Chapter 615: Target: Empire!
This is the fourth war fought by the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
The first time was against the kingdom, and the second, third, and fourth times was against Vega.
The first time he won a complete victory, which greatly increased the morale of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and it was even more shocking to destroy a big country in three months, but the next three wars were severely damaged, not only did not win a single victory, but also directly lost half of the country's troops.
After this battle.
The vitality of the Holy Dragon Kingdom was greatly damaged, and a spell was cast, and this spell was the Holy Dynasty.
Now, that banner with a white background and a gold crown has become a nightmare for the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
The 110,000 Earth Dragons who escaped from the Angelos Forest were like a ghost, and the Legion Commander Lyerch did not reorganize the battle, and completely ignored the agreement with the Empire, but returned with the army the same way.
Kraft was shocked to receive this message.
He never imagined that such a change would occur in a war that was nine out of ten.
Obviously, the Dynasty Army has been fighting with him in the past few days, why the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom was ambushed in the Angelos Forest, this is something that Kraft Dalberg couldn't understand.
If that's all there is to it.
As the saying goes, when he received the Holy Dragon Army's return the same way despite the agreement, an army of about 300,000 people was marching in the direction of the War City.
Their banners are staves and swords.
The power represented by this banner is self-evident, it is the latest rising power in the East - the Jialan Empire.
It's also self-evident why that army came here, for their emperor was none other than Vega Saint Laurent.
Other words.
Now the city of war has 500,000 Vega Dynasty troops on the front and 300,000 Jialan troops on the back, and they ...... surrounded.
"Damn the Holy Dragon Kingdom!"
Kraftin gritted his teeth: "I knew that these people were not credible, they still had 110,000 combat strength, but they directly returned the same way regardless of morality, these damn aliens." ”
Scolding and scolding, you still have to think of a way.
Kraft first sent a letter to the Imperial Military Department asking for help, saying that as long as the reinforcements could arrive before the fall of the War City, they would still be saved.
So how long does this time take?
It takes at least a week from the sending of the letter asking for help, to organizing the army, to the arrival of reinforcements.
Of course, a week here refers to the transportation of troops by air routes, with the threat of Star Mages and Dynasty, Jialan Imperial Aviation Legion, obviously not by air, so they can only be transported by land.
If you go by road, you will have to delay it by 10 days.
In other words, Kraft Dalberg needed to hold out in the City of War for seventeen before he could wait for reinforcements.
Will he be able to hold out for seventeen days?
This is confident that Kafin still has it, his title is unbreakable, and what he is best at is fighting defensive battles and blocking battles, even if the Vega side has a war weapon star position mage, he still has this confidence.
Even if the city gate is lost, he can still fight Vega in the streets.
He was the second Imperial officer after Kremans to understand the theory of street warfare in Vega, and he knew very well that street warfare and guerrilla warfare were not the founder of the game. Street fighting and guerrilla warfare really need to rely on familiarity with the terrain and the support of the civilian population, and this is not anywhere else, this is the city of war!
The army of the city of war believes in war.
The civilians of War City believe in war as well.
In a city where all the people are soldiers, guerrilla warfare and street fighting are like a duck in water, and as an expert in defensive warfare, Kraft is especially confident in the war that follows.
"I have to thank Eskar for that. ”
Kraft muttered to himself, "After all, it was he who regained the confidence of the Imperial Army, and it was he who united the entire city to form the current situation where all the people are soldiers, paving the way for my next war." ”
But the moment he thought of Eskar, he recalled that look of pity.
Why have mercy on him?
Could it be that Escal had already foreseen the inevitable defeat of this war?
"What are you kidding, you can't help but think highly of this little ghost. ”
Kraft did not suspect that Eskar's secret whistleblowing led to the defeat of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, because as a high-ranking officer of the Empire, Eskar must still have basic professional ethics.
As for why the Holy Dragon Kingdom was ambushed.
This point is considered by everyone to be Vega's anticipation of the enemy's opportunity, because Vega's sense of war has always been terrifying, and he seems to have the ability to foresee the future in most wars, and can always anticipate the enemy's opportunity and be one step ahead.
"Mobilize the whole city and tell them that the war is about to begin. ”
Kraft put this behind him, and then began to gather the hearts of the people, preparing for a tug-of-war with Vega.
With a million-strong army, the support of civilians, and his familiarity with the city's topography, he was confident that if it went well, he would be able to hold out for at least two months, making it impossible for Vega to break through the walls.
Kraftin's decision looked foolproof.
If he faced an ordinary enemy, he would not only be able to defend the city of war, but even turn defeat into victory.
It's a pity that his opponent is Vega.
The existence that likes to play with people's hearts the most, how can he not know the importance of geography and people.
The sages of the earth once told Vega that the way to use military force is to attack the heart and attack the city, and the heart is the top and the army is the bottom. At this time, the enemy had an army of one million, and the army of him and the Jialan Empire combined was only 800,000, so even if there was a weapon of war such as a star mage, Vega could not take the way of military warfare.
Because psychological warfare is more effective and more convenient.
Now Vega has evidence of the alliance between the Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom in his hands, and the recorded images and the testimonies of the captives cannot be denied, especially the faces of the soldiers of the Holy Dragon Kingdom have prominent features, which cannot be faked in any way.
The nations of the world regard the Holy Dragon Kingdom as a public enemy of the continent.
The civilians of the Empire gritted their teeth at the existence of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
If the former knew that the empire had colluded with the Holy Dragon Kingdom to destroy Vega, then it would be more important to raise a crusade and to isolate the empire, especially the empire's establishment of diplomatic relations and layout in the west of the Jialan Mountains, which would definitely be in vain.
The latter is more serious than the former.
Since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world, and losing the hearts of the people means social turmoil and the morale of the army is unstable.
When civilians know what kind of sparks will come out of their government's alliance with their own enemies, I am afraid that the army will be directly confused, and begin to wonder what it is fighting for.
Wait until public opinion ferments to a certain peak.
Then the entire city of war, from civilians to soldiers, will not be able to fight at all, and even if Kraften has a perfect plan, it will be in vain in an instant.
It's not just a city of war.
At that time, the entire empire will be questioned from within and outside the country, and it will cause unrest.
Taking War City is just the beginning.
This time the target of Vega is - the Empire!
