Chapter 754: Rushing to the Battlefield
Nearly 400,000 Norvid warriors appeared on the border of the Rhodeland Empire.
Emperor Polioye had learned from Kirunde that the country was so powerful that it was able to mobilize a regular army of nearly 100,000 men, in addition to a large militia, so he could not help but be cautious in the face of this behemoth.
Emperor Greine looked at the documents in his hand irritably, the Norvidian advance to his land made him very aggrieved, in addition to this, he would regret it, he was also against the coalition to support the kingdom of Astra, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the plot was reversed, the enemy not only destroyed the kingdom of Astra, but also advanced to the edge of his land, to burn the flames of war into his country.
He irritably wrote letters to the past of each country, asking them to assemble their armies in the Rodland Empire as soon as possible.
He also didn't want to use the Rhodesan Empire as the main battlefield, but there was no way, who didn't want to keep the enemy out of the country, the enemy had already come to his land, if he didn't want to suffer greater losses, then he had to do it.
"Your Majesty, allow me to greet you as a member of the Holy Father, Father and Son, as you already know, heretics from another continent have come to my land, and they want to destroy everything here!"
"They are a bunch of demons who don't allow anything good to exist in the world, and whenever they see something they don't like, they always want to destroy it! The land of the Empire of Rodland is inhabited by 35 million people of the Holy Father, who prayed day and night to praise the Father's grace, but now they prayed that this group of pagans would not invade their families and their lives! ”
"Your Majesty, you are the Father's spokesman in the world, the most loyal servant of the Holy Father, you carry out the will of the Holy Father in the world, and I hope that you will be able to expel this group of heretics with the will of the Holy Father!"
"Let them stop persecuting the people of the Holy Father, and let them know that the majesty of the Holy Father is inviolable!"
- Emperor of the Holy Rodland, pious people of the Holy Father, your friend and supporter, Grein. Franz was written on the 15th day of the seventh month of the year 1239 in the Holy Calendar.
Emperor Grein's letter to the Pope was very humble, and he was really afraid that Uban II would slow down the assembly and cause the empire to suffer huge losses under the intention of depleting the strength of the Rodland Empire.
That's why he put down the dignity that belonged to the emperor and wrote such humble letters.
And when Ubaner II saw this letter, he also nodded with satisfaction and pride, for Emperor Greine, who had fought for many years, he was quite happy to see the other party bow his head and beg for mercy.
However, he did not say anything, only a symbolic reply, and the jihadist army was still being assembled.
It is worth mentioning that the Templar Order had expanded to 5,000 men because King Leonac had agreed to recruit knights in the kingdom of Astra.
Although the quality has decreased slightly, it is not much worse after a period of training.
It is worth mentioning that since the countries destroyed by the Norvid people are in a state of crushing, these countries have adopted a policy of defending the city, so they have never seen the posture of the knights of the Holy Sect World at all.
Ironically, even the kingdom of Astra, the nation of knights, did not use the tactics of knightly charging to fight the enemy.
As for the knightly capital of Balebwayne, a large number of knights were also sent as aid in the hope that they could command the troops to fight.
There are 3,000 academies and 500 instructors, all of whom are nobles or knights, and since the children of the nobles and knights who studied in Balebwayne have returned home to participate in the battle, these are the knights who have been canonized by the knight capital itself.
All the countries have already assembled their armies, and the total number of jihadist troops in the entire continent is five or six hundred thousand, which is already the regular army troops that the Holy Religion World has mobilized with all its might.
Don't look at the 200 million people, they always think that they can mobilize a lot of troops, you know, a considerable part of these people have to stay in the farmland, stay in the workshop, stay in the rear to be responsible for transportation, get rid of women, get rid of the elderly, get rid of children, and get rid of these people who can't go to the battlefield, the entire Holy Sect World can only mobilize so many people.
At this time, the Norwegians had continued to advance under the orders of Emperor Polioye, intending to destroy the continent's first power as soon as possible.
He had heard from Kirunde that once the first power was destroyed, their real enemy would be the church, which had few troops.
How could Kirunde, who had been away from the Holy Religion World for five years, know that during this time, a powerful country called the Kingdom of Lorik had risen.
Regardless, the Norwids continued to advance, with some of their armies moving separately to the rest of the Lordland, while Emperor Porioye led an army of 100,000 along a large road.
Along the way, they burned, killed, looted, and soon entered a range of 50 kilometers of the territory of the Rodland Empire, which was close to their hinterland.
Emperor Grein scolded Uban II for taking advantage of the danger of his people, and at the same time, he also sent troops to the front line to guard the fortress, because in front of the Norwegians was a large fortress.
The fortress was built to compete with the Church, but now it was built to guard against the Norweeds.
Three royal legions, totaling more than 13,000 people, were sent to the fortress to defend it, and he believed that counting the more than 10,000 garrisons in the fortress plus more than 10,000 royal legions, this was already solid.
And on the way of the other Norweed armies, he also arranged for the troops to be responsible for guarding and blocking them.
And the armies of the Holy Cult countries were finally in place, and they began to assemble in the direction of the Rhodesan Empire.
William also personally led the army, with 16,000 royal infantry, 10,000 archers and crossbowmen, 2,400 Iron Cross knights, and 200 knights of the Inner Palace.
Only 2,000 royal infantry, 2,000 archers and arrows, and 100 Iron Cross knights were left in his royal capital, but these were enough troops, after all, there were still so many militias in the country.
In addition, he also mobilized a large number of vassal troops, and after three years, his blood relatives and nobles also developed enough military strength, and his vassals saw that you were right, there were nearly 40,000 people, and he took more than 60,000 troops to the Rodland Empire.
And the logistics transport convoy behind him, as well as the number of military concubines, this group has reached 100,000, and this scale that has been difficult to see in the past hundred years has appeared frequently in the past few years.
After more than a month, William finally set foot on the territory of the Rodland Empire, and it is estimated that he will reach Deboren's city in about half a month.
