Chapter 2271 Pre-war Arrangement
The enemy has not yet attacked, and the military and political officials discussing at the Anmosi City Government did not dare to relax for a moment. One piece of intelligence was continuously sent to the municipal official residence, and aerial reconnaissance over the city Soldiers were constantly coming and going, and spies dormant among the people in the countryside would report new enemy movements to the city from time to time.
The staff gathered and screened a large amount of intelligence, selected the most valuable information, and sent it to the Western Capital High Command according to the intelligence level.
"Sir, we have important information." The staff officer came over with the information and reported: "Our multiple informants in the Gripen country discovered that a large number of farmer organizations have left the Gripen country and are moving to the occupied areas of our country. Come.”
Mayor Blaise Tom said: “Farmers? They are coming to grab the farmland. It’s time to plant the second crop of wheat. They... they really plan to grow it for a long time. Ah.”
"In the past, they retreated after fighting, but this time they meant it!"
Daqi, the King of the North, said: "They must mean it. I didn't see that they didn't even see the big guys from the 'Ultimate Weapon' Have you moved here? The strategy of residents moving eastward has failed, and the enemy is well prepared."
Mayor Thom said anxiously: "The land on the border of the Gripen Country is barren and the food production is not high, but the fertile plains around our Anmosi capital are there. , thick snow in winter, soil The land is fertile and is a big granary.”
“I know this,” Hanard said with a frown: “They had grabbed a lot of food resources after Tiesei’s defeat, which was enough for them to use. Is it so urgent to mobilize the peasants from home?" He was moved and asked the staff: "Has the total number of enemy troops been calculated?"
The staff said: "They are still making calculations based on the situation."
< br>
"Why does it take so long?"
The staff officer said: "There is a steady stream of troops moving eastward in the Gripen. The spies we sent are constantly collecting information. The general information will be out soon." The staff officer looked embarrassed. , it seems that the situation is not optimistic.
After a while, the chief of staff of the headquarters personally came over with information on the enemy's strength and said: "King of the North, Lord Hanard, the preliminary statistics of the enemy's strength have been released. It is estimated that the enemy's total strength is at 4 million to 5 million.”
Everyone showed ugly expressions.
Arcares, commander of the Western Capital Guard Army, said: "With four to five million people entering the country, the supply lines in the mountains alone are definitely not enough, so farmers have to be moved here."
"We currently have less than 600,000 defenders. The enemy is advancing too fast, and the reinforcements are still on the way."
"Can we send a light force to attack the supply line in their rear?" Ninth Army Corps Lieutenant General Pershing said.
A certain general said: "The war is imminent. Sending a single army now will not have much effect in a short time, but... we can give it a try."
The staff officer said: "Not long ago We received news that a small team of the Holy Moon Knights has arrived at the western border."
"Holy Moon Knights! By the way, their training camp is located northeast of Anmosidou. "Aren't you here?" Lieutenant General Leder of the 15th Army asked.
Mayor Blaise Thom said: "The Knights of the Holy Moon are only controlled by the royal family. I sent people to issue invitations, but..."
Hanard said: "We can't control the Knights of the Holy Moon. If you can share information with us, where is Dean? "
"Call him over." After a while, Zhijiang Dean came in a hurry. .
Hanard asked: "Dean, you know the best about the Gripen army. There are about five million enemies on the enemy side now. Apart from the generals we are familiar with, what is their total strength?"
Dean started talking.
......
On the other side, the Gripen Army, which uses the town as its command center, is also stepping up its deployment of troops. A map of the western provinces of the Demon Moon is hung on the wall of a house. The arrow marks of different colors on it indicate the locations and movement trajectories of the enemy and our armies, and the staff next to them are constantly updating based on the latest intelligence.
King Gripen stood in front of the map and listened to another staff officer introducing the situation at hand: "Currently, the Demon Moon's approximately 600,000 troops are mainly concentrated in Anmosiddu and its affiliated towns to the east, but according to our past intelligence , there are probably about 150,000 to 170,000 militiamen inside and outside the suburbs of the Western Capital City who can go into battle at any time, including mercenaries, patrol teams, security police and other armed forces. , the force will finally be increased by 100,000. And our army's 6.5 million troops have now entered the territory of Moyue, and the five mobile units of the Thirteen Eagles have been deployed at the posts and strongholds along the way. If the enemy disrupts the situation. In the rear, attack our logistics and supply channels, and we can respond quickly." He pointed out several troop deployment locations on the map with his stick.
Kulizarid nodded.
The staff officer added: "The enemy's latest intelligence is that Bartholomew Basholm Yahan brought a team of 150 red-robed mages from Thebiles to rush through intercity teleportation. Heading to Anmosiddu, if nothing else happens, he will appear in Xi'an this afternoon. "In the capital."
"Yahan, the bell of the empire, the seventeenth generation reacted quickly and decisively." Kulizarid walked to the table and turned over all the eighth-level figures in the Demon Moon Empire. list, and quickly found Yahan's portrait and his information.
The staff officer said: "There are several people with eighth-level strength in the Demon Moon Imperial City, and the head of the Christine family is one. In December of the year before last, I heard that an eighth-level powerful person was killed by seventeen Recruited in the world and joined the Demon Moon Army."
Kulizarid turned out a few pages of enemy intelligence: "Do you have any information about who it is?"
"No, our people are stepping up their efforts to gather information about this person. The staff believes that this person is likely to appear in the war with us soon."
Kulizarid: "The Demon Moon is against Our vigilance has never been relaxed, and newcomers need to make meritorious deeds to show their worth. We are all famous eighth-level masters on the main continent. There is relevant information, but the continent is changing with each passing day. There are declining strong men and new masters. In just a few years, someone may have reached the peak of strength." He searched in his mind for all the famous top seventh levels on the continent. Who is most likely to increase in strength in a short period of time and join the Demon Moon Legion? But after thinking for a while, there was no result in the vast sea.
The staff officer said: "They have new masters, we have Thirteen Eagles, we have the ultimate weapon, and you and the other six generals have magical abilities given by the Domain Demonic Dragon."
< br>“Has Wancheng arrived?”
The staff officer said unexpectedly: "Does this battle require Wan Cheng to take action? He is the only eighth-level master that our Gripen Empire has trained in the past forty years. Even you, the Holy Emperor, have not revealed it. You are so early Let him show up?”
"Dean Helen confessed a lot of information under Mr. Rodin's spiritual offensive. Among them, the Knights of the Holy Moon are the most dangerous thorns. Place him next to me."
"Understood."
