For a war, there are many reasons that determine the outcome of the war, but in general, the commanders of the two sides are not the kind of intelligence that is too far apart, then there are only three reasons to define the victory and defeat.

Based on these three aspects, Mo Xuan compared Flame City with the alliance composed of the Eighteen Roads and the large and small forces.

First of all, the weather is in early spring, a little cold, and it is probably starting to warm up day by day, and the distance between the two sides is not too far, basically what Flame City can feel, and the alliance can also feel it. At present, there are not a few magicians in Flame City, but there is no such magician in Flame City that can change the weather on a large scale and turn the summer into a cold winter. According to Mo Xuan's estimation, the alliance is not a place where such precious characters can be raised, and even if they can raise people, it is still a question of whether they are willing to come, so the two sides are tied in terms of time.

Then let's talk about the geographical advantage, the Flame Province is located on the edge of the Mali Kingdom and the Moon Kingdom and the Werewolf Tribe, where the geography of the three parties is blended, there are mountains, rivers, plains and grasslands, it can be said that the environment is very complicated, but whether it is to prevent the attack of bandits, the surrounding landform will be explored most of the Flame City, or in order to observe the Flame City has been around for half a year, there is no shortage of people who are familiar with the geography, so the geographical advantage is a draw.

The last is harmony, speaking of harmony is the most complicated thing, the heart of the army, the hearts of the people, weapons, armor, mounts, logistics, etc. all belong to people.

The military spirit of the Flame City is not bad, everyone is invited to fight, and it can be described as full of morale. The alliance side is not bad, whether it is for the population of Flame City, or wealth or food, the leaders of these alliance sides will instill it for their subordinates, and because most of them are bandits, they themselves make a living by looting, as long as they can grab something, their morale will definitely rise to the top, and Flame City is a big cake in their eyes, in their opinion, it is a matter of quick hands and slow hands, so the two sides are tied.

The hearts of the people, whether Mo Xuan is opening a school or improving their work in Flame City, all of this has made them inseparable from Flame City, although some people still have no sense of belonging to Flame City, but Mo Xuan believes that as long as time passes, Flame City is better and better, they are more and more familiar with this place, they will become more and more inseparable from Flame City, and in the end they will become firm supporters of Flame City, of course, this is a long time later, but now Mo Xuan is still not worried about what will happen to these people, compared to those who hope that Flame Cheng is intact, the number of these indifferent people is too small, and they can't make any big waves。

The hearts of the people in the alliance, they themselves are bandits, most of them are alone, and the few family members who have already married also understand where they are, so after attacking Flame City, what will happen to the residents in Flame City, how can they care, people are selfish, as long as their own interests are not harmed, some things will be ignored by them, so the alliance side has no one to hold back.

Weapons, armor, and mounts all belong to equipment, and Mo Xuan has a strong confidence that Flame City will definitely throw the alliance side far away, after all, not everyone can pull a large number of dwarves to build weapons for him, and these bandits who live a precarious life.

As for logistics, Mo Xuan didn't have to worry about it, whether it was arrows or food, Burning Sun City was not short at all now. As for the alliance side, Mo Xuan has not yet found out how the alliance side intends to solve it.

Having said so much, it seems that the two sides are not far apart, but Mo Xuan is still calculating another thing in his heart, that is, the comparison of the number of troops on both sides.

At present, leaving aside the army that must be used to defend the city, the army that Flame City can take out is only five or six thousand, and it will not be able to be withdrawn anymore, after all, a city of about 80,000 people is a bit small for two thousand people to guard, and this is still a chaotic Flame Province.

And the number of people on the alliance side is amazing, and there will not be too many people from the Whistling Fortress, because the Whistling Fortress is full of less than two thousand people, and the barbarians who can fight are exaggerated to count as fifteen hundred, after all, the Whistling Fortress has taken the elite mode at the beginning, who makes an ordinary barbarian also have the strength of a swordsman, and the remaining barbarian fortress can be sure that basically no one will participate in the war, because their number one enemy is the werewolf, although the last time the fishman came a big raid and the werewolf forces suffered heavy losses in the Flame Province, even the werewolf army could not do itHowever, there are still some scattered small werewolf forces in the Flame Province, and the Barbarian Fortress basically has its own eyes on them, and based on the wariness of humans, the fortress composed of these beasts will not attack the Flame City in large numbers.

As for the mysterious fortress of white armor, people didn't know what they thought in the first place, so their movements were impossible to judge.

The remaining dozen or so human fortresses are the real bandit fortresses, and they rely on a small number of elites to cooperate with a large force of brave cannon fodder to plunder one side, and the number of people dispatched by these fortresses must be quite large.

There are also two barons' teams, as well as the Pucarredo Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, the number of the other party is likely to be more than 50,000, just looking at the comparison of the numbers of the two sides, no one thinks that Flame City has the possibility of winning this war, but Mo Xuan believes that he will only win this war, because he has a backhand that the alliance side does not know, otherwise where did this news come from.

The army is like the musculature in the human body, even though it belongs to you, and you never fully master it, to make an analogy, if the army of Blaze City belongs to the kind of people who have explosive muscles and master basic martial arts, then the alliance side is the kind of strong macho man who looks big but is actually slow.

Although the strong man was slow, Mo Xuan still didn't want him to punch, after all, the attack power of this strong man who was in the alliance was not bad at all.

And at present, what Mo Xuan wants to do is to preemptively make a mess of the forces within the alliance, so as to buy himself more time.

"Ibn, you lead your men to clean up the rats around us, I don't want these dark eyes to stare at us. After a moment of silence, Mo Xuan said to the lean man sitting in the middle of the military ranks.

A bloodthirsty light flashed in the man's eyes, nodded to Mo Xuan, answered yes, and then stopped talking, and the people around him subconsciously stayed away from the man named Ibn, especially the eyes of the magicians in the hall showed a trace of disgust and fear.

The disgust is understandable, but what is this fear, it turns out that this lean man is an assassin, an assassin who is proficient in hidden assassination, this is the reason why magicians hate him, the professional characteristics of magicians determine that they cannot have the sensitivity and reflexivity of melee professionals to danger, although their mental power gives them excellent observation, but what assassins love to do is to be surprised, not everyone can keep their spirit at a high concentration twenty-four hours a day. For mages who are physically weak (as opposed to the bodies of warriors and knights, after all, how can a powerful mage not care about their health?), these assassins are the greatest threat in their lives.
