Chapter 895 The Armies Set Out for Battle

Flynn actually had no limit on the number of the first batch of Northern Expeditionary troops.

But the number of players in the first batch, due to Flynn's deliberate low-key handling, was only about 200,000.

Many players said that they are also interested in the war with the devil.

But there are other things on hand, other work that remains unfinished.

They were preparing to come at the end, when they had a decisive battle with the devil.

The battles ahead to open up communication lines and invade the borders of the demon world can be left to the major legions.

There are about 200,000 players, with Niu Dingtian and Jiuzhou Supreme as the core leaders of the two largest guilds, and they are obviously divided into two groups.

Their two major guilds dispatched more than 100,000 people.

The remaining individual players, small and medium-sized guilds and other militants totaled less than 100,000 people.

The total number is over 200,000 and is growing all the time.

If we keep waiting, there will definitely be more.

This is because Flynn has not issued a general mobilization order or mission rewards for the time being.

Wait until the early battle is over and the decisive battle with the Demon God.

By that time, most players will definitely want to join in the fun.

By the way, Flynn, if you publish relevant tasks and give certain task rewards, you can definitely attract most players to join the battle.

As for now, Flynn estimates there are 200,000 players as the main force.

Supplemented by some other indigenous troops, it is enough to kill the demon world.

The subsequent recruitment situation, the release of tasks, and the organization and mobilization of more players can be determined based on the subsequent battle situation.

In addition to the main force composed of 200,000 players.

In this holy war, there were not many indigenous troops participating in the war.

Flynn's own troops were not dispatched in large numbers.

Three newly formed main legions - the Lyra Legion adapted from the original Second Legion, the Lynx Legion adapted from the original Third Legion, and the Aquila Legion adapted from the original Oath Warriors.

Of these three constellation legions, Flynn only dispatched Lynx and Aquila.

The most elite Lyra is still in his hands.

As for other newly formed regiments that have not yet completed formal training, as well as second and third line troops.

Flynn didn't let them go to war at all.

missions of these sub-units. Let's continue training, continue to guard the empire's major borders and maintain law and order.

But despite this, Flynn only sent about 20,000 Lynx and Aquila legions.

But there are many other indigenous troops.

First of all, the noble lords in the Iron Qiu Kingdom.

Many of them were afraid of the demon god's power, so they did not dare and were not too keen on sending their troops to fight.

But among the noble lords in the country, there are also many fanatical believers.

Those fanatical believer nobles all dispatched their own troops, their sons and successors, and even went into battle themselves to help in the battle.

These fanatical believers believe that if they can lead an army to defeat the Demon God, the Horse-Drinking Demon Realm, and break through Alecto's capital, the Broken Demon City, in their lifetime.

Even if you die in battle, your life will be worth it.

Therefore, even though they did not receive Flynn's promise, many domestic nobles, including some big nobles and the most basic knights, came to participate in the war at their own expense.

Risking his life, he led a team to challenge the dangerous demon, and was even willing to die in battle.

how to say?

Indeed, they are all old fools, greedy and keen on plundering.

But in this era, it is true that the old fritters are intrigues and greedy for fame and fortune.

But it is true that some superstitious old fritters die fanatically for the sake of belief and posthumous fame.

If the devil can be successfully defeated and the devil is broken through on behalf of mankind in the name of holy war, many of these old fools would rather go through the mountains of swords and seas of fire.

It's not a loss to die in a holy war to defeat the devil.

If he wins, he will break through the demon world and plunder the demon clan's wealth, gain both fame and fortune, and definitely make a lot of money!

In addition to many nobles within the Iron Qiu Kingdom participating in the war.

Including volunteers and adventurers from all walks of life, especially those fanatical and manic priests and nuns from the Holy Church, etc.

The total number of these oddities has exceeded 200,000 in such a short period of time.

In other words, the number of vanguard troops alone in this expedition was as high as 400,000!

There are 200,000 players and 200,000 indigenous troops respectively.

Flynn, in order to support the logistics of these people, hundreds of thousands of civilians were dispatched.

Including some reserve local security forces, they are also responsible for subsequent logistics management.

Million scale!

The entire country's war machine started slowly.

Geographically speaking, the Iron Hill Kingdom ruled by Flynn, especially Super City in the north, is actually not that far from the territory of the Disaster Demon Alecto.

In terms of straight-line distance, it is more than 1,000 kilometers on the map.

Precisely because the distance itself is relatively close, Flynn has been exposed to the power of the Demon God many times in previous adventure battles, such as the battle against Demon Wolf Mountain.

The distance is not too far, which is conducive to Flynn's Northern Expedition.

However, the terrain and distribution of forces along the way meant that this expedition would not be easy.

The first thing to solve is the problem of the new plague land.

The New Plague Land is blocking the main route of the army's Northern Expedition.

Moreover, the zombie army in the new plague land is not the kind of honest and brainless zombies, but the zombie army controlled by the Red Duke.

If you don't completely eliminate the New Plaguelands, but choose to bypass it.

Not only will it seriously hinder logistics and subsequent reinforcements, but they may also face attacks on supply lines from the new Plague Land.

If at the most critical moment on the front line, the Red Duke commanded the Resurrection Army in the New Plague Land, a wave of direct attacks would cut off the Northern Expedition's communication lines.

It is possible that the frontline army will completely collapse because it cannot get reinforcements.

Flynn must first solve the threat of the new Plaguelands.

The Red Duke, the ruler of the new Plaguelands, was originally a warrior created by the God of Disaster, Alecto.

Theoretically, he should be the hard-core younger brother of the God of Disaster.

I just don’t know what happened, but he actually assassinated the God of Disaster with his own hands.

I don't know what happened behind the scenes.

If the Red Duke assassinated the God of Disaster, the New Plague Land should be out of the jurisdiction of the God of Disaster by now.

But no matter what, the New Plaguelands are absolute enemies.

The first big challenge of the Northern Expedition is to completely conquer the New Plague Land.

In the previous long-term battle, many players have been taking risks in the New Plagueland.

So in fact, the New Plagueland has been infiltrated into a sieve by players a long time ago.
