Chapter 146: The situation is not good
Huron and Prince Mirror set off, with the entire Second Legion. www.biquge.info I also wrote a letter to our strongest undead to deliver it to Ulumbes, informing the troops stationed there to strengthen their defenses and be ready to respond to the attack of the huge herd. The scale of this beast tide is huge, and if we are not careful, we may overwhelm the entire border, and we have thought of many ways to minimize the impact of these beasts on us as much as possible. We have tens of thousands of troops, but we haven't fought against the mighty Warcraft army, which is completely different from fighting humans.
Just a few days after the expected one-month buffer period, such an accident happened, which made me a little worried. Due to time constraints, only one-fifth of the additional troops we planned to have been added, the Fourth Army Corps was not yet perfected, and the Fifth Army Corps had just begun to prepare. The Kuba Legion is gathering the remnants and recruiting new recruits, and now there are less than 3,000 troops, and half of them are recruits.
As for the troops of the alliance, they are very well manned, but according to the reports of the officers of our troops stationed in the three cities, the quality of the troops of Amur and Mondona is mediocre, even the so-called elite troops are not opponents of the current crippled Kuba Legion, and the battle master of Mondona is said to be very emaciated, as the city defense officer of Mondona, he has been running back and forth between Mondona and Grandel all year round, and he is busy with a lot of things, and the deputy city defense officer is in charge of the work of the city defense officer, The training of the soldiers is also so-so, and the combat effectiveness is worrying. The troops on Grandel's side are okay according to the description of our barbarian instructor, and the perennial confrontation with the kingdom has made every (although there are only two in total) consuls attach great importance to army building, so the combat effectiveness of Grandel's soldiers is still okay, at least they can fight back and forth with half of our legion. However, just relying on one Grandel's troop lieutenant can only block the kingdom's 20,000 ordinary troops, but obviously the kingdom will not only send 20,000 people, so we still have to continue to send troops to help them on the eastern front.
We roughly calculated that if the kingdom wants to attack in Grandel, they are likely to directly send 5-100,000 troops, as a defensive need, we need to mobilize two legions and a hundred cannons to be safe, and considering the problem of the kingdom's strong people, the prince and royal knights like Philip also have to go to the town. However, because of the previous surprise attack on Ulumbes, the defense in the west cannot be ignored, and this time we don't know when the beast tide will completely end, we also need at least two legions, which is our full strength. A single defense would consume all of our troops, and even with the addition of Fang Zi and Zeng Qiang's troops, our remaining troops would not be sufficient to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise. Therefore, we intend to fill the remaining vacancies in the Fourth Army and expand the Fifth Army to ensure that there are enough support troops on hand to mobilize.
However, because of the current plan, we also have a lot of problems that need to be solved urgently, such as the already tight logistical pressure, the large amount of time and money required to expand the army, and the pressure caused by the deteriorating surrounding environment, which makes our originally easy plan very difficult.
The two oversized treasure chests have opened a lot of cards, and because of the characteristics of my rioter, there are a lot of troop buildings and main battle troops, and the main force is enough to arm half of the legion. However, considering the heavy logistical pressure on the troops at present, it is very difficult for me to implement the plan, and I am really speechless because I have the heart to expand the army, but I do not have the resources and food needed to expand the army.
.......
After another three days, I finally put down the buildings, and began to hoard food as profiteers and rich men had done in the past, and even bought a batch of specially made military rations from the dead old man of Mane for ten times the market price, and a small bag was enough for a group of barbarians for a day, but I still felt that I had been severely pitted. Regardless, I have collected a large amount of rations, and for this purpose I have upgraded the granary, which is enough for our estimated five legions to need during this period of time.
And the troops blocking the beast tide in the west, at this time, finally collided head-on with the first herd, according to Louie, who gained a vision, the horde of demonic beasts continued to advance like crazy, and the action was a torrent of flesh and blood, in front of those high-level demonic beasts that were comparable in size to elephants and far superior in strength to the former, even thirty or fifty-year-old trees were no different from short wooden sticks, and they would collapse and break in this demonic beast frenzy. And those small demonic beasts also shuttled among the beasts, shuttling back and forth in the cracks.
The prince described to me the fierce battle, our undead dropping bombs and black water from the sky, forming a band of fire and strong acid, hoping to change the direction of the herd. This did have a certain effect, and the ordinary beasts and many low-level demonic beasts stopped, and some began to flee in other directions. But when the high-level demonic beasts behind arrived, the blockade of the flames was quickly broken, and the low-level demonic beasts were forced to rush through the deadly line of fire in order not to be trampled into flesh by the big guys.
Hundreds of flying monsters rushed into our horde of the undead, and all sorts of magic began to explode in the air, and feathers and blood rained down.
The large monsters on the ground advance like chariots, our fences and improvised traps reduced to shards beneath their feet. The cannon's shells continued to spew, and the shells hit those monsters, smashing into terrible dents. The large beasts began to fall, and the smaller ones took the opportunity to rush through the gaps in the shells towards our positions, and the archers and musketeers fired non-stop, but could barely hold them out. Tens of thousands of demonic beasts are like forgetting the fear of death, and they continue to attack one after another, even if our firepower is fierce, and we will not give up.
"They're scarier than heavily armed armies." The prince commented.
"And I also found that the number of high-level demonic beasts is increasing, and the level is constantly increasing, I have already seen eight-level demonic beasts, maybe you should go and check them out" Louis told me.
"Hell, the kingdom's army in the east has also increased, and I am also advised to check it out." I listened to Louie's words, looked at the letter in my hand, and felt very unhappy.
"You should go to the west and take a look, I've arrived at something wrong, if you're not there, if you can't add reinforcements, the monster may break through the defenses, I feel something more powerful approaching through that mirror." Louis said firmly.
"Well, that's a nuisance." I nodded helplessly, it seems that our situation is much worse than I thought.
