The war was raging, the smoke was rising, and the Gripen Empire was advancing troops from many directions. As a result, more than half of the more than 70 garrison towns set up by the Demon Moon Empire in the northwest border area were demolished. These small towns were originally stuck in various dangerous terrains.
After the Kumai border was lost, the complex terrain could be used to block the enemy. Unexpectedly, the Gripen Empire's attack this time was extremely bold and risky, using rapid marches and roundabouts to remove the castles one by one. The advance speed was so fast that it even exceeded the retreat of our own soldiers.
The speed. Coupled with the appearance and intimidation of the Sky Giant, the enemy's attack was without pressure.
In order to reduce losses, Marshal Dean Helen, who was in charge of the troops in the Western Territory, had no choice but to order his officers to abandon all the small fortresses built along the way and concentrate all the troops on the Black Cloud Iron Fortress. Although this Black Cloud Iron Fortress is not as good as the Saint
The Bell Mountain City built by Bikea is as heavily defended as an iron barrel, but it is still a well-fortified fortress city and an important pass for Anmosid to resist threats from the west.
Dean Helen arrived here, intending to meet with the Northern King Dutch, the Frost Knights, Hanard and others who came from the West Capital to discuss the battle. He did not want the Gripen Empire army to advance too quickly. He arrived at Black
On the day of Yun Tiesei, air cavalry sentries from the Gripen Army came here to conduct reconnaissance. The enemy's air cavalry regiments appeared in large numbers the next day, and then in the afternoon it became a large army besieging the city.
On the city wall in the evening, Dean Helen looked at the Griffith Army encamped in the distance, waiting for battle, and sadness came to his brows. He had experienced this situation twice, and each time the Griffith Army chose to besiege the city rather than attack it.
It's time to use the 'Cloud Sky Giant'.
The wise general, Dean Page, did not want to defend passively, so he sent the young Poona brothers to lead a group of 80 senior elite cavalry to attack the camp in the middle of the night. The enemy was prepared for it, the attack on the camp was discovered, and the plan failed. The Poona brothers
Leading the crowd to evacuate, a cavalry group of the enemy's Blue Arrow followed closely behind to pursue them, but this was within Dean Page's expectation. He personally led an assault group to ambush the enemy on the way to pursue them.
They were lurking in disguise on both sides of a long narrow bridge, hoping to cut off the enemy's retreat before they could catch up with them, and kill them with the Puna brothers in one fell swoop.
The person who led the pursuit of the 'Blue Arrow' cavalry was also a young female general who was well-known in the Imperial Gripen Army. She was nicknamed 'August Imperial Eagle', and her last name was a rose. Just like her nickname, she was Eagle.
The Lion King's eyes showed that despite her young age, she was very experienced. He stopped the pursuit not far from the narrow bridge.
The Puna brothers who were running in front turned around and saw that the other party was not chasing them. The two teams of men and horses on both sides looked at each other across the long bridge under the moonlight. There were eagles and birds in the sky looking at each other, and there were beasts waiting on the ground. Although Mei was not domesticated from his side.
Warcraft received some feedback, but she did not rule out that the opponent was well hidden. She judged that there must be a trap on the long bridge and there must be an ambush around it, so she immediately led the air cavalry to turn around and leave.
Seeing that the opponent was not fooled, Dean Page led his men out from both sides of the long bridge and chased the enemy soldiers behind them. He fired a burst of arrows and magic, but he was still a step too late. The bows, arrows and magic did not leave the enemy behind, so he could only lead his team.
Returned angrily.
In fact, this simple night camp attack, whether successful or not, will not affect the current situation. Dean Page just wants to regain some morale and cause some trouble to the enemy. But the enemy is very alert, even this
He wasn't given a chance either.
Returning to the situation room of the Black Cloud Iron Fortress with Marshal Helen, Iron Fortress's defense officer Donald brought new information. At the same time, he was accompanied by the leader of the Frost Knights and the King of the North, Dutch.
Dutch held a black horn helmet in his arms and was dressed in silver and black thick iron armor, which was really majestic. Helen and the King of the North were not familiar with each other. After getting to know each other, they gathered information about the strength of the intelligence personnel and other information, and worked on the battle all night.
The Situation Room discusses tomorrow's war strategy.
The King of the North, Dutch, is a very special prince and prince of the Demon Moon Empire, and the Frost Knights are the personal guard of the King of the North. They are the only imperial knights among the eight imperial knights that are not under the control of the royal family.
group.
In the Demon Moon, Dutch's personal strength has always been a mystery. Everyone only knows that he is brave, but it is not clear how strong he is. His ancestors were the great nobles of the Jilba Kingdom in the northern and northeastern areas of the Demon Moon, and the Demon Moon Empire is famous
During the period of King Haiqin VI, the Demon Moon Empire experienced its third large-scale external expansion in history. During this period, Haiqin VI annexed a large amount of land in the Jilba Kingdom, captured and killed the Jilba Kingdom at that time.
The ancestors of King Daqi used the remaining land as their territory and vowed to regain their homeland and rebuild the kingdom. Since then, the two countries have fought many wars and have been enemies for generations. In the later years of Otillet XVI, civil strife broke out in Demon Moon, and for a short time
In just five years, six kings were killed. Grandfather Dutch took the opportunity to regain the lost land in one fell swoop and plundered a large amount of land in the four northern provinces of Demon Moon to revive the country. After Emperor Owen succeeded to the throne, stability was restored in Demon Moon, and the two countries once again reunited.
A major war broke out. In the later years of Emperor Owen the Great, the Count of Sith in the Coast Province died without any children. According to the order of succession, Dachi, the nephew of the Earl of Sith and the son of King Tilba, was selected to succeed the count.
The young Dutch fell in love at first sight with the 13-year-old daughter of the Grand Duke of Golden Flower at the earl ceremony. Two months later, he married the daughter of the Grand Duke of Golden Flower and has been living in the Coast Province. Fourteen years later, Dutch
His father died of illness. As the first heir, he came back and inherited the throne of King of Tilba. However, at the same time, he did not want to leave the prosperous Coast Province where he had lived for 14 years and returned here as the king of Tilba.
.
Two years later, Otillet XVII conferred the title of King Dachi. Dachi annexed all the land of Jilba to the Demon Moon, and personally led troops to annihilate the rebels in Jilba who were unwilling to merge. For this reason, the Seventeenth King
He awarded a large number of territories and treasures, and gave him the Frost Knights, one of the eight imperial knights that had traditionally been controlled by the royal family, as his personal guard. From then on, Dutch was called the King of the North.
Several people discussed the battle plan in the war situation room, but Christine Harnard and her troops, who should have arrived here long ago, have not arrived yet, which makes Helen very upset. And the latest intelligence coming from the imperial capital
Tell him that according to the judgment of Bartholomew, a participant in the Jianyue Tianxia incident, the Yuntian Giant they faced was probably an artificially modified ultimate weapon similar to Tianxia. The war capability of this thing, according to ancient times,
If judged by Warcraft, I am afraid it will not be lower than the level of destructive power of the eleventh level Warcraft. The specific strength of the power still needs to be communicated with the Imperial City and the Holy Garden to understand, and it will also allow them to collect more combat information on the ultimate weapon.
The destructive power of a monster whose strength would not be lower than the eleventh level. Upon hearing this news, everyone present looked ashen, and Daqi's face was not good-looking either.
As the garrison officer of the Iron Barrier, Donald, a tall man with blond hair and a golden beard, said with a livid face: "Even the Black Cloud Iron Barrier cannot defend against such a terrifying power."
…
(Actually, the kings of ancient Europe are very different from the kings of ancient China. I won’t worry about that here. Just read the story.)
