The secret plan, codenamed "Anvil and Hammer", is well underway. At some point, a rumor began to circulate in Schwartenen that Sebastian the Soul Reager, the inspector of the South Central District, had arrived in the southwestern part of the empire.

It is said that he led the 1st Mobile Division of the Imperial Central Army, which had just defeated the Vanoria rebels, and that he only came to seize the Duchy of Froburg, and did not want to fight the local Chinese and American forces. The reason for this was that Schwartenn's inspector Salian had a bad relationship with him, and it was rumored that Higgismund V had originally wanted to give the Duchy of Froburg to Salian, but because Sebastian had bribed several of the emperor's close courtiers, these people deceived the rich wine region and the inspectors of the south-central region took it away.

Now Ulrich, the former Duke of Woolberg, and his uncle, Jurgen, the former Bishop of Ulm, have privately concluded an armistice with the leaders of the Chinese American army, and Ulrich has promised to give all the occupied territory to the rebels and not seek to retake them. The U.S. forces agreed not to continue attacking the rest of Ulrich's territory.

Now the general situation of Schwartenn was settled, with Ulrich using all his forces to resist Sebastian, the inspector of the south-central district, who was vying for the title of duke, and the Chinese and American forces concentrating on the situation of the southwestern inspector Salian.

Sebastian did not hide the route of his march, and his army marched into Sindelbronn, the capital of Vürloburg, in three directions, and its offensive was far from being comparable to that of Ulrich's rabble, and in a few days it took Fhringen, Schlangen, Emmendingen, Echengen, Singen, Bittengen and other places, and Ulrich had to recall all the mercenaries to the capital, thinking that he would hold on. In this way, Kankan blocked Sebastian's attack. And the red man who had recently been in front of the emperor, perhaps fearing that his army would be too much of a loss under the city, did not continue to attack the fortified Sindelbronn. It's just layered up.

On the other hand, the leaders of the Chinese and American forces gathered at the Pflonsten Monastery, where Elder Mintzel lived, for an all-army assembly.

"Elder, I've heard that Big Brother Brundlin was recently moved from the dungeons of Constance to his own castle in Stringen by the Southwestern Inspector Salian. He may want to interrogate Brother Brundlin himself! We must hurry to save him, that Salian, nicknamed 'Cruel Black Sun', is in his hands, and it is estimated that Big Brother is more than lucky, and the sooner the better. ”

"Well, what do you have any good ideas?"

"You're welcome, just storm his castle in one go, that Salian is cruel, but he is a character who can only eat soft rice. His financial territory is obtained by sleeping with women. ”

"Yes, this treacherous man should be killed, everyone!

Guiyizong, Shoehui, and poor Conrad gathered all their elite troops to form a special Chinese American army, and they planned to attack Konstanz with the rest of the army to attract the attention of Schwartenn, and then attack Stlingenburg with this most effective army. In addition, the reinforcements were dispatched to the center, which can be described as a exhaustive plan. With the combination of religious fanaticism and the courage to win a hundred battles, the rebel army was confident that it would win a complete victory.

Sebastian's siege of Sindelbrom was actually only 3,000 men, and with the magician-level illusionist Miss Sorena, it was not a problem to simulate 3,000 people into 30,000. In this way, the 10,000 men saved were combined with Salian's 2nd Mobile Division.

With the inferno forest below and the newly rebuilt city walls and magic cannons, the confident Salian left a garrison of only 2,000 men, with only Vigri, Theresa, and Hilda as generals. Sallian led all the rest of the men and the main forces of the 1st and 2nd Mobile Divisions of the Central Army in an ambush in the valley of the Willen, 50 kilometers southeast of Stlingenburg. Salian paid this month's salary at the same time for the victory. Now, even if the emperor is there in person, he will not be able to command such a brave army.

In this way, several forces think that their own strategy is superior, but it is still known who will kill the deer.

On April 15, 2497 in the advent calendar, the invasion of Schwartenen, which was later dubbed bloody and cruel, finally began. The leader of the shoe club, Joss Kimmich, led 10,000 elite Chinese troops to the city of Stellingen, and at first a dark forest blocked their way. But these madmen did not stop, and as a result, many of them fell into the woodland and lost themselves, or their bodies appeared on the branches of trees, or they became fertilizer for a certain plant.

"There's something strange about this wood, let's set fire to the mountain!" Joss was an excellent field commander, and he immediately abandoned the soldiers who had entered the forest first, and ordered the follow-up personnel to set fire to it.

Although Vigri himself is not afraid of fire as a hellvine, the forest he cultivates is a native plant of the main material plane and cannot withstand the flames. After being engulfed by fire, the rebels successfully carved out a march corridor in the forest.

"Hatefully, Salian had planned that the Forest of Hell would be able to buy him time for at least one day, but now it only lasted four or five hours. In the tower of Stlingenburg, Teresa, Hilda, and Vigli are discussing what to do.

"It's okay, let them taste the power of the latest Urban magic cannon when the time comes!"

After crossing the forest, the Chinese American army lost only 1,000 men, and still had an absolute advantage. Their morale was high and they lined up behind the siege engines to prepare for the attack. In the battles of conquering countless palaces, they have accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with fortified castles. These siege vehicles, catapults, building carts, and stormers were all carried up the mountain by space equipment, and the rebels had a lot of trophies. Salian may have underestimated them.

As the rebels shouted slogans and charged, the four heavy magic cannons fixed to the rotating gun mounts in Stlingenburg began to attack at the same time as the ranged magic guns in the hands of the guards. Accompanied by the earth-shattering sound, one after another cannonballs wrapped in fierce "magic explosion powder" fell in the middle of the rebel army's position, and in an instant blood and flesh flew everywhere, ghosts and wolves howled, but when Yoss played the music of praising the people's freedom, these peasants, miners, and urban poor who could not survive in the first place were all reinvigorated and marched forward bravely without fear of death! This is the power of the people, and no one can stop it!

On the other hand, although it was the latest type of magic cannon, it was still slow to reload, and it didn't take long for the magic gun to overheat and couldn't shoot, and the rebels took advantage of this gap to destroy all the magic cannons with trebuchets. Under the suppression of their rain of arrows, the guards at the head of the city were all pushed into the city.

"Huh! I didn't expect the strength and morale of the rebel army to be so strong, I wanted to hold on for three days, wait for Salian to break the enemy on the Constance side, and then return to attack the rebel army here from behind, but now it seems that it is all delusional, and the castle can no longer be held in just half a day!"

"This is the home city of the Salian family for generations, we can't give it up easily! I'll turn into a dragon to cover it, and you can break through with the remnants of the army!"

"Alas, that's all there is to it!"

Flames erupted from Hilda's mouth, and the entire Stlingenburg was reduced to ashes in a sea of fire, destroying Salian's centuries-old legacy.
