Chapter 669: Hammer Combat
"Liya, it's you again."
Su Cheng said in a helpless tone without even opening his eyes.
After recent "training", Su Cheng is no longer surprised by Liya who always appears suddenly.
Since Liya reappeared in front of him not long ago, she has been running to Su Cheng's house almost every day to play with Su Cheng.
Su Cheng was also happy to spend time with this friend.
The two played cards and chess every day.
I have to say that Liya is a pretty good playmate, and it’s quite fun to play cards and chess with her.
Liya's chess skills were very good, and she could compete with Su Cheng. It was the first time that Su Cheng met someone who could compete with him in war games.
Su Cheng straightened up, opened his eyes, and looked at Liya who was sitting opposite him at some point:
"Speaking of which - if you suddenly appear in my carriage like this, if the coachman and guards hear your voice, it will be difficult for me to explain to them why there is an extra person in my carriage suddenly."
"Don't worry, I have already used silent magic in advance before entering your carriage. Now the entire carriage is wrapped by my silent barrier, so you don't have to worry about people outside hearing what's going on inside."
After saying that, Liya took out a deck of Tequin cards from her pocket.
"Let's play cards! No one outside can hear what's going on inside anyway!"
Tekun - is currently the most popular card game in mainland China and is very fun.
It was once so popular that everyone from nobles to common people were playing Tekun.
It was so popular that "Hey! Stop chatting! Let's play Tequin!" became people's mantra at that time.
Although it is not as popular as before, it is still very popular.
Alan was once very addicted to Tequin.
In order to play cards with Alan, Su Cheng developed a passable card skill.
During the recent period, Su Cheng has been playing Tekun almost every day with Liya, who really likes to play Tekun. They play twenty or thirty games almost every day.
Faced with Liya's invitation to play cards, Su Cheng did not accept:
"Let's talk about playing cards or something later. There's still a long way to go back to the north. There are plenty of opportunities to play cards."
After saying that, Su Cheng took out a map from his arms and unfolded it.
This is a map of the Holy Hiram Empire.
To be precise - a map of the western part of the Holy Hiran Empire.
The Holy Hiran Empire has a companion capital.
Auxiliary capital - a deputy capital set up outside the capital.
In addition to the capital, the Holy Hiran Empire
A companion capital, Ariel, was also established.
Ariel, the capital of the Holy Hiran Empire, is located in its west.
Su Cheng's eyes kept wandering on the map in his hand.
Take a look at the Muhawicz Fortress established by the Holy Hiran Empire on the Eghar Corridor, and then take a look at Ariel, the capital of the western part of the Holy Hiran Empire.
He frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.
Although she didn't know what Su Cheng was thinking about now, Liya kept her mouth shut obediently so as not to disturb Su Cheng's thinking.
…
…
The year 292 of the Britannian Empire's imperial calendar/the year 214 of the Holy Hiran Empire's imperial calendar.
March 15, at noon.
Holy Hiran Empire, Muhawicz Fortress.
El, who was standing on a high ground somewhere, looked at the troops that were continuously gathering towards the Muhawicz Fortress with an almost endless line in sight, and couldn't help but murmured:
"The size of this army... is really amazing..."
As soon as El finished speaking, Camille, who was standing beside El, curled her lips and said in a disdainful tone:
"What a ridiculous war... We only used 300,000 soldiers to break through the Avalon Fortress. Your Majesty should really come to the front line to see what kind of copper and iron walls the Avalon Fortress is. Wait until he finishes reading "
"300,000 combat troops, 500,000 logistics troops, total mobilization of 800,000..." Gabriel on the side said at this time, "Oh my god... I have grown up, this is the first time I have seen such a large scale. The army..."
El and Gabriel were also mobilized to participate in this large-scale offensive against the Britannian Empire - Operation Hammer.
As a third-class quartermaster, El was incorporated into the logistics force and was responsible for managing the logistics and transportation of the troops.
As a third-class military attaché, Gabriel was incorporated into the combat unit and was responsible for frontline battles.
Because their current official positions are very low, they can only do some chores and hard work.
As a white Camille, she did not need to go to the front line, but because she begged their teacher and adoptive father, Dominic, and begged Dominic to take her to the front line, Dominic reluctantly agreed to Camille's request, and also Bring Camille to the front line.
Unlike El and Gabriel, who are busy every day, Kamil, who is white and does not hold any official position, is very leisurely in the Muhawicz Fortress.
I am either reading or studying every day.
Only at noon every day can El and Gabriel finally take a break.
Only at noon can the three of them get together and chat for a while.
El tightened his clothes tightly and smiled bitterly: "The weather is gradually getting warmer, and the troops and baggage are gradually in place. The battle... is about to begin..."
"The total mobilization number is 800,000..." Gabriel curled his lips, "How much money and food will it cost for such a huge mobilization..."
"It has reached an astronomical figure." Kamil continued, "Food and drinking water for 800,000 people every day, as well as weapons and equipment for 300,000 combat troops, various medicines for the wounded, and supplies for war horses, pack horses, donkeys, and mules. The daily cost of fodder and concentrate used has reached an appalling level.”
"So far, the only countries that can carry out such an exaggerated scale of operations, including all the countries in the continent, are our Holy Hiran Empire, Britannia Empire and Frankish Empire. The Rollin Empire might have been able to do so before. It can be done, but the current Luo Lin Empire should no longer be able to do it.”
After listening to Camille's words, Gabriel frowned:
"After spending so much money and food and mobilizing such a huge army, if we lose... what will happen to our empire?"
Before Kamil could speak, El on the side smiled wryly, scratched his head, and replied:
"If we spend so much money and mobilize such a large army and still lose, we'll be in trouble..."
"If you lose a battle of this scale, it's no joke..."
"If we lose, it is very likely that the foundation of our Holy Hiran Empire will be severely damaged..."
"I just hope that our Holy Hiran Empire can win this battle..."
Speaking of this, El let out a long sigh.
"Even if I can't win, I hope it won't be too embarrassing to lose..."
