Chapter 582 (1/2)
Clancia, the capital of Netherland, iron felt.
Now the city is under martial law, and soldiers on patrol can be seen in the streets. Regular training sounds are often heard in the camps outside the city. The tension is spreading throughout the county and province.
In the city Lord's mansion, a local government official gathered together. They looked at the map in the middle of the table and discussed it solemnly.
”Report on the current situation.” The brown haired consul was serious.
A nearby intelligence officer saluted at attention and answered aloud“ Yes, sir
”Now the Principality of black rock has gathered a large army to invade the border of our country, known as 300000 troops. They have raided from the five main border roads of the county. Now three routes have been broken through by the enemy, and two routes have been repelled by our army.”
”In addition, according to our informant, the other side will soon have a group of airships arrive, and carry new weapons from the frost alliance to help fight.”
”Is it a musket?”
One side of the Ministry of industry officials frowned. Clancia did not know nothing about muskets. Lorraine Hill once popularized the later development route and a series of related products to senior officials.
”Officer Hui, it's not sure yet. Some people guess it's magic crystal gun or war machine.”
”It's not good news anyway.” A bearded officer shook his head.
”How much combat power can we mobilize now?”
”At present, there are more than 40000 people in active service, which is the result of the expansion of the army at the beginning of the year. Now, when we add up the number of people in reserve service and those who have recently been trained, the maximum number can reach 80000.”
”It's still not enough. There are more than 300000 enemies. Although this figure is boastful, with the support of the frost alliance, their equipment is not bad. It is estimated that the army will be further expanded in the future. ”
”In addition, Heiyan has always had the custom of making a living with mercenaries. Civilian military training and common sense are also popular, and a considerable army will soon be drawn up.”
”Can the neighboring provinces support it?” Asked a bespectacled scholar, an alchemist in the county.
”Yes, but they have their own difficulties.” Said the consul slowly.
”In other border counties of Fengxiao Province, many black rock soldiers have been found. Maybe they will attack. They don't have much support.”
”Now the greater hope is the inner rear counties and provinces. Under Fengxi Province, Baimu County promised to support 20000 soldiers.”
”What about the instructions from the central government?”
”At present, the war in the south is urgent, and the enemy's legions step across the border one after another. There are not only about 500000 enemy troops besieging Hopland in new Vilga, but also 100000 troops along the heisong river. Finally, the army of the Falcon Kingdom gradually converges to the border. About 300000 desert cavalry and 50000 winged soldiers are on the border of Mufeng province.”
