Once a war starts, the competition is often about who has made enough preparations. Those who just go ahead and do it will basically die miserably.
This joint operation was obviously not done hastily.
Multiple countries coordinated to jointly set up a strategic command, then divided the two battlefields and involved each other's forces at the same time. Then Oran's fleet escorted and provided cover, forcing the main force of the Kingdom of Mage to land directly into the hinterland.
The final battle situation that humans hope to form is probably a two-front attack, gradually encroaching, and finally breaking through Esso Reeves and leveling those damn plane gates.
Such a big undertaking, mobilizing so many countries and races, could never be finalized by chatting and drinking tea in Bayer before. Not to mention the one-month preparation period, I think it has been prepared for at least a year.
Esso Reeves is like a cancer growing on Bayer's chest. Unless he is completely eradicated, he will always be a serious problem.
But now, Bayer has decided to do whatever it takes to completely clear this wound that is constantly leaking pus and blood.
And if we really want to trace the root of this layout, I am afraid it can be traced back to the period of Emperor Baier.
At that time, Oros Mossifolia San Milan was expanding wildly at all costs, and everyone thought that he had either lost his mind due to ambition, or that he was completely crazy.
Expansion under normal circumstances is to swallow one piece and digest the other, and gradually use population migration, cultural upbringing, and religious corruption to completely erase the traces of the motherland, and then after one or two generations, it is completely swallowed.
But during Oros's rule, he annexed other small countries every year, and his territory doubled several times in the thirty years he was in power.
It may look very majestic, but people who really understand politics and history are waiting for him to overturn. You can't eat a big fat man in one bite. If you eat blindly without caring about your health, you will only be able to strangle yourself to death.
In fact, in those days, some people called him the "Fool King".
But looking back now, the real fools were the "wise men" who called out this title in advance.
"Oros did it for expansion, and he wanted to seek medical treatment for Bayer."
The undead of the time were parasitic on the behemoth Bayer. The person in charge was the extremely difficult Esso himself. Faced with this ancient undead emperor and the spell that controlled his life and death, Oros simply did not have the strength to turn against him.
So, on the one hand, he secretly supported the Southern Sect, the natural enemy of the undead, and on the other hand, he tried every means to obtain the Crown of Thorns, the sacred object of the Languo clan, and transformed himself into a living dead, getting rid of Esso's death restraint control. At the same time, he was "very irrational"
The flames of war were ignited to the borders of the Kingdom of Mages.
Looking back now, we can see that he had good intentions at the time.
He knew that if anyone could confront the undead and the undead emperor head-on, it would be the group of truth mages from the Cloud Tower, but these guys were notorious for being careless.
"Okay, if you are aloof and don't care about worldly affairs, I will leave the trouble at your door and let you take care of it."
At that time, the undead chose the area around Victoria Harbor as their base. There was also the influence of Oros. The cunning old poisonous scorpion disguised himself as a half-undead who longed for the undead emperor. He did what the emperor said and he was "loyal" for thirty years.
He was raped by someone, but he was always waiting for the opportunity to betray him.
This also explains why Bayer was so hasty and irrational in provoking the whole world, falling out with the Holy Church (reporting himself as a heretic), and even declaring war with the Kingdom of Mages. If the Kingdom of Mages hadn’t planned to
If left alone, he would really launch a full-scale attack, attracting a flanking attack from the Templar Church and the Kingdom of Mages, forcing the undead to surface.
"The worst we can do is perish together."
Nowadays, the situation has changed a lot. The most obvious one is the arrival of Roland. The expected death did not happen, but forcing Esso to commit suicide can be said to be a miracle of God's favor. It also allowed Bayer and Oros to quickly get rid of
Control of the undead.
In the end, Oros, whose life had come to an end, once again sacrificed his reputation and his life, owed a huge favor to the forces of Hades, and took that sacrifice as an opportunity to share adversity and create the current alliance of the three major powers.
If this is still regarded as a foolish king, I am afraid that more than 99% of the population in this world are mentally retarded.
Today, his layout is still in effect, and the border with the country of mages has become an unavoidable difficulty for invaders from other worlds.
No matter how indifferent the mage is, he cannot ignore the threats under his nose.
Therefore, the familiar rhythm and general trend are still the same, but the imaginary enemy of the year has been changed. The devil has taken over the undead mess, and has to face attacks from multiple parties.
Under the current grand strategy, even I cannot directly disobey the joint command's decision. After all, I am no longer a polished commander who can feed the whole family.
"Actually, I am a pacifist, pure and simple."
I sincerely said the words of "Long Live Peace", but the people around me were still looking at me with expressions like "You're kidding me" and "Your joke is not funny at all" just like before.
"Actually, I have always told the truth..."
But sometimes, the more truthful it is, the less likely it is that anyone will believe it.
In fact, I am less and less interested in the war in my eyes, but people can't help themselves in the world. If I run away at this time, I'm afraid it will be a lot of fun later, especially what they want me to do is of great importance.
In the western waters of the Forest of Dreams, Oran's fleet is still maintaining interval fire suppression, making its presence known to the devils and undead, and covering the successful landing of its frontline troops.
However, the frequency of their intensive artillery fire dropped sharply. If they were still the main messenger on the real battlefield yesterday, they would probably just make their presence known today.
The enemy still has doubts and does not dare to approach the coastline. Most of our people think that this is a calm way to win. Only a few Olan captains know the real reason for the ceasefire... They are out of ammunition.
In this era, magic power, as a power resource, can be regenerated, and the consumption of arrows can also be calculated by professionals. However, the magic crystal cannon used by gunboats not only consumes a large amount of magic resources, but also needs to be polished and shaped.
artillery ammunition and various magic mineral materials as daily consumption.
Yesterday's raid was quite enjoyable, but in order to ensure the pressure on the battlefield, especially when faced with demons and undead natural disasters that only existed in legendary stories, these first-generation new captains who had transferred from ordinary warships to magic warships
None of them issued an order to reserve firepower. On the contrary, they kept shouting:
"Give me a denser barrage on the port side! Get out of the way and let me fire the cannon myself!"
"Bigness is beauty, many is justice, let the whole world see the teachings of the truth of many turrets!"
"Ahahahahaha, you gave me a fucking blast! You're so slow, you haven't eaten yet, kids. Whoever keeps dragging me back, I'll throw him into the barrel and shoot him out!"
Okay, although the lines are probably nonsense, the crazy energy is real. If there is anything more exciting than firing cannons, it is probably that you can only fire cannons at moving targets without having to worry about being retaliated by the targets, but
After a whole day of fun, an inexplicable emptiness bothers these guys with excessive male hormones.
"...The ammunition was only used for half a day, and more than half of it was consumed."
"I thought it could last for three days and three nights, but it was scrapped in one day. It's really useless."
When new weapons and equipment are put on the battlefield, it takes time to perfect not only the weapon itself, but also how to apply and operate it. It takes time and experience to develop an effective weapon manual.
The captains of warships in the past did not enjoy the pleasure of blasting hundreds of cannons. They only had solid and hollow lead bullets equipped with powder magazines, and the reloading speed and shooting speed were quite frequent. They did not have to worry about firing in a short time in an afternoon.
When all ammunition is consumed in the battle.
If you use new toys based on past experience, this kind of problem will easily occur.
The inventory of the entire fleet is only about 40%. Regular combat is still possible, but if a large-scale landing cover is carried out, the inventory may be exhausted after half a day, and everyone will become a spectator.
Fortunately, this problem did not occur when we and the enemy were in direct exchange of fire. They could make up for it on their own without paying a heavy price.
"...The premise is that supplies can come in time."
If Oran's supplies come by sea, it will take about more than a month, but if the aerostat takes a straight line from Bayer, it will only take about two and a half days.
But if you take a straight line from the east to the west, even if you don't pass through Esso Rivers, you will pass by its border, which is equivalent to getting someone killed at your doorstep.
It's not impossible to take a detour, but it will definitely miss the expected large-scale landing of troops in the Kingdom of Mage three days later, breaking the entire attack plan.
In order to involve the undead's defense line in both directions, the offensive on the eastern front has also been launched. If the western front loses its chain at this time, it is equivalent to turning the encirclement network into a food delivery, which is absolutely unacceptable.
In desperation, the Joint Command decided to forcefully complete the supply at all costs.
But unfortunately, this unfortunate job fell on me.
"Going to greet the fleet? Help you escort? Are you sure?"
"...I think you'd better think more about it and let this unfortunate man summon the ships. I'm afraid those ships will sail directly to Hades."
Although Heloise's words were a bit redundant, in a sense I did not refute it and acquiesced to this situation.
But the other party still insisted, but I always refused. After all, I was also a senior member of the Lan Alliance in name. In the end, the messenger still told the truth.
"Actually, there are two fleets arriving. One is going straighter, with not many crew members and less cargo. The other side, taking a small path around the mountains, will arrive a little later..."
"Pfft, I'm using you as bait!"
I miss the dead cat's cat form more and more. How cool it would be to hold it up by its neck, shake it unconscious and throw it out.
At this point, everyone knows, this is the one that asked me to pick up the bait, and then attract as much firepower and attention as possible to facilitate the passage of the real supply ship.
"Whoever came up with this strategy simply uses everything to its limit. The broom star can still be used like this, great!"
I want to throw this dead cat with the thumbs up more and more into the sky, but I am also looking forward to this answer. Well, I definitely don’t intend to write down the blacklist. I am just curious about how the book knows me, and I want to throw that person into the sea to practice.
Practice swimming or something like that, take revenge? Am I such a stingy person?
【Who are you.】
Ignoring the efforts to refresh the existing system, I also got the expected answer.
"...Actually, it's your Majesty Renee of the Lan Alliance."
Okay, as expected, this damn girl is cheating on dad again... cheating on grandpa? (To be continued.)
