Volume II, Chapter 60
Demon Alliance Brook Empire, capital Fox Castle, Demon Coalition military headquarters.
When Major General Hampton, commander of the 5th Theater of Operations, arrived as an escort, the whole of Fort Fox was shocked!
The fact that two commanders of a war zone have been defeated in less than two months is simply unheard of in the Demon Alliance!
The boring life of the people has a little more topic, and they like to get together in twos and threes, and relive the bad luck of the two commanders over and over again. And elevate this matter to the second place in all topics, just after the lace news that so-and-so nobleman cheated on Sunday.
And the only ones who knew the whole reason for the whole thing were the high-ranking generals of the Demon Alliance, and everyone below Marshal Verlaine was all moved after receiving the report from the Camp Empire!
Not only will the two transportation lines be completely abandoned, but now the entire Camp Empire is in mourning, and the remaining noble lords together are less than ten!
If an empire does not have enough aristocracy to support the imperial power, then the empire is not far from the day of its demise.
Judging from the current situation of the Camp Empire, it will take at least ten to twenty years to recover.
It is safe to say that no one in the coalition army expects it to be able to help in this war, and everyone is carefully trying to find a way not to let the coalition army be dragged down by the camp empire.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians, nearly 100,000 troops and aristocratic armies are gone, and the losses are so great that even a bloodthirsty person like Marshal Verlaine can't help but be shocked, this qiē happened without seeing a single soldier of the enemy, and Marshal Verlaine still doesn't know who the enemy is!
Although the coalition forces have repeatedly asked for secrecy, the matter is so big. It's still spreading little by little.
The news first circulated among the nobility on a small scale. The young officers of the military department regarded the news in their hands as a treasure. In exchange for the opportunity to get close to the noble ladies. And those ladies used these military secrets as a way to show off their capital, at the dinner table and at the ball, they gently shook their feather fans and opened their mouths with a variety of manners, and lightly passed the news to the sisters ┅┅There were cooks at the table and waiters at the ball, and this matter spread more widely.
After the news was known to the civilians, the information about this group of enemies, such as their true identity, combat capability, clothing, food, housing, transportation, etc., became a hot topic for them, and finally occupied the first place on the people's gossip list soon after.
Since childhood, the people have received an invincible education from the Dark Lord. The other fronts are also victorious┅┅, but the occasional news of defeat lifts their spirits from head to toe.
It's so exciting! The invincible demon alliance finally has an opponent! Defeat this army, that's even more exciting!
Because this unit is so inscrutable and has no name, the general public calls it the 'Phantom Legion', and the first thing acquaintances do when they meet every day is to exchange information about the Phantom Legion. Any latest news from this force, even a few words, will cause a sensation.
There are also people who bet on the true identity of the Phantom Legion, not only are all two dozen legions of the Divine Alliance among the alternatives, but there is also a choice of a newly formed legion, which has attracted countless gamblers to bet frantically.
Most of the gambling money was in the name of the newly formed legions of the Divine Alliance, with a total amount of millions of gold coins. Although several main battle legions are second, they also have a popularity of more than 100,000 or 200,000 ┅┅, but under the name of the Ninth Legion of the Divine Alliance, there are only seventeen copper coins. This is also the result of a snake man who is drunk and does not know how to read.
Compared to the reaction of the population, the attitude of the coalition military headquarters to this matter was both stern and cautious.
Because the Dark Lord once said, "It's normal to fail once." Two failures can be forgiven, if the third failure is again ┅┅, it means that many people will be unlucky!
The generals went into action, interrogating the first two commanders of the Fifth Theater overnight, trying to dig out useful information from their mouths, even a little bit.
In order to achieve this goal, they even did not hesitate to torture the two commanders┅┅ These two poor generals, their current life is not as good as that of the captured enemy spies.
Emperor Camp was not happy, although he was beaten so that he didn't have an inch of good skin on his buttocks, he still had to lie on the throne and search for information on the rank of the U Jiahu H, and submit it to the military headquarters for investigation.
On the other hand, Sves. Major General Hepburn set off for Camp again, leading people along the way to collect all the clues of the enemy army, so as to be more sure.
In Svis. Immediately after the return of Major General Hepburn, the War Department decided to convene an emergency meeting, which was personally chaired by Marshal Verlaine, given the dire situation in the Camp Empire.
Early this morning, Sves. Major General Hepburn stood outside the door of the conference room again.
As a major general, he could not enter the conference room before the meeting began, and against Swees. Hepburn said that he was also reluctant to enter before the meeting began, he really couldn't face the obsessive eyes of those 'old perverts'┅┅ If it weren't for Sweez's prominent position in the Broke Empire, he would have been dragged by this group of 'old perverts' to forcibly insult him.
Sweets. Hepburn, who is the only nephew of the current emperor of the Bruck Empire, is also the most outstanding of this generation of royal relatives, no matter in any way, the six princes are difficult to match.
Sweets. Hepburn's father died when he was ten years old, and he grew up with his mother, and perhaps his personal temperament came more from his mother.
Because his father dedicated himself to saving the current emperor, and because his ability is indeed outstanding, the current emperor trusts and values this nephew very much, and has already cultivated him as the first minister of the empire in the future.
At the age of sixteen, he was given the title of nobility, and now he is twenty years old. Hepburn was already a third-class duke.
And he did not disappoint his uncle, no matter what the position was done in an orderly manner, and now he was about to enter the final stage of preparation for the important ministers, that is, the period of snow hiding, because the emperor had six sons, and by the time the old emperor was warped, these six sons would inevitably have a fight, and all the incumbent ministers would inevitably be implicated.
Sweets. Hepburn stood quietly, his tall figure perfectly accentuated by his straight general's uniform, and the rank on his shoulders reflected the dazzling sunlight.
He rested his hand lightly on the hilt of the sword. One hand caress the fence. Blonde hair flutters in the wind. The lilac eyes revealed a sense of peace┅┅ He was staring into the distance!
This is the most unmissable landscape in the Bruk Empire, and it is also the first of the ten landscapes of the Demon Alliance-Svis. Hepburn's gaze!
Of course, most of the men call it - Audrey. Hepburn's gaze.
Almost everyone fell for it. People with a flamboyant personality like to see the subtle movements of his gaze before and after, they say it is beautiful, people who pay attention to content like to see him stand motionless, they say it is shocking, and those who have no pursuit, they naturally can't say why, so they have to, have to like Sveis the most. Hepburn is all ┅┅ Frankly speaking, Swees. Major General Hepburn is actually a very normal young male. He just speaks softly, his movements and postures are a little more gentle, his mind is a little more detailed, and his eyes are a little more charming┅┅ He likes loneliness more than bustle, he likes flowers more than swords, he likes to stay with women more than men, he likes to handle housework more than he likes to deal with government affairs. Major General Hepburn,' someone came up and said, 'The meeting has begun, and Marshal Verlaine has let you in. ''Okay, thank you. Sveis only nodded, and then turned and walked towards the door.
In order to avoid causing unpleasantness, he decided not to smile at people casually.
Last time, it was also in this position, that he smiled at an officer, and the guy swaggered around saying that he had gotten a smile from Svees, and was hunted down by a horde of jealous aristocrats of both sexes - and he was still humming in his hospital bed.
The hard soles of the boots are on the marble floor. It makes a very crisp 'pop' sound.
'Hello sir!' Sveth stood upright by the door and saluted the circle of senior generals sitting at the conference table.
'Please come here. Major General Sveys. Verlaine nodded to him, "Tell me what you found in the Camp Empire this time." ''Yes, sir!'' Rear Admiral Sveis walked over to the conference table, his back to the massive map of the Camp Empire.
'You can get started. ''Yes, sir. Sveis picked up the stick and pointed to the map.
'From my field reconnaissance, I can deduce that the enemy forces do exist. And the approximate sphere of activity of this force is in this area - in the middle of the two transport lines. Sveis said: 'We found something that was astonishing. One of the generals eagerly asked, 'What is it?' 'These two large-scale riots were the work of them!' Sveis said with pain, 'By all indications, it was the commander of this force who took advantage of all the instability within Camp to create this qiē and defeat ourselves.' The muscles in Verlaine's face twitched: 'You continue. ''These two riots have something in common: they were both provoked by this enemy force before the riots, and we can't catch their shadow afterwards.'' And they've been in camp for more than three months. Sveis said, "This means that they are fewer in number than we had originally thought!' Are you saying that the Camp Empire and the Fifth War Zone were defeated at the same time by a divine army of less than 100,000 men?" One of the generals asked in surprise: 'Major General, do you have the evidence?' 'Unfortunately, I have.' Sveis said, "I have learned in detail that the enemy forces that appeared at the same time before the two riots -- about twenty regiments, or about fifty men, in the form of the Divine Alliance." And judging by their whole plan, the ultimate goal is to mess us up. The more manpower is invested in the pre-riot, the greater the impact, and the larger the area and duration of the riot, the longer the scope and duration of the riot. ''Your Excellency's judgment of the size of the enemy's forces on this basis alone is somewhat arbitrary. A lieutenant general staff officer of the military department said.
"Then please think about it, sir, in the second riot, in the face of the chaotic coalition army, why didn't they choose one to encircle and annihilate?" Sveys said a little louder: "At that time, not only the armies of the various factions of the Camp Empire were in chaos, but also the troops of the Fifth War Zone. When several sides are mixed together and fighting their own battles, isn't it a good opportunity for annihilation? If the main army and the supreme commander of a war zone of the Demon Coalition can be annihilated, which commander of the Divine Coalition is willing to give up this opportunity? Of course not, it is because he does not have enough manpower! Not enough to eat any of these troops. There was silence in the room, so quiet that everyone could hear their own heartbeats. In the Demon Alliance, all officers have always received a military education that makes offense a creed. Everyone asked themselves┅┅ It is true that no one wants to give up this opportunity. If he's a normal person.
'Fifty thousand┅┅fifty thousand┅┅' after a long time. Verlun broke the silence with a hoarse voice: "The dignified Fifth Theater of the Coalition Army, the dignified Camp Empire, will be beaten by 50,000 people and have no power to fight back┅┅They have fallen, reduced to the point that even the Divine Coalition Army is inferior to ┅┅I actually have such an embarrassing day, even if there are frequent good news on other fronts┅┅How can I face the Dark Demon King?''Coming!' Verlaine picked up his fist and slammed it on the table.
'Here!'' 'Give me orders,' Verlaine said word for word, 'Correct the two former commanders of the Fifth Theater on the spot!' 'Yes!'' Listen to me, and you must take to heart the words of Major General Sweez, especially the number of enemy troops. Remember!' Verlaine's fierce eyes swept over everyone present: 'In all the written records, whether in battle plans, reports, or meeting notes, the number of this enemy army should be 150,000! 150,000! Then say,' Verlaine sat down and waved his hand at Sweez: 'How are they fighting?' In terms of combat, their most striking trait is their swiftness and agility, and they kill with one blow. Sveis said: "During the riot, many troops were crowded together. They came and went freely in it, but we didn't take a single captive. Although it was harassment, it was very successful in terms of tactical use. And their predetermined combat goals are all completed at one time. Never mud and water. ''As far as you're concerned,' asked Verlaine, 'what do you have to say?'' Yes, sir. In my opinion, our troops cannot outrun them. Sveis thought for a moment: "To deal with such a mobile army, it is better to first limit their space for movement, and then cut off their rear routes, and force them to come out and fight us head-on." ''What about their identities?'' According to the analysis of our intelligence department, it is highly likely that they are a new legion secretly formed by the Divine Alliance, as can be seen from their equipment and logistics. Sves, who is the deputy chief of intelligence, said: "Their soldiers use better weapons and armor than our officers, and the logistics are very complete, and they have been in the camp empire for more than three months, and we have not received a single report of them looking for food." "And what?'' More than two dozen legions of the Divine Alliance are fighting against us, and even the generals who are a little famous are not absent, and the commanders of this army are very sophisticated, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers is extremely high┅┅These are not something that can be trained in a year or two. ''How did they get in?'' I have a report from the Camp Empire, and they didn't pay attention to it before. Sveys said: "Three months ago, patrol warships in the Camp Empire disappeared one after another, and as recently nine warships had disappeared. ''Three months ago!'''
'I don't think the bastard has enough whips!' said Verlaine, 'I'll let him enjoy it again!' The so-called whipped 'bastard' probably belongs to the current Emperor of the Camp Empire.
As soon as Marshal Verlaine said this, the emperor fell silent again┅┅'Maritime transport and supplies,' Verlaine looked at the large map on the wall: 'It is indeed a good idea to ensure quantity and speed┅┅. ''Yes,'' said one of the lieutenant generals, ''The supply of 50,000 troops requires a hundred ordinary transport ships, plus the warships to escort the troops┅┅ This time the Divine Coalition has invested a lot of money!'' Finally,' Verlaine looked at Sveis again: 'What do you think about the commander of this force?' about this commander┅┅' This is the first time Sveis has stammered today: 'He has only a vague shadow in my mind.' Judging from the use of his tactics, he should have been over forty years old and had received a strict military education. Although the tactics he uses are very simple and direct, he can still grasp the key when grasping the overall situation┅┅ His plan is also very bold, and in some places it can almost be said to be absurd, but the action is very smooth. This shows that his subordinates believe in him, and such prestige and experience cannot be possessed by young generals. ''And what?'' He should be a person with a wide range of interests, good at thinking, and proficient in human affairs. Sveis went on to say: 'In the two riots, he took advantage of people up and down the camp empire. From the emperor to the commoners, there was not a single person whose reaction was not within his calculations. Judging the psychology of others is quite accurate - this is what he is most capable of. ''Well,' said Verlaine, 'but we will not be bad.'' ''Yes, sir. Sveis said, "I suggest that the Ministry of Intelligence should investigate all the nobles of the Divine Alliance one by one according to the above conditions, and this will be beneficial for our next action!" Verlaine nodded in agreement, "Order all of us in the Divine Alliance to do our best to investigate this person." In addition, the General Staff immediately drafted an application to ask the Dark Demon Temple to awaken the three major demon generals who were lurking in the Divine Alliance. ''Yes!'' 'Now,' said Verlaine, 'we will discuss a very practical question—who will be sent to lead the Fifth Theater of Operations, and who will be sent to defeat this enemy!'' (to be continued......
