The war between Odin and the Kaiser was on the verge of breaking out.
The Kaiser was far less incompetent than Moni had thought, and incompetent kingdoms do not develop to this day, but disappear and are replaced with the years.
"Moni is coming."
Jace, the leader of Arata, said coldly, wearing light blue armor, long brown hair, and an unspoken chill on his angular face.
As Jace stood on Arata's border wall, his face appeared to Joseph to be very similar to that of later Western Europeans—prominent cheekbones and a high nose.
The thought that Jace was the best leader Arata had had in eighty years was the unifying thought of every Aratha.
Alata, the largest area in the entire Kaiser Kingdom, naturally has many different voices.
Since the first seventy-five years of Kaiser's founding, controversy has not stopped in Arata.
It was until the emergence of Jace five years ago.
He was hailed as the "Wisdom of Kaiser" and has been so since his birth.
Rumor has it that Jace was born when a bird returned north in the cold of winter, a Welsh elephant howled, lions ran, and the first afterglow of the sky was shining on Arata when he was born.
Thus, he was named Jace, which in the Aden language is the phonetic translation of the gift of grace.
Jace also proved that he was indeed worthy of this title.
It took him five years to unify the whole of Arata, a true unification where people lived together peacefully even though they had different cultural customs and beliefs.
He spent five years building water, improving agriculture, searching for the best food, expanding the army, reorganizing armaments, reforming the legal system, unlocking the secret of Odin's bronze casting by Jace, and starting the metal smelting of Kaiser by himself.
And he was still only twenty years old this year.
All the Kaiser people are thinking that if Jace had been born decades earlier, I am afraid Kaiser would have been the first kingdom of Wales now, not Odin.
"How do you know? Jace, we haven't seen them yet. " Raiser, the chief of Buk, asked, "He was actually quite unconvinced about Jace in his heart, and at the same time felt a crisis. If Jace continued like this, maybe the whole Kaiser would belong to his rule."
"The birds and beasts are telling me everything." Jace replied indifferently, "Prepare yourself! This will be a vicious battle! "
"If Odin doesn't show up, I'll show you a good time."
Raiser thought viciously in his mind.
No one would think that Odin would dare to continue the southern conquest of Kaiser after conquering the Han River, which was not a reasonable thing to do.
Han River's territory was already vast enough, and it would not be wise for Odin to start another war in a short time after expanding such a piece of territory.
....
Just like in the story of the wolf, even if we want to oppose Jaiser's hasty gathering of the whole country's army, we have to wait until after he made a mistake and lost his prestige.
But so far, Jace is unbroken.
The entire Kaiser was put on war alert at the same time, and nearly 80 percent of the entire country's soldiers were drawn to Arata, a total of seventy-six thousand men.
This is a rather large number, but for Odin, the only redeeming factor is that only 20,000 soldiers from Alata are considered elite, while the rest are more like a number to make up the numbers to make a statement.
Jace stood on the wall looking at the disciplined army. He frowned slightly, but he did not say anything. In his heart, he already had the answer.
"Raiser! "Take your army and Arata's army to San Francise," Jace said to Raiser as he looked at the sky.
From the Han River Kingdom to the Kaiser Kingdom, all pass through San Francise, a stable route formed by trade over a long period of time.
San Francise was sparsely populated, and because it was unsuitable for farming, neither Kaiser nor Han River had incorporated it into their territory.
"You want me to go to San Francisco and attack the Odin?" Raiser thought he had guessed Jace's intentions.
"No, just to break their back." Jace shook his head and sneered, "The Odin has long since passed through San Francise and tomorrow will reach Arata."
"What!?" Raiser was shocked, and so were several other chiefs; only ten days had passed since Jace had informed them to go to the border city of Arata and station themselves there.
"How do you know that?"
"I set up men in San Francise, and they came back to me as soon as they spotted the Odin trail," Jace said. "The Odin are about twice as slow with food as well as weapons, so count on today, and as I said, the birds and animals will corroborate this answer."
"In that case, why don't we concentrate our efforts instead of moving over 40,000 men over to San Francisco?"
"The Odin are too powerful to be evaluated for now, but one thing is known, they must not be too many, at most 30,000 people, and considering that the Odin army is very early, the bronze casting has been hundreds of years, we must be killed and injured if we fight head-on!"
Jace said firmly, strictly speaking, even if all the 70,000 people were replaced with Arata elites, he was not at all confident that he could win against Odin.
"Jace? What nonsense are you talking about? If they have less than 30,000 people, how could our 70,000 people be defeated?" Kade, the chief of Tuta district, couldn't help but say after hearing what Jace said.
Tuta bordered Arata and was considered the closest to Arata, and usually Kade was very obedient to Jace, but this time, he also felt that Jace's words were too self-effacing.
"Will 30,000 lions lose to 70,000 sideburns?"
Jace did not say much, but only made this analogy.
The crowd was embarrassed for a while before someone asked, "Then in that case, all the more reason why we should not divide our troops!"
"Odin people dare to come to invade, naturally they should also be ready to realize!" Jace sneered, "While I called you guys, I also sought support from the Haka Kingdom in the east, we only need to station at the city walls, and when Haka supports us, the Odin will definitely flee in defeat!"
....
The people looked at each other and instantly changed their faces again.
"That's really great!"
"Jace you are really great!"
....
To say that Jace is really sure of defeating Odin, then Jace can't be called the smartest person in Kaiser.
The first thing to do when a big enemy is at hand is to stabilize the army.
Jace of course went to beg the Haka reinforcements, just Haka people cowardly and unbearable, not dare to anger Odin, but also unwilling to directly reject Kaiser, has been dragging no response.
Jace knew very well the power of the Odin, Odin people in less than a month to break Han River, which is never Kaiser such a paper-thin army can do.
But Jace also can not say straight Odin people brave and invincible, then it is only possible that before the battle first cowardly, and then the crowd rebels.
"This is the only way." Jace said in his heart.
Jace in the city wall looking into the distance, the sky white clouds blue sky as always, this is nearly to winter season, the grassland animals stored food, busy nesting.
And the grassland above ...
grass has withered.
