Under Marit's angry eyes along the way, I welcomed the princess into the Iron Castle with cold sweat. If Iya hadn't interrupted Marit from time to time along the way, I'm afraid I wouldn't have reached the command tower on the top floor of the castle.
"Okay, Mariette, stop glaring at me... I admit that most of the magic crystals here come from mines all over the Kingdom of Yan. But you should also see that the equipment used by the magician troops of the Kingdom of Yan, especially in terms of magic crystals, is definitely more than in any previous era, right?" After going up to the command tower on the top floor, I first drove out the accompanying officers, and then immediately closed the door.
"How dare I glare at the Prince? The Prince has a large army with abnormal equipment and this abnormal castle. Who dares to embarrass our Prince Shen?" Pushing away my outstretched hand, Princess Mariette's face was full of resentment.
"Haha, it's good that you're not angry... it's good that you're not angry... Come, then Yiya accompany Marit, I'll go and prepare for the next step of the battle..." Although I knew that Marit was still angry, I knew that nothing I said would be of any use. I could only signal Yiya to help me calm Marit, and then I made up an excuse to leave the command tower in embarrassment.
I closed the door with my backhand, listened to the continuous ping-pong sounds behind the wooden door, smiled bitterly, turned around and left, preparing to go to the preparation department to learn about the latest situation in the Andriel area.
“Sir, as early as the day after you led the troops to set out, the troops withdrawn from the Western Continent and the troops from the Western Continent who assisted them in returning had already confronted the beastman troops.
According to our intelligence, humans were basically at a disadvantage in several battles. Only in the most recent battle, a cavalry unit from the Kastek Empire, in cooperation with the berserker unit from the Senke Federation, was able to use superior forces to encircle and annihilate about 10,000 beastmen.
In addition, according to our latest news, the coalition has found a high ground with a water source. After renovating the surrounding area, all non-main forces, including those with poor mobility, are directly deployed there for defense, and the rest of the elite are hidden and scattered within hundreds of square kilometers. "After I sat down, Zhadako, who had been stationed at the Iron Fortress, immediately explained to me briefly the intelligence he had obtained recently.
"Do you have any specific information about the coalition forces? Including their main troop organization and strength, etc...."
"Yes, during these ten days, we sent a large number of reconnaissance teams to conduct a series of investigations on the coalition forces. In addition to obtaining detailed military information of the coalition forces, we also learned some information about what happened in the Kastark Empire in the past few years." After listening to my inquiry, Zadako gave me a clear answer without hesitation, and said that he also knew a lot of information about the Kastark Empire that I most wanted to obtain.
"Tell us, let everyone know the specific situation of the coalition forces first. The news about the Kastark Empire will be told after we deal with the current situation!" In order to stabilize the morale of the First Division from the Kastark Empire, I immediately blocked this news.
"From the findings of the scouts I sent out and the words of the invited coalition soldiers, we found that the coalition commander Marshal Sterling had reorganized and renamed all the more than one million troops in order to better command his four-nation coalition forces.
Among them, 30,000 magicians of the Kingdom of Yan were organized into the First and Second Divisions of Yan, and another one was incorporated into the United Corps and numbered as the Second Division.
The 650,000 troops of the Mocast Empire were reorganized into 12 corps, each with 5 divisions. Another 50,000 elite troops were incorporated into the United Corps, numbered 6-10 divisions.
In addition, the intelligence we have obtained about the Senke Federation now is different from the number of troops we have obtained in the past. The total number of troops is only 60,000, of which 10,000 are Berserkers, who have been integrated into a division and incorporated into the First Division of the United Corps. The rest are respectively incorporated into the First to Fifth Divisions of Senke, and are called the First Corps of Senke. . . And their commander is Hegma, the defeated general of our master in the Wasteland Stone City.
Finally, the Kastark Empire sent out the reorganized Fire Lion Legion, Fire Dragon Legion, Fire Phoenix Legion, 121st Legion, 127th Legion, 201st Legion and several other local legions. Except for the three main royal legions, the rest of the troops were divided into the Kastark First to Fifth Legions.
In addition... In addition, some soldiers of the original Fire Dragon Legion and Flame Legion were equipped with some of the weapons designed by you, sir, and were integrated into a bow cavalry division, a siege division and a heavy cavalry division, respectively known as the third, fourth and fifth divisions of the United Legion... "
"What?" I was so shocked that my butt, which had just been sitting still, suddenly jumped up. Although I knew from various sources that the Kastark Empire had undergone a major change, I never dared to imagine that the Flame Legion and the Fire Dragon Legion would actually be reorganized and appear on the battlefield.
Could it be that Thacker and that damned head of the Imperial Palace Guard were directly seized or killed without controlling the army? If so, then the Kastek Empire is doomed. In troubled times, without control over the army, the people of Duke Shalo have no chance of survival. As for Shalo, from what I know, the only powerful troops they control are the Fire Dragon Army and the Flame Army, two powerful royal troops, and no special powerful troops...
No wonder the current ruler dared to send out such a large number of troops shortly after the rebellion. I'm afraid the civil strife in the Kastark Empire has been completely quelled now!
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Thacker and his men. After all, they treated me well while using me. In the end, I was satisfied with this outcome. At least I no longer needed to invest too much energy in the Kasdek Empire, which would make it difficult for me to survive in the Kingdom of Yan.
The body that jumped up in astonishment slowly fell back on the chair as the Kastek Empire completely changed its dynasty. Slowly looking at the generals from the Kastek Empire, I knew that except for a few officers who followed me in Kaster City and were selected by me from the slaves, the rest of the generals felt very uncomfortable. After all, they still had to think about the safety of their families in this coup, and they also had to worry about whether the new emperor would involve their families when he was clearing up the old dynasty.
