Just as Nokvis said, the relationship between the cities in the south of the continent and the Korance Church was generally not good. Everyone felt that the Korance Church was indeed a relatively terrifying rule. The sense of belonging wasn't that strong, and there weren't that many loyal believers. So Nokvis's work was relatively smooth.
Of course, there were also people who were loyal to the Korance Church. But because their numbers were relatively small, they were directly dealt with. Anyway, many of them hadn't seen Byakee with their own eyes. They had only heard of its name, but they had seen Nokvis's' miracle 'with their own eyes. In this case, of course, they would believe what they saw with their own eyes.
Thus, the city of Guasolil was quickly settled. A large number of Sechtor monsters in the city turned their heads and believed in Love Live. In this atmosphere, the humans were very excited. Basically, they would do whatever the leader said. Of course, as planned, Nokvis led them to fight against the rule of the church.
As a result, a Sectorian army was formed in an instant. Of course, the numbers of this army were quite shocking, but it was a pity that their quality was a little unbearable.
First of all, the main force of the army was the army under Lord Godimore. The number was … about 2,000 people. In fact, there were so many people because there were more monsters around Guassoril. That was why there were so many soldiers. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many.
You have to know that the Dark Continent, Cleveson, was a unified continent. Usually, there were almost no foreign enemies. Basically, people raised troops to control civilian riots, civil wars, and to clean up monsters. Civilian riots were not common. Civil wars could be fought if the scale was small, but if the scale was too large, the church would intervene. So an army of 2,000 people was actually quite large. Only the truly strong and powerful troops were under the church's name.
This time, Li Huailin had brought along 30,000 soldiers (Li Huailin's direct subordinates) to the south. That was why Godmore chose to recruit militia when he saw Li Huailin's army. The difference in numbers between the two sides was too huge, so he panicked.
The 2,000 people were a relatively regular army. They usually went through military training and organized to eliminate monsters. They could be considered a fighting force. But the rest of the people were the believers of Lovelive, or rather, the civilians.
Of course, one could imagine the fighting strength of commoners. Although the Sectorians had excellent physiques, and almost every one of them was good material for soldiers, it was a pity that no matter how good their physiques were, they couldn't be used without training. However, in terms of numbers, there were a lot of them. Excluding the old, weak, women, and children, there were about 20,000 who could participate in the battle.
Looking at the troops that he had assembled, Nokves was quite happy. Although he had been fighting for a long time, this was the first time he had gathered such a large army. Standing on the high platform and watching so many people shout his name, Nokvis felt very good. However, Li Huailin also poured a bucket of cold water on his enthusiasm.
First of all, having troops was a good thing, but what about the logistics? The first logistical problem was food. Of course, these people's families still had some food. They were willing to contribute for the sake of the gods, but it was only a little. Besides, they had to keep some for themselves. Otherwise, what would their families eat?
City Lord Godimore did have some surplus food, but it was prepared for the army of 2000 people. Now that the number of troops had increased by more than ten times, where would he find so much food? It was impossible. Therefore, the first problem they had to face was the problem of food.
Then there was the problem of weapons. For some reason, the Sectorians didn't like to wear armor. Even the regular army didn't wear armor. Most of them were bare-chested, probably because their bodies were stronger. Anyway, wearing armor only added a little bit of defense. They didn't have the resources to do so.
They could ignore the armor, but they couldn't ignore the weapons. The Sectorians still needed weapons. Otherwise, how could they fight with their bare hands? These civilians definitely did not have any weapons. Of course, if you want to talk about forks and rakes, just pretend I didn't say anything. City Lord Godimore's situation was the same. Of course, his regular soldiers had weapons, but they weren't enough for 20,000 people. On the other hand, although Li Huailin's human army had sufficient logistical support, it was all for humans. The Sectorians were several times bigger than humans, so the human spears and broadswords were useless in the hands of the Sectorians. Therefore, most of the people in this seemingly powerful army could only use their own weapons. Basically, more than half of them were using wooden sticks. As for their combat power … they could only look at it.
The many problems gave Nokvis a headache. Nokvis understood politics very well, but when it came to military matters … those who hadn't led troops before would have no experience. That was why he had to ask the first and only general under his command, the former Lord of the city, Godimore, about these matters. Although City Lord Godimore had led an army before, he had only led an army of 2,000 people. Now that he was facing an army of 20,000 people, the difference was too big.
Therefore, at this time, Nokvis could only ask Li Huailin. Li Huailin had told him before that he now had an army of 300,000 people. This guy would definitely know. Now, Nokvis was still in awe of Li Huailin. After all, he didn't know how he did it before. Although he knew that Li Huailin wouldn't kill him now, he still acted very respectfully.
"What a mess …" The one who spoke was the Jade Summoner Emperor. She didn't know much about leading troops, nor was she interested in it. However, even if she hadn't seen a pig run, she would still eat pork. Seeing the situation in front of her, the Jade Summoner Emperor knew that the situation wasn't good. The Sectorians looked powerful, but there were a lot of hidden dangers.
"I thought of it a long time ago," said Li Huailin.
"Do you have a way to deal with it?" asked the Jade Summoner Emperor.
"It's not that I have a way. The Hua Xia civilization has a long history. Didn't our ancestors already have a way to deal with it?" said Li Huailin as he spread his hands.
"Oh? You mean to use history as a reference? " The Jade Emperor nodded. "That's right. The situation now seems to be a little similar to the beginning of the country. Are you preparing to imitate the founding emperor of my dynasty and use the countryside to surround the city and establish a base behind the enemy lines?"
"The situation is different. Don't talk nonsense, okay?" Li Huailin spread his hands. "Our country has a long history. There are many other references. Alright, first, we have to set a slogan and send it to the surrounding cities. First, we have to mobilize the entire South. "
"You still want to mobilize the troops in this situation?" asked the Jade Summoner Emperor. "Isn't the logistics not enough?"
"The logistics here are not enough, but if the entire South is mobilized, there will still be logistics." Li Huailin said, "I just asked the Castellan. There are a few cities in the West that are famous for forging. As long as we take them down, we will have enough weapons and equipment. There are also many granaries in the South. Of course, they are prepared by the Church. If we take them down, we will have enough food reserves. In short, we need to take down the entire South in a short period of time. That way, we can quickly stabilize the current situation."
"Oh, I see." The Jade Summoner Emperor nodded. Although he did not understand, he felt that what Li Huailin said seemed to make sense.
"I see." Nocvis, who was next to him, also understood what Li Huailin meant through the translation. He suddenly understood. "But the South is so big. Are we going to do this? Are we … going to perform miracles city by city? "
"How is that possible? You have so much time, but we don't have that much time." Li Huailin said, "Of course, we still have to perform miracles, but we can't do it in every city. It's too slow. So now, we need a slogan. Then, we can let the believers spread our slogan. A few of the larger cities will be occupied by us, and the remaining smaller cities will naturally surrender at the mere sight of us. We can also take advantage of this time to train these militia troops and increase their combat strength. "
"I see." After listening to Li Huailin's analysis, Nocvis suddenly felt that the future was much clearer. Li Huailin's plan was to occupy the entire South of the continent. This way, he would have a territory to confront the Church in the North. Of course, the problems of food and logistics could be solved because he had a territory. Nocvis suddenly felt that the situation was much more stable.
"This really isn't a road for the villages to surround the cities," the Jade Summoner Emperor said. "But who did you refer to? Has anyone used this method before? "
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. "Bring me a pen and paper."
The soldiers next to him immediately prepared the pen and paper. Li Huailin walked to the table and took a deep breath. He picked up the pen and wrote on the paper, "The heavens are dead, the yellow heavens will rise. In the year of sixty, the world will be blessed."
The Jade Summoner Emperor was speechless.
