"Your Majesty, the navy of Loren Robles has attacked Surika, the largest trading port to the east of us. They routed the Coast Guard, sent thousands of soldiers ashore to plunder, and Surika suffered heavy losses. ”

In the towering palace of Moss Roenin, the capital of the Alonte Empire, the Imperial Chancellor Frank Malone was reporting to the Emperor on the latest situation, "The attack is launched by Loren Robus's Sixth Fleet, and the commander of the fleet is Michael Fischer—"

"I don't care what his name is!" Emperor Fudia Carney interrupted Frank Malone, "I just want to know, what the hell are those water ghosts trying to do?" ”

"Your Majesty," explained Generalissimo Andrei Goldberg, "I can assure you that the Imperial Army has never launched any kind of provocation or attack against the forces of Loren Robus. ”

"I know, after all, not everyone is that little bastard of Gukohain", Emperor Carney leaned back, allowing himself to sit more comfortably, "What about their envoys here?" Any news? ”

"I have asked, and Ambassador Ian Perry of Lorren Robles said that he has not received any information about this, so he cannot reply to us for the time being."

"Hey......," Fudia Carney sighed softly. Like Paul Gibson to the north, Fudia Carney hasn't had a rough time lately. Archmage Parker Ravibond fled the Solid Mountain Mage Tower and fled to the southern region of the Empire, which supported the Magister, as soon as the announcement of the sanction of the Mage Tower reached Mosronin. Within a few days, the mercenaries stood on their own, and they almost raised their banners to rebel. Now the Imperial army is fighting with Ravi Bond's army in the south of the empire, and the little bastard of Gukohain has opened up the battlefield of Roninger in the north, although the battle is going well, but the empire is fighting on two fronts, and the situation is not good. If it weren't for the fact that Gukohain's cousin was his concubine, Fudia Carney would have wanted to dismiss him from his post and deal with him by military justice when he heard that he had rashly launched a war against Ronninger. Considering these factors, Fu Diya Carney felt that he was miserable enough, but he didn't expect that Loren Robus, who was far away in the extreme west of the mainland, would come and intervene again. Although the Alonte Empire always boasts of being the number one power in the continent, but at the same time, it fights on three fronts, and there is a navy that they are not familiar with, and Fu Diya Carney always feels unsure.

"Your Majesty need not worry," said Generalissimo Andrei Goldberg again, "the navy of Loren Robles poses little threat to us, and the nature of the navy dictates that they can only harass and cannot achieve permanent occupation. As long as more clippers were sent to step up patrols and guards were prepared outside a few important ports, Loren Robles' navy would have limited impact on us. The problem now is that the progress in the north is more than expected, and our troops are somewhat unable to keep up. The battlefield on the southern front has reached a stalemate again, and the situation cannot be opened. The Empire's main food producing areas are all in the south, and if we don't reclaim the provinces of Spring, Ottem, and Wende, we may also have a food crisis similar to Anken Rein. ”

"Isn't it better to focus on the southern route?" Prime Minister Frank Malone chimed in, "Gukohain in the north is doing well, but now that Loren Robles is also making trouble, it is difficult for us to support him to go too deep." It is better to let him stop in moderation and focus on clearing out the Ravibond rebels and stabilizing the situation in the country. ”

"It's a pity for my Scolt", Fudia Carney is still a little sullen. It has been hundreds of years since the Alang Empire lost the Skolt region, and successive emperors had plans to regain it. However, the magisters didn't have this idea, and the Ronin family couldn't drain the water to defend the glacier line, so this place has always been occupied by Ankenrein. Now that the kid from Gukohain has finally opened up the situation, but has to give up because of other factors, whoever is there will be some relatives.

"Your Majesty, we have crossed the glacial defense line, this is the most difficult level", Andrei Goldberg was more optimistic than the emperor, "as long as we control the north bank of the glacier, when to launch an attack, and to what extent, we have the final say." And Charlie Ronin has now raised the flag to rebel, Anken Rein is no better than us, and he can only use the strength to defend the Glacier defense line than before. If Your Majesty wants Scolt, when the civil strife is quelled, we will take it back. ”

"Okay, okay, whatever you want", Fudia Carney waved his hand, giving up the struggle, "Tell Gukohain to stop moving forward and consolidate the existing territory!" ”

————————————

"My lord, the Alonte Empire has stopped attacking."

Ronninger Chief, Hutcherson Everdorff stood in front of Charlie Ronin and said with joy, "The Glacier Line is temporarily stable, and we can concentrate on fighting on the Western Front." ”

"Stability is stability, but at the cost of 30 years of co-use rights in Port I-Piabi, historians are going to scold me for betraying the country again", Charlie Ronin is not as happy as he seems, but he is a qualified leader and will not let this sentiment affect him for long.

"What about Karim's side, he said that he would take down Moon in a week, how is it going?"

"Attacking", Speaking of Karim, Efdorf's tone was more serious, "Moon Ze does not have a shortcut to attack around the rear like Changfeng Mountain, and the only way to break through the iron shield defense line is to attack. Karim's reliance is on the elite of our First Legion and Second Legion, and in terms of soldier quality and combat effectiveness, it is much higher than that of Prince Wenfeng on the other side. With the elite against the recruits, the same iron shield defense line, he felt that he could take it down. ”

"The Iron Shield is not a hard bone to gnaw on," Charlie Ronin said astonishingly, "only against steam rifles, but not from hand-to-hand combat." The current steam rifle, with a range of 100 meters, can fire at most three shots, and it will be hand-to-hand. How many people can die with three shots? If everyone doesn't fight, either they have their own ghosts, or they are worried about casualties, and there will be no other factors. ”

"However, the First Legion and the Second Legion were the elites you personally brought out, and they died in the Iron Shield Line......

"They're meant to die," Charlie Ronin raised his eyelids and looked at his steward, "Karim can think of this, albeit late, but it's still qualified." Ci is not in charge, my Efdorf, you are still too soft-hearted. ”

"That's what you said."

Everdorf bowed, "Do you have any other commands?" ”

"You go, I'll rest for a while, when Karim takes down Moonze, when will he come to me."

"Whoa."

Hutcherson Everdorf walked backwards out of Charlie Roning's study. He stood outside the study and breathed a sigh of relief, adjusting the nerves that had been tensed by the old man's aura before pacing away. As the person in charge of Ronninger's internal affairs, he still has a lot to do, and he can't devote all his energy to the military. Moon Enze's victory in the offensive and defensive battle, he can't help Karim too much, he can only hope that he will fight for himself.

——————————————

"Karim, is he crazy?!"

Standing on the high command platform, Wenfeng Gibson looked at the battle that was still going on in front of him, and was filled with anger, "It's been a whole morning, we have all filled in three divisions, why doesn't he stop?" ”

"It seems that they are determined to break through us", Barry McCartney, commander of the Central Military Region, was very respectful in front of his deputy commander, "The Alonte Empire broke through the glacial defense line, and Ronninger caught fire in the backyard, these people are all the elite of the ice defense line, since they are not transferred back, they must be planning to make up for it from us......"

"Make up from us? Can he? Wen Feng's tone was a little uncertain, "This iron shield defense line was invented by the Neglo Republic, and even the hand cannon cavalry can block it, but it can't stop them?" ”

Although the content of his speech was a rhetorical question, Wen Feng's tone did not have much confidence in it. In order to defend Moonze, during this time, he made his recruits completely turn into sappers, and built an iron shield defense line of more than 30 kilometers and three layers inside and outside around the east side of Moonze. I thought I could sit back and relax, but I didn't expect that as soon as the other party worked hard, it seemed that I couldn't resist it.

"The Iron Shield line is not omnipotent, it can only defend against steam rifles, and cannot prevent the opponent from rushing up in hand-to-hand combat. Now the other side is betting on our recruits, and they can't stop their veterans. ”

Barry McCartney sees the situation clearly, "And, unfortunately, our recruits, at the moment, are really having a hard time keeping the balance of power with each other. The ratio of casualties on both sides is too great. ”

Hearing Barry McCartney's words, Wen Feng was silent. He thought for a moment and asked a new question.

"Although the central theater is full of newcomers, it is better than the number of people. Even if the casualty ratio of the two sides is three to one or even four to one, we should be able to fight with six legions and two of them, right? ”

"It depends on whether we can develop a formation, and we will definitely win in the plains. In a place like Moonze, where we rely on a chest wall and an iron shield defense, it is not very likely that we will lose. ”

Barry McCartney honestly explained to His Royal Highness, "The only thing I am worried about now is that there are too many casualties and it is difficult to explain." ”

"That's okay, most of these soldiers are serfs and desperate people, and if they die, they will die, and they can save some food."

When Wen Feng said this, he didn't shy away from others. What he said is also the truth, the people who have connections have gone to become officers, and those who have gone to serve as soldiers are indeed serfs and shabby households.

"That's what you said."

Barry McCartney didn't refute, he fell silent and began to look at the situation on the battle line in the distance with Wen Feng.

————————————

"So you're just back?"

The Sixth Prince, Elliot, looked at Pal Cross kneeling in front of him, and the anger on his face was obvious, "Do you know that my father knew this news earlier than I knew!" When he sent someone to ask me, I didn't even know that you had fought a battle with Gastens and lost! ”

"The sin of the minister deserves death."

Pal Cross fell to his knees, his forehead pressed against the ground, his voice trembling and fearful. He was delayed on the road for two days for fear of punishment, and even wanted to leave at one point. But he didn't expect the emperor to know the news first, and now, he made more mistakes than mistakes, and it is estimated that this life is over.

"you!" , Elliot has been exploding more and more frequently recently, "My father asked me about the battle, and I just want to know, you can tell me now, word by word, minute by minute, how that kid from Gastens defeated the two thousand I gave you with two hundred men!" ”

Pal Cross apologized again and began to tell. In order to alleviate his guilt, he focused on describing Gastens' prohibition of him from entering Elena, and said that the arrogant attitude of no one except the Six Princes himself was hidden, but he concealed the fault of finding someone to attack Elena first, and directly led his troops to attack him if he disagreed. At the same time, he also focused on the kind of devilish weapon that Gastens used to defend the Plains of Elena, claiming that it could destroy a regiment of soldiers in minutes. Elliot did not interrupt him the whole time of his narration, and only when he finished speaking did he coldly throw him a piece of paper.

"Look at the letter."

Pal Cross picked up the piece of paper, and as soon as he looked at it twice, his skull exploded. It turned out to be a letter from Gastens to His Royal Highness!

Pal Klose stopped talking, but began to kowtow a little, smashing the ground of the tent with his own head. Prince Eliot just looked at him, watched him bleed his head, watched him stain the ground red, and stopped him.

"Now, you repeat, how did you and Gastens get into fighting?"

I didn't expect Gastens to be able to sue Pal Crozier first, and now he is finally honest. He told everything in one hundred and fifty ten, and at the same time confessed his desire to control the good place of Elena. Elliot listened to him, thought for a while, and decided his fate.

"Elena's weapon production is an ATM, and many people can't look at it. I think that Stinky Boy of Gastens occupies the most profitable property in my name. You're just as much as they want, and that's normal......"

Pal Klose stopped kowtowing and fell to his knees, motionless.

“…… But if you want to want, you not only didn't want to succeed, but you also forced him to reverse, and that's your problem. It's your fault that you have that ambition but don't have the strength to match it, and I'm turning against my right-hand man now. And people, if they make mistakes, they have to take responsibility. ”

"But Your Majesty!" When Pal Klose heard this, he began to speak with some grievances, "But Your Majesty, Gastens is a naked communist who carried out land reform, eliminated serfs and eliminated the landlord class in his territory." He wanted to rebel, but I went, but I just gave him an excuse! ”

"Do you still need to say this?!" , the anger in Elliot's words was even greater, "He tossed that little thing himself, I knew it from the beginning!" But this kid is talented, and he can hold back a lot of things, I originally thought that I would wait until I got Ronninger and then go back to this kid, but it turned out that you were good, and sent you over to take a look, and you actually forced him to reverse! Look at what he wrote in his letter? 'I dare not forget the grace of promotion, but everyone has their own ambitions and different paths, and they have parted ways with His Highness since then', ah? You pushed him back, where do you let me find the Glory Rifle?! ”

"But, Your Highness, that new weapon ......"

"The new weapon?" Elliot picked up the cup next to him and threw it on the ground beside Pal Cross, "Gastens said in the letter that the new weapon was originally intended to be sold to us. Now it's good that he wants to increase the price and limit the supply! It's not you, or is it who? ”

But when I went, didn't you say that?

Klose felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to argue anymore, just lowered his head and listened to the fate.

"You have been with me for so long, there is no credit, there is hard work, and I don't want to be too thin on you", Elliot's voice seemed to calm down, "Your family, I will take good care of it." ”

Hearing this, Klose suddenly realized something, and he jerked up and reached out his hand towards Elliot, as if trying to grab something. The guards who had been waiting on either side of him held him down and led him away from the tent.

"Chop off your head and send it to Gastens with the letter", Elliot ordered. But soon, he changed his mind again.

"Forget it, cut off the head and save it, and in two days, I'll go to Elena in person."
