Glory Riding and Cutting

"The current situation is very clear. In Ming Dynasty, there are three forces: the second prince, the eldest prince and the fifth prince. The second prince is sitting in the capital, and according to the information, he has already received the support of some nobles, and he has also recruited from the Slovak mainland. A powerful mercenary team.

The eldest prince is at the border and is actively wooing border nobles with stronger military strength. However, the border nobles have just finished the war with the Eagle Kingdom and need to cultivate their health. Some of them do not want to participate in the civil war. He has not yet been able to lead the army back to the capital.

The five princes rely on Grand Duke Mayweather, the 'Northern Shield'. Twenty years ago, Grand Duke Mayweather led the Northern Allied Forces to repel the desert tribes who gathered to resist Gaoling, and personally killed the leader of the tribal alliance. Therefore, it is very prestigious in the Northland. At this time, in the name of the fifth prince, there is already a faint intention to separate the Northland, which was originally controlled by the Gaoling royal family, from the Emperor Shangao.

Now that the sixth prince is in our hands, these three main forces should not have discovered the whereabouts of the sixth prince. That is to say, we are hiding in the dark, but our strength is also the weakest. We do not occupy either military strength or territory. Advantages, the only good thing is that Fernando's grain production is very high, so we don't have to worry about supplies.

The sixth prince didn't know that Aldridge was mine, and he was also one of my back-ups. Although the eldest prince has not yet been able to integrate the army to send troops to the capital, the second prince is already full-fledged and may take the lead in sending troops to control those nobles around the capital who have not yet declared their support for him.

My current strategy is to expand rapidly before the war affects us, at least to control the coastal port closest to us in the south. In this way, Ravenrak's fleet can also help us solve many problems. At critical moments, his crew Can also act as a surprise soldier.

To the north is the territory of Viscount Wilson. The main city of his territory is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we can control it, it will be our first barrier to defend the second prince's army. Moreover, a little north of Wilson's territory is the first prince and the second prince. The place that the prince must fight for, if the eldest prince can't take it, then he has to go around a long way to threaten the king's capital.

With Matthias, we can set up an eye there to see what their two forces are doing. "

Ronan explained the current form and his next goal to the three heroes, and also briefly told about his arrangement after he came here and his experience during this period, so that the three of them could understand the situation better and be able to communicate with Luo Nan. Nan discussed the pros and cons of his current approach, and how to avoid accidents.

Magna and Bernhard actively talked with Ronan, but Matthias didn't talk much. It seems that the art of tactics is indeed not what he, an archmage who is obsessed with research, is good at.

"How is our current strength? Commander." Magna was the first to ask the question he was more concerned about.

"Aldridge has a thousand people under his command, but 500 of them are lurking in Wilson's territory, waiting for us to cooperate with others. I have about 200 people under my command now, and I will recruit about 1,500 people in the near future. The specific division of arms will be studied later.

Ravenlach's fleet has less than 800 people, and they are wandering in the sea outside Gaoling at this time, waiting for us to take the port, but except for the 100 people I sent him, the rest are some useless pirates , the quality and morals are very low. The main reason I let them come from the waters of the Hinterlands is for their ships.

King Gaoling relies on the sea, and we may be able to launch surprise attacks or harassment from the sea. The original guard led by Fernando was only about 300 people, and the Temple of the God of War had less than 100 guards. In the near future, I plan to recruit a group of militiamen through the temple and the lord's order. The armor and weapons are ready, but in order to avoid the lack of labor in the territory and cause resistance, there are only about 1,500 to 2,000 people. Let Meriuses train some simple skills and formations.

Except for the border nobles in Gaoling, most of the nobles will not maintain an army for a long time, so although we are not as large in number, we have more elite soldiers, especially our cavalry. Armed heavy cavalry. "

"That's it." Magna nodded slightly to express his understanding, and began to calculate quickly in his mind. The strength of Ronan's men is not small, but they can't be gathered together, because Fernando's leader is surrounded by no danger. After the outbreak of the war, he may enter the state of being attacked by the enemy at any time. Therefore, Ronan urgently hopes to advance to the north and the south. Threats from both directions can be reduced.

This discussion lasted until late at night, and the four barely finalized the next action phalanx and some other matters. Ronan handed over the troops to Magna to lead, and Bernhard was in charge of the political and commercial operations in the territory. . Mathias and Ronan will use the psychic circle prepared by Aldridge tomorrow to study the Eye of Observation and find a suitable place to place it after using up a few gems.

Meriuses and Bishop Ashley are in charge of conscription. Using the name of the God of War and Ronan's superior treatment of soldiers, it should not be difficult to recruit soldiers. If Ronan plans to do this, if it doesn't work, he will use the lord's right to forcibly recruit.

After a night of rest, Ronan relieved the fatigue of his brain. After a brief wash, Ronan took the guards of more than ten meters and Mathias on horseback to the prepared psychic field outside the city.

Where did the construction start after Aldridge came, and it is now basically completed. The magic circle used by Aldridge to summon the evil spirits before was too small to support the summoning using large gems as a medium.

The psychic field is about 500 square meters. In the middle is a large stone altar. Deep marks are carved on the flat stone floor, forming a complex and mysterious magic circle. It is surrounded by hexagons and surrounded by fire altars. Stopped, the fire altar was glowing with a faint blue flame at this time, obviously some other things had been added.

This place is called the Extreme Altar by Ronan, and the location is very remote. Ronan also simply built a city wall around it, and there are guards guarding it 24 hours a day.

The magic circle that Aldridge depicted was different from the one Mathias usually used, but it didn’t bother him. Mathias figured out the magic circle in a short time, and added a few others to it. The researched runes can maximize the effectiveness of the medium and strengthen the contract of the summoned creatures.

Mathias' nickname of "Soul Controller" is not for nothing. He has summoned countless alien creatures, but he has never been backlashed. Usually those creatures are controlled by Mathias as soon as they are summoned. soul.
