Chapter 136: The Battle of Blackstone Fort
If you think about it, in peacetime, they seem to be powerful and powerful, but in a state of war, they can even threaten the lives of everyone around them.
The poisonous gas they released could spread for tens of kilometers and wipe out everything that could breathe in a village.
"We're not getting stronger, we're getting more vulnerable, gentlemen!" King Gravel looked at the men in front of him, and said slowly: "Do you think we've won?
The ruler will not use the strong lightly, because the mature will have to consider the consequences of doing so. Frequent use of the strong will only make the enemy more desperate to retaliate. War is only a means to solve problems, and any reasonable person will try to avoid taking the road of common destruction.
King Gravel is a ruler, and what he has to think about is to occupy as much land as possible, expand his empire, and use the strong at all costs, turning everything into a scorched earth, which is not a choice that normal people can make.
With the destruction of city after city, King Gravel may be the ultimate winner of the war, but all he gets is a world in ruins.
As long as there is victory, even if the world is all in ruins and wreckage, it doesn't matter, just think about it to know how terrible it is. So King Gravel didn't plan to really wash the world with strong men.
"We still have a tacit understanding that as long as they don't attack our city, we won't use strategic power......" King Gravel looked at his men and said his thoughts: "But if they attack our city and kill innocent civilians, I will order a nuclear counterattack!"
"But if the other side does not attack the city and assassinate our dignitaries, then this tacit understanding cannot be broken on its own initiative!" King Gravel ordered: "So we can only think of some other way to deal with those guerrilla warfare!"
These mages are much more powerful, they don't have to carry weapons, and even just by themselves, they can unleash powerful attacks. For the Kingdom of Norsland, they are really very scary.
While King Gravel was reminding his ministers to guard against arrogance and rashness and to deal carefully with possible guerrilla warfare in the Elven Kingdom, Lord Tyran of the Delman Empire was anxiously staring at his men walking back and forth, like ants on a hot pan.
"What do you mean you can't get in touch? The enemy is less than half a day's way from Blackstone Fort! I can already hear the sound of artillery outside the city! What do I need for support?" he shouted in annoyance, as he walked through the council hall of the city.
"I don't know what happened, Your Excellency has lost contact with him, and everyone is looking for him!" said an officer standing next to him, pressing his sword and weeping face, "Without his orders, many troops cannot be mobilized...... The troops supporting you are now stopped near the town of Boship, but they have not received further instructions to approach us without permission......"
"What is this going on?How can I stop the forces of the Kingdom of Norsland without reinforcements?I'm about to be surrounded!Does he know?Does he know?Huh?" asked Lord Tyron angrily as he grabbed the other man's neck and asked loudly.
He was ordered to hold on to Blackstone Fort, which was now almost the last line of defense of the Delman Empire. But in this case, the archon who started the war without authorization and dragged the Delman Empire into the abyss disappeared!
Blackstone Fort is still in ruins, rebuilding is difficult, the back road that has been blown up is still struggling, and the road that has been surrounded is still struggling, in this case, the leader is gone, and of course all that is left is chaos.
"The north has been opened up by the Kingdom of Norsland, and our defenses in the north are crumbling......" said an officer, looking at the map hanging in the town hall, and said with some depression.
The Empire's reinforcements did not stop the advance of the Kingdom of Norsland, and the large army was attacking the Blackstone Fort area, which proved that the Delman Empire had not stopped the advance of the other side at all.
Another army was heading south around the mountains, and once they reached their position, Fort Blackstone would be encircled. At this point, it is still unknown who will stop the other army of the Kingdom of Norsland.
"Find him!Let him move his troops as soon as possible!Keep going like this!!The Delman Empire will be finished!" Lord Tyrann, as the archon of Blackstone Fort City, was in charge of the operational command of an entire theater of war, and he now felt that his troops were collapsing, so he was eager to know the archon's next plan.
Whether it is to abandon Blackstone Fort and continue to retreat, or to hold on to Blackstone Fort and fight to the end, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Delman Empire must always have a goal, right? The previous order was to hold on to Blackstone Fort and prevent the Norsland Kingdom Army from breaking through from the central region.
But now, this order has been executed for more than ten days, and seeing that the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and the Blackstone Fort area is about to be untenable, as the archon of the Delman Empire, you have to give a word no matter what, right?
"We're done! Reinforcements haven't arrived for a few days, tell me! It's been a few days!" he asked loudly, grabbing one of the officers beside him.
"Probably, probably...... I haven't been here for two days......" The officer thought for a moment in a panic, and gave a rough answer.
It seems that since yesterday the troops of the Reich have not appeared in the rear again. The soldiers who had already been reinforced to fill the defensive line were still fighting, but the follow-up reinforcements were nowhere to be seen.
"They're running out of strength, too!They don't have any more soldiers!What should we do?," said Lord Tyron, smiling bitterly in despair, and walked back to his chair, sat down, and looked up to the sky and lamented.
Fighting with the Norsland Kingdom, the Delman Empire is obviously not good, only relying on the Empire's troops can barely fight, but now the reinforcements of the troops are gone, and the troops are lost after a few days, what else can he do to stop the attack of the Norsland Kingdom?
Thinking of this, he straightened up again excitedly, and ordered loudly: "Ask them if they have found the archon!
Then, he interrupted his order again, and said to himself, "It's useless! Let the Imperial Knight ask for it himself!"
"But, Your Excellency, ...... There's no way we can do that," the officer next to him reminded in a low voice.
