Chapter 325: Names and Shadows
Yves Saint Laurent, Royal Palace.
It was once the glory of the dynasty, but now it is occupied by the despicable.
The Elite Division of the Third Mage of the Kingdom Army was stationed here, they were once the vanguard of the invasion of the Holy Dynasty, and after a series of battles, they lost a large number of high-level forces and were reduced to a third-line army, so they were assigned to garrison the city of Saint Laurent.
If nothing else.
It is likely that they will be transferred back to the kingdom for regrouping after the situation in the east stabilizes, so in the last month, the entire army has lived quite comfortably, except for doing something unreasonable, that is, eating and sleeping.
But this is no longer the case.
According to the latest battle reports, a new enemy has appeared in the rear of the dynasty, and this enemy seems to have a fairly large force, and actually captured the city of Shenghui overnight.
Ali Thorde was the commander of the division.
At the age of 40, he is in the rising period of his career, although he has earned enough military merits in this war of aggression, and it is inevitable that he will be promoted to the third level when he is transferred back to China, but he is not satisfied with this.
He sincerely hoped to serve as the vanguard once again and go south to pursue the remnants of the dynasty.
Unfortunately, his brave and sophisticated tactics had almost outnumbered his troops, so the commander-in-chief rejected his request and left him to Saint Laurent as a defender, quietly waiting for the war to end.
But he saw an opportunity.
According to the latest information collected, the enemy's strength is about 20,000 people, and these more than 20,000 people captured Shenghui City in just 5 hours, and the combat effectiveness is quite terrifying.
With such terrifying combat power and numbers, it would be difficult for him to defeat the other side with his current strength.
Although Arri Thord was eager for military merit, he was still able to maintain his sanity and did not blindly attack the city of Radiance.
In fact.
As long as he ensured that Yves Saint Laurent and satellite cities would not continue to be captured by enemy troops, then he would be able to obtain a sufficient amount of military merit, and for him, there was no such good thing in this world.
Because ah.
With only 20,000 men on guard, no one would have taken Saint Laurent or any of its satellite cities.
The reason why Shenghui City fell was only because the enemy army took it by surprise.
Arry Saud was very confident in his own reasoning, so he was fortunate to have the mercy of the heavens, and this time he only needed to protect Saint Laurent in peace, and by the way, he could lie down and earn military merits by supporting the surrounding satellite cities.
Report. ”
In the middle of his thoughts, the herald walked into his office and reported: "Commander, the latest battle report from the front, 20,000 troops have poured out of Shenghui City, heading in the direction of Twilight City, and at the current speed, troops will be under the city in 24 hours." ”
"That's right. ”
Arry Sood muttered to himself.
Whether it is 20,000 troops or Twilight, which is targeted by the enemy, it is all in his calculations.
After all, the persimmon is soft, and the enemy's wishful thinking is probably the same as they once were, capturing satellite cities and surrounding Saint Laurent until they run out of ammunition and food.
"It's time for you to see the strength of Yves Saint Laurent's defenses. ”
Alex Sood muttered to himself, "It's ridiculous to say, you have built a defense system for thousands of years, but in the end it is you who are used against yourself, should I feel sorry for you, or should I be happy for myself?"
After muttering to himself.
Alex Thord prepares to send troops to support Twilight.
Because Yves Saint Laurent, as the center of the defense system and the city with the fastest support, should arrive within 24 hours of receiving the attack on the satellite city, while the other satellite cities only need to arrive within 48 hours due to their distance.
But at this moment, a staff officer stepped forward to suggest.
He looked at the map and said with some concern: "General, is it too risky for the main force to leave Saint Laurent to support Twilight, and if the enemy's other troops take advantage of the absence of our main force in the city, what should we do to attack Saint Laurent?"
"This ......"
Arri Sood frowned and said, "The enemy army probably doesn't have any extra troops, even if the troops are recruited on the spot, it won't be possible for the recruits to form any combat effectiveness in a few months." ”
Judging from the battle situation and known intelligence, the enemy army only had 20,000 soldiers killed, and now they naturally had no extra troops to attack their Saint Laurent City. And if he doesn't send troops to reinforce Twilight City, then Twilight City may be lost, after all, judging from the time of the fall of Shenghui City, the enemy's combat effectiveness is quite terrifying.
"General, I'm afraid of what happens. ”
The staff officer again advised that, although he also knew that the enemy army did not have a surplus of troops, as a staff officer he was obliged to take into account all possible scenarios.
"Then send a brigade to reinforce it. ”
Alex Sord thought about it for a while, and decided to send a brigade to Twilight, first, to do his best to provide support, and second, to send reinforcements from one more brigade to other satellite cities.
According to common sense.
If you want to capture a city guarded by 10,000 people, you can't do it without 3 times the number of troops.
Now Twilight's garrison is 6,000, plus his reinforcement of 5,000, which is enough for Twilight to hold out until 48 hours when reinforcements from other satellite cities arrive.
Moreover, sending a brigade with an absence would not be harmful to the defense of Saint Laurent.
When the time comes, if the enemy army really takes the opportunity to sneak attack, he can also drag reinforcements from other satellite cities to arrive and surround the enemy here.
But just as he was giving the order, a herald walked in.
Report. ”
The herald panted and said: "The commander of the Twilight garrison has asked our army for help, please send troops to support as soon as possible, if you go to Twilight City too late, I am afraid that it will not be safe, and the commander of the enemy army is a 'war devil'." ”
"What?!"
The last sentence startled Arrie Thorder.
The kingdom's war threat list is not something anyone can get on if they want to, Vega, as the fifth-ranked terrifying existence, not only makes them the likes of brigadier generals jealous, even the kingdom's generals will treat it with 100% strength.
Even if Arie Soud is conceited.
He thought that there was still a gap between himself and Vega, the war devil who was fifth on the war threat list, and after hearing the news, he finally understood why Radiant City had fallen in 5 hours.
All of this is probably the work of the devil.
At this moment, Alex Thord and the commander of Twilight are feeling more pressure than ever.
If this devil is allowed to take satellite cities one after another, then Arriel Thorde does not dare to guarantee whether Yves Saint Laurent will be able to hold out until the main force of his port city arrives.
"Command. ”
Ali Thord didn't care about anything else, he immediately ordered: "The 2nd and 3rd regiments stay behind, and the other troops follow me to support Twilight City, we have lost Shenghui City, and this second satellite city must not be lost." ”
Whether it's out of an obligation to support, or out of fear of Vega.
In the end, Alex Thord chose to send troops to support Twilight, after all, the shadow of the famous tree, the army commanded by Vega, he did not dare to underestimate it in any way, and it must not be enough to send a brigade to support.
Alex Sood has decided.
He was to be 100% vigilant and hold all Vega's forces outside the Twilight gates, waiting for reinforcements from the main forces of the port city.
