Volume 6 Chapter 126 - The First Modern War (1/2)

Based on the hundred years of history between the Lampuri Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom, the Lampuri Kingdom declaring war on the Sack Kingdom wasn’t strange at all.

Because since the two countries had been established, the Sack Kingdom had invaded the Lampuri Kingdom again and again. Even if they didn’t fully beat the Lampuri Kingdom, the Lampuri Kingdom had suffered many humiliations at their hands.

Now, the Lampuri Kingdom had developed with the magic machine industry after several years and their financial situation was much better, so their national strength had increased.

Adding in the firm support from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, their army was equipped with a large amount of military magic machines, which increased their battle strength. In the conflicts between the two countries over the past few years, the Lampuri Kingdom had always won and the situation between the two countries changed.

In this situation, the Lampuri Kingdom declaring war on the Sack Kingdom to take back the humiliation that they suffered over the past several hundred years was something that was easy to understand.

But what many people were doubtful about was whether it was the Lampuri Kingdom or the Frestech Chamber of Commerce that supported them, they reached their hands out to the Sack Kingdom and requested their cooperation. This cooperation had spread to many aspects during the last three years.

Based on the information that came from this, the Lampuri Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom had a happy cooperation and they were deepening this cooperation this entire time.

Since they had such good cooperation, why would they suddenly change their attitude?

Not to mention that the Lampuri Kingdom had chosen the right timing to declare war on the Sack Kingdom. They declared war right when the Sack Kingdom had a clear advantage in their war against the Antila Kingdom, when the Polar Bear Regiment had gone deep into the Antila Kingdom’s territory.

If one looked at it from a purely strategic point of view, this was a very good chance because the Sack Kingdom was completely focused on the Antila Kingdom right now. If the Lampuri Kingdom suddenly declared war at this time, it would be hard for them to deal with.

But like this, it meant that the Lampuri Kingdom was serious when they declared war, they weren’t just doing it simply to attack the Sack Kingdom.

The reason for this was a bit thought provoking.

Because the Antila Kingdom and the Lampuri Kingdom had been separated by the Sack Kingdom, so they had very few relations with each other and definitely couldn’t be considered allies, so the Lampuri Kingdom declaring war on the Sack Kingdom clearly wasn’t to support the Antila Kingdom.

But the Lampuri Kingdom had a good cooperation with the Sack Kingdom and even at the beginning of the year, Queen Seveni as the leader of the Lampuri Kingdom had publicly announced that the Lampuri Kingdom and Sack Kingdom’s cooperation was going well. She hoped that they could deepen the cooperation to help develop both sides.

But now half a year later, her majesty Seveni was going against her own words?

No matter how one looked at it, the Lampuri Kingdom suddenly declaring war on the Sack Kingdom was strange.

However, for people outside of the Lampuri Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom, they didn’t care about the reason. What they really cared about was the result of the war.

Everyone knew that the Lampuri Kingdom was where the Frestech Chamber of Commerce started. Although because of the Lampuri Kingdom’s internal strife during the middle which caused the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to leave, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s relationship with the Lampuri Kingdom has always been good.

The Lampuri Kingdom’s Queen Seveni had a very close personal relationship with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Xu Yi, so the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had always supported the Lampuri Kingdom.

Because of this reason, the Lampuri Kingdom’s army had obtained a large amount of military magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. It could be said that other than the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards, they were the army with the most military magic machines.

Through the two invasions of the Candra Empire on the Rudson Kingdom, everyone knew the might of the military magic machines. Even with the few military magic machines of the Rudson Kingdom army, they were able to easily rout the Candra Empire army, so the Lampuri Kingdom army with even more military magic machines should be much stronger than the Rudson Kingdom.

So before this, even if they hadn’t fought yet, everyone thought that the Lampuri Kingdom’s army should be very strong.

This time the Lampuri Kingdom declaring war on the Sack Kingdom will let everyone see if the Lampuri Kingdom fully armed with military magic machines would be as strong as they imagined.

Putting aside the Lampuri Kingdom, the Sack Kingdom was also something that everyone cared about.

The Sack Kingdom was the only one that had announced they could produce military magic machines other than the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, during the attack on the Antila Kingdom, they had displayed how strong their military magic machines were.

Like this, if the Lampuri Kingdom fought that Sack Kingdom, it would be a war between two armies armed with large amounts of military magic machines.

This was a first for the Sines Continent, so naturally it drew attention.

Everyone wanted to know if the Lampuri Kingdom army armed with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s military magic machines, or if the Sack Kingdom army armed with their own produced magic machines was stronger.

For the countries and powers of the continent, this was an evaluation of a new modern method of warfare.
