Chapter 1013, the Silent Battle Line, the Appearance of the Evil God Army!

The royal capital.

The war mobilization began, and the nobles in the entire royal capital entered a state of nervousness.

And when the news of the victory in the first battle on the Hastings border came.

The entire king fell into a carnival.

Even the king ordered a banquet.

However, Fang Yuan was not as optimistic as the natives.

The only ones defeated in the first battle were one of Hasting's Praetorian Guards.

And that's not all.

Although he killed a legendary guard commander.

But this is not the case for the Five-Nation Alliance on land.

This loss is not worth mentioning to the Evil God.

When the royal capital fell into a carnival.

Fang Yuan was checking the battle report in his hand and planning the logistics at the same time.

No matter what era of war it is.

The battle is always about logistics.

Soldiers who were damaged in battle can be replenished quickly, and families who died in battle can be compensated as quickly as possible.

Replace damaged equipment promptly.

All of this determines the outcome of a war.

Especially now the five-nation alliance between the Alpha Kingdom and the Evil God.

In terms of strength comparison, they are basically evenly matched.

Only when the mutual consumption is almost the same, the chance of decisive victory will appear.

And this process of consumption is the key to victory.

Although currently in terms of military strength and logistics, the Evil God's side surpasses the Alpha Kingdom controlled by Fang Yuan.

But in fact, the difference in strength between the two sides is not that big.

The main thing is to control the country.

Fang Yuan has the puppet potion, and the sixth prince of the capital has legal reasons for ascending the throne.

In addition, in the battle of the royal capital, the rebellion was quickly put down.

Using iron and blood, he completely controlled the Alpha Kingdom.

It took another three months to complete control of the nobles.

The Alpha Kingdom is now united.

All power was used in foreign wars.

There is no internal division or rebellion.

The allied forces of the five countries seemed powerful.

But the contradiction between royal power and divine power has always existed.

Moreover, Heidi was transferred for three months and placed spies.

Successfully separated the rebel forces.

Previously, the evil god gathered superior power and wiped out Hasting's resistance at lightning speed.

It originally shocked the resistance armies of other countries very well.

The rebels in the remaining countries were desperate and ready to surrender.

But now!

The first battle on the Hastings border battlefield failed.

Let them see hope again.

Information sent back from various places is displayed.

Negotiations between the rebels and the royal family have stalled.

The intervention of the Alpha Kingdom gave the originally powerful five-nation coalition a rival enemy.

And this enemy is the mortal enemy of the gods.

There is no possibility of compromise with the gods.

Then the coalition forces of the five countries will definitely concentrate their efforts on the Alpha Kingdom.

The rebels are safe for now.

It also gives them the opportunity to ride on the fence.

Otherwise, if you surrender now, you will be dragged to the battlefield and become cannon fodder.

The nobles in the resistance are not stupid either.

They will all consider their own interests.

Such a comparison.

The contradiction between theocracy and royal power within the five countries still exists.

The rebels are still there.

And the Alpha Kingdom is united.

Even the Five-Nation Alliance has greater numbers and stronger logistics.

But Fang Yuan is still convinced that the strength of both sides is actually about the same.

He never fights an unprepared battle.

Now that the entire Alpha Kingdom has been mobilized.

Fang Yuan has already considered all aspects of this matter very clearly.

"Your Excellency."

"This is the latest information coming back from the front line."

"After we won the first game."

"Resistance forces from various countries have sent envoys to contact us."

"Expressed willingness to cooperate with our operations on homeland."

"But we are asked to promise that after driving away the evil god, we will still support the original royal family."

Fang Yuan was not surprised by the resistance army's request.

And he happily agreed.

As for what happened after the war.

hehe!

The sword was in the hands of the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom, and he had no control over it.

Speaking of which, the evil gods should also know the impact of losing the first battle.

At this time, they should start actively formulating a counterattack plan.

But they actually did not carry out a deterrent attack on the rebels.

Let these nobles who are trying to sit on the fence realize who is in control of them.

Not only has it not been done now.

They also asked these rebel nobles to take the initiative to contact their side.

It's the evil gods who are very cautious and don't dare to act rashly.

Or are you making other plans?

Fang Yuan was also guessing the purpose of the evil gods.

At this time, Christian came over.

"Your Excellency."

"This is the mobilization information of the Evil God Legion in the direction of Hasting."

"After the failure of the first battle."

"Hasting's Border Corps is on the move frequently."

"An estimated 150,000 elite troops have been assembled."

"A new commander of the Guards has been dispatched to the capital of Hastings, bringing 60,000 Guards to the border."

"Basically all of these 210,000 troops are Hasting's standing army."

"As for the troop mobilization on the Evil God's side, we have not received any news yet."

"There is a piece of information that talks about the main cavalry from the other four countries leaving Hastings."

"Returned to his own country."

"This information seems a little strange to me."

"At this time, they should not gather superior forces to break through in the direction of Hastings."

"Why did the troops suddenly disperse?"

"You don't think that Hasting's 210,000 troops alone can stop our army."

Christian was also confused.

It seems that the war has turned into a simple border conflict at this time.

It does not involve the main forces of the Five Nations Alliance and the Evil God participating in the war.

Fang Yuan's doubts also lie in this.

Now both his side and the evil god should be speculating on each other's intentions.

On our side, there are currently only two battlefields open.

Hastings Border and Sea.

Maybe the evil gods can't guess from which direction their real main force will attack.

after all!

He has assembled heavy troops on the borders of the five countries!

And at this time.

The only way to break the situation is to fight a war of annihilation.

Destroy the opponent's mobile forces.

When the opponent's troops are weak.

The main force of the Evil God had to take action.

At that point, their purpose will be exposed.

same!

The evil god is also average.

They are fighting a war of annihilation against themselves, and which side destroys more mobile troops.

Which party is less likely to be exposed.

"Christian."

"The current war is still a trial by both sides."

"The main force will not invest."

"Still focused on using the indigenous legions to consume each other."

"Next time."

"It depends on who can't bear it first and use the main army he brought."

Fang Yuan pondered a little.

There are only 210,000 troops currently assembled on the Hastings border.

Also lost the first battle.

It was a good opportunity to annihilate Hasting's indigenous army in one go.

Forcing the evil god to expose his main force.

Think of this.

Fang Yuan immediately spoke.

"Pass the order."

"Let Guderian lead the legion, look for opportunities, and annihilate the Hasting Mobile Force."

"Invade the Kingdom of Hastings."

"Forcing the Evil God Legion to show up."

"Yes, Your Excellency Lord!"

After the order was issued, Fang Yuan looked outside the castle.

The royal capital was abuzz with lights and feasting.

The nobles were immersed in the joy of victory.

Fang Yuan's gaze looked far away, as if he wanted to penetrate the space.

Falling on the border.

He murmured quietly.

"I played my cards."

"Now let's see if you can catch it!!!"

On the border.

After Guderian got Fang Yuan's order, he immediately started to send troops.

Armed with accurate information, they gained a lot.

A few days ago.

Heidi sent a message.

Five hundred nobles from the capital of Hastings went to the front line to inspect.

Prepare to formulate further battle plans.

After getting the information.

Guderian personally led eight hundred knights to bypass the opponent's defense zone.

They went more than three hundred miles deep into the Hastings border and stopped these five hundred nobles.

Just an hour's time.

Five hundred nobles and three thousand elite guards were defeated and annihilated.

Armed with alchemical crossbows, they only had to stand and fire volleys.

All exposed targets.

No one can stop it.

And among the nobles killed this time, there was unexpectedly a big fish.

He is the newly appointed commander of the Royal Guards in the royal capital.

Originally, he wanted to use his identity to lurk among the nobles.

To avoid being found by Alpha's spies.

But what I didn't expect was that the border knights were raking grass and hunting rabbits.

Collect his big fish together.

Without the commander of the Praetorian Guards, Hasting's front line was in chaos.

Guderian got the news.

Orders were given to storm Hasting's castle defenses.

It only took two days.

The border was pushed forward three hundred miles.

More than thirty city-states were captured.

After the Hastings royal family was forced to urgently appoint a duke to lead the entire army.

Only then could he withstand the attack of the Alpha army.

But because of this, an entire line of defense that had been built so hard was lost.

Those castles were all digested by Guderian and became the territory of the Alpha Kingdom.

This was Heidi's first big gain in providing accurate intelligence.

Three days ago.

Heidi got another piece of new information.

Hastings in order to retake the line.

Two hundred alchemists were dispatched, carrying tens of thousands of alchemy puppets to support the front line.

To get rid of them in advance.

Guderian organized the largest mobilization to date.

Fully 20,000 border knights participated in the operation.

Both sides suffered heavy losses in this battle, but the results were extremely brilliant.

After this battle.

Hasting gave up the attack completely.

Switch to total defense.

Because Guderian did not have the help of an alchemist.

There were less than ten alchemists, and all the alchemy puppets were destroyed.

The 30,000 elite Hastings infantry escorting them were all wiped out.

Guderian personally led the Border Knights and broke through Hasting's proud infantry defense line from the front.

The Border Knights endured the huge casualties caused by the Alchemy Golem.

At a distance of one hundred meters, almost all the alchemists were killed with dense alchemical crossbows.

This battle completely established the reputation of Guderian and the Border Knights.

Let the nobles of Hastings know for the first time.

A star has risen in the Alpha Kingdom.

The achievement here is of course Guderian's super military command ability.

But Heidi's information was also of great help.

And the reason why they were able to grasp the other party's intelligence was the fruit of the victory in the first battle.

When Fermi was annihilated, Hasting's rebels were rescued by the way.

These rebels were all nobles of Hasting.

Although their territory was lost and their families died.

But as a family that has been operating in Hasting for hundreds of years.

Their network of relationships has already spread throughout the kingdom.

Like capillaries, it is impossible to remove them.

As long as the nobles are alive, they can find relatives in Hasting.

And the nobles often pay attention to blood.

Moreover, there are many nobles in Hasting who are dissatisfied with theocracy.

After seeing Alpha intervene and win the first battle.

They began to have other thoughts.

After the nobles' guarantee.

These nobles successfully became spies lurking in Hasting.

With their help!

Heidi began to rebuild the intelligence network.

At the same time, there were also people who originally belonged to the rebels of the three princes of Hasting. They did not all die. They were basically absorbed by Heidi and became his spies.

In just a few days.

Heidi went deep into Hastings' defense line.

Weaving a huge intelligence network.

This time, Heidi not only used puppet potions.

She also inserted the Demon Eye into the front-line command of the Hastings Legion.

Almost all the actions of the Hastings army were controlled by Heidi.

This was a one-way transparent war.

And the accurate intelligence immediately brought huge gains to Guderian.

However, the war did not have a huge turning point because of the two victories.

Hastings' nobles were not stupid.

After giving up the attack, they began to rebuild a new defense line.

A large number of castles stood on the border.

When Hastings' cavalry no longer appeared on the front battlefield.

At this time, the war became a simple tower-pushing game.

To win, you must destroy the opponent's stone castles.

And these castles usually have a hundred people stationed, but they store enough supplies to survive for ten years.

To break such a castle.

Mobilize a large army to surround and attack fiercely, lose three times the number of people, and it can be captured in three days.

But on the defense line, Hastings built hundreds of such castles.

And the number is still increasing.

The war between the two sides began to turn into a battle of destruction.

After realizing that if the losses continued, he would go from advantage to disadvantage.

He quickly stopped the attack.

At the same time, he sent a letter for help and asked the capital to send alchemists for support.

To deal with such a stupid tactic.

Just some alchemy puppets are needed to easily blow it up.

But most of the current alchemists are doing research with Lilith.

So Fang Yuan did not send them to the front line.

But as long as there is a need, they can provide support at any time.

Before the alchemists arrived.

The border line that was supposed to be a big battle.

Soon became silent.

While Guderian was waiting for the alchemists' reinforcements.

The commander of the Hasting Kingdom was also waiting for their reinforcements! ! !

El Fortress.

The command center of the Hasting Kingdom's front line.

At the same time, it also became a line of defense to block the invasion of the Alpha Kingdom.

It was already late at night.

But the fortress was under martial law.

All the guards were the most loyal royal knights of the capital.

They drew their swords and strung their bows.

They stared at the outside of the fortress with a solemn face.

The previous series of defeats had made these elites lose their edge.

Originally, they thought that this war would end with their arrival as before.

The two sides entered the negotiation phase.

But plans cannot keep up with changes.

Unexpectedly, the border army of the Alpha Kingdom was so fierce.

Twice in a row.

Killed the commander of the Hastings Royal Guards Knights.

Then flattened the defense line and defeated them.

Before they could react.

The troops were already heading straight for the fortress.

The castle lost in front was fine.

It was not like they had never lost it.

The Hastings Kingdom had lost it before.

At worst, they could find an opportunity to fight back later.

But the El Fortress was different.

Once it was captured, the loss would be huge.

Because behind the fortress was Hastings's richest province.

Once conquered by the Alpha Kingdom.

Hastings Kingdom will lose its source of troops, money and territory.

At the same time, this is a large plain, and attacking along the plain.

It is very easy to reach Hastings' capital.

He had no choice.

The newly appointed Duke could only use the stupidest strategy to defend the line.

A large number of castles were built to stop the enemy.

But this method can only stop them for a while.

Once the Alpha Kingdom sent alchemists to come.

These small castles can be easily solved by just a few alchemy puppets.

Now it's just a time difference.

The legion that really wants to stop Alpha.

Still needs reinforcements.

Real elite reinforcements!

"Where are the reinforcements of the messenger of God?"

On the castle, the newly appointed commander, Duke Dalton, had white hair flying in the night wind.

He looked out at the dark night outside the city.

At the same time, he asked the attendants around him.

"Sir, it's almost there."

As soon as the voice fell.

In the darkness.

A legion of soldiers covered in black robes quietly entered the fortress under the cover of night. (End of this chapter)
