Chapter 110 Dog Bites Dog
Claude, the capital of the Adams Empire, is holding an emergency meeting, and the content of the meeting is strictly confidential.
"If we are treacherous and take the lead in launching an attack, who will cooperate with us in the future?" Archbishop Clark took the lead.
"The army is not ready. If we insist on attacking, it is very likely that we will lose the war." Cyril, as the highest military representative present, said that his boss Griffizis was fighting bravely on the distant Lovik front.
"We have received the news that an army of the fortress empire is gathering in the province of Danbar in the upper reaches of the West dock River, which is likely to be a dangerous signal." Adams' chief intelligence officer said.
"Aren't our cavalry also gathering in the direction of Cana? What's the fuss about this?" Cyril said with a smile.
"General Cyril, our troops are gathered because I want to launch a pre-emptive sneak attack. They gather their troops unless the purpose is the same as ours!" Another general said that he was the commander-in-chief of the defense army left in Adams.
"Quiet, I'll decide!" Claude said. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stood up and looked at his emperor.
"I decided to order Marshal Griffitz to take the lead in launching an attack, defeating the troops of the fortress empire and occupying the Lovik region, and the Adams Empire will eventually unify the Asian continent." Emperor Claude said majestically.
"H Long live Adams!" Everyone here shouted.
Almost at the same time, in Molink, the capital of the fortress empire, a horse rushed out of the city, and the horse's messenger kept urging his ** mount. He was ordered to send a top-secret letter to the Lovik front line and hand it to General Frank, who had just won the victory of Lovik. This top-secret handwritten letter was the emperor His Majesty Paulson wrote it himself and repeatedly emphasized the importance when giving it to the messenger.
The messenger did not know the content of the letter, because it was an order ordering General Frank, the commander-in-chief of the Lovik region of the fortress empire, to launch a sudden attack on his ally Adams Empire, annihilating all Griffez's troops and completely occupying Lovik.
The two almost identical letters said that the goals were completely opposite. Before the two empires had time to eliminate the remnants of the Holy Empire in the Lovik region, the front-line commanders of the two countries received orders from the base camp almost at the same time, so in 36179, the Holy Emperor On February 10, 1575, a half-year-long war between the Adams Empire and the Fortress Empire, known as the Battle of Mad Dogs, broke out.
At the beginning, the fortress empire had a comprehensive advantage. The fortress empire with the benefits of crossbows defeated the Adams Empire, which was full of new recruits, but soon Marshal Griffith, the old general of the Adams Empire, found a way to deal with crossbows, that is, he also began to imitate crossbows. The Adams Empire through itself The huge network of merchants smuggled a batch of crossbows from the arms dealers of Rome Island arms dealers in the small town on the edge of the Elf Forest, and then began to imitate a large number of imitations. Although the weapon performance is poor, it can be compensated by quantity. A large number of inferior crossbows are equipped with troops to save the lost advantages and morale.
Seeing the Adams Empire save the disadvantages little by little, Frank, the front-line commander-in-chief of the fortress empire, came up with a trick to preserve his advantage. He began to let the defenders rob * rob them to improve morale and gather military money. His troops began to equip on a large scale. The original crossbows of Rome Island (in fact, most of them have been produced from the forest of elves), which gives the fortress empire another advantage on the front battlefield.
The inferior Adams Empire did not expect that the fortress empire would drink poison to quench its thirst, and actually reverse the war situation by killing chickens to get eggs. Forced by the war situation, Marshal Griffitz also ordered to collect army food and soldiers on the spot later. The decisive battle between the two sides turned into a robbery. For a while in the Lovik region, chicken flew away. Dog jumping. Although both sides have good reasons to do so, it has undoubtedly lost the hearts of millions of civilians in the Lovik region.
The already miserable people of Lovik began to look forward to the counterattack of the army of the Holy Empire, and the remnants of the 11th Army of the Holy Empire, which were stationed near Victoria, were resting and waiting for them to appear on the stage again.
Sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, the commander-General of Baoken, who was watching the play far away in Leonard City, is leisurely writing a report to the Pope's Hall, in which he described the failure of the Lovik region as a trap set up by taking advantage of the contradictions between the fortress empire and the Adams Empire. This exvicted letter also bought more rest time for the remnants of the Holy Imperial Army in Vido.
When the Holy Empire learned of the failure of the Lovik region, Pope Chris overturned the table in front of him, but the ensuing scuffle of the two rebels made the annoyed majesty immediately order a banquet to celebrate the victory of the Lovik side. He would also rather accept that this defeat was a trick than undertake The empire has completely lost the ability to suppress the two rebels.
Also with the news of the defeat reaching São Caen, and the news that the 11th Army encountered new weapons in the attack, which arrived almost at the same time as the crossbows presented by Leon Barton to the Holy City. This new weapon from Rome Island immediately made the Pope rejoice. He now enhances every military power Methods are regarded as life-saving straws.
The final result of this incident is that the aggrieved financial archbishop Sloc was forced to vacate 300,000 gold coins again to buy about 50,000 crossbows and 200,000 arrows from Rome Island. However, to Leon Barton's anger, these crossbows were required to be shipped directly to the sacred imperial troops assigned to various places in the Holy City, rather than directly to the southeast front line that was about to usher in a bitter battle.
Romai Island has become the object of several warring countries to win over, and the Elf Forest has also become an absolute authoritative existence, because there is news that the Elf Forest has been equipped with about 300,000 good wood-customized crossbows with the help of Romey Island, which makes all the authorities in the human world afraid.
An interesting thing happened this year. Paulson, the emperor of the fortress empire, who had never met Arcado from beginning to end, announced the canonization of Rudolf Arcado, the lord of Rome Island, as the Marquis of the fortress empire. A few days later, just as people began to prepare for the New Year, Clark, the archbishop of the Adams Empire, announced for the emperor of the Adams Empire that Rudolf Arcado, the owner of Rome Island, was an honorary citizen of Adams and couldonized him as the Marquis of Rudolph, and claimed that Arcado was a noble merchant who would always be protected by Adams' supreme protector. People. What's more funny is that on the New Year's Day of this year, His Royal Highness Pope Chris personally gave a New Year's ceremony for the Marquis Rudolph Arcado, who was far away on Rome Island, declaring that Rudolph Arcado would always be blessed by the gods.
Soon after, Rudolf Arcado's name began to spread widely and become a household name, even in the northernmost part of the continent of Yavia.
