In fact, what Macabur said to Baibasbar was not the truth, and of course he did not mean to hide anything, because Macabur himself did not know the whole truth. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 It is true that the Duke of Mifora sent his troops after receiving the news that the king of Traag intended to recruit him, but the news itself was deliberately revealed to Mifra by the king of Traag.

Traag was indeed a king who was content with the status quo, but that didn't mean he lacked strategy. To deal with Duke Mifora, who is evenly matched with him, he has little chance of winning, so whoever makes the first move will bear the injustice of the brotherly wall, if Tragg strikes first, then not only will his forbearance and tolerance for more than ten years be wasted, but he will also attract the accusation of appeasement and adultery; If Mifra had done it, he would have been charged with treason against the king, which would have helped Traag unite the rest of the country.

As Tragg expected, just a little rumor was revealed, plus the transfer of some troops, which made the naturally anxious Mifra unable to sit still. Strictly speaking, neither side was ready for an all-out war with the other, but Mifra still brazenly launched an attack. He concentrated 20,000 men and launched an attack on the two fortresses where the king's army was stationed, but Traag's military maneuver to lure Mifra into attack turned into a prescient preparation for battle, and Mifora's army failed to surprise and landed under the two fortresses. Although Mifra later recruited 50,000 troops for reinforcements, it took two months to take the two fortresses.

This gave Traag an early advantage at the beginning of the war: Mifora's strength lay in his economic ability, and he could not compare with the king in terms of the vastness of the land. Now just two fortresses have taken Mifora two full months, and the strength of the Mifora army's combat capability is obvious to all over the country, and everyone's confidence in defeating Mifra has been greatly enhanced, so except for the lords who were originally attached to Mifula, there are few voluntary surrenders in the country. Each resisting city will greatly weaken the Mifra's fighting power, while also buying time for Traag's forces.

According to the information, Traag learned that Mifra's goal was to attract the King's army to a decisive battle in order to decide the outcome of a battle. Traag certainly didn't have to cater to Mifora's pace, and his deployment was to defend himself on a defensive scale, using the vast expanse of his territory to buy time to recruit more soldiers to fight. Traag, however, understood that there was a weakness in this plan, and that was that Mifra had more elephants than he did. The most effective type of force in Sindra's army was undoubtedly the Elephant Soldiers, but it was very expensive to form Elephant Soldiers, so it was only natural that Mifra, who was economically powerful, had more Elephant Soldiers. This gap meant that it would be difficult for the King's army to win against Mifola's army in the field, which was why Mifula was eager to fight the King's army in a decisive battle. Tragg's biggest fear is that Mifra will lead a large army to attack the national capital directly on his back, in which case he will have to fight a decisive battle with the other party in the field, otherwise the morale of the people of the whole country will be greatly damaged.

The news that Macabur had persuaded Basbar to send 50,000 troops to his aid was a great joy, and Trag was overjoyed to receive Makabur's letter. Although the letter stated that all the military expenses and food for the Paz army to come to the aid this time would be borne by Sindra, and the enemy heads captured would also need to be paid by Traag, the name alone was enough to become a huge political propaganda advantage to be able to get the help of the world-famous Paz army.

In the fourth month of the war, the tide of battle began to turn in favor of the Mifola army, whose economic power attracted a large number of mercenaries to serve, and as time went on, the Mifurah army grew rapidly in size, and these mercenaries were much more capable of fighting than the newly recruited Sindra soldiers, so that the battlefield began to be one-sided. As more and more cities fell, the position of some lords began to waver, and more and more people secretly repaired books to get in touch with Mifura to show their submission. In this case, if the king does not send troops, then the situation will quickly become out of control like a snowball.

Tragg sent people to get in touch with the Paz reinforcements at the same time, and at the same time gathered all the troops he could mobilize, a total of 180,000 troops to leave the royal capital.

Traag knew that as long as Mifra knew the news of his troops, he would definitely meet it with all his might. It would be unwise to march at full strength, as it would not only fail to merge with Paz reinforcements, but would also shorten the enemy's supply lines. If you can attract the Mifra army to go deeper, you may be able to cut off the opponent's excessively long supply line. Therefore, although Trag sent troops, he slowly went south, but Mifra led his army all the way north without hesitation (at this time, Mifora's total strength had exceeded 220,000, and the combat power was also stronger than the king's army).

No matter how slow Traag's pace is, the armies of both sides will eventually encounter it, but where it is encountered, it is very particular. From this point of view, it can be seen that Traag is indeed more calculating than Mifora, and Traag, who has been slowly swallowing the march, suddenly sped up his speed and seized the north bank of the Ermad River in time with a three-day rapid march. Using the Ermod River in central Sindra as a natural barrier to stop Mifora's army could take advantage of it, and Traag could also use the Ganges tributaries to feed the army. Mifora, who had been seized by Traag's surprise move, soon occupied the south bank as well, and the two sides deployed their forces along the north and south banks.

Traag took the initiative, of course, he would not make a rash move to cross the river, his supplies were more convenient than Mifula, as long as he could not let Mifula's main force cross the river, it could be said that he would win, not to mention that there was a Paz reinforcement on the way.

Mifra was indeed an impatient, and seeing that Tragg was not moving, he took the initiative to attack, and rushed to the river to build ships only to force the crossing of the Elmod River.

In the face of Mifora's almost unconscionable move, Trag couldn't help but bow a tear of sympathy for him. If Mifra did lead his troops across the river, it would be something Trag could not have wanted, and Trague's archers would have them all die in the Elmod.

What made Trag even more unsettling than this incident was that the 50,000 reinforcements of the Paz Empire had not yet arrived on the battlefield, according to Traag's calculations, if the pace of the Path army was normal, they should have rushed to the north bank of the Ermod River at about the same time as themselves, what was it that hindered the footsteps of the Paz army?

When the sentinel he sent sent a report arrived, Traag was shocked: the whereabouts of the Paz army were unknown! (To be continued.) )
