Chapter 483: Border Warfare

Through his tough military response, Dane made his attitude very clear to the outside world: If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end!

The implication is obvious, he will never compromise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Florentines and Pudri who have made such a big move are now a bit of a tiger riding a tiger. On the one hand, they really led the coalition to attack Sindelare, and they didn't have the confidence to do so.

On the border between the two countries, the desert and no man's land two or three hundred kilometers away is already a very difficult difficulty to overcome. Not to mention, in the wasteland, the most important supply point, the wasteland pass, has now been firmly controlled by Dane, and has become an important gateway from Hindlaire to the Western human world.

After two years of Dane's operation, the current wasteland pass is completely different from the one that was in the hands of 'Daddy Imu' in the past.

The entire city of the Wasteland Pass has more than tripled in size in two years. There was a long storage of supplies inside, not only water and food, but also a lot of military equipment.

A very direct manifestation is that the number of city fire cannons in the Wasteland Pass is now more than sixty! This is a huge nightmare for anyone who wants to try and attack the city.

At the same time, the food, ordnance and other supplies in the city are enough to support an army of more than 50,000 people to rely on this place for long-term warfare.

Under Dane's direct commission, Major General Paran, the 'Iron Mask General', was stationed here for two years. Although the border guard team led by him still belongs to the garrison corps sequence and is not a direct entry regiment of the kingdom, this force composed of four wings and 6,000 soldiers can almost be regarded as the strongest team in the garrison corps sequence. Even if it is compared with the five directly subordinate legions, it may be far inferior to the White Wolf Legion and the Komyrya Legion, and slightly inferior to the Fifth Legion, but it should be stronger than the Fourth Legion that has not yet been formed, and it is estimated that it is not comparable to the King's Guard Legion.

Even, Dane had the idea to simply reorganize this border guard team into a legion on the spot.

Now, in addition to Paran's Border Guards, the White Wolf Legion and the King's Guard Legion are stationed in the Wasteland Pass, the Komyrya Legion is on its way, and the Fourth Legion is also preparing to set off.

Such a strong force makes the two Western countries feel very tricky.

Originally, they hoped to unite the forces of the Holy Victorian Kingdom and the new Empire of Holy Prometry through military threats, so that Dane could compromise. Not to mention returning to the way it used to be, but at the very least, the strict quota system of the Hunters' Guild and the Mineral Guild should be changed.

However, they now found that if Dane didn't eat it, they really didn't have much to do to threaten Dane.

What is the difference between their so-called military threats and their non-existence?

……

In the border area, the combined forces of the two kingdoms of Florence and Pudri hesitated for two weeks before finally deciding what to do.

The coalition forces began to advance towards the border areas.

It's just that their attitude still doesn't seem so resolute. The troops stopped and went, grinding and grinding, and the speed was not fast.

And Admiral Pechins, who was ordered to take charge of this western campaign, made a decisive judgment.

So, when the coalition forces entered the desert area, they were attacked by the Hindlaire.

The duel of the army is not enough, but tens of thousands of people spread out, when walking on the wasteland, as long as the formation is not too dense, the width of the mighty ten kilometers, or even dozens of kilometers, must still exist.

First, there were encounters between various scout troops, and in this respect, the coalition forces were clearly no match for the Hindlairees.

The wolf cavalry roaming outside, as well as the desert camel cavalry unit integrated by the border guard, are all arms that can make great use of the geographical conditions on this desert.

The wolf cavalry and camel cavalry, which occupy a favorable position, have made the scout troops of Western humans suffer greatly.

A large number of scouts were killed, resulting in a lack of military reconnaissance and intelligence for the coalition forces, so much so that they had to release the valuable Sky Knights.

The Kingdom of Pudri and the Duchy of Florence also had Sky Cavalry. Moreover, the level of their sky cavalry is not bad, among the coalition forces, these two countries have made up a total of hundreds of griffon cavalry!

This is a team of Sky Cavalry that can be used to slay dragons.

However, these proud Sky Cavalry, in their first liftoff, suffered a great loss in front of Dain's troops.

On the day of the day, the griffin cavalry of a formation of the coalition army flew a distance of more than 20 kilometers and lost contact with the headquarters of the coalition army.

This made the commanders of the coalition forces very panicked. Griffin cavalry, what a valuable class? The disappearance of an entire formation is a big deal!

Moreover, no news has come back.

After two days of silence, the headquarters of the coalition decided that it could not be left at that. They sent another griffon force, consisting of more than forty griffon cavalry, to reconnoiter the perimeter. The main goal is to find a way to find the traces of the missing griffon formation.

A day later, they found out the reason for the fall of the griffon formation, at the cost of fifteen griffon cavalry.

It was the Sky Force of the Schindlaire.

According to the survivors of the coalition's griffin cavalry, they were attacked by a powerful sky army.

The Hindlaire Sky Cavalry, whose main members are also griffin cavalry, are half as many as them, a full sixty!

However, that's not the point. Crucially, the enemy's sky troops, in addition to the griffin cavalry, have a number of other troops.

For example, the Horned Eagle Beast Cavalry, the Lion Scorpion Cavalry.

The Horned Eagle is a huge green bird. This bird of prey is slightly smaller than the griffin's body, and it does not have the strength of the griffon. However, the speed and agility of this Sky Mount are much better than that of the Griffin. When the Horned Eagle Beast is equipped with an elite Elven Ranger on its back, it becomes a class that can fly and has very accurate long-range strike capabilities.

Under the fierce attack of more than forty eagle cavalry, the coalition griffin troops were dealt a heavy blow at the beginning of the battle.

However, this is just the beginning.

Sixty griffon cavalry, and more than forty horned eagle cavalry, already made the coalition's sky forces feel unable to resist. But in the Hindlairees' ranks, there is an even more formidable force in the skies - the Lion Scorpion.

The lion scorpion is a powerful underground creature, and on the surface, few people have seen this beast of prey. They are larger than griffins, with ugly and hideous heads, interlaced teeth, and demon-like barbed horns that grow above their heads.

These huge guys have long and ugly wings on their backs, but don't look at the meat wings, but they fly very quickly.

On their backs, they usually carry a drow cavalry on their backs. However, unlike the griffin cavalry and the horned eagle cavalry, these drow cavalry themselves hardly participate in the battle, and their most important job is to control the beast under their crotch.

The reason for this is also very simple - the lion scorpion's combat power is so strong that it does not need to participate in the battle with the drow on its back. As long as the combat effectiveness of the lion scorpion itself can be brought into full play, it will be the greatest credit.

Perhaps, the agility of the scorpion may be slightly worse than that of the griffin cavalry, but it is not slow at all.

The most terrifying thing is that the scorpion also has a power that both griffons and horned eagles lack—breath.

Poisonous spitting, this is the killer weapon that the scorpions have! The green poison gushed all over the place, and was stuck to the body by this terrifying poisonous gas, maybe the griffin could temporarily rely on its strong body to resist the poisonous erosion, but the cavalry above the griffin did not have such a good ability to resist poison.

What's more, in the process of hand-to-hand combat, in addition to the powerful claws, the scorpions also have a sinister weapon - their long, barbed tail.

This is the main reason why this creature is called the lion 'scorpion'.

This scorpion-like tail is highly poisonous. Moreover, the power of this toxin is much more powerful than that of ordinary scorpion demonic beasts.

If you are pricked by a needle like a barb, whether it is a human or a griffin, it is certain death.

The only consolation is that the number of scorpion cavalry is not large, only ten.

The Sky Cavalry formation of the coalition army, after encountering the attack of the Sindelaretes, was quite clear-headed. The commander of this coalition griffin cavalry formation, as soon as he saw the number and variety of enemies, issued an order to his men to retreat.

I have to admit that this order to retreat came very timely. If it weren't for this order to retreat, I'm afraid that this griffin formation would have been buried in this desert sky.

However, despite this, only about twenty griffon cavalry were able to escape alive back to the headquarters of the coalition army, and a full half of them died under the pursuit of the Sindlaire.

After bringing back such news, the griffin cavalry who were lucky enough to escape could finally go down and rest with confidence. But the commanders of the coalition forces are going to have a big headache about this.

On the same day, the combined forces of Florence and Pudri ceased operations. They began to camp in place, making it look like they were going to stay where they were for a long time.

At the same time, a fierce meeting is being held at the headquarters of the coalition forces.

At the headquarters of the Florence and Pudri coalition forces, inside the central tent, a bald man in a Florentine uniform said: "I suggest we retreat, this war is too blind, and we are not ready to fight the Hindlaire to the death." ”

The name of this bald man is very loud in the Duchy of Florence. He was the Count of Sade, the head of the Duke's Guard, one of the most elite units of the Florentine Commonwealth, and the supreme commander of the army within the Duchy. In this coalition, 30,000 Florenceians came out, and all the military supplies were also from the Duchy of Florence, and the initial garrison of the coalition army was also in the territory of the Duchy. So, as a matter of course, the Supreme Commander of Florence became the Supreme Commander of this coalition army.

It's just that since it's a coalition army, it can't be like the army of a single country. Yes, Count Sade is indeed the Supreme Commander, but he does not have the power to say anything.

In this two armies, there are two other people whose status is not lower than him at all.

One was Count Sneijder of the Kingdom of Purdry, and the other was Admiral Mars of the Kingdom of Holy Victoria.

Snead was a tall old man who also enjoyed great fame within the kingdom of Pudri, and was even a teacher to Prince Eastman. This time, the old man came to the Duchy of Florence with 20,000 men, and his attitude was similar to that of Count Sade.

He said: "Count Sade is right, and we should indeed be a little more cautious. The Hindlaires are stronger than we think, especially their Sky Cavalry...... The Holy Lord is above, and in just two days, we have already lost thirty griffon cavalry! It's hard for me to imagine that if there really was a big fight, all of us griffons would be able to hold out for ten minutes under the onslaught of the enemy. ”

Every word of the two nobles revealed that they did not want to continue the war - at least, they did not want to continue fighting in the current situation.

But the other person has an opinion that completely disagrees.

Admiral Mars said: "Two Earls, I have no intention of offending, but this time, His Majesty the King has sent me to lead a thousand elite Victorian knights to this desert, not for tourism. Before a battle was fought, it just stopped, and even went back in disgrace...... Hehe. ”

The two counts looked at each other, and they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes: 'the Victorian!'

The Holy Victorian Kingdom is not a big country, and its land area may not be as large as that of Pudri. But that doesn't stop them from being a powerful nation, especially militarily.

This country has been on the front line with the orcs for many years. The Eastern Wasteland is a very large concept, and Hindlaire's location is only a small area in the southern part of the Eastern Wasteland. Separated by the central mountain range, to the east and north, there is a very vast land.

It is the true homeland of the orcs, and it is also the place where the great tribe of orcs is concentrated.

And the Holy Kingdom of Victoria is there, where it has been engaged in endless wars with the orcs for many years.

Such wars, even before the collapse of Caesar's Empire, have been fought for many years.

And the famous Victorian Knights are one of the three major knights in the world. There are more than 1,000 Victorian knights, but they are all out-and-out elites, and their average strength is above level seven. Gathering and charging, even the most elite troops of the orcs, the Kukaron warriors, could not stop them.

One can imagine how proud these Victorians were.
