The damage caused by the earthquake in Messina was very great in Italy, and it is not possible to heal the wounds in one or two years.

While Italy was licking its wounds over the Messina earthquake, the Balkan War was still in full swing.

First of all, Bulgaria is in a very bad position as a target this time.

Although Bulgaria took the lead in attacking the Greek army with a preemptive strike, Bulgaria's military objectives were not achieved.

In the battle of Thessaloniki, Bulgaria, with a superior force of 210,000 troops, did not annihilate the main forces of the Greek army. The 160,000 Greek troops, having fought a battle with Bulgaria in Thessaloniki, had retreated to the Thessaly Pass.

In this battle of Thessaloniki, although Greece was forced to withdraw from Thessaloniki, the main force of the army was retained, and the Greek army achieved the result of reducing Bulgaria by 31,000 at the cost of 27,000 casualties.

In addition to the combat effectiveness of the Greek army, which is not bad, its superior navy is also indispensable.

The role of large-caliber naval guns on Greek naval warships in defending the city made Bulgaria deeply aware of it. It was also thanks to the superiority of the navy that the Greek army was able to maintain the main force under the Bulgarian offensive.

For Bulgaria, the failure to annihilate the main forces of the Greek army at Thessaloniki made it a bit blind.

In order to pin down the Greek army, Bulgaria needed to leave at least about 100,000 left. After deducting these 100,000 pinned down troops, Bulgaria's current troops are only about 200,000.

Don't look at the numbers, but you need to know who they will face next, Serbia and Romania have declared war on them after they declared war on Greece.

At present, Serbia's 193,000-strong army has crossed the border and is heading towards Sofia. On the Romanian side, 210,000 Romanian troops also crossed the Danube and headed for Sofia.

At this time, the situation was very dangerous for Bulgaria, and if the armies of the two countries were under the city of Sofia, the battle could not be won.

Therefore, in the face of such a situation, Bulgaria continues to mobilize more troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, it needs to prioritize the solution of the enemy army along the way.

For this reason, the Bulgarian military used Plevin and Vlatsa as time to slow down the Romanian army and win time for the defeat of the Serbian army. To this end, Bulgaria deployed 52,000 troops in Pleven and Vlatsa in an attempt to hold them back.

As for the Serbian enemy, under the leadership of the Bulgarian Minister of War, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, priority was given to annihilating the Serbian army.

With the development of the battle plan, the Bulgarian army went into action. After leaving behind the Second Army and the First Third Army of nearly 100,000 troops in Sassaloniki, the Bulgarian First and Third Armies, as well as the Fourth Army, assembled at Sofia. They will fight the Serbian army in Slivnica, preparing to defeat the Serbian army before facing the Romanian army.

In fact, the plan was a copy of the previous Serbian war, in which Bulgaria defeated the Serbs in only four days and forced the other side to sue for peace, and if it were not for the warnings of Austria-Hungary and Russia at that time, Bulgaria would definitely enter the southern city of Niš. At this time, Bulgaria intended to repeat the plot, for which the Bulgarian commander, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, had already rushed to Slivnita with the Fourth Army.

Slivnica is a key town in the western part of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, and if it is breached, the Serbs will come to Sofia. In this way, the pressure on Bulgaria is too great.

At the time of the Bulgarian deployment, the Serbian army had already broken through the Dragoman Pass on the border, and the Bulgarian 9th Division held back the Serbs for three days at a huge cost of more than 9,000 casualties.

As the commander of the Serbian team this time, the chief of the General Staff, General Putnik, stood at the Dragoman Pass in ruins and sighed with emotion. "These Bulgarian soldiers are really strong, enough to hold us back for three days."

As for the commander's words, the other generals around him were just about to say something, only to see a staff officer hurrying over with a telegram.

"Admiral, this is a telegram from Belgrade, please take a look."

In the face of the telegram from the capital, Admiral Putnik took it and looked at it.

With the curious expressions of the people around him, Admiral Putnik suddenly laughed, and then he spoke. "This telegram is the intelligence of Bulgaria from the capital, and these Bulgarians want to make a move on us first and replicate the results of the last war. At the moment the Bulgarians are already waiting for us in Slivnica. ”

In the face of Admiral Putnik's words, a response immediately sounded around him.

"These Bulgarians are dreaming."

"Last time it was careless, but not this time."

"That's right, let them dream."

……

In the face of the repeated words of condemnation of Bulgaria, Admiral Putnik waved everyone to stop.

After everyone was quiet, the Admiral Putnik spoke. "If you want to break the Bulgarian mind, you can't rely on words, we need to do it. Since Bulgaria is waiting for us in Slivnica, then how can we disappoint them, and then the whole army will march towards Slivnica, and we will let Bulgaria know that the same trick cannot be used a second time. ”

On the orders of Colonel-General Putnik, Serbian troops marched towards Slivnica.

Although Putnik was not afraid of the Bulgarian army, in practice the Serbian army was marching step by step, and when it reached the village of Perk, ten kilometers from Slivnica, the Serbian army stopped advancing. And digging fortifications here, with the attitude of staying here for a long time.

It is clear that Colonel-General Putnik, who was the commander of Serbia. It's a procrastination. The Serbian army could afford to wait, because there were allies, and Bulgaria could not afford to wait. The Serbian army only needs to stick to the opponent, and when the Romanian army arrives, it will be defeated.

This truth is known not only to Admiral Putnik, but also to Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, who is the commander of Bulgaria.

So upon hearing the news that the Serbs were building fortifications around the village of Perk, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, after sighing, immediately ordered the Bulgarian army to attack. Originally, he wanted to see if there was a chance to get a fighter while the Serbian army was in a hurry to attack Sofia, but now it seems that the Serbian commander who led the team was not fooled.

And by the order of Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, the Bulgarian troops left the fortifications and pressed towards the village of Perk. A big war is about to unfold here.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
