Power and Empire Chapter 1292: The Ambition of the Empire Star Cluster (3)

The eastern coast of Normandy, the blue waves are like shadows, and the white waves are beating against the messy black reefs on the shore, as if they have not changed for hundreds of millions of years. No matter how the four seasons of the continent change, the sea always makes mankind with an inclusive attitude. This creature feels very insignificant, and the morning sun is exceptionally beautiful. It falls on the tranquil sea of ​​Beruye Port, coating the sea with a faint golden light.

The soaring clock tower looks very quiet in the morning mist, and the continuous pier berths are almost invisible at a glance. The port of Beruille is the largest deep-water port on the eastern coast of Normandy. It has nine deep-water berths. The broken port still has broken weapons in some places, and there are still blood stains on the walkway floor that have not been completely cleaned.

At the dozen or so berths on the southernmost side, there are more than dozens of huge five-mast transport ships docked.

The towering mast is more than 20 meters long, and large groups of soldiers descended from the transport ship. The Salander army’s unique red armor was reflected in the morning sun with a faint face, mixed among the crowds of people. , And a large number of weapons and equipment were unloaded in bundles, including heavy Thor and some rarely seen heavy weapons, and warhorses with guns. He was also driven down from the deck of the ship, and he made waves of neighing on the dock.

On one of the largest transport ships, as the baffle fell, a beauty wearing a red armor and a blond shawl walked down from the transport ship, surrounded by General Salander. The close-fitting red armor outlines a vigorous and graceful beauty. The sun shines on her blond hair, shining with a red glow, like a ball of flame leaping.

His gaze swept across the lonely and small port in front of her eyes, and Nilai's heart was faintly moved. At the beginning, the vicious Norman invaders boarded the ship from here and launched a cruel war of plunder against the beautiful Salad. The earth drifted blood in just two years, and now, Salander's footsteps have finally landed on the land of the Normans. Is this a kind of causal reincarnation?

Nilai saw from below the harbor, an old Salander general with several young generals approaching. The veteran’s pale silver hair was erected like a pinpoint, and his forehead was placed on the forehead with a signature ring of hair iron. The hoop is inlaid with a huge ruby, giving a person an old and strong feeling. It was the striker who was in charge of occupying the port yesterday, the Duke of Ode, "Grand Duke of Ode!" Nilai saluted the old general who came by. "The old duke took the port of Beruye in one fell swoop, and opened the channel for the army to land. Nilai is here to thank the old duke on behalf of the whole army!" It was no difficulty to win the defenseless Beruye. On the contrary, this strategic plan makes me even more admire! "The old Duke of Russia and Germany responded with a smile." I am afraid that the Normans could not even dream of it. They are regarded as the most incompetent Salanders, and one day they will be regarded as the most incompetent Salanders. Conquer the object! But before that, I still have a promise to complete! ""Promise?" Nilai's face was stunned, "Yeah. A promise that I didn't even believe would be fulfilled!" The Duke of Germany’s eyes flashed with an inexplicable luster, and seemed to be full of painful meetings. Suddenly, under the eyes of everyone, he knelt down on one knee to Nilai with a pious face. "I Ode Gonzas, with this vast sea Swear, from now on, my Odd family is a vassal of Grand Duke Nilai! ""Old Duke, you are...

Nila’s face changed slightly, and she was a little confused to stand there. Although Nila was the nominal leader of the Northern Alliance of Sarand, Ode was one of the great dukes of the North for decades, regardless of fame or strength. All of them are on top of Nile. The nobles who followed Nile also changed their faces slightly. Swearing by the sea is the Salander tradition and the most serious oath. "Old Duke, why are you? Strictly speaking, Nile is your junior! This is really...!" After a while, Nile quickly stepped forward and gracefully lifted up and just finished the vow. Of Russia and Germany,

"No, my gratitude is sincere!" To Nile’s surprise, the old Duke Ode, who has always been sleek, had a very serious expression at this time. He raised his staunch face and said." When I heard the news that my two sons were killed in battle on the front line in Xiling Hills, I swear, if anyone can let me set foot in the land of these Norman demons and bring them to the pain of our Salanders, ten Go back a hundred times, my Ode family is willing to serve him as the master,

The painful voice on Ode’s face stopped and said, "But even if I took the oath, I think this oath is impossible to achieve, because even if we fight back the Normans with great pains, it will be difficult. Crossing this boundless sea, but Nilai, you gave me the opportunity to fulfill this oath, so that even if I die, I can close my eyes without regret. As for my staying in the Salander mainland, My son, I have given him the same instructions, and I believe he will support this decision! ""Old Duke..."

Nila's eyes flashed an imperceptible ruddy. The 64-year-old Duke of Ode, said this more like a last word. Obviously, Ode is embracing a mortal vengeance. This piece of enemy land, from the eyes of the soldiers passing by in front of them, you can see that there are not a few people who have the same thoughts as him. This is the burning blood of revenge, and this is the precursor of the **** wind.

This time the 14,000 Salander Northern Army set out from Vic Harbor. Except for the 5,000 under Nilai’s command, the rest are spontaneous coalition forces formed by the lords of the north. Most of these lords are based in Normandy. People have blood and deep feud. Although the main occupied area of ​​the Normans was in the south, in order to complete the strategic deployment of north-south and hitting the central area, Cavy Bod sent three of his seven generals to the northern territory of Salander.

In just two months, with the cruel cleaning tactics unique to the Normans, the cavalry of Goshawk Avitzer penetrated the entire northern part of Salander. The northern coalition forces lost their helmets and unarmed, and suffered heavy casualties. A grand duke like Nile’s father can hardly avoid the fate of death in battle. The fate of other little lords can be imagined. If it weren’t for the fat man’s pretending Marquis Victor’s sudden intervention, the Norman’s strategy of north-south attack, or Has succeeded

Walking into the meeting room of the port, some lords who arrived early are already waiting. The news of Russia and Germany on the port has obviously reached here. Some lords’ faces are whispering to each other weirdly, and some people’s faces Very frustrated and some very hesitant and confused,

The submission of the Russian-German family. It basically means the surrender of the largest local power in the northern part of Salander. Everyone knows that it is impossible for a veteran fellow like Ode to be a vassal. Ode and Germany actually succumbed to Nilai behind. Empire, now everyone needs to consider whether the northern part of Salander can still go down?

Seeing Nilai coming in, everyone hurriedly stopped their voices. There was a faint trace of fear in the silent air. Nilai glanced at it. Most of the lords have arrived, except for a few of the Envette faction. Personal,

"This bastard! More and more presumptuous!"

Nile’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her white fingers clasped together. Since the beginning of the union, Envette has been not very friendly. Although the Envite faction is closely related to the business alliance within the empire, Nile The Northern Alliance represented by it generally has little strength to oppress the business alliance, so Envette has always been doing his own way, and he doesn’t put Nilai in his eyes.

Nile once told the fat man about this situation. The fat man just smiled and said indifferently, "Although Envette is not very obedient, he is a representative of the commercial faction in the Northern Alliance. Keeping him can form a local With the constraints of the old-school forces, you can rely on your identity to achieve a balance between the two. It is not a good thing for you to excessively weaken Envette. In fact, he is just a small fish in a pool. Do you need to care about him? As the princess of the empire, if you really want to clean him up, it's just a matter of moving your fingers!"

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Nilai took the Normandy map from the guards behind her and spread it out on the long table in the conference room, saying, "Now we will begin to arrange combat missions. This time our target is the core area of ​​Normandy, Oman. Pull!"

Jaglins stood on the beach, with some anxious eyes as if he wanted to go directly across the sea. He ordered people to light three huge fires on the beach, marking them with black plumes of smoke towards the transport fleet on the sea.

The brilliance of the wheel in the sky is a little weak, but the fire-like light still dyes the sky and the sea red. Everyone is anxiously waiting for the arrival of the transport fleet. Time is passing by in a second." What's the accident, right?" Jaglens muttered to himself uncertainly, and the **** walked back and forth on the beach anxiously,

Every moment, every second, is vital to the solitary expeditionary force overseas. The main Normandy forces are constantly gathering at Yinque Mountain Pass. When leaving the front line of Yinque Hill, the number of Normandy troops has once again reached 30,000 people, and some new flags of local lords joined in,

In this situation, from the already tense front line, another third of the troops are allocated to take charge of the rear transportation. The plan is bold, and even the courageous fellow like Jaglins feels a little depressed in his heart. And hesitating,

Both of them are first-line commanders with extremely rich combat experience. They all know that Riposti’s suspicion tactics may temporarily hold the Normans for a period of time, but as long as they exceed a certain time limit, the opponent will Will see the exception,

No one can ambush tens of thousands of troops on the low bush mountain road for two days without a trace. Once the Normans find that there are only 10,000 in front of them, or where they are exposed in advance On horse foot, Riposti’s 10,000 expeditionary army staying in Silverbird Hill must face the fierce attack of the 30,000 Norman army. Military conditions are like a rope roasted on flames. Time is becoming the first thing in the eyes of the entire expeditionary army. The invisible line of life and death, no one knows when, it will break

"Do you want me to pray to the so-called Poseidon like that idiot Reposti!"

Jaglins, who never believed in any gods, looked at the sky with a pious face, and muttered, "There are no clouds in the sky, the blue sky and the blue sea, it doesn't look like the weather that can bring misfortune!"" Your lord. Look at the surface of the sea! "There was a cheerful shout from a guard nearby, and Jaglins quickly turned his head. As expected, a row of tiny black spots appeared on the sea level in the direction of the guard's finger." He ordered the troops to gather and transport the fleet. Here comes!" Jaglins exclaimed excitedly. The soldiers in the east and west clusters on the beach also became chaotic. 5,000 expeditionary soldiers stood in their respective squadrons, and dozens of simple metal Pulley landing gear, lined up on the beach,

The fleet in the distance is facing the wind and waves, and a neatly rolling white line swings on the bow of the ship, rushing towards the smoky beach

"It seems that some of the numbers are wrong!" Soon, Jaglins felt like he had been splashed with cold water. As the black spots gradually became clear, he realized that the number of transport ships coming this time was only a small amount. To ten ships, and judging from the sharp bows that broke through the waves in front, they are not the heavy tonnage transport ships seen before, but ten dragon-tooth warships

"What the **** is the situation!"

Jaglins punched the sturdy cliff next to him in anger. What are you kidding about, what did the Admiralty send these dragon-tooth ships for? Riding a sail from the land, crushing it all the way? Bullshit!

"Happiness!"

Just when he was angry, the ten Dragon Tooth warships near the docking point on the beach began to slow down, the sails quickly turned into half sails, and finally all descended, stopping in the shallow water in front of the beach with waves on the bow. He heavily inserted into the beach in front of him, and soon a middle-aged captain came down from the upper deck

"Who is in charge here?" The middle-aged captain who came down looked around and asked loudly.

"I, Jaglins! Deputy Commander of the Expeditionary Army" Jaglins walked forward and offered a friendly hand to the middle-aged captain. He saw four silver stars on the captain's shoulders. , Representing this person is the commander of a certain naval squadron. Although he is not as good as himself, he can also be regarded as a senior navy officer

"Hello, my lord!" The middle-aged captain quickly stood at attention, paid a military salute to Jaglins, and said, "Imperial Navy Third Squadron Commander Effinger reports to you"

"Report?" Jaglins froze for a moment, and his eyebrows were completely twisted together,

"This is a letter of order from His Majesty Falcon, please read it! Starting today, the Third Squadron will be responsible for the logistics supply of the expeditionary force." Sieffinger looked at Jaglins with a confused face. Hurriedly took out a letter of order signed by the Ministry of Military Affairs from his pocket and handed it to Jaglins

Jaglins hurriedly took the order, his gaze swept across his face dumb, and after a while he still asked in disbelief, "Is this true? Our reinforcements had already landed in the port of Beruya a day ago. ""There is no questioning, because our third fleet is responsible for the landing!" Sieffinger smiled and said, "The main goal of this reinforcement is to reach the landing point but 30 miles away, Normandy. Omanra, where the largest granary is located, as long as the supply line of Amanra is cut off, the Normandy army will have to turn into a defensive state. I believe that at this moment, the main Norman army has begun to withdraw in a panic! ""Then our task. What? "Jaglins breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. If the situation is true, the dilemma of Silver Sparrow Hill is equal to self-solving without a fight." Build a simple port that is enough to dock the fleet!"

Sieffinger looked at the nearby beach, curled his mouth slightly, and said, "The main force of the empire will land here in 5 days. Do you want His Majesty Falcon to see such a desolate scene? Even the expeditionary army. With outstanding military exploits, I am afraid that one general who will fall is the lazy ghost's comment! "Sieffinger's words made Yaglinston's eyes light up, and he didn't care about the comment, but asked directly curiously.

"You mean, your Majesty will also come to Normandy with the army!"

"The first expedition of the empire's army, how could your majesty miss it!" Sieffinger's eyes flickered, looking towards the distant sky, and said with emotion, "The entire battle of the Norman conquest, then was the real Let’s start! You and I~IndoMTL.com~ are just the flags of the front war!"

"Well, anyway, I'm here to get the food! Since you are in charge of the logistics, I want to know where my food is now?" Jaglins shrugged and asked puzzledly." After all, there is still so much time, you can't let the soldiers drink the northwest wind!"

"Don't worry, there will be food..." Sieffinger said with a silence on his face before saying "The Admiralty has tried its best to adjust food from Antoros, but because of the increase in transportation and reinforcement this time, the Navy There is a serious shortage of transport ships, and the food needs to be postponed for one day to arrive! So I thought of a temporary solution, which should be able to solve part of it! ""What solution?" Jaglins asked with an ugly face, "Get the net!" Sieffinger turned around, and God calmly raised his hand to the ten dragon-tooth battleships behind him. The sailors on the battleship pulled the rope hanging from the stern, and a fierce splash of water resounded across the beach. The rope hanging behind the Dragon Tooth battleship was pulled up, and the large net hundreds of meters behind the rope was also exposed from the shallow water. The reflection of the fish scales was like a huge river leaping happily. At least tons of marine fish in the big net are twisting. "Hurrah, many fish!" The expeditionary soldiers on the beach shouted joyfully, "If you work hard for a day, it should be able to temporarily solve the expeditionary army's food problem!" Sieffinger turned around again and smiled at the stunned Jaglins. "I think this is the reason why your Majesty ordered the squadron to serve as logistics, because your Majesty knows that the Navy has a naval solution!"
