This battle is not a one-on-one battle between the Empire and the Iron Hill Kingdom.

Flynn also found some allies.

At this moment, when Flynn, the players, and his lords were frantically cleaning the battlefield and dividing the spoils.

In a valley about 200 kilometers away from the Magcinolo Defense Line, the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of the River led the strongest troops he could piece together, plus mercenaries, totaling more than 10,000 people.

Coupled with the 5,000 dwarf army personally led by the king of the Dwarf Alliance on the top of the mountain, a total of 20,000 people on both sides were lying in wait in the valley, waiting for the arrival of the imperial army.

Yes, as Flynn's allies, they were already prepared for victory or defeat by the imperial army.

If the imperial army wins, then there will be no action on all sides.

Once the imperial army is defeated, even small and weak countries such as the Grand Duchy of the River have to take risks in order to have more say when dividing the spoils and dividing the sphere of influence afterwards.

Find a way to beat the drowned dog, and let the empire of the mother-in-law be shot!

When the imperial army was surrounded, they had not had time to break out.

The Grand Duchy of Riverside had already received the news and knew that the empire's army was in a quagmire. The entire army had even been surrounded by the Maginot Line and was in danger of being annihilated.

Although the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Hezhong is a leader of a small country with little reputation, this does not mean that he is incompetent.

It's just that his country is relatively weak, but he himself is not stupid at all!

Knowing that there was something going on, he made a decisive analysis and concluded that the imperial army had failed in this battle.

Even if the surrounded army successfully breaks the blockade, they may no longer have the will to fight and will have no choice but to retreat.

Sure enough, the Protector of the Iron Hills Kingdom, Flynn Tesnilan, with his brave troops, is invincible!

The Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Hezhong immediately decided to take action and sent troops to join the war to deal a wave of greedy damage.

To facilitate the division of profits afterwards.

However, although he himself can dispatch more than 10,000 or even more troops.

But it would be difficult for the so-called elite soldiers of the Grand Duchy of River to compete with the empire.

Even if it is just the remnants of the empire, it cannot be underestimated.

The Grand Duke also did not have much confidence in his own army, so he leaked the news to another ally of the Iron Hill Kingdom, the dwarf king of the Mountaintop Alliance.

As a force that participated in the alliance meeting, the Mountaintop Dwarf Alliance, their army also arrived near the Maginot Line of Defense early, and was very close to the main force of the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy in the River.

The leaders of the two armies hit it off immediately and decided to lie in wait and watch on the empire's retreat.

If you have the opportunity, beat the fallen dog and bite the defeated army of the empire hard, so as to gain more say for them when dividing the spoils after the war.

The Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Riverside knows that his country has essentially become a vassal state between the two powerful countries and has lost its independence.

But it doesn't matter if the country loses its independence.

For national leaders in the feudal era, the destruction of a country did not mean that it was destroyed.

As a traditional feudal noble, the Grand Duke of Hezhong valued the inheritance of his family to a greater extent.

If the Grand Duchy of Riverside really loses its independence and becomes a vassal state, it may even become part of the Iron Hill Kingdom or the Empire.

As long as your family can obtain a higher title and better fiefdom, then you will definitely not lose.

At least it's not a total loss.

So what can we do to obtain a higher title, a better fief, and more rewards?

Obviously, military exploits are the fastest way.

In the past, the Grand Duke of Hezhong was obedient in order to preserve the small Hezhong.

But now, it's no longer safe anyway, so you need to strike hard to fight for the interests of your family!

Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!

So this time the Hezhong Grand Duchy took risks. After learning that the imperial army was about to be defeated, it began to think of challenging the empire.

Send troops and take sides!

Taking sides is the only way to gain profits, and being a fence-sitter will not end well.

The King of the Mountaintop Dwarf Alliance, who fought with the Grand Duke, had much simpler ideas.

First of all, he also participated in that alliance meeting and was a formal ally.

Since you are a member of the Allied Forces, if you do nothing but just make soy sauce, the dwarves will not lose face!

Although the dwarves in this world are not as heroic and stingy as many classic traditional fantasy literature, they are friendly but violent.

But there are more or less traditions that emphasize honor rather than cunning.

Now that you have joined the alliance, you have to do something more or less.

This time the battle was not to confront the main force of the empire head-on, but to attack the empire by beating up the lost dogs.

An army in rout is a soft persimmon.

Once the pinch is successful, you can get quite generous loot on the battlefield, and you can also get more chips for your camp during the post-war carving up.

Of course, whether it is the Grand Duchy in the River or the Dwarf Alliance on the Mountain Top, the prerequisite for their battle is the failure of the imperial army.

They hoped that the imperial army would be completely defeated and not completely wiped out, so they fled in panic.

What if the empire had not been defeated, or even won or escaped unscathed?

Then these two small forces will naturally pretend that nothing happened.

And if the empire is completely annihilated within the Maginot Line, then all their preparations will be in vain.

They hope that Flynn can beat the Empire hard, preferably by destroying the Empire's 2 million troops, with more than half of them dead or injured, and then releasing tens of thousands of defeated troops.

In this case, these two forces, including some other surrounding allies, can make some fuss about the defeated imperial army.

Flynn's Iron Hill Kingdom eats meat, but small allies like them also have to eat soup!

I have to say that the analysis of the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Hezhong is quite accurate.

After he learned that the empire's army was surrounded, he believed that the empire had more than 90% chance of defeat, but it should not be completely annihilated.

Therefore, he believed that he could make a fortune from the empire's collapse.

And now, with the follow-up intelligence.

And seeing the defeated cavalry of the fastest cavalry in the empire one after another convinced the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of the River and the king of the Dwarf Alliance on the top of the mountain.

Their analysis is correct.

Indeed, the Imperial Army.

Defeated.

But one must also be careful.

If the empire's hundreds of thousands of troops retreated in an orderly manner, it would be difficult for the Hezhong and Shanshan Alliance to make a difference with their combined 20,000 troops.
