Chapter 282: Battle

The mountainous region northwest of the province of Dru, the kingdom of the Sith. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć This mountain is located in the north of Nice City, and it is less than four hundred miles away from the Blood God Cult base to the west of Nice City.
While waiting for Iverson's intelligence officers to arrive, Anthony organized a final pre-war meeting.
This meeting was of vital significance to the entire combat operations of the Black Hawk Cavalry Division. Because after entering the territory of the Sith and witnessing the tragic scene of walking corpses everywhere and shattering their families and countries, the emotions of the officers gradually began to get a little out of control. Because most of the officers of the cavalry division came from the cavalry ranks when Anthony left the Sith.
The army is a war machine forged by the state, and the soldier is just a part of this machine. In the face of a war that could break out at any time, young soldiers often need to suppress their emotions and turn themselves into almost heartless men. On the battlefield, in the face of dead comrades, in the face of dripping blood, in the face of stump fragments, you may not be able to find the feelings of ordinary people from the eyes of this group of people.
However, soldiers also have their own bottom line---- they can die generously, but they can't tolerate the people behind them to become victims of war, and they can't tolerate the land they guard to become scorched earth.
Most of the officers of the Black Hawk Cavalry Division are already Fire Cloud soldiers in the strict sense of the word. But at this moment, the feelings of the homeland hidden deep in their hearts still made their hearts begin to bleed.
This is something that even a commander as deep as Anthony can't face indifferently, let alone these passionate young people?
This sentiment, which soon turned into a raging war, began to breed and spread among the 30,000 elite cavalry, and soon caught Anthony's attention.
In the big tent, the officers gathered early and talked to each other in low voices, venting their grief and indignation. Anthony sat quietly in his chair, listening to the officers' conversation.
"General. The Sisi Resistance had already arrived outside the camp. The herald hurried into the tent and came to Anthony to report to him.
"So fast?" Anthony stood up excitedly, "Hurry up, please"
Iverson walked into Anthony's camp with a few guards on his face.
He appeared. Anthony was surprised because he didn't have to come in person. And the officers in the battalion, especially from the Sith, hurriedly stood up.
Ever since Iverson left the Black Hawk Legion and returned to the Sith, everyone knew that this was the only remaining young man in the Sith royal family. will be the future owner of the Sith.
Anthony got up and walked towards Iverson, and the officers automatically followed him and met Iverson.
Iverson looked at Anthony and the others who were walking towards him, and there was a hint of anger on his face. After entering the mountains, he sensed the strange atmosphere in the cavalry division.
He strode forward and gave a military salute to Anthony first: "Iverson, the commander behind enemy lines of the Black Hawk Legion in the Sith, has been ordered to lead his troops to cooperate with the general in the execution of Operation Avenger."
Although in the Black Hawk Legion, his position was higher than that of Anthony, but in this battle, which was dominated by the Black Hawk Cavalry Division, was according to the rules of the battlefield. He needed to accept Anthony's interim leadership.
"Deputy Commander, please be seated. Anthony immediately understood the meaning of Iverson's gesture, and smiled and gave Iverson a seat.
The meeting began quickly.
Anthony asked Iverson to speak first.
"Before the meeting began, I would like to say just one word. In the days since I left the Black Hawk Legion, I have never forgotten that I was a soldier of the Black Hawk Legion, and I hope you will remember it as much as I do."
Iverson said coldly with a stern gaze that swept over a group of excited officers.
As soon as Iverson finished speaking, Anthony continued:
"I'll say a couple of words too. The combat missions currently performed by the Black Hawk Cavalry Division. A glance will shock the mainland. The commander of the legion once said that the cavalry division is the iron fist of the Black Hawk, and it must turn the enemy into ashes as soon as it is called out This is the first time that the cavalry division has carried out a major task alone since its formation, and the eyes of the entire Black Eagle Legion, the entire Fire Cloud Empire, and the entire continent will be focused on us An excellent soldier, must be a person who can successfully complete the task, I ask you to throw all the messy thoughts in your heads away from me, and reply to the demeanor of you Black Eagle soldiers. I firmly believe that when the Black Eagle flapps its wings and flies high, the haze of the continent will be dissipated, and you will see this land, the people of this land stand up again, and then, we will meet. ā
According to the latest intelligence brought by Iverson. Combined with the map sent back by the night wind and the officers discussed the speeches. Anthony and Iverson finally settled on the final battle plan:
The Black Hawk Cavalry Division was 15,000 men and was led by Anthony himself. Directly attack the Blood God Cult base located west of Nice City, and be sure to completely annihilate the defenders of the base (nearly 100 blood-clothed messengers, 500 blood demons, and the walking corpses are not counted in the complete destruction of all facilities in the base. The other 10,000 people, led by the deputy division commander Jayne, ambushed in the west of Nice City, responsible for blocking reinforcements in the direction of Nice City, and was not allowed to evacuate without permission until the battle in the base was over. The remaining 5,000 men, temporarily led by Iverson, served as a reserve in battle, dealing with emergencies on the battlefield and planning the combat operations of the two divisions. On the route passed by the cavalry division, the Sisi Resistance was responsible for clearing all kinds of checkpoints and military stations, including the guards on the perimeter of the Blood God Cult base. Before the attack, the Sisi Resistance was to launch a small riot in the city near the city of Nice to attract the enemy's attention and strength. All troops must enter their intended combat positions before dusk two days later, and the battle will begin at midnight on the third day and end before dawn. Subsequently, the Black Hawk Cavalry Division quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and the Sith Resistance Group was responsible for the rear. After ensuring the safety of the Black Hawk Cavalry Division, the Western Resistance retreated, and the Cavalry Division was tasked with attracting the Blood God Cult's pursuers to the Orc Empire's borders before returning to the Roman Province.
Finally, Anthony gave a cruel order to the officers: "Those who are wounded in this battle, let them rest forever in the land where they fought"
It was an order of last resort, and the officers calmly accepted it and began to go down and set about the arrangement.
After the crowd dispersed, Anthony and Iverson remained in the tent.
"In the Sith, it's bitter, isn't it?" Anthony could already tell from Iverson's face that he was under tremendous pressure to lead the Resistance in the Sith, which made Iverson look a little old.
"Struggling to survive in hell, what do you think?" Iverson smiled wryly.
"Thank you today, or I'll have to talk a little more. Anthony thanked Iverson for what had begun.
"Since the Legion Commander has put everything in our hands, we must be his subordinates at ease. Of course, the emotions of the officers are also understandable, and during this time in the Sith, I myself will have times when I am sad and crying. Iverson sighed, "I used to yearn for power and glory, but now I just hope that this will end soon, and people will live in peace." ā
"You, a nobleman, are becoming more and more commoner, and it should be a good thing for the suffering Sith people to come. Anthony smiled meaningfully.
"Yes, I envy you now, to be a professional soldier, to lead a strong army to meet new battles. As for me, I'm afraid I'm going to be left here by the boss and come to clean up this mess after the war is over. The royal family of the Sith once enjoyed the tricks of the people, and this is my duty. ā
"This war will be a clarion call for a counteroffensive, and perhaps the storm set off by the Blood God Cult is coming to an end. ā
The two chatted in the tent for a while, and then walked out of the camp together.
The night was as cold as water, and the neighing of people and horses could not be heard in the mountains, and the cavalry division hid itself perfectly.
"How is the boss?" Iverson asked softly, looking at the sky.
"Okay, just busy. After I left, he was going to prepare for the convening of a conference of continental states. ā
"Sidon Fortress, Taihang Mountain base-style weapons and equipment, it seems that everything is far from over. I'll have to build a strong reinforcement for him in the Sith."
"You only now understand?" Anthony gloated at Iverson, "I thought you knew it from the time the young marshal appeared."
"He's so cautious, I'm afraid your battle won't be over for a while, and everyone will be able to fight each other. Iverson muttered.
"It's good to have a fight with me. My life's dream is nothing more than to ride a war horse and lead a group of sons and daughters to crisscross the four directions now, and I will first finish this battle beautifully and send the sacrifice back to Roman. ā
Both of them fell silent, and their thoughts flew to the battlefield two days later.
