Alien Arms Empire

  Chapter 306 306 They haven’t come yet

Tang Mo just nodded after hearing these reports. In fact, these things are just like the weekly reports. They are routine reports. He only came to attend the meeting, but the content of the meeting was for other people at the same level to listen to.

The purpose of holding this kind of meeting is to let unrelated people understand the work progress of peer departments and have a rough judgment on the current situation.

"The following is a report on the war." Soon, several people in charge of production had finished speaking, and the only thing left was the speech of Chief of Staff Loew of the military, who had been very proud of himself recently.

Hearing Harry's roll call, Loew was not polite. He stood up, walked to the map, pointed to the southern sea area with his finger, and gestured on the south side of the Endless Sea: "Bernard's fleet has followed your order. Let’s start heading south, and we’ll probably end up in Talen in the next two days! The war will probably end this month.”

Leo, who had been staring at King Gemelin, the king of the country, added at this time: "Wright VII did not stop us from escorting King Gemelin's convoy. The convoy has already arrived in the royal city and will arrive here soon. "

Tang Mo wanted to appoint a general and appoint a suitable person to take over, but after thinking about it, he didn't have any legal talent.

 So, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and choose a candidate who he thought was mature and prudent: "Very good! Let's leave the matter of trying him to...Leave it to Leo! We don't have a legal department yet."

There is no way. The people in the military are too young. Everyone is only about 30 years old. It is no problem to go into battle to kill the enemy, but if they are asked to judge a person, they are cheating them.

"What a pity. I should have set up such a department. After all, our Datang Group should definitely be the Nanshan Pizza Hut in this world." In his heart, Tang Mo sighed with regret.

 …

"No news yet? Why no news yet?" The current king of the Talon Kingdom is Talon X. This king has been on the throne for a long time.

 Originally, he was also very ambitious and hoped that the Kingdom of Talon could continue to expand its territory under his hands. The previous expansion was indeed very smooth.

 His kingdom had previously defeated the Gobel Kingdom and acquired a piece of territory in the northern part of the Gobel Kingdom. It was considered a successful landing and developed the Talon Kingdom from an island country into a country with land.

This victory made him feel a little carried away. He was so carried away that he listened to Cyric's instigation and ordered his fleet to provoke the Datang Group who shouldn't be provoked.

Everything seemed to be going well at first. 70 warships went all the way north to reach Rewind Port, and the army also invaded Dorne with overwhelming force...

 All the good luck seems to have ended here.

"Your Majesty! Rewind Port is so far away from us. Even if there is news, we have to wait a little longer..." The Prime Minister of the Talon Kingdom quickly spoke to persuade His Majesty the King.

"Wait! How can I wait? It has been more than ten days! There has been no news for more than ten days! How can I feel relieved!" Talon X walked up and down in front of his throne, unable to calm down at all.

What they didn’t know was that the envoy they sent did not actually send the news to Dorne at all, but was killed on the way.

The envoys took a sailing ship to Rewind Port, but their warship was sunk halfway. They were unlucky and ran into the Datang Group fleet that had just headed south. They were sunk without even having a chance to reveal their identity.

 Mr. Special Envoy who can’t swim... Naturally, he didn’t even have a chance to show off his sharp tongue, so he just fed it to the sharks.

The envoy who took the overland route was even more unlucky. He walked along the main road and was directly robbed by the defeated troops of his own kingdom.

He also wanted to scold him in an official tone, but was shot to death by those soldiers. These soldiers did not have the courage to fight against Dorne's troops, but they definitely had the courage to make money in the name of fighting Dorne. Yes, and it's very big...

 The result was that the negotiations, or news of the surrender, was delayed—and delayed without anyone knowing.

"My fleet has suffered heavy losses! My soldiers are being routed! The enemy's sword is hanging above my head! You want me to wait for news?... How can I wait for news with peace of mind?" Talon X shouted angrily, his voice rising. The hall shook.

"Again...send people again! Sue for peace! Sue for peace! Just say that I can compensate for the losses! Just say that I can...and pay another 100,000 gold coins..." King Talon, who was completely confused, could only do it at this time. If you are sick, you need to seek medical treatment immediately.

The prime minister also knew that if he didn't let his king do something, he might go crazy even more, so he quickly winked at a minister next to him.

The other party understood the idea and immediately came out and suggested: "Your Majesty is absolutely right! Why don't we just select another envoy, send them by land and water at the same time, and go and sue for peace again?"

Sure enough, King Talon's face improved a lot when he heard that there was support for his crazy decision. He slumped down in his chair and waved his hands in relief: "Go and arrange! Go and make arrangements! Choose the smart one! Let’s go now! Let’s go now!”

 “Yes! Your Majesty!” The minister bowed slightly, then returned the look to the prime minister, and then exited the hall.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured now...the envoy will leave soon, and the situation is not so bad that it is uncontrollable." The prime minister comforted him at this time. Talon X, who felt more or less that he had done something, waved his hand a little tiredly this time: "You don't have to comfort me... How are you preparing for the shore defense?"

The Talon Kingdom's navy is very strong, so coastal defense has always been a link they don't pay much attention to. Now that the navy has failed and the coastal defense is in a mess, the king has to personally check on the preparations.

"Cyric has made 20 new front-loading cannons and has equipped them to the forts... The port should be safe. I am worried that other islands will be occupied by enemy forces..." The prime minister should not have interfered with the military, but it is a pity that the current situation Chaos, he also had to worry about city defense matters himself.

"If that doesn't work, it would be a good idea to bring the troops back from the land..." The prime minister opened his mouth and gave his opinion.

Now that it has insufficient troops and has to defend a vast land area, it is undoubtedly asking for trouble for the Kingdom of Tarun.

If the 20,000 soldiers stationed on land can be mobilized back, then the defense of the royal city and several surrounding islands can be more certain.

 It is a pity that the king obviously will not give up the territory he has conquered, or give up his achievements.

The king refused impatiently: "That's the territory I conquered! If it's lost, how can I explain it to the former kings? Don't mention this kind of thing again in the future. Didn't you say that the situation has not collapsed yet?" Is it time to clean up?”

The prime minister originally had a good plan to offer, but when he heard what the king said, he could only keep his mouth shut.

Previously, he planned to return all the northern territories that had been occupied by the Kingdom of Gobel. In this way, if the troops who counterattacked on the Kingdom of Dorne continued to attack, they would be fighting in the northern part of the Kingdom of Gobel.

By then, if they retreat, the threat on land will no longer exist; if Dorne does not retreat and continues to fight, the Goblin Kingdom will be involved, and maybe even declare war on the Dorne Kingdom.

 In this way, it is equivalent to adding an ally to yourself, or at least creating a barrier - no matter how you look at it, it is a good strategy.

At the same time, the troops retreating from the land can increase the defense of the island, and the returning population can also fill the population loss caused by the defeat...

 In short, this is a clever plan that kills three birds with one stone, or even kills four birds with one stone. Unfortunately, Talon X has no intention of adopting it.

It's a pity that the temporarily recruited soldiers still need training and have no combat effectiveness at all. They may not even be able to defend the royal city...

The prime minister shook his head unwillingly, sighed and reminded: "Your Majesty! We cannot defend the city wall by relying on the thousands of farmers and fishermen recruited temporarily!"

"Then recruit 3,000 more people! Eight thousand is not enough, just ten thousand! I don't believe how long they can spend here with me after coming all the way!" Talon X roared in anger.

The prime minister bowed his head and said nothing. The atmosphere became awkward, and Talon X couldn't stand it any longer, and muttered impatiently: "They haven't come back yet! They haven't come back yet!"

 …

What the king didn't know was that a fleet of cruisers and four ironclads were heading towards Talon along the channel. And it has entered Talon's offshore area.

Black smoke covering the sky billowed on the sea level. Five warships and a supply ship arrived in the coastal waters of the Kingdom of Tarun in a mighty manner.

A level 1 sailing battleship that came out to guard saw the scary black smoke from a distance, so it quickly turned around and prepared to escape.

As a result, the commander on the battleship soon discovered to his horror that his sailing battleship seemed to be unable to reach even half the speed of the opponent.

 The distance between the two sides was quickly shortened, and then the other side opened fire directly without any hesitation.

 The level 1 sailing battleship, which was blown off the **** with one shot, immediately hoisted the white flag, but the opponent had no intention of letting them go.

Those frightening steel battleships emitted black smoke like devil's machinery, approaching with a mechanical roar, and then fired one after another until the battleship was reduced to parts.

 Broken deck wood is floating everywhere on the sea, and masts and sails soaked in sea water can also be seen.

 The wreckage of these battleships is dotted with corpses floating on the water. The warship that was originally responsible for guarding was sunk in the open sea before even a message could be sent back.
