The declaration of war was published in newspapers and distributed to everyone. News of the war between the Church of Truth and the Apocalypse God System spread completely, and the recruitment announcements also confirmed this.
Before the invasion of the ancient gods, the permanent army of the Romanov Kingdom had always been maintained at around one million. During the war, retired veterans were urgently recruited, and a team of three million could be raised overnight. Katerina knew the importance of soldiers and ascended the throne.
Later, we began to train young people of appropriate age in a three-year cycle.
In the few years since the war with the demons broke out, the number of permanent soldiers in the Romanov Kingdom reached three million. These are only serving soldiers, and there are more training soldiers who have not been naturalized, becoming a steady stream of soldiers.
Katerina has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. This is what she has dreamed of. In the past, for Ma Wei's sake, it was not suitable for territorial expansion, but now the Apocalypse God System has taken the initiative to declare war...
She couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Your Majesty, you can just sit at the rear. Why do you want to go to the front?"
At St. Basil's Cathedral, Mavey looked at Katerina helplessly: "Isn't it good to stay in Moscow? Makarov and Goffman are all famous generals with rich experience. Just let them take command.
!”
"Makarov and the others are indeed good at fighting, but I heard that Caesar has also come to the front line." Katerina said, "This is the reason why I went."
"...Your Majesty, you can't trust Makarov and the others?"
"No, it's me who wants to fight Caesar." Katerina said truthfully: "A legendary figure, the founder of a great empire, Father, if it were you, wouldn't you be moved?"
"..."
To be honest, Ma Wei really has no idea about Caesar.
But he could understand Katerina's impulse.
As a commander, Katerina has won dozens of battles, large and small, and her superb military abilities have convinced countless generals. This is one of the reasons why generals such as Makarov who followed Peter the Great are willing to take refuge in her.
.
The battlefield is the stage for their competition. Remember when the Saint-Martial fleet was sailing on the sea, when they encountered some powerful pirates, they had to rush up and fight them?
When you meet an opponent, your adrenaline surges, but when you encounter a merchant ship with unequal strength, you lose interest.
Mavie knows that feeling.
"No, Your Majesty, I can't let you go to the front line." Ma Wei sighed: "Nereida has joined forces with Badji. If they go to the front line at the same time, the Church of Truth cannot guarantee your safety. Once you are captured by them,
Leave, the Romanov Kingdom will be in big trouble, and I need you to stay in Mosk, in the safest place."
"Should I go secretly?" Katerina licked her lips.
"Intelligence will always be leaked. It's better to stay in Mosk."
Katerina was immediately a little disappointed, because Arthur had already gone to the front line to command. The answer given by Ma Wei was also very simple. The head church of the Church of Truth is in Mosk, and London is the territory of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny. Apocalypse
Why did the pantheon want to attack London and let Mosk go?
The armies of the Apocalypse Gods and the True Gods were gathering towards the border of the Kingdom of Romanov. Looking at the Perea Strait, Napoleon was on the defensive and had no intention of attacking the Kingdom of Windsor itself.
Napoleon, who was confronting the Kingdom of Windsor, was not the main force at all!
Nereida and Buggy will never sit idle and look for trouble with Arthur...
In the following period, the Romanov Kingdom mobilized millions of troops to display on the southern border, setting up layers of defense lines, always preparing to resist the attacks launched by the Apocalypse Gods and the Real Gods, and informants in Berlin continued to send back news
.
After the death of William V, Bismarck stepped down. This was just the beginning. Recently, under the leadership of Pope Doppler II, the Judgment Cult began to arrest royalists. Whether they were senior officials or generals, anyone loyal to William V
, all were punished.
Doppler II has been dissatisfied with William V for many years. Before the advent of God, William V implemented strict control over domestic religion. During that period, the officials and generals in power had no relationship with the church.
That's pretty good.
Whether William V's 'betrayal' was related to the support of the nobles has not yet been determined, but Pope Doppler II firmly believed that the collusion between the king and the nobles was the source of the trouble, so he carried out a wave of purges against the senior officials of the Kingdom of Frederick.
.
The abolition of the king system brought Frederick's Kingdom into the republican period. Various parties sprung up. The new Prime Minister Adolf was a vegetarian, an animal protectionist, a non-smoker, and a gentle personality. In order to cooperate with the church's supervision of the nobles,
Special police were established to arrest lawless elements intent on causing unrest.
Because of the loss of cheap food from the Romanov Kingdom, the price of wheat in the Kingdom of Frederick has soared, which has dealt a huge blow to the agriculture that was already depressed due to urbanization. As a staple food, the price of wheat is undoubtedly related to people's livelihood, and it has a great impact on Frederick.
As far as the kingdom is concerned, people can live without milk, they can live without sausages, and they can never live without bread!
Food prices only rose for a period of time. The Alawi Kingdom, which had reached cooperation, began to export wheat to the Frederick Kingdom, which depressed domestic food prices and allowed prices to fall. Coupled with the large number of orders placed by the government to factories, a considerable part of the employment problem was solved.
, the economic problem has been temporarily solved....
On August 9, the Apocalypse Gods invaded Warsaw.
The 150,000 troops commanded by Commander Adnan launched a fierce battle with the Southwest Front Army led by Makarov. At first, the battle went very smoothly. Under the command of Makarov, the Berlin commander Commander Adnan could not get any benefits.
After fighting for half a month, they only advanced a few kilometers and did not even see the birch forest outside Warsaw. This was the result of Makarov deliberately avoiding too many casualties and retreating...
After hearing the news, Adolf angrily asked Commander Adnan to capture Warsaw within seven days. Commander Adnan, who received the order, could only bite the bullet and launch a general offensive. At the cost of tens of thousands of soldier casualties, he finally came to Warsaw.
Nearby, but before entering the city, a huge airship appeared in the sky.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Countless activated magic shells fell from the airship and exploded in the center of the battlefield, causing the frontline troops to collapse instantly.
Seeing this scene, Makarov smiled as if his plan had succeeded. He had been retreating these days just to lure the enemy deeper. Airships are a good thing, but they also have to be determined by the occasion. If Adnan's army is not pulled apart, the airship will
It's easy to get caught in a fire and crash....
"Report!"
Just when Makarov was about to report the battle situation to Mosk, the adjutant rushed into the command post with a panic look on his face: "Mosk news, a legion has invaded the Helsinki area! It is moving towards St. Petersburg!"
"Helsinki?" Makarov was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran to the map and observed it carefully.
The front line is Warsaw, where the Allied forces have the largest number of troops. Both sides have more than three million troops on display here!
Absolute frontal battlefield!
The results of it?
The Apocalypse God System actually sent an army to attack Helsinki!
How this battle was fought!
Aren't you afraid of being annihilated if you go deep alone?
Don't think about a sneak attack on Mosk. No one is a fool. Most of the troops led by Makarov are ordinary soldiers. The truly powerful church army has not yet been sent out!
With Yunia in charge of Mosk, wouldn't a small group of troops rush to attack in a sneak attack and be killed?
"How many enemies are there attacking Helsinki?"
"About ten thousand! They parachuted into Helsinki!"
Makarov frowned and decided not to care about the enemy troops that appeared in the Helsinki area. He was on the front line. Any enemies that appeared in the rear would be dealt with by the troops in the rear. His mission was to establish the first line of defense and block it as much as possible.
enemy!
As Makarov expected, Mosk soon sent a dragoon regiment to St. Petersburg for support. At the same time, Commander Adnan was dismissed and Caesar became the supreme commander of the front line.
Caesar did not choose to attack fiercely like Adnan did. Instead, during the confrontation, he continuously sent small groups of mobile troops to intersperse, day and night, on average once every twenty minutes, causing chaos. The soldiers often heard the enemy as soon as they fell asleep.
An incoming wake-up call.
For several days, Makarov began to evacuate some of his soldiers backwards, dividing them into four groups: one for frontline alert, one for reserve, and one for rest. Although this would weaken the frontline defense, it could perfectly cope with Caesar's tactics.
, but no one expected...
Caesar launched a general attack on the same day as his soldiers retreated.
The tired soldiers rushed into battle without rest, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. On the other hand, the soldiers led by Caesar were like wolves and tigers, hiding behind the giant soldiers and moving forward. Makarov's soldiers showed signs of defeat. Fortunately, Austrian soldiers
Nufri arrived in time with a regiment of dragoons and repelled the attack.
Rokin came to the front line with Onufri. Makarov asked with some confusion: "Why are you here?"
"Father Mawei wants me to inform you to abandon Warsaw immediately and retreat across the board."
"Retreat across the board? Why!" Makarov, with bloodshot eyes, gritted his teeth and shouted: "I have been holding on for almost a month! If we retreat at this time, wouldn't we give Warsaw to the enemy?!"
"Budge appeared in the Helsinki area, and the 15th Dragoon Regiment was completely wiped out." Rokin said the chilling words in a calm voice: "Archbishop Levin has already gone to stop him, but as soon as Archbishop Levin moved, he
No one can stop Nereida. In order to avoid greater losses, you must retreat immediately."
"Makarov, withdraw! If Nereida comes to the front line, it will be too late!"
"Why!"
Makarov punched the table angrily, "Retreat!"
On September 10, the Southwest Front withdrew from Warsaw and retreated to the Minsk area.
As soon as the garrison in Warsaw moved, Goffman, who was stationed in Kiev, threw his cup angrily and began to retreat urgently. The garrison in the Rostov area also withdrew.
Less than two hours after the army withdrew, Nereida came to the front line and entered Warsaw accompanied by Caesar.
"Send an army to follow me." Nereida suddenly said after looking at the situation in Warsaw.
"what you up to?"
"They just withdrew not long ago. It's a good opportunity to pursue them. Buggy has restrained Levin Berger. Now no one in the Church of Truth is my opponent. You just need to lead the army to follow me and take over the city."
After saying that, Nereida disappeared instantly and chased in the direction where Makarov and others evacuated.
"Führer, aren't we going to catch up?"
A general saw Caesar's ugly face and asked cautiously.
"He can solve it by himself, so why fight!"
Caesar turned around and got on the carriage and said to the general: "Lead the army and catch up!"
"Führer, where are you going?"
"Go back to Rome! I'm not needed here at all!"
In full view of everyone, Caesar left in a carriage. Serafina, who was traveling with him, looked at him with a strange look on his face: "The war went so smoothly, will it stimulate your pride?"
"This is not a war at all, but a unilateral massacre." Caesar looked out the window with an indifferent expression: "There is no fun in a battlefield that loses competitiveness. There is only the most primitive killing. But what really made me retreat was Neley.
Ida.”
"What happened to Him?"
"In Him, I saw my original shadow." Caesar said: "Arrogance, arrogance, arrogance, contempt, complacency...these are the ways to die."
Serafina's eyes flashed: "Do you think Nereida will lose?"
"Do you want to hear what's on my mind?"
"Um."
"I thought He was going to die."
After several years of getting along and trusting each other, Caesar and Serafina have become very close, like friends who talk about everything. They met two thousand years ago.
"I don't know why, Nereida gives me a very dull feeling." Caesar thought about it and said: "This kind of dullness is not because of self-confidence, but because of the calmness of predicting what is about to happen..."
"Nereida is the god of apocalypse. He can indeed see the possibilities of the future."
"And the prime minister he elected is full of paranoia and madness."
Caesar squinted his eyes, as if he was looking at something that did not exist: "Paranoia and madness are important reasons for failure. To be honest, I am not optimistic about the new prime minister. His paranoia and madness can only make Frederick
The Kingdom of Lie prospered for a while, and then fell into hell. It was like a short-lived excitement like taking a shot of chicken blood, and like a patient's flashback, which cannot be sustained for a long time."
"How could a god of apocalypse, who could see the possible future, elect such a new prime minister?"
"Of course, it may be that I have poor vision, misjudged the nature of the new prime minister, and miscalculated the future. If this is the case, I will have no shame in staying on the front line."
"You always think too much."
Serafina shook her head: "We will not lose, Nereida will definitely win, because no one can stop her!"
Looking at Serafina, Caesar suddenly said: "Do you know why Maverick Enders can succeed?"
"Why?"
"Because when everyone thinks everything is foolproof, he is thinking about the possibility of failure. When everyone is celebrating victory, he is already thinking about the hidden dangers that may arise after victory..."
