Chapter 1208 Coming Wind and Rain
Wars between nations always begin with interests, even for powerful empires such as St. Vickya and Demon Moon, interests are the root of their attacks against each other. However, after so many years, the struggle has become more complicated by the struggle between them, not just for the sake of pure interests, but also for the two powerful nations that exist next to each other, undoubtedly seeing each other as their greatest threat.
There has been no national war between Moyue and S. Bijaya for a long time, and the small-scale conflict is just a vent for them to endure and accumulate national strength, but after enduring for so many years, this time the war has a tendency to intensify.
Santa Bektian is not afraid of war, and neither is the Demon Moon, neither can these two super-powerful empires eat each other in a single battle, and a full-scale war of aggression cannot be fought in a year or two, and a protracted campaign will only defeat both sides and empty the national strength. Therefore, neither country will really fight a full-scale war of aggression to destroy the other, especially when the national strength of the other side is not weak enough to weaken the strength. War needs timing. But they don't mind a short-term confrontation, including waging a large-scale war at the national level, to ensure that their own countries have more interest and say in the countries around them.
Duane instigated the Iron Prince Zalborg to launch a provocation against the Demon Moon, which certainly had Zalborg's private interests, but it did not seem abrupt and presumptuous to the St. Birktian army, which had been in contact with the Demon Moon for a long time. However, many domestic problems have caused the frontline to lose again and again, and the changes in the domestic political situation have also affected the loyalty of the frontline soldiers. At this time, the Moon did not want the war to continue, and when Philip Ruhl led his army to the city of Mount Bell, King Moon XVII wanted a truce with St. Vicia, and the truce was indeed of great benefit to the current unstable political situation in St. Vicia.
However, Sindmore did not reply to the various armistice conditions proposed by the Demon Moon, but his various big moves showed that he wanted to have a big battle with the Demon Moon. In response to this situation, Moyue has repeatedly lowered the conditions for claiming. In the northwest battle, the strong attack of the Holy Gripen Empire made the Demon Moon feel the pressure. But the crazy Clemion Radat is determined to fight, desperate to prove himself. He can't wait to prove his position by means of war, to prove that he is the true ruler of St. Vicia, and to establish his supreme authority.
Moyue doesn't want to fight anymore, the previous war of more than a million people is only a regional conflict for Moyue. But if the war is really expanded into a national war, in the face of the pressure of St. Bikkya and the Holy Gripen, even if Zuihou wins, it will be a miserable victory. The country will be a wolf smoke. It will be a catastrophe in which countless civilians and soldiers will die in the war, and the entire country may be devastated as a result. But this war can't be stopped if the Demon Moon wants to, not to mention that there is also a mysterious and mysterious 'Creation Kingship' that I don't understand at all.
The XVII was worried, and it was clear that no one trusted the nonsense of armistices and peace talks, but he did not want to go to war on two fronts. I had no choice but to use diplomatic channels to contact the various countries between the two countries and the various organizations that passed through Shijie, hoping to put pressure on São Bektia, and on the other hand, holding meetings with the Minister of the Interior one after another to discuss a solution to the current predicament. And against the two-front war situation. The western frontier was led by the generalissimo Dean Helen, who led the army of Ammosidu, and the great magister Basolomi Basowen Yahan was sent as the deputy marshal to lead 800,000 troops as support, and together with the vanguard Christine Hannard and other generals, a total of more than 2.6 million people resisted the invasion of the Gripen. On the southern front, the 17th did not want to take the lead in expanding the battle before St. Vickya took the initiative to counterattack, but the necessary preparations have also been mobilized, in addition to a total of 1.1 million troops drawn from the eastern border of the Demon Moon and the capital protector are moving south, one of the eight knights of the empire, the Silver Guard Knights, have also received orders and are rushing to the back of the Vulcan Mountains, if St. Vickya launches a large army counterattack, the forward general Philip Ruhr will re-rely on the trench defense line, and fight the enemy in the open plains of the Volkan region.
On the other side, the Shadow of Celes, who is in the province of Cizera, is also preparing for the arrival of the enemy in Mount Ilseus. He knew that Mafia had received the news of the occupation of Mount Ilseus, and that he would definitely attract the main force of the dead Maffia, and that the treasury under Mount Ilseus was of great significance to Maffia, and as he had expected, a large number of unknown people were faintly coming to Longdan in the western border, province and province of Cizera. At this time, Sofina and the others, who were one step ahead of the emperor, also entered the territory of Cizerla Province one after another, and she will join up with the shadow to strengthen the resistance of Mount Ilseus, strive to attract all the strength of the dead Mafia, and buy time for the emperor to come to Podo Casija.
In Bell Mountain City, the four intercity teleportation arrays have been damaged several times, and the continuous transportation of troops makes it easy for the magic array to be overloaded, and the number of defenders in the mountain city has increased to 630,000 at this time. Although there are only 100,000 to 150,000 permanent garrisons in the mountain city in peacetime, this three-dimensional fortress with a height of several hundred meters up and down has accommodated nearly 1.5 million troops at most, and the fixed reserves of materials in the city can be used by 500,000 troops for ten years. And the strongest thing is that the huge outer walls of this fortress and the main supporting buildings in the city are all made of dragon steel stone. Longgang stone is not a natural rock, but a specially made rock made of dragon's blood and stone steel soil as the main material, which is extremely hard. It is almost as difficult as climbing to the sky if you want to conquer here, and if you don't conquer here, the Demon Moon Army can't go south. It's a nail of iron.
Of course, firing dragon steel stone does not necessarily require the blood of a real dragon, the blood of all demonic beasts with dragon blood can burn dragon steel stone, and there have always been many merchants on the mainland who serve demonic beasts with dragon blood, specializing in selling blood to make money, and the purer the bloodline, the more expensive, especially the most warcraft such as wurm and dragon beasts. Dragons of dragon blood have many uses.
However, although there is an intercity teleportation array in Bell Mountain City, the number of troops teleported from it is limited, and it will still take a while for many of the troops that are coming to arrive to arrive. The territory of St. Vickya is too large, and it is not practical to build an intercity teleportation array in every town except for the major cities, and many places have intercity teleportation disconnections. This is not only a matter of the cost of building the array itself, but more importantly, it requires extremely high purity magic power to support the safe transmission of life across tens or hundreds of kilometers. And to achieve this kind of magic purity spar, you need at least level 4 or higher magic crystals. On the mainland, the commonly used are 0, 1, and 2 grade magic crystals, and level 3 crystals are more expensive. The production is not much, and level 4 is even rarer. And a small piece of level 4 magic crystal is not enough for the intercity teleportation array, and the size and scale of the intercity teleportation array can be built is also limited, and the formation is engraved too large. More high-purity mana injections are needed, and too high mana injections will exceed the limits that this spatial magic array can bear, resulting in the collapse of space. Formation destroyed. All of the above is also the reason for the limited use of intercity teleportation arrays.
However, at this moment, the generals in the city of Mount Bell are discussing how to prepare for a counterattack, and now the wounded soldiers in the fortress have been recuperated, and the strength is constantly increasing, but the enemy army does not dare to attack rashly, which is a good opportunity to counterattack the enemy.
No one is more familiar with the jihua, strategy, and tactics of fighting than these generals, and Bing Zhiye is just a rookie, and he is only responsible for listening here. Listen to how they arrange and how they fight. In fact, he has learned a lot these days, although he used to know that each type of military has its own strengths, strengths and weaknesses, but what the meaning of these strengths, weaknesses and specialties is completely vague in his mind. In his mind, the war was a big melee between the corps and the regiments. But in fact, this kind of big scuffle, bad battle is rare, sometimes it seems that the dogs and teeth between the enemy and the enemy are very chaotic, in fact, each army or each regiment and each team, those different types of soldiers are matched with each other, cooperate with each other. For example, what cavalry charging infantry covers, what swords and spears are in formation, what cavalry is in formation, what magicians are pressing, what shield guards attack forward, crossbowmen shoot alternately in the back, and so on. And on the battlefield, the flag of the army, the soldiers who play the flag language, the language of lights, and the magic signal are all very important. They commanded the commander-in-chief whether the armies were advancing or pressing behind, especially the several tentative attacks on the Demon Moon Army outside the city in the past few days, which made him realize the difference between this kind of real large army battle and an army of twenty or thirty thousand people.
The Demon Moon side is also very nervous, and when they get to the city of Bell Mountain, they can't attack anymore, and it is impossible to bypass the fortress and march south, which is looking for death. And when the two armies are facing each other, they can't just retreat for no reason, because their country has not received the benefits they have, and they don't want to fight the previous battle in vain. Philippe Ruhl wanted to give it a try, he wanted to try to attack Mount Bell to have a look, as a front-line general, he was eager to try this kind of challenge, but he was very sensible to understand that with the current forces in hand, attacking Mount Bell City was completely looking for death, although he knew that there were not many troops in the mountain city at present, he was ready for a counterattack in St. Vicia.
......
In the west of the Demon Moon, in the Gripen Army, Kulizarid turned the ring in his hand, and the smile on his lips was slightly hooked with a hint of smugness and coldness: "Did Santa Vickya agree?"
"Yes, their king Radat has personally replied to our envoys, promising us to send a joint army to divide the territory of 2,400,000 square kilometers in the western part of the Demon Moon in a ratio of 37. Jager said.
"Hey, hey......" Kulizard sneered, "Well done Duane." Tell him that once the two countries are mired in war, his mission will be completed, and avoid danger so that he can prepare for the back road of escape. ”
Jie Ge said: "There is no need to remind you of this, all of the Emperor's men are rats of the ship, and they know best whether the ship is going to sink or not." In addition, the Tsar had arrived in Sindmoor, and she was to deal with the Panocus herself, and Kea Fried had been sent to sea by the Tsar's men. ”
"Is Ma Kexin going to send him to the shore of the tide?"
"No, it's sent directly to Genesis Island. ”
"Directly to Genesis Island?" Kulizarid's eyes flashed slightly, touched the piercing short beard on his lips, and muttered for a while: "Well, it's time for my beard to be shaved." Go and tell the Celestial Realm and Mark Xiuting to increase their attack, to attack the city of Ammosidu as soon as possible, and to strengthen the confidence of the Santa Peckas side to join forces with us. ”
......
In the conference room, Artemit said: "Although the royal capital said that a new marshal would be assigned to the front to command, but the specific who to send has not yet been decided, and the king wants us to still use the current situation to let me and Widmila temporarily take the position of marshal and command the battle." At present, we have reduced all the forces on the periphery to the fortress, a total of 630,000 men, and it is still increasing. During this period, there were also replenishment of troops on the other side, and it is estimated that there are more than 1.4 million. However, although they have many troops, we have the advantage. They did not dare to take the initiative to attack the city of Mount Bell, which was very beneficial to us. ”
"It's good for us, but we don't dare to fight back. Eiffel frowned and said, "Not to mention that our marshal and several generals were captured by them. Philip Ruhr had defeated our army of more than 100,000 with just over 20,000 troops in the Yanovo Mountains, chased us all over the mountain, and killed several lieutenant generals and major generals, and even General Widmila was so seriously wounded. Now the soldiers in the fortress city are shocked when they hear the name of Ruhr. The morale of the military has fallen to the extreme. The soldiers were frightened, and it also affected the new reinforcements, and they had no will to fight. It's not a good battle. "Eiffel was a captured general, and although he defeated the Demon Moon once in the city of Reina and broke through the siege, the shadow of this capture remained.
Cudo was not discouraged, but he was also a little afraid of Ruhl, and he said in a rough voice: "I think we might as well stay in the city and not fight, and wait for the new marshal to arrive." In the current situation. The country will definitely send top masters, and maybe more than one general. Demon dancers, god knights, it's time for them to show their strength, so let's wait here. ”
"I don't think so. If you lose a battle, you will be punished, and I don't want to be demoted. If we can, we should try to fight back. "It was a new lieutenant general on the front line, Eagle Doro.
As he spoke, a sergeant knocked on the door and pushed it in: "Sir, there is a letter from the king's capital. ”
Artemit beckoned, "Take it." ”
The sergeant walked over to the round table and handed it to him.
Artemit chuckled lightly when he saw the letter copy: "Hmph, Cudo, I'm afraid your idea won't come true." The newly arrived marshal was settled, and it was Palais. ”
Everyone's faces changed: "Black Feather Palais!"
"Isn't Palais stationed in East County?"
"So the letter says that it will take sixteen days for him to reach the front at the earliest, and during this time the king has ordered us not to wait in vain, but to redeem our defeats. Moreover, King Bixia has also reached an agreement with the Holy Gripen Empire to jointly attack the Demon Moon from the north and south!"
"Is there really an all-out war with the Holy Gripen?" exclaimed Eiffel.
"I'm afraid it's good. ”
Artemit looked at the time and said, "That's all for today's meeting, each of us will prepare our own armies, and tomorrow we will discuss how to launch a counterattack against the Demon Moon." ”
"General Artemit. After the meeting, Ice Evil chased him out of the room and stopped Artemit.
"What?"
Bing Zhiye stepped forward and said, "Give me a team, I think my strength can help you." ”
Atimit's eyes rolled slightly, and he said: "Of course, but there are still many troops that have been scattered before and have not returned, and the new army is still gathering in the city, so it is not easy to draw, let's talk about it in a few days." ”
Seeing him say this, Bing Zhiyi had no choice but to nod.
Artemit smiled: "Your dragon is very strong, and with your help you can reach an army of 100,000." ”
After eating, I found a lot of color. Duozi is a very healthy and sexy woman, although she is not particularly beautiful, but many people like her, Bing Zhixiao received a task before, that is, to take care of the injured and lost the team, which Duozi had done before, and Duozi is now under him, so of course this task fell into his hands.
Duozi was accustomed to the cold reception of the present, her commander and boss were dead, Gunnis was scattered, and those who could fight were incorporated into other armies that were not fully staffed, and she, as a female officer, was naturally given special care to take on this kind of logistics. Who told her and Bing Childish to belong to the people to be taken care of?
The depth of the city is very high, along the mountain wall buildings and city walls are connected to the tall main buildings in the city through the suspension bridge, the two of them walked to a towering dark tower through the suspension bridge, the black triangular giant tower is nearly a thousand meters high, and the open space like a minions on the top of the tower is suspended with a cloud of lightning energy like a dark thunder. It is said that the cost of the Heavenly Dark Tower is not more expensive than the Eye of Haotian, but it is more powerful and terrifying than the Eye of Haotian, and it can easily kill a dragon, as simple as stepping on a caterpillar.
It's not the first time I've come here to see the Sky Dark Tower, the black tower is hung with a lot of reliefs, and the lower base of the tower is a very large building, and you can directly enter the tower when you go in, and all the energy crystals needed by the magic tower are provided inside. And it is not easy to operate this giant tower, it requires six mages to fiddle.
Duozi looked up at the top of the tower and said: "Marshal Fried once wanted to use the Sky Dark Tower to force force and defeat Philip Ruhr, but the Sky Dark Tower is such a dragon, and it is unlikely that Rull will attack Bell Mountain City, and it seems that the only way to deal with his Holy Eye Golden Shield is to wait for the arrival of the new Marshal Black Feather Palais." ”
