The Vastness of Magical Destiny

It turned out that Renta’s suggestion was extremely wise and correct, and the Bright Torrent Knights and Homer Knights had indeed become the two major knightly powers under his command. Formed on the basis of Poznan and Silesia Knights, and Homer Knights respectively, knights from both regions took pride and honor in joining these orders. Meanwhile, the Godeborg Knights were fully committed to catching up quickly, hoping to become another major contender in a short amount of time.

The strength of the three knights regiments recovered and even expanded quickly. In the real combat among the competing regiments, the knights discarded much of their past focus on superficial splendor. They adopted more practical combat experience, leading to a significant leap in the combat effectiveness of the three regiments.

While the strength of the knights regiments couldn’t decide the outcome of the war, having already possessed a significant advantage in infantry and mage power, the addition of these three knights regiment’s strength was undoubtedly like adding a significant weight to the scale of victory.

In fact, Komer had long been analyzing the composition of the Northern Alliance’s military power. Compared to Nicosia, the Northern Alliance’s knight power was much more formidable. However, their infantry power was far inferior to what he now controlled: the Rock Corps (Half-beastman Army) and the Furious Wave Corps (Barbarian Army). This was also the main reason why they were forced to adopt a grueling defensive stance when facing the beastmen’s overwhelming surges at the Northern Border.

Once the beastmen broke into the heartland of the Northern Alliance, the Northern Alliance’s army could use their relatively complete fortress defense system to restrain the beastmen’s impact. At the same time, they employed tactics of concentrating forces and choosing opportune moments to engage in decisive battles, which usually saw every beastmen invasion bring huge damage and losses, but ultimately, the beastmen were forced to retreat bitterly.

Komer had also compared his military power with that of the Northern Alliance before, and how to utilize his advantages to suppress the opponent and secure victory had always been a subject he and Fran studied. However, military confrontations were not solely determined by tactics. While considering how to suppress the enemy’s advantage and leverage their strengths, the enemy was also considering the same issues and thinking about countermeasures. The Northern Alliance had many outstanding military generals; otherwise, they would not have stood firm until now against the beastmen.

Many strategies designed in advance turned out to be futile in real combat. Komer could only say that he considered everything to the greatest extent possible, but when it really came to deciding the outcome of the war, it all depended on strength and momentary adaptability.

While Komer was fully focused on mobilizing as much military power as possible for this battle, which could be described as decisive for the fate of Nicosia and himself, Fran silently responded to the call and came to Komer’s study.
