"When Cecilia and the others come over, it might be a little too late, right?" William's brows furrowed slightly, what happened this time was really beyond the expectations of all of them, so that he was completely unprepared, and naturally there were no emergency measures, "Now Lord Asuna's side has also launched a counterattack, it is said that the first to be eliminated is the Howard family's troops, and the entire 50,000-strong coalition army was almost wiped out overnight." ”

Hearing William's words, Sean's brow furrowed even tighter.

Because he found out that the truth was indeed as William said, after Cecilia and the priesthood arrived here to join them, according to Asuna's strength, I am afraid that the southeast theater will basically be swept away. After all, this lord is the Marquis of Tonyske, one of the future military presidents of the Duchy of Lane, and the most likely to become the seventh Valkyrie to take over the title of "Sword of Lane".

The thundering Valkyrie, Asuna. G. Evans.

But if you don't wait for Cecilia and the Priest Corps to arrive, the situation is quite complicated for Sean's army now, after all, they have just reorganized and absorbed Cazeth. Prince Hodgdi commanded three legions. Although the establishment is broken up and mixed into the three main army corps, in fact, everyone knows that these people are just cannon fodder, and only those who survive after experiencing this war of annihilation can really become members of the three main army under Sean.

In this way, William of course also knew that if he did not have enough ability to suppress these surrendered soldiers, then once civil strife broke out on the battlefield, it would definitely be an extremely fatal loss for them.

Because according to the original strategic plan that Sean, Hela, and William had discussed, it was Hela who went to Anqi. Nugus negotiated, and in response to the different results of this negotiation, William and Hela naturally prepared several different sets of contingency plans. This is also the reason why Cecilia and the Church of Ice and Winter did not attack with the army this time. Even Sean was ready to turn over the second hole card.

In the plan, as long as the negotiations break down, then Panda Ling will have to face a large army that has fully invaded the northwest noble circle of Dabiang in the southern theater, and at that time, the Void City will definitely not be able to stop this menacing force, even if the Void City is now under the command of Cecilia, Theon and the entire Priesthood Regiment. So basically, Sean, William, and Hela are all mentally prepared to give up two-thirds of the territory of the Southern Theater once the negotiations break down, anyway, as long as Void City does not fall, it doesn't matter to Sean that other places are completely lost.

One Neshawn was convinced that he would eventually be able to fight back one by one, but at that time it was not the Dabion army that he needed to guard against. It's the Lane Army.

Of course, if the negotiations are successful, then the situation will naturally improve, and then the real bad luck will be those nobles in the Northwest Theater. Anyway, since they dared to sell the Southern Theater of Operations, with Sean's temper, of course they didn't mind selling out the entire Northwest Theater completely. Shaun wouldn't even mind selling the Duchy of Lane - of course, he knew that it was impossible, after all, there was Tonis Fortress in the way. Take the present situation of the kingdom of Dabion. It is absolutely impossible to capture this fortress.

So in the end, the conflict broke out either in the Northwest Theater or in the Southern Theater.

However, as long as Hela can negotiate successfully and secure that this outbreak is not in the Southern Theater, then once Sean uses blitzkrieg attack tactics to take Cazes. As soon as Prince Hodgdi arrived, they would be reorganized, and they would be sure to split up in two within two days. All the way back to the Void City. then the defensive line was laid out directly at the junction of the Northwest and Southern Theaters; The other army, with William in command, went directly east into the southeast theater to support the combined forces of Asuna, the Boulders, and the Byddy family.

These are the two core strategic objectives, but the specific tactical formulation will certainly change according to the actual situation on the battlefield.

However, no matter which strategic objective is planned, it is based on the situation of chaos in the Northwest Theater. Because only in this way can Sean and the others be free to roam around this chessboard without being restricted by the rules of either side. Otherwise, he must take into account the attitude of the nobles of the northwest war zone in Dabiang, after all, this is involved in Sean's next series of plans, but now the appearance of this intelligence document in his hand finally made Sean, William and Hela feel a little caught off guard.

Because of this incident, they are now in a very passive situation in the entire Southern Theater.

Now this battle is not fought, and it is not fought.

And even if you want to fight, you don't know how to fight and where to fight.

Asuna's southeast theater obviously doesn't need reinforcements, since she can completely remove the Howard family from history overnight, then it will be easy for Asuna to end the southeast theater where Dabion does not have any advantages, so Sean and the others naturally turned from the original charcoal in the snow to the icing on the cake; As for the Northwest Theater, because of the previous rout that was close to a total collapse, the counteroffensive launched by the Northwest Theater, which is now full of anger, is naturally extremely fierce, and if Sean and others go to support at this time, let alone anything icing on the cake, it will be simply a tiger's mouth.

So Sean and the others were all at a loss.

"Who do you think is going to do it?" But at this point, William asked.

"What?" Sean was stunned for a moment.

William gestured to the document that Sean was still holding.

"It's hard to say." Sean, who came back to his senses, frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke, "There are definitely not many people who can do such a thing in this world, at least the Duchy of Lane will definitely not be able to do it, if it can be done, it will completely destroy the Dabion Kingdom in the war more than two years ago, let alone become a vassal state of the Millennium Covenant Empire for so many years." ”

"If you can really do this, you should be able to easily change the pattern of the entire continent, right?" William asked again.

"Except that the pattern of the Seven Great Empires may not be able to change, there is probably really no country that can resist this change, even those extremely powerful kingdoms cannot withstand such attrition." Sean nodded slightly, "It's useless to worry about this kind of thing now, anyway, we just need to do what we need to do." …… You don't need to go to the Northwest Theater, so let's ask Asuna if she needs help. I'm worried that the fascist kingdom will intervene at this time, after all, this kind of thing can't be hidden, and soon the surrounding countries will also know the news. ”

"Indeed." William nodded, he also knew that this kind of thing could never be hidden, at most, because of the problem of intelligence channels, he could not be heard at the first time in wartime, otherwise, with the special messaging tools carried by these military intelligence spies who spy on intelligence, it would only be a blink of an eye to transmit the news back to his superiors.

Soon, these important people who came with William left with William, after all, William and Sean had already discussed the results, so naturally there was no need for them to express any opinions and opinions here. But that's it. Everyone also felt that their previous behavior was really a bit stupid, because a group of them rushed over in a hurry.

But at this moment, Sean didn't have the heart to pay attention to the mood of these people.

His right hand holding the intelligence document in his hand tightened slightly, almost crushing it.

Sean really doesn't know who did this?

Quite the opposite.

He not only knew who did it, but even what the other party was thinking!

However, the other party acts completely on his own thoughts. It also disrupted many of the plans that Sean had discussed with William before. But can Sean blame the other party for doing something wrong? Apparently not.

Ultimately. Or is he too slow.

So Sean's rage. It's more about anger that comes from a sense of powerlessness in oneself.

But Sean quickly suppressed this anger, he knew that because of this incident, the entire national war would end at least two to three months earlier, and if those grandsons in the Northwest Theater were faster, maybe they could completely capture the capital of the Kingdom of Dabion in three months at most, which was a full ten months earlier than the war that William and others expected to last more than a year.

From this point of view. It's also a good thing for Sean himself.

It's just that there are pros and cons in everything, and Sean's decapitation tactic of using the teleportation magic array to teleport over long distances may be said to be a major invention of the world's technological reform, but such things as described in the intelligence documents cannot be explained simply. Maybe in the future, all countries will regard the Duchy of Lane, which is about to be upgraded to a kingdom, as a powerful kingdom, and even the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire and the Chainas Empire will regard the Kingdom of Lane as an imaginary enemy, which will definitely not be a good thing for the Kingdom of Lane.

At least, it wasn't a good thing for Sean, who was now completely attached to the kingdom of Lane.

There is no other reason than a sentence written on the first page of the intelligence document.

"All the Sacred Domain powerhouses in the Dabiang Kingdom will disappear within a week."

As we all know, there are a total of seven Sanctuary powerhouses in the Kingdom of Dabion, but one of them clashed with the Thundering Edge led by Vivien when he was in the Savage Lands before, and escaped with serious injuries; And the second was directly fought to the death by Florence relying on the crowd tactics of the strong. And then the rebellion of the Boulder family is equivalent to taking away a holy domain powerhouse in disguise.

Therefore, it is equivalent to saying that at the beginning of the war, the Kingdom of Dabion was already one place behind the Duchy of Lane in terms of the powerhouses of the Sanctuary.

At this point, though, the kingdom of Dabion reacted very quickly.

Because they directly put a Sanctuary powerhouse into the northwest theater, the southern theater because of the Cazes. Because of this, Prince Hodgdi did not invest in the Sacred Domain powerhouse, and there was also a Sacred Domain powerhouse left behind in the Southeast Theater, and the only remaining Sacred Domain powerhouse on the surface was naturally responsible for guarding the palace. So in the face of the Dabiang Kingdom that put on this tactic, the Duchy of Lane, which was one step behind, could of course only be arranged in this way, but the only difference was that the Principality of Lane directly took Sean's Southern Theater as a victim and appointed Dawyn instead. Söder. Shabo went to the southeast theater, and then in the northwest theater, he also put a sanctuary powerhouse to protect Asuna, and there were still three Sanctuary powerhouses left in the country as a mobile movement.

Of course, Sean is extremely unhappy with such an arrangement, but what qualifications does he have to ask for or say?

He's nothing more than a baron.

A baron tried in vain to become the commander-in-chief of a war zone, which naturally caused a strong backlash in aristocratic circles.

If it weren't for Andrew, let alone holding on until the outbreak of war between the two countries, the Savage Land would have been enough for him to die in the desert. So I want Sean to have some sense of belonging to the Duchy of Lane. This is very difficult, because strictly speaking, his relationship with the Duchy of Lane is nothing more than some kind of mutually beneficial relationship, not even as close as his relationship with Asuna.

Later, Sean learned from Beth that Andrew had intercepted and killed a Sanctuary powerhouse who had entered the Southern War Zone, and at the same time forced out a Sanctuary powerhouse hidden by the Nugus family. It was also at this time that Sean learned that in addition to the seven Sacred Domain powerhouses on the bright side, there were actually five Sacred Domain powerhouses whose strength was at the peak of the lower rank and close to the middle level.

It's just that because of the selfishness of the nobles, these holy domain powerhouses didn't show up at the beginning. After all, these four Sanctuary powerhouses are all the most rearly hole cards in their respective families. If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to reveal his existence at all - just like the one in the Nugus family who was cut off by Andrew from the laws of the world, if Hela hadn't been captured directly by Sean, he might have been hiding forever.

Therefore, on the actual battlefield, there are two Sacred Domain powerhouses in the Northwest Theater and three in the Southeast Theater. The Southern Theater also secretly infiltrated one.

But it's a pity that these six Sacred Domain powerhouses are now. Including the two who stayed in the palace. All were disposed of by Andrew.

Now it is equivalent to saying that the Kingdom of Dabion does not even have a holy domain powerhouse!

Judging the overall strength of a country, the number of strong people in the Holy Domain and the strength of the strong occupy a very large proportion, even if these strong people in the Holy Land generally exist as a strategic threat, but as long as there are these strong people, then the war will definitely be limited to a small area of fighting. So any national war. Whoever fights to the bottom of the battle will die first, and it will basically be announced who is the winner of this war.

And now, the kingdom of Dabion does not even have a strategic threat, so does this war still need to be fought?

The commander-in-chief of the North-Western Theater of Operations, Davin, after discovering this. He immediately launched a counterattack without hesitation, and he himself went into battle himself. In just one day, the army of the Kingdom of Dabion was completely defeated, and then in the next week, the previous victory of the Kingdom of Dabiang was completely defeated, if nothing else, Sean believed that in two months, the army of Dabion would directly attack the fortress of Garrod.

Once this fortress is taken, the kingdom of Dabion will no longer have any danger to defend, and it will only be a matter of time before it falls.

As for the Southeast Theater commanded by Asuna, because of the existence of two Sanctuary powerhouses, Sean was sure that she would end the war in the Southeast Theater even faster than Dawen. However, because the southeast theater continues to the east is the border with the fascist kingdom, and to the south is the Broken Dragon Valley, where the third garrison is located, so even if Asuna ends the war in the southeast theater, I am afraid she will not dare to rush north to take the Garold fortress.

And the person who caused all this situation, or gave such a big gift to the Duchy of Lane, was naturally Andrew.

Only a person like Andrew, who completely ignores the existence of the laws of the world, can do such a crazy degree.

Sean knew that Andrew couldn't wait.

Because of the agreement between him and Andrew, there is less than half a year left, and if he doesn't end this war within half a year, then he will not be able to provide him with any protection, so Andrew had to hasten the end of this war.

It's just that Sean didn't expect Andrew to use such a simple and crude way.

Sighing slightly, Sean was suddenly shocked: "If this war ends in four months...... That was October 23, 1874! This date...... Wasn't that the day the first expansion in the game was announced? What the hell is this...... Coincidence or, the inevitability of history!? ”

At the beginning of the game, the war between Ryan and Dabiang was initiated by Asuna, although Asuna was injured and retired due to various accidents in the middle, but in the end, Asuna personally broke through the Garold Fortress, and then directly took the royal capital of Dabiang, completely ending the history of this country.

That day was October 23, 1874!

And in this world, although the war was provoked by Sean, it can even be said that he did it deliberately. But judging from what Asuna did, it was precisely because she went to the palace of the Duchy of Lane that the war officially broke out, so the history recorded in the history books will only say that Asuna initiated this national war. If you put these into the history of the original game, then it will also be surprising to find that the day when Asuna was forced away by William was in mid-April 1874, and then it was not until early June that he found time to launch a counterattack, and captured the most rear-back portal of the royal capital of Dabion in late August - Fortress Garrod.

At this moment, the trajectory of the timeline is exactly stuck on June 17, 1874, and Asuna, who has been suppressed in the tequila domain, has launched a counterattack, and on the night of June 16, 1874, she almost completely annihilated the 50,000 army commanded by the Howard family!

History is developing with a striking degree of similarity! (To be continued......)
