When Ivita received the news of Germanicus’s death, he was at the border of the Alsace Kingdom, watching the King of the Ancient Tomb achieve victory after victory with the morale of his troops and clever tactics.
The army Ivita had gathered this time was rather disorganized, as he hadn’t had time to train a force himself, but the total number still amounted to over eight thousand, more than two thousand of whom were recruited professionals.
In addition, with support from The Three Republics, the total number of troops exceeded twenty thousand, not to mention an almost equal number of reserves.
After all, when it came to money, no one could surpass The Three Republics at the moment.
And in the southwestern border of the Alsace Kingdom, there should have been more than two legions, including one stationed in the south at Burgundy—The Alsace defensive legion, ready to support anywhere.
The full number of troops in a legion was 4990.
Yet corruption was rampant in Alsace, often reporting four or five soldiers for every actual one on the roster to embezzle provisions money, thus, the coalition facing Ivita totaled less than five thousand men from Alsace’s Fifth and Sixth Corps.
Both legions lacked morale, after all, the old king had died, and the new king hadn’t even had time to issue coins stamped with his image.
Under the call of Ivita, the rightful king, these soldiers hardly resisted and quickly surrendered or were incorporated.
