18th century total war

Chapter 419 Desperate

"Your Majesty, Europa has a vast territory, developed industry, and a large population... Even though it is weak in magic, it has been able to catch up because the Magic Guild led by Merlin joined.

In the face-to-face decisive battle, the empire's chances of winning are extremely low, and the other actions from Makabaka either stand on the sidelines or want to annex the empire, which is completely hopeless.

The empire's military strength is limited. For the current plan, we should try our best to avoid decisive battles, abandon the urban plains with obvious targets, and shift our strategy to the mountains and jungles where it is easy to hide, or simply move south collectively and enter the Mexican territory of Europa to support wars! "

Alensus glanced at the minister who spoke impassionedly, and couldn't help feeling angry.

The other party is trying to make the Odin royal family a gang of rogues!

The Arigado Empire has been established for thousands of years, why is there such a tragic situation?

The royal family of Odin is shameless!

Even if you are shameless... How can you support yourself with a large army as a bandit?

Moreover, abandoning large and medium-sized cities is equivalent to abandoning the heritage of the United States of America. Without those industrial infrastructures, would the Arigado Empire be able to rub bullets with its hands?

Without the supplement of gunpowder and weapons, hundreds of thousands of American puppet troops will fall apart in minutes!

No matter how weak the fighting power of the hundreds of thousands of American puppet troops is, they are still hundreds of thousands of strong men who can carry guns to the battlefield. Even if they fight guerrillas, it is enough to cause headaches for Europa's army.

If you just give up...

However, if you don't give up, if you want to defend the industrial base and the city, you must invest a lot of troops. Once you lose the battle, there will be no one left...

Thinking about it this way, the proposal made by the other party is quite reasonable.

Anyway, it is impossible to win a decisive battle, or the chance of winning is too small, and the core city and industrial base will fall sooner or later.

Rather than throwing away all the family property and losing the city and land, it is better to take the new force directly to be a bandit...

Just as Emperor Alensus was about to accept the minister's proposal, he suddenly remembered a serious question.

"The griffins and dragons raised by the empire have huge food appetites and are numerous in number. If there are no cities and large territories to support them, how can we support the griffins and dragons?"

As soon as the Alensus question came up, the ministers of the Arigado Empire present fell into a strange silence.

It's not that they can't see this issue, but that this issue is too sensitive and they dare not take the initiative to raise it.

It cannot be said that griffins and giant dragons are animals, and they can be sacrificed anytime and anywhere!

You know, when the founding monarch of the Odin royal family conquered the world, he relied on his ability to raise griffins and enslave dragons with one hand.

For hundreds of years, Emperor Alonthos has been slack in government affairs and indulgent, and he has had enough sons and daughters to form a legion...

However, the rule of the Arigado Empire is still as stable as Mount Tai. The Azure Dragon Legion composed mainly of Griffin Knights and Dragon Knights is Dinghaishenzhen!

The Azure Dragon Legion is a loyal supporter of the Odin royal family of the Arigado Empire.

Once the griffin and the dragon are lost, the military deterrence of the Odin royal family to the Arigado Empire will not drop by a single bit.

Of course, the Arigado Empire is now a grasshopper on a rope. After coming to the New World, no matter what the surname is, the nobles can only be firmly united with the Odin royal family.

After all, Europa, the enemy, has the same attitude towards humans from other worlds.

Even if he is determined to be a traitor to the human race from another world, at most he will retain his glory and wealth on the side of Europa, and it is impossible to gain real power.

Now the general trend of the battlefield is on the side of Emperor Li Wei. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that surrender can only get some false honors. After the war, just being a surrendered noble from another world is enough to be suppressed by Europa officials.

Because of this, the aristocratic group of the Arigado Empire and the Odin royal family are always bound together.

The Arigado Empire is an aristocratic feudal system, the nobles do not rebel, and the people below have no power to resist the Odin royal family.

The warriors who can be brought to the new world are either loyal to the Odin royal family or are the retainers and generals of a certain noble.

In the Imperial Legion, when two sergeants who don't know each other meet, they will first ask each other which family and surname they are loyal to, not the other's name!

The real stragglers were either thrown into the doomed Makabaka Continent, or they joined the Xuanwu Legion, and had already been wiped out by the encirclement.

Even the ministers who were advising Alonsos at this time were all nobles. In the Arigado Empire, noble birth was above all else.

Alensus couldn't help being surprised when he saw that no one responded.

Then an angry look rose on his face!

Because Alensus knew that if he wanted to be a bandit, he would have to give up the Griffin and the dragon, at least [-]% to [-]%!

Griffons are alright. Although they eat a lot, they are not too much bigger than humans. As for giant dragons, they are nothing but meat eaters!

Without a stable supply of meat, the dragon either starved to death or was so hungry that he abandoned the Odin royal family and became a deserter dragon.

After Alensus came to the New World, he has been committed to collecting the heritage of the United States of America and restoring productivity. The main reason for this is to plunder more wealth to support griffins and giant dragons.

what?
You say let them hunt by themselves?

Not to mention whether the surrounding small animals can fill the belly of these big monsters, if they are all released, it is hard to say how many will come back by then...

Although griffins and dragons are 'smarter' than ordinary beasts, they are still pure animals in essence!

The giant dragons on the Makabaka continent are not a group of intelligent life forms.

Of course, if the dragon race had brains, it would not always be driven by human enslavement.

The dragon knights of the Arigado Empire put [-]% of their combat power on the giant dragon. Putting a knight on the back of the giant dragon is to put a driver in order to prevent the dragon from disobeying orders and even becoming deserters on the battlefield... …

The reason why there are strict requirements on the combat power of the dragon knight is that no matter how good the skills of ordinary people are, it is impossible for ordinary people to stabilize their body when the dragon soars, and it is easy to be blown off by the dragon.

Moreover, human riders with higher strength can threaten the life of the dragon when necessary, and let the dragon make an attack that endangers its own survival.

Dragon knights generally sit or lie on the neck of the dragon, which is the vital point of the dragon. With the combat power of a human knight, if they are prepared, they can deal a fatal blow to the neck of the dragon on the back, and even stimulate the dragon's neck. With a lot of fighting spirit, he cut off the dragon's head.

Therefore, every dragon knight is always in control of the life of the dragon.

Otherwise, how could the giant dragon, which retains the temperament of a beast, put itself in a dangerous battlefield and fight hard?
In the war history of the Arigado Empire, there are many dragons who died in battle.

Fortunately, the brainless giant dragon has no birth defects. Apart from a large appetite, large-scale breeding is still no problem.

It's just a big growth cycle.

The newly born little dragon is only the arm length of an ordinary person, and its growth cycle is longer than that of a human being.

Moreover, giant dragons can only breed during the estrus period, and their lifespan is limited.

All in all, there is a big gap between the giant dragons on Makabaka Continent and the dragons that Emperor Li Wei knew in his previous life.

After the silence lasted for half an hour, Alensus sighed helplessly.

He knew that his anger at the noble ministers below would have no effect at all. It was not that they did not want to fight, let alone that they did not want to take away powerful war monsters such as griffins and dragons.

But they can't do anything about it...

Even the soldiers in the army may not be able to eat enough to be a bandit across the mountains, let alone the griffins and dragons with huge appetites.

Of course, Alonsos would never be willing to give up the gryphon and the dragon.

He still has a choice.

"The Griffin Corps and the Dragoon Corps are unparalleled in combat power and possess air superiority.

Europa's energy source continuously transports troops to North America, relying on its powerful navy.

If we destroy Europa's navy, we can cut off Europa's foreign aid troops and turn them into rootless duckweed! "

"Your Majesty, Europa's navy is made of steel. It is very difficult for Dragon Flame to sink Europa's naval ships."

A noble minister stood up and reminded in a low voice.

The Arigado Empire has known for a long time the shortcomings of Europa's transoceanic operations. It's not that it can't see it, but it can't destroy Europa's navy.

In the eyes of the noble ministers of the Arigado Empire, the navy of the Europa Empire is a miracle.

Humans in the new world can actually make steel float on the ocean, and sail faster than wooden sail warships!
On the continent of Makabaka, the navy of the human race has always been the best, but in front of the navy of the Europa Empire in the new world, it is a younger brother.

When they first arrived in the New World, even many nobles in the Arigado Empire rejoiced that they did not waste magic stones and brought the wooden warships from the Makabaka Continent.

Otherwise, those wooden warships would be living targets in front of Europa's navy.

"The dragon flames can't sink Europa's steel ship, so we'll kill everyone on it!
Who said that griffins and dragons can only fight in the sky? "

Since Alensus the Great had planned to sacrifice the griffin and the dragon, he naturally had to put all his eggs in one basket and aim at the enemy's seven-inch attack!
Once Europa's expeditionary fleet is destroyed, the strategic disadvantage of the Arigado Empire can be reversed. Even if it cannot win, it is completely unconvincing to fight a war of attrition with the Europa landing force that has lost its logistics.

Even if it fails, the only loss is the Griffin Knight and the Dragon Knight. Anyway, the Griffin and the Dragon are destined to be abandoned...

In addition, Emperor Alensus intends to take advantage of this decisive battle to send all the powerful knights among the nobles under his command.

With griffins and giant dragons as companions, those noble retainers will have no right to refuse!

In this way, when defeated, the aristocratic power of the Arigado Empire will also be weakened. Even if Emperor Aronsos loses the two trump cards of the gryphon and the dragon, he can continue to maintain the military advantage of the Odin royal family.

The drivers of the griffins and dragons of the Arigado Empire use violent control methods, which have high requirements for the strength of the drivers, but not high requirements for skills. Therefore, the strong men under the aristocrats will basically control the griffins and dragons. Dragon Rider.

As a reserve for Griffin Rider and Dragon Rider!

Therefore, Alensus only needs to make a simple deployment, and he can withdraw the Griffin Knight and Dragon Knight who are finally Odin's royal family from the decisive battle.

After figuring out the key, Alensus's bad mood eased most of it.

As long as the royal family of Odin can always be guaranteed to play the core role of humans from other worlds, he will have a chance to make a comeback!
The human race of the Europa Empire is a proper foreign race to the human race from another world, and their sense of identity is not even as good as other races from other worlds.

As long as the alien races are not extinct, Alensus can suppress the great aristocratic forces under his command, and he can always lead the alien races to survive in the new world.

After all, the alien race has a huge natural advantage-strong individual strength.

If you are really determined to become a bandit and engage in guerrilla warfare, it will be very difficult to completely eliminate the Europa Empire.

At least, the alien race will be much tougher than that class.

The most important thing is that the Europa Empire has no popular support on the American continent. The hundreds of thousands of American puppet troops who have been trained by the Arigado Empire do not have the same sense of identity with the Europa Empire as the aliens.

On the outskirts of New York City, crackling gunshots criss-crossed, cutting the good roads into countless trenches, which made Alexei, who was in the punishment camp, terrified.

Because he found that the closer to New York City, the stronger the resistance of the American Puppet Army!

Since joining the punishment camp, Alexei has never encountered a human race from another world.

The alien race protected their family members without combat effectiveness very well, and they all gathered together in one city, staying with the main army.

The battles on the front lines were basically left to the American puppet troops, with only a small number of senior generals sent to act as commanders.

And once these commanders realize that the battle is unfavorable, they will often lead their troops to retreat immediately. If they cannot retreat, they will run away by themselves!

Because of this, the advance corps, which does not have an advantage in military strength, can win many battles and victories.

However, this situation changed when they approached New York City.

The American puppet army dug various trenches hundreds of miles deep with New York City as the center.

Bring the technology of civil engineering into full play.

The people of the Arigado Empire publicized the atrocities committed by the advance legion in North American towns, and even invited the surviving victims to parade around the streets, arousing the fighting spirit of the American puppet army.

The method is simple and crude, but very easy to use.

The Americans who originally regarded the Europa Empire as an aggressor, under the organization of the Arigado Empire, fought against the enemy, the elderly, women and even children served as logistics production personnel, and men who could use guns rushed to the front line and even spread to the enemy's rear. Launch irregular raids on all strongholds flying the black dragon flag.

However, the guerrilla warfare conducted by the American puppet army who was ignorant of current affairs completely angered the advance corps, causing the officers and soldiers of the advance corps to intensify their efforts against the American people in the occupied area, and frequently implemented the "three light policy" on villages where guerrilla members were hiding.

It is also commonly known as robbing them all, killing them all, burning them all...

This was not done purely to vent their anger. It wiped out those villages related to the guerrillas, not only deterred other American villages, but also cut off the guerrilla's logistics base.
