Chapter 169: Kingdom and War
The time and place were favorable, and they were all on the enemy's side, and they could only rise for one night, so the attack of the monster army against the two city-level fortresses ended in failure.
Therefore, Green decisively adopted a preparatory plan: attack the heart tactics!
If there were no people, no matter how strong the walls were, they would be meaningless.
Although the attack on the two fortresses failed, Green took the opportunity to eat a few township-level hard bones, and completely brought the three provinces in the north of the kingdom under his control. But after that, Green had to face the kingdom's counterattack.
The first is Eagle's Nest, and when Angusari's floating city arrives, Green happily chooses to follow his heart. After recruiting a few Storm Hawks to serve as eyeliners and scouts, Green happily returned the Eagle's Nest, which had been completely razed to the ground, to the Kingdom Army.
Faced with the ruined Eagle's Nest City, the "former" Eagle's Nest Lord, Viscount Eoriel, hated it. After constructing a minimum of fortifications in Eagle's Nest, the Imperial Council began to reclaim and seal off several of the more dangerous monster nests in the Northlands, and to build fortresses and garrison troops on them.
The kingdom's ministers, who were busy recovering lost territory, did not notice that Angusari's forces were becoming dwindling, or even if they did, they did not care. After all, there are not many monsters with the ability to fly, but Angsari has a large number of militias, plus Queen Rhea with gold-level strength and the chief general of the kingdom Folsky, even if they encounter a flying dragon attack, they are not afraid at all!
For a month, Angosari was busy like a busy worker bee, rebuilding the destroyed castle. Everything seems to be going in a good direction, although there are still many monster nests that have not been recovered, but the rest are some monsters that have no siege ability, even if they are left alone.
Time flies, and when the kingdom army regains lost territory one by one, it is the night of magic again......
Angsari stopped above the ironclad rhino's lair. Below, the ironclad monitor lizard, which had not yet been sealed, screamed at the sky, but the ironclad giant rhinoceros that did not have the ability to fly could only make a few calls on the ground, and could do nothing else.
During the royal meeting, Queen Rhea and several important ministers of the kingdom did not rest, but sat in the conference room, waiting for news.
"It doesn't feel right." The former prime minister put down the black tea in his hand and glanced at the direction of the gate, "It's already this point in time, why haven't those rabbits come yet?" ”
"Maybe they're not going to attack Angosari." Queen Rhea stared at the map on the table, "They lured us into dividing our forces to disperse our forces, perhaps they were targeting the few monster nests we had just recovered. ”
"It's also possible that Miracle Canyon is their main direction of attack." The former prime minister looked at a chess piece at the top of the map, "This battle is really too bad for us. ”
"With the strength of those beasts, you can't break through the walls." Queen Rhea's tone sounded a little unconfident.
"But our enemies are not just wild beasts. No one knows what hole cards those rabbit-like creatures have. The former prime minister sighed, "This war is too rushed, and we lack understanding of the enemy. No matter what the outcome of tonight is, we have already lost this war. ”
Queen Rhea was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up: "I'll go out and blow the wind." ”
Seeing the queen leave, the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the end of the conference table suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty seems to be a little shaken. ”
The former prime minister sighed: "After all...... Who could have imagined that those rabbits would be able to inflict such heavy losses on the kingdom before the outbreak of war? ”
Chancellor of the Exchequer: "Will Your Majesty agree to give up the three northern provinces?" ”
The former Prime Minister smiled bitterly: "The current Your Majesty and Lord Fursky will not agree, and only when the matter is completely irreparable will they give up." ”
The Chancellor of the Exchequer raised his eyebrows: "It seems that we can only pray that the defensive battles in various places will be won in a big way tonight." ”
"Yes."
There are a total of seven provinces in the Kingdom of Northbod, each of which consists of 1~3 cities and several villages and towns. Among them, the four southern provinces were recovered a long time ago, and after years of development, all the monster nests in the territory have been sealed; The three northern provinces were recovered during the previous king's tenure, and the development time was relatively short, so they were relatively barren, the population was relatively small, and the territory was full of unsealed monster nests.
With mixed feelings, the ministers sat in the conference room until dawn.
When the red moon retreated, Queen Rhea stood on the balcony of the palace, looked at the rising sun that appeared in the sky, clenched her fists tightly, and turned back to the conference room.
"Have you reported the situation at each camp?" Queen Rhea asked the minister in good spirits.
The former prime minister rubbed his eyes and glanced at the several mirrors placed on the table with a tired face: "Not yet." However, no news at this time is the best news, and it is estimated that the various camps will soon report the information. ”
At that moment, a mirror on the table suddenly lit up.
"It's coming!" The Imperial Prime Minister stood up excitedly.
Queen Rhea walked straight to the conference table and picked up the mirror on the table. In the mirror, a dwarven heavy infantry in full body armor can be seen standing on the opposite side in high spirits.
"General Hamill, you seem to be in good spirits."
"Eagle's Nest City doesn't see any enemies worth fighting." The dwarven general smashed his mouth, "Only a few wolves and rabbits were outside last night to gouge the walls!" ”
"This is good news. It's great that everybody is okay. Queen Rhea had a faint smile on her face.
Just then, another mirror lit up on the table.
Queen Rhea picked up another mirror, looked at the knight in the mirror, and raised her eyebrows: "Sir Tara, you don't look very good. ”
"The Wyverns visited Levorst last night, and they threw the vipers and kobolds onto the Floating City, and they also used poison gas. Thankfully, we managed to hold it in the end, and Miracle Canyon was still in our hands. ”
"Good."
As the communication mirrors lit up, the Imperial Council received information about the knights stationed in the various fortresses, and learned that all the fortresses were in the hands of the knights of the kingdom.
"Something isn't right." The former Prime Minister frowned, "Not to mention the battle of Miracle Canyon, isn't the battle in the rest of the region too easy?" ”
A smile appeared on Queen Rhea's face, "Lord Berry, you are too worried. Some of the most dangerous monster nests in the three northern provinces are in our hands, and the fallen elves can't leave the nests in winter, and the enemy is left with only a few trash fish. ”
"Hmm...... That being said, I still think it's so abnormal. The former Prime Minister frowned deeply, "Those Mona have wisdom...... Wait a minute! What about Izeta's connection to the Redstone Fortress? ”
"Yuna Sue Izeta, that woman has contacted me directly through spiritual contact, Izeta is all right, and the strength of the monsters that besieged the city last night has returned to normal. As for the Redstone Fortress...... "Queen Rhea thought for a moment, "Baron Heinrich holds the Noble Blade, and it is impossible to defeat a creature weaker than himself. I don't think those rabbits have the ability to kill Baron Heinrich alone. ”
"Noble Phantasm Immortal Blade...... Able to absorb the life force of the enemy and replenish their own injuries and stamina, the extraordinary powerhouse who wields the "Immortal Blade" is indeed the most terrifying war machine on the battlefield. The former prime minister hesitated for a moment, "It stands to reason that those monsters are indeed no match for Baron Heinrich, but just in case, let's ask." ”
"Okay."
The former Prime Minister looked at the mirror on the table, picked up a communication magic mirror, and injected magic power into the magic mirror.
There was a glow on the mirror, but there was nothing but a patch of snow.
Looking at the snow-white magic mirror of communication, the ministers present frowned.
"There is no information, which means that Baron Heinrich's magic mirror is damaged." The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, "Hopefully it was just an accident." ”
