Chapter 128: The Defense Line Collapses

The time has advanced to December, and it has already entered the deep winter season of heavy snowfall, cold north, and severe cold.

In such a season, it is obviously not suitable for any military operation based on the traditional concept of Sainz.

Because in such cold weather, not to mention fighting, even an ordinary march may cause a large number of soldiers to freeze to death, not to mention that the road surface is slippery and muddy due to snow cover, it is difficult to march at all.

Therefore, winter is a truce season in the tradition of the Sainz continent, and no country will choose to go to war at this time.

But...... This winter, however, completely broke this tradition.

In mid-November, the kingdom of Lampari defeated the Marfa coalition near the Gretius Mountains, almost annihilating two-thirds of the main forces of the 200,000 Marfa army, and even directly killed a Magister on the battlefield who was a symbol of invincibility in the eyes of countless people.

The victory of this battle alone made the situation between the two sides reversed in an instant.

Prior to this, the army of the Kingdom of Lampari had been defeated by the Marfa coalition, and by the time they retreated to the Gretius Mountains, they had almost returned most of the territory they had stolen from the Frankish Kingdom.

At that time, everyone felt that the Lampari Kingdom had no ability to resist at all, and could only be finally driven out of the Frankish Kingdom by the Marfa coalition army.

Even if the Maro Empire is a little more bold and directly breaks the tradition that the Magister on the Sainz continent is not allowed to join the war of invading other countries, then the Marfa alliance will most likely directly invade the Lampari Kingdom.

And the odds are high.

Because in this war that almost swept the entire Sainz continent, the two warring sides were the camp represented by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. On the other hand, the two empires are at the helm. At the same time, it also has a powerful kingdom like the Magic Kingdom of Mana. It includes almost all the mages on the Sainz continent except for the two mages owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Coupled with the fact that the two imperial camps are supported by the Wizards' Guild, which has been passed down on the Sainz continent for thousands of years, it is not surprising that with the support of such a powerful force, it is not surprising to break this tradition that is not clearly defined.

After all, there are countless things that can be thought of as a reason for bell.

If this really happens, then it will be difficult for the Lampari Kingdom to resist the attack of the Marfa coalition army, and in the end, I am afraid that the Lampari Kingdom will be directly destroyed.

However...... It was this battle in the Gresius Mountains that shattered everyone's predictions.

Some people may have guessed that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce would be able to help the Lampari Kingdom deal with the Marfa coalition forces, but no one could have guessed. The Lampari Kingdom was able to almost completely defeat the Marfa coalition army in just one battle.

What really played a decisive role was that the army of the Lampari Kingdom actually managed to kill one Magus and seriously injure the other three Magus in this battle.

This is the result of facing nearly 200,000 Marfa coalition forces, hundreds of high-level magicians, dozens of great magicians, and four magisters!

Judging from the lineup of the Marfa Alliance, almost everyone originally thought that the Marfa Alliance didn't even know how to lose, but they didn't expect that it would actually be so vulnerable in the face of the real counterattack organized by the Lampari Kingdom!

Such a result was produced in a single battle, which instantly made people question the combat effectiveness of the Marfa coalition army.

Everyone no longer believed that the Marfa coalition was still capable of defeating the kingdom of Lampari, and there were even great doubts about whether the two empires could achieve victory.

There are two most important reasons why the two camps were able to completely suppress the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp during the war some time ago.

The first is that because their side has an absolute numerical superiority, they can suppress the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp from the frontal battlefield at this point.

Second, the two imperial camps have a deep heritage. There are enough manpower to organize attacks in many ways at the same time. Let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp be exhausted.

However, now after the battle of the Gresius Mountains, everyone found that the Magister was not as invincible as they imagined, and even the four Magisters together could not withstand the attack of the army of the Lampari Kingdom, and even one was killed and three wounded, so the biggest reliance of the two imperial camps on the frontal battlefield had disappeared.

At the same time, there is also a very important problem in this battle, that is, the ordinary army under the command of the two imperial camps is like an unarmed child facing a fully armed adult man in front of the army of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp, and there is no ability to resist at all, and can only be completely passively beaten.

In the battle of the Gretius Mountains, when four magisters were killed and three were wounded, the Marfa coalition originally had as many as 160,000 regular troops, which were also equipped with many military magic machines developed by the Maro Empire, and it stands to reason that the combat effectiveness is still strong.

However, under the attack of the Lampari Kingdom, the 160,000 Marfa coalition troops were unable to make any effective resistance, and in less than an hour, a large number of them were killed, and most of them were finally lost, or even almost wiped out.

Correspondingly, the losses announced by the Lampari Kingdom are almost zero!

Even if there is an important factor in the collapse of morale on the part of the Marfa coalition army, such a battle loss ratio is still completely beyond everyone's common sense.

After this war, no one believed that the traditional armies represented by the two empires could pose any threat to the new armies represented by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort, which were equipped with a large number of different types of military magic machinery.

Coupled with the fact that the high-level magicians and even the great magicians, and even the magicians can no longer play the huge role that people imagined to turn the tide of the battle, then the results are already obvious.

The two empires are simply no match for the army of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp on the frontal battlefield, and the only thing that is possible to reverse the situation is to delay the situation by relying on their strategic depth and profound background that far surpasses the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp, and finally see the opportunity to drag down the other party.

The Battle of the Gretius Mountains took place in early winter and was good news for the two empires.

Because it is about to enter winter, even if the Lampari Kingdom has a big advantage, it can only temporarily stop and stop the pace of advancement, so that the Maro Empire can get a breather.

If there is a winter period of reluctance, the outcome of the next year's war will be unpredictable.

However...... The Lampari Kingdom surprised everyone and did not give the Maro Empire this respite.

On December 6th, when a goose-feather snow covered the entire territory of the former Frankish Kingdom and a large area in the southern part of the Maro Empire, the army of the Lampari Kingdom made an unexpected sortie, and in just half a day, 30,000 troops and hundreds of magic tanks and magic chariots had arrived at the city of St. Luth, where the Marfa coalition army had fled in the previous battle in the Gresius Mountains.

After half a day of fighting, the city of St. Luz was destroyed, and only more than 20,000 of the Marfa coalition army escaped north.

On 9 December, the army of the Kingdom of Lampari pursued the remaining 20,000 Marfa troops and blocked them in the Slode Valley in the north of the former Frankish Kingdom.

Seeing that the Marfa coalition army was unable to resist, the commander-in-chief, General Phil, chose to lead the crowd to surrender voluntarily, and the Marfa coalition army was annihilated.

Three days later, the army of the Lampari Kingdom invaded the city of Narian on the northern border of the former Frankish Kingdom, and regained all the territory of the former Frankish Kingdom that had been recaptured by the Marfa coalition army.

At this point, everyone believed that since the army of the Lampari Kingdom had recaptured the territory that was formerly part of the Frankva Kingdom, it was time to stop.

After all, further on is the territory of the Maro Empire, and if you enter, it will be equivalent to invading the Maro Empire.

Countering the attack of the Maro Empire and invading the Maro Empire are two completely different concepts.

In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Maro Empire, all other countries that have invaded the Maro Empire have been severely attacked, even the Candela Empire.

No one believed that the Kingdom of Lampari, a small country that had been inconspicuous on the entire continent for more than a decade earlier, would have the courage to invade the Maro Empire - even if it had defeated the Marfa coalition before.

However, the Kingdom of Lampari once again shattered everyone's speculation with facts.

On December 23, the army of the Lampari Kingdom, which had been resting for ten days, set out and brazenly crossed the southern border of the Maro Empire and officially invaded the Maro Empire itself.

Although the Maro Empire did not expect the Lampari Kingdom to really dare to invade, it had already taken precautions, as early as after the defeat of the Marfa coalition army in the Battle of the Gretius Mountains, it had withdrawn the army that had simultaneously attacked the Duchy of Drake, and then mobilized a large army from other places to deploy on the border for defense.

Out of the importance of the combat effectiveness of the army of the Lampari Kingdom, the Maro Empire can be said to have mobilized almost all the forces within the empire this time, and the Magister alone has mobilized all the remaining five people, and the total number of troops is as high as 360,000.

However...... It doesn't make any sense.

From December 24th to December 30th, after a week of fierce fighting, the Maro Empire still failed to withstand the attack of the army of the Lampari Kingdom after paying more than 100,000 casualties, 80,000 serious wounded, countless fleeers, and more than 400 high-level magicians, nine great magicians and two magisters were directly killed, and the rest were all seriously injured.

The defense line of the Maro Empire collapsed, and the army of the Lampari Kingdom drove straight in.

January 1, 3783 in the continental calendar, the first day of the new year, is an important holiday for others on the continent of Sainz to welcome the new year.

However, for the big names of the Marlo Empire and even the two imperial camps, this is a day that makes them tremble.

Because starting today, starting this year, as the army of the Lampari Kingdom enters the Maro Empire, the two imperial forces that represent the tradition of the Sainz Continent will probably collapse together with the collapse of the Maro Empire's defense line...... (To be continued......)
