Because of Wayne's break with the aristocracy, many anticipated the impending big battle. The inhabitants of the imperial capital and the surrounding cities evacuated, not wanting to be affected by the war.

This also saves Wayne a lot of effort, and also saves Wayne from having to take care of the residents while dealing with the war on the side. The only trouble was the Imperial Academy, where the scholars and scholars were willing to obey the command and leave the imperial capital. But the library and laboratory of the Imperial College are not very easy to run. In particular, there are some antiquities that are difficult to move, and if you bump them, you can drive them crazy.

Wayne didn't have a good way either, thinking that it was basically impossible to evacuate these items that had to be carefully transported in a short period of time. If the railway is built into the Grani Xiongguan, it will be easy to say. The only way is to leave it alone, which has led some scholars to stay and protect the relics, which is not easy to stop.

Of course, the most important thing is the war.

"The fastest schedule from Vis to the emperor is three days, and if you go to Doria to take the train first, it can be shortened by half a day, and it can also save the physical strength of the soldiers. ”

Balder reported on the plans for the return of the two corps.

Wayne frowned, keenly pointing out the loopholes.

"But the train can only take half a corps at most, and even if there are a few more trains, it can only transport the Iron Shield Corps. What about the Dragon's Breath Legion?"

Balder replied, well prepared.

"Let the Iron Shield Legion return to the imperial capital first, and occupy the three cities of Rad, Keji, and Bens. After waiting for two days, the Dragon's Breath Legion will naturally arrive. Otherwise, the Falcon and the Lion and Tiger Legion will arrive before us, and not only will it be difficult to recapture it at that time, but the imperial capital will also be in jeopardy. ”

Wayne asked.

"Can one corps garrison three cities?"

"The Iron Shield Legion is about 120,000 people, 40,000 per city. There are 200,000 ligers and falcons, and if they concentrate on attacking one city, they may easily take it. But these three cities are interlinked, one side is in trouble, and the other two can provide immediate support. I can even surround it after copying. In addition, the walls have recently been reinforced, and the artillery has also been updated. It is not difficult to hold on for a day or two, and wait until the Dragon's Breath Corps arrives. They can be much less stressed. ”

Balder analyzed.

"Bald, I still have to warn you, they might send a few Magisters. As of now, we don't know what the Magister's role is on the battlefield. We have to leave room for now, but for now. This tactic is already the limit, and with a little bit of wind and grass, we may be finished. ”

"But if we want to keep the imperial capital safe, this is the only way we have for now. ”

Wayne looked at the map again, wishing he had missed something. He couldn't rest all his hopes of victory on the strength of the Iron Shield Legion.

In the end, it was fruitless, and the only thing that could be supported in the short term was the Iron Shield Legion.

"In addition, I will send two more great magicians, although they will not have a big effect, but they can also shake the field. ”

Balder reminded.

"Do we need to be ready to retreat, if the Iron Shield Legion can't withstand us, we won't leave in a hurry. ”

Wayne nodded.

It is not a bad thing to think about retreating, and it is a qualified military strategist to think about defeat before you win.

"It's easy to say that I can evacuate, I can evacuate a long time ago, the only regret is that some things in the Imperial Academy are too heavy to carry. ”

Balder reminded.

"Young Master Wayne, the most anxious thing at the moment is the war. To put it bluntly, what do these artifacts have to do with us. ”

Of course, Balder can only watch the military as a military general, but Wayne is different, he wants to lead the overall situation. The importance of the war at the moment does not mean that other aspects can be abandoned. If he didn't care about these relics, those scholars would have to complain.

"At the moment, you can withdraw as much as you can, and if you can't move it, forget it. ”

"Yes!"

Two days later.

"Mars, we meet again. ”

Wayne greeted him with a smile.

"Master Wayne, this train is really a weapon of war. My army of 50,000 men traveled about 180 kilometers in one day. If we can spread the railway, Master Wayne will be able to defeat those people with my Iron Shield Legion alone. ”

The mobility of war can indeed determine the left and right of war to a large extent, so this is one of the reasons why cavalry can have a great advantage in cold weapon warfare.

"General Mars, you don't know the price of firewood and rice, you must know that this railway alone cost me more than three million gold coins. If it were to be spread out, it would have to hollow out the bottom of my waist. ”

Mars smiled heartily.

"That's what Master Wayne said. But I'm not here to talk about railways. ”

"Then General Mars comes with me. ”

Balde then told Mars about the situation, and at first Mars was full of confidence, but the more he listened, his face became solemn.

"In other words, the biggest variable is the Magister. ”

Mars said.

Balde immediately agreed.

"It's true that we haven't even met a Magister. Not to mention knowing the strength of the Magister. ”

Wayne comforted.

"General Mars, if he thinks it's too variable, we can evacuate. After all, the symbolic role of the imperial capital is much less than the strategic role. ”

You can't put too much pressure on the generals before the war, Wayne knows that. After all, if you overemphasize things that have nothing to do with military affairs, it is likely to lead to miscalculations on the part of the generals.

Mars hesitated for a moment.

"Master Wayne, how can you be very sure of the war. If I lose, I can retreat, and the loss will not be too great. It can also test the strength of the Magister and its role on the battlefield. ”

Wayne nodded approvingly, Mars was worthy of being a general who had been immersed in war for many years. He saw it much more thoroughly than he and Bald.

"Since General Mars said so, then he sent the Iron Shield Legion to garrison the three cities of Rader, Keji, and Bens. If you need any help, just tell me. ”

"Master Wayne, I actually hope that you can retreat, although doing so will motivate the soldiers, but after all, there are still some dangers on the front line. If you make a mistake, we're not going to be able to handle it. ”

Wayne shook his head.

"Mars: I'm still on the front line, not just to motivate the soldiers. It is mainly the imperial capital, and there are still some people and scholars here who are reluctant to leave. The main reason I'm still here is to persuade them to leave. ”

"Then these things can be done by Balde. ”

"If those people had listened to Bald, I wouldn't have stayed until now. ”

At this point, Mars couldn't say anything more.

"Don't worry, Mars, if I can't hold on, I'll evacuate. You don't have to worry, just take care of the front line. ”

Wayne patted Mars on the shoulder.

"Then I'll go arrange the defense. ”

"Go ahead. ”
