Chapter 581 Divine Empire

It really doesn't need anyone else's comparison. On the current territory of the Yavia mainland, there are only half of the sacred empires and half of the fortress empires, and the rest of the places are all divided by the Holy Sword and Sofia.

With the destruction weapon in his hand, Arcado couldn't wait to take his steps to dominate the world. After some preparation, the Holy Sword Empire was ready to fight against the Holy Empire, which was struggling under the iron hooves of the Sofia Empire.

On January 11, Gregorian calendar, in the light rain, Arcado's plane slowly landed at Koch City Airport. He would personally command his central cluster and sharpen his knife to prepare to attack the Holy Empire.

Leon Barton has been transferred to the northern line to fight against more and more puppet troops, and most of the main forces of the Holy Empire have also begun to move north. Although the whole southern defense line still has nearly 1.7 million troops, most of the troops can only be regarded as second-rate players.

However, the commander of this unit and Arcado have deep childhood feelings! Yes, the commander of this army is General John, the grandson of Archbishop Sloc.

According to the analysis of the staff headquarters of the Sword Empire, the Sword Empire has many advantages in declaring war directly against the Holy Empire and attacking Kial, which is also the reason why Arcado did not transfer his troops to the Elf Forest and bypass the heavy defense lines such as Cial.

First of all, there is a complete road and railway transportation system behind the central cluster of the Holy Sword Empire. The airport construction has been completed, and the waterway can reach Kochi through the Dorfoss River. Such a perfect logistics transportation support is not available in the Elf Forest. If you mobilize troops to the Elf Forest, it will definitely outweigh the gains.

Secondly, the Holy Sword Empire built many roads in the territory of the Holy Empire with the secretly support of merchants. These roads are the product of the Holy Empire's economic development and will also become the advance guarantee of the mechanized army of the Holy Sword Empire in wartime. Once the defense line near Kayar is broken, the tanks of the Sword Empire will advance quickly on these roads. The army of the Sword Empire has been fighting against the opponent's backward infrastructure when attacking, and now it can finally take advantage of the opponent's infrastructure.

In addition, the decisive battle here is closer to the industrial zone of the Holy Sword Empire, and the ammunition replenished by the army is more timely and sufficient. It has mechanized advantages and overwhelming power in all aspects such as magic cannons. The army of the Sword Empire believes that it has the ability to tear open any defense line.

In addition, the Sword Empire summarized the problems in the Battle of Kowloon City and carefully deployed street battles and melee training. The generals of the Sword Empire believed that they would not fall into the enemy's war of attrition again. They were confident that they would turn the Battle of Cayar into a fast-moving blitz to avoid mass casualties. .

Finally, Arcado is more inclined to fight directly against the Holy Empire. He wants to personally defeat John as an enemy head-on and put an end to his humiliation when he was young.

Even if there are no first four reasons above, as long as Arcado says the fifth reason, the army of the Holy Sword Empire will definitely hit all the magic cannonballs on John's head. The reason why His Majesty the Emperor of the Sword Empire wants revenge is simply an order!

As soon as Arcado said at the meeting that he had a grudge against the other generals, several generals suggested that the 13th Army of the Orc Empire be transferred back to the central region from the east. They think it will be more convenient to attack with orc troops. These generals think that this can save a lot of material, because orc troops like to replenish food in place, especially for wolf knight mounts. Alex* even vaguely asked several generals of the staff headquarters if they wanted to be captured at the war meeting.

The central cluster has been preparing for this battle for nearly a year. Barker's 4th Army and the 12th Army are responsible for attacking the Kayar region, while Gurian's 9th Army and Alex's 8th Army follow up. Arcado is expected to hit the puppet troops near the holy city of Caen, so he hopes that his main force will remain rotating and enter the battle, so that he can play the key Rest in time.

In terms of the Elf Forest, the 11th Army and the 17th Army are ready. These two troops will launch a flank attack on the north of the Bello Mountains. The two armies will attack the Holy Empire troops deployed in Gustav to ensure a perfect victory in the battle of Kair.

The 4th Armored Division of the Sword Empire will launch an attack from the east of the province of Kayal Province, tearing up the Kayal defense line and rushing directly to science, annihilating the Holy Empire forces in South Kato Province, controlling there and attacking the City of God, where they will join the 17th Army of the Holy Empire from North Belo Province.

The 12th Army has more infantry, so it is responsible for launching an attack on the west side of Kayal Province. They will attack the Gustav Line to the west and occupy Gustav Fortress. General Hawk's 11th Army of the Empire attacked Brandy City, attracting the troops deployed by the Holy Empire in the Holy City to move west, preventing them from entering the battle area south and completely isolated John's troops in the south of the Holy Empire.

For this grand offensive plan, the Holy Sword Empire concentrated 290,000 troops of the 4th Army, 270,000 troops of the 12th Army, 320,000 people of the 8th Army, 260,000 people of the 9th Army, 240,000 people of the 17th Army and 310,000 of the 11th Army. Counting the logistics forces such as railway transportation, there are a total of 1.75 million troops.

The Holy Empire has about 1.64 million troops deployed in the south, about 400,000 troops in the holy city of Caen, and about 630,000 troops near Bailan, with a total force of nearly 2.7 million.

The proportion of heavy weapons such as magic cannons is 11,000 against the Holy Sword Empire. The Sword Empire has more than 7,000 tanks and armored vehicles and more than 19,000 trucks, while the Holy Empire has only more than 500 trucks, and the two sides are not at the same order of magnitude.

After careful deployment, the 17th Army took the lead in launching an attack and began to intensively shell the border of the Northern Bello Province of the Holy Empire. The war between the Holy Sword Empire and the Sofia Empire to divide the Holy Empire began.

North Belo Province was fiercely attacked, and the imperial and opposition were shocked. About 300,000 reserves in John's southern defense zone were forced to move westward. The strategic purpose of the Sword Empire to mobilize the enemy's army had been achieved, and the large-scale Battle of Cayar then began.

In the early morning of January 13, 6 of the Gregorian calendar, the 4th Army of the Holy Sword Empire attacked Kayar and tore open the first line of defense of the Holy Empire garrison within an hour.

At the same time, the 12th Army stormed the Gustav Line, and the decisive battle between the Holy Sword Empire and the Holy Empire began in full swing.
