All kinds of information flew into the command room of the Reef Castle like snowflakes. All the staff and civilian staff barely had time to breathe, desperately processing all kinds of information, and then handed over the results to Sauron and Richard. decision.
"Sir, the Black Blood Legion's attack has been frustrated and they are in a stalemate with the enemy. They need follow-up support."
"Sir, the three brigades of magic knights we sent eliminated the target brigades of magic knights ahead of schedule, resulting in 20% casualties."
"Sir, Colson's army has found a weak point in the opponent's defense and is marching in."
"Sir, Commander Lawrence was killed in battle, and we recovered his body. However, more than 50% of Commander Lawrence's subordinates suffered casualties. Their morale is extremely low, and the organization can hardly remain intact..."
"grown ups… "
“…”
Think, keep thinking, and then make a decision.
Every decision is related to hundreds of lives, but here, it is just a simple calculation.
"Order the Black Blood Legion to hold on for half an hour to buy time for support."
"Order the three groups of magic knights to retreat, repair and rush to support the Black Blood Legion."
"Order Colson's Corps to advance to an appropriate distance and establish a defensive front, hold the area, and with the support of follow-up forces, strive to cut through the Sika people's defense line."
"Order the Lawrence Army to withdraw from the battle sequence, send the reserve Blood Blade Army to the top, and let the 7th Army of the Second Alliance make preparations. The gap must be opened in an hour."
"Order… "
Time passes so quickly, and the borders are either attacking or defending, and they are constantly changing.
It took a full night, and after paying the price of heavy casualties for three legions, a gap was finally opened in the northern section of the battlefield, which was the location where Colson's legion originally attacked, and successfully pulled the balance of the war towards the Soma Alliance. aside.
Then there is the need to consolidate the results at all costs and defend against the counterattack of the Sika Kingdom.
After spending another day, the advantage became irreversible. The border of the Sika Kingdom was almost completely breached. The Sika Kingdom dropped countless corpses and began to retreat.
The war finally comes to an end...
But it didn’t.
The army of the Sika Kingdom is not a pig. Even if the defense line is breached, it will not be a large-scale rout, but an orderly retreat and a selective break-up.
After paying a certain amount of casualties, the Sika Kingdom's army successfully withdrew to the second line of defense and resumed its fight against the Soma Alliance's attack.
The Soma Alliance army had no good way to deal with this, so they repaired briefly and resumed their attack.
The war begins again.
When the endless ground was dyed red with blood, the second line of defense of the Sika Kingdom was broken through.
Then there is the third line of defense and the fourth line of defense.
It was not until the fifth and final line of defense collapsed that the army of the Sika Kingdom officially declared failure and had to give up a large area of territory and retreat inland, trying to exchange territory for counterattack opportunities.
The war is finally over...
Of course it is not.
After struggling to break through the five lines of defense, the army of the Sika Kingdom retreated, and the army of the Soma Alliance pursued. This was the time when the hard work finally reaped the fruits.
It's like exploring the ruins until the end, and finally opening a treasure chest full of wealth. What you have to do is not just take a good rest where you are, but find a way to take the treasure out.
So in the command room, not only did there not be any rest, but it was even busier than before, issuing various orders, striving to inflict maximum blood loss on the Sika Kingdom's army, and striving to occupy the many military cities, strongholds, and fortresses abandoned by the opponent as quickly as possible...
rush! rush! rush!
This continued until five days later, when it finally... finally came to an end.
The army of the Sika Kingdom suffered nearly half casualties - two coalition armies were wiped out, and after giving up a large amount of territory, they fled deep into the country and were almost impossible to pursue.
The Soma Alliance continues to fight with high intensity. Both the front-line army and the logistics force have reached their limits. Continuing to pursue them by force is not only ineffective, but will also cause heavy losses if the opponent reacts.
Ever since, the Soma Alliance began to formally repair, digest the occupied territory, consolidate its strength, and prepare for the second offensive.
In the command room, Richard had some rest time.
Supreme Commander Solon Bonaparte had not slept for who knows how many days and nights, his eyes were almost completely red. After receiving the last military report, he was sure that the situation was completely under control. He took a long breath and turned to look at Richard.
"Your Excellency Richard, we can rest for a few days."
"Um..." Richard said. He really didn't want to talk to Sauron at this time, because he just responded and ended up being busy for five days. You must be careful when talking to people like Sauron.
"This war has such good results, I really have to thank Sir Richard." Sauron continued, "When Sir Richard came to the Reef Castle, I really thought he was just exercising his supervisory duties and hoping not to cause trouble. That's good. I didn't expect that Sir Richard came with the idea of helping, and his command knowledge is not low. I dare not say that this war cannot be won without Sir Richard, but if it were not for Sir Richard , If you want to achieve the current situation, you must work harder."
The words were pleasant enough... But it was of no use... After listening to Sauron's words, Richard continued to speak vaguely, without answering directly: "Uh..."
"When this war is over, I must take credit for His Excellency Richard and let His Majesty reward you. Now, Your Excellency Richard should be tired, so go and have a good rest."
"Okay, bye!" Richard waved goodbye and walked out of the command room neatly, without giving the other party a chance to stay.
…
I don’t know when it will light up outside. It is noon and the sun is very dazzling.
Walking in the sunshine, Richard couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He was really tired these past few days and was doubting his life.
To be honest, it's not that he doesn't work so hard in normal times, it can even exceed it, but that's all for himself. What's going on now
Richard thought and took a deep breath.
Come on, think things through.
The reason why he went to Xiaya was because he received an invitation from the black-faced old man Oscar. On the other hand, he also wanted to borrow books from the Alliance Royal Library to decipher the Balta script through his relationship.
As a result, Oscar informed him that the books in the Royal Library were not so easy to borrow, which frustrated his plan. However, Oscar said that he could provide some information first. In order not to owe any favors, he gave the location information of the colorful ring provided by Bibi.
I don’t know what happened after that, which caused the Sika Kingdom to create friction on the border, causing the Soma Alliance to launch a national war. At this time, Oscar jumped out and said that he could give him books in the royal library, and he could give him double the amount, on the condition that he would serve as an army command adviser and lead the army to victory.
He made it clear at that time that without command experience, he was afraid that he would not be able to help. Oscar said not to worry, he could take a temporary post and other people would handle the matter. In addition, if he wanted to help, he could also mobilize the army.
In other words, he has rights but no obligations.
This is obviously illogical. In order to find out the true purpose of Oscar and the Alliance Emperor, after arriving at the Reef Castle, he conducted a test to see if he really had the so-called rights as Oscar said.
Who would have thought that after testing and testing, he would get involved - the rights were indeed proven, and the obligations followed - he was dragged back and forth by Sauron for a week, commanding the completion of this border defense breakthrough battle.
Is this the purpose of Oscar and the Alliance Emperor
