Chapter 187 Rome's declaration of war
Acardo, who was dedicated to expanding his military preparations, was surprised to find that there was a cruel man who was more anxious than him, and the Duchy of Lomec took the lead in attacking him!
However, this news made Yu Qianyu and others not surprised, because the Elf Forest was recently attacked by the Orc Empire and may have no time to take care of Rome Island, so the Principality of Mellock thought it was a great opportunity, so it launched this sudden attack.
The Rome Island military department, which found an excuse, immediately operated at full capacity, and the Rome Island military's transport fleet immediately set sail to transport the second division back to Romem from Newport. Romer Island now has 6,000 local defense troops, Edward's 1st Division, Tessa's 3rd Division, Gavin's 2nd Division, and more than 3,000 people from the 5th Division personally formed by Arcado, 10,000 Marines, with a total strength of nearly 55,000; 3,000 Newport Defense Force, Ba The 4th Division of Ke, the 6th Division formed by McVlon, has more than 2,000 people, with a total strength of more than 20,000.
At this moment, Rome Island actually has 85,000 troops, more than twice as many as 40,000 expected by the Principality of Lomek. In terms of combat experience, more than half of the troops have participated in at least one battle, and nearly half of the troops have the combat experience of large corps and repelled the army of the Orc Empire head-on. This impressive record can almost dominate the entire Asian continent, but it is a pity that the bravery of Rome's army is still unknown.
Even so, Rome Island is famous for its excellent weapons, so its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. Strong crossbows and fine steel armor, and hundred long swords are world-class weapons and equipment. The Rome Island army with these is undoubtedly the elite of the elite. Although General Meloa has included this part of the combat power, he The limited sources of information made him miss one of the most important things.
Technology! There is nothing wrong with the scientific and technological productivity of Rome Island. This invisible devil sickle has provided the army of Rome Island with countless killing weapons, including long knives, including strong crossbows, including the unknown Rome Island Navy's iron-clad destroyer fleet, including the army's secret weapon cars, including the terrible end of the war. Extreme killing machine - magic guide gun.
More than 1,900 cannons have been deployed on the island of Rome Island, most of which are deployed in caves and fortress castles carved on inaccessible cliffs. Although these weapons have never been opened fire, they are usually covered with canvas and disguised as crossbow guns, but soldiers and generals have witnessed this terrible weapon with their own eyes. We all know that any enemy near the sea near Rome Island will see the horror of hell.
The four main divisions of Rome Island have undergone a series of enhancements. Each division has more than 1,100 magic cannons, including 800 magic cannons and 300 new mortars. Armored reconnaissance vehicles have also withdrawn from the mortar version of the attack battle model. In addition to a large number of horses, the cavalry division is also equipped with a large number of cars and armored reconnaissance vehicles, and the infantry is fully motorized and has become a famous motorized infantry. These Romai army, which are finally no longer a financial burden, but entered a state of war and turned into a death messenger with green fangs.
"Tell McVlon to return to Rome Island to lead the overall situation of the military department. Sean's fleet set out and search in the direction of Lomec, send hot air balloon reconnaissance troops to find the main force of Lomec's navy. I want them to pay for their actions!" Arcado looked at the map and said that after learning the news of the proclamation of war in the Principality, he was in a very happy mood. The well-prepared army finally came in handy, and a breath of anger that had been depressed for many days finally spit out quickly.
Now the Rome Navy is not a small follower of the army. It has 24 destroyers starting with 4, 6 large destroyers starting with 5, a total of 30 combat ships, and 10 warships of the first fleet stationed in Yong'an Military Port. 3 5-character ships and 7 4-character ships; the second fleet in Yong'an Port is also equipped with the same configuration; the Romer Defense Fleet, which is permanently stationed in Yong'an Military Port, is equipped with 5 4-character ships; and the New Port stationed in Yongbei Fleet has 5 4-character ships.
After receiving the highest order of the sword fortress, Sean immediately led the first fleet of the navy to sail. His combat goal was very clear, sinking all Lomec navies that may appear on the route to Rome Island. He once assured Arcado that the navy would repel any invading enemy, and now someone has challenged his vow as Arcado's servant, which makes Sean very unhappy. Now Sean holds a terrible sea force in his hand, and he is confident that he will send all the thieves peeping at Luo Mai to the bottom of the sea.
The envoy of Romem Island was ordered to go to Koch City, the nominal capital of the southern city-state, and read the declaration of war and condemnation to the southern city-state Speaker Muse to the Duchy of Lomek: "In view of the bad practices of the Duchy of Lomek and the invasion of Rome Island, the people of Rome Island unanimously decided to declare war on the Duchy of Lomek."
Subsequently, the southeastern city-states actually controlled by the Muse declared neutrality and adopted an unsupporting attitude towards the actions of the Duchy of Lomek, hoping that the Duchy of Lomek could stop its attack on Rome Island, but this notice was immediately rejected by the Duchy of Lomek.
At the same time, the troops of Bello Province entered the Duchy of Lomek and declared war on Rome Island, announcing that the Duchy of Bello fully supported the Duchy of Lomek. 70,000 troops soon arrived near the Port of Dante of the Duchy of Lomek.
The troops of the Principality of Faria and the Principality of Antarctica also came to the port of the Principality of Lomek after a long journey by sea, but the two countries did not send the promised 50,000 troops, but 30,000 troops from each country came to help. Subsequently, the Principality of Antarctica and the Principality of Faria declared war on Rome Island. When the war broke out, it was the most disparity of power in the world, with four provinces against an island that was only one-fifth the size of a province.
In the long run, General Meloa now has 230,000 troops, which is far from his original idea. Moreover, the news from the navy is that the iron ships on Rome Island are much stronger than expected, the crossbow sailboat is difficult to gain an advantage, and the sea power is not as easily obtained as originally expected. Luolei Province did not fall to Rome or the four-nation coalition, but chose a neutral attitude like the Southeast city-state.
However, the good news is that the transport ships of the United Army can meet 100,000 people's cross-sea transportation operations after being recruited and transferred, which has strengthened General Meloa's confidence a lot. He expected the first landing operation to become much more certain than before.
