As the stars fade away as dawn comes, the sun's rays rising from the sea level spread over the calm sea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ospreys skimmed across the sea to begin a new day of predation, and outside the port of Yingge, a fleet began to slowly move westward, heading towards the south coast of the empire.

The 2,000 heavily armed soldiers who rushed over from Seagull Harbor stayed in Yingge Harbor to maintain order, patiently waiting for the arrival of the transport ship in the harbor.

They needed to make sure that the nearly 9,000 people were sent to the Far East without any trouble, after all, there were quite a few people here, if they caused trouble.

The consequences were still very serious, and Lin Ye wrote a letter for people to take back to the Far East, explaining the method of resettlement of these captives, and Yu Fei was responsible for it.

He himself began to plot strategies related to the southern front in the fleet, and now the Demok Federation is constantly increasing its forces to the north.

If you want to fight against a regular army of 80,000 people, with the current military strength of the empire, this is a very difficult thing, let alone make up 80,000 regular troops.

Even if 80,000 local troops were scraped together, they would not be able to make up them, and the Western Front was still facing the threat of 100,000 Bright Expeditionary Force, which together approached 200,000.

This is a very staggering number in any period of the empire, and now the Federation army is attacking fiercely, and Wren's border army has suffered heavy losses.

"Now Wren has gathered his strength to defend Alpine City, but Green, in addition to the strong attack, he has detoured back to various parts of the Steel Rock Province, and now most of the Steel Rock Province has fallen, this is not a good momentum, if it continues like this, they will be able to take the High Mountain City in half a month at most. ”

Lin Ye had just received a new battle report, and several cities in the Steel Rock Province had fallen, after all, Wren had no way to defend all the cities.

He could only choose to focus on the defense of the strategically prominent mountain city, and take advantage of the dangerous terrain to strangle the throat of the federal army to the north.

If the Federation army bypasses Alpine City and goes north, leaving Wren alone, then he will definitely go south to raid and disrupt the rear of the Federation army, making it difficult for him to sleep.

"If Gaoshan City falls, then the Tiebi Province will be directly exposed to the troops of the Federation Army, with the current situation of the Tiebi Province, it will be difficult to resist the impact of the Federation Army, so that they can drive straight to the royal capital, surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, it is not a joke, it is really not good. ”

Cruf looked at the map beside Lin Ye, and he had already read the battle report that had just been delivered, although there were only a few words on the letter.

But through the thin paper, you can smell the rich murderous intent that spreads from it, and the mountain city has almost reached the point of exhaustion.

It was only thanks to Wren's extraordinary perseverance and brutal skill that he was struggling to survive, and the soldiers in the city were severely attritional, and they could not be replenished.

In comparison, the Federation Army has always been a complete establishment of 80,000 people, and it is not easy for Alpine City to hold out until now.

"Both the province of Ironwall and the royal capital had been through war not long ago, the walls were in tatters, and it was difficult to recruit enough young men to defeat the Federation army on a frontal battlefield, at least in theory, I can't think of a way to defeat them. ”

Lin Ye put the stones on the map, the number of stones represents the number of legions, he has indeed fought a lot of battles before.

And in the end, it ended in victory, and I had the last laugh, but I fought against a regular army of 80,000 people.

He didn't think he could defeat his opponent by faith alone, so he fell into thought for a while, and was silent for a long time without speaking.

"Well, don't you even have a way to defeat them, sir, and no one will be able to defeat them, but even so, we will fight to the death to defend the royal capital until the last breath, my lord, since we can't defeat them, we should not go south and west now, but go to the royal capital." ”

Crouff originally had some hopes, after all, he had followed the young duke for so long, and how many times he had been in an unfavorable situation and finally turned the tables.

But soon he calmed down and thought about it, no matter how powerful the Duke is, after all, he is not a god, and he can't conjure up an army out of nothing to fight.

It is already a very incredible thing to be able to pacify the northern front and the eastern front one after another, and we cannot ask for more.

At the same time, he also questioned that since he knew that he could not hold it, instead of going to the frontline battlefield to take risks, it was better to return to the royal capital as soon as possible to arrange defenses.

"If it is a frontal battle, there is really no chance, but what if it is used in other ways? The war competition has never been a simple battle of the number of troops, but involves many fields of economy and diplomacy, and the current federal army is indeed as powerful as a bamboo, and the offensive is powerful. ”

Lin Ye's gaze began to move down from the map, all the way to the narrow strip of land that was only one-third the size of the empire.

"If Green breaks through the royal capital in one fell swoop, then he will become the next Speaker of the Federal Senate of Dermok with immortal merits, and his father Speaker Taaffe also made him the commander-in-chief of the Federal Army for this purpose, which is simply to gild him. ”

"It may not sound nice to say that the gilded is a little bit, Green has indeed shown extraordinary command ability during this march to the north, and is an excellent military commander, but Taaffe has been sitting on the Speaker's throne for more than thirty years, and if Green is allowed to sit for more than thirty years......"

"Do those who have an infinite thirst for power be willing to let this country, which is famous for its democracy and freedom, be held by a father and son for decades? ”

After Lin Ye was silent for a long time, his eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light, and his gaze was fixed on the map of the territory of the Dermok Federation.

"If you count the time, they should be almost there, if all goes well, we will be at our destination in three days, and what will happen in the next week will determine the survival of the entire empire, no, maybe not more, even the fate of the Demok Federation will be revealed. ”

Lin Ye looked away from the map and looked at the sea, which made Crouff completely confused, not knowing what his idea was.

"My lord, what's coming? I don't even know what you're talking about, aren't we going to Takayama Castle?"

Crouff was full of doubts, always feeling that he could not keep up with the young duke's train of thought, and was completely confused about the rest of the journey.

"The ship that picked us up has arrived, right over there, Alpine City? What's the point of us going there? Is it standing on the city wall to defend it? If you want to win the war, you should let the right people be in the right place, so now I should be in the right place, not the battlefield, but Liberty City!"

Lin Ye looked at a merchant ship that appeared on the sea, it was a ship that had agreed to pick him up.
