Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 498: Westward! The Battle of Boulder City! (continued)

The central Great Plain, outside the boulder city.

The winter in the 540th year of the new calendar seemed to be particularly cold. Even with the barriers of mountains, the temperature in the central Great Plains was still exceptionally cold.

Although this kind of weather was nothing to the well-organized Idar army, since they stepped out of the Moor Valley, what the soldiers saw and heard completely changed their appearance.

Compared with the stability and prosperity of the Idar Empire, the lands west of the Moor River Province have not yet healed the ravages of war.

The barren farmland is full of withered weeds, and the dry and cracked land seems to be telling the hesitation of the past to the Idar army passing through here.

Under the rule of the Church of Light, the civilians living in this land are still impoverished, and the fact that a large number of civilians are fleeing eastward has also slowed down the church's reconstruction work on this land.

Along the way, the soldiers from the Idar Empire saw countless towns and markets that had long been abandoned, and saw the stiff corpses on the side of the road.

Those corpses not only had blue faces and stiff limbs, but many of the corpses had clothes that had long been ripped off by the hungry refugees. words to describe.

It was the tragic scenes in front of the Idar soldiers that strengthened their innermost beliefs and aroused the attachment in their hearts.

If there is no Stuart family, if there is no Imperial Emperor Bruno Stuart, the eastern part of the continent at this time... I am afraid that it would have become like this under the ravages of war?

The long-term peace of the Idar Empire has caused many Idar people to subconsciously ignore the hardships they once suffered, and bury that painful experience deep in their hearts.

But……

The current situation in front of them once again touched the softest part of the Idar soldiers' hearts, making them soberly aware of their responsibilities and missions.

Standing behind them is His Majesty Emperor Idar who led them out of the quagmire of war, their families and friends, and millions of Idar people who are united!

Without Bruno's leadership and the popularization of magic guide industrialization, the eastern part of the continent would have become a purgatory on earth when Odin's iron cavalry went south.

Therefore, what they want to defend is not only the glory of the Idar Empire, but also the vision and hope of countless Idar people and their future!

Several kilometers away from Boulder City, Lieutenant General Sam Layton, commander of the Idar Army and commander of the central battlefield, was holding a telescope, looking solemnly at the fortified city not far away.

The order from Idar City had already been transmitted to the battle-hardened general through a remote communication device.

And this time,

Looking at the flags fluttering in the Stone City, and the Crusader soldiers standing at the head of the city one after another, Sam Leighton's heart was full of emotion.

Since Bruno took power, he has fought many battles for Idar.

From the battle of the Grand Highlands to the friction with the Odin Empire, from the Conquest of Basel to the current battle of Boulder, the veteran can be seen in almost every war since the founding of Idar. figure.

But for him, every war is changing dramatically.

The changes here are not changes in the strength of the enemy, but changes in the weapons and equipment of the Idar army, as well as in strategy and tactics.

During this period of time, the changes in the Idar Empire were too fast and too many, especially the changes that occurred in the Idar army!

From the first daggers and daggers, to a steel sword with a cold light and a sharp-edged handle; from the Idar cavalry galloping in the Grand Highlands, to a steel-covered, magic-driven armored chariot.

The tactics of Idar's army are changing at a speed that is incomprehensible to ordinary people. To be honest, even Sam Layton, who was a witness, was stunned by this.

There is only one explanation he can find, that is, the object of his allegiance, the Idar Emperor Bruno Stuart, is the son of destiny of this era, the creator of history and future!

Only in this way can Sam Layton explain the changes that have taken place in the Idar Empire in this short period of time.

In Sam Layton's view, since His Majesty the Emperor to whom he is loyal has led the way, his followers, including himself, must accept the changes of the times with a new attitude.

In the days and nights before the war broke out,

Not only the lieutenant general of the army Sam Leighton, but also the generals at all levels in the Idar army, almost all studied tactics and tactics in the Idar Military Academy.

They worked tirelessly to train new recruits, experimenting with new weapons and equipment and conducting military exercises one after another in an effort to create a more combat-ready Idar army.

The Idar 1st Armored Division and the Idar Royal Guards led by Sam Leighton, who have now arrived outside the Stone City, are the undisputed leaders of the Idar army!

From the "Explorer" A-type light armored infantry vehicle to the "Dawn Sword" main battle tank with sufficient firepower, this Idar army, commanded by Sam Leighton himself, has almost all been replaced by the Idar Empire's The latest models of weapons and equipment.

so……

Conquer Boulder City!

For Sam Leighton, this is not only an order given by Bruno himself, but also an answer that he and the Idar soldiers he leads must hand over to all the Idars!

"Report!"

As a full-fledged shout came to Sam Leighton's ears, Major General Grant Doyle, the commander of the Idar Royal Guard, trotted all the way to Sam Leighton's side.

Although this young general also has a high rank, it is clear that at this moment, Lieutenant General Sam Leighton is the highest military commander in charge of the central battlefield.

"Say."

"Lieutenant General of the report, in order to coordinate and command the front-line battle, Deputy Director of the Idar Central Intelligence Agency, Baumirier Braun, has already transferred all the contact coordinates of the Idar agents who are located in the Stone City to us. At the beginning of the war After that, the agents will directly send us messages from the city, and you can also directly command the Idar agents located in the city."

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

Hearing this, Sam Leighton nodded solemnly.

The importance of this war to the Idar Empire, and to the hearts of all Idar people, he knew all too well.

"Is the Air Force in place?"

"Lieutenant General Rolf Hawthorne of the Air Force has allocated a total of two hot air balloon formations for us, and the magic spar bombs for bombing have also been loaded, but..." Major General Grant Doyle hesitated for a moment, then Shen Sheng replied: "...But our army's siege methods are no longer a secret, especially after the air raid on Bethlehem, the Crusaders have long been prepared for this, and they have also temporarily built a lot of fortifications in the city. "

"Prevention? Let's see if the Crusader's city walls are hard, or whether the Idar's artillery is more lethal! Give you twenty minutes, I want you to arrange all the self-propelled artillery and magic-guided artillery in the designated positions!"

As he spoke, Sam Layton raised his wrist, and a military watch with exquisite workmanship and wrapped with special materials suddenly appeared in front of him.

It is true that the magic industry of the Idar people cannot be refined to the difference of milliseconds, but as long as it is debugged, at least within one week, the rotation of the pointer will not have too much error.

"Understood!" Major General Grant Doyle replied quite seriously.

...

Boulder City.

As a "war hero" who captured the imperial capital of St. Lawrence and set fire to the Norman Palace, Calavi Wendell, the commander of the Crusaders with outstanding merits, was placed in high hopes by the Church of Light, and of course he shouldered the heavy burden of defending the Stone City.

only……

At this moment, in the depths of Callaway Wendell's heart, it was actually not as calm as he seemed.

The Idar Empire has the Idar Central Intelligence Agency as the eyes to penetrate the enemy's rear, and the Church of Light, which has been rooted in the mainland for many years, cannot be blind or deaf.

Especially with the expansion of the territory of the Idar Empire and the increase of the population, the caravan travel within the empire has continued to increase. If you want to ensure that there are no spies from the Church of Light within the territory, it is almost impossible.

Therefore, Calavi Wendell, the distinguished Crusader Corps commander, has naturally heard about the weapons and equipment of the Idars.

Especially after the air attack on the holy city of Bethlehem, he immediately ordered to gather the Crusader soldiers originally scattered on the front line of the Moor Valley, and requested military support from the holy city of Bethlehem.

But even so, the speed of action of Idar's army has completely exceeded Calavi Wendell's expectations. Almost as soon as the front foot sent the letter requesting support, the disciplined Idar 1st Armored Brigade had already arrived at the boulder. outskirts of the city.

Then……

The regiment commander was a little dumbfounded.

Callaway Wendell has indeed experienced several wars, and personally commanded the siege battle to conquer the imperial capital of St. Lawrence. He has quite a lot of experience in siege and defense.

But the problem is... that's all siege and defense in conventional warfare!

But what about the Idar troops outside the city?

In addition to armored infantry vehicles, self-propelled artillery, heavy tanks, these ground weapons that Callaway Wendell didn't know what to call them, he even saw a hot air balloon slowly rising in the sky...

The daunting cold light reflected on the hard armored steel plate, and the dark barrels made people want to leave the city wall.

For Callaway Wendell, those previous experiences and strategies seemed to come to nothing when facing the Idars.

Because he is really unsure of the siege methods that the Idar people will use, anyway, conventional siege weapons such as arrows, ladders, and trebuchets are unlikely to be used by the Idar people.

The only thing Callaway Wendell can be sure of is that... he and the Crusader soldiers he leads will surely face the bombardment from the Idars for the first time.

And since he had never experienced being bombarded by artillery before, even Callaway Wendell himself was not sure whether the fortifications constructed under his orders and according to his own ideas would be able to defend How useful is it to be in the city.

...

The cold wind in the early morning seemed to be mixed with sporadic ice balls, which brought a slight tingling pain to the exposed faces of the Crusader guarding the city.

Their hands and feet were slightly cold, and their fingers and cheeks were flushed from the cold.

The sun flag, which symbolized the Church of Light, rattled. The sound of the flag seemed to cover up the noise of the Idar army outside the city, but there were faint rumblings that they had never heard before.

"For the **** of light..."

A Crusader stared at the Idar army that was approaching the city wall at an extremely slow speed, clenched the blade in his hand, and murmured softly with his slightly cracked lips.

"What are those things, I'm afraid they are devil-like creatures."

The soldiers on the city wall watched as the Idar's artillery was lined up outside the city wall, and the dark muzzles were connected together, but all they could do was to whisper in a warm voice.

There is no other reason. The position of Idar's army is just beyond the range of the arrow.

"Who cares! It will definitely be able to withstand it. Even St. Lawrence has been reduced to scorched earth, and the Crusaders are naturally invincible! Besides... Isn't there a legion of apostles from the Holy City!"

Hearing those small discussions like mosquito humming~www.readwn.com~ a devout Crusader soldier said with his neck stuck.

Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers shut their mouths one after another.

only……

Anyone can hear that in the stubborn and firm voice of that person, there seems to be a trace of unease and anxiety that is difficult to detect.

Legion of Apostles,

This is the name that ordinary Crusader soldiers secretly gave to the legion that shrouded themselves in white robes.

It is said that those people are the legion personally led by the Pope, an undead legion whose members have all received the blessing and baptism of the God of Light!

Ordinary Crusaders do not know whether they are dead or not, but what they know is that before the arrival of the Idar army, the leader of this legion once stood on the top of the city and proposed to attack the possible Idar army. , giving the Idars a head-on attack.

But……

When the weird-looking weapons and equipment in the Idar army and the huge monsters that could walk by themselves arrived outside the city, the army seemed to have forgotten their previous proposal, and even hid their own figures in the boulder city. deepest.

...

The rumbling sound of the cannon pierced through the mist and the cold wind, like a thunderous blast in the ears of the Crusaders.

When the artillery on the outskirts of the city made a sound that was very familiar to the Idar people, the Crusader soldiers stationed in the boulder city finally ushered in the baptism of the first round of artillery fire on this day.

"Bend over and crawl! Go to the fortifications!"

In a panicked shout...

On January 20, 540 of the new calendar, the rumbling artillery fire of the Idars started the war. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
