Less than ten days after the Nords landed, Woche, the largest port in the north, fell. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The endless Nord army, after obtaining supplies from Wocheze, began to march towards the capital city of Suggs.
The nightmare of the Karad Empire has just begun, the Nords did not only land on the coast of Wochart, but also a large number of Nords have landed near Fort Cherbek, Tiha, Sagos and other places, and at the same time that the Nords want to launch an attack in these areas, the original Nord settlers in the city have also begun to cooperate with each other, and the defense has become very difficult, and some castles have to start expelling or even slaughtering the Nords who are still in the city.
On the thirteenth day after the landing, the Nords began their first large-scale offensive in the Tiha and Sagos regions after completing their build-up, and the "Northern Campaign" officially began.
According to historical records, the "Northern Campaign" was divided into three phases, the first stage was the attack of the Nords on the outer defensive ring of Tiha and Sagos; The second stage is the fall of Tiha; The third stage was a general assault on Sagos.
There were only five short days between the fall of the Woche and the re-attack of the Nords.
The ministers of the Karad Empire had not yet figured out the situation, and endless war reports and distress letters flew like snowflakes onto the tables of the Sags Palace.
Until this time, the old emperor was still planning to negotiate, and he felt that the Nords were not bad, and there must be some reason that caused the Nords to rebel.
If he is allowed to do this, the Kallad Empire will really be finished!.
At the palace of Suggs, all the military ministers gathered to discuss how to resist the invasion of the Nords.
The first to report was the Imperial Marshal, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The outer castles are overstretched, and the imperial capital of Sargos is already at the front. The cities of ordinary lords are simply unable to stop the Nords like a flood, and I implore you to shrink your forces, abandon all the cities outside the cities of Saggs and Tiha, and withdraw all available peripheral forces to the defense line of Tiha and Sagoth. ”
"Accurate!" Prince Yaistreich had at least some military talent, and was not as hasty as his father.
The marshal continued, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Fort Derberg and Fort Tihlog are our key defensive targets, and with them, the Nords will be overwhelmed, so please send additional troops to ensure the safety of the supply lines. ”
"That's right!"
The Prime Minister also walked out of the ranks, bowed and said, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I propose that a war tax be levied on the Rhodok Mountains at the same time to ensure military supplies. The Rhodoks can fight well, and bows and arrows require money, but the Rhodoks do not need money, which can not only weaken the Rhodok rebellion threat, but also effectively resist the Nord's attack. Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear. ”
Prince Yaistreich nodded approvingly, "The Prime Minister is worthy of being a pillar of the country!" That's a good idea! ”
"The Nord army is too strong, if it can't be defended, it may be in serious trouble, Wechen suggests that the elite troops of General Mars on the front line of Halma City who are responsible for guarding the Kugit people be transferred back, or some of the troops can be transferred back to participate in the defensive battle or even the counterattack battle of Suggs."
"Now that the country is in danger and officially lives and dies, there is no longer so much to care about, and the army defending the Salander Sultanate in the city of Dukuba will also be partially withdrawn. Thus the cities of Halma and Doukuba were each turned back half. As long as the capital can be kept, even if Halma City and Dukuba City encounter accidents, they will not hesitate! ”
Prince Yaistreich had made up his mind to live and die with Suggs.
At this time, the old king Zacharias walked into the room with his guards. He looked around at the people in the room and said coldly. "I'm not dead, I'm still the king of Calad! Discussing military-level affairs, what are your intentions in expelling me like this! Are you going to rebel? ”
The minister in the room was silent.
Prince Yaistreich's face was not afraid, but there seemed to be a hint of relief. He's been waiting for this day for a long time......
"Father, under your wise leadership, the northern part of the empire has fallen, and the army of the Nords is gathering for the capital Suggs, do we continue to listen to your advice and negotiate with them?"
"Bastard! If you hadn't suppressed the Nords everywhere, would it have caused such a violent rebellion by the Nords? The same is true of the nation of Kugit, the nation of Rhodok, including our vassal Vegia, have you treated them well? If you do it like this, it's no wonder if the world isn't chaotic, and it's strange if the people don't rebel! You only know how to collect wealth, but you don't know how to give back to the people, making people angry, you are all sinners of the Karad Empire! King Zacharias was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Prince Yaistreich's gaze was cold, as if he were looking at a stranger.
"Father, the king is defeated, the people are rebelling under your rule, and what I am doing is to put down the rebellion! The history of the future will call me the Holy Lord, the Wise Monarch. And you will only be a sinner who corrupts the country! Someone! Prince Yaistreich snapped his fingers, and the guards behind the old king actually set the old king up.
"My father is old and confused, and he is no longer fit for the position of king. He's old, so he's going to take care of himself. After all, the world of the future is a matter for young people, and I declare that from today onwards, I am the new Emperor of the Karad Empire, and I will lead you to get rid of the threat of the Nord untouchables, forcibly suppress the rebellion by force, and celebrate my enthronement with their blood! ”
A group of military ministers knelt down one after another, "Greetings to Your Majesty." ”
The old king Zacharias watched blankly as the ministers who had followed him all his life bowed down to the rebel who had imprisoned him.
He laughed, laughing like a madman! "The Kallad Empire is over, it's really over! Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. Repression is inexhaustible, where there is oppression, there is resistance! Why don't you understand! ”
Yaistreici smiled and shook his head, "Politics requires sacrifice, and you have to learn to command others to sacrifice for you." My foolish father, don't you know my temper? If I didn't like the way the table was arranged, I flipped it.
If I don't like a man's words, kill him. Are few dead at my hands? Have you ever stopped it? Now pretend to be merciful! Let me tell you, for us who climb to the top of the food, we must not be merciful. There is only one rule in our world, the law of the jungle. ”
Yaistreich waved his hand, "Send my father back to the palace to recuperate, we will continue to discuss matters!" ”
The royal guards drove the old king Zacharias out of the room, "Rebel! You'll regret it! Unfilial son! You don't have to die well! I'm ashamed of Li Zu Liezong......"
The voice grew weaker and weaker until it was completely inaudible.
The new Emperor Yaistreici closed the door, smiled and looked around at the crowd, saying, "Let's move on!" ”
