Chapter 476: Expedition

The opposition abroad, Dane can put it aside for the time being. www.biquge.info When the kingdom of Sindelair became more and more powerful, and its economic, political, and military power became impossible to ignore, sooner or later, other countries would have to admit it if they did not want to recognize his status.

But the domestic opposition is different.

Dane wants to establish a unified kingdom and end the chaos in Sindlaire, and he wants to be a true king.

And as a king, how can he tolerate the existence of opponents in his own territory?

The king, it should be said that one is the same, the supreme!

The rulers of the Beast Blood Castle and Ice Cave City also understood that this enthronement ceremony of Dane was an ultimatum to them, telling them that they either surrendered or died.

Of course, they didn't want to die, and they didn't want to go head-on with Dane's sheer strength, which had no chance of winning. But let them give up, let them really bow down, that is another difficult choice.

Until the day Dane was officially crowned king, they still didn't make this choice.

Both the Beast Blood Castle and Ice Cave City sent their corresponding envoys to watch the ceremony on the day of Dain's enthronement ceremony. This seems to indicate the warlords' respect for King Dane, but it is not.

Subsequently, when a new batch of graduates of government and business at Schindlaire University, led by some experienced administrative officials, went to those two cities with Dane's orders, they were met with a cold reception.

The local warlords are accustomed to being powerful, who wants to have an extra 'government' in their heads, and take away the power of finance, civil affairs, etc.?

Of course, they did not dare to blatantly kill the officials of the kingdom, not even to drive them away. However, when the governments of the two cities were established, the first prime minister of the kingdom, Ms. Verina, received news that the local warlords were not cooperating and even obstructing the government's government activities.

Without the support of military forces, the government affairs of the two places have not been carried out smoothly. The newly formed regional government was like an ornament, which was put on the table by the warlords as a 'vase' for His Majesty the King to see, and as for the rest, it was still the same.

In the eyes of the warlords, they have made huge concessions and show their respect for the new king.

But in Dane's view, these warlords are provoking themselves.

"I gave them a chance, they chose 'no', then there is nothing to say, my army is not raised for nothing, since they have chosen to meet my anger, then it depends on whether they can withstand it!"

These words were spoken by Dane to his Prime Minister Verina. What he meant by saying this was that he wanted to lead the army to conquer the two cities that dared to disobey him.

Verina thought for a moment and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, against your will against the tide of Sindlaire's unification, those two cities should indeed pay the price for what they have done. Still, before you go on your expedition, I think you should give them one last notice. ”

"No need." Dane said, "There will be a notice, but no matter what, my army will enter Ice Cave City and the Beast Blood Fortress." I'm fed up with their swaying from side to side, capricious. There are people who have to pay for what they do! ”

Verena knew she couldn't persuade Dane, so she gave up.

……

On September 15, 219 in the New Caesar calendar, Dane's main army of 30,000 and 20,000 garrisons were ready to go.

Three days before the official departure, Dane issued a rebellion order. The edict proclaimed that several leaders of the Icecave City and the Beast Blood Fortress had not obeyed the orders of the new king, and announced that they would personally lead the army to these two cities, and demanded that all the people in the two cities, from the generals and officers, to the soldiers and civilians, must lay down their arms and wait outside the city on the day of the king's arrival.

If the order is not obeyed, then after the city is breached, all the superior officers and generals will be judged according to the law of the land!

Three days was enough time for the king's order to spread through the streets of the two cities. Before Dane's army set off, Dane's rebellion order had already caused an uproar in the two cities.

Dane didn't care about this, and as soon as the scheduled departure time arrived, the legion was officially launched.

The speed of the entire army was not fast, starting from the White Wolf Castle and reaching the foot of the Beast Blood Castle, it took almost two months to arrive.

In fact, this is not the speed at which a normal march should be. According to the needs of normal combat, from the White Wolf Castle to the Beast Blood Castle, it will only take three weeks to die, and it will not take more than a month to slow down, so it will not take so long to walk for two months.

In fact, Dane led his troops to the Beast Blood Castle, but in fact, he was not engaged in any kind of marching battle at all - he did not look down on the combat effectiveness of the warlords in the Beast Blood Castle.

Those people inherited the old book left by Ou Ze, and when the old Sword Saint was in his heyday, the total number of troops could not exceed 30,000. After Schindlaire's all-out war, his forces were reduced to about 20,000. Among them, the most elite 10,000 have been transformed into the former Governor's Guards Legion, and now the King's First Guards Legion.

As for the remaining 10,000 people in the hands of Governor Ozer at the beginning, they have evolved into the warlords who are now entrenched in Ice Cave City and Beast Blood Castle. The strength of these soldiers is not too bad, but it is not comparable to the troops that Ou Ze brought to the White Wolf Fort to fight demons at all, not to mention that after Dane took over, the combat ability of this army has become more powerful due to better training methods and equipment upgrading.

Of course, the current warlords of the Beast Blood Castle and Ice Cave City combined don't have more than 10,000 troops. In the past two years, they have more or less strengthened and recruited some new recruits.

According to reliable intelligence, the total strength of these two cities should be more than 20,000. It's just that after being mixed in with half of the recruits who are mediocre in training, inferior in equipment, and have not even experienced war, their combat effectiveness, which was not too strong, has now become even lower.

Moreover, the Mafia Academy also found that among the warlords in these two cities, factional struggles are also very serious. There are those who are willing to submit completely to the banner of His Majesty, while others are indeed outright ambitious. And even between the careerists, because of interests or personal grievances, there is never a shortage of struggles.

How can such an army fight against Dane's army?
