Chapter 397: The Line of Defense
Christia looked at the camp that was still being built, the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Linton Empire, plus the more than 400,000 people brought by the Sindal Empire, had been rushed all night and were not completed.
This is a time of preparation, and the enemy may come at any moment, and every minute must be stepped up to prepare for the defense.
After the two great empires merged, the other small principalities around them also continued to send elite teams over, and it can only be said that the elite teams are the elite teams, because the largest national team is 10,000 people, but the level is indeed very high, and the number of magicians and priests is dominant, after all, the total population of the small principalities is the smallest or even less than a million, and it is already very good to find nearly 10,000 troops to come over.
The key part is still to rely on the strength of the three empires, and depending on the information, there may not be many casualties on the side of the Asta Empire, so the worst case is that the two major empires in the east have gathered a large amount of combat power.
He reported the current situation to the imperial capital through his connections with the Gulan, hoping that they would send some reinforcements from nearby cities in the south.
"How does it feel to Lord Christian. At this time, a man's voice came from behind him.
Cristiana turned around, and it was the commander from Sindal.
"Everything is in order, Commander Legolas...... Just ......"
"Just what?" Legolas stood side by side with a little closer to Christiana, he had not met many times in his life to fight with such a beautiful girl, and the other party still represented the top general of another country, this was the first time!
The blue hair is particularly attractive, the side face is a little pale, probably because of the late stay last night, and the pair of clear blue eyes are also bloodshot.
Not far away, the giant bear was still sleeping.
"Our pace is so slow, we don't know where the enemy is at the moment. ”
"Don't worry about this, I've already sent our scouts to look for targets within a radius of a hundred miles, and as soon as they come back to report the situation, the Earth Demon has not yet reached such a close place, and we still have a little time. Legolas said.
A hundred miles away, that's just a day's time.
Cristiana stood on a high vantage point overlooking the entire defense process, and even if she won a day, the team would have to leave another day to rest and reorganize, and there were still some teams that did not arrive.
"Such a short distance will not solve the problem. ”
"I know that at least we can have some peace of mind. Legolas replied.
"This is self-defeat, and we better think of ways to take the initiative in our hands. "Cristian doesn't like this old and city-minded uncle very much, and he always feels uncomfortable looking at him.
"Initiative, isn't the place you've chosen now an initiative?" Legolas said with a smile.
The reason why he agreed with the other party to choose the location for defense was entirely because this terrain was very suitable and more favorable to the Eastern Kingdom.
There were few forests in the wilderness, but there were one that stretched out from the mountains of southern humanity, as well as rivers and heights, and the team relied on this geography to build fortifications on the periphery.
Sheltered by mountains and forests, much of the work was spared, and the surrounding defense just enclosed the entire road to the east, so that the team became a barrier to the eastern kingdom, exposing only the western part.
If the demons really can't attack our defenses and want to invade the human realm, they will draw the flames of war to the west...... At least it can give the eastern countries a breather.
"Isn't that the best initiative?"
No human nation dares to say that it will not participate in the attack of the foreign race, but what can be chosen is where the battlefield is, and now the battle in the wilderness is good for all countries, but if it is led to any country, it will become a nightmare for that country.
"So you're noticing that? Cristian said tepidly.
"Is there anything more important than that?" the other asked rhetorically.
Cristiana didn't answer.
The more important reason why I chose this place is that there are various natural barriers, and the team can reduce the excessive consumption caused by fighting the Earth Demon Men head-on.
Material and human resources are constantly being transported from various countries, and it seems that the leadership of each country has agreed to help unconditionally, as long as it is for the sake of fighting, even some small principalities will send out a lot of building materials.
The eagle flies by.
A soldier ran up behind the two.
"Commander, my lord, news has come from the west again. The soldier said, handing Cristian a letter on vellum.
This is the soldier who belongs to Ironhill Castle, and all the generals who will only hand them to themselves first after seeing the two of them.
"What does the letter say?" Legolas didn't rush to ask, waiting until the other party had read it.
I read it in such a short time, probably a wartime letter.
"It was sent by the Asta Empire, and the nearest city over there is called Sunchase City......
"I know the city, but what did they say?"
"They said they had also received a message from the Archbishop of the Holy Light. It seems that a commander level general has been killed in the battle on their side, and hundreds of thousands of troops are missing, and now the archbishop is really fleeing to our side with a group of people, hoping that we will send someone to meet them, and the Asta Empire will lead the troops gathered in the city of the sun to rush over to support. Cristian recounted the contents of the letter.
More than 100,000 soldiers, as well as commanders, were also killed.
Legolas looked at the other party in surprise, it seemed that the news was true, and this time the earth demon was menacing.
"So how do you think we're going to deal with it?"
"The other party is the archbishop, we should send someone to meet them, that is our rare combat strength. Cristiana said.
She hated the other party's method of thinking about gains and losses at every step, but now that she was about to face war, it was her duty to help her allies.
"Well, that's right, I'll arrange for the team to search for the whereabouts of the archbishop in all directions now. ”
"No, the letter already states their route, and the archbishop told them. That's when she handed the letter to the other party.
"Oh, that's great, I'll arrange for someone to pick it up now...... No, let's go in person. ”
"Then I'll go, my natural abilities are better suited in the wild. Cristiana preemptively said that it was safer to do such an important thing by herself, and that the hunter was faster, and it was more convenient to use her own cover when encountering enemies.
Of course, what is more important is that hunters with beast knowledge and ability have the ability to follow the wild **, and it is easy to find them.
