Chapter 40: Preparing for War
With the arrival of a new wave of wandering heroes, more accurate news has also arrived. At the beginning of February, Ronald, the lord of the kingdom of Snico, personally visited the old enemy of the kingdom of Quiler, and after two hours of consultation with the lord of the kingdom of Quiller in the parliament, he returned to the city of Snico with a smile on his face. Subsequently, news of the alliance between the two countries came out.
When two countries are at war, it is not a game, strength is the most important, followed by strategy and luck. Strength, to be specific, is heroes and troops. Heroes, both in number and level, do not change much in a short period of time. The troops are different, the rich kingdom has a large number of reserves and wealth, they can temporarily recruit several times the number of troops, and rely on the superior troops to win the battle. Afterwards, even if they can't support so many troops, they can be disbanded, but they will only lose some troops, and as long as the battle is won, everything else can be ignored.
The kingdom of Sniko, seventy years after its founding, has accumulated a terrible amount of wealth and the number of troops available for recruitment! Fortunately, the stone raided the city of Telliva and flattened the gap between the two sides, but the difference in wealth is incomparable to the stone in any case. It is conceivable that once the war starts, if you don't want the previous raid war, the prepared war, the Sniko Kingdom will definitely do its best to strike a blow, if it can't be stopped, its newborn kingdom will be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Four days later, York and Boulder also led their troops back to the city of Tliva. As soon as the stone welcomed them into the city, a meeting was held.
"Expand your troops! Recruit as many soldiers as you can! If you don't have enough gold, you sell all your resources and exchange them for gold! In the council hall, Stone stood up and looked at the leader and hero of the round table, and said firmly.
"But my lord, if the kingdom of Sniko doesn't come to attack us, we'll lose a fortune! We can't afford to raise that many troops! York said worriedly.
"Absolutely no loss, as long as we can survive this, we will make a lot of money!" The stone said fiercely, with infinite madness in his eyes.
"Then I agree to expand the army!" York also said firmly.
"My lord, do you want to wait any longer! What if the kingdom of Sniko is just bluffing? Lisa said with a slight frown.
"Be prepared! Once the war starts, it's too late! Shi explained, looked around, "Okay, I won't say more, let's all go and prepare!" "The city of Tliwa has entered combat readiness.
The blacksmith shop is the busiest place in the city, and the repair and reinforcement of the weapons of Medusa and the Minotaur have kept the blacksmith busy, even if the number of people has increased several times.
Although the war has not yet come, the tense atmosphere in the city still makes dozens of wandering heroes in the tavern feel restrained. The wandering heroes began to leave one after another, and by the last days of January, there were only three wandering heroes left in the tavern, and they were all left to watch the fun.
The morning workout in the city of Teliwa had noticeably increased in intensity, and the advent of war had silenced everyone, and sweat poured over the entire city of Teliva.
"Recruit a thousand harpies, a thousand minotaurs,......" Stone stood in front of the heart of the city, and said earnestly with a straight look, "Finally...... Well, and three hundred and fifty lion scorpions! After saying that, the stone sighed deeply!
"Haha...... Adults have to be stressed! Looking at the heavy heart of the stone, York said with a smile.
"Well, it's a little! Haha......" Shi couldn't help but laugh as he spoke, "Tell me about the current situation of our troops!" ”
"My lord, our current troops have a total of ...... Oh, Harpy, 1700, Evil Eye, 1500, Medusa, 1500, Minotaur, 1800, Scorpion, 500, Black (Red) Dragon, 2, and Ogre, 94. York solemnly read the data recorded in his notebook.
"Wow, I feel like we're so strong now!" The stone couldn't help but sigh!
"Adults probably won't think so after listening to me! I think of the deployment of troops like this, the city of Arest, which is almost negligible, the city of Stuart, which is about one-fifth, should be enough for defense, and as for the city of Tliva, it is the remaining four-fifths, and this is our capital against the kingdom of Snico! York's eyes looked at the stone and asked:
"My lord, is it okay to deploy like this?"
The stone pondered, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
"Then I'll have to trouble the adults to go to Stuart City!"
"Hmmm! It's a trifle! ”
"Another thing, is that we are recruiting more troops than we can afford, the current military expenses and other expenses are about 62,000 gold coins per month, and our income is only about 60,000, and my lord, now we have almost zero gold coins on hand, so if there is no war this month, then we will go bankrupt, and by then, we will only have to disband some troops!"
"York, it's okay, don't worry, as the saying goes, the road to the bridge is naturally straight!"
"My lord said lightly, in order to maintain our operations, we must cut a quarter of our troops!"
"That's a lot!"
"It's still just a matter of operation, if there are other expenses......" York saw the stone's face change, smiled, and said, "Your Excellency regrets it?" ”
"How so? On the contrary, I think that the attack of the Kingdom of Sniko should be in the past few days! ”
"I hope you're right!" York clearly doesn't agree with this view.
"That...... Isn't it wrong for us to do this, we actually hope that there will be a fight! ”
"I feel the same! Haha......" The two looked at each other and smiled.
In the next few days, the city of Teliwa became even busier, the training of newly recruited troops, and the forging of Medusa and Minotaur weapons, kept the city busy almost all night, without stopping for a moment.
Nothing had happened, the tension and depression of the great war had completely occupied the entire city of Tliva, and the people of Treva had become exhausted one by one, and while the city of Treva was anxiously waiting, the war broke out quietly.
One day in early February, a Sniko unit quietly stepped into the sphere of influence in the city of Tryva, led by the scorpion hero whom Stone knew, Borg.
At the beginning of January 833 in the continental calendar, the Stuart forces raided the city of Telliva in the snow, and fought down, and in the following month, the forces of the Kingdom of Sniko have been in silence, and in February, the Kingdom of Snico finally reacted, it quickly formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Quiller, and then gathered a large number of troops, and sent troops to the city of Telliva with great momentum, and the flames of war shrouded in the sky over the city of Tryva.
