chapter Ten

The current dividing line between gods and demons is very different from that of a few years ago. This is because it is actually the territory of the Sbia Empire, and the various tribes living on it have a high regard for their new masters.

Because of their loyalty and the fact that tribal residents do not have high requirements for life, having food, drink and not dying is the happiness of the masses, so there are almost no obstacles in building things.

While Cohen and the demon army were fighting each other, the construction here was in full swing. The criss-crossing road system had begun to take shape, and the population was gradually flowing into reasonably distributed towns - which were not actually towns, but

It is a military garrison point. People pass here to turn to various provinces of Sbia, including the two special provinces of Camp and Wells.

In the Hengdao plan, the dividing line area between gods and demons exists as the most important strategic base. The dozen or so military bases established in advance are fully capable. In addition, the huge military bases secretly built in the forest since the war between gods and demons

Logistics production base, this piece of land is becoming more and more important, and it has become its own key position. The reason why Sibia's battle against demons can be hidden from everyone is that the production base here is providing logistical support. There is no

Use a piece of bread native to Sibia.

The use of this confidential logistics base is the fundamental reason why Cohen appointed Layton Lorenzo as the general logistics supervisor.

On the outskirts of the Land of Sleep, in a militarized camp hidden deep in the dense forest, the real leaders of the Sbia Empire are working. There is a row of simple tree houses, which house the imperial concubine, the Prime Minister, the General Staff, etc.

The office of a powerful figure. This arrangement of relocating internal affairs is one of the prerequisites for the implementation of the Hengdao Plan and is a very effective means of prevention.

"...The assassination scandal in the Holy City has finally disappeared under the strong suppression of the Guards and the Liaison Department. Mr. Crow and the others have found more than 400 killers, all of whom have been lurking in the Holy City in the past few years.

Yes, the Black Skull and Bones Society is really insane and insane!" In the imperial concubine's tree house, the tired-looking Prime Minister was looking at the report in his hand and relayed its contents to the first imperial concubine, "The losses of senior officials of our empire are huge.

It’s serious. Two first-level ministers, five second-level ministers, and seventeen third-level ministers were killed. Three provincial governors and eight department managers were seriously injured... Our protection of ministers is still not enough!"

"After all, this storm has finally passed, and my mother and sisters are all safe, so my father doesn't have to worry." Feline, who was lying on the soft chair, replied: "Cohen has news coming back every day, and the battle on the front line is going on.

It's going well, we have started to retreat."

"There is also a report from the Commander-in-Chief of the Guards, saying that the Variation Plan is being carried out to support the expeditionary force. In more than a month, we will be able to see Cohen." At this point, the Prime Minister's face looked slightly relieved, "Your

How have you been doing these past two days?"

"The calf has been completely paralyzed, but it has not spread upwards." When talking about her condition, the first princess's face did not show the melancholy that a patient should have. "So many people have suffered and are busy with my condition every day.

I’m so sorry!”

"It's a good thing that it doesn't continue to spread! No matter what the cost, we will cure you." The Prime Minister nodded, "You rest first, I will go out to deal with something."

"Father, please go away." Feilin reluctantly straightened her upper body and saluted. When Weisu went out and was about to lie down, her heart skipped a beat and her face changed a little.

"What happened?" Bai Ying on the side noticed and came over to check Feilin's condition, "What's wrong?"

"It's not my body, it's just that I suddenly felt flustered..." Feilin shook her head, her breath was a little short, and she lowered her head and thought for a while, "Isn't it because Cohen encountered some trouble?"

"No one can guarantee it. After all, we are at war." Bai Ying rarely saw Feilin in such a helpless state, so he lowered his tone and said, "Whoever wants to take advantage of him must first shed a layer of his skin.

Right? Don’t worry, I’ll go ask for news about him right away.”

"Thank you." Feilin nodded, but the feeling of fear and uneasiness in her heart did not dissipate much, and her face became paler.

"Follow up, follow closely!" A Sibia Expeditionary Force officer wearing a one-piece cavalry armor stood on the side of the road, loudly scolding the soldiers passing in front of him, "Speed ​​up! It's gone!

No one from the team will wait for him!"

Riding on the captured war horses, the soldiers of the expeditionary force had reached the highest speed, but the officers were obviously not satisfied yet. Because the order specified a time limit, every bit of delay would accumulate and be detrimental to the war.

Influence.

On a hilltop by the roadside, His Majesty Cohen, wearing black armor and a silver cape, was stationed at the top of the hill. Next to him, the general liaison officer Marfa was also in military uniform. The two of them were discussing the war while watching the formation of the expeditionary force.

The torrent rolled by - Cohen would not drive the troops on such a rapid march unless there was an emergency, but the current situation was a bit unfavorable.

In the first few days after the burning of Foxburg, the troop's retreat by boat went smoothly, but the demonic coalition soon followed and surrounded the expeditionary force. Cohen ordered the troops to land in batches, and finally let the air fleet attract

The enemy took notice and changed direction from the land route, gaining two days.

However, the troops led by Lieutenant General Farmer followed soon after, hanging behind the expeditionary force. The distance was about three days' journey.

It was not pleasant to be followed by such an army. In order to get rid of it, Cohen had tried various methods. Rushing, snaking, turning around suddenly, setting traps and ambushes, etc., but none of them worked. Lieutenant General Farmer's resilience, and his

His ability to control the troops was outstanding, and he stayed firmly behind the expeditionary force without being impatient or angry.

Ten days had passed since the retreat of the expeditionary force. At the moment before the retreat, the Spea Guards, which had been on the defensive, launched the "Variations Operation" with great momentum, splitting into two groups from Camp and Wells.

Launched a fierce counterattack. At present, it has successfully broken through the key defense network of the Demon Alliance and opened a safe passage. The expeditionary force failed to escape from Lieutenant General Farmer within these ten days. Now it can only increase its speed to rendezvous with the Guards as soon as possible.

Because the mission of the expeditionary force is to raid and attack, strategically avoiding tasks such as defense, strictly speaking, the overall composition is uncoordinated. The elites drawn from various legions make the expeditionary force an extremely sharp spear that can tear apart

Although the strong defense is broken, its own protective ability is low. With such an army facing Swyth and Gironde, there are inherent shortcomings. Therefore, Cohen's first task now is to join the Guards——

The Guards at this time were an extremely strong shield.

Only then can we have enough energy to take care of Lieutenant General Gironde and Lieutenant General Swice Hepburn who are hiding in the dark.

"The entire area is under the control of the intelligence system, so the problem shouldn't be big. It's just that the demonic troops behind us don't have the ability to eat us." Mafa said: "Your Majesty, what are you still worried about?

"

"It's not a worry, but a pity." Cohen shook his head, "You see, so far, half of the Hengdao plan that targets demons has been completed by the expeditionary force, right?"

"Yes."

"If it weren't for the demonic coalition and the divine coalition attacking us at the same time, we wouldn't have rushed to respond. Then, our war preparations would have been completed." Cohen sighed, "Two ocean-going fleets, carrying six legions of expeditions

Army, cut the Demon Alliance into three pieces, and destroy it in one battle! This is my original intention when making this plan. It is not just like destroying some workshops and burning some warehouses like now. Next time, they will

You should be prepared."

"Times are changing, boss, you will definitely come up with new tactics in the next war." Speaking of this, Mafa also felt a little regretful, "I'm a little confused, chasing is not Gironde's strong point, why should it be him?

Are you here to pursue me? If you are hanging far behind, you seem to be waiting for something."

"What else can he wait for?" Cohen smiled, "Of course, waiting for Lieutenant General Sweeney Hepburn to show up."

"Where will he show up?"

"Of course it appeared when we were about to rendezvous with the Guards or just before." Cohen said: "Swiss must have roughly calculated our rendezvous location, and the troops he personally led must have been hidden nearby in advance. But there was no such thing.

I think we have three choices for our meeting point, so I can't make a final judgment. I can only follow us and take it step by step."

"So boss, what's your response?"

"These are a few moves for the Guards to complete. It's time to send them out." Cohen handed Marfa a piece of paper, "You said, after we captured Lieutenant General Swice and Lieutenant General Girondt, what happened?

Should I kill them to sacrifice the flag, or should I keep them and exchange them for gold coins?"

In a short time, this order was passed to Lieutenant General Helter, the commander of the Sbia Guards several hundred miles away. He laughed and thrust the read order into the hands of the General Logistics Supervisor, "My

Secretary, Your Majesty has chosen a good place to have a big fight with the demon alliance. It will cost nearly 70,000 people to eat and drink, so there must be no mistakes in the logistics materials you have prepared."

"It has been prepared for a long time!" After reading the order, the former royal clerk replied calmly: "Please call me Major General Leiden Lorenzo!"

"Who said you were a civilian? If you want me to call you Major General, you have to show your ability to fight this battle yourself!" Haiert didn't take it seriously. Before the general logistics supervisor objected again, he said to his subordinates a few times.

A general asked a question: "His Majesty the Emperor is not satisfied with the three selected rendezvous points and has activated the backup rendezvous point. What do you think?"

"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor wants to have a fight during the rendezvous!"

"This location is closest to His Majesty the Emperor and is the most suitable choice for His Majesty. There is no problem with the ship."

"There is no problem with our preparations. After the troops make the assault, they still have one to two days of rest and recuperation."

"Okay, let's do it!" Haiert slapped the table, "Order the front army to turn around and advance towards Chase City on the banks of the Blue Water River!"

"Report, sir!" In the temporary camp of the Demon Alliance, the intelligence officer ran over with a military report, panting and came to Lieutenant General Swice Hepburn, "Sir, the Sibia Expeditionary Force and the Guards have adjusted their positions at the same time.

The way forward!”

Lieutenant General Swice stood up and pressed the military report on the map. A group of staff officers around him surrounded him with a "hurrah".

"Well, as we expected, the meeting point they selected is within our ambush area." Lieutenant General Siwes moved his fingers on the map and made the final determination of the direction of Sbia's army.

, with a confident smile on his lips, he said: "Chase City by the Blue Water River is a good place. It's finally time for a showdown."

"Lanshui River? Chase City?" The general staff officer frowned, "Is it a city that is divided into northern and southern halves across the river?"

"Yes, this city is the most unique on the Blue Water River. The river is very wide and divides the city into two halves. There are no bridges nearby, and only ferries can provide round-trip services." Lieutenant General Siwes nodded and said, "I

I have been there before when I was traveling. The city is surrounded by flat fields with not many but dense woods. There are very few changes that can be used in combat, so it is a good place for a decisive battle in the field."

"It seems that Cohen Keda has chosen this place as a battlefield?" the general staff officer thought, "hasn't he always avoided field battles? Why did he brave the difficulties this time?"

"Because he couldn't guess our arrangements." Lieutenant General Siwes said: "The intelligence was insufficient and the situation was unclear, so he chose this location where no one could play tricks. Although it was safe, it also put Si Bisi in the runner-up position.

The fickle style limits it.”

"Thanks to the intelligence personnel trained by you, we were able to hide it from the enemy. The large ambush of our 170,000 troops actually escaped the Sibians, who are always good at intelligence, from noticing. This alone gives us an advantage."

General Staff Officer Lao Huai was greatly comforted: "Not to mention disguising a large number of troops as besieging local armed forces and placing them behind the people of Sibia. Such an arrangement can be accomplished by extraordinary people. In the end, the number of ferries was used to control Sibia.

When a demi-human crosses the river, this move is really exquisite!"

"The Sibyans are not completely unaware of our army's ambush." ​​Lieutenant General Siwes shook his head, "It's the lesser of two powers that harm each other. Cohen Keda has no choice. He chose this city.

It means avoiding the sharp edge of our army."

"Then what is our basic attack strategy?"

"Collect the net first, and wait until they begin to cross the river before we can launch an attack." Lieutenant General Swice said: "The general strategy is to attack the enemy on one side first to cause them to fall into chaos, and also to attack the enemy on the other side.

Use the rescue time, and then use surprise troops to surround and annihilate the weak side... In this way, the battle situation will become very clear. There should be some adjustments in the specific implementation, so commanders at all levels should personally visit the front line to command."

"At this moment, the Sibia Guards are on the north bank, and the expeditionary force is on the south bank. They can be seen but not touched, and they cannot look at each other..."

"Has the order of each assault wave been arranged?"

"It has been completed and has been issued! Please issue the order!"

"Pass my order. The troops on the north bank will continue to lurk. No matter how close the Sibia people are, they cannot be exposed. Once you get the order, they will immediately move closer to me and cut off the Sibia people's escape route!" Lieutenant General Swice said.

The leader ordered, "The troops on the south bank took action one after another, under the command of Lieutenant General Gironde, and formed a tendency to expel the Sbia Expeditionary Force. They must be forced to flee without any chance of respite."

"yes!"

"Everything that remains depends on our efforts." At the end, Lieutenant General Swice raised his voice and said to the generals present: "We paid a heavy price to allow Korn Keda and his army to enter.

In our ambush circle. If you can capture Cohen Keda alive, what regrets do you have in your life? You need to show your military courage to fight this battle! You are worthy of the demonic land that gave birth to me and raised me!"

"I am willing to follow the Lieutenant General and make further achievements!"

On both sides of the Blue Water River, countless troops are moving continuously. They follow the orders of their superiors and their unpredictable fate, sweating profusely, walking in a hurry, climbing over hills and crossing ditches... Soldiers from the two camps

With their flesh and blood, they drew a huge, increasingly clear whirlpool. In the center of the whirlpool was the inconspicuous city of Chase.

At this time, everything inside and outside Chase City was still peaceful. More than 300,000 residents who had lived here for generations still relied on a blue river for their lives. Except for the intelligence personnel of the two armies, no one knew about this unknown city.

The city in which they are fighting has been designated by the two armies as the place for a decisive battle! (To be continued)
