against the Cordillera's fleet. "Cecia. Hughes said calmly.

Of course, Hathaway had already thought of this, but she was not worried about what would happen to the Second Fleet, but about whether the alliance between Caesar and Archduke Casserf would bring about any new variables, and Hathaway did not want to cause irreparable disasters because of her negligence.

"Has anything changed in the province of Bukharin?" Hathaway thought for a moment before asking.

"I haven't noticed anything unusual yet, but the contact between several of the high lords in the south and Vermont City has increased significantly during this time, especially the Elabera family...... "Cecia. Hughes didn't miss the slightest suspicion.

"Oh? So have there been any adjustments to their army? Hathaway frowned, which was not a good sign.

"Not yet, but my subordinates think it's because the time is too short. As soon as our army appears on the land of the province of Kasef, I am afraid that it will cause a chain reaction, and the Grand Duke of Kasef will probably have to ask for help from other lords. "Cecia. Hughes then said.

Hathaway fell into deep thought, now that the central power of the empire exists in name only, it has completely lost the power to balance the great nobles and lords, Caesar and Dietrich have set up their own mountains,-for-tat, and the lords and nobles have also begun to connect with each other, and their purpose is not clear...... They also hope that the chaotic situation of the empire will drag on, in fact, they also hope that the longer this drags on, the better, and the centripetal force of the empire will be lost more as a result, as long as this situation continues for a few years, the prestige of the royal family among the people will be completely lost, and it can only be replaced by the major lords, although they may not be able to unify the empire, but they can completely establish their own principalities.

Caesar or Dietrich are just a collaborator for Hathaway, a collaborator who can be abandoned at any time for the sake of profit, and allies without strength can only be in this awkward position.

Now, both Caesar and Dietrich want to try to get out of this situation, but their strength and status dictate that these actions are in vain.

However, this chaotic situation is a good opportunity for himself, Kasef has already suffered heavy losses in the last expedition against him, especially the loss of the strength of the mage group is so that Grand Duke Kasef can not rebuild this force in a short period of time, while he has the support of the Three Days Tribe and other green elf tribes that are loyal to him, plus the support of the barbarians and abyssal elves, this is an extremely rare opportunity, and the decisive battle is here.

But at this time, Caesar once again joined in the fun, sent the Second Fleet out to make trouble, hooked up with the Grand Duke of Casev, and the Elabella family was also involved, if he sent troops to attack the province of Casev, the army of the province of Bukhalin sent reinforcements, and the original absolute certainty of the First World War may have subtle changes, maybe the armies of several other great lords will join this battle.

The more Hathaway thought about it, the more awe-inspiring her heart became, and at the same time, a faint pride swelled up...... Once upon a time, the Cordillera was a sparsely populated barren land, but in its own hands, it became a place of thriving population, multi-ethnic harmony, economic development, and now it is the object of jealousy of the great lords who have a long family history!

"Cecia, what do you think are the chances of the other High Lords joining forces with Grand Duke Cassef?" Hathaway asked for a long time before she suddenly asked.

"It all depends on the timing. My lord, if we can defeat Homer in one fell swoop in a very short time, such as taking Fort Sriland, Vermont City...... Or even the entire province of Kasef, the other three lords may reconsider whether the cost of joining the battle and the odds of success are worth the risk.

From what I know of them, these people are typical aristocrats whose personal interests are above all else. Most of the time they will manifest themselves through verbal threats, and once we are in a stalemate with Grand Duke Casef, there is a high probability that they will join the war, and we may be unable to stop. ”

Although Cecia. Hughes is not a military officer, but she has been familiar with it in recent years, and she has some insight in this area, and she does not draw conclusions in accurate language...... Cecia. Hughes knew that the Cordillera's military composition was complex, and she couldn't guess what it would become, so she could only make vague inferences based on what she knew about it.

"Well, you mean that if we throw all our heart into defeating Grand Duke Casif with one blow, then we have a chance to avoid fighting with the other lords?" Hathaway asked thoughtfully. (To be continued......)
