Roar of the Fifty-Ninth Emperor

Moreover, these five temporary infantry divisions were composed of a main regiment and a garrison regiment. Although the combat effectiveness of the garrison is already crushing compared to the rotten army of Arante, these garrison groups are not enough to face the possible army of the Holy Demon Empire.

Most garrison regiments are not equipped with heavy machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns are seriously insufficient. Originally, a garrison was also equipped with two 30mm caliber high-level dual-purpose guns for air defense, but because they captured Naru City, most of these anti-aircraft guns were transferred to strengthen the air defense of Naru City.

After all, whether it was the troops heading south or the troops advancing east, the only way out for the Alan Hill army was Naaru, which was next to Seris City. If something goes wrong with Naaru, the Alan Hill troops that are advancing south and east will be cut off from their retreat.

However, the anti-aircraft guns could not meet the needs of the front line in a short period of time, so the air defense of Naru City was strengthened, and the shortage of anti-aircraft guns in the second-line garrison was even more serious.

The 5th regiment attacking Bude was commanded by Coria. Because they went south earlier, they also took their anti-aircraft guns and the 6th regiment commanded by Bourgeois who had been on standby for a day near Naru City. Division, was drawn away two anti-aircraft guns.

This made Bourgeois a little embarrassed. The combat effectiveness of the 6th regiment of his main regiment was still guaranteed, but the 16th regiment of the garrison regiment, which made up the number, did not have a single anti-aircraft gun.

The 4th Division under Mordelair, who was attacking eastward, was not large, because his attack direction was the eastern city of Wallawa, where the opponent's defense strength was not sufficient, and it was not on the only way for the Holy Devil Empire to counterattack north. , so his pressure is relatively small.

The 3rd Division of the General Reserve, commanded by Wilkes, which has 3 infantry regiments, is not fully equipped with weapons. Only the main 3rd regiment is equipped with sufficient anti-aircraft guns and machine guns. The remaining two infantry regiments have only rifles. and infantry artillery.

The 2nd Division commanded by Vagron shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding Naaru City and cannot be easily mobilized, so he does not know whether to keep the troops dispersed and go south and east at the same time, and then face the counterattack of the Holy Demon Empire. unable to concentrate troops to fight.

Although there are still troops joining the troops going south one after another, but the second-line troops without heavy firepower, Vagron feels that it is not the decisive force in the battle. No matter how many of these troops go south, they can't stop the real Dragon Knight troops of the Holy Demon Empire.

Therefore, even if Vagron's own total strength exceeds 40,000 people, and there are 4 additional soldiers from the garrison regiment behind him, he can only rely on the troops of the 12 regiments in his hand.

"The farthest you can't cross this line! This is our original plan, and it's probably the farthest we can advance..." Vagron gently drew a line on the map, looking at several officers under him , said.

The initial plan, Alan Hill, or Chris never thought of annexing the Arlant Empire in one battle - this is completely impossible, after all, the size of the Arland Empire is at least the size of Alan. Hill's twenty times or more.

The newly established Alan Hill regular army also does not have enough troops to occupy all the cities of the Arland Empire, so Chris estimates that the best situation is to take the entire northern part of the Arland Empire.

His troops could only advance as far as the Bude, Maricha and Wallavo lines, and there was no way to hold on to the fruits of his victory any more: even this line was a relatively optimistic one, the most controllable one. A line far away.

According to what Chris said at the time, the premise of keeping this line is that the Holy Demon Empire did not participate in the war, or did not invest too much troops after participating in the war. If the opposing side decides to fight and sends a large number of troops, Ellenhill will suffer heavy losses.

The worst outcome is not unthinkable,

Once the Holy Demon Empire starts a full-scale war with Alan Hill, it will almost collapse when Bude reaches the front line of Maricha. In the end, the only thing Chris could keep was the scorched-earth city of Naaru, which became the front line.

"Immediately order the liaison officer and bring the order to all the troops! If the cavalry of the Prairie Empire insists on going south, let them continue to go south to buy us time and create strategic depth." Vagron was the only one who got the knowledge magic ball. Military commander, so he can open his mouth to say so many modern military words.

It is also because of the addition and reinforcement of the knowledge magic ball that Chris can rest assured that Vagron will command 5 divisions and more than 30,000 combat troops.

"Right now, we can only wait and see how the Arante Empire fights back!" Waggon said in a loud voice, clasping his chest and looking at the battle map in front of him.

...

In the distant King City of Arrant, a fast horse rushed through the city gate. The pedestrians on both sides avoided one after another. The knight on the fast horse did not mean to slow down, but swung the whip desperately, urging the horse under his crotch to run faster.

Inside the majestic main hall of the Arrant Palace, the emperor of the Arrant Empire, Arrant Hook, was sitting on his throne, listening with a cold face to Prime Minister Clark's report on the battle situation on the southern front.

Because of the relationship between the Holy Demon Empire, General Zon lost his troops and the Arrant Empire failed in its attempt to attack the Dothan Empire. For this reason, it also lost a full 30,000 soldiers and 40 newly built cannons.

You know, these cannons can be said to be made of gold. Every cannon is extremely precious. Losing a cannon will definitely make people feel distressed for a long time. But in the south, Zon lost a full 40 doors in one go...

The problem is that the Dothan Empire has not yet been defeated. The result of the loss of troops in the south is to be forced to cede a piece of land to Dothan to recuperate. Arrant is simply stealing chickens and losing money. In an absolute sense, he lost his wife and lost his troops.

Arrant Hook is waiting for an explanation, an explanation from his royal family General Zorn, and an explanation from the Holy Devil Empire-although he may not be able to hear the latter explanation, but he is indeed waiting for the other party to give him an explanation.

After all, he didn't do anything wrong. The Holy Demon Empire's brazen intervention in the war between Arrant and the Dothan Empire was actually against the rules and needed to be compensated for the Arrant Empire.

"General Moss is leading his troops north. This is the news that came back yesterday... They will soon arrive at the Fallen Abyss River, and they will be near the King City soon." Clark was also holding his stomach at this moment, and he opened his mouth to report. When things happened in the past few days, the voice was a bit harsh.

The favor fee of 50,000 gold coins that Ailan Hill promised to give him this year has not been sent to him yet. If you add the later apportionment, there are the original taxes of the empire, and then the earth castle, Beijun and Hanhai are counted. For the taxes in the three places, Chris has to send him at least 90,000 gold coins this year!

This was something that Prime Minister Clark kept thinking about, so in addition to being ruthless, his report was somewhat absent-minded: he was thinking about the money that belonged to him, the gold coins that he liked.

"Report! Report!" The knight who had just stumbled into the royal city riding on his warhorse finally got off his horse outside the palace and climbed the steps panting, holding up the letter in his hand, shouting loudly.

No one dared to stop the knight, because the scroll in his hand was painted with green paint—that was the flag color of the Arlantean Empire. The meaning of this color was very important, and it had to be delivered directly to the emperor.

When the knight walked to the center of the hall, he fell limp to the ground, and he lost too much physical strength by running all the way. However, he still held the scroll in his hand high, and loudly reported the news that he had read countless times along the way: "Ailan Hill undeclared the war! A few days ago, the Naaru was invaded!"

"Naru?" Emperor Arrant Hook, who heard the news, supported the armrest of the throne with both hands, and seemed to want to stand up, but when he was halfway up, he fell back to his throne.

It is not to blame for His Majesty's gaffe, even in the rich and powerful Arrant Empire, a big city like Naaru, and the surrounding fertile territories, it cannot be ignored. Losing such a densely populated and economically developed area would be very fatal to the Arrant Empire.

Arrant Hook is also forty years old. Ever since he became emperor, he has been diligent and diligent, hoping to be a good emperor for the rejuvenation of the Arrant Empire. Otherwise, he would not support General Zorn going south, nor would he have any thoughts of going north to attack Alan Hill.

It is a pity that the system and officials of the Arrant Empire are corrupted to the root, and it is completely impossible to correct or eliminate them. Therefore, no matter how hard Arrant Hook tries, he has not reversed the fact that Arrant continues to degenerate and decay.

I saw the diligent emperor staring at a pair of eyes that were not too big, looking at the knight who delivered the news, and asked solemnly: "Tell me clearly, what does it mean to invade the Naru? Narulian Haven't defended it for a few days? Was it broken so quickly?"

After the knight heard His Majesty's stern question, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he continued to cry, as if his relatives had died in Naru City: "Your Majesty! The city of Lu... has indeed been occupied by the rebels of Ailan Hill!"

At this time, the emperor of the Arlant Empire suddenly looked at Clark, who was also at a loss, and said with both hands, "I don't know about it yet... The matter of Alan Hill occupying Naaru, we have to Think long term..."

"Then hurry up and discuss!" Arrant Hook, who was already very impatient, slammed on the armrest of his throne and shouted indignantly.
