Chapter 940: Chapter 940: Dangerous Plan
"The Maxim Empire has attacked Fort Alendin."
Aslan's answer made everyone's faces change slightly, and even Duke Medea put away her usual laziness.
"Do you need help?"
Arturia asked.
With the speed of Melo's Royal Knights, coupled with her knight skills, she can rush to Fort Alendine at the fastest speed.
Aslan shook his head and said.
"It's just a matter of time to see if Fort Alendin can achieve its intended goal. The Fifth Army of Aggevin has been reorganized, and he will personally take charge of it. When necessary, troops can be sent to support Fort Alendine."
Seeing that Aslan had other plans, everyone did not continue to delve into this matter.
Their current frontal enemy is the Free Magic Alliance in the magical capital.
The meeting was held against the defense line arranged by the Free Magic Alliance. The fortification system built by the Free Magic Alliance in its northeast border area to prevent the invasion of the Merox Empire a long time ago is called the Moratti Line of Defense.
The Moratti line of defense began to be built two years ago, and it was basically completed recently. Its cost was as high as five hundred million gold coins.
The main body of the line of defense is hundreds of kilometers, and the main part is in the Principality of Tivir in the east of the magic capital.
Made of magical concrete, it is very strong. Due to the high cost, it only defends the border of the Merox Empire. Inside the defense line, there are various cannons, trenches, forts, kitchens, magic towers, hospitals, factories, etc., and the passages extend in all directions.
Due to the rugged terrain of the Bruden Heights on the border of the Principality of Tivel, it is not easy to move and fight. If you want to go around, you must pass through the largest defensive fortress in the Magic City. It is a super fortress that took more than ten years to complete in the Magic City. Not much worse than the main city, the strongest magic shield generator in the city of magic is also placed there.
"Unless you use a forbidden spell, it's impossible to beat Moratti's line of defense." After reading the defense map of Moratti's line of defense, Arthur gave an affirmative answer.
Artoria also nodded in agreement.
"Aren't the airborne troops too?" Rachel asked.
"There are not enough transport planes and airborne troops, too few will only be eaten by the Free Magic Alliance, too many cannot afford it." Nuomili added.
She is Gwennaville's mother in name, and she knows much more about the weapons and equipment of the empire than others.
The industrial system of the Melox Empire has gradually taken shape with the assistance of the Bluestar Brammy Federation, but it will take a few years to fully develop. Although the production of steel has increased significantly every month, the face of The demand for steel from all walks of life is still unsatisfactory.
Especially the establishment of the naval fleet, which is a big consumer of steel, Gwennaville even asked Nomiri to come forward to help with deployment.
It can be seen to what extent the eldest princess Gwennaville lacks steel.
Today, the annual steel output of the Melox Empire is as high as that of the Kingdom of Cleveland for a century, or even more.
"No, the transport plane will give priority to ensuring the supply of Fort Alundin," Aslan said.
When everyone heard it, they collectively said "oh", and then looked at the map by themselves, and no one dared to speak again.
Moratti's line of defense lay in front of him, and it was too difficult to break through. He had to take a detour to face the even more terrifying Campno Fortress. It was impossible to invade the magic capital from the Ottoman prairie, and this place would become a meat grinding ground for both sides.
Aslan was also lost in thought. The once-famous Maginot Line on Earth soon came to mind. The reason why the Maginot Line was breached by the German army at that time was not because of the strength of the German army's equipment and combat effectiveness. Sneak attack.
Due to the rugged terrain of the Ardennes Highlands on the border between France and Belgium, it is not easy to move and fight, and Belgium opposes the construction of a defense line on the border, so the French army did not take more precautions, but it never expected that the German army would break through.
In May 1940, the German army lured the British and French allied forces to support the Netherlands, and then attacked the Ardennes Heights, and joined the Dutch and German forces to besiege the allied forces in Dunkirk. The Maginot Line also lost its effect because of the German attack on its back.
As Arthur said, if you want to take Moratti's defense head-on, unless you use the super lethal magic of the forbidden spell, otherwise it is impossible to break through Moratti's defense with the existing weapons.
The only detour is blocked by the even more terrifying Campno Fortress.
"Headache!" Aslan muttered dissatisfied.
This means that outside Moratti's line of defense, the United Army also needs to construct a line of defense to block the attack of the Free Magic Alliance.
"Is there no trail?" asked Aslan.
Madam Sharon shook her head and said, "No!"
Aslan tapped the map with his fingers, and the only sound in the meeting room was the sound of Aslan knocking on the table.
After a long time, Aslan's eyes shot out.
"Yes!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Aslan.
"It's decided. We will wipe out the Free Magic Alliance Army on the border in one go, and fight it into the territory of the Magic Capital." Aslan said confidently.
Everyone was stunned for a while, but Aslan picked up a pen to work on the map, and quickly drew various lines within his own defense line.
"This is?" Arthur was the first to understand, and looked at Aslan in shock. He might have already guessed something, but how could it be done?
"Your Majesty! How sure are you that the Free Magic Alliance will take the initiative?" Arthur asked.
"As expected of Arthur, he immediately saw my plan." Aslan said with a smile.
Aslan looked at the photo not far away, on which was Alonso who had fought Cu Chulainn.
"Isn't this already available?"
Arthur understood, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, in that case, will you be in too much danger?"
Upon hearing that Aslan might be in danger, Nuomili stood up and said, "This plan doesn't work."
Duke Medea also nodded in agreement.
"That's right!"
Aslan was immediately embarrassed, and didn't know how to speak for a moment. Finally, Arturia waved her hand and told all the officers in the tent to leave, including Mordred.
Only the three real wives were left, and they looked at Aslan with sharp eyes.
"What's your idea?" Duke Medea said dissatisfied.
Aslan said something in a low voice, Artoria's eyes lit up, Nomiri's face was ashen, and Duke Medea fell into a brief thought.
"This is the best way. Maybe it will hurt the vitality of the Free Magic Alliance." Aslan said.
After several times of military expansion, the Free Magic Alliance now has a scale of two million. This is also the limit. If it continues to expand, it will only reduce the combat effectiveness of the Free Magic Alliance. Therefore, the Magic City has also expanded a second army similar to the National Defense Force. Super Troops - Free Magic Coordinated Army.
The number of Free Magic Allies on Moratti's line of defense exceeds 500,000, and a quarter of the magic capital's elite are here.
