Chapter 07: Operation Wolves

Arthur and the mercenary group did not wait for revenge from the Sillow family.

In the next ten days, as the noble private troops from the inland areas of the kingdom arrived at the barracks one after another, the town naval regiment finally gathered the scale of 100,000 people.

The Blue Enchantress Cavalry Regiment was not broken up and reorganized, but was integrated into the First Cavalry Division and the Independent Second Cavalry Regiment of the former army. Judging from the sequence of troops, the Zhenhai Regiment is still very optimistic about the overall strength of the Blue Enchantress Cavalry Regiment.

The entire legion was pulled to the front line after only half a month of training, during which time Arthur, as a regimental officer, only met the commander of the corps, Marquis de Grololand, once. The marquis was already nearly 100 years old, an old man with a clear figure and gray hair and beard, and his aristocratic temperament was far superior to that of a commander of an army.

Arthur had the most contact with his direct superior, the commander of the Stowe Division of the former First Cavalry Division. Stowe is a ninth-level martial artist temporarily transferred from the Blazing Legion, and he does not have a deep personal relationship with the Sillo family, and he usually does things at a glance, and he can be regarded as a traditional soldier in the kingdom's army.

When the town naval regiment went to the front station, it found that the situation at the front was not as tense as expected. In the past month, the Sea Clan seems to have taken the initiative to slow down the pace of their offensive, spending most of their energy on consolidating the occupied land, clearing the remnants of Locke and Rouge, and not even launching a large-scale attack on the Isaac army's defense line for a month.

The Sea Clan did not take the initiative to attack, but the Isaac army did not intend to sit idly by, because once the Sea Clan army was free to launch a fierce attack on Isaac, the Isaac army would weaken the Sea Clan army as much as possible before that.

Straych was instructed to adopt a tactic called "wolf packing" against the Sea Clan army, that is, to send a mobile cavalry unit to go deep into the rear of the battlefield in regimental units, bypassing the main force of the Sea Clan army, and attacking its important strongholds, transport convoys, and patrol and reconnaissance cavalry. It's like a pack of wolves around powerful prey, never fighting each other, but at the first opportunity, they will pounce on it and bite off a piece of meat, and little by little the prey will be consumed and dragged to death.

Each cavalry regiment was issued a magic token that combined the functions of a magic map and magic communication, allowing the wolves to act in unison.

Arthur tied the token around his waist, and as soon as he urged the wildebeest under his crotch, he galloped forward, leading the entire Blue Enchantress cavalry to officially start this alien war.

......

Sea Cliff City, the main hall of the royal palace on the top of the mountain.

Idil sat expressionlessly above the tall emperor's throne, and he also had a bit of the majesty of an emperor. But both Idil himself and the civil and military ministers in this hall knew in their hearts that he, the emperor, was just an ornament.

The real power is in the hands of those who are on the two seats to the left and right of the emperor.

Norman King Frans was overjoyed, "Thanks to listening to the Prime Minister's advice that day, we have taken Rouge and Locke in just over a month, and Horo has been unable to protect itself in the face of the attack of the orcs, as long as our two armies take Isaac and Kildan, Arantis will become a lonely city." Even if we don't attack, the siege will besiege the people in the city to death!"

Prime Minister Lu Lan waved his hand calmly, "This war has just begun, and it is by no means so easy to conquer the entire human race!"

"Victory is already in sight, why is the old prime minister still so cautious?"

"My 600,000 Sea Clan army has landed, and after more than two months of fighting, it has been reduced by nearly one-third, and the strength has begun to be stretched. ”

Frans mused, "I'm afraid that once Isaac and Kildan are given a chance to breathe, the battle will be even more difficult to fight. I can still transfer 200,000 troops in the country, and if I fully cooperate with the Sea Clan army in a battle, can I take the two countries in one fell swoop. ”

Prime Minister Lu Lan smiled and said: "I understand the king's feelings, Isaac and Kildan are not in trouble, sooner or later they are in our pockets." But Your Majesty, don't forget, compared to the Terran countries, the Church of Light is the most terrifying force of your Terran race, and if you don't wipe out the armed forces of the Church, it won't make much sense to eradicate the Terran countries. ”

Franston fell silent, no one knew better than him that the Church was strong, the Church had not yet entered the war, and only a few cavalry regiments under the city of Arantis had led to the first defeat of the Sea Clan after the landing.

Frans spoke slowly again, "The Prime Minister is extremely worried, we should really devise a plan to get rid of this hidden danger of the Church of Light first!"

"Although the Church of Light is a big problem, it should not be rushed. Most of the Church's armed forces are now concentrated in Arantis, and we only need to strengthen our surveillance, if they dare to go out of the city and take the initiative to fight, it will be our opportunity to break them one by one. In addition, the king and the orcs have a channel for ventilation, so you might as well bring a message to the Azure Eagle, our sea clan has no intention of fighting the orcs, and we have no interest in the land of Holo!"

This prime minister of the Sea Clan is scheming, and step by step he has faintly understood the plot of the entire human race.

......

Arantis, in an elegant side room of the Church of Light.

Pope Cylius V sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a cup of tea in his hands and sipping his eyes slightly closed.

There are only three yellow-green leaves in the tea cup, but the house is filled with a faint fragrance of tea.

Christine sat on the chair beside the bed, and when the Pope opened his eyes, he slowly spoke, "The Emperor has already talked to me, and the Imperial Family hopes that we can continue to send troops to help, take advantage of the situation to expand the victory, and completely eliminate the Sea Clan and Norman rebels. ”

"What about your attitude?" said the Pope softly without raising his head.

"Although that woman has her own selfishness, she is not wrong in what she said, this time the sudden invasion of the Sea Clan has already lost too much to our human race, if the countries are allowed to fight on their own, even if they win, they will be greatly injured, and it is inevitable that they will be taken advantage of by other foreign races. The early dispatch of troops by the church can also preserve the vitality of the human race. ”

The Pope smiled slightly, "You still haven't really seen through that woman!"

Christman was stunned, but he didn't understand what the Pope meant.

"That woman may not really want to send troops to destroy the Sea Clan, what she really wants is to use the hands of the Sea Clan to weaken the power of the Terran countries, which I am afraid even we have calculated. ”

"Why would she do that?" said Krisman with a surprised expression.

"Because what she really wants is the powerful Empire of Light back then. Religion sighed softly, "It's a pity, if a woman can be the emperor, she may really be the second person after Garlandlot!"

Christman showed a sneer, "A woman is a woman after all, and if that thing is there, even if the knights of the church are all gone, the church is not something she can suppress!"

The Pope's expression suddenly became serious, "That thing is definitely not for my own people, and I should not mention it to anyone in the future." ”

Christman nodded awkwardly and never spoke again.
