Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology
Chapter 391: Both sides deployed their troops and began to attack the city. Hunger left the enemy no
The church's armed forces came down the mountain in a long line, with a clear goal: to walk through the long ten-mile post road to reach the city of Ankola. However, during this difficult march, soldiers continued to fall down due to hunger.
The large army had no choice but to let them lie down for the time being and promised to rescue them later when they had food. Because time was pressing at the moment, they dared not delay at all. If there was no food overnight, more people would fall.
After this round, those who were able to stick with the main group were the elite soldiers who not only had excellent physical fitness, but also had first-class willpower.
Especially those who practice the power of faith and practice asceticism on a daily basis can still fight in such difficult circumstances.
Senior Sendi in the sky narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled: "It would be safer to rest in the mountains for a night. Marching so quickly, I'm afraid you want to attack the city!" His words revealed his speculation about the purpose of the church's armed action.
On the other hand, Prince Chu Qi climbed up the city wall with a solemn look. According to the intelligence obtained, the church armed forces were heading straight for this big city. Fortunately, due to the hard work of the magicians, some hidden dangers in and around the city were eliminated.
The royal guards and knights orderly controlled the original army to defend the city and firmly controlled the situation in the city. At this moment, bags of gold coins were transported to the city wall and directly handed to the soldiers.
In addition, the prince promised at the meeting a few days ago that as long as the soldiers swore to leave the church, they could live. They had already insulted the Lord, so they had already betrayed the church and gained a precious chance to survive.
At this time, the prince gave all the soldiers a reward of fifty gold coins each to boost their morale. The prince shouted loudly: "As long as you fight bravely, there will be rewards when you come back! Be loyal to my king and save the people from suffering..."
All the soldiers have pledged allegiance to the current king and have sworn an oath. Given the current customs, most of the soldiers can be trusted completely. The oath is no joke and most of them can fulfill their promises.
In fact, with the current sluggish trade, high prices and low currency, the actual value of these gold coins has been greatly reduced and is not as valuable as before. But at this moment, giving them to the soldiers is equivalent to one or two years of military pay, a small amount of money for each of them.
In order to live a good life, most soldiers are willing to fight for their lives. Although money is depreciating, at this special moment, the bounty can stabilize the morale of the army.
The prince looked at the fluttering flags on the city wall, and the royal guards gave passionate speeches in their respective sections, mobilizing the troops before the battle. They talked about the glory of defending their homeland, inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and made everyone's blood boil, ready to welcome the upcoming battle.
The fighters chose to betray the church for survival and profit, reflecting that people's values and loyalty will be greatly tested in special circumstances.
Prince Zhuqi was wearing heavy and sturdy steel armor, and he sat firmly at the rear of the battlefield to supervise the battle like an unshakable steel fortress.
He held a huge shield in his left hand and wielded a ferocious mace in his right hand, which was so powerful that it was intimidating. Just by standing there, one could tell at a glance that the prince must be a man of extraordinary strength and martial arts, which greatly boosted the morale of his soldiers.
At the same time, Senior Doomsday Fireball was leading the army of Blaney and others to launch a fierce attack on the Earldom that secretly wanted to be independent. Due to the fierce and tense battle, they were completely unaware of what was happening in the city of Ankola on the other side.
After a hard-fought battle, the security risks in the area were finally eliminated. Some of the territories that originally belonged to the rebels have now been taken over and governed by the newly appointed barons, who are the lowest-ranking nobles in the imperial system.
However, the king generously gave these meritorious families a rare opportunity - allowing them to inherit the administrative authority at the earl level.
But this is not without conditions. To successfully advance to a higher title, one must rely on one's own real strength and achievements. For this reason, the king specifically stipulated that each meritorious family can obtain a viscount position, but whether they can successfully occupy this position and keep it depends entirely on the ability and performance of the personnel sent by each family.
It is conceivable that if a meritorious family dared to send those good-for-nothings who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun to fight, then in the face of such a cruel war, they would inevitably end up with a tragic end of death.
Therefore, in order to stand out in this trial of power struggle, each meritorious family will undoubtedly do their best to send their most elite troops and brave generals to assist in defense, in order to gain a firm foothold in this land full of challenges and opportunities, and gradually expand their sphere of influence.
Therefore, the crisis of Ankola City was passed on to the meritorious families. They had to invest and prepare the family's top talents to come and control the territory. This was exactly what the emperor had planned.
The king does not have enough talents of his own, and certainly does not want to become a waste in this situation. The life and death of people from meritorious families has nothing to do with the royal family. Those who survive are pillars of the country, and they deserve promotion and wealth.
At this moment, the brave and fearless Kashin was riding on the majestic silver wolf, rushing to the front of the team like a flash of lightning, carefully exploring the road conditions.
The church armed members who had fallen on the road were basically executed on the spot without any chance to breathe. The large group of people in the back followed closely behind quietly, and the distance between them and Kashin in front was getting closer and closer.
The number of soldiers responsible for logistics supply has reached as high as 3,000, and about 6,000 strong wolves are responsible for transporting the goods.
Everyone knows that this battle will be a life-and-death battle, so everyone is prepared to give it their all.
In order to save precious rations, the logistics soldiers could only eat dry food to fill their stomachs, but even though the conditions were so difficult, they still gritted their teeth and struggled to drive the wolves forward. This indomitable spirit is truly admirable.
In order to ensure a complete victory in this crucial battle, the supply route of more than 2,000 miles was kept unobstructed. It is not easy to keep such a long supply line uninterrupted.
In fact, in order to achieve this goal, the manpower invested in the transportation work is equivalent to mobilizing tens of thousands of people. It is precisely because of the concerted efforts and hard work of so many people that we have finally achieved such remarkable results today.
Just now, when the whole army had just finished their meal, the packs carried by more than a thousand wargs became empty. Kashin immediately issued an order to let these wargs and the escort personnel return along the way they came, and no longer continue to transport supplies.
At the same time, he also ordered all other brother troops that had originally planned to come to transport supplies to return. Thus, this busy and tense supply operation finally came to a temporary end.
