Chapter 485-483: Allied Forces Strength (Please Subscribe)
It should be said that the intelligence system of the Flower Territory is quite well-developed.

With Ang's original gang as its core, it grew rapidly after absorbing local gangs and a large number of people from society.

Its most distinctive feature is that intelligence gathering and operations departments are clearly separated.

The action department consists of those black-clad swordsmen who are agile, practice fast swordsmanship, and after mastering the basics of meditation, are equipped with standard magical pistols and silencers.

Infiltration is their forte; they can take over a heavily guarded manor without anyone noticing.

It is worth mentioning that most of its members are selected internally, especially the family members of intelligence agencies, who are qualified to enter and receive specialized training.

As for the intelligence department, in addition to forming three elite intelligence gathering teams dispatched abroad, Ang extended a large number of his tentacles to people at the grassroots level of society.

It's possible that street vendors, elderly people buying vegetables, and servants are all their informants.

The advantage of doing this is that it doesn't attract attention. Even someone as perceptive as a fourth-order natural disaster wouldn't kill someone just because they glanced at you, right?

Therefore, the spies of the Flower Clan are distributed in all aspects and every corner.

Even among the few natural disaster victims recruited, their residences were not without informants.

This wasn't something Roy specifically instructed, but Ang had arranged everything perfectly.

However, after focusing most of their efforts on the internal construction, the decorations outside the flower-lined area were not satisfactory.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time. No matter how hard Ang tried, that was all he could do.

The situation changed with the arrival of the Faceless Killer, Ulysses.

The flower industry receives ample funding, and the intelligence system also receives substantial grants.

With the cooperation of Ulysses, the Faceless Killer and intelligence chief, the assimilation and integration were relatively easy.

However, due to the short timeframe, Ang has not yet been able to firmly imprint the Raymond family's mark on this intelligence network.

However, their inherent operational rules still allow them to maintain efficient intelligence gathering.

Moreover, the Morric family was originally established in the Kingdom of Sardinia, where it is the most elite part.

They even placed clerks in the Sardinian cabinet, thus obtaining accurate information about this troop deployment at the earliest opportunity.

The cabinet has decided to send the Kingdom's 39th Division to this battle.

This infantry division, which had been withdrawn from the battlefields of the Bonaparte Empire, suffered heavy losses, but after replenishment, reorganization, and retraining, it had become a fully-fledged division that had been battle-tested.

Its total number of personnel is approximately 10,000, including six regiments and logistics support units, as well as a field artillery battalion and three magic-powered firearms battalions.

It is a hybrid of magical weapons and melee weapons, and is the military system currently used by the Allied Forces.

There was no other way; they weren't the Habsburg Empire after all. Without decades of widespread education, it was already quite an achievement to gather so many magic apprentices.

Even so, these magic apprentices are far from being standard magic artillerymen. They are lucky if they can fire the cannons skillfully. In terms of physical fitness, tactical awareness, and ballistic calculation, they are far behind.

However, this is compared to the Empire's main combat legions. If we look at the entire Old World, they are considered a strong army.

Of course, that alone is not enough to be considered safe.

So Her Majesty the Queen conscripted another truly extraordinary knightly order—the Coast Knights.

The Kingdom of Sardinia is known for its long coastline and for a long time suffered from pirate attacks.

These pirates could land anywhere, burn, kill, and loot before retreating, making them extremely difficult to capture.

Therefore, the Sardinian royal family took the lead in forming this Coastal Knights Order, selecting exceptionally skilled knights to join, using their mobility to continuously patrol the coastline and slay pirates.

It should be said that at a certain period, the Coast Knights were quite powerful, gathering many strong knights and having an excellent training mechanism and echelon building, making it a place that Sardinian men had longed for since childhood.

At its peak, it even came close to being among the top ten knightly orders, second only to the Knights of the Round Table in the Kingdom of Sardinia.

However, with the continuous expansion of the Sardinian Kingdom and the explosive development of its navy, pirates no longer dared to plunder.

As a result, the strength of the Coast Knights was significantly reduced, far from their peak, but they were still a renowned and extraordinary knightly order.

Bonaparte's battlefield has shown that although knights have been abandoned by the times, extraordinary knights, with their aura defenses, can still pose a great threat.

Even so, Her Majesty the Queen was not satisfied, and she privately sponsored another mage corps—the Palm Mage Corps.

Compared to the transparent information about the Coast Knights, the Palm Mage Order is quite mysterious. All that is known is that it was founded with the sponsorship of Queen Victoria, and although its history is not long, its strength is definitely not weak.

Even though this is a war among nobles, and the consequences of a fourth-tier natural disaster must be taken seriously, the power that a complete mage squad can unleash is still quite terrifying.

Moreover, the mage group's main practice of meditation, spellcasting tendencies, magical expertise, and secret techniques are all unknown.

As for the conscription of higher-level natural disaster experts, that's beyond the reach of this clerk.

Without the involvement of legends, it would be utterly fatal!

It can be said that the sheer number of troops dispatched by the Kingdom of Sardinia was enough to make anyone who knew about it gasp in shock.

He felt that the destruction of the Raymond family was drawing ever closer.

Moreover, this is only one of the three leaders of the coalition.

The second accurate message arrived from the intelligence department of the Bonaparte Empire.

Although he couldn't send troops to help directly, Lord Robin Walter managed to secure intelligence support.

Under the Empire's intelligence network, the affairs of Bonaparte's cabinet were also as transparent as a sieve.

It should be said that although the overall situation on the Bonaparte battlefield was stalemate, this did not mean that the two sides stopped fighting.

There were no major battles, but small conflicts occurred every day.

At this time, it was not easy to draw up a complete legion, and it might give the Empire an opportunity. Therefore, Marshal Joffre of Bonaparte chose another method: to draw troops piecemeal from the long battlefront, and then combine them with some new recruits to form new divisions.

This is the 13th Division of the Bonaparte Empire, with a total strength of about 10,000 people, consisting of five regiments plus logistical support personnel.

It is also equipped with a field artillery battalion and four magic-powered firearms battalions to serve as the main force.

Marshal Joffre's method was certainly good; taking a little from one side and some from another, the number of people involved was small, and it wouldn't affect the defensive line.

Those available for deployment are all elite soldiers.

The only problem is that this requires more time for organization, integration, and training.

Therefore, this work was carried out several months ago, dating back to before the three marquesses launched the noble war against the Flower Territory.

What is this called?
That's what you call premeditated!
However, this newly formed legion alone is far from enough.

Therefore, the great Bonaparte III sent the Imperial Eagle Knights, one of the ten extraordinary knightly orders of the Old World.

If the Coast Knights reached the edge of the top ten knight orders at their peak, then the Imperial Eagle Knights have been dominating the rankings for years.

The Imperial Eagle Knights, also known as the Royal Guardian Knights, are primarily responsible for protecting the safety of members of the royal family and accompanying them in wars.

It can be divided into two parts: ground knights and sky knights.

This ground knight rides a rocky stag, and aside from slightly lacking endurance, its attack, speed, and carrying capacity are all maxed out.

As for the Sky Knights, they ride giant eagles, and these soaring eagles are unique among flying mounts.

Intelligent, fierce, skilled in teamwork, and quite powerful, they would even dare to challenge dragons if there were enough of them.

The name "Imperial Eagle" actually comes from this, and their flag is a soaring eagle.

Those who could protect the Bonaparte royal family were at least third-tier extraordinary beings.

Therefore, this is a true extraordinary knightly order, and members below the third rank are not qualified to enter.

It is only because the Bonaparte Empire has many powerful figures and a deep foundation that so many extraordinary knights could not have been gathered together.

However, this also reveals the predicament of the Bonaparte royal family. They simply could not spare any other organized legions, so they sent their own guard knights.

It's worth mentioning that the Empire's intelligence network is impressive; there's clear information that a legendary powerhouse is involved, and it seems that the Green Dragon Knight, Quentin Parkinson, is coming.

As for the most distant Slavic empire, the information is rather mixed.
Loy finally confirmed the information by verifying it with the Freud family, imperial intelligence, and even the McKinley family.

This time, the Slavic First Army Group, the newly formed Royal 4th Division, came.

If we were to name a typical example of a nation that suffered repeated defeats since the beginning of the Total War in the Old World, the Slavic Empire would undoubtedly be the one.

Some even say it diminished the prestige of the Old World's imperial overlords.

It was only because of its vast territory, abundant resources, sparse population, and harsh environment that it was divided up long ago; otherwise, it would have been divided up long ago.

This statement is somewhat biased, but it does have some merit.

The newly formed 4th Royal Division was selected from these defeated soldiers.

The Slavs are not lacking in courage, and those who survived the various wars were all familiar with magical weapons.

They were the most skilled warriors in the empire, veterans who had survived countless battles and escaped death.

Of course, the Empire still provided them with plenty of field artillery, magical firearms, and magic apprentices.

The magical weapons purchased from Flower Territory were used to arm a field artillery battalion and three magical rifle battalions before returning to Flower Territory.

It's somewhat ironic.

As for the trump card to hold the fort, the Tsar sent the Infernal Knights, which is also one of the ten great knight orders!
What's most commendable about this knightly order is their mounts, all of which are high-level magical beasts called the Flame Prison Komodo.

Komodo dragons are monsters that resemble a combination of a rhinoceros and a crocodile. They have scales on their bodies, incredible stamina, and typically weigh over a ton. They are terrifying when they charge and have a violent temper.

When you don't provoke them, they are relatively gentle, but if you do, they can use their horns to smash you to pieces at 60 miles per hour.

This knight order was specially trained, and they all practiced the Fiery Hell Breathing Technique. When they reached the third level of transcendence, their battle aura was like flames, radiating high temperatures, and had some of the power of fourth-level fire battle aura.

Then, they mastered a special secret technique that allowed them to infuse their own fighting spirit into the Komodo beast's body, forming the Infernal Komodo, thus creating the ultimate form of the Infernal Knights.

Its formidable combat strength is absolutely undeniable.

Historically, no matter how poorly the Slavs performed on the battlefield, the Knights of the Inferno were not among them.

What's most amazing is that this battle aura technique is reciprocal; the Fiery Hell Battle Aura can be poured into the Komodo Beast's body, and the magic power within the Komodo Beast will also enter the Knight's body.

As a result, these Infernal Knights also possess some scattered magical power, making it somewhat difficult to control them, inscribe magical runes, and unleash magic.

However, it's enough to activate the magic weapon.

Therefore, the Tsar had already equipped the Knights of the Infernal with magical firearms in addition to their main weapons.

Among them were many Maxim heavy machine guns sold by Luo Yi.

When these messages came, even though she was very confident, Luo Yi felt a little numb.

Clearly, the three giants had discussed this beforehand, and the forces they dispatched were almost equal.

Moreover, they had no intention of gathering their forces together for a decisive battle with Luo Yi.

Instead, they launched an attack from the west, south, and east.

This time, almost everyone thought that Flower Territory was in grave danger.
