The Ordo court, which was also paying attention to the situation in the Horn Bay, soon received the news that the war was over.
This caused a lot of discussion in Jingyao.
King Rodney XVIII carefully read the intelligence of each battle. The performance of 5,000 Ordo soldiers and 20,000 Horn Bay mercenaries trained under the Alda system on the battlefield of Hestia was really amazing. In particular, the 20,000 Horn Bay mercenaries were able to adjust their formation in time and accurately after the collapse of the right-wing friendly forces, blocking the threat from the flank.
Rodney XVIII believed that the new army trained by his instructor Alda would definitely not be worse than the Horn Bay mercenaries, not to mention that his soldiers and Alda soldiers were all Ordo people with the same blood.
This further strengthened the king's confidence in training a new army. There is no doubt that the battle in the Horn Bay was a powerful punch to those old antiques who opposed his military reforms. The Alda army once again proved their combat effectiveness through actual combat. What reason is there not to imitate a winner?
However, not all the words of praise were directed at the Arda army, or rather the lord Paul Graman to whom this army was loyal.
Many people were quite critical of his involvement in the Horn Bay War, even in the name of the Lion Harbor Civil Society.
"Although he is a saber lord, it is really disgraceful for him to fight with other foreign forces without the consent of the kingdom!"
"Do you still take His Majesty the King seriously?"
"People should be sent to the Northwest Bay to give Graman a lesson."
Those who already had opinions about Paul Graman expressed their dissatisfaction, and some even thought that the most powerful lord in the northwest of the kingdom had degenerated into a traitor like Giles and Veblen.
"But it is the inherent right of the frontier lord to defend his territory and property from infringement!"
"Indeed, it was Collins who violated first, and the power exercised by Graman was completely legal!"
"The kingdom has an obligation to lend a hand to its vassal. Shouldn't we be happy that a lord can get rid of the enemy without bothering the royal family?"
There were also many people who spoke for Paul.
In the end, it was Rodney XVIII who calmed down the debate - Paul Graman's exercise of his sword noble power was legal!
In the king's statement to everyone, Marquis Graman was still loyal to the kingdom. The identity used by his army was the Horn Bay Volunteer Army rather than other official titles. This was evidence. There was also a bigger piece of evidence - Paul Graman escorted the soldiers under Giles who were captured in the Horn Bay War to Jingyao and asked the royal government to deal with them. This also shows that in Paul Graman's eyes, the king is still the supreme arbitrator of Aldo.
In addition to the above, the war in the Horn Bay attracted a lot of attention, and new weapons from the Northwest Bay, such as muskets and cannons, were also displayed to the world. These weapons that could almost eliminate the physical and strength gap between the two sides of the war made many people curious.
This naturally includes Rodney XVIII. These firearms have proved their value time and time again. His Majesty the King has long coveted the firearms of the Northwest Bay.
The relationship between the royal family and Paul Graman should also be taken to the next level.
If the feeling brought to the Aldo court by the Horn Bay War is confidence and expectation as a whole, then Giles of Wuyang City can be called fear.
The powerful Undead Army is Giles's reliance. He once relied on this army to wipe out the disobedients in the south and resisted the royal army's southward expedition.
He would not think about it, was highly obedient, and was not afraid of casualties. How proud he was to be able to control such an army.
In the past, due to the restrictions on the drugs provided by the Secret Society, the size of the Undead Army could only be maintained at 6,000 people. Now Giles has spent a lot of money to secretly recruit some spellcasters. After hard research, he finally discovered some elements of the drugs provided by the Secret Society and created alternative drugs. Although the effect is a little worse than the original drugs, it is enough to satisfy Giles.
So the size of the Undead Army exceeded 6,000 people. With the supply of a large number of generic drugs, the size of this powerful army has finally reached 10,000 people.
However, what happened in the Horn Bay War shattered the pride in the heart of the Greedy Wolf.
Although the night attack on Lion Harbor failed at the beginning, Giles only thought it was because the enemy was outnumbered and the Collins outside the city did not cooperate in time.
However, after Lion Harbor officially joined the war, the undead army he relied on was vulnerable to the muskets and artillery of the Arda army. Payton knew in advance that the penetration of Arda's firearms was very strong, so he put on thick armor for the soldiers, but after the battle, he found that it was useless. The armor could not stop the flying projectiles at all.
In the face of such terrible firepower, the undead soldiers cultivated with expensive drugs, like those auxiliary cannon fodder soldiers, were shot and killed one by one by the firearms of the Arda army. Even Giles's favorite general Payton died in front of the firearms of the Arda army.
After receiving the news of his army's defeat, it seemed that overnight, Giles's previous high spirits disappeared, replaced by deep worries.
What made him even more uneasy was that the Aldo court was hiring officers from the Arda army to train its own army. Perhaps he was far away from the Northwest Bay, but he was very close to the royal territory. Rodney XVIII's intention of such a large-scale training was probably not only for the orcs, but also for him, Giles.
We must take action immediately and cannot sit still and wait for death.
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
Giles thought again about the Arcanum.
The ripples caused by the Horn War in the outside world did not affect Paul Gleiman.
Before officially dispatching the army, the Intelligence Department led by Cecil had already investigated the general situation of the Horn Bay.
Human geography, customs and diets, as well as various knowledge about animals and plants were compiled into books and distributed to officers and soldiers for reading and reference, just like the time when they fought against the invasion of orcs.
In order to prevent possible wars, Lion Port has stockpiled combat-related materials in advance, such as food, gunpowder, ammunition, military uniforms and boots, etc., and allocated a large number of manpower to maintain various transportation lines. These tedious preparations in advance ensured that The subsequent battle proceeds smoothly.
Paul had absolute confidence in his well-prepared army. When he received the news of his victory, he was naturally very happy, but he did not have any violent mood swings.
After instructing the relevant departments to properly handle the military's pensions and rewards, he devoted himself to preparing for his wedding to Catherine.
Alda is finally getting her mistress.
