"I'm afraid, the dark mage has given us too many illusions, and we all arrogantly underestimate the strength of the people of San Jose. Listening to General Hans explain to himself the battle in San Jose, Edward VI had to sigh.

The situation in San Jose deviated from the Desik's vision from the beginning. Edward's original plan was based on the "Sicilian Plan" and the "Momiji Town Plan" going hand in hand. The Sicilian Project was the result of a collaboration between Edward VI and the Dark Rising, who decided to develop the "Sicilian Plan" after the Dark Rising provided information about the long-sea deep-sea charts and the fire oil collection sites in the San Jose Patong area. The plan was originally to build a landing site and temporary dock in Patong with 30,000 men, which would take at least three years to wait for the war to become clear in the north.

As for the Red Leaf Town plan, it was completely Edward who underestimated the abilities of the San Jose people. Desik's all-out attack on the Shang Alliance more or less aroused some vigilance among the Desik people, so after Hongye Town crossed the river, the nearby northern border guards and garrisons would surround it at the first time. You know, after all, the Desik people are landing operations, and the first batch of troops to go ashore is not particularly large, and the San Jose people reacted in time, so that they had to stop after capturing several small towns near Momiji Town.

The San Josens were more powerful than the Desiks expected, which was actually a point that Edward VI was negligent. Since the beginning of the Shang Alliance's war, the Desiks have been fighting all over the continent, and there is actually an element of dark mages helping them. The main force of the Dark Rise began to help the southern cluster fight in the southern region, and the sneak attack in the northern Red Leaf Town was completely completed by the Desik themselves.

After the stalemate in Momiji Town, the Desiks began to become a bit difficult to ride. Edward VI was not a man who was willing to wait and give up. Therefore, he had to hand over the new batch of troops that had just been recruited from all over the country to General Hans, and replicate a landing in the town of Momiji a little lower down the Morro River.

The Kursk province was the second landing site chosen by Edward VI. In fact, when Edward started planning when he was young, Red Leaf Town and Kursk Province were the top two choices in his plan. Now that the army in Red Leaf Town is blocked, Kursk becomes his only lifeline.

However, a plan is a plan, and sometimes one link goes wrong, and the so-called supplementary measures are just drinking water to quench thirst and drop in the bucket. Edward VI could scavenge another 150,000 troops from the country to launch an identical attack, but he could not muster another 150,000 men of food, weapons, armor, and supplies. This last assault depleted almost all of Desik's domestic reserves and the war dividends captured from the Merchant Alliance. You know, just a few years ago, the Desiks had to blackmail the merchant allies to amass enough supplies to attack.

The fighting in the province of Kursk also did not go well, which was again caused by the contempt for the army of San José. In the Battle of Kursk, the Desiks used Steppenwolf Cavalry, Rangers, and Heavy Infantry Regiments, and almost all of the last elite troops in the Desic country were put into battle, but they still failed to break through the San Jose defenses, but lost most of the combat strength of the 1st Cavalry Division after the Guards cavalry launched a surprise attack. The Kimmich battalion general, who had escaped, was beheaded by the enraged General Hans.

Since then, the situation in the province of Kursk has become a confrontation between the two sides, and the battle line has basically remained at a depth of no more than 50 miles and a width of less than 200 miles, and no one can help the other. San Jose, which had lost a large area of fertile land in the plains of Kursk, struggled to support it, but the Desik army, which had hundreds of thousands of troops staying in San Jose, suffered even more. Not to mention, in order to maintain the southern base, a large number of transport ships have to transport countless supplies from Xin Port to the San Jose Patong area at the southernmost point of the Long Sea every month.

Therefore, Edward VI could not sit still in White Rock City. For the generals on the front, the disadvantage of fighting for a while was nothing more than maintaining this line of defense and occupying this black land. For Edward VI, every month that dragged on in the war meant that an extra piece of meat was dug out of his empire to feed the armies. It's like a bottomless pit, and the entire Desik country is about to be unable to support it.

To add insult to injury, the territory of the Shang Alliance has not been peaceful recently, according to General Florian's report, countless underground resistance groups have sprung up in the territory of the original countries of the Shang League, and the dispatch army has been living comfortably these days. The energy of the dispatched army was all involved in the underground resistance group, and the raid on the merchant alliance had to slow down.

They can be slow, Edward can't wait, the business alliance can't provide support, and the country is oversearching. Therefore, Edward VI had no choice but to send himself to the front, although this would have terrified his generals.

After analyzing the progress of the war, Edward and Hans were silent for a while, it was not that they did not work hard, it was really that San Jose was not easy to fight, especially the magicians who helped the rise of darkness the greatest helped tear up the cooperation agreement and leave Desik.

"Your Majesty, do they have any other plans?, I always felt that they left too suddenly, and that they would not get anything at this time without helping Desik win this war. Hans asked.

Edward VI shook his head, "I don't know, there are only two members of Dark Rising who have met me, Master Arthur and Master Elby. I couldn't refuse the partnership plan they initially offered me. It turns out that they can also be of great help to us on the battlefield. That day, in my palace tent in White Rock City, I was originally studying the map, and the map suddenly turned black, and a few lines of golden palace script appeared on the black map. ”

"What's written on it?" asked Hans.

"Darkness Rises, Magic Knows No Bounds!"

"Darkness rises, magic knows no bounds?" repeated Hans, a moment of disbelief, "my majesty?"

Edward smiled wryly, "Don't look at me, I don't know what that sentence means." The next day, I received the news that all the dark mages in White Rock City had left. I realized that this was the message that the Rise of Darkness had sent me. ”

"That agreement ......"

"Of course, the agreement does not exist!" interrupted Hans VI, "but we are now in a difficult position to defeat the San Josens, and De Rec will not be able to hold out unless we defeat the San Josens as quickly as possible." ”

Hans was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he say quietly, "It's only been three years, my majesty. ”

"yes, it's only been three years!"

After the arrival of the Emperor, the atmosphere in the Desik camp became a little delicate, and all the generals returned to their respective camps after the meeting, without any orders for the officers under them. The people brought by the emperor have already settled in the camp, and no one knows what the emperor will arrange next. Until the red sun rises and a new day arrives, the sound of the horn "woo woo woo" sounded in all the Desik barracks, sentry posts, and bases in the Kursk land. Countless horns and horns conveyed Desik's will to the ears and hearts of every Desik soldier.

It was a foggy morning, and the fog was so thick that neither Desik nor San Jose's sentinels could see in the distance. However, the sound of the trumpet is not stopped by the fog. "Ah, did you hear that?" In the San Jose barracks not far away, the patrolling Guards soldiers were talking to each other, and Viscount Slim, with his long sword on his shoulder, hurried out of the barracks, and looked at the Desik camp in the distance at the gate of the camp.

"Slim, what's going on?" General Montgomery also came to the front line, and now that Count Mosicke is not there, the supreme commanders of the front line are him and Slim, "What are the nerves of the Desiks?"

"Not quite sure, General Montgomery. Yesterday the scouts came to report that a large number of transport ships had come up the Morro River, and I wonder if it was reinforcements from the Desiks. Slim turned back to report to Montgomery.

"Go back, Slim, I don't really believe the Desik will do anything on this foggy day. Be careful, though. General Montgomery thought for a moment, turned around and waved at the herald, signaling him to come over, "Immediately let the battalions be armoured and ready for battle." ”

"Also," Montgomery turned to Slim, "Slim, you take the cavalry of the Guards, get ready, go to the front and have a look, bring more people, I always feel that something is wrong." ”

"Okay general, no problem. I'll go. Slim shook off his cloak and turned around and left.

"Woo woo woo", in the thick fog in the air, there was a low whimper, and a small group of soldiers of the cavalry of the Guards seemed to hear some sounds, and the war horses looked a little uneasy. They were the spearhead of the Guards cavalry, walking ahead of the cavalry brigade to provide early warning. The cavalry squad leader raised his hand to signal everyone's attention, and slowly drew his weapon from his waist with the other hand.

"Whew, snort," the war horse gasped, becoming more and more uneasy. Then, the team leader rubbed his eyes, and some black shadows seemed to appear in the distant mist. "Captain, what's that?" exclaimed one of the soldiers, unable to suppress his fear.

"Peng!" A large black figure suddenly pounced out of the mist, the team leader's eyes widened, and he just wanted to raise the weapon in his hand, "boom", the black shadow rushed through his body and directly knocked him out.

"Ahh Thousands of Steppenwolves, carrying the Knights of the Wasteland, rushed across the vast plains of Kursk and rushed towards the San Jose camp not far away.

Not far behind the cavalry scout team, Viscount Slim with a thousand cavalry of the Guards was behind him, and the screams of the scouts in the distance startled everyone, and then, several war horses and knights were galloping, "Desik, Desik wolf riders!"

Viscount Slim's face turned pale, and he suddenly lifted his mace from under the belly of his horse, "Guards cavalry, prepare to fight." "There was no hesitation at all.

The cavalrymen of the Guards drew their cavalry swords or raised their spears, ready to meet them. Viscount Slim, on the other hand, quietly summoned two subordinates. "Hurry back to the camp and report, Desik's army is raiding." Prepare General Montgomery and the Guards cavalry will buy them time!"
