"Or maybe, this is purely a drill of the Lane Empire, purely because you are overthinking." Austin VII said.

"Besides, even if this Ryan Empire is indeed strong enough, strong enough to conquer our country without damaging their roots, it is not our turn to be in a hurry, right? The Iteo Empire of the neighboring country to the east can stand in front of us, and if the Lane Empire is really so strong, the Iteo Empire should be in a hurry! Austin VII looked at Rare and said.

This is no longer a question of trust or not, and there is no room for sloppiness in handling major national affairs, and what is destroyed by improper handling is the ancestral inheritance and the sinners of the country and the family.

The so-called position determines the head, and being in different positions will have different concerns, so it is normal for Austin VII to be so cautious.

Arrail also understands this.

So when I came over today, Riel was already prepared to explain.

I saw that Riel once again took out a document from the space ring, which was also an intelligence document, but this time, the head of the document was no longer the "dragon" totem of the Austin Empire!

This second piece of information, a roaring "angry bear" above the paper is very eye-catching!

Although the angry bear is only a seventh-level demonic beast, and it rarely has the existence of promotion, it is a very fierce demonic beast, even in the face of an eighth-level demonic beast, it dares to step forward and fight to the death.

And the flag of the eastern neighbor Eteo Empire is a totem in the posture of the roaring "angry bear"!

This "angry bear" totem symbolizes bravery and good fighting, not afraid of strong enemies!

"Huh? Intelligence documents of the Ateo Empire? Austin VII immediately recognized the source of the document in his possession.

"I went to the Empire of Ateo and talked to Eteo V alone." Riel said.

"You're right, the sudden action of the Lane Empire, the one who should be most nervous is the Iteo Empire. The other two empires are far northwest of the continent, and we are still separated by this Iteo Empire in front of Austin, and if the Lane Empire wants to fight, of course, it will be the first to do it. Riel laughed.

"If our intelligence is only a brief investigation and not enough to convince you of the ambitions of the Ryan Empire, then the intelligence of the Iteo Empire should be able to convince you."

"The Iteo Empire and the Ryan Empire were originally neighbors, and the other party could see clearly what was going on in the two empires, and the abnormality of the Ryan Empire was not a matter of one or two days, but our other countries would never have imagined that the Ryan Empire would dare to do this possibility."

"But the Iteo Empire is different, the polished ballistas on the walls of the Ryan Empire are facing them."

"It is estimated that the Ryan Empire never thought of being able to hide it from the Iteo Empire, after all, even if the Iteo Empire knew that they had that kind of intention, who would believe it when they said it? If you don't know that you will be bitten back by the Lane Empire, then the Iteo Empire will become the party that wants to create chaos, and the Lane Empire can declare war on them openly! ”

"If the division is famous, other countries will definitely look on coldly."

Austin VII flipped through the papers in his hand, and Rare recounted as he spoke.

Suddenly, Austin VII was struck by a beating.

"What?! The Ryan Empire has gathered half a million troops in five border cities?! These 500,000 troops are even all well-equipped, obviously an elite division?! Austin VII exclaimed.

It is normal for Austin VII to be so surprised, and the literal meaning of the words may be few, and only those who really understand understand the horror of it.

500,000 troops, this number is actually equivalent to all the strength of the Austin Empire!

Even if you count the palace guards and the private armies of the major nobles, you may be able to scrape together a force of two or three hundred thousand.

But what really surprised him was the words "all well equipped" on the document!

On the mainland, all intelligence services have a practice when writing reports.

That is, to cover as much content as possible in one sentence, after all, intelligence services should not write long reports, intelligence is inherently precise and concise.

When scouts and intelligence agencies detect the opponent's army and report the strength of the opponent's army to their own side, they will use a set of abbreviated grading phrases.

They are simple, ordinary, sophisticated, and excellent!

This is actually very easy to understand, in fact, this is the scout can roughly guess the strength of a certain army through the neatness, pace, equipment, spirit, and even murderous spirit and momentum of the enemy army.

Humble probably refers to some armies composed of militia and mercenaries, who have not undergone rigorous training, and are weak and even equipped with extremely rudimentary armor.

Ordinary refers to the strength of the Austin Empire's ordinary city guard garrisons, they have unified equipment, the minimum cultivators are all third-level martial artists, and after rigorous training, they know how to arrange various formation formations.

And the excellent refers to of course some ace armies, elite divisions, these armies are basically the sharp knife teams of various corps, all of them are experienced in a hundred battles, and even equipped with magic equipment, not to mention well-equipped, most of their personal strength is above level five!

As for excellence, most of them describe a strong squad composed of high-ranking martial artists, which is generally formed only when performing some kind of special mission.

Just two words can make an intelligence document summarize the strength of the army!

There are many more such intelligence texts with specific meanings, all of which were created by the founder of the Austin Empire, the great Austin I!

This kind of intelligence text has been used to this day!

Therefore, the XX million elite soldiers that are usually referred to, but the XX million "elite" written on the intelligence are two concepts!

"How is that possible?! 500,000 elite soldiers?! The army of 500,000 is all 'excellent'? At most, our country can only muster 20,000 'elite' troops! How could he, the Lane Empire, be so much stronger than us?! Austin VII realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, and it seemed that he was starting to sit still a little......

"You should know very well that generally speaking, the combat effectiveness of an 'elite' army will be twice as strong as that of an ordinary army, or even more than that! There is even a saying on the battlefield that the army is defeated like a mountain, and 100,000 elite soldiers can completely disperse 300,000 ordinary troops! In many cases, the victory or defeat of the battle is not to destroy all the enemies, but only to break up the opponent's formation and disperse the army's heart, then the victory and defeat will naturally be divided. ”

"So on the real battlefield, an army of the 'excellent' level can even be regarded as three times the combat effectiveness of an ordinary army!" Riel said.

"Are you sure this is true?" Austin VII said in a deep voice.

After all, the reason why it is easy in front is that you know that the opponent's strength is not much stronger than your own! No matter how much you fight, you can't hit yourself.

But at this time, the information in his hand is clearly written, and the opponent has grown twice as much and stronger than himself! And at this time this terrible adversary is already preparing for war!

Riel looked the other man in the eye and saw the solemnity in Austin VII's eyes.

"I don't have to lie to Aetea V." Riel said.
