Chapter 137: Cheap Tears
At the beginning of October, a moist air stream from the southern ocean finally crossed the high mountain range across central Ionia, and the northern region ushered in persistent rainy weather. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For several days, clouds were gathering over Presidium, and the mood of Holy Keisha became even worse.
At this time, several major events that took place in the main continent of Valoran in September spread to Ionia.
On 20 September, the Coalition Army's formation ceremony and military parade held at the War College came to a successful conclusion. The 100,000-strong armies of Demacia and Noxus, who had arrived in the name of participating in the celebration, retreated to the east and west, but had no intention of leaving.
The War College is surrounded by fertile fields, all the way to the central hinterland of Noxus.
The Federation's move was intended to deter the Empire's war ambitions and show solidarity with Ionia. The Empire, on the other hand, is to defend the western gateway in case of the unexpected. -for-tat, neither side has the possibility of backing down.
However, only on the second day, the Empire's 100,000-strong army suddenly maneuvered north, reaching the edge of the Roaring Swamp and turning due west. Not only did they leave the academy, but they also kept moving away from the borders of the empire.
Two days later, the army appeared in the lower reaches of the Serpentine River and was stationed in its place. The distance between this imperial army and the royal city of Demacia was only five hundred miles in a straight line, and Noxus seemed to be about to turn to deter Demacia.
However, there is no fluctuation in the hearts of Debang people, and they even want to laugh a little.
Stupid, the Imperials are simply stupid.
Not to mention the fact that there is still a bubble swamp between the Imperial army and the Shield King, and due to the tense situation in Ionia, almost all the elite of the German army are gathered near the royal city.
Therefore, the Federation does not have to worry about the safety of the royal city at all, on the contrary, there is a golden opportunity in front of it.
With the withdrawal of the Empire's 100,000 troops, the west gate of Noxus was wide open. The Federation army near the War College can drive straight into the central hinterland of the empire and reach the imperial capital.
It is certainly a bit risky to go it alone, but if you take the imperial capital, you will have the allies of Picheng to the north and Ionia to the east. At the same time, the main force of the Federation Army in the direction of Shield City can immediately advance eastward to attack the Imperial Army in the Serpentine River area, preventing it from returning to the mainland.
At that time, the situation will turn into the loss of the hinterland of Noxus, and the enemy will be attacked on three sides, and the country will be in danger of being destroyed.
God-given opportunity, I'm afraid even a fool will be tempted.
However, after two days of hesitation, on the 24th, the Federal Military Department urgently recruited a large army to return home.
On the same day, the Federal Parliament passed an environmental bill. In view of the fact that the royal city has been repeatedly attacked by sandstorms from the northland since the beginning of autumn in August, the Federation will take the initiative to help Freljord control the desertification of the land on the northern border.
As a result, the 100,000-strong army on the way back to China rushed north, and soon entered the territory of the frosty tundra, which was located across the river from the imperial army.
The Germans, who not so long ago were clamoring for a war in Noxus, have suddenly become staunch environmentalists. The direction of public opinion in the country also changed immediately, and war mobilization became a variety of environmental protection slogans.
"Building a beautiful home starts with every grass and tree."
"The predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade. A century-old plan to enrich the country and secure the country. ”
Distant Ionia soon faded into obscurity, but when the news of the war was read in the newspapers every morning, the kind-hearted Commoners would still cry tears of sympathy for the Ionian people. Then quickly wrap the breakfast you just bought in newspaper so that the dust does not get mixed in with it.
War in the newspapers is never bloody, and if cheap tears can already express sympathy, why pay heavy sacrifices for someone else's war.
Instead of dealing with the mighty Noxus, we Federation people should deal with this damn wind and sand weather first.
……
Holy Keisha threw away the newspaper in disgust, and everything that came from Debang made him feel disgusted.
"Hmph, the predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade. If Ionia is really dead, your Federation will wait for the Imperial army to attack the Shield King next year. ”
Demacia was no longer reliable, and the Empire used a risky temptation to expose the true face of the powerful and powerful people outside the Federation.
Noxus's war ambitions will be infinitely infinite, and sooner or later Demacia will have to pay for his actions, but now it is Ionia who is the first to be unlucky.
On 3 October, fighting was rekindled in the recovered southern region.
Reinforcements from Noxus continued to land in Holy Harbor, with the elite remaining on the Presidium line, and the remaining Imperial second-line troops began to move south.
Under Kalmar's leadership, a large number of armies had been formed in the southern regions. However, due to insufficient training, many units were still at the level of civilian armed forces in their initial combat effectiveness, and were left behind to maintain law and order and carry out post-war reconstruction.
The number of troops expanded with the former rebel organization as the backbone has grown to 50,000, and the quality of equipment and personnel has been guaranteed, and it has become a regular military force.
With the permission of the Temple, a temporary administrative body, the Federation, was established in the South, and the rebels were officially renamed the Southern Alliance.
The current strength of the Southern Coalition could not pose a real threat to the heavily armed regions of Naville, Garrin, and Songzan, and in mid-September, Kalmar began to lead the main forces of the coalition army in the direction of Presidium.
The Imperial Army in Presidium is a nail in the middle of Ionia that must be pulled out for both the immediate danger of the capital and the strategic situation in the future.
On 5 October, the first battle began when the Ionian Southern Coalition and the Noxian native reinforcements met southeast of Presidium.
The five main armies of the most elite coalition army, 50,000 horses. Three second-line legions of the Imperial Army, 30,000 horses.
In any way, it seems that the outcome of this battle will not be too far off.
As soon as the news of the battle came, Divine Keisha instructed the temple personnel to prepare for the war. The Northern Army, which had been assembled near the capital, would be ready to go out of the city at any time to fight and flank the main forces of the Imperial Army on the line of Presidium with the Southern Army.
A day passed, two days passed. There was no more news from the south, and no news was the worst news.
Keisha was puzzled, with the excellent military command ability shown by Karma when leading the rebel army, she personally led the elite of the 50,000 Southern Army to defeat the mere 30,000 Imperial Miscellaneous Army.
No, it can't be.
So since Karma's abilities need not be doubted, her loyalty can only be doubted.
Religious convictions in the south had been inadequate, and now a provisional administration had been formed during the war.
To put it bluntly, the Federation is a very independent provisional government. She was the first duchess to be crowned by the king at the behest of the temple, and naturally became the political leader of the southern region. At the same time, Karma is also the commander of the Southern Army, combining military and political power, and she is the uncrowned king of the South.
Once the Imperial Army of Presidium is cleared and Ionia is connected to the north and south, the entire country will return to the reign of the king.
At that time, even the king was just a puppet cultivated by the temple, and she was nothing as a duke of Karma.
Rights, it turns out that they are all because of rights.
The more Divine Kaisha thought about it, the more terrified she became, and after Soraka, Karma became the second person she feared.
No, it's actually the third.
Because, there is also a forest wind.
