Chapter 474 Griffizi's Helplessness

When the Sword Empire opened its territory all the way, the Sofia Empire was not idle. Brown commanded his puppet army to attack Meilan Province all the way, and the Sofia Empire and the Adams Empire started a full-scale war.

Adams suffered a fiasco in Merlan Province, and the whole northern province was in an emergency. The Sofia Empire broke through the thorns and captured the capital of the far north. Cyril was beaten and abandoned and fled back to Doroar.

Emperor Claude had no choice but to order the steady Marshal General Griffitz of the Adams Empire to personally lead the urgently expanded 30 recruits and 200,000 main troops to fight against Brown's puppet army.

Griffizi, who is experienced in defensive operations, immediately deployed his combat plan. In the far north, he invested a small number of elite troops to slow down the opponent's attack, but did not fight against Brown. A large number of recruits were not sent to the battlefield, and they stayed in Nocan to strengthen the defense line there.

The reason why the decisive battlefield was not located in the far north province. It is because experienced Griffith knew that once his troops were trapped by the puppet army of the Sophia Empire, the Holy Empire and the Fortress Empire would definitely fall into the well. At that time, his troops would be attacked by the enemy and be eaten by the puppet empire.

On June 17 of the Gregorian calendar, all the provinces in the far north were occupied by the Sofia Empire. Puppet troops began to attack Bia Province, and puppet scouts also appeared in the woodland of the border area of Dolan Province.

Cyril was ordered to fully deploy the Dolan defense line, and the remaining 180,000 main troops in Griffitz's hands were transferred 100,000. With the newly recruited 300,000 new recruits, they guarded the Dolan border, where there was mud and jungle cover, and the defense line was stabilized.

Griffizi, who lacked troops in his hand, had no choice but to give up the northern part of Bia Province again. The army of the Sofia Empire was invincible, and the Adams occupied area of Bia Province became the territory of the Sophia Empire.

The Adams Imperial Army, which retreated on the front line, did not do nothing. 300,000 new recruits received systematic military training in Nocan and strengthened the Nocan defense line, where they set up 40 independent forts and deployed 500 magic cannons.

Through the secret arms support of the Holy Sword Empire, the Adams Empire finally got a certain number of magic cannons, but with the emergence of a large number of puppet soldiers in Lanka Province, they had to take a detour to Cana City to buy arms from the Elf Forest, which was twice as far as before.

Griffitz's steady defense deployment did not give Brown any opportunity. The puppet empire advanced all the way to the Blue Card Province and did not achieve any amazing results. Although Brown obtained hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land for the Sofia Empire, it was obviously not interested in it. She only asked one thing. That's how many enemy troops have been killed.

In July of the 4th Gregorian calendar, the main force of the army of the Sofia Empire entered the Blue Card Province, and the Blue Card Battle, which determined the fate of Adams, officially began. The two sides launched a decisive battle near the city of Nokan, where the Holy Empire fought against Adams' rebellion.

Ironically, Adams is still Griffith, the general who defended Nocan; and on the offensive side, the commander-in-chief of the Sofia Empire is Brown, the general of the former Holy Empire.

However, today's siege is different from those in those years. Once upon a time, the siege troops needed to prepare countless ladders and trucks, slowly attack the enemy's city with dense bows and arrows and crossbow cannons, and then pile up victory with countless corpses, and finally break through the city wall, attack the city, and complete the siege.

Now these complex preparations are completely unnecessary. The dense magic cannon can easily destroy the city wall. The era of fortress defense is gone forever. Most of the defense now relies on countless trenches and obstacles to cooperate with magic cannons and local counterattacks to fight in the field. Defense.

Griffizis, who had been transferred more than half of his main force, could only concentrate his troops near Nocan, where he would use 380,000 troops to fight against the million puppet army commanded by General Brown.

The two sides fought several small-scale battles in Blue Card Province. Griffith skillfully commanded the troops and fought and retreated. Brown did not get any advantage, and had no choice but to let Griffith train new recruits in a planned way.

After destroying about 50,000 puppet troops, Griffith's remaining 350,000 troops shrank to the vicinity of Nokan City. They used the Domon Mountains on both wings of Nokan City and Nokan City to deploy solid defenses.

The only thing that dissatisfied Griffith is the trust of Claude, the emperor of Adams, in Cyril. In order to balance Griffins' power in the army, Claude has been using his brother's confidant Cyril. Although Cyril has been defeated repeatedly, he can still divide Griffith's few armies.

This defensive battle was related to the fate of the Adams Empire, and Claude did not dare to play. He ordered archbishop Clark to personally go to Cyril to take charge of the Doran Governorate, in order to ensure that the defense line on the Dolan border was foolproof.

However, while Griffizi was angry, he also received some good news. Under the leadership of a general named Jack, about 70,000 elite soldiers fled back to Nocan. These soldiers included the 64th Army and other troops that retreated from the Meilan River defense line, as well as the defeated and defeated troops collected along the way. .

With the reinforcement of this unit, Griffitz's strength finally exceeded 400,000, which also made him more confident in defending Nokan.

Soon, 1.3 million puppet troops passed through the northern part of Bia Province, fully occupied Lanka Province, and confronted Griffizi's army near Nokan.

The two sides continue to use small-scale battles to consume their opponents. There are complete fortifications around Nokan City, and both sides have invested a large number of troops to repeatedly compete for these positions, and casualties have skyrocketed.

On June 29, the 4th year of the Gregorian calendar, General Brown began a fierce attack on the city of Nokan. The magic cannonballs of the puppet empire fell on the formation of Nokan City like rain, and the overwhelming puppets flooded the defensive positions outside Nokan City like a tide with long guns.

Although Adams' troops fought back desperately, they still could not shake the numerical advantage of the puppet troops. The two sides began to compete for the main defense line outside Nokan on the afternoon of June 30.

On July 1, Gregorian calendar, the puppet occupied the last line of defense outside Nokan City, and then launched an attack on the walls of Nokan City. The two sides fought fiercely on the wall. Griffizi's messenger for reinforcements returned to Nokan on this day. The request for reinforcements was rejected. Claude asked the defenders of Nokan City to defend it. To the last soldier.
