Lord of War

v4 Chapter 14 - .Eroded empire situation

  The millennium covenant empire may have really responded to the saying that misfortunes do not come singly, and the troubles encountered one after another, one after another.

  With the strong enthronement of the tyrant Budris Dern, the interior of the empire is no longer an iron plate. After all, the emperor’s ascension actually damaged the interests of a large part of the nobility. Only due to the strength and coercion of the pure white emperor, those old noble forces only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Of course, some small movements behind their backs naturally did not stop, and it was precisely because of this that they strengthened the new emperor. Determined to eradicate the empire’s cancer and make the Millennium Covenant Empire a true dictatorship.

  There is naturally no simple role to be able to ascend the throne of God.

  Originally, according to Budris’s plan, at most it only caused some twists and turns. After all, the reputation of the Star Tower is not just a joke. But what he didn’t expect was that this was supposed to be a sort of unrest cleanup, but it was accompanied by the sudden collapse of the Star Tower, which caused the situation to become corrupted. Had it not been for the two dukes of East Deen and North Deen, Budris would have been very upset, but this still made him feel very annoyed, and even had to let Phughes Zoranton take charge of reorganizing the South. Situation.

Originally, Budris thought that everything should come to an end. He just added a Duke of Nanden in the empire, but considering the qualifications and experience of the veteran Puhuus, he was not dissatisfied. .

  But at this time, the undead disaster happened to erupt, and this was not a normal undead disaster, but the door to the eccentric plane of the bone plane was opened.

   Budris’ anger can be imagined.

   What made him feel more angry and helpless is that the undead army that ran out of the plane of the bones is no longer as easy to deal with as the brainless idiots when the death wave broke out. As a result, in less than half a month, the entire empire’s South Convenience lost nearly one-seventh of its territory, with more than 800,000 casualties, and all connections with the wild fortress and its surrounding territories were also interrupted. .

  At present, the Imperial Military Department is making a mess.

  But from the noisy noise, Budris probably heard clearly that it was divided into three groups.

  The first faction. Occupying the largest number of people, the advocated opinion is to abandon the internal strife of the empire and let those rebellious parties return to the imperial banner of the Millennium Covenant. Their reason is also very simple, that is, the current situation is no longer suitable for continuing infighting, because this time the undead army is too fast. Far beyond their expectations. There were more than 800,000 casualties in less than half a month.

   And it is obvious that Puhuose Zoranton, who had been promoted to the Duke of Nanden a few days ago, was also caught off guard in this death wave.

  At that time, he was encircling an important rebel stronghold in the south of the empire. The battle between the two sides has basically come to an end. For the Duke of Nanden, the fruits of victory are already at hand. But I didn’t expect that at this time, an army of undead cavalry suddenly broke out, and the result not only caused the fruit to fly. Even the army under the Duke of Nandern was hit hard. Even the battlefield that was once the melee of the three armies has now become an absolute dead place-the rebels and Purhus both withdrew thirty miles overnight.

  Now, that part of the rebels has naturally survived because of this, and they have not been truly annihilated, but their situation is not very good, basically it can be said that they are trapped in a circle of encirclement. But no matter what the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire thinks, the three provinces of the empire in the south along with this rebel army are trapped in a circle of encirclement. This is a population of millions of people—the last battle between Puhuus and the rebels. The battlefield is nowhere else, it just happens to be the only transportation hub between the three provinces in the south of the empire and other provinces in the south of the empire.

same. This pivot point is also one of the key travel points leading to the wild fortress.

  In this way, they agreed with the people of the second faction on a certain point of view: rescue the wild fortress.

  The people of the first faction advocate abandoning infighting. They believe that the current situation requires the whole empire to unite, and that the rebellion of the rebels can be exempted from the death penalty, but they must also redeem their merits. After retaking the three southern provinces of the empire and the outside transportation hub, they immediately organized it. A vanguard army set out to the wild fortress.

The people of the second faction and the third faction agreed on some points of view: they believe that the rebels are a group of dissidents, especially when the empire is facing a major crisis, such a group of unpredictable people must not be left behind. Let alone accept their submission.

  It’s just that the people of the third faction think that since even the transportation hubs of the three southern provinces have been captured, it is obvious that the barren fortress must have been taken down. Only when the wild fortress is lost can the undead cavalry army join the battlefield between Puhuus and the rebels, causing heavy damage to both sides.

   Therefore, their proposal is to immediately abandon the rescue of the wild fortresses north, and let the Duke of Nandern immediately build a new line of defense in the south of the empire. Regarding the construction plan of the defensive line, they believe that abandoning the three southern provinces is the best choice. Anyway, when there is only one import and export restriction, it is only a matter of time before the death of the three southern provinces, including the rebels hiding in it, is a matter of time. Maybe at this meeting of their meeting, the people in the three southern provinces have already died.

The second faction, although it also believed that it could not re-accept the rebels, but believed that rescuing the three southern provinces and the wild fortresses was a very important strategic plan—mainly because the three southern provinces were food bases in the southern part of the empire, including the wild fortresses. A large part of the southern territory depends on the provision of food from the three southern provinces. If the three southern provinces are lost, then the entire south will soon fall into a state of food shortage. If it is transported from other parts of the empire, this supply line will be extended, and the consumption of the empire’s military resources can be imagined.

  Except that the third faction has the least supporters, the speech supporters of the first and second factions are almost the same.

  The main reason for this situation is that the speaker of the first faction is the newly promoted Duke of Nandern, Puhuus Zoranton.

  After the veteran suffered heavy damage from the Undead Cavalry Corps and the excessive erosion of the situation in the south, his current situation can be described as a bit bad. And most importantly, the undead army is still raging everywhere south of the south, cutting many provinces into enclaves. Can only barely stay alone, there is a mode of raising animals in captivity. Therefore, out of the idea of ​​uniting all available forces, this famous veteran naturally hopes to allow the rebels to join his camp. Only in this way can he immediately form a counterattack situation and prevent the situation from getting worse. .

  But it’s a pity. Support the opinions of the second faction. However, regardless of fame, strength, status, etc., they are not weaker than the veteran Duke of East Deen and the fourth-ranked commander-in-chief of Popocus Hantinier.

  Originally, he should immediately take over the command of Phughes and inflict a heavy blow on the rebels, so as to completely resolve the situation of the rebels. However, he didn’t expect that before he arrived on the battlefield, the eastern part of the empire was attacked by a wave of monsters, and there were also extremely tragic casualties. Even the passages between the eastern, central, and southern parts of the empire were cut off by the undead army. For this reason, he had to rush to the east to take command. Finally, before the situation was completely deteriorated, the tide of monsters was restrained, and the road to the rear was reopened.

  Just in this way, he even more hoped that the Duke of Nandern could push the battle line forward, thus forming a horn with him and reducing considerable pressure. In this way, the advancement of the front line is also inevitable, so the recovery of the wild fortress is a very important key point, and because the empire is about to open two fronts. There may even be third-line and fourth-line operations, so the three southern provinces as food bases must be recovered as soon as possible.

  To some extent. Among the three most outstanding generals of the Millennium Covenant Empire, two have the same thinking and ideas at the strategic level.

It’s just that Popocas, Duke of East Deen, didn’t trust the rebels—this time if it weren’t for a small group of rebels in the eastern part of the empire, the undead army that erupted in the death wave would not be able to intercept the eastern and southern parts of the empire. Between the roads. And if it were not for this reason, the loss of the Duke of East Deen would have been reduced by at least half, so based on this consideration, Popocas’ aversion to the rebels can be imagined.

  Budris rubbed his temples with a headache, and then suddenly said, “Is there any news about Angel?”

  His voice is not loud, but it can reverberate well in the whole chamber, resounding in everyone’s ears.

  The original noisy voice suddenly fell silent.

A short while later, a man with a small beard got up and said: “According to the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness Angel, he should have gone to the wild land. And a month before the death wave erupted, the wild fortress paid back, Han The main force of the Frost Legion entered the wild land through the fortress, and launched a defensive position, seeming to be intercepting something…. According to the information collected by our intelligence department, only the rebels were likely to pass the wild fortress during that time period. One of the secret logistics forces of China.”

   “Find her!” Budris said in a deep voice.

  Suddenly, everyone in the whole chamber knew Budris’s plan.

  The third group of people was silent for a while, and immediately turned to support the opinion of Popocas, the commander of the Millennium Covenant Empire, so the pressure on Puhughes naturally increased.

  The recapture of the three southern provinces is the top priority, so counterattack against the transportation hub is the first thing the Duke of Nanden has to do.

  At this point, there is nothing worth discussing and arguing about.

  The only difference is how to deal with the rebel army currently hiding in the three southern provinces.

   “Duke Puhuus, can you guarantee that you can persuade the rebel’s surrender?” Budris spoke again, his voice was very low, but there was an indisputable majesty.

“I can’t guarantee, but I am willing to do my best.” Puhuus thought for a moment, and then said, “The current situation in the South is too erosive. There is absolutely no time for reinforcements. At least I can’t organize a counterattack of a sufficient scale in a short time….According to my experience over the years, if I cannot have a counterattack of a sufficient scale, then it is equivalent to growing the tide of death. That’s it.”

   “What if the rebels don’t know what is good or bad?”

  ”Then I will never show mercy.” Duke Purhus Zoranton said in a deep voice, “I know the unity of decision-making in war, so I will never make a mistake in this regard.”

   “Then do it as you want.” Budris waved his hand, “But if you fail, you have to pay the price of accepting punishment.”

   “Yes, Your Majesty!” Puhuus immediately got up and saluted.

  The people in the chamber saw that this controversial discussion finally ended, so they immediately started the next topic. However, the following topics have nothing to do with the Duke of Nandern. They basically involve matters in the east and north of the empire, including dealing with neighboring countries, and receiving reinforcements from all sides.

  At this moment, the spirit of the Duke of Nandern was somewhat relaxed.

  No one knew, Puhugh’s hand under the table couldn’t help clenching a little bit.

  He will fight against the crowd, and always insist on organizing a large-scale counterattack immediately in a short period of time. He is not only worried about the erosion of the situation in the south. In the same way, he was also worried about the future of the Zoanton family: Not to mention that the current Nandeenling fell into the hands of the Undead Legion, and even the future heir of the Zoanton family is now unknown.

  Hassas’s great success has been known by Puhughes, so his heir order is naturally mentioned first. As for his two most powerful competitors before, they naturally fell into the second and third sequences. Originally, if the whereabouts of Hasas is currently unknown, then the heirs with the second and third picks are also in line with Puhugh’s vision, and it is not impossible to promote them, anyway, it is for the Zoanton family.

   But on the contrary, these three heirs all went to the wild land because of sniping on the secret reinforcements of the rebels. As a result, the death wave broke out so suddenly and blocked the road. As a result, the whereabouts of the three heirs were also unknown at the same time. At present, apart from these three heirs, the Zoanton family is not to mention other generations of heirs. Even Phughes’s sons and daughters are not able to handle the work, so this has prompted him to work in the short term. Regain lost ground within time.

  At least, the road between the family territory of Zoanton and the wild fortress should be opened up.

  Because Puhughes knows very well that he, who is already eighty-five years old, may really be alive within a few years. Whether he can see the end of this wave of death is still unknown. Therefore, at this time, he would never allow the Zoanton family to fall into the situation of a group of dragons without a leader. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to challenge Popocas.
