Chapter 115: Strategy
After the chaos of the war had subsided that year, the royal court sent emissaries to the north after the last resistance of the southern regions had been extinguished. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the co-lord of the city-state, the royal court ordered the newly established Duchy of Attisus in the north to submit and return the two major domains of the Eastern and Western Regions.
Traditionally, both of these domains had a close relationship with the royal court, and even in the past, they had been vassals of the royal court.
However, for this request, the king of Artis, of course, refused, so the situation in the world, which had been gradually equalized, became tense again.
The royal court was in opposition to the Duchy of Artis.
This result really made countless people fearful, and at the same time they felt excited and apprehensive.
After all, by now, the situation in the whole world has become extremely clear, and the final winner is born in both sides. And the surviving nobles, up to now, have almost all decided to belong to the two parties.
Whichever side wins, the ultimate winner will take over the entire world, recreating the glory of the ancient royal court, which naturally makes countless stakeholders nervous.
On one side is the final victor of the last century, a royal court that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day and is supported by the savior god Chrisa. On the other hand, the newly emerging Duchy of Adisus, which has swept through the north and is supported by the mysterious god of nature.
As time went on, the collision of the two became inevitable.
In that year, after the autumn harvest, the royal court began to send troops, marching from the border of the Northern Regions, and a great war was about to break out.
With the announcement of this big war, all of a sudden, both sides felt an unprecedented pressure coming.
On the side of the royal court, as the orthodox world and the royal court, which has been inherited for countless years, has the most powerful knights and warriors in the world. And compared to the enemies that the Duchy of Adisus had encountered in the past, the warriors of the royal court were more elite and numerous than they could suffocate any enemy.
On the side of the Principality of Adis, because of the great investment of Ardis, the Principality of Adisus has a powerful bow and crossbow, and the arrows blessed by magic are enough to make anyone suffer. Moreover, with the vigorous promotion of the belief in the gods of nature, countless sacrifices that mastered divine arts appeared, although most of them were not even white-robed sacrifices, but they were superior in number, and they were not inferior to the huge knights of the royal court. There are also a variety of different divine arts and the will to fight that is maintained by fanatical beliefs, which also makes the royal court on the attacking side feel extremely shocked.
Both sides are very tenacious and difficult. So this big battle was extremely difficult.
In the beginning, in the face of the rapid offensive of the royal court, Nadir, the chief legion commander of the Duchy of Adisus, ordered to hold on. But as time went on, the defense became more and more strained. So, under the orders of Artis, Nadir retreated backwards, trying to rely on the vast depth of the Northern Regions to drag the other side down.
At the same time, with the exception of the Northern Regions. In the Eastern and Western Regions, armies on both sides fought simultaneously on a number of key defensive lines. For a time, the situation that had calmed down was shattered by the flames of war that ignited again.
・・・
In the royal palace of the city of Artis, Artis couldn't help frowning as he looked at the herald sent from the front.
"Have you lost another line of defense?" he said, looking at the message on the herald.
In front of him, hearing the words of Artis, a knight fell to his knees abruptly, his face frightened, but he did not dare to say anything to defend himself.
"It's okay, you get up. Looking at the knight like this, Artis just shook his head, and then said.
After the knight went down, after a while, on the side, a burly man slowly walked out, with thick hair on his body, but it was Carter.
He looked at Artis, who looked a little absent-minded in front of him, bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. ”
"Although the royal court is too strong, we are not too weak. With the full support of the Holy See, in its current form, we can hold it all. ”
Hearing his words, Artis nodded silently: "How is the preparation of the front line?"
"It's ready. ”
Carter responded: "At present, most of the people in the settlements on the front line have moved away. With the help of the sacrifice, this progress is very fast. ”
"Well, that's pretty good. ”
Artis said.
At this time, in his eyes, there was a faint gold, exuding a faint majesty, which penetrated the soul. The moment is becoming more and more obvious, almost undisguised.
And sensing that bit of majesty, Carter's heart sank, and his head bowed deeply, not daring to look at Artis head-on.
"God of Nature, are you finally awake?" he thought to himself.
This is a recent change. Since the start of the war between the two sides, some indescribable change has begun to take place in Artis. Something seems to be waking up
Even at this time, in the palace, it was shrouded in a huge majesty, and ordinary people could feel a great pressure just walking around the palace, almost making people want to kneel and worship.
All this made Carter, a devout believer in the god of nature, excited, thinking that at this juncture, the gods were finally awakening.
But the next moment, that majesty suddenly disappeared. I saw Artis turn around, his face calm, and look at him: "After the people are moved, order Nadir to retreat." ”
Carter was stunned: "Your Majesty, we have no place to retreat." ”
"If you retreat, the enemy will come to the city of Adisus. ”
He bowed, a little doubt in his eyes.
"Then let him in. ”
Artis replied softly: "Let them come, and we will meet the enemy in the newly built city of Artisus at our feet." ”
With the order, the battle situation in the Northern Regions, which was originally fierce, changed again.
Nadir retreated day after day, emptying the line that had been held for many days.
But when the royal court occupied the land and prepared to plunder it, it found that there were not many gathering points on the surrounding land.
Originally, the Northern Regions belonged to that kind of vast and sparsely populated region. It has the shortest development time and the smallest population. And from time to time, there are demonic beasts and demon tribes intruding, so the strength is the weakest.
At this time, under the early preparation of Artis, a large number of people in the original northern region were moved to the rear, leaving only an empty defense line.
However, for this, the royal court had already expected, after breaking the defense line that had originally hindered the march, countless troops swept up, were drawn in, and headed towards the city of Yatisu in the north.
And as the situation changed to this point, the strategies of both sides were laid out in the open.
The Yadixu side chose to lure the enemy deeper, trying to drag the other side down with the huge strategic depth of the Northern Regions and the solid defense of the national capital Yadixu City. The royal court directly attacked the city of Yadixu, intending to destroy the country in one battle.
You must know that as the capital of the country, the city of Yadisu has extremely important significance. Especially for the Duchy of Yadixu at this time, once the capital of the country is captured by the royal court, then almost half of the Northern Regions will be occupied, and the Eastern and Western Regions, which have been annexed, will also have twists and turns again, and it is almost certain that most of them will be lost.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone can't help but focus on the newly built city of Artisus, ready to witness this unprecedented battle.
And while the battle on the earth was going on, in another place at this time, another battle was about to begin.
