Proof of the Sun King

"Qing Fu, let me ask you, if we set off from the Axe Bite Pass to the Empire, how long would it take and how many people would we pass?"

The Sun King Ryan and his queen Surya stand on Montfer Castle, looking down from the top, the axe bite in the distance is in the preface, if starting from Montfer Castle, to the rear of Helmgart. The imperial city of Bogenhafen is the end point, and the whole journey is about 200 kilometers away.

"Your Majesty, it is impossible for us to send troops to support the empire at this time." Duke Ford's appearance is relatively simple, with dark skin and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He is not tall, and speaks with a certain imperial accent, which is caused by Montfort's years of contact with the empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is unlikely that we will send troops to support the Empire now. My army needs training, and the recruits are far from being able to send troops." Bertrand also said that the commander-in-chief of the old guard was in Kuilau. Injured by Khorne's brass whip during the battle, he barely made his comeback after several months of recuperation, and he didn't look much better.

From the spring of 2523 in the imperial calendar to the autumn of 2524 in the imperial calendar, there were successive wars in Brittany, the dukes were busy rebuilding after the war, and Lane's court was also busy reorganizing the army. The loss of strength was very heavy. So far, the old guards have not been replenished to the level of 2,200 before the war in Kuilau, but only 1,800, and the combat effectiveness of the new recruits has not yet reached the level before the war.

Similarly, the Lengxi Guards Regiment has been supplemented to 1,500 people so far, and the 1st Guard Lancer Regiment has been supplemented to 1,000 people. Even Ryan still has a headache where to find a qualified wing cavalry commander-Rokoso Marshal Vsky had died in the previous battle, and General Meretskov had limited capabilities.

The Young Guards are currently only 800 people, and they are not yet able to form a combat force.

The only good news is that the battle with the Khorne Demon Army has allowed many people to break through the shackles of legends. Now Ryan's three elites add up to 700 legendary powerhouses. It can be said that as the great guardian becomes weaker and weaker. The disintegration of the maelstrom gradually loosened the restrictions on mortals.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Raymond also came up. The old guard's deputy commander was shrouded in the light of the Holy Grail, with a touch of red in his eyes, which is the characteristic of drinking the water of the Holy Grail. With envious eyes, Raymond said to Ryan: "Give us at least two more months. If we want to support the empire, we can send an army first, along the waterway against the coastline, starting from Le-Angouran, or Either up the Riker to Brunswick and then to Tarabeheim or even Bekafen, or we could go straight up Westland to Nordland until Erlengrad."

Bertrand glanced at Ryan's reaction and saw that he did not refute, so he continued: "Your Majesty, we have two ironclad ships, the Enterprise and the Varyag, which are the country's most important ships for naval warfare and maritime transportation. Weapons, we also have the Land Cruiser Dreadnought and the Dwarf Colossus McZord on land. We have no reason not to use them. Although the axe bite is easier to pass through, we have to transport the Dread and McZord over there and reassemble them. , this difficulty..."

"Two gentlemen, I know what you said." Ryan shrugged: "I even know that if we leave from Marienburg, the high elves' Marienburg fleet can **** us, right?"

"Exactly." Bertrand thought for a while and suggested: "If the waterway empire can't support it, we can at least support the empire before Chaos hits Tarabeheim."

"Yeah." Ryan nodded, why didn't he know that the waterway was convenient and fast? As long as the main waterway of Le-Angoulan-Marinburg-Brunschweig is opened, it only takes 20 days from Britania to reach the city of Brunswick.

Historically, in ancient times, whether it was war or people's livelihood, waterway was a vital lifeline, and its priority and convenience were many times higher than land routes, and the transportation loss would be much smaller.

"You can think of it, can't the Chaos Army think of it?" Ryan smiled at Ford, Bertrand, Raymond and others: "I am ready with both hands, of course it is good to be able to walk by water, but if it really appears In the event of an emergency or an emergency, we also need to have an alternative plan, Mr. Fu, tell me, what is the upper limit for the army to pass through the axe bite pass, and how long will it take?"

Duke Ford frowned upon hearing this, and he thought for a few minutes before answering: "Your Majesty, the axe bite is 154 kilometers long. If we start from Montfer Castle and end at Bergenhafen, then the total length is 154 kilometers. It is 203 kilometers. For the sake of insurance, we can only travel up to 30,000 people at a time without interrupting logistics, which is the limit.”

"30,000 people, very good, how long will it take?" Ryan nodded.

"The plank road at the Axe Bite Pass has been repaired and reinforced many times, and there are also a large number of sentries and patrols, but many places are still rugged and difficult to navigate." Duke Ford thought for a while and gave an estimate: "If there is no accident , a large army is a month, and a small group of light cavalry travels like a caravan for about 15-20 days."

"No accident?" Surya asked.

"Without heavy rain, without encountering large greenskins in the gray mountains, without encountering any other circumstances, you should be able to arrive at Bergenhafen within a month." Duke Ford nodded: "Ms. blessing."

"The lady will bless us." Ryan smiled.

Although it takes a month from Montfort to get to Bergenhafen on the opposite side, it is the fastest, and it takes more than 1,000 kilometers to reach Brunswick from Curona via the Curona Road. road,

Water transport is really important, Ryan thought that there was no reason why the eternal **** chose Archain. He had to make alternative plans, so that if Chaos blocked the waterway, he still had land to go.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but smile bitterly. The axe bite is considered a good way to go, but it's still like a waste of time. No wonder Prime Minister Zhuge of the Celestial Dynasty in his previous life spent his whole life on the northern expedition but was always trapped in Hanzhong. .

Then someone will definitely say that Han Xin succeeded in secretly defeating Chen Cang.

In fact, it is different. The difficulties Zhuge Liang faced are completely different from Han Xin. First of all, when Chencang was in the dark, the Central Plains forces were in chaos.

Furthermore, there is a very, very important geographical factor, that is, Han Xin can take the waterway when leaving Hanzhong. From Chencangdao directly through the Hanshui to the Weishui, and then follow the Chencang downstream and hit Chang'an all the way. In ancient times, waterways meant high efficiency, speed, and low loss.

So the question is, why didn't Zhuge Liang go by water?

Unfortunately, after the great earthquake in Wudu during the Han Dynasty, the landform of Chencangdao changed, and the Han River was diverted.

By the time Zhuge Liang left Qishan, the waters of the Western Han Dynasty were no longer connected to the Wei River. Han Xin could transport troops and food by water, but in the time of Zhuge Liang, he could only rely on soldiers to push a wheelbarrow down the mountain road to transport food. This was a devastating disadvantage. You can make a surprise (that is, the first northern expedition). As long as the north is prepared, it will be very difficult for Shu to have a chance, unless a military miracle can be played.

This is why Sun Shiwan has to fight Hefei all the time. Hefei is the key point to connect the Huaihe River system and the Yangtze River system.

Similarly, if Ryan wants to support the empire from the axe bite, then he spent 16 years repairing the Grand Canal of Brittany. And the army can come far and wide constantly to the castle of Montferre.

Lane thought for a while, and he turned his eyes to the distance, the gray mountains were as majestic as ever.

Karl Franz, my dear friend, you must persevere until we in Brittany regroup.

…………I am the dividing line that I hold on to…………

"What? Destroyed the main force of Chaos in World War I?"

It was also the autumn of 2524 in the imperial calendar. On the front line of the Golden Fortress, Von Zhukov Castle, the Imperial Emperor Karl Franz was having a meeting, ready to listen to the opinions of the Electors and Imperial Generals.

After nearly two years of fighting against chaos, the imperial people have been very clear that the heart of Chaos will not die. These Yankees are different from any previous enemies. They only have one goal, and that is to destroy the human world.

Under the constant fighting and never-ending losses, the imperial army is very tired, and now the morale is completely maintained by the emperor's personal prestige and his speech after speech, due to the intensity of the Chaos attack. Gao, the imperial army did not make any changes at all, they could only take on one battle after another.

Karl Franz kept urging the supplies, salaries and recruits from the rear to come to the front, and at the same time he also realized that if this consumption continued, the empire would not be able to consume Chaos-the hundreds of thousands of troops basically did not need any supplies, As long as slaughter is the best food and military pay, the power of the evil **** makes the enemy more and more powerful, but the empire is getting more and more tired, after almost exhausting the fishing ground and drawing troops from all over the empire, the emperor now has only 120,000 people in his hands. And scattered along the entire Golden Fortress.

On the opposite side of the Golden Fortress is the 300,000-strong army of Vice Admiral Kejong of Archaon, and it is constantly adding new troops.

Sitting on the throne of Von Zhukov Castle, Karl Franz listened to everyone's opinions.

"Your Majesty, the Golden Fortress has begun to disintegrate automatically. Although our wizards and priests can still maintain the operation of the Golden Fortress, they do not know how to repair some damaged and rusted areas." Kant, the Supreme Dean of the Imperial Academy of Light, confronted the emperor. Said: "What Gelt left behind... It's too esoteric. We have spent all our energy and it is still difficult to understand how the Golden Fortress works. All we can do is to follow the rituals that Gelt left behind."

"Kant, you are the best light wizard since the traitor Egrim, can't even you penetrate the mysteries of the Golden Fort?" Karl Franz sat on the main seat, the emperor lost a lot of weight. In the past two years, except when the winter blizzard was the strongest, he could sleep for a few peaceful nights. The rest of the time the emperor was almost busy with how to maintain the northern line of defense, which made a strong and energetic middle-aged man visibly old to the naked eye. Now, crow's feet have appeared in the corners of his eyes, which is unbelievable for a sanctuary powerhouse who is less than sixty years old.

Hearing Kant's words, the emperor's tone was not very pleasant.

"This is a brand new spell that I have never seen before. I can't analyze its principle, Your Majesty, perhaps only Geert himself..." Kant, the Supreme Dean of Bright Academy, could only immediately admit his mistake.

"Enough, Geert has escaped, we can't put our hopes on him," the emperor frowned upon hearing Geert's name again. Geert was undoubtedly wronged, but he was also stupid, so If Geert is recalled again, where is the authority of the Empire? What should the Justice Church do? What about the Ludenhof family?

"Okay, dear gentlemen, I called you all today, and I hope you can come up with something." The emperor motioned to Kant to go down: "Everyone has witnessed the war for more than a year and participated in the action against the Chaos army. The Empire appreciates your efforts, but it is not enough, far from enough, everyone knows the current situation, and if you have any opinions, feel free to raise them.”

There was silence in the hall.

The Elector Marius was aggressive and apparently had a plan.

Elector Wamir and Elector Alberich remained silent. Their faces were filled with hope and pain. They hoped to change the status quo and were afraid of failure, so they remained silent.

Theodoric Geisel, the king of Nord and the holder of the electoral power of Nord, was furious but did not intend to speak. Perhaps he was ready to retreat.

Marshal Rick Heilberg frowned. The emperor couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw the old man's expression, but he felt sad. Heilberg had been thinking hard for months, trying to find a way to turn the situation around, but he couldn't think of a perfect one. 's strategy.

The remaining generals and court ministers of the empire did not speak, and Boris and Emmanuel were not present, and the empire was left with these few electors.

"Your Majesty, do you mean... we are going to give up the Golden Fort?" Acting Archbishop Esme III asked tentatively.

"The golden fortress helped us resist the forces of Chaos, which is a good point for Geert," the emperor nodded, Karl Franz could only continue: "But... but you have seen the current situation, and so on. We will lose without a doubt.”

There were bursts of muffled "oh oh oh" voices in the arena, and it was obvious that the imperial military and political officials present were aware of this problem.

The emperor needs to change, and the only outcome for the golden fort to keep the empire is to be consumed by chaos.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and no one dares to be the first to speak. If you stick to the golden fortress~www.wuxiamtl.com~ the empire can last for a while. It was the turn of the person who spoke up to take the blame.

Therefore, no one dared to propose to give up the Golden Fortress. Although there are many problems in the Golden Fortress, as long as they can make do with it, everyone will not dare to talk nonsense. Before doing things, the pot must be divided.

Everyone is in a hurry, everyone is waiting, waiting for the emperor to speak.

At this time, only Elector Marius spoke up, and the famous "Crazy Earl" saw that everyone was restrained, and simply said: "Your Majesty, I have three strategies, top, middle and bottom, to break the chaos!"

"Oh?" Karl Franz's eyes lit up when he heard Marius' words. The crazy count Marius' plans are always full of whimsy and neuroticism. Many times his plans are not only very risky, but also require every The potential of the soldier is squeezed to the limit. Sometimes his military plan will bring everything into the abyss, and sometimes it will bring a brilliant military miracle: "Mr. Marius, please speak."

"The best policy is to just give up the golden fortress! Make a decisive battle in Ostermark with the main forces of Chaos!" Marius's voice was very enthusiastic, and he said loudly: "I have already thought about the process, we just need to do this, There is a chance to annihilate the main force of chaos in one fell swoop!"

"The best policy? What is the best policy?"

"Abandon the Golden Fortress directly?"

"Fight directly with the main force of Chaos?"

"Marius, are you crazy?"

The whole hall was full of surprises.

"I'm not crazy, this is the only chance!" Marius said decisively.

"How to do it specifically?" Karl Franz motioned everyone to be quiet, and he motioned Marius to continue.

"Our approach is... to re-enact the battle of the Three Kings of Middenstanger of Knight King Ryan Macado!"
