Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

Vol 2 Chapter 40: the end

Two things were guessed correctly by the Marquis of Karl Karst.

First, as the battle situation near Nuremberg gradually became clear, in order not to waste shipping expenses, Count Ostard discussed with the Grand Duke, and on March 28, the subsequent more than 2,000 regular troops of the Principality were reassigned to Somalia. Enborg and Ruchefelde are on the front line.

In the end, the total number of the Principality's army gathered in these two fortresses indeed exceeded 10,000, reaching a size of more than 12,000.

This forced the Marquis to continue to gather forces to defend the Nut Fort and its surrounding strategic locations.

The realization of the original purpose did not satisfy the Marquis.

The Grand Duke's willingness to bear heavy expenditure pressure and the emphasis on military confrontation with him made him quite a headache.

On the other hand, the Qatar leader's battle against the invading barbarians was indeed as smooth as he thought.

As the ancient Xiu knights and others communicated with their lords, they sent news of the considerable benefits of capturing the barbarians. And Nuremberg confirmed that the barbarian leader was killed. The nobles, big and small, who were still worried about the barbarians attacking, had a psychological turn of 180 degrees.

Defeat the barbarian team and capture the barbarian slaves. For a time, it became the common appeal of surrounding nobles and nobles.

But not every knight is like Lothar, who can challenge the strength of a barbarian army alone. So more nobles united to form an army against the barbarians.

Among them, the troops led by Viscount Tiest of Nuremberg are the strongest. A total of eight knights joined his command, plus the expansion of the viscount during this period of time, and finally formed a large force of three thousand people.

In addition to him, the Baron Zoponerkui of Iris Town, directly under the Grand Duke, also received the support of six knights who also belonged to the Grand Duke, and formed a force of more than 1,500 people against the barbarians.

On Lothar's side, three new knights joined in successively, reducing Lothar's share of prisoners, while pushing the force to 1,200 men.

In addition to these three relatively large forces, there are also some neighboring knights gathered together to specifically target small groups of barbarians with less than five hundred people and defeated barbarian deserters.

Coupled with the troops from the nobles in other regions that came to earn dividends, the number of Principality's troops active in the Nuremberg area was close to 8,000.

Among all the troops, the combination of Lothar and other seven knights was the most efficient and the most rewarding.

On average every day, this coalition defeated the same number of barbarians. As of March 30th, almost every knight who joined has been captured by barbarians in excess of the number of troops sent.

Lothar's control of battlefield information was the reason why he was able to have great results.

In addition to the fifteen scouts at the beginning, Lothar secretly supplemented twenty scouts in the subsequent battles, five of them as his accompanying cavalry.

With a total of 30 scouts, not only did Lothar control the movement of the enemy and ourselves within 20 kilometers. After splitting into two shifts, the scouts can still have some rest time. In high-intensity reconnaissance missions, it can retain a certain degree of sustained combat capability.

However, with the end of March, the combat capability of this unit has also begun to greatly decrease.

On the one hand, it is because of the exhaustion accumulated by successive battles. Even if defeating the enemy can greatly enhance the strength of the troops, the physical loss caused by the fierce battle is real.

Not to mention that in addition to combat, fast marching will also greatly increase fatigue.

On the other hand, as the results of the battle increased, by the beginning of April, every noble who participated was assigned twice the number of barbarian prisoners.

While the nobles who got the big gains were beaming, the combat capability of this coalition army was also greatly dragged down.

After eliminating the soldiers guarding the prisoners and fighting losses, the number of troops that can be used for combat has dropped to just over 500.

Lothar knew that it was time to end.

When he told the other six knights about this proposal, after the initial surprise, no one raised any objections.

Even the dull lord, the fatigue of the soldiers is all in his eyes. Let such soldiers fight on the battlefield, and you can imagine the loss.

Although barbarian captives are indeed good things, soldiers who have accumulated combat experience can't give up cruelly and arbitrarily.

What's more, many barbarians have already been captured right now, and no matter how much it is, the difficulty of management is also a major issue.

How to choose, the few knights who calm down are still a bit caress about.

It's a big deal, go back and fix it, and then catch the barbarians who are hiding in ruins.

Lothar, whose proposal was approved, was also very satisfied, except for solving the same problems as several nobles. Lothar had another consideration.

With the nobles enthusiastically joining the battlefield, coupled with the results they have achieved, so far, there are not many large-scale barbarian troops left. Even the barbarian squad of a few hundred people, there are only about twenty left.

Obviously, these are just a few days before the barbarians who invaded the principality completely failed.

For Lothar, whose goal was to quickly resolve the barbarian invasion crisis at the beginning, his mission was over.

On April 6, after a day of repairs, the coalition forces that ceased operations were formally disbanded, and each escorted the captured materials and prisoners back.

Lothar originally planned to leave a small number of troops to find Viscount Tiste, and stayed until the end of the war to show his sense of existence.

But after thinking about it carefully, Lothar led the team and returned directly.

With his contribution in this war, there is no need to show it specially. Continuing to stay will also easily cause dissatisfaction from other nobles.

Because of the serious physical loss of the soldiers and the large number of prisoners, the normal march for three days (moving to a greater distance during combat) was about the same distance ~www.readwn.com~ It took a full week to return.

It wasn't until 7 o'clock in the evening on the 12th that the accelerated team arrived at Mowen Town in the last few hours of the evening.

The team of more than 400 soldiers and more than 700 barbarian prisoners suddenly shocked the small town that was gradually returning to peace.

Because of the remoteness leading to backward information transmission, the panicked townspeople even thought that the town had been attacked by barbarians.

The panic caused by misunderstandings was relieved when they saw soldiers with straight waists and full spirits, although their equipment was somewhat damaged.

Then the barbarians who entered the town under the **** of the soldiers, in a very embarrassed state, let the townsfolk who quietly hide by the window of the room peeking into the sky, can't help but cheer.

Soon, the townspeople who rushed out of the room formed crowds on both sides of the street. The soldiers who returned in triumph with applause and cheers sent blessings and celebrations.

Sure enough, although people hate war, they prefer victory.
