Chapter 756: Assignment of Tasks
In this way, they repeatedly attacked the unsuspecting Norvid warrior garrisons, recovering a large part of the homeland of the kingdom of Astra.
In addition to this, they are also transferring a large number of the kingdom of Astra to the kingdom of Camelot, and the original citizens not only have to endure the slaughter of the Norvids, but also have to pay a lot of food to save their lives.
It was for these reasons that they had to leave their homeland and come to the pure land of the Camelot Kingdom.
There is no way, they can't survive if they don't come to the Kingdom of Camelot, not to mention that the Kingdom of Camelot is a country of the Kingdom of Astra, and Arthur even pulled out the sword in the stone and became the legendary Holy King.
These civilians were not resistant to the people who had become his lords at this time.
And which Norwids are also wary of the disappearance of a large number of troops, Arthur has a lot of strong soldiers, but he is not yet a match for the Norwidians.
They could only resort to guerrilla warfare to slowly deplete the enemy's forces, and he deduced that this war would be difficult to end without a year.
Therefore, he definitely has time to annihilate these Norvids who remained in the rear and then recover the territory of the Kingdom of Astra, and when the time comes, he can also go south to attack the enemy, and then he will truly have his own prestige in the Holy Religion world.
At this time, William finally led his army to the city of Deboren, the capital of the Rodland Empire.
Compared to when William first came here, it was obviously much more depressed, and because of the war, many southern merchants did not dare to come here at all.
One is that they are afraid of dying in the war, and the other is that because of the war, everyone will definitely choose to hoard goods, and the money of the residents must have been emptied by the grain merchants, and it is obvious that they will not have any profit when they come here.
And the merchants in the north, they are either plundered of their family property and killed themselves, or they are running away with their property, wives and children, and they have no opportunity or mood to do business.
Looking at the castle in front of him, which was obviously much depressed, William couldn't help but sigh with emotion, who would have thought that the number one power in the continent would one day be beaten to the top of the country.
I have to admit that even after more than three years of struggle, there is still a certain gap between the Kingdom of Lorik and the Empire of Rodland.
But it was such a country that was beaten by that group of Norvids and had to ask for help from other countries in order to survive the difficulties.
"Oh my friend!" Emperor Greine hugged William warmly, and then said, "I really didn't expect that the first to support me would be you!" ”
William smiled, then looked the other up and down, and Emperor Greine looked very haggard, his skin began to become pitted, and even his eyes had a lot of red blood.
It seems that the Norwid offensive during this period has made him anxious, and it is also that if this kind of thing is put on William, he will be even more uncomfortable.
After all, it was a direct territory that Emperor Greine vigorously developed, and if the enemy were to wreak havoc in the more prosperous kingdom of Lorik, William's state would not necessarily be much better than him.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, we will not let those damned Norwids continue to wreak havoc on your territory, we will defeat them, annihilate them here, and then grab their ships, go to their continent to plunder, and give them back all the suffering we have suffered!"
William swore to Emperor Greine, and Emperor Greine also nodded, and said with some concern: "I hope so!" ”
At fifty years old this year, he was not so easy to fool, and William's casual words were not so easy to impress him, and he only hoped that the Holy War would arrive soon and expel the enemy from his territory.
During this time, the income of the Rodlan Empire had fallen sharply, less than a tenth of what it was before the war, and now he did have a huge deposit in his treasury, but it was a lot of money needed to keep such a large country running.
If this war is really protracted, lasting for the last year or two or even two or three years, then without the help of the church or the Norwidians, they themselves will voluntarily collapse because of lack of money.
In this way, William's army was placed outside the castle, where the royal legions were originally stationed.
And in the following month, the holy army also came to the city of Deboren one after another.
This time the mobilization is even more thorough than the last time, and the Rhodesan Empire can be regarded as a real hemorrhage at this moment, and the logistics needs of more than 700,000 people are absolutely astronomical.
It can be said that if the two sides were not enemies, the Church would have to thank the Church for the death of the Norwids, who allowed the Church to weaken the Rodland Empire without bloodshed.
Although the fall of the Kingdom of Astra broke the Church's arm, the invasion of the Norweeds also damaged the vitality of the Rodland Empire, and the situation was once again balanced.
In this way, everyone gathered in the halls of the Imperial Palace of the Rodland Empire to discuss the follow-up holy war.
They had all learned the lessons of the last crusade, and none of them proposed to merge in one place and engage the enemy in a direct decisive battle.
Twenty intends to divide the troops into ten parts, each to accomplish its own strategic goals.
Anyway, the enemy was not stationed together, and they held the strategic points next to the main camp, and divided many satellite camps to defend the center.
This is the point of dividing the troops, they must pull out or drag down all the enemy's satellite camps in order to buy time to destroy the enemy.
Uban II still didn't come here this time, three years later, his body was almost exhausted, and a long journey would drain the few vitality in his body.
So this time the Church sent two cardinals and a cardinal to take full charge of the holy war.
The Church also sent a lot of troops during this holy war, sending out all 5,000 Knights Templar, in addition to 6,000 Templar Guardians.
It can be said that for this holy war, the church also did its best and showed all its strength.
They had to do this, after all, the enemy came with the purpose of destroying the Holy Sect World, if there was no Holy Sect World, then the Church would be nothing, and in order to maintain their position, they must do their best to keep the Holy Sect World.
"Very well, His Majesty William, His Majesty Bancel, and our Church, and His Majesty Rabradi, we are responsible for attacking the enemy's main forces head-on!"
"The other countries are responsible for containing the enemy forces in other places, you must hold back the enemy and prevent them from coming back, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain, and the Holy Sect World will be destroyed by the enemy!"
After a period of discussion, the Church and Emperor Greine finally settled on the task assigned to each country.
