Demon Lord

Put away the water bag yourself! You can only get water at noon and night every day! Those who leave the team privately at other times will be punished by military law!

Listening to these words, Boragon involuntarily glanced at the heads stuck on the lance in the distance. Everyone spoke up, obviously no one wanted to be the next to be beheaded.

After eating, the work as a prisoner of war will continue. Their mission is simple: to accumulate as much loose soil as possible on both sides of the road, so that the road repair puppets can strengthen the road next time.

Boragon, who had never done heavy work, soon had blood on his hands. In the afternoon, he was almost tired and found that he and the others had reached the bank of the Bordeaux River.

In front of them, the huge bridge built by the Efta engineering company seemed to silently laugh at Boragon's decision to cross the river and demolish the bridge - because the bridge deck in front of him was ten meters wide, and the huge timber used on it was estimated to be thousands of root!

It was only three days since he had demolished all the bridges, and in one day Efta's army had built a wooden bridge stronger and wider than all the bridges put together.

The combat effectiveness of the frontal soldiers is unmatched, and the ability to cross obstacles is unmatched... Seeing the trucks full of supplies roaring past, Boragon felt even more desperate for this highly efficient transportation method. He did some rough calculations himself. In the traditional way, it takes four to six horse-drawn carriages to haul the goods loaded by a truck on the other side for a long time. And the speed is often slower than people on muddy roads...

He used to think that wars were fought with the equipment, courage and strategy of the commanders and soldiers, but the commander of Efta directly used the item of logistics to completely shatter his concept of war...

Get out of the way! Get out of the way! If you don't want to die, get out of the way!

Just as he was talking, the supervisor suddenly began to wave the whip in his hand vigorously. The crackling sound made the tired prisoners of war look up. Boragon looked back to the other side of the bridge and found that there were a large number of trucks preparing to cross the bridge—— They are much wider than ordinary trucks, and those who are still standing by the side of the road are in danger of being hit if they don't dodge.

Quickly moved a few steps to the side, Boragon stared blankly at the truck, which was bigger than the earth dragon, passing in front of him. The gun barrel with an astonishing caliber behind the truck made people shudder—when he was defeated two days ago When they were captured, Efta's infantry did not launch a charge, but only fired two rounds of artillery from a distance to completely collapse the thousands of troops.

He clearly remembered that the spar cannon, which was as powerful as a high-level magician, was far inferior to the behemoth in front of him in length and caliber.

Boragon suddenly understood how the cities of Dunkel and Suvara were breached—the so-called city walls, what defense is there in front of this kind of weapon?

If there are only one or two vehicles, perhaps this kind of thing can be called a killer weapon used at critical moments. But Boragon stood there for a full twenty minutes, because there were forty-one double-barreled artillery vehicles passing in front of him!

This is the eighty-two cannons.

Boragon is really heartbroken at this moment. If it is said that he thought that as long as the royal family's elite troops had enough mages, it would be able to offset the advantage of Efta's spar cannon. But after seeing so many war machines appearing on the front line, he no longer considered any royal counterattack at all.

Want to make a comeback? It is easier to dream.

After the rumbling trucks passed by, the temporarily flattened road inevitably deformed, so the supervisor immediately asked them to refill the road with soil on both sides. It didn't take long before the passing puppets quickly flattened the road, and Boragon was already numb to this efficiency—he even had an illusion: If Efta's aristocratic coordinating ability has always been so strong, the opponent The Karen Kingdom has not been unified, it seems that it is only because they find it troublesome, not because they cannot defeat it?

He was holding the shovel blankly, but he didn't know that the current commander of the Efta army, Sodlor, was sitting on the huge trucks that had just passed by.

After the forces led by Boragon were disintegrated,

This war has ended the first phase of the blitzkrieg and entered the second phase of the main showdown.

The blitzkrieg allowed Efta's troops to advance 300 kilometers south from the temple in a total of ten days, invincible all the way, and defeated the enemy's current main force after crossing the Bordeaux River. Such a record sounds amazing, but behind it is the miracle that Roddy did his best to ensure the logistics.

If the entire front is counted from the last transportation point of Hollier City-Palling to the current front line Laena City, the total length has reached more than 1,500 kilometers. This is like a rubber band that is stretched to the extreme, and if you move forward, it will easily be in danger of breaking.

Therefore, Soderol, who arrived in the city of Laena, did not immediately rush in to capture more towns, but steadily began to consolidate the thickness of the current front to ensure that such an advantage would not be regained by the enemy's possible sneak attack.

Report to the commander! The barracks in front of the south gate have been set up!

Go straight over.

There was no way for more than forty huge trucks to drive into the city of Laena, because even if they could drive in through the city gate, the narrow streets inside were not enough for this kind of war machine to turn around or make a turn. Therefore, Soderol directly assembled the army directly under the southern city wall, without any appearance of relying on the city wall to defend.

Because he knew that the fighting style of Efta's army was completely different from those in the past.

The engineering company has completed the planning of the camp as always, and the 5,000 combat troops have been stationed in order under the city wall. Forty-two double-barreled artillery vehicles stopped under the city wall, aiming their barrels at the south.

Because the terrain where Laena City is located is considered a raised highland in this area, the effective range of the heavy artillery has reached two kilometers. If thrown, it can even pose a threat to enemies five or six kilometers away.

This distance is unimaginable in the era of cold weapons.

However, Soderol's preparations did not stop there. He did not sit in the mansion in the city to command like other nobles, but went directly to the barracks center outside the south gate. The tent that was exactly the same as that of Parling had already been set up, and he led his staff directly, drank casually, and began to list the next battle plan.

The images and reports of the Falcon reconnaissance plane were unfolded one by one, and one of the staff pointed to the densely packed dots on it and said: The Viper Cross seems to have been premeditated, and their soldiers finally started to move.

This group of guys took a lot of damage in attacking the temple, and they started to gather two weeks ago, which shows that they have long planned to take advantage of the fire to loot.

Soderol glanced at the picture, made a rough judgment, and at the same time swiped his hand, inferring the opponent's direction of travel: They should want to cut into the battlefield from the southeast, but I reckon those old slickers must not Will be stupid enough to be cannon fodder during the first attacks.

Commander, they have quite a number of cavalry, and the mobile force that these horses can arm is conservatively estimated to be more than 2,000.

It's a waste of money, Suo Deluoer frowned, Is it something to rely on, or is it simply because the royal family gave them some reassurance?

These are all problems that the intelligence department needs to solve. Although Soderol is confident in the combat effectiveness of Efta's troops, the enemies are not all fools. The prerequisite for the success of Blitzkrieg is that the enemy is not sufficiently prepared. Now that the opponent has gone through all-out preparations for battle, even if there is a difference in weapons and equipment and methods of warfare, as a commander, he will still not underestimate any enemy.

The magicians of the royal family are not idiots, and the Royal Knights are not idiots. Although these religious lunatics have been defeated repeatedly in recent years, they can compete with the Rose Cross in the kingdom, not only relying on brainwashing skills.

Commander, will the dragon clan intervene in this war?

After all, the staff members are younger. In their view, only the Dragon Clan is the real threat. As long as the Dragon Clan can stand by and watch, this war is a sure thing.

However, Soderol did not give the answer they were expecting, and whispered: All plans are based on the premise that the dragons may intervene in the battle.

This sentence made the staff tense up immediately, and the relaxed expressions on their faces disappeared completely: Commander... if the dragon clan intervenes in the battle, in what form will it affect the battle situation?

Mass spells, airstrikes, and possibly decapitation tactics.

Soderol said these three points calmly, This is a judgment based on the strength of Your Excellency Kardashian.

So from now on, everyone must be prepared to fight against the Dragon Clan, and don't think that standing behind the front line means you can sit back and relax.

Yes! Commander!

After all the staff stood at attention, someone finally couldn't help asking: Commander...then how do we deal with the dragon attack?

The prime minister said that the best defenses against air raids are trenches and underground bunkers, so when you arrive at the battlefield, put in place all the defenses you can.

He turned his gaze to Lannis Town on the sand table, and nodded: The rest depends on how the Prime Minister handles it.

*****

At this moment, Rody, who had arrived in Lannis Town all the way from the temple, was indeed thinking about the dragon attack.

It took only two hours for Kardashian's message to reach her from the imperial city. The dignified Dragon Clan put down their bodies to engage in intelligence, and no one would believe it when they said it. Rody didn't expect that she would come up with such important information so quickly—apparently, Kardashian still hasn't been labeled Elson within the Dragon Clan.

And the information carried by this simple piece of parchment did affect all of Rody's follow-up layouts in terms of grand strategy: he did not expect that the Dragon Clan's determination to intervene in the battle was so firm.

Rody couldn't judge the fighting power of the young dragon army, but he was sure that it was more difficult than the combined forces of the royal family and Viper's Cross.

How to deal with such high-end forces intervening in human wars? Sitting in the temporary command post in Lannis Town, he kept filtering all the possibilities and cards in his mind—but before he could come up with a definite solution, his dragon slayer mark suddenly responded, and there were also people outside the door. The soldiers suddenly came to report...

Report to the Prime Minister... There are people outside the barracks asking to see.
