No matter how extraordinary the extraordinary war is, most soldiers still need to be given food and wages. This is a fact that cannot be changed by any race in any era.
According to normal rules, the most important factors that determine a war include: soldiers, commanders, weapons and equipment, and logistical support.
Therefore, it can be said that the reason why Sentinel's Sorrow is omnipotent in siege and plunder is because of the perfect combination of Karpas' unparalleled commanding ability, the extraordinary and powerful legion of all its members, and the sufficient logistical support with magical supplies.
One thing that cannot be ignored is that in high-intensity rush battles, if there is no magic ring to carry a large amount of drinking water, food and energy stones, their mobility and combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least half.
Because knights are different from ordinary cavalry, they are extraordinary personnel. The fighting spirit consumed in each battle cannot be recovered in a short time, and the fighting time in their fighting places is never fixed. As long as the task is not completed, the situation
Changes happen anytime and anywhere.
This makes their requirements for logistical supplies very high. Otherwise, the knights who have lost their fighting spirit will at best be ordinary people with strong bodies. Don’t even think about running thousands of miles and fighting one against a hundred. Even if this kind of miracle can happen once, it cannot happen again.
Happened every time.
For an extraordinary army that is very strong in itself, the most important thing is to make up for its shortcomings, and supply is one of them.
Once the Energy Stone is gone, it is questionable whether the Sentinels of Sorrow can be stronger than the larger Second Legion.
So when Peg Hardy raised this point, Clapham asked: "What?" She said dissatisfied, "Don't tell me you don't know they have mastered the medium-sized energy mine in Appleton, and there is a mine in
, even if the alliance blocks it for another fifty years, they will not be short of energy stones, but we may demand them."
As for food and money, why do you think Clapham has ordered people to clean up the nobles in the two surrounding counties this month? After this conquest, they will basically empty their cellars and treasury.
"hehe!"
Peg smiled slightly and held up another document. It was marked "Special", indicating that it was an urgent piece of information. But it was nothing compared to the life and death of a wizard, so the information arrived in the afternoon.
Clapham didn't go to see it at that time, and Abel and other tutors happened to arrive at that time.
Peg held the document and waved it around. He smiled and said: "As Lady Mia said, they have not been short of energy stones for fifty years with this mine, but what if this mine is gone?"
"What?"
Several instructors scanned it with their mental power and immediately knew what was recorded on it. Abel was surprised to hear: "Are those bastards from the church crazy? They did this in Appleton. Aren't they afraid that we will come back with revenge?"
"
But I saw that the intelligence was talking about the energy mine. It mentioned that a small group of elite cavalry and wizards rushed to Appleton, used abyss magic on top of the energy mine, and succeeded while the garrison personnel were unprepared.
Summoning an abyssal gate, the abyssal species inside almost broke through the seal and escaped. If the Eleventh Brigade stationed there had not spent their lives to contain the abyssal species that escaped, I am afraid that the entire Devon County would have fallen by now.
.
The reason why abyssal races are hated by all species in the main plane is because of their living environment and species characteristics. Abyssal species like toxic lava environments full of sulfur smell. As long as they exist, it will be difficult for other species to survive, and they
They also have some special ability to slowly mutate the surrounding ordinary environment into a lava environment, which causes them to invisibly oppress other species.

The living environment of the tribe.
The abyssal race is extremely bloodthirsty and chaotic, which means that the word peace does not exist in their culture. Killing and eating are the eternal tone of this race. Who can such a powerful but almost incommunicable race be?
People are not afraid, so various races have joined forces to cut off the passage connecting the main plane and the abyssal plane, and push all the abyssal species and abyssal wizards in the main plane back to the abyssal plane.
Now, someone is actually trying to release them from the seal that has lasted for nearly ten million years. Although it is just a space portal, if the nearby demon king discovers this door and strengthens it, the consequences will be unimaginable. These people are simply
I want to drag everyone to die together
In the end, it was Jacques' bodyguard and the captain of the 11th Battalion who contacted Jacques who was far away in Moon Lake. The other party temporarily suspended the authority to crack the Wizard Tower and rushed to Appleton alone. But by that time, Appleton had already gathered several people.
There are hundreds of thousands of abyssal creatures, the surrounding environment is gradually deteriorating, magma is emerging from the ground, and toxic sulfur is exuding from the gaps in the lava.
The high-level demons with goat horns on their heads were driving the low-level demons of chaos to fight against the knights. These chaotic creatures became even more bloodthirsty and violent after seeing blood, and soon killed all fifty knights, leaving no trace of their flesh and blood.
Not even the bones were left after eating. If Jacques hadn't been quick-sighted and quick-handed, and the other party had the magic item he gave him as an amulet, his bodyguard would probably be gone as well.
What's even more terrifying is that Jacques felt an extremely powerful aura from the other side of the Abyss Gate. It was a bloodthirsty and powerful demon king, a creature more powerful than the realm wizard.
The opponent has already taken action to protect the gate of the abyss and is quickly mobilizing nearby abyssal creatures to invade the main plane. If they don't respond well, it will probably be another war.
At this time, it was no longer realistic to destroy the Gate of the Abyss, so Jacques was forced to expand the multiple space and use the eighth-order magic circle to destroy the sky wall to send the entire Appleton city into space turbulence, causing most of the city to become a
A blank space will solve this crisis.
However, Sentinel's Sorrow lost a complete brigade and a medium-sized energy mine with rich reserves. It can be said that it lost both the wife and the soldiers.
And in the end, when the furious Jacques personally hunted down the culprit, he found his body in a wilderness. Those people were indeed dead soldiers, and no clues were left to them.
But at this moment, everyone has turned their backs on their thoughts, and no one doubts the Holy See of the Scythe Bearer. After all, except for them, who would do such a thing, especially when the Wizards Alliance began to sanction the monastery.
Peg smiled and said: "Jacques didn't find the other party's soul. How can we prove that it was the other party who did it? As for revenge, I guess they don't care about that. At worst, they retreat to the mainland. We will be the ones to clean up the mess in the end. Who can
How about calling this our home base?"
His eyes flashed and he continued: "However, this matter is not without its benefits. I have calculated that the Second Legion has accumulated about 10 million energy stones over the years, which is enough to support this battle.
Great war. But Karpas and the others don’t have this kind of wealth, because we are fighting the Kraken. The Kraken’s corpse and merit points can be exchanged for energy stones at the alliance, but they serve the wizards, and they only consume what they consume and have no income.
Serve. So my lord!"
Peg smiled, with a twinkle in his eye: "At present, the energy stone reserve is not enough. As a standing mentor, it is normal for you to start reducing the treatment of soldiers and wizards for the purpose of war!"
As he said that, he looked at the crowd with an innocent expression on his face: "God knows how long this battle will last. If you don't save a little, I won't be able to get ahead at all in the future."

What should I do if I get paid?”
Everyone laughed knowingly when they heard this, and even Clapham, who was always serious, couldn't help but smile.
Yes, what knights need more than money is energy stones. Without energy stones, let alone progress, it is a problem whether they can maintain the level of fighting spirit without deteriorating. When you can't produce energy stones, what's the point of being loyal?
use?
There are only a handful of people who are die-hard loyalists, and by then most of the knights will know who to choose, and the captains will also know who to support!
…
"You mean, Jacques exiled the entire city into space turbulence, and your entire brigade was sacrificed?" Capas asked with a frosty face.
Under her command was Julian Channing, the captain of the 11th Battalion who had escaped from Appleton and Jacques' bodyguard.
Julian replied with a sad face: "Yes, sir, those people used magic items to hide it from our eyes and ears. By the time we found out, the gate of the abyss had been successfully constructed. I tried to destroy it.
But it failed."
As he said that, the tragic scene of the brothers who would rather die than retreat, fighting to the last man, was repeated in his mind. Julian's tears burst out violently. He half-knelt on the ground and said solemnly: "But the brothers did not retreat, and did not give up."
Sentinel’s Sorrow is a disgrace!”
Even he did not take even half a step back when facing countless enemies, because the order they received was to guard the energy mine. The tradition of Sentinel's Sorrow is to resolutely implement it and never compromise.
Capas stared at him for a while, then stood up and personally helped Julian up, patted his shoulder and said, "No one will ignore the sacrifices of our brothers. I am proud to work with you."
All the guards present were moved. With these words, they would die without regrets.
"Sean!" she called.
Sheen immediately stepped out. Even though he is now a gifted person, subconsciously he is still the humble butler: "Here!"
Capas returned to his seat and said sonorously: "I order to count the casualties of all members of the Sentinel's Sorrow, compile a pension report as soon as possible, and let Clapham Mia make arrangements for the brothers who died and were injured in the battle.
"
Sheen replied: "Yes!" After answering, he realized something was wrong, because it was Clapham who was in charge now, and her wizards were also in charge of these matters.
However, he didn't have the courage to say this at the moment. He just wanted to prepare the report and send it to Clapham as soon as possible. Anyway, these things were already done and it wouldn't take long.
However, the death of an entire brigade also caused Sentinel's Sorrow to lose one-twelfth of its strength, a total of fifty knights, including twelve high-level knights. That was twelve high-level knights.
, how difficult it is to cultivate it again.
The only thing Capas is lucky about now is that Jacques rescued Julian. Losing a lord knight would be really unbearable.
"Julian, please merge into the Third Brigade first. I will slowly rebuild your Eleventh Brigade when the war gets on track."
After Julian heard this, even though he knew that no one could supplement him now, he still couldn't help but feel disappointed. It was not pleasant to be a deputy, especially since the third team was the direct guard of the legion commander. Julian had no intention of competing with Sarah for power.
rising.
He saluted and obeyed the order, and then saluted Sarah Young and said: "Captain, please give me your advice!"
