"It will probably take about a week. The northern border is full of forests, and the carriages don't run fast." Laelis answered softly.
At that moment, an orc messenger arrived at the door. He looked inside the house, found Reiner, and waved a letter in his hand: "Lord Reiner, here is an urgent message from Eugen in the Elayne Territory."
Nora trotted over to take the letter, then ran towards Reiner and handed him the envelope.
Reiner tore open the letter and read the words carefully.
Lalith and Paige came over and looked at him from beside him.
The general content of this letter is.
The Hero King of Barnet has reached a ceasefire agreement with other countries and has now secretly assembled a legion and a special team with unknown intelligence in the heart of Barnet.
At the same time, he also asked Eugen to cooperate with him, using the intelligence he currently had, to take advantage of the fierce fighting on the front line to suddenly mutiny in the rear and steal the ass.
Reiner scratched his head and said softly, "He's anxious to stop fighting so quickly and come to deal with us."
Lelith smiled and said, "Of course, although the economies of the towns we lost weren't particularly developed, Barnet only had about a dozen towns before. After all this turmoil, we've lost nearly one-tenth of our territory."
Peggy scratched her ear. "If this army is the same size as before, it would probably have 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers... This should be the whole country's strength, right?"
Laelisi shook her head: "Not only that, my clone visited their western front. Although the quality of the legions there is uneven, the number of people is large. The three legions have a total of about 40,000 people.
Barnet has now mobilized almost all of its troops, except those stationed at the border, and is also recruiting soldiers on a large scale."
Reiner roughly calculated that the legion had about 60,000 to 70,000 people. It was obvious that King Barnett was serious about it.
A trace of evil flashed across Lelith's face. "They are nothing but ants. As long as someone takes action, they will be easily killed by forces beyond their knowledge. I can't wait to hear their miserable stories!"
Reiner knocked on her head like he was knocking on a door. "Evil is overflowing again. I'd like you to investigate that particular unit. We don't fight a battle we're not prepared for."
The corners of Lelith's mouth curled up as she continued to talk to herself, "If only Satoros were still alive, he would be able to easily deal with enemies of this size. He could roast them all with just one fire! Ahahahahahaha!"
Aliana nudged Lalith's butt with her staff, her eyes full of disgust.
Reiner said softly, "We should capture as many as we can. It would be a waste to kill such a large army. We need population in the early days of the nation. Even if we don't use them for fighting, they can serve as cheap labor.
Even if I were to use this muscular body to plow the land, I'm sure I could do it quickly and effectively."
Lailisi blinked, then sighed softly: "My man, I can't control so many people at once. Each clone can only control one or two hundred people, which is the limit."
Reiner scratched his head.
His gaze fell on the elf again: "Potato, how many people can you control with magic at the same time?"
"Theoretically, this depends on your specific total amount of magic power. If the magic crystal absorbs a certain amount of darkness, it can control a certain number of people. Have you seen your magic crystal turn black? The black area represents a certain amount of darkness. The more people you control, the larger the black area will be.
Other elements cannot flow into that area unless you release the control, then the dark elements will enter a new flowing state."
So many people were captured in the last battle.
