Chapter 108 The Second Battle of Lovik

"Report to your excellency, Lovik Province is ahead." A small officer came forward to report.

Behind him, the royal flag of the fortress empire fluttering in the wind, and the soldiers have changed into new helmets to distinguish between the soldiers of the Holy Empire and their own people. They are not as good as Adams. The rich Adams has all changed their armor styles. Although it is not beautiful, it is more obvious.

The huge army that has been winding for several kilometers proves that this is a large army with a considerable number of people. The commander of this army is Frank, the number one general under Paulson, the emperor of the fortress empire. He is brave and tenacious in combat and has rich combat experience. He was ordered to command the Eastern Expedition to take over the surrounding areas of Lovik. Proudly, he is now riding on a gale, looking at his troops not far away.

"Very well, order the whole army to camp and wait for our friendly troops to come and attack Lovik Province together." Frank ordered. Then there were shouts everywhere, and the whole army stopped moving and began to camp and cook.

"My lord, do we really cooperate with Adams' profiteers? Those people's way of going back is their usual tricks.

"You told me that there is nothing I can do. This is the above decision. Can I still disobey the order?" Frank smiled softly and then muttered in a low voice, "Go back on your word? What I'm waiting for is for them to go back on their back!"

"Your Excellency, we stormed the city of Haka. We were half tired and injured, and many soldiers took it down. Their Adams bastards are good. They attacked the far north province, where there was almost no garrison at all, and the whole province surrendered almost without resistance. What a motherly unfair!" An officer complained.

"Oak, don't complain, where is Haka City? If it were you in the bitter cold land of the far north province, would you go?" Frank said with a smile, and the military schools next to him laughed.

"That's what the adults said. That shabby place really doesn't have a comfortable road." The complaining officer also scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.

The group was laughing, and a messenger came from afar, holding a sealed letter in his hand.

"Your Excellency, Commander Adams sent a messenger with a handwritten letter from the old general Griffitz." He came closer and knelt on one knee and said.

"Ret." Frank said casually, with a contempt on his face.

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Fortress Empire, we have received an accurate report from within the territory of the enemy that an enemy army of about 100,000 people has passed the Meilan River yesterday and is gathering in Vito, the capital of Lovik. I hope you can prepare as soon as possible. Marshal Griffitz of the Adams Empire.

"Well, I personally led 150,000 troops, and the Adams Empire claimed to have raised 200,000 troops. Such a huge coalition army, are you afraid of 100,000 sacred imperial troops? Joke!" Frank laughed and said, "Tell Adams' cowards to get away for fear of death and watch me win the Holy Empire in a few days." As soon as he said this, the generals behind him laughed.

However, the prospects of the army of this fortress empire are not optimistic. They rushed all the way to grab several provinces in front of Adams, which made them tired now. Many soldiers in the army would faint while walking, and the collected carriages were full of soldiers who were unwilling to take another step.

Frank is so arrogant for a reason. He has a new weapon called crossbows bought from the Elf Forest. Although the range is not far from bows and arrows, it is faster to load, more simple to aim, and easier to train and use. Most importantly, this Weapons are more accurate.

At the same time, the old marshal Griffizi was carefully arranging his army in his tent. This time, he commanded a total of 200,000 troops, but most of them were new recruits. These people who were still farmers and slaves a few days ago were gathered and distributed weapons. All their armor became Ge. The army in Rifiz's hands has little combat effectiveness.

This made the veteran Griffith very embarrassed. He relied on the number of people to surrender in the far north province, but he could not rely on the number of people to frighten off the Holy Empire's army's counterattack, so he could only train the team while walking, put the veterans into the recruits, and a large number of promoted officers to stabilize the army's heart. Countless trivial things are about to make this year Nearly 70 old generals drove him crazy.

These days, this army with no combat effectiveness has been reluctantly trained into a similar army. At least under the smooth situation, this army still has a certain combat effectiveness and has the generous help of Adams chaebols. This army has a considerable amount of military money as a means of rewarding subordinates. To a certain extent, it makes up for the lack of combat effectiveness.

"Order the most elite to rebuild the 23rd Legion to move south, move closer to the friendly troops of the fortress empire, warn the commander of the 23rd Legion, tell him to be careful of the fortress empire, and the new 1st 2nd Legion to cover the flank of the 23rd Legion, and the 3rd Legion, as the vanguard of the whole army, advance to the east, and after discovering the Holy Empire troops To fight, they will stay in place and wait for reinforcements, and then build a new 43rd Cavalry Regiment to respond. The rest of the legions will follow our marshal's headquarters. After giving the order, the old marshal Griffith sat back in the chair and gently closed his eyes.

In terms of the Holy Empire, the commander of the General Legion of Bouken sat in Leonard, the capital of Badoch Province. He ordered his veteran Brown to guard the Thor Fortress, and ordered the commander of the 11th Infantry Legion loyal to the Holy Empire to personally lead 100,000 troops, including the 11th Legion, to pass through the Melan River and enter Lovi. In the east of Kexing Province, more than 70,000 troops of this 100,000 Holy Empire are temporarily formed, with the quality of Adams' army, but the rest of the troops are all elites for the rest of their lives. The 11th Army, which is brave and good at fighting, is also a famous brigade within the Holy Empire, so this army's combat ability is still very strong. Tough.

But this army was exhausted. They rushed from Caen to Haka City, attacked the Adams rebels at that time, and then participated in the battle in Nokan City. Then they rushed thousands of miles to help Thor Fortress without rest. They just annihilated the Eternal Night Empire in a fierce battle under the Thor Fortress. The Rosefinch Army now has to turn back again and rush back to the Lovik area to continue the battle.

The soldiers in the army dragged long swords and long guns and drove on the road in groups. The officers led the horses that could no longer run and staggered behind their own soldiers. Many soldiers had thrown bedding and blankets for sleeping on the road of an unknown march, occasionally piled up on a stolen carriage. Full of tents and weapons, many soldiers collapsed on the roadside, allowing the officers to order them to no longer get up and hurry.

The three armies began to concentrate in the Lovik area. In an instant, the Lovik area was cloudy again. The local people looked at the troops that had driven from their homes, and their mood also became heavy. In the chaos, the harvest of food and their own security, this There is no guarantee for all of them, gods, when will such a tragic day end?
