() When the battle between the Entagre army and the Erathia army on the side of Arissanret was in full swing, and the jīng spirits in the hinterland of the Erathia Empire were burning and killing with the blade of the last rì, on the other side, the army of Enroth commanded by Roland finally killed the royal city of the Mage Kingdom of Bracada, the city of Celeste, known as the city of the sky.

In the southwest of the continent of Erathia, in the middle of the snowy mountains, under the city of Celeste, the camp of the Enlos army, and the tent of the Chinese army.

Roland sat alone in the tent, quietly looking at a document, his face was as heavy as the sun outside the tent, and the sky was always cloudy and snowy.

Roland has no doubt that he is a beautiful man, although he has been imprisoned and tortured by the Kerrigan for many years, making him look much older than his actual age, but this old age makes him look more mature and has a little more vicissitudes of temperament, which does not affect his demeanor at all.

He is still the Emperor Enros who is the same as the Emperor of Enros, and after the return of the king, he is determined to forge ahead and carry out reforms, and he has waved his army on the continent of Erathia, trying to surpass his father and expand the territory of the Enroth Empire again. .

At least on the surface, it is like this, in front of people, he is always so confident and composed, he makes everyone can't help but think that he has an absolute certainty of victory in the battle in front of him.

Only those who are most familiar with him can see the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart from the depths of his eyes.

It was only when he was alone like this now that he would put away his usual confident smile on his face. At this time, because of the document in his hand, his face was blue, and his eyes were almost about to erupt with fire.

It was a document from Enroth n's homeland, the content was not long, but the meaning of the complaint in it was obvious, and such a document was obviously not the first time that Roland had received it, and all this only meant that there were already people in the Enroth Empire who were dissatisfied with this long-lasting but delayed military operation that had not been able to achieve a breakthrough.

This is also a matter of course, before and after. The Enroth Empire has invested more than a million troops on the continent of Erathia. Several battlefields have been opened up one after another, and in order to ensure the logistical supply of this million-strong army, more manpower, material and financial resources have been invested, not to mention anything else. A magical portal that was opened solely for the purpose of transporting supplies. It's a lot of money. You know, the scroll of this magic portal is easy to use, but it is not easy to make at all.

This is some time. In order to save the magic scroll, the Enloth army is no longer like at the beginning, where the army hits, the portal will be opened, but set up several fixed large teleportation points, and then send materials and soldiers to various battlefields from these teleportation points, but in this way, the manpower required has obviously increased a lot, and at the same time, it has also increased the loss of certain materials, such as food in the process of transportation, and in order to ensure the safety of the transportation route, it has to invest more troops to escort along the way.

In addition to this incident, the Enlos Empire's material and soldier assistance to the Erathia Empire is now also criticized by everyone in the Enlos Empire, for no other reason, the Erathia Empire is too big, and it is too declining, which makes the Erathia Empire now like a bottomless pit of dissatisfaction. In particular, the flying arms have never been broken.

Rao is Enlos Emperor's great cause of the country, and the Enlos people are also heartbroken to the point that they can't do it, after all, their materials are not conjured out of thin air, and after the end of the inheritance war, the Enlos Continent is also a zero, and it is not easy to recuperate and save a family belonging.

As for the flying troops, they are not enough for themselves, how can they be seconded to others, and now it is not only the Elasia Empire that is fighting, but the Enlos army is also in dire straits! In order to change the current stalemate in various battlefields, the application for additional troops is called a diligence.

What makes the Enlos people even more dissatisfied is that the losses of the Enlos army have been even greater than the Erathian army in this war!

The most obvious example is the Battle of Wetland City, because the Jīng spirits suddenly used the blade of the end that should not have appeared in their hands, the Enlos army lost hundreds of thousands of troops in this dense forest, and many of the Jīng Rui troops who had followed Roland and experienced the War for the Throne were wiped out, and even the senior generals who led the army this time also lost a lot, including some famous generals, but these were all the Enlos army Jīng Rui who fought with Roland in the south and the north.

All this, of course, made Enros greatly annoyed, and many unknown Enros people thought that the Erathia Empire, which had taken their promises, had no intentions at all, and had been responding to the story, in their opinion, the Erathia Empire was the number one power of the Erathia Empire after all, and no matter how it declined, it should not be as bad as it is now.

Roland understands the difficulties of the Erathian Empire, but once the prejudice is formed, even he can't immediately change the concept of the Enlos people, not to mention, his current mind is not on this, and now Roland is more worried that the reason why this situation occurs in Enlos is that some people deliberately caused such a momentum.

Although Roland has not been in power for many years, his political sense has not deteriorated at all, and he knows what this situation means.

Careerists will never be lacking at any time and in any place, the great Enroth Empire, with such a large population base, of course there will not be only one or two ambitious guys, Roland was extremely strong before, these guys have no conditions, of course, one by one they are keeping to themselves, and only dare to secretly do some small actions.

But now it's different, Roland has been missing for so many years, and rumors that he died in battle with the Kregans have never stopped, and before he returned, there were not a few Enrothians who believed that he had died on the battlefield, and Queen Catherine also returned to the continent of Erathia shortly after his disappearance. And never returned, leaving only one regent who was driven to the shelves to assist the crown prince Nicholas, this Humphrey regent is definitely a good hand at marching and fighting, but when it comes to presiding over political affairs, it will not take long to make the empire fly, and some local important ministers even began to listen to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, which is quite a bit of a secession of one side to support the army and stand on its own.

During this period, Humphrey even almost lost Crown Prince Nikolai, who was a playful and active young crown prince who sneaked out of Tekken Castle alone in order to watch the circus performance, and traveled around, if he had not been discovered and kindly escorted back to Tekken Castle, he might have been exiled to the people or even buried in the wilderness.

In this case. If only these people could still be as comfortable as they used to be. That's a strange thing, in fact, if it weren't for the timely return of Roland, if it weren't for the Iron Fist Dynasty being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If it weren't for the regent, Humphrey still had a strong army at his disposal, and he was loyal to him. If it weren't for the growing up Nikolai, he began to have a bit of a fatherly style, which made people hopeful. The Enroth Empire is afraid that turmoil is about to begin.

These things, with Roland's sophistication, were clear not long after returning to China. Of course, he also understands that the disappearance of his son was not as simple as it seemed, and those people fooled Humphrey and Nikolai, how could they deceive his eyes, just imagine, if no one secretly planned, no matter how careless Humphrey was, with Nikolai's age and skills, it was impossible to sneak out of the heavily guarded Iron Fist Fort, and when that kind of sensitivity, if even the only crown prince who could inherit the throne was gone, What will happen to the Enroth Empire without a leader, Roland doesn't need to use his brain, as long as he moves his toes, he can think about it, this matter is a big conspiracy from beginning to end, if it weren't for the peaks and turns, Nikolai was suddenly sent back, and Humphrey, who learned his lesson, never dared to be careless about Nikolai's guards from now on, and now it is really uncertain what the situation will be in the Enroth Empire, and Roland will not be able to reclean the old rivers and mountains smoothly with his great prestige as soon as he returns.

Roland is not a good man and a woman, someone so calculates his beloved son, and seeks to rob him of the country he has worked so hard for, of course he will not give up, and strictly speaking, these people he has endured for not so much for a day or two, when he was in power before, these people have been secretly against him, always suppressed Catherine, and did not let this jīng Ming capable queen assist him in handling political affairs, under the new hatred and old hatred, Roland has already moved to kill.

But Roland didn't dare to do it, after all, this time is not the same as before, Roland has been away for so long, Humphrey can't completely suppress it, these guys' power is expanding rapidly, there are people with power and money, and now it has become a climate, it is not easy to eradicate them, if they can't be uprooted with the power of thunder, I'm afraid that the Enroth Empire will soon fall into a civil war.

If it weren't for this, Roland would not have made up his mind so easily to use troops against the continent of Erathia regardless of Catherine's feelings, he wanted to use this to divert the contradictions and conflicts in the country, and secretly kill people with knives to weaken the strength of these hidden opponents on the battlefield.

But this is not the purpose of his army, which is a clever trick he can count in one fell swoop.

First of all, through this dispatch, he will once again establish great prestige in Enroth, further consolidate his dominance, and offset many of the suffocation caused by his absence from reign for many years, the martial Enroth people certainly hope that his Emperor His Majesty can lead them to expand the territory, and this is also Roland's own long-term ambition, all along, his goal has been to become an emperor beyond his father.

Secondly, through this dispatch of troops, he passed on many contradictions and conflicts in the country, further paved the way for his own political reform, and bought time, and used extraordinary means in extraordinary times, and some reforms that were difficult to implement in peacetime could be carried out in the name of war.

Third, through this dispatch, he can send those guys with a heart of disobedience to the battlefield as much as possible in the name of war, on the one hand, to weaken the forces in the hands of these guys by the hands of the enemy, and on the other hand, he can also have the opportunity to secretly and directly eradicate the thorny characters in these guys.

Fourth. This time he drove the expedition in person, and also had the purpose of luring the snake out of the hole, so many years, he didn't know how many people those ambitious guys had recruited for their use, he didn't want to fight the snake without dying with the stick, he believed that these guys should also understand that they were suspicious, if he led the army outside, these guys would definitely take action in order to protect themselves, and then these guys would naturally expose the strength of their control, and he could wipe them all out.

Fifth. Through this dispatch of troops. After occupying a large area of land on the Erathia continent, it can also greatly reduce the development space of the Entagri Empire, directly suppress this emerging power, and prevent it from further expanding. In the long run. This is a very wise strategic decision. Roland did not underestimate this sudden rise of the new empire, he could realize the potential threat that the potential of the Entagri Empire would pose to the Enloth Empire, and strangle such a formidable future adversary in the cradle. is the smartest thing to do.

Of course, it would be better if he could successfully capture the kingdom of Bracada, obtain the secret of the immortal king's immortal body, and take over the amazing magic technology possessed by this mage kingdom, but this was not Roland's main goal at the beginning, but it was an unexpected surprise, but this incident obviously gave Roland's royal envoy a clear excuse, making everything he arranged more obvious, and thus rallying people's hearts again, those courtiers who were already loyal to him, Now it was obvious that he was becoming more and more desperate for him because of the immortality he might obtain, and at the same time, it also made the ambitious fellows more and more frightened and even wavering, which made Roland more and more comfortable with them.

The so-called icing on the cake is nothing more than this.

Roland is Roland after all, even after so many years in the cage of the Kerrigans, he is still turning his hands into clouds and raining when he comes back to the rivers and lakes.

But all this must be built on the basis of a perfect military victory.

And now, the situation is slowly getting out of control, and Roland has no choice but to find that he has fallen into a difficult situation.

And the fundamental reason for this result is that there has been no result of this war for a long time.

Whether it was for Roland, or for every member of the Enroth army under the command of Roland, this was a difficult battle that far exceeded their expectations, and Roland's failure to fulfill his promise to Catherine and failed to send the reinforcements Catherine expected in time was not without reason, and the Enroth army was fighting a little the continent of Erathia.

Aside from the rest of the battlefields, it's just that on the battlefield of Bracada under the personal command of Roland, the army of Enlos fought bumping and bumping.

Although it has the level of Estchel's internal response, although it was a surprise to beat the Bracada army, although the Bracada Kingdom is now no longer glorious and is about to perish, but it has inherited the mantle of the Brakkat Empire in ancient times, has been established for more than a thousand years, has a deep heritage, and has many unknown magic technologies, this magician country is not a weak person who can be ravaged at will, even if this ancient kingdom, like the Erathia Empire at this time, has reached the last moment of storm.

At the time of life and death, the immortal king Magnus is finally mad, although the king of magicians said that his strategic vision is a little worse, and his subordinates have a bad trend of betraying their relatives, but after all, he has also tried his best to operate in this land for more than a thousand years, and there is also a group of subordinates who are desperate for him, and it is impossible for him to be restrained.

What's more, Magnus's original money-burning tactics are indeed amazing.

After the initial long drive, when the Bracada army began to actively shrink the front and carry out a planned and organized defensive counterattack, the army of Enros, who were originally entangled and high-spirited, invincible, and overwhelming, thinking that they could wipe out the Bracada Kingdom in one fell swoop, began a terrible nightmare journey.

The overwhelming army of gargoyles, the torrent of iron men all over the mountains, the ubiquitous magic traps, and the endless magic props, in the surrounding area of Celeste City, the Bracada army used their way to educate the Enros people, what is called magic war in the traditional sense.

Every soldier of the Enroth Army who can survive to kill the city of Celeste has seen an ocean of magical creatures that is many times more than ordinary people can see in a lifetime, and they are more fortunate to have experienced almost all the unknown and unknown magic in this world, and the power is large or small, and the baptism of all kinds of dazzling and dizzying magic, if any of them can be lucky enough to return to the Enlos continent alive, this terrible experience, It is definitely a valuable asset for them to brag to their relatives and friends after dinner, because not every ordinary soldier can see such a gorgeous scene in his lifetime, and you must know that in recorded history, such a large-scale magic war is also extremely rare.

It can be said that since the Bracada army took the initiative to shrink the defensive line, the Enlos army simply filled the road to Celeste City with human lives, and the Enlos army suffered heavy casualties and huge losses, so that Roland, who did not hesitate to put down political affairs and personally came to command, thinking that he had already been mentally prepared for the tragedy of this battle, vomited blood.

And all this is still the result of the Enloth army preparing a lot of anti-demon and anti-demon measures, and stealing some of the Entagri army's air supremacy tactics, if it weren't for these preparations, the casualties of the Enlos army would have been several times more.

These dead and wounded were all the jīng rui of the jīng rui that Roland drew from the army of Enlos in order to attack Bracada!

In this case, how can it not make Roland, who was originally holding the wisdom bead, grit his teeth and be worried?

Roland has no doubt about the final victory of Enroth's army, but if this victory is only a disastrous victory, and if he fails to achieve the expected goal after the victory, and fails to figure out the secret of the immortal body, then this battle will become meaningless, but it will have the opposite effect, so that the strength of Enroth's army will be greatly damaged, affecting the entire layout of Roland's attack on the continent of Erathia, resulting in failure.

If such a situation really occurs, Roland will not say that he will establish his prestige and consolidate his rule, but I am afraid that his prestige will be greatly affected by then, and the political situation in Enlos will be unstable, and he will have to take more effort to suppress those half-hearted guys.

Such a result is something that Roland cannot afford.

But this war has been fought so far, and he has no other choice.

There was no turning back from the bow, and this battle was already unstoppable for him. (To be continued......)
