Chapter 230 Imperial War

For the citizens of the Bajas Empire, today is a special and not special day.

Especially because today is the day when the Bajas Empire and the Re-Estij Kingdom are fighting over the ownership of Yelan Tier.

It's not special because such wars break out every year, so the people are no strangers to it.

That's right, at this time of year, it is the time when the grain is harvested and the labor force of young and middle-aged people is most needed.The Bajas Empire will declare war on the Kingdom for various reasons.

The empire's army is composed of professional soldiers, while the kingdom does not have such an army system.A small number of noble private soldiers, plus a large number of simply trained militias, constitute the kingdom's army.

For such a troop, there is naturally a huge gap between the individual combat effectiveness and the empire, so it must be made up with a number of people several times that of the empire.

In other words, every imperial knight joining the battlefield forced the kingdom to invest three to five adult laborers.

Although it is said that the cost of training a knight is several times that of training a militia, but overall, the deployment of labor during the harvest season has a greater impact on the country.

The empire's war against the kingdom was carried out with the aim of gradually consuming the kingdom's national strength.Although the Kingdom of Ri-Estige is on the decline, it still has its territory and national power after all.

To deal with such a big tree, we must gradually erode it from the root.The wars waged by the Bajas Empire are exactly the plot to consume the foundation of the kingdom.

Every year's war is like this, gather a large army, and retreat when touched.

There is no need for any pursuit or in-depth annihilation. When the peasants of the kingdom take up weapons and come to the front line, the empire has already won a strategic victory.

This year should be the same, most people think so.The current empire is not incapable of completely defeating the kingdom, but considering the cost, there is no need to do so.

However, a small number of people also got other news—for example, this year, the Bajas Empire sent a total of [-] soldiers to the battlefield unusually.Another example is the reason for this battle.

"Yelantyr has been the territory of the Sorcerous Kingdom led by the magic caster His Royal Highness Ainz Ooal Gown throughout history. Now the Bajas Empire has formed a union with the Sorcerous Kingdom. The kingdom should transfer the land it improperly occupied Return it to the Sorcerous Kingdom, otherwise the Empire will assist the Sorcerous Kingdom in its war."

This declaration of war is so strange that it is completely confusing.

What is the Sorcerous Kingdom?Who is Ainz Ooal Gong?What does it have to do with the kingdom?Most people don't know what to ask. Even the well-informed people in the empire have never heard of the name Ainz Ooal Gong.

Therefore, during the period before the start of the war, there were very exaggerated rumors circulating in the imperial capital.But not many people actually care.

As usual, this war will start with passionate declarations and drums, drag on for a while, and end with passionate drums of retreat—most people think so.

The Bajas Empire, the capital of Shuzetar, and the Empire's National Academy of Magic.

Aya picked up a piece of paper and glanced at it leisurely, with a smile on her lips.

"It's over." Aya said lightly.

She was sitting on a leather sofa, leaning back relaxedly, and Lilith was standing behind her, rubbing her shoulders.Next to it was a blonde woman half kneeling, trimming Aya's nails.

"Excuse me, what's the end?" the old man sitting opposite Aya asked in a respectful tone.

"The war is over," Aya said. "It is the victory of the empire. The kingdom's army has lost more than half, while the empire has lost less than three thousand."

That piece of paper was a battle report sent from the Katz Plain battlefield, and it should be the earliest news to enter the empire.

"The total number of the Royal Army should be more than 20..." the old man said to himself.

"24." Lilith added.

24 troops lost more than half, which means at least annihilated more than [-]...

This is no joking statistic, [-] adult males, this is a number enough to shake the foundation of the kingdom.If it wants to wipe out [-] enemies, the empire may have to use all its power and launch a full-scale war to do so.

The old man swallowed a mouthful of spit, he did not doubt this statistic, one hundred thousand is indeed an unbelievable number.The outcome of such a war will inevitably have an immeasurable impact on the future of the empire and the kingdom, but he doesn't care about any of these now.

He only has one question to ask—

"In the plan, it is to start with the strongest magic of that lord's blow. Please allow me to ask you, how many of the more than [-] annihilations are related to this blow."

The old man lowered his head and asked respectfully.

Aya looked at him, her voice unwavering.

"--all."

"All...you mean."

"[The Sacrifice of Dark Fengrong], the sacrificial damage caused [-] deaths, and then the summoned little black goat crushed and killed tens of thousands of people." Aya said.

"Little black goat... I can summon one on the spot, but this room is too small to fit, so forget it."

"My God!" The old man fell to his knees and let out a loud voice.

"With one blow of magic, annihilating more than 10 people, is this the strongest magic of that lord, Ainz-sama!"

He was already excited to the point of madness, so Aya could only ignore him and start drinking tea on her own.

Furuda Paradise, the most powerful magician in the empire, no, the most powerful native human.He is a man who pursues magic to an abnormal degree, and it doesn't matter if he can sell his country for the mystery of magic.

He possessed the ability to see through the ranks of magic users - 'seeing through the eyes of demons'. Ainz took off the ring that prevented prying eyes in front of him, and then he declared his loyalty to Ainz.
