Chapter 635: 637 The epoch-making war
Chapter 635 Chapter 637. An epoch-making war
The war unfolded in an unexpected yet logical manner.
Whether it is the Northern Alliance or Nilfgaard, they all realized at the same moment that they must fight now and cannot delay it any longer.
War is the highest test of a countrys ability to endure.
As the war progresses, a large number of normal activities in the country must be compromised for the purpose of "war".
Peoples livelihood, commerce, and handicrafts all have to work towards the same goal.
This will lead to a general decline in living standards and a decrease in the convenience of life.
People dont care how important the distant war is. As long as their lives feel worse than before, of course they will complain.
Complaints generate resentment and resistance, which will continue to grow as the war progresses, thus affecting the normal activities of the country.
Although Nilfgaard is a theocratic country based on slavery, the emperor, as the political leader and religious leader, still does not mean the same thing.
The great nobles under him have tentacles of interest spread across all walks of life. Foreign wars not only oppress ordinary people, but also cut flesh from the bodies of those great nobles and businessmen.
Its just that in the past, the expansion of the empire could always bring victory and doubled profits before the big nobles and big businessmen could bear it anymore, so everyone was happy to see the results.
But this battle, this carefully planned battle that prepared the empire to truly intervene in the northern territory, has actually been delayed for too long.
Menno Kuhorn led the army to start operations in early autumn, and spring was almost here.
Before setting off, this far-sighted marshal once warned his subordinates: Give peace to the village and war to the castle.
The starting point is good, whether it is out of pity for the civilians or to dispel the resistance of the people of Sintra. At least he didn't want to attack civilians.
But as the war situation became tense, good teachings were quickly forgotten.
How long can kindness and restraint last when you break into someone's home with a knife and find that you can do whatever you want to the family?
Nilfgaard's lower-level officers and soldiers soon began to relax their "bottom line." Then, the big businessmen and nobles in Nilfgaard who were eager to regain their blood got in touch with the lower-level officers and soldiers, and started a business of selling stolen goods and receiving kickbacks.
This business has even grown so big that it has even opened a military camp market.
It's great to have business, but the people of Sintra have also become the birthplace of guerrillas.
Oppression and cruelty certainly bring about the fire of resistance.
As a result, the situation became increasingly tense, and the supply of frontline troops became more and more difficult because of the numerous guerrillas. And the more this happens, the more the big nobles and big businessmen in Nilfgaard who are eager to get their blood back don't want to wait.
A vicious cycle has begun.
The Northern Alliance is not optimistic either. After all, the loose national organization in the north is far inferior to that of Nilfgaard.
The herald looked at this scene with a surprised expression.
After Menno Kuhorn assigned a warlock to each high-ranking commander, his keen war intuition and outstanding war talent immediately made him realize that what a large number of warlocks could do was by no means what he had thought before. So simple.
No matter how bad a warlock is, not only can he send messages across a long distance, he can at least have the ability to receive messages from other warlocks.
Just this one item immediately increased the order delivery efficiency of the Nilfgaardian army by more than one level!
It has reached a point where it is not a surprise, but a level of horror!
In the current marshal's command post, Menno Kuhorn has never felt that he has such control over the direction of the war!
Information from the middle level of the legion can be gathered quickly, and his orders can be conveyed in a very short time!
It was as if he had seen every front line of this war covering dozens of kilometers in radius with his own eyes!
The topographic map in the command post was originally used for writing and drawing to visualize enemy and enemy intelligence. In previous battles, even if the scale was not large, it would take several hours to replace this map.
Because the command post's ability to receive information about changes in the battle situation is not that fast, very few changes are drawn on this picture.
But today, the frequency of changing this picture is close to one every 20 minutes!
Menno Kuhorn issued a large number of orders with unprecedented efficiency, making his entire army like a coordinated spider strangled towards the Northern Allied Forces.
The cost of all this is that even sorceresses of Fringilla's level are pale, and the lower level sorcerers are probably about to vomit blood.
But what the hell? In Nilfgaard, warlocks are essentially craftsmen.
It was just a craftsman who was exhausted during the war. Is this a problem in a slave country?
The herald helped the emperor's distant relative sit down, then turned his head and looked at the marshal with reverence, who was still thinking about the situation of the battle.
"You have opened a new chapter in the war, Marshal! After this battle, the Imperial Military Academy should even open a new subject in your name! The form of the war will be divided from today into two pages! This is epoch-making feat!"
The heralds enthusiastic admiration did not make Menno Kuhoun feel relaxed. On the contrary, his brows were still furrowed.
There is something wrong.
An inexplicable anxiety spread in his heart. Even though under his command, the legion was winning one victory after another, he could not suppress this anxiety.
My gut still worries about something. That witcher?
Am I worried about [Hunter Lord]?
But what else can he do now? On a battlefield with a radius of dozens of kilometers, the power of an individual is ridiculous.
Behead the commander? Not to mention that every senior commander is now paired with a warlock next to him.
Just ask him how to find it? There aren't even a few messengers left now. Can he still follow the magic communication and find the command post?
