The large-scale deployment of troops by the army will inevitably be accompanied by a large amount of material transfers, and in this case, it is natural that the opponent's scouts cannot be concealed.

In February 3278, Richard found that a large number of enemy troops in the rear were moving towards the front castles of Poonle, Colora, and Polya. Richard knew in his heart that once the enemy's mobilization was complete, the offensive would be very rapid.

The front line was tight, and although he had not yet completed the training of recruits, Richard still incorporated 6,000 recruits into the army, and at the same time he immediately sent a message to Grimm in the rear of Louin Castle, asking Grimm to rule Sutton, continue to draw elites, and increase troops to the Red Moon plane.

Due to the cost of opening the plane portal, Haaland led a maximum of one or two thousand troops to the Red Moon plane in a month. In order to avoid a large number of deaths, Richard asked that all those who were transferred to the Red Moon plane were elites.

Although Haaland led an army of 170,000, there were only 26,000 professionals and 35,000 senior apprentices, adding up to more than 60,000 people.

These 60,000 people are the backbone of the whole army, and it is impossible for all of them to be transferred to the Red Moon plane to fight.

Now that Haaland controls more than a million square kilometers of land, and the surrounding situation is not stable, the elites who can be transferred into the Red Moon Plane, Richard carefully calculated, and there are only 24,000 people at most. The 24,000 men still need to be transferred separately for two to three years to facilitate the replenishment of the backbone of the army.

Today's Haaland Leader, because of the successful development of Snow Crystal Lake, controls the entire territory of the Eagle Mountain Range, and the scale of hunting demonic beasts has increased greatly, producing about 30,000 Tenghui potions every year, and training about 3,500 warriors a year. This promotion scale has surpassed that of the Ryan Kingdom and is at the leading level in the eastern countries.

Although Haaland has many promotions for warriors, knight promotions are very rare. As early as more than ten years ago, the Haaland Collar had mastered the refining method of the Bloodline Enlightenment Elixir, but refining this elixir required a lot of precious resources, and the output of the Haaland Collar was not very large, and it could only barely maintain the basic supply.

Compared with countries such as Grant and Ryan, the number of knight professionals advanced by the Harland Leader every year is relatively rare, which is not only limited by the production of bloodline enlightenment potions, but also because there are not so many people with knight blood in the Harland Territory.

After all, the Haaland family has not been around for a long time, and they don't have much knightly blood, and most of the backbones under their command do not have noble status. In the huge Harland Territory, there are only fifty or sixty knights promoted every year, while in the Grant Kingdom, there are more than three hundred knights promoted in a year, and the Ryan Kingdom can reach five hundred.

If you want to improve this situation, you can only rely on the marriage from generation to generation, so that the high-ranking nobles of the territory can slowly have knightly blood. To reach the size of the Kingdom of Grant, it would take at least a few hundred years of marriage to be possible.

Because of the comprehensive selection policy formulated by Richard, Haaland has trained magicians quite well. As of the latest information, the Harland Mage Guild has 527 mages and 2,800 mage apprentices.

Among the eastern kingdoms, the magical power of Haaland has far surpassed that of Grant, Ryan and other powerful countries. Second only to the United Kingdom on the East Coast.

Although Richard entered the Red Moon plane, he could receive information from Haaland every ten days, although these information was a little lagging behind, but it did not affect the communication between the two planes.

Through frequent correspondence, Haaland's major affairs were mainly decided by Richard. However, in case of emergency, Richard granted Wendini the right to make decisions on the fly, and the power led by Haaland could be mobilized by Wendini at a critical time.

Recently, Rogge sent last year's economic statements to Richard through Sutton and Green.

By February 3278, the total population of the Haaland Domain had exceeded 12 million, of which about 11.09 million were under the direct control of the realm and 940,000 were owned by the vassals.

Of course, the territory has expanded to the current extent, and the population statistics can no longer be accurate, and can only be roughly estimated based on household registration.

The people recorded in the household register are all taxed by dividing the land, and the total number of black households in Haaland's territory is estimated to be one or two million. Even though Richard strictly forbade private slave ownership, and the Harland Collar also introduced laws, this kind of thing is still repeatedly prohibited, and private slave ownership still appears in the daily production of the Harland Collar.

With a population of more than 11 million and a total of 7.4 million free people, the land tax alone can collect about 2.5 million yuan a year, and with other miscellaneous taxes, the tax revenue alone will increase to 3.67 million last year. Combined with the income of various enterprises controlled by the government, Haaland received more than six million in fiscal revenue last year.

In terms of fiscal revenue, the Dukedom of Haaland has surpassed the kingdoms of Delon, Grant, and Lane, and is only a little worse than the coastal countries such as the East Coast and Sith.

As Richard entered the Red Moon plane, Haaland led merchandise to enter the Red Moon plane. Although the profits are relatively small in a short period of time, when Richard gains a firm foothold in the Red Moon plane, this market will gradually be monopolized by Haaland.

After all, the Red Moon Plane has a population of nearly 200 million, and the population controlled by the Dawn Church and the Divine Radiance Empire also exceeds 70 million. Although these 70 million natives have very little spending power, when Richard takes over the power of the Divine Radiance Empire and develops the economy, the market size will also expand extremely quickly.

Whether Haaland's economy can continue to develop rapidly is very critical to the evolution of the situation in the Red Moon plane.

Through the report sent by Rogge, Richard found that Haaland led the steel production last year to exceed 300,000 tons, and the railway mileage exceeded 2,400 kilometers. Last year alone, Haaland led the construction of 500 kilometers of railways, and invested more than 700,000 gold coins in the railway, which is higher than the expenditure of civil servants in the territory.

Used to raise an army, you can add two and a half main legions.

For more than ten consecutive years, large-scale investment has been made in the construction of railways, and the total investment has been close to 3.8 million gold coins.

Such a huge investment has promoted the great development of the Haaland Collar Railway Project.

Now the section from Songtao Castle to Martins Castle has been opened to traffic, and the western ring line and the central ring line of the Eagle Mountains have been connected to the grid, and the entire Eagle Mountain area has three north-south railway lines, and connected all the important town strongholds.

Although the railway bridge across the Samba River and the Black River has not yet been built, it has connected three railway lines from Pryrland to the Samba River, from Heihe Fort to Fort Leyte, and from Fort Flame to Maple Leaf Castle.

Next, the focus of railway construction was mainly shifted to the west of Haraland's territory, the 360-kilometer section from Maple Leaf Castle to Patin Castle.

When this section of the railway opens next year, the journey from Haaland to the border of the Grand Duchy of Starnik will be shortened to two and a half days.

Today, Haaland has led alcohol, brown sugar, steel products, soap, soap, glass products and other daily commodities to the low-end market and popularized to the free people, which not only enriches the market and improves the living standards of the people, but also allows Haaland to have a stronger tax source.

Just as Richard seized the time to deploy troops and strengthen the forces of the Red Moon Plane, the situation in the Dawn Plane suddenly changed.

In February 3278 of the Dawn calendar, the three kingdoms of Delong, East Coast, and Lane all provoked a great war.

Three years ago, because of the orcs moving south, the five countries signed a short-term peace pact.

Now that the three-year peace pact has not yet expired, the three countries have sacrificed the signatories and started a war again.

This time it was still a siege of the kingdom of Grant on three sides.

The United Kingdom on the east coast was the most vigorous, with half a million troops, still divided into three fronts.

With 160,000 troops on the sea, they went up the Oram River to fight against the coalition forces of the four marquis in the east.

In recent years, with the great development of the Grant Kingdom, the strength of the four marquis in the east has increased a lot, not only dividing many branches, but also plundering a large number of serfs and cultivating a lot of wasteland.

With the increase of population and food, the military strength of the four marquis has also expanded, adding up to a total of 120,000 noble alliances.

Although the 120,000 aristocratic coalition could not defeat the 160,000 troops on the east coast, they were able to barely stabilize the battle line, and this time they did not ask for help from the Grant royal family.

In addition to the sea route, the United Kingdom of the East Coast sent twelve legions to attack the four neighboring counts of Paulus, Zakary, Marcel, and Charlotte in the Kingdom of Grant.

The main direction of the use of troops is in the Andorra Mountains, where there is a clear desire to regain lost territory and recapture important strongholds in the southern part of the Andorra Mountains.

The four counts of the front line were short of troops and immediately asked for help from the rear.

After receiving the letter of help, the three earls William, Wimble, and Steven, immediately poured out, and under the command of William, they stationed troops along the Mara River, threatening the hinterland of the United Kingdom on the east coast, forcing the United Kingdom on the east coast to divide their troops, and by the way supporting the four earls on the front line.

In this battlefield, the seven counts of the Grant Kingdom had a total of 150,000 soldiers, and on the east coast, they had a large army of 240,000. However, the kingdom of Grant occupies a favorable position and can barely maintain the situation.

The last Western Route Army of the East Coast Kingdom has 200,000 troops, and it is directly under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family, fighting against the four legions of the most elite northern border, Grizzly Bear, Iron Lion, and Wild Lion of the Grant Kingdom.

This way, the Grant Kingdom had the smallest number of troops, less than 100,000, but the four armies in the north fought bravely and skillfully, and fought with 200,000 troops on the east coast, easily blocking the enemy south of the Mara River.

The United Kingdom of the East Coast is pouring out, and the Kingdom of Delong is also desperately mobilizing. In the past three years, King Anton has almost stayed in the army, personally going to the front line to train soldiers, and the army of the Delong Kingdom has been reduced to 300,000 after several reforms and reductions, but this 300,000 army has a new look, and its combat effectiveness has exceeded that of the previous million army.

The 300,000 army pressed up, and even though Fox, Edward, and the three Dukes of Guise were stationed along the river, they still couldn't bear the pressure and began to ask for help from the Grant royal family. The royal family dispatched four guards regiments and 80,000 troops to the south, and cooperated with the 120,000 army of the third Duke of Fox to barely hold the north bank of the Mara River.

The main force of the Three Kingdoms Alliance is still the Kingdom of Lane, and this time the Kingdom of Lane dispatched an army of 600,000 and slaughtered the west of the Kingdom of Grant with great momentum.

First of all, the Northern Route Army, the Kingdom of Lane is still spearheaded by the legendary knight of the Linus family, Haldan, with an army of 100,000 advancing eastward along the Silver Wolf Mountains. Archduke Jonathan led two legions, plus 40,000 troops of the northern nobles to block the enemy.

Duke Jonathan has a total of 80,000 troops along the way, although it is less than the enemy, but the internal battle has a relatively higher chance of victory.

The middle route army of the Kingdom of Lane was about 200,000 men, attacking the heart of the Grand Duchy of Stanic along the Oram River.

The commander of the Grant Kingdom in charge of this aspect is Macmillan, the eldest son of Archduke Jonathan, who led the two legions of the Jonathan family plus the 80,000 army of the four dukes of Starnik, but he could not stop the advance of the Lane Kingdom.

In just over 20 days, seven letters for help were sent to the rear in succession.

In desperation, the Duke of York entered the Grand Duchy of Starnik with three legions, and only then did he block the enemy in this direction.

In the Mara River valley in the south, the kingdom of Ryan invested 300,000 heavy troops.

The number of defenders in this direction was quite large, including more than 20,000 men of the Fourth Army led by Haaland stationed in Earl Philip's Domain, 6,000 second-line auxiliaries, and the Grant royal family also had two Guards Corps stationed in the provinces of Novena and Kampa. There are 60,000 elites and 20,000 auxiliaries on the border line alone.

In addition, after the war began, the two dukes of Loran and Duran could not stay out of the situation, and looted 100,000 troops to reinforce the front line.

Although the front line has increased to 180,000 troops, the pressure is still very heavy in the face of the 300,000 troops of the Ryan Kingdom.

At this moment, apart from the Harland Territory, there are no more available troops in the Grant Kingdom.

Although Richard entered the Red Moon Plane, and the power of the Harland Leader was deeply involved in the disputes in the Red Moon Plane, Rogge, who was stationed in the territory, knew in his heart that the Harland Leader and the Grant royal family were now grasshoppers, both glory and loss.

Unless there is a way to break the Triple Alliance, Harland will have to act in unison with the Grant royal family.

Moreover, Wilde's Fourth Army was still in the south, and it didn't make sense to abandon it internally.

This is the reason why King Roger left this fat territory to the Haraland family back then.

Earldom of Philip now has a population of more than 1.4 million, and it is still the grasp of the Harland family in the southern region, and even Richard cannot make up his mind to give up this territory.

The situation on the front line was tight, and there was no time to wait for Richard's decision, Rogge reported to Wendini and decided to use the right of impromptu decision granted by Richard to dispatch the Second Legion, the new Sixth Legion, plus 20,000 auxiliaries, for a total of 60,000 troops to reinforce Count Philip.

With the addition of Haaland leading an army of 60,000, the battle line barely maintained a balance.

The key to this battle was in the western theater, and both sides made extensive use of flying arms.

First of all, there are lion cavalry, there are as many as 400 lion cavalry dispatched by the Lane Kingdom, and the two nobles of Haaland and Grant also have 200 lion cavalry participating in the front-line battle.

In addition, Haaland also dispatched two magic airship brigades, and there are more than sixty magic airships active on the front line. In addition, the great nobles of the Grant Kingdom also used magic hot air balloon troops, and more than five hundred groups of magic hot air balloons appeared above the front line.

Although the kingdom of Lane had more lion knights, it was unable to seize air superiority and instead fell into a brutal strangulation battle. In just a month of fighting, the Lion Knights of the Kingdom of Lane had lost more than sixty.
