Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 692
The young and newly-promoted Marquis of Amasir didn't know that the armies of the two sides hadn't formally met and hadn't launched a head-on collision with each other. The vigilance of the people of Saint-Emma towards La Rochelle had already been raised to a higher level.

But even if he knew this, there wouldn't be any surprises - he was very clear about the way the Ao San Emma mobilized the Earth Dragon Legion through the Dragon Eagle. After 1447 in the game, there were even La Rochelle's legions Lay a trap on the Ulsan Emma with the Dragon Eagle.

The undefeated record of the Earth Dragon Legion was also broken at that time.

The current situation is not good for Amasir. Through space teleportation technology, Ao Shengemma made the Earth Dragon Legion, which should not have appeared at the beginning of the war, appear on the battlefield ahead of time.

And this means that the people of Alma St. Emma can transport more war equipment, which would have been difficult to cross the Nora Corridor, and then transported to Amasir through the Black Forest, through the Adelaide Sea route.

Don't think that the people of Ossan Emma only have the prestigious Earth Dragon Legion. There are many elite legions in this country that use large war machines to fight, but because of geographical problems, they can't be used on La Rochelle in the west.

However, the country located on the east side of St. Emma did not have such an advantageous geographical location to block the advance of these legions. As you can imagine, they were all beaten and screamed——

It's just because of this that La Rochelle doesn't know much about these troops.

Even Cyril himself was lucky enough to fight against these troops only after La Rochelle disintegrated, when he was doing employment missions in some countries east of Ao San Emma.

He wasn't sure whether the people of St. Emma would use these guys to attack La Rochelle, so he made an early warning in his heart.

But from the looks of it now, he shouldn't need to worry about those huge chariots appearing on the grassland of Amasir for the time being.

Because the vanguard of the Ao San Emma people is the Hilaria Legion.

Heavy armored infantry prop up the front line, excellent cavalry units charge from the flanks, supplemented by the powerful breakthrough of the Earth Dragon Legion, the configuration of the Hilaria Legion can be said to be perfectly in line with the recommended lineup for novices in "Battle Chess". The style is also retro and functional.

But it is such a retro fighting style, but it is famous all over the world for its iron-blooded style.

Hard stubble...

Cyril didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for Amasir's troops to come into contact with such a hard stubble.

The advantage lies in the bloody high-intensity battle, which can make an army grow rapidly; the disadvantage is also due to this, such a battle is bound to bring a very high battle loss ratio. They were all miserable victories.

At this moment, they are stationed in a small fortress behind Hylia. This fortress named "Rock Fort" is not large in size, but it has left enough room for expansion since the initial stage of construction. It can be expanded into a medium-sized fortress at any time when it erupts."

The location of this fortress is also very tricky: Hylia is a sharp corner extending from the Adler region, along the coast of the Adler Sea, inserted into the edge of the forest.

And this rock castle is located at the junction of the forest and the field, at the root of the sharp corner.

Cyril estimated the marching route of the people of St. Emma, ​​and if he guessed correctly, the target of the Earth Dragon Legion was actually this Rock Fort—only by getting stuck in this position can Helia truly fell into the situation of an isolated city.

At that time, the ships on the Adelaide Sea will also berth on the extension line of Fort Rock to the shore, and will give support to the garrison of St. Emma who took the Fort Rock. La Rochelle's troops want to retake it and help Hailiadu You have to pay a lot of battle damage.

And if you don't have the control of Rock Fort, you can only go around the forest if you want to support Hailia-you can imagine how slow that is.

It was the early morning of November [-]th, and the young Marquis stood on the not-so-high tower of Rock Fortress, looking at the steamy wasteland in front of him.

The soldiers who have experienced fierce battles are resting in the Rock Fortress. The battle with the Earth Dragon Legion is a test for everyone. Their spirits have undergone a transformation of "cowardice-excitement-excitement". After the nerves are relaxed, it will bring more fatigue.

The number of earth dragons brought to Rock Fortress was only three. The number of earth dragons that were captured alive was more, but these strong things ran away in unison. Cyril, who decided to move quickly to avoid the Dragon Eagle They can only be chopped up.

The corpses of more than forty earth dragons were piled up in the open space of the city to form a hill. The commander of the earth dragon army was interrogated in the basement. It was heard that he had been whipped for three hours and had already vomited all his bitterness. What can be explained is estimated to be almost explained.

"Master Marquis, this is the latest interrogation result."

A soldier came running and handed the report to Cyril.He took a glance and laughed when he saw the first one:

"Taking Amasir in three months? It's a good thing he figured it out."

Very little information is available on paper.

This Earth Dragon Legion belongs to the Hilaria Legion, and its style of taking the lead in breaking into the Adler area as a vanguard is also in line with the style of its regiment leader, "Broken Finger" Rowell Oberian, but it is a pity that Cyril Got caught.

Since the war had just begun, the lieutenant colonel named "Murphy" couldn't interrogate any more tactical information.There is an important message here:

At present, the number of ships and warships coming to the Adlai Sea is not as many as imagined.

Except for a Paladin-class dreadnought ship as the flagship, there are four escort cruisers remaining, and the rest are basically Ao San Emma's sea merchant ships.

This is due to the idea of ​​"big is good, good is big" of Aosheng Emma. Their warships have the specifications of dreadnoughts, and they are bigger than the other, and the waterline is terribly deep.

Although the Adelaide Sea was connected to the open sea in the past and the water was relatively deep, the space itself was too restrictive for these big ships, just like trying to squeeze a [-]-pound fat orange cat into an [-]-pound Napoleon short-legged cat It's the same as in the cat's litter.

This actually made Cyril breathe a sigh of relief: Judging from this report, at least the current La Rochelle still has a chance to regain control of the Adelaide Sea from O Saint-Emma.

However, when he continued to look down and his eyes fell on a name, some of the breakthroughs he had just thought of were hit with a heavy hammer and he retracted.

Marshal of Ostem Emma's Western Expeditionary Force.

Io Veros.

The Storm Eagle of the Empire, the commander of the Western Guards, the sharpest knife, and the top attack master.

Cyril felt that his head was getting bigger, and he thought that Ossa Emma was too determined, and he valued Amasir too much!

How psychopathic are they to choose the combination of "General Marshal Io Velos" and "Deputy Marshal Rowell Oberian"?

They don't know that the old king of La Rochelle has just passed away, and the new queen has just ascended the throne. It is the most turbulent and unstable national power, and is it necessary to use such a configuration to deal with Amasir, who has just ended the civil strife?

Too deceiving!
These two marshals are the top offensive lunatics in Ost Emma. Although Io Velos still lacked some tempering in 1441 and was not as mature as later generations, Rowell Oberian helped him, These deficiencies will also be filled...

Difficult, so difficult!
Cyril kept talking, but his hand holding the report was steady, and he continued to look down.

The Hilaria Corps currently parked on the Adlai Sea is composed of multiple troops with the Hilarilla Corps itself as the core. Those who hope to gain military exploits in the war against La Rochelle, The nobles who went back and received the reward sent their own private army to participate in this war in this way.

This makes the number of people in this Hilaria army far exceed its original establishment, and there are currently more than 5 people staying on the Adelaide Sea——

What an exaggerated number... um, wait a minute?
Cyril raised his eyebrows, suddenly realizing that something was wrong.

The number of troops far exceeded the normal level, and they did not completely belong to the joint army of the Hilaria Army. The slogan of capturing Amasir in three months, and the extreme offensive style of the two marshals...

He was starting to feel bad.

While he was meditating, the gate of Rock Fort slowly opened, and several fast horses rushed in first. After stopping at the gate for a while, one of them immediately rushed to where Cyril was.

"Atzke." Cyril jumped off the tower and looked at the knight on horseback. The latter quickly got off his horse, took off the heavy cloak he was wearing, and panted, "Is this the result of your battle last night?" ?It’s too exaggerated. With so many earth dragons, how about our battle damage? Are the tactics studied before effective?”

He hurried over from Hemlock, his mind was full of things related to fighting the earth dragon, and the first moment he saw Cyril, he wished to put all the questions into the mouth of the young Marquis.

"The effect is better than we thought, but there are still shortcomings... But we can wait until later." Cyril's serious expression made Azike understand that the young Marquis had more important things to say.

"Did you catch their commander? Is this the confession compiled?" Atzke took the report from Cyril, bowed his head and began to read.

Time passed by, and when Atsk raised his head again, his eyes were already full of vigilance.

"Master Marquis. This matter needs to be taken seriously. I suggest that a meeting be held with the commanders of the Second and Fifth Legions immediately, and that the garrison of Otland Territory be sent to the Adler area first."

"Do you think so too?"

"Yes, to a certain extent, the composition of Ao San Emma's army is very similar to that of northern Xinjiang after His Majesty issued the 'conscription order' last year. The large number of troops gathered through this method can make the originally long A Everywhere along the coastline of the Dry Sea has become a battlefield."

"If those private troops who respond to the call want to gain more combat exploits, they will charge forward more courageously and seize the opportunity. Their offensive morale will be very high..."

"If I were the commander of Ao San Emma, ​​I would disperse these troops and launch their own attacks on the Adler area. Whoever can lay down more territory will have a greater contribution."

He looked directly into Cyril's pale green eyes, and there was an unbearable worry in his eyes.

"This is to fight against La Rochelle and turn the Adler region into a meat grinder, Lord Marquis."

Cyril took a deep breath.

Although Atzke did not know Rowell Oberian, and his understanding of his fighting style was quite limited due to the lack of information, he deduced after reading this confession, and through interviewing Rowell with Cyril Almost exactly the same as what I thought of.

The people of Austria St. Emma are unreasonable.

"Then in your estimation, when will they launch an attack?"

Azike met Cyril's gaze, without dodging or avoiding, and gave the answer the moment the question fell:
"If they already know that the Earth Dragon Army was wiped out by Lord Marquis, then... probably today, the horn of attack will sound."

When he said this, he almost jumped up on the spot: "How many garrisons are there in Rock Fortress? There should be [-] Amathir Nature Guards starting behind me, and they won't arrive until night at least. But I brought a few Earth mages are coming, their speed should be a little slower..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the city gate opened again, and several war horses carrying the mage in robes trotted into the city.

When they saw the earth dragons piled up on the hill, they all exclaimed, and the leader immediately bowed to Cyril when he saw Cyril:

"Master Marquis."

"Mr. Zimmerman." Cyril returned a salute, "and Mr. Haber."

The leaders were Lewis Zimmerman and Amy Harbor, the two professional-level mages of the Green Tower.

"Haha, I heard that Lord Marquis is here, so I rushed over with Amy. I hope we are not late."

"You came just in time." Cyril smiled, "I still have to trouble everyone to expand the castle according to the original scale of Rock Castle. This place is very important to defend Hylia."

"I understand." The old mage Zimmerman nodded, and said to the younger mages behind him, "Go and check it first, and start changing the terrain immediately if there is no problem."

The Green Tower's rich reserves of earth elemental mages are the basis for the design of such an incompletely built castle.

They can quickly expand a solid defensive position, as long as they reserve space in advance in design and make a complete plan, for these earth elemental mages, it is just as simple as pinching a doll.

Amidst a rumbling sound, the ground under everyone's feet was constantly shaking, and sections of the city wall gradually emerged from the far end of the line of sight, becoming the solid wall protecting the Rock Fortress.

If Ao St. Emma decides to attack the Adler area in an all-round way, then Rock Fort will be under tremendous pressure—or as I said before, it is here that decides whether Hylia can get support. Of course, Ao St. Emma can Think about it.

And at the same time.

Two "Brute Bull" class transport ships docked at the beach closest to Rock Fort.
