Chapter 1551: Summer Offensive
The night is bright and the stars are sparse, and the spring breeze is slight.
After dinner, Di Lanxue and his party didn't even have time to rest for one night, and rushed back in the starry night, after all, everyone was the leader of a faction, and they were burdened with too many responsibilities.
Regarding the follow-up treatment of the Black Flame Order, Downton gave in, also to avoid consuming too much energy, and the final decision was that except for Frankfurt, who was not allowed to exist in its forces, the remaining areas were handed over to the Holy Lily with full control, but Downton had to take 20% of the annual income, and the information was shared.
Shengbai contracted, and even took the initiative to increase the score to three, I don't know what to think again.
Because Nefarian's body was blasted into dust, there is no direct evidence, and his true face is very mysterious, so many people don't believe that the Black Flame Pope is dead, especially those diehards, who swear to resist to the death, but without the leader, their rebellion can't turn it around.
Nicole said that she would not deal with these miscellaneous fish anymore, and ran to the northern front with her soldiers to fight Ancelotti.
Downton thought that these guys had lost the Demon King's favorite princess, Adjani, and would fight back with all their might to try to rescue them, but they died down.
After Ancelotti retreated with the remnants of his legion to the area of the Kuye Mountains, he relied on the terrain to establish a defensive line.
There are too many demons, and there is a steady stream of coming out of the portal, and Downton has the confidence and hole cards to kill them, but what happens after that?
The Holy War has just begun, and the situation in the various theaters is still unclear, and Downton will come up with a dead fight, and it will attract more evil god troops.
"At least don't kill the people of Frankfurt. ”
As the king of a country, how could Downton not have any selfish intentions? So he postponed the offensive, seized the time to recruit troops, train, and at the same time frantically hoarded supplies.
Domestically, the fire-rich soil of the western frontier is for other crops. It's a barren land, but the volcanic coffee that Downton brought back from the lava realm can thrive, and its unique mellow taste can increase energy and replenish magical energy, making it quickly popular in high society. It became an indispensable drink on the table of the aristocracy.
The bumper harvest year after year, so that the farmers have made a lot of money, Downton's tax money has also been soft, volcanic coffee, has become one of Frankfurt's fist products, but this year, Downton issued a strict order, all planting volcanic oats, there are those who dare to grow coffee privately. The whole family is in the army.
The holy war does not know how many years it will be fought, so Downton needs a lot of food, after all, if there is food, the country will not be too turbulent.
Abroad, Downton began the road of dictatorship~dictatorship, and under the pretext of the threat of the demon army, he began to concentrate on training the reserves.
Everyone knows that Frankfurt's officers are the most qualified. But no one knows, once the soldiers on the front line are dead. These reserves will become Downton's most powerful supporters.
For a while, the nobles were panicked, and they asked for help from the suzerainty to which they were allegiated, but in the holy war, no one sent extra legions to suppress the formation. The envoys who accompanied him brought with them a harshly worded letter of condemnation from the king, but he did not even see Downton in person.
Downton has become an unshakable behemoth, he is not famous for Heinrich who cherishes feathers more, he just wants more people to live.
The title of dictatorship ~ dictatorship, dictatorship ~ government, tyrant. It began to be spread by those nobles with ill intentions.
Downton didn't care, he toured the country and actively prepared for war, especially in order to speed up the speed of Krupp's military industry, he and Lombardy, Brittana, Twilight, and Yves Saint Laurent launched military industrial cooperation, and recruited a large number of top engineers, blacksmiths, and magic masters......
The explosion of talent has also greatly accelerated the progress of Downton's various experimental weapons.
In the midst of this inducing hustle and bustle, summer has arrived.
Ancelotti's army of Doom was defeated, and Princess Adjani was condemned by the Demon King, who then sent Ranieri to the position of supreme commander.
The arrival of this old marshal, the first order, was to launch a summer offensive, and the northerners could no longer be allowed to prepare for war so leisurely.
Nicole stood in the way and had a lot of fun fighting with the other party, she followed Downton's instructions and did not let the death totem fight, but mixed with the Northern Coalition legions, so that they could get used to fighting demons as soon as possible.
This is training troops with actual combat, and as for the unlucky ones who died, Downton can only mourn in silence.
In the other fronts, the fighting has also begun to calm down, and there is no way, after several months of fierce attacks without much success, the Evil God Army also needs to rest.
Small-scale operations are normalized.
Since the beginning of the Holy War, arms sales in the Downton Hills Free Trade Zone have risen to a new level, probably sensing the arrival of the crisis, and those natives do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy weapons and equipment.
Of course, Downton didn't mind making a windfall, in his opinion, this was a war destined to affect the whole continent, and the Dragon Hills would be involved sooner or later, rather than arming the natives himself, it was better to sell a wave of weapons first.
All kinds of daily goods are also the main deal, but other things are not sold, and even the favorite drinks of the natives are not cared for.
During the war years, food and arms were always the most cost-effective goods.
In the study, it was busy.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the report sent by Abagon, Downton frowned, and this month's transaction volume reached the lowest point in the past few years.
"There are two reasons, first, the wealth accumulated by the natives over the years is about to be squeezed out by us, and second, those natives who were originally opposed to the free trade zone began to spread rumors and agitate everywhere, saying that we will steal their wealth again, so we will use knives and guns to snatch it back!"
Abagon explained.
There are so many indigenous tribes that inhabit the Dragon Hills that it is impossible to be monolithic, and some of them are anti-Frankfurter from beginning to end.
The natives who bought arms from the tribes that were engaged in second-hand traders, or who simply killed people and sold goods, felt that their strength had increased, and naturally formed bandit groups and began to plunder everywhere.
It is the nature of any race to get something for nothing, so these bandit groups have grown rapidly, so that the largest ones have begun to attack the free trade zone with boldness.
"Go and get the casualty report, and call Suarez and the blood hammer. ”
Downton commanded.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, give me half a month, and I will take off all the heads of those bandit leaders and send them to you. ”
As soon as the blood mallet entered the door, it shouted loudly.
As the indigenous person in charge of the hilly area, he naturally understands the recent bad situation, so he first made a guarantee to save himself from being scolded.
In the past, Bloodhammer still felt that everyone was a cooperative relationship and had an arrogant attitude, but after Downton killed Heinrich and had a general overview of the power, he understood the situation, so he clamped his tail and behaved.
Su Ya didn't speak, he knew that His Majesty must have his own opinions.
"The casualties are huge!"
Downton frowned.
"The dead are inexperienced recruits. ”
Bloodhammer explained, "Those robbers, that is, the disease of scabies, can't afford to make too big waves. ”
"Do you think there are other forces behind these bandits?"
Downton asked.
"Master, are you worried that the Evil God Army will occupy the hills, and attack us with the natives as the vanguard?"
Suya guessed Downton's concern.
"Wouldn't it? The living conditions in the hills are so bad, and the natives are so stupid, the Evil God Army will spend this energy to integrate them?"
The blood mallet knows what virtues those natives are, and they can learn for more than half a month while they are walking, and I am afraid that without waiting for the evil god army to speak, they will directly crush their skulls and drink brains.
"Strictly speaking, the vast Dragon Hill is a huge strategic depth, which can be regarded as our retreat, if the Evil God Army sends a mountain force to garrison it, hiss, if there is a war with the demons on the northern front, they will suddenly kill ...... from the hills"
Su Ya gasped, even if he didn't understand the military, he knew how serious the consequences would be, you know, the hills border Frankfurt, and this is Downton's lair.
"Go and check, send scouts into the depths of the hills. ”
Downton commanded.
Suya took the order and left.
"As long as the tribes with more than 100 people are counted, you go and arrange a guide and inform those chiefs that I will feast on them in the free trade zone!"
The warship with guides and messengers on board set off and flew over the dragon hills.
Skull Crusher Tribe.
This is a large ogre clan in the depths of the Dragon Hills, with a population of more than 100,000 and nearly two-thirds of the people who dare to fight, in fact, by indigenous standards, even a woman is terrifying combat power.
"Leave the invitation, you can get out!"
The one-eyed ogre guarding the door didn't even mean to let the messenger in.
"What do you say? Do you know who I represent?"
The messenger was furious.
"Isn't it the Hand of a King named Downton?"
One-eyed smacked his lips with a look of disdain.
Choking, as soon as its words came out, several guards pulled out their battle blades, glared angrily, dared to insult Your Majesty, and must die.
"Haha, trash fish dare to shout?"
One-Eye and his subordinates looked at these humans, who were several times smaller than themselves, and laughed wildly.
"Don't hit, calm down. ”
The guide hastened to reassure.
"You're going to pay for that, let's go. ”
The messenger glared fiercely at Oneeye and turned to leave.
"Aren't you going to invite us to a banquet?
One-Eye also has a source of information, and has long known the purpose of these people from other tribes.
"Hmph, want to go? ”
When the messenger came, he had already been commanded, and the tribes that did not submit should not be heeded.
"Little chief, these humans are very arrogant, or hang them. ”
There are guards to suggest.
"It's useless, these guys won't succumb to death, didn't you just see that? Just a few people dare to draw their swords in front of the gate of our tribe, tsk, it seems that they really worship that Downton. ”
One-eyed teased, glanced at the guide, and besides, with this guy here, he couldn't do it, otherwise he would offend the alliance force of the blood hammer.
"What are you going to do? offend Downton, and you're going to die. ”
The guide complained.
"Haha, if he has a seed, he will come to the hills and cut off my head. ”
One-eyed disdainful, he has a backstage. (To be continued.) )
