Lord of War

The   Void Empire has officially confirmed its dominance in the Southern Continent.

  Of course, this is due to the special geographical environment of the southern continent.

At the southern end of the continent, there has been only a hegemonic empire such as the Millennium Covenant for a long time. However, due to the limitation of geographical environment factors, the influence of this hegemonic empire has been limited to its neighboring small and medium-sized kingdoms and principalities. Among them, the most influential one is naturally the Principality of Lane. As for other countries in the Southern Continent, such as the Kingdom of Fascism, they have always ignored the Millennium Covenant Empire.

  The reason for this situation is that the distance between the Millennium Covenant Empire and the Emilia Empire is too close, and the border between the two countries can’t hide from the other side’s investigations. In addition, the Millennium Covenant Empire needs to allocate a large amount of troops to suppress the path of the abyss that may recur. It always gives the illusion that the Millennium Covenant Empire is relatively weak, so its influence has always been difficult to radiate to the entire South. mainland.

Compared with the Millennium Covenant Empire, the other empires on the Marvel Continent-let alone the other two empires, just talk about the other four ancient empires that are as famous as the Millennium Covenant Empire: the Maggie Empire and the Saint Georges Empire divided the entire For the interests of the Northern Continent, with the existence of these two overlord-level empires, it is difficult for any country to get ahead in the Northern Continent; the Zenas Empire has the highest military capabilities in the entire continent because of its military gods. It is a well-deserved top hegemon of the Eastern Continent, even if it is another country with the real empire, it dares not provoke the authority of the Zenas Empire; as for the Emilia Empire, it can block many outlanders with its own power. The invasion of the orc, elves, and dwarf empires deserved the title of the overlord of the Western Continent.

   So, fundamentally speaking, the existence of the millennium covenant empire is not unreasonable.

  And this is also the situation that the man on the pure white throne wants to change. It's a pity that his plan had not been completely completed, and he encountered Rek opening the door of bones and directly launched an undead invasion. Now the entire eastern border of the Millennium Covenant Empire is almost a mess.

  Under such various opportunities, the Void Principality, which has unified the tribes of the entire Barren Land, is naturally impossible to miss. Of course, the core of the imperial dream is still due to the existence of Ulamog, Kozilek, and Alexis. If it were not for the existence of these three superpowers, Sean wanted to change the void duchy It will take at least twenty years to become a void empire.

  Don’t say anything else, just annexing the Kingdom of Fascism, leading to the border of the country and the Nether Empire living next to the Zenas Empire, is not a kind neighbor.

  In any case, the Void Empire absolutely dare not launch an expeditionary army plan at will. After all, half of the empire’s forces were pulled out in such a breath, which is equivalent to dropping a large piece of meat in front of the lion of the Chenas Empire, tempting the opponent to eat-so the plan was to be in Chai from the beginning. Before the Nas Empire completely digested the fascist kingdom, this expedition plan ended.

  Of course, the original purpose of the Void Empire Expeditionary Force was to divert the internal conflicts of the Void Empire.

  But no matter how these actions and measures are, they cannot completely reverse the essence. Really want to solve the internal problems of the Void Empire, there are only two solutions: one is to retrieve Sean; the other is to elect a new emperor-but in fact, except for those who have not figured out the situation at all. , William, Hela, Neil, Cecilia and others are very clear that if anyone wants to become the emperor of the void empire at this time, then Alexis and others will absolutely not agree.

  The void empire that lost the shelter of these three superpowers can still be called the void empire?

At this time, the Void Expeditionary Army has arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Ganesh. For the march on this road, the Void Empire Expeditionary Army did not evade the marching route. Except for the dangerous places that cannot be directly crossed, the Void Expeditionary Army’s The marching route is a straight line to the Duchy of Lembel. The kingdoms and principalities that were to be passed along the way were all negotiated by a diplomatic team led by Diana, who paid a certain price in exchange for military access.

  In fact, with the current Southern Continent hegemony of the Void Empire, it is naturally possible to force it through at no cost. After all, there are really few countries that can compete with the Void Empire. And even if they have the strength to challenge, they will never compete with such a revenge division, because this is a matter of no benefit to the country.

  It’s just that, in order to take into account the issue of the reputation of the mainland-this is also the responsibility and image issue that the overlord-level empire needs to bear, so the Void Empire has to come up with some benefits as compensation.

Of course, for those who dare to refuse to let the Nether Empire pass, whether they really want to swear their national sovereignty and refuse to let the Nether Empire pass, or to obtain greater benefits, the response of the Nether Empire is very simple: just run over. .

  After the main forces of the four kingdoms were eradicated by the Nether Empire's army, this naturally saved Diana's diplomatic negotiations a lot of trouble.

  But right now, the expeditionary force of the Void Empire still had to stop temporarily outside the border of the Kingdom of Ganesh.

The Kingdom of Ganes, as a vassal state on the side of the pro-Saint Joel’s Empire, this country has the top ten knights in the Northern Continent-although the ranking is not high, it fluctuates between ninth and tenth all year round. , But in terms of combat power alone, it belongs to the more powerful one. After all, it is a knight group that has been personally instructed by the leader of the pure white wings knight group.

  The reason why the ranking has been low is purely because the order of the knights in the Northern Continent is not like that of other continents. As long as the knights have been certified by the Knights Guild, they can participate in the ranking. The ranking of the knights here has always been restricted to a scale of one thousand. That is to say, if you want to participate in the assessment and review of the knights' guild, you can only conduct a test of a thousand people at most.

  And the Holy Knights of Ganes, the staff is full of fifty thousand people-this is the reason why the Holy Knights of Ganes has been unable to squeeze into a higher ranking.

Hela did not want to head-to-head with the Holy Knights of Ganesh, because according to the information she collected, the national strength of the Kingdom of Ganesh is less than 400,000, while the strength that can become a regular army is only 150,000, and the rest is The two hundred and fifty thousand of that includes all the troops including logistics, baggage, reserve service, etc. Except for the 50,000 troops of the Holy Knights of Ganesh, the second echelon of the Kingdom of Ganesh has only 100,000 troops.

  But in the countless battlefield deductions envisioned by Hela, in order to completely swallow the 50,000 troops of the Holy Knights of Ganesh, Hela needs to pay at least a price of more than 100,000 troops. Although this time the expeditionary force is half-national, which is as large as 500,000, in fact, apart from being responsible for protecting the safety of the logistics supply route and leaving some as a reserve force, it can actually be regarded as a front-line combat force. There are only two hundred thousand.

   Pay the price of 100,000 troops in one breath-although it is not a battle damage of all personnel, this is still a big loss for Hela. And once it stops here in the Kingdom of Ganesh, it will be extremely unfavorable for the Void Empire-the Zenus Empire is still a beast that looks at it, and neither Hela nor William can ignore the natural possession of this behemoth. Threatening.

  However, the Kingdom of Ganesh is also very smart. They did not explicitly reject Hela's request for military access. Instead, they hoped that Hela could wait for a while on the grounds of the need to hold a meeting to discuss. But how long this period of time is, the Kingdom of Ganesh did not say clearly, this is undoubtedly a sufficient message: they are trying to delay the time.

  But delaying time must be accompanied by certain strategic goals and plans.

  What Hela was thinking about at the moment was what Ganes’ plan was.

She has received a letter from Cecilia yesterday, stating that the Void Empire has already entered into an alliance with the Maggie Empire, and the Maggie Empire will contain the Saint Joles Empire from the front, so they can’t give them to the north. Hela provides any military support, but relatively, because the Maggie Empire is holding the St. Joles Empire from the front, it also makes Hela's logistical route on the northern continent not need to invest too much force.

  In general, that is, 50,000 more available troops.

"Wait another three days. If the Kingdom of Ganesh does not give a reply after three days, then we will force an offensive." In the combat meeting, Hela could only make such a decision in the end, because he did not know Ge Before the trump card of the Kingdom of Nest, Hela did not want Gnes to continue to delay time, even if the price to be paid is quite heavy.

   "Then who is in charge of the pioneer?" Alfred asked in a deep voice.

"I'll do it." Clofe said directly, the closer we get to the Duchy of Lumber, the more passionate Clofe's emotions become. "My army is not a display. I have played less than four times since the expedition. I'm almost back at the door, don't you plan to let me go into battle?"

"That's not the case." Alfred shook his head. He knew Hella and William’s plan. After all, in terms of loyalty, Alfred would never be lower than Hella, William, Neal and others. When it comes to qualifications, Alfred is a well-deserved third person.

  The only pity is that Alfred’s potential has been tapped to the extreme.

  Because in this world, he did not experience the tragic loss of his daughter, so Alfred failed to break through the shackles of his own potential.

  In the game, Alfred was once active on the Northern Continent as the vengeful **** of war. His strong personal combat power and ruthless personality made him a companion for countless players to solicit. It is precisely because of this that Sean will be impressed with the character of Alfred, and he will be recruited to his own ranks in the first time-and in fact, Alfred did give him an early impression. Sean was a great help.

  Although it is regrettable that Alfred has not been able to reach the height of the strong in the game, if Sean is allowed to make a choice, he is naturally more willing to be in this situation. Besides, although Alfred could not become the God of War, at least his talent in leading soldiers was much stronger than the one in the game, which still proved that Alfred was a rare talent.

  For Alfred’s words, even Clover would not refute it explicitly.

  Because in today's void empire, if you want to find a regiment that is as sturdy as the Cecilia's Guards, and is also good at gnawing hard bones, then it must be the Thunder Lion who is not Alfred. And in terms of personal charm, Alfred is far more popular than Cloff-whether it is in the military control department or the love of soldiers at the bottom, Alfred is truly popular.

   "Then General Fred, do you have any opinion?" Cloff endured the restlessness in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"We've been fighting together for so long, don't you still believe in Hella?" Alfred replied evasively, "Hella's strategic layout, even William is praised, so we should trust her. She. We will listen to whatever arrangements are made. Hela will definitely have her intentions."

"Humph." Clough snorted softly, but since Alfred has already moved out the old comrade-in-arms friendship card, of course he can't continue to refute anything, "I don't care about the others, but attack the portal of the Duchy of Lumbel. In the first battle, I must be the vanguard."

   "Even if you don't mention it, I prepared it this way." Hela said with a calm face, "After all, this was once the home of you and the Queen, so now that you are home, you must knock on this door."

Hearing Hela said this, Klov’s dissatisfaction gradually subsided: "Then Gnes, what are you going to do?...According to the report of the scouts, the opponent’s formation has almost taken us all the way forward. It's all blocked. If you really want to pass it directly, then it must be a tough battle."

  "In dealing with cavalry, only the troops of Alfred and I can come in handy."

   "Not necessarily." A loud voice broke Clover's speech.

  This made everyone present in the conference room frowned, because the voice did not come from inside the camp, but from outside the camp.

  A man wearing heavy armor, without a report from the soldier, opened the curtain of the camp and walked in.

  Almost everyone's eyes were locked on him instantly.

  Hela glanced at Alexis who was sitting on the side, and saw that she had no expression or reaction, and she was relieved: "Who are you?"

"I'm sorry, please forgive my intrusion." The man in heavy armor bowed slightly and saluted, and then said, "I am Anton, Anton Symes, the commander of the Sanctioner Corps of the Kingdom of War. Come to support your army on the order of the Lord Saintess."

  "A person from the Kingdom of God of War?"

"What does it mean?"

  A loud voice rang in the camp, and everyone looked inexplicable. Because according to their knowledge, there should be no intersection between the Void Empire and this newly promoted Northern Continent powerful kingdom, so all the people present could not understand what the heavy armored man meant. Of course, the more important thing is that this man who doesn't know his enemies or friends can walk into the camp calmly, and the camp has not issued any alarm, which makes people feel more uneasy.

   "Why didn't I know that our Void Empire still cooperates with your War God Kingdom?" Hela frowned.

   "Because this is an instruction from Lord Sean."

   "Shaun!?"

  "When did Lord Shaun give such instructions?"

  "Have you seen Sean? He is now in the Kingdom of God of War!?"

  In the camp, it became more noisy again.

   "Quiet!" Hela let out a deep cry, and everyone was quiet instantly, but everyone looked at Anton with curiosity.

  Of course, many people in the camp have just heard of the name "Sean Connery", but in fact, they don't know who Sean is. After all, when the Void Empire was officially established, Sean was no longer in the empire, and they only knew some of Sean's legendary deeds.

   "Shaun is in the Kingdom of God of War?" Hela asked in a deep voice.

   "No." Anton shook his head.

   "Then what did you mean by Master Shaun's instructions just now?"

"Master Shaun once had a deal with the saint of the Kingdom of God of War. He said that one day in the future, he will lead the army all the way north and step through the gates of the Principality of Lembel." An Dun said softly, but with plain words. But still failed to conceal the pride in this sentence, "At that time, our War God Kingdom will carry out corresponding support work.... Now, although your Void Empire northward army is not led by Lord Shaun, But our Lord Saint still asks me to come to support you and fulfill the promise that year."

  "You mean, Lord Sean has already started layout a few years ago?" Alfred's face showed a touch of excitement.

Anton looked back at Alfred, and then laughed: "If I'm right, and you're right... Then you can say that. I have not seen many wise men. We are from the Kingdom of God of War. The Lord Saint is one, and the Emperor Shaun of your Void Empire can also be regarded as one."

  Hela did not respond immediately, but glanced at Alexis.

  Alexis knew what Hela meant by looking at him, so he said: "He didn't lie, he did have traces of Sean on his body, and there was no fishy or murderous aura, at least it can prove that he is not an enemy."

"Honorable Alexis, I am indeed not an enemy." Anton saluted Alexis, "Of course, if you still don't believe me, I have another letter here, which is handed over by Lord Saint. Yes, it can prove my credibility."

   Soon, this letter reached Hela's hands.

  The letter did not include any substantive content, just a trivial sentence to prove the identity of Anton Symes. But what really makes Hela have to pay attention to is the seal at the end of this letter-Hela has read such a stamp in the relevant documents of the Void Realm, and it is also the stamp that William asked Hela to remember. Zhang, because the meaning of this seal, means that the owner of the seal is a person from the Void Empire.

"You mean...this letter was written by the saint Emily of your God of War Kingdom personally?" Hela suddenly realized that since she took refuge in Sean, she seemed to have never seriously observed this kindness. , Be close to the people, and always boldly delegate power to subordinate lords.

   "Yes, it was written by Master Saint, I will be watching it by the side." Anton replied, "Is there anything wrong?"

"No, no more." Hela shook her head, "This letter really proves the authenticity of what you just said, and I can now believe that you are indeed here to support it....Be able to obtain the Six Gods of the Kingdom of War I believe that our actions will be much smoother this time."

"I can't guarantee anything else, but the holy knights of the Kingdom of Ganesh will definitely not be a threat." Anton smiled confidently, "My sanctioner legion is a legion created specifically to deal with such infidels. ... So, I will deal with the knights of the Kingdom of Ganesh. You only need to deal with other people."

   "In that case, I wish your legion prosperous military luck."

   "Each!" Anton smiled and hammered his breastplate, then quickly turned and left. (To be continued~^~)
