Chapter 1878: Chapter 1062 Hands Tightly Clasped Together
Upon hearing Catherine’s words, both our people and the vampire ministers present showed expressions of joy and began nodding to each other in greeting.
Our subordinates, needless to say, were filled with excitent and enthusiasm.
As Lord Leo Ray ntioned, after forming an alliance with the Ironhand Archipelago, once they make a large-scale advance, it will inevitably pose a significant threat to the Grimm Kingdom and Pars Empire on the other side of the coast.
If our side holds the main forces of the two nations at the Sunset Fortress and Unfallen Fortress respectively, then the two nations will surely be caught in a dilemma where they cannot attend to both ends.
In other words, with the previous progress in Dragon’s Lair and Mountain Fortress, hope is already in sight for four of the five invading armies!
As for the vampire ministers, before Leo Ray and Catherine entered the world of consciousness, they had already been mostly persuaded by Leo Ray, including Spirit Wand Prince Valentin.
After Leo Ray resolved the crisis and learned of his identity as the Chosen Son of God, their thoughts were further solidified.
Thus, with Catherine’s proactive announcent of the alliance between the two countries, naturally, no one opposed it.
“I thank Her Majesty the Scarlet Queen for her trust. On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen of Coldfla and the citizens of Coldfla Kingdom, in the na of the Coldfla Grand Duke and Holy Lion Prince, I wish for a pleasant cooperation between us.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly and then extended his hand for a firm handshake with the Scarlet Queen.
After finalizing the alliance, Leo Ray and his group returned with Catherine to the King’s Hall above, sitting directly opposite one another again.
This ti, the matters Leo Ray and Catherine discussed would undoubtedly decide the life and death of the two kingdoms.
Through Catherine’s introduction, Leo Ray learned that.
At the current stage, under the blessing of the Blood Feast Ritual,
the Ironhand Archipelago has established no regular army corps but instead boasts 80 Main Forces Corps, each comparable to those of the most elite other nations, even slightly superior in strength.
This includes 10 Imperial Guard Legions centered on the Blood Clan strongn, which are indeed the best of the best.
Of course, due to Blood Clan strongn being unsuitable for dayti combat, the Imperial Guard Legions can only exert their full combat power at night.
Additionally, the Ironhand Archipelago can muster over 50 regular army corps within a short period, ready to deploy to the battlefield at any ti.
“Amazing, the number of Main Forces Corps alone is nearly three tis that of an average Human Kingdom? Even surpassing the vast Pars Empire.”
Upon hearing Catherine’s description up to here, Leo Ray couldn’t help but express his amazent in his heart.
This undoubtedly ans that purely in terms of land combat strength, the Ironhand Archipelago can easily stand up against any Human Kingdom.
While Leo Ray was amazed inwardly, other strong figures on our side were even more uplifted.
If such a number of Main Forces Corps could advance directly from behind the enemy, it would undoubtedly pose a trendous threat to the Grimm Kingdom and Pars Empire!
But despite his amazent, Leo Ray clearly understood that things weren’t so simple.
Two major obstacles remain, hindering the full exertion of the Ironhand Archipelago’s strength.
First, the soldiers currently cannot act beyond the coverage of the Blood Feast Barrier.
Secondly, an extended sea route separates the Ironhand Archipelago from the Grimm Kingdom and the Pars Empire, and the previous assessnt of combat power did not include the opposing naval and air forces stationed at sea.
Just as Leo Ray pondered this,
Catherine’s pale face beca solemn as she began to explain further.
Through her description, Leo Ray learned further.
For a century, the Ironhand Archipelago has been developing its naval and airship forces continuously.
However, due to the lack of interaction with Human various countries, their ship and airship technology has lagged behind the Grimm Kingdom and Pars Empire.
Though the gap isn’t very evident, simultaneously combating the massive fleets of those two nations remains challenging.
Most crucially, since the Ironhand Archipelago beca isolated, those nations have never relaxed their surveillance, constantly patrolling the territorial waters with several large fleets.
“In other words, although our Ironhand Archipelago has a thousand warships and over five hundred airships, compared with the imnse scale of the Grimm Kingdom and Pars Empire, it still feels sowhat inadequate.”
At this point, Catherine shook her head helplessly.
“Inferior in both technology and quantity? Coupled with thorough surveillance asures, no wonder the Pars Empire and Grimm Kingdom aren’t worried about a backdoor attack from the Ironhand Archipelago.”
Leo Ray slightly frowned, then faintly smiled, saying, “There’s no need to worry about this. As long as we focus our elite forces to first strike the opponent’s naval and air harbors, we can significantly weaken their power.”
“His Royal Highness the Holy Lion is absolutely right. I think so too,”
Catherine nodded emphatically, saying earnestly, “With Your Highness’s cooperation, I believe breaking through the Pars Empire and the Grimm Kingdom blockade will be easy!”
“Then we can send a large number of soldiers ashore.”
Leo Ray lightly snapped his fingers and smiled.
