Chapter 269: The Southern Front Defeated

The defection of the two military commanders together is undoubtedly a great shame for the Seiya Empire. They didn't publicize it, and they didn't even say a word about the fierce battles in the 567 defense area.

And Fang Mo's confidential information is also very good, everything is as usual.

It wasn't until two months later that the war officially broke out.

The cannon fodder front line of the Eastern Expeditionary Army's southern front was subjected to continuous shelling by Seiya, while the northern front was silent.

The commander of the group army, Elfa, once thought that the Khalifa had defected, and immediately sent someone to invite him to the headquarters of the group army for tea.

Not long after Khalifa arrived at the front, he looked confused in the tea room.

Alpha personally inquired.

"Khalifa Governor! Have you betrayed the Holy Empire, and what benefits have they given you? ”

"Commander Alpha! I had just arrived at the front, and I had been with the Marquess of HΓ€agendar before, and he could prove my innocence. Besides, Commander, if I really defect, the enemy will symbolically shell my military defense area, and I won't be so blatantly inactive. ”

"Metropolitan Governor of the Califa, we're just making routine inquiries, is your legion doing anything again? There is a lot of pressure on our southern front, and the Seiya Empire has just produced a new mobile fortress that has been put into use, so we can't really be cannon fodder. ”

"I will strictly investigate when I go back, and strive not to drag the group army back."

"Okay, speed up the investigation and report."

Before the Khalifa could leave the inquiry room, an adjutant hurried to report and reported: "Commander! The 9th Army was dispersed, and the commander of the fortified fortress sent an order not to retreat, otherwise it would be treated as deserters. ”

Alpha immediately scolded: "It's really a group of rice buckets, and the army is not kind, if you say that you will change your face, you will change your face, didn't you say before that you can retreat?" ”

"This...."

The adjutant was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Let the 102nd Army be on top, he fought this battle of NND."

"Commander, it's too late, thousands of steel fortresses have been pushed over, and the people near the fortress are all high-ranking monks of the second or third order, and there are infantry troops following behind the fortress."

"Shrink the defense line sideways, since the army won't let us go back, then let Seiya pass, wait! Let's let the 102nd Army go up symbolically and give it a look. ”

A few sharp flashes of light flashed in Elfa's eyes, and he turned to the Khalifa and said, "Go and find out." ”

Khalifa nodded fiercely, and when he went out, he rode on a tall horse and ran towards the Crusader Legion's station, the 21st Army can do things only the Crusader, and the other legions of thousands of people are completely decorations.

But now the entire 21st Army Defense District is calm, which is a bit abnormal.

The Khalifa galloped for a day, changing horses several times in between.

Before evening, we finally arrived at the 926 heights.

All the way are fighting, into the 21st military defense area, the style of painting changes abruptly, on the hillside of the high and low, large and small stone houses, countless, cooking smoke, quiet and harmonious.

The Seiya Empire took the lead in attacking from the southern front, and the central line only pinned down the Holy Empire's forces with artillery bombardment, while the 21st Army on the northernmost side did not even shell it.

And around the 926 Heights, there are even more eyes, chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, and farmers are farming, and after months of construction, a small town has been formed, and there are several small factories.

Seeing this, Khalifa was shocked.

Moreover, there was not a single guard on the high ground, Khalifa couldn't help but be furious, quickly climbed the high ground, and looked at the military fortress in front of him, Fang Mo happened to be stretching on the terrace, and the two happened to look at each other.

The Khalifa immediately decided that the Kuka Master had defected, but why didn't they attack?

Fang Mo frowned and said, "Grand Governor of the Califa? ”

In order to avoid miscalculation, Fang Mo greeted the calipha from afar, and then went to the 926 Heights to greet him in person.

"Lord Khalifa, you can put down your gun. You see! It's a good build! ”

Fang Mo stood on the high ground and said with a smug smile.

"What's going on on the other side?"

"Oh. The enemy's 567 defense zone affected our development of animal husbandry, so I took it down by the way. ”

"What about the other two zones?"

"Oh, when we attacked the 567 defense area, we captured the commanders of the two defense areas alive, and then ....."

Fang Mo told the Khalifa everything in 1510.

"You also went to the Siege of Steel? Look for death! ”

Khalifa was dumbfounded, and beads of sweat broke out on his brows.

"Governor, I see that you are tired of carriages and horses, go to the fortress and rest for a while."

Fang Mo just laughed, and then took Khalifa into the 567 defense zone.

"What did you do in the Siege of Steel?"

Khalifa glanced at the 567 defense area and asked with a frown.

"Go and save a few people, the families of the other two defense district commanders, this is also a condition for their cooperation, and the radius of 100 kilometers is under the control of the 21st Army."

Fang Mo waved his hand and said arrogantly, he is now 9 stars in the three-star mansion, and he has nothing to keep a low profile in front of the Khalifa.

The Khalifa had long known that the Overseer's strength had risen like a rocket, so he had been more restrained until he figured out the facts.

And he dared to come alone, in fact, from his heart, he didn't believe that Fang Mo could rebel, after all, the Crusader Legion still had a great foundation in the rear.

"The Seiya Empire has broken through to the Quebec Pass on the southern front, and the cannon fodder corps temporarily put together by the Eastern Expeditionary Army can't stop it at all, and the main energy of the empire is in the mechanical wings, and the situation in southern Xinjiang in the short term is not optimistic."

"I heard that the Empire's war in the northern frontier is not smooth, although I have taken a few cities of Mechanical Wings, but it is difficult to defend."

"You're well-informed, what's next?"

The Khalifa figured out the situation, most of the impatience in his heart disappeared, and he walked into the palatial military fortress, sighing and asking.

"The Seiya Empire has nothing to fear, what is terrible is the forbidden realm."

Fang Mo's face was grim, motioned for the caliph to take a seat, and said in a deep voice.

"The Holy Empire has been bordered by the Forbidden Realm for countless years, and your knowledge of it is very limited, how do you know that it is more terrifying than Seiya?"

"The Forbidden Realm is an empire of magical energy, and they seem to be able to restrain the power of the person."

"There are many strange forces in the spirit realm, and it is normal for the forces to restrain each other, although the magic power is strong, but they are extremely dependent on the magic source spar, and the battle is not continuous, but the magic energy tower in their territory is indeed powerful."

"The Holy Empire has not tried to communicate"

"You wouldn't know that the Forbidden Realm is the realm of the undead, would you? They only flock to the Demon Source Crystal, and are not interested in other things at all. ”

"So?"

Fang Mo pretended not to know, revealing a face full of doubts.

"What's going on with those factories?"

"When we come back from the Seiya Empire, we can't do this with the equipment and production line we bought by the way, but with the first set, there will be a second set and a third set."

"Alright! I can't stay here for long, I have to go back and write a report on the situation of the 21st Army. ”

Khalifa got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Fang Moyi.

"Governor, do you still do this little thing yourself? You might as well move your office to the fort and let all of your confidential departments come over. ”

"Forget it, I can't get used to such a luxurious military fortress."

Khalifa was telling the truth, this place was too much of an eyesore, and it was easy to be taken care of on the battlefield.

Fang Mo saw that the caliph really had no intention of staying, so he no longer insisted on it, so he quickly walked into the underground arsenal, and the two rickety old men had been waiting for a long time.

"Great Divine Lord, you are in no trouble, are you? If so, we can help you. ”

The red-robed rickety old man asked with great concern.

Fang Mo shook his head and said, "I'm not in trouble, do you have anything else to teach me?" ”

The two couldn't help but look at each other and shook their heads.

"Where is the Magical Tome you spoke of now?"

Fang Mo pondered for a moment and continued to ask.

"The capital of Daravo, where is it impossible to get by, there are several archmages in charge, and the magic holy book is the treasure of the forbidden realm." 33

"It seems that the Icon Demon God is not very popular in the forbidden realm."

Fang Mo frowned helplessly, he originally thought that he could go to the forbidden realm to do a lot of work with his own icon relics, who knew that the forbidden realm was now advocating the Holy Light Demon God, and the two rickety old men were wanted because they believed in the Holy Icon Demon God, so they fled to the Seiya Empire.

The Blue Bubble Old Man also sighed and said, "Only the believers who retrieve the Magic Sacred Book Icon Demon God can return to the peak and control the forbidden realm, but it seems that it is still very far away. ”

Fang Mo said with a smile: "I will retrieve the Magic Sacred Book, but now I need you to gather your companions to refine the Demon Source Crystal on a large scale, didn't you fail last time because there were not enough Crystals?" ”

The red-robed old man shook his head and said, "We still need magic energy warships, so we'll lend us those airships." ”

"You can turn them into magical warships?"

"Yes, you have to have enough magic source crystals, plus some special magic metals."

"Magic metal? What is it? Fang Mo asked curiously.

"Energy Eater!"

The red-robed old man replied in an expectant tone.

The black-robed old man said with a sad face: "Energy Devouring Demon Gold is a magical metal that can evolve itself, but it is basically strategically stored in the forbidden realm, and its birth conditions are harsh, and it is almost impossible to find it outside. ”

"Therefore, we can only carry out a relatively basic transformation, Lord God, it is already very good that we can have these demon source crystals, and we don't expect to have energy devouring magic gold again."

The old man in the red robe seemed to be very satisfied.

"You know how to build airships?"

"It's too simple, the Seiya Empire's airships are too backward, snail-like, and bloated in size to be comparable to the magical warships of the Forbidden Realm."

"Wouldn't the forbidden realm be able to easily take down the Seiya Empire?" Fang Mo said with a smile.

The red-robed old man was stunned and said: "Hehe, it's just that the single body is relatively powerful, but the drive, protection, and firepower of the magic energy battleship all need to consume the magic source spar, and it can't last long, and the energy devouring magic gold is very scarce even in the forbidden field, only a few elite magic energy legions have those warships, and the other magic energy legions are all magic energy battleships made of wooden materials, once the magic source spar is exhausted, it will be destroyed instantly." ”

Fang Mo thought about it carefully, and felt that the "Energy Devouring Demon Gold" that the two elders said might be the "Energy Devouring Gold".

"Two seniors! What do you think this is? ”

Fang Mo casually took out a delicate metal box and placed it on the long table.

"Well, a familiar smell!"

The red-robed old man's face changed, and then he said excitedly.

The thin old man of Blue Bubble frowned, and said softly: "It's still a very pure feeling, and only the Energy Devouring Demon Gold that has given birth to a mechanical demon dragon can be called top-grade." ”

The two old men kept twitching their thin noses, and their mouths were full of praise.

Fang Mo immediately realized that he was right.

Smackβ€”β€”! The red-robed old man opened the metal box, and his shriveled and thin face turned red, which was not the physiological feedback that the undead should have.

"It's really Energy Devouring Gold."

The withered index finger of the blue-robed old man's right hand trembled the magic gold, and he shouted out in a lost voice.

"And it's the ultimate Energy Eater Gold! It's just that... The amount is too small. ”

The face of the red-robed old man first flashed with joy, and then said with a little regret.

"How much is enough for the two seniors?"

Fang Mo raised his eyebrows and asked seriously.

The red-robed old man lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said, "A magic energy battleship needs at least 150 pounds to complete the transformation. And the metal box is only about 0.5 pounds, which is too much. ”

The blue-robed rickety old man couldn't help but shake his head, these are indeed too little.

Seeing the second elder's expression of regret and regret, Fang Mo couldn't help but secretly shake his head, and thought for a moment: "Then I'll give you 150 pounds, I want to see your skills first." ”

The two old men were stunned at the same time, clearly not believing that Fang Mo could have 150 pounds, and said at the same time: "Lord God, don't be joking. ”

Fang Mo didn't say a word, and directly took out a big vat, boom!

"150 pounds of Energy Eater!"

"150 pounds of Energy Eater!"

......

The red-robed old man couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.

The blue-robed old man's gloomy eyes flashed, and instantly became brighter, shining with a faint blue light, and slowly walked towards the vat, his hands trembling and said, "Lord Divine Lord is majestic and wise!" ”

"What else is needed?"

Fang Mo saw that the mood of the two old men gradually stabilized, and continued to ask.

"Give us some territory, preferably some giant mountains! We need to make some large magic circles in hidden places, and... It's just that more skeleton warriors need to be summoned. The red-robed old man blurted out.

Fang Mo replied very happily: "There is nothing else here, there are many mountains, you can pick them at will, and then tell me, I will block them." ”

"Great, we finally have a foothold."

The red-robed old man said with excitement on his face like a wanderer who had not returned home for a long time.

It seems that these two old undead have been wandering for a long time, and because of the problem of faith, they may be wanted everywhere in the forbidden realm, and the demon hunting team of the Seiya Empire should have been instigated by them.

Fang Mo was very relieved and adopted two more lovely helpers.

However, the battle report of the Holy Empire was not very worrying.

On the southern front in the eastern part of the empire, the 102nd Army was indeed a symbolic resistance, but it was all dispersed in ten minutes.

The only way they could escape was to the north, and no one dared to go to the ancient forests in the south, because there were legends of witchcraft. If the front can't withstand it, the Quebec Pass in the rear will have to face the steel torrent of the Seiya Empire.

Originally, the Holy Empire had the advantage of being a strong person, but now in the face of the Seiya Empire's composite mechanical troops, that advantage is gone.

And in this attack, Seiya almost poured all his strength into the country, sending a lot of three-star monks to the palace.

Therefore, Quebec only resisted for half a day, and was broken through by the steel torrent of the Seiya Empire, and retreated to the second line of defense with relatively strong fortifications, which was able to withstand the decline.

Some people died, but not completely......
