Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

January 20, 540 New Year.

This seemingly ordinary day is bound to be remembered by history, and it is bound to be imprinted in the hearts of all Idar people.

Because on this day, the Idar army finally walked out of their homeland, and finally embarked on their own journey in the eyes of all the Idar people.

There is no impassioned declaration of war, no need for a long-winded reason for war, and no need to issue tactics or say hello in advance.

What was published in the "Idar Daily" and praised by the Idar people was just the simple words that Bruno said - "to safeguard the interests of the Idar people".

This may sound neat, but it's enough.

"Since the continuous war will never end, and all parties do not have the ability to govern this land... Then the Idar Empire has the responsibility to bring a better future to the world."

"Let the commoners have enough to eat, and the craftsmen have money."

"Let the workers support their families, let the farmers own the land to farm, let the merchants not have to fear, and let spelling and reading no longer be a privilege for the few."

The words and phrases used in "Idar Daily" are not esoteric. This newspaper, which was established under the guidance of Bruno, did not inherit the tactful way of speaking and the infinite loop of red tape of the Norman nobles. (Starting readers click here for details)

Through the "Idar Daily", the purpose of this war was clearly communicated to all Idars - for the benefit of the Idars!

…

Valens Province, Shenmu Fort.

The Shenmu Fort, located in the southwest of the Valens Plain, is not a castle fortress. In fact, it is just an unremarkable agricultural town on the Valens Plain.

This small town originally belonged to the territory of Viscount Massivo. Most of the local civilians lived on farming and depended on the land given by Viscount Massivo to survive, and they had to pay a high tax every year.

However, when this land was incorporated into the territory of the Idar Empire, the rule of Viscount Massivo naturally became history.

The officials from the Valens Administration Hall have already formed a complete set of perfect and meticulous governance strategies in countless days and nights of tempering.

so…

When they first appeared on this land a year ago, the civilian officials of the Council of Ministers skillfully divided the farmland around the town into different plots, and then, according to the laws of the Idar Empire, These lands were lent to civilians living here free of charge.

From full of doubts to the joy and joy after the first harvest, under the rule of the Idar Empire, the commoners living in this small town understood the meaning and hope of life for the first time.

They also gradually realized that it turns out... well-fed and warm clothes is not just an unrealistic luxury, even in the cold winter, they can get out of the house to get a job opportunity, instead of sitting on the mountain like before. .

When the hazy morning light just swayed on the frost-covered land, the rumbling sound of the gears turning woke many residents living in this small town from their sleep.

The well-informed Idar people are no strangers to this kind of sound. Whether it is a steam locomotive or a magic car, these magical creations are no longer a fantasy in the eyes of the Idar people.

Even the Idar people who live in the border areas already know that these are the changes brought by the magic industry to this era.

Only this time, people noticed an unusual aura in these familiar sounds.

Many urban residents curiously opened the latch on the inside of the window and pushed open the wooden window that was tightly closed due to the cold winter wind.

Then…

When the cold morning wind slapped on their sleepy faces...the eyes of these civilians involuntarily stayed on the road not far from the window.

Even after many years, they will be very grateful for the curiosity that morning.

Even though Shenmubao is not a castle fortress, nor does it have a tall and strong city wall, this small town is located on the road leading to the border after all.

therefore,

When the Idar North Army Group stationed on the Valens Plain finally received an order from Idar City, the residents living in this small town saw a picture that they will never forget.

Strictly speaking, the Idar army really cannot be called a steel torrent.

After all, the industrialization of magic has not been fully popularized, and the production capacity of magic vehicles is still insufficient, so... although the cavalry and other arms are no longer the main force, they have not completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

Although in the Idar Empire, food, grass, ammunition and other logistics materials can be transported by steam locomotives, but once the Idar army stepped out of the territory of the empire, due to the limited number of military vehicles, they had to use the help of ox carts and horses.

However, all of this did not affect the shock on the faces of the town residents.

Under the reflection of the dawn, the steel armor covering the entire vehicle looks particularly eye-catching, and the light blue luster of the magic pattern flashing can occasionally be seen at the joints of the steel plates.

The sturdy wheels ran over the gravel on the road, and the cracked stones hit the steel plate at the bottom of the vehicle, mixing the rumble of the engine with a lot of crisp and noisy sounds.

As the military vehicles drove past, the roads that had not yet been fully hardened were engulfed in sand and dust, shrouding the convoys that followed.

As the advance troop of Army Group Idar North, armoured personnel carriers moved across the road at eye-popping speeds.

The jeep military vehicle in charge of guiding the road from time to time made a strong and powerful sound with its horn, and led the armored combat vehicle behind it to the distance.

But it should be known that this is just the tip of the iceberg of the mobilization of Idar's army.

With the order of Idar City, the Idar army was divided into three divisions, from Valens Province to Moore River Province, and then from Moore River Province to Central Province...

For a time, from north to south, the entire Idar frontier was covered with clouds of war, and under the coordination of long-distance communication devices, the entire empire's armies took action one after another.

In the northern battlefield,

The Idar Army Group North, stationed in the province of Valens, moved to the southwest of the Valens Plain, intending to encroach on the Kelvin Basin.

In the central battlefield,

The Idar 1st Armoured Brigade, under the command of the Idar Royal Guard, went west through the Stranglethorn Fortress, and marched westward with the Idar Royal Guard stationed in the Moor Valley.

And in the southern battlefield,

The Idar Southern Army Group, while stabilizing the border defense line and adding border minefields, dispatched a mechanized army to the northwest to penetrate into the Ogure Desert, intending to directly access the hinterland of the church!

Except for the Idar Navy, which cannot directly intervene in the inland battlefield, the Idar Army and the Idar Air Force cooperate with each other. While the Idar Army troops rushed to the designated location for deployment, the Idar Air Force's hot air balloons and airships also patrolled the border areas. cruising.

Especially on the plains of Valens and the long southern border of the Idar Empire!

The hot air balloons affiliated to the Idar Air Force are one after another, and some hot air balloons have even crossed the border for tens of kilometers, completing aerial surveillance of the entire border area.

Even the slightest mobilization of the enemy's troops will be presented to the Idar garrison general as soon as possible.

If the church had a radar, if they could look down from the sky, then they would be horrified to find that the vast land in the eastern part of the continent was full of Idar troops being mobilized!

Active-duty troops went to the border, reserve troops were recalled for training, and even the province of Padilla, which was far away, was affected by this and began to expand its army.

…

Idar City, Alhambra Palace.

According to the laws of the Idar Empire, when the empire faces war, the Idar High Command will be formed by itself, and the Idar Empire Emperor Bruno Stuart will serve as the supreme military commander of the Idar Duchy.

Therefore, after the war order was issued, Bruno came to the Alhambra to sit in person.

He may not know how to adapt on the battlefield, but even if Bruenor just sits here, he can bring unparalleled confidence and strength to the generals of the Empire.

At the same time, for a team to fight this war, the various agencies of the Idar Empire also have a clear division of labor.

In the interior, the Idar CIA was responsible for gathering information and intelligence from the enemy.

The verified information will be gathered in the Idar High Command in the shortest possible time for the chief of staff and senior generals from the Idar Sea, Land and Air Forces to review and refer to.

These strategies and instructions, approved by the Supreme Command and the Idar Emperor Bruno Stuart, will be immediately issued to the commanding generals of all front-line parties, and the front-line generals will adapt to the situation according to the situation.

With the continuous changes in the weapons and equipment of the Idar army, all-round three-dimensional combat has also become a war concept implemented in the Idar army.

In particular, the major results achieved by the air raid on Bethlehem also made many Idar generals more deeply aware of the improvement of combat effectiveness that the cooperation of different services can bring.

"The southern part of the empire is peaceful for the time being. According to the information from the intelligence personnel, the vast majority of the troops of the Principality of Sidon have been mobilized to the north. Although there are many Sidon troops stationed on the border, most of them are temporarily recruited militiamen. If we really fight, I'm afraid it will be scattered in a hurry, and it is not our opponent at all."

one side of the conference table,

CIA Director Krell pulled out a piece of intelligence that had just been delivered to Idar City from his own folder.

"It's hard to fight, but the central battlefield is the most critical place."

"The Sidon army stationed on the border is weak, but the Idar South Army Group is the weaker of the three major armies of the empire. If the front line is stretched too long, it may affect the local situation." Sarah Column Without hesitation, he said: "And... the elites from the south have already entered the Ogure Desert, and they can't make changes easily."

Hearing this, the staff and generals present nodded in approval.

Although the Idar army is going all out in this all-out war, the Idar North Army Group has to divide its forces to prevent sneak attacks from the Odin Empire, while the South Army Group has just been established, and it is divided into elites and in-depth. After the desert, garrisoning the long border is already beyond the capacity.

Therefore, the central battlefield with the Idar 1st Armored Brigade and the Idar Royal Guards as the main force is the key to this war.

after all…

After the Idar army left the Moor Valley, it only needed to penetrate the flat central Great Plain, and the Idar troops could threaten Bethlehem to the south and St. Lawrence to the north, thus forming a trend of dividing the battlefield. Give the Idars an advantageous position in the war.

And this strategy has also been unanimously approved by the Idar High Command.

"What's the reaction from the Church of Light?"

After a while, Bruno's words broke the calm in the conference room.

"The terrain in the central plain is open, and there are not many places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. At present, the Church of Light has almost got our news. The main force of the Crusaders stationed on the eastern front is gathering towards Boulder City."

As he spoke, Krell planted a light yellow flag symbolizing the Church of Light on a city near the junction of the Central Plains and the Moor Valley.

"Boulder City?"

As Krel's voice fell, Bruno couldn't help but cast his slightly solemn gaze, UU reading www.uukanshu. com focused on the bunting that had just been erected on the sand table by Krel.

This move of the Church of Light did not exceed everyone's expectations.

Because when the eastern part of the continent was not yet conquered by the Norman Empire, the giant stone city on the west side of the Moor Valley was the gateway to the Norman Empire.

If the Boulder City is breached, then the central Great Plains will be safe, so the Church of Light naturally cannot give up easily.

Aside, Sarah Curran couldn't help frowning slightly, and confirmed again and again: "Is the news accurate?"

As a former Norman general, Sarah Curran is really familiar with the name of Boulder City.

Or in other words, most of the eastern nobles and Norman generals have heard more or less about the history of Stone City.

Back then, in order to build this fortified city, the former Norman Empire spent a lot of money and piled up a lot of stone.

"The accuracy of the information jointly confirmed by the CIA's intelligence personnel and the Idar Air Force scouts." Krell immediately gave a positive answer.

"No matter how many troops the Crusaders have assembled in Boulder City, we will fight! And we will fight hard!"
