Chapter 477: Defense

The name Anthony, in the entire Holy Empire, in the Holy See of Light, is a taboo that no one wants to mention, but no matter what.

Not to mention that he has an army under his command that has just shaken the whole world and made the Holy Empire's high-level officials urgently meet to discuss countermeasures. The titles of legend of the mainland and the first person in the world alone make it impossible for anyone and any national force to ignore it.

It is no exaggeration to say that Anthony alone has more deterrent power than the entire Tang Feng army.

For such a top figure, no matter what attitude the countries of the mainland have, they will definitely not neglect to pay attention to him.

The growth and rise of Anthony has long been listed as a key research object in various countries.

But the more you research, the more confused people become. I just feel that Anthony's ascension speed is too fast, and it is too unreasonable.

Ten years ago, the battle of the glorious Imperial City that shocked the world, was the first time that Anthony unreservedly showed his strength to the sky.

How old was he at that time?

Nineteen years, four months and eight days!

Not yet twenty years old!

What is this concept?

Don't say that ten years ago, even today, when the heavens and the earth were changing and cultivation and promotion were easier, golden fighters under the age of twenty were rare and almost impossible to find.

It is rare to find one, that is, an amazing genius, all of whom are regarded as treasures by various national forces and regarded as an excellent opportunity for the rise of their own power.

But if such a supreme genius is compared to Anthony, it is not even a fart.

Gold Fighter? A saint-level powerhouse? A supreme master who surpasses the holy level?

Removing the age limit, there is one on the Oss continent, whether you are a young genius or a famous elder, you can only kneel in front of Anthony.

Even compared to Anthony ten years ago, there is no one to compare.

But this is such an indescribable anti-heaven existence that even a genius can no longer describe, and before he was sixteen years old, he was still unable to cultivate the double waste wood of fighting qi and magic, and he didn't even touch the threshold of a professional.

In other words, from the age of sixteen to nineteen, in just over three years, Anthony has completed the path that no one else can walk in a lifetime, and stands at the pinnacle of the human world.

This promotion speed is still unmatched by all the written histories of the Oss continent.

An aura of extreme mystery looms over Anthony. People can only see his brilliance, but they can't see the secrets hidden inside.

Anthony must have had some kind of adventure, and it was a great chance! A very complete inheritance that far surpasses the cultivation system of the continent!

This is the unified perception of countless national forces on the mainland who are paying attention to him.

Especially after Anthony showed various mysterious abilities such as refining weapons and medicine (alchemy) in addition to martial arts cultivation, this understanding was almost confirmed.

Every ability Anthony has shown is enough to shock the world and occupy the top spot in the relevant field on the mainland.

Compare command ability with famous generals on the mainland, forge training tools with dwarves, and compare medicine with alchemists...... All of them can win with a crushing attitude.

If he hadn't shown these talents, and when the countries and forces on the mainland discovered that he had grown into a towering tree and could not be shaken, he would have been arrested by someone long ago, tortured to extract a confession, and vowed to dig out the secret behind him.

It would not be surprising to anyone that Anthony designed and manufactured powerful equipment weapons for his army, or cooperated with the goblins to produce weapons that were even more terrifying than the goblins.

Because for the versatile Anthony, anything is possible.

A minister asked in a abrupt voice, "The situation ...... Are you sure? โ€

The officer in charge of intelligence rolled his eyesโ€”though he could understand the other man's feelings.

"How can this matter be confirmed, even if it is within Tang Fengjun, this should be a top secret, right? Except for the commander Tang Feng, there are probably not many people who know the inside story, how can we have such a high-level spy insider. โ€

The minister stopped talking.

The Imperial Marshal said: "Regarding the enemy's new weapons and equipment, let's discuss how to deal with the threat of Tang Fengjun." โ€

The emperor on the dragon chair nodded, and his mood slowly calmed down.

In any case, the fact that the enemy has new weapons is already a fact, and it is not necessary to discuss their origins, and even more so the most important thing at the moment.

"Gather a large army, dispatch various elite troops, take the initiative to attack, and annihilate Tang Feng's army, how about this idea?"

After all, the emperor was not familiar with military affairs, and when he expressed his opinion, he used an inquiring tone.

The Imperial Marshal shook his head and rejected the strategy.

"If it had been before, even if the whole country had poured its might, it would have struck hard and nipminated this terrible enemy in the bud. But not now, the forces of the three major sects, such as the goddess of fate, have declared war on our country, and the momentum is huge, and the movement of troops is also fast. Nowadays, our country is surrounded by enemies in many places, and the strength of the army is tight. If you draw too many troops, go to the Riga Empire. Then the strength of the other defensive lines is weak, and it is inevitable that they will show their flaws and be broken through by the enemy. โ€

The Emperor frowned, not because Jianyi was unceremoniously dismissed by the Imperial Marshal, but because of the current rather grim situation in the Holy Empire.

"Then, in the opinion of the marshal, how should we deal with it now?"

The Reich Marshal had apparently been thinking about this question for a long time, and already had the answer in his mind.

"For now, the only way to do this is to send heavy troops, hold the main roads, and step up the construction of fortifications to block the attack of Tang Feng's army."

There was a buzz, and a swarm of bees seemed to have been put into the hall, and a low and noisy sound sounded.

The emperor obviously didn't expect the imperial marshal to come up with such an idea, and he was very stunned.

"Marshal, you mean that we are going to take a defensive position against Tang Feng's army?"

It's no wonder that he and his ministers feel unacceptable, the Holy Empire is used to being the boss in the Oss continent, and only others respect it and fear it. Now that the enemy's army is pressing, their own army does not dare to take the initiative to meet the battle, but is like a turtle to defend it to the death, this huge contrast makes them unable to react at once.

The Imperial Marshal is an experienced general who is more able to analyze and judge the military situation and find out the most reasonable response plan.

"Not only for Tang Fengjun, but also in other sections of the defensive line, I am afraid that we must adopt a defensive combat strategy."

As soon as these words came out, there was an even greater uproar in the main hall.

One of the ministers couldn't help it and asked, "Marshal, there's no need to do this, right?" After all, we are the Holy Empire, the number one power on the continent of Oss whose military strength far exceeds that of other countries. Even if you face multiple enemies at the same time, you don't necessarily have to be left behind. Need to be on the defensive like an underdog? โ€

The Imperial Marshal replied unceremoniously: "Don't think I'm making a fuss and overreacting. The three major sects, including the Goddess of Fate, are menacing, and their strength is far beyond our previous expectations. My Holy Empire is located in the very center of the continent, with a vast territory and a very long border. Once attacked on all sides, there are too many places to defend. Even if we take an all-out defensive position, we may not be able to hold it. โ€
