"Father, our casualties are out."

Karim Ronin, the third adopted son of Charlie Ronin, Grand Duke of Ice and commander of the Second Legion of the Roninger Army, opened the military tent, and Charlie Ronin was looking at a map hanging in the middle of the military tent. Contrary to Karim's expectations, Charlie Ronin was not looking at the current area of engagement on the map, but at the farther east side of the Ankenrein Empire, where there were the Glacial Lines and the Great Eastern Ocean.

"Oh, how? Wen Feng's kid's soldiers have died a lot, right? ”

"According to approximate statistics, the casualties are around 8,000, and our side has 3,700 dead and less than 1,000 wounded."

"These are all good soldiers......"

Charlie Ronin sighed, his expression not showing much post-triumph joy. The commander of the 1st Regiment of the Roninger Army, Garner Mahersala, stood aside and saluted heavily.

"We are all soldiers of His Excellency the Grand Duke, born for the Grand Duke, and died for the Grand Duke!"

"I know what you mean, I just feel sorry for them, not on the banks of the glacier, but on the soil of their own country", Charlie Ronin's tone was full of pathos, "Pushing me to this point, driving Ankenrein to the brink of division, he Paul Gibson, must be judged and punished by the people!" ”

"That's natural, and I'm sure that in the near future, my father will be able to send Paul Gibson to the gallows with his own hands!"

Karim expressed his position positively, and then asked, "Father, now that we have won the first battle, please show me how to fight later." ”

"Keep fighting, and tomorrow there will be another clan-level battle! Force the other party out of Moonze! Charlie Ronin's thinking was obviously clear, "The First and Second Legions can't leave the glacial defense line for too long, and they must gain enough strategic depth before the end of the civil strife in the Alonte Empire before we can make the next plan, do you understand?" ”

"Understood!"

Karim Ronin and the Commander of the First Legion, Garneel Mahshalazi, nodded in unison and answered in a loud voice. Ronninger's tactics, Charlie Ronin had already made clear before the war, and now that all countries are solving the problem of the Wizard and the Mage Tower, they have no energy to expand externally. They Ronninger had to take advantage of this time difference to transfer the elite troops of the glacier defense line to the western front, take the eastern part of Milumia Province and Chang Province, and gain enough strategic depth. Then bring back the troops of the Glacier Line, let the recruits build fortifications in place, and wait for the Negru Republic to fight again in Tulucas, and then fight on both sides, completely kill Paul Gibson, and realize Charlie Ronin's revenge.

——————————

"I don't really understand, why are we losing?"

On the opposite side of Ronninger's army, Wenfeng Gibson, who had just lost his first battle of the legion, was meeting with his generals to discuss. Second Legion Commander Harris Jenkins and Third Legion Commander Tyrrell Rowland, along with other senior officers and operational staff officers, huddled in the tent to participate in the discussion.

"According to the soldiers at the front, the enemy on the opposite side was extremely determined when they lined up to be shot, and they did not look like recruits at all."

"The captives we captured said that they were not recruits, and that they had been stationed on the Glacier Defense Line before, and that they were the 2nd and 4th Divisions of the 1st Army."

"It can be preliminarily concluded that Charlie Ronin mobilized the army of the Glacier Defense Line, and those soldiers have been confronting the Alonte Empire for many years, and they are better than our recruits in terms of experience and will to fight."

The generals and staff officers chattered and quickly found the reason for the defeat of the battle. The grumpy Harris Jenkins even threw the folder in his hand directly.

"Charlie Ronin, he's treason! The glacial defense line is related to the strategic situation of the entire Anken Ruiyin in the east, how can it be easily abandoned! ”

"General Jenkins, Charlie Ronin has rebelled, and there doesn't seem wrong with saying that he is treasonous."

The commander of the Third Legion, Tyrell Roland, replied coldly and put forward his own opinion, "Our problem now is how to deal with the enemy on the opposite side. I think it is imperative to stand by and defend Munze, and if necessary, we can follow the example of the Neglo Republic and build an iron shield chest wall. ”

"The Iron Shield Chest Wall Defense Line is a good idea", although Wen Feng had never been in charge of troops before, he had done a lot of homework. Although the war between Ankenrein and the Negru Republic did not last long, he was clear about the advantages and disadvantages exposed by the two sides in the battle, "This kind of defense line cannot even be broken through by our artillery cavalry, and the enemy naturally has no way." Since Uncle Luo Ning has transferred all the troops of the Ice River Defense Line, then his rear must be empty, is there a chance here? ”

"Your Royal Highness, Ronninger's rear is the Great East, and the south side is the Alonte Empire, and we can't exert our influence. In this case, it is not good to incite the Alonte Empire to attack Roninger, after all, it is also our own territory. ”

"That's the same", Wen Feng thought about it, and decided to adopt Mahshala's opinion, "I've never fought a war, and my previous experience in the Seventh Division of the Guards Army was more about learning. Now I have the opportunity to become the deputy commander of the Central Military Region, and I depend on your military talents. In this matter, I personally think that the victory or defeat for a while is not important, and the most important thing in fighting a war should be to not let the other party get his wish. Since Uncle Ronin wants to use the elite of the glacial defense line to open up the situation in Moonze, we can't let him fight so smoothly, build a breastwall iron shield defense, press his elite on Moonze, and then let my warlike brother open the situation in the south, what do you think? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't care about temporary gains and losses, and we admire the overall situation", Jenkins, the commander of the Second Legion, was the first to stand up in favor, "And the three armies of the Guards led by the Sixth Prince, but the elite who fought the Negru War, they are on the side of Chang Province, and it will definitely be easier than us to open up the situation." ”

"What do you think?" , Prince Wenfeng is a gentle man, and seeing that his proposal was affirmed by Jenkins, he turned to ask others, and the other generals naturally had no different opinions. The battle during the day has already shown the strength of the enemy's will and combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and there is naturally nothing wrong with his own side shrinking behind the iron shield breastwall, practicing and training, and handing over the task of advancing to the Six Princes.

"Okay, then it's decided, I'll immediately repair a book and give it to the six emperor brothers for reference."

Wen Feng nodded slightly, even if he set the general tone of Mu Enze's defensive battle, and the letter he wrote and the matter of requesting the six princes to attack would naturally reach the ears of those who should hear it, and it should have an effect.

——————————————

"My brother lost the battle and wants me to help him save the game."

Elliot put the letter from Prince Wenfeng on the table, stood up and looked at the sand table in front of him. The province of the Three Guards was located near the south-central side of Ankenrein, and to the east was the province of Carangiote in Ronninger. According to the report of the previous scouts, the opponent opposite is Charlie Ronin's first adopted son, Walsh Ronin.

"Prince Wenfeng is not familiar with military affairs, and the decisions he makes are more from the political level. The Iron Shield Breastwork Defense Line is a sharp weapon against platoon gun tactics, even if it is our hand artillery cavalry, it is also very inconvenient to deal with. It was a safe idea for Moon to hold on to reinforcements, and it would be able to hold back the enemy's elite. The second prince made such a move, but the heavy task of breaking the situation was put on your side. ”

"Come on, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this kind of thing," Elliot was full of confidence, "The permanent garrison of the Glacier Line, that is, two legions, is in Luxe Province, and if the big brother Walsh opposite us has no soldiers in his hands." He guess he's having a headache right now, too. ”

"Walsh has never been a weapon of Ronin, but this time the Grand Duke of Glacier has left him alone in a province, but it is a little strange," Vincent Navre, chief of staff of the three guards, said to himself as he stood in front of the sand table, "but in any case, you have to fight to know." ”

"yes, didn't I let that little bastard of Gastens toss around Elena for so long, just for the current Glory Rifle? There are three whole divisions, either Elliott rifles or Glory rifles, with a range of exactly twice as many as the Type 27, what do we have to fear? ”

"That's natural, the superiority in weapons has already been proven in the Negru War, and tomorrow, as long as there are no problems with the morale of our commanders and soldiers, defeating Walsh should not be a big problem."

Vincent's judgment was reasonable, and Eliot knew it, so he nodded, and began to discuss the details of tomorrow's war with the old minister who had gained his trust after following him back from the battlefield of Negro, and in his plan, defeating Walsh with dignity would completely wash away his disgrace on Tulucasmon.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Prince Eliot expected. The next morning, when the 1st and 2nd Divisions of his 3rd Guards Army advanced to Carangliot and formed in front of the enemy's barracks, he encountered a very familiar matter.

It was a series of low breastwork, and a heavy iron shield more than a man tall erected on the breastwork. It was an iron shield line that Eliot had personally experienced, capable of resisting the onslaught of pistols.

"It was my negligence", standing on the command platform, watching his soldiers easily break through the enemy's gun line, but were blocked by the iron shield defense line, Elliot reflected on himself, "We know this kind of thing about the iron shield defense line, and Uncle Luo Ning naturally knows it." The second brother can use the iron shield defense line in Muenze, but no one stipulates that the opposite Walsh can't use it. ”

"This is indeed a problem", Vincent also frowned, "with the current method of warfare, if you want to break through the iron shield defense line, you must either take a detour or rush hard. If you take a detour, the south is the Alonte Empire, and the north is the defense area of the second prince, and you can't get through. ”

"Then you can only attack hard?" , Elliot gritted his teeth, "It's not cost-effective to attack hard, right?" This is an iron shield defense line, and if we attack hard, we won't be able to give full play to the range advantage of our Glory Rifle. ”

"There is no way to do this", Vincent's thinking was very clear, "how can there be immortals in war." We are now strong and strong, and on the other side is an unpopular non-main force, and even if the Iron Shield Breastwork is extremely strong, his soldiers under Walsh may not be so useful. We take the elite division and kill the enemy's recruit units, which has an advantage in morale and experience. ”

"So we should go hard?" , Elliot heard what Vincent meant.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince has lost the battle and has decided to hold on. On your side, it's not easy to explain to His Majesty the Emperor......"

"Okay", Elliot sighed softly, "just fight, the hard bones always have to be handed over to the best, right?" ”

——————————————

"My lord, the latest news from the spies on the other side, Ankenrey has broken out due to the outbreak of civil war, and Charlie Ronninger's troops have divided into two routes, all the way through Luxe Province, and advanced to Moonzer. The other is to hold on to the Karangliot border in case of a substitute fight. ”

Intelligence Officer Aidan Piro stood in front of Gukohain Foster, reporting on Ankenrein's latest eastward direction. As the commander of the 4th Division of the 77th Army of the Alonte Empire on the Glacier Defense Line, Gukohein Forster has thin cheeks, high cheekbones, and a thin person, not the kind of powerful general. But his eyes are always full of fighting spirit.

"Charlie Ronin, that old fox, that's the right thing to do, we don't dare to hit them now. The unit he took on the northern front must have been our old friend. I just don't know Jenkins and Roland, how many did he take. ”

"Commander, the order from the Army Headquarters is that no matter what happens on the other side, we must not trespass until the matter of the Mage Tower is clear."

Aidan Piro heard the faint battle intent in Gu Kehein's words, and reminded him sideways, "Now that His Majesty the Emperor is fighting for control with the Mage Tower, although you claim to be loyal to the country as a border guard, after all, we have to live under one of them, and it is not in our interests to start a war without permission." ”

"How do you know I'm going to fight?" Gurakos turned his head sideways, with a sly expression, "Did I say that?" You tell me, did I say I was going to fight? ”

"That's not ......"

Seeing that Gurakos began to play tricks again, Piro was a little helpless. He, a playmate from childhood to adulthood, has this kind of attitude every time he encounters this kind of taboo thing. According to his life experience, it is impossible to stop it.

"I'll just send a few people to the other side to have a look, it's always okay, right?"

Gurakos also knew that he couldn't hide his friend in front of him, "Besides, as long as I win the battle and recover the Scolt region that has been lost for 800 years on the other side, no matter who comes to power, they have to give me a face, right?" ”

Aidan Piro stopped talking, but looked directly at Gurakos and told him with his own eyes that this matter was very serious, and the stakes were too high to be taken lightly. But the gaze that Gurakos gave him in response was just as firm, even full of confidence that could overflow. The two looked at each other for a while, and Aidan Piro was defeated for the umpteenth time.

"Forget it, I'll listen to you", Aidan Piro picked up the long pole on the sand table and pointed to the blue river that meandered through the border between the two countries, "Say, how are you going to fight?" ”

Seeing that his friend had yielded, Gurakos laughed a few times and began to talk about his plans. Now he naturally does not know that in the history that Gastens experienced, he will finally kill Charlie Ronin with his own hands, recover the lost land of the Alonte Empire, and receive the title of Iron Edge. He just relied on his keen instincts to feel that he had found the most suitable time to bite the old man on the other side. However, neither he, who has never thought about the consequences, nor his cautious friend, will probably not realize what a magnificent picture this war that is about to be provoked by them will evolve.
