Crodina, the capital of the Alassian Empire, the main hall of the royal palace of Arad.

"Marshal Samp, are you guilty?" Arad sat high on the throne and said coldly to the Manchu civil and military forces below.

"Your Majesty, the loss of Mislan and Echenwu is indeed my mistake, please punish Your Majesty!" Samp knelt under the throne and said.

"Hmph, just the small town of Misland and Exingwu, this king is not in his eyes!" Arad said angrily, "But more than a third of the warships in the Third War Zone have been damaged in battle, and the home port has been destroyed, what else can we use to compete with Catherine at sea?" ”

Sampu explained: "Your Majesty, I suspect that Catherine is secretly dealing with the Alchemy Country, and the six warships that attacked the home port of the Third War Zone are all the warships of the Alchemy Country in active service, and on the night of the attack, there were also unique troops of the Alchemy Country, Naga, Gargoyles and Great Goblins, and we were also caught off guard!" ”

Arad angrily asked, "Is the Alchemy Nation involved in our civil war in Aracia?" Why didn't this matter be reported earlier"

Sampu then explained: "Your Majesty was angry, and Weichen was also very puzzled at the time, and later questioned the embassy and consulates of the Alchemy Country, and they refused to admit it, saying that Daniel, the son of the Holy Maiden of the Mizusawa Country, rented the warship of the Alchemy Country to protect the trade routes, and showed a copy of the lease documents, as for the Naga, the gargoyle and the great goblin on the battleship, they quibbled that there was absolutely no such thing!" And according to our investigation, the owner of those warships is indeed Daniel of Mizusawa Country. ”

Arad asked, confused, "Who the hell is this Daniel?" ”

Sampo said, "Daniel is not only the son of the Holy Maiden of the Mizusawa Country, but he is also the only student of the magic mage Delonso, and now he and his fleet are in Fuxing City, and Delongso is there!" ”

"Magic Mage Dronso?" Arad was surprised and said, "Isn't he on Rainbow Island, isn't he not involved in politics, what is he going to do in Fuxing City?" ”

Sampu said: "According to Wechen's investigation, Delongso wants to build a magic guild in Fuxing City to help the hundreds of thousands of refugees gathered there, and he has not intervened in any political events!" ”

Arad asked, "What is the origin of Fuxing City, have you found out?" ”

Sampu said: "The Lord of Renaissance City's name is Higg, a magic apprentice on Rainbow Island, and he is also deeply connected with the magic guild of Dilith, and he has formed a volunteer army in Revival City to pledge allegiance to Catherine!" ”

"Higg? The Magic Guild of Tilis?" Arad stood up from his throne in surprise, "No way, it shouldn't be him, in the report nine years ago, he shouldn't have survived!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's better to kill by mistake than to miss it!" Sampu said, "Besides, Wechen once sent Campbell as an envoy to Fuxing City, and according to his description of the lord of Fuxing City, this Higg is likely to be the only son of Marshal Michael, so Wechen can't wait to come and report!" ”

"Sampu, you have discovered this important information, it is very valuable to us, your punishment can be remembered by this king first, and this king allows you to make meritorious contributions to your crimes!" Arad said, shouting loudly: "Someone, immediately fly the pigeon to pass the book, and in half a month, convene an emergency military meeting of all the field marshals!" ”

……

Half a month later, the military conference room of the royal palace of Arad, the capital of the Alasia Empire, Crodina and the capital of the Erathia Empire.

"Hmph, ridiculous Catherine!" Arad said coldly at the military meeting, "Since we took the capital, we know that she still has a lot of strength, so we allow her to be in a safe corner!" But in the past six years, we have worked hard to prepare for the country's military mobilization, economic recovery, and foreign relations, and now we are far stronger than Catherine. It's ridiculous that she was unwilling to be in the dark, and even made a move to us first, hahaha! ”

As he spoke, Arad walked up to the huge sand table, pointed to a place, and said, "Colenwa is so arrogant that he dares to eat my Mislan and Echenwu in a row, and penetrate three hundred kilometers into our interior like a nail!" Since they have moved the real character first, how can we be willing to tolerate it? Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any ideas? ”

"Your Majesty!" Field Marshal Alydam of the Second War Zone said, "I, the Second War Zone, am willing to take revenge on Catherine's First Army and take the three cities in the front of the opponent's First Army!" ”

Arad smiled: "Aridang Marshal, we are no longer the army of six years ago, now we are the rulers, what we need is to completely suppress the rebellion, if we force Catherine, let the army of the first and second legions desperately intersperse and destroy our territory, we will also find it difficult to accept, what we have to do is to annihilate the opponent's army step by step for the camp, not to defeat any army, not to occupy a certain city!" This is a grand strategy that cannot be changed! What the king needs is to quell the civil unrest, eat the remnants of Catherine completely, and make her army disappear forever. Of course, the meal needs to be eaten one bite at a time, and since the other party's General Kolenva has set an example and highlighted such a piece, then, let's eat his bite first! ”

Arad glanced at the marshals gathered around the sand table, then pointed to the sand table and said, "Order, the Fourth Army and the Second War Zone will put pressure on Catherine's First Army and control them in the existing area!" ”

Gomez, the Marshal of the Fourth Legion, said: "Your Majesty, of course the Fourth Legion is loyal to Your Majesty, but we are in the border theater of the Mizusawa Country, and we have no spare strength to make any moves against Catherine's First Legion!" ”

Arad glanced at Gomez and said coldly: "Marshal Gomez, it's been six years, don't you still see the situation clearly?" In the past six years, this king has never treated your Fourth Legion badly, and to this day, you still want to step on two boats? Mizusawa is now weak in national strength, and there is no chance of threatening us in ten or eight years, and your Fourth Army has more than 800,000 people, so you have done nothing in the troubled times? Besides, this king only asked you to put pressure on the front line of Catherine's First Legion, and made a gesture, and did not let you make any superfluous movements, even if you want to disobey this? ”

Gomez hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is ordered!" ”

Arad continued: "The King's First War Zone will continue to put pressure on the Second Army, Marshal Mapote, you lead the Fourth War Zone, in the shortest possible time, from the west of Andalu Province to the south, to the seaside, this King will cut off all contact with the outside world with the hundreds of thousands of troops of Colenva and the Volunteers of Fuxing City!" After the division is completed, the Third Theater must completely annihilate the forces of Colenva within two months and fully recover Echenu, Misland and Fuxing City! ”

Ma Potter immediately said: "My Fourth Theater is responsible for defending Montgosa's Fifth Legion, and we have withdrawn, what will happen to the Fifth Legion?" ”

"Hehe, Marshal Marpote, you don't have to worry about the Fifth Legion, Montgoser is already weak, he has been rebelling for six years, he is short of supplies, and his army is disheartened! This king has made careful arrangements, and in less than a month, Montgosa will either surrender or die, and the Fifth Legion will also be under our command, hahaha! ”

Ma Potter said: "Your Majesty, even so, it will take at least one and a half months for the Fourth War Zone to complete the deployment and intersperse, it will take two months for the Third War Zone to complete the encirclement and annihilation, and our Fourth War Zone will hold out for at least three months, or even longer, in the enemy's two-sided attack, Your Majesty, Wei Chen is afraid that the Fourth War Zone will be in danger of being wiped out by then!" ”

Arad said angrily: "Lord Marshal, what is wrong with you, what about your guts, there has been no major war for six years, has it smoothed your will? How many more people are there in Catherine? Less than three million, while our Third Legion has five theaters plus the Fourth Legion more than four million! Marshal Marpote, you have more than 600,000 people in the Fourth War Zone, and you can't stop the enemy's siege for three or four months, so don't put your head on your neck, Marshal! ”

Ma Pote trembled and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen takes orders!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Sampu said, "The warships of the Third War Zone are no match for the battleships of Catherine's Second Legion, and with the fleet of Fuxing City, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to have an advantage at sea!" ”

Arad laughed and said, "Hahaha, Marshal Samp, were you scared by the Second Legion?" Okay, now this king has ordered that the warships of the Fifth Theater and the Third Theater be gathered together, and all the warships and naval forces will be immediately concentrated in the port of Truto to establish the Sixth Theater of Operations, and the marshal of the theater will be served by the former Admiral of the Fifth Theater of Operations, and the reorganization will be completed in a month, in addition, since the Alchemy Kingdom has reached out to our civil war, it will immediately inform Shenlong Island of the news and buy warships from them! Hehe, they can sneak attack your home port, don't you have the guts to sneak attack the military port of Fuxing City? Having taken control of the harbor of Fuxing City, even if the fleets of Catherine's First and Second Legions come to attack, there will still be no problem for you to blockade the coastal defenses! ”

Sgers said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen commands!" ”

Arad thought for a moment, and then said: "In addition, Cross of the Forest Country has occupied our territory in Alasia for many years, and it is not so cheap to not choose a side in this civil war!" Send an envoy to the Forest Country at once, and ask Cross what he means, and in three months' time, the king will see Cross's diplomatic corps appear in the city of Crodina, and it is better that a prince can come and take him hostage, otherwise, when I have quelled the civil strife, they will be expelled from Erathia. ”

"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Baroyan hurriedly said, "Will this force Cross?" If they choose Catherine, we will be in the back! ”

Arad smiled, "Prime Minister, you're too worried. Klose doesn't have the guts, we still have 500,000 people in the fifth war zone around them, if we can't solve the hidden danger of Cross, 500,000 people in the fifth war zone will be tied hand and foot, this king does not ask Cross to send troops to participate in the war, as long as he makes a statement and sends the hostages over, we can't do anything to him for the time being! ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

……

The ministers dispersed, and Arad stood in an attic of the royal palace, looking at the sunset, and couldn't help but be excited! After years of careful preparation, he finally took the step of unifying Aracia, and the contrast with Catherine's strength was long and long. He firmly believes that the preemptive strategy will be able to deal a devastating blow to Catherine, further shrinking Catherine's control and slowly eating away.

Arad looked at the mountains in the distance, a smile on his face, and the peaceful sky before the night seemed to know that below it, the largest city of Erathia, had been lit with a huge cannon*, and the beacon fire of Alasia would begin to burn in full swing!
