In a war, the party who takes the initiative often has many advantages, the most important of which is probably the choice of the initiative, launching a planned battle in the area selected by oneself.
If you still can't gain an advantage, it basically means that the gap in strength has reached the point where tactics and strategies cannot make up for it. No matter what you do, it will be difficult to win.
As predicted by the joint headquarters, the two-front war put a lot of pressure on the devil. Countless balls of light rose on the east front that started the war first, and the dragon knights and the elite battle group broke through the defense line at the same time, making it clear that it was a decisive battle. The situation is actually an implicated suppression attack.
The big devils stationed on the western front got news that, under the drive of the king of devils, they went to the eastern front as soon as possible, and a few hours later, the war on the western front also ignited at the same time, and it burned even more vigorously.
The icy ocean became an ice bridge for landing, and the successful landing at the dead end of the defense net made the original defense line and fortress a waste, and the close distance between Esso Reeves and the west coast became a fatal injury to the defenders.
As long as they march with all their strength, the legions on the western front will soon touch the extension of Aesso Revis, and the gate of the plane in the inner city of Aeso Reeves is the last hope of the devils.
It can be said that this knife is quite vicious, and it will attack the enemy's vital points when it comes up, forcing the opponent to save it, or it will be finished if it is not saved.
As a result, the Great Devil and Devil Legion, who had just set off for the Eastern Front overnight, immediately received a new order to return to the Western Front for defense, and even mobilized the Eastern Front's combat power to supplement it.
From the point of view of command, such an order is correct, but considering the actual situation on the current battlefield, it is obviously a bit stupid.
"Sometimes east, sometimes west, the old third (Salweinstein) is also confused."
"Is the order you received to go east or west? I only received one order to go east, but I'm already on the east front."
"The Third Army is gone? I know they went there. Maybe they went around to ambush their opponents and want them to go back to the east? Go find someone yourself."
War orders in this era, in most cases, are still relatively primitive manual transmission, and some magic props are used. These magic items that can be transmitted remotely are all rare goods. In previous wars, generals and marshals can enjoy this kind of Treatment, even if the devil is rich enough, it can only be equipped for those high-level devils and big devils.
Humans are still using magic technology creations, and other races are also imitating and updating their battlefield communication methods, but the youngest of those lower planes may have a history of hundreds of years. On the one hand, a long history represents honor and peace. Records, and an organization that is too complete and closed also represents overconfidence in oneself and skepticism of new things.
The Devil's Legion is still the same war organization that it used to be thousands of years ago. The messengers sent out were flying all over the sky, but the chaotic battlefield situation made it difficult for the messengers to complete their tasks, and there was even a funny situation where the order to "return to the western line of defense" before "set off to the east".
Some devil lords, looking at the two completely opposite orders in front of them, didn't know how to deal with them. In the end, they simply killed a messenger, as if he brought false news that disturbed people's hearts.
Devils are not good birds. For them, weak mortals are not worth mentioning, and it is the same kind that must be guarded the most.
In the pyramid-structured devil society, the most joyful thing is never victory, honor or the like, but the sudden death of one's own boss, making room for him. Therefore, in the chaos, many high-level leaders The commander was inexplicably hot-headed, completed the fatal charge, and died in the battlefield in an instant.
In the past, it was probably considered a "normal consumption" that was accustomed to, and it was even considered to be beneficial to the renewal of the devil society, so that the incompetent were naturally eliminated, but now, it has made the chaos even more protracted.
The worst part is the next part of the order, they draw the strength of the eastern front in an attempt to strengthen the defense of Aesso Reeves.
The order seems normal, but if you are in such an environment, facing the terrible dragon and the goddamn light, although the battle is hard, and your brother chapter is holding on not far away, barely You can still hold on... Then your brother's army suddenly runs away, the position is given to the opponent, and you are double-teamed.
"They all ran away, we have been abandoned, whoever doesn't run is stupid."
Chaos is easy to spread, and the more urgent orders are issued, if there is no orderly command system, the command will create more chaos.
In the past, this was not a problem, because each legion was relatively independent, and each legion had its own subordinate legion and superior subordinate, layer by layer, and finally, offered loyalty to a certain devil king.
In the past, the devil kings would take action in person, each of them quelled their own ace legion, and then contacted their subordinate legion, which also quelled the scene, but now, there are only two devil kings left, most of the ace legion. The leaders are all vacant, and the most chaotic ones are probably the ace battle groups that have lost their snake heads.
Salweinstein may be a good king, but he is definitely not an excellent battlefield commander. Since those devil kings are gone, he has not hesitated to embezzle their legion, and has drawn the most likely successor from the legion. The long high-level, sent his confidant.
In addition, during the establishment of the Underworld, most of the ancient devils who had experienced hundreds of battles chose to leave. The devil's army lost its core and veteran backbone, and its strength was greatly damaged. The comprehensive combat power is probably less than one-third of the original.
Although his authority has been consolidated through a series of measures, at this time, the truly authoritative and prestige veterans are gone, and only some "little people" who can only tell the truth, plus the tradition of the devil... In many strengths At the same time that the unfortunate but high-ranking devil officer disappeared, the chaos was not limited, but expanded due to the needs of those who cared about it.
The main force of the Eastern Front was withdrawn, causing the second-line legions on the Eastern Front to be in a panic of being abandoned. Many legions began to retreat without a clear order. Before the victory on the main battlefield of the Western Front, the battlefield of the Eastern Front was faintly collapsed. omen.
Even the Royal Dragoons and White Wolf Guards, who are the main force of the sharp sword, can't believe that the legendary Devil Legion is so easy to deal with, and there are signs of collapse before the battle
Of course, it is impossible for the devil to watch this happen. Salweinstein personally went to the Eastern Front to calm down the scene and stabilize people's hearts. The last remaining Devil Lord was given the same task, but his goal was to Wire.
At this time, I was a little hesitant, looking at the super-giant golden phoenix towering into the clouds in front of me.
"This golden crispy chicken just looks delicious... Ahem, kill the devil king, little Tias won't trouble me."
