Heart of Empire Chapter 529: Battle on two sides

Under the will of King Dane, Prime Minister Verina activated the entire state machine, Schindler. In the past four years, Schindler's overall administrative strategy has been biased towards peaceful development under the circumstances of domestic stability and peace.

But now, the huge state apparatus has begun to change its appearance and head towards war.

From here, we can also see the development of Schindler in the past four years.

At the beginning, when warlords were fighting among themselves, it was impossible for all the warlord forces in the entire country to gather 100,000 elite regular troops and 100,000 garrison regiments, let alone 300,000 militias. Without the rapid development in the past four years, without the improvement of the organizational structure of the national government agencies, and the great unification of the entire country, it is absolutely impossible to achieve this level.

This is also why countries like Florence, Pudri, and Victoria are afraid of Schindler, and even the strongest empire on the continent, like Promethean, is afraid of Schindler. fear.

I have to be afraid, as far as the power of the Kingdom of Schindler is concerned, even if it really launches an all-out war with the Promexin Empire, it will be overwhelmed. Muscles and bones will be shaken at the root.

It's just that the emergence of the Cursed Church has brought about great changes in the situation of the entire continent.

…

On July 17th, Emhar officially started a war with the undead army coming from the direction of Broken Dragon Peak.

The patriarch of the Thunder Clan, Muken-Thunder, is Emhar's supreme commander. He led his dwarf warriors, as well as the elite troops supported by the Fifth Legion, to fight against the undead.

At least 40,000 undead transformed from elves, around Emhar.

The undead come along the rugged mountain road, which is densely covered with dwarven bunkers and outposts.

Actually, this is Emhar's first line of defense. In these bunkers and outposts, human soldiers and dwarves have fought against the undead many times.

According to Muken's estimate, even if he only relied on these outposts and bunkers, he was confident that with 4,000 soldiers as the benchmark, he could keep the undead out for more than two months.

There are indeed a large number of undead armies, but the rugged mountain road is obviously not suitable for army operations. In fact, there are many low-level undead, because of the lack of wisdom, and because the number of legions is too large, it is impossible for commanders such as high-level undead, corpses, and necromancers to control the actions of each undead perfectly, resulting in When traveling in the Broken Dragon Peak area, a large number of undead casualties.

Basically, they all fell off the mountain road.

It is just such a reduction in personnel. During the march of the undead in the past few days, they have suffered more than 500 losses.

When they entered Emhar's bunker defense area, the undead were even more hindered.

The bunker built by the dwarves is quite level. It is usually built on some difficult terrain, but the enemy must go on the road if they want to attack Emhar.

Of course you can't find many places like this in plains and deserts. However, in the entire rugged mountainous area, there are too many places that meet the requirements.

If the undead want to move forward, they have to remove these bunkers one by one.

However, due to the terrain, the undead cannot give full play to their strength. There are always only so many troops that can go into battle at the same time. There is no way to form a crushing numerical advantage over the defenders in the bunker. .

The heavy infantry such as dwarf shield guards and white wolf guards rely on the bunkers to block the further advance of the undead. And behind them, long-range units such as crossbowmen and spear throwers let go of their firepower and dealt a powerful blow to the invading undead.

It is impossible to build too large a guardian bunker, and the terrain does not allow it. Generally speaking, the garrison soldiers that can be accommodated in a bunker are only one squad for the smaller ones, and no more than thirty or forty soldiers for the larger ones.

However, the dwarves and humans relied on such small bunkers to continuously 'bloodletting' the undead army.

Until ten days later, that is, at the end of July, the undead still did not pose a direct threat to Emhart. They haven't even seen the gate of Emhart yet.

Just as Dane expected before, the kingdom's defense line in the east is still very solid. This is inseparable from the preparations he had made for the possible outbreak of the Church of the Damned a few years ago, including the establishment of Emhar.

However, the situation in the Principality of Florence is not so good.

Blackwood City was already breached on the 19th.

Palan's Sixth Army lost a lot in the process of defending Blackwood City. After his remnant soldiers withdrew from Blackwood City, they carried out a reorganization, and two regiments were directly revoked.

At the moment, there are only more than 5,000 troops left in his hands. Counting the army of the Holy Alliance that he coerced to come together, this number will not exceed six thousand.

The Sixth Army was disabled.

But Palan's contribution is still indelible. At least, the Church of the Damned failed to occupy the entire Fir Territory as it wished. Among the 100,000 people in the fir tree collar, at least 85,000 people were evacuated and pulled to the hinterland of the Duchy of Florence.

At the same time, the resistance of Paran's Sixth Army also bought time for Pandorf's Fourth Army.

As soon as Pandolf received the order, he rushed from the wasteland pass to Florence in an emergency. After walking through the long desert, I came to the Marquis of the Bull, and then to the Grip of the Iron Horse.

At this time, Colonel Chandler should now be called Brigadier General Chandler. The 20,000 soldiers of the garrison led by Colonel Chandler have taken advantage of these few days to grasp the iron horse that was once under the breath of the dragon. The burned town, now a ruin, was rebuilt into a makeshift line of defense.

On the 24th ~IndoMTL.com~ The Sixth Army, which fought and retreated, returned to the grip of the iron horse. On the same day, Admiral Patience arrived at the Grip of the Iron Horse with his own bodyguard, sixty elite rangers.

With the appointment of His Majesty Dane, she took over the command of all Schindler's troops in the Iron Horse and became the commander-in-chief of the Western Front.

At the same time, she also brought an entire army of King's Guards. However, since this army set off from the hinterland of Schindler, it was impossible for Patience to run as fast as Patience just brought her general guard. They are still carrying the transport ship and floating in the sea. It is estimated that they will have to wait until August to reach the Grip of the Iron Horse.
