Chapter 192 Antoria’s Military Forces Enter a State of Combat Readiness

The sale of war bonds was surprisingly smooth.

Needless to say, the small-amount bonds for the common people of Antolia were snapped up by the common people of Antolia as soon as they were put on sale.

Even the large-denomination war bonds specially prepared for nobles were sold smoothly.

Firstly, it is because Leon himself is the lord of many southern nobles, and this face must be given after all. Secondly, it is because the southern nobles have enough confidence in Antolia's ability to repay debts.

After all, the gold mine in Chenmulin is there.

Even the gold diggers have made a lot of money in this process. As the actual controller of the Shenmulin gold mine, there is no doubt about the Jimena family's ability to repay debts.

No matter how bad things go, you should be able to get back the principal you invested, right?

“When will the road to the Principality of Norton be opened?!”

Leon couldn't remember how many times he had asked this question in the past few days.

Nowadays, Antolia not only has abundant food and funds, but also Antolia's army has been assembled.

As soon as the road is opened, we can head west from the southwest highlands, from top to bottom, towards the south of the Principality of Norton, and launch a blitzkrieg that will surprise everyone!

However……

The most critical point in realizing this plan, the road to the Principality of Norton, has been difficult to open.

This is not because the Lapluk Army, which is familiar with the mountain and forest terrain, cannot pass through the blocking mountain forest. The main problem actually lies in the subsequent transportation of supplies.

The war is fought not only for the army, but also for money and food.

Even though Antoria's army is extremely brave, if it lacks logistical supplies, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

If it were another noble army, they would just plunder the logistical supplies on the spot.

But at this moment, at least in Leon's mind, he had already regarded the land in the south of the Principality of Norton as the possession of the Jimena family.

Since the land will soon be in my hands, I naturally have to find a way to make it perfect.

"Let the elk and geese go."

At the latest military intelligence meeting, Leon finally made a decision.

Since it is difficult to open up a stable food route in the shortest time with Antolia's manpower alone, other means can only be used.

And elk and geese, such strange creatures known as "forest destroyers", naturally became the choice on the table.

With an iron head and poor eyesight, it is easy to knock down trees blocking the road.

"Your Majesty the Marquis..."

After hesitating for a moment, Aaron finally spoke up and said: "Those elk and geese that were raised outside the Thorn Territory City were raised with great difficulty. Although they can be caught again later, certain losses will inevitably occur... …”

"Let it go!",

Leon shook his head and said without hesitation: "Let people use the bones of plateau hounds to drive them away. The situation in the Principality of Norton can no longer tolerate our further delay."

You know, Leon has never been a radical lord.

But as Leon said, the situation in the Principality of Norton has continued to deteriorate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Nowadays, the southern part of the Principality of Norton has almost become a private place for the remnants of the restoration of the country. Although its military strength is not as strong as the Kingdom of Walras, its purpose is more insidious.

After all, the pagans in the Kingdom of Walras still want people and land, but those remnants of the restoration of the country who have suffered a thousand cuts... If they can collect enough "bait" in the south of the Principality of Norton, then the Antolians will send troops to the Principality of Norton. What's the point?

No matter how fertile the land is, no matter how important the location is, it still needs the support of the population!

"According to reports coming from the west of the kingdom, the western nobles of the Kingdom of Andal have assembled an army of tens of thousands and have begun to advance towards the Principality of Norton!"

"And the Kingdom of Idrit has already had an encounter with the cavalry of the Kingdom of Walras, and the battle was extremely tragic."

"Time waits for no one! Everyone!"

Leon's eyes swept across the generals present, and he couldn't help but feel an indescribable confidence in his heart.

Yes, in terms of the number of troops alone, Antolia is indeed difficult to compare with other armies.

But if the quality of the army is taken into consideration, then the Antolian soldiers under Leon will never be afraid of any opponent!

Otherwise, he would not have decided to march westward in this chaotic situation!

"In that case, then follow the orders of the Marquis."

Seeing that his lord had already made a decision, Aaron naturally would not stand by to make trouble. On the contrary, he immediately made a guarantee to Leon:

"I will let Bello personally lead people to keep an eye on it. In a week, even if we cannot build a concrete mountain road leading to the Principality of Norton, we can at least build a flat enough dirt road. It will definitely not delay the Marquis's battle plan! "

Hearing Aaron's assurance, Leon couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

And as his eyes swept over the many generals sitting around, everyone present also realized that his Lord Marquis was about to start ordering generals!

Thinking of this, Juan, who was the commander of the Antolian Militia, even couldn't help but straighten his back, for fear that Leon would ignore him again.

In the recent rounds of errands, such as opening up abandoned lands and investigating the situation in Norton, it can be said that Antolia's militiamen have not grabbed any of them.

If there is no mission, where can I go to gain military merit? Where to get the reward?

"Stop getting hard from there."

Leon glanced at Juan helplessly and said: "Today, three new garrison corps have been established in Antolia, so... this time, the Antolian militia, Lapruk Corps and All the Antorian mercenaries are going! The elven long archers are also going to follow!"

"As for Antolia's defense..."

Speaking of this, Leon couldn't help but cast his eyes on Todd: "You come to guard the house!"

"Yes! Lord Marquis!"

Compared to several young generals who were eager to take the plunge, Todd was ultimately more calm and more reassuring to Leon.

With him and Aaron working together, he at least doesn't have to worry about the security of the rear.

You know, in addition to a few newly established garrison legions, Antolia's main legion can be said to be in full force this time.

after all……

Although on the surface, the remnants of the restoration of the country entrenched in the southern part of the Principality of Norton do not seem to be strong in terms of military strength, Leon is still 100% vigilant.

Who knows what hidden trump cards those believers who can't even be considered anthropomorphic have, and what impressive tricks they can pull off?

"Pass the order, the three main armies of Antolia will assemble towards the southwestern highlands!"

"In one week, send troops to Norton!"

September will be here in about ten minutes. For the sake of the author’s sick coding, please give me a monthly ticket for the beginning of the month~
