She Is Not a Witch Chapter 142: Across the border

Updated website: When Lorrain Hill returned to Crancia, it was already the end of July, and then the whole country began to mobilize for war.

In early September, the weather turned slightly cooler, Frost Rose’s army crossed the border of New Verga and marched westward, and Hopeland was in a hurry.

Carrites headquarters, conference hall.

The lacquer night flower pattern of black petals and purple stamens is printed in the center of the hall wall, and below is a large oval table.

A representative thought of the report at the top.

"According to the information we have obtained, this time the opponent’s vanguard has about 200,000, of which 30,000 are cavalry. And there are 5 golem regiments with about 800 golems. The fighting power of the golems is in sequence. 4-6 range."

"The leader of the army is the former general of Ruhrna, Jenkins. He is 57 years old and graduated from the Ruhrna National Military Academy. He has served as a border defense officer and commander of the sweeping army. He is now promoted to the rank of major general."

"Today, our permanent army in New Verga is only more than 50,000 people. Together with the private soldiers and temporary mercenaries of the major chambers of commerce, we can make up about 100,000 people. Thanks to the long-term trade needs, our horses The reserves are quite sufficient. If you temporarily recruit, you can gather 50,000 cavalry."

After listening to this analysis, everyone below discussed in a low voice, and then a representative asked.

"In other words, there are only 150,000 soldiers with sufficient military training on our side, and up to 50,000 of them are cavalry, right?"

"Yes, but in terms of the equipment of ordinary soldiers, there is no obvious difference between the two sides."

"Due to our early trade with Rulna, the armor and swords we obtained were all made of high-quality stainless steel, which is better than other countries in the Xuehua Seven Kingdoms."

"Nowadays, speaking of ordinary soldiers alone, we are not far from each other, and we have the advantage of local combat. 150,000 and 200,000 are the same."

"However, the other side has obvious advantages in terms of transcendents, golems, and airships."

"In a regular battle, the opponent can rely on the golem to resist long-range shooting such as bows and arrows, and then advance the line to destroy the walls and towers. At the same time, the bombardment of mages and airships can also mass-destruct and injure the dense army, if there is no equivalent means of confrontation , Our army will quickly collapse in morale after the battle."

After listening to this analysis, someone asked: "Is there any additional aid from Crancia and Hinayue Council?"

"Crancia has been mobilized. It is said that the army has already moved towards the border. On the side of the Young Moon Council, Frost Rose dispatched sea warships and cruise airships to patrol and intercept the Jingyue Strait to prevent us from facing us. For assistance."

"Considering the size of the Frost Rose, the Hinayue Council may not make a decision and stand with us completely to resist. Because the other party is a country of archipelago, the domestic opinions are difficult to be fully unified. If the opponent is not attacked Under the circumstances, it will be very difficult to stand with us completely."

"The previous aid can be achieved with only a small number of extraordinary people, but now Frost Rose is an overwhelming battle. If we continue to help us, it will mean that Frost Rose will become a mortal enemy. This is because their domestic nobles do not want to see Of."

"Although the mages of the Hinayue Council have occupied a lot of seats, the nobles of the Cranberry Principality still retain a lot of power. They will not make decisions that are extremely risky and have little benefit. "

"The previous support was only easy to achieve because the mages of the Young Moon Council were the main ones, and the scale was not large. Now, it is not that easy."

"It seems that this time we have been alone for a while." A certain representative exclaimed.

"Yes, at least two weeks later, the reinforcements from Crancia will arrive, and even if they arrive, the predicament we face will not be resolved immediately, because the follow-up troops of Frost Rose will gradually enter the battlefield. "

"Airships and golems are still difficult problems we have to face."

"However, this can only be done now. Fortunately, the Young Moon Council has secretly left a lot of mages on our side, which can help defend against the enemy's attacks."

"Hopland's city wall is not high. Over the years, due to continuous expansion, a lot of the city wall has been demolished, and the newly built city wall is not too thick. Once the opponent bombards it with golems, it will only take a long time to tear down. "

"So, we'd better fight in the wild, relying on the mobile advantage of the cavalry to interfere with the opponent's supply, delay the opponent's march, and then wait for the opportunity to carry out a surprise attack."

"This is the only way now." Everyone present gradually unified their ideas.

"Also, I have some questions to add." A representative raised his hand.

"In the New Verga Alliance, many forces or large chambers of commerce do not have a firm sense of resistance. They are very likely to suddenly surrender in battle. This is what we need to be vigilant."

"Now those who really stand with me and have a strong sense of resistance are the Hollis family, the Yagertylin family, and the Lamia family. The rest are not reliable."

Someone sighed and said, "This is internal and external troubles."

"Things have always been unsatisfactory, and we can only do our best."

Frost Rose Border, a small town in the original Wilga.

The lively town on weekdays is very quiet today. You can see some guards wearing iron leather armor to maintain order on the street. They are all locals, and they don’t do anything evil. They just prevent something from happening in the town. Anomaly, after all, now is an extremely critical moment.

Many townspeople stood on the side of the road, watching the army marching on the ground in the distance.

These soldiers carried long spears, forming a long line of sight with no head and tail in sight. As they progressed, clouds of dust rose up on the ground, making their vision gradually blurred.

On the side of these teams, a golem about ten meters high is also advancing.

The Frost Rose learned the lessons from the previous difficulties in transportation. This time they made a large steel-framed transport truck, let the golem lie in it, and then a few golems pulled in front.

In this way, the mutual rotation can not only save a lot of magic spar fuel, but also bring those golems that are paralyzed due to damage and repair them on the road. Not to be completely abandoned on the side of the road.

There is an airship floating in the sky every few hundred meters. They monitor the situation below and are always prepared for possible sudden attacks.

A young mage who has just graduated from the academy is now mostly recruited~IndoMTL.com~Some are used to drive and maintain the golem, and some stay in the airship to support the battle below.

In the army of Frost Rose, a general wearing a strong armor and dark blue cloak also rode in it.

His speed is not fast, he sometimes looks around the various situations encountered during the march, and then orders the soldiers around him to stand by.

"Why Lord Jenkins is so worried? Didn't we have the advantage in this battle?" a high-ranking mage accompanying him asked the general.

"It is best to be careful in everything. This is not your mage's experimentation. Failure can come again. Mistakes in the war mean the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people."

"This time, although we have a lot of advantages in weapons and transcendents, Crancia... I have studied several reports of its founding war. Their opponent, the Westwind Kingdom, also has A transcendent who was several times larger than Crancia, but was still defeated in the end."

"War is not just a war. Sometimes it is a fierce collision of determination and will between the two parties, rather than simply piling up data."
