Chapter 452 Battle situation

The southeastern coast of the Black Sea, the lower half of this S-shaped vast Sea Territory.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that this area is different from the hustle and bustle of the past. In just a few days, it has fallen into flames.

The artillery rumbled.

The smoke filled the air.

Shouting to the sky.

Cruise ships with flags of various colors swayed on the sea, and when they met “by chance”, a fierce exchange of fire would break out. Some come from the trials between the fleets, and some come from the single-ship fighting in the navy, which can not only reflect the talent of the officers but also be the most famous.

Besides.

Since Cyrus has undeclared war unilaterally, the merchant ships that travel between continents will of course no longer have the protection of the coat of “peace”, and the enemy navy has also become legitimate looters.

The common practice in wartime is to capture an enemy’s merchant ship. Except for 1/4/2022, which needs to be turned over to the army, the rest will be distributed by all officers and soldiers on the battleship according to regulations.

Who can resist this temptation?

The sea is chaotic and the land is unstable.

The army soldiers dressed in gorgeous military uniforms marched forward with military flags, and the essence of “line tactics” in the era of flintlock guns was to line up and shoot with iron discipline!

The so-called naval battle line is just an extension of this line of tactics.

In the open fields, in the cities, in the mines, in the fertile plantations, the battle goes on all the time.

Earlier, a large number of young men in Cyrus were recruited into the army. Before the fleet led by Lieutenant General Doyle Griffiths set sail, a larger number of troop transports had already set off.

At this time, the Southern Continent is pouring into the Tulip colony, looting and occupying major cities and strongholds.

Before that.

After the partial defeat of Cyrus’s blitzkrieg against Tulips, the war has naturally turned into a protracted war where you retreat and we advance. The tulips that came back to his senses are not soft persimmons to be bullied, and they must mobilize troops to attack the unruly Cyrus.

The Cyrus people can decide when the war will start, but not when it will end. Moreover, Cyrus, who already needs a war to transfer domestic conflicts, is obviously not ready to settle down.

Even if they have won the Rand Gold Mine belonging to Tulip, it has greatly boosted the morale of the nation.

Blocking the air route and prohibiting tulips from navigating; dispatching large fleets to patrol and wait for the opportunity to annihilate the opponent’s living forces; from time to time, sea and land base offensive and defensive battles are launched.

And this war on tulips is undoubtedly a good medicine for the chaotic situation in the country.

It not only diverts the attention of all classes in the country, but also absorbs the most unstable part of the population into the army and puts it into the battlefield, and can also obtain a full amount of capture from the enemy country to fill the domestic economic pressure, and further curb the near future. In recent years, tulips have been developing more and more vigorously.

It’s a great chess game that kills multiple birds with one stone. Of course, the premise is that you must win in the end!

The chaotic Southern Continent, plus the new continent of multi-party melee, the yellow golden sea, and the Black Sea where the two powers compete.

I don’t know when it started, it seems that most of the world known to mankind has become a mess.

South of the continent.

The large-scale bastion “Tedadis Fort” of “Baoshu Bay”, which is dangerously defended.

In just a few days, this has become the most complete and important base of the Alliance’s military force in the Southern Continent.

The gun pits on the port have not been completely filled, and there are traces of the war left everywhere, and even the air has a lingering smell of gunpowder and rust.

Soldiers worked overtime to refurbish fortifications, clear channels blocked by sunken ships, and repair warships that were badly damaged in the last naval battle.

More cruise ships have been dispatched to ensure the smooth flow of the route, and at the same time, they have also launched rounds of battles with the Cyrus Navy.

In the Bastion Conference Hall.

Led by Major General Marshall Rupert from the Kingdom of Phalatis and House Siric from the Kingdom of Tayro, the high-ranking officers, battleship captains, garrison wizards, and accompanying priests of the Church of the Black Iron Cross have All together.

However, from the lack of a lot of sparse chairs in the Conference Hall, you can see how tragic the battle situation was that day. This is the result of cleaning up once after the Ilyans left. .

Smoke lingers.

Bang——

Major General Marshall, with a briar pipe in his mouth and a rough face, dropped the battle damage report in his hand and slapped the conference table:

“The property and facilities are not counted, and the personnel alone will lose close to one third.

Ilya’s bastards can no longer be counted on. If Wilmot and his fleet don’t leave, Cyrus You may not dare to do it directly!”

The three strongest kingdoms in the tulips were Phaletis, Ilya, and Taro, and they also jointly sent the Great Knight to guard “Tedadis Fort”.

But now because of the more turbulent situation in Ilia than in Cyrus, it is obviously impossible to give more support to the overseas colonies.

After this battle, the other two countries have completely given up on this one of the very best ally in the alliance, and decided to find another way out.

The major general looked towards the adjutant below, and fiercely exhaled a smoke ring:

“Did you send a note to Sark and Atlan? What did they say?”

The face of the middle-aged adjutant was also not very good-looking. After standing up, he reported:

“Reporting to Your Excellency General, it is not smooth.

Because of the location factor, the Icelandic country Tran’s influence in the Southern Continent is not strong, and the feedback says that they can do nothing.

Prince Clement, the governor of the Southern Continent of the Sark Empire, has a somewhat ambiguous attitude, neither offering military assistance nor expressly rejecting it. .”

“hmph, short-sighted! The signal of just holding on to the pawn is obvious enough.

Although Cyrus is now only declaring war on us, if the tulips end up Unable to resist, how could trifling Sack be alone?

Are the achievements of everyone’s hard work for hundreds of years, all easily harvested by the Cyrus people?”

The side looks like The more refined Major General Haus seemed to have seen through Sark’s plan long ago, clasping his hands and holding his chin: “Maybe it’s the idea of sitting back and enjoying the success, after the power of the alliance is extremely exhausted. Taking another shot to save the field can not only avoid meeting force with force directly with Cyrus, but also fiercely blackmail us once.

It’s not only Cyrus himself who is watching the ‘Treasure Tree Bay’? The reformed Sark also wants to bite us!

However, this is not like the handwriting of the playboy Prince Clement, even if it is self-defeating, even the prince may not be able to afford this Responsibility.”

He looked up and looked towards the bottom:

“Is there any other bad news?”

The intelligence officer of the base, Brace Oneself, stood up:

“Reporting to the two generals, the latest battle report has just been compiled.

As the one who took the initiative to attack, Cyrus clearly understood the intelligence of the countries very thoroughly. .The most important offensive directions are the Rand Gold Mine, Baoshu Bay and Ilya, the most valuable Greenfield colony in the Zaire Basin.

It has been confirmed that the Alliance is in the most important polar Rand in the Southern Continent The gold mine was announced to change its owners, and only 40% of the national armies were finally gathered, and the losses far exceeded ours.

In addition, most of the Ilya colonies, including Greenfield City, have been occupied, and it is said that the garrison company is decent The resistance can’t do it, big Look out for the wind and flee.

If Colonel Goer hadn’t been overlooked, ‘Treasure Tree Bay’ and our ‘Teddadis Fort’ might not have escaped this disaster. “

In other words, as long as the large bastion “Teddadis Fort” is still there, the alliance will still have a chance to make a comeback.

The article on the sea will be done on land, and other countries have long followed. Cyrus learned this.

In the most important overseas occupied areas and key routes, most of the bases and bastions were built. In any case, with a 7:1 force advantage, a bastion was conquered. The temptation for the fort to take about 20-30 days is still great.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the attacking side does not have a third rank powerhouse that can ignore the terrain, or its own side has an equivalent power.

In this world, the transcender is the biggest variable, and it is possible to create a miracle at any time to turn the tide of the battle.

Just like the last battle at Fort Tedadis.

p>

Speaking of Geer, the navy executives in the audience fell silent.

subconsciously looked towards the place where the lower level of the bastion was blocked by the heavy stone walls, and the shrill sound seemed to echo in their ears again. A horrible howl.

To be honest, everyone in this naval base owes Goll half their lives, and if it weren’t for him pulling strongly against a crazy tide, at least the number of people in the Conference Hall would have been It’s less than half, and the others have already become bereaved dogs.

Not to mention the serious consequences of completely losing the “Treasure Tree Bay” to the Alliance.

Even if you’re used to it Life and death soldiers, thinking of the tragic situation of Geer, who saved everyone in disguise, could not help but sigh in their hearts.

As Geer’s direct subordinate to the Shangguan in the base, Major General Marshall, his eyes were slightly lowered. sighed, as if to spit out all the resentment in his heart, he asked the adjutant after a long time, “Have you informed the family of Colonel Geer? “

“The letters have been sent through Spirit World to Mrs. Davely, the wife of Colonel Garriott ‘Newynport’, and Brigadier General Garriott, who is stationed in the kingdom’s new continent.

It will take about a month and a half for Mrs. Daveley to arrive from China, and it may take two months for Commodore Garriott to arrive because he needs to go against the ocean currents in the North Ring. “

“Take care of Colonel Geer and urge the military to send him his commendation order and posthumous brigadier general promotion order. It can be regarded as an explanation for the family members.” “

The first half of the sentence was directed to the priest with the army, and the second half of the sentence was directed to his adjutant.

Speaking of this remark with a sullen face, Marshall couldn’t help but curse:

“Damn Cyrus, damn Ilya, if it weren’t for them, maybe in a few months Gorr would be a real Great Knight. How could this be the case, bastard!

The way it is now, TMD might as well let me write a death notice directly! ”

Thinking that in a month or two, he will face the eyes of his family from hope to despair, the major general feels a burst of anxiety and powerlessness with nowhere to vent.

At this moment.

唳——!

in the sky A pierce gold and split stone birdsong resounded through the sky, and also passed through the thick stone walls of the bastion to the ears of everyone present.

As if being watched by some terrifying predator, many felt a throbbing in the depth of one’s soul.

clang! clang! clang!

The alarm bells sounded.

“Enemy attack! “

Next moment, the soldiers who were repairing the port outside the bastion were shrouded in a huge shadow cast from the sky, it was a huge blue eagle with a wingspan of more than twelve meters!

xiu——

The two Great Knights reacted the fastest. They were still in the Conference Hall at the last moment, and the next moment had already landed on the open space outside the bastion. When the blue eagle came and the vague silhouette on his back.

The imposing manner of the third rank demonized creatures unquestionably assaults the senses, making them all feel a tingling in the scalp .

Nowadays, the TEDA Fortress can’t stand the toss any more.

But he can only ask:

“Who? “

The silhouette riding on the big bird didn’t answer.

Boom-!

The blue eagle fell from the sky like a thunderbolt, and the The flat crater blew a big hole again.

Zila

The dust was flying, and the fine electric light was ringing.

Tread..tread..tread. .

A spotless black army boots stepped out first, followed by a young general with a gilt command knife hanging from his waist, and the blue captain behind him with a strong cloak waving the smoke away and appearing in front of everyone.

Behind him, “Roddy” in the same military uniform followed suit.

Walking in front of the two Great Knights, the black eyes still flickering with electric light were a bit dazzling.

“Good day, Your Excellency, I’m Alwin Garriott! ”
