Chapter 491 489: The opportunity has come! (Subscribe)
On October 6, 315 of the New Divine Calendar, on the southern front, the 13th Division of the Bonaparte Empire, led by General Fake Wood, with the Imperial Eagle Knights as the vanguard, conducted a large-scale air-to-ground coordinated operation.
The giant eagle sky knight soars above the nine heavens, its cries filling the ears like a devil's voice.
Every dive would stir up a strong wind that would blow people and horses to the ground.
The Bigfoot Knight is like a steamroller, with his antlers on his head shaking, flattening everything with his swing. Even steel cannons cannot stop him.
As one of the ten great knight orders in the Old World, the Flame Hell Knights were able to defeat the defense head-on with their absolute strength, so the Imperial Eagle Knights would naturally not be weak either.
Although it is air-ground coordination, when the fighting spirit explodes and is covered by the knight's halo, it really is like a terrifying giant that supports the sky and steps on the earth, crushing all enemies.
As for the last 13th Division, it was just there for show.
In just a few days, the Sardinian army advanced hundreds of miles, broke through four lines of defense in succession, and arrived at the south of Brussels.
On October 7, 315 of the New God Calendar, on the western front, the Sardinian army could no longer hold back.
Because the line from Siren Port to Brussels is actually the most prosperous area. There are villages and towns every few dozen miles, and it is also the most densely populated area.
Therefore, the defense line here is the strongest and most densely packed. Many people in Flower Territory spontaneously built fortifications, making it the most difficult to advance.
This caused a lot of trouble for the Sardinian army. Seeing that all parties were advancing smoothly, Count Hoven Xavier also made up his mind.
He directly ordered the Palm Mage Corps to cast large-scale celestial magic. Every time before a battle, it would snow in October, the temperature would drop sharply, and the ground would freeze.
This was a weather rarely seen in Flower Territory. The rapid drop in temperature made it difficult for many soldiers to adapt.
Most importantly, when field artillery and magic firearms freeze, the chance of explosion increases rapidly, and jamming is common.
Then came the group charge of the Coast Knights!
Although it was far inferior to the Knights of the Divine Eagle and the Knights of the Hellfire, as a famous large knight order, it still gathered more than 30 extraordinary knights to lead the charge.
Using this tactic, within a few days, the Sardinian army broke through several lines of defense and approached the core area of the Flower Territory's rule.
October 7, 315 New God Calendar, Eastern Front.
Because of the continuous raids, Duke Aquinas Graham chose to rest for a few days out of caution.
After all, the Knights of the Inferno have mounts, so they can run fast enough and don’t need to be stingy with their physical strength.
But the newly formed 113th Division was not able to cope with it. A group of soldiers had to run on their own two legs, and even though they were the best soldiers with strong physiques, they could not withstand it.
Therefore, when the battle line was pushed to the end, a large number of soldiers had fallen behind.
Although Duke Aquinas Graham was carried away by victory, he still had some military skills and chose to rest in place cautiously.
On the one hand, the knights needed to rest after high-intensity combat, and on the other hand, they needed to wait for the follow-up troops to catch up and regroup.
However, what he didn't expect was that in just two days, the Sardinian army and the Bonaparte army, which had been reluctant to move, advanced rapidly like crazy.
The location of Brussels is originally northwest of Flower Territory. The east line is the longest distance, while the west and south lines are much shorter.
The result was that they broke through so many lines of defense and traveled for such a long time, but when they looked again, they found themselves the group farthest away from the city of Brussels.
This made Duke Aquinas Graham furious. Without waiting for the legion to fully rest, he immediately led his troops westward, rushing forward without any scruples.
Duke Aquinas Graham even acted as a vanguard again, leading the Flame Knights and using the flexibility and speed of the Flame Komodo Beasts to break through the defense line.
Because the speed was too fast, in the end, even the defensive fortifications in the rear were breached before they were completed, resulting in a chase situation.
At this time, if you look down from the sky, you can see that three armies are approaching the city of Brussels from three directions, appearing to be encircling it.
Coupled with the rolling mountains to the north, the Sky Mountains, the city of Brussels seems to have become a trapped dragon.
At this point, the reputation of the Old Continent has completely reversed, and no one is standing up for Flowers anymore.
Some people even say that the reason why Xianhualing has reached this point today is simply because Luoyi is lucky and has benefited from the dividends of the times.
At the center of the storm, Hua Xinling flew too high and took too many benefits, to a height that he shouldn't have.
The result was that a strong wind blew and it fell directly from the sky to the mortal world, revealing its true form.
Some people also found a very novel angle, not despising the weakness of the Flower Territory, but exaggerating the power of the Habsburg Empire.
The two seem to have nothing to do with each other, but if you look at it from another angle, the Habsburg Empire pressed the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Bonaparte Empire and the Slavic Empire to the ground, suffocating the three major hegemons of the Old World.
The three overlords only used a small part of their strength to defeat the Flower Lord so badly that he was at a loss.
Therefore, the overlord is the overlord, and their strength is unquestionable, but they encountered the Habsburg Empire and the powerful Hohenzollern family.
Needless to say, this argument originated from the People's Daily of the Habsburg Empire and immediately caused a huge sensation once it was published.
Those empire-blowing people seemed to have found supporting arguments and were almost praising Hohenzollern III as the wisest ruler ever.
Even the three major hegemons agree with this statement to a certain extent.
After all, exaggerating the enemy's strength can also show that you are not so incompetent!
As for the center of this storm, the Raymond family, they were met with countless malicious intent.
It's just a business cooperation, so it's easy to ask for a refund. Even if the deal doesn't go through, there's still friendship!
But those who take advantage of others' misfortunes, kick someone when he's down, fish in troubled waters, and try every possible way to take advantage of others, there shouldn't be too many of them, and their behavior shouldn't be too ugly!
This perfectly proves the saying: When you are strong, you are surrounded by good people; when you are weak, all you see are villains.
Even Luo Yi seemed to be unable to bear the annoyance and hid directly in the Mechanical Mage Tower, no longer wanting to see anyone.
Fortunately, the city of Brussels was completely under martial law.
From the police patrolling the streets in public to the brothers cracking down on disobedience in secret, almost every street and every house is monitored by more than one pair of eyes.
It is pure high-pressure rule that can resist the restlessness in the hearts of some people.
But everyone knows that this is not a long-term solution!
…
October 10, 315 of the New Divine Calendar, Mechanical Mage Tower, sixth floor.
"Son, let's lift it up, lift it up!"
"Fly, fly, woo woo woo woo ..."
It was rumored that Luo Yi, who was already suffering from severe depression, was playing with his son at this time.
Klein, who had become much stronger, was not afraid at all as he moved up and down in his hands. Instead, he laughed happily.
On the other hand, Lilia, who was standing aside, had a pretty face full of worry, and she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Luo Yi teased the child for a while, and finally handed Klein to Mira. Turning back again, he looked at Lilia and said, "Are you worried?"
Lilia didn't hide it: "The situation is like this, I am a little scared!"
Luo Yi smiled and said, "But you were the one who developed the magic tank, so you should be the most confident, right?"
“The problem is that a weapon that has not been tested in battle is always uncertain.
Luo Yi, isn't it a bit too risky to put all your hopes on the King of Land Warfare? "
Luo Yi was silent for a moment, then pulled Lilia up and walked quickly to the study room.
There was also a sand table filled with various flags, and Luo Yi stood in front of the sand table for countless days and nights.
He pulled Lilia over to the sand table, pointed at the large flower collar, and said, "Actually, this war is impossible to win. Or rather, it's almost impossible to win using conventional methods!"
"Don't underestimate the Flower Territory, which can be called 'strong in military and horses'. The number of third-level extraordinary people and fourth-level natural disasters far exceeds the limit that an earldom can support.
But do you believe it?
Whenever I let the natural disaster take action, the next second, a powerful fourth-level warrior will appear, far exceeding the number of my subordinates, and overwhelm me. "
Luo Yi pointed to the sky, shook his finger, and said, "They are all waiting!"
Pointing to the sand table, he added, "Even on the ground battlefield, the three giants have made careful calculations.
The number of troops and strong men they brought out was not much more than that of the other, but any one of them alone had the power to crush the Flower Territory.
Of course, this is excluding the magic tanks."
"According to their script, I can only gather all my forces, choose a route to attack, fight in groups, and win at all costs.
In the end, even if you win one or two games, you will be dragged to death.
This is the path they planned for me, but it is not what I want.
If I want to win, I have to surprise them, break their script, and go my way."
Luo Yi turned his head, looked at Lilia, and said, "If I say that this situation was created by me, would you believe it?"
"I believe it, but I don't understand it! Why?"
"The way of war, in the final analysis, is to rely on the strong to bully the weak.
If I am strong, I can bully you; if I am weak, I can only find or create a stronger situation and then bully you back.
Historically, the so-called battles where the weak defeated the strong were also won in a certain period of time and in a certain region, where the strong relied on the weak to achieve victory.
"Looking at it now, everyone thinks that Flower Territory is the weaker party, but in my opinion, I am the strongest with my tank battalion."
“The King of Land Warfare isn’t invincible, but when he first appears, he’s definitely the most stunning.
That's why I'm willing to give up so much, so much territory and people, just for a chance."
Lilia almost instinctively asked, "What opportunity?"
"Of course it's a chance to annihilate them all!"
Beep beep beep!
Just as they were talking, there was a knock on the door. The door opened and it was Angel who walked in quickly, his voice sounding a little anxious.
"My Lord, on the eastern front, the Knights of the Flame Hell have already set foot in Badak Town; on the western front, the Sardinian Legion has begun attacking the town of Grand Basseti.
As for the southern front, Fake Wood was the most cautious, but the Imperial Eagle Knights were also approaching fifty miles."
At this moment, Luo Yi suddenly turned around, his eyes were like torches, burning with blazing flames that seemed to be able to burn everything in the world.
However, the surging momentum only lasted for a moment before it subsided again. He turned his head, looked at Lilia, and said, "Look, the opportunity has come, isn't it?!"
"They finally stepped into the battlefield I set."
"Lilia, wait for me to come back and bring you news of a great victory!"
After he finished speaking, he strode away. Wherever he passed, countless powerful people followed him, as if he was going to change the world.
