Chapter 854: Let's Go to War
War broke out, and the Arcane Empire was plunged into civil war overnight. The House of Commons impeached the princess like a snowflake. The House of Lords, however, remained unmoved.
No matter what the princess has done, they can't blame her.
What's more, the people in the house are all human spirits, and they understand that the princess is persecuting everyone's team. Some of the people in the House of Lords are waiting, although they are more inclined to follow the princess, but no one knows how much ability the princess has, so they can't stand up and support it immediately.
Not supported, but not opposed.
The target of opposition can only be those guys in the House of Commons. In fact, the princess's behavior is not a bad thing for the House of Commons, but some old nobles in the House of Lords occupy a lot of resources in the empire.
But the princess will not do anything to the House of Lords, it is almost a foregone conclusion.
As for the House of Commons, following the princess may not be a good thing.
The imperial capital was excited, and Princess Angelina didn't pay attention to it at all, as long as she could get the New World, the House of Lords would be stable.
Although the value of the New World is huge, the target of the House of Lords is the Half-Elf Empire and the worlds controlled by the Half-Elves. The princess of the New World can handle it, proving that she has the ability to lead everyone to expand the territory.
As for the unlucky nobles, what is the matter with themselves.
The big family in the House of Lords didn't send troops to the New World at all. Each of them has many worlds occupied, and the target in their eyes can only be other worlds.
Instead, the nobles controlled by the House of Commons preferred to compete for resources in the New World.
Everyone thinks that the main world is good, but the old nobles have long understood the meaning of the starry sky. Many worlds are the future of the empire.
On Xiahe's side, there are more than one million aristocratic troops in their hands, and now Her Royal Highness the princess is making such a fuss, no one can escape, so they can only follow Xiahe to the dark.
Xia He was happy and held a meeting here in the Twin Cities, saying that he would send troops to fight to the end against those rebellious nobles of the empire. Everyone here is worried.
Xia He sat on the edge of the round table in the conference room, around the huge round table, there were twelve people, all of whom had sent more troops, and the seats outside were all small nobles with fewer troops.
Xia He looked around and found that his morale was not high, so he smiled and said, "I'm afraid of losing troops, right?"
"Yes. The only Marquis replied.
"If you don't pay, you won't get anything. You don't want to think about it, I have a small alchemy factory over here, and I can already make all kinds of weapons, robots, and even low-level builds. Over there is a big one over the Tower of Babel. By the sea, there is an alchemy factory that is better than here, three alchemy factories, and we can produce a large number of robots. We have metal mines, we have coal mines, Your Highness the Princess, give us the magic rough stones. ”
What voice in the marquis's throat was choked back, the princess out of the magic power of the original stone?
The consumption of the war suddenly became bearable.
The magic structure on the duke's side is not sold out. Magical constructs are equipped with simple wisdom and can be used as a mage, and if they are commanded by a mage, they will be more powerful than a real mage. After all, human mages can't directly consume magic gems to release magic, and they will also be tired.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past few months, I have transferred all the elites back to Rhode Island, do you feel uneasy?"
The people around the round table shook their heads, this is not going to happen, because the duke's investment here is increasing, and the soldiers under everyone are getting better and better. The weapons and armor that I used to feel reluctant to use were all eliminated later, and even the latest recruits were not used.
"Here in the Twin Cities, we have gathered more than a million people, plus the army in the hands of the princess, there are more than three million. The enemy may have broken the tens of millions. But war is never about numbers. Our robots are more than five times larger than each other. Also, such a huge number can't all be piled up in one place, on the side of the Twin Cities, that is, 300,000 people, and the rest are in the large fortresses of the Great Wall defense line. ”
Xia He explained to everyone: "When we encounter the enemy, the enemy cannot be tens of millions together, we must arrange the troops reasonably, their legions, the largest size is 300,000 people, will not be in one place." About 30,000 to 50,000 people, a combat cluster, is the most cost-effective. ”
Xia He continued to talk little by little, analyzing how the battle would unfold. What are your own weapon advantages, class advantages, etc.
In addition, the twelve nobles in the core, some of the flying battleships they ordered are already in place.
The dukedom itself, which was also supplemented by a flying battalion.
The alchemy factory on the Duke's side can also use demon corpses, bones and other materials to create robots. The built-in bones of the current low-level robots are also made of biological materials, and no longer use metal.
On the side of the Twin Cities, the alchemy factory also burns the flesh and blood of the demons as an energy source, collects demonic qi, and makes it into demonic qi crystals, which is quite stable and saves a lot of purification costs. These low-level demonic qi crystals, if you want to dispose of them, are much easier than high-level demonic qi.
Throwing it into a star usually doesn't have any bad consequences.
If you're really afraid of trouble, it's okay to throw it away in other universes, and don't harm yourself anyway.
A large number of areas in the north have been cleaned, and human soldiers do not have to live in masks, and everything is developing in a good direction.
And those nobles, who have completely disobeyed the princess's command, now attack the territory of Musis, and then they will also attack their own in the future. The dukedom must not be left untouched.
Xiahe's war mobilization did not say too much about the benefits, but just let everyone understand the advantages of their own army and the inevitable victory.
"I now have troops in two half-planes, ready to support the war in the New World. It is impossible to lose, and I just hope that everyone will win beautifully and not lose too many troops. My army is in the rear, ready to support any battlefield. If I didn't need to do it, you'd get more merit. ”
Xia He lured him to profit, and these people who took refuge in Xia He were full of joy.
Xiahe needs their people and has begun to choose people in their territory and move to Rhode Island. But you're not worried. Because Rhode Island also feeds more than 100 million people at most, sooner or later it will be full.
The duke's army is still fighting in another world, and the demand for personnel is gradually decreasing. Once a whole world has been conquered, the soldiers don't need everyone to come out.
"This war, I will not personally command, leave it to Jack to deal with. All the armies, united under my name, are reorganized. In terms of establishment, a battalion will be reduced by 1,000 people, and the scale will be only 5,000. You can nominate the officers in your hands, and the Tower of Babel will make unified arrangements, and I will not arrange my people below. ”
Xia He explained them one by one, and the nobles listened very carefully.
The reason why there are only 5,000 people in a battalion is because the battalion in Xiahe has a thousand heavily armored knights. In the hands of these nobles, there is not so much power.
But Xia He will make up for everyone more chariots to replace the role of the Knights.
Chariots may be limited by point terrain, but the war zone prepared by Xiahe is in the middle of the continent, and there is not such a complex terrain, and the chariot can pass through most places.
Then, the nobles have a separate flying battalion, and the attack power is not increased by a little bit. Everyone knows that Duke Asla's four flying formations destroyed the expeditionary fleet of the Merriffin family. It's been a month, and there's no way for the Merifin family to recover.
The mobilization on the Xiahe side went very smoothly, and in just three days, 20 battalions were reorganized.
These 100,000 people set off first and headed straight for the middle of the continent.
Prior to this, a special engineering battalion in Xiahe had gone to a mountain pass in the middle of the country to build a special castle.
The pass is about two miles wide, and the peaks on both sides are particularly high, but the mountainous area is not large. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, the vegetation on the mountain has long been destroyed, and the demons have made this place miserable.
The engineering troops built a long castle on each side of the pass, with a width of 400 meters and a length of 3,000 meters. In the middle of the pass, a road 3,000 meters long and 500 meters wide was left behind.
Xia He is here, stationed his elite city defense army, plus 50,000 soldiers in training. Two castles, which served as battle bases for advances, stockpiled supplies.
Between the castle and the hillside, there are no gaps, and the top has been paved as a take-off point. Warehouses were built underneath as a place to store and repair flying warships.
More than 20 miles away from the mountain pass, the terrain became open, and there was a fortified city here, all square, 1,800 meters long. This place was originally built by a marquis, and Xia Ye personally led the troops to fight it. Then let the engineering troops renovate it and station it for their nobles.
This position, the most dangerous place south of the Great Wall, was well guarded, and within a radius of more than a thousand miles, the enemy had to make a detour. It's not impossible to go over mountains and mountains, but what about large equipment.
The noble legion quickly arrived at its destination and rested in Yamaguchi Castle, not seeing the demons along the way, there were originally a lot of people in this area, all of which were emptied by Xia Ye's troops. To the south of the mountain pass, the demon clan has long been gone, and the unlucky marquis has spent a lot of energy cleaning up, and as a result, the city is cheaper than Xiahe.
Flying machines are released in all directions to scout the enemy. These flying machines, supported by the flagship of the starry sky, have a huge detection range.
Soon, the nobles found a suitable target.
To the east of Yamaguchi Castle, to the south of the mountains, there is a city with a small vein in the mountains at its back. The army stationed here is about 20,000 people, and there are more than 3,000 people in the mine, who control robots every day and collect metal ore.
This city was still more than two hundred miles away from Yamaguchi Castle, and Cotton Jack immediately ordered that the army that arrived at Yamaguchi Castle should leave only two battalions of troops to defend, and all the rest went to the target location to receive the mine.
