Rise In Calradia

　　 On the southern border of Swadia, thousands of camps have been here for several months.

　　 Under the aristocratic flag slowly floating in the air, the outstanding warriors of the Kingdom of Swadia are preparing everything they need for battle.

　　 The wooden fence encloses all this open space on the border. The roads for trade between the two countries are all blocked by the kingdom guards. The sergeants take soldiers to patrol here and there will not be a problem to protect the supplies needed by the army.

　　Byron has been on his way for six days, and finally reached the border guard post.

In addition to Byron and the others, there are countless horse-drawn carts full of materials and resources continuously sent from the rear. In an emergency, hundreds of horse-drawn carts will come here every day to unload bags of grain and bundles. Forage, there are new armor weapons, and a large number of arrows.

　　 And when they leave, some carriages will also take some things, sometimes a lot of bloodstained, damaged armor. But more often, they took away the mutilated bodies and their relics.

　　 Since the winter has passed and the weather has warmed, the kingdom has surrounded the two major towns of the Rhodok Kingdom, Gruenwald Fort and Agron Fort.

　　 This battle started last fall. Excluding the winter truce, the two sides have fought for more than four months, and both sides have lost a lot of troops at the border.

King Harrods summoned more than half of the lords in the country, gathered 25,000 skilled warriors, attacked Gruen Wardburg, and tried to pull out the nail in the lower throat of Swadia. The heavy cavalry trampled on the entire Veluga, a shame of defeat decades ago.

But just like other wars in Swadia’s southward movement in the past few decades, Gruen Ward Fort survived the onslaught of the army. The Rhodoks even relied on the phalanx of long spears and heavy infantry groups to counterattack several times. Out of the city. The angry king expanded the battle line to Argollomborg, trying to get around the hinterland of Rhodok from the mountain behind the castle.

　　 But in the past four months, the kingdom has lost more than 6,000 well-trained soldiers and more than 100 outstanding knights. The money and food consumed is even more astounding.

　　 But the two castles have not been taken down at all until now. Many Swadia soldiers even had a shadow on the Rhodok heavy crossbow, and they would be scared into a cold sweat when they heard the sound of the crossbow bolts being fired.

　　 At first, Byron didn't understand this King Haraus, who was nicknamed by the players in the game as the "Fourth of Harrods", and he didn't understand the noble lords who would soon lose their wealth and insist on the war.

　　Swadia is a powerful cavalry country, but it wastes time and army under the strong castle and crossbow of Rodok.

　　 He didn't understand the significance of these two castles until after talking with Fatis on this issue, and why the kings and lords have been keen on it.

　　 There are five more countries on the Calradia continent, and the Kingdom of Swadia borders all four other countries.

　　 Among these five countries, Swadia has the largest population, the richest territory, and the strongest overall strength.

　　The most powerful of Swadia’s military power are their heavy cavalry and a large number of outstanding knights. Perhaps the spirit of chivalry is declining greatly on the current continent, but the knights of Swadia still exist like the nightmare of the enemy.

　　 But Swadia, with the strongest overall strength, has been languished in foreign wars in recent decades, and the expansion plan formulated during its strong period has made no progress at all.

　　 To the north, there is the Nord Plateau and the Nord Kingdom, which lacks horses but has strong infantry. These immigrants from the northern continent, like the Vikings on the earth, worship force and are keen on war and plunder. Although the kingdom can use cavalry to suppress them in the plains, as long as the terrain is not right, they will be rubbed against the ground by the morale-struck Nord infantry.

　　Swadia’s commanders have been very depressed about this. They clearly have a disadvantage. As long as the other Yar (lord of the Nord nobles) roars, the soldiers will rush forward like crazy. The battle that was originally won will not be won in the end, and even if you win, the loss will be so great that you don't think you are taking advantage.

　　 Going northeast is the Kingdom of Wikiah. This country is very similar to Russia. More than half of the country is covered with ice and snow. It is cold all year round and the spirit of the people is very tough.

　　Vekias also have their knights and outstanding marksmen, but this is not enough for them to defeat the Kingdom of Swadia with comparable strength. Swadia and Vickia have won most battles in the war, but once they have entered the snow field for a period of time, the troops will begin to collapse due to the weather and supplies, every time it is no exception.

The situation when Napoleon attacked Russia was similar, but because the snowy field was always there and the cold was hard to relieve, facing these tough mountain people, the kingdom and nobles of Swadia chose to give in. The two countries have not had a war for a long time. .

　　 In the East, there is a mixed race of Huns, Turks, and Mongolia, Kujit. They came from the grassland, occupied the eastern commercial cities at the end of the ancient empire, and had their own Khanate.

　　Like the nomads on the earth, they also play with archers very sluggishly. Even the medieval tanks armed to the teeth of Swadia will be tossed by them and can't find the north when they drive on the grassland.

　　 Swadia and the Khergits fought several times, but the end result was that there were twice as many horses that died on the battlefield than those killed by injuries.

　　The heavy cavalry has insufficient mobility to catch up, and gives up the protective advantage. The opponent still has a large number of lancers who can fight with them, and they can't take advantage of it. Almost all the Kujites are soldiers, and it is not worthwhile to change them.

　　Because it is not good to fight against the Kujit Khanate, these steppe people often roam around the border like robbers, UU reading www. The countries around uukanshu.com have chosen forbearance. They don't want to see the situation where there are no living people in the border villages and towns within a few days.

And they don’t want to see the Kujit Khanate fall, because in a sense, this steppe country that has barely integrated into Calradia also blocked their kinsmen on the other side of the Kujit steppe. The horrible existence of the "tribe".

　　 As for the south, that is the **** Sultanate of Salander. It is a real desert country, most of the country is desert.

　　Since it is a desert, there is nothing to say. The other four countries are unwilling to throw their troops into the desert for a few oases. Even if the environment of the desert itself didn't kill them, Sarand Mamluk, who was waiting to take care of his work, was still waiting to take over.

　　 Therefore, the Kingdom of Swadia attacked the Kingdom of Rodok again and again.

　　 Although the frontier castles of Rhodok are hard bones, the terrain of the Kingdom of Rhodok has caused a problem. To the north of Aaron, the big city to the west, there are mountains and castles. But the terrain on the east side has been greatly eased, once the two fortresses on the border are taken...no! As long as one wins one, the entire eastern part of Rhodok, including the rich lands of Veluga and Jelkala, will be exposed under the horses of the Swadia cavalry!

　　 Maybe the Rhodoks have repelled the Swadia knights many times with an infantry phalanx, but the gap in national strength caused them to be unable to hold on for long once the border was opened. At that time, the mountain kingdom may be the only thing that can be defended.

　　 Riding on the horse, Byron listened to Fatis's account, feeling a little uneasy.

　　 What he is afraid of is naturally his own wallet, and he is afraid that the Rhodoks will arrest them after crossing the border. After all, they are coming from the enemy, so there is no doubt that they are not.
