Chapter 605: Duke of Blood Axe

The Surduwa have been fighting against the Children of Dread for thousands of years, and during this time, both sides have fought almost exclusively on the Jain continent, and only now is it the Surdua who are forcing the main field of the battle back to the territory of the Children of Dread.

Win or lose, it's a big win for the empire to celebrate.

Millions of undead had lost more than a tenth of them in the last battle, and about three-tenths of them were wounded, and they were facing the Surdua Imperial Army, which was only a third of them.

Armed with samurai firearms and artillery, a large number of steam tanks and turbo chariots as cover, a professional army carefully crafted by a transcendent civilization will hardly be able to gain the upper hand if it cannot have an absolute superiority in numbers.

Assessed on millennial experience, this figure would also be at least 7:1.

……

The commander-in-chief gave the order, and the four mobile fortresses each surrounded the city of Marduk from one direction in the shape of windmills.

In addition to the large number of artillery stored inside, each fortress is surrounded by a fully mechanically armed army, and any undead who try to break out of the city will be met with their head-on blows and smashed into a mass of smithereens.

The main role of the mobile fortress is to suppress, and the main force of the attack is to hand over the mechic legion of tanks, chariots, siege guns, and giant compound catapults.

Even swaths of the city walls can be torn down when the steam tanks are in full swing, not to mention the debris left over from the destruction of the city in the early night.

Turbo chariots can usually seat four people, the turbine engine power bursts faster than a steam tank, and the chain of fire bolts connected to the roof of the car can burst out with a power close to that of a rocket launcher, and it is a continuous explosion.

If the steam tank is the tiger on the battlefield, then the turbo tank is the horde of wolves, coming and going like the wind, and the attack is cruel and swift.

In the first time, the undead could hardly organize a useful offensive, and it was useless under the suppression of the artillery, followed by the crushing of tanks and vehicles, coupled with the support of rear fire, in just a few rounds, the undead battle array was completely routed, and the hinterland was exposed to the eyes of the enemy.

The objective of the battle had been achieved, and the high-spirited commander-in-chief seemed to sweep away the decadence brought by the night, and soon, regaining its confidence, it issued a second command:

"Heavy gunners are added to the front, and the firepower continues to be suppressed! ……”

"The siege team and the rushing convoy evacuate! ……”

"The float boat is in place, and the 1st, 3rd and 9th Corps of the Airborne Forces are in reserve ......"

A number of precise commands, which were conveyed to the minds of the leaders of every unit of the army through the Nian Division, soon the fierce offensive of the Surduis began to slow down, and the extreme aggressiveness seemed to be extinguished at this moment.

But in reality, the Surduwa offensive was slow and steady, and the cycle was forceful, and the 'Children of Fear' were provoked to fight back wildly, but the end was still a blind defeat.

Maybe it was because the aftermath of the last war had not subsided, or maybe it was because the injuries had not been repaired, in short, the people of Surdua seized on the decline of the 'Children of Dread' and launched a fierce attack, and the Children of Dread behaved as the pre-war command predicted-

Section! Section! Fail! Withdraw!

Soon, four passages opened from the four gates of Marduk City to the center, and the undead who were powerless to stop finally began to break apart, and it was at this moment that dark clouds began to fill the air, and the black fog of dead silence was entangled, and when it appeared, it immediately blew a dark wind, like a substance, and the people of Surdua were ashes on the spot.

The ninth seat of Dead Silence, the 'Star of Hope', appeared, and it was only the first appearance, and it was the divine power that brought the hope of extinction.

However, during the Battle of the Children of Dread and Night, the Star of Hope was also recorded by the Surduwa, and then placed on the table for the War Command to go back and forth.

In the midst of bold assumptions and careful verification, the true combat power of the Hope Star was analyzed bit by bit, and so, with a huge advantage, the Empire launched a revenge war against the 'Children of Fear'.

During the war, the agent of the two sides was the 'Son of Hope', and the representative sent by the Imperial side was the Duke of Bloodaxe.

……

Cleaning the battlefield and repairing the city walls, the people of the city were very happy about the victory in this great battle.

It was at such a time that Cangye issued a rare half-day ordinance, giving the soldiers participating in the war a half-day vacation to go back to visit their parents, which brought some points to Cangye's previous brutal rule.

Not long after the end of the war, Cangye immediately devoted himself to post-war construction.

Despite the victory in this war, there was a lot of damage left on the city, so it was necessary to repair it with a quick investment of resources, and it was expected that it would be ready to be fortified before the next big battle.

This time, if it weren't for the early completion of the strategic goal and the early retreat of the 'Children of Fear', otherwise Cangye would not be so anxious to repair the city.

Moreover, more resources should have been invested, and the policy of shortening the construction process has not been introduced, and the so-called half of the regulations are just a timely product, and if there is no need to shorten the construction period, it is not bad to use it to buy people's hearts.

There is no need to track through the hounds, only rely on a careful logical system to calculate, and the night also knows that the second battle will continue to be postponed.

How could the Surdua Empire of a third-party force give up the opportunity to become a yellow sparrow.

The forces he led won a great victory in this battle, and it seemed that there were no losses, and the fortifications were still intact, while on the other side were the 'Children of Dread' who had fled and entered the ruined city of Marduk to rest.

And among the praying mantis and cicadas, the 'child of fear' has to add a layer of thousand-year-old enemy identity, so the script of encountering enemy sniping after fleeing is already a foreseeable future.

As the strongest of the 'Children of Fear' in the rout, the 'Star of Hope', the ninth seat of Dead Silence, has mythical combat power and is kept in a relatively intact state.

This is undoubtedly the greatest adversary of the Surdua people in their revenge.

According to the information transmitted through the hounds, although the Surdua Empire used alchemists to drive the rapid development of industrial civilization, the idolatry of heroes has not yet dispersed.

Wealth and force create order, and as a great force that can fight the 'Children of Fear' for thousands of years, there are also many hidden masters in the empire.

Based on the feudal division system in the past, the prince and the prince were used as the basis for the division of strength, and the medal of glory that brought glory to the powerful of the empire was bestowed with honorary titles.

The only people who can wear the Duke's Medal are the mythical powerhouses.
