readx;? In July, the three continents of Olopa enter a hot and humid summer, and under the influence of this climate, people usually become lazy, but for the ancient empire in the northwest, it is destined to be turned upside down and the sun 'color' in this summer.

It has been three months since the mysterious disappearance of the 'empress', and the contradictions between the only two powerful princes in the empire have not faded with time, but have become more and more acute and 'intense' under the agitation of some well-intentioned people, and finally embarked on a road of no return: civil war.

The town of Heisong, 180 kilometers south of Alexandria, the imperial capital, is the key pass of the 'gate' household of the imperial capital, and the two princes who competed for the imperial power stopped the endless temptation of 'sexual' intrusion, and led their main army to launch a decisive battle in this important military town.

On the defensive side was Yure, Prince of Mercadenburg, who actually controlled the imperial capital, and on the attacking side was Genio, Prince of Busuburg, who had fled.

Although the army of the Prince of Busuburg was menacing, the army of the Prince of Mercadenburg had the upper hand in terms of troops, combat qualities, and logistical supplies, and it also had the defensive advantage of strong walls, so that before the war began, almost no one would have been optimistic about the Prince of Busubao, however, the real development of events surprised everyone.

Originally, the Prince of Mecardenburg entrusted the management of the imperial capital to Archduke Rousseau and his civilian group before leaving the imperial capital to go on the expedition, but he did not expect that when the war was at its most 'intense', the civilian group suddenly cut off the logistical supply to the army of the Prince of Mercardenburg, and I heard that the Grand Duke Rousseau also changed the flag on the castle and changed it to the Prince of Busubao, the enemy who supported him.

The news of this backyard fire, like a thunderclap on the ground, exploded in the army of the Prince of Mercadenburg. [

Enraged, Yurek personally led his army back to the imperial capital to pacify the rebellious civil officials, but General Bazak Menavino, who accompanied him as an adjutant, dissuaded him. Bazak said that at the critical moment of victory or defeat in this battle, it was very inappropriate for Yure, as the commander, to leave suddenly, and it was only to deal with a few civilian officials and a small number of security forces left behind, and Bazak and his imperial capital guards were enough to deal with it. The Prince of Mercadenburg agreed, and General Menavino led his troops back.

However, after two days and two nights of fierce fighting, the severed logistics line was never restored. Food and ammunition could not be replenished, and although the strategic supplies in the reserve warehouse in Black Pine Town were enough to support them for a while, the fear began to spread among the army, and morale was significantly affected. In response to this situation, Yulie scolded Bazak for his incompetence and for delaying his efforts to deal with a group of civil officials, but the arrogant prince had no other way but to curse, because none of the messengers he sent to the imperial capital had returned, and he did not know the situation in the imperial capital, let alone what had happened to his confidant Bazak.

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

At around 5 a.m. the next morning, the body is usually at its most tired and defensive. Suddenly, behind the defensive line of the Prince of Mercarden's army, in the woods northwest of the town of Black Pines, earth-shattering cries of killing were heard. Countless soldiers of the Prince of Fort Busu emerged from the darkness. The darkness before dawn concealed the true number of incoming enemy troops, and the dense woods were seen as dense soldiers, giving the unprepared defenders the illusion of being embattled, and suddenly falling into a 'chaos' and 'chaos'.

Any army, no matter how strong it is in frontal combat, is the most vulnerable behind it. The army of the Prince of Mercadenburg, who had been stabbed in the back, was slaughtered until His Royal Highness personally executed two cowardly knights, and the collapse like a lack of embankment was suppressed. At this time, the sky was a little brighter than before, but it was clear that the number of enemy troops sneaking up behind was actually not as large as expected, but the barracks, positions, warehouses, watchtowers and other important military facilities on the northern outskirts of Heisong Town had fallen under the control of the army of Prince Busubao.

Just as Yuri was about to personally lead his army and take advantage of the enemy's unstable position to recapture these important facilities, the enemy forces south of the town of Black Pine suddenly launched a large-scale full-scale attack, so that Yulie had to give up this best opportunity for a counteroffensive and turn to passive defense.

In the following days, the Prince of Busuburg launched a frantic north-south attack on the town of Black Pine, and the Prince of Mercadenburg, who was firmly holding on to the town of Black Song, held on to the danger, and the two sides fought bloodily for seven days and seven nights. The small Black Pine Town was full of blood and corpses. There has always been a doubt in Yulie's heart, how did the enemy manage to silently transport a large number of troops to his back? Not only personnel, but even materials are constantly appearing in the military tents of the enemy army in the north, if it is to use space to teleport magic, without two giant magic arrays, it is impossible to teleport such a huge army; if it is said that it is transported by digging tunnels, Yulie has sent people to listen to the movements under the ground of Heisong Town from the beginning, and has not noticed the sound of digging tunnels; although some soldiers can be secretly transported over the mountains and mountains, it is almost impossible to transport such a huge amount of materials...... How, on earth did that guy Genio?

But the thought of this question could only last until the evening of the seventh day, for Yure's mind had to be occupied by another, more important question, that is, how long could his army hold out?

There has been no news from the imperial capital and the army of General Bazak Menavino, and Yulie has already become suspicious, although the combat strength of the guards still has the upper hand, but in the case of cutting off reinforcements and supplies, the wounded of each unit have reached 50%, the army has only enough food for three days, and there is only one round of arrows left, and the situation is difficult, and the morale is getting lower and lower; although the number of attackers is small, the logistics supply is very perfect, and the replenishment of soldiers, the evacuation of the wounded, and the supply of materials are all carried out in an orderly manner. In the long run, the defenders will eventually be dragged out in a war of attrition.

After a night of deliberation and deployment, Yulie concentrated all his living forces and launched a large-scale breakthrough on the morning of the eighth day. To the north, the army of Prince Busubao resisted for just over an hour before it was overwhelmed. Yulie, the Prince of Mercardenburg, who successfully broke through, looked back at the tasteless and discarded 'chicken' ribs - Black Pine Town, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly. Then, with his army, Yurek marched to the imperial capital to the north. Regardless of what happened to the Imperial Capital, Yurek believed that with his current army, he would be able to cope with it, and as long as he could successfully return to the rich Imperial Capital, he would have a chance to retake the strategic location of Black Pine Town.

What actually happened, however, was much more than Yulie expected. When his army returned to the imperial capital, he was greeted only by the tight city gates, the moat with the drawbridge, and the cold arrows.

The civil bureaucracy, led by Duke Rousseau, was not eliminated, but worked normally in the city and maintained the daily order of the imperial capital. What was even more surprising to Yure's surprise was that General Bazak Menavino, who had always been loyal to him, betrayed him. At this time, it was Bazak and his men who guarded the 'gates' of the city and pointed the finger at their former masters.

Anger, Yureh lost his mind, and he gave the order to attack the city, despite the fatigue of the long battle. Due to the haste in which he evacuated the town of Black Pine, his army had thrown away almost all its heavy equipment, and although it was outnumbered, it was not capable of attacking the city;

The Prince of Mercadenburg, who had suffered a great loss, finally came to his senses, and in the face of the unfavorable situation of a fortified city in front and a chasing army in the rear, the arrogant Yulie finally made the right choice. Before the arrival of the army of the Prince of Busubao, he took the rest of his army and drove to Bennega, a city west of the imperial capital, and used it as a base to rest.

The army of the Prince of Busubao, who had successfully conquered the town of Heisong, was overjoyed to learn that Yulie had been betrayed by his own subordinates under the imperial capital, and he did not bother to put in order to put in order the army that had been exhausted by the fierce fighting for several days, and immediately marched north, in an attempt to take over the imperial capital directly from his brother's rebels. In his opinion, since these armies had betrayed Yure's camp, they must have come to join him, and there would be no third force in the empire worthy of their allegiance.

Ironically, Genio, Prince of Busubao, who had always been known for his prudence and 'mastery' in his scheming, was carried away in the face of victory and lost his due judgment.

When Jenio led his army into the city with a cheerful escort of the Bazak and Imperial Capital guards, he was suddenly ambushed by a premeditated attack. Genio's command center was almost completely wiped out, and he himself fought his way out of the siege under the combined protection of all the soldiers. Although he successfully escaped, the little advantage that he had accumulated with great difficulty was almost all gone.

Driven out of the city, Jenio could only lead the remnants back to Black Pine Town.

Black Pine Town, Imperial Capital, and Benniga City, the three strongholds are standing in full force, and the three armies are preparing for a new round of fighting.

However, for the 'chaos' situation of the Rocard Empire, this is only the beginning of a major catastrophe.
