twenty-four

Let's rewind the clock - on the evening of July 23, 1695 in the British calendar, on the wall of Asgard in the northwest of the continent, Marshal Odin stood in the setting sun with generals such as Rogris, Wharton, Rommel, Lauren Rice, Cromwell, Othello, and Guth, looking solemnly at the dense tents under the shadow of the Asgard Mountains in the distance.

"These underground guys are so annoying!" Wharton exclaimed.

"In the past, they didn't have a springboard on the ground, so they had to come up from various underground passages in the four countries. Now that we have reached an alliance with the orcs, we have a ground springboard, and with the containment of the Sea Clan, the battle will be quite difficult in the future!" Rommel sighed.

"The troops from the Dayu Empire are stationed in the city of quicksand in the rear, and if the walls of Asgar are attacked, they can be reached within two days. Don't worry too much about it just yet. On the contrary, the situation in the four countries in the rear is cause for concern. Gus's thick voice was unusually delicate.

"Gus, you're not wrong to say that you have thick lines. If the enemy sees that our defensive strength is insufficient, it will definitely attack. If the four countries send reinforcements, they will confront us and contain their troops. Coupled with the cooperation of the sea tribes along the coastline, the enemy attacked from various crypts inland, and we simply did not have much strength to support. Very passive. Rommel squinted at Gus.

"......" Gus was about to refute, but found that everyone also turned their heads to look at him like idiots, and couldn't help but blush.

"The enemy's conspiracy this time is exactly the same as the one that lured us to rescue the Dragon Pavilion Guard and the Eagle Yang Guard before. Marshal Odin also sighed.

It is necessary to keep it, but if there are fewer people, it cannot be kept, and if there are more people, it will be restrained. In the multi-front battlefield, human beings only have the part of defense, and they are very passive. All kinds of noises, false and true, etc., Odin Marshal has already imagined the various means that the enemy will use. And these means, even if you know that they are useless, you still have to be led by the nose by the enemy.

"The news has been sent to the countries that with the length of the walls of Asgar, without 200,000 horses, it is impossible to hold off the enemy's targeted attack. And the dispatch of 200,000 horses and horses by the four countries to garrison it is also the limit. Marshal Odin continued. (You can refer to the men and horses of the Qin general Meng Tian who built and defended the Great Wall.) Although the majority of laborers are the majority, there are at least 100,000 soldiers among the 300,000. And the other party is only the Huns. Here, the Orcs and the Underworld Alliance. )

In peacetime, the annual rotation, because of the danger of the Asgard Mountain Road to defend, so most countries only send about 60,000-80,000 soldiers and horses. This is because it is possible to mobilize so much in non-wartime situations, and in wartime, it is also very extreme for each country to draw 4-50,000 yuan. The mere issue of supplies is a big trouble.

"Once the news reaches the kingdom, the reorganization of the Dragon Guard will definitely be accelerated, as long as there are no other surprises, there should not be much problem with the various defense lines of the kingdom. Rougris said.

"Logris, Guderian and you are classmates?" Odin suddenly asked. Everyone also looked sideways.

"Yes. At that time, I was quite surprised to see him standing guard outside the marshal's tent. Rougris said.

"That's interesting. The review of military merits is generally done by the two people stationed in the military headquarters, and I don't know who he offended. Marshal Odin thought of the magnificent exploits on Guderian's resume.

"His fiancée has some relationship with General Lyon. He also has a little lover. The relationship between General Lyon and Marshal Volencena, you know. Rougris said.

Odin shook his head and said, "It's too child's play." If he had been promoted earlier, it is estimated that Long Jiwei would not have ended up like this. ”

"Yes, he woke up with amnesia, from the battle with the Eagle Guard to transport the remains of the Dragon-Guarded warriors back to the walls of Asgar, I made a special trip to check it, and the person with such military qualities was actually just a captain! Lauren Rice sighed: "I hope that the marshal's nomination and appointment to him will be approved." ”

"When we came out of the military academy, he went to the dragon guard, and I followed the commander. There has been little news of him over the years. Back then, he and his fiancée had a little lover, and the things between the three of them were well known at school. It is said that he also had a big fight with his father about it. Rouglis's cold face finally had some expression, and he recalled and said: "However, I don't know if it is after the amnesia or the military in the past ten years, his temperament has changed a lot. ”

"Marshal Volence doesn't have the courage to slap the face of Marshal Odin. Othello laughed.

Everyone laughed and wrapped up Odin Marshal.

"I hope the dragon guard will be stronger after his reorganization!" Cromwell also expressed his admiration, and the data on his resume was not as good as Rogris's self-inflicted.

"The future of the kingdom is still with you young people. Odin turned and led the group down the city wall in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Augustine, you said that Guderian was such a powerful person, why have you never heard of it before. "In the cafeteria at the Asgard Walls, Sophia and Augustine were having dinner.

After Guderian left, Sophia and Elizabeth publicized his resume. Basically, Asgar's garrison knows about it.

"I'm also very good!" Augustin held his head high, patted his chest and said, "You don't want Guderian to come to Guderian all day long, people are men with fiancées." ”

Sophia gave Augustine a blank look: "Fool! If you had half of Guderian's military exploits, a bunch of girls would have circled around you a long time ago." ”

Elizabeth, Renault and others on the side couldn't help laughing. This Augustine vinegar is so strong that I can't really hear it.

"I really want to see what a man's fiancée looks like. Elizabeth continued.

"Hey, two. Guderian went back, too far, no, over there, General Roglis was over there. Augustine said Nunu, who brought a group of generals in to dine, and Odin and his party. The most obvious is the ruthless Logris.

"Wow, General Rogriss is cool!" the two girls almost screamed. Of course, the pretend, the show for Augustine......

In the Asgar City Wall garrison, such a relaxed atmosphere has not changed because the enemy coalition troops are coming to the city......

Let's take our gaze back from the walls of Asgard to the current timeline of July 30, 1695 in the British calendar.

About 600 kilometers away from Yanjing, on the coastline of the Great East Ocean - Normandy Beach, a brigade of fishmen and Naga soldiers are patrolling the beach. (If you can't imagine their image, you can search for Naga and the Big Fishman in the Warcraft Dota game.) In the shallow sea behind them, endless lines of fish-men and naga were manipulating and fighting each other on the water, the sound of fighting drowned out the waves and shook the sky. Looking at it from afar, I am afraid that there are no less than 100,000 people.

On the shoreline ten miles away from the beach, there is a bunker more than ten meters high every other mile. These bunkers were human outposts and beacons. At this time, every pillbox was full of heavily armed human soldiers. Fifteen miles from the beaches of Normandy, five miles from the line of pillboxes, in the eastern part of the city, the reinforcements of Marshal Gabriel converged with the defenders of the defensive line. The tense atmosphere of the approaching big battle stimulated the nerves of the defenders. General Nicholas, the commander of the defensive line, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gabriel and reinforcements arriving.

"Four days ago, the Sea Tribes had been entrenched on the beaches of Normandy, and there was no attack, just daily exercises. Nicholas reported to Gabriel at Gabriel's camp on the current situation: "The same is true of the other two coastal lines. Three beaches, roughly estimated, the Sea Tribe dispatched nearly 200,000 troops. ”

"Keep watching, get the news of the arrival of reinforcements. Gabriel commanded.

After settling his troops and resting briefly, Grand Marshal Gabriel led more than 2,000 horsemen to the front of the outpost, inspecting Normandy and two other beaches along the line of the outpost. The enemy saw the human patrol procession, and the momentum of the exercise was even greater.

At the same time, the military headquarters in Yanjing City also received a military report from the Asgar City Wall. The atmosphere of the entire military headquarters was extremely solemn.

"The big war is about to start!" Florence sighed after reading the military report: "Now, the garrison led by Marshal Odin will not be able to return to the country. Dispatch a level of combat readiness to the defense line of the underground passage, and at the same time draw troops from the major cities to assemble the nearest defense line. Frença threw the newspaper to the generals on duty at the military headquarters and gave the order.

In the barracks outside the city, Guderian was inspecting the recruits for training, and Achilles followed him to report on the training of the troop deployment.

"Regarding the issue of war horses, I will apply to the military department as soon as possible. I'm afraid, it won't be allocated to us so much. Guderian said. Achilles had just reported the deployment of 3,000 cavalry, but the new barracks did not have many horses for training.

"The selection of your personal guards will be carried out after the training is over or when excellent seeds are found in the training. Achilles said. "But these lieutenants, you also need to take some time to instruct them in their immediate efforts. After all, what you teach in military schools is not as useful as what you have trained from life and death on the battlefield. ”

"Hmm. When the training of new recruits is on the right track, I will take one day every three days to train them. Of course, it would be nice if Roglis was there. Guderian nodded.

"Haha, this is not like you before. When you were seventeen or eighteen years old, there was no one in your eyes, and I never heard a compliment from your mouth. Achilles laughed.

"......" Guderian was only embarrassed.

"Is there any progress in the research to control blood?" Achilles changed the subject.

"I'm probably proficient in using this kind of power to explode. However, when it comes to the progress of research, it is a subject for His Excellency Gandalf, and I am not very clear. I'm just here to understand and apply. Guderian shook his head and continued: "If Your Excellency Gandalf can really succeed, then the high-end force of our human race will increase exponentially. "Guderian was also hopeful.

"Yes, most of the high-end forces nowadays are only developed by mages, or weapons developed with magical energy as the core. If blood control can spread among the soldiers, even if one out of a hundred or a thousand succeeds, it will be a considerable number. Achilles was also full of yearning for that kind of power. Who doesn't want to be strong? either by force or intellectually......
