The news of the great victory coming from the Overseas Territory of Nubisia Continent caused the royal capital to celebrate for a whole month. This was a victory that no one expected. After the news came last October that the five standing legions of the Kingdom of Hicks began to march towards the Cromwell Territory, almost all people who were concerned about the colonial war on the Nubisian continent privately held a pessimistic attitude. They believed that The final result is that the kingdom will lose several overseas territories directly under its jurisdiction.
No one thought that the Ranger Division would win. Even though the Ranger Division had been approved to expand into a legion, there was no time. Both the recruitment of new soldiers and the transportation of equipment were still in the kingdom. The Ranger Regiment is one against ten, even if two overseas field legions are added to it, but everyone knows the combat effectiveness of this second-line legion formed just before the war. It may still be effective in defense, but it is purely in the field. cannon fodder.
When the news of the great victory first came, many people thought it was a rumor. The Rangers wiped out more than 300,000 people in the five standing legions of the Kingdom of Hicks, and also disabled the Sea King fleet. This was simply a miraculous victory. It's unbelievable. However, both the Kingdom's Ministry of War and the National Assembly came forward to confirm that the victory in this war belonged to the Kingdom, and the royal capital immediately fell into carnival celebrations.
Perhaps the victory came too unexpectedly, or perhaps the ruling Kingdom's Prime Minister, Duke Kerry Yusman Duncan, only cared about the health of the bedridden King Sterling X, resulting in very slow administrative efficiency. It was not until a month later that the response was made, and the kingdom's envoy was once again sent to the Kingdom of Hicks to seek an understanding and a peace agreement between the two countries on the issue of the mainland colony of Nubisia.
Just as the winner of this war, the Kingdom of Overas has no intention of ceding Cromwell's direct territory to sue for peace this time. Instead, it feels that it will not allow the Kingdom of Hicks to compensate for the losses caused by the invasion of its legions. Very magnanimous. After all, so far, seven of the fifteen standing legions of the Hicks Kingdom have been wiped out by the Ranger Division. The Kingdom's envoy believes that after this painful lesson, the Kingdom of Hicks will agree to reach a peace agreement with the Kingdom.
From the Kingdom of Overas to the northern part of the Falea continent, you need to pass through three countries, the Kingdom of Nasseri, the Kingdom of Menbamark and the Kingdom of Breault, and finally reach the Kingdom of Hicks. Perhaps because of the great victory in Beringana, the kingdom's envoys were warmly entertained along the way. Even the sworn enemy of the Nasseri Kingdom was very courteous and respectful.
Especially the Hicks Kingdom's neighbor, the Breault Kingdom, all the military and political figures came forward to entertain the banquet. During the banquet, they carefully asked the kingdom's envoys about the details of the Battle of Beringana and the annihilated members of the Hicks Kingdom. He also expressed his admiration for the strength of the Orvelas Kingdom's Ranger Corps. In such a harmonious and happy atmosphere, the kingdom's envoy was very happy and drunk.
What the kingdom's special envoy never expected was that when he arrived at the border of the Hicks Kingdom with great pride and was about to cross the border, he was turned away by the soldiers guarding the border checkpoint and refused to allow him to enter. Even though the kingdom's special envoy repeatedly emphasized that he was an envoy and was ordered to go to the Hicks Kingdom, the captain of the border guard team, a small non-commissioned officer, still refused to allow his group to enter the Hicks Kingdom.
The kingdom's special envoy thought that the young sergeant in front of him was deliberately making things difficult for them, and angrily declared that he would complain to his superiors and severely punish him. But the young noncommissioned officer looked at the Kingdom's envoy with disdain and said something to a soldier next to him. Then the soldier turned and entered the wooden house post on the side of the road, took out a notice from it, and showed it in front of the Kingdom's envoy.
This is a notice sent from the capital of the Kingdom of Hicks. It clearly states that the envoys from the Kingdom of Overas are listed as unwelcome persons in the Kingdom of Hicks and will be rejected at all border checkpoints. Entering the country with your entourage. The notice even clearly stated the first and last name of the Kingdom's special envoy as well as his physical characteristics. His treatment was similar to that of a wanted criminal, except that his face was not painted on it.
The kingdom's envoy almost suffered a heart attack. This was an insult to the Kingdom of Orvelas and a personal humiliation to him. He never thought that the Kingdom of Hicks would ignore diplomatic etiquette and refuse the entry of envoys. This is a precedent that has never happened in the history of Falea continent, but it also means that the Kingdom of Hicks has closed the door to peace talks with the Kingdom of Ovelas, and they regard the Kingdom of Ovelas as their mortal enemy.
With nowhere to protest, the Kingdom's special envoy had no choice but to embark on the return journey in despair. Unlike when he came, the Kingdom's special envoy pretended to be sick and hid in the carriage during the return journey. He was really shameless. It took nearly a month and a half to go back and forth. When he came back and told the Hicks Kingdom that he had been refused entry, all the senior officials in the kingdom were furious. It was unreasonable, so they unanimously agreed with the Ministry of War to order the Rangers to capture the Hicks Kingdom. Vibato Port, the only good port on the Nubisian continent, cuts off the Hicks Kingdom's control of the Nubisian inland colonies from the sea.
But by the time the order from the royal capital reached the Ranger Corps headquarters, another two months had passed. General Michelich led the Ranger Corps to the Port of Vibato. When they arrived at the border of the Cromwell Direct Territory, they were about to enter the territory of the Vibato Colonial County of the Kingdom of Hicks. As a result, they were surprised to find that there were guards guarding the border. The ones patrolling turned out to be light cavalry from the Principality of Karrnath.
What's going on? General Michelchi ordered the camp to be set up. Don't act rashly yet. Then an envoy was sent to ask the light cavalry of the Principality of Karnas why they were in the Vibato Colonial County of the Kingdom of Hicks, and whether the Principality of Karnars wanted to declare war with the Kingdom of Orvelas.
As a result, these light cavalry of the Kingdom of Karrnath denied that they were troops of the Principality of Karrnath, claiming that they were just mercenaries, and accepted the employment of the Kingdom of Hicks to guard the border. Out of the duty and honor of mercenaries, even if they know that they are no match for the Rangers, they will resolutely resist the Rangers' invasion of Vibato Colonial County.
I believe you, you stupid mercenary. The military uniforms and the muskets in their hands are clearly the standard equipment of the Principality of Karrnus. There are also well-equipped defensive positions with clear layers. Is that what a group of mercenaries can do? , this was obviously the work of those elite troops who had experienced the brutal offensive and defensive battles of the Principality of Rimodra during the five-year war in the eastern region.
General Michelic discovered that he had made a big mistake. In the past six months, he had been busy arranging the more than 300,000 prisoners of the Hicks Kingdom's five standing legions, as well as receiving new soldiers and equipment sent from the Kingdom to the Rangers. The regiment was expanded into a legion, as well as rebuilding the Port of Patres in the direct jurisdiction of Robisto and setting up city defense artillery positions. They were very busy.
Because of this, General Michelic ignored the changes in the territory of Vibato Colonial County in the Kingdom of Hicks. To the Rangers, Vibato Port is just a fruit hanging on a tree that can be picked with just one hand. But in order for the peace talks between the kingdom and the Hicks Kingdom to succeed, he ordered not to march into Vibato Port, so as not to irritate the Hicks Kingdom again. As a result, he never expected that an elite force from the Principality of Karnas would suddenly appear in front of him.
As expected by General Michelich, the five standing legions of the Hicks Kingdom were completely wiped out by the Ranger Legion, and the Sea King fleet suffered heavy losses. Within a year and a half, the Hicks Kingdom could not recover at all. Even if they want to dispatch troops to the Nubisian continent again, there are no ships to transport them.
The earliest news from the Kingdom was that it had sent a special envoy to the Kingdom of Hicks. Because of the complete victory in the Battle of Beringana, it was very confident that the Kingdom of Hicks would end the colonial war on the Nubisian continent and reach an agreement. A peace agreement between the two countries.
But who would have thought that the Kingdom of Hicks would become so angry because of this defeat that it would ignore diplomatic etiquette and refuse the entry of the Kingdom's envoy. This means that not only have they closed the door to peace talks, but they will continue to entangle themselves in the Nubisian continent and the Kingdom of Ovelas, and continue this colonial war to the end.
Therefore, after receiving the order from the Kingdom's Ministry of War to capture Vibato Port, General Michelic immediately led the Ranger Corps to prepare and set off. In his vision, the Port of Vibato, which had only one local garrison force, could be completely conquered in one fell swoop. With luck, he could capture several warships of the Sea King fleet that were being repaired. But no one expected that an elite force from the Principality of Karnas would appear at the border of Vibato Colonial County and set up a tight defensive front.
Feeling something was not right, General Michelich did not order the Rangers to attack. Instead, he set up camp first and asked the intelligence staff officer to find out what happened in the Vibato Colonial County of the Hicks Kingdom.
As a result, the intelligence staff officer found a spy report sent from the port of Vibato two months ago. It said that the joint fleets of the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Karnas transported a standing army of the Kingdom of Nasseri and Kannas in two batches. A light cavalry regiment from the Principality of Nass, a standing regiment from the Kingdom of Nassiri guarded the port of Vibato, while a light cavalry regiment from the Principality of Karnas rushed to the border
This was information from two months ago, but it was ignored by everyone. This was a huge mistake. General Michelich was very angry, but the fighter plane had been lost, and the task of conquering Vibato Port was impossible to complete. If the two standing legions of the Kingdom of Hicks were standing in front of him, General Michelich would not hesitate to order the Ranger Legion to attack the enemy.
But facing a standing corps from the Kingdom of Nasseri and a light cavalry corps from the Kingdom of Karnas, General Michelchi could only give up. No matter how elite the standing army of the Kingdom of Hicks is, and no matter how brave the officers and soldiers are, General Michelich is confident that he will lead the Rangers to use leading tactics and advanced precise aiming and shooting muskets to crush them, easily using minimal force. Victory is achieved at the cost of casualties, even if one against two, the outcome is the same.
But the legions of the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Kingdom of Karnas are different. They are the mortal enemies of the kingdom. They also experienced a five-year war in the eastern region a few years ago. Although they were losers on the battlefield, they gained rich battlefield experience in their battles with the Kingdom's troops. They are the most difficult enemies for the King's team to deal with, especially in defensive battles. They make the King's team pay a heavy price in casualties even if they win.
General Michelic had no choice but to report to the royal capital again, saying that the Rangers could only exercise restraint in order to avoid being blamed for provoking the Three Kingdoms War in the eastern region again. It had only been a few years since the armistice and peace agreement was signed, and where would another regional war be? It’s no good for any country
A month later, the royal capital received a report from General Michelci, and learned that the Vibato Colonial County of the Kingdom of Hicks actually stationed a legion each from the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Kannas, and also deployed defenses. After the Rangers were unable to complete their mission of capturing Vibato Port due to the formation of the front, the kingdom's top officials were dumbfounded and no one understood what was going on. After deliberating for several days, it was decided to send special envoys to the two countries to question whether they wanted to provoke a regional war again.
As a result, General Michelchi waited for nearly three months before receiving a reply from the royal capital. It turned out that after the kingdom's envoys arrived at the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Kannas, the ruling figures of the two countries all swore that they had never sent troops to the Vibato Colonial County of the Kingdom of Hicks. The two countries did not have a colony on the Nubisian continent. They were not interested in the war between the Kingdom of Hicks and the Kingdom of Ovelas, and they did not have the capital or energy to intervene in this colonial war.
Because peace is hard-won, senior figures from both countries have stated that they will never do anything to provoke the Kingdom of Ovilas. Also due to the impact of the five-year war in the eastern region, the economies of the two countries have not recovered so far, and they have even reduced their own armed forces to reduce military expenditures.
Some senior military generals believe that it is very likely that the Kingdom of Hicks used civilian recruitment in the two countries to organize the downsized soldiers into volunteer mercenary corps to go to the Nubisian continent. This is a private mercenary behavior, and they The two countries have nothing to do with each other.
Well, the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Karrnath both cleared their suspicions. The angry kingdom envoy pointed out that there is evidence that the two legions were transported by their combined fleets, and the other two The legions are equipped with standard weapons from both countries, and the military uniforms worn by the soldiers are combat uniforms from both countries. How to explain this
This is easy to explain. Senior figures from both countries said that due to the poor economic conditions, the two countries really do not have the funds to maintain the daily patrol missions of the joint fleet. In desperation, they had to lease the combined fleet to the Kingdom of Hicks for three years in order to obtain a large amount of rent to invest in the economies of the two countries for a quick recovery. Lend-lease documents can prove that the combined fleet has not been under the jurisdiction of the two governments since last year.
As for the standard weapons, it is easier to explain. Last year, the Kingdom of Hicks imported a large number of ordnance and equipment from the two countries. They probably used these standard equipment to form the two volunteer mercenary corps. As for the issue of military uniforms, it is a difficult reason for both parties to discuss. Due to financial difficulties, the cost of retirement subsidies for soldiers has been significantly reduced, so the military can only use combat uniforms to issue retired soldiers as benefits.
This was a shameful act to say, but in order to prevent the envoy from the Kingdom of Overas from misunderstanding, the military had no choice but to make a fool of themselves. Therefore, those retired soldiers wore the combat uniforms of the two countries and became volunteers to join the mercenary army formed by the Kingdom of Hicks and went to Nubisia to participate in the war. That was normal, and there was no need to make a fuss about it.
The special envoy of the Kingdom was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot. He really underestimated the shamelessness of the high-level people of the two countries. They could call the black and white, and even rent out the combined fleet. How is this possible? The two countries regard the combined fleet as theirs. Baby, that is the security guarantee for the coastal waters of their two countries. It was leased to the Kingdom of Hicks for three years. Who would believe it
But high-level people from both countries believed it very much, and even produced the lease documents as proof. Therefore, the combined fleet is now under the control of the Kingdom of Hicks, and what it does has nothing to do with the two countries. At the same time, senior figures from the two countries also hypocritically stated that the two legions that appeared in the Kingdom of Hicks also had nothing to do with the two countries. They supported the Kingdom of Orvelas in dispatching troops to eliminate these two volunteer mercenary legions in slaves. Continent of Bithia
In addition to the replies from these two countries, the messenger brought another news about the kingdom of Hicks. More than a month ago, the Kingdom of Hicks announced that it would once again form ten standing legions and rush to the mainland of Nubisia, vowing to fight this colonial war with the Kingdom of Ovelas to the end.
