Chapter 30: The Prelude to Wendell's Battle

According to the original plan, Zhang Shixin was supposed to land directly in a port area in the southwest of the Hilton Empire.

Zhang Shixin doesn't have much opinion on such a plan. Because for him, it doesn't matter to him whether he goes to battle early or fights later.

However, Zhang Shixin and Grelian, who followed them, never imagined that the southeast defense line, which the Hilton Empire had painstakingly operated for more than a hundred years, would actually collapse on the entire front.

Grelian knew very well that once the southeast defense line was lost, then the southwestern region of the Hilton Empire would inevitably become a place for the enemy to fall in one fell swoop.

For the first time, the defenders in these areas have either been redeployed to the south-eastern region or have only a few militia units that have little combat effectiveness at all.

Second, the southeastern region of the Hilton Empire is more of a flat river that has no danger to defend.

She had to think about whether she should follow the original plan and let Zhang Shixin disembark at those ports.

Finally, she sent a telegram to the palace using the telegraph of the transport ship.

……

Half an hour later, Grarian, who had received a reply, knew that the situation was far more serious than she could have imagined.

Because of the loss of the southeast defense line, it was not that the enemy's offensive was too fierce, but that the crown prince of the Hilton Empire, who was the overseer, her nominal brother, actually led his troops to welcome the other party across the southeast defense line.

Grelian's never imagined that this usually gentle and wise brother would do such a thing.

If the other party did such a thing because of that position, Grelian naturally didn't believe it. Because her brother didn't care about that position at all, he seemed to prefer to find a place to live in seclusion with his civilian sister-in-law and two lovely little nephews.

"Oops!" Grelian remembered the sister-in-law who met his brother in a chance encounter, but made him fall in love at first sight, when the two got married, many people in the upper echelons of the empire were not optimistic that such a civilian girl could become the next queen of the empire.

Especially with his deceased, nominal mother, the Heiningen family, the second most prominent in the Hilton Empire, originally regarded this position as his own bag.

But his brother politely refused the other party's request many times, if it weren't for the fact that the relationship between the two sides was still very close, I am afraid that the Heiningen family would do some quite drastic things.

Such a situation is completely unacceptable for the Heiningen family, who cannot tolerate the decline of their family in the near future.

They seem to have done a lot of dirty tricks, and if it weren't for the fact that my brother was very protective of his sister-in-law, I am afraid that my father would not have two grandsons who he himself also liked quite much.

Although he also complained that his daughter-in-law was from a commoner, for the sake of his son and grandson, he also acquiesced to the continuation of this situation.

All this should have changed soon after his brother ascended the throne.

Because at that time, after the elder brother grasped the supreme power of the empire, even if he tore his face with the Heiningen family, the elder brother would be invincible.

But it all seemed to happen something that no one could have predicted.

Grelian decided to use the intelligence force he had left behind in the Northern Legion to find out what was going on.

……

Of course, the result shocked her, because her brother went to the front line to supervise the battle, and it took a lot of effort to gradually stabilize the battle situation, and at the same time, there was a car accident.

The car on its way to the palace was smashed into a pile of scrap metal by a truck at high speed.

His sister-in-law and two little nephews died in the car accident.

And his father, who was waiting for his two grandsons to play with him, fainted after receiving the news.

After receiving the news, the elder brother of the southeast defense line spat out a mouthful of blood, and then roared for everyone to leave the room he was in.

When his brother walked out of the room after a day, everyone saw that his brother, who was supposed to be blonde, had turned into a full head of white hair.

Everyone was shocked, only to see the other party walk step by step to the telegram room, and then personally sent a telegram to **.

The Emperor was furious when he received this telegram, which was only a few words, and he refuted his son for being a great rebel, but he looked at it again and burst into tears.

The telegram read:

Give me justice.

For many people, the meaning of these six words is fairly simple.

But for the current emperor, these six words are tantamount to a choice.

Naturally, he knew very well who the murderer was. But he didn't dare to do something again at this time that would shake the empire immensely.

The strength of the Hainingen family is not small, especially at this time, the emperor can't help but throw a mouse.

However, God knows what crazy actions the son who is no longer much different from the madman will do.

He thought about it for a long time, but he could only keep it in his heart for the time being, and then sent a telegram to his son, telling him to concentrate on resisting the enemy.

As a result, this prince made a move that made everyone unbelievable, and directly led the troops to surrender to the invaders.

At this point, the defense line that the empire had painstakingly operated for more than a hundred years began to collapse......

……

Grelian wanted to despise her father and brother, but in their hearts, she had done nothing wrong, and she knew it.

The father just wants to maintain a situation focused on defending against foreign enemies, and the elder brother wants to give justice to his wife and children who died tragically.

Two people can't say who's right and who's wrong.

It's just that they did a stupid thing at the wrong time.

When Grelian learned of this situation, she slumped in her chair weakly, she didn't know what she was going to do next, she could even think that the Hilton Empire was about to face the end of the country.

She really wanted to beat the two fools hard, and she also wanted to slaughter the second goods of the Heiningen family.

However, she has a lot to do now.

At least......

"If even I fall, then the surname Hilton will become a ...... history"

Glacian glanced in the mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and sighed softly.

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

In fact, what Grelian didn't know was that the situation facing the Hilton Empire was much more dangerous.

Not to mention the powerful Beres Alliance, even William, who verbally promised not to stab him in the back, was moved by his ministers, and he was a little eager to accept the Berez Alliance's proposal to carve up the Hilton Empire.

But Hurley played the excellent nature of the girl's extroversion at this time, she did not explicitly dissuade her brother, but asked the other party to ask Zhang Shixin and others, as well as her ally, the Kapani Kingdom, before making a conclusion.

William naturally knew his sister's thoughts, but he had to do it both in public and private.

Therefore, telegrams were sent from the telegraph room in the palace in several directions.

Zhang Shixin received a telegram forwarded by Fei Lei, and he expressed his shock at the declassified news, because Fei Lei said that the Gultoka Empire had the idea of dividing the Hilton Empire with the Beres Alliance.

The relationship between the Gultoka Empire and the Hilton Empire is not very good, and such thoughts can surface, and there is a deeper hatred for the Hilton Empire, especially when the Hilton Empire did not openly support the rebels in the previous year, and the Kapani Kingdom will not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs.

He is indispensable for such a situation, but reason tells Zhang Shixin that even if the alliance between the two countries completely divides the Hilton Empire with each other, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses.

He replied to Fire, asking for his opinion.

Fei Lei's reply was quickly transferred to Zhang Shixin's hands: "If the boss wants to have a bigger idea in terms of land, he can support His Majesty William's approach, but then you must risk being directly attacked by two powerful countries." ”

Zhang Shixin finally thought about why he felt the uneasiness of this thought, because four words were enough to explain everything: "Lips and teeth are cold." ”

Zhang Shixin took a deep breath, and then said, "Convey it to William and De Perry to me. ”

……

In the royal palace of Capani City, De Perry and the ministers looked at each other a little after looking at the telegram with four words, they didn't know the meaning of these four words, but they couldn't believe that such philosophical words could come out of Zhang Shixin.

However, none of the people here are stupid, they know exactly what Zhang Shixin wants to express in these four words.

As Zhang Shixin said, even if it is a short-term benefit, if the alliance between the two countries is directly between the two powers, I am afraid there is no benefit.

Although some people do not believe that the two alliances of the north and south of the world will unite against them, if such a situation really occurs, the Kapani kingdom that bears the brunt will definitely not end well.

It is true that there is not much pressure on the Gultoka Empire to single out an alliance, but it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for the Kapani Kingdom to single out an alliance.

I'm afraid that even with the addition of Zhang Shixin, who can be called a famous general in the world, and his elven dragon security company, it is good to be able to maintain a stalemate.

Therefore, leaving the Hilton Empire as a barrier to cushion the pressure from the south is more beneficial to the Kapani Kingdom and the Gultoka Empire.

Moreover, the Kapani Kingdom now needs money in many places, and if they forcibly send troops again, I am afraid that even if the Gultoka Empire is willing to borrow another amount of money, they will not have a few decades to pay it off.

Therefore, after taking into account the other circumstances, the Kingdom of Capani decided to politely refuse William's request to send troops together with the Elven Dragon Security Company.

The reason for refusal was also quite simple, they just conveyed Zhang Shixin's four words to William.

……

William, who was deliberating with the minister, couldn't help but laugh when he saw these four words, because his prospective brother-in-law, who seemed to like to fight and scrape precious metals, actually said such philosophical words.

But after laughing, he seriously thought about the meaning of these four words.

After deciding that the Gultoka Empire would fully support the Hilton Empire, some ministers wanted to say something, but after hearing William's sneer, they could only swallow the words that were about to come out of their mouths:

"Money is a good thing, but if your family is in big trouble because of some money, whether this money is a good thing or not depends on your opinion."

William's words were quite heartfelt, and it was clear that William had already mastered most of the "legacy" left to him by the old emperor.

However, there is a problem that William has to pay attention to now, that is, even if Gultoka can send troops now, I am afraid that he will not be able to send many troops.

The additional territory required more troops, but for now, the forces of the Gultoka Empire were probably only able to maintain the country's defenses. If some troops are drawn out, the number of troops will not be a problem at about 100,000, but if there are more, there will be problems.

In many places, it was necessary to maintain a certain number of garrisons to avoid large-scale rebellions.

And these 100,000 people are only the Southern Legion that has been transferred, and even if the Southern Legion does not have to face pressure from the Hilton Empire, it must maintain a certain number to maintain local law and order.

Therefore, 100,000 people is already the limit of the number of troops he can mobilize in the short term.

The Capani Kingdom had no money and soldiers, and the Gultoka Empire's finances began to run small local deficits, but the problem was not too big.

William didn't want to use his own military funds to feed his allies, but he thought of a good replacement.

That's Elven Dragon Security.

It's a pity that the boss takes people out to eat, and if the rest of the people are like last time, it is estimated that Zhang Shixin's heart will not be too happy.

Some things can be stopped, and William knows this very well.

Even if what happened last time actually had nothing to do with him, he was technically an "accomplice".

At the same time, there is another point, that is, the other troops of the Elven Dragon Security Company also suffered a lot of battle losses in the Oswel War, so to speak, they will not be able to send troops in a short period of time.

Maybe Zhang Shixin also saw this and personally led the troops to the battlefield.

William thought of a lot of things, and in the end, he sent a telegram.

"In any case, if the fighting situation is delayed for two months before it completely deteriorates, the Gultoka Empire will send about 200,000 troops to support the Hilton Empire."

This telegram is multidirectional.

After receiving this telegram, the Kingdom of Kapani discussed it once, and in the end, they also proposed to send 50,000 troops to support the Gultoka Empire.

However, there is a proviso to this, which is that the Hilton Empire should bear about half of all expenses.

Upon receiving such news, the Emperor of the Hilton Empire, who was recuperating from his illness, was relieved, expressed his gratitude for the support of the alliance between the two countries, and accepted the terms and conditions of the Capani Kingdom.

Although that money is not a small number, for the Hilton Empire, it is also quite cost-effective to exchange this money for a support army.

But then, a piece of news came......

The Heiningen family, who had a large presence in the southwest of the Hilton Empire, decided to defect.

After receiving the news, the emperor shouted loudly before fainting: "Regret not being at the beginning! Regret not being the first place!! ”

As a result, the ministers and a twelve-year-old prince Xiao Zhengtai were in a hurry......

That night, Xiao Zhengtai, who went back to the room to rest despite the persuasion of everyone, could only look at the bright moon in the sky from afar, and muttered, "Brother, sister, where are you now?" My father's health is getting worse and worse, and I'm worried, but I don't know what to do with it. ”

……

Grelian was communicating face-to-face with Zhang Shixin at this time.

The rebellion of the Heiningen family caused quite a bad problem, and she knew very well how influential this family was in the southwestern part of the empire.

Therefore, she asked Zhang Shixin to give priority to delaying the rebels of the Heiningen family to attack the capital city of Hiltonis.

Zhang Shixin did not accept this condition, he knew very well that his 10,000 people could not withstand the encirclement and interception of nearly 200,000 rebels.

Even if the other party's request does not violate the contract, but for this kind of obvious delivery...... Ahem, wrong, the act of sending him to death, Zhang Shixin shook his head like a rattle.

After a long time, Grelian, who had lost his patience, broke out: "The surname is Zhang!" What do you want to do to be able to accede to my request? ”

Zhang Shi thought about it, and then put forward a request that the other party should not agree to, deliberately pretending to be a lustful **, and said: "Hehe, if you accompany me for one night, I may be able to agree to you." ”

Zhang Shixin didn't get a slap in the face as he deserved, nor did he get any cynicism, what he saw was that Grelian gave his maids a look, and after the other party hesitated for a while, he retreated.

"Your sister! Is this a Shenma situation? Zhang Shixin couldn't think about these things a little.

Grelian looked at Zhang Shixin, who was shocked, and took a deep breath......

Zhang Shixin saw a girl gently undressing in front of him, his mind was obviously empty, he came back to his senses, and quickly ran to the door, intending to seize the door and escape.

After he put his hand on the edge of the door, he didn't look back, but said directly: "That, Your Highness Princess, I'm just joking!" ”

Zhang Shixin said as he twisted the doorknob......

“why???” Zhang Shixin found a fact that was hard to believe, that is, the door was actually locked.

"Sometimes, if you say something, you have to be responsible, don't you?" After Zhang Shixin heard this, he subconsciously turned his head, but he felt that his ** was blocked by a pair of soft little mouths......

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

The next morning, when Zhang Shixin woke up, he saw the faint tears left on Grelian's beautiful face, and shook his head in his heart:

"It's good to say that I just coaxed this aunt and grandmother to obey. However, this time I have to fight for my life, why do I have to fight to the death and risk my life to accomplish such a thing? ”

"Because this is also your mission, but I still underestimate you, or ...... What's wrong with you? ”

Of course, Zhang Shixin knew that this voice was the words that Cinya, the damn little girl, transmitted through his mind and said in his head.

It's just that as a man, Zhang Shixin naturally won't just admit defeat: "Otherwise...... Why don't you try it? ”

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to become a loli control, I despise you on behalf of the master, and there is one more point, that is, she woke up, you ask for more blessings."

When Zhang Shixin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, he saw that beside him, Grelian was blushing and lowered his head, not daring to look at him......

……

A few days later, Zhang Shixin's troops landed on a shoal in the southwestern part of the Hilton Empire.

Since most of the rebels were constantly gathering northward, Zhang Shixin's advance was quite easy, but first, there was no shortage of supplies, and second, Zhang Shixin, who did not have extra troops to defend the towns, just put the small coffers of some towns into the eyes of Gralian's contempt, and after looting the rats to starvation, he continued to advance.

Although he hasn't experienced too fierce battles these days, the experience reward of capturing the town is enough for Zhang Shixin to accumulate a lot of experience.

Zhang Shixin used these experiences to point out a tank that even Grelian was amazed.

But Zhang Shixin knew that this thing itself was born for street fighting. He pointed out this thing, more prepared to attack the Heiningen family's lair.

Therefore, this thing is more of a symbol, and in Zhang Shixin's eyes, he has no great use except as a meat shield.

……

Two days later, Zhang Shixin was on a hill where he could observe Wendell City, and he had a good feeling about the city's defense system.

Although he is an enemy, he can make the nest into such an airtight scene, Zhang Shixin has to praise the other party.

However, no matter how good the defense is, it doesn't mean much in the face of a stronger offensive force.

It's like a steel shield no matter how strong it is, if it is attacked with all the strength of a peerless brave man like Xiang Yu, such a steel shield can't defend against such an attack.

Therefore, no matter how good Wendell City's defense is, after Zhang Shixin has a spear that can be called an artifact, the victory or defeat between the contradictions can be imagined.

However, this "artifact" also has drawbacks, that is, the accuracy is not very good, and it is too expensive.

Zhang Shixin has only installed six doors so far.

Although there are not many of them, Zhang Shixin knows very well that the caliber of this cannon is more than twice as large as all the guns in the game.

It's fair to say that what can't be done in the game, this thing can be done with ease.

Although it is indeed a bit of a bit accurate in terms of accuracy, even if it misses closely, this thing has a considerable lethality.

Zhang Shixin is looking forward to the combination of the strongest spear and the strongest shield in his hand, what combat effectiveness can be exerted.

At the same time, the tank that can be quite advanced is also a success factor that he can rely on. (To be continued.) )
