The military state has a standing army, always ten. This is not because of any restrictions on rank, but simply because it cannot afford to support more.
Of course, ordinary kingdoms also have standing corps, but in terms of sophistication of equipment, quality and quantity of personnel, they are not at the level of the empire.
Even if they were to be brought to the front line, they would not be dead enough. Not to mention the issue of command authority, so they still had to ask for help.
Perhaps it would have been a long way from the Vida Military State to meet the evil camp's Western Route Army, but at least it was much closer than the people of the Gwana Empire.
Not to mention that the main force of the Gwana Empire has crossed the Wind Emperor Mountain Range to attack north and is at war with the demons.
It is unrealistic to expect them to support the west side. Especially after seeing the situation clearly, we know that even if the main force of the Gwana Empire really goes to the west to support, there is a high possibility that it will bring over the demon army that is fighting with it.
Just half of the evil camp's army is already too much to bear. If the area to the west of the mountain range is really regarded as a battlefield, it will not become a desolate place like the north of the mountain range.
It is really better not to have such troublesome support. Then the best person to ask for help is really the Vader Military Nation.
The military emperor Friedrich Bayer had actually long ago supported the idea of fighting the Abyss War, and the ten standing legions were also in a state of being ready to go at any time.
Because from a geographical point of view, when the threat from the Gate of the Abyss expands, the military country will inevitably be attacked by demons.
Instead of waiting for the demonic coalition to grow in size and attack you at your doorstep, why not place the battlefield outside the country's borders.
Although the supply line will be lengthened, it can protect the territories and people under its control from the harm of war. Comparing the advantages and disadvantages, there is really no reason not to send troops to fight overseas.
Another more personal thought. The military state favored martial arts, but two hundred years of recuperation meant that the emperor of the military state during this period had nothing to show for his achievements.
Regarding his evaluation in history, is he a mediocre emperor, or is he an emperor who has made great achievements in fighting against demons and is one of the leaders of the human camp?
This is a very important matter for the old emperor of the military state. The emperor of the Vida military state is not as old as Armin Kazalnia, the emperor of the Gwana Empire, but he will not die anytime. It's an amazing age.
This means that there is not much time left for the military emperor Friedrich Bayer. If he hopes to accomplish some great achievements that will leave a lasting legacy before his death, there is no better one than the one before him.
It's just that Junguo was burdened by its past reputation, and few kings or lords dared to let Junguo's troops pass.
Even Emperor Friedrich Bayer emphasized many times that he had no intention of subduing anyone. Compared with the shining merit of annihilating demons, the merit of annexing several small kingdoms and occupying several territories is simply a bit incomprehensible. .
But if people don't agree, they don't agree. Even if they are private adventurers or nobles' private armies, people who come from the Vader military country have many difficulties if they want to lead troops to borrow the passage.
There is no way, the excuse that people are missing in your city and therefore must be searched in the city has been used too often in the past.
It can be said that even a cat is not welcome as long as it has a sign of Vader Military State on its head. Now the situation has changed.
Obstacles were no longer obstacles. The kings and lords who were extremely tough-talking at the beginning not only lowered their postures, lowered their heads, and begged the military and state to send troops for assistance.
Even the supplies along the way were paid for. Therefore, the ten regular legions of the Vader Military Kingdom set out immediately, accompanied by private armies of nobles and nobles.
The level of mobilization of the military state was similar to that of the Gwana Empire, with almost everyone moving out. Within the military state, the recruitment and establishment of reserve forces also started.
Equipment like this can be solved if you have money. But if you want the army to display its combat effectiveness, training is indispensable.
Even if you recruit the strongest among the adventurers, individual soldiers are very strong, and it will take considerable training to adapt them to the fighting style of the military formation.
An army that does not practice military formations and formations is no different from a mob. Of course, it is impossible for the Vader Military State to send out troops of this level to fight. Not only will their lives be wasted, but it will also damage the military country's prestige.
The reason why they came out in full force was based on the record of the Gwana Empire. The regular army and noble private army of the Gwana Empire, coupled with the airship army of the Heidel Empire, combined with some miscellaneous troops, can also
Only then were they evenly matched with half of the evil camp's coalition forces.
Then the other half of the evil camp's coalition forces, the Vader Military Nation, who are coming towards us, are not so arrogant as to think that they can defeat them without using all their strength.
The reason why the five empires can be tied together is because the gap in strength between them is not big. It is easy to bully some small countries.
But the Empire versus the Empire is a stalemate with mutual exchanges. Look at the Karlsruhe Empire and the Haider Empire fighting on the Plains of Oz for hundreds of years, almost turning the national war into an annual international league.
Although there will only be one empire participating in the battle on the reserved battlefield on the west side of the Fengdi Mountain Range. No one can estimate how many miscellaneous armies there will be from the other small countries.
The overall strength is certainly no better than the human coalition led by the Gwana Empire in the north of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range. Fortunately, the demons do not focus on this direction, and the chance of the Abyss Lord appearing on the western battlefield is not high.
It can be said that the Western Route Army of the evil camp is also weak in strength. In other words, the Vader Military State is not unable to support the overall situation on its own.
However, the actions that should be taken in and united still need to be done. As long as there are organized troops in the kingdoms or noble territories that the military and state troops pass through, they will also draw most of them and take them to the battlefield.
This is a war that concerns the survival of the race and life and death. It is not just a war started because of different political stances or old grudges.
Therefore, most kings and lords are still willing to order their subordinates to cooperate. Everyone knows that cooperation is the only way to survive.
The thick thighs of the Vader Military Nation are the biggest guarantee for everyone's smooth survival. As for the idea of joining the evil camp, it is similar to the behavior of washing yourself clean, peeling off your skin, and then automatically jumping on the dining table.
Although there are some groups that secretly worship demons, most people still have normal minds. Even those groups that worship demons only worship demons and hope to gain power from them.
It does not mean that these people will cooperate with orcs, gray dwarves, etc., these residents of the underground world, without any hindrance.
The former have a little bit of a contractual spirit and know how to give some sweetness to those who provide them with sacrifices. The latter just rob, kill, and eat people, and have no possibility of coexisting with humans.
It is said that these evil camp Homo sapiens races will be driven into the underground world, which is not a place they like to live in.
This opposition in character and stance is the real reason why they were driven underground. And because the resources in the underground world are poor, especially food.
Therefore, the residents of the underground world are always thinking about how to invade the surface and occupy a territory and run it well.
All these causes and consequences predict that the west side of the Fengdi Mountain Range will also become a cruel battlefield.
However, before the troops of the Vader Kingdom arrived, the fertile lands and prosperous towns near the river were the first to suffer.
There is no doubt about the importance of water to living things. Civilizations are all born by or near water. There is no such thing as the kind of civilization that is born in a barren desert.
There used to be a lot of people gathered along the river. But since the Wind Emperor Mountain Range was cursed, this river originating from the mountains has brought some inexplicable and unknown magical effects, and the people who made a living on it have dispersed.
.
In fact, scientific methods can be used to explain the local changes, that is, the riverside has become a high-power area due to the curse of the mountains.
And because its source is a negative curse, even though this place is not an abyss, it still has the chaotic attributes of an abyss.
Living in such an area is excellent for people with magical talents. Even if you are only slightly talented, you may be able to make breakthroughs with the bonus of the area.
As for the subsequent attribute bias, it depends on whether the magic inheritance can reconcile the chaos here.
But regardless of the magician's future achievements, the high-power area by the river is like poison to ordinary people.
Living in such an area for a long time is not only prone to diseases and disasters, but also the children who are born have problems. Over time, the people on both sides of the river have become extinct.
Everyone has moved to a place a little further away. It’s not like there are magicians who find out how good this place is and want to live in a place like this.
But the magician had no way to live apart from the crowd, so he had to follow the crowd. In the end, only a few magic towers were left standing on the shore, serving as civilized guardians to guard the aquatic tribes in the river.
The crossing point chosen by the evil camp alliance was of course far away from these magic towers. Even after crossing the river, they did not surround or destroy these magic towers.
As we all know, although the magic tower is powerful, it does not have long legs and cannot run. Whether it is chasing the enemy or running to the enemy, it is impossible.
Therefore, if magic towers are to be effective in the war in the Lost Lands, they must be guarded at traffic junctions. However, many magic towers are not located at traffic junctions, but are built in places far away from civilization in order to resist natural invasion.
This is to create an isolation zone between civilization and nature, so that humans can explore the wilderness with peace of mind and expand the area covered by civilization.
Such magic towers naturally cannot threaten the evil camp coalition forces who deliberately avoid them. In fact, there are many such magic towers still alive on the battlefield on the north side of the Fengdi Mountains, and have not been deliberately destroyed by the demons.
And around these magic towers, many humans are sheltered. In the original airship evacuation plan, these people were also among the evacuation targets.
Because to protect the magic tower during the war, manpower is also needed. However, the humans seeking shelter are old, weak, women, and children. These people can't help much except consume limited supplies.
Therefore, he was taken away by the airship and replaced with more useful garrison soldiers. Old Kawei was able to fight five or five waves of demons on the battlefield on the north side of the Wind Emperor Mountains. The safe zone camps sheltered by these magic towers deserve a lot of credit.
Quite a few.
It's just that the tower is also a magic tower, but it can't play such a role when isolated on the bank of a river. Even if a tower owner discovers the place to cross the river, but there are no soldiers in hand, there are only a few adventurers in twos and threes who respond to the call. Of course, there is nothing they can do about tens of thousands of them.
