Mysterious as the wind, always with me.

Chapter 152 Dividing the Enemy
The white and flawless streamlined hull looks like a work of art.

Who could have imagined that this was a ship of disaster that devoured the lives of a large number of powerful people and almost turned the second largest port in the empire into a dead port?
Who would have imagined that a young man could reverse his bad luck, eliminate demons, and turn it into a temporary flagship of the Church of Light and Night?

Who would have imagined that because of this ship, the empire lost a princess, an entire naval family, and almost lost an admiral?
There are too many grievances between the Admiralty and the [Caribbean] that cannot be sorted out, but even without the previous incidents, Marshal Dewey just glanced at the position of this ship in the Extraordinary fleet, and immediately knew that this was not something he could afford Boat.

Outrageous!

It is actually in the position of the flagship.

The armed transport ship of the Knights of the Bright Guardian Order guards the Caribbean, while the medium-sized warships of the Church of the Storm are on the outer circle.

Isn't it?

Those who have the ability to deal with Bolivar's war knights, and those who have interests in Bolivar, there are only two or three big churches.The religion of reincarnation withered, so it was naturally the Lord of Storms and the Twin Goddesses.

However, the mortal commander of Bolivar on the opposite side [Rosed Knight] is very chicken thief. Knowing that he has no navy, he is very bachelor. After killing the troops and settlements deployed by the empire in the port, he demolished all the oil wells along the coast and withdrew to the inland. The nearest force was also at least 20 kilometers offshore.

There are only some innocent civilians who are unwilling to leave their homes along the coast, as well as an unknown number of spies.

This made the suffocated Imperial Navy useless and became the captain of the transportation team.

The Imperial Army is also facing difficulties. Unless the Empire intends to kill all the "obedient citizens" who hang the imperial flag at their doorsteps, the movements of the Imperial Army cannot be concealed at all. It is too difficult to fight against the enemy.

The key point is that the retinue of the war knights on the opposite side doesn't talk about martial arts at all, and shoots at mortal soldiers at will.

According to the default rules of the orthodox church, extraordinary people are not allowed to attack mortals, otherwise they will be strangled by the orthodox church.

They are all heretics. I am afraid that if you are an orthodox church, you will not come to be an Apocalypse Knight.

So the imperial army that was urgently transferred did not dare to go up.

Firstly, they lacked supplies, and secondly, the number of people and the quality of the strong were not good enough, and they would be slaughtered when they went ashore. In the end, the military had to humbly come to the Orthodox Church.

"Please do your best to punish the evil and eliminate [War Knight] Guxin!" Marshal House, the commander-in-chief of the army, ran to the Knights of the Light Protector.

But the other party said: "It is my responsibility to fight the demon army, but it is the judge's business to kill a single powerful enemy. The order I received is the commander-in-chief Abner Miller, who is fully cooperating with this operation. Please look for him, Your Excellency."

So House ran to the [Caribbean] again.

As soon as he got on the boat, he didn't brag or criticize, House was really envious to death.

A battleship only has such a small space, and even as a marshal, he lives in a small suite of 20 square meters.This is already a great luxury on a warship full of artillery and other weapons.

People are more mad than people.

Looking at their cruise ship, it is spacious and bright, with a swimming pool and an opera house, not to mention the super luxurious suites on it.

Thinking that the imperial princess was also on board, House was envious to death.

What's outrageous is that their own flagship can't beat this [abnormal] armed cruise ship with its own defense fog.

In a small banquet hall on the ship, Marshal House saw the three judges headed by Abner, and the strange thing was: sitting on the main seat was the legendary hero Mark.

Seeing this battle, House immediately understood that the navy was not wronged.

However, those guys from the Navy threw themselves into the ditch, what does it matter to the Army?

House acted as if he was fine, walked forward enthusiastically, and bowed slightly without pretensions: "I am the commander-in-chief of the army in charge of the empire's crusade against the rebels, Marshal House, and I have met all the superiors of the orthodox church."

Well, those who are in a good position will naturally be treated well.

"Please sit down." Mark waved his hand, and naturally an attendant brought up a chair for House to sit in the direction of Abner's next step.

"Thank you."

"Let me introduce the situation."

House greeted his adjutant and hung up a military map: "Bolivar is a large island country. The main island of Bolivar is about [-] square kilometers. Most of them are hilly areas. In fact, it is not too troublesome to fight. The problem is that None of our legions can withstand the attack of the Apocalypse Knights' followers. The opponent has the strength to easily kill our legion overnight. I wonder how many elites the Orthodox Church can send to cooperate with our army's actions?"

Abner said indifferently: "Three judges, 80 punishers, and 150 night watchmen. Adding Lord Destiny and his followers, that's all."

"This..." Marshal House was worried: "Even with the Guardian Knights, why does it sound like we can at most ensure the safety of one of our legions?"

"One judge is enough to kill all your divisions." Judge Anthony said coldly.

The formation of the Wright Army is a bit like the modern army on Earth. A division has about 300 soldiers, plus a brigade of 3000 Beyonders, and about [-] logistics personnel.

The three divisions together count as a whole regiment.

It's really not a joke for a Sequence 5 judge to kill a division, it's purely a matter of time.

"Yes, yes. Of course I know, but this will not ensure that the army will start!"

"How many troops do you think you need to fight an indigenous rebel army?" Judge Tony grinned slightly.

House lost his temper.

Of course he knew that, excluding the Knights of the Apocalypse, if he pulled in an army of [-] to wipe out the rebels, he would be criticized in the country if he won the battle, saying that he had worked hard and used cannons to fight mosquitoes.According to the intelligence, the opponent didn't even have a gun, and a large number of rebels were using cold weapons.

Mortals and extraordinary people who use cold weapons are two different concepts!
But seeing the opponent's commander's incomparably shrewdness, making use of his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses, and shrinking the front line, plus the war knight Gu Xin, it was a lie that he didn't feel apprehensive.

At this time, Mark rescued him instead: "Your Excellency Marshal, the mobilization power of the empire is limited, and there are not many soldiers from the army arriving now, right?"

The marshal smiled bitterly: "Actually, only 3000 people arrived at the front line, and they didn't even have all the equipment."

Modern warfare is much more troublesome than ancient times. Soldiers in the past had swords and armor, and at most they cared about personal and horse food and grass, and they were basically done.

In the era of artillery, the supply of ammunition for bullets and shells is a big problem.

It has only been a few days since the rebellion started, and the empire, which was caught off guard, did not bring in many soldiers and supplies at all.Dozens of ships came from the navy, purely because they were too close, and those ships were already on patrol.

Abner was a good guy again: "Then let's not discuss the matter of coordinated operations. We will send the night watchmen to reconnaissance troops and find out the situation before discussing it. We will discuss it after your army is assembled. OK?"

The marshal bowed slightly again and saluted: "I am very grateful!"

After that, it was time for the poor Abner to work.He sits on the Caribbean and coordinates the night watchman's reconnaissance operations.

All kinds of news began to be gathered on the Caribbean.

Three days later, the initial news came.

"The rebels retreated to the Gelema Hills area 40 kilometers away from the shore. The terrain here is complex and there are many settlements. We folded several night watchmen inside. Fortunately, most of the opponent's transcendents are from the war department. They are good at Head-on confrontation, but not good at anti-infiltration and anti-reconnaissance." Abner marked the enemy's position on the map.

Abner continued: "The rebel army dug a large number of basements and tunnels in the hilly area. Since they were newly dug, the mud and muck have not been cleaned up, so it is easy to find. It will not be certain after a while."

It can be seen that the rebellion was hasty.

According to the collected information, the Church of Light and Night also generally knows the reason for the rebellion of the daughter of the opposite local leader [Rose Knight] Rosalind Silva—to put it bluntly, the governor of the empire decided to temporarily The tax increase, 100% increase is not counted, and it will be received in one breath for ten years.

A typical official coercion against the people!
It's okay for the governor to burp his own fart, and he's still cheating the empire.

The faces of the two judges, Anthony and Tony, were as black as the bottom of a pot. Based on their beliefs, it was difficult for them to accept that they were going to do something to help the evildoers.

Abner said in a deep voice: "The top priority is that we must separate the rebel army from the [war knights]. Otherwise, fighting the rebel army and the war knights together will not be a matter of 10 deaths. Just imagine, everyone, If 100 million people die on this land, what will happen to [Famine], [Plague] and [Death] in the end? This is the ideal breeding ground for a new generation of Apocalypse Knights.”

Not to mention the two judges, there are a bunch of trainee judges here, none of them thought of a good way to smoke their heads.

The rebels need the power of 【WAR】to deal with the Empire. [War Knight] Guxin is eager to raise his rank through war. As long as he fights, his strength will rise rapidly.

For the sake of face, the empire cannot easily forgive the rebels.

On the other hand, as long as the scale of the war expands, Guxin can even soar to Sequence 4, and basically no one can deal with him.

It's just a deadlock.

Mark suddenly said, "Call House."

Not long after, Marshal House boarded the ship.

"Your Excellency Destiny, you called me..."

"I would like to ask, what is the bottom line of the empire? Is it necessary to kill 100 million soldiers and civilians of the rebels to prove the power of the empire? Or should we take back the oil fields as soon as possible and restore the production and supply of the colonies?"

"Uh..." House couldn't speak.

Mark said coldly: "I heard that the price of crude oil in the empire, as well as the prices of coffee, cane sugar, rum, and cigars have skyrocketed. If it can't be done before the Chinese New Year, let alone the military department, even His Majesty's There will be a lot of pressure.”

Fortunately, oil is the fuel for all internal combustion engines.Cars, trains, and ships simply cannot do without it.If this thing is missing, even if it is expected to be missing, the entire empire will be in chaos.

However, the coastal oil area of ​​Bolivar is the largest oil producing area in the empire, accounting for more than 40% of the share.

House wiped his sweat: "If the rebellion can be quelled quickly, the Senate agrees to kill only the culprit."

"This is easy to handle. This is the weakness of the rebels." Mark pointed to the Bolivar Lake in the middle of the Bolivar map, which is the largest freshwater lake in the kingdom.
