At the behest of King Dane, Prime Minister Verina set in motion the entire state apparatus of Sindlaire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info For four years, Sindelare's overall administrative strategy has been biased towards peaceful development in the context of domestic stability and peace.

And now, the huge state apparatus is beginning to change its face and move towards war.

From here, we can also see the development of Sindlaire in the past four years.

At the beginning, in the era of warlord warfare, it was impossible for the entire country and all the warlord forces combined to pull out 100,000 elite regular troops plus 100,000 garrison regiments, let alone recruit 300,000 militia organizations. Without the rapid development in the past four years, the improvement of the organizational structure of the national government organs, and the great unification of the entire country, it would have been impossible to achieve this point.

This is why countries like Florence, Pudri and Victoria are afraid of Sindelare, and even the strongest empire on the continent, such as Promelison, is afraid of Sindelare.

I have to be afraid, as far as the power of the Hindlaire Kingdom is concerned, even if it really starts a full-scale war with the new empire of Promi, it can't be said otherwise, anyway, if Prometry wins the battle, he will have to break his muscles and bones, and he will be shaken fundamentally.

It's just that the emergence of the Cursed Church now has made a great change in the situation on the entire continent.

……

On the 17th of July, Emhar officially started a war with the army of the undead from the direction of Broken Dragon Peak.

The patriarch of the Thunder Clan, Muken Thunder, is the Supreme Commander of Emhar. He led his dwarven warriors and the elite troops supported by the Fifth Legion in a desperate struggle against the undead.

At least 40,000 spirits converted from elves, around Emhar.

The undead descended from a rugged mountain path dotted with dwarven bunkers and outposts.

In fact, this is Emhar's first line of defense. In these bunkers and outposts, human soldiers and dwarves have fought the undead many times.

According to Muken's estimates, even if he relied only on these outposts and bunkers, he was sure that he would be able to keep the undead out for more than two months, based on four thousand warriors.

The army of the undead is indeed numerous, but the rugged mountain roads are clearly not suitable for the army. In fact, there are quite a few low-level undead, because of the lack of wisdom, and because the number of legions is too large, the commanders of high-level undead, corpse demons and necromancers cannot perfectly control the actions of each undead, which leads to a large number of casualties of the undead when traveling in the Broken Dragon Peak area.

Basically, they all fell down the mountain trail.

This attrition alone caused the undead to suffer more than five hundred losses during their march in the past few days.

And when it came to entering the fortified area of Emhar's bunker, the undead were hindered even more.

The bunkers built by the dwarves are quite level. They are usually built on difficult terrain that the enemy must take if they want to attack Emhar.

Of course, there are not many such places in the plains and desert areas. However, in a whole rugged mountainous area, there are too many places that meet the requirements.

If the undead want to advance, they will have to uproot these bunkers one by one.

However, due to the terrain, the undead could not give full play to their superiority in strength, and there were only so many troops that could be put into battle at the same time, and there was no way to form a crushing numerical advantage over the defenders in the bunker.

Heavy infantry, such as the Dwarven Shield Guard and the White Wolf Guard, relied on the bunkers to block the undead's further advance. Behind them, ranged units such as the Crossbowmen and Spearthrowers unleashed their firepower and delivered powerful blows to the invading undead.

It is impossible to build a guard bunker that is too large, and the terrain does not allow it. Generally speaking, a bunker can accommodate a small squad of soldiers, and the larger ones will not exceed thirty or forty people.

However, the dwarves and humans rely on such small bunkers to constantly 'bleed' the undead army.

Ten days later, at the end of July, the undead were still no direct threat to Emhar - they had not even been able to see Emhar's gates.

As Dane had expected, the kingdom's defense line in the east was still very solid. This was inextricably linked to the preparations he had begun several years earlier for the possible outbreak of the Church of the Damned, including the establishment of Emhar.

However, on the side of the Duchy of Florence, the situation is not so good.

Blackwood Castle was already breached on the nineteenth.

Paran's Sixth Legion suffered a lot of losses in the process of defending Blackwood City. After the remnants of his army withdrew from Blackwood City, they underwent a reorganization, and two wings were directly abolished.

At the moment, there were only more than 5,000 troops left in his hands. Counting the Holy Alliance's armies that he coerced along, the number would not have exceeded six thousand.

The Sixth Legion was crippled.

But Paran's credit is still indelible. At the very least, the Church of the Damned didn't have the full fir realm to occupy as much as it had hoped. At least 85,000 of the 100,000 fir leaders were evacuated to the heart of the Duchy of Florence.

At the same time, the resistance of Paland's Sixth Army also bought time for Pandorf's Fourth Army.

As soon as Pandorf received the order, he had already rushed from the wasteland pass to Florence. After a long desert journey, I came to the Marquis of the Bull and then to the Iron Horse's Grip.

By this time, the 20,000 soldiers of the garrison led by Colonel Chandler, who should now be called Brigadier General Chandler, had taken advantage of the past few days to rebuild the Iron Horse's Grip, a town that had been burned down under the dragon's breath and was now in ruins, into a temporary line of defense.

On the twenty-fourth, the Sixth Legion, which had fought and retreated, returned to the grip of the Iron Horse. On the same day, Admiral Pehins, with his own guard, sixty elite rangers, arrived in the grip of the Iron Horse.

With His Majesty Dane's appointment, she took over the command of all Hindlaire's troops in the Iron Horse Grip and became the commander-in-chief of the Western Front.

At the same time, she brought with her an entire army of the King's Guard. However, since this army set out from the hinterland of Sindelare, it was impossible for this army to run as fast as Pesins only led his general guard. They are still adrift on the sea with a transport ship, and it is estimated that they will have to wait until August to reach the grip of the iron horse.
