Chapter 214: The Capital of Constance

"It's just irritating her. War has been inevitable since the negotiations broke down, and I hope that she will lose her temper so that she can find an opportunity to capture her, so that the war without a leader can be carried out better, and even force Fluke to surrender outright. It's a pity that even if she is scolded, she is indifferent, and her heart is really good. Maybe I should have scolded her in a more insulting way. ”

Diluka looked at Richard and shook her head: "In my impression, Sister Freya has never been angry. She had heard many similar words in the long years of war. ”

Richard smiled: "It's time for me to look foreign." Don't dwell on this problem, go back to Tordheim at once, and a new war begins. ”

Freya was not lying, Fluke was not afraid of war, and Richard's army attacking from Grez met with stubborn resistance at the beginning, which also had something to do with Fluck's city branch. Fluk is the largest country in Yug Delsiru, and the cities are also the largest, this country has one capital, four large capitals, and dozens of small and medium-sized cities. The capital, Rai Kangor, is located in the center of the country, with a well-connected transportation network connecting various cities, with a large capital due north and due south, a large capital in the southeast of Fluk, close to the Divine Domain, and the last one on the northwest border of Fluk, next to the empty gorge connecting the two countries. The gap was now in Richard's hands, so as soon as Richard's Northern Front came out of the gap, it was met with stubborn resistance, and the capital Kongsberg, which had a tenth of the population of Fluk, Freya, who had fled from the meeting grounds, was now in command here, and when the war came, all the people here were soldiers, men, women and children took up all kinds of weapons to resist the invaders.

A day later, the Southern Front was much stronger than the North, and the Empty Gorge connecting Tordheim and Fluk was also a border, but there were no populous and difficult cities like Dadu, which were remote villages. The only thing that requires some effort is the Vismar Fortress in the Empty Gorge, which is also the most special, it is the only Empty Gorge with three fortresses in all of Yugdelsiru, and it is also the largest Empty Gorge in the area. Of the fortresses in the gap, only one belonged to Toddheim, and the other two were guarded and guarded by Fluk. In comparison, the Vismar Fortress, located in the middle of the three fortresses, is the strongest, with long and thick walls, steep terrain, and elite garrisons. The other North and South Visma Fortresses are more like forest strongholds. However, this was not difficult for Zonoz, who had been studying how to conquer the fortress since the capture of Toddheim, and the ravines were flat to him, and one of his plans even used the Faceless's strength to fill the road with sand and stones. For the Southern Front, as long as they conquer two empty gorges, there is an endless plain in front of them, but they only need to decide whether to attack Trondheim in the south or attack the capital in the center according to the battle situation.

Richard in the north, even if he conquered most of the capital, the road ahead was hilly. On the good news, Yorum joined Richard's troops after agreeing with Richard to play a painful game at a certain time. Richard immediately used her in the siege team, and Yorum, who could shield herself from pain or rely on it to strengthen herself, showed a huge advantage in the siege of the city, and she successfully climbed the city wall several times, not only attracting a lot of firepower, but also maintaining the morale of the troops because of the constant desire to attack.

It's just that the final fall of Fort Constance has nothing to do with these soldiers in the depths of the front line. After attacking for more than a day, he failed to take the city gate, and the losses were huge. At this point, Ain's siege forces arrived on the battlefield, and Richard immediately threw them into battle. Speaking of Ain, because Ligredo went to conduct scientific research, the siege artillery was under the command of Ain alone, and Zonorz also took the initiative to transport the artillery assigned to him to support the attack here. The artillerymen bombarded for a whole day, and most of the city of Constance disappeared. Deprived of the protection of the barriers, the soldiers and citizens either chose to fight or evacuate, while most chose the former, and Yorum and several legions fought in the streets among the ruins, shouts of killing echoed throughout the city, and until the fall of the city, Richard could faintly hear the roar of battle still wafting through the city.

The capital of Constance held out for a week and a half, but eventually fell, and Freya fought until the last minute before withdrawing from the battlefield. For the first time, Richard did not spend the night in the conquered city, not only Richard, but also none of the soldiers. The metropolis of Constance is now a veritable dead city, where there is not a single living being, there are crumbling walls everywhere, and there are crumbling wreckage everywhere. The people here fought until the last moment of their lives, and every single one of them. After the smoke passed, the wind blew, and countless resentful spirits were crying. Eventually, the city was burned to the ground by Richard. For the first time, Richard was worried about the prospect of war, and if this was the case for everyone everywhere, then Fluk's strategy would be extremely difficult.

"Is the battle going well in the south?"

Sitting in front of the crackling fire, Richard asked Primatis, who was sitting next to him burning information.

Primatis threw all the information he didn't need in it, looked up and replied, "So far it has been going well, and the fortresses on the two empty gorges have not stopped them. Zonoz still used the tactic of filling the pit, and Diluka's Pegasus Army attacked from the air, and Zonoz led the Faceless Man to carry the attack to create an artificial hillside, and the soldiers climbed the wall along the hillside. The Southern Front is now operating in the plains southwest of Fluk, having learned our lesson, they did not attack the big cities, they made a gesture of attacking the capital, forcing the soldiers of some of the cities to go out of the city to fight, on the plains, Fluk's army was not so combat-ready. It's just that most of the troops now choose to stick to the city, and the troops in the southern capital are still constantly sneaking up on the supply roads of the front, and the southern front will not make any big moves until the rear problem is resolved. ”

"Where's Freya?"

Primatis shook his head: "No trace of her has been found yet. ”

Richard's brows were furrowed, Freya's beauty and posture would attract attention whenever she appeared on the battlefield, but neither the northern nor the southern battlefields found her. After the battle of Kongsberg, Freya disappeared, and Richard did not know why Freya had not been able to qualify because the country had been invaded by foreign enemies and the situation was urgent.
