Chapter 22: Abandon the Burgers
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Even, including the person who said this, only after saying it did he realize that his unintentional proposal was too wonderful. Sha Ruo didn't expect that a similar idea would be brought up by Amy again.
With Amy's understanding of Sharuo, such a proposal will undoubtedly be 100% passed by the girl. It's just that the idea is really tempting - all three people except Sha Ruo are thrilled.
In today's general trend, all the emperors of Myanyang can have the name of righteousness, in the final analysis, there is one reason: they have the help of gods.
Without the intervention of the God of Light, the Holy See is still a small local church, how could it be possible to turn over the situation on the continent and turn it into clouds and rain; without the intervention of the gods, the Phanos Continent would still be in a civil war as it was 1,000 years ago, and it would definitely not be twisted into a force to attack the Eminole Continent; similarly, without the intervention of the gods, the Reynolds family would certainly not have the power to canonize the kings.
For ordinary human beings in the pan-continent, whether it is patriarchal power, husband's power, monarchical power or even religious power, it is as thin as paper in the face of divine power, and it cannot resist pushing and scrutinizing at all. His Holiness the Pope can even subvert the regime of a medium-sized country.
If...... It is really possible to establish a new church, and it is a god worshipped by the god of fire, one of the twelve main gods, the mountain dwarf kingdom will definitely recognize this church at the first time; the redstone emperor will also gladly accept it; the desert empire that has been swaying from side to side has believed in the god of fire since ancient times; of course the three mercenary kings who retreated from the mercenary empire will not refuse; the forest elf kingdom will at least not stand up against it because of Amy; the two Hami kingdoms of the frozen continent may have some resistance, but judging from the relationship between the sun god and the fire god, the forest dwarves should not object, and the relationship between the forest dwarves and the Hami kingdom has always been good, and they will definitely help to do the workγ
In this way, this religion must have been pan-continental and recognized by many kingdoms from the day it was founded. Similarly, the Holy See will be forced to be alone on the same day, and the strongest latent force in the Western Emperor Alliance will be gently kicked aside.
Amy subconsciously bit her lip...... Alas...... It's a pity that now he is facing Sha Ruo, who is absolutely unwilling and will not come to the forefront......
Shaking her head slightly, Amy dispelled this thought first: "Sha Ruo, don't worry about this." If you are following Miss Lin these days, you must pay attention to her every move. β
"Yes. Sha Ruo's face showed sadness, in the past few days, Lin Yushang has not eaten or drunk at all, and the ones who can persuade her are herself and Ling Bao'er.
"You pack up your and Yusheng's things," Amy nicknamed Miss Lin for the first time, "We're going to evacuate here." β
"Huh?" Sharuo and the other two boys were startled and left here, no longer guarding the city of Hamburg?
"Yes. The morning after tomorrow, you and Yushang will come to the council chamber together, and I will announce it. Amy let out a long breath, looked at the mountains in the distance through the window, and said leisurely: "Many things are not subject to our will. Prior to this, due to the protection of Uncle Chi, Lord Lin He, etc., whether it was me or Daqingshan and Horns, we all hoped that the war could end as soon as possible, and we always hoped to stay away from this war, at least, the war would not bring too much life and death to the small mercenary group. β
"Now, I've finally figured it out. This war is too big to hide from anywhere. Ying of Xilin Island, Daqingshan of Broken Ice Harbor, Chi Aotian of Scambrai, and Sha Ruo of the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom ......" Amy counted them one by one almost on her fingers: "Which of us who are still alive today has not died because of this war?" In order for us to have a lifetime of hope after the nine deaths, Uncle Chi, Lord Linhe, Uncle Balbas, and several elders ......" Amy bit her lip and was silent for a moment.
"Since you can't hide from ......" Amy took a deep breath, her tone was flat but with an unprecedented momentum: "Okay, let's catch up." β
"Previously, I didn't approve of Chi Aotian's approach. Now, I don't think there's anything wrong with what he did, there are always people to die in war, there are always innocent civilians to die, either the civilians on our side die or the civilians on the other side die, and we haven't been so selfless as to sacrifice the civilians on our side......" The boy laughed at himself. "For that little bit of power, up to the gods, down to the nobodies, they have risen up one after another! Hmph...... As long as I am alive, I will see how capable these people are of the herd, and as long as the small mercenary group still exists, then these people who harm us for their own interests, no matter who they are, as long as he is not dead, he is destined to see our bloody sword in his sleep. β
The three people in the room didn't expect Amy to say such a thing! Horns even saw extreme shock in Da Qingshan's eyes! How could Amy say such a royal spirit...... No...... How can a teenager who constantly evades responsibility, a person who only wants the safety of the people around him, suddenly turn the world into nothing?
In fact, this passage has been passed down to later generations, and most people prefer to believe that this passage came from the mouth of His Excellency Chi Aotian. However, Da Qingshan, Horns, and Sha Ruo, any of the three people have the most precious integrity in the world, and the three of them do not have the slightest hesitation about the source of this paragraph.
Looking at the back of Amy's departure, Horns hesitated and finally couldn't help but say the words in the hearts of the three people: "Amy...... It's changed. β
Amy has changed, of course she has changed, in this world, everyone is like a spring, if there is no pressure, this spring will never release a little elastic force, there must be pressure, and the greater the pressure, the greater the elastic force released by the spring. People are stress-free and fluttering, although this sentence is old, but it is an absolute truth. Anyone who can't face this sentence definitely doesn't have to hope for any kind of success in their life journey. Of course, Amy is also a spring, a spring that was smashed directly into the ground by several meteorites flying from nine heavens away, and this spring groaned and found that it was not completely smashed, and in the pain, the spring bounced back instantly! The meteorite flew back with a whistling as it came, smashing the deep night sky into a crater of the same size.
Since ancient times, war has been synonymous with bloodshed, and in this world where people's heads are rolling on the ground, especially when their loved ones fall in pools of blood, all people will have that indescribable heart-rending feeling -- either dying in heart-tearing lungs or breaking out in heart-rending lungs! Bloody people have erupted, and bloodless people have suffocated to death.
Early on the morning of the third day, the sound of a sharp horn resounded throughout the city of Hamburg -- Gathering Generals! This was the first time that the provisional supreme commander of the Northern Theater of Operations of the Empire had gathered generals. In addition to the officers on duty, officers above the rank of squad leader and baron of other Imperial units gathered in the council hall from all parts of the city of Hamburg. As soon as the horn of the gathering general fell, the horn of the small mercenary group sounded, and all the cadres above the deputy captain of the small mercenary group also rushed to the meeting hall along the snowy street.
After 20 breaths, the council hall of Hamburg City was full of officers, cadres, and the original bureaucratic system of Hamburg City, many of which were dwarves.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to come here today mainly to announce something. On the handsome seat, sat the young prince of the empire, and his brown eyes swept over everyone in the room as he spoke.
Although the young prince is not very old, he speaks with a clear look, and even more like a big man than the late Earl Linhe, and has a majesty that oppresses people's low-level nerves. It is a necessity that among so many officers here, the feeling of death alone is the kind that is not close to death...... Only a layer of soap bubble diaphragm away, none of the dozens of people present had more experience than the teenager in the seat. This kind of majesty gained by the side of death, once released, is definitely not something that ordinary soldiers can bear.
The boy paused, drawing everyone's attention: "We will all withdraw from Hamburg City within five days." The small mercenary group system will be evacuated by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, the Imperial Colorful Dragon Knights must be evacuated before 3 p.m. the day after tomorrow, all other residents of Hamburg City must be evacuated within four days, and the Imperial Guard, you are responsible for the final sweeping work. When you leave the city, there must be no living residents or soldiers in the city. β
"Lord Amy, why do you want to give up Hamburg, this is the city that Lord Lin He fought for with his life!" Lan Tian, the captain of the Heavy Infantry Brigade of the Imperial Colorful Dragon Knights, was so surprised that he forgot that he had to take care of the face of his boss, and jumped out at the same time with several robes.
"Hmph......" The white-clothed young man's nose made a cold voice: "Is it? It's really rare, you still remember Lord Lin He." I don't want you to be the next time you will win this city with your life, Lord Lantian. β
Amy's performance at this time was too far from the previous suave teenager, and before that, Amy was not ...... to any officer More precisely, for any ordinary soldier, there is enough respect for him, and among the twenty-thousand mercenaries of the city of Hamburg, Amy has the best reputation as an officerβhe is an absolute gentleman, and in terms of modest demeanor, the title of the young prince, the most senior of the nobility, is absolutely appropriate.
"Remember, Lord Lin He fought with his life not for Hamburg City, but for everyone in Hamburg City at that time...... Of course, that includes me. If we continue to defend like this, if Marshal Dahaino brings another floating city in the spring of next year, Your Excellency the captain, please ask you, will Lord Lin He come back to save you?"
Amy's tone softened a little: "It's not everyone's fault, in the battle of Hamburg City, the top cadres of the mercenary group must bear the main responsibility." I've been thinking a lot lately, if we abandon Hamburg and take all the people with us, what will the army of Fanos rely on to sustain the production of weapons here? Where will they find the new miners? Where will they find so many new blacksmiths? How much will they have to pay to get food to Hamburg? How many troops will they need to escort the weapons to ensure that they can safely reach the barracks all over the continent?"
The front-line officers of the Imperial Army did not have much strategic consideration. Amy kept throwing out one question after another, whether it was a mercenary cadre or a regular officer, most of them opened their mouths but found that they hadn't thought about similar questions at all.
"We made a mistake! Or rather, after the invasion of the continent by the two major military groups of Fanos and Alcatraz, under a series of upheavals, the Imperial Military Department made a mistake. The young man in white picked up the water cup and took a sip of tea.
"Of course, this is by no means incompetent. In fact, it is an inevitable consequence. Amy's words turned, as if she was excusing the Imperial Military Department again.
This point was captured by the regular army officers subordinate to the Imperial Military Department, which is easy to understand, after all, Marshal Chi Datong, the supreme head of the Imperial Military Department, is the nominal ancestor of the young man in front of him, and a teenager who has just entered his 20s was pushed to this position by the Imperial Military Department just because of some of his good luck and "coincidental" relationship. The red-eyed and powerful officers or nobles who have won this position have definitely reached double digits.
However, the Imperial officers soon found out that they were wrong.
"On both sides of the war, there must be two different ways of warfare: offensive and defensive. In fact, the attacking side has the power to start and end the battle, while the defending side can only passively accept the bones thrown by the other side. It is a pity that in this war, the empire was on the defensive. As I said earlier, it is not the incompetence of the Imperial military that the Empire is on the defensive, it is an inevitability. The Phanos Legion is on the continent of Eminore, and there is no need to defend any territory, and every move they make is for expansion. The Imperial Legion is the opposite, from Lionheart, Scambrai, Hamburg, etc., the Imperial forces are bound by these seemingly impregnable fortresses, until now, the Empire has actually only pinched together a strategic offensive force, that is, the legion under the command of Marshal Chi Hantong. And this legion has now lost its mobility again due to the cloud pass. Because of the passivity of the imperial army, the other side has the opportunity to continuously concentrate superior forces and gradually eat one city after another. I think you can understand what I mean. β
Most of the officers at the level of Imperial Squad Leader are over 25 years old, unless they are the children of great nobles, and most of them are around 30 years old at the level of Squadron Leader. The more than 20 middle- and high-ranking officers in the council hall were all shocked! Such words should only come from the mouths of the lecturers of the advanced training class of the Imperial Knight School or the mouths of the senior staff members of the Imperial War Zone, how could this young man in front of him, who had only a few years of mercenary experience, say it? Could it be ...... It can't be that General Chi Hanfeng or General Lin He will possess this young man without turning a blind eye.
"So, I've decided to abandon the isolated city of Hamburg, and if anything happens to the Imperial Military Department or His Majesty Redstone, the responsibility is all on me. What are we going to do next?" Amy waved for the guard of the small mercenary group to open the military map.
When the young man said this, he did have the momentum of a great war zone general, at least, the more than 40 officers in the hall, especially most of them, were still from the Imperial Colorful Dragon Knights, the Imperial Praetorian Guard, and the Imperial Snow Moon Legion, and these officers trembled slightly in their hearts.
By direct order of Lord Amy, from the third day of the first month of the sixth year of the magic calendar. The former defenders of Hamburg will be divided into two main parts until a higher order is received from the Imperial War Department or His Excellency Amy is transferred from here.
The principle of division is as follows: first, the small mercenary group and the Imperial regular army are separated as the dividing line, and secondly, all soldiers from the Ice and Snow Continent and the Imperial Messis Snow Peak region in the Imperial regular army are divided into small mercenary groups, regardless of their position. Similarly, in the Small Mercenary Group system, all mercenaries from warm regions of the Imperial Empire and two knight battalions are classified as the regular army of the Empire. On the basis of the principle of voluntariness, the steppe elf battalion and the forest elf battalion selected mercenaries with weak physique to be included in the regular army of the empire. β
After the redivision, the northern theater will be divided into areas and divisions for defense with the original city swordsman battalions and city guards as the defense units, and the troops divided from the defenders of Hamburg City, mainly the imperial regular army, will become the largest military force on the northern theater line, and the biggest advantage of this knight-based force is mobility. The fundamental task assigned to it is to defend, but it is by no means a passive one. Once the Phanos Legion waits for an opportunity to attack the northern theater of operations, then this unit will take advantage of the dual advantages of internal combat and high mobility, constantly attacking the enemy's troops, so that the enemy cannot realize its strategic intentions;
The appointment of the cadres of the two armies is as follows: the top person in charge of the small mercenary group system is Amy herself, and the deputies are Horns and Horns, and the list of main cadres is as follows: Farrell, Dark Qiusheng, Qingting Mingya, and Huanyang Rod. Among them, in addition to the cadres of the small mercenary group, Farrell is the captain of the second infantry brigade of the Snow Moon Legion.
The person in charge of the regular army fighting on the inner line is the captain of the Lantian Brigade, and the deputy commanders of the small mercenary regiment are Gelsu and Montgomerg, and the list of main cadres is as follows: Yode, Minrui, and Montgomer. "Lantian is the captain of the Colorful Dragon Heavy Infantry Brigade, and Montgomer Road is the captain of the Praetorian Guard. The strength of the main cadres on both sides is basically equal, and the four dragon knights who belong to the small mercenary group are evenly distributed between the two military groups.
According to Amy's simple calculation, the two integrated troops will each have 10,000 combat power, plus the cooperation of the dragon knights, even in the face of the two regular legions of Fanos, they will not fall behind in frontal combat.
More than 80% of the combat power of these two groups comes from the small mercenary group, the Imperial Colorful Dragon Knights, and the Imperial Praetorian Guard, and the cadres appointed are all those who hold real power in these three systems, which is enough to ensure that their orders can be carried out smoothly in these two systems.
Just as the Imperial officers were whispering about the group they might be divided into, the curtain of the door of the council hall was suddenly opened, and the cold wind blew in, and Miss Sha Ruo, who had always been known for her steadiness, rushed in wrapped in the cold wind, and the girl quickly walked to Amy and Da Qingshan from the passage where the cadres of the small mercenary group moved sideways, and whispered a few words, and the faces of Amy, who was quite deep in the city, and Da Qingshan, who was quite profound, flashed a look of surprise and shock on their faces at the same time.
