Chapter 10: The First Cataclysmic War—Prelude

"Can any of you explain to me what the hell is going on? The other side is, at best, the combat force of an armored division, and what about us? A whole Panzer Army! An armored corps!! Even if it's more than 40,000 pigs, it won't take a day for them to catch them, right?! You! As Minister of War, tell me what the hell is going on? "In the palace of the Grunshire Empire, Emperor Grunshire, after a roar, pointed to his military minister and asked him to give himself a reasonable explanation.

The Minister of War was also unlucky, and in fact he was well aware that this was a mistake on the part of the combat troops. Whether it was the defeated Second Fleet, or the retreating troops in several other ports, they forgot about the friendly forces that penetrated most into the enemy's territory.

This is a typical act of selling teammates, but not to mention whether his own Emperor Majesty would care about such an explanation, and he doesn't understand why this is happening.

The loss of an armored corps was not enough to greatly weaken the military strength of the Glenshire Empire, but it left the entire country in a situation of low morale.

Although this is a factor that the other party has indeed achieved a great victory......

But more ...... But a sense of distrust began to emerge in the military towards its own top brass and friendly forces.

The battle damage of the troops can be easily replenished by the Glenshire Empire, but once such a situation occurs, they will no longer be able to recover the losses caused by this negative influence in a short period of time.

He sighed slightly, for he knew that the people of the Glenshire Empire needed to find a scapegoat now so that they could regain some face.

This scapegoat, if you find a few generals to do it...... Nothing convincing.

But if the emperor who rashly started the war is allowed to bear this responsibility, it is estimated that the other party will not need to find a scapegoat. It's just that it's impossible.

"......Huh" took a deep breath, and the Minister of War finally had to say something he didn't want to say:

"Your Majesty, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this situation, please allow me to resign."

"Very well, now you can put down all your duties and go home and rest for a while." The Emperor glanced at his ministers and then uttered these words.

Most of the ministers knew that this would be the case, so they did not move, but silently watched the development of the situation in front of them.

The background of the Minister of War, leaving only a trace of your role to the Emperor of Glenshire, after the idea that this is the case, never appeared again......

"What was their reply?" Emperor Grunshire glanced at his Foreign Minister and said this coldly.

"The other side seems to be very surprised by our tactical failure, and according to the communication personnel sent by the other side, we must first win the Principality Alliance before they can ......"

"Humph! You tell them that if they don't follow the agreement, I don't mind making it public. The emperor went on coldly and said, "When the time comes, I believe that the old man of the Gultoka Empire will not let go of this opportunity." Even if there is no such evidence, what they need is often just an excuse, an excuse that will allow them to send troops. ”

……

"Oh? Your monarch is really a man who can't hold his breath, well, I'll report this to the top of our country. A young man in a robe spread his hands speechlessly, then turned and walked towards his little house.

In fact, he also knew that the most important thing in the words conveyed by the other party was a threat.

He knew very well that the real main force of the Gultoka Empire was not these quasi-first-class troops in the north and east, but the legions entrenched in the border between the Gultoka Empire and the Hilton Empire.

If the other party really used this obvious excuse as an opportunity to attack them, he didn't know how long the Hilton Empire's troops deployed along the border would be able to hold on.

So the message he sent to the top brass of the Hilton Empire was the words "start acting".

Since you have to play sooner or later, it is better to get a good start first.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

In the Imperial Palace of Gultoka in Lisel, Elianton I silently watched the message from his prospective grandson-in-law:

There will be changes in the Hilton Empire, so please prepare early.

He didn't doubt the real name of the news, but was thinking about how to deal with the situation.

He knew that the Empire's arrangements over the years had made the defense line on the border between the Gultoka Empire and the Hilton Empire impregnable, and he was not worried, and even hoped that the other party would launch an offensive from this road.

The problem is that the other party is not a fool either, and doing such a thing is undoubtedly more stupid than suicide.

After all, suicide can still choose how to die, and if they attack the southern part of the Gultoka Empire along this route, then they can't help but come and leave as they want.

Therefore, Elianton I knew very well that the most likely area for the Hilton Empire to attack was not the border between the two countries, but the kingdom of Capani, which was separated by several small principalities.

And he also knew very well that Zhang Shixin's dispatch of this news, as well as the action of quickly leading the troops to the territory of the Kapani Kingdom two days ago, actually wanted to help the Kapani Kingdom buy a little time.

There are not many troops to mobilize in the eastern part of the Gultoka Empire, and it is better to move troops to the Kapani Kingdom in the southern region than to directly attack the opponent's defense line, and maybe force the opponent's reserve troops to move to this area and strengthen the defense.

Although the Gultoka Empire is a first-class power, it can't mobilize more troops for multi-front operations at once.

In addition to this, the production capacity of the Gultoka Empire, coupled with a half-crippled alliance of principalities, a Kapani kingdom that has not recovered its vitality but is still full of strength, although it is not said to stabilize the alliance of two quasi-first-class powers, but the obvious advantages are indeed impossible to ignore.

Even before the annexation of the Gultoka Empire, the gross domestic product of the Gultoka Empire was almost on par with the two countries, but only slightly inferior.

"William, pass on the mobilization order." The old emperor thought about it for a long time, and finally made this decision.

"Grandfather, if you start mobilizing now, will you make a big fuss?" In the eyes of William, the crown prince of the Gultoka Empire, even the alliance of two medium-sized empires is not enough for the Gultoka Empire to use the big move of the mobilization order.

"Prepare early, this war may be unimaginable to you and me." The old emperor sighed softly.

"Alright then, grandfather, I'll arrange this now." William said, and turned to leave the study.

Elianton I silently glanced at the map and sighed deeply.

He was well aware that a considerable part of those small principalities had actually been controlled by the Hilton Empire. It was undoubtedly impossible to expect them to be able to delay the advance of the Hilton Empire. If the other party doesn't make a big mess for you, it's something to celebrate.

Of course, he knew what the consequences of issuing a mobilization order would be, but whether it was the Kapani Kingdom or the Gultoka Empire, they lacked nothing now, and what they lacked was military strength to fight.

"Alas...... It's still been too long. "Elianton I didn't like to fight, but he didn't want his country to lose its aggressiveness.

Therefore, he has always ruled out dissent, and maintained the active military strength of the Gultoka Empire at a fairly high level, so as not to be caught off guard.

Now, though, it seems that the power he retains is far from enough.

Even if there are millions of reservists, but now, without two months of training, I am afraid that these people will go to the battlefield, and the level of performance may be even more speechless than that of active recruits.

All he could do now was to believe that Zhang Shixin and his Elven Dragon Security Company would be able to buy as much time as possible for the Gultoka Empire and the Kapani Kingdom.

As for the Principality Union?

If things really get to the point where things really get worse, he will move all his troops to the territory of the Capani Kingdom to help defend it.

That so-called Principality Alliance, Elianton I had long since had no expectations.

In any case, the two sides are just temporary allies.

Elianton I definitely did not expect his decision, and gradually involved the entire continent in the flames of war......

………………………………………… Dividing line ......................................................

A few days later, the Hilton Empire declared war on several minor principalities in the north, and within a week, completely annexed them with an overwhelming military force.

Although Emperor Hilton [***] did not cross the border line with the kingdom of Capani, it was clear to many people that war between the two countries could break out at any time.

The Kingdom of Kapani issued a mobilization order again, but because the country was still in the process of rebuilding, the mobilization order did not have much effect.

Within a week, they re-recruited as many 150,000 reservists as possible for combat recovery training.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this amount of troops, as a force to resist the invasion of the Hilton Empire, is undoubtedly far from enough.

There are now two paths at the top of the kingdom of Capani:

One is to suspend reconstruction work and concentrate efforts on military construction.

The other is to use the existing forces to resist the attack of Hilton Emperor [***] as much as possible, and wait for the progress of the battle of the Gultoka army before making the next step.

……

In the royal palace of Kapani City, Druka's ministers of the Kapani Kingdom are more inclined to the first one, and although the reconstruction work is now improving, they cannot completely rely on their allies to pay for it alone and wait and see.

Moreover, they knew that the strength of the Hilton Emperor [***] was far from being comparable to that of the Duchy Alliance and the noble rebels.

Under this premise, King Capani[***]'s existing military strength was obviously insufficient to resist the Hilton Empire.

They were worried that they would not be able to resist each other's attacks until the Gultoka Empire and the Hilton Empire decided on the border between the two countries.

"Your Majesty, let's give a general mobilization order." Druka glanced at De Perry, who had lost a lot of weight because of the possibility of war again, and said helplessly.

De Perry didn't want to give this order, after all, the kingdom of Capani finally got a respite, but now ......

"I ......" DePerry knew that Druka and the others had no other better way, and she also understood the distress of the Gultoka Empire not to send reinforcements.

But she couldn't let months of hard work go to waste.

"Her Majesty! Please give the order. After a dozen ministers glanced at each other, they all said in unison.

"That's ......"

De Perry didn't wait for her to finish her sentence before the door to the conference room was pushed open......

"Your Majesty, the Hilton Empire is in trouble with several principalities to the south! And it's big trouble! The other side has now decided to use the Sil-Essers Agreement, hoping that we will send troops to support us. "It was the deputy minister of foreign affairs who opened the door rashly.

As the prime minister, Druka naturally knows very well what the so-called Hil-Ace Agreement is.

He was also well aware that the Kingdom of Capani was one of the first countries to sign the agreement.

In those years, they also sent troops to assist in the investigation. Although they found nothing, in the domestic investigation decades ago, they also found some ominous things in their own country, and finally blocked the other party after hard work.

It is said that the Hilton Empire and the Gultoka Empire also found the ghosts in their own countries and sealed them off.

Under this premise, most of the people of the continental countries gathered in Silisser, a small town in the Gristy Mountains in the middle of the continent, to sign the agreement.

He sighed, and then said to the bewildered people: "Everyone, wait a moment, and I will show you a copy of this agreement, rubbed to our country......

……

In the evening of the same day, the Gultoka Empire and the Kapani Kingdom issued a joint statement saying that the two countries would abide by the Hir-Esher Agreement and send troops to assist the Hilton Empire in dealing with the problem.

Most people don't even know what this statement is about.

But some old people who knew or participated in the signing of the Sil-Ether Agreement, after receiving the news, knew that the three countries could not fight each other, and in the face of those ghosts, they knew that holding together and resisting was the best solution.

……

"......" Emperor Grunshire was silent when he received the news, he naturally knew about this agreement, after all, the Grunshire Empire also signed this agreement back then.

He gave a very strange order, and the front-line troops immediately ceased fighting, and then telegraphed that the Glenshire Empire also obeyed the Hir-Ether Agreement and temporarily suspended military operations. In addition, he is willing to provide a large amount of weapons and equipment, and even manpower to support the operation.

It is inconceivable that another great power would be willing to support this operation with a truce.

But for those in the know, such a situation is taken for granted.

After all, there was a clause in the agreement that year, during the implementation of the agreement, other countries that signed the agreement did not support and must not delay it, and other countries that violated it will be wiped out.

No one dares to joke about such a thing. Even the big countries in the East that have not signed the agreement may not be able to withstand the attacks of dozens of countries one after another......

He knew that if he was willing to hold back, let alone the alliance between the two warring countries, even the Hilton Empire would not let him go.

"That's it." The Emperor silently looked at a yellowed piece of paper and nodded.

……

"This task...... It's very troublesome. By Zhang Shixin's side, a girl in a black and white dress said with a stern face.

"How much trouble is it?" Zhang Shixin knew that this task was only B-level difficulty now, so he didn't know what Xinia meant.

He had wanted to fight the Hiltons and give them a taste of the tank killers and the power of the Katyusha.

It's just that now, there is only one B-level difficulty left for all the tasks, but the introduction and task difficulty are all zombie fighting missions in purple fonts, and I can't accept such a change for a while.

Sinia didn't say anything, but said coldly: "You'll know tomorrow......"

……

The next morning, Zhang Shixin, who was washing, suddenly remembered Sinia's prompt, so he opened the task panel......

The cup of "clanging ......" gargle fell on the ground, knocking over all the military drinking water on the ground, which made Zhao Feilin and Liu Hu very puzzled.

Zhang Shixin saw that the difficulty of the task had actually changed to a purple A-level, and an extra item was added to the task notes: For the sake of your life, if you see something abnormal, just shoot. Kiss.

Well, it's really getting more and more troublesome, Zhang Shixin picked up the cup, and then said to Zhao Feilin: "Wait for the personnel above the squadron leader to come to my camp for a meeting." The others continued to make breakfast. ”

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

"Uncle, help me, I didn't mean to." A young man in tattered clothes stood in a basement and pleaded with a dignified old man for help.

"I can't save you, a fool who has caused a catastrophe, and the army was not arranged to go to that small valley even though the marching route was clear, and I don't understand why you disobeyed the order, entered the small valley without permission and killed all the defenders inside." The old man said coldly.

"I know I'm wrong...... I beg your majesty to intercede. The young man pleaded again.

"It's too late to say anything, not only is the pace of the offense interrupted by your actions, but ...... Do you know that you put those things out and are now rushing to remember the defense line we have built improvised, and all the soldiers and civilians in the defense line are dead! The old man roared, then took a deep breath and said as peacefully as possible: "Now I will give you two choices, one is that you go to see Your Majesty and die happily, and the other ......"

"I'm going to throw you to that damn place...... old man said indifferently, as if the young man in front of him had nothing to do with him.

"Uncle...... I ......" the young man was still about to plead, but the door to the basement was slammed open and several soldiers rushed in.

"General, the order personally issued by His Majesty, let us take this man and let him go to atone for the sins of those innocent people." An officer, after giving a military salute, personally handed a blank piece of paper to the old man.

The old man didn't look at the order, and silently turned around and left the basement......

……

Half a day later, a young man with his limbs broken and blindfolded eyes was pushed to the ground by several people from a speeding military jeep, and then the jeep quickly turned and fled......

The young man woke up from the pain, but he could clearly smell a faint stench, and a strange roar that was getting closer......

……

"Don't you give him a good time? It's your nephew, after all. A man in a general's uniform said to the old man beside him.

"No, since he caused the trouble, let him feel the blame of the innocent people who were killed." The old man watched coldly as the group rushed out of the forest, covered in wounds, some of which were even visible to the bone; Some of the "people" whose necks have been bitten and whose heads are tilted to one side due to the loss of balance support, but who are still able to walk......

Soon, youth is buried among these "people......

The man raised his hand, then waved it down slightly......

The Hilton Army, which had temporarily relied on the terrain to build a defensive line, quickly fired at these people......

One by one, the shells landed on them, but the effect was small......

In the eyes of the increasingly frightened Hiltons, their weapons did not seem to do anything for them......

The rout appeared, and just after the group of "people" rushed to the front of the defense line more than ten meters, one by one the Hilton troops fled backwards......

The ......soldier was about to flee with the old man with an unkind face, but unexpectedly a gunshot rang out beside him......

The "......" soldier sighed, then quickly got into the military truck and left the place......

The first line of defense was lost, which also became a turning point in the first cataclysm......
