Bronham, who had withdrawn to the city, immediately summoned his subordinates to rearrange the defensive line to ensure the safety of the transportation line and core facilities, and then confessed his defeat to the commander-in-chief of the Tianzhu Theater of Operations.

If you don't be honest, you can't do it! The Scourge Legion has established a relatively complete monitoring system, and Bronham's defeat may have reached headquarters, and if he is not honest, he may be stripped off by his master.

In fact, the Holy Guard, which had suffered heavy casualties, was also overstretched in arms and materials, and was unable to launch a sabotage war.

The mechanics of the Holy Guard cobbled together more than two dozen motorcycles from parts of a large number of motorcycle structures, and one of the strongest squads harassed and wrecked them.

The remaining more than 1,000 people were reinforcing their defenses in their place, digging caves in the mountains, and preparing to defend to the death.

They have special psionic mushroom spores provided by the Dragon Warriors, and they can move the corpses of the Scourge Legion to the cave and sprinkle them with spores, which will not be long before they can grow strong mushrooms, and the mages can also extract water from the air to make water. As long as you are not afraid of disgusting and unpalatable, you are not afraid of running off water and food at all.

The Scourge Legion is also speechless for this group of humans, and this is not how they are looking for death! If you don't retreat, if you don't fight, you just squat next to you and disgust you.

It wasn't until five days later that the new commander of the Gerald garrison would arrive with a new batch of reinforcements to take over the city's defenses. Bronham was demoted to become a full-time guard of the Soul Crucible.

At this time, the battle on the Pakistan-Railway Front was already in full swing. Such a small force of more than 1,000 people of the Holy Guard was not in the eyes of the natural disaster at all, and a team of gargoyles watched them nearby. Attack any point, and Gerald's mobile forces will be enough to support.

The offensive of the Southwest Expeditionary Force of the Republic far east of Tianzhu was not a small fight.

Rong Zheng has been here for more than a year, and has completely digested the foundation laid during Xiang Ningxuan's trip to Tianzhu, completing the adaptation of the humans of Amani Trolls, the swamp kingdoms of Taitalia, Mengze, and Bagan.

The expeditionary force currently includes more than 80,000 army of the Republic, more than 30,000 brave and skilled Amani trolls, and more than 100,000 other troops, a total of about 230,000 combat troops. In order to maintain the logistical supply of this force, tens of thousands of local garrison troops and more than 100,000 logistics personnel are needed.

At the same time, the expeditionary force established a comprehensive cooperative relationship with the Kocada government, which was governed by the People's Party and was completely modeled after the republican system.

Compared with the central power of Tianzhu, which was controlled by traditional forces, Kocada's administrative system was more centralized and efficient, and in times of war, it was able to break out with greater war potential. Most of the human settlements in the eastern part of Tianzhu have been controlled by Kocada, with a total population of 15 million, and it is currently the only force in Tianzhu that can launch an active attack.

While the Drew government was unable to launch a diversionary offensive, Kocada mobilized 150,000 soldiers to launch a new offensive in cooperation with the Southwest Expeditionary Force.

However, the only uncertainty now is the black dragon princess Onexia, who occupies the Jiwan region.

At the beginning, Onexia had fought against natural disasters with Xiang Ningxuan, and then led his dragon beast army to occupy the chaotic Jiwang region. For humanity in the apocalypse, it is better to be ruled by a warlord than to be ruled by a black dragon.

At the very least, Onexia enjoys sitting on a throne as a human being, and occasionally plays intrigue political games with some of the rebels.

But since Deathwing's appearance, things have changed. What the attitude of the Black Dragon Princess was, no one could be sure.

In view of the sudden tension on the roof of the world, the Southwest Expeditionary Force has no time to settle Onexia first. The main forces of the entire army have been assembled and are ready to fight the old rival Sarufar Jr.'s Scourge Eastern Legion.

Although the main force of the Scourge that has been mechanized has greatly increased its combat power, it not only needs more psychic towers to provide soul energy, but also needs a large number of ammunition parts and other materials, and its dependence on logistics supplies has expanded exponentially.

The industrial base on the roof of the world is in the hands of the republic, and natural disasters do not have any logistical basis, and all logistical materials have to be transported from Tianzhu.

The tall snowy mountains stretched between Tianzhu and Huaxia, and the supplies to support the army's operations could only be transported from the gap in the southeast of the mountains.

Two or three hundred kilometers to the south of this location is an important corridor for the Republic to deliver war materials to Tianzhu, and this distance is completely within the strike range of the air forces of the two sides. Therefore, even if there is no request from Xiang Ningxuan, Rong Zheng will play a big game with the natural disaster here.

At the same time as the more than 300,000 troops of the Earth Security Alliance were mobilized, the Tianzhu Eastern Group Army under the command of "old friend" Sarufar Jr. was also actively preparing for war. A main field corps, reinforced to 160,000 troops, plus 500,000 garrison troops, was stationed on hundreds of kilometers of defense line, digging tunnels to repair fortifications, and assuming a defensive posture.

In addition, a legion led by Lady Dead Whisper also approached Kocada from another direction, trying to contain Kokada's forces. A real war always involves the whole body, and the Southwest Expeditionary Force moves a front of more than 1,000 kilometers. The fate of the individual is insignificant on such a battlefield.

The Southwest Expeditionary Force's attack pattern was the same as that of the Longxiang Army, with large-scale air strikes and rocket artillery to plow the defensive line built by natural disasters, and then the ground troops rushed forward to fight.

But the Scourge Eastern Army held these places longer and established a more solid defensive line. Not only is there ground defense, but tunnels have been dug out of the ground in all directions. Air strikes and artillery strikes can only destroy surface defenses, and the underground fortifications of the natural disaster can only be destroyed little by little by ground forces.

For tunnel warfare, the Southwest Expeditionary Force has long studied it. Various underground detection devices, ground-penetrating bombs, tunneling machinery and other corresponding means are also fully prepared. As long as you don't build a huge dungeon supported by a psionic circle, it will collapse even if you can't get in.

Up to now, it's like a real-time strategy hitting the middle game, and routines such as stealing chickens and dogs and releasing tactics have been difficult to play miraculous effects. Both sides are very familiar with their respective routines, and the final victory or defeat can only rely on the comprehensive national strength composed of military, economic, and scientific and technological forces.

The general logistics base of the expeditionary force was set up in the southeast of Deka, the capital of Mengze. In the past year, a variety of ultra-modern machine factories and energy centers have sprung up, and this logistics base is not just a transfer of materials, but with Rong Zheng's special ability, a manufacturing center that is not inferior to any industrial park has been built.

From low-grade steel to all kinds of weapons and ammunition, there are more than 10 large factories in the park. Using local resources, energy, and manpower to directly process them into combat materials is much more cost-effective than transporting them from within the country.

Of course, the core technologies of the Psionic Era are all in the hands of China, and these precious core components require an extremely high industrial base to produce, and can only be shipped from China for assembly.

Such an industrial center is also extremely well defended and fully enclosed. Surrounded by a wall more than five meters high, the park is lined with anti-aircraft guns and missile groups, which can take Deathwing down even if he is in person.
