Chapter 701: Battle of Badak Plains

"Master, do you want to report it?" Kyle asked.

Upon hearing this, Weilin shook his head and said, "No need. Even if we report it now, that guy won't receive any serious punishment."

"That guy is a marquis of the kingdom. If we don't give him a good beating this time, he won't learn his lesson."

"Select 5,000 soldiers and assign them to the 31st Crusade Army. Also send someone to closely monitor Feng Lex. If this guy behaves abnormally, let him..." Weilin looked up at the sky and continued, "The sunlight is a bit dazzling and blocks the vision. In this kind of weather, you might accidentally fall to death or get maimed when walking."

"I understand, my Lord."

……

Half a month later, Weilin inspected the 31st Army of the Holy War Army and reluctantly recognized Feng Lex's ability, so he did not let this guy die accidentally.

In early November, Weilin reorganized the Black Rock Army into the 32nd Army and the Thousand Fort Army into the 33rd Army. They used the regular organization name externally, while still using the Black Rock Army and Thousand Fort Army internally.

As time went by, the Kingdom of Geman deployed millions of troops on the border, built fortresses, burned crops, cut down trees, dug traps, relocated the population inland, planted thorny plants on a large scale, and implemented a policy of scorching walls and clearing the fields.

On the eastern border of the former Kingdom of Ansa, now the Rhine Mountain defense line in the west of the Principality of Anasta, there are 200,000 expeditionary forces, 300,000 crusaders, and 500,000 vassal troops, totaling one million troops. Twenty-four large camps are built in an attack form, waiting for the expeditionary command's attack order.

In the middle of the border of Golfito Province in the Stovia Region, there are two camps. One camp is called Danais Camp, with 50,000 troops stationed, and the other camp is Logshan Camp, with 60,000 troops stationed, totaling 110,000 troops under the command of the 15th Army of the Fourth Legion.

A month had passed since the reorganization of the Black Rock Army and the Thousand Fortress Army. Weilin stood on the watchtower and looked into the distance. The border of the German Kingdom had turned into a scorched earth. As far as his eyes could see, there was nothing but yellow earth and fortresses.

"How much supplies did the Logistics Department send this time?" Weilin retracted his gaze and asked.

Kyle, who was standing beside him, answered: "My Lord, the logistics department sent 150,000 tons of basic food supplies, 120,000 barrels of low-strength alcohol, 12 large magic cannons, 30 medium magic cannons, 350 small magic cannons, 600 sets of excellent armor, 1,500 excellent swords..."

After listening to Kyle's report, Weilin smacked his lips. This world is truly a "treasure" world.

"Five days later, distribute low-strength alcoholic beverages to the soldiers of the Danais Camp and the Logshan Camp. Each soldier of the expeditionary army will receive 10 kilograms, each soldier of the crusader army will receive 8 kilograms, and each soldier of the vassal army will receive 5 kilograms."

"Also, let the cooks supply food freely so that the soldiers can have a full meal before the war."

While calculating the amount of supplies, Kyle also recorded his master's orders to ensure that supplies would not be over-consumed.

Five days later, on the night of the full moon, except for the necessary soldiers and officers on duty, everyone else gathered in small teams to enjoy delicious food, taste fine wine, and praise the Goddess of Life from time to time.

The war was imminent. Compared to the expeditionary forces rewarding their soldiers, the millions of troops of the German Kingdom only felt fear and uneasiness.

The example of the destruction of the Ansa Kingdom is right before their eyes, and the nobles of the Geman Kingdom cannot afford to be worried.

As for the ordinary soldiers, under the propaganda of the Beast God Church, the reputation of the alien god army that captured the Ansa Kingdom was second only to the devil. They killed people and drank blood, tortured prisoners of war, raped and looted...

Under the unremitting propaganda of the church pastors, in order to protect the safety of their families, the lower-level soldiers no longer dared to surrender, and only had the belief of fighting to the death in their minds.

The upper echelons of the expeditionary force were well aware of the actions of the Church of the Beast God, but had no intention of clearing their names.

As long as the sword is sharp enough and the means are cruel enough, it is only a matter of time before the German Kingdom is wiped out.

In this regard, the Church of Life expressed its acquiescence. No matter how many pagans died, they were still just pagans after all, and they were not qualified to feel the love of the Goddess of Life.

……

In Badak City in the Northern Sea Region of the Kingdom of Geman, Dobick, the commander of the Eighth Legion of the Western Expedition Army, sat in the main seat, looking at the hundreds of generals below, and said: "The army of the alien god has stopped the three-day training and will launch an attack on our country soon."

"You are all pillars of the German Kingdom. The example of the demise of the Ansa Kingdom is right before our eyes. For the sake of our status, our wealth, and our families, please put aside your conflicts and fight the enemy together."

"Yes, Lord Dobik." More than a hundred generals bowed and saluted, answering in unison.

They all understand the truth: if people fight among themselves, the meat will rot in the pot. If foreign enemies come in, it will be the prelude to the destruction of the country and the extinction of the race.

"All units must remain vigilant at all times to prevent sneak attacks from the enemy, and also be on guard against assassins in the city causing chaos."

"I'll wait to understand."

After boosting morale, Dobik began to make subtle adjustments to the various troops while keeping the general strategic direction unchanged.

The Eighth Legion of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Kingdom of Geman has 150,000 people. Including militia and able-bodied men, the number can reach 400,000. Facing only 100,000 enemy troops, most of whom are Ansa people, he is confident that he can defeat the opponent in a head-on confrontation.

……

On the morning of January 9755, 1 of the Glorious Calendar, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the flag at the top of the camp, it meant that the war against the Kingdom of Geman had officially begun.

On the top of a hundred-meter-high mountain, hundreds of soldiers swung their drumsticks and beat war drums.

The sound spread from the mountain peak to the surroundings, and with the blessing of fighting spirit, it echoed throughout the Danais camp and the Logshan camp.

Led by officers, tens of thousands of soldiers walked out of the camp and lined up on the plain.

On the Badak Plain and the lowlands at the northern end of the Rhine Mountains in the northern Hellenic Sea region of the German Kingdom, an army of 110,000 men were divided into 110 formations on the flat ground.

As the drum beats changed, the army began to advance slowly, approaching the Badak Plain thirty kilometers away.

As the Badak Plain was easy to attack but difficult to defend, Dobic, the commander of the Eighth Legion of the German Kingdom's Western Expedition, assembled an army of 100,000 and mobilized 150,000 militiamen. They lined up on the Badak Plain and slowly advanced forward accompanied by the sound of war drums.

On the command platform, Dobic looked at the rising sun, keeping extremely calm in his heart, and ordered the Knights to patrol the left and right sides of the army. If they found deserters, they would be killed immediately to avoid disturbing the morale of the army.

On the plain, the sun was shining on the earth. In the 15th Army, the soldiers were wearing heavy armor and holding sharp weapons. Their figures looked particularly majestic under the sunlight.
