“Of course, the 15,000-man heavy cavalry troop of the South County noble alliance army are stronger. Ten years ago, I saw the heavy cavalry troops of the Dukedom of Leo when they were defending against the invasion of the Silver Platter Kingdom. Even if they are more elite than this heavy cavalry troop, there is a limit to how elite they are!”
Pausing for a moment, he saw that everyone was very interested and was even more engaging in discussion, he then said, “I admit that the infantry legion of the North County noble alliance army is not as bad as the rumors say. However, you have to look at the battlefield terrain of this decisive battle. This is a plain area. You want to rely on 30,000 infantrymen to stop the charge of 15,000 heavy cavalry soldiers? Do you think that’s possible?”
This spy’s opinion was obviously the opinion of many of the spies.
As soon as he finished speaking, many of the spies echoed.
“You’re right!”
“That makes sense!”
“I think so too!”
“It’s absolutely impossible!”
There were even more powerful and convincing examples given by the spies to strengthen this understanding.
“The imperial guards of the Kaischino Empire seven thousand years ago. I think it should be the most powerful infantry corps in the past ten thousand years on the continent. Everyone doesn’t deny this, right?”
The spy first asked all the spies around him. After seeing that everyone nodded, he continued.
“Back then, when the Isai Kingdom wanted to be independent from the Kaischino Empire, many noble families of the north joined in and swept across the entire north bank of the Resniston River.”
“They relied on a force of twenty thousand invincible heavy cavalries to crush the army sent by the Kaischino Empire. In the end, they forced the Kaischino Empire to send fifty thousand imperial guards to attack, the battlefield was also on this vast plain in the South County of the Dukedom of Leo.”
“20,000 unrivaled iron cavalry of the Isai Kingdom fought against 50,000 of the strongest infantry corps on the continent — the Imperial Royal Guards. I think everyone knows the result!”
The words of this spy seemed to have brought many spies back into the vast river of history. They were fascinated by that unprecedented battle.
That was the greatest war in the history of this continent in the past ten thousand years. It was the most glorious chapter in the history of the wars of various countries.
Faced with this spy taking out this battle example to compare with the current battle situation, even some of the spies who initially believed that the infantry legion of the North County noble alliance army could win changed their minds.
Even though the 15,000 heavy cavalry soldiers of the South County noble alliance army could not be compared to the invincible iron cavalry of the Isai Kingdom 7000 years ago.
However, they did not think that the 30,000 infantrymen of the North County could be compared to the most elite imperial guards of the Kaischino Empire who dominated the entire continent.
At this moment, a spy said weakly, “We can’t compare like this, okay?”
Many of the spies were immersed in the imagination of that unprecedented battle. As the horses under them slowly moved towards the north, the atmosphere was a little quiet.
Therefore, the voice of this spy was very abrupt.
All of the spies immediately focused their gazes on that spy.
Spies like them, who could be sent to such a distant battlefield, were all elites in this profession. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they had traveled far and wide. Otherwise, no matter how glorious that war was, it was already 7,000 years ago, no one could know.
And these spies were obviously known by everyone.
The words of this spy were challenging everyone’s understanding. Everyone thought that there was no problem with such a comparison. He was the only one who opposed such comparison.
The gazes of all the spies all expressed the same meaning, “Speak your opinion, and then let us despise you!”
The spy was alone, and he was not confident at first, but when he was provoked by the eyes of the crowd, he went all out and said in a clear voice.
“The victory and defeat of the war should not be seen only from the military strength comparison. The commander of the army is equally important!”
He continued, “I think that in the war of 7000 years, if it was not for General Edmund’s leadership, 20,000 Isai Kingdom’s iron cavalry would definitely lose against 50,000 Kaischino Empire’s imperial guards! You should know that General Edmund even succeeded in becoming a god through that war!”
“Who is General Edmund?”
“That’s right, why isn’t General Edmund in the war historical records that we have read!”
“Then you should know that the god that the Dukedom of Leo worships, the God of War, Edmund!”
Many of the spies revealed expressions of disbelief. They had never known about this matter.
“The God of War, Edmund, actually ascended to godhood through that unprecedented battle?”
“How is this possible?”
“I know nothing about this!”
“Damn it, could it be that the historical data I’ve read about the war is incomplete?”
It was obvious that the spies were very concerned about the incomplete information they knew about that unprecedented battle.
“Brother, who faction does you serve? Many of us know each other, but you look very unfamiliar!”
At this moment, someone asked.
They were all spies from forces far away from the Dukedom of Leo, and they were even closer to each other. That was why they were chatting harmoniously.
The spy who was asked said somewhat awkwardly, “I work for the War Temple. When I saw so many of you together, I came over.”
In the profession of spies, information was the most important. It was taboo for him to act like this.
However, these spies did not discuss any secret information. Moreover, they were in the territory of the Dukedom of Leo, so they did not think of doing anything to him.
“War Temple?”
“So, you are from the Dukedom of Leo?”
“No wonder, no wonder!”
“Brother, tell us the specific situation of the war that happened 7,000 years ago!”
Upon hearing the words of this spy, the shrewd spies knew why this spy knew the information about the war that they did not know.
In the War Temple, there would naturally be the most detailed information about the war god that they believed in.
As for the other kingdoms and dukedom, they each had different gods that they believed in. If they recorded the information that Edmund was the commander-in-chief of the 20,000 iron cavalries of the Isai Kingdom in the historical records, wouldn’t it help Edmund increase his believers?
As for the nobles, they obviously did not want their own people to believe in the God of War, Edmund, because they read the historical records, so they moved from their estate to the dukedom of Leo.
These spies were obviously more interested in this ancient secret about the gods. They didn’t continue to discuss the strength of the alliance of the noble forces of South County and North County.
The spy from the War Temple was obviously willing to spread the glorious deeds of the god he believed in.
Just like that, as the spy slowly told the story of the God of War, Edmund’s ascension, the horses under them brought them to the center of the battlefield.
