Chapter 1575: Militaristic Attack
The militarists have a standing army, the same ten. It's not that there is any restriction on rank, it's just that you can't afford to raise more.
Of course, ordinary kingdoms also have standing legions, but they are not as well-equipped as the empire in terms of the quality and number of personnel.
Even if they have to take it out and put it on the front line, it won't be enough to die. Not to mention the question of command, so you still have to ask for help.
Maybe it will be a long way to run into the evil camp of the Western Route Army from the Vader Military State, but at least it is much closer than the people of the Gwana Empire.
Not to mention that the main force of the Gwana Empire has already crossed the Wind Emperor Mountain Range to attack north, and is at war with the demons.
It would be unrealistic to expect them to support the western side. Especially after seeing the situation clearly, I knew that even if the main force of the Gwana Empire really went to the west to support, it was very likely that it would bring the demon army that was fighting with it.
Just half of the army of the evil camp is enough to make people unbearable. If you really regard the area west of the mountain range as a battlefield, it will not become an inhabited place like the north side of the mountain range.
It's really better not to have support like this that can cause trouble. Then the best object for help is really only Vader's militaristic state.
The militaristic emperor Friedrich Bair had long supported the idea of fighting against the Abyss, and the ten standing armies were ready to go at any time.
Because from a geographical point of view, when the threat from the Abyss Gate expands, the militaristic state will inevitably be invaded by demons.
Instead of waiting for the Demon Alliance to sit big and fight to your doorstep, why not put the battlefield outside the borders.
Although the supply lines will be lengthened, they will protect the territories and people under their rule from the dangers of war. Comparing the advantages and disadvantages, there is really no reason not to send troops out of the country to fight.
Another idea is more personal. The militaristic state is still martial, but two hundred years of recuperation means that the militaristic emperor during this period has nothing to achieve.
As for his evaluation in history, is he a mediocre emperor, or an emperor who has merit in fighting demons and is one of the leaders of the human camp?
This is a very important thing for the old emperor of the militaristic state. Emperor Vida's militaristic emperor was not as old as Emperor Almin Kazarnia of the Gwana Empire, but he was also at an age that was not surprising when he died.
This meant that there was not much time left for the militaristic emperor Friedrich Beyer. If he wants to leave a great cause for future generations before he dies, there is nothing better than the one in front of him.
It's just that the militaristic state is burdened by its past reputation, and few kings or lords dare to let the militaristic army's army pass.
Even Emperor Friedrich Bair repeatedly stressed that he had no intention of subduing anyone. Compared to the glittering feats of destroying demons, the merit of annexing a few small kingdoms and occupying a few territories is a bit incomprehensible.
But if people don't agree, they don't agree. Even if it is a civilian adventurer, or a nobleman's private army, it is difficult for a person from Vader's military background to lead an army to borrow the road.
No way, the excuse that people have disappeared in your city, so they have to enter the city to search, has been used too much in the past.
It can be said that even if it is a cat, as long as it has the brand of Vida Militar on its head, it is not welcome. Now the situation has changed.
Obstacles are no longer obstacles, and the kings and lords who were so hard-mouthed at the beginning not only lowered their figures, bowed their heads, and begged the militaristic state to send troops to help.
Even the supplies along the way were paid for. Therefore, the ten regular legions of the Vida militaristic state set off at the first time, accompanied by the private armies of the big and small nobles.
The level of mobilization of the militaristic state is similar to that of the Gwana Empire, and it is almost overwhelming. Within the militaristic state, the recruitment and establishment of reserve forces has also begun.
Equip this kind of thing, and you can solve it with money. However, if we want the army to give full play to its combat effectiveness, training is indispensable.
Even if they are the strongest of the recruited adventurers, they are strong in individual soldiers, and it takes considerable training to adapt them to the fighting style of the military formation.
An army that does not train formations and queues is no different from a rabble. Of course, it is impossible for the Vida militaristic state to send out troops of this level to fight, which is not only a waste of life, but also damages the prestige of the militaristic state.
And the reason why it came out of the nest was also a decision made after looking at the results of the Gwana Empire. The regular army and the noble private army of the Gwana Empire, combined with the airship legion of the Hedel Empire, combined with some miscellaneous troops, were only evenly matched with half of the evil camp coalition forces.
Then the other half of the evil camp coalition that came towards him, the Vida military state is not so arrogant that he thinks that he can repel the other party without having to exert all his strength.
The reason why the five empires can be tied is because there is not much difference in strength between them. Bullying some small countries, of course, is handy.
But the empire versus the empire, it is a stalemate between the two countries. Look at the Karlsruhe Empire and the Haider Empire fighting for hundreds of years on the Oz Plains, almost turning the national war into an annual international league.
Although on the predetermined battlefield on the west side of the Wind Emperor Mountains, only one empire will participate in the battle. No one can estimate how many motley armies the rest of the small countries can have.
The overall strength is definitely not comparable to the human alliance led by the Gwana Empire in the north of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range. Fortunately, the demon did not attack in this direction, and the chances of appearing on the battlefield on the western side with the Abyss Lord were not high.
It can be said that the strength of the Western Route Army of the evil camp is also weak. That is to say, Vinda militarism is not unable to support the overall situation alone.
However, the actions that should be incorporated and united still need to be done. As long as there are formed troops in the kingdoms or aristocratic territories that the militaristic troops pass through, most of them are also drawn from them and taken to the battlefield.
This is a war for the survival of the race, for the survival of the race. It's not just wars because of differences in political affiliation or old feuds.
Therefore, most kings and lords are still willing to order their subordinates to cooperate. Everyone knows that cooperation is the only way to survive.
The thick thighs of Vinda Military State are the biggest guarantee for everyone's smooth survival. As for the idea of defecting to the evil camp, it is similar to the act of washing yourself, peeling yourself white, and then jumping on the table on your own.
Although there are some groups that worship demons in secret, most people are in their right minds. Even those groups that worship demons only worship demons in the hope of gaining power from them.
It doesn't mean that these people will also cooperate with orcs, gray dwarves, etc., the inhabitants of the underworld.
The former also had a slight sense of contract, knowing how to sweeten the offerings to them. And the latter is just robbing, killing, and cannibalizing, and there is no possibility of coexistence with humans.
It is said that the race of Homo sapiens of these evil camps will be driven into the underworld, not because they like to live in such a place.
This opposition of personalities and positions is the real reason why they are driven underground. And because the underground world is poor in resources, especially food.
Therefore, the inhabitants of the underworld are constantly thinking about how to invade the surface and occupy a territory to manage it.
This kind of cause and effect is predicting that the west side of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range will also become a cruel battlefield.
However, before the armies of Vida arrived, the fertile and rich towns near the river were the first to suffer.
The importance of water to living beings is undeniable. Civilizations are also born at or near the water's edge, and there is no civilization born in a barren desert.
The banks of the Great River were also crowded with people. But since the curse of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range, this great river originating from the mountain range has brought some inexplicable and inexplicable magical effects, and the people who make a living from it have dispersed.
The practical scientific way to explain the local change is that the banks of the Great River have become high-power areas because of the curse of the mountains.
And because its source is a negative curse, although it is not an abyss, it also has the chaotic attribute of the abyss.
Living in such an area is excellent for people with magical talents. Even if you have only a little talent, you may be able to break through with the bonus of the area.
As for the attribute bias in the future, it depends on whether the magic inheritance can reconcile the chaos here.
But it doesn't take into account the Magician's later achievements. The high-powered areas on the banks of the Great River are like poison to ordinary people.
Living in such an area for a long time is not only full of diseases and disasters, but also the children born have problems. Over time, the banks of the river became inhabited.
Everyone lived a little farther away. It's not that there are no magicians who find this place good and want to live in such a place.
But the magician couldn't live out of the crowd, so he had to follow the crowd away. In the end, only three or two magic towers remained on the shore, serving as the guardians of civilization guarding the water tribes in the river.
The crossing point chosen by the evil coalition is, of course, far away from these magic towers. Even after crossing the river, he did not surround or destroy these magic towers.
As everyone knows, although the magic tower is strong, it doesn't have long legs and can't run. Whether it's chasing the enemy or running after the enemy, it's impossible to do it.
Therefore, for the magic tower to be effective in the war of the Lost Land, it must be guarded by the traffic. However, many magic towers are not located in key traffic locations, but are built in places far away from civilization in order to protect against natural invading.
This is to create a belt of isolation between civilization and nature, so that human beings can safely explore and expand the area covered by civilization.
Such a magic tower naturally cannot threaten the evil camp coalition that is deliberately evaded. In fact, on the battlefield on the north side of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range, there are also many such magic towers that are still alive and have not been deliberately defeated by demons.
And around these magic towers, there are also many human beings. In the original airship evacuation plan, these people were also among the evacuation targets.
Because to defend the magic tower in war, you also need manpower. But the human beings seeking refuge are both old and weak, women and children, and these people do not help much except for the limited consumption of supplies.
So he was pulled away by the airship and replaced with a more useful garrison soldier. Old Kaveh Gong was able to fight the demons on the battlefield on the north side of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range, and the safe zone camps sheltered by these magic towers also had a lot of credit.
It's just that it's also a magic tower, and it can't play such a role if it's isolated on the banks of the big river. Even if the owner of the tower found the place to cross the river, but there were no soldiers in his hands, only the adventurers responded to the call, of course, they could not cross the river with an army of tens of thousands.
