Because the members of the Half Moon Alliance have extensive independent rights, they occasionally come out to engage in some aggressive and expansionary activities. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 It is rare for these aggressors to have the guts to annex another member state, as that would anger the upper echelons of the alliance. Once the alliance sends troops, things are not so simple.

Therefore, the most that the countries that engage in aggression are fighting for one acre and three points of land at the border, and they do not dare to really wave their troops directly at the other side's capital. It is not possible to make a fortune by relying on this small fight, but the land and population obtained are enough to play a role for a long time to come.

As the leader and mediator of these member states, the Half Moon Alliance never cares about such small-scale wars, and is even happy to see some small contradictions between member states. What's more, some contradictions were directly or indirectly contributed to by the top level of the Half Moon Alliance. This is a way for the leaders of the alliance to maintain the balance of member states, and the more depleted the bottom, the more stable the upper echelons.

At present, the new Grand Duke of the Principality of Finner has just come to power, and the old power system has been difficult to completely disintegrate, and the internal war of the Principality has caused a lot of internal friction. The Alpha Kingdom on the southeast side of the Principality of Finir took the opportunity to reap some benefits, so it gathered troops to the border to harass the Principality of Finir.

The Alpha Kingdom is one of the member countries of the Half-Moon Alliance, and compared with the Principality of Finir, the Alpha Kingdom is relatively small, with the territory dominated by plains, and agriculture and plantation are the most abundant in the central Alpha River Basin; There are two ports in the south, and the maritime status is very important.

Overall, the economic strength of the Alpha Kingdom is better than that of the Principality of Finnier, but due to the large population in the territory, food has become an important factor in maintaining the normal operation of the kingdom. Unfortunately, food production in the Alpha River basin is not stable, and in many cases, due to the impact of rain, there will be a phenomenon that the supply exceeds the demand.

In order to change this situation, the kingdom targeted the fertile plains on the border of the Duchy of Finnier and sent troops to seize it.

But there is one thing that annoys the authorities of the Alpha Kingdom.

Walter, the leader of the "Banner Corps" stationed on the southeastern border of the Duchy of Finnier, was one of the first generals to announce the recognition of the new Grand Duke's status. Moreover, due to the premature exposure of the Alpha Kingdom's aggressive intentions, the Banner Corps did not engage in the war of rebellion and rebellion like the other principality armies, but remained firmly in place.

In this way, it is impossible for the Alpha Kingdom to get their hands on the fertile plains they covet without bloodshed, but fortunately, the number of banner troops is not large, the strength is average, and they cannot get assistance from anywhere, and it is not difficult to deal with alone.

So, late one night, when most of the people were already in a dream, the Thirteenth Legion of the Alpha Kingdom secretly crossed the border, killed a patrol team in the Principality of Finnier, and according to the information provided by the intelligence officer, they reached for the Banner Legion station.

It's late autumn, the weather is getting colder, and although the border is inhabited, most of the farmers rely on the weather for food. In such weather, everyone falls asleep at nightfall, and dreams are at their deepest. When the intruders passed by the side of the village, they were not even noticed.

As the leaders of the Thirteenth Legion of the Alpha Kingdom passed through these places on tall horses, the commander who walked at the forefront, and the commander with a silver cross emblem engraved on his armor muttered, "Sleep, and when the sun rises tomorrow, this place will be subjugated under another banner." ”

The confidence of the commander did not come out of nowhere. The Thirteenth Legion of the Alpha Kingdom, although not long enough in history, is one of the strongest armed forces in the Kingdom. Legionnaires wore crosses, which meant "horizontal can be defended, vertical can be deep". Its composition is complex, mainly composed of powerful and high-level orc warriors, and it has a fight with the fallen War Bear Cavalry Regiment of the Duchy of Finnier.

The generals of the Thirteenth Legion only regarded this battle as an opportunity to test their strength, and did not take it very seriously, because the resistance of the Duchy of Finnier was no different from hitting a stone with an egg. You must know that most of these orc warriors are above the silver high level, and with their own strength bonuses and sophisticated weapons and equipment bonuses, the overall strength is beyond doubt.

"Your Excellency, this is the second time that His Majesty has used the Thirteenth Legion. The first time we beat the invaders to the tail and fled back to our hometown, this time the enemy was weak, and we were engaged in a sneak attack, I believe that one night is enough to destroy most of them. ”

A junior knight patted the general's ass at the right time, but only got a cold reply: "Don't take it lightly. There is never a definite number on the battlefield, and if you want to win undefeated, you must treat every battle with the utmost care. ”

The knight was bored and had to remain silent, but he felt a little unconvinced. In his eyes, the general in front of him is actually the most conceited person, but now he wants to pretend to be low-key. In the virtual battles of the kingdom's legions, the thirteenth legion is always the last victor, and with such an honor on the body, any low-profile appearance is another kind of show-off.

After a long trek through the wilderness, the vanguard that was ahead slowed down. The herald ran between the squads, suggesting that they were now approaching the Banner Corps' station.

The Alpha Kingdom had already figured out the situation of the Banner Corps in advance. The entire corps was divided into four quarters, with an average of about 400 men per station, separated by a certain distance so that they could respond to each other in case of danger, or leave enough time for the rest of the group to retreat.

In this way, if they want to annihilate all their forces in one fell swoop, the Thirteenth Legion of the Alpha Kingdom must also divide their own ranks into four groups.

There was a risk that the Thirteenth Legion would be too weak to divide into four forces, as the Thirteenth Legion was too strong because it was too many of the Legions, and that the number of the Thirteenth Legion was much smaller than that of the Standard Legion. Therefore, according to the intention of the command, it was decided to adopt the method of concentrating forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy's forces first.

The nights were quiet and cold. Soldiers patrolling the perimeter of the Banner Corps kept walking back and forth with spears in their hands. On such a night, everyone seems to be in extra good spirits, and even the occasional hint of sleepiness disappears with the sudden cool breeze.

In the darkness of night, the troops of the Alpha Kingdom were quietly approaching them. The scouts had already reported all the situation in the station to the commander, so long before approaching the station, everyone had already taken some measures to ensure that their whereabouts were not revealed in advance.
