Chapter 41: Liwei
When the Sam base in the Great Forest of Grimm experienced a series of changes, the war between the northern kingdoms and Erne finally began, and the miracle continent that had been quiet for a hundred years was once again turbulent.
Erne Empire, Talmug Fortress.
General Elier finally decided to leave the Talmug Fortress, as the Talon Empire had taken the lead in attacking the Tenio Fortress on the Erne border.
Although the other four countries have not made much moves at the moment, they have effectively pinned down the remaining fortresses, resulting in the current emergency of the battle at Tenio Fortress, and General Elier has to go to the front line to support.
Of course, this is the result of much deliberation by Elier.
The Talon Empire is the most powerful of the northern kingdoms and the leader of the Northern Alliance, so Talon desperately needs a major victory to boost his prestige.
Although the other four nations were able to contain a large number of troops on Erne's border, none of them had the strength to capture a fortress on Erne alone.
So for now, the dispute between the northern kingdoms and Erne seems to have become a battle between Tenio Fortress and the Taron Empire, so General Elier must go to the front in person no matter what.
This battle, he can only win.
When General Elier left, he took with him 100,000 horses and horses in the Talmug fortress, and at this moment there were only 70,000 or 80,000 left-behind troops in the Talmug, which was obviously far from enough as the core of the entire northern defense line.
But General Elier had no choice, and the Talon Empire was menacing this time, with 400,000 troops under the fortress of Tenio.
The 150,000 horses in the Tenio Fortress were insignificant in comparison.
You must know that the Talon Empire has come out of the nest this time, vowing to take the Tenio Fortress, while the Erne Empire will be at war with the five northern countries at the same time on the long border.
In particular, not long ago, Ernne had just lost more than 200,000 soldiers in the southern theater, and the situation was very unoptimistic.
Erne Frontier, Tenio Fortress.
After a week of rapid marching, General Elier finally arrived at the Tenio Fortress with the vanguard troops.
Before General Elier arrived, the defenders of Tenio had been engaged with Tarun's army for several days, with heavy losses on both sides.
As soon as General Elier arrived at the fortress, he summoned all the city's senior generals for an emergency meeting on how to defend against the Talen attack.
"All of you here are battle-hardened generals, so I won't spare any bends. Now our situation is very serious, the enemy is twice as large as our army, and we are completely inferior in terms of strength.
In terms of food supply, Tarun only needs to provide food for 400,000 soldiers, while we have almost a million soldiers stationed in the six fortresses, and there are also serious scheduling problems in the transportation and distribution of food.
In addition, the defeat in the southern theater a few days ago has led to a loud voice of condemnation in the country, and the people's will is unstable, which means that we must fight a quick battle.
If it drags on any longer, I am afraid that there may be turmoil in the country first, and at that time, under the internal and external troubles, what awaits Erne will inevitably be death. ”
General Elier analyzed the situation they were facing in detail and said impassionedly to everyone present.
"In other words, you have so much to do with us, and there is nothing you can do. Sure enough, a general from a civilian background would be like that even if he became a marshal one day.
If you don't say it, I forgot, the culprit who caused the fiasco in the southern theater seems to be you, and it seems that you can't get rid of the resentment of the people and General Elier. ”
Lord Steve teased Elaire's words in a slightly mocking tone.
Lord Steve is a typical generational aristocratic origin, and has always been dismissive of a flat-headed nobleman like Elier who has climbed up from the commoners.
In particular, in this campaign, the king specially appointed General Elier as the commander-in-chief, with full authority over all matters related to the six northern fortresses.
Seeing that the former humble untouchables had climbed on his head, Lord Steve couldn't help but be furious and angry.
"Now I am the Supreme Commander of the Six Frontier Fortresses, General Steve, please pay attention to your words, I have the right to deal with you at any time. ", General Elier said with some annoyance.
"Military law deals with me, you're kidding me, it's up to you, hahaha. General Steve laughed instead of being angry, apparently not taking General Elier seriously.
As the hereditary lord of Teneo, Steve's family power is deeply entrenched here, and even King Gordon II would not dare to execute such a powerful family at will during the war.
So General Steve didn't care about this unrealistic threat, and of course he was wrong this time.
If it was before, General Elier would still be concerned about his own future, and he would not easily treat Steve. But this time it was different, and he had no way out.
"My advice is to take the initiative and solve it quickly, and if you have a better way, you can always bring it up. If not, follow my advice and adjourn the meeting. General Elier ignored Steve's words at all and said flatly.
But his sharp gaze was like a hungry beast, calm and full of murderous intent.
The emergency meeting ended unhappily, and even Steve left with a satisfied smile on his face.
Looking at General Elier's angry face, it was as if Steve had really defeated this lowly civilian.
But he didn't know that this was just a prelude to the storm, and that the show had just begun.
Steve's actions finally confirmed the adage, "Say the most naughty words, get the most vicious beatings." ”
That night, General Steve experienced a scene that he would never forget in his life.
While General Elier's army quietly took control of Lord Steve's army from the tent in the barracks, everyone was still asleep, and basically did not submit to any resistance.
While General Elier led his army to surround Steve's mansion and torches lit up the entire Lord's Mansion, Lord Steve was still immersed in a cloud of warm nephrite.
So much so that when General Elier finally grabbed him, all he had left was a slightly cute little flower cat panties.
"Elaire, what the hell is NTM trying to do, don't let me go soon. At this time, Lord Steve still did not have the consciousness of being a prisoner.
"What do I want to do, of course I'm going to execute you, I'm not like you guys are full of nonsense, I'm always doing what I say!", Elier said with a firm look in her eyes and a little playfully.
"No... No, no... , you can't kill me, in the era of my ancestors, even the king didn't dare to understand me easily, don't forget that behind me is the entire Tenio Fortress!"
As if seeing that Elier didn't seem to be joking, Steve's words trembled a little, but he still pretended to be calm and threatened Elier with his family power.
"Hahaha... Don't forget, you're not the famous generalissimo of Zhenbei from your ancestors, and I'm not the king of Erne, I'm just an outlaw who gambles on everything to win. ”
Elaire's lips rose slightly, staring at Steve in a daze, and said word by word.
"By the way, there are many people in the family you trust so much who want you to die. Looking at Steve, who was dragged away in despair, Elaire mended his sword.
