Chapter 596 Ready to Finish
The battle was not delayed by anything else, and the puppet launched an attack on Leon Barton's position the next day. As expected, the puppet put more troops into the area deliberately avoided the day before.
The heavy artillery of the puppet empire cut through the sky and landed on the defensive position of the Holy Empire, bringing gravel and soil to cover the sky and the sun. In contrast, the artillery of the Holy Empire counterattacked as strong as breathing.
Due to the gap in the number of artillery, the artillery troops of the Holy Empire can only be deployed in the rear to cover the area about 100 meters ahead of their positions. In other words, this arrangement is not prepared for artillery warfare at all, but to counterattack when the other infantry charges.
So when the infantry of the Holy Empire were destroyed by the artillery of the Sophia Empire, most of the magic cannons of the Holy Empire could only watch.
In fact, they can only watch. The shortage of shells made Leon Barton have to accurately calculate the number of magic cannons used each time. He had to strictly control the number of cannons put into battle, and even personally make a plan to stipulate that only a few magic cannons can be fired at a counterattack.
"Fight!" A soldier shouted against the densely rushed puppet army. He held his sword high and his face was full of blood.
Countless soldiers stood up, holding long guns or swords, one after another as if they had grown out of the soil. Soon the two troops were strangled together, blood splashed, the crisp sound of the long guns piercing the magic crystal, and the whole position was full of the sound of magic cannon shells exploding.
At noon, the puppet's attack was finally repelled, and another legion of more than 20,000 suffered more than half of the casualties. Some positions had been completely destroyed, and the bodies and the remains of the puppet could be seen everywhere in the mud.
The four-legged self-propelled guns have become a nightmare for the soldiers of the Holy Empire. These terrible huge weapons are rampant in the positions of the Holy Empire and can only be destroyed by relying on crossbow guns to attack at a very close distance. This is basically no different from suicide. At that close distance, they are often immediately attacked immediately after attack. The puppet infantry besieged and did not even have a chance to escape.
It was another day of hard battle and another day of sacrifice. More than 20,000 corps went to the front line, and the rest of the scattered thousands retreated back to the camp. March 21 of the Gregorian calendar passed like this. The next morning, the attack of the puppet army began again on time, and the battle seemed to be eternal in the southern part of Ladora Province. Endless.
The troops of the Holy Empire abandoned the province of Ladora on March 23 and completely retreated into the Lingbei Province. This retreat exposed part of the northern border of the whole elf forest to the puppet troops, although two elf armies were deployed on this border, and there was also a well-prepared super defense line for a year. St. Rudolph's defense line, but the Holy Sword Empire still did not relax its vigilance and immediately put the 10th and 20th groups guarding St. Rudolph's defense into a state of first-class combat readiness.
"Report!" A voice sounded outside the office door, and Arcado raised his head from the mountain-like file, frowned and rubbed his eyes.
"Come in!" Who knows why so many people are willing to be an emperor, and this position requires much more than what they get.
bears the responsibility of an era, seeks the well-being of hundreds of millions of people, considers endless issues such as industrial water conservancy and agricultural disasters, and so on. In order to continue the rule, there are ministers and institutions to check and balance power most of the time - frankly speaking, this is a thankless spokesperson. The existence of
Unless this emperor becomes the truth, the god, and the faith of the whole world! However, such an emperor often has to pay more.
Arcado's adjutant stood upright at the door and said, "It is reported that the 9th Army of Gurian* occupied the surrounding area of the Divine Light Fortress, and the 8th Army of Alex* entered more than 70 kilometers south of Bart City, leaving only 300 kilometers away from Leon Barton's main force."
"Didn't you encounter Leon Barton's counterattack?" Arcado thought for a moment and asked, "Leonbatten can't give up Caen. Is it possible that the puppet's offensive is so fierce that he can't even withdraw tens of thousands of troops?" It's strange that he doesn't even pretend to come back to help Caen!"
"It was indeed not mentioned on the call. Alex* decided to deploy defense after occupying Bart and voluntarily give up the elf province, which is safer." The adjutant said, "General Gurion has the same opinion. He also suggested that the defense be deployed in place after occupying the Divine Light Fortress."
"Order the staff headquarters to formulate a complete emergency plan, slow down the advance speed of the two armies on the front line, and hoard supplies in the right place! Shenguang Fortress strives for peaceful acceptance! Deploy defense on the front line from Bart City to Shenguang Fortress! There is no further command!"
"Yes!" The deputy officer said that he recorded all Akado's orders on white paper in the folder, but did not turn around and go out.
"Is there anything else?" Arcado asked.
"Your Majesty! In addition, there is news from Lord Lin Riya that the deployment of the Death Plan has been completed. Please go and preside over the follow-up work. The adjutant whispered.
After hearing this, Arcado did not say anything, but fell into meditation. He was getting closer and closer to the light of extinction. He was also more and more afraid of the power of this super weapon. He really felt that it was not a good start to let the whole world live in the shadow of the light of extinction.
"Prepare the car! I'm going there!" Arcado said, standing up and taking his command from the hanger at the door: "Tell the officials who came to pick up the documents later that I haven't finished reading them and ask them to pick them up tomorrow."
Annie really lived up to expectations. The confidentiality of the surrounding vigilance has reassured Arcado a lot. Since the last Genesis theft, the confidentiality level of the Sword Empire has been very high, which has protected the scientific and technological development achievements of the Sword Empire to a certain extent.
As Anne walked to the actual combat experimental shooting headquarters of the Light of Extinction, Arcado saw the busy Lin Ria, who was conducting the final debugging and static test for the Light of Destruction.
Taking advantage of this busy time, Akado pondered again. He was never sure whether his approach was right or wrong. The entanglement continued until Linria finished his work and came over. He was still thinking. The staff in the whole headquarters looked at the silent emperor, no Someone dares to disturb.
