The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
For more Khalistani soldiers, this war was nothing short of a one-sided massacre.
Many soldiers mustered up their courage and rushed into the enemy camp, but before the vanguard could even reach the enemy, countless magic spells, artillery shells, and dragon knights' arrows had already been fired upon!
After one round, almost the entire front-line troops were killed.
Especially in places where the battle lines were relatively long, thousands of troops were killed in battle before they even encountered the enemy. Seeing this situation, the troops behind did not dare to charge and simply retreated.
However, the defeat was so devastating that once anyone retreated, the entire army became the target of slaughter.
Almost all of them were running away and had no way to fight against Jagun's army. In the end, they even began to fear this kind of frontal battle!
The generals of Khalistan no longer dared to deploy such battles, otherwise the morale of the troops would be destroyed sooner or later.
Only the city defense battle can resist a little.
But it was only a moment. Jagun's troops were indeed too powerful. In just less than half a month, the entire army lost their fighting spirit, which was fatal for an army.
"We should never have started this war, never!"
This kind of conversation was heard repeatedly among the soldiers.
And at this time the generals will come forward.
"Was that the one who spoke just now?"
Seeing that no one answered, I became even more angry.
"This is a war. Do you think the enemy will stop fighting if you retreat? We just received news that the cities lost in the front have been robbed by Jagun's gang of beasts. Did you hear that? They've all been robbed!" the general shouted loudly.
Even he himself did not expect that a powerful country like Jiagong would use such shameful means. Whenever they arrived at a city, they would just rob, steal money, and food, and even enslave soldiers to help them transport them. In the end, they would let the defeated army and citizens go back without any care.
This is going to drain the country.
Many cities were afraid to open their doors to allow refugees to leave because they were worried that local troops might be mixed in with the refugees.
But after all, they are all citizens of their own country. If they are not even allowed to come in, they will really become homeless. Without food and shelter, a large number of refugees have poured into many pastures and rural areas outside the city, and the local people have been driven out.
More and more people began to head towards the east of the country...
As a result, those who are still defending on the front line have no backup. Who knows if they will be confused by the refugees making trouble later, and there will be no chance to retreat at that time.
If you want to recruit soldiers, you also need weapons and food.
Now these refugees have become a burden to the entire country, but you cannot throw away these burdens because there may be soldiers’ families among them, and they even threaten the families of soldiers of the entire country!
That's so despicable.
A desert country is fighting in such a shameless way, and the situation is getting more intense.
It was said that there was a rumor among the Jagun that the soldiers could take credit for any loot they had, which made the soldiers even more excited and fought even more recklessly. Some even secretly stole women.
This was becoming increasingly difficult for Khalistan, but what was even more terrifying was that some of his own soldiers were actually retreating.
The question of why the war was launched and why it should not have been launched was widely spread among the soldiers...
This is not what any general wants to see.
"Remember, they are now our enemies. They have stepped into our homes. They have robbed our wealth, the wealth we prepared for the future. Our women, our land. Jagun, who used such despicable methods, has brought shame to the Sun God. We must cheer up." Lanlin did not forget to cheer up the soldiers.
All we can do now is defend and win a victory on the battlefield.
Or a big win!
What is needed now is a victory to inspire the entire nation, otherwise the country will be doomed.
"Don't be complacent, because the enemy will not show mercy to you just because you are weak. We must fight... fight!"
"fighting!!"
A group of people shouted.
………………
Meanwhile, in the camp of Jagun, the soldiers besieging the city were still calculating their gains.
"Hey, listen. Is that a sound?"
Hearing the loud shouts in the distance, many Jagun soldiers came out of the tent to check.
The distance was too far, so I couldn't hear exactly what they were saying, and the tone changed after everyone shouted together.
"I don't know what they are shouting."
"Never mind them. Anyway, we can just wait for Tieti Niu's siege soldiers to arrive and take over this city." Now the Jagun soldiers are even confident that they can take over other people's cities.
"By the way, how much did you earn last time?"
"It's not much anyway, but it's more than I make in a year!"
The reason why the soldiers have such a positive attitude is due to the special benefits of this war, which actually allow soldiers to rob.
This is simply the most wonderful thing in the world... You know, in a war, even if a city of another country is occupied, it will be strictly guarded, and for the sake of future negotiations or occupation, the soldiers will be ordered not to harm local soldiers.
Many times, even if citizens spit or curse at soldiers, they cannot fight back, otherwise it will be bad for the overall situation.
But this time it’s not…
Prince Sean actually ordered that anyone could rob anything, and that no slaves should be requisitioned, and all should be released.
The soldiers were delighted to be free of their burdens and earn a good income. They were especially motivated during the battle!
"Oh, if I had known Prince Sean was such a good person, I would have stopped listening to the Imperial Army's nonsense and just joined his army. My hometown would have prospered a long time ago."
"Don't say you regret it. I guess there are many people in this army who regret it!"
Since the soldiers were dispersed, there were both Imperial Army and Guards.
Many imperial soldiers who had served under Commander Oshalia were not interested in Prince Sean. They wanted to support Prince Mudan, who was better to the people. But this time it seemed that the rumors were wrong. Prince Sean was the one who was best at finding benefits for his team.
"Or we can just join the Royal Guards later."
"But can you send the Royal Guards just like that? But from now on, it's definitely a good idea to follow Prince Sean more often."
Everyone looked at the city in the distance that was still shouting loudly. They didn't know what they were shouting, but if they waited until the siege troops arrived, the other side probably wouldn't have a chance to shout.
Everyone is eager to attack this city...
In just half a month, Jagun's army had captured more than a dozen cities of the enemy. If they continued to advance, they would probably reach the interior of Khalistan.
The eastern region is also where their capital is located!
