Chapter 594 Since the word "expansion" was coined, it was often only used in writing, and rarely in practice
From the outbreak of the war to this moment, more than 50,000 elites have been requisitioned and sent to the Western Front to strengthen the overall defense line of the seven war fortresses. But it's definitely not the last time, it's just the first time, and there may be many more to come...... Many times!
From the very beginning, the purpose of this battle was not to capture a fortress or tear apart the defenses, but simply to fight the population. With Grace sitting on the Western Front, even if a city falls, he will lead the elite of the empire to recapture the lost city as soon as possible. Rather than directly confronting the undefeated god of war and burying the power in his hands, the Grand Chief of the Full Moon Golden Horde thought that it would be better for everyone to stab each other.
If you stab me, I will stab you, and it will be a comparison of who has more flesh and who has more blood. Once the strength of the Western Front is urgent, and the Orlando Empire is unable to mobilize a large number of elites to support the Western Front due to the increase in the domestic strength gap due to the Northern Expedition, it is the time for the Full Moon Golden Horde to move eastward!
Even if you Grace have reached the level of a master of the arts, even if your personal force value has been against the sky, but you don't have a few soldiers under your command to use, when you face thousands of elite horsemen alone, your myth of invincibility will be shattered.
And this is the only way to defeat Grace on the battlefield.
Why doesn't Grace know?
The Full Moon Cavalry seems to be trying their best to siege the city in every battle, but their real purpose is to consume each other, and whenever the victory or defeat is decided by the large army, they will silently withdraw their troops, waiting for the soldiers in the fortress to rest and resupply, and then attack the city again.
This method of warfare gave him a headache, he only had one person, and he could only lead the sergeants to fight in one place. Once he takes the initiative, it means that at least five fortresses may be under tremendous pressure.
As for the idea of going directly to the middle of the desert, he was not unprecedented, but considering the supplies and the harsher climate in the desert, he was not confident enough to lead his soldiers to the middle of the desert to see the full moon of the Golden Horde with his own eyes.
At this time, Grace regretted a little, why didn't he keep the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc.
If there is a Valkyrie on the Western Front who can compete with him in prestige and strength, then he will be more mobile and can turn into a surprise force, cutting back and forth in the path of the Full Moon Army, disrupting their supply lines.
It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world, and to lose is to lose.
The only thing to be thankful for now is that Greon has done a good job, and in just over ten days he has recaptured a city, and in two months at most, he will be able to drive all the Byronians back from the sea. By that time, Green's turn back to sit on the Western Front with him was enough to solve a lot of problems.
As for Wren...... , Everyone is relieved, the Iron Wall Pass is not just a casual talk, the Byron Empire has tried to open this level more than once for more than 70 years, but the only thing that gives back to them is failure, failure, and failure.
As long as Wren is not impulsive and holds the iron wall steadily, then the final result of this war will not deviate from the requirements of Empress Pars.
But will Wren be so obedient?
This is obviously impossible, if he was obedient, he would not be Rennes, and he would not have today's status and power, it is precisely because of his surprise that he has been able to get to where he is today.
"My lord, the things have arrived, what should I do next?", Furman turned into an honest and obedient dogleg to explain everything to Wren, and Wren felt that Fman was a little too positive.
Wren said casually without raising his head, "Put it in a jar and seal it, and put it all up under the city wall, and it will be of great use tomorrow." He swept his hand away and waved Furman away.
He was looking at Byron's topographical map, and on his desk were some of the bulletins of the Byronic Empire, in which some of the news about the mission was outlined in red pen. He will never stay here until the end of the war, he will fight through the Weimar corridor all the way to the Byronic Empire. The Empire, or Empress Pars, was able to use him to guard the Iron Wall with confidence this time mainly due to two considerations.
First of all, Wren's troops are not enough to support him to do something unexpected. The number of troops gathered from the entire Bell Province is only eight or nine thousand, and this is because Wren is here, otherwise it would be too many to gather five thousand people. It's not that these nobles are unwilling to support Wren's cause of "plugging leaks", but that the province of Bell has only been purged for more than a year, and the newly arrived lords and city lords have not yet established their own prestige in the local area, so they can't recruit more soldiers from those civilians who have not yet gotten rid of the feelings of the previous lord and city lord.
There were no troops in his hands, and if Wren dared to say that he was going to fight Byron, I am afraid that Queen Pars would laugh out loud. Even if you have 10,000 people and lead 10,000 recruits belonging to different forces to fight into the heart of the Byron Empire?
The second is that this war is by no means what many Desi people imagine, everyone just collides, and it will end soon. Whether it is the full moon or Byron, they are all serious and real guns, in order to strive for a certain result as soon as possible and relieve the pressure on the country, they will inevitably do their best. Wren is not a master tactician, let alone a master conductor, why did he fight to the Byron Empire?
Therefore, guarding the iron wall well is the greatest expectation of Empress Pars.
It's a pity that Wren and Empress Pars may have been born to oppose each other, and the more Empress Pars expects him to be honest, the less he can be honest.
This time, he wanted to fight the Byron Empire, in addition to ending the war as soon as possible, he also wanted to meet with the Pope once. The power of religion is by no means as little as people see, and if the power of the church is a mountain in the eyes of people, then the church is an iceberg, revealing only five percent of the power. You must know that the only force that has survived from the mythological era in the general history of the mainland is the church.
If you want to say that the church can really be suppressed by a country, a group of nobles can't hold their heads up, and kill Wren, Wren won't believe it.
So, he wanted to talk to the Pope, maybe there would be a better idea and a better way.
After looking around the Byron area for a while, there was another knock on the door, and Wren came in softly, and when he looked up, Harvey smiled and bent over to get in. This guy is already a baron, and as a nobleman, he doesn't have the slightest aristocratic momentum, and he still looks like a slave trader who can't do anything. After Wren left, he was given the task of putting him in charge of the affairs between Ortrenburg and the Black Barbarians, and he did a good job.
Putting down the map in his hand again, Wren sat down in his chair and leaned back, twisted his somewhat sore neck, looked at the ceiling and asked, "Everything is arranged?"
Harvey nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my lord, it's all arranged, and you can start acting at any time." ”
Of course, it is impossible for Wren to lead about 10,000 recruits to attack a large and powerful empire, and his real strength is the black barbarian and the ice barbarian.
The High Priest had planned to take advantage of the chaos to raid the area, but for some unknown reason, she suddenly terminated her own plan and continued to do nothing on the ice field. This just gave Wren an opportunity, he exchanged a letter with the high priest, the high priest was willing to lend him 500 ice barbarians, and was also willing to let him borrow the ice field, from the east side of the Salme Mountains down the ice field, directly send up to 10,000 black barbarian elites directly into the territory of the Byron Empire.
Wren didn't use too many black barbarians, firstly, it was not easy to manage because there were too many black barbarians, and secondly, it was easy to prematurely stimulate the sensitive Empress Pars. If it weren't for the rest of the situation, Wren would have even wanted to mobilize five thousand men.
The 10,000 black barbarians with the strongest combat power, plus 500 ice barbarians, are enough to turn the Byron Empire upside down without attacking the city. The policy of ethnic autonomy in the Byronic Empire made the relationship between many different ethnic groups not as harmonious as the Germans imagined. For example, between the lion and the rat, the conflict is very fierce, if Wren attacks the territory of one of the races, the other race will only applaud and laugh and watch the excitement, and will not even have the idea of helping.
And as long as the city is not attacked, for the supreme rulers of the Byron Empire, Wren is like a rogue wreaking havoc on the ground, far from the point where they pay enough attention to it, and their focus will be on how to retake the level, rather than eliminating a group of "rogues" who can be destroyed at will.
Wren looked at Harvey and nodded, "I know, you go back first." ”
Harvey showed no signs of standing up, he was still sitting with a stiff smile, "My lord, I want to go to Byron too!"
Harvey wanted to go to Byron for no reason, yes, he was a baron now. However, there are countless barons in the entire empire, and most of them are nobles like Harvey who have no fiefdom and no power. Compared to those real nobles and big nobles, they are just "commoners" who are slightly higher than the commoners, and they still don't get much attention, let alone status.
People have desires, and desires breed ambitions. In Harvey's not long life, he never thought that he would one day become a nobleman, but when he became a nobleman, he had the soil for ambition to breed - he wanted to become a bigger nobleman, have more power and status, and have a fief of his own.
Imperial knighthood and the allocation of fiefs are not a reference to whether a nobleman's title is high enough, and there are many nobles such as viscounts and earls among those nobles in the imperial capital who are waiting to die. Unless you have a certain amount of military exploits and have made indelible military exploits for the empire, the empire will consider giving you a fief and giving you a little actual power.
Harvey's idea is very simple, he and Wren go to the Byron Empire to make a mess, and when he returns, he will have enough confidence to obtain higher titles, powers, and fiefs.
As for the danger...... This slave trader, who does not know how many slaves have been lost in his hands, will not spare his own lives at all in the face of greater ambitions, just as he treats those slaves.
