Chapter 471: Mentor

On April 25, 1787, in the general calendar of the continent of Gelintya, the Norton family, who had captured the royal city of Fedeliga in winter, sent the Flying Tiger Legion to sweep through the province of Puerto Org, and at the end of the same month, the Rock Legion set out to attack the province of Cambona.

Cambona was a strategic location on the territory of the former Cresson Empire, connecting the province of Puerto Org, the two provinces of the southwest, the north-west and the province of Marivia. It can be said that taking control of Cambona Province will form a clear strategic advantage over the five provinces that are all around.

However, before the kingdom of Redlis, which was established by the eldest prince, was defeated by the second highness, who was still the ruling kingdom of the Kingdom of Antinac at that time. He sent 300,000 troops to attack the Kingdom of Antinac, but was set up a trap by His Royal Highness in Liushuichuan, and the whole army was annihilated, and the eldest prince fled back with only a few attendants.

At that time, the peace agreement signed between the eldest prince and the second highness was only five years, and the eldest prince, who was frightened by the second highness, did not dare to slack off when he heard that the second highness had begun to reorganize the army and fight. It's just that he didn't dare to compete with the Second Highness on the battlefield anymore, but instead adopted the tactics of shrinking and self-preservation, spending a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and spent more than three years to build more than 100 castles and fortresses of all sizes in various places with dangerous terrain in Cambona Province, and equipped with nearly 70,000 garrison troops, building Cambona Province into a defensive barrier in Puerto Org Province.

After Cambona Province turned into a heavily armed hedgehog, the eldest prince finally relented and proudly declared that even if His Royal Highness led an army of 300,000 to attack Cambona Province, it would be impossible to pass Cambona Province without paying a huge price of more than 200,000 casualties. If His Royal Highness really attacks Cambona Province, then when he defeats Cambona Province, he will not have the strength to attack Puerto Org Province again, and then the eldest prince can send troops to counterattack and regain the lost territory.

At the same time, in order to strengthen the determination of the 70,000 garrison troops in Cambona Province to resist to the end, the eldest prince also thoughtfully gathered the families of the 70,000 garrison officers and officers to the royal city of Fedeliga, and nominally he was personally responsible for taking care of the families of these loyal subordinates, so as to relieve them of worries. In fact, everyone knows very well that these family members are hostages.

The eldest prince's calculations played very well, but things did not go as he wanted. The next thing everyone knows, the second highness braved the storm and snow through the frozen Egret Lake swamp in the bitter cold winter, paid the price of more than 20,000 people freezing to death and frostbite, climbed over the Yunduan Mountain Range and the Great Snow Mountain, and attacked and captured the royal city of Fedeliga, and the eldest prince abandoned the city and fled without a trace.

Thanks to the families of the officers of the garrison of Cambona Province gathered in the royal city, 70,000 garrison troops of Cambona Province surrendered without a fight. The defense system that the Great Prince had carefully built at great cost did not come in handy and became a big joke. Although the eldest prince disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown, he was never seen again for the next two years, and the kingdom of Redlis peris.

On the one hand, the Second Highness who occupied the royal city of Federiga was arrogant, and on the other hand, he was also confused because of his illness, and he was entrusted to no one. In a good situation, he turned his face with the nobles of the territory of Ander Wolf Province, dragged himself into the quagmire, and fought fiercely with the rebellious lord alliance forces in Ander Wolf Province and Majik Province for two years, and at the same time angered the four central principalities, but was found by the Vesian Chamber of Commerce watching from the sidelines, and sent troops to capture Cambona Province, giving His Royal Highness a fatal blow.

After the surrender of the 70,000 garrisons in Cambona, His Highness transferred them to Andlviv Province as a counterinsurgency army, and the garrison of Cambona Province was abandoned, and many castle fortresses were either undefended and unguarded, or garrisoned by some local garrisons composed of the old, weak, sick and disabled. Perhaps His Royal Highness thought that Cambona Province was already a big rear at that time, and he didn't attach much importance to it in his heart.

The Vesia Chamber of Commerce took this opportunity to occupy Cambona Province in one fell swoop by means of bribery and sneak attack, cutting off the food routes and logistics supply lines of the more than 300,000 troops of His Royal Highness on the front line, so that His Royal Highness could no longer get reinforcements and grain and grass supplies, and finally lost the army and added the royal city.

His Royal Highness led more than 6,000 cronies to break through the siege and abscond. As a result, on the way back to China, he encountered the eldest prince and his son who lived in seclusion in a remote small territory in the Yunduan Mountain Range, and the two sides fought a bloody battle, the eldest prince and his son died, and the second highness died. Without reliable force to ensure it, His Royal Highness could not afford to return to China to compete for the throne with the usurping Queen Carry, so he had to go into exile in the Northland to gain the support of Lorlist, and finally re-became the king of the Kingdom of Antinac with the help of the Norton forces.

And the Vicia Chamber of Commerce, after defeating the Second Highness, incorporated the provinces of Cambona, Portoorg and Andlvóv into the territory of the Merchant Union, of which the province of Portoorg became the territory of the Vicia Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, after ceding the two southwestern provinces and the Hansdemoth province from the Andinac kingdom, he signed a peace agreement with the usurping queen of Kerry, and established the United Duchy of Bullitt and the Hansdemoth province of the southwestern provinces and the Principality of Zturam in the northwest as a buffer state between the commercial alliance and the Kingdom of Antinac.

But what the Vesia Chamber of Commerce didn't expect was that His Royal Highness had the support of Lorist, and after the Norton family armed forces launched a landing war to destroy the Duchy of Madras and bordered the Kingdom of Andinac, they directly sent troops to conquer the usurping Queen Kerry, and put His Royal Highness on the throne again. Then he swept through the southwestern provinces, destroyed the United Duchy of Bullitt, and turned his troops to the Duchy of Zthuram.

The Grand Duke of Zthuram did not dare to resist, and withdrew his troops to the northwest region, surrendering the province of Hansdemos, so that the Norton family forces effortlessly completed the agreement with the Second Highness. His Royal Highness has re-established himself as King of the Kingdom of Antinac and recovered the Southwestern Province and the Hansdemus Province, which is very bad news for the Vesian Chamber of Commerce, and it also means that the peace agreement with Queen Carey is a waste of paper. In fact, the Business Alliance and the Kingdom of Andinac were already in a state of hostility, just without declaring war on each other.

In order to prevent His Royal Highness from entering Cambona Province and cutting off the connection between the Commercial Alliance and Portoorg Province, the Vicia Chamber of Commerce had to vigorously support the nobles of the territory that the Commercial Alliance had canonized to Cambona Province, relying on the power of one of the seven giants of the Commercial Alliance, and with the help of the defense system of the castle fortress left by the former Great Prince, to integrate a reliable joint garrison of the lords of Cambona Province to deal with the Second Highness's heavy troops in the two southwestern provinces to guard against Cambona Province, and to guard against the surprise attack that it might launch.

In fact, His Royal Highness is also a strong outsider, don't look at the sound of his mouth, he wants to regain the glory of the Cresson Empire or something, but in private, it is strictly forbidden for the White Lion Legion stationed in the two southwestern provinces not to violate the borders of Cambona Province, and even patrols must be far away from the borders, so as not to let the business alliance gain the truth and take the opportunity to attack the Kingdom of Antinac.

His Royal Highness, who had just re-ascended the throne, knew that he was just a paper tiger on his side, and he was glamorous on the outside and really had no strength on the inside. Fortunately, the Vesia Chamber of Commerce and the Business Alliance were both frightened by the strength of the four Northland Alliances led by the Norton family. Raided the Duchy of Madras, swept the Kingdom of Antinac, destroyed the United Duchy of Bullit, and defeated the Archduke of Fisabrun, the steppe god of the Crisson Empire, and the coalition forces of the Four Central Duchyes. All of a sudden, the family forces of the four alliances of the Northlands became the most powerful and important pillar of force in the Kingdom of Antinac.

There is an idiom called fox fake tiger power, and the Visia Chamber of Commerce does not know the true relationship between the Second Highness and the Four Alliances of the Northlands, nor does it know that the Second Highness is the fox. His Royal Highness also needed time to rearm, so the borders of the two southwestern provinces and Cambona provinces were calm and peaceful for the next few years. Until the war between the Business Alliance and the Central and South Kingdom Alliance, the Vesia Chamber of Commerce was worried that His Royal Highness would take advantage of the fire to rob, but he didn't expect His Royal Highness to be very honest.

After more than a year, His Royal Highness transferred the White Lion Legion from the two southwestern provinces to attack the Four Duchy in the Middle, and the Vesia Chamber of Commerce relieved his mind that His Royal Highness did not dare to offend the majesty of the Commercial Alliance, after all, the Commercial Alliance was now the largest country in the Gelinthia Continent, not the small local power that had been pressed and rubbed on the ground by the Krisson Empire a hundred years ago. They thought that the Second Highness should have acquiesced in the new territory of the Commercial Alliance and the Kingdom of Antinac, and no longer dreamed of restoring the glory of the empire after unifying the territory of the former Cresson Empire.

Sure enough, after the destruction of the Four Central Duchies, His Royal Highness did not invade the province of Andlviv again, and consciously stayed outside the territorial boundaries of the commercial alliance, and at the same time canonized the Grand Duke of Handra and Grand Duke Sabaji as the territorial dukes of the new southwestern provinces. This series of actions finally completely relieved the Vesia Chamber of Commerce, believing that His Royal Highness would no longer be a threat to the business alliance.

Of course, the Vesia Chamber of Commerce is not speculating out of thin air, the army of the commercial alliance defeated the coalition army of the Central and Southern Kingdoms, and the Kingdom of Chigeda and the commercial alliance secretly colluded, and the principalities of those kingdoms in the central and southern parts of the country were completely disgraced, the war situation was nearing the end, the general trend was decided, and the commercial alliance expanded its territory again, and its prestige was great. The most important thing is that the Business Alliance now has a Zhenguo Sword Saint, in such a situation, how dare the Antinac Kingdom and His Second Highness fight the idea of the Business Alliance?

The Vesia Chamber of Commerce ignored the determination and ambition of the Second Highness to unify the former Cresson Empire, so much so that it was suddenly attacked by the Norton family forces and annoyed Lorlist, and was uprooted and removed from the Big Seven of the Business Alliance. And the Rock Legion armed by the Norton family is even more invincible when it goes out to Cambona Province after the rainy season, you must know that the fortress castles of Cambona Province are defended by the Kingdom of Antinac in the direction of the two southwestern provinces, and no one expected the Rock Legion to fight from behind. The territories were quickly swept away, and the nobles of the territories canonized by the commercial alliance were either killed in battle or became prisoners, and only a few nobles were lucky enough to escape back to the city of Morente.

When the northwest region was attacked by the army of the Kingdom of Andinac, the Duchy of Zturam was destroyed, the Norton family armed forces raided the province of Andlviv, occupied the royal city of Federiga, all the high-ranking officials of the Vicia Chamber of Commerce and their relatives were killed, and the Rock Legion swept through Cambona Province, after the news spread to the business alliance and spread to the entire continent, the business alliance was shocked, and all the countries on the continent were shocked by these news.

The business alliance was very angry, and this was almost the fact that the business alliance was slapped several times when it was at its most angry, and this was simply a living slap in the face! When has the business alliance suffered such a big loss, especially those Central and South countries that are about to surrender to the business alliance. The original statement has changed again, and some commercial agreements that are about to be signed have also been postponed under the pretext, apparently to see how the business alliance will deal with this invasion of the Kingdom of Antinac......

The commercial alliance was also unambiguous, on the one hand, it urgently transferred back the main legions of the Big Six from the central and southern parts of the continent, and on the other hand, it recruited nearly 100,000 troops within the territory to rush to Cambona Province to carry out rescue, hoping to stabilize the war situation. It's just that the luck of these 100,000 troops is very bad, when they first entered Cambona Province, they happened to run into three corps of the Flying Tiger Legion that completed the task of clearing the nobles of the territory of Puerto Org Province and went to the provincial capital of Cambona.

It is said that Tiger Ross was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and the reinforcements of the 100,000 business alliances looked like a big piece of fat falling from the sky in his eyes. The two armies launched a field battle on the spot, and as a result, the 100,000 troops of the commercial alliance, which was twice as large in number, were defeated by the Flying Tiger Legion, which was less than 50,000 people, with more than 20,000 dead in the battle, more than 60,000 prisoners, and less than 8,000 people who fled back. The Flying Tigers took the opportunity to invade the Marivia Province of the former Duchy of Rum, and the Business Alliance was once again shocked by the news of the defeat.

On the 23rd of June, Lorist set out from the royal city of Federiga with his battalion of guards to join the army of His Highness II and the armed legions of the families of the noble dukes. Psychologically speaking, Lorist really looks down on these guys whose combat effectiveness is really scum. Bodfinger reported that he had led the Rock Legion through the province of Cambona, only to find that the Grand Dukes were still gathered on the border of the two southwestern provinces, and that they were arguing over whose armed legions would be the vanguard of the attack on Cambona......

As for His Royal Highness, what should I say, he led the so-called blizzard raid corps to launch a surprise attack on the northwest region in winter, and it did catch the Grand Duke of Zturam off guard, but the problem is that after the Grand Duke of Zturam reacted, His Second Highness never got much benefit, not to mention the loss of troops, and finally brought a catapult to break through the castle where the Grand Duke of Zthuram lived, and as a result, the Grand Duke ran to another small castle on the cliff with his family and hundreds of cavalry to defend it.

His Royal Highness led his troops to surround the small castle on the cliff on three sides, and on the other side of the castle was the river under the cliff. Prepare to wait until the rainy season is over to settle the ledger with the Grand Duke of Zthuram, and you must hang the rebellion of this empire with your own hands. As a result, he finally survived the rainy season, and the catapult was brought in, and when he was about to attack the small castle on the cliff, the actions of the Grand Duke Zthuram who was besieged in the castle made His Royal Highness stupid.

The Grand Duke of Zturam made a lot of simple wooden boats from the wood collected in the castle, lowered the wooden boats on the cliff side of the river, and hung a rope ladder to send people to the boat. This result made His Royal Highness so angry that his nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes. He destroyed the Duchy of Zturam and conquered the Northwest Territories, but the Grand Duke of Zturam fled intact......

On July 11, 1787 in the universal calendar of the continent of Gelintea, the kingdom of Antinac assembled a million-strong army under the command of King Augercello I in the province of Cambona. From the border of the Armenian province of the commercial alliance to the territory of the Marivian province, the camp of the million-strong army of the Kingdom of Andinac stretched for nearly a hundred miles, and the flags fluttered to cover the sky. Everyone in the Business Alliance was in a state of terror, as if they had returned to the time when the Cresson Empire invaded the Plains of Mana Hill a hundred years ago.
