chapter eight(2/2)
Although it is a commercial port, Garia is not big, with a population of less than 200,000. Walking on the street, I saw that the commercial transactions here were extremely hot. Whether buying or selling, the merchants were no longer
He looks very fussy, and usually completes the transaction in a matter of seconds.
I asked Colter what was going on.
"Sir, these are the businessmen who are running on both sides of the divine and demonic alliances." Colter answered me, "We are about to start a war, and we don't know how long it will take. They are doing last-minute business."
"The final madness." I said, "Aren't they worried about their own lives?"
"No, both sides need them to circulate scarce supplies." Colter said, "They will be safe before the war begins."
"It's really ironic. Both sides need each other's things, but they insist on fighting to the death." I said with a wry smile, "What the hell is this world?"
The Governor's Mansion here is much smaller than the one in Dark City. Colt did a lot of preliminary work, and after the improvements, it is barely enough to serve as a legion headquarters.
"Tell me." I took the water glass from Colt, "What's going on in the dark side."
"Everything is normal, the army is normal, the government affairs are normal, the spring sowing in the entire province has been completed, and there will be a good harvest this summer." Colter said, "Before I came, the three ladies also told me to take good care of you.
.”
"That's good." I couldn't help but feel very happy when I heard that the spring sowing was completed, "Then - where is Wanpu?"
"That's even better! Sir, do you know?" When talking about his city, Colter looked very interested, "Miss Dill Merlin is great! Her business covers the entire Dark Province, Sibia
Branches have been opened in major cities, and there are even several branches in the Demon Alliance, providing a large amount of funds to Neng Darkness every month."
"Then, those guys in the city hall have no doubts about the origin of the money, right?"
"No, you don't know the city hall! Those guys are almost driven crazy by money. They don't care as long as there is money to send." Colter said, "The three ladies asked me once, but I didn't dare.
explain."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." I nodded, "When will Mafa arrive?"
"He should arrive tomorrow."
"I'm going to sleep. Wake me up as soon as Marfa arrives."
"yes!"
Mafa arrived in the afternoon of the next day. Although it was dusty, she looked much more capable than before.
"Boss!" I was in a meeting when I heard voices outside the door. Mafa rushed over to me like a gust of wind and hugged me, "I miss you so much!"
In front of a group of officers, he made me laugh and cry.
"Okay, okay, it's time to go." I had no choice but to end the regimental commander-level meeting, "Go back and restrain the soldiers. This is your own place. Anyone who messes up will be sent to the Military Justice Department!"
"Yes!" Dozens of group leaders left one after another, leaving only a few brothers around.
"I said Mafa, why don't you get off the boss?" Jack said, "I can hit you with a wrench now!"
"I know you are a military judge now!" Mafa snorted, "But I am not your business!"
Saying hello to Helter and Moya.
"It seems that you are doing a good job." I asked everyone to sit down and "tell us about it."
"Okay boss." Mafa took out a few scrolls from his clothes, "I brought some things, I think these things can help."
"What kind of treasure is it?" Jack leaned over and asked, "Did your men really get it?"
"Don't underestimate these people, they have been carefully trained by me and the boss!" Mafa opened a scroll, "Boss, look, this is the latest and most detailed map of the dividing line between gods and demons!"
Geert touched his chin, "Didn't you say that your last map was the most detailed one?"
"Helter, do you know how fast my people develop?" Mafa said proudly, "I can do a lot of things in one month."
"Explain the map to us!" I slapped Mafa, "Just talk nonsense!"
"Yes! You see, we are focusing our investigation on the side near Sbia. From Garia to the nearest city in the demon country opposite, the straight-line distance is more than 340 miles, and the roads are quite bad." Mafa pointed with his finger.
The map said, "So, if a large army of tens of thousands of people has to cross this distance, you can't even think about it in less than six days."
"And logistics is a big problem." I said, "In such terrain, at least 10,000 logistics personnel are needed."
"Yes, boss, but fortunately, there are no troops from the Demon Alliance Army stationed at the dividing line." Mafa nodded and said, "Their stations are still in the major cities along the line."
"How are you doing with your inquiries into the Demon Alliance Army?" I asked him.
"Due to time constraints, we haven't been able to go deep into the Demon Alliance. We can only wander around the edges, and the information we have obtained is extremely limited." Mafa shook his head, "Based on the information found so far, there are two legions of the Demon Alliance in front of us.
, there are a total of less than 100,000 people in the six camps but less than 110,000 people."
"Is this information accurate?" Moya, who had been silent, asked.
"Absolutely correct." Mafa said with certainty, "We came to this conclusion through a combination of multiple methods. We even checked the garbage in every camp every day."
"Tell me the details."
"We don't know who the commanders of these two legions are, nor which country they are from." Mafa opened another scroll, "But we know the composition of their arms, including 40,000 heavy infantry and 40,000 light infantry.
There are 20,000 heavy cavalry and a type of cavalry that intelligence officers have never seen before. This is the blueprint."
I looked over and saw that it was an animal that was a little shorter than a horse, but much stronger than a horse, with sharp fangs and thick limbs.
"We have carefully calculated that in a cavalry camp like this, the amount of fodder they consume every day is staggering," Mafa said, "three times that of heavy cavalry of the same size."
"Three times that of horses?" I was shocked. This means that the combat effectiveness of this kind of cavalry is at least twice that of heavy cavalry. The demon alliance is not a fool and will not use fodder to feed pets.
I lowered my head and thought for a while, then asked Mafa, "What equipment does the knight above have?"
"Knights are not humans. They are usually two heads shorter than humans." Mafa looked at the scroll. "The weapons are long swords and hammers. They do not wear armor but are equipped with a large shield!"
"Damn!" I couldn't help but yell, "The main force in melee combat!"
Jack asked curiously, "Boss, why do you know this is the main melee force?"
"If it's not a human, it's a foreign warrior." I said to my brothers. "The long sword and the chain hammer are the best weapons in melee. Look at their mounts. The lethality of these animals is no less than that of knights! As for that,
Speaking of not wearing armor, that’s probably the tradition of these warriors. Do cavalry need big shields? Only charging cavalry use big shields to block arrows!”
"Boss, we don't have heavy infantry in our army." Haiert was very worried, "How can we compete with such an enemy?"
"Who is willing to fight against such an enemy unless necessary?" I was depressed, "It depends on what kind of combat order we get."
"The purpose of sending us here is to let us attack from this side and attract the attention of the demon coalition." I pointed at the map and said to everyone, "If there are no accidents, we will definitely be the first among all the legions to enter the battlefield.
of!"
"No problem, boss?" Helter said to me, "Is there any way?"
"Of course." I said with a smile, "Go and call Carlos. The legion will change its training plan starting tomorrow."
"yes!"
"Mafa, how are you communicating with the entire organization?"
Mafa answered me, "No problem, the information will be there when I get there."
"Well, you don't have to go back." I nodded and said, "From now on, you will be the chief liaison officer of the Ninth Army."
"Yes." Mafa scratched her head, "But what does the general liaison officer do?"
"Do what you are doing now, continue to be my eyes and ears." I said, "From today on, the budget of the intelligence system will be increased three times. I want you to figure out all the intelligence on the other side in the shortest possible time!"
"yes!"
