At the beginning of the war, the three dukes asked for reinforcements at the noble council, and because they were on the front line, they said that the situation on the front line was very serious.

Although there are many contradictions within the great nobles of the Grant Kingdom, after all, they are both prosperous and loss-oriented. If the three dukes of Edward, Fawkes, and Guise are occupied by the Delong Kingdom, the war will burn into the three dukedoms of Duran, Lorain, and York, and the six dukes will not be able to withstand it, and the Grant royal family will not be able to support it.

Under the coordination of King Roger, York, Lorain, and Durand almost did their best to recruit 100,000 regular troops to participate in the war.

The three main armies of the royal family in the southern territories were also dispatched on all fronts, plus the conscripted aristocratic coalition army. The Grant royal family mobilized a regular army of 300,000 men to withstand the attack of the Delong Kingdom.

In this war, although the main force of the Delong Kingdom was reduced to 400,000 people, its combat effectiveness was far stronger than a few years ago, and the Delong Kingdom alone had the strength to suppress the 300,000 regular troops of the Grant Kingdom.

In the previous battles, the troops used by the Grant Kingdom to deal with the Delong Kingdom were basically 150,000 people.

When a war broke out between the Kingdom of Delong and the Kingdom of Grant, the nearby countries naturally acted according to the situation.

The first was the United Kingdom on the east coast, and soon formed a three-front army, the first was the Maritime Front, which was still a 150,000-strong army, including six legions plus 30,000 naval troops.

However, due to the decree of the Grant Kingdom to move the sea, this army could not attack the coastal towns and replenish fresh water supplies, so it could only go north from the mouth of the Oram River, and was intercepted by the private army of the four marquis of the eastern part of the Grant Kingdom and the three legions of the royal guard in the marquis of Guevara and Creen.

Having lost naval mobility, this front did not pose a serious threat to the kingdom of Grant.

The second is the Andorran Front, in which the United Kingdom on the east coast has amassed 120,000 troops from six legions in the southern Andorra Mountains to cross the Andorra Mountains and regain lost territory.

The five counts in the south of the Kingdom of Grant formed an alliance of 90,000 nobles, relying on the natural dangers of the Andorra Mountains, and easily contained this enemy.

The third front is the main force of the United Kingdom on the east coast, with a total of 200,000 men, and this huge force is the Western Front.

The troops that resisted this front were the four legions of the North, Grizzlies, Mad Lion, and Iron Lion, plus the three counties of William, Steven, and Zachary.

The Earldom of Steven's was wiped out in the last great battle, and now there are only more than 10,000 recruits, Zachary has just been knighted, with only 8,000 soldiers, and William has the support of the Duke of Haraland, and the smuggling income is supplemented, but 16,000 soldiers have been trained. The three counts combined were only thirty-four thousand.

Although the combat effectiveness of the aristocratic coalition in this direction is average, the four legions directly under the royal family are the best elite soldiers in the Grant Kingdom, even if the troops are at a disadvantage, they still resist the enemy and maintain the stability of the situation.

The United Kingdom on the East Coast has 28 legions, plus 600,000 naval troops. But in the war three years ago, the United Kingdom on the East Coast suffered a loss of troops and was actually wounded to the roots.

In the last war, the United Kingdom of the East Coast not only lost the legendary knight Mark Dean, but also annihilated more than 100,000 people by Haraland's leadership, and lost about 200,000 people in battle losses on other battlefields at one time.

In the past three years, although the prisoners have been redeemed and the battle losses have been replenished, the combat effectiveness of the six newly created regiments has not yet been formed.

This time, the United Kingdom of the East Coast has mobilized 22 legions, with a total strength of 470,000 troops, and has actually done its best, with the determination to succeed if it does not succeed.

The Grant regular army, which fought against the United Kingdom on the East Coast, also amounted to about 350,000 men.

With the gradual participation of various troops in the war, the power of the Grant royal family has been fully mobilized, and there are now only two new legions near Nolan Castle.

In recent years, with the expansion of the direct territory, the military power directly controlled by the Grant royal family has also expanded and improved.

At the beginning, the royal family had a total of seven legions directly under the central government, three of which were stationed in the three provinces of northern Xinjiang and were the border troops to defend against the orcs, and four were stationed in Nolan, which were the forbidden troops that suppressed the whole country.

The personnel of the forbidden army and the border army usually move on a large scale, and many meritorious border army officers will be transferred to the forbidden army. Members of the Grant royal family in the forbidden army will also be transferred to the border army.

Although the country has been established for many years, but because there are powerful foreign enemies in the north, the combat effectiveness of the central legion of the Grant royal family has been maintained very well, and in recent years, with the royal family has grasped more and more territory, more and more finances, the central legion has expanded to eleven, but the strongest combat effectiveness is still the border army that has experienced the war in the northern Xinjiang. The war has continued until now, and in addition to the Haaland Lord, the power of the Grant royal family and the great nobles is about to be exhausted.

After the armies of the Kingdom of Delong and the United Kingdom of the East Coast entered the battle, the Kingdom of Lane soon declared war on the Kingdom of Grant.

The first to attack was the army of the Linus family, which rushed into the Grand Duchy of Starnik, with about 40,000 men along the way, along the southern part of the Silver Wolf Mountains.

Then there was the Second Route Army, which consisted of four legions with a total strength of 80,000 men, and advanced along the Oram River to attack the central towns of the Grand Duchy of Starnik.

The Third Route Army had the largest number of people, up to 160,000 people in eight legions, and wanted to join up with the Delong Kingdom, advance along the Mara River, and want the main force to fight a decisive battle, defeat the Grant Kingdom in one fell swoop, and achieve a complete victory.

The Linus family's troops are a serious threat to the Grand Duchy of Starnik.

After all, the Linus family was once the master of the Grand Duchy of Starnik and ruled for more than a hundred years.

Many of the hereditary nobles of Starnik were vassals of the Linus family, and they were promoted to the hereditary aristocracy by virtue of the canonization of the Linus monarch.

Although the army was minimal along the way, Grand Duke Jonathan decided to go into battle himself, and he led a legion from St. Jonathan's castle north, where he gathered a coalition of 20,000 nobles to meet the enemy.

The commander of the middle lane, Archduke Jonathan appointed his eldest son, Macmillan, with two legionnaires, to join the two dukes Marshall and Watson, a total of 80,000 troops to deal with the enemy.

The army of the Ryan Kingdom on the south road is too strong, and Archduke Jonathan can only order the two dukes, Hughes and Sardin, to form a noble alliance and act as the first wave of reinforcements.

Before the Ryan Kingdom entered the war, the Roger Kingdom had already found that the army was insufficient. Immediately send the Lion Knight to communicate with Richard, hoping to transfer troops from Duke Haaland.

By this time, Richard had already led his elite troops deep into the north of Priland and began to purge the undead, and was shocked when he received a letter from King Roger asking for help in May.

He never expected that the kingdom of Grant would be in danger of being attacked on all sides.

Richard and King Roger are both smart people and veterans of decades of war, and this year the Delong Kingdom took the initiative to provoke a war, and there must be people behind it.

Judging from the situation in the surrounding countries, the Kingdom of Lane immediately fell into Richard's sight.

The Dukedom of Haaland has expanded to the size of a kingdom, and although the number of troops is small, the combat power can rival that of a kingdom.

But without the support of the Grant Kingdom, it will also fall into a very big passivity.

After more than 20 years of running-in, Richard has developed a basic mutual trust with King Roger. The two sides have dealt with each other many times, and the two families are still married. The Duchy of Haaland and the Kingdom of Grant are back-to-back, and the situation is actually a win-win.

Once the situation in the Kingdom of Grant collapses, Richard will of course not be at ease if he is replaced by someone else, and a large army will inevitably be stationed in the south of the Duke of Haaland, and the two sides will fall into a confrontation, and it will be difficult to expand the territory in the north.

In addition, once the Kingdom of Grant collapses, it will inevitably blockade the goods produced by the Harland Territory, and the external market will be greatly reduced, which will also affect the finances of the Harland Territory.

The transportation of goods and people will also be cut off, which is also a very troublesome thing.

To maintain the stability of the Kingdom of Grant is to maintain the Duchy of Haaland.

Moreover, morally speaking, Richard was still a vassal of King Roger, and according to the moral standards of the nobles of the Dawn plane, he should send soldiers into battle and be loyal to his feudal lord.

After analyzing the situation in a short period of time, while still clearing the undead, Richard immediately decided to withdraw his troops and gave the main force an order to mobilize before the battle.

This time, in addition to a few elite troops, Richard mobilized the First and Fourth Army Corps to march south, accompanied by about 20,000 auxiliaries.

Haaland led the army to assemble very quickly, and did not camp along the march in the country, and entered the Duke of Fox in late May, where it joined the reinforcements of the two dukes, Hughes and Sardin.

Although the two sides have the same title, the strength of the two sides is not comparable at all.

The two dukes of Hughes and Sardinia are dukes within the Grand Duchy, with a territory of only forty or fifty thousand square kilometers, which is not only inferior to the dukes of the Grant Kingdom, but also incomparable with the Dukedom of Haraland.

The combined strength of the two dukedoms of Hughes and Sardinia is equal to that of the weaker dukedoms of the Grant Kingdom such as Edward and Guise, and the strength is roughly similar to that of the four marquis in the eastern part of the Grant Kingdom.

And the Dukedom of Haaland's army combat effectiveness and industrial capacity may be able to compete with the United Kingdom of the East Coast, although it may not be as good as the Kingdom of Grant, but it is a little stronger than the power of the royal family.

The difference in strength between the two sides is more than ten times, and the two dukes Hughes and Sardin are not fools, of course, they must obey Richard's military orders.

After the two armies converged in the Duke of Fox, Richard immediately led his troops westward and decisively invaded the kingdom of Lane.

Now Richard has an army of 100,000 under his command, and the grain needed by the army of 100,000 is at least 300 tons per day.

Now it is a national war of life and death, and the Duke of Fox is almost desperate to provide logistics for Richard's army.

In this great war, the Kingdom of Grant and the Grand Duchy of Starnik mobilized more than 800,000 troops on a battlefield of more than 2 million square kilometers, and the number of civilians and auxiliaries who provided logistics for these 800,000 troops added up to more than one million.

Two million people were mobilized to fight the war, and the pressure on both countries was unusually heavy.

Although both countries are feudal and classical militarist countries and have very strong mobilization capabilities, the combined population of the two countries is less than 60 million, and the number of men in the prime of life is only 16 million.

Just as Richard was preparing to lead his troops into the Kingdom of Lane, the magic fleet of the Sith Kingdom poured into the vicinity of the mouth of the Black River.

Harland led the construction of the castle after the Black River entered the sea, and now there are hundreds of soldiers stationed, but in the face of the enemy's elite soldiers and powerful magic ships, the garrison of this castle is simply not enough, and it is quickly drowned in the attack of the Sith Kingdom.

The Sith Kingdom Sea Slave Catcher Regiment went up the Black River and soon attacked Easter, the capital of the Duke of Jonathan.

Although most of the soldiers were mobilized to the Grand Duchy of Starnik, Easte Castle still had 16,000 defenders.

The soldiers of Duke Jonathan's army were very good at fighting and withstood the attack of the Yunhai slave catcher.

Seeing that it could not capture Easter City, the Yunhai slave catcher continued to advance along the Black River and actually attacked the Haaland Territory.

The Yunhai Slave Catcher Regiment originally planned to conquer Flying Eagle Fort, Tongshan Town, and Graveson all the way along the river bay ferry, capture Heihe Fort in one fell swoop, and severely damage the Harland Territory.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to the river bay ferry, he ushered in the attack of Haaland's soldiers.

Although the focus of Haaland's defense is heavy in the north and light in the south, and heavy troops are stationed in the north of the Eagle Mountains, the three main forces of the Second Army, the Third Army, and the Fifth Army are all stationed in the north of the Eagle Mountains to defend against orcs, and there are only city defense troops and security forces in the south.

However, the Harland Command has a large number of flying troops, and there are other magic balloon units that are gradually being phased out, except for the artillery, which are basically deployed in the southern Heihe Province.

Moreover, because of the purpose of guarding the plane passage, Haaland led a relatively elite army of 6,000 people in Dragon Canyon. Together with the second-line troops such as the security forces, the troops left in the south by Haaland also had 46,000 troops.

With a large number of troops, Haaland soon led the troops to block the Yunhai slave catcher near the river bay ferry.

After fighting a few outpost battles with the army led by Haaland, the Yunhai Slave Catcher immediately felt the seriousness of the situation.

The castles in the southern region of Haaland's leadership, except for a few important cities such as Heihe Fort, most of them did not have time to be equipped with magic crystal cannons, but the fortifications of the castle were very complete, and the auxiliaries and city defense troops were equipped with heavy trebuchets and alchemy bombs.

The Yunhai slave catcher group tentatively attacked a river bay crossing, and although the losses of the garrison city defense army were not light, they actually lost seventy or eighty people. Bypassing the river bend ferry to attack the Flying Eagle Fort, it was still unsuccessful, and was hit by the alchemy bombs thrown by the defenders of the city, and suffered heavy casualties. This time, the casualties were as high as 150.

Although the Yunhai Slave Catcher Regiment is an all-professional soldier, it also has a lion cavalry of more than 100 people, and its combat effectiveness is far stronger than that of the defenders, killing and wounding 1,300 of Haaland's auxiliary soldiers in two battles. The casualty ratio reached 1:6, far better than Haaland's leader.

However, the members of the Yunhai Slave Catcher Group only have a dozen magic ships, less than 4,000 people, and the scale of the Yunhai Slave Catcher Group is simply not good with the huge Haaland army. Before they could attack a castle and capture a castle, Haaland's naval army actually appeared nearby.

After more than a year of construction, although only one magic ship was built, with several steam engine ships, the Haaland Led Black River Fleet has expanded to more than 2,000 people.

On the Haaland magic ship, equipped with a magic crystal cannon, the power is extremely amazing, twelve magic crystal cannons fired a salvo, and the water army of the Yunhai slave catcher group fled in embarrassment, and even the magic ship was sunk, this battle Haaland led the army to a complete victory, sinking a magic ship, and annihilating more than 300 people of the Yunhai slave catcher.
