Pioneering

Chapter 280 Offensive and Defensive Changes and Rebellion 【Two in One】

Terry, County Dorn.

This place is in the northwest of Dorne, only ten days away from the border of Winklell.

It was originally the territory of the Fumart family, but now it is the temporary station of the Winkrel Expeditionary Force led by Thrun.

The situation is changing, and the offense and defense are changing.

Not long ago, it was Winkrell who was showing off his power and dominating the territory of Magzek, and even went to war on the charge of "unnecessary" crimes, intending to annex Magzek.

Now, it was the Majek people who should have trembled and their families were ruined, but instead hunted down the Winkrel people.

It can only be said that the way of heaven is reincarnated.

At this time, in order to defend against John's guerrilla tactics, Thrun found Trey City, a strong city in the northwest of Majek. Relying on the strength of the city wall and the elite soldiers, it was able to block John's dog-skin-like "lancers".

And John has few people, but only more than ten thousand cavalry, how can he storm the fortified city.

He was not in a hurry, he had already prepared to surround Trey City, cut off the food road for the expeditionary army, polluted the water source in the city, and looked like he had trapped the enemy army to death for a long time.

Trey City was originally built as an important node of the second line of defense against Winkrell. The city has abundant food and materials, strong walls, and well-maintained defensive circles.

Even if water and food were cut off, the food reserves and wells in the city were enough for the more than [-] expeditionary forces to chew grain for half a year.

Ange rushed to Melco as agreed, and after leaving behind a small number of people to maintain order, he hurriedly followed the intelligence leader to meet John under the city of Trey.

For a time, 20 vs. [-], the situation was reversed, and Yaxia had the advantage!

But the situation still inevitably stalemate.

Although the Asshai army at that time had been completely reborn, with the blessing of equipment, the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers was no less than that of intermediate trainee knights and muscle-training warriors. rich.

But... this artifact is really unreasonable!
No matter how powerful the magic cannon and enchanted firearms are, the weather factor must also be considered. The power of yellow explosives is also worrying in the rainy weather, and the power of pure attribute energy is a waste of ammunition.

Winkrell's blue-clothed archbishop, Heller, saw Asshai's magic cannon, so he directly used the power of the trident scepter to cast a large-scale precipitation.

The torrential rain is a proper benign buff for the expeditionary army who mainly practice the water breathing method and the priests who practice the sea god sequence path, but it is a fatal debuff for Asshai who relies on the power of firearms.

Therefore, even if they had the upper hand in terms of numbers and strength, it would be extremely difficult for Asshai's Warrior Legion to take down this fortified city.

A strong attack is absolutely impossible, without the firepower blessing, but the individual combat effectiveness of warriors who have practiced martial arts for three or four years is far inferior to the opponents of expeditionary knights who have been prepared for knight training from the womb.

If you hold the stance that you must die and live, and attack at all costs, it is not hopeless to capture this city, but the casualties are... Yasha, whose foundation is still weak, cannot afford it.

And without his strength, Dalilu, the Grand Duke of Majek, who would nod and bow to John, would not be so easy to talk to.

Who wants such an army of Yashai to linger in their own country for a long time, especially the Magzeks who have just experienced Winkrel's betrayal and surprise attack are even more sensitive.This is not something that Dalilu can decide whether he is willing or not.

Under the aristocratic feudal system, the feudal nobles are very different from the feudal system of the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom. The nobles who have military power, financial power, and personnel power are shareholders of the human kingdom, not miserable wage earners.

If the human kingdom is compared to a company, the monarch can be regarded as the largest shareholder, chairman and CEO, and the big nobles below can be regarded as major shareholders, and these major shareholders control finance, diplomacy, industry and commerce, agriculture, etc. The real power sector has a lot of voice, and the small and medium-sized nobles are small shareholders who can earn dividends every year.

In some countries, where there are positions such as internal minister and prime minister, the position of CEO is differentiated from the monarch. A strong CEO can even take over the chairman of the board, while a weak CEO is a rubber stamp.

Although the chairman has the largest shareholding, it is not impossible for a group of nobles, big and small, to unite and suppress the royal power.The premise is that there are "excellent" power ministers to integrate most of the nobles.

Some countries simply do not have the habit of setting up internal ministers or prime ministers.

Therefore, whether what the monarch says is effective or not has a wave-particle duality, it depends on the result of the compromise of the interests of all parties, and it depends on the individual ability of the monarch.

Having lost a considerable number of family members, the nobles of Magzhek's family, whose strength has been greatly weakened, are now extremely sensitive and entangled.

Sensitive to being afraid of Ya Xia, he doesn't talk about martial arts and learns from Winkleur to punish himself. After all, the two sides were on the enemy's side at the beginning, and now it's just a temporary verbal covenant, and they haven't even negotiated a decent ceremony or document.

The entanglement also lies in the lack of Yasha's support. Don't look at the fact that Winkrell has been beaten so badly that he seems vulnerable. With the foundation of the Principality of Magzek alone, the possibility of being pushed back and killed is very high.

The Magzeks knew very well that Winkrell, his old neighbor, was far from being able to deal with it alone.

Therefore, the longer the matter dragged on, it would not only be unfavorable to the expeditionary army with less and less supplies, but also unfavorable to the Asshai army, which was attacked on many sides and located in different places, and it was prone to accidents.

John's ultra-long pursuit led to an extremely long supply line, and half of the supplies needed to be transported or borne by the Magzeks. The risks were self-evident.

Therefore, the consumption of the siege plan seems to be a good strategy, with small losses, high benefits, and low risk. Just sit and wait for the enemies in the city to run out of ammunition and food.In fact, it is full of loopholes.

Not to mention anything else, the [-] cavalier coalition forces of the Principality of Dimen and the Principality of Wiserd have already crossed the border between Assia and Wiserd and started to invade the western territory of Assia.

Of course, the actual strength of the two countries is by no means [-], and perhaps all of them will be able to reach or even exceed this number through full mobilization.But now that the famine is spreading, no one has any surplus food, and the army is the first-class food-consuming household.

However, there must be [-] to [-] knights if there are no [-]. If they come for the purpose of robbery, they can always recruit many activists.

In addition, this "proclaimed" vice does not exist in the mainland, and the bluffing trick is not so obvious and shameless that everyone has not used it.

It is a unique product brought by a certain Blue Star traveler who dared to claim 30 when sending 20 troops, [-] when [-], [-] when [-], [-] when [-], and one million when [-].

Not to mention, it's really bluffing, the name of a million soldiers, forcibly helping Yaxia's strength in the face of the war is not good, and there is a reason why a small group of younger brothers follow.

Everyone, take a look, good guy, you brat has been blowing like this, and you can still get a lot of benefits from blowing it, so why can't you blow it up?
So... the bottom line of the nobles of the Northern Continent successfully broke through again.

These [-] to [-] knights were not the defenders arranged in the western region of Assia, and the new nobles could resist them together, and they were beaten back and forth.

It is even about to hit the territory of some new nobles in the Asshai Warrior Legion, such as Rene and Dipper.

The two were furious.

Rui Nai invested most of the family's assets in the development of the territory. This year, she just realized a positive return. There is hope for her. How can she not be in a hurry?
Dipper was even worse. Not only did he borrow the money from the Yasha National Bank, and put on the dowry brought by Rene's sister, but he even didn't buy the insurance business pushed by the Yasha National Bank because of his debts. Can't afford it.

At this time, Di Pu, who has a family, a mouth, and a child soon, is no longer a prodigal who feeds the whole family by himself, but also wants to leave something for future generations. Many concerns and burdens.

There are not a few new military nobles who are more anxious than Di Pu, buzzing around John every day to ask for a battle, which makes John very annoying.

'Are you concerned about the country and the people?I'm ashamed to tear you apart. '

With the great prestige of being invincible all the way, defeating the strong with the weak, and even playing a shocking reversal, John forcibly suppressed these impetuous voices for fighting, but he also understood that a long battle is by no means a good thing, and a quick battle is needed.

However, the time is not as tight as the challengers in front of them said.

Because... there is a forgotten country, and it hasn't been done yet!

The Principality of Estonia has been fishing for a long time.Aisha also quite enjoys the feeling of being out of the way, far away from the war, and the comfort of fishing in troubled waters.

Of course, it would be even better if he could continue to be a rice bug and enjoy the economic support of the coalition forces.

Before the war, the position of the Ice and Snow Goddess had exposed Estonia's problems, and Aisha's good days were coming to an end.

Most of the follower suitors that I could still see in the past suddenly disappeared.

And Will was the first to receive a warning from the sea god before the battle - the anti-bone boy plus one.

Other gods... Alor, the god of light, was very lazy and didn't communicate with his followers.

The Goddess Silver Moon was so busy with the believers who were waiting to be fed, that she didn't even throw a single artifact to the Principality of Dimen—she, whose power is mainly located in the western continent, really has no time to pay attention to whether a principality's faith is lost or not. Here Many kingdoms are lining up to pray to the gods to solve the famine.

If she didn't still have thoughts about these 9000 million believers, she wouldn't even be willing to stand in line with Sea God Siri, a loathsome scumbag.

The sea god's reputation among the female gods is too bad, after all, the superior is stepping on Hefnall, a quasi-lover, to become a god.

The main two parties who are fighting fiercely are Sea God and Zhong Ming. Their interests are related, and even related to the birth of a Northern Continent hegemon and even the birth of a unified force. The conflict of interests is the most intense.

The Northern Continent with this momentum is the old powerhouse Winkrel and the new powerhouse Yaxia.

Others... It is too much to say that rotten fish and rotten shrimps are too much, but it is appropriate to say that there are dead bones in the tomb.

Therefore, only Will knows that Estonia is Yasha Anzi, the fake teammate who pokes his waist at any time and the real enemy.

In order to retaliate against this Estonian bastard who eats, drinks, and beats himself, Will originally planned to use his tricks, let alone rumors.

As a result, Will died in Parlor's backstab with a kidney shot before he had time to show the superb strategy of "doing the trick".

So this news basically disappeared in the coalition forces.

Originally, Estonia hadn't slowed down yet, and the goddess of ice and snow in the backstage of the gods on the bright side was transferred to Zhong Ming, and it was not convenient for Zhong Ming to help directly.

The script that Zhong Ming arranged for Estonia was not at all a bad way of backstabbing to cut off the allies' logistics, because it couldn't be hidden.

He didn't expect Estonia to be the straw that determines the success or failure at all, so he just wanted to delay time and harass the coalition forces.

Countries are now using most of their skills to fight the war, not to mention mobilizing all their nests, and the country is extremely empty.

Now that Estonia is going to sneak attack, it is simply a brawny man facing a little girl without clothes.

Aisha is also quite satisfied with the task assigned by Zhong Ming, with low difficulty and high rewards.

Therefore, Winkrel was the first to suffer. When the expeditionary force was sluggish, their hometown was not idle.

Anna, who is leading the army to grab the top, seems to have awakened some strange hobby...

Therefore, when Aisha received the order to transfer to another hand, it was doomed that the Principality of Dimen would be in trouble.

Wized, which is not connected to the sea on all sides, is fine. The Duchy of Dimen, the westernmost part of the Northern Continent, has a very long coastline...

Western Asshai, the front line.

"What, what did you say?" The leader of the Dimen Duchy, General Laid Mosang, stood up in shock, full of doubts about the news of the orderly in front of him.

A few days ago, it was full of Estonia's attack on the eastern coast of Assia, and the news was raging, and it was still word of mouth from Assia.

How come, after a few days of not seeing each other, it turned out that my family was beaten by Estonia?

Isn't this too insignificant?My family's friendship and assistance for so many years, and the eldest prince's and second prince's love for Elsa's dog for many years, unexpectedly got a violent beating?
"Brother Gide, I..." Ryder found the leading marshal of the Principality of Wized, and muttered hesitantly, embarrassed to speak.

As an old-school aristocrat who has always regarded himself as a conservative pioneer and preached the virtues of chivalry to everyone, he always criticizes young aristocrats for not having aristocratic spirit.

At this time, to do this practice of abandoning allies, destroying the character design would be embarrassing!
Especially for the sake of getting along fairly well with this great nobleman named Gide.

"Brother Ryder, what's the matter? If I can help, I will never refuse."

Jide's words made him even more ashamed to speak, but he had to say: "Sorry, brother Jide, in Dimen... I have to lead the army back to the country, so I can only say goodbye to you first.

God damn Estonia, the white-eyed wolf that can't be fed, it's just, it's just..."

Ryder bowed and apologized as he spoke, and greeted Aisha and her country with a few pitiful swear words.

Gide was also extremely shocked by Estonia's betrayal, and was caught off guard by his ally's sudden departure, but in the end he had no choice but to accept it.

No way, you can't stop others from saving your hometown, right?Besides, it's not easy to stop, I can't stop it.

In this way, the defenders in the west of Assia, who had lost half of the enemy, could be regarded as relying on sharp firearms and city defenses, and gradually stabilized the front line, so that they would not be beaten and run away.

And John in Trey City was also keenly aware of the chance of victory.
