<h4>Chapter 1146 - Enemy Troops!</h4>


    With the rings shared out, everyone calmly stood under Ratum’smand as they quickly surrounded the massive table with the gigantic map on it.


    The map was extremelyrge, like abination of 10 parchment papers for the length and 5 parchment papers for the width all joined together.??


    Yes.


    One had to roll the map along the table to unfold itpletely.


    The Map was also the reason why they chose to attack this city because this city was the one which they had a detailed ouy of here in Terique.


    For sure, even though they didn’t know the other city, town and vigeyouts well, that didn’t mean that they would lose after cleaning things up here.


    No!


    After the battle here was won, they would send scouts to the nearest establishments, which shouldn’t be too far from here.


    And once the scoutse back from the nearest city, towns or viges close by, they would then proceed to advance, cleaning things out one step of the way.


    Typically, after a city, the nearest establishment should be a town or a vige 5-24 hours away.


    So it shouldn’t take more than 3 days for the scouts to return after that.


    Yup!


    They had everything all worked out in their minds and had even taken into ount that in a few months, the first wave of backup should be arriving in this city again, ready to follow through their same routes and aid them in advancing too.


    Well, all that was fine and dandy.


    But first, they had to tackle the most crucial and fundamental part of all.


    And that was quickly securing the war here.


    Because the faster they moved, the fewer chances the enemy would have to retaliate against them.


    If word went out, making its way towards the Capital, they didn’t want to give these Teriquens a chance to retaliate.


    That’s right.


    It would take several months for word to go through.


    And by then, they should’ve already been somewhat close to the Capital City, conquering ces left, right and center.


    Again, by then, more backup should’ve arrived.


    So it will all work in their favour.


    In short, Terique was bound to belong to Adonis!


    .


    Ratum quickly ced several wooden coloured boxes on the various regions around the map and then firmly held a short wooden staff too.


    The staff looked like a mini grass rake.


    "Holy Generals!


    We have 3 Main Units for today’s battle: Basic Troops, Auxiliaries and Legions.


    For starters, we have 60,000 Basic Troops filled with militiamen, spearmen, sling shooters, and shield holders.


    Generals, Tongai, Molu... (more names)... And Invonjo, you 8 have a duty of leasing your men through the Windkiln pass, Gobern Route...h, h, h... And Hickorus trails," Ratum said while pushing the small red wooden boxes on the map to where he wanted them to go.


    And as he exined, he would push each box through several trails, indicating whether they had to stay on the trail or divert to another region within the city.


    The holy generals leading these Basic Troops all nodded sternly as if swearing toplete the task without fail!


    "Good.


    There are 60,000 infantry soldiers, including advanced Spearman with gear, Archers and Militiamen.


    And, there are also 65,000 Calvaries too.


    You all would take the main paths here and quickly move towards the prominent estates, taking down the enemy forces found there."


    Hmmm...


    .


    Again, the generals all watched the blue wooden boxes with number markings on them get shifted around the maps left, right and center.


    One might think that since they came with massive sh.i.p.s, then they should be carrying arge number of warriors as well.


    But that would be wrong.


    Half of their sh.i.p.s were filled with the strongest horses within their empire, which were a higher breed than normal stallions.


    But because people didn’t know what to name them, they just called them Superior Horses instead.


    Again, this wasn’t the first time they had brought out these Superior horses through the open seas before.


    So they knew how to care for them, ensuring that they didn’t fall sick on sea and didn’t die.


    This also meant that the food supply they carried for these horses was even far richer than what they themselves ate at sea.


    Of course, if they were truly running out of food, they typically stopped at the coastal cities within the continent of Zohl or Ten to replenish their stocks and move on fast.


    Well, that’s why their trip was a little whileing here.


    Additionally, they also had horse healers too and ensured that their Superior war Horses were up for the tasks.


    Of course, there were a few casualties where close to 150 died at sea out of tens of thousands.


    And those that died were quickly turned into meat for the other horses to feed on.


    As for the sh.i.p.s that sank when they arrived here... fortunately, those sh.i.p.s weren’t carrying any horses, but they did carry something else that made their eyes bleed painfully.


    .


    "Moving on to the Legions!


    Your unitsprise of Chariot riders and even more advanced militiamen, spearmen, archers and spearmen.


    In total, we have 80,000 warriors for the task.


    But now, with almost 1,500 chariots sinking earlier on, have those who don’t have chariots switch to the Auxiliary units and be Calvary men instead.


    It’s indeed unfortunate, but at least we didn’t lose any of our men.


    That said, all holy generals willplete their assigned tasks without dy.


    IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?!!!"


    "Yes, Holy Kardinal!"


    "Good. You all have the rings of Andorus with you.


    So get out of my sight and win this war!"


    Hmmm...


    Everyone smiled and stepped out while rubbing the rings in their fingers lovingly.


    Hehehhehehe...


    They had a total of 265,000 Adonis warriors with ck powder, superior horses, battle weapons, skills and so on.


    So how could they lose?


    The way they saw it, this battle had already been won!
