Chapter 779: Yang Mou (4)
With the continuation of the Lower Maginot War, both the Holy Light Empire, which had been fighting in this coastal area for half a year, and the Griffin Empire, which later joined the battlefield, were not satisfied, and only set up their headquarters on islands nearly 100 nautical miles away from the coast of the Western Regions of the Central Continent, so as early as the beginning of this year, the high-level commanders of the two sides began to gather the giant warships in their hands, connected them together with iron chains, and arranged them on the sea less than 10 nautical miles away from the coastline of the Western Regions of the Central Continent.
Because the warships used by both sides were all giant warships, such as those of the Pacifier class, coupled with the fact that the water depth of the western region of the Central Continent was just right, and the wind on the sea surface and the climate in the coastal area were quite good, the two Allied forces were stunned and managed to move the command post forward for nearly a hundred miles.
However, not to mention the griffin command post that was disturbed by the battle situation on the Maginot Line, it stands to reason that the Holy Light Empire command post, which has quietly withdrawn its troops from the front-line war zone, is now in a more relaxed situation, and its current situation can be said to be more uncomfortable than the death of his father and mother, and the faces of almost every high-ranking officer of the Divine Light Empire who have survived here are now full of resentment.
"The abominable sun never sets! How they do it! Looking at the strategic map in front of him, Narant cursed the sun with a low expression of resentment, and wrote the instructions that were to be passed on to the legions with the quill pen in his hand.
Although on the surface, the top management of the Holy Light Empire has so far publicly abandoned their plans to abandon the Maginot Campaign, in fact, except for the Griffon Empire and the rest of the members of the Anti-Sun Fighting Alliance, this situation is not known. The forces belonging to the side on which the sun never sets and a small number of neutral factions and the grass faction on the wall are more or less aware of the overall direction of the battle between the two sides in the future, and even some know that this war will end hastily in the near future, of course, this is the conclusion drawn by those forces from the information that has been exposed so far. If they knew that the sun never set was about to give up the plan of the Maginot and the empire on which the sun never sets, they would certainly not think so.
However, the fact is that the allies of the Holy Light Empire have also received this incredible information for them, and although they are divided in their thinking, their response is the same: continue to fight and ignore the news.
As one of the two factions, the ignorance faction is carried by the incredible griffon empire, half of the reason why the griffon empire cannot get accurate information. On the other hand, because the Sunset Intelligence Organization handled it too perfectly, so that the Griffin Empire and its subordinate countries, allies, etc., all thought that this was a trap made by the Sunset Empire, after all, the Sunset Empire had cheated them too many times. Whether it is the naval raid on the middle of the continent, the disgusting but effective combat method of the Maginot of Upper March, or all the other actions against the anti-sun and never set strategic alliance, the frightened birds of the anti-sun and never set alliance subconsciously attribute it to the empire that the sun never sets when faced with any wrong situation.
On the other hand, of course, the Holy Light Empire and its vassals. There are also other truly powerful forces in the anti-sun and never-setting strategic alliance. Like the Orc Empire, these people basically knew that the Divine Light Empire's retreat plan was true, but they didn't care about it, or it could be said that even if they wanted to change, it was useless.
Unlike the vassal states of the Griffon Empire, the Divine Light Empire did not control those vassal states and allies by force and material, but by faith. As the fundamental owner of the Holy Light Sect, the Divine Light Empire's control over these small countries is dozens of times stronger than that of the Griffin Empire, because the Holy Light Empire is fully capable of doing so. It doesn't take any force to make these small countries change hands overnight or plunge into total chaos, after all, the people of the Middle Ages. Loyalty to the faith is still very deep.
And similar to the Orc Empire, they themselves are not interested in this kind of thing, first of all, no matter from that point of view, the ultimate victim is just the Holy Light Empire's sworn rival Griffin Empire, and secondly, these forces basically rely on the materials of the Holy Light Empire to maintain the battle, and they can't even pull their face to betray their friendly and good partner who helps them for free.
But now the plan of the Holy Light Empire can be said to be half-in vain, because just a few days after the front-line generals of the Holy Light Empire received the retreat plan issued by their superiors, the battle situation on the Lower Maginot Front has inexplicably undergone earth-shaking changes: first and foremost, the Lower Maginot Line is the merchant alliance leader, as a prominent area formed by the terrain in the entire Lower Maginot Line, although there are many natural fortifications here, Moreover, the Sun Never Sets Empire relied on the Merchant League, the capital of the former Commercial Alliance, to build the strongest steel defense line in the Lower Maginot Line, and now, the five acropolises set up here in the Lower Maginot have been told to break through the second line of defense of the Sun Never Set Empire.
You must know that in the establishment of the Lower Maginot Line, in fact, the strongest of the entire Maginot Line is its second wall, because the first line of defense of the Lower Maginot is not to stop the enemy's advance, but to strike at the enemy's warships as much as possible, so the first line of defense is not very strong, and the main defense facilities are all ship weapons, such as the old city defense weapon that never sets on the city (compared to artillery, because of the problem of accuracy and production, In fact, a very high number of giant crossbows have been hoarded in the previous battles, and the damage caused by them is much higher than that of the sunset artillery), concrete repelling horses, etc.
The last line of defense of the lower Magino was not completely built because of the relationship of time, although there are still many towers and some megalithic walls standing after the second line of defense of the lower Maginot, but they are basically intermittent existence, and after the start of the battle of the lower Maginot, because of the needs of the battle, the third wall of the lower Maginot has been converted from a fortification into a barracks, a transit station, a warehouse, etc. Therefore, the Lower Maginot Line had only and could only rely on the second line of defense to defend against the enemy, and the arrow towers of the third wall and the rest of the fortifications could only provide long-range support.
In addition to not having a large number of heavy weapons, the second line of defense is extremely terrifying in terms of explosives barrels, Greek fire, arrows, etc., after all, in the battles fought by the Sunset Empire, they can basically be classified as material stations.
And if the enemy captures the second line of defense, then it is basically certain that two things will inevitably occur: first, the logistics supply of the Sunset Empire has been completely collapsed, and the collapse here does not mean that the logistics line of the Sunset Empire is destroyed, but to achieve that the materials hoarded by the frontline troops of the Sunset Empire are no longer enough to meet the needs of the Sunset Frontline for 1 week, and at the same time, at least the entire logistics material production line in the middle of the Central Continent of the Sunset Empire must collapse.
And the second point is that the troops on the front line of the Sun Never Set Empire must be consumed at least more than two-thirds of the initial number: no way, the morale accumulated by the long-term victory of the Sun Never Set Empire has exceeded what ordinary people imagined, and the original so-called army loss of 3 achievements will collapse, it is absolutely impossible to use it on Sun Never Set.
But you must know that before this, the Sun Never Sets Empire was due to the end of the battle in the eastern part of the Lower Maginot Empire, which made the military strength of the western region of Lower Maginot gain the strength of several legions, and at the same time, it stands to reason that the Empire of the Lower Maginot did not have to cross the forest to support the eastern part of the Lower Maginot Empire, and the battle in the western part of the Lower Maginot should be easier, right, how could it suddenly become the current situation?
It's not that the generals of the Holy Light Empire don't understand, but they all know that this must be a plan that the Sunless Empire came up with in order to drag them down, but at the same time, this makes the generals of the Holy Light Empire feel very unacceptable, because the Sunset Empire gives up the strongest second line of defense, which means that the Sunset Empire is going to directly open the country for itself to invade.
The generals of the Holy Light Empire had thought that the Sun Never Set Empire would most likely fight an encirclement after Maginot was put now, but according to the current actual situation on the Maginot battlefield, it was impossible to do this, because there was no area suitable for ambush in the invasion area exposed by the Sun Never Set Empire, and even if there were, how could it not be exposed to the surveillance of the griffin knights of the Griffin Empire.
"However, there are indeed signs that the army of the Sun Never Sets Empire has moved a large number to the rear and the eastern defense line, and the latter is impossible to deal with, after all, there are at least more than 20 integrated regular army units stationed in the east now......... It seems that someone is going to send someone to send air troops from the Griffon Empire to get it, no matter what interruptions there are on the side where the sun does not set, the crippled troops will definitely not be able to defeat our million-strong army. After thinking about it, Narant decided on the content of the first letter, and as for the content of the second letter......
'Hey'!" After sighing, Narant finally decided, and wrote in the second letter that the Divine Light Empire's forces should continue to maintain the status quo, even if it was completely contrary to the order behind his back to withdraw the troops from the Lower Maginot Line.
However, Narant did not know that at the moment when he finished writing the second letter, the place where the army in his hand was supposed to be evacuated by boat had been engulfed in flames. (To be continued......)
