Afrey didn't leave for Ant in the end. I don't know if this is fate.

Not long after Huo Ling brought her back, the Ant Empire used the excuse that Afrey was always the work of the Alto Kingdom and declared war on the Alto Kingdom.

The war started again for a ridiculous reason. For the superiors, the prerequisite for launching a war is often interests.

As for Afrey, it was just one of the excuses.

Since the declaration of war by the Ant Empire, the war has entered the countdown. Is the Alto Kingdom ready?

For such a powerful Ant Empire, no matter how much preparation the Alto Kingdom makes, it is not enough, but it is much better to be prepared than not to be prepared.

One by one, messengers and court mages were conveying messages. They were notifying the nobles in the country to bring their family soldiers and approach the assembly point on the border.

The entire plane, from the Ant Empire to the Alto Kingdom, has become lively at this time, and the roads are full of soldiers from various families marching.

The ferocious soldiers were recruiting serfs as cannon fodder and auxiliary soldiers. The war required not only elite soldiers, but also more ordinary people.

There were not many dimensional stones in the Terri plane, so there were also few space equipment. The work of transporting food and supplies could only be handed over to the auxiliary soldiers composed of serfs.

It took more than a month since the Ante Empire declared war for the armies of both sides to really gather.

The Ante Empire dispatched a whole army, of which more than 30,000 elite soldiers of the Black Iron rank were elite private soldiers of various noble families.

In addition to these elites, there were more than 120,000 ordinary soldiers, all of whom were apprentices or even ordinary people, wearing thin and simple leather armor or armed clothing.

The weapons of these ordinary soldiers were also simple spears and shields. Not many nobles would be willing to invest too much in these ordinary soldiers.

Augustine looked at the intelligence collected by the intelligence personnel and laughed up to the sky.

Does the Ant Empire have many troops? Yes, but they are prepared according to the strength of the Alto Kingdom before.

In total, the number of elite soldiers is three times that of the Alto Kingdom. With such a comparison of troops, as long as the commander is not a fool, the Alto Kingdom will definitely be difficult to resist.

In the past, when facing the army of the Ant Empire, the Alto Kingdom could only defend the city and rely on the city's defense to resist the army.

However, in every war, several large cities will be lost. The Ant Empire is like slowly bleeding its prey.

But this time is different. This time, the Alto Kingdom has a powerful weapon such as the Demon Army, and its strength is no longer the same as before.

In the military tent of the Alto Kingdom, dozens of domestic nobles gathered here. They all led their family's private soldiers to participate in the war.

Among them, some nobles brought thousands of elites, and some may only have dozens. Their military strength is proportional to the area of ​​the fiefdom.

Augustine sat on the throne, he closed his eyes and calculated the number of soldiers gathered now. The total number of elite soldiers of the Black Iron Rank from all the families has reached about 13,000.

This number has increased a lot compared to before, because some nobles who had disloyalty before often did not bring too many soldiers to participate in the war, or simply did not come.

After being purged by Huo Ling, the high-level nobles died, and the elite private soldiers below did not suffer any losses. Now they are all Augustine's.

In addition to the elite private soldiers, there are more than 50,000 ordinary soldiers. Of course, these ordinary soldiers are no different from the ordinary soldiers of the Ante Empire in terms of combat effectiveness. They are all cannon fodder serfs.

The nobles in the military tents quarreled and were even a little pessimistic.

Augustine sat high on the throne, looking at the expressions of the nobles below, as if he was looking at an oil painting.

Suddenly, he said to the attendants around him: "Go, call a team of painters to record this scene!"

Augustine's sudden words surprised several nobles who had been paying attention to him. They didn't understand why their majesty would do such a thing at such a critical moment.

The team of painters quickly entered the big tent, found a position under the throne, and quickly began to paint.

"Your Majesty... Should we discuss how to meet the enemy?" An old duke asked bravely.

As soon as this was said, the voices of other nobles in the military tent also lowered, and they slowly looked at their king.

"My lords, remember this war... This will be the first step in the revival of our Kingdom of Alto!" Augustine's tiger eyesIt swept across the faces of all the nobles below.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" A noble was a little confused.

"Let the whole army enter the city of Blue, we will wait for the army of the Ante Empire here!" Augustine ignored the puzzled expressions of the nobles and gave orders.

A marquis frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the city defense of Blue City is not very perfect, I am afraid it is not suitable for us to defend and meet the enemy."

"Don't worry, I have my own decision!"

Augustine's tone was as decisive as a decisive, which dispelled the doubts of many nobles, because he also commanded in this way in the previous war.

The noble coalition army quickly set out and headed towards Blue City.

These nobles did not know that Augustine still had the secret power of the Demon Army in his hands.

In the middle of the night, Augustine came to the camp of the Demon Army, which was in a valley, and the surrounding mountains well concealed the traces of the Demon Army.

In the military camp, these elite soldiers were standing in neat rows like steel statues.

Every hundred people formed a small square, and each small square was combined with each other to form a larger square.

In the dark night, these soldiers were silent.

Augustine asked Huo Ling standing on the command platform: "Lord Huo Ling, how many demon soldiers are there now?"

Huo Ling lowered his head and looked at Augustine below. He said: "Your Majesty, the qualified demon soldiers have reached about 29,000, and they can participate in the battle at any time!"

After hearing this number, Augustine couldn't help but take a deep breath and said: "Very good! Very good! Let them go!"

"Follow your will!" Huo Ling's projection was summoned by Augustine, so naturally he had to listen to his orders.

Under Huo Ling's mental command, these demon soldiers quickly packed up their equipment and began to move towards the preset battlefield with the help of the long night.
