Chapter 477 Pressure Princess Lana wants a prayer day gift
Marquis Raeven ignored the annoying group and looked at Gazef with a friendly smile on his face.
"Your Excellency Dragon King, do you have any specific plans?"
Speaking of the word "Dragon King".
Marquis Raeven lowered his voice and his tone became respectful, because he heard that the dragon race was born with powerful perception abilities.
He wasn't sure if the Blue Sky Dragon King could hear him talking here, so he had to be careful.
"It made us send troops immediately."
Gazef sighed inwardly and responded.
"Is that so?"
Marquis Raeven looked as if he had expected this, and wasn't at all surprised by the answer.
Instead, the other nobles in the room were in an uproar, and the noise that had just been suppressed rang out again and became even more intense.
"Shut up!"
Marquis Raeven shouted, his eyes glaring fiercely at the group: "Where do you think this place is?"
"Who do you think you are? How can we interfere with what the almighty Dragon King does?"
The current situation.
It reminded him of his little son, who liked to lie on the grass in the manor and watch two nests of ants fighting.
For the ants, the youngest son could easily decide who would win by simply helping out, but how could a group of ants interfere with the thoughts of a higher being?
"Then follow the plan."
Marquis Raeven raised his hand to support his forehead and waved to the crowd below:
"Your Excellency the Azure Sky Dragon King is backing us up. There's no need to delay any further. Let's get started!"
The order was given.
On the battlefield of the reddish-brown earth.
The kingdom had about 100,000 troops, divided into three battle formations: 30,000 on the left wing, 30,000 on the right wing, and nearly 40,000 in the center.
In addition, there are also elite troops of 1,000 each from the "Gazef Army" and the "Crimson Rose Army".
"drink!!"
"drink!!"
The 30,000 infantrymen on the left wing were the first to move!
All the soldiers held up nearly three-meter-long spears in their hands, forming a moving forest of spears and advancing towards the Empire.
Such a movement!
The news was immediately received by the Empire, and the captains and division commanders on the front line reported it step by step.
"They really took the lead."
"Advancing in battle formation with spears is truly a foolish move."
"I thought Marquis Raeven was quite capable, but I didn't expect his level to be just this low."
Sneering and sarcastic comments were heard in the imperial headquarters.
The spear formation is not suitable as an offensive formation, but rather as a defensive formation. This formation was originally prepared by the kingdom to deal with the empire's heavy cavalry.
The dense formation, coupled with heavy weapons, lacks the ability to respond to the enemy's rapid actions and is only suitable for defending against the opponent's charge!
"The time it takes to draw troops from the various nobles and then integrate them is too short."
"There's no time to train formations, so we can only use the means we're best at."
Some people make rational comments.
Kingdoms and empires are completely different in various systems.
Especially the army. The Imperial Army was headed by the commanders of each command group as generals, and under them were division commanders and battalion commanders, forming a fairly stable organizational structure.
In the kingdom, each noble leads his own troops or provides them with manpower, and each unit will act according to the ideas of its own faction.
Marquis Raven was able to control a chaotic army of 100,000 people in a short period of time, which shows his level and ability.
"Since the Kingdom's actions are consistent with our predictions, then we'll proceed with the predicted matchup!"
The commander-in-chief general made the final decision with a majestic voice.
"Yes, General!"
"Yes, General!"
"Yes, General!" The neat voice of obedience to the order rang out.
Shouts and cries of killing rang out on the battlefield.
Thirty thousand kingdom soldiers began to charge towards the imperial formation.
Long iron spears!
It emits a sharp cold light, piercing through the cold air and continuing to advance.
Compare the overall number of troops on both sides.
The Kingdom clearly had the advantage, as the total number of troops sent by the Empire was only 60,000.
Naturally, they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but the soldiers that made up the Kingdom's army were almost all farmers, while the Empire's soldiers were professional.
The soldiers recruited by the kingdom were all peasants from the various noble territories. In the final analysis, it was just to let the peasants take up arms.
However, the Empire spent time and money to train its soldiers, which is why every war between the Empire and the Kingdom over the years was a small-scale war.
To the Blood Emperor.
As long as the kingdom's peasants are sent to the battlefield, the goal will be achieved. Unless necessary, the empire will not deliberately waste soldiers that have been trained at great cost and time.
"The Kingdom's left wing troops have reached the center of the battlefield!"
"Have the archers ready. Don't worry about losing arrows. The first three waves will fire together, and the fourth wave will start firing randomly!"
"Magic support team, get ready!"
"Move to 300m and apply magic buff to the archer troops!"
Instructions were issued one by one in an orderly and quick manner.
The air was torn apart.
“Swoosh—swoosh—!”
Short, high-pitched sounds, seemingly enough to pierce the eardrums, shot out densely from the imperial camp and turned into black shadows filling the sky.
The arrow feathers continued to rub against each other, vibrating with a buzzing sound that made one's teeth ache.
Duh!
An arrow drew a curved arc in the air and shot into the forehead of a frightened and dazed kingdom soldier.
"……ah!"
"ah!"
"No!!"
In an instant, the kingdom's left wing suffered thousands of casualties.
“Don’t stop!”
"Charge forward! Anyone who cuts off the head of an imperial soldier will be rewarded with three silver coins."
A loud roar from the commander came from behind.
The fear of the nobles and the incentive of money immediately made the frightened soldiers pick up their weapons again and charge again.
However, the originally neat lineup has shown signs of chaos.
The magic troops on the side of the Empire.
There are not many people, only about 20, among whom the commander is a 30-year-old outstanding talent who can use second-level magic.
"Pooh!"
"These people in the kingdom are really stingy." A magic chanter used magic to hear the encouraging voice of the kingdom's commander.
"The heads of our imperial soldiers are only worth three silver coins?"
"Not just ordinary stinginess! Corrupt aristocrats!"
"Our total army of 60,000 is only worth less than 15,000 gold coins?"
"Assholes! I'm going to kill them!"
A group of magic casters shouted angrily.
Before the two armies actually came into contact, the losses of the left wing corps had already risen sharply when they rushed in front of the imperial cavalry.
The number of injured people has approached 3,000!
As soon as the war began, there were high casualties.
The kingdom's nobles didn't care.
Marquis Raven was also calm. Facing the defender, the attacking side would naturally suffer more casualties, which was within a reasonable range.
The high ground of the kingdom's headquarters.
Marquis Raven and his men gazed at the battlefield where the two sides had already collided, analyzing the combat power and deployment of the imperial soldiers.
Prepare for the second wave of attack!
"well."
Gazef frowned deeply and sighed inwardly. This kind of behavior of testing people's lives made him feel powerless.
Although he is now extremely famous, he still cannot change the nobles' contempt for him, nor is he qualified to interfere with the nobles' decisions.
"Marquis Raeven, this formation isn't suitable for attacking, and spear-type weapons will also consume a lot of stamina in advance."
Gazef was silent for a moment, then finally spoke: "If we continue like this, our casualties will only increase."
"kindness."
Marquis Raeven's face remained calm as he nodded in agreement, his eyes dark. "A very stupid attack method, isn't it?"
"Sir Gazef, could you please speculate on what countermeasures the Empire will take?"
The air was still.
Gazef was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Marquis Raeven himself would call this a "very stupid attack."
"...Your Excellency, the Marquis, is very direct."
Gazef smiled wryly, and after some thought, he seemed to understand: "It should be mainly defense."
"I think Mr. Gazef is quite straightforward and the type that people like."
Marquis Raeven smiled softly and glanced at Lenas.
"Sir Lennas, do you have any ideas?"
"No."
Renas responded calmly, "You are the commander-in-chief of the legion. Just let me do whatever needs to be done."
Faced with this indifference.
Marquis Raeven shrugged his shoulders, a slight smile on his resolute face, and he didn't care.
She had investigated Lenas and found out that apart from being close to Princess Lana, she was cold towards everyone else and didn't even attend the banquet.
This is quite offensive behavior!
Marquis Raven, however, believed that it was a kind of wisdom that could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Taking the initiative to attack is foolish, but we have no choice but to do it." Marquis Raven retracted his gaze and looked back at the battlefield.
The Empire will definitely take defensive measures!
They will even continue to be on the defensive, and their kingdom can only continue to attack.
The pressure on the Blue Sky Dragon King is not just from the empire!
"Three days!"
"Three days at most." Marquis Raeven gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice.
Renas and Gazef were both smart people and understood that the "three-day deadline" was given to the Dragon King by Marquis Raeven.
——The third princess’ bedroom.
Tang Zheng's communication with Princess Lana continues.
"This sudden war was never a war between a kingdom and an empire."
Princess Lana seemed a little hot. She opened one of the buttons on her chest, revealing her snow-white neck. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said:
"The Council Nation 'supports' the Kingdom, and the Silian Theocracy 'supports' the Empire. This is a test between the Council Nation and the Silian Theocracy."
Very clear conclusion!
This fact is not difficult for the smartest people in various countries to guess. The more they think about it, the more they feel a sense of sadness and powerlessness.
Princess Lana did not share this sentiment.
Although he was sitting upright with a cute and innocent face, he showed a complete difference.
"The Silian Theocracy cannot refuse, and with the Baharus Empire before us, there are only two options."
"Resist with all your might or surrender. For the Theocracy, if the Empire is defeated, the Kingdom will inevitably fall completely to the Council."
"Then~, the Silian Theocracy's strategy of using the Kingdom as a barrier between the Council Nations will be ineffective. This is not what the Silian Theocracy wants to see."
Princess Lana gently shook her white and tender fingers, looking cute.
There was a slight change in Tang Zheng's lazy and indifferent expression.
Could it be inferred that the Kingdom was a barrier between the Silian Theocracy and the Council?
This woman...
Snap—pop!
Tang Zheng raised his hands and clapped gently, a look of praise on his face: "Your wisdom is ignored by the royal family, which is a loss to the entire kingdom."
"It's a great honor."
Princess Lana's eyebrows arched even more noticeably, her body trembling slightly as she leaned forward. "Sir Tang could have come up with such a guess."
but.
After all, there was a fatal omission, and Tang Zheng knew it better than Princess Lana.
If the Kingdom is behind the Council, then the Platinum Dragon King is behind the Council!
Princess Lana did not know the difference between the Platinum Dragon King and the other Dragon Kings, so she treated the Council Kingdom as a whole.
There will be a huge difference between speculating based on the entire Review Nation and speculating based on the individual Platinum Dragon King!
This is not Princess Lana's problem, but a miscalculation of intelligence.
"Oh, three days?"
Tang Zheng's eyes moved, and he didn't guard against Princess Lana. He nodded slightly and muttered to himself.
Princess Lana's shoulders paused.
She knew that this was Lenas on the battlefield, passing information to Tang Zheng.
"What a convenient ability."
Princess Lana picked up the teacup on the table and drank it elegantly. It was the same warm water as Tang Zheng's, and she thought to herself.
After listening to Lenas' report on the situation on the front line.
Tang Zheng's eyes just happened to meet Princess Lana's slightly resentful gaze.
"Your Highness, have you made any new discoveries?" Tang Zheng asked with a smile.
"That's not the case."
"I'm just a little sad that Mr. Tang doesn't really treat me as his own."
When Princess Lana was just analyzing the situation, her coldness and indifference disappeared, and her innocent princess image naturally emerged:
"I have clearly gone to a dangerous place like the Council Nation on behalf of Mr. Tang."
Tang Zheng remembered that Princess Lana had the general profession of [Actress], which seemed to be level 4. He originally didn't know what the acting level of this profession was.
At this moment, I could really feel it from Princess Lana.
"Hahaha."
Tang Zheng laughed. He didn't need to ask Princess Lana about her sudden question. He just asked back:
"Why do you say that?"
"Mr. Tang gave a prayer day gift to Renas but not to me. Isn't that a bit biased?"
Princess Lana spoke in a normal tone, acting like a spoiled child. She raised her white, tender fingers and pointed at the magic thermos on the table:
"The most valuable item in the entire room is this thermos."
A prayer day gift?
Tang Zheng didn't think that Lenas would tell Princess Lana about this, so the other party discovered it through the details.
"Eight Fingers doesn't need this little money."
Tang Zheng laughed, then changed his tone and said casually: "Maybe there will be extra gifts on this year's prayer day."
"Oh, really?"
Princess Lana's sapphire-like eyes lit up, as if she hadn't heard the hidden meaning in the words. Her spirits lifted, and she suppressed her inner excitement and said:
“I’m really looking forward to this year’s Day of Prayer.”
This is more than just a gift.
But it was the true recognition of her by this mysterious man in front of her.
