Chapter 84: To Eat or Not to Eat
Glory City, the capital of the Ron Empire, has fallen!
The news spread to the entire continent like a plague, whether it was the high-level of various races, or the common people, after hearing the news, they all expressed their disbelief, you know, the demon race has been in the holy capital one after another, Thorn City has suffered two defeats, the national strength of the Kotler Empire and the Binis Empire is far inferior to the Ron Empire, but why is this powerful Ron Empire the first to lose?
No one could understand that after Calle heard the news, he didn't need to give any orders, the representatives of the Combined Legion were already waiting in the conference room early, and no matter who entered the room, they could feel the oppressive atmosphere, which was suffocating.
Caleb walked quickly to the main position, and at this time, the sand table of the Battle of Glory City had also been built, and with the support of slightly vague intelligence, everyone finally had a clearer understanding of the unexpected defeat of the Ron Empire.
If you really describe it, this offensive and defensive battle of the Ron Empire is actually not unjustly lost.
Everyone knows that the national strength of the Ron Empire is the strongest, and the naturally invading demons will also focus on this super empire that has been in a stalemate with the demons, and the total number of troops invested by the demons in the Ron Empire is not the previous estimate of 30 to 600,000, but more than one million, including many demons with demons, but this number has essentially exceeded the limit that the Ron Empire as a whole can bear, and the demons are attacking day and night, regardless of means, forcing the Glory City, which has lost the opportunity, to cope with it, even if Marshal Pi Baogu led the army to help, it did not play the slightest role, The entire Glory City was forced into an iron bucket by the demons, and Pi Baogu's reinforcements couldn't get into it at all.
And if they want to find fighters on the periphery, the demon army also did not give a chance, so to speak, the reinforcements led by Pi Baogu watched the fall of Glory City after losing nearly fifty percent.
"With such a large-scale movement of the demon army, how could it be concealed from our reconnaissance, since it was a surprise attack, Glory City would not have fallen so quickly, this is very strange. "For Glory City, in addition to the representatives of the Ron Empire, he is the only one who understands best, the defense strength of Glory City is actually much higher than that of the Holy Capital, and there are elite soldiers inside and outside the city, and the regular legions and elite legions add up to about three or four hundred thousand, but in the case of the continuous tightness of the Luohong Abyss, this part of the troops has also been transferred a lot, but even so, the 100,000 elite soldiers defending the city can still be handled.
Calle frowned, and the people around him were silent, and there was an accident in the most unlikely place, which means that they had won the advantageous situation before, and now they were torn open by the demon army, although I don't know how much the battle damage of the demon clan is now, but the news of the fall of this city alone is very likely to trigger the resistance of those demon surrender warriors, and the current holy capital does not have so many troops to restrain and balance, once the rebellion, the holy capital may also fall.
"Your Majesty...... Commander-in-chief, do you want to ...... all these demon captives now" The representative of the Binis Empire made a gesture of decapitation, and the other representatives did not nod except for the representatives of the dwarves and orcs, and the rest agreed, at this time, this choice should be the best choice, not choosing, it is more unbearable than the result of the choice.
Kahler's face was cloudy, but he didn't speak, but Marshal Seka next to him shook his head and said: "It's too early to say this, besides, we don't have the means to contain the demons, the main purpose of summoning everyone here is not to discuss the captives of the Holy Capital, but how we should face the attack of the demons next." β
The demons who occupied the Ron Empire are now completely capable of attacking from three sides, the orcs of the moat wall, the empty Binis Empire in the north, and the holy capital of the Kotler Empire, after the capture of the Ron Empire, the activity space of the continent has been suppressed to less than one-third, and the current movement of the demon army naturally determines the troop movement of the holy capital and the place of the future decisive battle.
The news is still coming back, but the next news makes everyone's hearts sink more and more to the bottom, the demon army did not go south, but went directly to the moat wall, for any commander, this is a good choice, the orc empire has been occupied, attacking the Cardan Hill Realm and the moat wall, on the one hand, it can receive supplies from the territory of the orc empire, and on the other hand, it also confuses the real intention of the demon army, after all, the orc empire and the Kotler empire are completely adjacent, and the demon army can move the direction of attack at will, but the orc empire and the Kotler empire are tired of copingγ
"Commander-in-chief, the result from the staff is that the demons will still run to the holy capital, and only when the inside and outside are combined, the heavenly moat wall can be taken, and once the holy capital is taken, the Binis Empire is just a treasure trove and can be obtained at your fingertips. Jesse rubbed his fingers and said calmly, the commander of the Black Moon Legion is now one of the supreme generals after Marshal Serka, and no one dares not to ignore his words.
"If that's the case, then we still have to send troops, but in the north of the Kotler Empire, are there still those important towns that can be used as a perimeter defense circle?" Kahler closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "We must not stick to this place, and attacking is the only option, but once we attack, then the defense of the Holy Capital will fall, so we still have to wait." β
What are you waiting for?
Everyone looked at each other, completely unaware of what the young emperor was thinking, but Jesse nodded and said, " On the side of Crescent Moon City, I think there is also a result, but Your Majesty can't be too optimistic, the six provinces in the south, the number of troops that can be deployed, is not much, and it can be pulled out of five to eighty thousand, which is already considered the limit, and it will take a while to get here as soon as possible, but we are afraid that we can't afford to wait, the speed of the demon army is definitely faster than the combined corps of the six provinces, and the troops in Crescent Moon City are already stretched, and it is impossible to send troops now. β
Everyone suddenly, but a little regretful, when Kahler said wait, in fact, some people thought that the battlefield in the south of the Hongdao Mountain Range should also have a result, the crescent moon city unexpectedly held on, so that the attacking demon army directly left the confrontation of the troops, bypassing the crescent moon city and directly rushed to the six southern provinces, but unfortunately the six provinces were clear and clear, and the demon army circled, into the first half of the six provinces, the strong and fast demon army, can only look at the dust raised by the troops in front, that is, can not catch the main force, can not meet the main force in the front, but the side is constantly being attacked, up to now, more than 100,000 demon army, has been dragged to less than 90,000, but the joint legion of the six provinces, but is slowly growing, from the beginning of more than 30,000, to now, it should be about 100,000, logically speaking, the current united legion against the demon army behind the battle is not without the power of a battle, but the leading general is from Crescent City, accustomed to playing sports warfare, and excellent combat achievements, if he is given a period of time, this poor demon army can be dragged to death.
But the current situation is that the Holy Capital has no way to give him enough time not to speak, but also to transfer the troops he has at hand.
"Let that gourmand eat the troops behind him as soon as possible, and then rush here with all his strength to take over the defense of the Holy Capital!" Kahler did not hesitate at all, and gave the order directly, Jesse wanted to speak but did not speak in the end, and finally nodded in agreement. Then Calle presided over a discussion meeting on blocking the demon army, and after the meeting, everyone was worried and dispersed, and Jesse, who was alone, was stopped by Marshal Serka, this rickety old man did not look at this young general who could already walk without love with his senses, the two side by side, the old marshal just sighed, and then said: "At the meeting, do you plan to let the troops in the south directly draw a part and leave a part to contain it?"
Jesse nodded undeniably, and Sekka smiled and said: "What can you think of, do you think Your Majesty can't think of it?" It's not that you don't want to, but you can't think about it, otherwise it means that it's time to chew your tongue again, and the overall situation is current, and they may not be able to do this or that thing, which will only add to the trouble." β
"But even if they eat that demon army, the troops that have been gathered together will be scattered again, at that time, what ability do they have to take over the defense of the Holy Capital? Old marshal, don't forget, there are not only demons around us. Jesse was still young after all, and almost said his hidden worries bluntly, while Serka pouted and smiled bitterly: "Nonsense, I'm one of the dignified imperial marshals, and I still need your back lesson, don't worry, Your Majesty has his own arrangements." After speaking, the old marshal paused and continued: "Our majesty is no worse than His Royal Highness the Regent. β
But this gourmand may not be able to accept this order. Jesse replied with a sly look on his face, while Serka shook his head and said, "It's just a matter of whether to eat or not, but I'm sure this gourmand must not be very elegant." β
"Old marshal, you have always said this, so that I, who is a junior, really have nothing to say. Jesse and Serka both looked at each other and smiled, and both turned their gaze to the south.
There, perhaps, there will really be a turnaround.
However, Jesse seemed to have a sudden feeling, and moved his gaze to the east a little, and when he talked about His Royal Highness the Regent, I don't know if the lord will feel relieved to see him now, and I don't know if he will be able to see this lord after he dies.
Thinking of this, Jesse took a deep breath, saluted Serka solemnly, and walked away in the starlight, while the old marshal looked back at the still brightly lit hall, his face full of hope.
