Section 27 Campaign in the Tillman Region (III)

At the end of November,

More than a month has passed since Pedi gave the order to command the Allied forces at the fortress of Manwis Canyon to attack Fort Tillman, and the battle situation on the battlefield led by Felder is still stalemate, and there is no turning point in the slightest.

Entering November, the temperature in Felder's territory has plummeted in the past half month, coupled with the erosion of evil energy, making the area around Fort Tillmann feel like a cold winter, and the Allied soldiers have put on cotton clothes three days ago, and the offensive is slowly subsiding in the bitter cold.

At the command post at the mouth of the canyon, the bright wall fire dispelled the gloom of the room, and also brought some warmth to this cold winter, and the staff officers and front-line scouts shuttled under the shaking firelight, and the noisy discussion was constantly echoing.

In the passage between the emperor's private office and the command post, the footsteps did not stop for a moment, and the reports sorted out from all over the front line continued to arrive in the mailroom outside the office.

The sky outside had barely seen a little light, and the office was already full of people.

By the fireplace, Pedi sat on a wooden chair, holding a piece of dry bread in his hand, bent over and baking in the exuberant fire, the smell of bread and a faint smell of mush wafting through the room.

"Preparations for war took longer than expected. Andy Barrett sat down next to his cousin with an iron fork running the sausage, "The original plan was to achieve a counterattack against Felder City in half a month, but now more than a month has passed. He stuck the sausage in the fireplace and looked at his cousin, "You eat this every morning?"

"And half a glass of ale. Pei Di glanced at his cousin, "You have a good sausage in your hand." His gaze fell on the sausage that was making a "zizi" sound in the flames.

"You have a squadron of squires, why are you robbing me of food. Andy Barrett looked reluctant, "Of course, if you're willing to give me a little of your wine, everything is negotiable." ”

Since half a month ago, the Allied forces have begun to implement a limited supply of materials, and Peidi, as the emperor and commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, naturally has to lead by example, and the ale can no longer be drunk as much as before.

"I'm not used to eating anything too salty. Pedi looked regretful.

"You're shameless. Andy Barrett gritted his teeth, "Let's get down to business, where did we just go?"

"A counterattack in Felder City!" replied Baron Brooke, chief of staff in the chamberlain.

"What's the notable information lately?" said Peedy, turning her head to Minnie Wattle, who was sitting on the reception couch sorting out papers.

"Although we have stuffed some spies into the undead army with the help of Muvet Phile, we have not been able to detect useful information in a short period of time. Minnie Vatu's voice, although good, is so cold that it makes people instinctively repel.

"What about the battlefield news?" the dissatisfaction on Pedi's face was not concealed.

"As always, nothing special noteworthy. Minnie Vatu shook her head, "In the past half month, even the communication of the Void has become extremely rare, and the spatial nodes have not responded. ”

"What do you think about that?" said Pedy, looking at his cousin.

Andy Barrett shrugged, "I'm only going to plan, not to elaborate." ”

Pedi frowned and shifted his gaze to Brooke.

"War is nothing more than offense and defense. Brooke Manhi not only did not panic in the face of the emperor's inquiry, but was overjoyed, "If the undead army chooses to attack, this is undoubtedly good news for us, if it is defensive, we can just continue to carry out our plan." ”

"Supplies have arrived in Cooktown, right?"

"This is the fifth time you've asked this question this morning!" Andy Barrett looked the Emperor up and down, "Are you nervous?"

"Of course!" Pedi did not deny, "once our plan begins, it will throw almost all the forces of the Confederates into it, and it will fail..."

"If we fail, we can retreat, but it's a big deal to give up the Felder Territory and hold on to Manwes Canyon. Andy Barrett interrupted his cousin, "Although it will make our future wars extremely difficult. ”

"I have just been crowned, my dear cousin. ”

"You care more about your crown than this war?"

"My crown is equal to this war!" Pedi seemed to be joking, but the topic was very serious, "Why do you think the Confederates can come together?"

"So... What about your plans?" andy Barrett took a towel wrapped around his hand and ripped off the toasted sausage covered in oil, glanced at the knives, forks and porcelain plates on the cabinet next to him, and took a bite.

"Oh, it's hot, but it's delicious!" Andy swallowed a quick bite of food, looked at his cousin and said, "Do you want to give up?"

"No, I'm just whining, you know, as an emperor, there aren't many people I can complain about!"

"The front line is still waiting for your orders, Your Majesty the Emperor!" Andy stood up and saluted the Emperor with a greasy mouth, "Time drags on for too long, and there is a good chance that our plans will all be exposed." ”

"I just wanted to have a good breakfast. Pedi also stood up, took the hot ale on the small wooden table next to him and drank it dry, put the toasted soft bread on the plate, and turned to look at Chief of Staff Brooke, "Tell me the order." ”

...

December 1, the first day of the last month of 1220.

The sky over Fort Serek was as dark as it had been for the first half of the month, but it seemed colder today than ever.

As usual, the garrison of the Misha Kingdom around the castle dispatched a large number of soldiers at dawn to clear the undead roaming the nearby area to prevent the undead from encroaching on the area on a large scale.

A month earlier, due to the sudden attack of the Confederate forces at the mouth of the Manwis Gorge in the Tillmanburg area, the Undead Legion in the Fort Serek area stopped the offensive and reduced its forces to establish a strong defensive line around the city of Feld to prevent the counter-offensive of the Fort Serek garrison and the army of Cooktown.

"The Undead Legion is not hiding the plight of their forces in Felder, but they are also explaining to us that it is impossible to take Felder City with the power of Fort Selek!" was the exact words of Commander Ian of the Kingdom of Misha in his report to the Allied Commander-in-Chief Pedy Reagan.

But apparently, the General Command did not listen to this report.

Last night, a new order came from the Allied General Command, requiring Ian to launch an attack on the Feld City area as soon as he received the order.

In the midst of all the opposition, Ian chose to support the command of the General Command.

"Hum... Hum..."

Early in the morning, the horn of the army of the Kingdom of Misha, which had been silent for two months, echoed over Fort Selek, and when the patrol responsible for clearing the surrounding area of the undead returned to the city, the huge military formation was drawn in an orderly military order.

At the same time, Felder's army, which had retreated to Cooktown, completed its build-up.

High Lord Rue-Izezer is making his final pre-battle speech, and he swears to the last remaining Feld Lords in Cooktown that he will reclaim the lands where the Feld Lords have lived for generations and slaughter the undead who have entrenched in the Felder Lords.

Similarly, the 100,000-strong army secretly assembled in the wooded area north of Tillmanburg was also making final preparations before the attack!

The Emperor's will was carried out in a very short time, and under the Emperor's iron will, a grand battle that had never been seen before in human history was about to begin.
