Chapter 1313: Partition
Stoke is a very flexible vampire, otherwise he would not have been recruited by the goddess of doom, and after he discovered the powerful Overworld, he refused to go back, even if in his world, he had ancient castles, armies, and huge forces.
He wants to develop here, he wants to attach himself to the strong, and then go back, take the place of his master, and conquer his own world.
The exploration of the underground world is quite slow, and Li Anna is not in a hurry to go deeper, but will walk around each floor, let the construction be recorded, and there are many magic tests.
Li Anna is not in a hurry, and others have nothing to say.
Angelina's royal alliance has approached Silver Goose City. The blocking of the Rodriguez Academy only slowed down the attack. And since being intimidated by a heavily armed brigade in Rhode Island, Rodriguez Academy has rarely used magic traps to ambush.
At least not on that scale, and the academy mercenaries were clearly a little intimidating.
When the coalition forces had a large brigade, Rodriguez chose to abandon frontal confrontation and instead harass on the edge. However, the number of warships of the coalition forces is large, and if they are not harassed, they will also be left behind.
The territory of the Fontaine family was specially taken care of by the coalition forces, and it was cleaned up inch by inch.
The main force of the Rodriguez Academy, in the territory of the Fontaine family, fought a flesh-and-blood battle with the coalition forces.
Unlike the academy mercenaries, Rodriguez's main force is well-armed, similar to that of Metatrin's allies, and the soldiers are purely professional.
There is no strategy to deal with this, it is purely a matter of hard command ability.
The magic net of the coalition forces is well laid, and the speed of flying battleship support is fast. The ground forces on both sides were about the same in combat, but Rodriguez was unable to keep the Fontaine family.
The coalition forces bulldozed every castle of the Fontaine family, and the members of the Fontaine family were not left.
The magic ballista is a powerful weapon that can be used to kill large troops, or it can be used to kill and damage the enemy's strong men. Flying battleships are weapons that even legends can't catch up.
Rodriguez's main force can only desperately interfere with the communication of the magic network, so that the support of the coalition warships will be delayed.
However, it is not so easy to form a local superiority in troops, and if you are not careful, you will be swallowed up by the coalition forces in turn. Rodriguez still hasn't made up his mind to fight attrition, and most of the time, when the situation is not good, he will withdraw the human soldiers, leaving the robots and constructed troops behind.
In fact, this is also the way the coalition forces operate, which is not surprising.
But in this way, Rodriguez gradually lost a lot of territory, although the casualties of the human soldiers of the main force were not so serious, but it seemed that they were losing one after another.
On Smith's side, the battle report is based on the most important marked part, and in most cases, it is the self-determination of the legion commander below.
Smith assigns tasks, they carry them out, and as for the specific planning, there is a staff headquarters below, some of whom are from major families, and some of whom are from the staff groups around the life structure.
Smith's business, not so much, he just followed the main force, like a mascot.
But no one dared to despise this mascot, and since the destruction of the ancient castle of the Fontaine family, the enemy never thought of defending the city. The state of urban defense will definitely not put the main forces in one position, but disperse the defense. The walls were broken, and street battles were good.
Last time, it was the main mage group that was almost wiped out.
The ratio of battle losses between the two sides has gradually reached a ratio of two to eight, and the losses of the coalition forces are getting less and less, and they have already gained experience and become a strong army.
The part of the loss was basically caused by a collision with the main force of Rodriguez.
The enemy is strong enough to a certain extent, it is impossible to win easily, and Rodriguez's learning ability, as well as the elite level of the army, are similar to Metatrin.
As for Metatlin, because of his preparation, he exchanged technology with Rhode Island and improved the robot a lot.
In this conflict, Metatrin was able to gain the upper hand.
Even so, Rodriguez's stealth technique, the magic trap, caused a painful loss to Metatrin.
If it hadn't crashed into the heavily armed brigade in Rhode Island, Rodriguez's tactics would have lasted for a while. It's just that up to now, most of the high-level robots on the Rhode Island side have been replaced. Many of them have to go back to the alchemy factory for maintenance, and if they continue to be used, they will be destroyed.
Not to mention low-level robots, but the demon dying is the most rewarding, most of the demon dying have devoured the destroyed companions, the level has been improved, and after returning to the factory for maintenance, you can upgrade from level five to level eight. And on the battlefield, there are not many robots that have been completely destroyed.
Because the coalition side is the victor and has the right to clean up the battlefield, the other side leaves the robot troops to flee for their lives, and can only watch the coalition side collect the spoils.
To this extent, Rhode Island invested 40 million gold coins in materials before and after.
On the loot, less than 10 million gold coins were recovered. Won, and also burned 30 million gold coins.
However, Rhode Island is not in a hurry at all, and the territory of the Xia Dan family, the treasury of the main city and several big cities are still being counted. What is the spoils of war on the battlefield, the treasury of these big nobles is the bulk of the income.
The main city was fought down by Rhode Island, and it must have gained the most.
Smith personally took action, directly entered the main city, and cut off the otherworldly passage with a sword. The other side did not even have a chance to transfer supplies. After Smith did this, he also took care of the most secret treasury in the main city, which was full of energy-type gems.
Smith had a flying fleet on the spot, escorting the gems, to Cape Storm.
It's useless for others to be red-eyed, Smith is too fast, and if he is done with this, the attack outside the city has not yet begun. When Rhode Island conquered the main city, the troops from other sides arrived, and it was not easy to compete with Rhode Island for anything.
Smith doesn't eat alone, and the large cities along the way are all attacked by everyone.
On the side of the main city of the Fontaine family, they even ordered to attack at the same time, but Rhode Island, using warships to transport troops, is crazy to rush at the same speed, which is something that other families can't learn.
For example, the Fontaine family also has a lot of resources from another world, and if they can be defeated, it will be a windfall.
The coalition forces were able to attack with the strength to do so entirely because of such gains along the way. Otherwise, the consumption of other families is almost twice that of Rhode Island, about 80 million gold coins, who can afford to spend so much?
You must know that the restoration of the floating city in Rhode Island is only a loan of 400 million gold coins.
At such a rate of burning money, if you take down Silver Goose City, I am afraid that every family will burn a billion gold coins. From this point of view, Xia He is right, there is no point in fighting, there is no time to do it, it is better to engage in construction.
The six major families, and some of the harvest, which cannot be obtained for the time being, is the land that has been beaten, Princess Angelina, but it costs money to buy it from them.
The royal legion is not counted, but the six major families are defeated, and the princess cannot take it for nothing.
This is not a small amount of money, the six major families are willing to work hard for the princess, it is because there are interests. Otherwise, how good it would be to keep these lands for themselves, many places, and mines.
For example, the mine is worth ten gold coins, and after the coalition forces are defeated, Princess Angelina, two gold coins can be bought, and then one or two gold coins of materials must be invested to resume production. In fact, there is a large majority of the profit. On the side of the six major families, they don't need to put into production, they can get 20% of the profits, and they are also satisfied.
The princess does not suffer a loss, and by operating the mine, she can still feed a group of people, and the money invested is not spent in vain.
Then, the real gain is the right to speak.
The princess's coalition army has conquered so many places, and it is not that the princess spends money herself, but there will be some people who are willing to invest in the war and contribute people, and these people will have higher titles and more land when they turn back.
In this war, there were many viscounts, counts and even marquises, who came to the princess. Some people have taken out all their family savings, at least for now, and they have succeeded.
Because they don't follow the princess, the place where the princess's army passes is really not a single grass.
All the nobles were ransacked, and in the end it was not a matter of leaving the family in vain.
The six major families don't care about this, they want the final victory, and now as long as they can maintain the balance of war attrition, they don't make money. Win, it's all small money.
In the magical world, money is a thing, it is a financial means created to obtain resources.
With enough land and enough high-quality population, more powerful magicians will be cultivated for the family, and a virtuous circle will make the family stand tall.
So Smith made an extra shot just once, and he was trying to break even. If the Fang Dan family transfers materials, it will not be easy for Rhode Island to break even after the fight in Silver Goose City.
On the other side of Silver Goose City, it is obviously not a broiler like the Fontaine family.
The god of magic, even if he loses, will not leave any wealth for everyone.
The commander of Rhode Island also has to read the battle report every day, and at his level, he is not only watching the war in the middle of the empire, but also the war in the Northland.
In the northern region, the Fire Raven Legion attacked the city and pushed it all the way, and the consumption was not small. But when the north is defeated, it is all its own, the resources are relatively rich, and there are many mines, so it will not suffer any losses. It's just that the mine is a long-term gain, and the plundering of the nobility is a short-term wealth.
The daily consumption of the army, the biggest head is the magic rough stone, the raw coal crystal. Then there is Lingmi, and then there are weapons and equipment.
Looking at the list every day, rows of supplies are missing, and as a corps commander, it is also very painful.
Looking at the loot again, it is obviously not enough to fill the vacancy.
But when he saw some of the warehouse data that had been counted, he felt a lot more at ease. It's just a few small warehouses, which can make up for most of the losses, and the bits and pieces below are not calculated, and in fact there are a lot of gains.
This battle, and there are still fights. The income on the Northland side is obviously higher than on this side, because there are no decent enemies in the Northland, and there are no roadblocks like Rodriguez.
