There was nothing to hide about the Cordillera's large-scale recruitment, but no one expected Hathaway to be so fast, recruiting in less than a month, and training was even shorter—the Terran soldiers, because they had a well-established reserve, only had to integrate the backbone of the farm self-defense force into the army, and then teach the regimental combat skills; The training of the Barbarian and Green Elf troops is also quite smooth, their individual soldier quality is obviously better than that of the Terrans, but when they are engaged in corps combat, their training progress slows down slightly, but their obedience to orders is definitely higher than that of the Terran army.

In the new round of army reorganization, the Cordillera City Defense Army is mainly divided into five corps - the Green Forest Corps, the Rock Corps, the Blue Sea Corps, the Flame Corps, and the Garrison Corps.

The first three were field regiments, while the last were mainly garrisons for Cordillera and Casseff, mainly stationed at Gettysburg Fortress. And the city defense armies of major cities are basically attached to the garrison corps.

In addition to this, the Cordillera City Defense Force has several independent military units, such as the Special Operations Brigade, Flying Squadron, Scout Squadron, Magic Unit, Knights, etc.

"The unit's training work is still very successful."

Hathaway put down the report in satisfaction and looked at Barthes. Willy: "Barth, what do you think of Jobs?" ”

"Frankly speaking, the newly formed knights are a few points worse than the original knights in terms of combat effectiveness, this is mainly the accumulation of combat experience, and there is no other way than to fight. However, Captain Jobs' prestige in the Knights of Cassef is quite good, and he is fully qualified for important positions. "Barthes. Willie complimented from the bottom of his heart.

"What about the Green Forest Corps and the Rock Corps?"

"Just as satisfying, morale is high, well-equipped, well-trained, they say, the smell of the enemy's corpses is pleasant, and I think they are looking forward to a war."

Able to make the always modest Barthes. Willie's assessment of his army must have been quite satisfying to him.

"What about the Flame Corps and the Blue Sea Corps?"

"Well, not impressive...... But I think war is the best training for them to grow. "Barthes. Willy nodded resolutely.

"Huh. Antonio, are our Combined Mages ready? ”

"As you wish, my lord." The old elf raised his gray beard slightly, looking very proud.

"Your Excellency. Where are we aiming for? "Barthes. Willie asked with some urgency.

Hathaway's magic wand moved over the sandbox, and finally settled on the name of Yolan.

"Barth, let's start here, how about it? Yolan, a good name. It's North Carolina's most important cotton producer, and I love it here. ”

Hathaway's slightly teasing words aroused Barthes. Willie and Petro. Hughes laughed, "Your Lord, we all know that you are interested in any land that is about to belong to you. ”

The generals who gathered around Hathaway were all smiling, the war was undoubtedly the best way for them to test the results of their training, and the lord had already declared that he would not spare military merits and rewards for those who performed well in the war, which was for the officers. It's a great temptation.

Although the military mobilization of Cordillera Cassef was quite low-key, it was obviously impossible for it to escape the attention of its neighbours. Large-scale military movements were impossible to keep secret in this era, especially the presence of large numbers of barbarian warriors and orc warriors in the lands of Kasef, an obvious attempt that even the common people could feel, and it seemed that the lord was about to prove her rights by war again.

The commander of the Green Forest Corps is still led by Barthes. Willie is concurrently in charge, and in the current situation, no one among Hathaway's subordinates can replace Barthes. Willie's position can sit in this position, as the deputy corps commander is Ming Yang, who used to be in Hathaway's personal guard, and he is also a green elf. Able to be recognized by most Green Elf warriors.

Thanks to Barthes. Willie is a part-time officer, so Ming Yang actually replaces Barthes to a large extent. Willy's specific command role, and the Green Elves, who had excelled in the previous battle, had not yet won Comer's approval, especially since the composition of such an army was somewhat complex. Seniority is still very important to them, and it is an important condition for earning the respect and trust of the soldiers.

Tommy. Cooper has officially become the commander of the Rock Corps, from Mimosa Manor to Heidelberg, and from Heidelberg back to Cordillera, he has successfully completed the role transformation from an ordinary horseman, and he is already a well-deserved Golden Knight at this time. And his loyalty to Hathaway ensured that he was the absolute leader of the team.

Al. It was no surprise that Verkins became the first commander of the Blue Ocean Corps, and although the strength of the army seemed to be somewhat inferior to that of the Green Forest Corps and the Rock Corps in terms of quantity and quality, the steely discipline ensured that this army would appear on the battlefield with one voice and one pace.

The commander of the Flame Corps was unexpectedly a barbarian, this team grew quickly, but as a newly formed army, this army needed several decent wars to sharpen, Denison, as an outstanding warrior who emerged from this army, not only conquered the hearts of all the warriors with his superb martial arts, but also his rather rigorous and pragmatic style also made Barthes. Willy was quite optimistic about him, and he was the only example of a high-ranking officer who had been promoted to corps commander without Hathaway's familiarity.

"Cecia, what's the reaction from the Bukharin-Voivode?"

"Your Excellency, the Bukhalin Provincial side reacted very quickly, they already knew about it on the fourth day of our war mobilization, and soon began to mobilize for war, in fact, I judge that even if we did not carry out war mobilization, they will still strike first, just look at the performance of the two sides in the north, you can know that their cooperation is still quite tacit, now the number of garrisons in the border areas of Bukhalin Province has gradually increased, and the vacation of the Warhammer Knights has been completely canceled and entered a state of combat readiness, The Wizards have also entered a wartime state. ”

Anytime Cecia. Hughes was always just right where Hathaway needed to be, and her graceful temperament and thoughtful intelligence information made even officers who had always been above the top admit that she was indeed very good at intelligence gathering.

"It seems that our reconciliation methods have not done much, and Ellabani has made up his mind to get involved." Hathaway seemed calm, and all this was expected, and if the province of Bukharan did not react, then it was really time for Erabeni to perish.

"It's all in your hands, and there's nothing to worry about, as long as we can fix North Carlo within the planned timeframe. Archduke Erabeni will behave like he did last time in Kasef, anticlimactic, gray and sleek with his tail between his legs. "Barthes. Willie was confident.

"No, Barth. The situation is not exactly the same, the Grand Duke of Erabeni in the Battle of Casev was so convinced of the power of the Grand Duke of Cashelf that they were a little slower to react, and the previous experience showed that the Grand Duke of Erabeni would not make the same mistake. As long as we start to act in the north. They will surely pounce to the east, the situation in the Kasef region is not very stable, we must keep the enemy out of the country, otherwise let them come in, and the remnants of the forces that are secretly dormant in support of the Grand Duke of Kasef will take advantage of the opportunity to raise their heads. ”

Hathaway shook her head, disagreeing with Barthes. Willy's opinion, "The pressure on the eastern front will be very high, and the key is that our army will withstand the repeated onslaught of the Bukharin's army, and Erabeni will definitely send their strongest attacking force, and their mage and knight order will most likely unite to deliver a fatal blow this time." ”

"Antonio. You should know very well the strength of the Bukharin Wizards, this burden is not light,"

Hathaway smiled faintly: "This will be a major test for our mage group, after the battle of Casseph, our mage group will usher in a real test, what do you think?" ”

"The strength of the Bukharin's mage regiment is not to be feared, and in addition, on the battlefield in the northwest, our mage regiment's strength still has to be withdrawn to take a part of it, although the strength of the North Carlo mage regiment is not to be feared, but if we do not have the corresponding countervailing strength. The same will cause considerable damage to our army. ”

Antonio's words were rather cautious, fighting on two fronts was taboo for either side, but now that the situation had come to this point, the only way to crush the Rochester family in North Carol before the Bukharin's army entered Kasef was the only way.

"No, you don't. It's time for the magic troops to shine their fangs, take the port of Madanton in one day, and rush to Yolan in half a day...... Three days, I'm going to take Yulan in three days! Hathaway said in a deep voice.

……

The Port of Madanton is a medium-sized port city in North Carolina on the Buchar River, and its strategic location is both important and not particularly important.

Considering the extreme depth of the water in the Madanton River basin, even the capital ships of the Cordillera Navy can be unimpeded. It was impossible for the North Carolina Army not to garrison its troops, but because Madanton was not very convenient on the shore, Joshua would not have many troops.

Due to the possibility of war at any time, the few residents of Madanton have taken refuge in the nearby mountains, and the security of Madanton and the port of Madanton under the jurisdiction of North Carolina is quite good, and there are basically no violent rebellions and attacks elsewhere.

While the Cordillera Casseff was mobilizing for the army, Joshua's officers were scrambling to draw troops from all over the country to defend Yolan, and by the way, the troops in the port of Madanton were withdrawn.

Originally, for a port of certain strategic value such as the port of Madanton, the withdrawal of garrison troops required the destruction of all the facilities in the port. However, Joshua was reluctant to destroy the port that he had built for many years, and the proposal was shelved, and Baron Shuofeng, the temporary supreme military commander of the Toray garrison in the port of Madanton, patted his chest and assured His Royal Highness that Mardanton would not be allowed to fail.

Baron Shuofeng once led his family's armed forces to participate in the Northwest Campaign. There is a lot of research on rioting and harassment. What's more, the prosperity of a family also requires a solid material foundation. Among the northwestern provinces, the port of Madanton is not a wealthy place, but compared with other places, I don't know how much stronger.

In the eyes of Baron Storm, the port of Mardanton was simply full of gold, waiting for him to dig it.

Under the pretext that a soldier is missing, Baron Stormy conducts a manhunt for Madanton, which is actually a great ransacking. Unsurprisingly, Baron Shuofeng's income was so good that he smiled.

Unexpectedly, the North Carolina Army's manhunt was met with fierce resistance, killing and wounding dozens of people. Baron Shuofeng's immediate response was to commit more troops. Conduct larger, longer-term search operations.

While reaping the richer harvest, Baron Stormwind suddenly discovers that there is an extraordinary undercurrent surging beneath the surface of the Port of Madanton. It seems that there are quite a few small and medium-sized nobles who have gathered their private armies in Madanton and planned a big operation.

Stepping up the pursuit of these small and medium-sized nobles, Baron Shuofeng exaggerated the seriousness of the situation tenfold and reported it to His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Youlan City. Baron Shuofeng's original intention was just to take this opportunity to leave the port of Mardanton and run away with the oil and water in hand.

At this moment, however, Grand Duke Joshua had learned from some top-secret sources that the Cordillera army could cross the border at any moment. As a precaution, Baron Storme was ordered not to leave the port of Mardanton without permission, and scouts were sent twice a day to reconnoiter the movements of the Cordillera army.

In this way, Baron Shuofeng, who has more than 1,000 troops in his hands, is more than enough to maintain the law and order of Madanton. And once there is any emergency, as long as he holds on for a while, he can wait for reinforcements.

Baron Shuofeng was mistaken for being clever, and now he and his subordinates can only live and die with Madanton.

Baron Shuofeng, who was full of resentment, vented his emotions on the local residents, and he not only strengthened the search in Madanton, but also personally led a search team to search outside Madanton.

As a result, Baron Shuofeng accidentally caught a big fish...... Rowell, a secret agent of the Cordillera Intelligence Agency, was tasked with plotting a rebellion and contacting the local noble private army, but because of his lack of combat experience, he did not guard against the surprise attack of the North Carolina Army, and was caught by a search party led by Baron Speedwind.

Although Lowell committed suicide by hitting a wall on the night of his first night back to Mardanton, Baron Stormy saw the value of capturing the land with difficulty, kept the news tightly sealed, and was ready to deal with the crisis.

Hearing that Lowell had been arrested, the Sith Chief, who was in charge of intelligence work in the Northwest Territories. Carl was shocked. All the operational arrangements for the seizure of the port of Mardanton Rowell had in his stomach that if he could not bear the torture, then ......

Sith. It was obviously impossible for Karl to put the risk of success or failure on Rowell's ability to survive, and the only way to do so was to immediately activate the battle plan to seize the port of Mardanton. (To be continued.) )
