The Sun King's Evidence

As soon as the emperor's personal expedition came out, almost all the ministers and generals present, as well as most of the boyars, subconsciously opposed it.

Katalin is indeed different from her father, the Red Tsar Boris Bokaha. The Red Tsar must fight in person and be the first to fight. It was this Red Tsar who relied on his own strength and the blessing of Esun. After the Great Holy War, It reproduces the afterglow of Kislev's glorious era. The tsarina rarely leaves her court and rarely goes on expeditions. Most of the time she appoints generals or supervises the army and fights. This makes many people hate her. There are some doubts about his command ability.

Katalin coldly announced that she had decided that she would go on the expedition in person this time.

No matter what the Queen said, she was the master of the Kislev Palace, the bloodline of Queen Miska and the holder of the Tsarist throne. After she made her decision, no one dared to object anymore and could only agree to the battle plan.

Katalin also knew that everyone had doubts about her military ability, but there was nothing that could be done about it. The Tsarina also had her own ideas. This was a conclusion she came to after careful consideration for a period of time.

That is, this barbarian invasion may indeed be a good opportunity for her to unite the entire country, gain the trust of the Boye nobles and the army, and unite Kislev.

It was not that Katalin didn't know about the complaints among the people and the soldiers' pay disputes. In fact, the Cheka could always report a lot of news to her, and the tsarina also knew what she had to do.

After getting the news, Katalin thought carefully and came to the final conclusion that she wanted to lead the expedition herself.

The reason is simple. After fully studying Knight King Ryan's way of centralizing power, Katalin came to the conclusion that there are only two basic points for Ryan to ascend the throne. The first is that he married the Duke's daughter Sulia. His wife, he obtained the status of a member of the first twelve Holy Grail Knights family. The second one was that he passed through a series of wars, including the invasion of Egil's Red Eye, including the Blackstone Stronghold and the battle of La-Messnel Monastery, including the recapture of Mousilon. And suppressing the Mashubard Rebellion, he united all the Brittanians through war and kneaded the power of all the principalities together.

In the end, the crowning achievement was the Great Expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountains. After this war, Lane's prestige and honor reached their peak, and a high degree of centralization of power was basically completed.

Therefore, Katalin’s conclusion is that since Ryan can do it, she can do it too. Ryan was a little knight who only weighed a few kilograms and could do it. As the female tsarina and a strong man in the sanctuary, she has tens of thousands of elite troops and How could an entire sisterhood of ice witches not be able to do this?

Furthermore, the Millennium Celebration has begun. At this time, a great victory will add new luster to the story of Katalin and the glory of Kislev.

Therefore, it is imperative to go on a personal expedition. Katalin knows that she is very powerful. Her power is just because she lacks a chance to express herself.

Now, the opportunity has come.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, should we consider stopping the celebration and entering a state of war first?" Marshal Kislev Konev suggested.

Katalin raised her slender black eyebrows, and the Czarina said calmly: "No need, the celebration will be at its most exciting when we come back from dealing with the barbarians."

These sycophants don't understand my considerations at all! They have no idea what I want! The Czarina looked displeased at the hesitant or resistant expressions of most of the people: "Any other opinions? Put them forward quickly. If you don't say it to your face now and talk nonsense afterwards, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Marshal Rokossovsky of the Bear Cavalry decided to speak. He said relatively gently: "Your Majesty, in this case, should we tell the empire about your personal expedition and seek support from the empire?"

"The northern barbarians have spent so much energy attacking Dulong City. There is no need for us to ask for the empire's support." Katalin glanced at Rokossovsky displeasedly, thinking that maybe Rokossovsky could It was really a mistake for Ki to replace Marshal Voroshilov. Marshal Bear Cavalry, who was only in his thirties this year, may have good fighting skills, but he really had no wink and lack of self-consciousness. The Tsarina said calmly: "The entire empire is now in chaos. The autumn harvest is coming, right? Calling for imperial assistance at this time, I owe Karl Franz a huge debt, so there is no need."

Katalin is right. The climate of the Empire is different from that of Britannia. The autumn harvest time in Britannia is from the end of September to the end of October, while the autumn harvest time in the Empire is from mid-September to mid-October. Only Keith Loew's autumn harvest is almost complete.

The Marshal of the Bear Cavalry could feel the unkind gaze of the Czarina, and he finally closed his mouth wisely.

In this way, the imperial conquest was decided, and immediately the entire Kislev began to move. A large number of troops began to gather in Kislev, preparing to set off to the north to fight against the barbarians.

On October 3, Kislev issued a nationwide rally order to forcibly recruit troops, and the number was increased from one soldier for every five households to one soldier for every three households.

On October 7, Tsarina Katalin personally led 25,000 Kislev soldiers from Kislev City and headed towards the location of Prager in the north, preparing to deal with the threat posed by the barbarians.

On October 10, 15,000 soldiers from Oerengrad's side joined the Tsar's army on the banks of the Linsk River.

On October 12, armies from various parts of Kislev and troops led by Boyers arrived one after another, and the number of Kislev's army gradually expanded to about 63,000 people.

On October 16, the Ugor tribe and many mercenaries north of the Linsk River also joined Katalin's team, and an army of 80,000 people was finally completely formed.

The cost of this was high. In order to assemble this army, Katalin almost emptied every ducat gold coin in her treasury and internal treasury. Even so, it was difficult to fully equip the equipment. Many soldiers lacked thick enough winter clothes and Weapons of sufficient quality, but Kislev couldn't care about that much anymore, and Katalin immediately signaled to go north for support.

At this time, Plagg has been surrounded by the Chaos army of Festus, the chosen champion of Nurgle. The residents are struggling to resist. The Empress personally leads the army and the Battle of Plagg begins.

During this battle, Festus tried to set up an ambush on the road and gather reinforcements. However, Katalin learned from the previous lessons. Kislev's army advanced slowly and steadily. Katalin even led the ice witch and Her personal bodyguards, the Ice Guard and the Krim Guard Legion, joined the battlefield. The power of the Queen was as powerful as the winter of Kislev. The Nurgle Legion soon found that they had encountered a very powerful enemy. After 12 hours of battle, , Festus received Motkin's order to temporarily avoid the edge.

As a result, the Battle of Praag ended with a great victory at Kislev. The Nurgle Army lost more than 3,500 people and was forced to retreat north.

But the war startled both Kislev and Chaos.

Festus did not expect that it would encounter an army of 80,000 people. The chosen champion of Nurgle was not a group of brainless lunatics like Khorne, nor was he an addict who liked to try and fail in the Legion of Slaanesh. Festus Tuth was unwilling to fight Katalin head-on. It tried to repeat its old tricks. After leaving hundreds of chaos egg palaces made of Mrs. Keesler, the Nurgle army chose to withdraw into the ice and snow north of Prague.

And Katalin was also shocked by the number of Chaos armies. The Tsarina never imagined that there would be tens of thousands of people surrounding Plagg! But seeing the Nurgle legion being driven away from Prague in such a vulnerable manner, Katalin suddenly felt that the barbarians were only old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, the joy brought to the Tsarina by the glorious victory in the Battle of Prague did not even last more than 12 hours!

Emergency military situation! Fortress Clark, an important town northwest of Kislev and bordering Norska, fell! The Norscan Mountain Legion led by the High King of Norsca, Varmir-Aisling, appears in the Troll Kingdom!

Kislev's army immediately moved westward to support.

The tsarina had indeed fully learned a series of previous lessons. Kislev's army did not rush to advance, but adopted a steady and gradual advance strategy. This allowed them to avoid the ambush of Tzeentch's army, who immediately retreated. Prepare yourself for your next vicious plan.

After several days of marching, the Battle of the Torsol River began on the south bank of the river. Kislev's army encountered more than a dozen Norscan tribes and warbands who believed in Khorne or Slaanesh who had gathered here to perform skull sacrifices. .

In another fierce battle, the Battle of the Torsol River, Kislev beheaded more than 3,000 people but suffered heavy losses himself. Until this group of Norscan tribesmen were completely defeated, Kislev's army finally won Torsol. Victory over the Er River.

The pressure was slightly easier north of Kislev.

However, bad news comes one after another, urgent military situation! The Slaanesh legions led by the beauty Prince Sigvald, the Chosen Champion of Slaanesh, have broken through the Osdrask Fortress! All three thousand defenders inside the fortress were slaughtered and their skins and hearts were ripped out! Prince Sigvald used Mrs. Kiesler's skin and hair to make a thousand cloaks and 500 scarves. He even dug out more than 5,000 eyes from the corpse to make "octopus balls" and grilled them on the spot in the fortress. "For the followers of Slaanesh to taste.

As Kislev's army advanced more than 300 kilometers west from Prague and reached a place 50 kilometers north of a town called Zedevka on the north bank of the Linsk River, Katalin suddenly discovered , things seemed to be getting very bad for her and her army.

The scale of this Chaos invasion seemed to far exceed everyone's expectations.

To the east, the Nurgle Legion led by the Nurgle God's Chosen Champion is slowly approaching, with about 50,000 people.

To the northwest, the Slaanesh legion of about 39,000 people led by the beauty Prince Sigvald, the chosen champion of Slaanesh, has crossed the Torsol River.

To the west is the Norscan Mountain Legion of about 43,000 people led by Valmir Aisling, the High King of Norsca and the Chosen of the Four Gods of Chaos.

Kislev's army suddenly fell into an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. Katalin had to order to retreat 20 kilometers south and set up camp 30 kilometers north of Zedevka. She herself led Ten thousand elites settled in this town.

What's worse is that after a series of military operations, the time has come to October 26.

Due to the Tsarina's steady and vigilant approach to the advance, her cautious and anticipatory tactics, Chaos' many attempts at ambush failed.

However, as the time of Kislev's army went on the expedition, the logistical pressure became more and more difficult to maintain. With 80,000 people eating horses and chewing horses all day long, the consumption of military rations and military pay was very alarming. From October The army set off on the 7th and lasted until Katalin visited Zedevka on October 26. The logistics of this army gradually became unsustainable.

October 30, Kislev, north of the Linsk River, Zedevka.

It was snowing heavily, and this originally small town had been filled with a large number of troops.

The Tsar's golden domed tent can be seen from a distance in the center of the town.

Kislev's most elite ice witches, the Tsarina's personal bodyguards, the Ice Guards, and the Imperial Guards, the Krim Guards, are all stationed here.

Now Katalin faces an increasingly difficult situation.

The three chaotic armies are gradually encircling Kislev's army into a semicircle, pressing towards Zedevka.

Katalin divided Kislev's army into four parts, namely the central army led by Katalin personally, which consisted of elite ice and snow guards, Krim guards, Tsarist shooting army, more than a hundred artillery pieces, and a It consists of a team of bear cavalry and winged cavalry, a gryphon legion, and a large number of Ksar warriors, numbering ten thousand.

The Army of Grand Marshal Kislev Dimitri Zaev is located in the north facing the Army of Slaanesh, the beautiful Prince Sigvald. This army of 20,000 people has a large number of hussars, Ksar warriors and a small number of artillery. , shooting army, strong strength.

To the west, the Rokossovsky Army faces the Norse Mountain Army. This army has about 30,000 people, but the quality is not good. Most of them are Ugor troops. They lack artillery and muskets, but they have numbers. A very large group of horse archers, two groups of winged cavalry, and one group of bear cavalry.

In the east, the Zhaka-Fedosov Army faces the Festus Army. The Fedosov Army has only 10,000 people and is stationed in a small town called Dagniper on the northeast side of Zedevka. , relying on city walls for defense.

The decision of Kislev's supreme commanders is that each legion must try to entangle the enemy in front of them, and then try to concentrate their forces to defeat one of the three Chaos armies, and then defeat the other two Chaos legions one by one.

Kislev's army needs a quick and decisive victory to establish victory. This is everyone's consensus. There is not much food and grass left!

At this moment, the Eternal God of Chaos Chosen Black Iron Motkin was leading a small group of the main Chaos army and the Tzeentch Legion of approximately 80,000 people, who were slowly moving south from the northern part of the Mourn Mountains in Norsca. Motkin took a closer look. As the two sides faced each other, they couldn't help but let out a terrible laugh: "This woman really has no strategic vision! Think she can defeat us by being careful and predicting the enemy strictly?"

"Pass my order! Under no circumstances are we allowed to fight with the Kislev army led by Katalin herself! If you encounter her alone on the battlefield, you should immediately retreat, disperse, and pull the opponent's troops. Such a huge army The army and Kislev’s logistics can’t support it for long! After repeated pulls, the fighter plane is right in front of us!”

"Yes!" Under the command of the Eternal Chosen, the three Chaos armies obeyed his orders. Once Katalin appeared on the front line, the Chaos armies immediately retreated and avoided fighting, leaving no opportunity for them to take advantage of. Once Katalin left, the Chaos army immediately pressed towards Zedevka and beat the marshals under Katalin's command.

Facing the "hide-and-seek" style of play commanded by Motkin himself, Kislev's army was helpless at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and the battle line gradually retreated.

The Tsarina and her troops have become a fire brigade, running around to support, but every time she appears somewhere, Chaos will find that the morale of Kislev's army has increased, the intensity of the attack has increased, and they have been supported by ice magic. , retreat immediately.

At the same time, the Norse Mountain Army, led by Vamir Eslin, tried to cut off the retreat of Kislev's army. The female tsar was frightened and led her army to march for more than 100 kilometers. When she saw her appearance , the Norscan Mountain Legion immediately retreated, leaving behind the furious Katalin.

As soon as she drove away the Norscan Mountain Legion, Katalin immediately received news that a large new army of Chaos had appeared north of the Mourning Mountains! It is slowly advancing southward.

The three armies of Chaos continued to move closer to Zedevka. The situation became more and more serious for the tsarina. Her troops were mobilized back and forth on the battlefield and were exhausted. The supplies of the troops were getting worse and worse. Each soldier could only get 350 grams of big legba, no more meat available.

The situation in various parts of Kislev gradually became unstable. Many opponents of the Queen's Tsarist activities became more and more frequent, and security problems continued to break out. After the snowstorm and food shortages, the army also began to experience non-combat attrition.

Under this difficult situation, Supreme Commander Kislev finally made a decision and took the initiative to launch a full-scale attack, looking for opportunities to annihilate at least one Chaos Legion.

The final battle is coming!
