Judging from the frequent contact between Angie Beina and Sophie Lina, the witch conclave has a tendency to fall in love with the Lancelot royal family. After all, its conflict with the Holy Ether Church is irreconcilable, and they would rather take advantage of the Lancelot royal family.
, and do not want the Manyu Army to fall into the hands of the Holy Ether Church.
Therefore, the one who was most nervous about Regent Princess Sophilia's actions was the Holy Ether Church. As soon as she made a move, the Holy Ether Church responded.
His Majesty Pope Deltron of the Holy See of Saint Ether, this 143-year-old old pope, personally preached and issued a Holy See assembly order, calling on the Holy See knights to go to the Manyu Army to fight for their faith.
There were a lot of responders.
These fanatical believers prepared their own rations, horses and weapons, either alone, with their own entourage, or in groups, and they embarked on the journey fearlessly.
Many of the people here had never even touched weapons before, and their furthest distance was no more than a few dozen miles from their own homes. They didn't even know which direction Manyu's army was leading.
Fanatical beliefs can sometimes cause people to lose their most basic judgment.
In this expedition that most people were destined to never return, it is unknown whether these fanatics regretted it. However, Cardinal St. George, who was far away from the Manyu Army, received a steady stream of reinforcements. This is
An indisputable fact.
Even in the years after the war led by Man Yu's army had settled, there were still a steady stream of fanatical believers from the Holy Ether Church, but that was a story for another day.
This phenomenon is nothing new in an era when information exchange is extremely backward. It is even more common for some knights to be fully armed to participate in wars that ended decades ago.
However, Sean knew that the reason why Princess Regent Sophia Liya mobilized so many troops was not because of Army Leader Manyu, but because of herself and because of the Yongye Group Army's Jacob Jiang Fuliu Plan.
Compared to the Jacobs River reflow plan, no matter in terms of area, population, or subsequent influence, it is not something that Manyu Military Leader can compare with.
Once the operation is done well, the political capital Sophia Liya will gain from it is absolutely beyond imagination.
Yes, Sean has received an accurate reply. The regent Princess Sophia has decided to participate in this huge gamble that will change the natural environment.
Red Rose Amelia's weight in front of Sophia Liya is much heavier than the Eternal Night Army had estimated.
In any case, this is great news for the Yongye Group Army. They can now go ahead and get on with it.
The incident of beasts returning to ancient times, the invasion of mountain Kentana barbarians, the merger and annexation of the Walled City Alliance... a series of emergencies caused the population of the Yongye Army to grow in a spurt instead of a snowball.
It has already reached the upper limit of 500,000 yuan that the Yongye Group Army originally estimated for the normal supply of the ancient Jacob River channel.
In the initial development plan of the Yongye Group Army, this would take ten to fifteen years to complete. Even though it was repeatedly advanced due to various emergencies, at the summary meeting years ago, they optimistically estimated that they still had three to five years left.
Years of preparation time.
Unexpectedly, the year is not even halfway through and it has already been reached.
Fortunately, there are now more fish catches from the Andis Inland Lake and additional supplies from the Kogel Prairie Pasture, which raises the upper limit of the normal supply by dozens of percentage points.
But at the current development speed of the Yongye Group Army, without additional events, it would only take a year or two to achieve it.
The Spring Thunder Plan is imminent.
Now it seems that the Yongye Group Army's choice to bring in the regent Princess Sophia from the very beginning was an extremely wise decision.
Before the launch of the Spring Thunder Plan, the Yongye Group Army could barely maintain its food supply. It was good that it could not save any excess food.
In the first two years after the Spring Thunder Plan was launched, the bulk of the food supply would fall on the regent Princess Sophia.
Therefore, the previous verbal agreement between the two parties seems to be somewhat unsafe in the eyes of Yongye Group Army. In order to secure this ally, Yongye Group Army must throw out more good things at the appropriate time.
At this point, the Yongye Army is not too worried. Not to mention the enchanted equipment that is gradually taking shape, the series of special products that the Yongye Army now has are full of temptation.
The slave rebel army, which had not taken any major military action for nearly a year and a half, was forced to take military action in the face of a serious food crisis.
The target was neither the new Archduke Patram of the Manyu Army nor Viscount Philip. Instead, they all went south and entered the Carthusian Army ruled by the Kingsley family.
After a year and a half of training and reorganization, the slave rebel army finally looked like a regular army.
Dikron's method of using troops was as flexible as ever. Starbuck led a large army of slave rebels to approach head-on. He personally led more than 5,000 of the most elite slave rebels to ambush behind the Kingsley family's army.
A beautiful front and rear attack was carried out, and a main army of the Kingsley family was defeated.
But it just stops there.
In the words of the Military Staff of the Yongye Group Army.
The slave rebels attacked the wrong target at the wrong time.
If this beautiful front and rear attack had been a year and a half ago, the slave rebel army was at its most glorious, even a year ago.
It is possible for the slave rebel army to sweep through the cartel military territory.
But now, even if Buck Kingsley, the contemporary Grand Duke of the Cartel Army, is a fatuous and incompetent person, it is time for him to react.
What's more, the opponent is known for being shrewd and ruthless. He is nicknamed the Red-tailed Viper in the Byron Alliance. He either lies dormant in his cave and does not move. Once he launches an attack, it will definitely be fatal.
The most important thing is that the slave rebels underestimated the wealth and wealth of the Kingsley family. The 50,000 well-equipped troops at the front were all bait disguised as slaves. The real elite of the Kingsley family were dormant just now.
Several forts were built.
When the slave rebel army ate the bait thrown by the Kingsley family, they were completely exposed. The nearly 100,000 elite members of the Kingsley family, guided by the stag flag, came out in full force to fight with the slave rebel army in an upright manner.
Remember to go head-to-head.
It has to be said that the commander-in-chief of the Kingsley family army, Akhmer Kingsley, is also the number one figure. Before this, he had thoroughly understood the situation of the slave rebel army and saw that the slave rebel army had poor frontal combat capabilities.
Weaknesses, set traps to force the opponent to fight head-on.
After a year and a half of reorganization, the slave rebel army has become somewhat like a regular army and its equipment is much better, but it is really hard to say how much its combat effectiveness has been improved because the internal rot is faster.
The composition of the slave rebel army is too mixed. At the beginning, there was external pressure to survive, but they were still united and had the courage to fight to the death for survival.
When the external pressure of survival eases, all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts begin to spread.
They didn't have a foresighted leader like Sean, who stuck to this issue from the beginning, and even established a supervisory mechanism and supervisory department as a precaution.
Among the two leaders of the slave rebel army, Dikron was a typical example of high military ability but low political wisdom. This aspect was his shortcoming.
Starbuck had received education in this area and had been in the aristocratic circle, but he did not absorb many of the advantages, and he was contaminated with various bad habits, which played more of a counterproductive role.
The internal divisions of the slave rebel army were so fast that Starbuck played a decisive role in the rapid degeneration and corruption.
If the slave rebel army only had Dikron as its leader from beginning to end, it's really hard to say what the situation would be like now.
In all, nearly 300,000 people participated in the war. Even if you look at the entire Ashan, it is a very large-scale battle.
No one battle can determine the outcome, especially when there is a super commander like Di Kelong, whose keen battlefield insights and ruthless and decisive methods will have a direct impact on the battle situation.
After several consecutive years of fierce battles, Dikron has completely transformed from a gladiator into a strategic commander.
When he realized that nothing could be done, he took the initiative to cut off his tail, abandoned the main force that was bitten by the Kingsley family army, and took advantage of the complex terrain of the cartel area to launch mobile guerrilla tactics.
The shortcomings of the Kingsley family's army were undoubtedly exposed at this time. Just like the Evernight Army, they were mainly infantry, with a pitifully small number of cavalry.
Without the cooperation of cavalry, it would be difficult to fight a total annihilation campaign.
However, the situation of the slave rebel army is still getting worse day by day, because behind them there are the remaining aristocratic forces led by Manyu Army.
If the slave rebels still maintained their glorious record of invincibility, they might really be able to pretend to be deaf and mute and let them rush into the cartel's territory.
Now the slave rebel army is showing its weakness. It has been unable to break through the Kingsley family's army defense line and has fallen into a stalemate. They rushed up like jackals smelling fishy smell, preparing to take the opportunity to completely kill them to prevent slave uprising.
The army was desperate and came back to harm them.
It was a huge melee.
The Kingsley family army, Philip's aristocratic private army, and the mixed army of Patram and the Holy Ether Church not only fought fiercely with the slave rebels, but the three parties were definitely not in harmony. Although there was no fighting on the surface,
There are constant little tricks in private. Today you eat my small team, and tomorrow I will rob your food and grass. Of course, the slave rebel army will take the blame.
Needless to say, the conflict between Philip and Patram was irreconcilable. Now it is not only a power struggle between the two, but also a struggle between the royal family of Lancelot and the Holy See of Saint Ether.
In the power game between the slave rebels, the weaker the slave rebel army became, the more intense the conflict between the two parties became.
The conflict between Philip, Patram and the Kingsley family can only be said to be that the natural disaster led by the Manyu Army was too serious. Even these official regular troops were almost out of food.
As mentioned before, whether it is the royal family of Lancelot or the Holy See of Saint Ether, it is very difficult to transport the aid due to the distance. It can only provide emergency relief, but cannot cure the root cause.
What's more, their assistance is not impermanent, and those who charge real money and silver are good. Most of them need to be exchanged for future benefits from the Manyu Army.
Neither Philip nor Patram were willing to take this move unless absolutely necessary.
The wealthy Kingsley family has naturally become the fattest sheep. If you don't rob them, they will rob anyone.
Although Dikron tried his best to move around and make detours, the space left for him to perform was getting smaller and smaller, because there was only one direction in which he could break through - the leader of the Carter Army.
For them, the Manyu military leader has become a desperate situation with nothing to grab. The only Yongye Group Army that can provide them with assistance is now in a state of food shortage and has no time to take care of itself. How can there be any extra food to support them?
When the strategic goal is known to the enemy, no matter how good the strategies and tactics Di Kelong has, they are in vain.
If no miracle happens, the slave rebel army that has turned the entire Manyu Army upside down will come to its own end and end in tragedy.
The reason why miracles are called miracles is because they rarely happen. The slave rebel army did not wait for its own miracle. What they waited for was a complete internal split.
Dixon and Starbuck completely parted ways.
At the end of the road, the two men's political views once again fundamentally conflicted.
Starbuck believes that the slave rebel army is hopeless. At this time, the most elite part of the slave rebel army should be selected and break into the Carter Army. It won't take long for them to make a comeback in the Carter Army. Here
There are countless natural sources of soldiers.
Dikron firmly opposed it, thinking it was a betrayal, and was unwilling to abandon the large army of slave rebels.
This is an irreparable, fundamental break.
On the second day of the breakup, Starbuck led eight thousand elites loyal to him and left the temporary base camp of the slave rebel army. In name, it was a division of troops, but in fact it was a breakup, never to return.
News came again. It was already a few weeks later. Starbuck ran thousands of miles along the border between the Cartel Army and Manyu Army. He first broke into the Asia Minor plains and plundered. Before the local defenders could react,
, with a sudden change of direction, they broke through the border and entered the area controlled by the cartel army.
Wherever he goes, he conquers cities and lands, conquers every enemy and is victorious, and his followers are like clouds.
The pattern they followed was generally the same as the original pattern adopted by the slave rebel army under the leadership of Manyu Army.
The reason why the slave rebels kept a close eye on the Carter military leaders was that they ignored the rich plains of Asia Minor.
Except for the plains of Asia Minor, there are two behemoths, the royal family of Lancelot and the Holy See of Saint Ether, which they cannot afford to offend.
The most important thing is that the slave settlement in most areas has been completed decades ago. As long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, even those living at the bottom can barely make ends meet.
As long as they have enough to eat, no one will rebel against them.
Once they get there, they are truly rogue bandits. They can only plunder and run away, leaving no room for them to take root.
The Carter military leader with millions of mining slaves is the paradise they dream of.
Starbuck also seems to be telling the world with practical actions that he is not strategically incompetent. Even if he leaves Dikron, he can get along like a fish in water.
However, his reputation gradually began to stink, especially among the slave rebels, who had learned that Starbuck had abandoned them.
No one likes betrayal, and most people hate betrayers more than enemies.
Starbuck's behavior completely angered the Kingsley family. Regardless of whether the slave rebels were a real breakup or a fake breakup, they were all invaders and enemies in their eyes.
It was impossible for them to leave the main force of the slave rebel army alone and pursue and intercept Starbuck's partial army.
The most correct choice should be to completely eliminate the main force of the slave rebel army and then quickly return to the division's territory.
