Seeing that General Anton was already confident, Typu didn't bother to think about it, and he asked with a smile: "Lord Anton, you're welcome, what should I do?"

"Hehehe!" Anton and Von Boone also laughed, "To launch a military operation, there is a major premise, and Lion's Tooth City must not be lost. And within a month of the arrival of reinforcements, the situation of the battle is unpredictable, and it may change. But no matter what, it's always good to have more troops at hand. So the first thing you're responsible for is recruitment. Diego was in charge of recruiting troops in those five counties, and he had done a good job before. You're in charge of recruiting from among the civilians who have withdrawn from the Red Lion Principality. Aren't there many rebels? You have to reorganize them as many as you want, and they will all be organized into armies. ”

Dipu was a little strange: "There are still many generals in the army of the principality, why don't you let them go? they should have a stronger appeal than me, right?"

General Anton smiled slightly: "Your Excellency is an edict to the entire continent, you are the deputy commander of the Red Lion Principality, and he is his first commander." "Tipu is also a small half of the empire, and it is better to have the troops of the Red Lion Principality in his hands than in the hands of those principality generals who are very independent.

Hearing this reason...... To be honest, Dipu had almost forgotten about it. In that case, let's do something about it! So he nodded and agreed, "Okay then!"

"Very well!" said General Anton at last, "the specific plan of action will not be announced until before departure." From the information obtained, the loss of the Serlei Fortress has the shadow of a demon spy in it. Therefore, only the two of us know about today's events, so remember to keep it secret!"

"Understood!"

"Yes!"

......

The month that followed, Tipp was much busier. The operation to incorporate the rebel army of the Red Lion Principality was also smooth, and it swelled to more than 100,000 at once. Of course, the good and the bad are uneven, and the equipment is even more miserable. For this reason, Dipu even quarreled with Diego once, and finally "grabbed" a share of 10,000 people from the supplies sent by the military headquarters that could arm 100,000 people.

Having said that, Diego is now in high spirits. Although nominally, he is a subordinate of Dipu, but in terms of actual rights, he has climbed above Dipu. Diego's conscription and recruitment also did quite well, and he actually mobilized more than 200,000 people in the five counties. Moreover, the military department actually completely handed over the right to allocate materials to him? I have to say that it is indeed much more convenient to have a good status.

In addition, the reason why Dipp's work went so smoothly had little to do with the reason why he was the first in order. Those nobles and commoners of the Red Lion Principality, many of them don't even know about it. But even if they knew, they would basically ignore it. Because Dipu is a foreigner after all.

And those nobles and commoners were touched by the love of Dipp. Dip's Black-Eyed Territory is now the largest refugee territory on the continent. And basically they don't choose, all of them are accepted by households. After all, the big business group is doing business, and those young and strong men and women are more popular, while the old and weak women and children are difficult to arrange. However, Dipu is not a picky eater at all, and almost accepts it all, which is rare at this moment.

The occupied area originally had a population of tens of millions, except for the more than 1.6 million who are now trapped in Lion's Tooth City, and only more than 2 million have been withdrawn to the south bank of the Guana River. In order to cover his true purpose of active attack, in these days, General Anton organized several small-scale limited sorties, and rescued 500,000 or 600,000 civilians. As a result, the pressure on the resettlement of refugees is much greater.

So Dipu reached out again, and received another 300,000 yuan. And these days, there is a long queue of refugees going to the Blackeye Collar. It was through Diego's upper echelons that he learned that the big merchant group actually received fifty gold coins per person, which made Dip angry half to death. There is an urge to hang all these profiteers. But it's not without surprises. The "love" of several ladies for Dipu was full of spring, and secretly gave countless kisses. This can be regarded as a gain and a loss! Women are so cute!

At this time, Dipu didn't know that this little thing in his eyes would actually have a great impact in the future. Let's not talk about the future for the time being, let's talk about the war situation these days!

......

Let's start with Auroville. Under the command of Commander Kotler, the two million army of demons were pressed to the spot. Although in order to attract the strength of the human alliance, the demon army attacked frantically several times, but after throwing down a piece of corpse, it did not gain an inch of land.

Let's talk about the kingdom of Tello. The Tello Kingdom has amassed an army of more than 400,000 on the border. Since it is separated from the Red Lion Principality, which has a towering Lakens Mountains, and there are only a few valleys that can be passed, the Tro Kingdom and the Demon Clan have invariably taken a defensive position. In the kingdom of Tro, the "Conscription Order" was also issued, and all mercenary groups in the territory were conscripted into the army. And the total number of these mercenary groups has reached seventy or eight hundred thousand. Movement to the border is also underway.

The Empire's Southern Army also suspended its military operations, and is now switching from offensive to defensive, temporarily maintaining the existing defensive line. Moreover, with the mediation of the Holy See, the rebels and Lehman have sent negotiators to the Saudman city-state alliance and have reached St. Louis.

However, the negotiations did not go well. The Empire's demand - to withdraw from the borders of the Empire. The rebels and the coalition of city-states demanded that the current ceasefire line be the line of actual control. Such a request was unacceptable to the Empire, so the negotiations were still in a tug-of-war. In other words, it is necessary to wait until the battle situation is clear, and the two sides will show their bottom line.

In addition, the kingdom of Beamon has promised to send another 100,000 troops, and the elves will send 80,000 troops. And both of these forces will support the kingdom of Tro. The Duchy of Hiss would also send a wing of 30,000 horsemen, plus 40,000 light horsemen, to be placed under the command of the Empire. And the Divine Ruins Academy has also formed a group of more than 1,600 mages, and has also come to the Verona Empire.

It can be seen that the magician resources of the Divine Ruins Academy are indeed exaggerated enough. And that's not just the more than a thousand magicians, but they have nearly 30,000 followers. And that's not counting the freelance magicians who spontaneously formed a team at the Divine Ruins Academy.

......

On August 7, 3019 in the continental calendar, under the auspices of General Anton, the commander-in-chief of the newly established Northern Theater, all the commanders of the Northern Army of the Empire held a military meeting. After a day of preparation, on August 8, the troops set out one after another. And the code name of this operation - Tiger Heart. (To be continued.) )
