Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

Time, the afternoon of March 25.

Location, the southernmost of Paiano’s forces, in the Nut Fort meeting room.

Characters, the Marquis of Karl Karst and some of his staff.

Although it was a similar scene where the information was received, the time, place, and characters were also changed, as well as the mood of the marquis and the staff.

The Marquis glanced at a circle of silent followers with condensed eyes, and his frowned brows contained the same sad emotions as them.

For the first time, the Marquis discovered that the spring rain that the Principality looked forward to most every year was such a disheartening thing.

Originally, in order to reduce the Grand Duke’s vigilance against Paiano, since the incident last year, the Marquis has collectively adjusted the armed forces in his hands to the central area of ​​his home.

As a result, when he first received the news that the Duchy's army was defeated by the barbarian army, the Marquis couldn't gather enough strength for a while and could only postpone his plan to raise troops.

But this is not bad news for the Marquis.

After all, the army of forty thousand barbarians is enough for Qatar to feel uncomfortable. Even with the support of the Grand Duke, it must be a protracted battle.

When both sides were injured, they brought the assembled troops to attack again. Not only can it easily defeat the Qatar family, but it can also easily solve the barbarian's threat and gain a political resource from the villagers and little nobles who have suffered heavy losses.

Beautiful.

The result was unexpected. First of all, the spring rains coming from various places on his side greatly slowed the assembly speed of the troops. But so far, there are only about 7,000 troops gathered in the Nut Fort. Most of the subordinate aristocratic troops are still in the process of arriving, and the preparations for food, grass, and weapons have not yet been fully prepared.

Then came intelligence that because of the rain in the Nuremberg area for several days, the barbarians dispersed their troops, and as a result, their leader was attacked and killed by an unknown man. The barbarians who had lost their leader returned to a state of scattered sand, unable to gather a huge army.

This is really in response to the suggestion of a certain staff member at the time that he was afraid of change.

As an ambitious and talented leader of the forces, the Marquis can certainly see the current situation clearly.

Not to mention that there are still many barbarians wandering in the Nuremberg area, and even larger teams of barbarians are still attacking nearby villages and towns.

However, the scattered barbarian forces no longer have the oppressive power and combat power to gather together, and will only be defeated one by one by the troops of the Qatari nobles.

This has been verified in the battle twenty years ago.

Even, the support of the Qatari family and the Grand Duke may not be needed. In order to protect their territory, the nobles will spontaneously gather to attack the barbarians.

In this way, the barbarians could not restrain the power of the Qatar family as the Marquis thought.

"Or, regardless of the barbarian's fate, how about we directly raise troops?"

Hearing the lord's gaze, some of the Marquis' followers sitting in line suggested hesitantly. However, from his tone of voice, he really couldn't hear the confidence associated with the suggestion.

"Oh," Nilan, the Viscount Nutburg, sitting in front, shook his head and sighed.

"We have only gathered a force of 7,000 people, among which there are more than 1,000 armed civilians.

On the dividing line across from us, there are more than 5,000 troops between Qatar and the Grand Duke. Coupled with the troops of the little nobles, the number of soldiers is very close to ours.

The odds of winning are really not high if the troops are rushed up. "

"Furthermore, I just got the information that the Grand Duke's reinforcements stationed in Sufran have given up their plans to continue eastward. This morning, the first two thousand people have already marched here.

In other words, if we cannot open the gap from the defense line within two days, we will be in danger of being defeated by our opponents with superior forces. "

As soon as Viscount Nilan finished speaking, the Marquis added aloud.

After a moment of silence, Viscount Wach, who was in charge of the Marquis's military affairs, stood up and said with a look of shame.

"I'm sorry, my lord, the ordnance preparation has not yet been completed. In two days, I really don't have the confidence to break through either of the two castles of Thorne and Ruchefele.

It is too risky to enter Qatar without breaching two fortresses. "

The Marquis took a deep breath, and he knew exactly what his general had said.

"It seems that I can only give up this rare opportunity."

The mind was settled, and the Marquis felt much more relaxed.

He suddenly smiled softly "Hey", swept away his previous worries, and said calmly.

"Forget it, let them go."

Seeing the tangled expressions of his followers, the Marquis reassured him.

"This change is beyond everyone's expectations. Even if we give up, it will just return to our original plan, and it will not change their final outcome.

Moreover, the barbarian invasion is considered a good result for us. In any case, after this turmoil, the strength of the Qatari leadership will be severely weakened. In contrast, our strength is even stronger. Haha. "

"It doesn't stop there. The Nuremberg area has suffered such a big loss, and Ostard will have to help them recover afterwards. Otherwise, who will trust him in the future. This calculation is another huge expense. ."

As expected to be the most trusted general of the Marquis, Viscount Wooche immediately reflected what the lord meant.

Those who can be selected by the Marquis as their staff are all elites, and they soon realized that the Marquis wanted to play down the missed opportunity, and they all spoke in agreement.

"However, although it is not possible to raise troops for the time being, the already assembled troops will stay here for now. Viscount Nilan, I will trouble you to bother to prepare food and other materials for the army. Of course, I will give you the expenses in the middle. "

Amidst the sound of coincidence, the Marquis Karl Karst noticed the anxiety on the face of Viscount Nutburg. After thinking for a while, he ordered like this.

Hearing the order of the Marquis, Viscount Nilan happily responded "Yes" immediately, as if he didn't think that the army stationed here would cause him any trouble.

The real reason is that it is compared to the daily consumption of grain and supplies by the Marquis army. It was the subsequent increase in the forces of the opposing Principality’s army, and the threat brought even more worried Viscount Nilan.

Even the Marquis himself did not dare to guarantee that once the assembled troops were evacuated, the Grand Duke would not be able to make the first move.

Judging from the current situation, the Grand Duke’s security will transfer all the troops that support the fight against the barbarians to the front lines of Fort Thorn and Ruchefeld, and the final number of the Principality’s army may exceed 10,000. For the Marquis, it was a real threat.

Therefore, it is better to take precautions.

At the very least, if the two sides confronted each other here, the great Duke far overseas would be much heavier than the burden on his own side.
