With the official attack of the Da Nao Empire on the Bonuc Empire, the empire was like a machine running at full speed, all kinds of material resources were continuously transported to the front line, and groups of soldiers marched to Bonuc with neat steps.

Under the leadership of the Eight Heavenly Emperors, within three months, the empire successively conquered the twelve provinces of the Bonuco Empire! On the southern front, that is, the direction of the main attack of the Ankelu Empire, it was a "peaceful" place. The Ankeru Empire attacked three, but it didn't even capture a single city in Bonuco!

Under such a frenzied attack of the Da Nao Empire, the empire's army was also suffering a large amount of losses, and more than 6 million soldiers were thrown into the battlefield one after another, and these more than 6 million soldiers were not ordinary people, they were all monks! Even so, within three months, the army had already lost more than 1.6 million.

Great sacrifices have been paid for the Empire's constant victories in war!

Based in the province of Ron, the Empire continued its onslaught on the Bonuco Empire in three directions. Under the increasingly fierce attack of the Empire, the Bonuco Empire was in turmoil. , the royal family had to reassess the battle plan.

"Your Majesty, according to the humble opinion of the ministers and others, the thief army invaded our land in three ways, why don't we integrate our troops and fight head-on with the thief army!"

Emperor Manel of Bonuco sat on the throne and listened to the chief ministers of the palace analyze the battle strategy.

"Is this the opinion of all the courtiers?" asked Emperor Bonuco in a deep voice.

The ministers had no objection. The ministers replied in unison.

"In that case, where is the military headquarters!?" Manel asked aloud.

"The minister is here!"

Among the ministers, two middle-aged men with strong bodies stood up. Recently, the war in the empire has been tight, and the pressure on the two military officers can be imagined, and their hair has begun to turn gray.

"I order you two to quickly come up with a battle strategy, mobilize troops, and follow orders!

"Obey the order!" the two military officers saluted the emperor and responded in unison.

After giving orders to the military headquarters, Manel cleared his throat, his gaze sweeping over the faces of each of his courtiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is currently suffering from the worst crisis in history, I hope that you can put aside the past, work together, and fight for the Empire, don't have selfish thoughts, if there are those who don't do their best, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Fight for Imperial Glory!" The ministers shouted in unison.

Three days later, inside the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Drawing Room.

The two military ministers, Ayrt and Schroeder, are reporting to Emperor Manel on the Empire's latest offensive and defensive strategies.

"Your Majesty! Alt pointed to a point on the map.

"Maginot !?" There was a hint of confusion in Manel's voice.

"My lordship, this Maginot Fortress has not been fought for hundreds of years. Moreover, the fortress is located in the middle of our country, and our army has retreated so deeply, will it not give up the northern part of our country!?"

"Your Majesty!" Schroeder stepped forward and suggested to Manel: "The Maginot Fortress is located in the mountains, surrounded by high mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the concentration of our troops here will definitely be able to stop the attack of the Da Nao Empire! As for the northern territory...... I hope that Your Majesty will take into account the overall situation. ”

"Elt, that's what you think?" Manel's gaze turned to Elt.

"Chancellor and Lord Schroeder see the same thing. ”

Manel paced back and forth in the hall. Obviously, the words of the two military ministers put Emperor Bonuco in a huge entanglement.

After a long time, Manel said with a little tiredness, "All matters should be done according to what the two of you said." I'm tired, so I'll go back to the palace first. The words fell, and there were only two ministers left in the meeting room.

The two looked at each other, smiled bitterly at each other, and left.

According to the strategy of the two military ministers, the Bonuco Empire withdrew its troops south of Maginot and entrenched itself in the south, thus abandoning the areas north of the Empire. This is equivalent to giving up about half of the empire's territory, and the northern region has now been occupied by the Da Nao Empire, and the other half of the territory is about to be incorporated into the empire.

Maginot Fortress was a fortress in the central region of the Bonucco Empire, which had not been subjected to war for the last hundred years. Today, it has become a thriving trading city, where merchants from the north and south gather.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Maginot Fortress, it was actually to resist the invasion of the northern regions, the northern part of the Bonuco Empire was mainly highlands and mountains, the climate was cold, and most of the barbarian tribes lived here, as well as some nomadic peoples. Although it has 24 provinces, there are few cities in each province, and the population is even smaller.

The Bonuco Empire had a population of about 4.7 billion, while the northern regions had only a billion people. A hundred years ago, the empire and the northern regions were still opposed, and it was only in the last hundred years that the Bonuco Empire was incorporated into the territory.

In the south of the Bonucco Empire, south of the Maginot Line, the people who lived in the south were the core subjects of the Bonuc Empire. They looked down on the northerners, believing that the south was the real Bonuc Empire, and that the north was just a vassal.

In the southern part of the Bonuco Empire, the climate is mild, it belongs to the plain region, and the products are abundant, and it is really the country of abundance. Three-quarters of the Bonuco Empire's annual tax revenue comes from the south, so it is not a bad idea to hold on to the south. First, Bonuco could concentrate his forces on a decisive battle with the Da Nao Empire, and second, the Maginot defense line was extremely strong and conducive to defense. Thirdly, the loss of the northern region of the empire did not have much impact on the empire, but made it easier for the southern region to concentrate manpower and material resources to participate in the war!

The order of the military headquarters quickly reached the front line, and within half a month, more than five million soldiers on the front line of the Bonuco Empire quickly withdrew south. At the same time, the Maginot Line was rapidly reinforced and armed. Spells after spells had been reinforced by the monks to the walls and surrounding hills, two generals of the Imperial Army had arrived at the front line to direct the defense, and all merchants and civilians had been expelled from the Maginot Fortress.

Inside the fortress, the originally bustling street markets have been bulldozed and replaced by large warehouses, and the supplies from the rear have been continuously transported here. Heavily armed soldiers patrolled the fortress everywhere. On the city wall, the Bonuco Empire's proudest Yuanli weapon, the Yuanli Cannon, a total of 120 pieces are erected on the city wall, ready to fire Yuanli cannonballs that destroy the enemy at any time.

Outside the fortress, one formation after another was laid down, all of them were killing formations, and the formations were hidden mysteries. In order to be able to stop the attack of the Da Nao Empire, the Maginot Fortress can be said to be armed to the teeth, each section of the city wall, the defenders are equipped with Yuan Li gun, which is a kind of iron after cutting, attached to Yuan Li, a weapon that can be fired, after the Yuan Li gun bullets are exhausted, the defenders begin to fight with their own cultivation, at this time, there is also a Juyuan array in the city to accelerate the recovery of Yuan force.

In addition to its defenses on the ramparts, Maginot Fortress also has a huge underground fortification, ready to strike at invading enemy forces through bunkers and tunnels!

After the withdrawal of the Bonuco Empire, the troops of the Da Nao Empire took over the entire northern region without encountering the slightest resistance, and the two armies officially began to confront each other in the Maginot region.

The Empire moved its operational headquarters to the city of Girod, which was only thirty miles away in a straight line from the Maginot fortress, and half an hour was enough for the monks at full speed.

The eight lieutenants gathered in Girod City to discuss the next battle plan.
