The Forest of Four Fields is a big concept, not just the fir collar of Florence is close there, in fact, the border between the Kingdom of Pudley and the Forest of Four Fields is even more than Florence.
Of course, this time, the target chosen by the Church of the Damned is still the Fir Collar. After all, Blackwood City is now completely in their hands. According to the available information, the Church of the Damned has turned it into a stronghold of the undead.
According to intelligence, the number of the undead army that emerged from the Shino Forest this time exceeded 20,000. And this legion, after staying in Blackwood City for a day, rushed directly to the west, which is the territory of Pudry Kingdom.
When the news came and before the enemy army arrived, the whole country of Pudri was terrified.
Queen Susan Bella hastily started to mobilize the country for war, hoping that it is not too late.
However, Pudri is a wealthy country, but not a military power in the traditional sense. The country is still in the enfeoffment system, and Her Majesty the Queen must rely on the nobles below to handle affairs well if she wants to call up more troops in addition to the standing army.
However, the nobility is an unreliable class.
Facts have proved this point. During the invasion of the undead army, the rules that should have shouldered the responsibility of defending the territory often did not gather their own troops to fight against the invading undead as Her Majesty hoped. A fight to the death. In contrast, rich and capable nobles would be more inclined to avoid the undead, flee with their property, and save their lives.
Of course, it is not that there are no such noble nobles, but such people account for a very small proportion of the territory that has been invaded by the Pudley Kingdom. Moreover, even if individual nobles stood up to fight against the undead, it would be difficult for them to win the help of other noble territories.
Using one or two small noble territories to compete with the army of the undead is obviously not something to show.
Now, no matter how optimistic Queen Susan Bella is, she also understands that the Pudley Kingdom may be in great trouble.
The Victorians are quite strong and are willing to support some soldiers, but the response of the Holy Empire is still so slow, which is disappointing.
As a last resort, Queen Susan Bella could only look at Schindler for help.
She secretly met with Schindler's diplomatic ambassador and asked for help from the Kingdom of Schindler.
Schindler's ambassador turned her down. But Her Majesty the Queen was not reconciled, she further lowered her stance, and even finally said that she was willing to break away from the Holy Alliance and sign a further cooperation agreement with the Kingdom of Schindler—this new cooperation agreement included politics, military, economic, etc.
The diplomatic ambassador of the Kingdom of Schindler in Silver City was moved. He understood the significance of Queen Susanbella's proposal.
This is tantamount to a promise that if Schindler helps them drive the undead from their land, then Pudley will break away from the Holy Alliance and join the array of the Kingdom of Schindler.
This means that the influence of the Holy Empire in the south and east of the continent has been completely disintegrated. In the future, once Schindler and the Holy Empire compete for the hegemony of the entire continent, this will allow Schindler to occupy a very large Advantage.
However, for such an important matter, a diplomatic ambassador has no way to decide on his own. He must inform the country of this situation.
…
Dane soon received the news, which also put him in a dilemma.
Queen Susan Bella has enough sincerity, and even Her Majesty, who is almost driven to a desperate situation, directly came up with a draft agreement.
This draft agreement can be called a loss of power and humiliation of the country.
But there is no way, Susan Bella knows that it is very difficult to rely on her own strength to protect the Pudley Kingdom. Although, her husband, Prince Eastman, led an army of nearly 40,000 to confront the undead on the front line. However, they were already feeling the pressure just by dealing with the undead who invaded the Pudley Kingdom earlier, not to mention that there was a more elite undead army that had just walked out from the border of the Shino Forest and headed towards Pudley.
It cannot be said that there is no chance of winning at all. His Royal Highness also said that he will definitely lead Pudry's army to fight those undead to the end.
They still have a chance of success, but it is only a chance.
As the leader of a country, Susan Bella will never pin the country's fortunes on a single opportunity.
Once Eastman's army fails, the raging undead will destroy the entire Pudli Kingdom!
Under the premise that the Holy Empire was still lingering and still refused to send troops to deal with the situation here, in order to save the country, Pudley had no choice but to ask Schindler for help.
No matter what price they have to pay, it is better than destroying the country.
This is a good opportunity to take advantage of the fire. In order to preserve the country, the Pudli Kingdom will inevitably agree to all conditions, no matter how excessive the conditions are.
As usual, Dane would not let go of such a good opportunity.
but now
Dane must proceed with caution.
The kingdom's military strength has been drawn down severely. In fact, the pressure of the invasion of the Cursed Church that Schindler is now facing is much higher than that of the Pudley Kingdom.
In front of the iron horse's defense line, there was a main army of 30,000 undead. At the same time, even though the Sixth Army had evacuated most of the people in the fir land, it was impossible for more than 100,000 people to leave there in a few days. Those necromancers are still constantly converting new zombies and skeletons.
The Fourth Army and the Sixth Army are stationed together, plus the King's Guards on the way to support, so that the grip of the iron horse can be made stronger.
In Emhar, an army of forty thousand undead is attacking that city. Although it is difficult for them to move under the rugged terrain, and the city of the dwarves is so indestructible, but for the necessary precautions, for example, if Emhar is breached, the Fifth Army in Beast Blood Fort will be The kingdom's last line of defense.
Even if Emhal will not be breached, those undead should be allowed to detour and enter the territory of Schindler.
Anyway, no matter what, the Fifth Army Corps stationed in Beast Blood Castle cannot move.
Now, only the White Wolf Army and the Cormyr Army were left in Dane's hands, as well as the 100,000 Garrison Army.
However, this seems to be a force that can be mobilized, but in fact Dane is still very useful.
