1292 Ambition of the Imperial Constellation III

On the east coast of Normandy, the blue waves are like shadows, and the white waves crash on the messy black reef on the shore, as if they have never changed for hundreds of millions of years, no matter how the four seasons of the continent change, the sea always has an inclusive attitude, so that human beings feel very small, and the morning sun is exceptionally beautiful, sprinkled on the quiet sea surface of the port of Belle, gilding the sea with a faint golden light.

The towering clock tower is particularly quiet in the morning mist, and the continuous marina berths are almost invisible. The port of Bérouille is the largest deep-water port on the eastern coast of Normandy, with nine deep-water berths, broken weapons in some places, and blood stains on the aisle floor

In the southernmost berth, there are dozens of huge five-mast transport ships.

The towering mast is more than 20 meters long, and a large group of soldiers get down from the transport ship, the special red armor of the Salander army, which reflects a faint color in the morning sun, mixed with the dense personnel, and a large number of weapons and equipment are unloaded in bundles, including some heavy weapons such as heavy Thor, and war horses that pull cannons. It was also driven off the deck of the ship, and there was a hissing on the dock.

On one of the largest transport ships, as the baffle fell, a beautiful woman in red armor and a blond shawl, surrounded by several Salander generals, stepped down from the transport ship, the red armor clinging to her figure, outlining a vigorous and graceful beauty, the sun shining on her blonde hair, shining a red luster, like a flame jumping

Eyes swept over the desolate and small harbor in front of her, and Nielai's heart was faintly touched, it was here that the ferocious Normandy invaders boarded their ships and launched a cruel war of plunder against the beautiful Salad, and their lives were devastated. The earth is bloody, and it has only been two years, and now, Salander's footsteps have finally fallen on the land of the Normans, is this a kind of karmic reincarnation?

Nilai saw that from the bottom of the harbor, an old general of Salander with several young generals approached, the old general's pale silver hair stood up like the tip of a needle, and the signature ring hair hoop on his forehead was inlaid with a huge ruby, with a feeling of old and strong, it was the Duke of Ode, the forward general who was in charge of occupying the port yesterday, "Grand Duke of Ode!" Nilai saluted the old general who came over. Ning Sheng said, "The old duke took the port of Belluille in one fell swoop, opening the passage for the landing of the army, and Nilai is here to thank the old duke on behalf of the whole army!" "It is not difficult to take down the defenseless Beruye, but this strategic plan makes me feel even more admired!" The old duke of Russia and Germany responded with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I'm afraid the Normans never dreamed that the Salanders, who they regarded as the most incompetent, would one day take them as the object of conquest! But before that, I have a promise to fulfill!" "Promise?" Nielai's face froze for a moment. "Yes, a promise that I once didn't believe even I would fulfill!" the Archduke of Russia's eyes flashed with an inexplicable glow, as if the meeting was full of pain, and suddenly under the stunned gaze of everyone. With a reverent face, he knelt down on one knee to Nilai, "I, Odegangsas, swear by this vast sea, from this day on, my Ode family will be a vassal of the Grand Duchess of Nilai!" You're ......."

Nielai's face changed slightly, and she stood there a little helpless, even though Nielai was the nominal leader of the Northern Alliance of Salander. However, as one of the grand dukes of the north for decades, both in fame and strength, are above Nilai, and the faces of several nobles who follow Nilai also changed slightly, and it is the tradition of the Salander people to swear by the sea, and it is also the strictest oath. "Old Duke, why are you doing this?, strictly speaking, Nilai is your junior! This is really ......!" Nilai Leng took a moment before he hurriedly stepped forward and generously and decently helped up Ode, who had just completed his oath,

"No, my thanks are sincere!" To Nilai's surprise, the old duke Ode, who had always had a smooth personality, had an extremely stern expression at this time, and he raised his resolute face and said, "When I first heard the news that I was in the hills of Xiling and that my two sons had died in battle on the front line, I swore that if anyone could let me set foot in the land of these Normandy demons and bring them to us Salander people, and return them tenfold and hundredfold, my Ode family would be willing to serve him as the lord,

Ode's voice with a painful face stopped, and said, "But even I, who made the oath, thought that this oath could not be fulfilled, because even if we fought off the Normans with great difficulty, it would be difficult to cross this boundless sea, but Nilai, it was you who gave me the opportunity to fulfill this vow, so that even if I die, I can close my eyes without regrets, as for the unruly son I left in Salander, I have given him the same instructions, and I believe that he will support this decision!" The old duke......"

A hint of imperceptible ruddy flashed in Nilai's eyes, the 64-year-old Duke of Ode, said this in a tone more like explaining his last words, it is obvious that Ode set foot on this enemy land with a mortal revenge, from the eyes of these whole team of soldiers walking in front of him, it can be seen that there are not a few people who have the same mind as him, this is the blood of revenge is burning, this is the precursor of bloody rain

The 14,000 Salander Northern Army that set off from Port Vic, except for the 5,000 people under the command of Nilai, are all spontaneously formed by the northern lords, most of these lords have a blood feud with the Normans, although the main occupation area of the Normans was in the south, but in order to complete the strategic deployment of the north and south to attack the center, Cavibod sent three of the seven generals under his command to land in the northern territory of Salander,

In just 2 months, with the brutal purge tactics unique to the Normans, the cavalry of Goshawk Avize pierced through the entire northern part of Salander, and the northern coalition army lost its armor and suffered heavy casualties, even the grand duke like Nilai's father could not avoid the fate of dying in battle, and the fate of the other small lords could be imagined, if it weren't for the sudden intervention of the Marquis of Vic, who was pretended to be a fat man, the strategy of the Normans to flank the north and south, or it had been successful

Walking into the conference room of the port, some of the lords who had arrived early were already waiting, and the news of the annexation of Russia and Germany in the port had obviously reached here, and some lords were whispering to each other with strange faces. Some people's faces are very depressed, some are very hesitant and confused,

The submission of the Russian-German family. Basically, it means the submission of the largest local power in the north of Salander, everyone knows that just one Nilai will never let a sophisticated guy like Russia and Germany be willing to be vassals, Russia and Germany actually succumb to the empire behind Nilai, and now everyone needs to consider, whether the north of Salander can still be independent?

Saw Nella come in. Everyone hurriedly suppressed their voices, there was a faint hint of fear in their eyes, and in the silent air, Nilai took a general look, most of the lords had arrived, except for a few people from the Envit faction,

"This bastard!

Nilai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her white fingers clenched together, Envit had been united since the beginning. Although the Envit faction has a close relationship with the business alliance within the empire, the Northern Alliance represented by Nilai generally has the strength to oppress the business alliance. So Envit has always done his own thing, and he doesn't take Nilai very seriously.

Nilai also once told the fat man about this situation, and the fat man just smiled faintly. Disapprovingly, he said, "Although Envit is not very obedient, he is the representative of the commercial faction in the Northern Alliance, and he is kept." It can form a constraint on the local old-school forces, and you can rely on your status to achieve checks and balances between the two, and weakening Envit too much is not a good thing for you, in fact, he is just a small fish in a pool, do you need to deal with him? As the princess of the empire, if you really want to clean him up, it's just a matter of moving your fingers!"

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Nilai took the map of Normandy from the guard behind her, spread it out on the long table in the conference room, and said, "Now let's start arranging combat missions, this time our target is the core area of Normandy, Amara!" ......

Standing on the seashore, Jagrin looked a little anxious as if he wanted to cross the sea directly, and he ordered three huge fires to be lit on the beach, and marked the convoy on the sea with black plumes of smoke.

The brilliance of the sun wheel on the horizon is a little faint, but the fire-like light still dyes the sky and the sea red, everyone is anxiously waiting for the arrival of the transport fleet, and the time passes in a second, "There won't be any accidents today, right?"

Now every moment and every second is crucial for the expeditionary force that is isolated from overseas, the main Normandy forces continue to gather at the Silver Sparrow Pass, and by the time they leave the Silver Sparrow Hill front, the number of Normandy troops has reached 30,000 again, and some new local lords' banners have joined in.

In this situation, from the already tense forward front, another one-third of the troops were transferred to be responsible for rear transportation, and the plan was so bold that even a bold guy like Jargrin felt a little depressed and hesitant in his heart.

Both of them are front-line commanders with extremely rich combat experience, and they both know very well that the suspicious tactics adopted by Reposti may be able to temporarily hold off the Normans for a while, but as long as a certain time limit is exceeded, the other party will see the abnormality.

No one can ambush tens of thousands of troops on low bush mountain roads for two days, without seeing a trace, once the Normans find that there are only 10,000 people in front of them, or somewhere in advance to show their horses' feet, the 10,000 expeditionary force left in the Silver Bird Hill, they must face the fierce attack of the Normandy army of 30,000, the military situation is like a rope burning on the flame, time, is becoming an invisible line of life and death in the eyes of the entire expeditionary force, no one knows when, it will break

"Do you want me to pray to the so-called god of the sea like that fool of Reposti?"

Yaglins, who had never believed in any gods, looked at the sky with a reverent face, and muttered at the corner of his mouth, "Cloudless, blue sky and blue sea, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it can bring unfortunate weather!" Look at the sea!" A guard shouted happily next to him, Yagrin quickly turned his head, and sure enough, in the direction of the guard's finger, a row of small black dots appeared on the sea level, "Order the troops to assemble, the transport fleet is coming!" Jagrin excitedly ordered loudly, and the soldiers in the east and west on the beach were also suddenly in chaos, and 5,000 expeditionary soldiers stood in accordance with their respective squadrons, and dozens of simple pulley landing gears made of metal were lined up on the beach.

The fleet in the distance, facing the wind and waves, swung a neatly rolling white line from the bow of the ship, rushing towards the beach where black smoke was rising

"Something doesn't seem right!" Soon, Jargrin felt like he had been poured cold water, and as the black dots gradually became clear, he realized that the number of transports arriving this time was less than ten, and judging from the sharp bow of the ship that broke through the waves in front. It's not a heavy-tonnage transport ship seen before, but ten Dragon's Tooth battleships

"Bastard, what's the situation!"

Jarrins angrily punched the solid cliff wall next to him, what kind of joke, what are the Admiralty sending these Dragon's Tooth ships to do? Sail from land, all the way over? Nonsense!

"Bang Bang!"

Just as he was annoyed, the ten Dragon's Tooth warships near the beach dock began to slow down, and the sails quickly turned into half-sails, and finally all of them were lowered. Stopped in the shallow water in front of the beach, the bow of the ship plunged into the sand in front of it with the heavy waves, and soon, a middle-aged captain came down from the upper deck

"Who's in charge here?" said the middle-aged captain who had come down looked left and right. asked loudly

"I, Yagrins! Deputy Commander of the Expeditionary Force" Yagrin stepped forward and held out a friendly hand to the middle-aged captain, who he saw with four silver stars on his shoulders. The identity of this person is the commander of a certain detachment of the Navy, and although he is inferior to himself in terms of identity, he is also a senior officer of the Navy

"Hello. Your Excellency!" the middle-aged captain hurriedly straightened up, gave a military salute to Yagrins, and said, "The commander of the Third Fleet of the Imperial Navy, Attorney Effinger, reports to you."

"Report?" Jagrin was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows completely twisted together,

From today onwards, the Third Squadron will be responsible for the logistics and supply of the expeditionary force," Si Fingeranger looked at Jaglins's confused face, and hurriedly took out an order letter with the seal of the Ministry of Military Affairs from his pocket and handed it to Jaglins

Yagrin hurriedly took the order, his eyes swept over, his face was dumbfounded, and after a while, he still asked with some disbelief, "Is this true? Our reinforcements have landed in the port of Belluille a day ago?" "There is no need to question this, because it is our Third Fleet that is responsible for escorting the landing!" Si Efenger smiled at the corner of his mouth and said. The main goal of this reinforcement is to penetrate directly into Amara, which is only 30 miles away from the landing site, where the largest grain depot of the Normans is located, as long as the supply line of Ammanra is cut off, the Normandy army will have to turn into a defensive state, I believe that at this moment, the main army of the Normans has begun to withdraw in a panic!" "Then what about our mission?" Jaglins secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if the situation is true, the predicament of Silver Sparrow Hill is equivalent to solving itself without a fight, "Build an improvised port that is enough to dock the ship group!"

Si Efenger looked at the nearby beach, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said, "The main force of the empire will land here in 15 days, do you want His Majesty Falcon to see such a desolate scene?

"You mean, Your Majesty will also come to Normandy in person with the army!"

"The first expedition of the Imperial Army, how could His Majesty miss it!" Si Efenger flickered his eyes, looked at the sky in the distance, and said with emotion, "The entire Normandian conquest war, then it can be regarded as the real beginning!

"Well, anyway, I'm here to get the food!Since you're in charge of the logistics, I want to know where my food is now?" Jagrin shrugged his shoulders and asked puzzledly, "After all, there's still so much time, you can't let the soldiers drink the Northwest Wind!"

"Don't worry, there will be a ...... of food" Si Efenger was silent for a moment before he said, "The Admiralty has done its best to transfer food from Antolus, but because of the increase in the transportation of reinforcements this time, the Navy transport ships are insufficient, and the food needs to be delayed for a day to arrive!, so I thought of a temporary solution, which should be able to solve part of it!" "What way?" Jagrin asked with an ugly face, "Get the net!" Si Efenger turned around, and raised his hand to the ten dragon tooth warships behind him with a calm expression, the sailors on the battleship struggled to pull the rope hanging from the stern, and a fierce splash sound resounded across the beach, as the rope hanging behind the dragon tooth warship was pulled up, the large net of hundreds of meters behind the rope was also revealed from the shallow water, the reflection of the fish scales was like a huge river jumping happily, and there were at least tons of sea fish writhing in each big net, "Long live, there are so many fish!" The soldiers of the expeditionary force on the beach let out a cheerful shout, "If you work hard for a day, you should be able to temporarily solve the problem of food for the expeditionary force!" Si Finger turned around again and smiled at the stunned Aglins, "I think this is the reason why His Majesty ordered the detachment to take charge of logistics, because His Majesty knows that the navy has a naval solution!"
