Chapter 614: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
While the citizens of the royal capital were still immersed in the joy of the end of the war, and had not yet woken up from their sleep, a large number of soldiers began to leave the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
These soldiers were divided into three parts, one of which was personally commanded by Lin Ye, and quickly rushed towards the northern storm fortress to rush to the aid of Marquis Campbell.
The other part is commanded by Wren, who leads the border army south and will defend the southern border of the empire against the invasion of the federal forces of the Dmok Federation.
As for the third part, it was led by Lancelot, a close confidant of Lin Ye, who consolidated the cavalry troops and headed for the western frontier of the empire.
The center of the Church of Light has gathered a large expeditionary force on the Holy City, and marched towards the Empire in the name of the "War of Light".
The invading armies of these three parties together will approach the 200,000 mark, of which the elven army in the north plus the auxiliary troops is about 20,000, the federal army in the south is about 80,000, and as for the expeditionary force gathered by the Church of Light, the number is the largest, close to 100,000.
Of course, only a small percentage of these 100,000 people are professional soldiers, and the vast majority of them are fanatical believers in the Church of Light, who are not afraid of death.
Even an empire in its heyday would find it difficult to deal with such a large-scale invasion calmly, let alone the fact that its strength has been damaged after the civil war.
As for the enemy's huge fleet from the East China Sea, the Far East Fleet went to meet it, but according to intelligence, the enemy's attack was too fierce.
The Combined Fleet, which brought together several overseas nations, numbered more than 500 ships, a hopelessly suffocating number.
The new Emperor Wendy signed an order overnight appointing Magellan as the new commander of the Imperial East Sea Fleet, and united the Far East Fleet to attack, but the total number of warships of the Imperial East Sea Fleet plus the Far East Fleet was less than eighty, and it was really difficult to meet a fleet more than six times the number of his own.
Breaking through the Imperial defense line on any of these four sides and driving straight into it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction that will cause all defense lines to collapse and the consequences will be serious.
And once they see the possibility of breaking the empire, they will continue to increase their troops, dragging the exhausted empire into the quagmire of war.
The empire is not far from the day of destruction, which is the number one problem in front of the empire, like a slap on the heads of the major nobles.
The people are still unaware of this, and they are thinking about how they will work and live a new life when spring comes.
But they don't know that it is very likely that before the end of spring, their hopes will come to naught, and the reality is always hopeless.
"Hey, hey, hey, have they already left the royal capital? This city that has been taken down with great difficulty will eventually become our bag, I really don't know how that little ghost will feel if he knows that he is just making wedding clothes for us, will he cry?"
"He cleared the obstacles for us, we should really thank him, now the main force of the army has been transferred out of the royal capital to go to the various borders to support, the royal capital is empty, the time has come for us to show our strength, it has been dormant for so many years and finally ushered in this exciting moment. ”
"This is something that the old guy Gomez never expected, he used to suppress us and not allow us to act rashly, saying that under the trend of the times, the old party is gone forever, and we must adapt to the times, in my opinion, he is simply making excuses for his cowardice. ”
"We did what he couldn't do, this is enough to prove that we are much stronger than that old guy, as long as we take the royal capital in one fell swoop, we can take the opportunity to sweep the surrounding area of the royal capital, include this large territory into our territory in one fell swoop, and then join forces with the rest of the party, hehe. ”
"The era that belongs to us is finally coming, this is really exciting, get ready to act, destroy everything completely, the empire is completely finished, we will usher in a new era, we have been dormant underground for so many years, for this moment!"
A group of black-robed men stood on the bell tower in the royal capital and watched the army out of the city, they showed an excited expression, the time they had been waiting for was finally ripe, for which they had been preparing for many years, and even in the war to capture the royal capital, they also made a great effort, but at that time they made an agreement with Layton.
The reward they asked for was only a small territory, but it was just a rhetoric, how could the desire that had been buried for more than 20 years be filled by a small territory, they asked for more, they wanted the entire empire, to completely restore the old dynasty!
"I'm relieved to see you like this, I don't know if you're interested in going to have tea with Duke Ben. ”
At this time, someone quietly walked up to the bell tower, and Lin Ye looked at the group of black-robed people with a smile and put on a posture that he had been waiting for for a long time.
"What's going on, how did you end up here? Didn't you just see you out of town, and how did you find out where we were?"
Seeing Lin Ye's appearance, the black-robed man in the lead was taken aback, and he immediately looked down at the bell tower, where they had arranged for guards to stand guard under the bell tower.
I didn't expect it to be so easy for people to break through, and Lin Ye didn't come here alone, he brought a large number of soldiers to surround him.
"If you don't make a show to let you see me out of the city, how can you show up so easily, Prime Minister Gomez made it very clear that the old party has been abandoned by the times, and I hope you will conform to the times, but why don't you listen to his advice and do such a stupid thing?"
Lin Ye shook his head, he had always been clear about the old party's actions in secret, but he was not in a hurry at that time.
"This is impossible, our actions are so secretive, how did you find us, and even if you catch us, it's useless, hmph, we have been operating in the royal capital for many years, and the power is more than you imagined, even if you arrest us, you can't stop the sad ending!"
"That's right, our people have already acted, and soon you will be trembling on the ground and begging for mercy, and you will be one step too late. ”
"This will be the era of our rise, people like you who have no brains are destined to be eliminated by the times, we are the winners, you are doomed. ”
These black-robed people didn't panic too much because of Lin Ye's appearance, they were too confident, even to such a point, they still believed that they had an absolute advantage and could turn the situation around at any time.
"If you're referring to the assassins and strongholds you have planted, they've been uprooted by me, and it's not easy to run them for so many years, and as for why you and these strongholds were found, do you think Gomez didn't leave this hand behind before leaving? ”
"Gatling. Take them all. ”
Lin Ye waved his hand lightly, and the soldier immediately stepped forward to arrest someone.
