Chapter 660: Diliste Fortress

Just when the anti-Lorik coalition army was dispatched, Novin and Hurim on the other side also led the army to leave the territory of the Lorik Kingdom.

Armed with the credentials of the Kingdom of Lorique and the passes given by the Church, they traveled through several countries to the Kingdom of Arisla.

Along the way, they once again showed their military might, and after seeing the royal army passing by, they all exclaimed why there was such a powerful army in the world, which made the prestige of the Kingdom of Lorik once again rise to a higher level in the Holy Religion world.

Wearing a leather armor and riding on a war horse, Norwen took the map and said to Norwen beside him: "This is the fortress of Tiliste, according to the meaning of the church, we are going here to defend!" ”

The Fortress of Tiliste was a large fortress built by the Kingdom of Arisera to defend the country, forty kilometers away from the Holy Sepulchre, their royal capital, and a defensive line built by the Kingdom of Arisera was built on the basis of this Fortress of Tiliste and another fortress of Ram.

Both forts were heavily stocked with soldiers, and the other small forts and wooden forts were all built on these two forts.

If the enemy wanted to break through through the weak areas of the defensive line, the two fortresses would send a large number of reinforcements to the rescue.

Although there was some distance between the fortress and the barricade, the odd Piars would have to pull out the nails in front of them if they wanted to advance.

Otherwise, once they cross these fortresses, they will face the threat of the enemy behind them, whether it is their reinforcements or logistics, they will be strictly guarded outside.

Behind this line of defense is a very prosperous commercial county, which can bring huge financial revenue to the kingdom of Arisera every year, if it falls into the hands of the Piars, then the kingdom of Arisella's finances will inevitably shrink, and its strength will decline rapidly, so there will be these two fortresses and defense lines to defend here.

The forts and wooden bars here are densely built, and the distance between the two forts will never exceed 60 meters, just to prevent enemy attacks.

In this line of defense alone, there are tens of thousands of soldiers to defend it.

Of course, not all of the soldiers here were the armies of the kingdom of Arisrah.

The kingdom of Arisera could only mobilize a regular army of eight or nine thousand people, after all, their population was still too small, and if there were too many standing regular troops, it might affect the development of the country.

However, this has not been the case in recent years, and the kingdom of Arisera has been weakened by the defeat a few years ago.

However, with the assistance of several countries in the rear, they finally stabilized the situation, and the army changed from only two or three thousand men lost at the beginning to eight or nine thousand now.

Under the orders of Bedwin IV, the royal family and the nobility of the country began to train a large number of recruits and expand them into their own army.

After all, the situation at this time is already in an abnormal crisis, and it is no longer important to take into account domestic development, if even the country is destroyed, then what is the point of development.

Therefore, they have been training new soldiers for several years, and now the regular army of the Kingdom of Arisera has reached more than 15,000 people.

In addition to the many mercenaries they spent a lot of money on hiring, there were also many knights who came here for the sake of their faith to help them resist the Piars and protect the safety of the Holy Sepulchre.

Of the 10,000 people in this fortress, only about 4,000 were the army of the Kingdom of Arisrah, and the rest were wandering knights who had already come to the castle with mercenaries.

Now there are nearly 3,000 wandering knights active on the entire battlefield, and there are more than 1,000 in this fortress alone.

Although the wandering knights have always been wandering, they will train hard to survive on the battlefield in the future, after all, they still want to find a feudal lord.

What's more, the wandering knights who are out there will inevitably participate in battles, and if they encounter outlaws such as robbers and bandits, if they don't join them, they will not be able to avoid a battle.

Therefore, many wandering knights are no worse than regular knights in terms of combat effectiveness.

It is because of their existence that they can defend this line of defense and not let the enemy break through here.

Although the situation at this time is still very dangerous, it is no longer as precarious as it was at the beginning, after all, the kingdom of Arisera at the beginning was almost the king, and now this defense line has been established, which has relieved them and the situation has improved a lot.

However, the situation was still not optimistic, and the original Kargisai dynasty sent 60,000 soldiers to attack the kingdom of Arisra, just to temper the three princes.

But now, the war had been taken to heart by the Sumor the Great of the Kargisai dynasty, who had once again increased his army by 10,000 and united with the other four sultanates, who had together sent 60,000 soldiers to prepare for an attack on the kingdom of Arisala.

At this point, the popular army of Piar, which attacked the kingdom of Arisla, had 130,000 men, including nearly 10,000 slave cavalry, the Nomasra cavalry.

The Normasra cavalry resembled the Mamluks of William's previous life, they were strong teenagers who had been emasculated from an early age, and then underwent rigorous training, ate the best food, used the best equipment, and were instilled in them every day with the idea of loyalty to their masters.

Since they have no underneath and therefore no desire to procreate, all that governs them is the desire to kill and the execution of their master's orders.

Without a family, they have no worries in their hearts, so they are almost not afraid of death, and the combat power that erupts is also extremely terrifying.

Some ordinary knights in the Holy Cult world can't even compete with them, and so far, the knights of the Kingdom of Arisera have been completely crushed by the other side, and only the Knights Templar are evenly matched with them.

Now the war of the kingdom of Arisera is no longer limited to the two countries, but has completely extended to the war between the two worlds and the cultural sphere.

After all, this was a war around the Holy Sepulchre, and the Khajisai dynasty of the Piars and all the four sultanates had joined the war, which was a very bad start for the Holy Cult world.

Even with the rapid formation of a large number of soldiers in the Kingdom of Arisala, with the number of enemies, it is still not something that the Kingdom of Arisera can compete.

Otherwise, the Church would not have been so eager to recruit William and them into the war in order to preserve the kingdom of Arisella and the Holy Sepulchre.

This time, William dispatched more than 4,000 troops, while the Rhodeland Empire sent even more, dispatching more than 15,000 soldiers and more than 500 Sunshine Knights.

The Kingdom of Astra also sent about 10,000 people, adding up to a total of 30,000 troops, and came to the battlefield of the Kingdom of Arisella.
