"Dear, what are you doing?" Claude returned to his residence and was surprised to find that Sheila, who usually liked to lean on the recliner and read a book, was not on the recliner, but in front of the alchemy magic talisman she carried with her.
Working on something.
By the way, this time the Thunder Legion went to the Farea continent, Sheila had to accompany Claude life and death. In the end, she had to dress up as a man and pretend to be Claude's personal guard, accompanying Claude all the way to Boli.
Royal City of Visia. Except for the guard squadron and a few of Claude's younger brothers, no one knew that Claude also brought his lover with him on this expedition.
"Oh, I went to the gold storage house today, looked at the treasures of the Nasseri royal family, and chose two pieces of jewelry." Sheila answered without raising her head.
The so-called gold storage room is a storage room for the property, gold and silver utensils, jewelry, precious art treasures and other valuable things that the Thunder Legion searched along the way in the Kingdom of Nasseri. As for the gold and silver currencies, it is another matter.
Storage. Although the treasury of the Kingdom of Nasseri does not have much gold and silver reserves left due to this war, it does not mean that the people are not wealthy. Two clearing operations allowed the Thunder Legion to seize a large amount of property, with a total value of nearly 50 million
Gold crown.
In fact, Claude was shocked when he knew this statistic. To put it bluntly, the property captured by the Thunder Legion and the Principality of Modra and Sidings in the destruction was less than three million gold crowns, which was already the amount of two Grand Dukes.
All the property plus the proceeds from the property raids of the nobles of the principality. Compared with the Nasseri royal family, these two grand dukes and the nobles of the principality really look like beggars...
Due to the raid of the First Division of the Thunder Legion on the Royal City of Polyvisia, most members of the Nasseri royal family and the royal nobles in the city did not escape, and their property naturally fell into the hands of the Thunder Legion.
Compared with the reserves of less than two million gold crowns in the national treasury, the inner treasury of the Nasseri royal family gave the Thunder Legion a big surprise. Not to mention the gold and silver currency reserves worth more than six million gold crowns, there are also
The estimated value of those treasured jewelry and collectibles is nearly ten million gold crowns.
In addition, there are also properties unearthed from the homes of the Nasseri Kingdom nobles in the Royal City of Polyvisia, including four to five million gold crowns in gold and silver currency, valuable gold and silver utensils, jewelry and art treasures, etc. There are countless other inspections.
Most of the property confiscated from the homes of civilian resistance militants was gold and silver currency, but there were also quite a few gold and silver utensils. The confiscated property alone exceeded Claude's imagination.
There is nothing more efficient than the organized robbery of the army. In addition to the gold and silver equipment, jewelry and art treasures, the palace also specially set aside a large side hall to store other valuables.
Valuable utensils. For example, on the 50th birthday of Nasseri VII, each officer and soldier of the Guards was given a set of gold-plated white copper tableware as a commemoration. Now these tableware are piled up in this side hall, Cloro
De considered that it could be given to the officers and soldiers of the Thunder Legion as a commemorative trophy for their conquest of the Kingdom of Nasseri.
It is worth mentioning that the Kingdom of Nasseri does not have a national bank like the Kingdom of Overas, but only one Royal Bank. The responsibility of this Royal Bank is to issue gold, silver and copper coins of the Kingdom of Nasseri, and at the same time conduct loan sharking activities.
It does not undertake small savings business. This is because the Kingdom of Nasseri is a feudal system, and the nobles of the kingdom have their own fiefdoms, which limits the Royal Bank’s ability to open branches in various local counties. As for commercial finance and loan sharking activities in the noble territories,
Most of it is in the hands of the lord.
With these captured properties, even if the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion's reinforcements to the Kingdom are complete, they don't have to worry about having little profit to reward the soldiers of the two legions. In other words, it can be said that the return to the Farea continent this time
During the war, the Overseas Autonomous Territory Military Region earned back all the capital invested in armaments in the past few years, and did not even have to worry about military expenditures in the next five or six years...
But what Claude is now curious about is what Sheila is doing. It’s not that he hasn’t given the valuable jewelry he seized to Sheila, but Sheila turned a blind eye to these gadgets that ladies are crazy about. She usually likes to watch on the recliner.
Those magic books secretly collected by the Nasseri royal family are waiting for Claude's return. Sometimes she even complains that many of the magic books collected by the Nasseri royal family are made up based on hearsay and are not as good as those left by her mother.
The collection of books in that grotto is accurate.
Claude walked to Sheila and found that she was carefully observing a very exquisite sapphire necklace in the alchemical magic talisman array.
"This is a magic necklace. I saw it in a magic notebook collected by the Nasseri royal family. It said that there is a compound magic on this necklace, which brings together three mental spells: charm, illusion and seduction. Wearing this necklace
Casting a spell on a specific target can make the target 100% trustful, or fall in love with the person wearing the necklace, and willingly obey the instructions of the person wearing the necklace, even if he sacrifices his life without hesitation. Therefore, this necklace
Known as the Temptation of the Succubus, I am now preparing to copy and divide these three spells from the necklace..."
Sheila briefly introduced the necklace. In addition to staying with Claude, she is now interested in the research of various spells.
No wonder Sheila took the initiative to choose jewelry. It was indeed related to magic. Claude shrugged: "Is the magic of this necklace really that powerful?"
"It's just an exaggeration." Sheila said: "Spiritual spells are very complicated. How should I put it? If the target of the spell is a magician, the probability of success is less than 10%, because every magician practices meditation.
, which will naturally resist the effects of mental spells on itself. If the target of the spell is an ordinary person, the effect will also depend on it. Some people have strong mental powers and have stronger resistance. Like the compound spell on this necklace, it is mainly
It is used to lure a target in a feasting banquet and dance hall, and only by matching the surrounding atmosphere can the best effect be achieved."
Claude thought about his mental shock spell, and it was indeed like this. It was not very effective against the magician who blocked the road. Sheila was studying this necklace mainly because mental spells were rare, so she was interested in thinking about it.
Break this composite spell into three separate spell model constructs.
During this period, the unstable factors in the Royal City of Polyvisia have just been cleared, and the Thunder Legion has initially taken control of the situation in the Royal City and surrounding areas. Now the scouts are out and the falcons are flying, just to understand the overall situation of the war. Clean up the Royal City
Two months have been wasted in the surrounding towns and the Royal City of Polyvisia. Now it depends on the situation on the mainland of the kingdom and whether the Rock Legion has taken any action.
Three days later, Claude received a report of the great battle on Saint-Rusque Island from the Ironclad Fleet. The defeat of the Hicks Kingdom's Sea King Fleet made Claude relieved. This eliminated the entire eastern sea area facing the Sea King Fleet's surprise attack.
Threat. However, the landing of the two Hicks standing legions who came for reinforcements made Claude a little worried, and he hurriedly ordered the scout cavalry to conduct reconnaissance in the five northeastern counties of the Kingdom of Nasseri.
At that time, the first division of the Thunder Legion penetrated diagonally from the territory of the Principality of Sidings into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Nasseri, just like a person stabbed in the waist with a knife, heading straight to the Royal City of Polyvisia, allowing Nasseri to
The kingdom was defenseless. Then Claude led the second division into the Kingdom of Nasseri along the same path, and divided his forces to sweep the sixteen local counties in the central part of the Kingdom of Nasseri. As a result, only five northeastern counties were left in the Kingdom of Nasseri.
and the seven southwest counties were not attacked by the Thunder Legion.
The five northeastern counties of the Nasseri Kingdom are all coastal areas, and the seven southwest counties are border counties connected to the Kingdom of Ovilas. Before the First Eastern War, there were only two border counties in the southwest of the Nasseri Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Ovelas has thirty-two local counties, plus the Ibiniste Plain, and is the largest country in the eastern region. After five years of war in the eastern region, the Kingdom of Ovelas has a new occupied territory, and the entire eastern region
Two-thirds of the territory belongs to the Kingdom of Overas, and it has become the dominant power in the eastern region of Farea continent.
It is a pity that the colonial wars that occurred in the overseas territories and the civil war in the kingdom caused by the two kings fighting for the throne in the kingdom. In addition, Prince Widrik, who was also King Sterling XI, became the king.
Feeling distressed, he sold half of the five border counties to the Nasseri Kingdom in one breath, and exchanged a large amount of funds and loans for military expenses. Only then did he drive the eldest prince and his subordinates out of the kingdom and go to the newly occupied kingdom.
land.
However, this resulted in a significant reduction in the kingdom's territory. Only twenty-seven of the original thirty-two local counties in the kingdom were left. At the same time, the twenty-three local counties in the newly occupied territory were abandoned, causing the Kingdom of Overas to expand from the east.
The regional hegemonic power was downgraded to a weak country with a medium-sized land area, even inferior to the Kingdom of Nasseri. Therefore, it became a lost dog in the eyes of the Eastern Regional League of Nations and was almost destroyed.
Now with the reinforcements of the Overseas Dominion's Thunder Legion and Rock Legion, the Kingdom of Overas turned defeat into victory. The Principality of Sidings and the Principality of Rimodra were once again destroyed because of the capture of the two grand dukes and their families. These two principalities later became
There is no need to think about the restoration of the country. The Thunder Legion's surprise attack on the Royal City of Polyvisia and the sweeping away of most of the Nasseri Kingdom have made it impossible for this country, the sworn enemy of the Ovelas Kingdom, to stand up again, and the forgetfulness of the country is just around the corner.
However, the Thunder Legion fell into an unexpected crisis...
"What the hell are they doing! It's simply unreasonable!" Claude was very angry. The good situation was actually messed up by those bastards in the temporary royal court. He never dreamed that those in the kingdom who had vowed to fight against the invaders would
The high-ranking officials and nobles of the Eastern Region National Alliance Army who fought for their lives actually sent the invading troops out of the country and peacefully recovered the Ibiniste Plain and the Royal Capital, as well as the lost local counties...
In the past two months, while the Thunder Legion was busy clearing out the resistance militants in the towns and cities around the Royal City of Polyvisia, the alliance troops that invaded the Kingdom's mainland began to withdraw. At this time, some of the troops who were still in the Kingdom's mainland
There are three legions from the Kingdom of Nasseri, three standing legions from the Kingdom of Hicks, a division from the Principality of Karnas, and two new legions from the Principality of Sidings and the Principality of Rimodra, totaling nearly fifty
Thousands of horses and horses.
Although the Alliance army has a large number of troops, it is no longer a threat. The Principality of Sidings and the Principality of Rimodra have been destroyed. The two newly-established legions have no fighting spirit and wish to surrender early so that they can go home and live their lives. The three members of the Kingdom of Nasseri
Because the royal city was occupied, the legion was eager to return to the country for rescue, and was unwilling to stay in the Kingdom of Overas. The three standing legions of the Kingdom of Hicks and a light cavalry regiment of the Principality of Karnas were also cut off because their retreat was cut off.
They have no intention of staying in the kingdom to resist the attack of the Rock Legion. Of course, even if they want to resist, they can't resist at all...
Therefore, the alliance troops began to withdraw from the kingdom. They first withdrew from the second line of defense to the first line of defense, and then withdrew from the first line of defense to the royal capital. After the Rock Army discovered the enemy's movements, they began to pursue them.
Like a lone wolf hiding in the shadows, he is always ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy, biting off the enemy's fat in one bite.
No one dared to ignore the threat posed by the Rock Legion to the retreating Alliance army. Therefore, the senior officers and commanding officers of the Alliance army did not hesitate to throw out the two new legions from the two principalities to block the retreat.
The attack route of the Rock Legion. Perhaps in their eyes, these two new legions, like lost dogs, are just a burden to them, not their companions and comrades-in-arms.
The two new legions of the extinct principality also surrendered to the Rock Legion as soon as they were abandoned. The best choice at this time is for the Rock Legion to leave the matter of gathering and surrendering these two new legions to the forbidden army who came later.
Guards Legion, Griffin Legion and Red Dragon Legion. Then they continue to chase the retreating Alliance troops, forcing the enemy to constantly divide their troops to intercept them. These troops will become big fat meat that falls into the mouth of the Rock Legion...
.
If this is done, even if the Alliance troops eventually withdraw from the Kingdom of Orvilas, they will have become a group with serious internal conflicts, and their strength will be reduced by at least half. No one is willing to sacrifice themselves to help others, especially during the retreat. And Rock
The target of the legion is the three standing legions of the Kingdom of Hicks and the light cavalry of the Principality of Karrnath, which is one division strong, and is determined not to allow these two armies to return to the territory of the Kingdom of Nasseri.
But all plans were disrupted by the Guards Corps, the Griffin Corps and the Red Dragon Corps who came over. They refused to accept the management and collection tasks of the two new legions that had surrendered, and insisted on chasing the retreating troops.
Alliance Army. At the same time, the senior officers of the Kingdom's Army Ministry and the powerful nobles of the Provisional Royal Court expressed to Frederick I that the achievements of the Rock Legion were already very great, and it was time for the newly formed and reorganized three legions to perform well.
Performance......
So Frederic I ordered the Rock Legion to serve as his personal guard. This was a great honor, and General Bolognik and General Bichklin refused to do so. The Praetorian Guards, the Griffin Legion and the Red Dragon Legion
Then he got his wish and became the main armed force chasing the evacuation of the Alliance troops.
The problem is that the retreating Alliance army is afraid of the Rock Legion and is not afraid of the Guards, Griffin and Red Dragon Legions that are chasing behind them. It has been nearly three years since the war began, and these three legions have long been familiar to the Alliance army.
No one knew how much the opponent weighed. It was discovered that the men and horses chasing behind had been replaced by these three legions. The alliance armed forces quickly set up their positions on the Ibiniste Plains and had a head-on confrontation with the three chasing legions.
The final battle in the kingdom itself.
As expected, the three legions once again hit a hard nail and hit the iron plate. Although both sides were very loud in the battle on the Ibiniste Plains this time, the battle went very quickly, retreating at the first touch, and the casualties were very small.
, only the Red Dragon Legion chasing at the front suffered a big loss, losing two regiments of troops again. The Guards Legion and the Griffin Legion saw that the situation was not good, and turned around quickly, without even meeting the Alliance army.
....
How can I put it, in the temporary royal court, when the three legions faced the Rock Legion, they could still work together to take greater advantage from the Rock Legion. But if the Rock Legion threw a large amount of military supplies to them, then these three armies would
The two legions immediately started fighting among themselves, each wanting to get the most benefit. The same was true for the Alliance troops who were chasing the retreat this time. The Red Dragon Legion was eager to make contributions and pursued the fastest, but as a result, more than 10,000 troops were lost.
The Imperial Guards and the Griffin Legion that followed had no belief in sharing the same enemy to rescue and cooperate with the Red Dragon Legion that was fighting. Instead, they gloated about the misfortune and moved in first, standing outside to watch the fun. The officers and soldiers of the Red Dragon Legion gritted their teeth with hatred.
He could only admit that he was unlucky and quickly evacuated the battlefield, breaking away from contact with the alliance army.
If after the Battle of Ibiniste Plains, the Rock Legion could go to pursue the retreating Alliance troops again, then the plan formulated by the Dominion Military District could still be completed. However, the three previous legions concealed the unfavorable situation of the battle and continued the so-called pursuit.
.In fact, they maintained a tacit understanding with the alliance army, waiting for the alliance army to withdraw before retaking the lost territory. In this way, the three major legions successfully recovered the royal capital and various lost local counties, and sent the alliance army almost as a gift.
Returned to the Kingdom of Nasseri.
The alliance troops who arrived in the seven southwest counties of the Nasseri Kingdom cheered up again, because this was already their territory. The seven southwest border counties have set up complete defense facilities and lines of defense, which are enough to withstand the attack of the Rock Legion. The most important thing is
Fortunately, they still have more than 400,000 combat troops, and this armed force was not damaged during the retreat...
This couldn't help but make Claude angry, because when the scout light cavalry team reported the situation detected, Claude discovered that the situation faced by the Thunder Legion was very serious. The five northeastern counties of the Nasseri Kingdom gathered together to build the new Nasseri Kingdom.
Two standing legions from the Kingdom of Hicks, two standing legions from the Hicks Kingdom for reinforcements, and a new light cavalry legion urgently recruited by the Principality of Karnas, with a strength of nearly 300,000.
The seven southwest counties of the Nasseri Kingdom are composed of more than 400,000 troops that have been withdrawn from the kingdom. Originally, only half of the 400,000 troops in the original plan could be left. If they were involved with the Rock Legion, they would not have any impact on the Thunder Legion.
Threat. But now, the enemy forces in the northeast and southwest have exceeded the Thunder Legion ten times. It is obvious that their next goal must be to regain the Royal City of Polyvisia...
The first and second divisions of the Thunder Legion in the Royal City of Polyvisia have a total strength of less than 70,000, and are unable to fully deal with the enemy. Because there is also a huge fortune collected from homes in the royal city, more than 100,000
prisoners, as well as more than 200,000 isolated captives’ families, all of which require troops to guard...
