Chapter 114: Help
The composition of the coalition armies on the Eastern Front and the coalition armies on the Western Front is about the same, with the armies of two countries as the main force, and then the armies of other small countries as subordinates.
On the western front were the kingdoms of Holy Lukia and Aldesia, and on the eastern front were the Kouina Empire and the Duchy of Doragunia.
And among the two countries on the Eastern Front, the Kuina Empire paid extraordinarily greatly.
As the only empire on the continent, the Kuina Empire surpassed any other country on the continent in terms of population and strength, and was able to mobilize more troops in times of war, with a total of 30,000 troops. If it weren't for the fact that the Kuina Empire was a little far from the battlefield on the Eastern Front, and the army had to cross the Colbrese Mountains when it arrived, perhaps they could have come up with more troops.
In contrast, the Duchy of Doragunia provided slightly less support to the front.
They did make up 5,000 human troops, but everyone knew that it was not the human army that the Duchy of Doragunia could stand on the continent relying on, but the many dragon elves under their command.
The Colbrese Mountains are the main habitat of dragon elves on the continent, and they are not the more watery dragon elves of the ice dragon, but the truly powerful dragon elves. The Duchy of Dolagunia is close to the water, and it is also a country dedicated to the dragon king Bahamut, so naturally it has recruited many dragon elves in the army.
It's just that they haven't used these dragon spirits in the previous wars, and the reason they give is to defend themselves at home. Even when the Demon King's army defeated the army of the Principality of Doragunia last year and directly invaded the territory of the Principality of Doragunia, they did not send all the dragon elves to the battlefield.
It can be said that since the beginning of the war, Doragunia has been fighting with only half of its forces.
Now that Frido has been sealed, there is nothing to fear if the dragons of the dragon army under his command are leaderless, and they should go all out.
As emissaries sent by the coalition forces on the Western Front, they met with the Grand Duke of Maphirion in the palace in the center of the city of Dalagunia.
Seeing the Grand Duke for the first time, Lin Yuedong and Li Qinglan had a thought in their hearts at the same time: Isn't this really a meat ball?
The supreme ruler of the Duchy of Dolagunia was so fat that he couldn't even fit his huge body in that wide chair, and he weighed at least three hundred pounds.
This is during the Demon King War, the war swept the entire continent, the food production level of the whole continent was reduced to a rather dangerous level, and the territory of the Principality of Doragunia was basically mountainous, and it was looted by the Demon King Army last year, so life should be more difficult, in fact, the logistics of the Eastern Front coalition army this year are all in charge of the Kuina Empire, and thousands of mountains and rivers will send food over, because the Duchy of Dolagunia can no longer take out food. Why does this Grand Duke eat so fat......
Corruption, this guy is absolutely corrupt.
"You are very welcome to come from afar." The fat grand duke said very enthusiastically, with a smile on his face, and even the fat was trembling with laughter, "I have heard about the achievements of the army on the Western Front, well done!" The demon king Solomon will be destroyed in the near future, and peace on the continent will come as soon as possible. ”
The attitude was not bad, and Lin Yuedong was a little relieved.
The holy woman couldn't come forward, so Li Qinglan, who was temporarily serving as the envoy, stepped forward and arched her hand: "Archduke Maphirion, we are here to bring you another piece of good news. ”
Archduke Malphilion was even more enthusiastic: "Oh? What's the good news? Could it be that the army of the Western Front is freeing up its hands to prepare to send us more reinforcements, or is it preparing to support the logistics of our army? ”
Does this fat man understand military affairs...... From the western front to the eastern front, you have to cross the territory of the Demon King Army, how can you send reinforcements or support logistics......
Li Qinglanxuan scolded a sentence, and then said: "It's such a grand duke, we heard that Fu Liduo has done evil here, which has caused great trouble to the production and life of the people of the principality, so we went to the Dragon Peak with great pains and defeated and sealed Fu Liduo. From now on, the people of Dolagunia will never have to worry about that evil dragon again! ”
He spoke impassionedly, and was full of hope to hear the warm thanks of the Grand Duke, and then took the opportunity to ask for reinforcements, which was granted, and everyone was very happy. But the Grand Duke of Maphilion, who heard such good news, did not look very happy: "Yes, that's the case, these two are worthy of being young heroes, and it really makes me feel ashamed to be able to defeat Friedo with such a few people." Come on, prepare a sumptuous feast for the heroes from the Western Front, and wash the dust for them! ”
Hearing that the Grand Duke of Mafrion was about to hold a banquet for them in a few words, Li Qinglan hurriedly said: "No, Grand Duke, no need, we are here not only to report this good news, but also to ...... one thing."
As soon as the Grand Duke of Maphirion stretched out his hand, he interrupted him: "Well, if there is anything to eat, let's talk about it first." Furrido is not easy to deal with, and you must have worked very hard to kill them. If there is anything to do, let's hold a celebration banquet to commend your merits. ”
"But ......"
"It's nothing, this is my kindness to all the heroes, please don't refuse. …… Come on, serve the heroes to wash and change clothes! …… I told the chef to hurry up and prepare, and when you have washed off your dust, the feast will be waiting for you. Haha, please! The Grand Duke of Maphirion made a gesture of invitation, and suddenly a number of maids came over and invited them to the side hall.
Seeing that the Grand Duke of Mephilion really didn't want to talk to them about anything serious, Li Qinglan and Lin Yuedong had no choice but to follow the maids to bathe and change clothes, and a not very good thought rose in their hearts:
I am afraid that it will be difficult to apply for reinforcements this time......
The Grand Duke of Maphirion insisted on not letting them speak out and entertain them to dinner, probably not because he really had any affection for these heroes who had sealed Furrido, but because he already knew what they were coming for - and was not going to agree!
This sounds a little strange, Frido has been sealed, there is nothing in the Duchy of Dolagunia that threatens their safety, no matter from which point of view, it stands to reason that the Duchy of Dolagunia should and can also go all out to fight against the Demon King Army.
But it's not that simple. If all the "reasonableness" could be true, then there would not be so much strife in this world.
One of the reasons why the Duchy of Dolagunia has not been able to attack with all its strength is because of the Grand Duke of Maphilyon himself. When he was on the Western Front, there were rumors that the Grand Duke of Malphilion was a greedy and insecure man, and that if he didn't have a large number of guards and dragon spirits around him to protect him, he would feel that he could die at any time.
Therefore, even when the Duchy of Dolagunia invaded the Demon King Army and faced the crisis of losing the country, there were still a considerable number of troops protecting the Grand Duke of Muffirion himself, and did not go to the front line to fight the Demon King Army. If it weren't for the timely help of the Kuina Empire, perhaps the country would have been finished by now.
Before, Archduke Maphirion could use the presence of Frido as an excuse to delay not sending more reinforcements to the front line and let the army protect his own safety, but now that Frido is sealed, his best excuse is gone. This was of course good news for the people of the Duchy of Dolagunia, but perhaps for the Grand Duke of Maphirion himself, it could not have been more bad news.
