In the year 749 of the Aramaic calendar, late autumn.

At the end of this harvest season, the gap period before the onset of winter is the time when the Midi is most prone to war.

Because the work in the fields has come to an end for the time being, it will not be busy until next spring. It hasn't yet reached winter, which means that the weather and traffic haven't been bad enough for people to hide at home for the winter.

In particular, the human side wants to deal with the demonic threat as soon as possible and restore the original state of peace. And after a year of brewing, led by the top leaders of the Sulitan Empire, a major battle ready to attack from three directions is gradually taking shape.

The southern border of the Sulitan Empire, which was occupied by demons, was not a traditional grain-producing area, and it was a relatively barren area in itself. This territory is occupied by demons and does not bother the empire much.

If you really want to talk about trouble, it's not completely absent. It's just that the land has been invaded by demons, and if you want to say that the face of an empire is very glorious, of course it can't be justified. But no one dared to point at the nose of an empire, especially since the Sulitão Empire itself was a country with a very aggressive character.

The Khan King of the Eastern and Western Realms of the Empire has been gearing up for a long time. Although most of the men in the nomadic tribe are responsible for the role of protectors, and the daily labor can be replaced by women and children, this does not mean that all the men are transferred to the front line of the battlefield and have no effect on the homeland behind them.

Labor can be replaced, but the decline in the number of workers is also a fact that cannot be shaken. Not to mention the fact that there were many predominantly agrarian conquered peoples in the eastern and western regions, who could not afford to be sent to the front for a long time by men.

Therefore, under internal and external pressure, the two khans of the eastern and western realms of the Suritang Empire had to consider solving the demonic scourge as soon as possible.

Another reason that made them excited was that the Great Khan, who was also from the Golden Family, was finally willing to make a move. Although it did not send an army directly under the Khan's court, it also sent several powerful follower tribes to join the Eastern and Western fronts.

'Appropriately' weakening the Great Khan's power and preserving himself is something that the Khan of the Four Realms has been working hard for. Finally, in the name of righteousness of attacking demons, if the army is in hand, will the Khan King of the Eastern and Western Realms let them eat and drink for nothing for a year, and then go back to their respective tribes!

Fight! This battle is bound to be fought!

In contrast, in the southern part of the empire, there is not much choice in the defense line composed of many small states and volunteer armies.

Even though there have been volunteers from all over the Lost Land, they are not as good as an empire, and the longer they drag on, the greater the consumption, the more unsustainable they become.

Not everyone will bring their own food to join the front. Even if someone had brought their own food at first, it would not have been possible to bring food that they would not have eaten for a year.

】

When they had eaten the food they had prepared, they bought it at their own expense if they had a little conscience. If they have no conscience, they will ask for it directly from the country where they are stationed. Anyway, they will come here to help these countries prevent the threat from the demons. Under such a premise, it is not too much to manage the rice.

However, there is a definite number of outputs in a region. When more people than the area is loaded, the people who open their mouths every day to cry out for hunger will sweep away the food in the area, like locusts.

Of course, the food that has been eaten can be transported from other regions. But even if the merchants in charge of transportation did not dare to make huge profits in front of the evil spirits, the cost of buying food would inevitably rise. After all, transportation also comes at a cost.

Therefore, from the standpoint of the human side, the defense line in three directions has the need and reason for a war, so this war is imperative.

In fact, the demon and orc alliance was not really so well-behaved this year, quietly managing the territory that had just been defeated. At least the spies of the other three parties disappeared again and again, and the lucky ones returned in vain, all of which proved how well the demonic coalition was prepared.

The more you don't want people to know what is going on, the more you prove that the Demon Alliance is definitely doing something.

Instead of letting the demon take the initiative to attack outward after being fully prepared, it is better to find a way to consume a wave first. Maybe this wave of attacks will be able to successfully expel the demons and end the Abyss Gate.

Everyone held such a beautiful idea, and let the morale and the voice of the war run high. Emissaries to and from the three fronts also became more frequent.

Despite the fact that there is a forum for this rather convenient thing. But in the past ten years, several leak crises have also made people know that the news on the forum is not foolproof.

It's just that they can't afford to denounce a certain magician who has become a big trend, and the cost of using the forum is too low to be lower, and it is in the hands of the magician associations in each district.

Of course, it is impossible for the association to smash the golden job bowl in its hand, so it can only choose to suppress or ignore these incongruous voices, and then change its own habits.

For the sake of efficient information or general communication, most of them still use the forum route. However, those vital information or messages will go back to the traditional way of transmission.

As for those official documents, they have always been delivered in the original way. After all, these things do more than just convey a message. As an official certificate, the review mechanism of the fire paint seal is not a function that can be replaced by the forum.

Therefore, when it comes to the deployment of the upcoming war, the commanders of the three fronts do not dare to use forums that are not well kept secret. Ordinary people may not know, but as long as the status is high to a certain level, and some programming language talents are recruited, they will know that this thing is just like a sieve full of loopholes.

Perhaps there is a risk of leakage by sending an emissary, but at least there are signs when the information leaks. Instead of being as silent as the forum, it is impossible to track down who has read the information that should be kept secret.

In addition to the messengers riding fast horses to and fro the three fronts, the movement and reorganization of the team also attracted everyone's attention.

The Southern Front, in particular, is seen by many as a rabble. Many of the formations are based on countries, with teams large and small, and all teams are filled into the defensive line as if they were part of a puzzle.

This makes the whole defensive line look quite fleshed out, but in the eyes of insiders, this front is not yet vulnerable, but it is about the same. Once a fight has begun, don't expect the hastily built defenses of the year to be effective except to block the enemy with flesh and blood.

There are a number of factors that have contributed to the fragility of the southern line. The most troubling point is that all the soldiers are not properly assigned to the positions where they can be used to the greatest extent according to their strengths.

Because all the teams come from all over the world, there are also a large number of adventurers in them, and they have their own partners who are used to cooperating. These people are not accustomed to the form of large corps combat, let alone being separated.

It's like the armies of those small countries, they are afraid that when they are taken apart and used, those more vulnerable partners are not well protected, so what to do? The team of adventurers who have gathered here have the same concerns.

However, if we want to change the posture of strategic defense and reorganize it into a strategic offensive form, we must change the way each team is formed today. From acquaintances to huddles, change to real combat power considerations, and then run in.

It sounds wonderful, but how to convince the original team leaders to relinquish command and follow the arrangements of the Combine command is a big problem. Therefore, the whole plan of re-organization and run-in training was carried out from spring to late autumn.

Although the results were not ideal, some of the larger teams were not so easy to break up, and new people continued to join. But the people in the Combine command were also extraordinary, reorganizing everyone into several regiments with their own characteristics. In the eyes of some veterans, it can be regarded as a reluctant battle.

The Sulitan Empire had its own system and mode of warfare, so the Khan kings of the Eastern and Western Realms hardly had to worry about this. The only thing they have to think about is who goes up first and who goes up later.

There is no doubt that the tribes sent by the Great Khan to support will be placed in the first echelon and sent to the battlefield against demons and orcs.

Neither of the khans was concerned about whether these people would obey orders. Those who will be sent to their subordinates are either inconspicuous marginals on the side of the Great Khan, or those who need to make meritorious contributions to prove their worth. If it is really very precious and reluctant to be put on the battlefield to suffer the slightest injury, such a person will not come into their hands.

Therefore, if these people are left idle, they will be dissatisfied. Under the wing of the Great Khan, the distribution of fertile pastures was not without a price. And the heads of demons and orcs would be a good proof of this.

On the human side, three fronts, began to prepare for the upcoming attack.

And on the Southern Front there was a group of young men who looked like they had just been weaned, scattered among the reorganized corps.

They don't have the full armor of a famous knight, nor do they use the equipment that looks like they're well-maintained like seasoned adventurers. The equipment on their bodies and hands was unusually shiny, as if they had just been created. And that's exactly what happened.

This group is a fellow Brotherhood led by Ezio. The equipment on his body is a high-end item that was commissioned by the craftsmen of the Technical Guild under the sponsorship of an anonymous magician.

It may not be as good as the custom-made products carefully made by famous craftsmen, but if you sell your belongings, it is enough for any child to buy a small manor and live the life of a landlord.

The sponsorship of a certain magician seems to have cost another amount of money on this group of children. In fact, with Ezio's reluctant explanation, everyone understood why a certain magician couldn't do it directly.

Of course, what Ezio said was not a real reason, but an excuse that was made up to prevaricate. But it was enough to calm the hearts of this group of children and maintain someone's tall image. Instead of allowing him to be portrayed by everyone as an image that ignores the invasion of the abyss, he can only be despised by others.

The number of members of the Brotherhood could be used as a whole, but they didn't choose this method that would be a bit nerve-wracking for the Combine command. Instead, they agreed to be broken up and dispersed to other people's teams according to their own strengths.

After all, when Ezio and the others arrived, it was already in the late stage of the reorganization of the Southern Front, and many formed legions had already begun to train in the run-in.

They are dispersed to join, which can play the role of veterans leading new recruits, and integrate into these legions faster. Instead of entering those newly formed regiments, they are still secretly poking and intriguing in the arrangement of command and officer establishment.
