The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Of course, the main reason is that the current progress of the [Anglican Islands Immigration Plan] is still a long way from the goal that Soran expects!

Because the number of immigrants currently relocated to the [Anglican Islands] is only about 30,000.

This number is less than half of the entire population of Ganise City, and is not enough to support the rise of a force on the island.

So when Soran suddenly heard the news that the southern defense line of the Kingdom of Midburg had been breached by the Kingdom of Essex, he was really shocked.

"This news came through the secret channels of Count Katis's family. It is absolutely reliable!" Countess Katis said in a firm tone.

"In that case, we have to make preparations!" Soran thought thoughtfully.

"Now that the defense line in the south of the kingdom has been breached by the Kingdom of Essex, all the knights can march straight in!"

"So now, even Ganise County, which is in the rear, is not safe! We need to prepare as soon as possible and start moving to the [Angliss Islands]!"

Countess Katis nodded and agreed with Soran.

The transport fleet previously transported the subjects, tools, materials, etc. needed for the development of the [Anglican Islands]. Things like the things in her castle have not been packed up and transported yet!

"Oh! By the way! The noble castle of the Duke of McClellan's family hasn't been breached yet, right?" Soran suddenly asked in a serious tone.

"Probably not!" Countess Katis shook her head: "From the information sent from the front line, only the easternmost defense line of the southern battlefield was breached by the army of the Kingdom of Essex!"

"Only two or three days have passed so far, so the Netherlands County should not have been completely conquered yet!"

"That's good!" Soran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "If Fort McClellan hasn't been breached, then we still have enough time to pack up and evacuate here."

……

The most fertile plain in the Kingdom of Midburg is the vast plain located in the central county of the kingdom.

The second most fertile plain is the riverside plain along the north bank of the Winston River in the south of the kingdom.

The main area of ​​the riverside plain on the north bank of the Winston River is located in the Netherlands County.

The Netherlands County is not only the second largest administrative county in the Kingdom of Midburg, but also the hereditary fiefdom of the Duke of McClellan's family.

From the founding of the Kingdom of Midburg three hundred years ago to the present day, the Duke of McLennan's family has been granted this land for two or three hundred years.

They have worked on this land for hundreds of years, not only accumulating a strong cultural heritage, but also building many magnificent, majestic and steep aristocratic castles.

These aristocratic castles are not only very strong and durable, but also have excellent defensive capabilities.

They are like nails, stationed on this land and can block attacks from enemies several times their number.

Among them, the most outstanding castle in all aspects is the main castle of the Duke of McClellan's family - McClellan Castle.

Fort McClellan was newly built more than two hundred years ago. Compared with Fort Lonely Hill of the Marquis Saladin family and Fort Seagull of the Count Curtis family, it is a relatively young castle.

……

After the army of the Kingdom of Essex broke through the eastern defense line of the Kingdom of Midburg to the south, they only had three aggression paths to take if they wanted to invade and occupy the land of the Kingdom of Midburg.

The first route was to invade the north.

That is, to invade northward along the eastern coastal plain of the Kingdom of Middeburg, first it is necessary to occupy the Netherlands County, then the Cassel County, and finally reach the Garnisee County.

The second route is to invade the west.

That is, move westward along the river plain on the north bank of the Winston River, first break up the middle defense of the Kingdom of Midburg, enter Innatkirchen County, then move north from Innatkirchen County, invade Carter County, and finally attack Central County directly under the royal family.

The third route was also an invasion in the westward direction.

However, this route requires following the river plain along the north bank of the Winston River, breaking through the entire defense line in the south of the Kingdom of Midburg, and then entering the County of Ulster, and then taking the route that Sauron took when he participated in the Western War to invade the western region of the Kingdom of Midburg.

But no matter what choice the Kingdom of Essex makes, it will be blocked by the Kingdom of Midburg's second line of defense.
