Section 222 The First Ambergris War (11)

On the east coast of the Emerald Continent, near the former Pearl City of Mochizuki City, a huge grotto has been built under the ground by the multinational forces, and Asturias and Titania have built their own portals, and a fortress is being built on the ground.

A flash of energy flickered through the portal of light in Asturias, indicating that someone or something was about to come out of it.

Although he knew that those who could come from that side must have been allowed, because the guard at the other end of the portal was not much less relaxed than from this side, the magician in charge of the portal's security still watched the portal with all his attention.

A pair of seductive long legs stepped out of it first, and then the tall and beautiful carcass, and the face to which this body belonged did not disappoint, and what was more special was that she had an indescribable heroic aura all over her body.

"Is it General Leona?" the mage in charge of monitoring the operation of the portal hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"You can call me Marshal Leona now, I am now the commander of Aurora's expeditionary force in the Emerald Continent, and the Aurora armies that appeared before and after this will be under my command. Leona walked straight away.

The news of Leona's arrival soon reached the ears of the respective commanders of Asturias and Titania in the expeditionary force, and the Valkyrie, who had only been promoted to marshal because of the need to command Aurora's military operations in this war, suggested to Perseus that he needed more space and made it clear that he was going to build a portal belonging to the Aurora.

This is certainly a good thing, and it represents that the Aurora people are ready to invest more in this war.

But there are also bad things, and the ambition and unwillingness of the Aurora people are also about to come out.

However, Perseus agreed to the Aurora's request. Enough space was allocated.

Commander of the Asturian Expeditionary Force. He certainly knows more secrets and information than the average person. At least he knew that the Valkyrie was now very close to the Southern Faction of Aurora, and the Southern Faction now had the support of the big financiers behind them, and if they met their requirements, they would invest more in this war, although it would affect the status of Asturias in the multinational coalition, but on the premise of dealing with the elves together, it was worth it.

Because the cabinet and the queen and his wife did not regard the competition of interests as the first priority.

Perseus's first task was to operate through expeditions. Ensure that the High Elves no longer become a huge threat to Asturias;At the beginning, the High Elves took Asturias as their primary target because of their magic research, so there was no way, if Titania was regarded as the primary target at that time, then Solomon would probably only gloat, and would not necessarily plan to eliminate this threat, after all, if you have a choice, you don't have to challenge the High Elves, you need benefits, and there are endless planes to conquer.

So even if it's to give up more benefits. Solomon also wanted to push for this war, and to achieve certain goals.

Leona. Later, the Saxon and the Church of Light also sent a joint force to arrive through the portal of Titania, including a prince of Saxon and a cardinal of the Church of Light.

Soon, these guys with their own ambitions and goals began to act-

"The Auroras have set out to attack Oak Leaf City to the east. Bethoff, who was Parseus' deputy and commander of the naval fleet, was discussing the movements of these allies with Perseus.

"It seems to belong to the territory of the great elf Finnerfin, who came to see us?"

"Yes, one of the six High Elf cities under the command of Fennafin, including the Mochizuki City that we occupy now. Beshoff nodded.

"That General Leona, oh no, does Her Excellency the Marshal know?"

"Yes, we warned her, but she seems to be looking to see the Elven King's prowesss in action. Bethoff laughed.

"What about the others?"

"The Saxons and the Church of Light don't have the courage to go to such a tough confrontation, they chose to go to the southwest, where there are many human settlements, I think they are going to 'liberate' these people, and by the way, spread the belief in the heavenly realm, it is estimated that only these people are likely to accept it in the Emerald Continent. Beshof said.

Perseus nodded, the Saxons were half here for profit, half tied to the chariot by the Church of Light, and the Church of Light came because of the tempting conditions put forward by Solomon, once the war was won, it would force the High Elves to agree to the Church of Light to preach here.

"Hmph, leave them alone, it's really shallow-eyed, and before they have won, they are starting to preach. Perseus commented, and finally asked, "What about Titania?" If His Royal Highness the Prince saw that the Aurora and Saxons were starting to act, it is estimated that he would not be able to sit still. ”

"Yes, he should be planning to attack a certain High Elf city, but Oak Leaf City to the northeast was preempted by Leona, so I guess he has to go west. ”

"To the west, that might have detonated the High Elves' counterattack on us in advance, and now that everyone is actually accumulating, the High Elves are waiting for their allies, and every day we have to go, new supplies will arrive, and reinforcements are being formed. By the way, has the messenger I sent over to urge him come back, and when will the first batch of reinforcements that the country promised to form arrive?"

"It is said that Duke Solomon himself is personally involved in this matter, and the council has agreed to recruit a large number of natives from Fadel, but after at least a month of training, he must learn to use muskets and basic queues before he can come, but the Duke has also decided to recruit a large number of Black Rock dwarves as the first reinforcements in his personal plane, which is rich in Black Rock. ”

"The dwarves?" said Perseus, who had seen the dwarves of the Black Rock, who were not comparable to the dwarves who were now revered as dwarven engineers, who had incomparably nimble minds, profound knowledge, and important roles in the kingdom, while the former were far from the latter except for their similar appearance.

In terms of physical fitness, it is like the difference between a normal birth and a premature baby, and the biggest difference is that those dwarves are suppressed by the extreme system in their plane, and they have no ability to think independently at all. Trained by their king to be a creature that only obeys.

"It's the dwarves. Beshof said. Although he is a Modo. But he successfully entered Solomon's faction, and Solomon valued him more than his previous ambitions, which made him a bridge between Perseus and Duke Solomon in the expeditionary force.

The choice of the commander of the expeditionary force was a product of compromise, and Perseus was accepted by everyone because he was an old courtier, and even Perseus thought that Duke Solomon was a more suitable candidate than himself, but there must have been many people who did not want him to raise the expeditionary force.

But if Solomon was willing to throw his personal possessions into support of the war, no one would refuse.

The Black Rock Plane has its own state and domination on the surface. But in the political map of Asturias, it is the plane where King Edward promised Solomon the right and benefits for the rest of his life. The conditions at that time were excessively generous because they were the first batch to encourage private development of the plane, and only Solomon succeeded in the four opportunities of that batch and gained great benefits, and the others failed because they were either weak enough or fell into the iron plate.

The dwarves of the Black Rock Plane have long been subdued by Solomon, and it is a combination of force and marriage, so the Duke had a special dwarf lover before marrying the queen, and it is said that he also gave birth to offspring many years later. But like another legendary lover, outsiders simply don't have access to the inside story.

So this time Solomon in order to support Perseus in time. It was decided to recruit the Black Rock Dwarves into an army and enter the Emerald Continent in large numbers.

"Don't expect too much from them to have strong combat effectiveness, they are far from being able to compare with the army we are leading now, our army is not only proficient in the use of muskets, but also has been formally trained and has been tempered in battle. And those dwarves, they can't even eat enough in their hometowns, but they can be guaranteed not to go hungry when they join the army. Bethoff said, "Their role is consumables, of course, our armies are also consumables, including you and me, and our role is to force the High Elves to submit." The advantage of using these Black Rock Dwarves is that they are stupid, but you may not know that in the Black Rock Plane, those Dwarves have the opportunity to use muskets, and when the Duke conquered that plane in his early years, he supported the Dwarven King in establishing the Dwarven Musket Guard in order to help him rule his country. And the Duke may have forgotten that they are dwarves after all, and some things may be innate, such as mechanical, those dwarves get muskets by disassembling and copying them, and they have the ability to produce muskets and bullets on their own, so in the Black Rock plane, there are quite a lot of dwarves who can use muskets, and if reinforcements are formed, they can directly appear, and they don't need to train for a month like the Fadells. ”

"Actually, there are a lot of people in Fadell who use muskets. Perseus told him what Bethhofer didn't know and let him go.

"That's the work of our Duke, too. At the beginning of the battle between Titania and us for the possession of Fadai, Duke Solomon sold muskets, well, at that time, they could only be front-loaded bullets, to the local aborigines. As a result, the aborigines actively resisted Titania, and then when our army entered, the arms trade was cut off, and because the aborigines could not repay their debts, I Asturias occupied their land as compensation, and finally formed the current Albanian Fadel. However, after the establishment of the rule, the aborigines who still possessed the former arms were of course a destabilizing factor against our rule and needed to be eradicated, and I remember that some of them fled into the mountains and continued to fight against us for several years, but finally died. Perseus recalled, "At that time, the troops who went to exterminate the natives who could use firebolts were also recruited from the Black Rock Plane, but they didn't make firebolts at that time. ”

"It doesn't matter if they can make it, Lord Duke said, there are a lot of black rocks in the Black Rock Plane, and they may not be able to dig it for thousands of years, but there are not many metal mines there, and the most important thing is that they don't have the ability to teleport in the plane, only by relying on us, they can go to other planes, and without us, they are nothing. ”

Perseus nodded, agreeing with Beshoff.

Finally, he said, "If that Garon prince really can't sit still, it is likely to trigger the High Elves to attack in advance, making the original plan even more chaotic." The construction of the ground fortress must be accelerated, and the situation on this side must be reported to the country, and the support promised by the country must be realized. Also, that Mister Tirramon, we'll have to find a way to get him to the Centaurs. (To be continued.) )
