Chapter 224: The Imperial Capital Crisis
When the dwarven patriarch Bronze Hammer and the departed patriarch Moore arrived on the battlefield, the curtain had come down on this great and far-reaching war.
The warriors of the Riga Empire did live up to the name of "strong army", and even if most of the 15,000 men had been lost, all of them were wounded and exhausted. Faced with a hopeless situation surrounded on all sides, they actually resisted to the end, preferring death to surrender.
Anthony didn't care either, he even wished that the Riga wouldn't surrender, otherwise where would he find such an ideal training target?
The strength is strong and fierce, but it is the end of the strong crossbow; Well-trained, but lacking major generals and coaches.
The difficulty is just right, and the danger is moderate. Such a real battle is incomparable to any actual combat exercise.
Anthony, the new general, finally commanded a large army for the first time in office, which allowed him to get to know his generals and soldiers better.
Fifteen thousand Liga warriors also begged for mercy, and the whole army was destroyed. Dust to dust, and bones to be buried in this remote wilderness and mountainous area.
The aftermath after the war is naturally the responsibility of the generals of each unit, and there is no need to worry about the generals.
The two patriarchs found Anthony, who had just been idle, and the dwarven patriarch raised his bronze hammer arm and threw a round thing in front of him with a "whew".
"General, what you want, we brought it to you."
The surrounding generals saw that his words and actions were quite rude, and they were angry in their hearts, and they were about to scold, when the corners of their eyes swept to the ball on the ground, and they all stayed there immediately.
That's a human head!
Of course, a mere human head can't move the generals who are used to seeing bloody killings, and there are more than 15,000 on the battlefield being dealt with over there, what is this?
But the thing is, it's Schindler's head!
The commander of this 20,000-strong army that infiltrated the territory of the glorious empire, the most powerful general in the Riga Empire.
What's more, General Schindler is a top martial arts master who has stepped into the Fourth Realm!
Even if there are thousands of troops, it may not be difficult to force him back, but if you want to take his life, there is almost no possibility of success without a master of the same level.
In this way, could it be that these two rather funny combinations, one tall and one short, are actually powerful professionals at the gold level?
With this conjecture, the generals present did not dare to make a mistake, and everyone turned their attention to the main Anthony.
Anthony took two steps forward, leaned down, and took a closer look.
Long.
He stood up, straightened up, and let out a long breath.
The copper hammer waited patiently for a long time, and couldn't help but speak.
"General, people are right, right? You should be satisfied with this vote, right? ”
The two major alien races came to vote, and although Anthony was warm and polite, he did not slack off. But in this crucial battle, they were not brought in.
Although the boy sincerely explained to them, such as the two tribes came from afar and worked hard; What arrangement has already been designed, and their sudden addition will inevitably cause some coordination problems, etc., etc.
But in the eyes of the Hammer, these are inconsequential subsections. One of the most important and critical points is actually the issue of trust.
The task of intercepting and killing General Schindler was a test for them.
It is not only a test of ability, but also a test of loyalty.
But now that there is General Schindler's head as proof, in the minds of the Bronze Hammer Patriarch, it should be no problem to pass the test.
Anthony nodded, acquiescing to his statement.
Then he turned around and sat back in his handsome seat.
"Now that the two patriarchs have arrived, let's all discuss the next strategic deployment."
Anthony is straightforward and never drags his feet. The generals and generals present were all stunned in their hearts and stood solemnly.
The two newcomers, Brass Hammer and Moore, glanced at each other, and there was joy in their eyes.
Hearing about military secrets is in itself a kind of trust. Although Anthony did not say anything, he showed his acceptance of both communities with his actions.
The two of them didn't say a word, and silently walked behind the generals on the side.
The Moorish patriarch found his son Paul in the crowd and smiled with relief.
Anthony coughed lightly and spoke.
"Through the hard work of the soldiers, this number one scourge in my glorious empire has been successfully removed. But the overall situation is still not optimistic for our empire. The battle at Huaishui Pass in the east was fierce, and the Riga people were obviously in a hurry, and they no longer dragged the grinding workers. The pressure on the Grand Duke of Mattesias has increased dramatically, and we must send troops to help. ”
After a pause, Anthony continued.
"The situation in the western battlefield is also critical, according to the latest news, Frankie led the Taranto rebels to deceive the defenders of Aberdeen Province, and directly penetrated from south to north, and the front of the army actually pointed to the imperial capital."
Except for the new Moore and Copper Hammer, everyone's faces changed color in unison, and there was an uproar.
"Quiet."
Anthony let out a low snort, and the noise that had just been heard abruptly stopped. All the generals closed their mouths and looked at Anthony in the handsome position with blazing eyes, despite the anger on their faces.
With this magical coach in charge, it seems that there is no need to worry too much about himself and others, right?
"Both battlefields are too high to ignore. Here's what my plan is......"
Anthony spoke unhurriedly, clearly, and with clear tasks, without the slightest confusion due to the urgency of the situation.
But some cautious and lively-minded generals still found something unusual.
According to the task arrangement of the general, the army gathered in the province of Burgundy at this time had two main military tasks: one was the Huaishui Pass in the east, and the other was the imperial capital in the west.
But what about the southern province of Brussels?
……
A dusty herald soldier walked briskly into the palace, holding an urgent letter of eight hundred miles in both hands, holding it above his head, and announcing it loudly in his mouth.
"Your Majesty, an urgent letter from General Anthony!"
His Majesty Beckenbauer hurried forward, took the envelope in one hand, tore open the fire paint on it, and opened the letter inside.
Just after reading the first few sentences, His Majesty the King already showed a happy expression. After reading the full text, he could no longer suppress his excitement and looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Since the beginning of the war, His Majesty has heard most bad news, and felt most worry and sorrow. Laughter like this is rare. The last time was when the province of Hanover took a stand and let Anthony lead the army.
Coincidentally, these two major events that made His Majesty feel happy were all related to Anthony.
Seeing King Beckenbauer's rare good mood, there are naturally ministers below who know how to make fun.
"Your Majesty, there is great news? Can you say it, so that everyone can be happy and happy for Your Majesty. ”
King Beckenbauer was about to find someone to share, and the letter was not too classified, so he handed it to the minister.
"This is the latest battle report from Burgundy, our great general is mighty, the first battle is successful, and the entire 20,000-mile army is wiped out in this battle!"
The ministers in the palace were stunned, as if they couldn't believe the news. But in a militaristic matter, General Anthony could never joke about it. And their Majesty the King is not idle and panicked, and there is no reason to entertain them at will.
After a moment of stunnedness, the ministers realized what the news meant. Then they all forgot that His Majesty was in front of them, and they threw up their hands and cheered loudly.
If this period of time is the most headache and the most worrying thing for the imperial monarchs and ministers, there is no doubt that it must be the 20,000 miles of troops mixed into the empire.
There is no need to emphasize how powerful the Riga army is. Anyway, in the impression of all the ministers, if the Riga army is a fierce wolf, the Brilliant Emperor ** team can only be regarded as weak sheep.
Even after Anthony assumed the post of general, the performance of the army has changed considerably, and it has repeatedly played impressive results.
But in the eyes of the ministers, the army could at best be regarded as a weaker sheep to a more robust goat. Confronting hungry wolves, it is still difficult to have the ability to resist.
But now the reality is telling them that the hungry wolf has become a dead wolf, and the dead can no longer die. And it was the little goat that they thought they could only feed the enemy when they tore them to the ground.
The great general Anthony is indeed a genius boy who is good at creating miracles, and he continues the magic that has always been. Even the Riga army, which is so unpleasant, can only become another cornerstone that paves the way for his glory.
The ministers of the palace rejoiced, and they almost beat the gongs and drums to celebrate.
King Beckenbauer looked at it with a smile and did not stop it.
He was stressed and physically and mentally exhausted. But how could these ministers at the bottom be relaxed? Such a significant and far-reaching victory, it is understandable and acceptable for everyone to occasionally get carried away.
It's just that there are people who have a different opinion. Everyone is drunk and I am alone in the characters, and there is no shortage of them many times.
"Your Majesty, colleagues. The general's victory in Burgundy is certainly exciting, but as far as our imperial capital is concerned, there is still an imminent crisis that we need to resolve. Let's put aside the joy and celebration for a while, and wait until the enemy in front of us is solved. ”
The minister who spoke had a sad face, and at first glance he was a pessimist. Although what he said was disappointing, it was not purely to pour cold water on everyone. The high atmosphere in the hall slowly subsided, the ministers regained their composure, and many people's brows furrowed again.
You must know that before this good news arrives, they are anxiously discussing how to deal with the incoming Riga star Frankie.
The minister who had received the secret letter from King Beckenbauer raised his head and raised the letter in his hand.
"Don't worry, the general said in his letter that after annihilating the Riga army, he personally led the elite of the army to come to the imperial capital day and night to rescue!"
King Beckenbauer also restrained his smile and said with a majestic expression.
"Hear it, the Tiger and Wolf Army of the 20,000-mile Empire is not the opponent of the Great General, what kind of storm can the Taranto rebels withstand? Although the ministers can rest assured, the imperial capital city has thick walls, strong defenses, and abundant armaments and materials, and it is not a problem to resist the rebels for a month or two. No matter how you say it, you can wait until the general arrives. ”
The ministers below were right when they thought about it, and their anxious mood eased up.
King Beckenbauer looked up and out the window.
How did these people know that the current situation was also within the calculation of that young man.
Originally, His Majesty was still a little nervous in his heart, but now the good news came that Anthony had indeed solved the 20,000-mile army in a very short time and completed the seemingly impossible task. His Majesty Beckenbauer also had great confidence in the calculations of the young man.
