The flower boat fleet of Fuxing City came with a headwind, and when it returned, it was a smooth wind!

Hug the beauty, the cave room flowers candle night, the sweet joy, self-expression......

Go to the endless swamp against the wind, and arrive before the specified date, the itinerary is tight, but there are not so many rules on the return trip, easy, a real family, reunited on the flower boat, originally three women are a play, I didn't expect it to be happy......

How many people in the world can really have such days, who is not running for life, for career, and for children? How many people have gathered less and left more or even separated from each other because of such and such circumstances, and they have been running around and toiling? Whether it is Higg, Blue Fairy, or Maria Iona, they all know very well that such a day may never happen again in their lifetime! Ordinary people are still hard to find, not to mention which one of this family is simple, which one does not hold power, God can give them such a chance to reunite together, that is the fate of several lifetimes, how many coincidences of luck?

On the second day back to Fuxing City, the first one to leave was Lan Xian'er, who went to the Alchemy Country to participate in the triennial World Expo Conference, and a group of 1,000 people helped Nicole in the Alchemy Country, of course, it was Higg's own magic that sent the group there, and then returned to Fuxing City from the Magic Guild.

The battlefield of Erathia in winter seems to have been put into storage, especially the confrontation between the Fifth Army in the north and Arad in the Haman Plain. The plains of Haman are already a vast white snowfield, and the snow is a good year, which seems to indicate a good harvest next year.

Higg and the others stayed in Fuxing City for more than ten days, and then they came to this cold land in the north. Iona plans to stay here for a while to arrange a trade between the Fifth Legion and the Witches, and from here she will return to the Endless Swamp; Maria had wanted to return to Mountbatten, where her 40,000 guards and Elva's 60,000 troops, and the 20,000 troops of the Loga River Plains, for a total of 120,000 men, were the fourth division of the Fifth Legion, which had become completely and completely part of the Fifth Legion, but Higg did not let her go. The military battle plan of the Fifth Army Corps will naturally be formulated and implemented by Simak, Lufasi, Mevo and others, and Higg does not intend to be too persistent in participating, strategizing to win a thousand miles, is what he needs to do, until he is forced to do it, he will not easily fight and kill again, and the commander should sit in his command position after the battle starts, so as to best reflect his own value.

The Fifth Army is full of outstanding generals and talents, such as Simak, Lufasi, Mevo, Thomas, Kolincha, Habaisa, Elva, Ulin, etc., all of whom can be in charge of their own affairs, and they all have the experience of being in charge of their own affairs.

Higg used the 800 boxes of jewels sent by Benjamin, half sold and half mortgaged, and obtained 140 million gold coins, plus 20 million brought back from Madeya City, a total of 160 million gold coins, spent 10 million in Harando, and bought more than 30 million military supplies in Yaning City, this time, only a few million were left, and all 110 million were pulled to Bobohua City to be handed over to the Fifth Army Military Headquarters. Part of this money is used to pay for orders for military supplies and rations, and most of the rest is military salaries.

This money is only half of the military expenses of Simak's plan for the Arad campaign, but the Lojia River Plain has income, the Silent Forest has income, and the Orlando Province has a large amount of manpower to enter the workshop to produce military equipment, which can be regarded as saving some expenses.

What pleased Higg the most was that the 40,000 horses that Thomas had brought back from the steppe, all of them nomadic cavalry horses, were not new horses without experience. Thomas knew what the Fifth Legion wanted, if it was a new war horse, it would be too late for the Fifth Legion to train in the winter, although the Harandor tribe did not want to be taken prisoner in the steppe, but the mounts of the nomadic cavalry, they directly laughed, and then collected a batch from the dependent tribes, purchased a batch, carefully selected, and made up 40,000 warlike horses with combat experience, and drove directly to the Ural Grand Canyon, drove into the Kuba Fortress, and drove to the base camp of the Fifth Legion, Bobohua City.

These 40,000 war horses were sent by the Harandor tribe, and they didn't need to pay any fees for Higg, which not only saved a lot of expenses, but also saved the time for the new cavalry corps to train war horses.

Therefore, the matter of funding has been completely solved for Simak, only a little more, now it depends on the production capacity and transportation capacity of the witch clan led by Daniel, as well as the processing capacity of Bobo Hua City for the leather, animal tendons, etc. transported by Gnarda on the grassland, as well as the processing capacity of military raw materials transported from Yaning Island.

The size of the Fifth Army reached more than 400,000 troops in Orlando Province alone. Originally, when the Sampu army in the third theater was eliminated, the main force of the Fifth Army that returned to the base camp of Bobohua City was only 240,000 people, and later incorporated the 50,000 people of the Kuba Fortress, and the Silent Forest and the Luojia River Plain did not need to leave too many men and horses to garrison because they became strategic rear, so a total of 80,000 people were mobilized to the island of Bobohua City, plus the 120,000 people of Maria and Elva who later reinforced the Fifth Army, a total of almost 500,000, but the long-term confrontation with Arad and the barbarian country was not without loss of troops, The replenishment of new recruits was not as great as the losses, so that the Fifth Army now had 450,000 troops in Orlando Province, not counting the tens of thousands in the Lojia River Plains and the Silent Forest combined.

Divided into four military divisions, from north to south, the first army division was the fortress of Kuba in Habaisa, with a total strength of 70,000 men, including the heroic mage regiment of Wicks was also stationed here, and the more than 10,000 dwarven legions that had been severely weakened in the plains were also stationed here, and the main purpose of this military division was originally to resist the invasion of the barbarian countries; The Second Army Division is naturally the headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps in Bobo Hua City, with SMS and Lu Fasi sitting in the Chinese Army, with a total strength of 100,000 troops; The Third Army Division is Van Gaal City, where Mevo, Kolincha, and Ulin are located, with a total strength of 160,000 troops, although the headquarters of Simak is in the Second Army Division of Bobohua City, but this is the elite of the Fifth Army Corps, the Chinese Guards Battalion of Mevo and Kolincha, and the main cavalry force of Ulin are concentrated here, you know, the Chinese Guards Battalion has absorbed Kolincha's phantom shooters, elven shooters and magicians into it, and the complete establishment has reached 64,000 people; The 4th Army Division is not weak, the 60,000 people surrendered from the base camp of the 3rd War Zone, plus the 40,000 Guards transferred by Maria from the city of Zolma, absorbed 20,000 horses from the Luojia River Plain, with a total strength of 120,000, and the most important thing is that this military division has 500 royal griffins, which is the only military division of the Fifth Army with an air force.

Of course, the Fifth Army Division was the Luojia River Plain, and the Sixth Army Division was the Silent Forest, which was already a large rear, mainly to maintain local stability and transport and logistics support, to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, and so on, and did not constitute the strength of the offensive strategy formulated by SMS and Lufasi.

The Third Army Divisional Branch was stronger mainly than the city of Bobohua, and was under the pressure of the Arad attack until the north of Mountbatten was under the control of Elva, and it was not until the response of the city of Mountbatten was relieved.

With money, there is morale; After opening up the Ural Grand Canyon, there will be equipment horses, military rations, and supplies! In this way, when an offensive strategy is formulated, it will be much easier to work out, and there is no need to buckle the ropes, even if it is wasteful, as long as the strategic goal is achieved, there is nothing to blame. Spend as much money as you can where you can, and don't spend the lives of soldiers, that's a bargain.

The 400,000 troops sent by Arad attacked the headquarters of the Fifth Legion, and now there are still 300,000 people left, and if it were not for the barbarian army in the Ural Grand Canyon to contain the Fifth Legion, Simak would have eliminated this number of men and horses long ago.

Now that he is strong and strong, there is no threat from the north, and the supply line is unimpeded, he wants money and money, he wants food and grain, he wants equipment and equipment, and he wants materials and materials, but Simak is not in a hurry, so he will first spend it with these 300,000 people, and wait until his equipment is updated and full, the battle plan is thorough, and after the spring is warm and the snow melts, he will make a decision facing the south. If you do it now, you will start by startling the snake first, causing more variables, and if you are not well prepared, you will be weak in the follow-up, making the attack discontinuous, giving the enemy a chance to breathe.

……

Arad was not unaware of the threat of Higg's Fifth Legion, and he was shocked by the Fifth Legion's movements one after another. Destroy the Third Theater with a thunderous force, turn the front unexpectedly to recapture Orlando Province, recapture the Fifth Legion's old stronghold Bobohua City, and pocket the Kuba Fortress and the Ural Grand Canyon, resist the blows of their own camp forces in the south, and defend the pass in the north, at the most dangerous time of the Fifth Legion, Maria and Elva's reinforcements traveled thousands of kilometers to capture the city of Mombasa, together with the logistics supply channels of the Luojia River and Bobohua City, to turn the tide, and finally, Quietly forced the allies of the barbarian countries to withdraw from the Ural Grand Canyon and withdraw from the alliance with themselves!

The continuous actions of the Fifth Legion, which turned dangerous and invisible several times, caused heavy losses to himself, not only the loss of troops, but also the loss of allies in the north, which made Arad extremely annoyed. The Fifth Army often struggled with the problem of supply lines, but in fact, Arad was even more difficult, not only because the supply lines were not smooth, but also because they had lost the third and sixth theaters one after another, and were compressed in a place with the Guanzhong Plain as the radiation area, and the territory only accounted for less than one-third of the total territory of Aracya. No matter how rich the Guanzhong Plain is, it is impossible to support an army of more than 2 million for a long time. The Arad camp, which had lost all the territory of the Third Theater and the area occupied by the Fifth Army in the North, was actually doomed, and without other effective countermeasures, it was a matter of time before it perished.

Even if he knew that the Fifth Army was brewing a large-scale operation against him, Arad had no choice for the time being, because the pressure on Catherine's First and Second Legions on the Finder River defense line was too great, and if the Fifth Legion launched an attack on itself, he still had a large area of depth in the Northern Plain to relieve the front, but if the FindRiver Defense Line collapsed, the Guanzhong Plain would have to directly face the two million main forces of Catherine's First and Second Legions.

In Arad's eyes, although the Fifth Legion is sharp, it can only be used as a vanguard, and Catherine's First and Second Legions are the real Catherine's main army and the real threat.
