Chapter 189: The Reason for the Decisive Battle
"Is that really good?" Sophia stared at Sivi, who was sitting in a large soft chair, poring through a piece of parchment: "Leave that girl in Golovito?" Did they help you block the fatal blow? β
Although judging from the content, she seems to be complaining about Shalan, but even an emotional idiot like Sivi knows very well that if she really shows any bad intentions to Shalan, I'm afraid Sophia will immediately turn against him......
So he calmly folded the parchment note in his hand, then suppressed the feeling of emptiness in his heart, and looked at Sophia without fear and said, "What we are under our feet is the academy, and we are going to the battlefield. Sharan was neither a student or a teacher here, nor was she someone who should have rushed to the battlefield, so there was no need to bring her. β
"Hmph~" Sophia snorted lightly in disbelief at Sivi's answer, but judging from the results, Sivi still managed to get through the trick.
"But why are we going to give up the rest of the place and go straight to Cromorabhi? There are many places along the way where the fighting hasn't stopped, right? After chatting about personal matters, Sophia sat back on the couch and began to discuss business with Sivi.
After all, the girl is still very knowledgeable, and she won't make a mess of official affairs because of private matters.
"I just received a letter from Her Royal Highness Princess Evantelin." Sivi wiped his cold sweat silently, and then pushed the parchment note he had just folded to Sophia: "You can also take a look." β
There is already ordinary paper in this world. But that kind of paper is a product of alchemy. The cost is much more expensive than the kind of paper made by Cai Lun during the Eastern Han Dynasty of the Celestial Empire.
Of course, that amount of money is nothing to the average nobleman, let alone the royal family, you must know that in the library of the National Academy of Magic of Oulien, paper books account for as much as eighty percent of the total collection.
The reason why Her Royal Highness used parchment instead of ordinary paper was actually because the letter was sent by a vulture.
Unlike birds such as the letter kite white-headed owl, which are often used to deliver messages, the letter vulture was formerly known as the South Sea eagle, and its flight speed can throw off the letter kite white-headed owl for several streets, including monsters, and can rank in the top ten among known birds!
And this bird is fierce by nature. When it flies in the air, even some small monsters don't dare to mess with it, and it can be guaranteed that there will be no such thing as a letter kite, and the bird will be eaten by some carnivorous bird before the letter is delivered...... In fact, the probability of this kind of bad thing happening is quite high.
But because of this, the letters carried by this bird also have to be put to the test. In the case of ordinary paper, I am afraid that due to various reasons, it will already become tattered by the time it is delivered, but the more backward but stronger parchment paper can be preserved more completely.
"A decisive battle? Why did you make such a decision at such a time? Sophia saw the message written on the note, her mouth opened wide, and it took her half a moment to close it again, she blinked her eyes a few times, and asked Sivi incomprehensibly, "Now that Julianne is already at a disadvantage in the war, right?" Why do you have to send local armies to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, so that you are not afraid that the entire empire will be gradually eroded by the vampires! β
"I think it's because I'm afraid of being eroded that I made this decision." Sivi touched his chinβhe had a stub on it because he hadn't shaved in a whileβas he sorted out his thoughts. While telling Sophia his conjecture: "Compared with the vampire army, the local army is definitely inferior to them in combat effectiveness, although it can continue to be stalemate at this stage, but after the surrounding countries fall one after another, the Julian Empire as a whole will be in a very dangerous situation, so just start drawing troops from the local area now, hit the combat power and fight a big battle." ββ¦,
"It would be a good thing if the vampires were to fight, after all, this kind of super-large and dense combat is more suitable for magicians than scattered armies - even if Lady Sharon is to sit in the Angora Mountains to prevent the orcs from wading into the troubled waters. Dean Bruno's strength alone is enough for those vampires to drink a pot. Magicians alone can easily reverse the unfavorable situation when dividing troops. β
Speaking of which. Sivi noticed a smile of pride on Sophia's face.
It seems that although this girl has been saying that she wants to break off her relationship with the Lange family, she actually has some feelings for the family.
"But those vampires can't come out, right? It's like what I just said, if you rely on superior forces to occupy the area directly......" Sophia immediately asked Sivi.
Despite the mess in his mind, Sivi didn't panic at all, and immediately replied, "If those vampires don't plan to gather together for a decisive battle, that's even better." It's better that this is the most favorable situation for the royal family of Julianne at the moment, although it is not a good thing for the people in some areas. β
Even if some troops were transferred. The various regions still retain their combat effectiveness, and in addition to the military establishment. Lords and chambers of commerce in various places have private soldiers, and when faced with a combination of vampires and demons, even profit-oriented merchants will resist at all costs. What's more, in addition to this, there are civilian combat power such as mercenaries......
In short, even if some troops are deployed, the local combat strength can still continue to stalemate with the enemy for a period of time. And the center, because of the accumulation of powerful forces, can crush and defeat the troops of the conventional enemy in the shortest possible time! Even if some places are occupied by vampires, as long as this kind of absolutely superior army comes forward, it will definitely be able to expel and annihilate it with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves. In the end, it only takes a few repetitions of such great victories, and soon the Empire's advantage will accumulate to a point where it cannot be reversed, and at that time, even if the vampires come back and plan to gather, it will only be a dish, and there is no way to change their doomed end.
"According to what you say, don't we have no need to come forward at all?" Sophia asked strangely, "No matter what you do, it looks like the empire will win......"
"Theory is just theory, and there are many factors that will affect the final result." Sivi shrugged, "Anyway, you just need to take this battle as a shining chance for our Adric Academy." β
He stood up from the wide soft chair, stared at the sentry towers under construction in the crystal ball on his desk, and raised his eyebrows with a little smile on the corner of his mouth: "Can we let our name be known to the entire Eastern Plains, this is it!" β
In the face of Sivi's bold words, Sophia took a sip of black tea and calmly asked Sivi, "The last question." β
"What?"
"What the hell is that puppet we brought back for?"
"Forehead ......"
Originally, it was planned for Alice to learn puppetry, but now I don't have that spare time.
Sivi was teary-eyed, and at the same time silently cursed in his heart for the damn vampires who started a war for Mao so early...... (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
