"My lord, that guy is a spy of the Mocast Empire. His appearance is just to prepare for the East Continent to send more troops. So far, the East Continent coalition has dispatched 10 legions and 8 magician units. Among them, there are 20 divisions of light infantry; 8 divisions of archers, including crossbowmen; 8 divisions of light cavalry; 10 divisions of heavy infantry, and 4 divisions of heavy cavalry...
It seems that the Flame Legion, Fire Phoenix Legion, Fire Lion Legion and two magician units sent out by the Empire are completely unable to deal with them. If we can't break out... Then, sir, we must prepare for a long-term war... "Matthew reported to me the results of the interrogation with a pale face.
"Well, it seems that they didn't send that many soldiers! 20 light infantry divisions, in the battle we saw today, they were wiped out nearly 3 light infantry divisions and 3 heavy infantry divisions in today's battle alone, and their heavy cavalry troops were almost wiped out. In addition, we also destroyed nearly 2 of their magician troops...
According to the current situation and the area of land they have occupied, they can't mobilize many troops to the front line to fight us. They won't give up a city every time they occupy it, and gather all their soldiers to fight against the main force of the empire, or to besiege our small force.
Given their size, if they wanted to plunder and destroy this place, they would be more than capable of doing so. But if they were planning to occupy this place for a long time or to use it to resist another counterattack by the imperial army, that would simply be a dream. . . . . . "
Indeed, with more than 2 million troops in the empire, how could they just sit there and watch those territories being occupied by others? Not to mention mobilizing the whole country, as long as the three empire-affiliated legions of Thacker learned the news here and gathered the regular empire legions along the way, they would be able to put together a force of more than 500,000. This was without Thacker and his men mobilizing local legions or noble private armies.
If they are just plundering, then our current situation can be solved immediately. But if the East Continent wants to completely occupy this place, then the East Continent will continue to send troops here. And this consequence will directly restrict the movement and escape of our troops.
"Your Excellency is wise, and your guess is correct. I just asked the spy, and it is said that in the East Continent, the Mocaster Empire will increase its troops by 7 legions, and the Yan Kingdom will also increase its troops by 6 magician units..."
"Damn... this is a big deal... it seems they are planning to stay here. A total of 850,000 soldiers, plus 16,000 magicians, this is really depressing news, maybe they will send out troops again in the future..." After hearing what Matthew said, I was also chilled. 850,000 soldiers plus 16,000 magicians, this is not a happy number, this force is enough for the entire empire to send out half of the imperial army to fight against them. If they send more troops, it will be necessary for the Kastark Imperial Army to go out in full force.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel confused about my fate. This place is equivalent to the backyard of the East Continental Allied Forces. If my troops continue to operate here, then after angering them, my fate will be bumpy.
Unfortunately, I can’t just hide here and do nothing. Besides the fact that so many of my soldiers need rations and military supplies, I also have to worry about whether that stinky roast chicken will make things difficult for me. . . . .
"Sir, something has happened. Look there..." A sniper archer shouted loudly from a tall tree and pointed his finger to the original place.
"Hey, our guests are here. They really came here following the horseshoe prints we left behind. Now I just hope that their formation is denser and that the people coming are more important..." I looked into the distance and quickly took out the telescope. Thinking about the huge trap set up 1,200 meters ahead, I silently prayed that the East Continent coalition forces would move closer to me, so as not to waste the super feast I prepared for them.
Sitting comfortably under the big tree, I carefully observed the enemy. Through Yunyue's reconnaissance magic, a light screen stood in front of me and the army staff. Looking at the East Continental Allied Forces marching forward without any scruples, my smile became more and more sinister.
Hehe, maybe they were too confident, thinking they would be safe if there was no one around 1,000 meters, but I think they would soon realize how wrong they were. . . . .
"Sir, all those who possess magic powers are in place. Once their main force enters our trap area, please take Yunyue and Yaruo there to preside over the input of magic power." Looking at the enemy scouts probing around 800 meters outside the main force of the East Continent Coalition, Matthew cast a contemptuous look and immediately reminded me to preside over the activation procedure of the trap.
"Okay, okay... I'll be there right away! If those things are sold, they'll be worth 100,000 gold coins..." Looking at the approaching enemy scouts, I quickly responded to Matthew, and then took Yunyue and Yaru to the gathering place of several members of the General Staff.
"The enemy has 2 light infantry divisions, 1 heavy infantry division, and 1 heavy cavalry division. There is also a magician unit. Based on the current marching situation, it is expected to enter the trap area in 5 minutes. If we are lucky, we will lose more than 2 divisions..." Looking at the situation in front of him, a staff officer rubbed his hands and fidgeted with excitement.
"Full point... Let's leave the light infantry division in front of us alone. We will target their heavy infantry and the troops behind them..."
I was so excited that I squeezed the silver thread tightly in my hand. My voice was a little distorted and hoarse. If I succeeded this time, I would not only be able to weaken the powerful enemy in front of me, but the impact on me and the world would be immeasurable.
"10...9...8...7...3...2...1...Input magic power..." Seeing the heavy infantryman at the front of the light screen stepping onto my target line, I immediately gave the order to input magic power. At the same time, hundreds of rubbish mages quickly inputted magic power into the dense silver thread... Then, a huge lightning and wind explosion immediately broke out at the main force of the enemy... (To be continued)
