The southeast coast of the Black Sea, the lower half of this S-shaped vast sea.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can find that this area is different from the hustle and bustle of the past, and it has been plunged into flames in just a few days.
The gunfire rumbled.
The gunpowder is full of smoke.
shouted to kill the sky.
Cruise ships with various flags hovering on the sea, "accidental" encounters will cause fierce firefights. Some come from the temptation between the fleets, and some come from the single-ship combat in the navy that can reflect the talents of officers and is the most famous.
Besides.
Since Hilius had unilaterally and undeclared war, the merchant ships travelling between several continents, of course, would no longer have that layer of "peace" asylum, and the enemy navy had become a legal looter.
The common practice in wartime is to capture an enemy merchant ship. Except for a quarter that needs to be turned over to the military headquarters, the remaining part is distributed by all officers and soldiers on the battleship according to the rules.
Under this temptation, who can bear it?
The sea is chaotic, and the land is unstable.
Army soldiers dressed in colorful uniforms are carrying their flags and marching in line. The essence of the "line tactics" of the flintlock era is to queue up for shooting with iron discipline!
The so-called naval warship battle line is just an extension of this line tactics.
In the wilderness, in the city, in the mine, in the fertile planting area, battles are fought all the time.
Earlier, a large number of young men and women in Hilius were recruited into the army. Before the fleet led by Lieutenant General Doyle Griffits set sail, a larger number of troop carriers had already set off.
At this time, there was an endless stream of influx into the colonies of tulips in the Southern Continent, looting and occupying major cities and strongholds.
before this.
After the partial defeat of Hilius's blitz on Tulip, the war has naturally turned into a protracted battle where you retreat and I enter. After all, the tulip is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied. He mobilized his troops and vowed to attack the unruly Hilius head-on.
The Hilius can decide when the war will start, but they cannot decide when it will end. Besides, Hilius, who needs a war to pass on internal conflicts, is obviously not ready to accept it.
Even if they have won the Rand gold mine belonging to the tulips, it has greatly boosted the morale of the people.
Blocked air routes and prohibited the navigation of tulips; dispatched large fleets to wait for opportunities to wipe out the other's active forces; from time to time, offensive and defensive battles were launched on sea and land bases.
And this war against tulips is undoubtedly a good medicine for the chaotic situation in the country.
Not only has it diverted the attention of all classes in the country, and absorbed the most unstable part of the country’s population into the army by the way, it can also obtain sufficient seizures from the enemy country to fill up the domestic economic pressure, and further curb the growing development of tulips in recent years. momentum.
is a wonderful chess with multiple moves, of course, the premise is that you must eventually win!
The chaotic South Continent, the New Continent, the Golden Sea, and the Black Sea where the two are fighting.
I don't know when it started, it seems that most humans have known that the world has become a mess.
...
Southern mainland.
The large bastion of "Treasure Bay", "Fort Teddy", which was safely held.
In just a few days, this place has become the most complete and important base camp for the Alliance in the Southern Continental Army.
The cannon pit on the port has not been completely filled, and there are traces of the post-war left everywhere, and even the lingering smell of gun smoke and rust remains in the air.
The soldiers worked overtime to repair the fortifications, clear the channel blocked by the sunken ship, and repair the warship that was badly damaged in the last naval battle.
More cruise ships have been sent out to ensure the smooth flow of routes, but also to start a round of competition with the Hilius Navy.
In the bastion meeting room.
Headed by Major General Marshall Rupert of the Kingdom of Falettis and Haus Cilic of the Kingdom of Tyrol, all high-level officers, battleship captains, garrison wizards, and priests of the Black Iron Cross Church have made a living.
However, from the lack of a lot of sparse chairs in the conference room, you can see how tragic the battle that day was. This is the result of having cleared it once after the Ilyans left.
In the smoke.
嘭
Major General Marshall, who had a rough face with a briar pipe in his mouth, dropped the damage report in his hand and slapped the conference table:
"Excluding property and facilities, the personnel alone lost nearly one-third of the battle.
Ilya’s group of can no longer be counted on. If Wilmot and his fleet do not leave, Hilius may not dare to do it directly! "
The three strongest countries in the tulip were Falettis, Ilya, and Tyro. They also dispatched great knights to garrison "Fort Teddy".
But now because of the more turbulent situation in Ilya than in Hilius, it is obviously impossible to give more support to overseas colonies.
After this battle, the other two countries have completely given up on this ally who was originally the best in the alliance and decided to find another way out.
Major General looked at the adjutant below, and spit out a smoke ring severely:
"Did you send a note to Zack and Atlan? What did they say?"
The face of the middle-aged lieutenant is also not very good-looking. After standing up, he reported:
"The report to your Excellency General, it was not smooth.
Because of location factors, the Icelandic country Atlant is not strong in the southern continent, and it is reported that they can do nothing.
But the attitude of Prince Clement, the governor of the Southern Continent of the Sark Empire, was a bit ambiguous, neither saying that he would send troops to assist, nor explicitly refuse. "
"Hmph, short-sighted! Just the signal given by the motion of not moving is obvious enough.
Although Hilius is only declaring war against us, if Tulip finally fails to resist, how can Sack be alone?
Hill the Hilius people easily harvest the fruits of your hard work for dozens of years? "
Major General House, who looked more elegant next to him, seemed to have seen through Sack’s plan a long time ago, with his chin resting in his hands.
"Perhaps it is the idea of sitting back and enjoying the success, waiting for the alliance's power to be extremely exhausted before shooting to save the field, not only can avoid direct head-on with Hilius, by the way, it can also blackmail us severely.
Hilius himself is not the only one watching'Treasure Tree Bay'? Sack, who is reforming internally, also wants to bite us!
However, this is not like the handwriting of the dandy Prince Clement. If it becomes self-defeating, even the prince may not be able to bear this responsibility. "
"Any other bad news?"
The intelligence officer of the base bit the bullet and stood up:
"Report to the two generals, the latest battle report just now has been compiled.
As the active offensive party, Hilius clearly understood the intelligence of the countries very thoroughly. The main direction of attack is the Rand Gold Mine, Treasure Tree Bay and Ilya, the most valuable Green City colony in the Zaire Basin.
It has been confirmed that the Alliance announced a change of ownership in the Rand Gold Mine, the most important bipolar mine in the Southern Continent, and that the total number of armies of various countries that were finally gathered was only about 40%, and the loss far exceeded ours.
In addition, most of the Ilya colony, including the city of Greenfield, has already fallen. It is said that the garrison cannot even make decent resistance, and most of them flee.
If it weren’t for Colonel Gehr’s link, ‘Treasure Tree Bay’ and our ‘Teddy Fort’ may not escape this disaster. "
In other words, as long as the large bastion "Teddy Fort" is still there, the league still has a chance to come back.
The articles on the sea are done on land, and other countries have long learned this from Hilius.
In the most important occupied areas and key routes overseas, most of them have built various bases and bastions. In any case, with a 7:1 strength advantage, the temptation to conquer a bastion in about 20-30 days is still great.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the attacking party does not have a Tier 3 powerhouse who can already ignore the terrain, or that one's own side has equal power.
In this world, the transcendent is the biggest variable, and it is possible at any time to perform miracles to reverse the situation.
Just like the last battle in Fort Teda.
Speaking of Gehr, the high-ranking navy present here fell silent.
subconsciously looked at the place where the lower layer of the bastion was blocked by the heavy stone wall, and the screaming howling seemed to echo in his ears.
To tell the truth, everyone in this naval base owes Gehr half his life. If he hadn't turned the tide, the number of people in the conference room would have been at least half less, and the others would have long since become bereaved dogs.
Not to mention the serious consequences of completely discarding "Treasure Tree Bay".
Even the soldiers who are used to seeing life and death, think of the tragic situation of Geer who saved everyone in a disguised form, can't help feeling sad.
As Major General Marshall, who is directly under Gehr’s superiors in the base, his eyes drooped and sighed deeply, as if he was about to vomit all the anger in his heart. It took a long time to ask the adjutant:
"Have you notified the family of Colonel Geer?"
"They have been sent to Mrs. Davli, the wife of Colonel'Newin Harbor', and Brigadier General Garriott who is stationed in the colony of the Kingdom’s New World.
Calculating the time, it would take about one and a half months for Mrs. Davli to arrive from the country, and Brigadier General Galliot arrived because of the need to go against the northern ring current, which may take two months. "
"Take good care of Colonel Geer, and urge the military department to send him his award order and posthumous promotion order for brigadier general. It's...it's an explanation for the family members."
The first half of the sentence is toward the priest with the army, and the second half is toward his adjutant.
said these words with a sullen face, Marshall could not help cursing secretly:
"Damn Hilius, Ilya, if it weren't for them, maybe Geer would be a real knight in a few months. How could it be like this, bastard!
TMD might as well let me write the death notice directly! "
Thinking of facing family members from hope to despair in a month or two, the major general felt a wave of anxiety and powerlessness with nowhere to vent.
At this moment.
唳!
In the sky, a bird chirping through the golden cracked stone resounded through the sky, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also spread to the ears of everyone present through the thick stone wall of the bastion.
seems to be stared at by some kind of predator, and many people feel heart palpitations.
Clang! clang! clang! ...
The alarm bell rang.
"Enemy attack!"
The next moment, the soldiers who were trimming the harbor outside the bastion were shrouded in a huge shadow projected from the sky. It was a huge blue eagle with a wingspan of more than twelve meters!
咻
The two great knights reacted fastest, they were still in the meeting room at the last moment, and they had already arrived on the open space outside the bastion at the next moment. When I saw the blue eagle from high altitude and the faint figure on his back.
There is no doubt that the arrogant and domineering aura of the third-order demonized creatures rushed forward, making them all feel a little scalp numb, but now Teddysburg can no longer withstand the toss.
could only ask:
"who?"
The figure riding on the bird did not speak.
Boom!
As if a thunderbolt fell, blasting the crater that had just been filled into a big hole again.
Zi La...
The dust is flying, and the fine electric lights are ringing.
step on.. step on.. step on..
A spotless black army boot stepped out first, and then a gilt-gold commanding knife hung from his waist, and the young general with the blue captain behind him swung back the smoke and appeared in front of everyone.
Behind him, "Rody", who is also in uniform, followed suit.
walked in front of the two great knights, the black eyes still flashing with electricity were a little dazzling.
"Good day, sir, I am Irving Galliot!"
