Chapter 290 The sound of military boots in Devagang
The great armed country of Dewagaon - the eastern border of the empire——
Inside the gate of the dwarf kingdom, there are about 10,000 soldiers gathered, mainly goblins, goblins, dwarfs and other monster races. They are very well-equipped - these are the reinforcements of the demon kingdom.
Not long ago, based on the friendship treaty established with the dwarves shortly after the establishment of the Demonic Kingdom, Rimuru asked King Gazar of the powerful armed nation of Devagan whether he needed to send reinforcements.
Considering that although the large armed country of Dewagan is a natural fortress that can cope with the attack of angels in the "War between Heavenly Demons", the farming area in the mountain is very small, and it cannot be self-sufficient in food. It is most afraid of the enemy launching a food and grass war, so it uses the efficient operation of the magic train.
We have enough food reserves and 10,000 soldiers.
At present, they have not entered the city, but are camping on the outer edge to keep an eye on the empire's movements.
What is certain is that the gate into and out of the country has been completely blocked by the imperial army. Although it is more than 20 kilometers away from the gate, based on the terrain here, it is very simple to block all roads. And according to the current public intelligence assessment, the empire’s largest
The long-range strike distance is about thirty kilometers, so this area has been included in the range that can be bombed at any time.
The total number of enemies is about 250,000, but I feel that most of them are not as strong as shown in the information Rimuru gave me. It would be better to say——
It seems that most of them are weaker than the knights from the Western countries?
The empire has not sent out envoys to persuade them to surrender as usual, but everyone can feel that war is not far away. After all, they have no intention of surrendering.
The engineering troops in the dwarf legion are working overtime to reinforce all aspects of the gates and city defense facilities in response to the characteristics of gun and artillery attacks. The heavy-armed strike forces are also purchasing corresponding equipment and conducting relevant training. They are also discussing how to replace the city walls and city defense facilities.
The city gates are unreliable against cannons, and whether trenches and tunnels can be used to fight the battle. Although there is no experience in using these in combat, the latter itself can be regarded as the dwarves' strengths.
However, the monster army paid no attention to them.
Because they are very relaxed at this time.
"Recently, you two have really become obsessed with eating. Although this is basically the case for those who have visited the Demon Kingdom." Crounpis drank a drink from a mug and looked at Ainz across the table.
and Mesette.
"After all, this is nothing short of revolutionary for us undead people," Ainz said.
"Well, things in this world are really unbelievable," Crounpis put down his empty cup and leaned on the back of the chair, crossing his left leg over his right leg and said, "Didn't we originally have a life-or-death relationship when we met?"
"is that so?"
"Forgot? Well, back then, it was just a passing scene like a game to you, but it was all real to us." Crounpis couldn't explain the situation of his time travel, so he used generalizations.
Said in a way.
"I can't deny this. If you are willing to accept my bowed apology, I can apologize." Ainz's attitude was quite sincere, but it is estimated that this is one of the habit fragments left by human beings, even if he has been an immortal for many years.
Some habits during life will always become fixed characteristics.
A social beast with a primary school education...
"Forget it, anyway, I'm living a good life now, and you're living a much better life than you were before..." Crounpisi looked at the black armor with bones inside, and said, "For now, let's just call it alive...
In short, because of my influence, you must be better off than before. You have also raised such a beautiful wife yourself."
"Hey," Mercette put the fork on the plate, a green light flashed across her body, and said calmly, "Did I suffer a lot because of your relationship?"
"Can you blame us? Although there is indeed some connection, we were complete enemies at that time, right? Besides, if you hadn't gone through this, would you have the strength and husband you have now?"
"Ah wu... wu." Mercette really couldn't refute.
"Now, do you know? Why do princes and princesses in fairy tales have to go through twists and turns before ending up in a happy life? Can they fall in love and get together without twists and turns? It is difficult to have a good relationship in a marriage that is only connected by politics and interests.
Oh." Crowenpis said happily.
"I still know this level of common sense. I currently have no dissatisfaction or complaints about this reality." Ainz said.
Crownpis secretly thought that if one looked at Ainz solely from that novel, he would probably exclaim, "Who is this?" However, he has his own path and also contains shadows of the past, which is not unreasonable.
"By the way, even though His Majesty Rimuru sent me as a mercenary to assist you in the battle, the battle plan is not something I should talk about, but -" Ainz turned to look at the goblins who were also dining around,
Asked, "As a public figure in the Demon Kingdom, don't you have to discuss with the legion commander or boost morale?"
"It doesn't matter, don't you think the morale of the demon country is always excessive? If they work too hard, it will cause more headaches for Rimuru and me." Crounpis said angrily.
"It's true that I usually feel overly motivated... Well, it's true based on other countries."
"As for the legion commander, I don't know what Rimuru thinks. Let that guy be the legion commander. It can't be said that he has no talent, but his appearance and style are really without dignity. Look -" Clawnpisi squinted.
.
"Who is the legion commander? Are you around here?" Mesette suspected that there was something wrong with her vision.
Ainz remained silent, he didn't want to say that he didn't see it either.
"Well, the one who was so handsome that he drove so hard that he was so funny in the semi-finals, and the one who later had no fun in the finals with Mr. Gong - Mr. Gobuta." Crownpis made it clear.
"That one," Ainz touched his helmet, "Based on the level of goblins, they are indeed quite powerful, huh... As the commander of an army with goblins as the main force, there is nothing wrong with that, huh.
, it should be so.”
"Huh, yes, it is true. He is the type who will say what should be explained in the most flattering way. If we can have a conversation with him on the premise that we can beat him, I will still be happy, but we are in a war.
It's not okay to do this just because of trivial matters." Crownpis filled up his cup and continued to put it to his mouth to take a sip.
"How about the negotiations with the local army and the king of the dwarf country?" Ainz asked.
"Rimuru has taken care of this. Is this something you, a mercenary, need to worry about?"
"After all, I have a status in that world where I need to deal with that kind of people from time to time, so I need to consider these things from time to time."
At this time, there was a little commotion on the goblin side. Gobta's adjutant hurriedly went to say a few words to Gobta, and Gobta glanced this way, and then ran over...
