96: Foreign Intervention Forces
As the former capital of Skyrim Province, Dugu City located in Hafengarland was built in the Kraft Delta area in the northwest corner of Skyrim Province.
It is a sea of ghosts on both sides, one facing the mountains on one side, and only one facing the sky province through a mountaineering road.
In terms of the degree of easy defense and difficult attack, it can be said to be the number one city in Skyrim Province.
The Xueman Ling, located in the Xueman Plain, is just the opposite. It is easy to attack and difficult to defend.
Even the Skyrim Provincial Alliance led by Balguff captured Longqiao Town, which is considered Dugu City Acropolis, and forced all the powers of the Empire and the Somo people in Skyrim Province into Dugu City.
It can only ensure that the siege is impossible to even trap the other party to death.
As long as the port of the Eastern Empire Company is not lost, Dugu City can obtain unlimited supplies from Selodir from the sea.
To take over the port of Dugu City, a well-trained navy is needed... Because the empire's power has shrunk and is generally in peacetime, the empire sent two-thirds of its navy to Skyrim Province to suppress the rebellion.
Their own naval forces, the fishermen in Morning Star and the merchant ships in Fenghew City can only ensure that the rear of the army and the supply line will not be attacked in front of the Imperial Navy. It is a bit difficult for these barbarian navy and other riverbank defenders.
The result was that the Nords coalition, which had already arrived at the city, were in a stalemate with the Imperial Army that defended Dugu City and the Nords who had not had time to surrender.
Even though the reputation of the 500 warriors under Balguff spread throughout the Sky and into Dugu City, when facing a city like Dugu City, which cannot block the other party's maritime support, it is still useless to use Dugu City.
However, it is precisely because these 500 warriors are absolutely crushing in combat power that the Imperial Army in Dugu City cannot save the defeat.
Unless the Imperial Army attracts the attention of the rebels on Dugu City, while attacking the southern land... Marshal Tulius knew that this situation was basically impossible. The Empire no longer had the power to fight on both sides. The only way to break the deadlock was to find other reinforcements.
Some people in the Platinum Tower also thought of going with General Tulius.
After several months of siege, a fleet that was completely different from the human navy's style passed through the Sea of Ghost and docked at the harbor of Dugu City.
A soldier wearing golden streamlined armor stepped into the last fortress of the empire in Skyrim Province in a proud manner.
Looking at this foreign interference army, Governor Ruiji, who was almost the last group of soldiers who were willing to be loyal to the empire, looked ugly as if he was ugly.
General Nord, who led the Nords to support Selodir to defeat the Somers during the World War, was the mother of Governor Reiji. In that battle, Governor Reiji's mother was seriously injured and soon returned to the sky, she went to Songgard.
Perhaps Governor Ruiji could temporarily suppress the empire's worries about signing the Platinum Agreement for a more important goal, but if she and the Somer people were allowed to fight side by side.
...So in less than half an hour, the coalition commander stationed in Longqiao Town was just the wolf flag of Dugu City to be officially crowned as the highest king of Skyrim Province. Balguff, who also knew about the reinforcements of Dugu City.
"How dare they do this!" Ulfric, who knew the news from Balgoff, immediately fell into a state of rampage, and the other lords looked indignant.
The signing of the Platinum Agreement can also be said to compromise and wait for the future to fight back to become the "Wei River Alliance". What is the situation of inviting the Somo people's army to come in? Is it completely shameless?
"Those emperors who are not qualified to be human beings at all. We should go south now to drive them out of the Platinum Tower!" said the lord at another moment.
Given the habits of the Nord Barbarians, although the current imperial emperors are only Titusmaid II, it is estimated that everyone in the Platinum Tower will be counted as "those Titusmaids" by this Nord Barbarian.
"Quiet" Balguff, who was sitting in the upper head, spoke, and the other lords who had originally wanted to say something immediately calmed down.
In some ways, this scene is that the climate of the Supreme King Balguff has become, and whether it is really a matter of taking over Dugu City and entering the Blue Palace is not very meaningful.
The champion of the Skyrim Supreme King Selection Competition can choose where his own capital is.
The Hall of Kings in Fengjiu City and the Dragon Palace in Xueman City have both served as the capital of the Supreme King.
After the silence was completely quiet, Balgoff continued to ask: "According to the original plan, we need to take at least one year to win Dugu City, and complete the integration of all legions through this battle to prepare for the unification of the Tamrier continent again."
"Now those Somo people have made a move. How long will it take for us to take Dugu City?"
Balgoff's question made several lords think. Ulfrek, who has been Balgoff's chief deputy since surrendering, frowned and analyzed the comparison of the strength of the enemy and us.
Finally, the Lord of Forkris gasped in a voice like a tuberculosis and said the words other lords didn't want to say, but were realistic: "At least those tall men couldn't come out, no matter how much reinforcements they had."
With the 500 warriors with legends in their bodies, every lord has the confidence to say this.
"So what if the other party sends a navy to harass our coastline? Or find a place where no one knows to log in and then attack us from behind?" asked the Lord of Morning Star.
As several sea-facing territories in the Sky Province, Morning Star does not have the floes outside the Wind Fort nor the high strength of Wind Helmet City. It is the place that is most afraid of being sneak attacked by the enemy from the sea.
Although the Nords' navy was unable to capture the port of Dugu City, at least it would allow Dugu City's imperial navy to come out and harass the coastline of Skyrim Province for no reason.
Now there is an additional fleet of Somer people. As long as the Tulius on the opposite side is not a fool, he will definitely think of this move... This imperial general who almost caught Ulfric and slashed is definitely not a fool.
All of them realized that the lords who were still in silence, and the smarter lords had already thought that the current situation might be the best solution.
That is to attack Dugu City forcing a force. The ignoring of sacrifice can make those Somo people have no chance to run to carry out any mission to invade the coastline.
After losing the port of Dugu City, the Somo people's fleets could only return to their ancestors in shame and go on a way to go. The fleet without supplies was very fragile.
The problem is that the two sides face the sea and the other side is surrounded by mountains. There is only one mountain road connecting Dugu City outside, which is difficult to capture before the Somo people come. After the Somo people come, even if they can capture it, there will be a huge casualty.
The lords who realized this all turned their eyes to the supreme king Balguff, waiting for his order. If Balguff really decides to do this, he will have to do this.
Perhaps the Sacrifice Conference will put Cheping Tamriel's plan to hold off a generation's time.
Under the gaze of the other lords, Balguff, who had thought for at least five minutes, took a deep breath. Just as he was about to give his order, the sky outside suddenly darkened.
The dark sky inexplicably interrupted the meeting, and the coalition forces stationed in Longqiao Town and around Dugu City fell into a slight panic, and similar panic also occurred in Dugu City.
