The total annihilation of the Knights of Molaika would also plunge the country into great turmoil, and the consequences of their losses would be even more serious than the losses of 8,000 light cavalry - not because of how strong their fighting power was, but because the influence behind them could affect the course of the entire military operation.

The dignitaries of the country will never tolerate their children becoming captives of the Cordillera army without fighting back, and the Otigars will never let go so easily, they may even fight back with ferocious force, and may not even leave themselves a chance to breathe.

Maev's guess was right, when he just had time to retreat a hundred miles away and retreat back to Maple Dew City, the scouts found the forward force of the Cordillera Army thirty miles away, the Knights of Pierceburg, although they have not yet seen the follow-up corps, but since the Knights of Pierce have appeared, presumably they will not be hiding for long, for the Moreka army stationed in Maple Dew City, this is undoubtedly a dilemma.

The fighting on the northern front was just as depressing, and Maev's ominous predictions, almost without exception, made him feel even more gloomy.

Although he also has a strong cavalry force as a secondary attack force, he faces the unusually shrewd and spicy Barthes. Willy and the Moreca still haven't found a suitable solution, and the Cordillera army not only relies on their strong infantry force to press forward step by step, but the heavy knight forces also attack frequently, forcing the Moreca army on the northern front to fight two battles when the situation is not suitable.

The Cordillera Army's formidable mage power, as well as the outstanding Terradosaurus, Komodo Behemoths, and Flying Knights. The cavalry strength of the Moldeca people has suffered enough, especially the new magic weapons equipped by the Cordillera army, even the strong and heavy armored cavalry are also killed all over the field in front of these magic weapons like chopping melons and vegetables, and the fire magic array released by the magicians of the Cordillera army has also made the infantry battle array pay an unimaginable price, and the balance of war has undoubtedly tilted towards the side of the Otiga.

By now, the war had lost its value and necessity to continue, and continuing it would only make the blood of the Moleka people bleed more. However, the main army in the center led by Fred was still entangled with a detachment of the Cordillera army in Mandalay, and even suffered heavy losses...... Maev couldn't imagine how those guys could be dragged away by a detachment, it sounded like a fantasy.

Fortunately, Sir Miaran seemed to have woken up from the chaos just now, and was unusually calm and rational on the question of whether to withdraw his troops or continue to fight. In addition to the fact that a messenger has been sent back to report to His Majesty the Emperor on the current difficulties encountered and the next steps. It was on his own initiative that he sent an envoy to negotiate with the Ostiga, which was a bit of an abuse of power, but it was a wise move to do so.

……

Fort Pierce.

"Well done! I'm going to honor Cooper and Courtney. Hathaway put down the battle report with an excited look on her face. She seemed to feel unable to express her excitement as she sat there. And he stood up. Constantly walking back and forth on the soft carpet in the study.

"Lord Lord, the envoys from the Odin Kingdom have officially requested an alliance, perhaps the war in the Maple Dew region has stimulated them."

Petro. A flash of disdain flashed in Hughes's eyes. "These Odins are really good at picking up bargains, and when they see the situation turning, they immediately become enthusiastic. Your Excellency, Your Royal Highness the Prince is knowledgeable and cultivated, and his appearance is handsome, although he is a little arrogant, he is also ordinary, why not ......"

Hathaway immediately frowned, "Petro! ”

"Well, I'm sorry, my lord, but I'm looking at it from the perspective of maximizing profits." Petro. Hughes apologized awkwardly.

"He's good, but he can't stay with me forever." Hathaway sighed softly.

"But your business will have to be inherited by someone after all." Petro. Hughes hesitated, but said what he had to say.

"Of course, there will be people who will inherit, but I have another opinion." Hathaway's tone was already a little impatient, and now the trouble was that the other party wanted to use the marriage with Prince Max as an important condition of the alliance, and this was exactly what Hathaway was most reluctant to.

"Lord Lord, if you are really embarrassed, you might as well make some concessions on some other conditions, the Kingdom of Odin ultimately values the power in your hands. If we can compensate for some support, I think they won't dwell too much on the issue of Prince Max. ”

"If the Odin really want to be close allies with us Odica, it seems that there should be further performance, and they should have a strong means to prove their sincerity." Hathaway deliberately diverted the subject.

"Humph! Lord Lord, Angelo doesn't have that kind of courage yet, but his level of giving birth to a son is still good. At best, he was just a keeper...... If you evaluate it accurately, he is not even a qualified defender, just look at his performance when Odega was killed, he has not even figured out the truth of his death and teeth. If both the Church of Nature and the people of Moreka suddenly became interested in the Kingdom of Odin, it is hard to say that he would not have taken the initiative to dedicate the crown on his head......"

Petro. Hughes spoke bluntly and harshly, especially in describing Angelo's psyche, but Hathaway didn't think there was anything - it was meant to be, but it was difficult for many to accept it without embellishment, and she definitely didn't belong to one of those people.

"Just because he doesn't have that kind of courage doesn't mean he doesn't have that kind of insight, and in this regard, I think everyone in a position is the same. We have dealt a heavy blow to the Moreka man, and I believe he should be able to see the course of the battle with Maple Dew, and I need to warn him that if he does not make some forceful moves, I am afraid that in the future, we will be much more likely to stand by and watch in the evolutionary crisis with the Moreka Empire. And if he can be more resolute in this war, then we will give it selfless help and support in the territorial dispute between the Kingdom of Odin and its eastern neighbor. ”

"Hehe, my lord, you are blatantly declaring war on the Moreka Empire...... Agitating the kingdom of Odin to make territorial claims to its eastern neighbors? Angelo has so much guts and ambition? I'm skeptical. "Petro. Hughes shook his head in question.

"Hmph, the Odin people have been entangled with their neighbors in the territory, but they don't dare to raise objections under the strong bullet pressure of the Molaika people, once the Molaika Empire, which was originally a towering giant in the minds of the Odin, collapses? What do you think Angelo and his ministers think? Even the backers behind those fellows can tremble under our soldiers, so why should the Odin be afraid of their neighbors? ”

Hathaway leaned her hands on the table and said with a smile. "Once the seeds of greed are planted. Given the right amount of water and fertilizer, it will overturn and press on any rock on top of your head, especially if it looks like a pile of broken dirt. ”

Petro. Hughes nodded appreciatively, Lord Lord's understanding of the psychology of the superior now. Definitely deeper than yourself. They are not without ambition. It's because they don't have a chance, and once they are given a chance, their power may be much greater than they imagined.

"Your Excellency. How are you prepared to deal with the Odin? Their attitude now is crucial. "Petro. Hughes gets back to business.

"Put it first, hang the appetite of the Odin. Their attitude is not in a hurry for us now, the situation is completely different now, the Kingdom of Odin must cooperate with us on the Mandalay side, make it clear, anyway, Courtney is playing very well now, dragging the Molaika people like this, I want to see how long they can spend with us. The army of the southern route has been victorious, and the army of the northern route is also overwhelming, and the final victory will definitely belong to us, and this battle can completely remove the threat of the Molaika Empire. ”

"Lord Lord, Courtney played well, but the consumption is also very large, if you continue to fight like this, I am afraid that Mandalay will be completely beaten and wasted." Petro. Hughes frowned and disagreed, in his opinion, it would be better to recover Maple Dew at the lowest cost, and it didn't have to be a good fight on Odega's territory.

"I don't want to, but the situation is pressing, if you can get the Odin troops as quickly as possible, we can make concessions on some other conditions, and you can consider the specific situation."

Hathaway knew Petro. What is Hughes worried about, after all, the recovery of maple dew still needs to be restored to normal, and a prosperous maple dew is what he needs most.

"I'll try, but I hope the Odin minds aren't as stubborn as granite."

Petro. Hughes was right, the battle in Mandalay went unusually fiercely, and the people of Moreka suffered a big loss. Courtney's army drove out of Mandalay in one fell swoop and gained a few days to adjust, which greatly improved Mandalay's defensive posture.

When the Moreka army came to its senses and readjusted its military forces, Bowen. Courtney had mobilized almost the entire population of Mandalay, and the three castles, which were originally famous for their beauty, were soon heavily armed and became fortresses with a well-developed defense system, especially the posture of each other's horns, once the position was set, the Moleka had to defend themselves from attacks from many other directions every time.

However, it is not the enemies who defend Mandalay that cause the most headache for the Molaika people, but the Mandalay itself...... After these guys occupied the three castles around Mandalay, the originally peaceful situation in Mandalay immediately changed drastically, and the undercurrent lurking underwater suddenly surged.

Almost overnight, numerous rebel armies appeared, most of them the private armies of the local nobles, who behaved very tame when the Molaika were in absolute predominance. After Courtney led the army into Mandalay, especially the second batch of reinforcements, when they entered Mandalay, they were like dry weeds being burned by sparks, and they were immediately swept across the land of Mandalay.

These rebels took advantage of the right time and place to penetrate everywhere, constantly attacking small groups of Moreka patrols and burning the grain and grass of the Moreka people.

Although the Molaica also increased their ammunition pressure, they were a little overwhelmed by the Odagar nails inside and the Mandalay rebels outside, and they could only hope to completely eliminate the Cordillera troops entrenched in the castle as soon as possible...... But the task is a bit too heavy.

And the bad news from the south has been irritating the hearts of the people of Moreka all the time, and the proud cavalry force of the Molaika Empire has suffered a devastating blow in the southeast region of Maple Dew...... It is even very likely that he will be directly expelled from the Fenglu area, and the country is squabbling over the huge losses suffered in the First Battle of Fenglu, especially many nobles are strongly demanding that they consider using other means other than war to solve the Fenglu problem, all kinds of signs indicate that the country's previous resolute attitude has been shaken, which also greatly shakes the confidence of the front-line troops.

The people of Molaika knew that their time was running out, and if they could not take Mandalay before His Majesty the Emperor made the decision to end the war, they were sure that the war would not continue, and that they were destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame of the losers.

Fred frowned, all the power that could be used had been used, originally thought that he could rely on the powerful power of the magician to break the other party's defense system supported by the castle walls, but Fred did not expect that the other party showed tenacity and tenacity far beyond his imagination, and what puzzled Fred the most was that the Cordillera army in the first three castles did not show decent magical resistance, but suddenly showed strong magical power three days later.

It was obviously the effect of the magic array, which caused the unprepared attack force of its own side to suffer heavy losses immediately, and even its own mages could not reverse the situation for a while.

After readjusting the situation, the opponent immediately turned into a state of full defense, especially the magician power that the opponent suddenly showed changed the whole situation, so that his own attack force no longer dared to let go of the attack, and the magician power had to divide a part of the power to take care of it at any time, so as to prevent the opponent from using magic power again to cause big losses to his own side.
