The Garold Fortress, in the history of the Kingdom of Dabiang, has the nickname of "the impenetrable gate".

Historically, the fortress has held off more than three direct threats to the survival of Dabion, and no matter how difficult the war, the fortress has never fallen. And the most important thing is that the Garold Fortress has always been under the direct control of the royal family of Dabiang, and every commander of the Garold Fortress is the most trusted confidant of the current King of Dabiang, so the so-called counter-plot will not work at all.

If you want to take the Garold Fortress, you can only rely on a strong attack.

The reason why Asuna was able to take this fortress with only 130,000 troops was because there were more than 100,000 players supporting at that time, so the real strength was actually more than 230,000. But even so, after this battle, Asuna still only had less than 60,000 troops left, and as for the players, 60,000 or 70,000 people lost more than three or four levels, among which three of the more famous large guilds on the side of the Principality of Lane at that time suffered almost devastating blows.

This battle can be called tragic.

However, in a world that has changed history, it is not difficult for Asuna to take this fortress at all.

Because there is a huge gap between the two sides that is completely irreparable: the powerhouse of the Holy Domain.

Asuna has a total of four Sanctuary powerhouses, even though Moro VII even sent the Royal Guards to Garold Fortress for reinforcements, but in the face of the combination of four Sanctuary powerhouses and more than 200,000 troops - including the Tequila Army of the Boulder family, the Hopson Guard of the Hopson family, Asuna's Thundering Edge, Sean's Cecilia Guard, and even the Priest Corps who believe in the goddess of ice and winter, the combat power of these armies is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two. So this war against the Garold fortress can be said to be completely without suspense.

From the first day, Asuna directly launched a strong attack, and even used the advantage of the strong people of the Sanctuary to directly suppress the defenders at the head of the wall. Open a passage for your troops to climb the walls. By the evening of the first day, the first and second outer walls of the Garold fortress had been captured, and Dabiang's army was forced to start fighting on the inner walls.

The war that followed was a sleepless battle to the death.

Then, at noon the next day, the three walls of the Garold fortress were completely lost, and Dabiang's army was forced to switch to the street fighting phase. By midnight, the royal guards of Dabion were almost wiped out, but the Sanctuary powerhouses of the Boulder family and the Sanctuary powerhouses of the Hopson family were also injured as a result, but fortunately they were immediately rescued by the Sanctuary powerhouse of Florence.

As for the Sanctuary powerhouse sent by the Duchy of Lane to aid Asuna, it was because of his eagerness for merit. Although he killed the commander-in-chief of the Garold Fortress and his accompanying guards, he was also surrounded by many sieges, and was finally forcibly killed by the royal guards who fled and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dabion.

It's just that even so, the general momentum of the Dabiang Kingdom has been completely lost, and the fall of the Garold Fortress is only a matter of time.

But Asuna apparently didn't have time to wait any longer. At dawn on the third day, the order was given to withdraw the troops to the defense, and then a fire set fire to the entire inner city of the Garold fortress. The fire burned for three days before it was gradually extinguished. By the time the flames had naturally extinguished, it had been four days. At this time, the fortress of Garold was already charred and black, and in order to prevent being burned to death, Dabiang's army had to choose to withdraw from the fortress of Garrod.

Therefore, it is said that the fortress of Garrod was captured by Asuna in only three days.

But by the time Asuna left the Garold fortress with her army, it was August 21, 1874.

And the kingdom of Dabiang, after losing the fortress of Garold. There are no dangers left in the whole territory to defend, almost all of the terrain is flat, and there is not even a point of terrain that can be used as a defense - unless it is artificially established. Although the kingdom of Dabion still had about 100,000 troops, these were all private soldiers distributed to the nobles in various places and the city defenses under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family. Even if they are forcibly requisitioned and assembled for a while, it is still a question of who will be in command.

The generals who can command the battle, Moro VII has basically sent out of the army, but so far, these generals have not sent the news back, and it is completely conceivable what the fate will basically be. So now Dabiang is already in a predicament of having no soldiers, even if Moro VII roared in the hall of the palace to the point of throwing around, and even killed the heads of four noble families in one day, still no one dared to take the order of this leader.

The end of this war is moving towards an end that is clearly visible to all.

Demon Dragon Ridge, a mountain range that crosses Dabion and the Fascists, this mountain range is said to be a ridge formed by the dragon bone after the death of a demon dragon, of course, few people believe in this legend. But the only thing that is certain is that the settlement of the Kingdom of Dabion here is indeed a very big advantage, because the side of the mountain west of the Demon Dragon Ridge has become very steep and steep, almost all of them are full of strange rocks, and there will be strange fluctuations sweeping by from time to time.

Whenever this strange fluctuation swept through the Demon Dragon Ridge, the powerhouses below the middle rank of the Sacred Domain would temporarily lose their strength, and it usually lasted for one to two days, and only the powerhouses of the upper rank of the Sacred Domain could resist this fluctuation, but their strength would also be weakened because of this. On the side west of the Demon Dragon Ridge, this fluctuation will become particularly strong, and the mountain is extremely steep, so if you want to try to cross the Demon Dragon Ridge and attack the royal capital of the Dabiang Kingdom, it is better to directly launch a national army to attack the Garold Fortress.

This is also the real reason why the Garold Fortress is claimed to be the most rear-back gateway to the royal capital of Dabiang, and the royal capital of the fascist kingdom and the royal capital of Dabiang is only separated by a mountain but has always been peaceful. However, if the Garold Fortress is breached, then the political, economic, and power core of the Dabiang Kingdom will be completely exposed under everyone's noses, and it will completely lose all ability to resist.

Of course, if the royal guard of Dabion was still around, there might still be a fight, but because of the wrong decision of Moro VII, the kingdom's last elite army was buried ahead of schedule - although this force did play its due value, causing Asuna to suffer heavy losses in the Battle of Garrod Fortress, and the army of more than 200,000 was left with just over 70,000 men. But this also completely chilled the kingdom of Dabion.

Therefore, after leaving the Garold Fortress, Asuna marched in a straight line towards the royal capital of Dabiang, without falling into the city.

On this marching route, Asuna had to pass through a total of two noble territories and two royal territories, and all the soldiers in these four territories totaled more than 50,000, and on Asuna's side, there were only three Sanctuary powerhouses left, two of whom were seriously injured, if these troops dared to launch a suicidal attack and counterattack, although in the end they would also end up with a total annihilation, but at least they could fight for Asuna with only 30,000 left.

If that's the case. Then the losses in this war are more than just heavy.

At the very least, the Thundering Edge will inevitably become an army that can only appear in historical readings. The Tequila Army and the Hopson Guard will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and perhaps the Cecilia Guards will face a fourth reorganization.

But unfortunately, these 50,000 soldiers chose to avoid Asuna's march route after hearing about it. Didn't dare to resist at all. This made Moro VII so angry that he smashed valuables worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins on the same day, and the next day after that. A large number of residents began to flee the city. The people of Dabiang, who had never taken the Principality of Lane into account, finally began to choose to accept their fate.

And their actions finally completely angered Moro VII, who had completely lost his mind.

The incompetent king, who aspired to be a virtuous king, finally gave the order to seal the city in anger, and anyone who dared to disobey was to be killed.

On September 2, 1874, a riot finally broke out in the city of Buluo, which had been locked down for three days.

Asuna after hearing this information. There was only a hint of a smile on her face, and her gaze at Simi showed a hint of approval: "This kind of psychological tactics really still have to listen to you." ”

Simi only showed a quiet smile in the face of Asuna's praise. She glanced sideways at William in the tent, and saw that William was staring intently at the strategic map, and a trace of loss flashed in her eyes. But soon, Simi adjusted his mentality again, and said with a smile: "I'm from the Mage Tower, and psychological tactics like this are also one of the compulsory courses in the Mage Tower, have you forgotten that I passed with a high score?" ”

"Okay." Asuna chuckled, "So what's next?" ”

"You can start declaring surrender and not killing." Once Simi became serious, the calmness cultivated in the atmosphere of the Mage Tower also gave her a more solemn and serious temperament, and her whole person became much more attractive, "and began to accept those troops who were willing to surrender." …… But you must remember that whoever obeys King Dabion and wields his sword at his own people will not accept his surrender. ”

"That's ...... Will it worsen the situation? Asuna's brow furrowed slightly.

"No, it won't." Sean, who heard the conversation here, suddenly spoke, "This method is indeed very good, and it should be said that he is worthy of being a person from the Mage Tower." Sean smiled and looked at Asuna, then continued, "We can continue with the way we cast the name. ”

"Vote?" Asuna looked at Sean with some confusion, "What is this?" ”

"It's a psychological tactic." Sean was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had only explained it to William once, and had not explained it to others, and this way of dealing with the thoughts of the people of the Earth Celestial Empire was obviously a little too avant-garde in this world.

"A psychological tactic invented by Lord Sean." William stood up from the strategic map sand table, he had just planted a few flags on this map, so that the red flag happened to completely enclose an area, if you look closely, you can find that this area happens to be not a city, "To put it simply, it is to make the other party have a kind of subordination psychology of the common people." …… To make a simple ratio, if a group of commoners and a nobleman have a little contradiction, then with the power of the nobles, they can naturally easily kill these commoners, at this time, there is a commoner who does not want to die to attack the noble, if there are other civilians to report at this time, then they can get away without risking being hanged. ”

"So the vote is ......" Simi seemed to understand something, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, "This commoner forced other commoners to do something to this nobleman?" In this way, even if someone reports it, then the first person to die is the one who reported it? ”

"Yes." Sean nodded, "So we can use that this time too." …… Anyone who has mutilated his own people. As long as you can prove that you have remorse, you can forgive. If you are willing to fight against those who do not repent, then we promise that the other side will not confiscate their property after the war. ”

"This plan seems to work." Simi pondered for a moment before speaking, "In this case, the city will immediately fall into chaos. Today, there are less than 30,000 defenders in the city, but there are more than 200,000 people trapped in the city......"

Speaking of which, Simi noticed that Sean and William both had that kind of smile on their faces, and she immediately understood that these two guys had already planned how to take the city. And Simi also found that if it was really carried out in the same way as the two of them. They can even take the city without bloodshed, end the war once and for all, and expand the size of their own army.

It's a two-pronged plan!

Simi knew that she still underestimated Sean too much. Although through previous contact with William, she knew that William was a very difficult master of tactics. However, he is also good at tactics, if it involves psychological warfare. Simi thought he could still force William to hesitate. And at that time, he felt that it was definitely not easy for Sean to be able to control such a genius tactician, but he didn't take Sean too seriously.

It wasn't until this moment today that Simi understood that Sean alone could only be regarded as a fierce general at best, and his overall view of the war was simply miserable, while William had a certain overall view of the war. But it's not what he's good at, he's better at using resources to fight back passively, even if he takes the initiative to make a move, it's just to lure the other party to break the silence. But once the two men in front of you join forces, then soon the rules on the chessboard will be immediately changed. Because although these two people cannot far surpass their opponents in the overall situation, they can complement each other perfectly in terms of tactics, forcing the opponent to be completely cornered.

Once these two men join forces, it will be a hundred times more dangerous than if they fought alone!

Simi's heart pounded.

Soon, the tactical plan developed by Sean, William, and Simi was immediately publicized.

And from the moment this battle plan began to be implemented, it was officially announced that the twilight of Dabiang had finally arrived, and it was sinking westward at an alarming speed.

On September 13, 1874, the two armies, totaling 12,000 men, formally surrendered to Asuna.

Asuna quickly settled the two armies, not only did not disband them as a source of reinforcement for her own army, but even registered them, officially declaring that they would be citizens of the Duchy of Lane from this day forward, and that they would also be treated as regular soldiers of the state. Of course, the most important thing is that Asuna did not treat them as cannon fodder or front-line troops, but arranged a second-line support position for them, and the main offensive force was still the main army of Asuna, Hopson, and Boulder.

Seeing this, the armies of the other realms finally began to announce their surrender to Asuna.

Except for the 25,000 garrisons of King Dabion, all the other 75,000 of Dabiang's most reluctant troops surrendered to Asuna.

On September 19, 1874, all the territories of the Kingdom of Dabiang fell, and only the royal capital, which represented the political, economic, cultural and power center of Dabiang, remained without falling into the city. On the same day, the largest riot and conflict in the history of the city finally broke out. More than 40,000 people died in the conflict, but 17,000 guards also paid a heavy price.

By 21 September, only one palace had fallen to Dabiang, and even the other nobles living in the city had chosen to join the rioters. An unprecedented upheaval finally forced thousands of guards to choose to surrender, because it is obviously impossible to defend the palace by relying on them alone, so it is better to choose to surrender than to be killed by the angry residents of the royal capital.

It's just that, even so, it is not easy to take down the palace where the royal family of Dabion lives in one go.

After all, the layout of the palace is actually more like a fortress, as if the first King Dabion had expected such a situation to happen, so the more important the place leading to the palace, the less and narrower the road can pass, and the more conducive to defense will be.

But no matter how much you can defend, you still can't resist the division from within.

On October 2, 1874, after retreating to the palace treasury for ten days, the last king of Dabion, Moro VII, died at the hands of his own sons, and was tragically dismembered by the swords of several of his sons.

At this point, the nearly 400-year rule of the Kingdom of Dabion has finally come to an end, and the war between Ryan and Dabion has finally officially ended. From this day on, the name Dabiang will be submerged in the long river of history, and it will completely become a name that will only appear in history books. (To be continued......)

PS: It's finally over...... This damn war!
