Time passed slowly, and in the third year of the Principality of Asexu, with the gradual change of the world, the two sides gradually became unable to hold back, and the situation that was barely maintained was broken. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the side of Yadixu, after such a long period of cultivation, many tribes in the northern land have been thoroughly digested, and some policies have been thoroughly implemented, and they have begun to have spare strength. As for the Duchy of Indeli, the remaining rebels in the south were wiped out by it at this time, and a large number of remnants were either brutally suppressed or fled to other places, and the whole south was silent under strict rule, and knelt down under its majesty, and also had the power to turn outward again.

Moreover, in the central part of the country, the royal court also brazenly sent troops to attack the south, and the fight in the south was in full swing for a while.

With the news of this, the two sides began to become more and more urgent, and there was a sense of crisis that wanted to unify the north before the victory or defeat of the south was decided.

After all, as the real core of this world, the strength of the south is much stronger than that of the vast and uninhabited north, especially the royal court, as the only orthodoxy in this world for thousands of years, its strength should not be underestimated.

In this case, at the beginning of the year, the two sides fought fiercely, and a huge army began to assemble, gradually spreading around, and constantly pulling the surrounding forces in.

If nothing else, if the two are completely decided, then there will be no rival in the Northern Regions, and the Northern Regions, which have been in turmoil for a hundred years, will be unified by it to form an unprecedented kingdom.

The prelude to this battle started from the south, and Barrett, the king of Indeli, relied on a large number of small city-states flooded by the front line as a stronghold, and sent an army of 50,000 troops, plus the surrounding affiliated large and small city-states and the army sent by the lord of Moxia, nearly 100,000 people, and attacked the north in a mighty way.

Under this ferocious offensive, for a time, several fortresses fell, the strongholds established on the front line were uprooted, and the Duchy of Yadixu was shaken.

・・・

At this time, outside the royal palace of the city of Adesus in the north, a number of hurried knights walked among them, looking ahead with anxiety on their faces.

"Your Majesty, the front line has fallen, Fort Gordon has been captured by enemy troops, and the whole fort has been killed!"

"Your Majesty, the city of Hall has been captured, all the eight castles around it have been captured, and the enemy is already about to reach Cecil City!"

"Your Majesty, the Governor of Cecil City has sent news that Barit, the king of the Principality of Indli, has led 50,000 men and is about to arrive at Cecil City, and the local commander of Nadir, who is in charge of garrisoning, has asked for support!"

・・・

News keeps coming, but most of it is bad news.

Listening to these news, beside Artis, Barton and the others couldn't help but turn pale and looked a little flustered.

"I see!"

Artis nodded slightly, his face calm, and although the bad news followed, he was still calm and calm.

This attitude also made the people around him who were originally flustered have a backbone in their hearts, and they are no longer as flustered as before.

"Your Majesty, we should immediately send someone to the rescue! Now that most of our southern territory has been lost, Cecil City must not be lost again!"

In front of him, Carter stepped forward, his face serious, and said to Artis.

To this, Artis nodded: "How is our army preparing?"

"At present, our original troops have been assembled, and 20,000 people have gathered in the city of Adisus, and some people are still on the way to assemble. ”

"But..." he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "In addition to this direction, there seem to be troops gathering in the other two directions, and if we collect all the troops that were originally stationed in the south, I'm afraid that the rest of the place will be broken!"

"In other words, we only have 20,000 people in the city of Adisus that we can use now?"

Artis looked at him expressionlessly.

"It was even worse, for as the other side moved north, some of the lords who had already surrendered were shaken a little, and seemed to want to take advantage of the opportunity to throw themselves to the south, so they had to leave at least five thousand men and a legion to guard the city of Adesus, so as not to cause unrest. ”

"Even if we say that the army we can use is actually only three legions, about fifteen thousand people, plus the strength of Lord Nadir on the front line, a total of about 20,000 people!"

Carter's face was ugly, he looked at the frowning crowd around him, and said slowly.

"Twenty thousand versus fifty thousand?" Artis muttered, frowning.

In this environment, although it is the side that takes the defensive position and has the city wall as a support, such a huge quantitative comparison is still too reluctant.

"Pass the order, let Nadir recruit soldiers locally on his own, and complete the original establishment, with the Governor of Cecil City assisting!"

He turned around and looked at Bazeel and the others who were originally standing aside: "Bazeel, I will leave your legion behind to guard the city of Adisus, and at the same time, you take my order to recruit troops locally and build a new city defense regiment, which does not require them to have much combat effectiveness, it is enough to be able to help defend the city." ”

"Patton is on the sidelines to assist with the recruitment!"

"Carter, Cockus, how is your legion training?"

With that, Artis looked to Carter's side again and asked.

Hearing Artis's inquiry, Carter and Cutus glanced at each other, and then Cutus stepped forward and watched Ardis report.

"After enough time of training, and with the support of a steady stream of officers who have been screened and trained, the various regiments have basically taken shape. ”

"Regardless of the soldiers at the bottom for the time being, basically more than ten commanders, although most of them have not yet been able to breed fighting spirit, but they have also reached a critical point, in the past, it was enough to become a knight and a servant, and there are not a few formal knights who have bred fighting spirit, even compared with the royal guards from the city-state, it will not be much inferior!"

Listening to the report of Kercus below, Artis pondered for a moment, and then nodded slowly: "Enough!"

"Go down at once and put the soldiers in order, and we will go to the city of Cecil to meet them with Nadir!"

"Yes!"

With the order given, a few days later, a neatly lined procession headed from the north to the south, bringing with them puffs of dust.

And with this scene, the entire Principality of Adiss began to run wildly, and one by one the legions were mobilized and slowly assembled in the front line.

However, as the main force moved south, the originally stable territory began to become empty, and a little commotion was being generated.
