431 Chaotic decisive meeting
Blocking, chasing, ambushing, Skyrim Province is like a huge battlefield, with traces of battle left on almost every piece of land. For the expeditionary forces that came from other provinces, no matter what the outcome of this war is, it is a loss-making business that has to be made.
For the lords from all over the world, this kind of war has no benefit except for some ethereal reputation. For the generals of the Expeditionary Force, going to the Sky Province to fight in a very unfamiliar environment is simply a torture for them, and for the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force... there is no need to say more.
Apart from the Tiger Corps from Ayersville, the soldiers of the other expeditionary forces were not concerned about the meaning of the war and the ultimate chance of victory, but about worrying about their own life and death at all times. Some soldiers with weak will may even sneak away in the chaotic battlefield.
Because the laws in various places are very strict with deserters, these deserters dare not return to their original hometowns. After leaving the team, they abandoned their armor with the aristocratic emblems and brought only one or two weapons to the nearby settlements, pretending to be refugees, hiding their names. After a few years of the popularity, they may join a caravan heading to their hometown to take a look at their former family.
However, for the lords of major territories in Skyrim Province, this war is mixed.
Of course, there is no need to talk about worries. Whether it is the losses caused by cultists or the soldiers injured in the war, they are the source of worries of the lords.
And joy is the secret of making a fortune in silence.
For the Expeditionary Force, after each battle, it will at most restrain the bodies of its comrades and then set out to the north again soon. As for the corpses of the cultists and the scattered equipment, there is no time to take care of them.
The local lords are naturally responsible for the corpses left on the battlefield. In order to avoid the occurrence of plague, lords from all over the country must send civilians to constrain the corpses, or simply send a team of mages to burn them all. In the process of consolidating the corpses, the various equipment left on the battlefield naturally became the "trophies" of lords from all over the country.
For some expeditionary forces equipment, lords from all over the country may return it to the expedition forces when they return to their hometowns to make a good relationship, but the equipment of those cultists is a real income.
Although these cultists call themselves "New Dragon Worshiping Cult" and the number of believers is terrifying, they cannot stand behind them a demon god. For their own believers, Mora Hermeyus is quite generous, at least each believer has a set of robe and a bone mask, and for devout believers, they also have a standard staff for each person.
Although these equipment are full of Mora's style and cannot be used directly, the materials used are still very good. When disassembling the equipment, some enchanting materials can be decomposed. These are all golden slim siptins.
Therefore, before and after this extraordinary battle, the status of the blacksmiths in Skyrim Province, especially the arcane blacksmiths, increased more than one level. Before the war, it was because it needed a lot of equipment, and after the war, there were even more equipment waiting to be decomposed.
Of course, these are just later stories. At present, the most eye-catching thing is this long-planned decisive battle.
After three days of "small-scale" battles, the surviving cultists finally gathered near the ruins of the original Morning Star City, and the expeditionary forces from all over the country also joined forces from the local army of Skyrim Province, surrounding the cult's army from the east, south and west.
After three days of battle, more than 50,000 cultists were killed, while less than 10,000 cultists were captured. In the end, more than 126,000 cultists gathered near the ruins of Morning Star City.
Compared with the huge army of cultists, the expeditionary forces in various places and the local army in Skyrim Province are not enough. These army of cultists have a total of 170,000 people, which seems to be very large, but in fact, there are only more than 80,000 elite soldiers, and the mercenaries and employed soldiers gathered from all over the country, including only about 10,000 elite force.
Even among the siege army, there are the Silent Blade Legion of Silent City, the Tiger Legion of Ayersville, the Ruby Legion of Selodir and the Battle Mage, the Sword Dancer Legion of Hammer Province, the Nether Wolf Legion of Gaoyan Province, and the Ancestor Wrath Legion of Morning Wind Province, if you compare the special combat power of these legions and count them, it will only be equivalent to the elite combat power of about 120,000 people.
If you fight head-on and meet the cult army, the winner will be only 50% or 50% of the cult army. Even if you defeat the cult army in the end, the elite forces in these joint expeditionary forces will be left in the end with only 10% or 20%.
"So, besides taking action by legendary strong men or higher-level strong men, can we only simply hedge?"
In the combat command room, Feiqi's helpless forehead was here. Here, the generals of the expeditionary army, the commander of the large mercenary group, the commander of the mercenary group, and other major figures discussed for more than an hour, but the conclusion he came to was actually to be forced to do so.
Even if the number of people in war exceeds a certain number, war becomes a simple digital game, but are you too simple?
It is true that this involves a conflict of interests between multiple parties. Everyone does not want their own troops to charge forward, but let other troops suppress remotely in the rear. But what does it mean to rank the combat mage group and the tiger man's mage group at the forefront? Also, the shadow blade of our Silent City is used for intelligence work, not to be sent to charge!
After gritting his teeth, Feiqi finally knew why that guy Al threw this matter to him. This kind of discussion was a waste of time!
But Feiqi was too lazy to refute. You can arrange whatever you want. Anyway, I just need to withdraw my Shadow Blade team at that time. At that time, I will find Senior Eichner to take charge, and I don’t believe that you guys dare to play any compulsory measures.
With the same idea, there were the imperial generals from the imperial capital and the Leopard Commander from Aylesville. Like Feich, these two men found a corner to drink hot tea and watched the others fight red. Anyway, they did not plan to arrange the combat plan of their own legion according to the results of the discussion at the meeting.
All in all, well, just be happy.
Chapter completed!
