In the sky, groups of winged flying soldiers monitor all signs on the battlefield.
On the ground, the Sbia Guards' Revenge Legion and the Legion of Destruction were forming a line of thousands of troops and were on standby.
On the river bank, the Legion of Doom and the Legion of Catastrophe were still disembarking, and the Judgment Legion, which had withdrawn from the battlefield, was evacuating the wounded.
In the camp of the Divine Alliance, there was silence at this time. But under the Silver Frost Castle, there were dead bodies and wounded people all over the ground.
At the moment when the Divine Alliance was about to capture Silver Frost Castle, Sibia's reinforcements arrived. Countless flying winged troops defeated the flying troops of the Divine Alliance in an extremely fast time and cleared out the people under the fortress.
The battlefield was even partially expanded into the interior of the fortress, and a headquarters was established on the platform. Not long after, the transport fleet of the Sibia army appeared.
Due to the terrain restrictions of Silver Frost Castle, not many teams can join the battle at the same time.
Prince Carl Ulysses sent two troops to raid the fleet, but they fled back in embarrassment under the attack of the Sibia wingers and flying dragons. The Sibia reinforcements came from afar and disembarked where the prince could see them.
Form the team, spread out, and march toward the battlefield calmly.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one in the Divine Alliance would have believed that this legion of more than 20,000 people would have such a strong combat effectiveness. This legion called "Judgment" did not use any bizarre tactics. They rushed up directly and attacked from the center.
The battle line composed of 60,000 divine coalition forces was torn apart. In the ruins of Silver Frost Castle, with the support of the fortress army, the divine coalition forces were beaten to pieces. The divine coalition forces, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, actually appeared.
The entire team and battalion are out of combat!
An hour later, the Revenge Legion and the Legion of Destruction in Sibia's reinforcements entered the battle one after another. Two hours later, the entire city of Silver Frost Castle was again under the control of Sibia's army. Three hours later, the Divine Alliance Army Command was forced to retreat.
Withdraw - In these three hours of brutal fighting, the Divine Alliance suffered nearly 60,000 casualties, of which more than 10,000 people lost their lives due to fleeing. In addition to the soldiers lost in the previous attack on Silver Frost Castle, the Divine Alliance suffered
The total casualties of the main force of the coalition forces have exceeded 120,000. Calculated based on the total number of 350,000 people, such casualties have far exceeded the one-fifth chance of casualties in normal wars.
Prince Ulysses once again organized an array, and Sbia's army also highlighted the city and arrayed outside the walls of Silver Frost Castle - the terrain here is flat, which is the real place for the decisive battle. Once this war starts, no one side will be hit.
Total destruction cannot be stopped.
This is not a good choice for the Divine Alliance. The continuous attack throughout the day has consumed too much energy of the troops. Although after receiving the news of the approaching reinforcements from Sibia, the prince once let some troops rest and recuperate.
, but in the previous battle, morale was greatly damaged. Now that the war starts and we face such a powerful enemy, the outcome will not be very optimistic.
In normal times, the Divine Alliance Army would not be so easily affected, but they have been tired for a day on the battlefield and have been hit by the battle situation one after another, especially when they besieged Silver Frost Castle with absolute superiority and failed to defeat it, their morale and physical strength have been reduced.
It was very different from the morning. Later, I witnessed with my own eyes the killing style of Sibia's army, which was like chopping melons and vegetables. It was already good for some of the new recruits to stand firm.
As if they knew the concerns of the prince, the murderous Sibia army did not beat the war drums and attack after the formation. Instead, they stood quietly and waited amidst the continuous cries of the wounded on the battlefield.
Stay on until night falls.
The more silent the Sibia army became, the more terrified the soldiers of the Divine Alliance Army became. The breath of death spread across this land.
But Prince Ulysses looked calm and unaffected by the atmosphere at all, because he knew that even if Cohen Keda really wanted to kill him, he would not do it under such circumstances, let alone him.
Now that I only have this small army in hand, I don't have the ability to completely annihilate myself - the troops under my command are, after all, the real elite of the Tanxi Empire!
Sibia's army may not have even eaten breakfast today. How easy is it to eat his own army in one bite now?
As darkness falls, countless bonfires rise on the battle line, far and near, forming a sea of swaying orange stars. The light illuminates the battlefield and the surrounding warriors - living, dead, or both.
struggling between.
"The troops are ready to fight!" In the God's Allied Forces Command, the prince who had been paying attention to Jiang An ordered, "Royal dress, lead the horse."
The adjutant complied in confusion and had no idea why, but in the prince's silent eyes, a transport ship that was very different from other transport ships was docking under the Silver Frost Castle, and a horse with all black fur jumped onto the temporary dock.
, the man on the horse is dressed in black and armor, but his figure does not blend into the dark night behind him. Instead, he is like a strange light source, emitting something outward...
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
Three overwhelming shouts came from the Sibia army, letting everyone in the Divine Alliance know that Emperor Sibia was personally on the battlefield!
Prince Ulysses took the time to put on his royal dress, mounted his horse, and with only a dozen guards, moved closer to the front of the battlefield. When he reached the frontline troops, the prince thought for a while and ordered someone to use a stretcher to put the seriously injured man on the battlefield.
He also brought his son, who had recently regained consciousness, and asked him to ride on his war horse and stay with him.
On the opposite side, Emperor Sibia, dressed in black, surrounded by his guards in silver armor, also came to the forefront of the battlefield.
"Look carefully, this is Emperor Sibia. Remember his appearance, remember that he seriously injured you, remember the soldiers who died because of him today, and then smile at him." A smile appeared on the prince's face,
He raised his hand and waved to the other side.
Emperor Sibia didn't say anything. He just continued to ride his horse forward. He didn't stop until he reached the front line of the troops. When he reached the middle of the two armies, the emperor took off his helmet and hung it on the saddle in front of the bridge. He said coldly.
Look at the prince.
"The others stay here." The prince nodded and said to his son: "Come forward with me and don't talk."
Among the soldiers of the two armies who were waiting in full formation, Prince Tansi and Emperor Sbia walked to one place, only half a horse's distance apart.
"Good night, Your Majesty. We haven't seen you for many days. Your Majesty is even more elegant than before." Prince Carl Ulysses smiled and greeted him before introducing the pale-faced young general beside him. "This is a dog. I have always admired His Majesty's reputation."
There was not even a smile on Cohen Keda's face. He just put his cold eyes on the prince and nodded slightly as an answer.
The prince did not take it seriously and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty invited me here because you have something to say? The two armies are about to fight. As a commander, it is not appropriate for me to be away from the army for too long."
"What's inappropriate?" Cohen finally began to speak, "It's better than being a commander without an army."
"Your Majesty is still so funny." The prince straightened his face and asked sternly: "Your Majesty, please see, I have an army of nearly one million, how can I become a commander without troops?"
"Because I am here." Cohen's gaze raised slightly, "In a war against me, your final outcome can only be to become a bare commander with nothing. Or at that time, not at all.
There is no commander anymore."
"Your Majesty is so heroic." The prince laughed, "I have been through battles for a long time. I only believe in the final result and never make assumptions before the war. Yes, your Majesty is young and brave, but the Sibia army here is only less than 100,000!
Even if Sibia's army is powerful, how long will it take to kill my king's army? What will Sibia's army eat? What will it be used for? With just that few transport ships, how much supplies will your majesty bring? Or will your majesty live longer?
Seeing my subordinates getting older, I was really naked at that time."
"Listen to me, do you want to fight this?" Cohen narrowed his eyes a little, "Then just retreat and start a fight."
"It's not that I want to start a war." The prince caught the murderous intent in His Majesty Cohen's eyes, "It's that your Majesty wants to start a war in your heart, right?"
"Nonsense, you led a large army to invade the Sibia Empire and attack the Sibia border. As the emperor of Sibia, I don't want to annihilate you. Am I just wanting to take a walk with you?" Cohen replied indifferently, "Speaking of which.
, the prince’s behavior of greeting you with a smile yesterday and inserting a knife into his back today really makes me uncomfortable.”
"How could your Majesty say such words? The Divine Alliance's attack on Sibia is not subject to my will. I was appointed to lead the army completely out of my own control." The prince shook his head and said with a faint smile: "
Didn’t His Majesty ascend the throne involuntarily? After ascending the throne, didn’t he also have to devote himself to the Sbia Empire? The same goes for me. Since this war is unavoidable, then for the sake of my empire and my royal family, I will definitely fight well.
In this battle, none of the athletes under my command is afraid of death!"
"I believe that the prince's men are not afraid of death, but isn't the fall of the Tanxi Empire the root cause of the disease? No matter what the cost, Sibia's army will not let any enemy survive today. Your Tanxi army is brave, and all of them will die.
Here." A smile appeared on Cohen's face for the first time, "Then, the one the Divine Alliance will attack in the coming year will no longer be Sibia, but Tansi."
"I admit that what His Majesty said is not impossible, but times are unpredictable, and it is impossible for us to arrange great things for the future, right?"
"Since you don't want to achieve great things for a long time, why do you, Prince, lead the army here?"
"There must be some concern..." The prince glanced at his son, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"
"I give the prince two choices." Cohen held out two fingers. "The first is to start a war and fight until one side is completely destroyed. The second is to retreat."
"Your Majesty is an extraordinary person and thinks extraordinary things." The prince opened his mouth in surprise, "I can't figure out these two proposals."
"Why did Sibia's reinforcements come so quickly? The prince must not be able to figure it out, right? Because these five legions are the elite selection of Sibia. It is not a boast to describe one as ten, and I brought them out without thinking about it again.
If we want to return to the Holy Capital alive, it is a war anyway, and which side we fight is no longer a consideration for me." Cohen said: "The divine coalition forces will kill, and the demon coalition forces will also kill. But the prince has to think about it, if you
If these few children in my hand cannot go back, what will happen to the Tanxi Empire in the future?"
"Your Majesty's dedication to victory really puts me to shame." The prince replied, "Your Majesty is so sure that I will withdraw my troops?"
"Whether the prince retreats or not is not important to Sibia, but it is more important to the Tanxi Empire. After all, Tanxi does not recruit these elites every year. Now Sibia no longer trusts anyone, anyone
They are all enemies. Sibia just wants to kill him once and live up to his reputation." Cohen said: "The prince will make his own decision on how to choose. I can't wait too long."
"Your Majesty, please take a look at my army! They have trained for years and shed countless blood and sweat just for today's battle." The prince smiled and turned to look at his troops, and changed his tone to a slightly lower tone.
The voice said: "Your Majesty also knows that this battle will establish the pattern of the continent for decades to come. Whether it is the divine alliance or the demon alliance, which empire does not want to profit from it? I am full of war.
Suddenly, Your Majesty just said a simple word and wanted me to withdraw my troops? If your Majesty were in my position, wouldn't you want to take another step forward? If you had the ability to eliminate a serious problem for the empire, wouldn't you do it?
"
"The prince is still older after all! Yes, in my position as prince, I also want to take another step forward. If one day I can get rid of this big problem like Sibia, I will do it." Cohen remained unmoved, "
I always talk about business in an understatement, because these are all certain things, which can be seen clearly at a glance. Of course, the prince's retreat will also be beneficial to Sibia, but the benefit is not big. The war that belongs to you is over, and what belongs to us
The war has just begun. The prince is wise in his life and will certainly weigh the pros and cons!"
"This matter is difficult to handle." The prince was silent for a long time and said to Cohen: "I have injured so many people and I can't explain it!"
"Do I need to explain it to anyone?" Cohen smiled slightly, "As the supreme commander of the Divine Alliance, the prince is worried about this?"
"Your Majesty has a high position, so he naturally does not have these worries. The priests and supervisors of the temple are very strict." The prince also smiled, "Your Majesty, people are formidable! If I don't have something in my hand, I can't retreat."
"Okay!" Cohen raised his hand, pointed at himself and said, "How about my head? Do you want it?"
"Your Majesty is joking, who has the guts to ask for your Majesty's head?" The prince waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, give me some land, so I can explain it easily. I don't want to embark on the road of fighting with your Majesty, but the empire and the
The temple is pressing hard!"
"What the prince wants is this Silver Frost Castle?" Cohen frowned, "If I gave you the place where Sibia's army was defending, how would I explain it to those martyrs who died?"
"I have the same problem with my retreat. Your Majesty, why don't we face it together?"
This time, Cohen was silent. After a long time, Emperor Sibia made up his mind, "Okay! Hand over all your military rations, then retreat, and I will give you Silver Frost Castle."
"Why should we hand over military rations?"
"How can I rest assured if I don't hand over the army rations? Prince, what will you do if you pursue my troops?"
"Your Majesty is too suspicious." The prince smiled, "What will your Majesty do if you use these rations to pursue me?"
"Then poison the rations, burn them, and sprinkle them into the water." Emperor Sibia had a lot of bad ideas. "As soon as the rations are gone, everyone retreats. In twenty days, Silver Frost Castle will be yours."
"Your Majesty is so courageous." The prince gave a high-five and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty is not afraid that I will continue to attack in twenty days?"
"Of course it's a good thing that the prince has such confidence." Emperor Sibia laughed loudly, and walked back as soon as he led the horse. "If you have a good mood, the prince can come, and I will prepare the best wine to wait for you!"
Prince Ulysses also smiled, turned his horse's head, and returned to the formation with his son.
That night, the Divine Alliance handed over most of their rations, which were burned by Sibia's army, with thick smoke billowing out and covering the sky.
There was a little accident during the whole process of burning the army rations, and the little disputes never ended, because the unreasonable Sibia Army soldiers would move some food away before burning it, and set up a big pot to cook it next to it. It was obvious that
The Divine Alliance Army is heartbroken and itchy...
However, when it comes to fighting and causing trouble, who is the opponent of Sibia's army? So, in the retreat queue of the God's Allied Forces early the next morning, there were nearly a thousand more lightly wounded soldiers with bruises and swollen faces.
The prince just laughed at these things, ignored them completely, and commanded the troops to retreat wholeheartedly.
Retreating is not an easy task. It is even more difficult than advancing. Especially with the tiger Sibia behind you, the divine coalition forces need to be more cautious. While calling for reinforcements to slowly move closer to him, the prince ordered
Logistics sent enough food to ensure daily consumption during the retreat; in the process of arranging the retreat of troops in stages and batches, some troops that no longer had much combat effectiveness were streamlined and eliminated.
Such behavior made the middle-level generals of the Divine Alliance Army full of doubts, especially the generals of other empires. They almost pointed at the prince's nose and scolded him for his ulterior motives in excluding dissenters. However, the prince suppressed this behavior with an extremely tough attitude, uncharacteristically.
There was a turmoil, and a few days later, many middle-level generals wrote to the temple, reporting the prince's unusual behavior...
That night, the prince's son, who had not recovered from his serious injury and was just able to walk, came to his father's tent. As a son, the young man felt that he had the responsibility to remind his father of something.
"Coming?" Prince Ulysses looked at the map in his hand, and did not show any surprise at his son's arrival. He just pointed to a row of stools next to him, "Your injury is not healed yet, sit down!"
Seeing the gray on his father's temples, the son couldn't bear it, so he slowed down what he was going to say to question his father - he didn't know that it was this delay that greatly improved his status in his father's mind.
"My body is injured, but my head is not. I thought you couldn't understand my father's plan this time." The prince raised his head and looked at his son, "His face is still very bad. It seems that you won't be able to make it this time.
What's the strength?"
The son was a little confused and hesitated to speak.
"Don't be stubborn, your body is not suitable for running around."
Just as the son was about to ask what was going on, announcements were heard one after another outside the tent, and the commanders of each legion filed in, all dressed in military uniforms with murderous looks on their faces. After saying hello to the prince, they all sat down one by one.
"Everyone, I won't say much else." After everyone had almost arrived, the prince asked in a deep voice: "Are the troops ready?"
A general stood up and replied: "Reporting to the prince, all the troops have been prepared!"
"What about the actions of Sibia's army?" the prince asked again.
Another general replied: "Sbia's army is in the process of evacuating, and part of it has already left along the waterway."
"Okay! It's in line with my king's plan. They are in the middle of the retreat, when their defenses are at their weakest." The prince inspected his subordinates, "For this battle, I asked all the troops to advance quickly, not to care about anything, and to arrive on time.
Predetermine the location, surround Sibia's army and annihilate them all! Anyone who delays the opportunity will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
"The flanking troops have received orders from my king and will provide strong support during your operations!"
"yes!"
"You all return to your headquarters, execute the battle plan given to you before, and set off immediately!"
"yes!"
The commanders who received the order were about to get up and leave when there was a burst of urgent footsteps outside the tent.
After half a breath, a messenger rolled into the tent and cried: "Prince! Our two flanking troops were attacked by Sibia's army. They are all finished!"
"Nonsense!" The prince snapped, his eyes wide open, "The two flanks add up to 300,000 yuan, how can Sibia afford it?"
"Their commander...has died in the line of duty..." The messenger shivered in fear, "My head, my head was snatched back...
""The whole army..." The prince felt dizzy and couldn't help but press the table with both hands, "Deploy defense!"
Outside the camp of the God's Allied Forces, the dark and dense Sibia Army has begun to close the encirclement, with bright red battle flags flying high...
"Report to His Majesty the Emperor that the Mountain Dwarf United Army is in place!"
"Report to His Majesty the Emperor that the tribes are reuniting and the combined army is in place!"
"Report to His Majesty the Emperor that the special mixed flying group is in place!"
"Report to His Majesty the Emperor that the magician mixed brigade is in place!"
"Report to His Majesty the Emperor that the First Slave United Legion is in place!"
"Report to His Majesty the Emperor that the Elf Wolf Cavalry Corps is in place!"
"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, General Martin Luther's injuries worsened and he died in the line of duty..."
Emperor Sbia, who was in black clothes and armor, took the black iron sword with only the handle left from the secretary, held it tightly in his hand, and looked at the divine coalition camp on the horizon with an unusually low voice.
