Chapter 837: The Situation of the War

On the night of the 21st of the year of the 515th year of the Fire Calendar, the slaves of the city of Twilight rose up and slaughtered all the nobles of the city, and the news spread the next day, burning all over the territory of Dogurand like wildfire.

Since the Sun King laid down the Iron Law, the slave class has been oppressed for thousands of years.

To this day, it is not unheard of that slaves have risen up, and there have been many slaves who could not stand the oppression of the aristocracy and chose to resist violently.

But in such an extraordinary world, the power of mortals was too small after all, and it was suppressed in an instant, without even making a splash.

And like this time, the nobles of the whole city were slaughtered, which has never been seen in the past thousand years.

For slaves elsewhere, in addition to shock, there was also a kind of restlessness.

Slaves were originally unable to raise their heads under the supernatural power system, but this time they heard firsthand about the power of extraterrestrial weapons, which not only shattered the myth of the invincibility of the transcendental, but also gave them an unprecedented courage.

The oppressed body of a slave may have become numb, but once the fire in his heart is ignited, it will become ready to move.

When the nobles heard about this, they reacted very differently, and some resorted to gentle means to appease their slaves, trying to extinguish their inner restlessness.

There are also some nobles who are furious and cannot tolerate these filthy animals attacking and killing their colleagues, and wantonly beat and even kill their slaves, wanting to continue their servility with an iron fist.

No matter how the nobles everywhere treated the slaves, they could not stop the rebels.

Following the twilight city, the rebels launched a surprise attack on the surrounding cities, and under Chino's personal command, the mechanized army crushed the royal army like lightning, and burned the battle to the entire province.

In order to improve the efficiency of the war, Chino did not allow slaves to be slaughtered in subsequent wars, and before attacking each city, he would issue an ultimatum asking the nobles and defenders in the city to give up resistance, and promising to be treated with dignity if they surrendered, and if they resisted, they would be dealt with according to the standards of Twilight.

At first, the cities either did not believe in Chino's assurances, or they were too confident in the city's solidity and chose to resist.

And when the rebels stormed the city with crushing equipment and the slaves' butcher's knives fell, these nobles also tasted the worst consequences of their lives.

Later, a city was surrendered under an ultimatum, and after the rebels entered the city, Chino explicitly forbade killing, and gave the nobles humane treatment as agreed, without embarrassing them.

After this extremely contrasting contrast spreads, it is like opening a reaction chain, where the rebel army must have resisted wherever it goes, and often enters the city without blood.

As the rebels continued to take over the cities, more and more local slaves were freed from the grip of the aristocracy, and many of them joined the rebels directly, willing to be trained to become part of the military force.

In this way, from the end of the Falling Season to the middle of the Frost Season, in just over half a month, the rebel army fully controlled the Beacon Province.

In terms of the size of the number of people, the rebel army has also expanded from tens of thousands to more than 200,000 people, and this is only the "front-line armed personnel" who have received military training, among which there are many old people, women, and children, who do not have the potential to become fighters, but are willing to devote themselves to the logistics line and contribute to the rebel army.

And those who hesitate for the time being, but from the perspective of their hearts, sooner or later will help the rebels, there are countless people.

The reason why the rebel army was able to expand its gains so quickly was inseparable from the current situation.

Andrew's first ascension to the throne was the same as when his father Pertheus was first crowned, because of the problem, there were many messes to deal with in the palace, and there was really not much energy.

In addition, the Troyin family collapsed too quickly, and I thought that gathering all the elites at Fengyun Pass would be able to besiege and kill Chino, but it was wiped out by someone backhanded, and the army of the entire Beacon Fire Province had no instructions from the Governor's Palace, so it naturally became a plate of scattered sand.

But now more than half a month has passed, the political situation in the palace has stabilized, and the civil and military ministers have witnessed the rise of the behemoth of the rebel army, and know that this is not a simple war problem, but a bloody class problem, and someone is going to reform their lives.

Therefore, even if there are some contradictions between ministers, they all choose to be unanimous at this time.

On the 12th of frost, the new king "Dorguland XXV" Andre issued a royal order, the whole territory of Dorguland entered a state of war, the rebel army was officially listed as a rebel, and the Helsing family who planned the rebellion was removed from the ranks of the royal family, and all the family members led by Chino were listed as traitors, and anyone who helped them would be held accountable.

At the same time, Andrei's massive war machine was finally in motion.

In addition to the troops left behind to maintain law and order, all 167 corps in the rest of the regular army were mobilized, 1.33 million active soldiers, plus 3.61 million reserves temporarily armed, a total of 4.94 million troops marched to the front line from the five major provinces to completely encircle the Beacon Province.

This must be a war that will go down in history, and its outcome will affect not only the ownership of the throne, but also the direction of the kingdom of Doguland and the world a hundred thousand years later.

...

The temporary headquarters of the rebel army was set up in Twilight, and Chino served as the command center of the entire army, from which all his orders were issued and transmitted to the troops everywhere.

At this time, Chino stood alone in the command room, staring at the sand table on the table.

After the royal army under Andrei surrounded the Beacon Province, it did not rush to attack, but steadily and steadily marched step by step, constantly encroaching on the border defense line of the rebel army, and local conflicts broke out from time to time, but they never put on a decisive battle situation.

This kind of calm style of play is not at all like a young man with strong blood, and it can also be seen that Andre is a very powerful opponent, and the city is very deep, after all, this is a ruthless character who can endure for more than 20 years and kill his father in the last move.

From the point of view of deployment, Andrei's intention is very simple, the royal army does not know enough about extraterrestrial weapons, and it is better to drag it out than to fight a decisive battle.

As the eastern barrier of Dogulland, the Beacon Province has a steep terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it has never been a major grain production area, and various natural resources are also very expensive.

No matter how large the number of rebels and how well equipped they are, they are all open mouths, they all need to eat, and it is about to enter winter, and the logistical problems will only get worse.

As long as the kingdom army maintains the blockade as it does now, and does not let any supplies in, it is more than enough to drag down the barren Beacon Province with the wealth of the whole territory of Dogurand, so Andrei is not in a hurry at all.

There is nothing wrong with this style of play in conventional warfare, but Andrei completely misjudged a point, his opponent this time is not extraordinary...

In front of the sand table, Chino's gaze moved slightly to the side, and countless streams of light converged in front of him, which was the triple shackles of respect, fear, and awe shining brightly.
