Heart of Empire

Chapter 536: main attack direction

Views:

The fall of the Silver City and the appearance of two legendary powerhouses caused a series of reactions to the battle situation.

First of all, the Legion of the Holy Empire, which had already approached the silver and white capital, stopped its actions urgently. After they received the front battle report and realized that it was impossible to rescue the Silver City, they simply gave up on this plan.

General Wymir built a line of defense on the spot, and immediately sent a message to Duke Vashared, warning them not to approach the Silver City any further, and also made a request that the two sides should unite as one.

The current situation is no longer something that any of them can solve alone. Just the existence of the two legends of Michaud and Cleostraz is not something that the two armies can fight against separately.

Taking advantage of the fact that the undead troops were still chasing and killing the refugees in the Silver City, the two armies did not rush to find trouble with those undead, but first circled around the Silver City and joined together before starting to be cautious. action.

At the same time, after receiving the news from General Wymir, the Holy Empire finally realized the seriousness of the problem. They began to continue to dispatch troops in the country, and there were rumors that the Knights Templar were about to dispatch.

This means that the Holy Empire intends to get serious.

In addition to domestic military mobilization, the Holy Empire has also become serious about diplomacy. The envoys from the Holy See arrived at White Wolf Castle as quickly as possible and met with Prime Minister Verina.

This time, the diplomatic proposal made by the Holy Empire seemed much more sincere. They no longer regard the curse of the church and the outbreak of undead turmoil as an opportunity to weaken the eastern countries, but seriously regard it as a catastrophe that may sweep the world.

The most concentrated expression is that they are no longer like before, always urging Schindler to send troops to the Pudley Kingdom, but mentioned in-depth military cooperation. The specific proposal is that Schindler must resist the attack of the undead in the grip of the iron horse, and must not let the turmoil of the undead spread to the whole of Florence. At the same time, Schindler and the Holy Alliance concluded a temporary cooperative military agreement. The two sides will no longer be hostile and will jointly fight against the invasion of the undead. When necessary, the armies of both sides will work together to wipe out the spreading undead army.

Dane had no reason to refuse such a proposal. Needless to say, the Holy Empire, the defense line of the Iron Horse Grip is absolutely impossible for the Hindlers to give up. As for cooperation, in order to eliminate the Church of the Damned, it is also an inevitable choice.

After sending away the envoys of the Holy Empire, Dane quickly made corresponding actions.

First of all, Eslor was sent out. This legendary priest would go to the iron horse's grip defense line and cooperate with Patience to prevent the enemy's legend from turning to the iron horse's grip to do things.

And Dane himself is ready to go to Emhar.

The White Wolf Army and the Cormyr Army, which had been in their hands for a long time, finally planned to move out.

His goal is the direction of Broken Dragon Peak.

Dane had also thought about which direction to use the general reserve team in his hands.

It stands to reason that although Emhar's defensive pressure is great, but with his own strong defensive ability, he is not very worried about being breached.

In fact, this is exactly the case. The undead army that emerged from the direction of Broken Dragon Peak at the beginning totaled 40,000, and they were all the main force. Among them, powerful units such as ghouls and black warriors occupied an absolute Most of them, even on the battlefield, there have appeared many times such as Gargoyle-like air force, vampire-like high-mobility units that can not only fly, but also have special magic-like abilities, and even include two skeleton dragons.

However, these undead were not able to do anything to Emhar after all.

Not to mention conquering Emhar, they haven't even been able to break through the defense of the gate so far. The 40,000 undead army has lost more than 15,000 under the city of Emhar until now, and their vitality has been seriously injured. Moreover, in the desolate mountainous area around Emhar, the undead have no place to replenish their troops. They can only mobilize their strength from the depths of Broken Dragon Peak and the place connected to the dark jungle.

But obviously, the troops that the Cursed Church can mobilize are not unlimited. They have invested a considerable amount of troops in the west, in the Grip of the Iron Horse and in the territory of the Pudli Kingdom. Not to mention the low-level undead that were temporarily converted, it was just the main force of the Church of the Cursed that emerged from the dark forest, and the total number of the three battlefields was almost 100,000.

It is difficult for them to continue to draw any more power.

Therefore, when the troops attacking Emhar suffered heavy losses, in Broken Dragon Peak, these undead were very well-behaved and honest for a while. It wasn't until recently that their number recovered to more than 30,000 before they began to try to take action.

Of course, this so-called action was not to hit Emhar. The well-behaved undead have realized that Emhar is a very hard nut to crack, and they began to turn their attention to other directions.

For example, bypass Emhal and continue westward, trying to burn the flames of war directly to Schindler's homeland.

Of course, Emhart's defense capability is very strong. With a force of 4,000 people, he can withstand more than ten times the enemy's attack, but when the enemy no longer focuses all their attention on Emhart When they started to turn to other routes, the dwarves had nothing to do.

They were able to fight on par with the enemy because of the protection of the city. If you go out to fight... Of course, the soldiers in Emhar are all elite troops, but it is impossible to compete with the numerical superiority and its huge undead army in the field.

But it doesn't matter, in Beast Blood Fort, there is also Delin's Fifth Army.

After the fall of the Pudri Kingdom, the army of the Holy Empire and the Duke of Vasareid combined together and began to fight against the undead. In the east of Schindler, the Fifth Army also followed the undead who came down from Broken Dragon Peak. Several large-scale battles took place.

Deling did a pretty good job. He successfully kept the enemy out of the border, which meant that the situation in Schindler's East Territory was still stable for the time being.

This factor also prompted Dane to consider whether he should personally take the two main armies in his hand to Florence to join Patience's army and completely defeat the undead army in front of the Iron Horse Grip. Lose.

But later, when a new news came, Dane changed his mind directly.
