Chapter 512 Sword Expedition
"Your Majesty, the news of the fortress empire, they ceded the province of Ansi and Zoe to us, hoping that we would send troops to stop the invasion of the orc empire." A general introduced the situation.
"Absurd! Give us the area occupied by the orc empire? Are they crazy? Do you think we are idiots? I also told Paulson that the Sword Empire had ceded the city of Ponceris to their fortress empire! Why don't they go and get it?" Another army* said with a sneer.
"Some refugees fled to Lundo City, and the wall of sighs seems to have been captured! The situation is very unfavorable. The fortress imperial defenders in Zoe's province are shrinking their defenses, as if they are going to throw us the mess. Chief of Staff Valando* frowned and said.
Yu Qian finally shook his head and sighed: "It seems that the only thing we can do is to help the fortress empire wipe their buttocks. Once the fortress empire collapses, the Sofia Empire will point its gun at the Holy Empire or Eternal Night, and the situation will be very unfavorable to us.
Chief of Staff Valandu retorted: "Not necessarily? If the orc empire takes down the fortress empire, the elf forest may not dare to attack, but they will definitely go to the Sofia empire to try their luck. Once the two countries go to war, we will reap the benefits of the fishermen.
Arcado stood up and stared at his generals: "Gentlemen! Shall we reap the profits of fishermen? Exchange the cost of 100 million human lives for the benefit of a fisherman? Don't you feel ashamed? What's more, I'm not sure whether this benefit is ours or not!"
"The news from Her Royal Highness, Paulson sent someone to contact our secret whistle. He wanted us to take over Zoe and Ansi." The intelligence officer stood up and said.
Acudo nodded: "It seems that Paulson is not going to want this hot potato. He can't deal with the orc empire on the plain. He gave us this mess."
"It's a good thing to give us, but it's not the best time to fight back against the Orc Empire at this time. If we can let the front troops of the Orc Empire, then our army suddenly enter Anxi Province and cut off the retreat of the Orc Empire, which is more beneficial to us in the situation." Yu Qiansian looked at the map and said.
"No! In order to win justice, we must take the lead in entering Zoe Province and stop the way forward of the Orc Empire. Although we have lost a lot, we can win the hearts of the people on the west side of the continent of Asia!" Arcado said firmly, "The people's hearts are more important than the terrain."
"But Your Majesty, the pre-war preparations of our army are not perfect, and rushing to participate in the war may cause unnecessary losses." The general in charge of logistics shook his head and said.
Yue Linger, who had been standing next to Arcado, suddenly said, "The Sword Empire has rich combat experience against the Orc Empire. It has a very obvious advantage in long-range firepower. The air force has mastered complete air power. If we can take the lead in entering Zoe Province and get the support of the local people, our army will be able to complete it. Strategic defense."
Valando* frowned slightly. His Majesty brought a woman to the meeting today, which has made many generals dissatisfied, and this woman dared to express her opinions randomly. She doesn't know that it is at least a major general who can speak here?
"A surrender of the Eternal Night Empire..." Sure enough, as soon as her words fell, a general in the corner whispered unconvincedly.
Yue Linger interrupted him without waiting for him to finish speaking: "I used to be a general of the Eternal Night Empire, but who stipulated that it was wrong to abandon the secret? Your Majesty hasn't disliked me yet. Why do you question my loyalty?
"Women! Which department are you in? Your Majesty's favor has been a great honor for you to take you to a confidential meeting. How dare you interrupt? Another general looked at Yue Linger and said dissatisfiedly, "There are rules here!"
"There are rules that can't stop me from expressing my right opinions! The sword empire is powerful not because of how many troops you have or how many terrible weapons you have, but because the people support you! Because more than 600 million people support you!" Yue Linger said loudly, "And if we can stop the orc empire, we will win the hearts of 20 million people again!"
"Good!" Arcado stood up and looked at his generals: "In order to completely defeat the Orc Empire and liberate the whole territory of the Elf Forest as soon as possible, the Holy Sword Empire will enter Zoe Province and fight a decisive battle with the Orc Empire!"
Everyone looked at each other and knew that it was clear that this woman might be entrusted with a heavy responsibility in this meeting. It was not surprising that there was Anne and Amanda in front of His Majesty the emperor's affair.
"General Edward's 3rd Army Group has determined the use of the later counterattack, and we can only rely on the mixed 15th Army Group and the new 19th Army Group in the early stage. The former is a mixed cluster, which is not suitable for the orc empire. The latter has just been established and the commander has not been appointed yet. Valando* shook his head and said, "Is anyone willing to do this heavy task?"
"The 15th Army Group cannot be used for frontal defense. It must guard against the Sofia Empire's occupation of the fortress empire and threaten the rear of our army. Therefore, the 15th Army Group will serve as a reserve to stay in Zoe Province." Yu Qiansian said slowly that this plan was formulated by him and Arcado. Although the troops were further divided, the Sofia Empire could not be prevented.
All the generals began to whisper. The 19th Army Group was a newly formed force. Although the strength reached 330,000 troops and 23 divisions were set up, it was obviously inappropriate to immediately enter the battle.
In order to make up for the lack of combat ability of this force, the Holy Sword Empire tried to equip it with full tanks and magic cannons, improving the combat effectiveness of this force as much as possible, and also transferred the 3rd Armored Division of the first main division of the empire as the core.
However, this is even more fearful of this force. The Third Division has never had a division commander and is rebellious and refuses to accept the command of anyone other than General Tessa.
With the new recruits and arrogant soldiers, everyone knows that this force is not easy to control, and it also has to face the full attack of the orc empire. The situation is not optimistic for the 19th Army Group.
A group of generals were hesitating. No one wanted to take over this hot potato, and everyone unconsciously focused on Akado.
Acardo did not express any opinion, but just looked at the many generals and ministers with a smile. He already had an answer in his heart, just waiting for an opportunity.
Beed him, Yue Linger knew that it was time for her to appear. Her dream of leading the army, Arcado gave her a chance to firmly seize this opportunity to become a general of the Sword Empire.
