Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Mage Tower Castle, Study Room.

Elena came in: "Your Majesty, this is a summary of recent news from the royal capital, as well as Count Petro Navarro's magic letter."

Because the territory has its own mage tower, the news from the royal capital will be summarized and transmitted once a week. If there is an emergency, it can be called at any time.

Kristine picked up the letter and read it. The news coming from the royal capital contained a major piece of news, which was that the Slavic Empire and the Kingdom of Rus were at war.

Originally, the Kingdom of Rus was part of the Slavic Empire, and the true gods believed in by both countries were also of the Slavic pantheon, with Sventovit, the god of war, as their main god. But during the long battle, the war god Sventovit and his auxiliary gods disagreed on the road issue.

The God of War Sventovit believes that war serves politics, and battles can only be carried out to achieve goals. The god who had a disagreement with him believed that war was killing, and as long as he killed all the enemies, he would automatically win.

This divergence of paths is normal. It is a dispute between the paths of war of order and war of chaos.

Chaos war was an early form. At that time, city-states were fighting each other. In order to weaken the power of the true god that the other party believed in, the most direct method was often to massacre those who did not want to convert within a few days.

Ordered war means that after the establishment of a country, believers are no longer limited to living together in the same country. This method of killing is no longer suitable for the development of the times.

There is a problem within the Slavic pantheon, and the gods of the Faerun pantheon must fan the flames, especially the god of war, Campas, who dances the most happily. After all, he and Sventovit are irreconcilable mortal enemies.

As a result, the two sides also engaged in small-scale conflicts, but the "Non-Aggression Treaty between the Kingdom of the Rhine and the Slavic Empire" was signed in the end, which temporarily stopped it.

But the final result was that the two gods had a falling out because of road issues, and the god was renamed Ethnu, the god of killing. It turns out that the faith area of ​​Esnu also split from the great empire and established the Kingdom of Rus.

If the concept of the true God is different, then everyone can go their separate ways, but Ursnu is the god of killing. In order to please the god, his followers began to persecute the believers of Sventovit, the god of war, in the Kingdom of Rus.

Once this kind of activity started, it could not be stopped, and it became that anyone who did not believe in the God of Killing was a heretic and was persecuted.

According to the character of the God of War Sventovit, this matter cannot be tolerated, and all problems must be solved with a divine war.

But the key is that there is also the God of War Campas of the Faerun God System. The God of War Sventovit can definitely defeat the God of Killing Erthwrath, but after the victory, he will definitely be seriously injured. When Campas takes action, he will become The ultimate winner.

Once Sventovit falls, the entire Slavic pantheon will never be a match for the Faerun pantheon, so the war cannot be started easily.

If the divine war cannot be fought, what about the war between secular kingdoms? How can we say that the strength of the Slavic Empire is several times stronger than that of the Rus Kingdom (the setting of this book), and it can always win.

However, the Slavic Empire was unable to devote its full strength.

It borders the Orc Kingdom to the northwest. Although the Orcs have never attacked on a large scale due to the terrain and climate, the necessary defenses and soldiers are indispensable.

The Principality of Rhodes Sea and the Kingdom of Piast, which border to the west, were both founded by the sacred blood of the Faerun God System, and they all believe in the true gods of the Faerun God System.

Although the relationship between the other true gods in the Faerunian pantheon and the Slavic pantheon, except for the God of War Campas, has now eased, who can guarantee that Si will not fall out? Therefore, the Rav Empire must station heavy troops on the border for defense.

In particular, the Piast Kingdom's proud "Wing Cavalry" regiment involved a large number of troops in the Slavic Empire.

This legion is divided into two parts: heavy armored cavalry and rangers. There are 500 heavy armored cavalry. Compared with other kingdoms, the advantage is only that there are 20% more knights. It doesn't matter, but the biggest threat is the 500 rangers. Cavalry, because their mounts are specially bred Pegasus.

Unlike the Pegasus knights of the elves who can directly participate in the battle, the Pegasus of the Rangers are only used as flying mounts. They will dismount and fight on foot after approaching the battlefield.

It's not that the Slavic Empire doesn't have flying troops, nor does it have mages who can fly, but together they can't even get up to 500. Besides, even if they can get enough, they can't just put them all together to confront the hussars, and don't care about other places. ?

Therefore, we can only station more garrisons in towns without mage towers on the border. Even if the Pegasus Winged Cavalry makes a sneak attack, they will suffer huge losses if they knock down the town, so they dare not launch an attack without fear of rat. After all, it is very difficult to cultivate this kind of Pegasus, and the maintenance cost is not low. The Piast Kingdom is reluctant to lose too much.

So why does the Slavic Empire now have troops to attack the Kingdom of Rus? This matter still has something to do with Christine.

She went to Roskilde Island with the Dragon God Church and the elves to explore the ruins. Although she found nothing useful in the end, she had a battle with the orc master shamans when she came back.

At that time, neither side could do anything to defeat the other, but after the battle, a lot of spell slots, spell scrolls, magic gems and other items were consumed.

Later, reinforcements from the human side arrived, and when they saw the orc master-level shamans escaping, they chased after them. The final result was that two people were killed and the orc attacking troops were bombarded, forcing the southward attack to end not long after it started.

This kind of thing is a great shame for the Beast King and the Great Shaman. The loss of soldiers does not matter. After fighting with humans for so long, there is victory and defeat, and a temporary defeat is nothing. But the loss of the master level cannot be tolerated. Even though the orc master level shaman has many lives, his death cannot be in vain.

We had to find a way back, so we gathered our troops and prepared to do something big.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and the orcs have no sense of confidentiality. Moreover, such a big move of mobilizing personnel and materials cannot be completely kept secret, and it was discovered by humans.

Now that all human countries know it, they should prepare in advance. Train soldiers, forge weapons, hoard food and grass, recruit mercenaries, and store various magic materials.

The Slavic Empire also recruited mercenaries, and then sent them to defend the front lines fighting the orcs.

Everyone thought this was quite normal, but they overlooked one question: why did they know about the Slavic Empire recruiting mercenaries? Because the mercenaries from Rhodes Sea Mansion and the Piast Kingdom got the news.

However, there are also mercenaries in the Slavic Empire. If you count them all, they are a considerable force.

The Slavic Empire used these mercenaries to guard the border between its own country and the Orc Kingdom. It replaced the regular troops and added domestic troops to launch an attack on the Kingdom of Rus.
