1143 20,000 kilometers of front with Kevin's choice
The glow of the setting sun shines on the sky, and from the sky dome, the Old World of Fein is filled with a peaceful golden dust, like the Gospel frescoes of the Goddesses painted on the dome of the Temples of Order.
However, a little flame bloomed across the vast land of East Fein, destroying the tranquility and the original divine aura.
It stretches from the Bled Coast in the north, to the Emerald Castle, the capital of Redstone, to the southeast, to the skies over Norton, and to the Iron Crown, the capital of Hadrang. From the sky to the earth, the flames rose one after another, endlessly, pulling out a battle line of more than 20,000 kilometers.
On the west coast of Bled, landing craft made of rough steel and even wooden planks rushed to the beachhead, the gangplanks fell, and soldiers in black armor poured out, led by various magic guide vehicles painted in the same color, and rushed to the depths of the coast. It had been obscured by flames and sky-high smoke, and the sky above it was filled with ballistics of various colors, dense as rain.
Commander of the Bled Legion of the Holy Will Empire, Marquis Kottins unveiled his landing craft and waded onto the beach on foot.
Looking around at the landing forces of the Reich, he sighed that everything was going well.
As an important part of the Empire's strategic alliance with the Red Alliance, Kettins is on a mission to attack the Dawning Empire from the direction of Bled. In the past few years, he has been reorganizing his troops on the east coast of the Inland Sea, preparing landing craft and other supplies, and today he has transported the vanguard across the Inland Sea in one go, so that the combat boots of the Empire can re-enter the territory of the Dawning Empire.
When all the 300,000 troops under his command set foot on the eastern shore of the Inland Sea, the humiliation left by the Empire in the land of Bled will be completely cleansed.
The always cautious Kettins is also unusually optimistic about the future, and this confidence comes from the army he has at his disposal, which is a new army. It's not about the equipment, but from the commander to the soldiers, they are all firm and loyal.
A few days ago, while the Emperor purged the tyrannical church and the arcanist forces, he also reorganized the imperial army, which was composed of several units that were the first to complete the formation.
The main body of the legion is the light infantry, and these soldiers from the second-line legion and even the local guard do not have any extraordinary strength, and have only maintained law and order locally. After the Black Blood Temple incident, almost all of the main front-line legions were disbanded, and these innocent, loyal and reliable soldiers were incorporated into the new Imperial Army.
Although the light infantry did not have extraordinary strength, they were equipped with magic steel armor and weapons, plus dwarven muskets, which allowed them to threaten the extraordinary enemies in numbers. The magic steel equipment is all from the Red Alliance, and the dwarven musket relies on the technology transferred by the Red Alliance, which is developed and produced by the empire itself.
The Bled Legion under Kettins, with up to 100,000 light infantry, was tasked with stretching the line and capturing rural towns and military locations.
The enemy they faced was not very strong, and the Dawning Empire left behind a large but complex force in Bled, consisting mainly of several legions of the Three Northern Kingdoms, and most of the soldiers did not have extraordinary strength. Although he was replaced with the armor of the new era, he could not use the magic weapons of the same era, and still used bows, crossbows, swords, and spears, so he could only retreat to various strongholds for defense.
The number of independent battalions left behind by Marshal of the Dawning Empire in Bled were the greatest threat, and the light infantry of the Holy Will Empire were as weak as tofu scum in the face of these "modern forces".
Fighting this kind of enemy is not the task of light infantry, it is necessary to use heavy infantry.
The heavy infantry is the main force of the Kettins' Northern Legion, and these soldiers are at least probationary-level transcendents equipped with volavolwill armor and use automatic magic weapons.
The Will Armor is a special armor developed by Arcanists loyal to the Empire based on the magic weapons of the Red Alliance, and adapted to the actual situation of their country. It has a simple skeleton and modular design, but it is not as complex as the Red Union Wizard Armament, does not require external energy support, and does not rely on ethereal spirits, and the heavy infantry must rely on their own bodies and strength to drive the warframe.
With less than 20,000 heavy infantry, Kettins organized into several independent brigades, which were dropped onto the battlefield through various platforms such as magic vehicles, transport planes, and even floating ships, and served as the attack knives of the Imperial Army with the fighters in the sky and the combat vehicles on the ground.
Neither light infantry nor heavy infantry is a decisive force on the battlefield, and it is the "technical equipment" of magic vehicles, fighters, and floating ships that dominate the battle situation.
There are nearly 300,000 fighters under the command of Kottins, and most of the rest are operated by these equipment, except for the infantry, which can be described as powerful.
What gave Kettins the most headache was the staggering number of powerful "technical equipment".
There is a wide variety of these pieces of equipment, and the models are mixed. There are not only four-legged and six-legged bionic magic vehicles, but also magic vehicles with foot wheels and footshoes. There are those who burn magic crystals directly, those who burn magic oil, and those that directly use magic batteries. Of course, there are various categories such as transport vehicles, reconnaissance vehicles, assault vehicles, artillery vehicles, and missile vehicles. Assault vehicles that use various types of magic machine guns and shotguns alone can be divided into hundreds of categories.
In order to organize these magic cars together, Kettins retreated for several days, studying a lot of "fate science" of the Red Union, and barely managed to find the doorway. And after the grouping, there are more difficult levels such as logistics supply and joint operations.
The magic guide car is like this, and the magic guide plane is not much better.
Kettins' Northern Legion had more than 2,000 magic planes, most of them old propeller planes. There are salmon sardines, monkfish and manta rays aided by the Red Union, as well as similar models imitated by the empire, as well as various propeller planes developed by the follow-up. The weapons used by the fighters spanned several eras, even the oldest of the Rotary Tube Magic Machine Guns, although they were only six or seven years old.
To sum up, the Kettins Legion is almost the historical exhibition hall of the changes in the military equipment of the world in Finn during the past six or seven years, condensing all the changes from the old era to the new era. Before Kettins led the army into battle, he complained when he saw the equipment list, and felt that his legion had become a garbage dump.
Fortunately, the command and communication system supported by the Red Union allows Kettins to control the troops down to the squadron/hour level, otherwise he would have to divide the troops and decentralize the power to get the entire army moving.
The landing was very successful, and the resistance of the Dawning Empire on the coastline was very weak, and when we got deeper into the interior of Bled, things would certainly be different.
Kettins was confident that he would deal with the existing enemies in Brad, but when the Dawning Empire came to his aid, he was less confident.
Looking at the circle of guards around him, and then looking up at the sky, looking beyond the low-altitude propeller planes, and finding the vague figure of the battleship in the clouds, Kettins was relieved.
At that time, it will have to rely on the real core combat power of the Empire......
The Kettins Legion is not the elite power of the Empire, but the Dragonspirit Battleship and the Soul Warrior are.
He had a squad of Soul Warriors by his side as guards, and their power came from the soul contract of the powerful wurm race. This contract was modified by the Arcanist from the ancient Dragon Knight Pact, and is similar in principle to the enslavement circle of the Dragonspirit.
Commonly equipped with dragon armor and weapons, the Soul Warriors possess great physical strength and jaw-dropping anti-demon properties, as well as self-healing abilities close to those of dragons. Coupled with the equipment that is stronger than ordinary magic weapons, although the combat power is not as good as the commandos of the Red Alliance, in the simulated confrontation between the Red Federation and the Empire, it is also steadily overpowering the ordinary soldiers of the Red Alliance.
Kettins knew that there was an even more elite class of Soul Warriors, whose powers were granted by the Emperor himself, and who could restrain the various transcendent powers that existed in the world of Finn.
However, this elite known as the "Soul Guard" also disappeared in the previous purge, and Kettins did not know the details, speculating that either he had made a mistake in the matter of loyalty like the Church of Tyranny and the Arcanist, or had acquired more powerful technology and was using that technology to further transform the Soul Guard.
As for the dragon spirit battleship on his head, it was not the loser who was swept away by the silver dragon soul released by the Dawning Empire in the sky of Bled. It is said that Chilian took the initiative to teach the corresponding ethereal spirit technology, making the control core formed by the fusion of the dragon and the controller's twin souls more stable and safer, the manufacturing process is no longer so bloody and tragic, and the performance of the warship has also improved by leaps and bounds.
Now that most of the Soul Warriors and Dragonspirit Battleships are still in the hands of the Emperor, there is only one detachment and several Soul Warrior squads on the Kettins' side as support, and once the Dawning Empire invests elite forces to fight back, it will have to rely on them to contain it.
The gaze pierced through the clouds and cast it higher into the sky, where there was another force, and the Red Union battleship was already dormant.
Thinking of the Red Alliance, Kettins had mixed feelings.
He has always had a good impression of the Red Alliance, and he is also the most resolute "pro-Red faction" in the military circles of the French Empire.
However, thinking that the battlefield of Bled was only given up by the Red Alliance, the Empire was deeply restrained by the Red Federation from the Dragon Spirit technology to the attitude towards the rebel forces, and he was also very uncomfortable.
The Red Federation also had a detachment to support the Kottins, and the first goal that Kettins set for himself in the Battle of Bled was to prevent the Red League from making a move.
Of course, that was not possible, and the other task of the Red Union Detachment was to supervise the forces of the Reich and not allow them to harm the local population of Bled.
"What an uncomfortable war......"
Khotins muttered, his original good mood dropping.
"It's really uncomfortable to watch these guys of the Will Empire doing evil in the land of Bled!"
At an altitude of hundreds of kilometers, a killer whale led a dozen warships to move at a low speed, and in this battleship, which temporarily served as the flagship of the Bled task force of the First Fleet of the Red Union Navy, Mo Quinn, deputy director of the Red Union High Union Chieftaincy Department, shouted unhappily.
The Brad map projected from the command station is dotted with dots of light of various sizes, each representing a Dawn Empire army or a military installation.
One of the three elders of the High Union Chieftain, the orc chieftain Broken Tooth-Starspot looked at these points of light and echoed: "Yes, if we are replaced, if we lose a team in each stronghold, we can take over the entire territory of Brad in two or three days!"
Then he showed a worried look: "But our assault team still has problems in the organization, each team should be assigned an orc, otherwise no one is responsible for singing the war song......
Morquin coughed and changed the subject: "I hope the war here can end as soon as possible, we have more and more important things to do, and His Highness Karin should soon find the entrance to the Tinneway Kingdom." ”
The personal representative of the High Union Chief Karin, the legendary Shadow Slayer Samihan, pinched his chin and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the war has just begun, at least it will be longer than our lives." ”
Starspot seemed to be itching all over, squeezed his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders and twisted his waist and shouted, "Damn! Where's my shamisen? Listening to proverbs without accompaniment is like eating meat without drinking!"
..................
To the west of the red stone, the Emerald Castle in the oasis was covered in thick smoke and dust, and the barrier had collapsed, and clusters of flames shone in the smoke and dust, followed by a loud sound of buildings collapsing, and the earth shook slightly.
The movement here is much smaller than the battle on the Bled Coast, with each firework signaling the destruction of a military installation, and each scream representing the death or wounding of a stubborn resistant. No houses were affected, and no people were injured by mistake.
It is precisely in the spirit of the tenet of "precision strikes and thorough sweeping" that the war has lasted from early morning to the present.
High in the sky, black whales scan the entire city. Beneath the clouds, warplanes roared by, destroying freshly emerged vehicles or large equipment with fishbones or shark spines missiles.
The White Dolphin transport plane hovered low in the city, playing the Red Union's announcement over and over again, and occasionally sporadic gunfire rang out in the city, which was the Red Federation's armored commando team as a unit, sweeping up the houses and even the people, and continuing to resist the Dawn Empire soldiers.
Several roads of heavy tracked chariots with five pairs of load-bearing wheels entered the city from different directions, converging at the central enchantment tower. Just as the sun sank into the sky, and the moonlight began to rise, a dark golden flame lit up at the top of the enchantment tower, like a sunset rebirth, illuminating the entire city.
"The Crimson Realm has been activated, and the Emerald Castle has completely fallen into our hands!"
Receiving Hesler's report, Finn, the commander of the Second Front, breathed a sigh of relief, all aspects of the battle of Emerald Fort did not exceed expectations, and the Dawning Empire ...... Or rather, Rhemak has given up on this.
His gaze turned to another curtain of light on the command platform, where was the Fleet City, which had been reduced to ruins. Tens of thousands of local legions of the Dawning Empire, as well as several units of directly subordinate legions, were still there to clean up the wreckage and rescue the wounded.
The Red Union forces had already withdrawn from there, taking tens of thousands of workers with them, and it seemed that Rimako was not willing to give up there. After all, judging from the map, the loss of Fleet City would have completely separated Redstone from Norton.
The wars of this era have long been more than just one plane, and this kind of land connection is meaningless. But Rhemak's boss should be the kind of brainless person who can only look at maps, and even if he doesn't, he will pretend to be, so he will attack Rhimac.
Finn heart said the central ...... No, strictly speaking, the cardinal knows the person of Remako and his situation in the Dawning Empire very well. Squeezing Ryomac into a place like Fleet City and ignoring it is really a good way to minimize mortal casualties.
So let's just leave Rimac there......
After giving the order to send several squadrons of fighters to monitor Fleet City, Finn's attention turned to a light curtain that was only the sky, but the intensity of the battle was much higher than that of Emerald Castle.
It was two squadrons of Sharks holding off a modest Dawning Empire fleet consisting of more than twenty Viscount-Baron-class warships and hundreds of battle ships. The male shark fought so hard that it seemed that he couldn't stop it.
This small flotilla suddenly rushed out of the base west of Valentine, and it was advancing at full speed, and the navy was unable to intercept it for a while, so the Second Front had to temporarily take the blame.
Finn sighed, "That's why I said, at least I've got to leave some horned whales for me!"
This is just a minor trouble, in another two hours at most, the naval warships stationed in the Weeping Sand Sea will be able to arrive, after all, it is the territory of the Dawning Empire.
Although the main fleet of the Dawning Empire was completely wiped out in the Battle of the Heart of the Silver Moon, there was still a small fleet in the Northern Ice Sea, and there were many warships left in the sky over Valentine to defend the imperial capital. At this stage, the navy wants to completely dominate the skies of the empire, and this goal is a bit overbearing.
Finn was relieved and curious, this small fleet seemed to be heading for Norton, and the Ethereal Staff estimated that it was the new lair of the Santarin Society, the new lair of the magician organization.
Is something big going on there?
It wasn't for him to consider, Finn shook his head, and after confirming the movement of his ships to the Navy, his gaze turned to his last focus.
..................
In the Iron Crown City, the capital of Hadron, in the main hall of the original royal palace and now in the lobby of the Governor's Palace, Kevin Town, the commander of the Southern Army of the Dawning Empire, looked at the arguing imperial officials and the local nobles of Hadron in a trance, and did not say a word.
Some faint sounds wafted outside the royal hall, and if you listened carefully, you could hear most of them.
"The Kingdom of Hadrang...... Fathers and fellow villagers...... Drop your weapon...... Abandon the darkness and turn to the light ......"
"Goddess of Order...... Treachery...... Theresia ......"
"Her Royal Highness Catherine...... Moderator ......"
It was the Red Alliance's planes broadcasting the surrender announcement, and last night, the Red Alliance's ground forces had arrived on the outskirts of the Iron Crown City and destroyed several artillery batteries built by the Empire, and the Red Alliance's fighters had long ruled the skies of Hadran.
"Marshal Donne!"
The Imperial Governor finally threw away his arrogant disguise and greeted Don En with some anger: "Don't you still have at least 200,000 troops under your command?
"Kevin Donn ——!"
The announcement that had been repeating outside suddenly changed its tone, and it was much louder, and every syllable could be heard very clearly. At the same time, the person was changed, so that Don En couldn't respond to the governor, and subconsciously turned his head, it was Li Qi's voice!
"Do you remember what you said when you sent Conrad's orphans to me?"
"You said I was a fellow traveler with the princess!"
"Now you think I'm definitely not, do you?"
"You're wrong!"
"I wasn't then, but now I am!"
"Because the princess was on the wrong side of the road!"
"She's been on the wrong continent!"
"I'm going to go on the right path for her!"
"Now that I've taken her on the right path, we're already fellow travelers!"
"What about you, Kevin, I'm waiting for you!"
Donn's eyes were foggy, and the governor here was shocked.
After a moment of silence, Donn looked somewhere in the hall.
There used to be a throne there, and one day the throne was stained with blood, and the princess stood in front of the throne and put a bloody crown on her head.
Yes, the princess went the wrong way, not at that time, but at the beginning......
Don exhaled turbid air, and his gaze became clear.
The Governor shouted, "Don is going to rebel against the Empire!
Don said coldly, "Catch him!"
The surrounding soldiers swarmed up and pinned the governor and his men to the ground.
Don glanced at the frightened officials and nobles, and said in a deep voice: "I am not a rebel empire, we are loyal to Theresia's cause, and if that cause is doomed to failure, then we can also be loyal to Hadlang, Princess Hadron and Queen Theresia." ”
"For the sake of the people of Hadlang, give up the war!"
When Donn said this, all those who were still standing nodded in relief.
On the Heart of the Silver Moon, seeing the white flag raised on the Iron Crown City from the live video sent back by Actea, Li Qi also breathed a sigh of relief.
This is not the victory that the Red Union wants, and the people of Hadran have not yet been liberated. But the Finn Salvation Platinum Alliance was established, and now the important thing is not the mortal revolution, but the human-god revolution, and all forces must be united to completely defeat the goddess of order.
"So ......"
Litchie ordered Wilson and Kane and the others in the distance: "Get ready to act, we are going to rush into Valentine again, this time it will not be as simple as going straight." ”
A thought directly crashed into Li Qi's heart: "Oh, do you want to be nine shallow and one deep this time? Li Qi, you are too dirty!"
