Power and Empire Chapter 2954: Wind up in Biya (2)

In May, in the early summer after the earth’s recovery, with the Cornelia-class battle that caused the entire Europa to fall all over the floor, everyone believed that the three powers would enter a period of calm, especially There are some rumors about Eero that make the monarchs of many countries feel incredible,

After the emperor Eero withdrew from the Cornelia battlefield, he barely showed up, claiming to the outside world that he had contracted a disease on the battlefield. The Eero soldiers who withdrew from the front line also showed manic emotions, just half of the time. In a month, more than 1,700 Eero soldiers and officers have been detained by the Military Law Department due to violent incidents. In fact, this is normal. More than one hundred thousand troops are stationed in one place. The chaos can be imagined.

Although it is on the border, the place where it stops is still a densely urbanized area. So many hot-blooded men who have just withdrawn from the battlefield of life and death naturally urge countless business opportunities to make money. At night, the city is full The tavern was overcrowded, and the law enforcement team in charge of public security could catch a large group of drunk people every night, including some high-ranking generals. The law enforcement team was also beaten badly. Finally, even the Ero military headquarters in charge of the law enforcement team. The Earl of Claydir had to submit his resignation to Emperor Erot on the grounds that he was ill and unable to maintain the normal operation of his work.

Compared with the trouble of retreating the army, what made the entire Eero royal family scorched was the war debts for the war. The Cornelia War did not win as expected, but only occupied a part of the south. It is far lower than the previous expectations of the Eero nobles, so that the royal bonds that the nobles have high hopes cannot be repaid at all. This is why the Eero royal family did not allow the army to return to the original place immediately. It is too unstable. After fighting hard for more than half a year, he returned to the pre-liberation embarrassment overnight. The resentment of the royal family in the entire city of the Eero nobles soared to a very dangerous level. If the front-line army retreats, with the help of the people, it is not the same. The fluctuations in the field can be described, and it may even cause a mutiny in the entire army. After all, the party who bought the largest number of war bonds this time is the generals of the Erot Army.

The golden setting sun projected from the gap in the distance of the ridge, and dragged a long shadow on the old wall of the magic tooth fortress. Behind the huge raised wall of the magic tooth fortress, a flax-headed man The young Eero pushed open the door of the office and walked upright in front of the Shangguan who was playing with a pair of ruby ​​earrings in his hand. It is possible to attack, and the military said that there is no military power to send to us!"

"There is no military power to send? Isn't Cornelia's war over?" Putting down the ruby ​​earrings in his hand, the Duke of Erot's Army Kebir closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and spit out the angry heat

"The military department replied that the retreating army needs to be reorganized, and it will take a month at the earliest, so they are temporarily unable to dispatch, order us to solve it by ourselves!" The young adjutant looked embarrassed and placed the reply report on it. On Shangguan’s desk

"Those **** of the military" Duke Kebir weighed heavily on the reply report, suddenly stood up from his seat and came to the glass window in front of the fortress. From here, he could see Bion, who was guarded by the fortress. The trend of the Leah Mountain Range winding away like a giant dragon is also an excellent location for the first ray of sunrise from the east sky. Those **** hiding in the capital and looking at the map can't see our front gathering. The Templar Army, although the sect nation has always been in a suppressed position, but rabbits with red eyes dare to bite people

"My lord, my subordinates also think that the assembly of the Templars in front of the fortress may not have the intention of offensive." The young adjutant looked at Shangguan's generous back and hesitated and said, "Deviltooth fortress is very old. , But as a large fortress built by the whole stone, there is no possibility of loosening even in the past few hundred years. Moreover, our garrison has 30,000 troops. According to normal logic, we want to capture the solid defense of 30,000. The fortress requires at least twice the strength of the troops, and it also needs enough large-scale siege equipment, but the total number of Templars in front of us is more than 40,000 people, and the siege equipment is even more lacking. If the opponent really wants Thinking that with such strength, we can seize the magic tooth fortress, then we don’t mind giving it a heavy blow!"

"What do you know! Although it is said that the general attacker needs more than twice the force, but nothing is absolutely true. I don't know why. I have been eyelids twitching for the past two days. This is not a good omen!" The Duke turned around from the window, with a half-white head and an acute-angled face with no blood color. The light from his eyes has an inorganic texture, and his expression is extremely cold, because he has encountered such a situation for a long time and is stationed in the fortress. The frontier defense army of Eero was in a mess, and the walkways were full of soldiers moving around. The heavy and neat footsteps made the dreadful tension spread, and the strong seemed to make everyone feel suffocated

Eighty years ago, the Magic Tooth Fortress was the most important support point for the Erot Empire’s expansion strategy to the east. From the gap between the fortress’s bronze door and the fortress gate, a group of Erot’s troops used to make the opposite The blood of the Templars flowed into a river, so that even eighty years later, hanging on the stone wall of the top of the fortress gate, you can still see the spiked hanging cage hanging high above it floating back and forth in the mountain breeze, eroded by the years. Among the rusty iron bars, there are one or several gray and white dead bones that are twisted to death. Each of the owners of these dead bones is a famous figure in the sect nation at that time. Among them, the one living in the middle of the hanging cage has four limbs. The wreckage that has been chopped off is the biggest gain to the ecclesiastical state in the past. The eleventh pope of the ecclesiastical state, even if the Erot Empire has not used force against the ecclesiastical state for decades, this fortress is still Eero is the most important gate on the border, with 30,000 troops stationed all year round, and Duke Kebir is the commander of this magic tooth fortress

Since the secret reconciliation between the two parties that year, the function of the Magic Tooth Fortress to suppress the sect nation has been weakened a lot, but it does not mean that Eero has relaxed the defense of the Magic Tooth Fortress. On the contrary, it can be transferred to the Magic Tooth. Serving as a garrison commander in the fortress is a very embarrassing task in the Eero military sector

Although the Magic Tooth Fortress is only a fortress, it is a large fortress with 30,000 troops, and the Magic Tooth Fortress also has the right to mobilize 5,000-man defense regiments in two places within fifty miles. If all the forces add up, In terms of strength, it is almost equal to the number of the main battle regiment of Erot. The commander of the magic tooth fortress is at the rank of legion commander. This is also regarded as one of the best fortress commanders in the Erot army. Every annual meeting is held. In the regular meeting, the seats are all in the top ten. I don’t know the purple that makes the major general jealous. Unlike the border guards in other regions, they may fall into a life-and-death battle at any time. The cult state facing the Magic Tooth Fortress has not had a war for 80 years. However, Eero does not think that the ecclesiastical state will break this humility that has been maintained for eighty years. You don't need to be afraid of taking the risk of war, but you can also sit firmly in the ranks of the important ministers in the army. As a border guard, you enjoy the same privileges as the front-line combat corps. The entire Erot Empire is also the magic tooth fortress!

"Although I don't know what the Templar plans are, but I have a hunch that this time I want to attack, pass the order, and be prepared for battle!"

The Duke of Bickel waved his hand vigorously. He is considered a very good soldier, with amazing awareness of danger, otherwise he would not have been appointed so highly to the Eastern Front by Emperor Eero. The commander of the important magic tooth fortress, the abnormal assembly of the Templars made him smell an unusual smell. Although the above Templars also have small-scale activities within the sight of the fortress, they have never been so blatantly. Starting the offensive, thinking of the current fluctuations in Eero's country due to the defeat of the Cornelia War, it is not ruled out that the sect nation that has forgotten for many years wants to fight!

"My lord, the Templars are in line!" Less than ten minutes after the adjutant left, he stumbled in and looked like hell. For the young adjutant, how much peace has been for eighty years Stable things, how can they be broken in a blink of an eye! Is it lucky or unlucky? How many people have worked here for eighty years? Why did you run into it?

"What a panic! The Duke of Bickel grunted heavily on his nose, picked up the cloak hanging on the shelf, and walked up to the fortress head in a hurry. The so-called eighty years of peace, look at him. Come, it's fragile in itself and not stronger than a thread! It's just the sight in front of him that makes his eyebrows frown

The two-leaf army flag of the silver-white wish tree of the dozens of huge ecclesiastical temples is flying below the fortress, and thousands of sectarian soldiers wearing the armors of the Templar silver and white cross coat of arms are scattered in an orderly manner. The long spears are like a forest, and the infantry shields are densely lined up along the terrain. The most protruding one is the array of three archers. In front of every ten archers, there is a small burning tube, and there are a line of one. The armored infantry who came out of the nearby woodland like a wave, this time I was the place where Duke Bickel felt pressure.

I originally thought that the number of Templars assembled in front was no more than thirty or forty thousand people, at most equal to oneself, but now this troop emerging from the nearby woods has increased the strength of the Templars under the city to seven. The scale of 80,000 people, and it seems that follow-up troops continue to join, giving people a kind of icy solemnity

"Pay attention, and see what they want to do!" Duke Bickel scanned it carefully, and found that the opponent had very few siege equipment. This was completely out of line with normal conditions, and the assembly of the Temple Army was not uniform. Two days, and the woods in the nearby woodland were plentiful enough to make siege equipment, but the weird situation in front of him made Duke Bickel a little confused. Without siege equipment, are these fanatical Templars ready to climb with their hands? It's too ridiculous to fail to come up! ,How can it be! Is there a problem with the direction of the gate? ’

Duke Bickel thought of the only possibility, his face changed, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Here, he immediately deployed two squadrons to the gate to increase the defense of the fortress gate."

"My lord, take a look." At this moment, the adjutant shouted in exclamation. Duke Bickel followed the direction pointed by the adjutant and took a breath of air-conditioning. It was a big catapult. , I saw that the Opposite Templar Army was like a colony of ants, clustered with several huge slings like towers. The huge slings were ten meters high, but the size of the sling baskets seemed a little small and long. The length of his throwing arm is even more amazing. It’s hard to imagine how far this sling can be. Duke Bickel can hear the inhalation of nearby soldiers. At critical moments, these huge and excessive slings made him feel better. I felt something was wrong, but before he could see it clearly, the huge sling in the distance had stopped at a range of 500 meters away, and the tall and long arm began to be pressed down.

"What the people of Aden want to do, even if the stone can be thrown far away, can they break the fortress wall?" The corner of Bickel's mouth was slightly disdainful. An attack, could it be that these slings that look good, but are actually not useful at all. . . . . . . It's really uncreative combat, isn't there a little new idea!

"Everyone pay attention to hide~IndoMTL.com~ Don’t mess up, just keep it steady. If the other party climbs up with both hands, we will send them down with a spear!" Bickel’s mouth laughed and the soldiers around came out. There was an uproar, and everyone could see that the people of Aden were bluffing, and a few slings wanted to take down the fortress. Really, they were all trapeze with wings behind them. Can they fly onto the fortress wall? When the Erot Army showed contempt for the Aden Army below, in the position of the huge sling, the Aden Army soldiers put a bundle of red crystals in, and then poured a basin of water on it.

"Ready!" The Aden soldier who finished all this raised his hand

"Archers prepare!" The three Aden archers in front of the line began to raise their bows toward the city wall neatly, and a soldier holding a torch ran over from the front of the line and lit the tarp in front of the arrow clusters. , One by one the rockets emitted light blue flames and jumped, the huge catapult began to slam down violently, turning out a huge circle, and countless red points of light were thrown into the sky like meteors.

"What is it?" The soldiers of the Eero Army raised their heads one by one, looking at the red crystals that were thrown into the air. Just as everyone was stunned, the Aden archer below had already loosened the bowstring, and countless rockets went straight. Jumped onto the wall, plunged into the stone fiercely, the ground was lit, and the red crystals also fell towards the ground at this moment, like a goddess scattered flowers, at the moment of landing, a huge fire burst suddenly, bringing With howling and long black smoke, it slammed violently on the crowded passage of the fortress. The fire was splashed, and everyone’s ears roared with a loud explosion. The powerful force even overturned the top of the stone passage. , A ring-shaped impact circle visible to the naked eye, the dozen or so Erot soldiers who were caught off guard suddenly turned into flames, and the screams resounded through the city.
