Heart of Empire

Chapter 578: Sweep Pudley

Views:

New Caesar calendar 223 years, March 9th.

This year, spring in Pudri and Florence came earlier than in previous years. The warm wind blowing from the sea in the south blows over the land, and also blows over Tuga Port, the seaside port in the south of the Pudli Kingdom.

And here, at this moment, is a field of fighting. Patience's group army is fighting against the undead in Tuga Port.

The Patience Legion had already received orders from the Kingdom's military department earlier, and struck out from the fir collar, smashing into the territory of the Pudry Kingdom.

Although Dane accepted the conditions of the Holy Empire, in the end he still did not decide to send troops on the spot, but delayed the time until the end of the New Year, until March.

It's not that the Holy Empire has no opinion on this, it's just that they didn't make it clear that they can't continue to fight against the Kingdom of Hindler.

The reason is very simple. Just after the new year, the war on the western border of the empire completely broke out. The elite magic corps of the Evert Federation officially launched an attack on the Holy Empire. Earlier, the strong attitude of the empire showed their nature of being strong on the outside but on the inside. The Evert Federation is officially preparing to take advantage of the fire.

For this reason, His Majesty the Pope went to the battlefield in person to sit on the western front and stabilize the situation.

Evert is also a powerful country. Although the land area is not too large, the prosperous magic civilization has brought them strong combat power. The strength of the three major magisters should not be underestimated either.

In order to ensure the situation on the battlefield, Paladin Richard was transferred from the undead battlefield on the Eastern Front to the Western Front.

Without Richard, the already insufficient army of the Holy Empire would not be able to cause any trouble to the undead in the Silver City.

The army retreated, giving up the land obtained by countless soldiers in bloody battles, and built a line of defense seventy or eighty kilometers away from the silver capital, fighting back and forth with the undead who were not very active for two months. During the time, there was no major battle.

Then, it was time for the Kingdom of Schindler to send troops.

Patience fought fiercely in the eastern border of the Pudley Kingdom, cleared Yorkshire within a week, and headed south, and has already begun a fierce attack on Tuga Port.

Tuga Port is an important port of the Pudli Kingdom. The reason for attacking here is to further welcome reinforcements.

The scheduled arrival time of the White Wolf Legion and the Cormyr Army from Shawan Harbor is March 9th.

The attack on the port of Tuga went smoothly. Within the port, there are not too few undead, ranging from 10,000 to 20,000.

The reason why there are so many is because the Church of the Damned has established the flesh and blood workshop and the psychic tower in Tuga Port, constantly awakening the undead.

However, the fighting power of these newly awakened undead is not strong. Skeletons and zombies accounted for the vast majority, and there were not many ghouls, let alone other advanced undead troops.

That night, Patience's vanguard had entered the city and used alchemy explosives to destroy the Church of the Damned's psychic tower and flesh and blood workshop.

There are still many undead in the city, but it doesn't matter. Schindler's soldiers are clearing up these undead in the city. They won't be around for too long, and the next battle is not difficult.

Patience, on the other hand, led her personal guards to clear out the pier and made preparations to welcome the legion from the country.

A mighty fleet has appeared on the coastline. After they received the message from Patience on the shore, they approached slowly and entered the port.

Ships were leaning against the shore, and heavily armed soldiers stepped off the ships one by one, and under the leadership of the officers, quickly formed a battle formation, and headed for the interior of Tuga Port according to the predetermined plan, joining The battle to wipe out the remaining undead.

And Patience was summoned to the ship to meet His Majesty the King.

On the second day, Dane and Patience walked out of the captain's cabin, and invited all the generals to have dinner together on the Yellow Dragon.

After the dinner, Dane and his generals did not leave, but held a military meeting on the spot to formulate the subsequent attack plan.

Two days later, Tuga Port was officially cleared. The King's Guards, the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Armies, the White Wolf Army, and the Cormyr Army, a total of 80,000 elite soldiers, set off from Tuga Port and headed west.

The combat effectiveness of the army led by Dane is absolutely guaranteed. Since the establishment of the Kingdom of Schindler, there has been no peace at all for a few years, either there is a war here or there. The army honed from the flames of war, and produced by the system base, has a very strong combat effectiveness. And even the armies that basically have no systematic arms like the King's Guards and the Fourth and Sixth Legions are actually very powerful, probably stronger than the main forces of some big countries.

On the marching route of Schindler's army, all undead troops who dared to stand in front of the army were undoubtedly crushed into dross.

The Schindlers slaughtered the undead and destroyed buildings with dark magic. Some small groups of human refugees who survived in the occupied areas were taken in and sent to the Port of Tuga for temporary resettlement, and they were loaded onto the fleet in batches and sent to the City of Bauhinia in the Principality of Florence for temporary settlement. placement.

Population is also an important resource. Dane was also counting on returning these refugees to their old land and rebuilding their homes after taking down Pudry.

While the legion led by Dane was marching forward in the southern part of the Pudley Kingdom, an extremely large undead legion also emerged from the Forest of Four Fields.

After hearing the news, the Holy Empire panicked.

They thought that this was the new army sent here from the dark forest after the Church of the Cursed had been silent for a long time.

Especially after they found out the number of this undead army, they were even more desperate. There are 200,000 undead troops, including a lot of elites, even if there are Schindlers, it will be an extremely difficult battle.

Lord Joberdin sent an urgent letter through spells, hoping to discuss this issue with His Majesty Dane, and hoped to formulate a strategy to deal with it.

In the end, Dane rejected it, and the reason was just one sentence: "Just wait and see."

What happened next surprised the people of the Holy Empire—these more than 200,000 undead emerged from the forest of Siye, the northern part of the Pudley Kingdom, and marched westward all the way. It's all cleaned up!
