When McCarthy and Grand Duke Jon decided to let the main force of Stassy's army go south for a big battle, Grand Duke Jon actually drew up another battle plan without McCarthy's knowledge.

And the high-ranking officials and generals of Stacy thought the same as Grand Duke Jon, that is, Dean City must not be easily abandoned!

This idea is understandable, although the Steel Fortress is a line of defense that Stasi has operated for decades, and a means to ensure that Stasi will not be attacked from both sides, but Dean City, as the capital of Stasi, has a much more important value.

The Duchy of Stasi is different from Falkenridge, and the highly politicized influence of Grand Duke Jon on the country has led to the city of Dean being more important in the hearts of Stasi than Zakif is in the hearts of Falkenridge.

Although after Vis became the king of Falkenridge, he also began to strengthen the value of the royal capital in the eyes of the people, but after all, only a dozen years have passed, and the effect cannot be compared with the efforts of the Grand Duke Jon family in the past hundred years.

This makes Stasi more cohesive, but if the capital is lost, the people will definitely be hit harder than Falkenridge.

So the battle to the south begins, and Grand Duke Jon gives all his possessions to support McCarthy in a battle of fate. But the empty defenses of Dean City were undoubtedly a gloom in everyone's minds, so Grand Duke Jon began to think of ways to strengthen the defenses of the central region of the country.

The mobilization of women of all ages on the spot is naturally a necessary part, but everyone knows that relying on these rabble will not stop the tiger and wolf army trained by the former general Saraka. Even though I recently heard that Saraka had died of illness, his successor is said to be a ruthless character, and his style can be seen as another Saraka.

In fact, it is true that Blue Descartes is not as experienced as Saramondo in this regard, but he has Gareto who fully understands Salamondo's intentions, and Blue Descartes's personality is not much different from Saramondo, so the strategies formulated by Salamondo are basically preserved intact.

In other words, the great general of Falkenridge has only changed in name only, and there has been no change in substance!

After thinking about it, since the army of Falkenridge in the south could not be allowed to penetrate deeply, and the city of Dean in the center had to be kept as hard as possible, it could only abandon the other direction.

So Archduke Jon decided to abandon the western part of Stasi and use the vast expanse of land to delay the footsteps of the Falkenridge army. As long as the Armageddon in the south can be won, and the city of Dean is not captured, then the lost land in the west will soon be able to counterattack back.

In this way, the two armies clustered northwest of Stahl, who were also the last nearly 100,000 infantry that Grand Duke Jon could mobilize at will, rolled up their coverings and began their retreat to the south to aid Dean City.

Grand Duke Jon's idea is very simple: I don't want those places in the west, and with this 100,000 army in Dean City, it can support it for a while!

And the sudden southward movement of the northwestern cluster of Sta did make the commander of Falkenridge's army feel a lot of pressure, after all, the extra infantry out of thin air did increase the variables of the battle of Dean City.

Once these 100,000 troops are allowed to gather around Dean, it is likely that Dean's City will become the next Steel Fortress - Falkenridge has paid a very heavy price to break through the Steel Fortress, and it does not have so many resources to fight again.

In fact, the storming of the Steel Fortress now certainly gives Falkenridge a lot of strategic advantages, but its after-effects are still boiling over Falkenridge's occupation and allies.

During the assault on the Steel Fortress, Falkenridge had amassed a full 200,000 troops, and that was without interfering with the offensive southwest of Stahlass. How did these 200,000 people come about?

More than half of them, of course, were "borrowed" from the Duchy of Taukaba and the Duchy of Wets!

More than 100,000 young lives have been deliberately filled in by the Falkenridges, and the impact of the disturbance will not be easily quelled, and if it were to happen again, it is estimated that the Taukaba and even the Weitz area will become a hotbed of guerrillas. The plan of any so-called smart person is not flawless, at least the strategy of killing two birds with one stone only looks good on the surface, but in fact there are not many sequelae.

Falkenridge was prepared with the two fundamental objectives of weakening the occupied territory and capturing the Steel Fortress with minimal losses.

Mobilizing the youth of the Taukaba region and consciously depleting the forces of these regions sounded good and was perfectly in the interests of Falkenridge. However, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that this seemingly multi-effective plan is nothing more than an overdraft of the Taukaba people's hatred of Stasi and their affection for Falkenridge.

The strength of the personnel is bought by shaking the feelings of the region, so it makes sense why Vis is desperately trying to find a way to help build Taukaba.

The Falkenridge army on the entire Eastern Front was replenishing its forces and training its troops. Receive a large number of steam chariots and simplified steam auto-propelled guns, transports and other equipment to store up your strength for the final offensive ahead.

For example, Iroh, who has temporarily stabilized, once again used his faith points to buy dozens of steam chariots from the Havar Empire, and almost all of their old chariots were looted.

These steam chariots did give the armored forces a breath of relief, and the armored forces, which had been almost wiped out in the war, finally recovered some of their structure slightly after receiving twenty steam chariots.

Unfortunately, the losses of other heavy units are difficult to make up for a while, after all, the instantaneous losses cannot be immediately filled with money.

At the same time, about 20,000 soldiers who had just finished their training joined the army group with heavy losses. Even General Igor, who has been famous for many years, did not expect that he could get such a large amount of equipment and personnel immediately, and he thought that it would take at least four months for the group army to return to a state capable of fighting.

Comparing the Stasi army at this moment, you can see how quickly Falkenridge is replenishing the consumption of his frontline troops: at the same time, Stasi has replenished nearly 100,000 young soldiers to the front, but the replenishment of the Knights of the Earth Dragon is only in the pitiful single digits......

And these additions are all new to Stacy. Assigned to the head of the southbound cluster controlled by McCarthy, he was given just over 10,000 soldiers. Compared with General Igor's army group, the difference in treatment is heaven and earth.

All in all, with the efforts of Ello, Salamondo, Weiss, and Blue Descartes and others, the stage of rapid and violent troops unique to the Stacy physique established by Grand Duke Jon has been survived by Falkenridge, and now Stasi is no different from Falkenridge, and can only rely on slow replenishment to transfuse blood to its front-line troops.

Under the influence of the situation of the entire battlefield, the priority of Stasi's reinforcement must be Dean City, not the southern region that has lost its offensive ability.

So even if McCarthy cried his father and mother, he only got a pitiful supply bottom line in the end. The main division of the main divisions of Stasi, commanded by several generals under his command, lost a full 10,000 men, but could only be replenished by a thousand. It is conceivable how much the combat capability has decreased.

What's even more exaggerated is that several of Stasi's legions lost more than five hundred dragon knights in the attack, most of them were still elites in a hundred battles, but the newly replenished dragon knights were not even ten, so this distribution was simply desperate.

In contrast, the Stasi army in the direction of Dean City has been strengthened to a certain extent, and has been supplemented by tens of thousands of new soldiers, in addition to the northwest cluster of nearly 100,000 soldiers that is approaching them.

Of course, the good news is not without it, that is, the boss of Stasi, the Tadoya Empire, has successfully held back the offensive of the Havar Empire. Although in terms of low-end power, the Tadoya Empire is inferior to the Hawar Empire, which has a variety of advanced weapons, but as the country where the headquarters of the Holy See of Dawn is located, Tadoya has a more powerful mobilization ability than Stasi.

Even though Hawar was agitating adventurers, using new steam chariots and magic cannons, and even the newly developed flying chariots were sent out to wipe out the Tadoya Imperial Army by hundreds of thousands, he was still desperate to find that Tadoya had gathered millions of troops in the rear......

That's right, as the country with the longest history, the largest territorial area, and the largest population in the Western Continent, Tadoya has a standing army of as many as eight million!

This number can only be surpassed by the nine million troops of the Vola Empire.

However, the Vola Empire's army of nine million was the ultimate force, as they had to prepare so many soldiers to maintain the long Constantine Line. The Tadoya Empire was a completely different story.

In fact, once Tadoya has a national mobilization, then the number of troops it can mobilize will even exceed the 10 million mark!

And even with 10 million troops, this is not a nerve-wracking affair for the Tadoya Empire.

In contrast, the Havar Empire is now at the limit of five million troops to fight.

In short, now that Tadoya has the upper hand, they have sent diplomats to consult with Stasi. As soon as the Havar Empire is relented, Tadoya will immediately send at least half a million reinforcements to flood Falkenridge with a torrent of steel!

In Zakif's castle, Vis couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the information in his hand describing the above information.

"The attack must be accelerated. ”

The High Command led by Blue Descartes had already estimated the end of the war between the two empires, and even the most optimistic estimates suggested that the war would end within a month.

That is, within a month, if Falkenridge still can't push Stacy into a corner, then the form of the war will be completely reversed.
