Chapter Seventy-Nine: Invitation
So in fact, the Wagner Kingdom has far less troops, the closure of the pass makes it impossible for civilians to pass through, and most of the soldiers in the war are temporarily conscripted, so they are not willing to abandon their families and leave the province of Belloc alone.
About 200,000 soldiers were left outside the checkpoint for this reason, becoming useless combat power.
This is a big disadvantage for Wagner, they can't give up the victory pass and fight a field battle with the kingdom of Karis, so they can only pray that these soldiers scattered in the province of Bellok can consume the enemy's living forces as much as possible.
In this war, the soldiers on both sides were mainly divided into professional and non-professional soldiers.
Non-professional soldiers refer to soldiers who have not undergone professional training, but have been temporarily transferred from adventurers, mercenaries, etc., and their combat effectiveness is strong and weak, but there are still great deficiencies in general.
Professional soldiers are composed of noble private soldiers and kingdom troops, etc., who have been professionally trained, have a certain ability to fight in groups, and are well-equipped.
The ratio of professional soldiers to non-professional soldiers in the five countries is about 4 to 6, and although the population of the Wagner Kingdom is small, because the war is fought on its own soil, the city guards used to defend the city can also be mobilized.

Next.
"Billaire, is the message accurate?"
In the noisy tavern, the disguised Sean took the wine glass, touched it lightly with Bilaire, and then drank it all in one gulp, and asked with some solemnity.
"That's right, it's noon today."
Billaire gave him a reassuring look, "Will this be worse?" My cousin's relationship with me was not ordinarily good. ”
"Let me tell you, it's really cost-effective to join the army now, no matter what the outcome of this war is, the 300,000 troops and a large number of cities in Belloc Province can't run away, it's all a walking military feat."
"Those official-level and master-level adults have really invested heavily this time, a little military function can be exchanged for a silver coin of materials, and we apprentice-level professionals can complete a task casually, that is, thousands of points!"
"Not to mention an alchemy mage like you, this is the most lacking talent in the army, whether it is the war equipment damaged in the battle, or the supply of potions to professionals who operate in the form of squads, it is extremely important."
"I dare to guarantee that as long as you are willing to join our Silver Eagle Legion, every month of the war, you will be able to get military merits worth more than 1,000 gold coins.
"The most important thing is that once this war is won, all military merits will be directly doubled, which is not a small amount, if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get a lot of wealth in the future."
Sean smiled noncommittally, feigning hesitation.
In fact, participating in the war was something he had already decided, but he couldn't agree so readily, especially when the other party had a request for him, but he didn't know that he also wanted from the other party.
It has been 11 months since he came to Hogle City, and on the way to Hogel City, he once walked with Bürel for nearly half a month.
From daily contact, Sean also gradually learned some things about Bilaire, and the purpose of his coming to the Kingdom of Karis, etc.
……
It all started a long time ago.
Biller's ancestors were once the great nobles of the Wagner Kingdom, and the surname Bess was also well-known in Wagner's royal capital at that time.
Although there are no formal-level professionals, the double-digit number of trainee-level professionals has also made the Bess family's power in the royal capital stable.
Unfortunately, in a political turmoil, the Bess family was framed by their opponents, and although they were not exterminated because of the protection of the noble title, they were also deprived of all their wealth and titles, and only a small part of the clan escaped.
Billaire was still young at the time, but he also had a talent for becoming a professional, so he was sent to the province of Belloc to escape his life.
His cousin's name is Nolan Bess, and he was only an apprentice warrior when the Beth family was dissolved, and he had no solution to the family's crisis.
In fact, he also had to be glad that his professional level was still very low at that time, because all the apprentice-level professionals of the Beth family had been purged by hostile forces, and if he had the current strength at that time, it was a question of whether he could get out of the Wagner Kingdom alive.
Yes, forty years later, Nolan Beth is now a level 17 apprentice-level warrior, one of the deputy captains of the Silver Eagle Legion in the Kingdom of Karis, and even the allegiance of the Silver Eagle Legion, the full-ranking warlock - Mikhaili Strickland, knows his name.
One of the reasons why the Silver Eagles chose to take a detour to Hogle City this time was Nolan's suggestion.
Although his cousin is only a side descendant of the Beth family, since Bilelle has become a professional and may be promoted to the rank of apprentice, he can't leave it alone.
And Bilair is also very shrewd, he knows that if he has only one person, although because of Nolan's relationship, he can mix up military exploits, but after all, there is not much affection between relatives, and he hasn't seen each other for a long time, so Bilaire also wants to show himself in front of Nolan and wants to get more attention.
Billaire thought about it and found that the easiest way to invite merit was to bring his former companion, the mage named Sean, into the army, after all, alchemy mages were in urgent need of them anywhere, and Nolan would definitely welcome him to join.
Therefore, Bilaire took the initiative to ask someone to find Sean a few days ago, and expressed his intention to Sean, in fact, even if he didn't look for it, Sean would take the initiative to visit in a few days.
After hearing the news, Sean's first reaction was to laugh, and then he began to think about whether he could get some benefit from this, or save some trouble or something.
"Okay, for your sake, then I'll go with you to visit Deputy Commander Nolan when the army enters the city."
"But you have to help me solve a bunch of troubles here, and I gave up such a safe life because of your request, you can't express it?"
Sean blinked, a little embarrassed.
"What does it matter, you don't have any contracts or debts, do you?" Bilaire looked at Sean inquiringly, and when he received a negative answer, he instantly became a little smug.
"In that case, you can just come, the Silver Eagle Legion has 50,000 elite soldiers and nearly 20 apprentice-level professionals, unless that Count Satuk is tired of living, how dare you play small tricks."
