King’s Kingdom - Chapter 310
And most of the people in the group have rich combat experience. The previous defense war with the Northern Empire was once, the counter-insurgency war was another time, and they went north to the Hengduan Mountains to fight the monsters to the death.
These experienced veterans are quite capable of fighting and maintaining order. In this respect, perhaps only the more than 30,000 soldiers in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor who were selected from the battle to clear the monsters can be compared.
No, there should still be some gaps. Although those soldiers have fought with monsters many times, they haven’t experienced much war between humans, so it is inevitable that they are a little uncomfortable.
Even the most elite group of people is far from the enemy, let alone the rest.
The levies on your side are very useful when facing other enemies. In addition to doing chores, they can also be cannon fodder on the battlefield, consuming the enemy’s physical strength and arrows, and if used well, the lethality is not low, after all Ants kill elephants.
But when these levies are compared to the other’s levies, it’s completely incomprehensible.
The levies of the Lanyin Kingdom, oh no, according to them, they are called the Linkers, and the combat effectiveness of those Linkers is obvious to all.
Although most of the previous border conflicts were done by the northern lords, others have been paying attention. Those frontal conflicts and frictions showed the combat effectiveness of the Linkers to the fullest.
The combat effectiveness that is only a little worse than the regular army shocked everyone. If their bodies were not weakened due to old age, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness would be stronger, and it might be similar to the regular army.
Although many of them are not strong in individual combat effectiveness, they are well-founded in advancing and retreating, and they are in formation. The flaws also successfully thwarted their own invasion of the border of the Lanyin Kingdom.
If these so-called Linked Forces hadn’t displayed a sufficiently strong combat effectiveness and a sufficient number, they would have attacked the Lanyin Kingdom even under external diplomatic pressure and internal public opinion pressure.
Not to mention, in addition to the regular army of nearly 30,000 and the tens of thousands of link troops, the enemy also has hundreds of elite iron cavalry.
The name of the Iron Armored Paladins’ bravery and good fighting skills has long been spread throughout the northern part of the continent, and even in the central empire, there are faint rumors that they are the strongest knights unparalleled in the world.
Although the royal family of the Northern Empire also supported a team of royal knights with more than 700 people, their combat power was stronger than that of ordinary knights.
With all kinds of suspicions in their hearts, all the nobles also left the place where Tambadri was and returned to their own team. This time they were just pretending to express their right. It is the concern of His Majesty the Emperor.
After Tambadri finished venting, he sighed a little depressedly, and ordered 6,000 soldiers to be dispatched to protect the food and forage convoy behind.
The casualties caused by this sneak attack to the army were not many, adding up to only more than 700 people. Only less than 300 people died directly, and the rest were minor injuries, serious injuries and internal injuries.
What really made him feel the pain was the burning of grain and grass. If the burned grain and grass were exchanged for money, it would be more than 10,000 Sunshine Gold. Although there was a premium due to the shortage of grain, it was definitely not a small amount even in normal times. .
Tambadri is already very depressed now. His emperor is quite aggrieved. Not only does he not have as much money and resources as his predecessor, Skrin II, as well as the elite of the royal family, but he is immediately infiltrated by monsters and destroys production. As a result, the entire country lacks food and has a huge impact on income.
They finally entered the army by accepting refugees, and used monsters to train a group of troops with fairly good combat effectiveness, alleviating the dilemma of lacking major generals, but they were unable to equip them with sufficient weapons and equipment.
Now there are only 15,000 people who can wear a set of full-body armor. The remaining 17,000 or 8,000 people can only wear half-body armor. The armor is shoddy, and the old equipment that has been eliminated has been ground to the size of a needle. The long sword, and even some people can only wear armed clothes and leather armor.
That’s it, after he took office, he raised the tax rate and levied tariffs on a large scale to save a sum of money and build a lot of weapons and armor. Otherwise, he would not say that he was poor and white, and it would be unrealistic to equip soldiers with these weapons.
Because of Skrein II’s defeat in the previous imperial warehouse, nearly a third of the indemnities and ransoms were taken out, including cattle, sheep, steel, and food.
Later, Skrein II passed away. Before he came to power, he still thought about using the remaining money and food to manage the country and strengthen the country, but when he arrived in the imperial capital, he found out that the mice in the warehouse could almost starve to death.
When he came to the imperial capital a few years ago, he saw that there are countless grains and wealth here. It has reached this point in just a few years. He knew that there was something tricky in it, but before he got the support of most people He didn’t dare to ask. After he stabilized, there was no problem with the accounts, not even the slightest doubt.
Piece by piece, the whereabouts of each grain, property, and material are clearly marked, and no mistakes or omissions can be found.
In desperation, he had no choice but to give up. For him, in addition to a title and righteousness, he only had extra territory to inherit the throne, and even taxes did not increase too much.
Because of the rampant monsters that reduce food production, the tax revenue has been reduced a lot. If it weren’t for the fact that he levied more tariffs and commercial taxes~www.mtlnovel.com~ the Northern Empire would have been unable to make ends meet.
Soldiers were dispatched to guard the grain convoy, and the soldiers were alerted. Patrols were dispatched to patrol around the marching team. Tambadri gave the order to start again after the army had stopped for an hour and a half.
It is very difficult for such a large team to transmit and execute orders. It took more than half an hour for the entire army to move.
Glancing at the sun in the sky, Tambadri closed his eyes, and he was already a little worried. He also knew that the probability of winning this battle was very small, so he did not expect to be able to defeat Lan Yin. the armies of the kingdom, and drive them out of the country.
What he thought was actually just relying on this army to fight the enemy to the death, hurt them, and then propose a peace agreement.
What we strive for is unconditional peace, and if the situation is worse, it doesn’t matter if we pay some land or something.
Even if some land is given away, it will not change the fact that the Lanyin Kingdom is a small country in a short period of time.
And the Northern Empire still has such a large territory and so many people, as long as there is enough time, it will recover sooner or later.
