The Marquis really tried his best, but limited by the times and the system, he only assembled 6,000 troops in such a short period of time.
Most of them are conscripts, with only half of them being professional soldiers. There are only 500 troops using Magic Crystal weapons and 3 Magic Crystal Cannon weapons.
The food supply is sufficient. Guardian Fortress is designed to resist Beast Tide for a long time. Even though it has been consumed very quickly recently, Swarm also needs to eat.
Chloe, who is riding on the shoulders of Hydralisk, is very dissatisfied. The human army is too weak. It is slow to assemble, slow to supply, slow to march, and its combat power is still weak. How can such an army cooperate with Swarm to fight together?
If it weren't for the purpose of reducing Swarm's casualties, Chloe would not have used these human troops at all. Originally, she planned to capture Warrior Fortress within 5 days. Looking at the marching speed, it would take more than ten days to reach Warrior Fortress's feet.
Just when Chloe was depressed, Raul was galloping over on horseback, but because the horse was afraid of Swarm. Raul could only dismount after approaching a certain distance and walked over.
"Your Highness Princess, ah, no, it's Crown Prince." Although Raul has become stronger and has been promoted, he is still an unstable young man.
"They are the troops of Marquis Jonathan, they have come to join us."
Chloe did not answer, but just nodded. The Marquis Jonathan is her Empress Mother brother, that is, her uncle. It is normal for people in her own family to support her. The politics of every Kingdom is a process of joint confrontation between various families.
Marquis Jonathan was riding a horse with a team of elite Knight, walking beside Swarm.
These fierce-looking and disciplined Monsters frightened him. He remembered that Raul told him that this was not Monsters but Swarm.
He didn't understand what Swarm was, but it must be a more terrifying existence than Monsters.
Originally, Jonathan was very confident. He just wanted to be a minister of the dragon. If his niece really aspired to the throne, it would be a great good thing for him and his family.
But after seeing these Monsters named Swarm, I wonder if the chips brought by Jonathan are still too light to join. If you provide help in times of need, people will be grateful; if it is the icing on the cake, others will not remember it very much.
Following Raul to the place closest to Swarm, all the troops and horses did not dare to move forward, no matter how much Knight urged.
This batch of Knight is the most elite Knight in the hands of Jonathan. Basically everyone is High-Ranking Knight who has mastered Psionics. The military horses have also been strictly trained, and they will not be afraid of High-Level Magical Beast.
But their current behavior is too abnormal. Animals' intuition is generally stronger than that of humans. Are these Swarm really that scary?
When Raul told everyone to dismount and walk, the neatly arranged Swarm made way for a path, and the huge and terrifying Hydralisk came into everyone's sight.
At the same time as Hydralisk was seen, Chloe, who was wearing a neat military uniform, was also spotted sitting on Hydralisk's shoulders.
"Uncle Jonathan, thank you for coming to support me. Compared with your enthusiasm, other nobles have no sense of honor at all."
Chloe crossed one leg and said words of praise to Jonathan.
After taking a look at Chloe, Jonathan couldn't believe that this was his former niece. The temperament and majesty she revealed was that of the king of a country. This kind of temperament can make most people surrender.
Including himself.
Jonathan quickly dismounted, knelt on one knee, put his hand on his chest and said, "It is my duty to relieve Crown Prince's worries. Crown Prince's praise is the best reward."
He introduced the Knights behind him who were also kneeling on the ground with his hands, and said, "These are the most powerful and loyal Knights in the family. I also brought three thousand troops to show allegiance to Crown Prince."
When Jonathan wanted to explain the composition of the army and say some compliments, Chloe interrupted him.
"I can see your loyalty in bringing so many troops here. You don't need to explain too much to me, Raul will take you to find Marquis Hornsos, and you will each lead the human army."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jonathan to reply, Hydralisk carrying Chloe returned to Swarm.
Faced with this situation, Jonathan was still very disappointed. It was obvious that Chloe didn't care much about him and the soldiers he brought. However, he did not pressure him, nor force him to arrange combat tasks, nor did he ask for supplies.
Is his army really that unimportant? Jonathan thought in confusion.
Warrior Fortress, an officer in the war room held a command stick and explained intelligence to the sand table.
"Chloe Princess's troops have already set off, mainly composed of Hornsos Earl's troops. No other nobles have responded to her call yet."
"The strength is about 5 to 7 thousand. These soldiers have been stationed at Death Forest for a long time to fight various Monsters. Their combat effectiveness should be relatively elite."
The baton drew a line along the sand table, and the line crossed the valley and Hills and finally reached the bottom of Warrior Fortress.
"It is speculated that their marching route should be like this. The scouts have been sent out and will report their movements at any time. They are expected to arrive in front of Warrior Fortress in 20 days."
After the explanation, the officer took back his command stick and stepped aside.
Duke Duke is very depressed now. He does not want to participate in the civil war. It does not matter to him who becomes the king. He only hopes that the country can be stable and strong.
In order to maintain neutrality, he sent envoys to show his goodwill to each prince, Princess, and brought gifts.
Neither of the two princes made things too difficult for him and forced him to take sides. Instead, Princess, who was carrying Prophecy, just came on stage and asked him to express his attitude. Now the troops have been sent out.
Not to mention the 5 to 7 thousand troops, Warrior Fortress's garrison has fifteen thousand people. Duke is not afraid of Princess's troops.
In addition, he has been conscientiously maintaining the militarization of the fortress. Now Warrior Fortress is fully armed, rich in supplies, and its defensive equipment has been upgraded with the times.
An army of fifty thousand may not be able to defeat it. Even if Princess can command Monsters among Prophecy, can those Monsters chew through the stones of the fortress?
Duke does not want to fight, let alone fight Princess. Regardless of winning or losing the battle, if Princess is injured or dies in the chaos, it will be his responsibility.
But he was unwilling to surrender to Princess. First of all, he didn't think that Princess, who was just 18 years old, could have much courage. A beautiful face was not a condition for being a king.
Secondly, I have just gained strength and can control some Monsters. Not to mention accumulating strength and winning over the nobles. The first thing to consider is to use force to force the nobles to take sides. This is a willful and self-indulgent strategy.
Such a person is not worthy of his Duke allegiance, but now we have to find a way to prevent the two sides from fighting.
It would be best if Princess, who doesn't know the heights of the world, can retreat from the difficulties.
