Chapter 369: Don't take an example
As a senior professional, there wasn't much Rogge could do.
Within the empire, although Rogge has the title of honorary earl, his prestige only exists in three places: Karonde Territory, Holker City and Garin City, and only his own territory Karond Territory is really willing to fully support him.
At the level of a teenager, with the help of Filia and Matilda, half a year of governance was enough to bring the people of the territory to their hearts.
But how much power can a county have? The Karonde Territory was in a semi-deserted state without an owner, and it was very difficult to recover in half a year, and it could be said that there was a lot of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and there was a shortage of manpower.
The standing army is 50,000 people, and the large-scale conscription is expected to add 50,000 new soldiers, which is almost the limit of the number of troops that the Karonde Leader can provide, and it is a drop in the bucket for a large-scale war.
Of course, these 50,000 standing troops are no more effective than the troops that have been guarding the border for many years.
Not to mention the recruits, who have almost nothing but a passion that quickly subsides after seeing the brutality of the battlefield.
To put it mildly, most of the recruits are cannon fodder, and the standing army is a little more powerful cannon fodder.
The real combat forces under Rogge are the knights that Philia helped him establish, and the hundred tarantulas.
Filia selected a group of reliable Burning Sun Knights as the backbone of the Knights, selected elite and high-potential warriors from the standing army to be incorporated into the Knights, and personally trained them for half a year, and their combat power improved rapidly, only one line short of the Red Flame Knights.
The name of the Knights is Frostwind Knights, and the name given by Filia is taken from the two magic systems mastered by Rogge, and the number is not large, only two thousand.
The head of the Order is none other than Myron, a loyal follower of Filia.
Myron broke through to the king level in the previous war, has strong strength, high prestige, and is fully qualified for the position of regimental commander.
As for a hundred cantollas, this is the most powerful force under Rogge, and each huge cantazara has the strength to fight with ordinary martial kings, and it is extremely strong.
What's even more terrifying is that they are no longer savage monsters, but warriors with a sense of team combat, whether as the backbone of the battlefield or the arrows of the charge, they are very powerful.
At present, the team of cantollas, led by the new patriarch Bonian, has reached the northwest border, and is stationed in Fort Hosiran, the middle of the three giant fortresses, very close to Fort Hofra.
Rog planned to take the time to meet Bonian and prepare the wolfspiders mentally. After all, once the war begins, the powerful sky tarantula will inevitably become the enemy's key target, and the survival rate is worrying.
Rogge could already imagine Bonian's answer, and he would have said in a strange way:
"Marshal, we will fight to the top, and at the next moment, we will live up to the prestige of the first and third clan."
50,000 standing troops, 50,000 recruits, the Frostwind Knights, the Sky Wolfspider, Rogge will definitely let them go to the front, without experiencing the baptism of war, they can't become an iron army, sacrifice...... No matter how inevitable it is.
Under the big war, no one can be left alone, and the strength retained at that time will also be destroyed after the northwest defense line is breached.
Can you use other powers besides your own strength?
Rog's allies include the Burning Sun Family, the Viper Family, the Calendula Family, and the Chamula Kingdom.
The first three families were all part of the empire, and Charles's military order had already been issued, so he didn't have to worry about it.
The Spider Kingdom of Chamura has an agreement with the Empire, and Rosnia must understand the truth of her lips and teeth, and she will definitely support it with all her might.
Rogge also asked Rosefara to go back, believing that Rosenia would pay more attention to it, and might even lead the army in person.
Other friends who have not yet reached allies are: the Holy Cross Family and the Bauhinia Family of the Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom, the Spirit Beast Secret Garden, and Helena.
The Holy Cross family and the Bauhinia family don't need to think about it, the war between the Spirit Evoking Holy Kingdom and the Scarlet Holy See has continued until now, and the army can't leave. And with the distance between the two countries, by the time the army was in place, the war would have already begun.
The Spirit Beast Secret Garden can fight for it, the Nine Colored Divine Phoenix has a "mother's" relationship with everyone, and he likes Ou Fei Na so much, he should be able to help.
And it is a matter of the safety of the whole world, and Shenhuang will not sit idly by.
Rogge's relationship with Helena is really limited to a person, and has nothing to do with the Azure Sea Kingdom behind her.
Although Emperor Charles may have reached a secret agreement with Helena, in the hot northwest of the empire, the Sea Clan may be able to exert less than seventy percent of its combat power, and it is not suitable for support.
And when the two contacted each other a few times, Helena was busy slashing and slashing, and the danger in the sea may be greater than that on land.
So now the most promising thing is the Spirit Beast Secret Garden, by the way, ask the Spirit Calling Holy Country, and tell Helena the news of the Holy Descent Gate.
Rogge cleared his mind and touched Orfina's little head, "Nana, let Xuanqing go to the Spirit Beast Secret Garden, tell Shenhuang about these things, and ask for her help." ”
"Okay. Xiaocai likes me so much, she will definitely help! ”
"Well, let's go to the Doma River later, it's a tributary of the Nalan River, and we can talk to Helena with the end of the conch."
"Okay, I miss Sister Helena too."
"Brother Rogge." Roya Farah was ready to go back to the roof and say goodbye to Rogge, "I'll go first, I'll be back as soon as possible." ”
"Little Farah, don't worry, help your sister well." Orfina hurriedly said.
"Sister doesn't need my help, I'll finish the matter of the space enchantment and come back immediately!" Rosefarah emphasized, "Brother Rogge, the Gate of Sacred Descent is a miracle of space, and you don't want to be surrounded by anyone who understands the power of space, right?" ”
I know it myself......
Rogge asked Roya Farah all the things that should be asked and what should not be asked in the space of the Divine Tree, and his understanding of space was not much worse than that of Roya Farah.
But these are all theoretical knowledge, he hasn't even absorbed the power of the Divine Illusion Fruit, and his spatial ability is much weaker than that of Raya Farah, so it's better for her to be by his side.
"Okay, come back as soon as possible, we'll wait for you." Rogge Dao.
"Hmm!" Rosea Farah said happily.
"Nana, let Xuanqing send little Farah there."
"Oh." Orfina pursed her lips and reluctantly summoned Xuanqing.
"Xiaoqing, stay safe! When you come back, we probably won't be at Fort Hofra anymore, don't worry, you can know my approximate location through the Spirit Covenant anyway. ”
"Nana, you have to pay attention to safety." Xuan Qing said in the voice of her eldest sister, "The disaster of the world, Shenhuang will definitely not sit idly by, I will come back with reinforcements." ”
"Xiaoqing is so handsome! mua~" Orfina snorted on Xuanqing's beak. Wind
"Phew!" Xuanqing flew away with Rosea Fara in the air, and under the sun that had become hot, the six colors on her body flowed and rotated, like the light of hope.
As Roya Farah and Xuanqing set off, Rogge took Orfina downstairs and was confronted by a spirited Lent and a slightly tired Madeleine.
Orfina pursed her lips and trotted over to kick the big guy in the way, giving Madeleine a blessing and healing, staring at Lent fiercely.
Rogge patted his buddy on the shoulder, "Lunt, something is wrong." ”
Lent squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Hey, hey, what's the matter?" I just had a great night of work! ”
Hearing this, Madeleine blushed and spat at him.
Rogge: "...... Forget it, it's useless to talk to you. Madeleine, you and Lent go to the Calonde Territory to help Uncle Mai gather his army. ”
Rog gave Madeleine his lord token and told her about the Gate of the Descent.
"Got it." With Orfina in her hands, Madeleine straightened up and said solemnly.
"Lent, you protect Linlin and don't cause trouble for her!" Orfina gave Lent another kick.
Lent didn't hurt at all, anyway, it was good not to let him be separated from Madeleine, and said with a smile: "Okay, big sister!" ”
The two searched around the Lord's Mansion for Philia, but they couldn't find it, and learned that Matilda had called her to the council chamber early to represent the Yanyang family in the meeting.
Rog didn't bother her, and rode the star with Orfina to the Doma River.
The source of the Doma River is in the Tiebi Mountains, and the two of them arrived quickly.
Rogge took out the Tianya snail, first approached the snail mouth and listened, and sure enough, Helena's voice came from inside.
"Rogge?"
"Rogge?"
"Rogge?"
"Nana?"
……
A call drilled into his ears, and Rogge could hear that each sound was made at a different time, and there was a trace of shame in his heart.
After the first battle in the Twilight Forest, he was busy managing the territory and improving his strength, and he didn't talk to Helena.
Although the Karonde Territory does not have a river connected to the ocean, the Nalan River is not far from the territory, and it will not take much time to make a trip.
Orfina snatched the Tianya Conch and put it in her ear to listen, and soon showed a sad expression, "Sister Helena's voice is so lonely, she must miss me very much!" ”
The girl took a deep breath and shouted loudly into the snail, "Sister Helena! ”
The two waited for a while, and Helena's voice came: "Nana! Are you alright? ”
Her tone was excited and delighted, as if she had seen a good friend who had been absent for many years.
"A lot has happened in the past six months! I want to tell you, but my brother has something important to tell you! Orfina handed the conch to Rog.
Rogge took the snail, and before he could speak, he heard Helena say: "Rogge, why haven't you talked to me for so long, don't you want me?" ”
She seemed to be teasing, but there was a little resentment in it, and Rogge didn't understand.
"I'm sorry." Anyway, it's always right to apologize first, after all, it is indeed wrong to "snub" people for half a year.
Helena was silent for a while, and when she spoke again, her tone returned to normal, "Don't take it as an example." ”
"Roger."
"Say it."
Rog took a deep breath and began to speak: "The Demon Hunters Aspasia, Asparik, and Sonia are now in Cartagena, the capital of the Orc Alliance, and she has observed that the Alien Demon has built the Gate of the Holy Descent, but for some reason, it has not been activated. ”
"Thea said that a month after the Holy Descent Gate was activated, it would be able to stably connect the Hess World and the Red Abyss World, and then the demons would invade in a big way."
"The Orc Alliance is about to use the strength of the whole country to attack the Nalan Empire, eighty percent is to cover up the existence of the Holy Descent Gate, and the Nalan Empire will do its best to defend, but the outcome is still unknown."
"If the Empire can achieve a decisive victory quickly, then it can point its sword straight at Cartagena, destroy the Gate of the Holy Descent, and stop the invasion of the demons."
"So...... The empire needs all the help it can, can the Ulsea Kingdom help? ”
After a long time, Helena sighed and said, "Rogge, I really want to help you, but I can't. ”
Really......
Despite his expectations, Rogge felt a little disappointed.
"It's okay, the Sea Clan's combat power on land has been greatly reduced, and it is really not suitable for support." Rogge Dao.
"That's not the reason." Helena said, "Guess what I was doing before I spoke to you?" ”
