Although the investment of the most elite combat troops does not necessarily mean that this is the final decisive battle that will determine the fate of the two sides participating in the war, the elite degree of the troops invested more or less reflects the importance that the two sides attach to this battle.

Obviously, Irlanhill has long invested his most elite troops, which is also determined by the military habits of the Irlanhill Empire.

From the very beginning of its founding, the Irlanhill Empire has been accustomed to putting its most elite troops into the battlefields where they are most needed.

Modern countries don't have the bad habits of old empires, and like to keep their main forces until the last into battle.

The Iran Hill Empire prefers to be the first to invest its own elite troops, open up the situation, and then use the follow-up, countless second-line troops to harvest the entire battlefield.

"Divine Acolyte troops?" Although he has been fighting with demons for hundreds of years, Andrea still doesn't know the existence of this mysterious army.

In fact, if you think about it, you can also know that the Divine Attendant Force did not appear on the Magic Continent in the past, and this force did not appear on the Magic Continent.

In the past, the Magic Continent was already very passive even to resist the so-called Four Princes of the Demon Realm, and there was no need to dispatch such a high-level force as the Divine Attendant.

As for why the Demon Realm didn't directly dispatch high-level troops to kill the Magic Continent in seconds, Chris also felt that it was not difficult to analyze.

Because the demons want to cut off part of their own population through war, which is similar to the steppe nomads. If you win the battle, grab some things and go back to survive the winter, and if you lose the battle, the population has plummeted, and the remaining people will survive the winter.

Now, the demons have really lost, they have lost tens of millions of people, and they are very precious magicians and warriors. This winter is destined to be very difficult for the Demon Realm.

"Yes, according to the news from the battlefield, they call themselves god acolytes, and such a force is roughly estimated to be 1,000 people, and there may be more." Chris answered Andrea's questions.

He thought for a moment, and then added: "Everyone has the combat power of the Magus or above, and if this army had been placed in the past, it could have been described as terrifying. ”

"Yes, if they put in this force, it may be that the Magic Continent has completely fallen before the rise of Elanhill." Queen Andrea said with trepidation.

She knew how terrible an army with all the members of the mages above the Grand Magister was, even the elves could suffer heavy losses when facing such an army.

You know, no one knows how many such armies the demons have. If the other side has more than 10,000 such troops, even if it is Iran Hill, it will have to suffer some hardships.

"They won't let the Magic Continent fall easily, this is one of their main ways to consume the population, it's cruel to say, but for a semi-slave society, there is no way." Chris mocked the backwardness of the Demon Realm.

If the demons had the perfect technology to deal with the population barrier, like Ellen Hill under Chris, they would probably have swallowed up the wizarding world long ago.

It's a pity that they don't have similar technology, they can only use war to consume a part of their own population in order to find a temporary balance.

"Winter has arrived, the devil's winter, our winter." Chris rubbed the bridge of his nose again, winter is much more difficult for an empire than summer.

Because the area is so large, there are hundreds of millions of civilians living above and below the poverty line in the whole of Elanhill, and these people have to eat, which is an extremely heavy burden for an empire.

Now the situation in Irlanhill is that the central region is feeding the north and south with its own food. The north can feed back some of the meat of cattle, sheep and monsters to make up for it, and the south is really being fed in vain.

Although, in the foreseeable future, the southern region will definitely exist like a granary, but at this time, it is still completely upside down.

Because of the war, it will be necessary to wait until the beginning of spring next year to sow seeds. Although the empire has prepared good seeds, arranged enough technicians to support production, and deliberately sowed more than 70,000 knowledge magic balls for spring ploughing, but the harvest is all a matter of 7 years in Iran Hill.

"Now, transportation across the country is starting to slow down, because of the snowfall in the northern region, and the grassland needs us to mobilize more food support." For an emperor, it is his responsibility to mobilize the resources of the whole country and make the state of the empire as stable as possible. The responsibility on Chris's shoulders is much heavier than that of all the emperors on the Magic Continent.

He twisted his neck a little tiredly, trying to move his body as much as he could. Andrea is a queen in the end, seeing Chris stretching his waist and twisting his neck so much, he didn't go up to help.

If Princess Jessica saw this, she would definitely walk up behind Chris and help him press his shoulders to loosen his muscles or something.

No way, this is also determined by the identities of the two people. Whether it's Cape Luna, or Vivien, including Andrea, they don't serve anyone.

One of them is a princess, one is a super magician, and the other is an elf queen, most of the time they are in a state of stretching out their hands to eat, which makes them considerate of Chris, and they are a little embarrassed.

Jessica is different, this commoner's daughter was originally a piece of jade unearthed by Chris, although it was carefully carved, but in front of Chris, she has always been like a small jasper, and it has never changed.

Chris didn't expect Andrea to come over and massage his shoulders for him, he just habitually moved his body to avoid his body becoming stiff because of sitting every day to deal with government affairs.

After twisting his neck, he continued: "Although the fighting in the southern region has stopped, it will take time for the development there, and this year we will send at least 10 million tons of grain to that side, so as not to starve civilians to death in winter." ”

"The railway built from the Kashik Empire to Dosen mobilized more than 300,000 people in the local area, and solving the food problem for these people is also a problem." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a soft knock on the door.

Chris knew it was Luther who had come to deliver him news. No one else dared to knock on the door while Andrea was in Chris's room......

"Come in." Chris casually commanded.

Sure enough, Luther pushed the door open and walked in. The central butler walked up to Chris, glanced at Andrea and whispered, "Your Majesty, we have entered the airspace of the new puppet empire......"
