Chapter 530: The War on the Western Front
Dane was still sitting in Castle White Wolf at the moment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He also has two of the most powerful military forces in the Kingdom of Hindlaire - the White Wolf Legion and the Cormire Legion.
The kingdom has been attacked by the Cursed Church in both directions, and these two legions are really hard to say where to send them. And he himself didn't decide which battlefield he wanted to go to.
But he knows that for now, the time for him to end up in person is probably not far away. And before that, he took the first step to send another legendary powerhouse of the kingdom, Eslor, out.
Eslor was ordered to go to the Beast Blood Castle to prepare for the battle with Major General Delin.
And the main reason why they don't send to the west is that in the Kingdom of Victoria and the New Empire of Holy Prometry, there are legendary powerhouses. The Church of the Damned is now making such a big move, it is impossible for these two countries not to react.
The end result, however, was a little disappointing for Dane, who felt that he had overestimated the speed of reaction of the sprawling nation of Holy Promethe.
Earlier, Sindelare's diplomatic ambassador had already convened an urgent meeting in the Silver and White Capital. All three countries of the Holy Alliance participated in this meeting, with the attitude of the Kingdom of Pudri being the most positive.
The army of the undead of the Church of the Damned that erupted from the fir realm had already invaded the kingdom of Pudri, and Queen Susan Bella was already in a hurry.
In fact, at this multinational conference held in the Silver and White Capital, Queen Susan Bella was personally present, hoping that the Kingdom of Victoria and the new empire of Holy Prometry would come to their aid and participate in the war against the Church of the Damned.
Of course, the ambassadors of both countries nodded in agreement.
However, the actual results did not satisfy Queen Susan Bella.
The Principality of Victoria still sent an army to some extent, after all, they are also a country bordering the Central Mountains, although they are in the north of the Central Mountains, but the cursed church thing, who knows what it will spread if it is not contained?
They sent an army of 5,000 men, ready to enter the kingdom of Pudri.
This number of troops could not satisfy the Pudri people. They want more support.
However, Victorians say more is not enough.
The last time the coalition was the one led by Sir Karn, the Victorians sent 5,000 men, and they were cheated, and this time they were willing to send another 5,000 men, which was actually interesting enough - at least that's what the Victorians themselves thought.
But this is still good, the Holy Prometry New Empire said it well, but in the end, they refused to send a single soldier, and were only willing to provide some material support.
It's like a war in the past.
In the east and south of the continent, Promixin is very accustomed to letting them take the lead and fight wars, and he will provide political support, diplomatic support, and maybe some resource support in the back, but as long as it is not really closely related to their interests, they will never really send a single soldier.
This time, it was against the Church of the Damned, and it looked very different, but the Holy Empire still maintained their usual style.
The kingdom of Pudri itself, on the other hand, did everything it could to raise an army.
It's not an easy thing to do. The military strength of the entire territory of Pudri does not exceed 50,000 people. After their defeat in the last war, it took almost a year to fully recover. Although the number of troops has basically recovered, these recovered recruits are basically no match with the veterans of the past in terms of combat capability.
At the beginning, when the undead who spread from the fir realm entered the territory of the kingdom, the border army was taken by surprise, and they were defeated in front of the undead, and they were not able to defend themselves against the enemy at all.
The fall of villages and towns on the border further exacerbated the disaster.
Originally, there were only about 4,000 undead who entered Pudri from the fir realm. Now, that number has grown to more than 10,000.
If it weren't for the fact that there weren't too many necromancers, corpses, and lichs in this undead army, I'm afraid the number of the undead legion would have grown further.
However, just these more than 10,000 undead already made it difficult for the Pudri people to do. What's more, there is also the main army of the undead who conquered Blackwood City, of course, it seems that their current goal should be roughly in the grip of the iron horse, but no one can guarantee that these undead will not turn around and head westward - the Pudri people are also self-aware, compared to the defense line arranged by the Schindlaire people in the grip of the iron horse, they must be a relatively softer and easier persimmon to pinch.
They weren't right.
The main army of the undead struck their heads on the Iron Horse's grip defense.
At the end of July, the main army of the undead launched a fierce attack on the Iron Horse's Grip. After three days of fierce fighting, they had no way to get the grip of the iron horse.
Here, the remnants of the Fourth Army Corps, the remnants of the Sixth Army Corps, and the 20,000 garrison soldiers of Brigadier General Chandler add up to more than 40,000 armed forces. Although the defense line of the Iron Horse's grip was built in a hurry, after all, the human army is sufficient, and Hindlaire's army has a lot of priests and mages, and when fighting against the undead, although it has suffered a lot of losses, it is not too much of a problem to block the enemy.
Comparatively speaking, the recent situation of the Kingdom of Pudri is a bit worse.
Victoria's reinforcements had just entered the country, however, there seemed to be something that Pudri couldn't resist.
More than 20,000 Pudri warriors gathered at the border and fought a few fierce battles with the undead army. However, not only were they unable to destroy the invading undead, but the more they fought, the more undead they fought.
Pudri's army, fought to the back, attrition by more than a third. However, the undead fought more and more, and the number at this moment had reached twenty thousand.
Queen Susan Bella was really in a hurry.
She could no longer care about retaining her strength, and her husband, Prince Isman of the Kingdom of Pudri, took the last elite force originally stationed in the Silver and White Capital, 10,000 elite soldiers, and gathered 5,000 reinforcements from Victoria to march to the front.
Prince Eastman, who went into battle in person, planned to supervise the army himself.
Under such circumstances, the situation in the kingdom of Pudri was finally stabilized.
After losing the two counties on the eastern border, they finally brought the spread of the undead under control, and there is a tendency to push back.
However, it was at this time that a group of undead spirits appeared in the Forest of the Four Wilds.
