Chapter 98: Retreat on All Fronts (2-in-1, Ask for Subscription!! )

"Have you heard? It's going to be war again! ”

The declaration of war was published in the newspapers and distributed to every citizen, and the news of the outbreak of war between the Church of Truth and the Apocalypse was completely spread, and the recruitment notices posted confirmed it.

Before the invasion of the ancient gods, the permanent army of the Romanov kingdom has always been maintained at around one million, and the emergency recruitment of retired veterans during the war can pull up a team of three million in one night, Katerina knows the importance of soldiers, and after ascending the throne, she began to train young people of the right age on a three-year cycle.

In the years since the outbreak of the war with the demons, the number of permanent soldiers in the Romanov kingdom has reached three million, and these are only serving soldiers, and there are many more unnaturalized training soldiers, who have become a steady stream of soldiers.

Katerina has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, this is what she dreamed of, in the past, for the sake of Ma Wei's face, it was not suitable for expanding the territory, such as today, the Enlightenment Department took the initiative to declare war.

She couldn't hold it anymore.

"Your Majesty, it's good for you to sit in the rear, why do you want to go to the front?"

St. Basil's Cathedral, Mavi looked at Katerina helplessly: "Isn't it good to stay in Mosk?" Makarov and Goffman are both famous generals and have a lot of experience, just let them command! ”

"Makarov: They are really good at fighting, but I heard that Caesar also came to the front." Katerina said: "That's why I went. ”

"Your Majesty, can't you trust Makarov?"

"No, it's me who wants to fight Caesar." Katerina said truthfully: "A legendary figure, the founder of the great empire, priest, if it were you, wouldn't you be moved?" ”

“.”

To be honest, Mavi didn't really have much thought of Caesar.

But he could understand Katerina's impulsiveness.

As a commander, Katerina won dozens of battles, large and small, and her superb military ability convinced countless generals, which is one of the reasons why Makarov and other generals who followed Peter the Great were willing to join her.

The battlefield is the stage for their competition, think that when the fleet of Saint-Martin was sailing on the seas, didn't it rush up and break their wrists when they encountered some powerful pirates?

When encountering opponents, adrenaline rushes, and when encountering merchant ships of unequal strength, they are not interested.

Mavi knows that feeling.

"No, Your Majesty, I can't let you go to the front." Mavi sighed: "Nereida has joined forces with Baji, if they go to the front line at the same time, the Church of Truth cannot guarantee your safety, once you are captured by them, the Romanov Kingdom will be in big trouble, I need you to stay in Mosk, stay in the safest place." ”

"Shall I go secretly?" Katerina licked her lips.

"Intelligence will always leak, so let's stay in Mosk."

Katerina was a little disappointed, because Arthur had already gone to the front line to command, and the answer given by Ma Wei was very simple, the archchurch of the Church of Truth is in Mosk, London is the territory of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, why did the Apocalypse Department attack London and let Mosk go?

The armies of the Apocalypse God System and the True God System are all gathering towards the border of the Romanov Kingdom, on the other hand, in the Perea, Napoleon is on the defensive, and has no intention of attacking the Windsor Kingdom itself.

Napoleon, who confronted the Kingdom of Windsor, was not the main force at all!

Neraida and Bagegi will never sit idle and find trouble with Arthur.

In the following period, the Romanov Kingdom mobilized millions of troops to display the southern border, set up layers of defense lines, and was always ready to resist the attacks launched by the Apocalypse God System and the True God System, and the informants in Berlin also kept sending back news.

After the death of Wilhelm V, Bismarck went into the wilderness, and this was only the beginning, and in recent times, the Church of the Ruling God, under the leadership of Pope Doppler II, began to arrest the royalists on a large scale, and all those who were loyal to Wilhelm V were punished.

Doppler II had been dissatisfied with Wilhelm V for many years, and before the gods came, Wilhelm V imposed strict control on religion in the country, and the officials and generals in that period did not have a very good relationship with the church.

It is not clear whether Wilhelm V's 'betrayal' was related to the support of the nobility, but Pope Doppler II firmly believed that the king's collusion with the nobility was the root cause of the trouble, so he carried out a wave of purges of Frederick's upper echelons.

The abolition of the royal system made Frederick's kingdom enter the republican period, various parties sprung up like mushrooms, and the new prime minister Adolf was a vegetarian, animal protectionist, non-smoker, mild-mannered, in order to cooperate with the church to monitor the aristocracy, a special police was set up to arrest lawbreakers who intended to riot.

Because of the loss of cheap grain from the Romanov Kingdom, the price of wheat in the Kingdom of Frederick soared, which dealt a great blow to the agriculture that was already in the doldrums due to urbanization, as a staple food, the price of wheat is undoubtedly related to people's livelihood, for the Kingdom of Frederick, people can live without milk, can do without sausages, and must not live without bread!

Grain prices only rose for a while, and the Alavi Kingdom, which had reached a cooperative relationship, began to export wheat to the Kingdom of Frederick, which depressed domestic grain prices, and prices were able to fall, which, together with a large number of orders placed by the government to factories, solved a considerable part of the employment problem and solved the economic problem temporarily.

On August 9, the Apocalypse invaded Warsaw.

The 150,000 troops under the command of Commander Adnan fought fiercely with the Southwestern Front led by Makarov, and at first the battle went very smoothly, under the command of Makarov, the commander of Berlin, Commander Adnan could not get any benefit, fought for half a month, only advanced a few kilometers, and did not even see the birch forest outside Warsaw, which was the result of Makarov's intention to avoid too many casualties and fight and retreat.

Adolf, who learned the news, angrily asked Commander Adnan to take Warsaw within seven days, and Commander Adnan could only launch a general attack with the order, and finally came to the vicinity of Warsaw after paying tens of thousands of soldiers and casualties, but before he could enter the city, a huge airship appeared in the sky.

Countless activated magic cannonballs spilled from under the airship and exploded in the center of the battlefield, and the frontline troops collapsed in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Makarov showed a smile that his plan had succeeded, he has been retreating these days, just to lure the enemy deeper, airships are good things, but they also have to be divided into occasions, if Adnan's army is not pulled away, the airship is easy to be caught in flames and crashed

"Report!"

Just as Makarov was about to report the battle situation to the Mosk side, the adjutant hurriedly rushed into the command post with a panicked face: "Mosk news, a corps has invaded the Helsinki area!" Movement is underway in the direction of the pilgrimage to St. Petersburg! ”

"Helsinki?" Makarov was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran to the map and took a closer look.

The front line was Warsaw, where the Allied forces had the most troops, with more than three million troops on display on both sides!

Absolute frontal battleground!

The result?

The Apocalypse Divine Department actually sent an army to attack Helsinki!

How this battle was fought!

If you go deep alone, aren't you afraid of being annihilated?

Don't think about a sneak attack on Mosk, no one is a fool, the army led by Makarov is mostly ordinary soldiers, and the really powerful church army has not yet been sent!

Mosk has Yunia in charge, isn't it a death for a small army to run to a sneak attack?

"How many enemies are attacking Helsinki?"

"About ten thousand! They were parachuted into Helsinki! ”

Makarov frowned, and decided not to care about the enemy forces that appeared in the Helsinki area, he was on the front line, and the enemy who appeared in the rear had his own rear army to solve, and his task was to establish the first line of defense and intercept the enemy as much as possible!

As Makarov had expected, Mosk soon sent a dragoon regiment to St. Petersburg to support, while Commander Adnan was removed and Caesar became the supreme commander of the front.

Caesar did not choose to storm like Adnan, but during the confrontation, he constantly sent small mobile units to intersperse, day and night, on average once every twenty minutes, disturbing the chickens and dogs, and the soldiers often heard the alarm bells of the enemy as soon as they fell asleep.

For several days, Makarov began to withdraw a part of his soldiers backwards, divided into four groups, one for front-line alert, one for backup, and one for rest, although this would weaken the front-line defenses, but it could perfectly cope with Caesar's tactics, but no one expected it

Caesar launched a general attack on the day the soldiers retreated.

The tired soldiers rushed to meet the battle without rest, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, on the other hand, the soldiers led by Caesar were like wolves, hiding behind the giant gods and moving forward, Makarov's soldiers showed signs of rout, but fortunately Onufri led a dragoon regiment arrived in time and repelled the attack.

Coming to the front with Onufri was Rogin, and Makarov asked with some confusion: "Why are you here?" ”

"Father Mavi wants me to inform you to abandon Warsaw at once and retreat on all fronts."

"Retreat across the board? Why! Makarov, whose eyes were bloodshot, gritted his teeth and shouted: "I've been holding out for almost a month!" Isn't retreating at this time giving Warsaw to the enemy?! ”

"Badge appeared in the Helsinki area, and the 15th Dragoon Regiment was completely destroyed." Rogin uttered the chilling words in a calm voice: "Archbishop Levin has gone to stop it, but as soon as Archbishop Levin moves, no one will be able to stop Nerreida, in order to avoid greater losses, you must retreat immediately." ”

"Makarov, withdraw! If Nereida comes to the front, it's too late! ”

"Hey!"

Makarov angrily slammed his fist on the table, "Withdraw!" ”

On September 10, the South-Western Front withdrew from Warsaw and retreated towards the Minsk region.

As soon as the defenders of Warsaw moved, Goffman, who was stationed in Kiev, slammed his glass angrily and began to retreat urgently, and the defenders of the Rostov region also withdrew.

Less than two hours after the troops withdrew, Nereida came to the front and entered the city of Warsaw, accompanied by Caesar.

"You send an army to follow me." Looking at the situation in the city of Warsaw, Nereida said suddenly.

"What do you want to do?"

"They have just withdrawn, it is a good opportunity to pursue, Badge has pinned down Levine Bojie, now there is no one in the Church of Truth who is my opponent, you just need to lead the army to follow me and take over the city."

After saying that, Nereida disappeared in an instant, chasing in the direction of Makarov and the others' evacuation.

"Führer, aren't we going to catch up?"

A general asked cautiously when he saw Caesar's ugly face.

"He can solve it himself, what kind of war is there to fight!"

Caesar turned and got into the carriage and said to the general, "You lead the army to catch up!" ”

"Führer, where are you going?"

"Back to Rome! I don't need me here at all! ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Caesar left in a carriage, and Serafina, who was traveling with him, looked at him strangely: "The war is too smooth, will it stimulate your self-esteem?" ”

"This is not a war at all, but a one-sided massacre." Caesar looked out the window with an indifferent expression: "There is no fun in the battlefield without competition, only the most primitive killing, but what really made me retreat was Nereida." ”

"What's wrong with Him?"

"I saw in Him the shadow of myself." Caesar said, "Arrogance, arrogance, emptiness, contempt, complacency. These are the ways to die. ”

Serafina's eyes flashed, "Do you think Nereida will lose?" ”

"Do you want to hear from me?"

"Hmm."

"I think He's going to die."

After several years of getting along and trusting, Caesar and Serafina became very close, like friends who talked about everything, they knew each other as early as two thousand years ago.

"I don't know why, Neraida gives me a very flat feeling." Caesar pondered, "This blandness is not due to self-confidence, but to the calmness of foreseeing what is to come."

"Nereida is the god of the apocalypse, and he does see the possibilities of the future."

"And the prime minister he elected, who was full of paranoia and madness."

Caesar squinted his eyes, as if he was looking at something that didn't exist: "Paranoia and madness are important causes of failure, to be honest, I am not optimistic about the new prime minister, his paranoia and madness can only make Frederick's kingdom flourish for a while, and then he will fall into hell, as if he has been beaten with chicken blood, and he will not be able to sustain himself for a long time." ”

"How could a god of the apocalypse, who can see the possibility of the future, elect such a new prime minister?"

"Of course, it may also be that I have a bad vision, missee the nature of the new prime minister, and misestimate the future, if so, I don't have the face to stay on the front line."

"You're always thinking too much."

Serafina shook her head, "We won't lose, Nereida will definitely win, because no one can stop him anymore!" ”

Looking at Serafina, Caesar suddenly said, "Do you know why Mavi Enders was able to succeed?" ”

"Why?"

"Because when everyone thinks it's safe, he's thinking about the possibility of defeat, and when everyone is celebrating the victory, he's already thinking about the hidden dangers that may arise after the victory."
