PS. The map in the group has been updated to the February 7th version. There will be many new areas and cities in the future. It will be easier to read in combination with the map.
Avalon, the middle of the Grand Canal, Lawrence City.
Barca, who fled here to rest for half a day, suddenly got the news from Bob: "Your Majesty, the magic biography, Lane City has fallen."
Bassa took the magic biography in Bob's hand and read it. The more he read, the more frightened he became.
Where is this fall, it is clearly razed to the ground by the Chinese people.
It took hundreds of years and nearly a thousand years to build such a magnificent city after the construction of the Avalon emperors of all dynasties. In the blink of an eye, it was blown away in the war.
Barca's heart is bleeding, and he is ashamed of his ancestors.
The sturdy Lane City wall actually failed to stop the Chinese attack, which surprised Barcelona.
"Isn't the city wall made of stone with high magic resistance? What's going on? Is it because the time has passed and the magic resistance has disappeared?"
In the face of Barcelona's doubts, the imperial marshal Bob explained: "The magic resistance of the stone will not decrease with the passage of time. The information obtained by the minister shows that the Chinese people are not using magic, but a magic weapon. Something called gunpowder or dynamite.
This attack method is close to a physical attack, and of course it is not completely a physical attack.
Although the city wall of Lane City is solid, it is still unable to withstand the attack of gunpowder and explosives from the Chinese people over time. "
But even if it is a physical defense, Barcelona knows the strength of the city walls of Lane City, and the creation of the emperors of the past dynasties, Lane City has long become a city that will not fall.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that its strength is no worse than Alan's Shield.
But what Bassa never expected was that Lane City fell in more than a day, and the city wall became a piece of ruins in the gunpowder and explosives of the Chinese people.
"Where's the knight of prophecy?"
Bob shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it was killed by the Chinese.
It is said that because of the guardianship of the knights of prophecy, the Chinese people could not be attacked for a long time, which made the Chinese people really move.
The knights of prophecy will probably end up coexisting with Lane City. "
For Bob's analysis, Barcelona took it seriously. After all, the knights of prophecy existed to protect the Aghanim Continent.
In order to protect the Aghanim Continent from the invasion of the Demon King's army, Emperor Aghanim created 12 powerful knights to protect the country.
However, it is predicted that the Knights are not the opponents of the Chinese, and Barcelona also has certain psychological preparations.
In the civil strife in the Panda Empire, the Calamity Knight Carlos was defeated by the Chinese, and the entire Carlos City was controlled by the fallen brave.
There are also rumors that the star knight Kevin was defeated by the Chinese and captured by the Chinese.
The two knights excavated from the Panda Empire were not the opponents of the Chinese.
As for the legendary Nightmare Knight, I don't know where he is now, probably because of the fiasco of Carlos and Kevin, he was frightened.
Of the 12 knights protecting the country, 3 have now been lost, and 1 has been frightened. There are not many knights left for the northern countries of the Aghanim continent.
Bob continued: "It seems that the Chinese people did not move forward after capturing Lane City. Chen guessed that there should be a problem with the supply. The distance from the Abyss to Lane City is almost the same as the length of the Avalon Grand Canal. already."
Bassa nodded: "So it is."
Bob said: "I will organize the defeated southern army to launch a harassment war on the Huaxia people's supply line."
The Southern Legion was the troop that Bassa stayed in Lane City to delay the Chinese waiting for reinforcements from the Holy See, but after Lane City was attacked, it was a leaflet and an intimidation. Many soldiers of the Southern Legion lost their weapons and fled north. .
Looking at the soldiers of the Southern Legion, Bassa was not angry.
Now that Bob is going to use these soldiers of the Southern Legion again, Barcelona will hand over this matter to Bob: "Well, you can arrange this matter, all the soldiers of the Southern Legion are under your command.
The nobles south of the Avalon River are all at your disposal. "
"Thank you for your trust, I will do my best to stop the Chinese people from going north."
…
A city not far west of Lane City, Foslia.
The Holy See's vanguard has already been stationed in the city. The commander-in-chief of the vanguard, the 55-year-old general Montreal, was riding a white unicorn horse in holy armor, watching the vanguard who came to report the battle situation. Scout.
"General! Lane City has been razed to the ground by the Demon King's army! More than 100,000 Avalon troops have been wiped out!"
Montreal squinted, looked at the scout, and murmured, "The Demon King's army is far more powerful than the Holy See imagined."
Montreal is a famous general of the Holy See. He has heard of how strong the defense of Lane City is.
And the combat effectiveness of the Avalon Empire soldiers, Montreal has also experienced.
The Holy See and Avalon often have border frictions, and sometimes even a large-scale battle breaks out.
It happened that Montreal had commanded the soldiers of the Holy See to fight against the emperor's direct troops of the Avalon Empire, and the opponent happened to be the Avalon veteran Bob.
The news received a few days ago was still asking the vanguard to help Lane City. The letter of help written by Bob himself. After receiving the letter, Montreal also knew the seriousness of the situation. Bob was able to send an emergency call for help, how powerful the other party was.
Montreal also immediately accelerated the advance of the vanguard.
But only a few days later, the news was that Lane City was razed to the ground, and the elites of Lane City were wiped out.
This is an army of more than 100,000 people, and Montreal can't help shaking its head.
With this configuration, let him fight, at least give him the same amount of troops to be able to wrestle with the opponent's version.
However, now the elites like Avalon are gone.
Montreal didn't dare to step in. No matter how enthusiastic and morale the entire Eastern Expedition team was, in the face of objective facts and the reality that the Demon King's army was stronger than expected, Montreal could only give in.
Montreal pulled out the map provided by Avalon from the harness and looked at it for a while, then immediately ordered, "Stop advancing eastward!"
The vanguard soldiers of the Holy See Eastern Expedition began to "buzz" about this order from Montreal, and their morale was like a rainbow. Why did they stop going east
But they are generals and commanders. In a place with strict hierarchy like the Holy See, no one is allowed to refute their superiors.
Imagine Chinese Network
Immediately afterwards, Montreal ordered: "The Knights of the Holy Grail establish a defense line in Foslia!
The Knights of the Academy entered Mentnell City, and established a defense line with Mentnell as the core!
The rest of the knights followed me back to Ole City, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Eastern Expedition in the South! "
The commanders of the Knights were very puzzled by General Montreal's order, and they stepped forward to ask why.
Montreal naturally did not explain too much to them, and the Pioneer Army had fallen into a frenetic atmosphere of the Eastern Expedition.
If you tell them directly, the Demon King's army is too sharp, and in order to avoid its sharp edge, it will arouse the blood of the knight leaders and the Demon King's army to fight.
Montreal coldly threw out a sentence: "There are not so many reasons, I was appointed by His Majesty to lead the main southern vanguard, and you must act according to my orders.
The Knights of the Holy Grail established a defense line here, the Knights of the Academy established a defense line in Mentenelle, and the rest of the Knights followed me to Ole City.
In addition, in the name of the Holy See and the leaders of the coalition forces, the nearby nobles were required to surrender all levies to the Holy See. "
"Yes!"
Although the commanders of the Knights were very puzzled by the orders of Montreal, they were also well-known veterans of the Holy See after all. That was with Bob and Irevan of Avalon, Sissi and Isabelle of Panda. The generals who are equally famous as Laura and Margaret should have his own ideas.
Although the knight captains were a little dissatisfied, they finally followed the orders of Montreal.
The powerful strength of CPA in Lane City stopped the sensible Montreal from advancing.
It is precisely because of this that the two sides temporarily entered a stage of confrontation in the south of Avalon.
However, south of the Outer Great Wall in the south of Avalon, on the Black Iron Plateau, the officers and soldiers of the Pangu strategic base also collided with the legendary Black Iron dwarves.
Dark Iron Kingdom, a closed kingdom where magic, steam and machinery coexist.
