Chapter 457: The Border City Alliance’s Underpinnings

Chapter 451 – Border City Alliance’s Underpinnings

The results of the meeting were sent to Maya on the same day, to which she was speechless, not to mention Howard.

What’s the difference between this and seeing a robber not only cooperating, but also preparing to have a cheering dance.

“Speed up a bit, I’m afraid that if there’s any more delay, they’ll change their name to the Northern Glory Second Alliance.” Maya said quietly to Howard.

Howard, who had been planning to take the opportunity to practice, had to nod his head as he saw that the practice was about to turn into a parade.

The first batch of 20,000 reserve regiments accelerated their speed and rushed to the border of the Northern Noble Alliance and started digging trenches to build camps, the second batch of 30,000 reserve regiments took over the work of building roads and transit stations, and the 50,000 field regiments with heavy equipment also started to depart.

This is a real 100,000 troops, if not Maya secretly let people pass the message over, the Northland Noble Alliance Parliament was afraid that day to pass the proposal to change the name.

But they know how to do it now, wave after wave of emissaries don’t want to die and send them to the two ends of one south and one north.

The barbarian kingdoms in the far north were too remote, and even if they planned to send troops, it was estimated that they would only go to attack the northern city rather than come to the rescue.

The barbarians are not stupid, who would choose to fight hard if they can pick up the advantage.

And for the so-called north of the first city of the north, they have long been greedy, only fear of the north of the city’s excellent soldiers and horses and perfect defense system do not dare to act rashly just.

Now 100,000 troops to the south, the internal emptiness, not to take advantage of the fire simply sorry for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, I do not know that the territory has been prepared for this, so this time the army south is ready to plan for the object is the North Pass Border City Alliance.

To make the territory spend so much effort, it can be seen that the North Pass Border City Alliance is extraordinary.

In fact, the military strength of the North Pass Border City Alliance, which inherited the huge legacy of the Imperial Border Army, really can’t be calculated in accordance with the norm, at least a bunch of ragtag families composed of the Northland Noble Alliance don’t even have the qualification to look up to.

After all, don’t look at the empire border army is corrupt, with hundreds of years of accumulation, and the support of the empire, not only has a huge scale of ordnance manufacturing system, but also mastered a large number of craftsmen, alchemists and mages, and has the ability to open a number of gold devouring beasts of general research.

For example, the deputy director of the territory’s scientific research center, Brian, was the person in charge of a certain experiment of the Imperial Border Army back then, so it can be seen how the bottom line is.

Although the empire had collapsed and the border army had long since ceased to exist, the North Pass Border City Alliance, which had inherited most of the legacy, was still not to be underestimated.

In fact, if it wasn’t for the deterrence of the Northern Honor Union, the North Pass Border City Alliance would have swallowed the Northland Noble Alliance long ago, so as soon as they received the request for help from the Northland Noble Alliance, they were immediately moved.

Of course, they didn’t intend to help, but rather, they intended to take advantage of the fire and split the Northlands Noble Alliance, perhaps adding the Northern Honor Alliance if possible. To be able to think like this, the Northern Pass Border City Alliance naturally had the backbone.

Don’t look at the population of the Northern Pass Border City Alliance is only five to six million, with the Northern Glory Alliance and the Northland Noble Alliance together about the same, but it has 200,000 standing troops, plus a mature reserve system, when necessary, it can set up more than 500,000 reserve armies, in terms of troop strength than the Northern Glory Alliance and the Northland Noble Alliance’s combined total is more than the number of troops, therefore, once a decision is made to go to war, it is directly mobilized 120,000 main regiments and 100,000 reserve regiments, a huge number of people, and the number of people who can be mobilized to go to war. Once the decision to go to war was made, 120,000 main regiments and 100,000 reserve regiments were mobilized, and they began to march northward in great numbers.

This army is different from the Northland Noble Alliance’s army which is just like a number, because of militarism, the regular army of the North Pass Border City Alliance are all professional soldiers, that is, elites who do not engage in production and specialize in fighting.

Taller and more athletic teenagers are usually selected, and training starts at the age of fifteen, and only at the age of twenty can they become a professional soldier.

Although limited by resources and other conditions, it is not possible to carry out high-intensity training every day, but in the long years of training, each soldier has a strong physique, skillful fighting techniques and tenacious fighting spirit, with good weapons and equipment, each one is a rare elite soldiers, which is the bottom line of the North Pass Border City Alliance.

If this was all there was to it, the territory wouldn’t have taken it so seriously.

The main reason is that the North Pass Border City Alliance is very keen on war, especially new weapons, plus they have a huge number of craftsmen, alchemists and mages, in a very short period of time they have completed the imitation of guns, and after years of development, they have been able to mass produce some of the simpler structure of guns, such as rear-mounted single-shot rifles and rear-mounted bronze artillery.

However, according to the intelligence, the other side has been trying to equip the army with steam tanks, this point needs more attention.

This is just one of the points, as the successor of the Imperial Border Army, the North Pass Border City Alliance also has a large scale of Knights, Mages, Assassins, and other professional corps, so when it comes to a real fight, it can’t just be described by the number of troops.

It is because of this, knowing the depth of the North Pass Border City Alliance, the territory decided to take this opportunity to use the Northland Noble Alliance as a bait, so that the North Pass Border City Alliance’s army to leave the sturdy to the people’s ridicule of the Empire’s border defenses, in a relatively fair environment to have a duel, as for the battlefield of the Northland Noble Alliance whether or not they are willing to, in fact, it does not matter.

This plan of the territory was actually a yang plot, because Maya had long known that the vote of confidence from the Northland Noble Alliance Council could not be given only to her, and it was estimated that the North Pass Border City Alliance side had not received much either.

Only so what, as long as the Northern Pass Border City Alliance didn’t want to see the Northern Glory Alliance annexing the Northland Noble Alliance they could only send out their troops, not to mention that their ambitions weren’t small, and small ambitions wouldn’t be able to maintain such a sizeable army, they really thought that they didn’t need money to raise troops.

Twenty thousand border iron cavalry took the lead and set out from the imperial border, all the way to the north, great momentum.

Although this time the north has been over to the gun era, but the north is vast and flat, cavalry is still an indispensable soldier, especially in the reconnaissance, sneak attack, etc., has a great advantage, it can be said that the side of the cavalry prevail, the other side of the army will become blind and deaf, the more fatal is the blow to the logistics, once the logistical routes have been cut off, the whole army is not far from the collapse, so the north customs The Border City Alliance has sent out 120,000 troops, 20,000 of which are the elite Border Iron Cavalry.

Faced with the border iron cavalry across the border, the territory’s rangers are not willing to show weakness, the two sides in the north of the noble alliance around the cavalry battle, each other have won and lost, but the territory’s rangers lost very few times, but the departure of the spirited border iron cavalry suffered a lot, at least 3,000 iron cavalry killed in action, wounded more than 1,000, the battle loss of close to a quarter.

Such heavy losses make the border iron horsemen dare not easily start the war again, otherwise it will completely lose the strength to check the other side of the cavalry, so no longer away from the infantry, relying on the fire support of the infantry to maintain the status quo, this is responsible for this northern expedition of the generals of the Cross is very dissatisfied, but he did not directly attack, but intends to understand the situation, after all, this time to face the opponent is not ordinary.
