Chapter 494 (1/2)

The public declaration led by Tarris spread throughout the Ilus empire in an instant, and almost everyone was worried.

Everyone knows that it's a big deal this time!

Everyone knows the importance of the Tarris collar to the Ilus royal family. It can be said that Tarris is the back garden and the last card of the Ilus royal family. Every Ilus royal family will find a way to firmly control Tarris in their hands.

Now, nitro, who should be a firm supporter of Gillard, suddenly announced his support for Princess Aurelia and publicly supported Ellington's independence.

The meaning is clear - there is indeed a problem with the coronation of Prince Gillard.

For a moment, the whole country was in a panic and everyone was in danger.

The gossip that Donne was the illegitimate son of Victor began to spread again, and people began to doubt whether Gillard killed her father

The frightening truth seems to be covered with a layer of white yarn, which can be seen as long as it is gently opened, but few people have the courage to open that layer of white yarn.

In this tense and inexplicable atmosphere, the emergence of another news completely broke the balance.

Mark of the holy sword, ten thousand troops are heading south and have arrived at Castle caspami!

Internal war, imminent!

Ellington.

Fiona spread out a scroll in front of Donne: ”Lord, this is the latest news. The invaders belong to the third imperial legion, and the commander is General Marshall Lawson. At present, they are only about ten kilometers away from caspamiburg and may attack at any time.”

Aurelia added: ”Marshall Lawson, a military expert in the Empire second only to Secretary O'Brien and Secretary Adrian, served as a civilian at the age of 14 and participated in many small-scale wars. He performed well. At the age of 40, he got a precious opportunity to ascend to the sky at one stroke. In the following ten years, he played steadily and firmly in the third legion, and Finally became the commander of this force. ”

”At present, Marshall has become Gillard's man.”

”Wrong.”

Donne shook his head. ”He's not so much Gillard's man as the mysterious man's man.”

Controlling Gillard is equivalent to controlling the third legion of the Empire and the whole Ilus empire. Now, that man is going to light the war.

Ellington, obviously the best target.

Castle caspami, which has just been captured by Ellington, can just become the first battlefield for warm-up.

But will Donne make them so smooth and comfortable?

Obviously not.

Ellington doesn't like war, but Ellington is never afraid of war!

”Tell me to go down.”

Donne said to Elsa nearby, ”all the combatants dress up immediately, bring supplies, and complete the assembly on the transmission array square within an hour.”

Elsa saluted without hesitation: ”yes, Lord!”

After Elsa left, Fiona asked a little uneasy, ”Lord, are we really going to war with Gillard? Now is not a good time.”

”It's not that we're going to war, but that the other party is coming to the door.”

Donne said faintly, ”Ellington will never step back in the face of invasion.”

Aurelia pondered for a moment and said, ”compared with the Ellington guard, the average combat effectiveness of the third imperial Legion is worse, and their equipment can't compare with us. In addition, we are a defensive war, 4000 to 10000, which is not impossible.”

Fiona was stunned: ”isn't it 30000 troops?”

”Do you really believe it?”

”I don't often say about the 100000 troops of the Empire...”

”It's just an external propaganda offensive. Now it's not a war time. Who can afford 100000 troops? Do you know the concept of 100000 troops? If there is no sufficient logistics support, you can eat down an Ellington in one day, and there is no grass everywhere!”

After all, she was born in the royal family and knew more about military affairs. Fiona was not as good as Aurelia in this regard.

”If we really want to mobilize the whole country to ask for army expansion, it is not that we can't squeeze out a million troops, but I'm afraid four fifths of the so-called million troops are just a handful of farmers to make up for cannon fodder. It is the elite who really play a decisive role.”

”More than 70% of our annual revenue from the Treasury is filled into the stomachs of military soldiers. We have no money to replace more sophisticated equipment, let alone expand the army.”

Aurelia sighed and said: ”The total combat capacity of the third imperial Corps is only 30000 people. Just to meet the needs of these 30000 soldiers, 100000 people in the scar of the holy sword serve their clothing, food, housing and transportation. If 10000 troops are deployed, at least 20000 logistics personnel are required to ensure the soldiers' food and grass transportation. The staffing ratio of one to two is the most basic. Combined with external publicity, Isn't that 30000 troops? ”

Fiona suddenly realized: ”although there is no combat effectiveness, we can't see it when we put on our clothes and stand in the team. At least there will be some sense of oppression in the momentum.”
