Chapter 605 Appearance
Leon Barton's instant reaction and the timely rescue of the guards made the assassin's sword not cause irreparable damage. With the rescue of the field doctors, Leon Barton miraculously survived. Although he was very weak, he had no fear of life.
On the third day, Leon Barton, who woke up, summoned the commanders of 40 legions and stabilized the army. These days, the soldiers of the Sofia Empire did not come to attack. It seemed that they were determined to wait for Leon Barton and the Sword Empire to fight first.
In fact, Leon Barton miscalculated the form of the puppet. Sophia is now trying to accumulate power and is concentrating on investigating the cause of magic fluctuations. She strictly ordered to stop all large-scale military operations before she knows exactly what new weapons the Sword Empire has.
In addition, there is more amazing news that the Sword Empire showed mysterious super weapons in Caen City, which instantly destroyed about 150,000 sacred empire defenders and damaged more than 200,000 civilians (mostly buried by earthquakes caused by the impact), leaving more than 700,000 people homeless in Caen City and more than 1.3 million People are affected.
In the area controlled by the Holy Empire, Arcado is known as the demon king. His horror even surpasses the mysterious Sofia and becomes the most feared existence of the locals.
All people trembled in the light of death in Caen City. No one dared to resist the rule of the Holy Sword Empire. All resistance collapsed in an instant. The fear of death defeated everything. Even a few radicals were fiercely resisted and rejected by others.
The seeds that lost the soil could not bloom at all. In the days after the light of extinction appeared, the resistance and hostility of the sacred empire disappeared as if they had never appeared before.
"I was wrong." Leon Barton looked at the map and intelligence and sighed and said, "I thought St. Rudolph was a generation. I would rather block the puppet army from going south for him and create an opportunity to unify Yavia for him. I have been thinking so since the Holy Empire was doomed to fail."
He took a look at the adjutant Bill beside him: "But this Majesty St. Rudolph let me down! He is as cruel as Sophia! He can't bring happiness to the people on the Asian continent! All he brought was disaster!"
"I've decided! I want to fight against this human scum on behalf of justice! Not for the Holy Empire! Not for any benefit! For the eternal righteousness in the hearts of human beings! For the glory in the hearts of our soldiers!"
"Your excellency! I swear to follow you to the death!" Adjutant Bill said firmly, "I will follow you wherever you fight."
"Notify the whole army that soldiers who are unwilling to fight against the Holy Sword Empire can stay and stand by! If Leon Barton is defeated, surrender to the Sword Empire or the Sofia Empire, as they like. Leon Barton got up weakly and said heroically.
"General, you will definitely win a complete victory." Bill said loudly.
"Thank you, child. As a veteran of the Asian continent, I want to let my descendants see what is the mainstay!" Leon Barton stood up slowly and said word by word.
Three days later, Arcado's main force had occupied the Holy Light Fortress, which was no different from the empty city. After the 20,000 defenders there heard about the war situation in the holy city of Caen, they dispersed overnight, and even the generals defending the city fled cleanly.
And Leon Barton finally gathered 350,000 troops, turned around and lined up Buck's 4th Army and the 12th Army.
"Your Excellency, the other commanders did not respond to our decision. Some of them are afraid of being attacked by super weapons, and some are more willing to stay in their positions and wait for the order of the Holy Empire, but they all admire your courage, so they have contributed the magic cannon and some heavy weapons.
nodded, and the pain in his abdomen was tormenting Leon Barton all the time. Did the severe pain make the general sweat coldly: "Thank them, not everyone has the courage to face an invincible army."
"Order the four legions to set up a defense line on our current hill, and I need to become a position to rely on here in 2 days." Leon Barton said.
"The only cavalry army lurks here, Bill! You personally bring 40 magic cannons to hide here! Remember! War in any area has nothing to do with you! You have to wait until night to fire at this coordinate! Retreat after three rounds of volley! Let's give the Holy Sword Empire an unforgettable gift.
In the afternoon, General Buck's tank troops tried to attack Leon Barton's central army and were fiercely counterattacked by Leon Barton. When Buck retreated, Leon Barton personally commanded two infantry regiments to cover up regardless of his injury. Buck immediately threw himself into his reserve and forced Leon Barton's army back.
Buck, who felt that there was a problem with the flank, sent his own reconnaissance force and searched the woods very close to his defense line. Sure enough, he found a large army of lurking cavalry there.
Buck sent troops to drive away the cavalry, and there was a fierce battle between the two sides. The cavalry did not retreat until dusk that more than half of the losses were driven out of the woods by the troops of the Sword Empire.
Buck's army attacked for a day in a row and turned to full defense. Who knew that at night, Buck's headquarters was attacked by artillery fire. Although there were not much loss of personnel, more than a dozen command equipment were damaged, and they lost direct contact with his two divisions, and they were with the 1st The radio station contacted by the 2nd Army Group was damaged.
The troops who rushed to counterattack only found the shell casings of more than a hundred shells, as well as more than a dozen magic cannons destroyed by the counterattack fire, and the bodies of three Holy Empire soldiers.
This completely angered Buck. In his headquarters, 28 guards were killed and 4 officers were killed in battle, while only 3 soldiers died in the Holy Empire. Such a bad record is no different from shame for the Sword Empire.
The next day, Buck led the two divisions he could find to launch a counterattack, but where the Holy Empire cavalry was found yesterday on the flank, the remaining Holy Empire cavalry rushed over like ghosts and attacked Buck's artillery position from the flank.
Although these cavalry were unable to destroy artillery, they killed more than 200 artillerymen of the Holy Sword Empire and stole 30 trucks for pulling magic cannons.
It turned out that when Bill led his troops to shell Buck's camp at night, the remaining Holy Empire cavalry sneaked back to the woods. Because they didn't sleep all night, the tired Holy Sword Empire guard did not find the returning cavalry.
