Chapter 163: A War That Awakens the World
The demon army of the Blackstone Continent, after taking the Rock Fortress, divided into three routes and marched towards the alliance's various bases in the Blackstone Continent.
Although the commander of the Rock Fortress Alliance garrison had already issued a warning to the Alliance command on the Blackstone Continent before he was killed.
However, due to the rush of time and the fact that the alliance headquarters of the Blackstone Continent had no extra troops to mobilize, the demon army captured most of the alliance strongholds on the Blackstone Continent within two days.
Just as the alliance was scrambling for the collapse of the defense system of the Blackstone Continent, another army of the Abyss Demon, without any warning, raided the forward military fortress of the Yasen continent, Forts of Tarington, and also completely annihilated the defenders of the fortress.
The demonic army numbered more than 2 million people, and they attacked the fortress of Tarington in the middle of the night, and the 125,000 defenders of the fortress, along with the legendary commander of the fortress, were all killed by the demonic army.
After this news came out, the whole other world was in an uproar.
The alliance side has lost the frontier fortresses of two continents in a row, and the situation on the Blackstone continent is even more serious!
At present, the demonic army is about to approach the alliance headquarters of the Blackstone Continent, where there are only less than 80,000 alliance troops, guarding the cross-border teleportation array of the alliance side of the Blackstone Continent.
In desperation, the joint command headquarters of the alliance side had to order the 220,000 remnants of the troops on the Black Market Continent to use the teleportation array to evacuate the Blackstone Continent in order to preserve the remnants of the army, and at the same time, the alliance headquarters began to urgently expand the army in the areas ruled by the major gods.
The situation suddenly became grim, the demon was already on the bright side, and more than eight million troops were deployed on the three continents at the same time, so it would be difficult for the alliance side to gather such a huge military force for a while.
For this reason, the agents of the various churches argued in a joint meeting, and there were great differences of opinion on what to do next, and finally in the evening, with the best efforts of the agents of the Odd Church, a unified response plan was finally come up.
The meeting decided that in the current situation, the alliance should first take a defensive position, and immediately strengthen the defense forces in the forward fortresses of each battlefield, and wait for its own defense to be stabilized, and then gather forces to recapture the continent occupied by the demons.
Fortunately, after occupying all the alliance strongholds on the Blackstone Continent, the demonic army did not continue to expand its power, but put on a defensive posture, and the same is true in the Yasen Continent.
The demon army that had captured the fortress of Tarington had only established a tight defensive line around it and then stood still, giving the impression that it was clearly going to be defended on the spot.
The alliance side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that the demon army did not continue to act, and they agreed that although the demon party's move was a bit strange, the demon army also lost a good opportunity to attack.
However, what they didn't know was that two large teleportation arrays were being built on the edge of these two occupied military fortresses.
It is estimated that it will not be long before these two large teleportation arrays will be built, and then the demon side will get a steady stream of reinforcements directly teleported from another time and space!
The time soon came to the beginning of February, and the alliance finally took advantage of the opportunity of the demon army to stop attacking, tripled the defense force of its various battlefields, and was raising an army of millions to prepare for a deadly attack on the demon defenders of the Yasen continent.
But before the alliance could formulate a specific plan of action, a war that took place in the central region of the world, on a very ordinary continent, woke up all the upper echelons of the other world, and they suddenly found that they had to make changes!
On February 5th, the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, early in the morning.
On the eastern border of the Flowing Gold Kingdom, located in the central and eastern part of the Venus Continent in the central region, a mighty army of conquests, led by the Grand Duke of the Western Obsidian Empire, Sandra Chino, entered the border of the Flowing Gold Kingdom.
This army of 1.7 million people was jointly sent by all the factions of the Obsidian Empire after bargaining and determining the interests of all parties.
For this battle to destroy the country, all parties in Obsidian are full of strong self-confidence!
After all, the wealthy and medium-sized country on the other side, the Liujin Kingdom, the total army of the whole country is only more than 800,000.
And this time, the number of troops dispatched by the Obsidian Empire was twice that of the entire Liujin Kingdom, and under the command of the battle-hardened Grand Duke of the West, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Liujin Kingdom were absolutely vulnerable.
What's more, in this army, there are more than twenty-five powerful big professionals, and almost all the high-level professionals of the Obsidian Empire have joined this war, and in the whole of the Flowing Gold Kingdom, there is only one captain of the guard of the young king, who is a big professional who is more than eleventh rank.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that the entire army of the Obsidian Empire Expeditionary Force is full of confidence in this war, especially Grand Duke Sandra Chino himself, who is even more high-spirited.
This was the most important expedition he had led in his more than forty years of military career, and by the time he eliminated the Gouge Kingdom and turned it into the Obsidian Empire's Molten Province, his prestige and power would undoubtedly rise to a higher level, enough to dominate the Empire.
After crossing the border of the Flowing Gold Kingdom, the army marched along the main road.
Along the way, except for some harassment from Sparse Lala, there was no army of the Flowing Gold Kingdom at all, which dared to stop this huge army, let alone fight against this large army.
An army of more than a million people, made up of ordinary civilians, is naturally moving very slowly.
As a qualified commander, Grand Duke Sandra Chino certainly knew how to conserve the physical strength of his soldiers, and he strictly enforced the rule of resting for half an hour every thirty kilometers to ensure that his army had enough physical strength to fight at any time.
One day after entering the Molten Gold Kingdom, the Obsidian Empire's army finally approached Montapili, the third largest city in the Molten Gold Kingdom and the closest city to the border.
The army only had to follow the main road, through a thirty-mile-long gorge, to see the rich city.
After hearing this news, the morale of the whole army immediately rose, because this would be the first good opportunity for them to make a fortune after entering the Flowing Gold Kingdom, and everyone was holding back their strength and preparing to do a good job in Montapili!
The army stopped to rest for a while before entering the canyon, and Sandra Chino sent outposts to search the high ground on both sides of the canyon.
Sure enough, as he expected, the Flowing Gold Kingdom did not dare to send troops to fight him at all, even in this excellent ambush location, it did not have the courage to ambush him.
After receiving a report from the scout sentries returning from the front, Grand Duke Sandra Chino ordered the whole army to march into the Grand Canyon called Colima.
The road in the middle of the canyon was very wide, so the imperial army widened the marching queue and formed a marching column of ten people, so that the length of the entire army was only a dozen miles, which was very convenient for dealing with sudden attacks.
All went well, and after the army had walked more than twenty miles, the vanguard was about to leave the gorge and enter the plain in front of the city of Montapili.
However, what they never expected was that the entire army of the 700,000 Flowing Gold Kingdom was ambushed on the high ground on both sides of the canyon in the second half of the canyon at this time, and the army of the Obsidian Empire had now completely and completely entered their encirclement!
George Ben Conlida, the sixteen-year-old king of the Kingdom of Liujin, was holding a military telescope and observing the obsidian army marching on the avenue below.
Due to the trees and grasses on both sides of the avenue, it was very easy for the army of the Flowing Gold Kingdom to set up an ambush on both sides without being detected by the army below.
The armies in ambush on both sides were at least 500 meters away from the main road below, which was still within the range of the soldiers equipped with pin-fired guns, but the accuracy was probably much worse.
However, because the obsidian army below was lined up in a column of ten people, it increased the effect of the soldiers' shooting, and they only needed to aim at the enemy's crowd and shoot directly!
George continued to explore through his binoculars, and finally he found the target he had been looking for, Grand Duke Sandra Chino, the commander of the Obsidian Empire.
As a qualified soldier, the Grand Duke himself did not stay in the sedan chair, but rode a five-meter-high elephant and walked slowly beside the marching columns.
George immediately said to the guards beside him.
"Inform the snipers that I want the first elephant rider to be killed, and as soon as their guns go off, all the musketeers will open fire!"
The order was quickly conveyed to the location of the sniper's ambush, and an instructor from the Ming Empire was a little uneasy, and after directly removing his special sniper rifle from his back, he said to the snipers of the Flowing Gold Kingdom beside him.
"Follow my gunshot, and you will shoot together after my gunfire goes off!"
This time, the grand duke was directly sentenced to death!
As a great professional of the twelfth order, Grand Duke Sandra Chino was alert the moment he was targeted, and he was just about to turn his head to look in the direction from his intuition, when a loud gunshot rang out from the woods to the south!
The Grand Duke himself was blown off his head by this shot at this moment, and his skull!
With this gunshot, a dense burst of gunfire rang out in an instant on the high ground on both sides of the entire canyon!
The Obsidian army was blinded by the sudden indiscriminate gunfire in a very short period of time, and almost all the soldiers were at this moment, seeing the team members around them constantly being shot and falling to the ground, and they had no idea what was happening.
Fortunately, there were still a large number of experienced officers of all ranks in the army, who began to chant at the moment of attack.
"Enemy attack, pay attention to dodge bows and arrows!"
However, apparently no bows and arrows were coming, and the officers realized that the soldiers around them were being killed by an unknown long-range weapon, and that the attackers were obviously from the high ground on both sides of the avenue.
All the experienced officers felt that this was not the way to go on at this time, and it was too late to wait for the commander's order, so these experienced officers began to spontaneously organize their subordinates and rush to the high ground on both sides.
An archmage of the Obsidian Empire emerged from a carriage at this moment, and he first quickly blessed himself with a defensive spell that could deflect long-range attacks, and then began to chant a spell, preparing to cast a spell on the high ground, forcing the ambushers on the opposite side with a large area of fire spells.
Before he could finish his incantation, he was discovered by more than a dozen snipers, and naturally became the target of their fire, and after more than a dozen gunshots, the archmage was directly shot into a sieve!
He died full of questions about why his protective magic didn't work!
Under the attack of 370,000 rifles, in just over ten minutes, it brought huge casualties to the 1.7 million army of the Obsidian Empire, at least 600,000 obsidian officers and soldiers were killed and wounded to the ground, and the charge organized by those officers was also completely dispersed!
The obsidian army, which had lost its commander, gradually began to be unable to support itself without receiving orders for half a day, and after the people around them continued to die, the remaining soldiers finally lost their courage and fled in the direction from which their army came.
The Obsidian's army has completely collapsed!
Seeing that the enemy began to break and flee, the young king George gave the order for a general attack.
"Attack with all your troops!"
In this environment, trying to escape from an ambush circle that is about fifteen miles long is basically an impossible act of success!
During this period of time, there were also many officers of the Obsidian Empire who, after discovering this result, instigated their subordinates and launched a dozen counter-charges against the musketeers of the Flowing Gold Kingdom who rushed down!
But when they finally rushed through the rain of bullets and saw that they were about to engage the other party, they were attacked by grenades from the army of the Liujin Kingdom, and they lost most of their troops in an instant, and then they were swarmed by the infantry behind the musketeers on the opposite side, and soon annihilated all these counter-charge teams!
At this time, the obsidian army on the entire avenue was already in chaos!
When these soldiers finally found themselves surrounded by groups, the remaining soldiers of the Obsidian Empire, who had lost their last hope, finally began to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy one after another, surrendering to the army of the Liujin Kingdom!
The entire battle took only an hour and fifteen minutes, and the Flowing Gold Kingdom ended this beautiful ambush battle with the glorious record of completely annihilating the army of the Obsidian Empire!
Two hours after the battle, the young king, George Ben Conlida, listened to the post-war summary report of the captain of his palace guard.
"Your Majesty, first of all, please allow the first to congratulate you on this great victory that you have won in your own expedition that is enough to be passed on to the world!"
"According to our statistics, in this kind of battle, our army killed and wounded more than 960,000 officers and soldiers of the Obsidian Empire, and captured more than 730,000 Obsidian Empire soldiers. Among them, twenty-five high-ranking professionals who came with the army were all killed, and our country no longer has to worry about the threat of the Obsidian Empire! ”
George used all his strength to barely suppress his excitement, and then said to the captain of his palace guard.
"Thank you, Nicholas! Without your support, I think it would be difficult for me to achieve the final victory in this battle! ”
Court Captain Nicholas said humbly.
"You're too much of a prize, what I've done personally is completely insignificant, but what do we do with these prisoners of war?"
George replied without any hesitation.
"Issue an ultimatum to the Obsidian Empire, ordering them to take out five million gold talon as a ransom for these people, and if they don't give it, they will all be sent to the gold mines to work as slaves!"
"Also, let the construction team we invited to speed up the construction, and after our cross-border teleportation array is completed, I will personally go to the Saturn continent to visit my idol Emperor Wen Jiming, I want to thank him in person, and at the same time, I also want to ask him for advice, how to become a great monarch like him!"
"If you wish, my honorable majesty!"
Three days later, the news that the Obsidian Empire's 1.7 million army had been wiped out by the Flowing Gold Kingdom was three times the strength of its own army, began to spread around the world!
The whole other world is shocked!
As time went on, the details of this battle slowly became known to the world, and then all the people in the other world understood an extremely cruel reality!
The era of cold weapons is over!
Intermediate and high-level professionals have completely lost their advantages in the face of hot weapons!
That is, senior professionals above the legend can use their strength and will not be too helpless in front of hot weapons.
Times have finally changed!
The other world was completely awakened by this cruel war!
The third epoch of the prophet's mouth, the new era of law, has finally arrived!
Soon some scholars began to try to name this era, and they temporarily called this era the industrial era, but there are still many people who name this era as the future era after the Ming Church!
