"My lord, I know what you're worried about, the family is not isolated in the south, we have quietly contacted several allies, and as long as Lord Lanilus escapes, even if the war is not out of the question," as if guessing Lante's concerns, Lutherf added: " The Southern Islands are extremely rich in resources and specialties, in the past years, there are many families who have relied on these resources to rise, if this war can change the pattern of the South China Sea Islands, I think there should be many people willing to fight, the winner can enjoy these fruits alone, the merchants value the benefits, this is also the family's commitment to you. ”

"You mean, the South China Sea Islands want to start a full-scale war?" Rand was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this matter to develop to such a point, the prosperity of the South China Sea Islands is so prosperous that even the Duke of Winton can't ignore it, if he can get some control of the South China Sea, then the development speed of the Air Crossing Territory will jump to a new level again.

"No, no, no, you may be mistaken, the Peruvian family in the South China Sea Islands can only be regarded as medium, including our opponents and allies are all midstream forces, we alone are not enough to fully affect the South China Sea Islands, those top families don't care about this level of battle at all," Rutseff explained: " This is our chance, even the resources occupied by the middle power families are very considerable, you think about how many families covet the richness of the South China Sea, almost the entire continent of luxury goods such as jewelry and pearls come from the South China Sea, if we can win this war, the wealth and resources will be doubled......"

Rutherf's words did make Rand a little tempted, who would not be tempted by the sea of silver coins and jewels?

But he quickly calmed down, and before he saw the situation clearly, he couldn't easily believe the big pie that Rutseff had drawn for himself, even if what he said was true, so what if they lost the war?

The images in the description will be reduced to pieces.

Once your own army participates in it, you will also suffer serious losses, and your base in the air territory will be shaken as a result, and you will even lose the power to defend your territory completely.

Then Rand, who lost his army next, can only follow the orders of the Duke of Winton to return to the Imperial City and become the prince of the Imperial City again, and if he is lucky, he may be able to change his title to a prince, but what is the difference between a prince and a lord who has no real power?

When Ron or Bran inherited everything from Duke Winton, their own life or death would depend entirely on their mood, and the feeling of being in control made Rand shudder.

"I need to think about it," Lant said in a deep voice, he didn't directly agree to Rutherf, although the conditions were tempting, "how many soldiers are there in Blu-ray City, and those merchants, how strong are their armies?"

"Blu-ray City is just a small fortress, in fact, it is more like a post station, the merchant ships that come and go are docked there for rectification, the ruler is a small family, and he is friendly with the Blackstar family, his own strength is not very strong, and there are less than eight hundred soldiers who can fight," Rutseff obviously knows his opponent very thoroughly, during this time they have conducted several investigations, the soldiers of Blu-ray City are not terrible, but because of Lanilus, the Blackstar family has also stationed troops in Blu-ray City to guard," The Black Star family has three hundred soldiers stationed in Blue Light City, all of whom are the most elite warriors, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of Blue Light City, but they are all infantry, and due to the restrictions of the terrain, the families of the South China Sea Islands are generally not equipped with cavalry. ”

Twelve hundred men, all of whom were still stationed in the city.

As we all know, among all the battles, siege warfare is the most difficult, there are no bombers and tanks in this era, and if you want to break through heavy city gates or climb the city walls, you need soldiers to rely on their lives to pile up, and Rand does not have too many old bottoms, and does not want to use the lives of his soldiers to fill the bottomless pit of siege warfare.

The devil knows how many soldiers' lives it would cost to take a city.

Rand can't afford it, and he doesn't dare to fight like this.

What to do?

It's not very difficult to sneak into Blu-ray City, and the shadow can enter without alerting anyone, but the difficulty lies in how to find the place where Lanilus is being held, and even if he does, how to rescue Lanilus?

The other party dispatched hundreds of soldiers to garrison Blu-ray City, and it is believed that the place guarding Lanilus must be heavily guarded, although the shadow is strong, it is not strong enough to defeat a hundred.

The story of going deep into the enemy camp and slashing indiscriminately, and being able to escape with the hostages in a chic manner will only appear in the movie.

Rand doesn't think that Shadow is the protagonist with an immortal aura in the movie.

"What about those merchants? How many troops do they have?" Rand thought about it, I'm afraid he would have to seek some outside help for this matter, not to mention anything else, the air ferry leader didn't even have a big boat to carry soldiers, and it took too long to get to Blu-ray City on foot, "If Blu-ray City is attacked, how long will it take for them to come to support?"

"These Shang clans have the strongest strength of the Black Star Family, with more than 2,500 infantry, and some troops that are good at surface warfare, but the number will not exceed 500, and the strength of the other four families is about 1,500 people, and the maximum number will not exceed 1,08," Rutherf paused for a moment, and then added: "Their family location is two days away from Blu-ray City, and we will organize troops to stop them in their way, you don't have to worry about reinforcements in Blu-ray City." ”

The strongest Black Star family has only two thousand five hundred troops, and the other Shang clans have even fewer troops, these Shang clans don't seem to pay attention to the cultivation and expansion of the army, Lan Te licked his lips, the combined strength of these families is not as much as a legion of the Capet family, and the combat effectiveness is even more different.

The South China Sea Islands belong to the peaceful zone, and they rarely experience war, and their training for the army is far less than that of their families in the plains, and some soldiers may have joined the army for more than ten years without experiencing a war, so the combat effectiveness of such an army can be imagined.

But Rand did not despise them because of this, after all, his own army was not stronger than them, most of them were militiamen who had just been recruited last year, and the only few veterans had also retired from the Imperial City, most of them were disabled.

With such two armies, it is really difficult to say which one has a stronger combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for the advantage in weapons, Rand felt that his army was even inferior to those Shang clans, after all, the other party had strong financial resources and could have better armor and stronger physique.
