79.
The fascist kingdom, the whole territory collapsed.
The Chainas Empire invaded from the Eastern Front, and in just five days, it completely occupied nearly one-fifth of the territory of the entire fascist kingdom. This time, the Cinnas Empire used a total of six first-line main legions and ten second-line legions, and at the same time attacked the royal capital of the fascist kingdom in three ways.
Especially as the main force of the middle lane army, the three main front-line legions commanded by the military god Jason himself, all the enemies encountered along the way basically either fled or simply surrendered, which can be said to be the fastest advance among the three army of the Chainas Empire. However, although the Chainas Empire came with a long-term idea of revenge this time, it did not actually raise a butcher's knife against the common class, but instead attacked the noble class more harshly.
However, this is also a reasonable thing, after all, the nobility of the Chainas Empire already belongs to the status of the ruling class, and it is not as easy as other countries to grant noble status. It can be said that any nobleman in the Chainas Empire is a real status symbol, and the purpose of this expedition to the fascist kingdom is naturally to obtain sufficient interests and resources, so it must be impossible to compromise in the face of the old aristocratic class of the fascist kingdom.
Finding excuses to attack, recall, and banish are common.
This was Jason's more moderate approach, and the reason why the other two armies advanced more slowly than Jason was because they had a deeper hatred for the nobility of the fascist kingdom. Therefore, since we know that surrender will also bring the result of death, no one wants to die easily, and there will inevitably be resistance.
The war that followed was a completely one-sided situation.
And as the war intensified, the countries of the Miracle Continent were betting more and more on the side of the fascist kingdom of the Southern Continent, and many people were paying attention to the final outcome of this war - even if many people already had conjectures. However, after not really seeing the results, there are still many people who do not want to believe that the Peace Assembly has fallen.
They were hoping that this time the result would be the same as before: the Chainas Empire would stop at the Torus Fortress, and the Peace Council would once again come into power.
Within a month, the Cinnas Empire was already approaching the royal capital of the fascist kingdom.
The defenders on the walls of the royal capital could even see the dark spots that had gradually appeared on the distant horizon - that is, the main force of the Chinese army of the Chainas Empire.
But that's not the worst of it.
Truly terrifying. It is a desperate panic that is spreading wildly in the fascist kingdom.
Although the fascist kingdom is trying to stop the spread of this panic, it has had little success - these stupid fellows have not been able to come up with a more perfect and detailed countermeasure to stop the spread of these rumors, even though they know that enemy spies have infiltrated the royal capital.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Peace Council, which has always been relied on as the trump card of the Fascist Kingdom, was actually destroyed by the Death Thorn, and the blow to the Fascist Kingdom is simply unimaginable - after losing the support of the super strong of the Peace Council, it is impossible to stop the Chainas Empire with only the only super strong man in the Fascist Kingdom.
Not to mention, the army from the Void Principality is not easy to mess with: the appearance of two superpowers. It also made the army of the fascist kingdom powerless to resist the invasion of the Void Principality. Especially after the fascist kingdom raised the nominal banner of only conquering the Wyles family, the resistance encountered became even smaller, and even many southern nobles expressed their willingness to defect to the Void Duchy.
However, the Void Principality did not agree with this.
Both Sean and William knew very well that the surrender of these nobles was not sincere, they were just trying to protect themselves.
To put it bluntly, they just want to get a shelter, as long as they can be given shelter. They don't mind whoever the other person is. Of course, this asylum is to preserve their current status, identity, and the rights and resources they have.
This is for the Void Duchy, which in some ways serves the exact same purpose as the Chainus Empire. It's simply impossible.
……
"The army advanced quickly, and there was little resistance along the way."
In the main tent of the barracks, William pointed to the map spread out on the long table in the center, and then said in a deep voice: "But soon we will encounter the first resistance on a large scale. ”
Following where William's finger pointed, Sean looked at the walled city marker drawn on the map: "Torus Fortress? ”
"Well, Torus Fortress." William nodded. His brows also furrowed slightly, "This is the last line of defense deployed by the Fascist Kingdom in the south, and it is the base camp of the Southeast Army of the entire Fascist Kingdom. There are three ancient magic crystal cannons here, and it was because of the three magic crystal cannons that the fascist kingdom was at odds with the Cinnas Empire because of the three magic crystal cannons from the ruins, and this time Diana was in the alliance negotiation with the Chuanas Empire. This includes the fact that after we collected these three magic crystal cannons, they were transferred to the Cinnas Empire. ”
The Ancient Magic Crystal Cannon, after the outbreak of the Ragnarok War, was developed by the Alliance of All Peoples to fight the gods, with extremely powerful attack power, and it is said that even the crystal wall of the Kingdom of God can shoot through the existence. However, this kind of magic crystal cannon consumes a lot of energy, and even in the era of Ragnarok, it must rely on the earth's magic veins to be able to launch, and the interval between each launch is extremely long.
The so-called vein of magic power is actually the vein of magic crystal.
This kind of magic crystal cannon must be directly assumed on the magic crystal vein, and the entire magic crystal vein can be used to fire the magic crystal cannon.
Torus Fortress is an empire-level fortress built on a mountain range, and the veins of magic crystal ore that have been surveyed to be able to mine for thousands of years are directly used as the firing energy source of the fortress magic crystal cannon. This is also the real hole card that the fascist kingdom was able to resist the invasion of the Chainas Empire and support the intervention of the Peace Council: the powerful magic crystal cannon has the ability to threaten the lives of the super strong.
In the face of the magic crystal cannon of the Torus Fortress, Sean will naturally not be unprepared.
At the beginning of the war, the Haytham Institute had already delivered five magic cannons to Sean, of course, for the purpose of testing the power of the cannons.
The magic guide cannon that Sean developed in collaboration with the Haytham Institute was actually an improved product of the magic crystal cannon.
The magic guide cannon uses the power source of the magic guide, which has the special advantages of short firing interval and fast heat dissipation. However, because the power has not been tested yet. Therefore, there is no way to judge how powerful it is for the time being, but it is certain that it is less powerful than the magic crystal cannon, and the range cannot be as far as the magic crystal cannon can be fired at a distance of several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers - the range of the magic cannon is probably farther than the goblin artillery, almost a thousand meters or so.
"There's no way to compare it in terms of range." Sean frowned similarly, "We can only fire at a maximum of a kilometer, but the Magic Crystal Cannon has a more accurate aiming system. So I'm afraid we'll be hit by long-range bombardment once we get into range. ”
"Yes." William nodded, "I also asked Miss Alexis to help with the reconnaissance before, and she has confirmed that this magic crystal cannon is indeed a certain threat to her. …… It may not be fatal, but the result is not something she is willing to bear. ”
"In other words, if you are hit head-on, you will inevitably be seriously injured?" Sean's face was a little unhappy, "The Cinnas Empire actually wants us to deliver three gates?" How exactly did Diana negotiate with the Cinnas Empire? Such assertive diplomacy is not in our interest. ”
"I agreed." William spoke.
"Why?"
"Political tacit understanding." William replied, but Sean knew that William meant "unspoken rules". "The Cinnas Empire just said let's deliver the three gates, but if it is damaged in the war, no one wants this way of force majeure. …… However, for the sake of long-term interests, Neil suggested that we should deliver at least one of them, one of which we could send to the Hyersam Institute for further research, and the other for our own use. ”
"You're in charge." Sean nodded, deciding not to bother with it, "So now the problem." That's how to get our army close to the fortress. ”
"Yes." William's face was also not very fast, "Although I don't want to admit it." But actually, this one really made me feel tricky. Miss Alexis had already tested it, and she felt the danger within ten kilometers, which proved that the maximum range of those magic crystal cannons could reach ten kilometers away, although William had not witnessed it with his own eyes, but I guess that a single shot could probably destroy an army in an instant. ”
"Digging a hole in the ground?"
"The information brought by the magic boy shows. It would be impossible for this fortress to attack by digging a crypt. William shook his head, "Not to mention that the ground of the fortress is reinforced by earth magic, and if you want to dig and stabilize the length of ten kilometers, you can't think about it for a few months." …… Judging by the battle reports received so far......" said at the same time. William also picked up a battle report next to him: "Probably the Chainas Empire will wipe out the entire fascist kingdom, and I'm afraid these three magic crystal cannons won't be able to fall into our hands at that time." ”
"It doesn't look like the Chainas Empire is not very stupid." Sean sneered.
William knew what Sean meant.
The Chainas Empire just wanted to rely on the matter of the Torus Fortress to let the Void Duchy know what the real imperial heritage was: when they were still struggling with how to take this fortress, the Chainus Empire had already ended its war against the fascist kingdom. According to the alliance agreement signed between Diana and the Chainas Empire, once all the fascist kingdoms are returned to the Chainas Empire after the war, then this Torus Fortress and the magic crystal cannon in the fortress will naturally have nothing to do with the Void Principality.
Not to mention, if this happens, the Wiles family will either have been destroyed by the Chainus Empire or have fled, and it is impossible for them to seek revenge.
"Bypass this fortress?" Sean really doesn't have any feelings about the magic crystal cannon, anyway, now that the magic cannon has been developed, even if the Chainas Empire gets the magic crystal cannon, and wants to develop related products that can be used, it is impossible to do it for more than ten years, and in terms of magic technology, Sean's Void Principality has completely exceeded the technological power of this world for more than thirty years.
"At least two months, and the logistical line will be stretched." William rejected the idea again, "When the time comes, we will be in passivity." ”
Sean frowned, staring at the Torus Fortress marker on the map.
"Tell me about your plans." In the end, Sean still sighed heavily, "How heavy is the price we need to pay?" ”
He knew that William must have a detailed battle plan, but the price of this plan was probably extremely heavy, which was why William was so hesitant.
"I'm going to have Ruby lead the Darkblade and a commando team of some elites to join forces with Shena's Crypt Spider to attack." William looked up at Sean, then said, "The price is ...... If the assault fails or the attack fails, the assault force will be killed. In other words, Sheena is likely to die in this war. ”
Sheena, the daughter of Alfred, is now one of the most important figures in the military department of the entire Void Principality.
"What did Sheena say?" Sean knew that William must have asked Sheena.
"Haven't asked yet." But this time, William showed a helpless wry smile, "I know that if I ask her, she will not hesitate." But ......"
"Report to Lord Sean! There is an urgent military letter! Suddenly, a soldier shouted outside the tent.
"Come in." Sean said in a deep voice.
Soon, a soldier walked briskly into the tent and handed Shaun a cowhide envelope that was almost soaked in blood.
Seeing that there was still a strong bloody aura on it, Sean's face changed slightly, because he had already recognized the badge mark on the envelope.
This sigil was not the personal seal of any of his followers, not even any of the sigils recorded in the Duchy of the Void.
The owner of this family crest is the family crest imprint belonging to Asuna.
However, the badge on it is bordered by silver instead of gold, which means that the person who sent the letter is not Asuna, but one of her followers.
Without the slightest hesitation, Sean directly opened the envelope and pulled out the letter paper.
Just by taking a look, Sean's face changed, looking extremely gloomy and ugly, and the murderous aura in his body directly turned into a substance and rose to the sky, tearing open a hole in the tent of the main tent. William and the soldier who delivered the letter didn't notice it for a while, and they were directly overturned to the ground by Sean's strong murderous aura, and then completely alarmed the entire camp, and almost everyone thought that they had encountered an enemy attack!
