Chapter 799: No Winner (2)
On June 21st, more than a month had passed since the Battle of the Inland Sea, but during this time, what had happened could be said to have changed the power of the entire King Continent to a greater or lesser extent.
The first is the Battle of Maginot that attracted the attention of all the high-level forces, after all, the King Continent has become like it is now, and 99% of it is related to this battle, but the later stage and result of this battle surprised everyone.
At the beginning of this war, many people speculated whether this war was another victory for the Allies or a victory for the sunset, and the twists and turns in the early and middle stages of this battlefield can be said to have put the hearts of hundreds of countries in the Central Continent in a state of ups and downs.
When the Divine Light Empire pulled the Griffin Empire into the alliance at the beginning, hundreds of forces on the King Continent almost announced that they would send troops to support, and even some forces that had some business dealings with the Sunset Empire began to cut off their relations with the Sunset, or directly chose to stand on the opposite side.
No way, even if they know that the empire of the sun never sets is tens of thousands of miles away, but the mysterious country full of gold and precious stones in people's minds relies on people's desires to drive them to go thousands of miles to loot and plunder the party, in the eyes of the nobles and commoners of those forces, as long as they don't die, they will definitely make a fortune when they come back, and they may even be able to enter the country's high-level through guò's military exploits, and those high-level forces think that only after invading this mysterious country can a group of people be transported back to China, then the rise of the country will not be able to stop, who makes the empire of the sun never set in terms of armor, military industry and other aspects so developed that countless countries covet the sun never sets sophisticated equipment, terrifying war equipment.
But it didn't take long for these countries to send even so-called support troops. However, there was news that the sun never sets, and the coastal area of the central region of the continent and the Holy Light Harbor were burned to ruins by a fire, and they were burned extremely thoroughly. At this moment, all the countries with the Haian line alone are all stupid. And those countries that were originally ready to move have become silent again, as for those who have announced that they will be tied to the alliance chariot, some can only send troops to support, and those who follow more regret it.
And just as people were about to watch a sunset fire burn Griffin Harbor, the disappearing Sunset Fleet once again made all the watchers feel constipated, because some of them began to prepare to celebrate the defeat of the Allies, they basically wanted to break away from the power of the two empires, and now these people were as restless as those who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob the countries that never set. Because as long as the Allies are undefeated, they will have to face the Allied forces that have returned victorious.
But in the end, when June 21 came, a copy of the Emperor Sun Lin who never set, the Holy Light Imperial Saint. When the armistice agreement signed by Elcot and the Griffin Emperor of the Griffin Empire came out, everyone in the King Continent was messy in the breeze, and almost everyone had ten million grass and mud horses galloping through their hearts, and many of the leaders of the King Continent looked up to the sky and sighed: "Don't play like this!" ”
Although the relationship between the two Allied empires before the Battle of Maginot was only ignored, the contradictions between the two empires had actually intensified, and the factors that boiled between the three empires were the official state religion Christianity and the Holy Light religion that the two empires believed in. Although in many respects the teachings of the two religions are similar, and even the two religions agree that people will ascend to heaven after death, the problem is that instead of making the two religions feel sorry for each other, it makes the two religions think that the other is a false sect. And this can also be regarded as one of the fuses of the battle between the two camps.
This was enough to cause numerous problems between the two sides, and the rest of the many factors accelerated the beginning of the Battle of Maginot, which intensified with the fighting of the soldiers on both sides on the battlefield of the Maginot Battle. As long as you are not a fool in this war, you can see that both sides have entered the point of life and death.
But that's the case. At 10 o'clock in the morning on June 21, when the soldiers of the three generals received the armistice order in turn. The roar of artillery died down, the shouts of people were gone, and even the Allied soldiers who had already stormed the Acropolis began to consolidate their ranks and evacuate the forward positions that the Allied troops had previously spent hundreds of thousands of lives on; And when the enemy withdrew, all the Sunset people did not take out their weapons to sneak attack, but knelt down on one knee and prayed to God, and even the Sunset warriors of other religions prayed to their gods, thanking the gods that this nightmarish battle was finally over.
"Then according to the agreement, our sun will never set on us to stop the attack on the Holy Light Empire and the Griffin Empire, and I also hope that you will withdraw from the Maginot Line within 10 days as agreed, and once you are completed, we will proceed to the next stage in accordance with the content of the agreement." In the palace of Qilin City, on the huge rectangular negotiation seat, Morse, who was wearing a white robe representing the side on which the sun never sets, stood up, looked at the two well-dressed men in front of him with a cold face and said, "I also hope that you will abide by the agreement, we don't want the war to ignite the entire King Continent again." ”
Morse is the diplomat who negotiated with the diplomats of the Griffin Empire and the diplomats of the Holy Light Empire, on the surface, he is the new foreign minister of the sunset who was just promoted a few months ago, but secretly, this extremely ordinary-looking sunset diplomat is also the new intelligence director of the Sunset Empire, and before he became the foreign minister and intelligence director, this sunset minister actually has a more famous identity: the Raven Chief.
"Rest assured, as a thousand-year-old empire, we don't need to engage in such small actions yet." The answer was the envoy of the Holy Light Empire wearing a white background and gold edges, and this somewhat young man had a cold expression and a hint of arrogance on his expression. As the envoy of the Griffin Empire who went with him, he barely said a word from the beginning, except for submitting and signing the agreement, as if he didn't care about anything.
But in fact, secretly, these three men representing the empire behind him all have different thoughts in their hearts, as the former. Morse was basically sneering at this guy with a somewhat arrogant look in his heart at this time, and at the same time he also greeted the Holy Light Empire behind the other party by the way. But Morse was more glad in his heart; As for the guy who has been greeted by someone in his heart several times, although at this time he has a posture of holding you down. But his heart was full of uneasiness at the moment, and he was afraid that the empire behind him would not be happy and tear up the armistice agreement, because in the eyes of these people who thought they were the true owners of the King Continent, the foreign invasion of the sun never set had no integrity at all. In the final analysis, the statements and thoughts of the two sides at this time actually came from the Battle of Maginot this time.
The sun never sets because in this battle of Maginot alone, if the sun does not set from a military point of view, the sun does not set has the upper hand: first of all, the first point, and the point that most directly threatens the two empires opposite: although the logistics fleet and the Xiyi fleet were disabled, as the expeditionary fleet with the strongest long-range strike ability, it retained almost complete combat effectiveness and lost the combat ability to sail. But it does not mean that the expeditionary fleet is not capable of striking at the enemy in the Maginot Line, as long as the sun does not set and dares to take the entire expeditionary fleet as a sacrifice, then it can temporarily turn the battle situation into the sun does not set on both sides of the army to flank the Allied forces, although the sun does not set to win, but the allies will definitely be broken; The second point comes from the central region of the Southern Continent, which is far away from the Maginot Line: the battle on the battlefield in the southern region of the Central Continent has already ended before the arrival of June, and Sun Lin decided to change the previous strategy of the Southern Continent in order to increase the bargaining chips in his hands after learning that the Holy Light Empire had the intention of suing for peace and revealed the news to the Griffon Empire.
Prior to this, the Allied cavalry army in the southern continent was defeated and retreated. And in the most critical battle, it was broken in half by Sunset, but Sunset's attack was like an endless locust, and the Allies were a wall of earth, although Sunset was able to tear off a layer of the Allied army's perimeter every time. But the cavalry of the Allied forces, which wanted to destroy in one fell swoop, was unlikely.
First of all, the Allied side was not cut off from the logistics line in the true sense, although the sun never set off the logistics line at sea, but the weak air defense ability of the sun did not have the ability to prevent the enemy griffin troops from carrying supplies from the air to support the troops. Although the amount of supplies provided was not large, it was enough to keep the Allied cavalry alive until the next delivery.
The sun never sets, of course, I also thought of sending a large army to crush it. However, the configuration of the Sunset Cavalry was destined to not be able to disrupt the cavalry's defensive circle in a short period of time: most of the Sunset cavalry were long-range cavalry, while a small number of assault cavalry and combat cavalry could not really defeat the Allied super-heavy cavalry. If you want to fight, you can do it, but this will pay a great price, obviously the situation in the southern region of the Southern Continent does not set, although you want to end it quickly, it does not mean that the sun does not set and you intend to pay too much price for it.
This made a very strange phenomenon appear on the side of the Sunset Cavalry and the Allied Army after the previous battle in the Southern Continent: Sunset wanted to destroy the remaining two troops, but for a certain factor, when the enemy was supplied, only a large number of long-range cavalry were sent to kill the cavalry group on the periphery of the Allied cavalry, and the cavalry unit on the Allied side could get the hope of surviving only at the cost of more than a thousand people each time, and the most important thing was that this cavalry unit could not be erased from the southern region of the Southern Continent like kraft candy, actually dragged the sun on the sun for more than a month with nearly 400,000 cavalry troops, and from this strategy alone, the cavalry unit of the Allied forces can definitely be regarded as a stroke of genius! It's a pity that as the sun doesn't set, he wants to strengthen the chips in his hands, and the sun doesn't set on it, so he can only give up the total annihilation of this cavalry force, which is basically composed of knights of the Holy Light, and instead become, as long as the other party surrenders, the other party's safety will be guaranteed.
After the sun never sets and the goal is changed, the surrender of the Allied cavalry can be described as unusually smooth, after all, these guys were also forced to be anxious because of the goal of the sun never sets, and now they promise not to die, so there is no need for them to continue to fight such a tragic battle. In the end, including some of the allied cavalry who were treated on the battlefield before, Sunset captured nearly 80,000 Holy Light Knights, including more than 100 generals of the Holy Light Empire, and more than 20,000 griffin cavalry with dozens of griffon cavalry generals.
Nearly 100,000 allied knights, and it is a heavy cavalry, or a battle-hardened heavy cavalry unit, if this is given to that kingdom-level strength can make it sweep one side, although the Holy Light Empire and the Griffin Empire have a great cause, they have not yet been defeated to this point, and this captive with an overall price of 13 million gold coins must be redeemed by the allied side, and this is also one of the root causes of the sunset, and it is also the handle of the Holy Light Empire.
The Holy Light Empire itself is actually an empire that focuses on the combat effectiveness of the infantry, or according to the power system within the Holy Light Empire, the Holy Light Sect focuses on the infantry, although the Holy Light Sect also has cavalry, but in fact, the Holy Light Sect itself does not have many cavalry troops, because in the past, it seemed that its own cavalry only needed to reach the number of troops, and the rest only needed to be recruited from those noble classes in the Empire, and even for this reason, the Holy Light Sect also specially implemented a bill called the Knight Order in the Holy Light Empire, that is, those who can be recognized as honorary knights of the Holy Light Sect have the ability to form a knight order.
And the Holy Light Empire cares about the light cavalry troops at all, because they are not nomads, why do they need so many light cavalry, and they can pull out a large number of light cavalry with low combat effectiveness in the name of religion, and these light cavalry are useless in large battles anyway (the general opinion of the Allied side).
But now if you don't get these 80,000 Holy Light Knights back, then the cavalry system established by the Holy Light Empire may be impacted, because in the Holy Light Empire, the super heavy cavalry is the exclusive cavalry of the Holy Empire, and the heavy cavalry is those knights. This may not only lead to problems in the relationship between the Holy See and the aristocracy, but also over time, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry system of the Holy Light Empire will inevitably be affected and weakened by Yan zhòng, Maginot This Holy Light Empire has lost its air combat troops before and after the war, if there is another problem with the cavalry troops, then the Griffin Empire may have to grind its teeth with the Holy Light Empire.
After all, this time the Maginot Battle Griffin Empire was completely pit by the Holy Light Empire again and again without gaining any benefits, and now it has to be posted upside down on the basis of hundreds of thousands of troops, and then a large amount of war reparations, if it weren't for the current turmoil in the country because of the issue of succession to the throne, the withdrawal direction of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Griffin Empire on the Maginot battlefield would not be domestic, but the coastal area of the Holy Light Empire.
"After tripartite consultations, the Empire of the Sun, the Divine Light, and the Griffin Empire have decided to stop all fighting on June 21, and any side that uses force after the 21st will be regarded as a betrayer and become a public enemy of the entire continent. According to the content of the agreement, after the armistice, it is necessary to ensure the safe evacuation of all the millions of Allied troops located on the Nizhny Maginot Line, and release 300,000 Allied prisoners, including the southern battlefield of the Southern Continent, and provide a batch of materials to ensure the safety of the Allied soldiers during the evacuation, and on the Allied side, the Gryphon Empire will give 40 million gold coins for the battlefield compensation, which has included the ransom of the prisoners and the cost of urban reconstruction, etc., and open all coastal cities of the Griffon Empire, and agree that the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce will settle in the Griffon Empire, At the same time, it will return the previously occupied coastal islands in the northwest part of the Central Continent; The Holy Empire will compensate 50 million gold coins for the day, including a ransom for prisoners, and return the coastal islands in the Western Regions of the Central Continent. ”
The above is the price paid by both sides of this negotiation for the armistice, literally the sun does not set is the least paid, but the repatriation of more than 1.3 million fresh troops means that the Allied side can once again launch a battle of the same scale as the Maginot as long as it has been dormant for a few years. The sun never sets will cost nearly 30 million gold coins. (To be continued......)
