Chapter 167 Breaking Through Two Villages in One Night
The monster-inhabited territory near the sea in the southernmost part of the Demon King's Territory... From now on, it is obvious that they have negotiated with the Half-Devil Territory and decided to advance and retreat together to put pressure on the Demon King's Territory.
After all, after everyone settled the half-devil territory and the blood clan territory for the time being, and returned to the Demon King's territory for a little repair, the monster-inhabited territory has already conveyed the meaning of making up for the previously arrears of offerings as soon as possible.
This is the news from the little bat that flew over when everyone was on the way back, so the vampires are really very useful as intelligence personnel.
Although the mixed-inhabited territory did not mention the need to pay more offerings, it still accepts the rule of the Demon King's territory for the time being... This loyalty is quite fragile, so the cement needs to be laid as soon as possible.
Now the materials are available and the production capacity is sufficient. There is probably no problem in this regard.
"Recently, has anything happened?"
Satan Ye asked Youyou who was staying in the Demon King's territory. She sat comfortably in her seat and felt refreshed. After all, she had been marching for so long, and she had been sleeping only in the tent recently.
It seems that she is indeed very comfortable, after all, the wings behind her have been drooping weakly on the throne... This morning meeting is the first morning meeting after everyone returned to the Demon King's Land.
Except for Senata, who was receiving information from her vampire subordinates, all the other leaders were present, including Wolf, who represented the blacksmith...but she didn't need to report anything at the moment.
"No, everything is normal."
Youyou said, she looked at Xiao Gang who also stayed in the Demon King's Territory, and said: "Recently, the cement roads have covered all the main roads in the Demon King's Territory, and the little monsters are very happy."
Yes, although the main significance of the cement road is not to facilitate the little monsters to walk, but it is only natural for them to feel happy when they face a road that is flat and free of sharp debris.
"Then next, Xiao Gang, you should think about other important roads and lay the cement... Afterwards, consider starting to pave the road on the Demon Lord's Road and extend it to the lizard people's territory."
Ira said so, and the morning meeting seemed to be over here, after all, no one else wanted to say anything... Then, the next thing is the matter of the Lich Territory.
Contempt for Satan leaves, so unwilling to pay offerings... What is the situation?
While Ira was thinking this, Senata, who came late, walked into the hall. She watched everyone watching her, and urgently reported the information: "Yesterday afternoon, the Principality and the Empire went to war."
This battle was already in everyone's knowledge, so it didn't cause much disturbance, and everyone's expressions remained calm.
However, Senata looked very serious. She unfolded the parchment in her hand and told everyone the information she had written down, saying: "From yesterday afternoon to early this morning, the empire captured two towns. .”
One night... captured two towns?
With this kind of efficiency, it is possible to capture a city in a few days, and within a few years, the Principality will be unified... Of course, this cannot be calculated logically.
However, capturing two towns in one night is too outrageous.
"How did you do it?"
Ira asked this question. He knew the strength of the empire best. Although he didn't think the principality could gain any advantage, he shouldn't be pushed forward like this.
The surrounding leaders were also a little shocked... Before they knew it, did the empire become stronger again?
"Among the troops of the empire, the most eye-catching ones are the eighth seat Shara Alcaras, and the tenth seat Heidiline Miriam Walls leads the team. The principality's troops are retreating steadily, and now they have retreated. After arriving at the first city, the battle situation also fell into a stalemate."
In Senata's report, Vera clearly thought of something. She looked in Ira's direction and asked with some concern: "Isabella, have you torn up the contract with you? Now the empire The Archon, can turn humans into wings?"
If that's the case, then the principality must be finished, and it will even cool down faster than the monster side...
"Impossible, Isabella must have this idea, but she can't do it..."
Ira, who knows Isabella very well, said this, he frowned and thought about the reasons for the development of the situation, and said: "Besides, if the consul can do this, then it will definitely not only appear on the battlefield Both of them."
In this regard, Senata looked at the data she had recorded on the parchment before, and said: "But in the first half of the night, in terms of battle damage——the empire's troops were almost on par with the principality's troops, only a slight advantage... The types of troops exchanged It’s also more cost-effective.”
"Does that mean... there is no [decisive] factor?"
As Ira said this, he seemed to realize something, and he relieved his throat when he mentioned it, and said, "It seems to be the effect of the idol effect... Such effects are very common on the battlefield, and the time will be relatively short. , it doesn’t actually have much effect.”
Everyone realized something about Ira who said that... To put it bluntly, the morale of the empire's troops was boosted by the presence of the consul. If you say this, everyone will understand.
But if it was the first half of the night... what happened in the second half of the night?
Like everyone's doubts, Senata continued to talk about the follow-up information: "However, in the second half of the night, the imperial general Ulrichila Jem Goodwin joined the battlefield... The two villages of the principality were destroyed. .”
In other words, in the first half of the night, the empire's troops advanced beyond the first village, and only after Little Ur arrived, did they advance like a broken bamboo?
Ulrichila Jem Goodwin was the most outstanding general among the younger generation of the empire, but because of his relationship with the Iraqi faction, his subordinates only commanded the Iraqi faction troops.
This is a very common thing, each noble manages each noble's troops, and the Iraqi nobles manage the Iraqi nobles' troops... what? You ask the queen's own troops?
Well, this is what Ira has always wanted to start reforming... There are very few troops that only obey Isabella's orders, and it can even be said that there are almost no troops. This is the situation in the empire.
"If it's Ur, then it is indeed understandable... But, logically speaking, the nobles shouldn't have allowed him to reach the battlefield so quickly. After all, if the battle is successful..."
Ira frowned and muttered to herself, then he thought of something, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Vera, who also thought of something, and both of them realized it.
...
Yes, because Ira left.
