Chapter 100: The Citadel of the East

During the period when Evan accompanied Eru Lomei to give birth, and local scientists were frantically researching individual mecha technology, the first update of the Empire's armament had been officially completed. The three armed forces of the navy, the army, and the air force, which are based on the petroleum industry, have been formally upgraded, and the armed forces have implemented a more mobilizing conscription system on the basis of retaining the conscription system.

The Army's main combat units include nine armored divisions, 25 infantry divisions (two of which are responsible for amphibious missions) and three artillery divisions, and 33 infantry brigades, nine armored brigades, 15 artillery brigades and 10 helicopter regiments. All infantry is motorized, nearly half of which is mechanized, armed with armoured personnel carriers and some tanks.

The Navy has received fewer resources, and now it already has four destroyers, thirty-two frigates, thirty-three landing ships, and eighty-two submarines.

The air force did not invest too many resources because it would be replaced by the interstellar air force at any time, but only equipped ten fighters, ten attack planes, thirty bombers and twenty transport planes to ensure that the empire had absolute air supremacy.

These armies are all military forces directly controlled by the Menes Empire, not including the power of the Mechanical Empire, and the technology content is relatively low. Although there is no technical content, they are all zero-cost things, once the empire's technology tree climbs up, it can be eliminated at any time, and after forming an army, it can directly form an equipment crush against the native barbarians.

Whether it is the cabinet, Evan or Elu Romei, they all feel that the empire needs such an army to complete the foreign conquest as soon as possible, so that the star of Hyperion can be ruled by one regime and one will!

1563, rainy season.

Under the will of the Cabinet, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies decided to conquer the Chaldean Kingdom east of Myron before the formation of the Mecha Legion, and to expel the Mother River Civilization that had been hindering the eastward expansion of the Empire from the 'Citadel of the East'.

The Chaldeans (meaning the Ground Breaker) were occupied by a group of seals who were skilled in forging, steelmaking, and city building, so it was also called the land of giants. The Seal Clan is tall, fair-skinned, with an average height of about four meters, similar in appearance to humans, and uses adhesive language and cuneiform script. It has unique farming techniques, astronomical calendars, and art, and believes in the seventy-two pillar demon gods headed by the thunder god Baal.

The Chaldean kingdom was built between the two mother rivers of Karasu and Hedikiel, and owned the valley of the mother river and a series of fertile lands nearby. The regular flooding of the mother river basin has caused the banks of the mother river to accumulate fertile soil suitable for agriculture due to the flooding of the river. Because it looks like a triangular shield on the map, it happens to be stuck on the road of the empire's eastward expansion, and it is called the 'Fort of the East'.

The upper reaches of the Mother River basin were clustered with swampy lakes and the lower reaches were fertile, and irrigation networks were developed early on, forming an agrarian society centered on many cities. Because the two banks flow along the foothills, the tributaries along the way have a short flow and fast catchment, which often makes the river swell and flood, forming a vast and fertile alluvial plain along the coast, which is a rare fertile soil.

Due to the feud between the Seal Clan and the werewolf nomads further east, there are constant wars every year, so they rarely clash with the Empire. In addition, before the Menes were invaded by the Aliens, the most troublesome enemies had always been the barbarians of the South, so there was no deep hatred between the two countries.

It was precisely because there was no deep hatred that the Empire's plan to conquer the Chaldea maintained a certain degree of flexibility. Either completely surrender and become a client state of the empire, or get out of the mother river basin and give up the eastern fort. Otherwise, they will be treated as ordinary barbarians, and an extinction order will be implemented, so that the mother river civilization will disappear completely.

One by one, one by one

When the Sun King's envoy arrived in the Chaldean kingdom and made a vassal request to King Belshazzar, the king reluctantly and angrily rejected him, and personally cut off the envoy's hands to show his determination to resist.

King Belshazzar did not do so much because he had faith, but because of a stress response prompted by fear. Living next to the Menes Empire, Belshazzar witnessed the rapid changes of the other side. In fact, although his personality is more arrogant, he is a ruler with a certain vision.

A few years ago, after seeing that Menes had a planting method of four crops a year and a yield of 10,000 catties per mu, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and even prepared to unite with the wolf clan and the lizard clan to attack Menes. Strangled this country that could turn into a monster in the metamorphosis period, but before they could officially form an alliance, Menes was already overwhelmed by the demonic plague.

At that time, demonic disasters broke out frequently throughout the empire, and even cities and cultivated land were completely abandoned, and they retreated to military fortresses to defend against monsters. No matter how you look at it, it is a pill weather, so Belshazzar's plan to start in advance died before it was implemented. Who knows that the Menes actually survived the demonic disaster, and instead of consuming much national strength, they also transformed into an impenetrable monster under his nose.

According to Belshazzar's spies, the Menes were already equipped with cannons capable of spitting thunder and fire, could operate oil-fed, invulnerable chariots, and could even summon a giant iron bird with incredible speed to carry out a wide range of ground bombardment.

This must be sorcery!

In Belshazzar's opinion, the Menes Empire is now almost outrageous, and the source of all this witchcraft must be this generation of Sun Kings. It is rumored that the Sun King of this generation possesses boundless magical powers, not only can he easily unleash the demonic fire that destroys the city and destroys the pool, but also summons the invincible Giant of Light to serve him.

In the annals of the Seal Clan, the name of the Giant of Light is clearly mentioned as Ugart, and it also has a companion named Apus!

And this Apus is the sworn enemy of the thunder god Baal, the god of the dark abyss of the mother river civilization!

Since the Sun King was able to summon the Giant of Light, then he must be an accomplice of the God of the Dark Abyss, and that terrifying magic must also be a gift from the God of the Abyss. As a follower of the god of thunder, Belshazzar firmly believed that the Seals were blessed by the gods, and had the obligation to maintain the glory of the gods, and must not compromise with the gods of the abyss.

The gods will keep their believers!

With this in mind, Belshazzar recruited allies and pinned his hopes on reinforcements from his allies. On the one hand, a large-scale conscription is prepared to rely on the protection of the Giant Fortress to gain time and precious time.

On the other side, when the dying emissary was sent back to the Empire, Evan immediately authorized the cabinet to wage a war of conquest.

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies, which had already sharpened its knives and was hungry and thirsty, immediately dispatched troops and sent troops totaling 200,000 troops, including armored divisions, artillery divisions, and infantry divisions, to the Mirren area. After just two days, the Conquerors faced little resistance and made their way to the Giant's Fortress for a decisive battle against the main forces of the Seals.

One by one, one by one

Boom Boom Boom β€”β€”!

Under the saturation bombardment of the Imperial Artillery Corps, the Giant Fortress built by the Seal Clan quickly collapsed. The roar of artillery fire and dust flooded the battlefield, and the disintegrating stones and dust formed a rushing waterfall that washed away the entire fortress.

The buildings crumbled under the powerful impact, and the six arrow towers embedded in the walls collapsed almost at the same time, making an oblique arc and falling into the sea of dust that filled the air everywhere. With a loud bang, a large cloud of gunpowder smoke was splashed, and the main city wall was reduced to rubble under the bombardment of artillery.

Oz stood on the steep peak on the right side of the battlefield in the uniform of the Knights of the Holy Crown, looking down on the devastating battle belowβ€”in order to ensure the victory of the battle, the Knights of the Holy Knights also sent a squadron to participate in the war to conquer the Seals: however, from the beginning of the battle to the present, he has not received any orders to participate in the battle, apparently because the enemy was defeated so quickly that the commander simply did not have time to use the Knights of the Sacred Knights.

"The Seal Clan that guards the Eastern Lands, but that's all there is to it. Behind Oz, one of his subordinates spread his hands and said with a look of contempt.

"It's not that they're too weak, it's that we're getting stronger. The other knight shook his head and said calmly.

"Captain Oz, look, their army has collapsed. If we don't get some credit, they'll surrender. The knight of the Holy Armor who had spoken earlier looked unusually restless, and stomped his feet with a look of impatience.

"I have been commanded to obey absolutely the command, and if you dare to disobey the order, I will kill you with my own hands. ”

Saying this, Oz glanced at the other party coldly, causing him to bow his head and shrink back. Then he continued to look down at the battlefield, his eyes burning with battle intent swept across the horizon, and at the end of his vision, the werewolf's skeletal battle banner was whimpering in the wind, representing another new force that was rapidly rushing to the battlefield.

......

After defeating the defenders of the fortress head-on, the Imperial army pursued ten kilometers forward, destroying all the defeated forces of the Seal Clan.

The moment they looked at the werewolf army from afar, the Imperial Army did not hesitate to take an offensive posture. The vast formation spread out by the 20th Army was like a carpet, covering the entire plain and cutting off the view from the view.

As far as the werewolf leader could see, all were steel chariots galloping with rumbling power, like a sea of steel undulating waves. The roar of the engine foreshadowed the seething battle spirit of the conqueror, and the sound of firm footsteps witnessed the high-pitched will of the imperial army. On the battlefield under the oppression of the army, the werewolf army seemed to be more and more sluggish, and the giant wolf under their crotch also drooped their ears and let out a timid wail.

"What kind of army is this. ”

In the face of the Imperial Army, which carried the power of great victory, the leader of the wolf clan was timid, and he could not imagine how his army could shake the battle line formed by the torrent of steel.

Since there is no chance of winning, then retreat.

If you want to curb the Menes' ambition to conquer the East, you must unite more tribes and gather more allies......! Let's hope they can buy themselves enough time!

Woo-woo-woo!

With the sound of a low and loud horn, the wolf army quickly turned around and withdrew like a tidal wave.

"What...... Got it...... Yes!"

At the same time, Oz received the commander's order, and in the process of receiving the order, a golden flame ignited in his eyes. The next moment, he leaped sharply, leaping down from the edge of the cliff, instantly turning into a golden meteor, chasing after the retreating wolf troops.

Immediately afterward, the holy knights under his jurisdiction jumped down, reflecting the blue sky, turning into golden meteors and running across.

One by one, one by one

The retreat of the wolf army was going on dreary and fast, and after retreating without a fight, almost every wolf warrior was in a state of distraction. Even the giant wolves beneath them were holding their tails as they retreated, as if they were afraid that the enemy would smell them.

β€œ......”

The leader of the wolf clan rode his mount and galloped forward in silence, unable to disperse the clouds that hung over his heart. The collapse of the Giant's Keep, the horror of the Menes army, it was as if invisible chains were wrapped around the leader's heart, and the feeling of suffocation penetrated the deepest part of his heart.

"Look!

"Golden Meteor! Golden Meteor is coming!"

"That's not a shooting star! That's Menes' Holy Knight!

Just as the leader was running wildly, the whole army suddenly became in a commotion, and since they were in a state of full speed retreat, many people did not even have time to respond to the order. As a result, some people continued to run wildly, and some people tried to stop preparing for the battle. As a result, two groups of people collided head-on, and thousands of werewolves hit their heads and bled out.

In the muffled sound of the head-on collision and the wailing of the wolf clan, dozens of golden meteors suddenly deflected. With a shriek that broke through the air, it crossed a shining arc and landed in front of the leader of the wolf clan at a gallop.

Bang bang bangβ€”β€”!

The ground was suddenly smashed out of large and small craters, and in these craters, a group of human warriors in exquisite armor leaped out and stopped directly in front of the leader of the wolf clan.

"You're the leader of the wolf clan!?"

Oz led a group of subordinates with a fearless face, but it was a team of a few dozen people, and in the face of tens of thousands of wolf troops, there was a kind of power of a large army pressing the border.

After a moment of silence, the leader of the wolf clan did not dare to draw his scimitar after all, and then raised his head, trying to make himself look more majestic:

"I am the Wolf King Jiji, Your Excellency is a member of the Holy Army, right?

"Of course I have something to tell you!"

When he was still twenty meters away from the wolf army, Oz stopped and looked at the wolf leader as if he were looking at a chicken waiting to be slaughtered:

"Fighting against the Empire will not end well, and the Chaldean Kingdom is an example! In front of the Empire's heroes, the army of the Seal Clan is vulnerable, and even if it relies on the Giant Fortress, there is no room for resistance. The wolf clan and the seal clan have always been at loggerheads, and it won't be much better when they meet the imperial army. Now I'm giving you a chance, a chance to become an Empire's ally!"
