Chapter 646: March and Mobilization
After dealing with the Evil Eye of Chaos, Cassius used magic to contact Lump who was thousands of miles away, but he suddenly discovered that when he wanted to find Lump, nine different coordinates appeared.
Trump’s “work doubles” have increased again?
The corner of Cassius's mouth twitched slightly, but he felt that this was a reasonable thing. After all, in addition to ruling the vast occupied area of North IJssel, he also had the task of mobilizing the army recently.
Soon, an ugly face with a strong aura of a social animal appeared in front of the red dragon. There was a thick pile of documents piled beside him, which seemed to be half a person tall.
As usual, Trump lowered his head respectfully and weakly greeted: "Good day, my noble and great master."
Seeing the dragon-veined ogre's hollowed-out appearance, Cassius was a little worried that one day he would suddenly die suddenly, so he consoled him in a gentle tone: "Rump, I have worked hard for you these past few months.
The empire has just entered Fianso, and there are too many things that need to be dealt with in terms of economy, policy, social security, intelligence, and diplomacy. Once it enters the normal mode in the future, you should be able to relax. "
This kind of concern is usually due to the dragon's concern for his own property. If Trump suddenly disappears one day, who in this huge empire can be as loyal as him - and work hard without complaint?
Under Cassius's "kind condolences and care", Trump's face was moved and his eyes became moist, but his face looked even more ugly and curious.
Sure enough, no matter what actions an ugly creature makes, it will only become more and more uglier. Fortunately, Cassius's resistance has improved a lot after seeing the Madam Fungi and the Evil Eye of Chaos, which attack people with their appearance. .
Then, the dragon-veined ogre's eyes became determined again. He shook his head slowly and said, "Master, this is what I should do. It is my responsibility as the prime minister of the empire. I should thank you for giving me this The right opportunity
At the end of the sentence, his tone became excited again, and his throat trembled slightly: "For the great blueprint of the empire to conquer the world, no, to conquer the multiverse, I am willing to dedicate everything - even my life!"
Seeing his dependent self-defeating in a few words and becoming excited again, Cassius nodded with satisfaction and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this ogre is really a natural beast.
Later, Cassius asked: "What is the status of the imperial army? When will it arrive at Avendeldan?"
Trump confidently replied: "Three days, only three days are enough. The war has not passed long, and our main forces are stranded in the North IJssel area, so they can be mobilized easily.
According to the investigation of the Imperial Intelligence Department, today's Alpine Dwarf Kingdom has just experienced the depletion of war and is internally empty. What's more, we still have your Avendeldan city defense map, and those dwarves are not afraid at all.
After a short discussion, the Imperial Senate made a decision to send only 30% of the troops to Avendeldan, and the rest were still stationed in various places in North IJssel, so as not to cause chaos in the occupied areas. "
Cassius asked casually: "Who leads the army in battle?"
"It's General Dror. Marshal Dollo is also in charge of the affairs of the North IJssel Military Region. Although he strongly recommended himself this time, the Senate did not agree to his proposal." Trump replied in a calm tone.
"not bad."
The red dragon nodded slightly, blew out a puff of sulfur-smelling white smoke, and stretched its wings.
Dror, Marquis of the Empire, Dragon Veined Great Goblin, Doro's confidant, and one of the representatives of the imperial military forces. Cassius was quite familiar with this name.
Trump accurately pulled out one document from the tall pile of documents, used magic to remove the seal on it, opened the document, and compared it with the report: "In this special military operation, the empire will send 60,000 infantrymen. One hundred and fifty-four tanks, 464 flying dragons, and a total of 8,500 engineering and logistics troops.
At the same time, we have issued a war order to summon the Starfall Legion in the North IJssel region. It is expected that more than 50,000 Starfallers will serve as reinforcements. "
Hearing this arrangement, Cassius sighed in his heart. Although the Burning Ember Empire did not use all its strength, it was already overwhelming the current mountain dwarf kingdom.
As the "solid ally" and "eternal friend" of the shield dwarves, Cassius knows the internal situation of the mountain kingdom very well.
After Zeror led the old, weak, women and children to migrate, there were only less than 30,000 dwarves left in Avendeldan, and even at their peak, the population was not as large as the number of troops sent by the empire.
The sophisticated weapons that the dwarves were proud of were nothing compared to the torrent of steel from the empire.
Whether it is the quantity, quality or equipment level of the army, the empire has an unquestionable and crushing advantage.
The only thing worthy of attention is the high-end power of the Alpine Dwarf Kingdom - the famous "Lord of the Mountains", the legendary dwarf warrior Ed.
Soon, Trump also mentioned this: "According to the information you gave and the information collected by the imperial intelligence department, Gruumsh has recently launched an attack on the dwarf pantheon. The dwarf gods should have no time to take care of it. Material plane.
But Ed Klein, as a legendary dwarf warrior close to a demigod, should not be underestimated. Therefore, Misha will go with the army, ready to take action at any time to suppress the high-end power of the dwarves.
Of course, if the dwarf gods come, Misha, as your warlock, can call you to descend on Avondeldan at any time to ensure the victory of the empire. "
"You have considered it very carefully. Keep going. I hope you can take Avondeldan as soon as possible, and then launch an offensive against the Ugo grassland to completely destroy the Red Blood Tribe."
Casius nodded again, supported his body with his sturdy forelimbs, slowly stood up, and said with a smile: "But now I am looking forward to the arrival of the dwarf gods. ”
To get from North Ethel to the northeast, you need to go upstream along the Courtney River and pass through a rather wide and long river valley, which is also called the "Metal Road".
Merchants would buy ores, precious metals and sophisticated weapons from the dwarves, and sell them downstream along the river to the former Fadlan Empire.
At this moment, this "Metal Road" has become a temporary military passage for the Burning Empire.
The ground trembled, the mountains roared, the rivers trembled, thick smoke filled the valley, and the birds in the mountains were startled and flew away in panic.
The empire's steam tanks were seen moving in groups at the front like migrating beasts, and their engines emitted a dull roar like beasts, and everything in their way would be ruthlessly destroyed.
The two-legged dragon flapped its wings in the sky in a mess, making a sound The hoarse howl, like a dense cloud, casts mottled shadows on the ground.
In the crowd of dragons, the wyvern leader Smaug waved his broad dragon wings, raised his head and roared fiercely, commanding the dragons.
"Roar--"
The powerful dragon power emanated, causing the birds and beasts in the surrounding mountains to flee in panic.
At this moment, Smaug, after experiencing multiple rounds of dragon blood gifts, has reached a body length of 25 meters, comparable to a middle-aged or even old red dragon!
And under the transformation of the ancestral dragon blood, it is covered with hard red scales, and its appearance is not much different from that of a real red dragon. If you ignore the feature of only two feet, even dragon scholars can hardly tell the difference.
And Cassius, out of some of his own bad taste, specifically mentioned that he would send the wyvern leader Smaug to participate in this war.
Dwarf People, Lonely Mountain, golden treasure, Smaug, this is the configuration that Cassius is familiar with.
Behind the tank corps and the dragon corps are the imperial infantry who are marching quickly. They are all elite soldiers who have just come down from the battlefield. They are not only well-armed, but also have a very high fighting spirit.
Among these infantrymen, a full 20% of them have dragon blood to varying degrees. Scattered scales often appear on the surface of their skin, and their vitality and desire to fight are much stronger than ordinary people.
Following at the end are the empire's baggage troops and engineering troops, but those huge steam locomotives full of ammunition and military rations, and engineering vehicles carrying iron bridges, still give people a full sense of oppression.
The empire's army marched vigorously, making a lot of noise, and almost did not conceal its whereabouts, which made the surrounding forces terrified.
And in such a Under the battle formation, no one dared to block the Imperial Army without a long eye - even the most brave and fearless Harper Alliance only dared to secretly collect intelligence in the surrounding mountains and forests to spy on the whereabouts of the Imperial Army.
The staff of the Imperial Military Department planned very accurately. In three days, no more, no less, this terrible army arrived at the Gavin Basin south of Blackrock Mountain at a very fast speed.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Empire could even see the majestic fortress built on the mountain in the distance - Awendeldan.
The flags of the Burning Empire fluttered in the air, and the Imperial soldiers gathered together. The loud "Song of Cassius" and "Song of Triumph" echoed on the plains and resounded through the clouds.
In the sky, hundreds of two-legged dragons kept circling, raising their heads and roaring in unison, which looked magnificent.
The Earth Elf Marshal Delor stood on the top of the "Emperor's Fury" tank and inspected the army he brought with high spirits.
In fact, even he himself did not expect that he would get such an opportunity to lead the army to launch such a major war - this should have been the privilege of Marshal Doro.
Drol was originally an ordinary hobgoblin leader. He began to follow Doro when he was still a hobgoblin warlord. Soon, Drol joined the Burning Embers Nest and rose with the conquest.
Today, Drol is already an imperial marquis, an imperial army general, and the second-in-command of the military. It can be said that except for the supreme emperor and the three dukes, this hobgoblin has climbed to the top.
But now, a new opportunity has come.
When the Senate announced the resolution to send him to Avenderdan, Drol only felt his heart pounding and his whole body trembling - even when he was almost killed on the battlefield, he was not so nervous.
The reason is simple. This is a great opportunity for Drol to take the last step - from general to marshal, and from marquis to duke.
Although Doro's face was a little ugly, Drol still resolutely took the scepter symbolizing the imperial military power from Rump's hand.
At this moment, the earth elf general raised his head and looked up at the sky, as if he saw the incomparably majestic and majestic figure of the red dragon again.
He not only had to fight this battle, but also had to fight beautifully. He wanted to prove his worth to the emperor and get the gift of the great red dragon!
Thinking of this, Drol couldn't help but clenched his fist, and the red scales on the back of his hand were clearly visible.
Then, Dror lowered his head, looked around, looked at the emotional faces of the Imperial soldiers, and slowly opened his mouth - and his speech would be conveyed to tens of thousands of ears through the magic loudspeaker.
"Soldiers, people of Emperor Burning Ember! Today, we gather here under the emperor's supreme will to fight for the common goal-the great blueprint of the empire!"
Suddenly, countless people's eyes focused on the dragon-veined hobgoblin, and Dror enjoyed the feeling of being admired and respected.
Dror pulled out the golden saber from his waist, pointed at the dwarf fortress in the distance with the shimmering tip of the sword, and roared menacingly: "That fortress, Avendeldan, is the next target of the empire's conquest!
This fortress is known as the 'City that Will Never Fall'. It has withstood countless attacks for thousands of years, but has never fallen. Neither the barbaric orc tribe nor the prosperous Fadland Empire has been able to stop these groups. The dwarves surrendered. "
Droll paused and his tone became passionate: "But - we are different!
Everyone, look at your scaly bodies and the equipment in your hands. We are the army of the Ember Empire and the subjects of the great Red Dragon!
The use of steel and artillery fire allowed the dwarves to see the emperor's supreme will, making these stubborn guys completely surrender! "
Finally, Dror raised the saber in his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Long live the Ember Empire! Long live the great Red Dragon!"
"Long live the Ember Empire!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
For a moment, artillery fire roared, the flying dragon roared, and the ground shook.
The faces of all the imperial soldiers present were filled with extremely proud and proud expressions. They waved their weapons wantonly and let out fanatical shouts like mountains roaring and tsunami.
This sound echoed in Gavin Basin and spread throughout the Blackstone Mountains, making even the dwarves of Avendeldan tremble.
At the top of the dwarf palace, hearing the shouts coming from the distance, Ed suddenly turned his head, his expression became extremely solemn, but also revealed a hint of joy.
He stretched out his hand, gripped the heavy metal warhammer tightly, and whispered, "It's finally here. The Ember Empire, I want to see what the capabilities of this army that conquered North IJssel in lightning speed are like!" (End of chapter)
