The great civil war of the Holy Alliance came to an abrupt end because of the sudden invasion of the Asrophek Empire. WWW.QuANbEn-XiAoShUo.COM
All fronts ceased fire on the day when this shocking news came, and the battleground between the countries once again became the Parliament of the Holy Alliance.
The subject of this debate is not whether to armistice. In the face of the powerful Asrophic army, if the Holy Alliance countries do not act as unanimously as before, they will only end up being defeated by powerful enemies one by one, and everyone will be destroyed together.
Since the armistice is not an issue, the focus of the bargaining between the two sides now is the armistice conditions.
This time, Asrofic's army was heading towards the Kingdom of Levi first. After attacking the Kingdom of Rivi, the Asroviks can also choose to attack the three small principalities to the northwest, or attack the Kingdom of Latvia to the southwest, which borders the Kingdom of Rivi, and then it will be the turn of the Kingdom of Leiton. The Kingdom of Leiton originally had a border with the Asrofic Empire, but this time it did not become the target of attack by the Asrofic Empire as before.
No one in the Holy Alliance could have imagined that when Emperor Feuerbach was on an expedition to the Eastern Dark Forest, the Duke of Doriac, who had always been unwilling to take risks, would dare to use all his 100,000 troops to attack the Holy Alliance.
Although many soldiers were killed or injured in the Holy Alliance civil war this time, as long as the major powers of the alliance joined forces, there would still be an army of over 300,000. Even excluding the 80,000 new recruits that Rogge had given him, the number of powerful troops capable of fighting well exceeded 200,000. In the eyes of the kings and generals of the Holy Alliance countries, although the Imperial Duke Doriac was not a military idiot, he was definitely not a famous general. At least half of the generals dared to claim that they could beat Doliac back to his hometown if their military strength was equal.
Now the situation of Levi and the Kingdom of Latvia is very bad. Judging from the situation, they have become the target of attack by Asrovik's army. The border guards of the Kingdom of Levi suffered heavy losses in the first wave of attacks by the Asrofics, and this time Doriac's command suddenly became clever. He acted very quickly and boldly, dividing the army into three groups. After the main central force broke through the Liwei border defense line with all its strength, it did not stop for a moment, but directly attacked the hinterland of the Liwei Kingdom. After the two wing troops also broke through the border defense line, they began to close to the center and surrounded thousands of remaining garrison troops of the Kingdom of Levi. In front of tens of thousands of troops, no one would think that these thousands of surrounded Levi warriors could support It'll take a week.
Time is everything at the moment. If the Levi Kingdom delays for a while longer and the main force confronting the Leiton Kingdom army cannot retreat in time to resist the Asrophic army, the country will soon be destroyed.
At the Holy Alliance Council, Rogge made Levi and the Kingdom of Latvia fully understand what greed is. He saw clearly the plight of the two countries, so he ordered the envoys from the Principality of Are to put forward extremely harsh conditions and would never relent.
Of course, Rogge still looked upright and sacred on the surface, saying that the lives of the soldiers of the Arey Principality and the citizens of the Leyton Kingdom were priceless. The despicable Kingdom of Latvia actually colluded with the Necromancer and first killed many heroic soldiers of the Principality of Are with the Undead Legion, and then massacred the city of Leipzig extremely cruelly in an attempt to turn 50,000 civilians into the Undead Legion. This kind of outrageous behavior will never be tolerated. Therefore, in this war, Rogge must fight to the end with the Kingdom of Latvia. Even if the Principality of Are is destroyed, he will never care.
The Latvians defended themselves in every possible way, saying that they had never colluded with any necromancers, that the Leipzig incident was entirely a conspiracy, and that the undead legions that appeared on the battlefield had nothing to do with them. Unfortunately, although the diplomats rarely told the truth this time, no one believed them.
Of course, in a place like the Holy Alliance Council, everyone knows what Rogge's harsh words mean. After more than 30,000 Latvian troops were held back by Rogge, it was hard to say whether Levi and Latvia could rely on the remaining 60,000 troops to resist Asrofic's invasion. At this moment, the 20,000 new troops in Rogge's country have been trained and have begun to march towards Bora City. Before long, Rogge will have 40,000 troops in his hands. In this way, the Latvians who confront him will no longer dare to reduce their troops at will and rush to support the main battlefield.
Rogge actually offered a sky-high price.
Because of Ikelel, King Romon adopted a tacit attitude towards Rogge's actions.
Originally, according to the past practice of the Holy Alliance, Rogge's request could not be too unreasonable. After all, if these two kingdoms perish, then Arei and Layton will not be able to protect themselves.
But tradition cannot restrain Rogge. His attitude was extremely tough. The only reasonable thing about his attitude was that he did not ask the two countries to cede land, but his demands for compensation and rare minerals were enough to empty the treasury of both countries.
If Rogge does not agree to his conditions, it seems that the more than 30,000 Latvian troops confronting Rogge will not be able to invest in the northern battlefield to resist the Asrovik army. Moreover, Rogge still has 40,000 new recruits who are still being trained. Just relying on the human sea tactics is very likely to eat up the Latvian troops in front.
After two days of arduous negotiations, the Asrophic people's military front has been directed at King Levi's City. The two countries were in a desperate situation and had to accept Rogge's conditions and promised to compensate the Kingdom of Leyton and the Principality of Are three million gold coins and half a million gold coins respectively, and they would be paid immediately. At the same time, Rogge made a long list of many rare magic raw materials, which almost wiped out the two countries' treasures for many years.
These rare minerals and magic raw materials alone are worth no less than a million gold coins. What is surprising is that this list is very precise and detailed. It is almost as much as what is in the treasury of the two countries. God knows where Rogge got the information to draw up such a predatory list.
In the face of the disaster of national subjugation, Levi and the Latvians had to bow their heads. The two sides agreed that the armistice agreement would take effect immediately, and the two teams could leave the battle line to establish the first line of defense against the Asrofiks. After the compensation was paid, Leighton and Arei troops would join the battle as reinforcements.
Since the main force of the Leighton Kingdom suffered serious losses in the continuous attacks, they will take a short rest first. Rogge's troops have not suffered any losses, so they will be the first batch of reinforcements to rush for reinforcements.
The war situation is critical, and Rogge is not afraid of what tricks the two countries will play. As for possible revenge after the war, he was even less concerned about it.
Five days later, four heavily loaded carriages, escorted by a thousand elite Latvian warriors, arrived at Bora. The value of the goods on these four carriages exceeded 1.5 million gold coins. It is no wonder that Latvia sent so many soldiers to escort them when the war situation was tight.
This time to escort the war reparations, Latvia put a lot of thought into sending an old general who had never met Rogge on the battlefield. The general had a kind face and looked like a good old man. Obviously, the Latvians do not want any further disturbance in their relationship with Rogge. After all, Rogge's 40,000-strong army currently stationed in Bora City is a considerable combat force.
After the two sides met, the old general was full of joy and answered very appropriately. Rogge also showed the most sincere smile and couldn't help but compliment the Latvian soldiers for their bravery and the magicians' strength. But when he mentioned the magician, the smile on the old general's face was very embarrassing.
Although the two foxes, one old and one young, were terribly hypocritical, the true relationship between the two parties was revealed by the soldiers who glared at each other.
Two of the four carriages contained gold as compensation, and the other two contained various magic materials that Rogge asked for. Counting the gold is easy, but counting the magic raw materials is time-consuming. More than a dozen officials were busy unloading small boxes one by one from the carriage, carefully checking the quantity and quality of the materials according to the list.
Rogge chatted with the old general while waiting for the completion of the collection handover.
It seemed like a casual chat, but Rogge intentionally or unintentionally tested the political, economic and military situation of Latvia, while the old general told everything he knew, and only answered false and true questions, without knowing which one was true and which one was false. .
After finally completing the inventory, Rogge and the old general could finally end their chit-chat. Rogge was still unfinished, but the old general began to sweat on his forehead.
It's no wonder that the old general was old. The counting work lasted for two hours, and he had to stand with Rogge for two hours. The so-called small talk is basically Rogge asking and he answering. Seeing that his answers were flawless, Rogge changed his strategy and asked dozens of questions over and over again. If the old general's answers were slightly inconsistent, he would ask them to the end. Before the trip, the old general received the king's death order, telling him not to offend Rogge under any circumstances, and to make sure Rogge agreed to fight. Therefore, although it was extremely difficult to deal with it, he still dealt with it carefully, not only not leaking secrets, but also not allowing Rogge to find excuses to break his face.
Seeing that the counting work had been completed, the old general smiled and asked: "Master Rogge, we have sent you the compensation as agreed. You see..."
Rogge laughed at the question! I have prepared everything, and I will lead the army out early tomorrow morning!"
Did the old general breathe a sigh of relief? Let me be your guide! If you need anything, just tell me. I have some small prestige in Latvia, so I can still provide you with some convenience in terms of military supplies, camping and intelligence. "
Rogge nodded and wanted to finalize the march route and battle plan with General Charlie. I will tell you the battle plan early tomorrow morning. "
At nightfall, Charlie finished arranging the equipment for tomorrow's march and went to Rogge's study to go over the battle plan with Rogge one last time.
At this time, the huge magic map has been marked according to the latest battle report provided by the old general.
"Charlie, look, the 60,000-strong coalition forces of the two countries are now confronting the 80,000 Asroviks on the Campas Plains. If there is a decisive battle, it is hard to say whether the outcome will be a decisive battle. According to your opinion, if the coalition forces are defeated, they will Where will you retreat to?"
Charlie thought for a while and chose to retreat into the Pancaro Valley at one point on the map. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack here. Although there is no way out, apart from a narrow valley, the Asrofiks can't find any other place to attack. Moreover, the geographical location of this valley is just right, not far from King Livi City. I heard that the defenses of the Royal City of Levi are very strong. With only 10,000 Royal City Guards, the Asrophic people will definitely not be able to attack it in a while. What's more, if the Asrofic people want to attack King Livi City, they must first attack Clete Fortress. Although the defense of this fortress is not strong, it can hold out for a while. At that time, the army retreating in the Pancaro Valley came from behind, and the situation of the Asrofiks was not good. Moreover, within a week, our army will arrive, and then we and the coalition forces will attack the Asrofiks from both sides, and they will have to retreat. "
"Charlie, what if the coalition forces of the two countries are completely wiped out? If we stationed at Leyte Fortress, can we completely block the route of the Asrophic people from attacking King Levi's City?"
"Lord Rogge, it is impossible for the coalition forces to be completely wiped out."
"What if?"
Charlie said: "In case the coalition forces are really wiped out, then as long as we hold the Leyte Fortress, the Asroviks want to attack King Livi City, they must go north and bypass the Karl Mountains, which is hundreds of kilometers away. They may be cut off by us at any time. I really don’t understand why they would attack the Holy Alliance from here this time.”
Rogge carefully looked at the magic map for a long time, and finally made up his mind that our goal this time is Wright Fortress!"
It was already late at night.
Just as Charlie was about to leave, he was stopped by Roger again.
Rogge hesitated for a while and then said: "Charlie, no matter what my order is, no matter how unacceptable it is, will you execute it?"
Charlie was stunned for a moment. Lord Ge, you are the highest commander in chief of the Principality of Arei, and I am just a general of the Principality of Arei. Of course I will carry out any of your orders. "
"That's good!" Rogge sighed in relief, can you give me a promise? "
Charlie was a little strange, but still said: "I swear! In the name of the Holy Knight."
Rogge was relieved and said with a smile: "Very good! You should go and rest early. The march will be very hard tomorrow."
In the early morning of the next day, the gates of Zola City were opened wide, and a thousand forwards and light cavalry were the first to leave the city. Under the guidance of Latvian soldiers, they will go to the next camp to prepare for the arrival of the army.
An hour later, Rogge's army of more than 30,000 troops filed out. In addition to leaving two thousand people to garrison Bora City, Rogge left in full force this time.
Horn, the old Latvian general, has been in the army for decades and is also a nobleman with some royal blood. He had already left the city early in the morning and was waiting for Roger on the roadside. Although on the surface he said he was afraid of missing the time, everyone knew that he wanted to take the opportunity to take a look at Rogge's military appearance.
When he first saw these new recruits from the Arei Principality, he was quite disdainful. Indeed, on the battlefield of life and death, only ten thousand well-trained soldiers can easily defeat these rookies. But when two thousand elf archers on horseback appeared, Horn's eyelids couldn't help but twitch a few times.
Elves have always been the best archers. The gorgeous dark blue magic longbows behind these elves are more than just beautiful to look at. What worries the old general even more is that the riding skills of these elves don't seem to be weak. He knew very well how powerful the elite cavalry archers were.
When Rogge came out of the city surrounded by Spartan knights and the Dark Side of the Moon, the cold sweat on Horn's forehead finally came down. This was the first time he saw the most elite troops in Rogge's hands.
Horn was also a knight. When he glanced at the former Golden Lion Knights, he was stunned for a full minute before he came back to his senses. Although he didn't understand the skills and specialties of the Dark Side of the Moon, just looking at the murderous intent and the cold eyes of these elves inadvertently made him think of the demons on the battlefield and the cold-blooded warriors known as butchers.
When Horn's eyes fell on the four elf guardian warriors behind Rogge, even the old general's eyes couldn't help but shine with passion and admiration. They did not carry long bows like other elves, but instead wore magic swords. The gorgeous green armor is like beautiful green leaves, decorated with golden patterns. Their figures were calm and steady, and they were obviously very skilled in martial arts. But the most eye-catching thing is the elf's unique delicacy and beauty.
"Are these Lord Rogge's elf guards? They are really... enviable!" Horn was filled with not-so-pure thoughts and was filled with envy.
The last to leave the city were nearly a hundred heavily loaded carriages, all of which were covered so tightly that it was unknown what was inside.
Seeing Horn waiting, Rogge rode over and asked with a smile: "General Horn, do you think my men are doing well?"
"Lord Rogge, although I have been in the army for many years, this is the first time I have seen such a powerful warrior and such an elite knight! And..." Horn lowered his voice and said: "Your Elf Guard... is really unique! "
Rogge chuckled: "General Horn, there will be no shortage of beauties in your house, right?"
"I have been in the army for decades and have little power. Although there are several women in my family, even if they are put together, they cannot compare with your Elf Guards!"
Rogge looked at the advancing army and said calmly: "General Horn should call you General Ogma Canning. You are actually a half-brother to the Minister of State of the Kingdom of Latvia, and you have always controlled the entire If you say that the secret police force of the Kingdom of Latvia lacks beauties under your command, then I will be the first to not believe it.”
Horn's face changed drastically, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead. After a long time, he reluctantly said: "Master Rogge, you are really powerful. It seems that I can't hide anything from you."
Rogge smiled and said: "Actually, these are not important. After repelling the Asrovik people, are you going to attack me again? When are you going to do it? Is it when my army returns home?"
Horn quickly said: "How is this possible? We Latvians will never do such a thing!"
Rogge stared at Horn, his sharp gaze seemed to be staring directly into his heart. Horn could still manage to smile, but his smile was really ugly.
Rogge nodded and withdrew his gaze. General En, you are very good at setting up and maintaining an intelligence network. It can be seen that you are very talented. It is a pity that you are too far away from the blood of the royal family. Otherwise, with your status, For his achievements over the past years, he should have received a higher title. "
Horn said: "Lord Rogge, you are surprising me more and more. It's just that people like us who live in the darkness cannot enjoy too much glory in the sun. To be fair, the King of Latvia gave me Everything is enough to compensate for my achievements."
Rogge smiled lightly. The Holy Alliance advocates knights, believes in light, and respects brave warriors, so the status of those who do your job is not high. But I am different. In my eyes, the importance of the intelligence network and the underground world is no less important than the most powerful knights and special warriors in my hands. After evaluating the entire Kingdom of Latvia, I found that your talent is extraordinary. Although your strength in the underground world is far inferior to mine, that is because you have too few people who can be reused. I think you must know better than me what to do about people like you. There is still plenty of time to think this over carefully. "
After saying that, Rogge galloped forward, leaving Horn where he was.
"What can you do to someone like me? If I can use you, then I can only kill the general. He smiled bitterly and looked a little older.
After several days of marching, Rogge's army finally entered Wright Fortress. At this moment, more than 60,000 coalition troops are facing off against 80,000 Asrofiks on the Campas Plain. The two sides have already engaged in a series of small-scale battles, with each winning or losing.
The generals on both sides were not sure of victory and were still waiting for reinforcements from their own sides. Therefore, these battles were just to test the weaknesses of their opponents.
The thousands of besieged border garrison troops in the Kingdom of Livi have been completely wiped out, and more than 20,000 Asrofic troops are rushing towards the Campas Plain with all their strength, which will arrive in four days.
But the situation seems to be more favorable to the coalition forces.
Rogge's 40,000 troops have arrived at Wright Fortress, only two days away from the main battlefield. Behind Rogge, the 20,000 newly recruited reserve troops from the Kingdom of Latvia are gathering, while the 50,000 main troops from the Kingdom of Leighton are almost finished resting and can arrive at Wright Fortress within a week. There are also 20,000 elite Leyton Kingdom warriors, preparing to cross the territory of the two small principalities in the east and outflank Duke Doliac's retreat.
Since Doliak dared to go deep alone and face an enemy with numerical superiority alone, then according to the glorious tradition of the Holy Alliance, these 100,000 Asrophics should not even think about returning home.
The Wright Fortress was close to being abandoned because it was located in the hinterland and the cost of maintenance was too expensive. However, the great civil war of the Holy Alliance and the invasion of the Asroviks made this fortress even more important.
Now Leyte Fortress has become the most important transfer station between the front line and the rear. All kinds of military supplies and food are piled up in the fortress.
Along the way of the Arei team, the Latvians never treated Rogge badly. As long as it is a reasonable military requirement, the Latvians will try their best to satisfy it.
For this, Rogge showed no gratitude at all.
He said to Charlie: "The Latvians want our soldiers to fight for them. Of course, they must give them good weapons and armor, and let them eat well. The war compensation paid to us is actually just an advance payment for soldiers' pensions." That’s all.”
The Wright Fortress is not too big, but after 40,000 soldiers from the Principality of Are entered the fortress, it became quite crowded inside. Under the instruction of General Horn, the fortress garrison officer ordered the two thousand fortress garrison troops to give up all the rooms and try to let the soldiers of the Principality of Arei rest.
Latvian soldiers and Are soldiers already disliked each other, and this order aroused a backlash from the entire fortress garrison. This is how the fortress garrison comforted his soldiers: "Anyway, those useless Arele rookies will go to the battlefield to die tomorrow, so let them have their last comfortable night!"
Rogge planned to rest for a day at Wright Fortress, replenish military supplies, and then rush to the main battlefield to support the next day. The amount of military supplies required by Rogge is very large, especially the high-end arrows required by the elf archers. In one afternoon, Rogge emptied all the arrows stored in Wright Fortress.
It was almost dusk when Roger came to Androni's room and knocked lightly on the door.
"Is something wrong? Don't bother me if you have nothing to do. I'm busy!" Androni replied angrily.
During the march, Androni looked like she was distracted. Whenever she had time, she would hide alone and practice fighting spirit or sword skills. She knew that dryness was a taboo for warriors, but she had already tasted the taste of the sanctuary once. Just like a glutton, how could she not think about it day and night after taking a bite of a very delicious dish
It is obvious that Androni has not made any progress these days, which can be seen from the fact that she appears in front of Roger less and less often, and her temper is getting worse and worse.
Roger still knocked on the door.
Since that night, Androni's room has become a highly dangerous area. She was obsessed with practicing martial arts and never left the starry sky, so Rogge never dared to risk breaking in again. It would definitely not be a joke if Miss Androni, who was in a state of confusion, struck her with the starry sky.
Androni opened the door suddenly. Her eyes were bloodshot. It seemed that she had been working very hard these past few days.
She glared at Fatty Rogge, "I'm in a bad mood recently! If you have something to say, tell me quickly, I'm warning you, don't mess with me!"
Rogge looked Androni up and down, then smiled and said, "Is there no progress in the Holy Domain yet?"
Androni said dejectedly: "Nonsense! Will I be in such a bad mood if there is progress? I know this can't be rushed... but how can I make people not be anxious!"
Rogge tentatively said with a bad smile: "Annie, since you have used the power of the Holy Realm once, it means that your own power is enough, and the only thing missing is comprehension. In my opinion, the best way is Just do what you did that night again. As long as you try a few more times, you will definitely be able to find the feeling."
Androni's face turned cold. She carried Rogge into the room like lightning and closed the door.
She was close to Rogge, her beautiful big eyes were slightly narrowed, and she looked at him carefully.
At such a close distance, Androni's beauty is almost breathtaking. Rogge was so excited that even though he was being held in the air, he still reached out to hug her.
Immediately afterwards, a huge pain came from his lower body, causing Rogge to suddenly open his mouth. His face turned pale, and for a moment, he couldn't even scream.
Androni's knee strike was really accurate and cruel. Her movements were as fast as lightning, but also silent. Rogge was completely unaware that he had received a severe blow to his vital part.
Androni sneered and said: "I told you not to mess with me now! It would be nice if I didn't settle accounts with you about what happened that night! You still dare to make random decisions. Okay, since you have touched me, Then I'll pay you back, isn't that fair?" As soon as she let go, Roger fell helplessly to the ground.
Rogge curled up into a ball, his face was pale, he was trembling, and he didn't even moan.
"Stop pretending to be dead! Do you think I don't know your special physique? This strength would have killed an ordinary person long ago, but you are definitely fine!"
But Rogge was still trembling, and slowly he groaned.
Androni finally became a little worried, squatted down, and gently helped Rogge up.
Rogge suddenly let out a strange scream and threw her to the ground!
Judging from the smug smile on his face, the tragic scene just now was clearly an act.
Androni struggled for a moment. If she didn't use fighting spirit and fought purely on absolute strength, she would definitely not be Rogge's opponent. So even though she struggled, she couldn't push Roger down.
Seeing Rogge's face getting closer and closer, Androni suddenly gave up her struggle, closed her eyes, turned her head to one side, and left one side of her cheek to him.
But her body became extremely stiff in an instant, her face turned pale, and Rogge could see thin beads of sweat oozing out. It seemed that she was suppressing her physical discomfort. He acquiesced in Rogge's kiss, probably to compensate for the knee-bump just now.
Snapped!
Roger's kiss was very artistic. His lips just brushed her face slightly, but the sound was extremely loud. Then he jumped up and dodged a slap from Androni, who was ashamed and angry.
He pulled Androni up, and seeing that her expression was still very bad, he asked with a smile: "Annie, are you going to vomit again?"
Androni took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's okay, I can still bear it... I just don't have the strength anymore."
"Okay, let's get down to business." Rogge put away his evil smile and said seriously: "Annie, get ready, we are going to kill someone tonight." (Quanben Novel Network www.QuANbEn-XiAoShUo.com)
