Chapter 493 This Is Different From What Was Promised!

The public declaration of Taris Territory spread throughout the entire Illrus Empire in an instant, and almost everyone felt tense in their hearts.

Everyone understands that things are serious this time!

Everyone knows the importance of the Taris Territory to the Ilrus royal family. It can be said that Taris is the back garden of the Ilrus royal family, and it is also the last trump card. Every Ilrus royal family will find a way to bring Taris to the throne. Si is firmly in control.

But now, Nitro, who should be a staunch supporter of Gilad, suddenly announced his support for Princess Alleria and publicly supported Ellington's independence.

The meaning is very clear - there is indeed a problem with Prince Gilad's coronation.

Suddenly, the whole country was in turmoil, and everyone was in danger.

Gossips began to circulate again that Tang En was Victor's illegitimate son, and people began to wonder whether Gilad had committed patricide because of this...

The truth that makes people ponder and be horrified seems to be covered with a layer of white veil, which can be seen by gently pushing it aside, but few people have the courage to lift that layer of white veil.

In this tense and inexplicable atmosphere, another piece of news appeared that completely broke the balance.

The Scar of the Holy Sword's 10,000 troops marched south and have arrived at Fort Casparmi!

Internal war is about to break out!

Ellington.

Fiona spread out a scroll in front of Tang En: "Lord, this is the latest news. The invaders belong to the Third Army of the Empire. The commander is General Marshall Lawson. They are currently only 100 meters away from Fort Casparmi. About ten kilometers away, an attack may be launched at any time.”

Alleria added: "Marshall Lawson, a military expert in the empire second only to Lord Aubrey and Lord Adrian, joined the army as a civilian at the age of fourteen and participated in many small-scale wars. During this period, he performed well Excellent, he got a precious opportunity at the age of forty and rose to the top. In the following ten years, he worked steadily, firmly established his position in the Third Army, and eventually became the commander of this army. official."

"At present, it seems that Marshall has become Gillard's subordinate."

"wrong."

Tang En shook his head: "Rather than saying that he is a subordinate of Gilad, it is better to say that he is a subordinate of that mysterious man."

Controlling Gilad is equivalent to controlling the Third Army of the Empire and the entire Illrus Empire, and now, that person is about to ignite the war.

Ellington, obviously, is the best target.

Fort Casparmi, which had just been captured by Ellington, could just be a warm-up battlefield for the first battle.

However, will Tang En make it so smooth and comfortable for them?

Obviously not.

Ellington didn't like war, but Ellington was never afraid of war!

"Command down."

Tang En said to Elsa next to him: "All combatants immediately dressed up, brought supplies, and completed the assembly at the teleportation array square within an hour."

Elsa saluted without hesitation: "Yes! Lord!"

After Elsa left, Fiona asked a little uneasily: "Lord, do we really want to go to war with Gilad? Now is not a good time."

"It's not that we are going to war, but that the other side is coming."

Tang En said calmly: "Facing the invasion, Ellington will never take a step back."

Alleria pondered for a moment and said: "Compared with the Ellington Guards, the average combat effectiveness of the Empire's Third Army is worse, and their equipment is not as good as ours. In addition, we are in a defensive battle, with four thousand pairs. Even if it’s ten thousand, it’s not impossible to fight.”

Fiona was stunned: "Isn't it an army of thirty thousand?"

"Do you really believe it?"

"I don't often talk about the empire's 100,000-strong army..."

"That's just an external propaganda offensive. This is not a time of war. Who can afford a hundred thousand troops? Do you know what a hundred thousand troops are? Without sufficient logistical support, an Ellington can be defeated in one day. It’s no exaggeration to say that there is no grass growing anywhere!”

After all, she was from the royal family and knew a lot about the military. Fiona was not as good as Alleria in this aspect.

"If we really want to launch a nationwide uprising and demand military expansion, it's not impossible to squeeze out a million-strong army. It's just that four-fifths of the so-called million-strong army are just recruited to be used as cannon fodder. Farmers, it is the small group of elites who really play a decisive role.”

"More than 70% of our national treasury's revenue every year goes into the stomachs of army soldiers. We don't have the money to replace it with better equipment, let alone expand the army."

Alleria sighed and said: "The total combat strength of the entire Empire's Third Legion is only 30,000 people. Just to meet the needs of these 30,000 warriors, there are 100,000 people working for them in the Trace of the Holy Sword." Food, clothing, housing and transportation services. If a 10,000-strong army is dispatched, at least 20,000 army logistics personnel will be needed to ensure the transportation of food and grass for the soldiers. A one-to-two staffing ratio is the most basic. When combined with external publicity, it is equivalent to a 30,000-strong army."

Fiona suddenly realized: "Although he has no fighting ability, we can't tell if he puts on clothes and stands in the team. At least there will be some oppression in terms of momentum."

"Yes, the pressure is completely different when 10,000 and 30,000 people appear in front of us, but what we really need to care about is the 10,000 soldiers."

Alleria said solemnly: "As long as we prevent them from attacking Castle Kaspami, we will be invincible."

Fiona raised her eyebrows and said, "What if they prepare trebuchets and siege ladders?"

Alleria looked at Tang En: "I think that time is the time for our lord to take action."

"I?"

Tang En shook his head: "Let me see the situation. If it is not necessary, I will not take action."

Now the Ellington Guards have been replaced with new buffer armors, which have greatly increased their defense power, and their weapons have also been equipped with assault rifles. Through the efforts of Pamela and Ilia, a small batch of single-magic effects have been produced. Magic pistols are equipped to captain-level members, coupled with goblin throwing grenades and various bombs purchased from Galian, this team is armed to the teeth.

Relying on the castle to fight defensive battles, the fire suppression of assault rifles alone can make the Third Army of the Empire unable to take the lead. Are you still afraid of losing?

Tang En first sent people to Fort Casparmi to convey the order, and immediately raised the city gate to isolate the entire castle from the outside world. People from nearby villages had already fled to Ellington, so there was no need to care about the empty village.

An hour later, Tang En arrived at the teleportation array square outside. The Ellington Guards had already assembled, and teams that could not accommodate the square were now on standby nearby.

"Without further ado, now, the Empire's Third Army has arrived at Fort Kaspami, preparing to attack the town that belongs to us, Ellington. Now, we have to defend the territory that belongs to us."

Tang En clenched his fists and raised them high: "Tell them to go back to where they came from!"

"Tell them to go back to where they came from!"

"Ellington must win!"

"Now, let's go!"

A huge amount of magic power suddenly surged out of Tang En's body, activating the teleportation array platform. In the twisted space, a picture of Castle Kaspami on the other side emerged.

The excited warriors lined up neatly, clenched their weapons, and then passed through the portal one by one, directly crossing a distance of more than 800 kilometers and arriving at Castle Kaspami.

The atmosphere in Fort Kasparmi is now tense, and every resident is panicked. They feel miserable after having been peaceful for so many years, but facing two wars in just one month.

What saddens the residents of Fort Casparmi most is that when Lord Lawrence was in office, Fort Casparmi still had decent troops. However, with Lawrence's defeat, Fort Casparmi was classified as Ellington's. After gaining territory, Lord Tang En did not recruit troops again, and the huge Castle Casparmi could not even find a decent patrol team.

Castle Casparmi, which only maintains a minimum security force, now has to face Prince Gilad's 30,000-strong army to attack the rebels. Who is not afraid?

Now that the army is approaching, many people are cursing Tang En in their hearts. They think it was Tang En who drove them to a dead end.

However, at this moment, the residents of Fort Casparmi suddenly discovered that a group of soldiers wearing bright armor suddenly appeared in the town square. Their steps were uniform and their discipline was strict. Their eyes are firm and bright, and their equipment is extremely well-equipped!

The people here had no idea how they appeared, but when they saw the emblems on their armors, they knew they were elite warriors from Ellington!

"Ellington's warriors? Wait! How did they appear?"

"I don't know, it seems like they suddenly appeared in the square! Could it be that they have been hiding here all along?"

"But that's not right. They left after the last war!"

The residents of Fort Casparmi were extremely shocked, and the mercenary guild with a keen sense of smell was vaguely aware of something. The person in charge of the Fort Casparmi branch stared at the center of the square, where a group of light was distorted.

"Is that... a portal? Using a portal to transport troops... What a generous move!"

The person in charge still didn't expect the teleportation array, and just thought it was Tang En who opened the teleportation gate.

Transporting soldiers through the portal requires a very high level of magician cultivation. Each transfer will have a short-term impact on the magician who maintains the portal. Therefore, the portal spell is very unfavorable for transporting a large number of soldiers and supplies. The teleportation array is best choice.

The teleportation array has long been lost, so no one would think of this aspect.

In just ten minutes, 4,000 Ellington Guard members completely took control of all parts of Fort Casparmi. The chaotic and tense atmosphere was brought under control, and a brief state of order returned.

At the same time, a group of soldiers followed the order and began to guide the residents of Fort Kaspami, allowing them to take refuge in Ellington.

The camouflaged teleportation array did not make those people aware of it. A large number of residents packed up and passed through the teleportation array and came to Ellington. They were then guided by the person in charge arranged here to arrange temporary accommodation.

At the same time, the unique Ellington also opened the eyes of these people and shocked them deeply...

Before the evacuation work was completed, the Third Army was approaching Fort Kaspami.

The soldiers on the city wall could even see the lines on their armor clearly.

"Hey, this doesn't seem to be the same as promised..."
