Heart of Empire Chapter 462: Kick off (2 in 1)

In the end, Ice Cave City and Beast Blood Fort still didn't dare to insist on disobeying Dane's order, and they took out their troops in a serious manner. Dust ↖ Fate ↗ Literature √ Learning? Net

It's just that the standard of 10,000 people that Dane gave them was directly discounted in half and turned into 5,000 people.

This makes people feel a little annoying.

Actually, Dane didn't really value the people they sent, but the attitude of those guys made him feel very uncomfortable.

Actually, from this matter, we can also see the mentality of those Ou Ze's old subordinates - vacillating.

They obviously didn't dare to really raise their flag for independence, but they were unwilling to let them follow Dane's orders like this.

Through the matter of deploying troops, their mentality was fully demonstrated. Dare not to disobey the order, but also reluctant to really send 10,000 people. So there was this kind of double-fold result.

Weighing for a moment, Dane felt that this matter could still be put aside. After all, Ice Cave City and Beast Blood Fort at least sent people out, which meant that there was still room for relaxation in the north and east, so Dane didn't intend to start the war lightly.

However, Dane did not intend to let go of the 5,000 people sent from the two cities. He planned to swallow these five thousand people, swallow them into his own hands, and digest them into his own power.

He was going to send a general to take over the army.

Now, under his influence, there are not many people who have actually obtained the rank of general. Counting from the beginning, Chappelle is the lieutenant general, Patience is the lieutenant general, and Verina is the lieutenant general. Further down, Palan is a major general, Oze's former adjutant, and now the commander of the Governor's Guards, and Knight Elder is only a major general.

Besides the five of them, Dane actually has no other generals in his hands.

After the end of Schindler's all-out war, within Dane's influence, there was a reward for meritorious service. Most of the rewards are money, and the rank and treatment of some officers have also been promoted.

But only, Dane was very strict in the hurdle of being promoted from colonel to major general. Those who don't really have the ability and needs to be on their own, Dane will never give the title of 'general'.

It is precisely this situation that has led to the strange situation that among the five generals under his command, there are three lieutenant generals and only two major generals.

Dane didn't intend to take the initiative to change this weird situation. If there is such a need, he certainly doesn't mind recruiting a new general.

For example, this time, Pandorf became the 'lucky guy'.

Before the army was about to leave, Dane revealed his idea that he hoped that someone would go to the east to receive the troops from the direction of Ice Cave City and Beast Blood Fort. Come to the door, Mao Sui recommended himself.

Pandorf.

"Boss, let me go."

Pandolph is also Dane's old subordinate, and he is also a contact of the horror department. Moreover, it is very special that, unlike the other fear ghosts, who were placed by Dane in the White Wolf Army and the Governor's Guards, the troops that Pandolf has always led are all sword dancer troops.

Because, although he is a human being, he is one of the earliest sword dancers in Dane's territory.

As a human sword dancer, he fought with Dane in the north and south. He was already the captain of the sword dancer brigade in the battle against the orcs before Morno died. In the follow-up wars of Dane's forces, he almost didn't lose any of them, and participated in all of them.

Pandov can be regarded as an old subordinate with a long history and many military exploits.

In fact, before he experienced Schindler's all-out war, he already had the rank of colonel, and served as a regiment captain in the main army of Dayne, and he was an out-and-out senior officer.

However, even so, he still felt that he was so close to the threshold of the general officer that he couldn't kick it.

It stands to reason that his qualifications are much older than Palan's.

And this time, the reason why Pandolf came to the door so eagerly was because he hoped to get a chance to kick open the door.

It is good to be a regiment captain, but it is not more attractive than the reputation of a regiment commander or a general.

"Pandov, I'm relieved that you go. However, you must know that I need you to control that army for me, but I can't give you too many people. This time, It's dangerous. Have you thought it through?"

"I've figured it out." The veteran sword dancer said, "Wouldn't it be more dangerous to fight the Northern Army on the outskirts of Ice Cave City?"

This is true. In the previous battle, he personally led the team and acted as the vanguard and main force in the decisive battle.

"Yeah." Dane nodded and said, "I'll give you a squadron of wolf cavalry as your personal guards, and I'll send you thirty more experienced officers and thirty Schindlers. Students who have just graduated from the military department of Lyle University, these will be your team to control that army. People, you can choose by yourself, but I only have one request, give me a smooth control of that army, you have Are you confident to complete the task?"

Pandov gave a military salute to Dane and said, "I promise to complete the task!"

"Okay, let's go."

…

On the night of February 9th, Dane held a military meeting.

During this military meeting, Dane announced the attack plan against Cinderella and set the time for the army to move out.

At the same time, at the end of the meeting, he also announced a personnel transfer: Pandorf was awarded the rank of major general and was appointed as the commander of Schindler's Fourth Army.

The so-called Fourth Legion is naturally the 5,000-man army from Ice Cave City and Beast Blood Castle.

February 10, early morning.

Pan Duofu left Mihe City with the officers he picked out overnight, as well as a squadron's personal guards, a total of more than one hundred people, and headed northeast all the way.

After Pandolf walked for two hours, Dane's army also moved slowly, pointing at Cinderella.

At the moment, Dane's military strength is quite different from the past. Putting aside the Fourth Legion, which has only a shadow for the time being, Dane now has three legions, more than 20 regiments, and a total combatable force of nearly 30,000 troops.

Among them, the most powerful is the Governor's Guard Corps led by Airdell. The establishment of seven regiments, including a 1,000-man heavy cavalry regiment, was the old foundation when Governor Oze went to war, and his combat effectiveness was not bad.

In addition, Dane also split his former main force into two legions.

One is the White Wolf Legion, and the main force is naturally the human troops trained at the White Wolf Fort Base.

The card strength of the White Wolf Legion is actually similar to that of the Governor's Guards Legion. Although there are only six regiments, the main force is composed of two types of white wolf guards and pure swordsmen. They are all very good at frontal combat. At the same time, five brigades of crossbowmen were deployed, and there were seven whole brigades of more than two thousand wolf cavalry. In addition, the Griffon Cavalry Brigade flying in the sky also belonged to the White Wolf Army, and at the same time belonged to the White Wolf Army, as well as Dane's heavy firepower formation.

Actually, although the strength of the White Wolf Army is one or two thousand fewer than that of the Governor's Guards. But in fact, we really want to fight...

Dane was able to rely on 5,000 people at the beginning, which was enough to check and balance the overall situation in Schindler's all-out war. What's more, his White Wolf Legion now has nearly ten thousand establishments.

The head of the White Wolf Legion is currently Lieutenant General Chapple in name, but in fact, when Chapple has become the chief of logistics and is also in charge of the municipal management of White Wolf Fort, in fact, I don't get involved in specific military affairs much anymore. It is Dane himself who truly fulfills the duties of the legion commander.

The third legion that was split from his previous main force was the Cormyr army.

The strength of this legion is the least. The army composed of sword dancers, rangers and night saber cavalry has only four wings. Their ability to fight frontally is a little weak, but if it is their turn to fight a surprise battle, then the Cormyr Sub-Army is simply a nightmare for all enemies.

Besides, there are more than just elves in the current Cormyr army. A mixed team of Minotaur, Medusa, and drow warriors, although they have not experienced the test of war, but once their strength is displayed on the battlefield, I am afraid it will surprise many people! In addition, Dane held a 300-strong cold-blooded cavalry in his hands, and they were also included in the Comilla United.

The cold-blooded cavalry, compared with the human heavy cavalry of the Governor's Guards, is superior in impact and combat effectiveness!

Not to mention, in Dane's direct guard, there is also a 300-strong Templar Knights, of which 100 are elite Templars, and the average professional level has reached level ten or above. In addition, there is a mage group of 300 people and hundreds of druids as a support group for spellcasters.

With such strength, it would not be an exaggeration if he and his family could beat Conley and Ou Ze a year and a half ago during Schindler's all-out war.

It was precisely because of such crushing power in his hands that Dane felt that he was fully prepared to start the war to recover Cinderella.

During the departure of the legion, Dane and his officers and staff often took the information about Cinderella from the Black Hand Academy to study.

At the beginning, after Kangli sacrificed the whole city, there were almost 40,000 demons summoned.

This data is the final data calculated after the Mask Master Blackhand Academy took over Dane's intelligence system.

In the beginning, no one knew how many demons emerged from Cinderella. At that time, according to the initial intelligence estimate, it was 20,000 to 30,000 head.

However, when Dane's forces are bound to wipe out all the demons in Schindler, the mask said that such rough data cannot be used to formulate a battle plan, and more detailed information is necessary. . So, her spies went out everywhere to search for information, estimate the number of demons, and finally came up with a figure of 40,000.

Ten thousand demons have been defeated in White Wolf Castle. The demons of the defeated army scattered to the wilderness, and finally, under Dane's "Destroying Magic Order", they were hunted down by groups of adventurers. There are even many adventurers from other countries, and even some mercenary regiments with outstanding strength. When they hear that there are demons here, and the governor pays a high price, they will come across the ocean, ready to make a fortune. This even included an orc mercenary group of more than 200 people from the eastern wasteland. In this orc mercenary group, there were actually dozens of Kor'kron warriors.

Moreover, Dane also dispatched troops at the beginning to wipe out the demon hordes. Among them, the key targets are of course the White Wolf Fort and the vicinity of Shawan Port.

With the efforts of the adventurers, those demons who retreated from the White Wolf Castle had a very difficult life after being scattered in the southern border. Only half a year after the Magic Extermination Order was issued, there were not many left. In the current southern border, it is rare to hear demons haunting ~IndoMTL.com~ In addition, there are about 10,000 demons who went north to break through the confused city and occupy it.

The remaining 20,000 demons all gathered in Cinderella and the surrounding area. This is the hardest hit area of ​​the demon disaster.

Fortunately, in the past two years, Cinderella and the demons in Lost City have been relatively stable. Although, from time to time, a small group of demons from the Cinderella area would go south to invade the Central County, but generally with the efforts of the adventurers, these demons rarely caused great damage. If it weren't for the fact that the Cinderella region has completely turned into a disaster-stricken area, with no living villages and towns to be seen, and it has become extremely dangerous, I'm afraid there will be more adventurers who dare to venture into it.

For example, there was a deadly mercenary group back then, who dared to go to Cinderella to do things.

The target of Dane's military operation this time is mainly on Cinderella. As for how to solve the problem of Lost City, he had another idea in his head, so he didn't need to worry about it for the time being.

His plan is not complicated. He planned to take the army and sweep around Cinderella first.

The demons outside the city of Cinderella and in the countryside, according to the information given by the mask, there should be three to five thousand demons. The number of these demons is not small. Although they are scattered, if these demons gather together when attacking Cinderella, it will undoubtedly pose a certain threat to Dane's army.

Therefore, he planned to wipe out this area first to relieve future troubles, and then plot Cinderella to fight a decisive battle with the remaining 15,000 demons.

On February 13th, Dane, who was in a hurry, finally entered the Cinderella area and encountered the first battle. At the same time, this also marks the official start of the crusade against demons.
