Chapter 486: Dilemma

The combined fleets of Florence and Pudri posed a great threat to Sindelare. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In just two weeks, the maritime lifeline of the Kingdom of Sindelair was completely blocked. The enemy has not yet tried to attack Shawan Harbor or Ghost Knife Harbor, and they are not in a hurry to do so, but the blockade of the shipping route and the blockade of the port alone makes Schindlaire miserable.

A great crisis is coming.

Dane had some food reserves. He knew that one of the fatal weaknesses of his kingdom was the supply of food, and that whenever there was a major war between nations, this weakness would inevitably become the focus of the enemy's attack on Hindlaire.

Of course, he will also make some preparations for this. The big farm plan in Oasis County is one thing, it's a long-term plan; The response to the recent crisis lies in food reserves.

The Sindelare government was very crisis-aware and stored a large amount of food in the country. But, millions of people eat horses to chew, reserves? No amount of reserves is enough! What's more, there is still a war to be fought on the border.

On September 9, the second anniversary of Dane's coronation as king and the founding of Hindlaire, it was spent in a gloomy gloom. Of course, there is no danger of famine for the time being, but the shadow of the blockade of the sea lifeline still hangs over the country.

On the third day after the news of the blockade of the harbor came, the invitation of the Persinsy Army at the Wasteland Pass also came. In the palace of the White Wolf Castle, Dane received a request from the front-line generals for war.

They could also see that the situation had taken a turn for the worse and had become more dangerous. And people of insight know that there are only two ways to break the deadlock.

The most direct way out, of course, is to break through the blockade of the combined fleet's shipping routes. But in the eyes of people, this is almost an unlikely thing. Hindlaire's weak sea power is now crushed on the island of Komya.

As long as the National Navy fleet dares to leave the cover of the shore defense guns in the harbor, then they don't need to break the blockade, and the combined fleet itself will come to the door and completely crush the fragile national naval fleet with a huge warship formation and a large number of alchemy shells.

And the other way out, that is on land. As long as the Persinsian Front could quickly break through the combined forces of Florence and Pudri on the border, and rush into the territory of the Duchy of Florence, and even the hinterland, the war would be over.

The Florentines, who had been stabbed in the stomach with a sharp knife, certainly had no way to continue the war. When the capital of Florence, the City of Purple Lilies, known as the most beautiful city in the Continent of Orodic, is directly threatened by war, does His Royal Highness still have the courage to continue this war at the risk of the capital being breached?

The answer is obvious.

This path, for Hindlaire, seems to be a more reliable way out. There is no way to open up the situation at sea, and if Dane does not want to be forced to throw in the towel, relying on a strong army is the only way out.

This is also the reason why Pehince and the others are in a hurry to ask Dane to fight, and they can also see this.

Sometimes, though, the risks are enormous.

Now, the Pexins group, for the advantage of the Triple Alliance, looks great.

However, in essence, there has not been a direct clique collision between the two sides, and even the main forces of the two armies are still fifty or sixty kilometers apart, and even a small-scale war has not really begun, and the contest between the two sides is only limited to the sky and the level of scout troops.

At this level, Pehin had the upper hand so much that she reduced the Coalition's control to a very small size. The coalition forces were so suppressed that they could not move in the border area.

But don't think that this will be a sure victory, and this army will be no threat. Holding such thoughts is the most dangerous thing.

The 50,000-strong coalition force is even slightly more numerical than the Pehin Silk group that has been assembled now, and the quality of the soldiers and the level of weapons and equipment may not be as strong as the White Wolf Legion and the Komyr Legion, but it will certainly not be inferior to the King's Guards Legion, and it is much stronger than the garrison legion.

After all, these are two countries with a certain historical background, and the elite forces sent by them together are not so easy to deal with.

Not to mention, there are still a thousand Victorian knights in this army!

Don't look at the small number of people, if there is a real fight, this group charge of the thousand Victorian knights gathered together, there are not many armies on the entire continent, can pat their chests and say that they can stop it-even if they have more than ten times the number of people.

If the Three Kingdoms Alliance chooses to continue to advance to the depths of the wasteland and to the wasteland pass, the chances of defeating them will be greatly increased. After all, the deeper you go into the desert, the more advantageous it is for the Schindlaires who are fighting at home.

These Westerners, who come from humid and warm places with mild climates, are not very well adapted to dryness and sandstorms. Obviously, such a climatic environment will affect their combat effectiveness. At the same time, as they go deep into the desert, Pehince will also have more strategic space and more tactical options.

For example, a large-scale mobile outflanking, for example, after luring the enemy into depth, find a way to cut off the supply line......

But it's clear that it's not that simple. Whether they were cowardly or cautious, all in all, the coalition forces were nested twenty kilometers inward from the border, and a complete camp was set up without moving.

Even, they no longer sent a large number of scouts and sky cavalry to try to compete with Pexins's troops for space, but only maintained a certain amount of reconnaissance to ensure that Pexins's army would not bypass under their noses and go around the territory of the Duchy of Florence.

Don't say much, just stick to it.

This choice, from the standpoint of the coalition forces, is obviously quite advantageous and at the same time in line with their overall strategy.

The army does not have the advantage, just hold on, as long as the status quo is maintained and not defeated, then it is fine, time is on their side, the blockade of the sea will gradually tighten the necks of the Schindlaire until they are out of breath, and even directly strangled.

For Schindlaire, there is no certainty of victory in a decisive battle, let alone the fact that people are backed by the support of an entire country under the attitude of stubbornness.

How easy is it to win a quick game?

From this point of view, the kingdom of Hindlaire is a bit of a corner.
