Chapter 469: Battle of Silver Moon Island 1

After Richard was promoted to Legend, he recorded his breakthrough experience. This kind of knowledge is very precious and is a secret that large forces do not pass on. Every large force has accumulated its most precious heritage bit by bit.

In recent years, Harland Territory has developed rapidly, and many professionals have broken through to the legendary realm. For every professional who has been promoted to Legend, Richard will let them leave their breakthrough experience.

Among them, the warriors have the most experience in breakthrough. William, Jennings, and Soros have been promoted to Legend. Harland Territory has three warrior breathing methods that can be practiced to the legendary realm.

The experience of knights is relatively poor, because Sylph and Sutton both broke through the realm with a bottle of water of life. Although some of the secrets of being promoted to a legendary knight have been mastered, it is actually difficult to promote them.

The experience of magicians is better than that of knights. Richard recorded his insights after being promoted.

With the experience accumulated by Richard, Sophia also successfully broke through the realm in late March. Like Richard, she created a new legendary spell template, elemental decomposition.

Because of the creation of new legendary spells, when Sofia broke through, her mental power increased by two points compared to ordinary legends.

Generally speaking, after being promoted to legend, the mental power will increase to twelve points, and the soul and body will also undergo the first magic particle transformation.

Before Sofia was promoted, her mental power had exceeded fifty points, and her body had undergone the first elemental transformation, awakening the water element body talent. After being promoted to legend, according to Richard's calculation, Sofia's mental power had reached sixty-four points. Awakened the storm body talent.

Because the mental power converted into higher magic power, Sofia's magic power is 1600 points in total, which is stronger than Elena, who was promoted to legend for hundreds of years. Sofia has a great advantage in using water and wind attribute spells. Although Sofia was promoted to legend for a short time and mastered few legendary spells, her real combat power is enough to be on par with veteran legendary mages such as Elena and Sussman.

After Richard and Sophia are promoted, the Harland Mage Association will become more powerful. An organization with two legendary mages is a giant in the Markholm Magic Kingdom.

If a legendary mage joins the Markholm Magic Kingdom, he can immediately become a member of the Magic Council, and can obtain a sealed territory and become the Duke of the Markholm Magic Kingdom.

Of course, Richard and Sophia will not give up the territory they have run for many years and enter the Southwest Magic Kingdom to continue to be the Duke.

After years of development, the Harland Territory Mage Association already has 680 formal members and 4,500 reserve members. Although the scale is not as large as the East Coast, which has accumulated for many years, it is actually very impressive. If the influence brought by the two legendary mages Richard and Sophia is added, the Harland Mage Association is stronger than the East Coast Magic Academy.

Now the Harland Mage Association has two legends, one nine-ring, one eight-ring, and four seven-ring.

In recent years, almost all the main members of the Mage Association have been promoted. Undine was promoted to the ninth ring, Wendy was promoted to the eighth ring, and Anne and Butler were promoted to the seventh ring. Capeson, Bella, and Barica were also promoted to the sixth ring, and seven or eight people including Margaret, Harrison, and Roentgen were promoted to the fifth ring.

In addition to the elf mages who joined halfway, the middle-level backbones of the Harland Mage Association continued to emerge, and gradually they could take charge of their own affairs.

After Richard and Sophia were promoted successively, Harland Territory did not need to leave so many legends in the Red Moon Plane.

First of all, Richard did not want to expand his power in the Red Moon Plane and provoke a war, so as not to provoke the gods to interfere and participate in the war. Secondly, the war broke out in the Kingdom of Grant, and there was chaos in the rear of Harland Territory. Faced with this situation, Richard had to free up his hands to maintain the situation in the rear and quell the rebellion.

After discussion, it was decided to leave Sophia and Soros to guard the Red Moon Plane.

In recent years, the Red Moon Plane has been the focus of Harland Territory's operations, and in the Red Moon Plane, the captured half plane is very critical. In order to ensure that everything is safe, Richard left the Star Necklace and the Flame Staff to Sophia as a trump card at a critical moment. In addition, the second legendary golem refined by Harland Territory also remained in the Red Moon Plane.

Although Richard and Sylph left, the high-level combat power left in the Red Moon Plane is also extraordinary. It is enough to deal with ordinary fights and maintain the situation.

After Richard and Sylph used the teleportation channel to return to the Dawn Plane, they immediately took the magic ship back to Fort William.

Because the Red Moon Plane still needs constant support from the Dawn Plane, Sutton still needs to continue to maintain the transportation line and protect the safety of the magic fleet.

Recently, the Crimson Horn cultists have provoked rebellions everywhere, and even Harland Territory has not been spared.

Fortunately, Harland Territory is politically stable, the living standards of free people are relatively high, and contract slaves also have hope. After the expiration of the contract, they can share the land. Because of the good living conditions, the spread of the cult is more difficult. In addition, Harland is very strict with secret missionary organizations, and the intelligence department is very large. Once an underground preaching meeting is discovered, it will be killed.

It is relatively difficult for organizations like the Bloody Horn to infiltrate Harland, and cultists who believe in the God of Killing are very rare. Despite this, the Bloody Horn successfully provoked a rebellion, causing hundreds of casualties and a certain amount of chaos.

After Richard and Sylph returned to the territory, Harland had suppressed the cultist rebellion.

Harland stabilized its position, but the Grant Kingdom was in trouble.

First, the cultist rebellion broke out in the Earldom of Wimble and the Province of Steven, and then Viscount Gauss of the Province of Selldorf raised the banner of rebellion and announced his support for the old master, the Venus family, to overthrow the rule of the Kingdom of Grant.

Selldorf Province is close to Nolan and is the heart of the Kingdom of Grant. There was a problem here, and King Roger immediately dispatched the Royal Guards to quell the rebellion.

As soon as the Royal Guards were assembled, the East Coast United Kingdom received the news and immediately assembled ten legions to attack the four marquises in the east from the sea.

The four marquises in the east sent a continuous letter of help, and King Roger could only transfer three Royal Guards to the east.

Today, the Grant royal family has ten regular legions, four of which are border troops and six are imperial guards.

Among the ten regular legions, six are on the southern front, and four of them are border troops in the royal direct territory, mainly under the command of the new legendary knight Heaton.

Two legions were located at the southwest border of the Kingdom of Grant, cooperating with Harland to defend the Kingdom of Ryan, and fighting under the command of Wilde.

Six legions were in the south, and only four guard legions were left in Nolan.

Three were withdrawn at once to support the four marquises in the east. In a short period of time, the Kingdom of Roger had almost no troops to dispatch, and had no strength to quell the rebellion.

Unable to withdraw the main force to quell the rebellion, the rebels became more and more powerful, and the war even spread to the Nolan area. In desperation, the Kingdom of Roger could only order troops to be dispatched from the front line to quell the rebellion.

Like a domino, King Roger was about to dispatch troops, and the main forces of Delon and Ryan joined the war one after another. For a time, the situation on the front line became very tense and could not be returned.

If it weren't for the crazy people like Blood Horn who provoked the rebellion without distinguishing between enemies and friends, and tied up part of the energy of Delon and the East Coast, the Kingdom of Grant might have been defeated across the board this time and could not maintain the front line.

Now the situation in the eastern countries has become extremely chaotic, and many areas are completely chaotic.

Grant, East Coast, and Delon were all unable to concentrate on dealing with foreign enemies. They had to suppress the rebellion while barely maintaining the supply and battle lines on the front line.

Only the situation in the Kingdom of Ryan was better. The internal rebellion was not serious, so they could devote all their efforts to launching a war.

After entering March of the 3280th year of the Dawn Calendar, the Kingdom of Ryan once again mobilized 600,000 troops, still attacking in three directions, and the battle on the front line was already very intense.

The Kingdom of Ryan pressed forward aggressively. The four great nobles, Jonathan, York, Duran, and Loran, tried their best and mobilized 400,000 troops to fight against the Kingdom of Ryan.

The Wilde Corps led by Earl Philip also cooperated with the two Royal Guard Corps of Grant to launch a counterattack from the south line to support the four nobles in defending the border.

The war on the front line was tight, and the Kingdom of Grant once again asked for help from Fort William.

Before Richard and Sylph returned to the Dawn Plane, Undine had already sent the first batch of reinforcements. The fifth and sixth regular legions had entered the Grand Duchy of Stannic by rail to help maintain the situation on the Western Front.

After Richard and Sylph returned, the Kingdom of Roger once again asked for help from Harland.

Now Harland has a total of 220,000 direct troops, including 40,000 in the Red Moon Plane and 180,000 in the Dawn Plane.

There are eight regular legions in the 220,000 troops. The legions in the Dawn Plane are numbered from the first to the sixth legions, and the legions in the Red Moon Plane are numbered as the seventh and eighth legions. In addition to the eight legion regulars, there are a total of 60,000 second-line auxiliary troops.

The combat effectiveness of Harland's auxiliary troops is not weak, and they are trained intensively for four months a year. From the first day of the establishment of the territory, Richard attached great importance to the development of the second-line corps.

After years of accumulation, there are also many professional officers among the auxiliary troops. Because of the abundant steel production, everyone in the auxiliary troops has iron armor, and the auxiliary officers are also equipped with enchanted armor and alchemical bombs.

Based on the experience of the war two years ago, the auxiliary troops of Harland were enough to fight against the regular army of the Kingdom of Ryan, and were stronger than the regular army of the East Coast.

When Roger sent people for help, Harland had already sent the fifth and sixth legions to the southern line.

Of the 180,000 troops of Harland in the Dawn Plane, 80,000 have been transferred to the front line, including three regular legions and 20,000 auxiliary troops, almost half of the total force.

The remaining troops of Harland cannot be easily mobilized. A legion must be left in Prilan Castle. This legion must not only guard against the undead going south, but also against the trouble caused by the orcs going east.

The 10,000 garrisons of Xinghui Castle cannot be mobilized either. This force needs to guard against the enemy going upstream along the Black River and causing trouble to the core territory of Harland.

Five years ago, the Kingdom of Sith sent a navy, which caused considerable chaos to Harland.

A legion must also be left in the core areas of the territory such as Fort William and Black River Castle to protect the core industries of Harland. Snow Crystal Lake and Losa Basin are in special situations, and a large number of garrisons must also be left to guard them.

The Kro Fortress in the western part of the Eagle Mountains is now the focus of defense against orcs. It also needs to station a legion to form a horn with the Prilan garrison, one in the south and one in the north to jointly prevent the trouble caused by the invasion of orcs.

Although Harland has 100,000 troops, it can only withdraw 20,000 to 30,000 at most without affecting the stability of the situation.

At this moment, the troops of the Grant Kingdom have been exhausted, and the small and medium nobles have been recruited and sent to the front line. The momentum of the rebellion is getting bigger and bigger. The Roger Kingdom has no choice but to take the last royal guard corps and leave the Norland Castle to quell the rebellion.

Although the armies controlled by the Blood Horn and the Venus family were far less elite than the Royal Guards, the Venus family, with the help of legendary magicians and legendary knights, still made the Grant Kingdom suffer a lot, losing three to four thousand soldiers in just one month.

A legendary magician has the ability to change the outcome of a medium-sized battle, and the lethality of a legendary knight is stronger than that of an elite brigade of all professions.

Two legendary professionals appeared on the battlefield and immediately beat the Grant Kingdom Guards into a mess.

After a few battles, the Grant Kingdom lost soldiers and generals. Even if Roger and Pansy tried their best, the disadvantage was still irreversible. They could only hang up the banner of exemption from war and rely on the solid castle to maintain the front line.

Three to four thousand soldiers were lost in a month. At this rate of loss, if Roger's Kingdom persisted for another month or two, it would inevitably face a situation of defeat.

Once Nolan fell, it would inevitably cause the entire line to shake, and the Grant family might lose power.

The situation on the front line was not good, and King Roger could only keep asking for help from Harland.

Among the great nobles of the Grant Kingdom, only Harland has spare capacity and can dispatch troops for support.

After receiving continuous letters of help from the Roger Kingdom, Richard weighed the pros and cons and decided to lead troops to rescue in person.

First of all, he has not yet put on the crown. The lord is in trouble. According to the simple values ​​of the nobles in this world, the vassal should lead troops to support. At this time, sending troops can get the reputation of a loyal minister. Sometimes having a good reputation is very important for the development of the territory.

In addition, the Grant Kingdom is located in the south of Harland. The two sides have cooperated for many years and have a high degree of trust. While helping the Grant Kingdom, it is equivalent to helping Harland stabilize the front line in the south.

Once the Grant Kingdom is defeated and the territory is divided by the three countries of Ryan, the situation in Harland will also be like the lips and teeth. At that time, the territory will become surrounded by enemies. Not only will it have to give up the Earl of Philip in the south, but it will also face four-line warfare.

If the Three Kingdoms Alliance continues, the national strength of Harland is too far behind that of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. If the war continues, it is likely that it will be divided by the three kingdoms.

After making the decision to reinforce the Kingdom of Grant, Richard decided to draw the Second Legion and recruit 12,000 soldiers from the vassal nobles to take the magic ship and rush to the front line as quickly as possible.

After analyzing the overall situation of the war, after comprehensive consideration, Richard decided to deploy his troops to the East Front.

The goal of this battle is to capture Silver Moon Island, and then find an opportunity to severely damage the fleet of the East Coast United Kingdom and cut off the supply line of the East Coast United Kingdom army.

Once the combat goal is achieved, the situation in the Kingdom of Grant will improve comprehensively. The three Eastern Guard Corps and the 160,000 troops of four marquises can be freed up to easily quell the internal rebellion.

This huge army, no matter which direction it is deployed, can change the situation of the war and improve the overall situation.

The most critical point now is whether the combat goal can be achieved? Conquer Silver Moon Island and severely damage the magic ship on the East Coast.
