Chapter 417: The Empire Is Coming
In order to guard against the army of the Bopang Empire, Irving issued instructions to senior officers of the People's Army stationed in the North and West through a wireless phone, asking them to draw some of their troops to Longyaling to strengthen their defensive power.
The number of troops garrisons who had passed Longyaling had been increased before, and then sent soldiers to reinforce was to better protect the borders of the kingdom and block all enemies outside.
As for weapons and equipment, when Longyaling was recovered, Owen had already left a series of weapons and equipment such as large artillery brought with him by the army at that time.
As long as the rear can provide sufficient bullets and artillery shells, it should be enough to deal with foreign invasions.
Speaking of which, why did the Bopang Empire choose to assemble troops to launch an invasion at this time?
I am afraid I want to take advantage of the time when winter is not yet coming, and suddenly send troops to launch a strong attack and take down Longyaling in the shortest time.
After that, when winter comes, the road is blocked with heavy snow, it is difficult to march and fight, and both sides can only temporarily quit. The Bopang Empire will take this opportunity to continue to station troops in Longyaling and accumulate strength.
Wait for the spring of the following year, and launch another comprehensive offensive.
You must know that behind Longya Ridge is the flat and vast plain of abundant prosperity.
It is estimated that the Bopang Empire is very confident that by then, it can rely on their claim to be the most powerful land army to push all the way to Junhui City, quickly capture the northern and central areas of the kingdom, and then gradually conquer the entire kingdom.
If it were the Morning Light Kingdom in the past, the Bopang Empire might have been able to successfully annex the country. By then, they will go further from the goal of fighting for the continent.
It’s a pity that the Kingdom of Morning Light is no longer the decline country with a bright appearance but a rotten interior.
After this drastic reform, the Kingdom of Morning Light has been reborn.
At present, the kingdom's development momentum is so strong that Irving will never allow the Bopang Empire army to invade and disrupt their vigorous development.
In this way, Longyaling entered a state of preparation for war, highly alert to the movements of the Western Bopang Empire army.
Once the opponent really sends troops to the forefront, the People's Army will inevitably launch a fierce counterattack, defend the country, and repel all the enemies.
...
A month later, groups of tents appeared in an open wilderness west of Longyaling, which was the military camp where the Bopang Empire troops were stationed and rested.
The army of ten thousand people gathered in Einbek was finally dispatched, and they were heading towards the direction of Longya Ridge, with their purpose being self-evident.
The commander who led this army was Deer, one of the three knights of the Empire, and his title was "Blood-Swallowing".
This person has an extremely strong body and a fierce face. He has several scars on his face alone, let alone those on his body.
The so-called Three Heroes of the Empire are the three knights with the strongest strength and highest status in the entire empire. If they can be personally awarded the title by the emperor, it is a very high honor.
It is worth mentioning that Deer is different from the other two empire three-brilliance knights. He has no surname, was originally a civilian, and had no magic power, so he could not use magic.
The ability to climb to this position step by step is entirely due to the superb combat skills he honed in the battles that were dying again and again. He was finally appreciated by the emperor and promoted to the Three-Hero Knight of the Empire.
Because Deer was very selfless during the battle, he would be covered with the enemy's blood when he was not careful. He looked terrifying and bloody.
Therefore, Emperor Nicholas gave him the title of "Blood-eating".
In the central large tent, Deer was having a meeting with his subordinates.
Deer, who was sitting in the seat, reached out and touched the stubble on his chin, and put on an excited expression of desire to fight against a strong enemy.
"I heard that the most powerful person in the Kingdom of Morning Light is the Knight Commander named Shius Banger. I wonder if I could meet him when attacking Longyaling? I really want to have a death fight with him."
"That... Lord Deer."
A subordinate carefully answered, for fear of offending the Three-Hero Knight of the Empire.
"I heard that the Sius Bangel man was in Chisand Fortress, responsible for leading his troops to resist the immortal monsters that invade south every winter. You should not see him in Longya Ridge."
"Is that so? It's a pity."
Hearing this, Deer was instantly disappointed.
Since there is no strong man who looks down on him, then wait until the army breaks through the city gate of Longyaling and slaughteres some civilians as much as possible. He thought to himself.
Deer is indeed worthy of his fierce face, he is bloodthirsty and treats murder as a joke. This is also an important reason why his subordinates fear him.
"Mr. Deer!"
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran in from outside and reported: "Longyaling sent an envoy here to ask what the purpose of our army was to face the border."
It is normal for the other party to discover it. After all, this army of ten thousand people is too conspicuous and cannot be hidden at all.
Deer doesn't care about this. Anyway, they were planning to attack Longyaling, so they would discover it if they found it.
Having said that, Longyaling must be very panicked now and will launch an attack tomorrow. How long can the opponent resist when facing the powerful army that the Bopang Empire is proud of?
Thinking of this, Deer couldn't help but show a ferocious expression.
"Go and tell the messenger."
He ordered the soldier: "Our army was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to fight to drive away the fake king for the second princess of your country, Triste Wells, and support the orthodox royal family. This is a just act!"
If Emperor Nicholaste had not warned Dil not to kill the envoy at will, he would have had someone arrest the envoy sent by Longyaling and slowly killed him.
"Yes!" The soldier immediately took the order and retreated.
The next day, Dier led his army to approach Longyaling, and the two armies confronted each other a thousand meters away from the west gate.
Sitting on the back of the war horse, Deer raised the great sword in his hand and ordered loudly: "Blow the horn and the whole army will attack!"
There is no need to send an envoy to persuade the surrender, because the other party’s envoy had already arrived yesterday and there was no news after returning, which means that the other party has no intention of surrender, so just start fighting.
Woo--
The horn of the attack spread throughout the battlefield, and soldiers of the Bopang Empire raised their weapons and launched an offensive towards Longyaling.
"Run!!!"
"Kill!!!"
The magician behind the army had already chanted spells, raised his staff, and opened a large magic shield in the air in front to resist the opponent's large magic.
This is the style of Deer commanding the army, simple and rough. Even he himself drove his horse and charged into battle.
Seeing the enemy rushing towards him, the battalion commander of the People's Army at the west gate was shocked.
Ah?! Just fight like this? What about the pre-war practice? Who is the commander on the opposite side? He doesn't follow the rules.
He couldn't help but think too much, and he quickly issued an order to the artillery: "Fire the artillery quickly!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
