Chapter 595 Leon Barton's Choice

Outside a secret hut in the upper reaches of the Meilan River, there is an elite Holy Empire soldier stationed. They have placed many sentries outside the whole village, and dozens of armored vehicles and trucks imported from the Sword Empire have been deployed.

This is the headquarters of all the legions in the north of the Holy Empire, where Leon Barton, the archbishop of the Holy Empire, is stationed.

There are several thick cables connected to the distance, which is a replica of the sword technology that Sophia sold to various countries. Although to a large extent, these wired telegrams have become the means of communication in various countries, because there is no perfect code design, they can only transmit simple commands and messages.

At this moment, a young officer is reporting the losses and results of the battle to his officer. These days, the more puppets are fighting and fewer shells. Many people are no longer able to contact their hometown. Rumors are everywhere, and the army is distracted.

"Yesterday, the puppet imperial troops attacked the whole line. Our army resisted desperately and repelled 7 enemy attacks. More than 31,000 people were killed." An officer reported to Leon Barton, a dazzling blue archbishop robe, "We have annihilated more than 60,000 puppet soldiers. According to this ratio, our army's combat effectiveness has dropped by 70%."

Use the reserve team to replace the three most damaged corps, and mix the three replaced corps into one and use them as a reserve. Leon Barton looked at the marks on the map one after another, frowned and ordered, "Concentrate the magic artillery troops and transport them to this highland!" Today's puppet attack only did not cover here, indicating that they are likely to attack here tomorrow!"

"Yes!" The young officer answered hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something but did not dare to say anything.

Leon Barton raised his head and looked at his men a few times: "What's the matter? You know I've been very busy recently and don't have much time.

"Archbishop, have you heard that the Sword Empire has fought against us shamelessly? Everyone is guessing that Gustav's defense line has been broken. The young officer said hesitantly.

"Bill, in fact, there is nothing to hide. Gustav is already the territory of the Holy Sword Empire. Now the army of the Holy Sword Empire has approached Caen from both directions of Prynne and Wang Shen City. Maybe Caen has been surrounded at this time." Leon Barton said with a smile. His wrinkled face looks a little pale, as if the war situation has tortured him very seriously these days.

"Your excellency! We should give up the line of defense! Go back to Caen! We should defend there!" The adjutant was stunned and immediately said, "Don't let God's territory be stained by those heresies!"

"We relied on the fortifications and the city to fight against the puppets before we barely resisted the attack! "Child." Leon Barton walked to the adjutant and patted him on the shoulder: "If we turn back, then the puppet will then cover up. When we get to Caen, we won't even have 500,000 people left."

"But! Your Excellency! We can't watch God's territory occupied by the bastards of the Sword Empire!" The officer looked at Leon Barton and said with some excitement.

Leon Barton laughed and said, "Child! My stupid child! Your gold coins are exchanged for combat and fighting. Your life is given by your parents. What has the gods helped you since you were born? Believing in gods is a good thing. It makes you know honesty and humility, but it can't give you invincible power and endless life!"

He pointed to the ceiling and said, "God is our faith!" But it won't help us anything! I have witnessed countless soldiers shouting that the gods were cut off, and I have also seen countless soldiers raping the people of the Eternal Night Empire. In fact, there was no God to help me when I was defeated, and I couldn't remember praying to God when I won. Today, now! The same is true!"

"If we don't go back to rescue Caen, then God will not forgive us! Your Excellency! You can't leave His Majesty the Pope and countless officials and nobles of the Holy City!" The adjutant still felt inappropriate: "At least we should transfer some cavalry back to rescue! Cooperate with Caen's defenders inside and outside to defeat the Sword Empire!"

handed an order to the adjutant, and Leon Barton said with a wry smile, "This is His Holiness's order. He vetoed my order to return to the Holy City and strictly ordered me to defend my position and not to leave."

As he spoke, he stroked the sword hanging on the wall: "The sacred empire is over! Bill. In fact, I envy Yue Wushen. I heard that he died before the end of the Eternal Night Empire, and I don't have to watch his life's sustenance turn into a bubble. Even if a miracle happens now, the Holy Empire will not be able to turn over. There are only three provinces under our actual control..."

"Your excellency! You are so awesome! He led 200,000 troops to defeat the attack of 500,000 puppet troops! Lingbei Province is still firmly in our hands! Do we really have no chance at all?" The adjutant asked unwillingly.

"I have seen this Emperor St. Rudolph." Leon Barton seems to be recalling and saying, "He is very young, but he has a keen vision that ordinary people don't have. Now his strong generals are like clouds and fierce men. Do you think he will make some low-level mistakes to give us the opportunity to completely annihilate more than 500,000 troops and even capture him himself?"

Annihilate 500,000 troops of the Sword Empire? Just kidding! Now the Holy Sword Empire has put 500,000 troops there to surround the Holy Empire, and the Holy Empire has no strength to eat this force! Still annihilated? Now even the children of the Holy Empire know how to sing a song: the soldiers of the Holy Sword gather 10,000, 100,000 opponents are not enough to watch, half of the cannons are killed, and tanks are not fighting...

"What we can do now is to stay here! Compared with the Sofia Empire, the Sword Empire is the future of mankind!" Leon Barton said, "The order I got is to stay here!" Never give in! I will complete His Holiness's order! Until the end."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the adjutant: "Bill, I can approve you to leave!" Yours is Bart's, right? You can apply to me at any time, and I will approve your transfer to Bart City. You don't have to stay here to die with me, an old man.

"No! Your Excellency! I want to be with you! Until the end of what you said!" The adjutant saluted sincerely and said, "You are the best commander I have ever seen!"

"Thank you for your praise." Leon Barton laughed: "Go post this pope's order and stabilize the army!"

"Yes!" His deputy Bill was walking out, and the room was calm again.
