1260 The rout of the Rock Empire
To Faulk's surprise, these strange "birds" that swooped down did not target him.
On the contrary, these swooping and humming terrible weapons exploded in a regular circle around the place where he stood!
The surrounding guards have all been annihilated, and the generals who are near the headquarters have also been completely cool.
Fakker struggled through the smoke from the explosion, and then found himself seemingly having lost everyone in the entire command.
His ears were no longer audible, only the shrill chirping echoed all the time. He staggered over to a soldier who had just gotten up, grabbed the other man's collar, and shouted loudly, "Retreat!" Fall back! ”
In fact, there was no need for him to shout, and the moment he saw that Shuai Qi was blown down, many commanders of the Rock Empire gave orders to retreat.
Faulk stood on a high place in a daze, he could feel his hearing gradually recovering, and he could also feel the blood stains on his body, none of which were his own.
Not being injured is good news for Fokker. His sword had long since been thrown there, and in fact the armor on his body had long since lost its former light.
"General! Checkmate! News came from the cavalry unit that your adjutant Sterman had been killed, 2000 cavalry had been routed on the way to the charge, and the remaining cavalry was continuing to retreat under the command of the Grand Prince! ”
"What do you say......"
The herald ...... seemed to know that his general was deaf, so he had to raise his voice and shout the news again.
This time Falk heard some key words, so he nodded and ordered loudly: "Order all soldiers to retreat immediately!" The whole army retreated! ”
He shouted at the top of his voice, and the officer who gave the order frowned and listened, nodded his head, replaced the verbal response with a body movement, and then turned and climbed onto the back of his war horse, and ran off into the distance.
The soldier who had been standing beside Fokker finally mustered up the courage at this time and asked loudly: "General! Do you want me to help you call the officers in the neighborhood ......? ”
Falk, who was startled by the sudden loud voice, rubbed his ears and scolded, "What are you shouting...... I'm not deaf! ”
"......" The soldier noticed that Fokk's hearing seemed to have recovered a lot, so he asked in a more normal voice, "General, do you want to ......?"
"Go! Call your chief! Also, let all the officers in the neighborhood report to me! Falk shook his head, walked over to another soldier, and commanded in a loud voice: "Quick! Hurry up and send the news of the defeat back to the imperial capital! Just go! ”
……
Ten days later, in the Flame City, the imperial capital of the Flame Empire? A minister hurriedly walked into the main hall, walked up to the Flame Emperor who was holding a meeting, bowed his head and reported, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! An emissary sent by the Rock Empire? Brought very bad news. ”
The Emperor of the Flame Empire dispensed with the other party's etiquette and asked, "So, those rumors are all true?" ”
"Yes! Your Majesty, it's almost certain? These gods from heaven have no intention of leaving! The minister continued: "And? They seem to have annexed the Tempest Empire......"
"We already know that! The Tempest Empire's abdication edict of Noshar Tempest? It's been almost half a month since I teleported the world. The Emperor of the Flame Empire waved his hand: "Pick up the important ones...... The force of the opposing party...... Isn't it something we can contend with? ”
"Yes! The messenger of the Rock Empire, what is the message from him? There are monsters that can breathe fire in the sky! The minister continued: "Also, does the other side have weapons that can knock down our soldiers from a distance?" And invulnerable tanks? The terrifying iron golem ......"
The ministers who were holding a meeting for this ...... began to talk to each other. Such amazing news? Such a powerful enemy made them forget about the etiquette of the king in an instant.
"These enemies from the sky? Some people are still wearing heavy armor, and they are invulnerable? Our soldiers simply couldn't hurt them in the slightest. The minister continued, "And ...... The Rock Empire sent a message saying? The other party is an ordinary infantry who wears armor and fights with spears? Each one is two meters tall and has green fangs, like a devil! These soldiers are simply invincible, and they can easily defeat five times or ten times the Rock Empire soldiers......"
"The soldiers of the Rock Empire are not given for nothing, and we are also very clear about their combat effectiveness, so these enemies that the Rock Empire thinks cannot be defeated must be very strong in combat." When a general heard the news, he said in shock.
The great general of the empire reported to his emperor: "Your Majesty! I have already ordered the reinforcement of the defenses near the border, and the troops that have been armed up in the follow-up have begun to reinforce the border area. ”
"Now we have 100,000 people deployed in the border area, and if necessary, we can add 100,000!" He gave a very accurate figure.
However, it was obvious that this was not enough, because the Rock Empire had gathered 100,000 troops in the border area, but it only took a few days for the other side to defeat this force.
If you want to be foolproof, you should increase the number of troops to 500,000, or even more.
But obviously, such a figure is not the number of troops that an empire can maintain for a long time.
Sure enough, next, the great general of the Flame Empire continued: "Any more will be a bit unbearable, because after all, we are in a defensive state, all the military rations have to be transferred, and the materials need to be slowly hoarded, so we need more time." ”
The chief knight added: "The cavalry troops are also ready to be dispatched, 30,000 cavalry can be dispatched at any time, if you count Your Majesty's royal knight army, we can directly dispatch 50,000 cavalry to reinforce the areas attacked by the enemy." ”
"When the other party descended, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the loud noise shook the sky...... So, we have only one way to honestly choose to surrender? Ignoring his Grand Knight Chief, the Emperor of the Flame Empire looked at the minister who was delivering the letter and asked.
At this time, the Prime Minister of the Empire, the aged Chief Minister, stepped forward and asked in an old voice, "Your Majesty! Isn't this kind of thing supposed to be handled by the Holy See? ”
