Chapter 291: Falling apart
Colon felt that either Boris had a problem with his brain or his own ear. Boris is intending to stop mediating with Wayne.
"Brother Boris, have you been hit by anything lately?"
Boris responded.
"It's not that I'm crazy, it's that the time has come. Playing this Uncle Cat game with Wayne again in the Imperial Capital, we will lose sooner or later. It's better to have an early showdown and meet on the battlefield. ”
Coren slammed his eyes, half-shocked.
"Brother Boris, this is no joke, it's hard for our army of three-legged cats to defeat Wayne. ”
Boris said in a deep voice.
"That's true, if we fight alone, we have little chance of winning against Wayne. But I've recently recruited a force of surprise troops that will definitely reverse our disadvantage in equipment. ”
Coren asked impatiently.
"Brother Boris, tell me what it is, it can make you so confident. ”
"Magician. ”
Hearing these three words, Coren was immediately deflated and said bitterly.
"Brother Boris, you're not crazy. How much of a role a magician can play, if not, he will still be driven by artillery. I don't know how many magicians died at Wayne's hands. ”
"But what if it's a magister?"
Boris said mysteriously.
"Magister?"
Coren changed his words.
"Magisters are extraordinarily powerful, and they can indeed play a huge role, but their numbers are extremely rare. Aside from the one in the court, there were only four magicians. One of them recently passed away. Even if you recruit all three remaining Magisters, the odds won't change much. ”
Boris held out two fingers.
"What if there are more than twenty?"
Koren stood up suddenly, and said in surprise.
"More than twenty? Where did you get so many magisters?"
"You don't have to worry about that, you just know we have so many magisters. Now you don't think we're at a disadvantage compared to Wayne?"
Cologne was overjoyed.
"Now we don't have to be afraid of Wayne anymore, I'm going to publish this news quickly. Let Wayne know that we're not soft persimmons either. ”
Boris immediately pressed Koren.
"No, don't publish it. We're going to catch him off guard. Now our characters are trying to raise military funds as much as possible to force Wayne so that he can't help but go to war. So that we can have the upper hand. ”
Coren was stunned.
"That's why Brother Boris, you were so ruthless the other day. ”
"Now we just try to keep our base and don't let more nobles turn to Wayne. Then the most important task is to win over the four major armies. I've contacted Captain Shipley of the Liger Legion and Stanley of the Falcon Legion. ”
"What do they say?"
"Right now, they're not sure, and we still have too few chances of winning compared to Wayne. Unwilling to take refuge in us. ”
"Then we'll tell them about the Magister, so they know what we're capable of, and they'll take refuge in us. ”
Boris denied.
"Don't tell me, don't mention anything about the Magister to anyone but us. ”
Coren wondered.
"Then how do we convince them?"
"It's simple, if we defeat Wayne, we'll make them dukes. But Wayne's victory didn't do them the slightest. They won't be unimpressed. ”
Coren clapped his hands.
"It's a good idea. ”
This is not for Shipley, and in his opinion the best thing is that neither side goes to war, and just lives in peace. As a soldier, of course, he wants to fight as much as possible, so that he can make achievements. But if the war is already on the verge of spiraling out of control, it is not what she expected. The lives are devastated, and the floating corpses are thousands of miles away, but he has experienced it.
Now the smell of gunpowder between Boris, Count Cologne and Count Nils is getting stronger. This will directly be a war of millions of dollars, unprecedented.
The Count of Nils had advanced artillery, muskets. And the quality of the army is high, even he has to admit that those legions are far superior to the four major legions. Boris and Cologne had plenty of troops, and a large number of nobles defected, occupying the right time and place.
In general, Nils has a good chance of winning, after all, someone else has just proved himself with the battle against Situ Yad. And Boris and Cologne's army was urgently put together in the past two years, and many of them are recruits who have never seen blood. The role played on the battlefield was extremely limited.
In his opinion, following Wayne is the way forward, not to mention the support of the Queen. But he also wanted to fight, and Boris promised him that he would be crowned a duke if he won.
The higher you climb to the top, the more you will know the huge gulf between the commoners and the nobility. Even if he is the commander of the four legions, he has to be respectful to a viscount in the country. The aristocracy had supreme power to kill and plunder the commoners, and did whatever they wanted. Killings of civilians are condemned up to two times. No matter how high Shipley's position is, he can't escape being a civilian. And those nobles who are wine bags and rice barrels are born with supreme power. Sometimes God is just not fair.
The idea prompted Zipley to take a shot. With the legions, the balance of victory may be tilted in favor of Boris and Cologne.
Mars, on the other hand, did not choose, or rather he was satisfied with his camp. He and Marshall have been labeled as Wayne, and they will not benefit from joining Boris but will be ostracized. But he wasn't unhappy, and with his reasoning about the impact of the army on the war, Rune could rank in the top five.
The army group is not just about having a lot of weapons and equipment. In addition to the strength of the army, the most important thing in fighting a war is logistics. Whether or not logistics can keep up will directly determine the trend of the war.
And the logistics of the army group allowed them to use shells, bullets almost without any fears. They never run out of supplies.
On the other hand, Boris's army is too large and the backward system is incomplete, so there will definitely be a shortage of supplies at that time. It's deadly.
Of course, there is another reason, he found that his army's combat mode gradually departed from the traditional direction, and became more and more like Nolan's army. Every day the generals discuss how to make better use of artillery, or how to better attack the infantry under the cover of artillery. Correspondingly, they are armed with the most artillery and rifles of the four major legions.
If they leave Nolan, their combat effectiveness will drop by more than a little. And if he follows Nolan's reforms, he believes that he has a chance to forge an army that is on par with the group army. He was convinced that Wayne would win, but in a way that would win.
Marshall was also gullible to follow Wayne, but he hoped that the other two colleagues would follow Wayne with him and Marshall, and the odds would be greater.
