Pioneering

After more than two months of fighting, the expeditionary force led by Lyon had made little progress and was still firmly stuck on the south bank of the Knock defense line. How could he not be anxious?
The ultra-long-distance logistics and the difficult-to-advance war put great psychological pressure on the newly ascended Emperor Fritz of Lyon.

Especially when he heard that the progress of his teammate Hero Empire was not going well, and that his big brother in China still didn't show up, he became even more anxious.

If Eddie doesn't rebel, the psychological pressure will be much greater than if he rebels against Lyon.

When fishing, waiting is the most frustrating thing.

Leon would rather his eldest brother Eddie had overturned the table earlier and colluded with a large number of nobles to light the fire, so that he could swing his sword to Tutu in a logical manner and blow up all the old guys who were in the way before!

I'm so bored!
After laboring on an expedition and gaining nothing internally or externally, one can imagine how much trouble Lyon will have if he holds power in the future.

There is even the possibility of "not being defeated on the battlefield, but being defeated in the court".

This is unacceptable to His Majesty Leon, who has experienced many battles since he was a child.

This line of defense is really frustrating!
Directly to the south, 40 knights from the Fritz Empire attacked violently, and the famous Arthur from the southwest was also blocked by Zhong Ming.

According to Lyon's understanding of military affairs, in any war of aggression, there is no quick victory. If the stalemate continues, the possibility of failure is extremely high.

He, who had just taken over, could not tolerate a disastrous defeat!
So his adventurous spirit came back to him.

If you can't wear it, then go around it.

He, Leon, didn't believe that the people of Asshai were all mud monsters who became spirits, and they built this kind of defense line all over the border of Asshai in one year!
Besides, it's not like Yaxia just conquered many large and small countries in the northern continent a few months ago. At this time, even the political affairs officers sent can't handle the situation. How can they expect to repair the defense line?
Once my army arrives, as long as these old nobles promise some conditions for national restoration and independence, they will probably lead the way for me!
As for the logistics of going deep behind enemy lines, haha, the worst case scenario is to requisition food on the spot.

The more Leon thought about it, the more feasible it became.

It can only be said that talents who have achieved military success have more or less potential adventurous spirit in their bones.Once you've tasted the benefits of being aggressive once, it's hard not to do it again.

And Leon has undoubtedly gone through extreme adventures, seized the throne that belonged to his elder brother, harvested the territory of an entire empire, and greedily tasted the sweetness of adventure and success.

So, he was moved.

The one who is suitable for breaking into the enemy's rear must be his most powerful Bear Knights. In case of heavy losses, this is his basic base.

No, we have to bring allies together to hedge the losses.

Just do what you say, and Leon quickly found Arthur's army coming towards him.

The divided troops attacked, but except for a disappointing encounter at the Knock defense line, they did not achieve the expected results at all.

Therefore, the coalition forces quickly adjusted their strategy, preparing to merge into one place and concentrate their efforts to break through the weaker defense line in Lyon's main attack direction.

This is one of the few advantages that the offensive side has.

The offensive side can concentrate its forces at will to choose a breakthrough point, while the defensive side, based on the principle of weak defense, cannot have obvious loopholes in any of them, and its forces must be dispersed.

After hearing Leon's adventure plan, Arthur felt that he had heard it wrong for a while. After repeatedly confirming that Leon was not joking, he realized that he was old. Young people today are really...

"Are you really kidding?" Arthur asked.

"No."

"You really didn't mean to joke with me?" Arthur confirmed again.

"No."

"Are you really..." Arthur still had doubts.

"No, no, no! I'm serious. I just want to penetrate behind enemy lines and defeat those Yasha people hiding in turtle shells in one fell swoop."

Arthur touched his chin: "How are you going to solve the problem of cavalry horsepower?"

"The durability of my giant bear knight is much stronger than that of a war horse, and its recovery speed is not comparable to that of a war horse. As long as there is enough food, it is not difficult to travel long distances." Leon explained.

Arthur said: "What about food? Even if all the space equipment of our two countries is given to you, can it be eaten by you, a hundred thousand giant bear knights? You are not going to set up a teleportation array in Yaxia, are you?"

"The current wizards in our country are not able to set up such a long-distance teleportation array. Our ancestors' witch hunts back then were still too much. However, I don't plan to use the teleportation array. I just want to kill them all the way.

It is impossible for Yaxia to really clear the entire territory, otherwise they will collapse before the battle is over.

The giant bear's load-bearing capacity is pretty good, so I'll use it sparingly, and I can let the Asshai people take care of it after a while. "Lyon calmly said the looting in another way.

"I have never heard of such a bold gang-hopping tactic. If you are discovered, you can..."

"Then kill everyone who sees me, and I won't be noticed." Leon said calmly, "When I reach the hinterland, there will be no need to lurk."

clap~
Arthur applauded: "What a courage, what a young hero, what a warrior! Last question, do you just believe in me?
If I had any thoughts, you and your core family would be ruined here. "

As he spoke, a smile flashed across Arthur's lips, and he looked directly at the young man in front of him.

"If Lord Arthur abandons his only son and the [-] Terrain Dragon Troops, he can indeed bury me and the [-] Dire Bear Knights in this northern continent, but what good will this do to you?

I still have [-] new Bear Knights in the country. Even if I die, my restless brother Eddie will still be there, and the Eight Kingdoms will not allow you to annex Fritz. "

Leon paused and said, "Besides, you are a true king. A king would not do such a despicable thing, at least he would not use such despicable means to betray his allies. It's too ugly to look at."

"Okay, okay!" Arthur's face looked a little melancholy, "You should be like this when giving birth! If my incompetent Red can be half as capable as you, I won't have to occupy a position despite my age. Don’t let go, alas~”

"That's an exaggeration. You are only over 200 years old. A demigod who is over 200 years old is probably younger than me in terms of lifespan, right?" Leon smiled slightly, "So, you agreed to take such a gamble with me?"

"Haha, you said I'm young, how can I not show some spirit that a young man should have?" Arthur stood up and dusted his sleeves, "I will let Lance lead the Earth Dragon Army to set off with you."

"Don't let me down, young man!"

"If you succeed, you will leave a mark in the history of mainland wars."

Leon said goodbye with a flash of madness in his excited eyes: "I'm looking forward to it."

After Leon left Arthur's military camp, Arthur took out a letter, read it carefully and said to himself:
“Today’s young people are really more careless than the last.

One is like me and built a huge empire from scratch, and the other is a military genius who has never been born before.

How can my poor Lance compare to you?If only you were all dead. "

The letter, which was wrinkled from repeated reading, was stamped with a bell-shaped stamp and read:

【Dear Arthur Lin Vieri,

It has been a long time since I last saw His Majesty Arthur's brilliance and prowess. Now we have a fight, and it turns out to be true.

Although you are a tiger, I am also a dragon.

The dragon and tiger fight each other, the joy is endless, joy, joy!
If you win, can you get an inch of land for yourself?

I'm afraid your allies will benefit more.

Lyon is like a wolf and an eagle, and he is very scheming and should not be trusted.Even though he is poor, he is better than his elder brother, and he is as powerful as a tiger.You even poisoned your father to seize the throne, and sent your own father to be your hostage, which shows that he is by no means a loyal and reliable person.

Such actions, even if you give him your only son as a hostage, do you really feel that the alliance between the two is unbreakable?
You care about your children, but does he really care about his father?
In my spare time, I took a closer look at the power map of the Central Continent. Even if I gained the Northern Continent, it would be difficult for me to threaten the Hero Empire, and the Fritz Empire is Hero's old rival.

Your lips and teeth depend on each other, and your teeth are intertwined. There are many blood feuds between you two.

And because your two countries are constrained by each other, it is difficult for you to have the opportunity to annex the Eight Kingdoms.

Now you go thousands of miles away for something vague, risking your life's glory and the lives of hundreds of thousands of loyal and brave knights to establish military merit for a young and ambitious new neighbor who is good at fighting?
This is something I can't understand.

On the other hand, if you look for an opportunity to bury these 10 people in the Northern Continent, Fritz's country will definitely be in chaos, and it is possible to conquer Fritz.

At the worst, you can take advantage of the chaos in the country to take a few bites, and you can also try to annex the territory of the Eight Kingdoms, which will actually benefit a lot.

The balance of power is broken and the general trend is achieved!
There will be a day when you can unify the Central Continent.

Which one is more important, Sir Arthur, please weigh it yourself.

As long as your Excellency is alive, I will feel uneasy.
Ming.Zhong]

"I feel uneasy if you don't die. If you don't die, I don't feel at ease..." Arthur chewed this sentence over and over in his mouth, "Interesting, really interesting..."

"It's a pity, one is too good at fighting, and the army under the other is too good at fighting..." Arthur felt for the invisible sword in his hand and said with emotion.

"How nice it would be for me, Lance, if you all died..."

……

"Two old wall lamps, if you both died, how nice it would be for me Daya Xia!" Zhong Ming said with emotion.

The recent battle is really not easy. The two groups of Yunqi Corps are both extremely powerful. Qing Yishui's same kind of monster is equipped with a senior trainee knight, and the officer Yishui is a formal knight or above.

This is really true. Zhong Ming did not expect that these empires would shout and kill the monsters openly, saying that they were not of the same kind. As soon as they got the training methods of the Yunqi Corps, they would quickly pull out a group of monsters and train them for them. Soldiers provide a greater spirit.

Zhong Ming would never believe it if he said that this was not a planned artificial breeding behavior.

It’s really good to hide!

"Fortunately, there are many kinds of magical beasts in the Jueling Mountains, but they are a bit too wild, so they are barely usable." Zhong Ming thought of the more than 40 various horse-type monsters he had collected from the Jueling Mountains, and there was inevitably a hint of jealousy in his words. Feelings.

Compared with the enemy cloud army, which has the Rock Storm Giant Bear as its mount and the Thunder Fang Earth Dragon as its mount, the various horse-type monsters that the Yaxia warriors put on looked a little lacking in momentum and a bit "no-name" and inferior. feel.

"It doesn't matter, they have Warcraft, and I also have magic armored vehicles, which are no more majestic than them." Zhong Ming comforted himself.

The speed of a top-notch warhorse with Warcraft bloodline can rival that of a Blue Star limited edition supercar, but compared with some Warcraft that are good at running, it is still a little behind.

One of the sub-species of earth dragons, the Thunder Fang Earth Dragon, normally becomes a level three monster when it reaches adulthood. It can reach Mach [-] to Mach [-] (twice the speed of sound) in a short burst.

The Rockstorm Giant Bear is a level three monster when it is a normal adult. It is famous for its rough skin, thick flesh and endurance. It can only reach Mach 0.5 in a short burst, but its combat endurance is much stronger than that of the Thunder Fang Earth Dragon, and its defense is not as good as the Thunder Fang Earth Dragon. Comparable to dragons.

Because the environmental parameters of the world are different, and under the combined effects of factors such as gravity, atmospheric pressure, and magic energy particles in the material world, the speed of sound is slightly slower than that of Blue Star, about 300m/s.

The current third-generation armored vehicles with magic energy-driven engines are far slower than these Warcraft mounts. The load is too heavy, and they are weaker than the burst of top war horses, but they are better because they can run with magic stones and have both firepower output. and defense, as well as the ability to transport large quantities.

However, the Giant Bear Cloud Knights formed by Lyon and the Earthly Dragon Cloud Knights formed by Arthur obviously do not have the aura to reach the level of third-level Warcraft per capita. Both of them are a bit weak among the first-level Warcraft. The level of shame should be that it is a mass-produced product that has been matured by unknown means.

But this is not necessarily a bad thing. It is difficult for a monster mount that is too powerful to succumb to humans.

These mass-produced products are covered in heavy armor and a knight's heavy armor. These are high-density armors specially mixed with special metals, specially designed to be bulletproof. They also have lances, spear guns, several throwing spears, and enchantments. The rifle, some ammunition, and other loads must weigh two to three thousand catties.

With these things on their backs, their speed is still astonishing, comparable to top-notch war horses without any weight on their shoulders.

Of course, the equine monsters that Zhong Ming selected were treated as a contract transfer station, all of which were forcibly enslaved and then assigned to warriors for use. Although they were unruly and difficult to control, and their tacit understanding was also an issue, their strength was not there. It is said that generally the first and second level Warcraft that have grown up are the standard equipment for warriors, and the third and fourth level Warcraft mounts are distributed to officers of all levels.

At the beginning, these horse-type monsters actually cost more than 100 million in the entire Jueling Mountains. However, the intelligence of the middle and low-level monsters is still not as good as that of the high-level monsters. I don’t know what “a man who knows the current affairs is a hero”, and most of them would rather die than surrender. Distribution Feeling insulted by being used as a mount for a warrior who was weaker than him, he went on a hunger strike and died half of the time.

Those who survived were docile and easy to tame.

The ownership of these Warcraft mounts belongs to Zhong Ming. If a warrior wants to take the Warcraft home, he must exchange his military exploits for the contract rights of the Warcraft.

Zhong Ming also fought against Arthur. He fought without authority and divine power, but was banned by the gods of the star world.

As Zhong Ming, who is close to the limit of this world in all aspects, he almost killed Arthur, who was just high-spirited after being promoted to demigod, in a duel. Fortunately, he had a powerful artifact sword and scabbard, plus The Shangdi Xinglong Knights rescued him quickly, allowing him to escape from Zhong Ming's hands intact.

In an extraordinary world that advocates personal force, it is very logical for the two armies to confront each other and develop a fighting culture.

It's a pity that Emperor Arthur is not a real knight who regards glory as his life. Faced with the crisis of life and death, he still chooses to follow his heart and let his men swarm him.

This wave of failures seriously depressed the old man's spirit. It was also through the deterrence of his personal force that Zhong Mingcai relied on the barrier cluster in the southwest, using 8 people to carry Arthur's 40 people, and there were also [-] Yunqi Legions inside to attack. Two months.

Zhong Ming muttered: "I don't know how Arthur should choose, between chivalry and interests."

"Calculating the time, Leon's patience is about to run out, and it's time to make a long-distance attack and attack my rear."

"It's almost, it's almost..." (End of chapter)
