Chapter 152 Dividing the Enemy

The flawless, streamlined hull looks like a work of art.

Who could have imagined that this was a ship of disaster that devoured the lives of a large number of strong people and almost turned the second largest port of the empire into a dead port?

Who could have imagined that a young man could reverse bad luck, slay demons, and turn it into the temporary flagship of the Church of Light and Night?

Who would have imagined that because of this ship, the empire lost a princess, an entire naval family, and almost lost a marshal?

There are too many grudges between the Admiralty and the [Caribbean] that cannot be sorted out, but even without those things before, Marshal Dewey just glanced at the ship's position in the Beyonder fleet, and immediately knew that this was not something he could afford. ferry.

Outrageous!

It's actually in the flagship position.

The armed transport ships of the Knights of the Guardian of Light are guarding the Caribbean, while the medium-sized warships of the Church of the Storms are in the outer circle.

Isn't it?

Those who have the ability to deal with the war knights of Bolivar, and who have some interests in Bolivar, there are only two or three large churches. The samsara religion has withered, and naturally it is the Lord of the Storm and the Twin Goddess.

But the mortal commander of the opposite Bolivar [Rose Knight] was very thief. Knowing that he had no navy, he was a bachelor after killing the troops and settlements arranged by the empire in the port. The nearest unit was also at least 20 kilometers offshore.

There are only some innocent civilians who are unwilling to leave their homes on the coast, as well as an unknown number of spies.

This made the suffocated Imperial Navy useless and turned into a transport captain.

And the Imperial Army is also in trouble. Unless the Empire intends to kill all the 'obedient people' who hang the Imperial flag on their doorsteps, the movement of the Imperial Army can't be concealed at all.

The key is that the entourage of the opposing war knights doesn't talk about martial arts at all, and shoots at mortal soldiers at will.

According to the default rules of the Orthodox Church, Beyonders are not allowed to attack mortals, otherwise they will be strangled by the Orthodox Church.

Everyone is a cult. If you are afraid of your orthodox church, you will not come to the Knights of Apocalypse.

Therefore, the Imperial Army, which was urgently transferred, did not dare to go up.

First, they lacked supplies. Second, the number and quality of the powerhouses were not good. If they went ashore, they would be slaughtered. In the end, the military had to come to the orthodox church in a low voice.

"Please do your best to kill the evil and destroy the [War Knight] Guxin!" Marshal House, the commander-in-chief of the army, ran to the Knights of the Guardian of Light.

As a result, the other party said: "It is my responsibility to fight against the demon army, but killing a single powerful enemy is the judge's business. The order I received is the commander-in-chief Abner Miller Inquisitor who will fully cooperate with this operation. . Please look for him."

So House ran up to the [Caribbean] again.

As soon as he got on the boat, he did not brag or blackmail, and House was really envious to the death.

A battleship is just a little bit of space. As a marshal, Rao lives in a small suite of 20 square meters. This is already a great luxury on a warship full of artillery and other weapons.

People are more mad than people.

Looking at the cruise ship, it is spacious and bright, with a swimming pool and an opera house, not to mention the super luxurious large suites on it.

Thinking that the Imperial Princess was also on board, House was so envious.

What is outrageous is that their flagship will definitely not be able to beat this [abnormal] armed cruise ship with its own defensive fog.

In a small banquet hall on the ship, Marshal House saw the three judges headed by Abner. The strange thing was that the one sitting on the main seat was the legendary hero Mark.

Seeing this battle, House immediately understood that the Navy was not wronged.

However, those guys in the navy jumped into the ditch, what does it have to do with our army?

As if nothing was wrong, Haus walked forward enthusiastically and bowed slightly without pretence: "I am the commander-in-chief of the army in charge of the empire's crusade against the rebels, Marshal Haus, and I have met all the senior officials of the orthodox church."

Well, those who are in the right position will naturally be treated well.

"Please take a seat." Mark waved his hand, and his entourage naturally moved up a chair and let Haus sit in the direction of Abner's strike.

"thanks."

"Tell me about the situation."

House greeted his adjutant and hung up a military map: "Bolivar is a large island country. The main island of Bolivar is about 10,000 square kilometers. Most of them are hilly areas. In fact, it is not too troublesome to fight. The problem is that None of our legions can withstand the attacks of the retinues of the Apocalypse Knights. The other party has the strength to easily kill one of our legions overnight. I wonder how many elites the Orthodox Church can send to cooperate with the actions of our army?”

Abner said indifferently: "Three Inquisitors, 80 Punishers, and 150 Night Watchmen. With His Excellency Destiny and his followers, that's all."

"This..." Marshal House was worried: "Even if you add the Knights of Apologetics, why does it sound like you can at most ensure the safety of one of our legions?"

"One Inquisitor is enough to kill your entire division." Inquisitor Anthony said coldly.

The organization of the Wright Army is a bit like the modern army on Earth, with a division of about 10,000 soldiers, plus a brigade of 300 Beyonders, and about 13,000 logisticians.

The three divisions together constitute a reorganized army.

It's not a joke that a Sequence 5 judge wants to kill all the members of a division, it's purely a matter of time.

"Yes yes yes. Of course I know that, but that doesn't make sure the army is deployed!"

"To fight an indigenous rebel army, how much army do you think you need?" Judge Tony grinned slightly.

House was stunned.

Of course, he knew that, excluding the Knights of Apocalypse, if he brought in a hundred thousand troops to exterminate the rebels, he would be criticized at home if he won, saying that he had to use cannons to fight mosquitoes. According to the information, the other party is not even equipped with guns, and a large number of rebels are using cold weapons.

The mortal and the extraordinary who use cold weapons are two concepts!

But seeing the commander's incomparable shrewdness, exploiting strengths and circumventing weaknesses, and shrinking the front line, coupled with the war knight Gu Xin, he felt that it was a lie.

At this time, Mark rescued him instead: "Your Excellency Marshal, the mobilization power of the empire is limited. There are not many troops in the army now, right?"

The marshal smiled bitterly: "In fact, there are only 3,000 people on the front line, and even the equipment is not complete."

Modern warfare is much more troublesome than in ancient times. In the past, soldiers, armed with swords and armor, were at most in charge of food and grass for individuals and horses, and they were basically done.

Entering the age of artillery, the supply of bullets and shells is a big problem.

It has only been a few days since the rebellion started today, and the empire was caught by surprise, and it didn't bring many troops and supplies at all. Dozens of ships came from the navy, purely because they were too close, and those ships were already on patrol.

Abner was a good man again: "Then let's not discuss the cooperative operation. We will send out the Night's Watch reconnaissance team to find out the situation. We will discuss it when your army is assembled. Okay?"

The Marshal bowed slightly again and said, "Thank you so much!"

After that, it was time for the hard-working Abner to work. He sits aboard the Caribbean, deploying the reconnaissance of the Night's Watch.

All kinds of news began to be aggregated on the Caribbean.

Three days later, preliminary news came.

"The rebels retreated to the Gelema Hills, 40 kilometers from the shore. The terrain here is complex and there are many settlements. We broke several night watchmen inside. Fortunately, most of the other superhumans are war-related and good at Head-to-head, but not good at reverse osmosis and reverse reconnaissance." Abner marked the enemy's location on the map.

Abner continued: "The rebels have dug numerous basements and tunnels in the hilly area. Since they were newly dug, the residual mud and muck have not been cleaned up, so it is easy to find them. It will not be certain after a while."

As you can see, the rebellion was hastily.

According to the information collected, the Church of Light and Night also generally knows the reason for the rebellion of the daughter of the local leader [Rose Knight] Rosalind Silva. To put it bluntly, the governor of the empire decided to temporarily in order to please the great nobles of his country. Taxes are levied, and 100% is not considered, and it will be received ten years later.

A typical official forced the people to rebel!

Even if the Governor himself burped himself, he still slapped the empire.

The faces of the two judges, Anthony and Tony, were as black as the bottom of a pot. Based on their beliefs, it was difficult for them to accept that they would do something to help the emperor.

Abner said solemnly: "The top priority, we must separate the rebels from the [War Knights]. Otherwise, fighting the rebels and the War Knights together is not something that can be done by killing 100,000 people. Let's imagine, If a million people die in this land, what will happen to [famine], [plague] and [death]? This is the ideal breeding ground for a new generation of apocalypse knights.”

Not to mention the two judges, there are a bunch of trainee judges here, all of whom have not thought of a good solution when they think of the smoke coming from their skulls.

The rebels need the power of [War] to deal with the Empire. [War Knight] Gu Xin is also eager to raise his rank by war. As long as he fights, his power can rise rapidly.

For the sake of face, the empire could not easily forgive the rebels.

On the other hand, as long as the scale of the war expands, Gu Xin can even soar to Sequence 4, then basically no one can take care of him.

This is simply dead end.

Mark suddenly said, "Call Haus here."

Not long after, Marshal House boarded the ship.

"Your Excellency Destiny, you asked me to come..."

"I want to ask, what is the bottom line of the empire? Do you have to kill one million rebel soldiers and civilians to prove the empire's might? Or do you want to get the oil fields back as soon as possible to restore the production and supply of the colony?"

"Uh..." Haus was hard to say.

Mark said coldly: "I heard that the price of crude oil within the empire, as well as the prices of coffee, cane sugar, rum, and cigars, have skyrocketed. If it can't be done before the New Year, let alone the military, even His Majesty's There will be a lot of pressure.”

Otherwise, oil is the fuel for all internal combustion engines. Cars, trains, and ships cannot do without it. If this thing is missing, even if it is expected to be missing, the entire empire will be in chaos.

However, the coastal oil area of ​​Bolivar is the largest oil producing area of ​​the empire, accounting for more than 40% of the share.

House wiped his sweat: "If the rebellion can be quelled quickly, the Senate agrees to punish only the first evil."

"This is easy to handle. The weakness of the rebels is here." Mark pointed to the Bolivar Lake in the middle of the Bolivar map, which was the largest freshwater lake in the kingdom.
