Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

On the first day after Christine returned, she received the hereditary honorary Count of Este to discuss the purchase of grain. On the second day, I went to Margherita, the capital of the Kingdom of Iberia, and negotiated relevant matters with King Alfonso. On the third day, the agreement was officially signed.

It was not until the fourth day that Lord Calvin, the special envoy of the Viscount of Cantabria and his eldest son, saw the Earl of Stewart.

Christine was simply polite: "I've been busy these days, I hope Lord Calvin can understand."

Honorable Lord Calvin quickly smiled and said: "Of course I understand, of course I understand."

How could he not know about such a big thing as the Kingdom of Iberia exchanging land for food? No matter how big the matter is for a viscounty, it cannot be compared with the king. Not to mention waiting for three days, even if he waits for a few more days, he will not dare to complain at all. .

For the Earl of Stewart, some nobles used to call her "the greedy dragon" behind her back. But after she took control of the entire county of Brittany, everyone called her "the respected Earl of Stewart" or "the respected Earl of Stewart". "Tulips of the Kingdom of France".

Women are all petty. Even if they say something in private, it would be bad if it reaches the ears of Earl Stewart. There is no need to offend others just to show off their words.

Christine asked: "Lord Calvin, why did the Viscount of Cantabria send you here?"

"My lord, the demon army has captured the Count of Navarre and is heading towards the Basque Viscounty. The next target is our Cantabria territory, so my father sent me to ask for help from you."

Christine knew that the half-elf leader must have asked the elves for help first, so she asked, "How did the elves respond?"

"The elves will send five masters and corresponding mid- and high-level professionals to support them, and the other two half-elf tribes will each send a thousand soldiers and corresponding professionals."

"This won't do anything at all."

Honorable Lord Calvin explained: "You also know that the elves are now being harassed and have no time to take care of themselves. If you hadn't eliminated the four masters of the dark elves, they wouldn't even be able to send out these supports. That's why I came to ask for help from you. of."

Although the dark elves are far inferior to the elves in terms of numbers and professionals, and now they have lost four masters, they are proficient in assassination. A few people can often disturb an elf village, and a master It can make several Elf Masters dare not relax.

Christine felt that there was little hope, but she was still ready to listen to the other party's thoughts, so she asked: "Lord Calvin, how does the Viscount of Cantabria want me to support you, and what arrangements are there for resisting the devil?"

"My lord, my father is ready to abandon other lands and defend the city of Astillero. There are complete city defenses and mage towers there, which you have seen with your own eyes."

Kristen nodded in approval.

Honorable Lord Calvin continued: "My father hopes that you can send two thousand reinforcements. There are currently two thousand soldiers in the territory, all of whom are well-equipped veterans who have fought against demons, as well as one thousand reinforcements from the elves. In addition, there are two thousand soldiers in the territory. The master class and two thousand soldiers who are about to come for reinforcements should be able to hold it."

"A few questions."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Where did the people retreat to?"

"The other two half-elf viscounties will bring merchant ships and supplies when they come to help. They will transport some refugees when they return. The rest will just live in the city. It is summer now."

"How to solve the food problem?"

"We are already organizing a retreat, and we have enough time to take away all the food. In addition, Elf Island will provide some food, which is enough to survive the winter."

After listening to Lord Calvin's words, Christine felt that Viscount Cantabria's plan was indeed quite feasible.

The demon army landed on the east coast of the Kingdom of Iberia, and by the time it reached the Territory of Cantabria, it had already reached the west coast. With such a long attack route, to ensure that it is not surrounded by human troops along the way, it is necessary to leave enough rearguard behind. troops. In addition, a certain big devil slapped his head and led the team to "attack" in other directions. In fact, the number of troops in the final siege was not too many.

According to Honorable Lord Calvin, the number of soldiers that have been identified exceeds 5,000. Whether they are half-elf soldiers or elven soldiers, their equipment is no less than that of an elite human army. They can rely on city defense to withstand 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers. Imps are no problem.

However, the difference in high-end force is too great.

There are only five people at the master level supported by the elves, and there are only about twenty high-level professionals at the most, which cannot be compared with the demons. The attack distance of the mage tower is only one thousand meters. If the demon does not enter this range after breaking through the city, the defenders in other places will be helpless.

In Christian's opinion, the Viscount of Cantabria wanted to express an attitude to the devil: I'm not easy to mess with. If you capture the city of Astillero, you will suffer huge losses, so it's better to attack elsewhere. Bar.

But this method of placing treasure on the demon commander is not reliable at all. They themselves cannot predict what the demons can do. But then again, what else can we do if we don’t do this? That was a demon that required all countries in the continent to unite to resist. How could a small viscounty be able to fight it alone?

"Lord Calvin, you have seen my soldiers. Not to mention that they are all elites who have fought in hundreds of battles. Their equipment alone costs close to fifty gold coins. The Viscount of Cantabria wants me to send two thousand reinforcements. What can he pay for it? ?”

Honorable Lord Calvin had an expression of disbelief on his face and said in a voice: "Your Majesty, are all your soldiers equipped with such equipment?"

"Yes."

"The great elf goddess is above."

Honorable Lord Calvin was greatly shocked. Although the half-elf leader had the support of elves and reached the level of the kingdom's main army, the equipment of each soldier only amounted to more than ten gold coins. Only the equipment of the elf soldiers exceeded fifty gold coins. .

He did see the equipment of Christian's soldiers, but he thought that this was the city of Dominaria and it was normal for the defenders to have better equipment. He did not expect that the soldiers of the entire Stewart Territory were like this. No wonder the damage to his territory was so small. It would be fine for him to fight with such elite soldiers.

The Stewart Territory and the Cantabrian Territory have no affiliation, so there is no difference between rescue and mercenary services between nobles. You pay and I send troops to help you fight. The spoils of war belong to me, and the land I conquer belongs to you.

The equipment of the two thousand-man army alone was worth 100,000 gold coins. Even if Christine agreed to the rescue, the Cantabrian leader would have to pay a deposit of at least 150,000 gold coins.

The devil sieges the city. It's okay if you win, but if you lose, the Cantabrian territory will be gone. If you don't pay in advance, who will you ask for money?
