742 Pelager (1)
Salton, the undersecretary of the German military department and the chief of the campaign in the Peragle area, sat in front of the huge glass window inlaid with "flowers" and silver, looking at the deep starry sky outside the window, lost in thought.
The right hand resting on the armrest shook slightly subconsciously. In the clear wine glass in his hand, the golden "color" of Dirans and the crystal clear ice cubes were spinning, clinking and clinking.
This is a castle located on the northern border of Ruod.
The solid outer wall is covered with cyan vines, and the extended guard tower is irregularly pentagonal, surrounded by a huge gray stone 5 meters later, standing quietly on this majestic mountain At the top,
If you raise your eyes in the early morning and look into the distance, you can see the golden "colored" sun rising from the mountains, illuminating every inch of the earth here,
This fortress was named Fort Tikhborg. It is one of the most important strongholds built by the Rude Kingdom to resist the invasion of the Swadians in the central region. The huge mountain wall that winds like a long snake can reach more than 40,000. If you want to attack , Not having an army of more than 10,000 is simply a delusion
It is like a huge gate that cuts off the mountains in front of you and crosses it, which is the "fertile" Peragar area in the south of Swadian. In order to build this fortress, the Kingdom of Rude invested in people The money and manpower of slapped tongues "spent" a full twenty years.
Twenty years of uninterrupted operation, this fortress, which was originally only used for garrison, has been developed into a city with a 17-mile city wall and a control area of more than ten miles.
Although, compared to many large cities behind, this city is a unified military and civilian, but it is not as easy as destroying an ordinary fortress to destroy this fortress. The sentry towers all over the fortress have an extremely complete defense system. The huge five-star turrets extending from the center in all directions turn the entire fortress into a rattling hedgehog. The urban population of nearly 10,000 provides strong human support for this dual-use fortress.
The name of the fortress comes from the Duke of Tihlberg, who committed suicide 15 years ago. He is the superintendent of this fortress and the most steadfast supporter of the active attack on Swadian.
His expectations for this fortress are just as clear as he had strongly proposed to use this stronghold as a support point to win the southern region of Swadian in one fell swoop.
Standing on the starry sky, the face of Dunn was "gloomy", and the roaring mountain wind made a rustle through the huge glass windows. According to the strong "sexual" Duke Tichberg After learning that his 14th proposal was again rejected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the 74-year-old man who already knew that he had no hope of realizing his ambitions jumped out of this window and was as straight as a cliff. Fort,
Fall from the top of the mountain to the gorge surrounded by clouds and mountains, and use a kind of blood that belongs to the German soldiers to "shoot" on the enemy's land.
Salton, who was just in his early days, was still the adjutant of the Duke of Tihlberg. After 7 days of searching, he found the dead corpse of the old Duke on a hanging tree out of the cliff, Sol Dayton didn’t like this more tragic ending. After settling down the old duke, Salton left the military and returned to his territory to become an ordinary lord. If it weren’t for the Swadian attack last year, he Salton He is still a guy in his own territory who "has eaten" and waits to die
In a sense, the Duke of Tihlberg who jumped off the castle is the same person as himself,
Soldiers, pure soldiers, playing politics and power is not what Salton is good at. He just wants to live, but fate pushes him to the top of the "wave",
The Ministry of King Affairs has decided to start war against Swadian. In addition to the 3 "excellent" legions that will be "pumped" from the Dorok Mountains, which will arrive within the day, there will also be 5 standing legions stationed in Kyoto. In the game, an infantry corps and an axe warrior corps were called out to join the invasion of the Peragle area. The total force is 110,000, which is almost one-third of the current strength of the Rude Kingdom. See this time. The German Ministry of Military Affairs has a certain heart for the Perager region
"Headache"
Salton stared quietly at the starry sky, outside the window, the sky was full of stars. The fortress was buckled on the top of the mountains like a silver lid. Only rely on "physical" eyes. There is no way to know what is outside of this lid.
This time, those who can be selected for the mission are the absolute direct descendants of the Royal Family of Rude. Every general who will meet here is the most loyal follower of the Royal Family.
Among them are veterans who have experienced battles, as well as newcomers who are not afraid of everything. There are generals who have been promoted step by step from frontline commanders. There are also ages that can be traced back to the feats in the founding war of the Rude Kingdom. A hodgepodge, the kingdom put this half-cooked meal in front of Salton at once, making this general with the name of "remaining lion" also feel a headache
This is a mixed army of old and new. In terms of combat power, I really don't know how to describe it. It can be imagined that once the German army crosses this mountain range, a battle that has already been built up will come out like a volcano,
Behind this beautiful mountain. In just a few years, the powerful country that dominates the Northwest with a powerful force of thunder, how can it sit back and watch the South of Swadian be encroached on, that is the opponent that he really has to face, the "fine" soldier, The undefeated ten thousand lion, and the six great war gods who are watching the world, I am afraid that at this moment, they are already sharpening their fangs and claws, and are considering how to tear themselves to pieces, but the Ministry of Military Affairs has sent such a configuration. , It’s really dumbfounding
This may be a great leap forward with victory, expansion of territory, and success, or it may be a dead end, defeated by army, stinking for thousands of years, and unclear future, but I have no choice.
This is a battle to bet on the Nordic luck. If the southern region of Swadian can be taken, the power of the Nordic Kingdom will enter the middle of the Great Six for the first time, forming a real situation of contending with the Northwest Falcon dynasty. This is a grand strategy. If we don’t want to wait until the Vicia Falcons have integrated resources, and then carry out a mortal blow to us, we must build a barrier between the two that can kill the Vikings’ sharp forces.
This battle may be won but not defeated, otherwise you and I are both ruthless sinners. Here, Salton can feel the old prince’s gaze watching him,
"Salton, bring my pen, I want to write another plan for the severe drought in the south of Swadian this year, and I can attack all the way"
"Salton, I'm so disappointed. The guts of your military department rejected my plan just because of a shortage of food..."
"Unfortunately, I would like to use this remnant to expand the territory of the kingdom, but the kingdom does not have this heart." The sonorous voice of the old duke when he made a "handover" suggestion was like the cry of the cold wind outside urging from time to time
A very magnetic and respectful voice sounded outside the "soul" room, "Lisandro, Fourth Banner of the Third Legion was ordered to report."
Salton ignored it. He sat quietly for a while, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, got up and walked on the soft and thick pure sheep's wool carpet to the desk to put down the glass, and then slowly said: "Come in. "
The "door" of the room was gently opened from the outside, and a young nobleman who was about 30 years old, clean, handsome, straight and "tall" appeared at the "door". The long wait didn't seem to cause any trouble to the young nobleman. He appeared calmly and calmly in Salton's eyes.
"Lisander Rollon made a gesture to the young nobleman, while walking around to the large desk and sitting down
"It's an adult" Lisandro walked into the room without a hassle. After stopping at a distance of three meters from Salton, he stood up and saluted, then pulled the chair away and sat down. His movements are very standard, but they are not rigid and rigid. In the rigor of a soldier, he carries the elegance and rigor that is unique to the nobleman.
Salton smiled slightly, he was very satisfied with his junior. In Lisandro, he does not have the decadent temperament like the nobles in Kyoto,
The Lisan family is a wealthy family in Kyoto. The relationship with the Salton family is very good. Salton’s wife is the younger sister of the Lisan family. This Lisandro is the son of the Lisan family. His eldest son is in He died in the war against Swadian 4 years ago. Regarding this incident, Salton was often talked about by his wife. If he stayed in the Southern Army, he would not die. Can respond with a wry smile, the Southern Army is only a second-line in the Rude Kingdom, and there are too few young people who can catch the eye
Waiting for Lisandro to sit down, Salton smiled relievedly, "Last time I saw you in Hrusburgh, you were just an intern wearing a wooden sword. I don’t want to have seen you in 4 years. , You are now a general who can be alone. If your aunt knows, she will definitely be very happy, but as a liaison officer from Kyoto, I want to ask you about this battle."
"I think this battle will go smoothly." Lisandro was taken aback. He didn't expect that Salton would ask him this question. This time he will attack Swadian. The kingdom of Rude is all in hand,
He owed himself and organized a language to say, "Although I studied in Kyoto, I also know that the Swadian Kingdom was defeated by the Vikings in the northwest in recent years~ IndoMTL.com~ the domestic elite ten not Save one, hundreds of thousands of troops were suppressed by the tens of thousands of cavalry in the eastern court. This year, the drought in the south and the "turmoil" in Paravin have left them in a state of exhaustion and no longer have time to consider our invasion. Believe me Wherever the army goes, those Swadians who are so hungry that they can't even hold their weapons inevitably flee. If nothing happens, we can take Pelager within a month."
"Oh, do you think so?" A bit of cold light in Salton's eyes was sharp as needles, and his face was "calm." He continued to ask noncommittal." This thought is yours alone, or This time the generals in Kyoto are all thinking like this"
"Well, everyone thinks so." After hesitating, Lisandro nodded in response.
"Within one month...very pertinent inference, but one month later? Where shall we go..."
Salton turned his back on his back, slowly got up from behind the desk, turned to a huge large 6 map behind, and stared at the map behind,
The room is quiet. Lisandro has no words. He silently stood behind Salton. A trace of "confusion" involuntarily appeared in his eyes.
