The harbor fortress of Sisserkania billowed black smoke and soared into the sky.

By the afternoon, most of the defenders had surrendered, and the positions of the recalcitrant ones were immediately saturated with salvo fire from the naval guns, and after the artillery fire, there were no bones left.

When the last voodoo cathar banner was broken and thrown away, the battle was basically over, and the expeditionary force won easily.

On the bridge of the super-battleship "Minerva", an intelligence officer opened the coded letter:

"Your Majesty, our carrier pigeons have good news that your eldest son, the Free Trade Alliance fleet commanded by Duke Meyer Onassis, has captured the port of Sevantia."

The emperor's face was pleased: "Very good, the work of your intelligence department is too good. ”

Dali Einfurt, Prime Minister and Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Force, asked, "Amazing, how did you manage to make carrier pigeons remember the sea routes?" ”

The intelligence officer replied:

"Returning to the Prime Minister, our intelligence agents rowed a boat two weeks ago, and arrived at the predetermined location with carrier pigeons, and rehearsed the communication route between the port of Sevantia and the fortress of Sisercania in advance.

After repeated tests, from a total of 300 military pigeons in six cages, 40 pigeons were carefully selected as the special route carrier pigeons for this operation, which is equivalent to 40 insurances.

Moreover, the information on the letter paper tied to the pigeon's legs is written in the latest Delta 519 super cipher text, and even if the enemy gets it, it is impossible to crack it in a short time, which can ensure that the information is transmitted quickly and safely. ”

"Thank you," said Prince Leopold, who gave him a high-five, "and now I invite Your Majesty and you to come to the conference room in the stern tower, where I will hold the first combat meeting of the expeditionary force. ”

"Your Excellency, let's go," Salantos whistled and strode towards the stern, "look what plans are in his head." ”

"Hehe, don't you dare to be, it's still far from Your Majesty and the Prime Minister." Dalí was surprised that Prince Leopold, who had always been unruly, began to be modest.

The commander and chief of staff were both in good health, but they had to run all the way to catch up with the emperor, and several fat generals who lacked training were quickly left behind.

This super battleship was so huge that it took a long time to reach the stairs at the stern of the ship.

Descending to the second deck, to the stern, the oak door framed with a line of glittering golden letters—

"Valstad Imperial Royal Fleet Meeting Room".

Soon, the ornate conference room was filled with high-ranking generals of the expeditionary force.

The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Prince Leopold Schumacher, spread out the map and showed his military plans to the emperor and other generals.

He used a worn-out wooden ruler to point to the southern tip of the continent of Avon on the map:

"Please be quiet, I'm going to get started,

In the south, we've wiped out the Voodoo fleet and the sea monsters they cast, and we've captured the Cisercania Fortress, where we are now.

In the northern part of the continent of Yawen, Duke Meyer's Free Trade Alliance fleet routed the fleet of Solan's rebels and captured the largest port and large city in the north, Cervantia.

In this way, the first step of the plan is perfectly closed,

We have two springboards that we can use to launch ground attacks,

Losses in naval battles were minimal, our capital ships were in perfect condition and had absolute sea supremacy,

Both the privateer fleet and the Navy's Second Fleet patrol the high seas, and no enemy ship can pass freely, not even a single dhow without our permission.

In this way, our enemy will completely lose its naval strength, and our supply ships will be able to continuously transport food, munitions, and personnel from the mainland.

Next, take a look here. ”

Leopold took out a pencil and drew two huge arrows across the map.

"A familiar feeling." After reading this, the emperor blurted out: "Leopold, this is your best pincer attack. ”

The commander nodded; "That's right, a pincer offensive, we go hand in hand with the north and south,

The Southern Army, which consisted of the Imperial Army, was of course the main force,

I will concentrate light and heavy cavalry and mule and horse artillery to form a fast-moving force, and everything will be given priority in speed, and everyone will be allowed to carry only the necessary munitions and three rations.

Their mission is to quickly penetrate the interior to break through the defenses of the Voodoo Cathar and free the slave rebels of our ally Andy Whitefield to help them regroup.

His Majesty's eldest son, Duke Meyer Onassis's Northern Route Army, was close to the combat objective, and they were faced with a rough road, which could be advanced at a normal pace.

The Duke of Leclerc's army, the leader of the loyal wing of King Solan's army, is besieged by rebels, and the Northern Army has to help the allies regain their morale and crush the rebels from inside and outside.

It sounds simple, but the simpler the plan, the easier it is to communicate and execute, effectively increasing the success rate. ”

Leopold looked at the Emperor: "I'm done, Your Majesty." ”

"It looks pretty good," the emperor glanced at the prime minister beside him, "my chief of staff, what do you think?" ”

Dali deliberately frowned: "I think there is something wrong with this plan, a very serious problem. ”

These words immediately caused the atmosphere in the conference room to suddenly become tense.

Hearing this, Prince Leopold's face remained unchanged, but his heart was extremely angry:

(fuck...... Dali is always going to get along with me, and he wants to crush me in everything.

The most hateful thing is that His Majesty is always biased towards him!

There are rumors in the palace that Dali Einfurt is the emperor's old lover, and the two old classmates have had a crush on each other, and the two often have secret trysts, which I think may be true......

Anyway, this bastard dares to find fault with me in front of His Majesty!

doesn't save me face at all, if I don't come here today, I'm not done with him! ）

He asked patiently; "Please raise your questions, Prime Minister."

"There's something wrong with this plan," Dalí repeated again in a deliberately nonchalant manner, sipping on his cigar and spitting out the smoke ring, in a jokingly relaxed tone:

"The problem is that the plan is exactly what I thought, and I suspect that our Excellency the Commander slipped into my cabin in the middle of the night and stole the contents of my briefcase."

(Fuck, this bastard dwarf Dali!) It's half a joke, it's a joke! ）、

Prince Leopold Schumacher finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

Dalí ...... You guy! I was almost throwing a glove in your face and asking for a duel! ”

All the generals burst into laughter, and the emperor's ruined half of his face laughed a little terrifyingly.

To allow a joke on such a serious occasion is something that only an enlightened monarch like Emperor Valstad could do.

Sarantos Midknight does not like the lifeless, calculating political atmosphere of other countries,

She hopes that the ministers and officers under her command will have a harmonious and relaxed atmosphere.

Fighting a war is a dangerous errand that licks blood from the knife edge,

No one is absolutely safe in modern warfare, and even if they are far from the front line, they will be blown to nothing by the grenades that fall from them.

If she is destined to die, she also hopes to leave with a smile on her face.

As soon as the joke was played, the relationship between the commander and the chief of staff became closer.

The emperor slapped the table, pointed to the map, and said:

"Just do what the commander has planned,

The general will listen to the order, I want you to complete the unloading and landing work within three days.

If it can't be done,

Hum...... There's a salt farm nearby, and you'll be punished with a big spoonful of coarse sea salt! ”
