Chapter 1210 Storm is Coming
Wars between countries always start with interests. Even for empires as powerful as Saint Vicoia and Demon Moon, interests are the basis for their attacks on each other. However, after so many years, the long-term battle has made the war between each other more complicated. It is not just out of pure interests. The two powerful countries that exist next to each other undoubtedly regard each other as their biggest threat.
There has been no national war between Moyue and Saint Bizaya for a long time. Small-scale conflicts are just a way for them to vent their tolerance and accumulate national strength. However, they have endured it for so many years. , this time the war is becoming more and more intense.
Saint Vicoia is not afraid of war, and neither is the Demon Moon. These two super powerful empires cannot defeat each other in one battle, and a comprehensive war of aggression cannot be fought in a year or two. Yes, a protracted war will only hurt both sides and leave the country empty of power. Therefore, neither country will really engage in an all-out war of aggression to eliminate the other, especially when each other's national strength is not so weak that it is powerless. War takes time. But they do not mind short-lived confrontations, including launching a large-scale national war to ensure that their country has more interests and voice over surrounding countries.
Duane instigated the Iron-Blooded Prince Zalbog to launch a provocation against the Demon Moon. Although Zalbog’s personal interests were involved in this, for the Saint Bikoa army, which had been in contact with the Demon Moon for a long time, But it doesn't seem abrupt or rash. However, many domestic problems have caused repeated defeats on the front line. The changing domestic political situation has also affected the loyalty of frontline soldiers. But at this time, Mo Yue did not want this war to continue. When Philip Ruhl led the army to fight at the gate of Bell Mountain, King Mo Yue XVII hoped to have a truce with Saint Bikoya, and the truce was against There are indeed great benefits to the current unstable political situation in San Vicoia.
However, Sindmore did not respond to the various truce conditions proposed by Mo Yue. Instead, his various big actions showed that he wanted to have a war with Mo Yue. In response to this situation, Mo Yue repeatedly lowered the conditions for the request. During the northwest war, the Holy Gripen Empire's strong attack made Mo Yue feel the pressure. But the crazy Clemion Radat is determined to fight. He is eager to prove himself. He can't wait to use war to prove his status and prove that he is the true ruler of Saint Bikoa and establish His supreme authority.
Mo Yue does not want to fight anymore. The previous war involving more than a million people was only a regional conflict for Mo Yue. But if the war is really expanded into a national war, facing Saint Bikoya and the Holy Eagle Due to the pressure from both sides of the Lion, even if they win in the end, it will be a miserable victory. The country will be a mess and a disaster. Countless civilians and soldiers will die due to the war, and the entire country is likely to be devastated. But this war cannot be stopped by Mo Yue if he wants to, not to mention that there is a mysterious and completely unknown ‘creation kingship’ involved.
The Seventeenth King was very worried. It was obvious that no one believed in nonsense such as armistice and peace talks. However, he did not want to start a war on two fronts, so he had to use diplomatic channels, contacting various countries between the two countries and the world Various organizations hope to use this to put pressure on Saint Bikoya. On the other hand, they have successively held meetings with domestic ministers to discuss solutions to the current predicament. As for the two-front war situation, the Western Territory was led by Grand Marshal Dean Helen, who led Anmosiddu, and the Grand Magister Bartholomew Bartholomew Ahan was appointed as the deputy marshal to lead an 800,000-strong army for support. Together with Pioneer Christine Harnard and other generals totaled more than 2.6 million people to resist the Gripen invasion. On the southern front, the Seventeenth Emperor did not want to take the lead in expanding the war situation before Saint Vicoia took the initiative to counterattack, but the necessary preparations had been mobilized, in addition to a total of 1.1 million troops drawn from the Demon Moon East Territory and the Capital Guard. The eight great knights of the empire are marching south to present their troops. One of the regiments, the Silver Guard Knights, has also received orders and is rushing behind the Vulkan Mountains. If Saint Bikoya launches a counterattack, the forward general Philippe Ruhl will rely on the Tiancha defense line again. Fight the enemy in the open plains of the Kan region.
On the other side, Silesmon Shadow, who is in Xizela Province, is also preparing for the enemy's arrival on Mount Ilsius. He knew that after Malfia had received the news that Mount Ilsus had been occupied, it would definitely attract the main force of Death Malfia. The treasury under Mount Ilsus was of great significance to Malfia, and as he said As expected, there were a large number of unknown people coming towards Londan from the western border of Sizera Province, from within the province and from other provinces. At this time, Sufina and others, who were one step ahead of Emperor Kui, also entered the territory of Xizela Province one after another. She will join forces with Shadow to strengthen the resistance of Mount Ilsus and strive to attract all the strength of Death Mafia. Come here and buy time for Dikui Potokasijie to arrive.
In Bell Mountain City, the four intercity teleportation arrays have been damaged several times. The constant transfer of troops makes it easy for the magic array to be overloaded. At this time, the mountain city has increased to 630,000 defenders. Although there are usually only 100 to 150,000 permanent garrison troops in the mountain city, this large three-dimensional fortress with a vertical height of several hundred meters once accommodated nearly 1.5 million troops at its peak. The fixed reserves of supplies in the city can be To support an army of half a million for ten years, the city There are four towers in Liguang Tianjian, including the Earth Spear Formation, Flame Bunker, Sky Thunder Tower, Jiguang Tower, Hurricane Vortex Cave, Ice Arrow Tower and other city defense measures. There are no less than a thousand places inside and outside, including magic rock cannons, There are countless war tools such as Thousand-Tooth Crossbow and Iron Crossbow Giant Bed. The strongest thing is that the huge outer walls of this fortress and the main branch buildings in the city are all made of dragon steel stone. Dragon steel stone is not a natural rock, but a specially made rock made of dragon blood and stone steel soil as the main materials. It is extremely hard. To capture this place is almost as difficult as climbing to the sky. Without capturing this place, the Demon Moon Army cannot go south. This is an iron nail.
Of course, it is not necessary to use the blood of a real dragon to make Dragon Steel Stone. Dragon Steel Stone can be made from the blood of all monsters with dragon bloodline. There have always been many businessmen on the mainland who care for monsters with dragon bloodline, specializing in They make money by selling blood, and the purer the bloodline, the more expensive it is. In particular, magical beasts such as dragons and dragon beasts are the most frequently raised. Dragons of dragon origin have many uses.
However, although Bell Mountain City has an intercity teleportation array, the number of troops transmitted is limited, and many incoming troops will still take some time to arrive. The territory of Saint Vicoia is too large. Except for the major cities, it is unrealistic to build intercity teleportation arrays in every town. There are intercity teleportation breaks in many places. This is not only a matter of the cost of building the formation itself, but more importantly, to safely transmit life across tens or hundreds of kilometers, extremely high-purity magic power is required to support its use, and to achieve this kind of magic purity, crystals , at least level 4 magic crystal is required. On the mainland, level 0, 1, and 2 magic crystals are commonly used. Level 3 magic crystals are more expensive and not produced in large quantities. Level 4 magic crystals are even rarer. A small piece of level 4 magic crystal is not enough for the intercity teleportation array, and the size of the intercity teleportation array that can be built is also limited. If the formation is too large, more high-level personnel will be needed. Pure magic power is injected, and excessive magic power injection will exceed the limit that this space magic array can withstand, causing the space to collapse and the formation to be damaged. All of the above are also the reasons for the limited use of intercity teleportation arrays.
However, at this moment, the generals in Bell Mountain City are discussing how to prepare for a counterattack. Now the wounded soldiers in the fortress have been recuperated, and the strength of the troops is constantly increasing, but the enemy does not dare to attack rashly. It's a good opportunity to counterattack the enemy.
No one is more familiar with the plans, strategies and tactics of war than these generals. Bing Zhixie is just a newbie. Here he is only responsible for listening and listening to how they arrange and fight. In fact, he has learned a lot these days. In the past, although he knew that each type of military service has its own specialties, advantages and disadvantages, the meaning of these advantages, disadvantages and specialties was a completely vague concept in his mind. In his mind, the war was a big melee between the various regiments facing each other. But in fact, such large-scale melees and bad battles are rare. Sometimes it seems that the enemy and ourselves are intertwined and chaotic. In fact, the various armies or regiments and teams, and the different types of soldiers are matched and coordinated with each other. of. For example, what kind of cavalry charges infantry to cover up the kill; what kind of sword and spear formation defeats the land cavalry, and what kind of magicians suppress the formation; what kind of shield guards attack forward, and the crossbow archers fire alternately behind, etc. On the battlefield, the flags of the army and the soldiers carrying semaphores, lanterns, and magic signals are all very important. They commanded the commander whether the armies should advance or press back, especially the several tentative attacks on the Demon Moon Army outside the city in the past few days, which made him realize that this kind of real large-scale battle is different from an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people. The differences in military operations.
Moyue's side is also very nervous. Once they reach the gate of Bell Mountain City, they can no longer attack, nor can they bypass the fortress and march south. This is courting death. When the two armies were facing each other, they could not retreat without any reason, because their country had not received any benefits, and they did not want the previous battle to be in vain. Philip Ruhl wanted to give it a try. He wanted to try to attack Bell Mountain City. As a frontline general, he was eager to try this kind of challenge, but he was very rational and understood that with the troops he had now, he could attack Bell Mountain. Shancheng is completely seeking death. Even though he knows that there are not many troops in Shancheng at present, he is already prepared for Saint Biko's counterattack.
...
In the Western Territory of the Demon Moon, in the Gripen Army, Kulizarid turned the ring on his hand, and the slight smile on his lips was filled with a hint of pride and coldness: "Does Saint Bikoya agree? ?”
“Yes, their king Radat personally replied to our envoy and promised us to jointly send troops to divide the 2.4 million square kilometers of the Western Territory of the Demon Moon at a ratio of 37. ." Jaeger said.
"Hehehehe..." Culizalde sneered: "Duane did a good job. Tell him that once the Holy Demon and the Holy Demon fall into the quagmire of war, his mission will be completed to avoid danger. He should prepare a way to escape."
Jaeger said: " There is no need to remind you of this, the Emperor's men are all rats on the ship, and they know best if the ship is going to sink. In addition, the Tsar has arrived in Sindmore, and she has to deal with the Thousand Eyes Stone personally, and Kia... Fried has been thrown into the sea by the Tsar's men"
"Is Maxine going to send him to the shore of the tide?"
"No, directly to Creation Island."
"Send him directly to Creation Island?" Cooley Zarid's eyes flashed slightly, he touched the prickly short beard on his lips, and pondered for a long time: "Well, my beard It’s time to scrape. Go tell Tianjie and Mark Xiuting to increase their attack intensity and attack the Anmosi capital as soon as possible, so that St. Bike’s side will strengthen their confidence in joining us in the attack.”
……
In the conference room, Artimite said: "Although the royal capital has said that a new marshal will be assigned to the front line to command, the specific person has not yet been decided. The king wants us to continue to act according to the current situation, and let Vidmila and I temporarily act as marshals. Command the battle. At present, we have reduced all the peripheral troops to the fortress. There are six in total. There are 130,000 troops, and the number is still increasing. During this period, troops on the opposite side have been gradually replenished. It is estimated that there are more than 1.4 million troops. However, although they have a large number of troops, we have an advantage and they dare not take the initiative to attack. Bell Mountain City, this is good for us.”
"This is beneficial to us, but we don't dare to launch a counterattack rashly." Centaur General Eiffel frowned and said: "Not to mention that our marshal and several generals were captured by them. With only over 20,000 troops, Philippe Ruhr defeated our army of more than 100,000. He chased us all over the mountains and killed several lieutenant generals and major generals. Even General Vidmila suffered so much. Seriously injured. Now the soldiers in the fortress changed their minds when they heard Ruhl's name. The morale of the soldiers was extremely low, which also affected the new reinforcements and lost their fighting spirit. , This battle is not easy to fight. "Eiffel was once a captured general. Although he defeated Mo Yue once in Reina City and successfully broke through, the shadow of being captured still remained.
Kudo was not discouraged, but he was also a little afraid of Ruhr. He said in a rough voice: "I think it is better for us to stay in the city and not go out to fight, and wait for the new marshal to arrive and then listen to his arrangements. So. In the current situation, the country will definitely send top experts, and maybe more than one general. "The knights of the gods, it's time for them to show their strength. Let's wait here." "I don't think so. If you lose the battle, you will be punished. I don't want to be demoted. If possible, we should try." Let's fight back." The person who spoke was a new lieutenant general on the front line, Eagle Doro.
While talking, a sergeant knocked on the door and pushed it open: "Sir, there is a copy of a letter from the capital."
Atimi Te waved: "Bring it here."
The sergeant walked over to the round table and handed it to him.
Artimite smiled softly when he saw the letter: "Humph, Kudo, I'm afraid your idea can't be realized. The newly arrived marshal has been decided, and it is Palles."
Everyone’s expressions changed: “Black Feather Palles!”
“Isn’t Palles stationed in East County? "
Artimite said: "So the letter said that it would take sixteen days at the earliest for him to reach the front line, and during this time the king ordered us not to wait in vain, but to reverse the defeat. And His Majesty the King. We have also reached an agreement with the Holy Gripen Empire to attack Demon Moon from both north and south!”
"Alliance with the Holy Gripen! Is there really going to be an all-out war?" Eiffel asked in shock.
"I'm afraid it's good."
Artimite looked at the time and said: "That's it for today's meeting. Everyone prepares their own armies, and tomorrow we will discuss how to launch a counterattack against the Demon Moon. "
"General Artimite." After the meeting, Bing Zhixie chased him outside and stopped him.
“What?”
Bing Zhixie stepped forward and said: "Give me a team of troops, I think my strength can help you."
Artimite rolled his eyes slightly and said: "Of course, but we broke up before There are still many troops who have not returned, and the new troops are still gathering in the city, so it is difficult to mobilize them. Let’s talk about it in a few days.”
Seeing what he said, Bing Zhixie had no choice but to nod.
Artimite smiled and said: "Your dragon is very strong. With your help, it can defeat an army of 100,000 people."
After dinner, I found Duozi. Duozi is a very healthy and sexy woman. Although she is not particularly beautiful, many people like her. Bing Zhixie received a task before, which was to take care of the wounded who were injured and lost the team. Before this, Duozi He had done it before, and Duozi was now under his command, so of course this task fell into his hands.
Duozi has become accustomed to the current cold reception. Her superior officer was defeated and killed. Genis's army was dispersed, and those who could fight were incorporated into other armies with incomplete establishment. As a female officer, she was naturally affected by Special care is taken in this kind of logistical work. Who said she and Bing Zhixie were both people who needed to be taken care of?
The depth of Bell Mountain City is very high. The buildings and city walls along the mountain wall are connected to the tall main buildings in the city through suspension bridges. Bing Zhixie and Duozi walked to a towering sky through the suspension bridge. Under the Ji An Tower, the black triangular tower is nearly a kilometer high. In the open space on the top of the tower like claws, there is a ball of dark thunder-like lightning energy suspended. It is said that the Tianji Dark Tower is not more expensive than the Eye of Haotian, but it is more powerful and more terrifying than the Eye of Haotian. It is said that it can kill a giant dragon as easily as trampling a caterpillar to death. .
This is not the first time that Bing Zhixie comes here to see the Tianji An Tower. There are many embossed patterns hanging on the black tower. There is a large building at the base of the lower part of the tower. You can directly enter it Entering the tower, all the energy crystals needed for the magic tower are provided inside. And operating this giant tower is not an easy task. It requires six mages to manipulate it.
Duozi looked up at the top of the tower and said: "Marshal Fried once wanted to use the Tianji Dark Tower to defeat Philip Ruhr with force, but the Tianji Dark Tower is such a giant dragon, and Ruhr is not big. It is possible to attack Bell Mountain City. 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 Pales."
