Lord of War

"It might be too late for Cecilia and the others to come over?" William frowned slightly. What happened this time was beyond their expectations, so that he was completely unprepared, just as natural. There were no emergency measures. "Now Asuna-sama has also launched a counterattack. It is said that the first to be wiped out was the Howard family's troops. The entire 50,000-strong coalition was almost wiped out overnight. "

  Hearing William's words, Sean's brows frowned even more.

  Because he discovered that the facts are indeed as William said, after Cecilia and the priests arrived here to join them, according to Asuna’s strength, I am afraid that the Southeast Theater will basically be wiped out. After all, this lord is the Marquis of Tonys Fortress, one of the next military presidents of the Principality of Lane, and the most promising to become the seventh Valkyrie to take over the title of "Sword of Lane".

  The thundering Valkyrie, Asuna G. Evans.

However, if you don’t wait for the arrival of Cecilia and the priests, the situation is very complicated for the current army of Sean. After all, they have just reorganized and incorporated the three under Prince Kazes. Legion. Although the organization was broken up and mixed into the three main armies, in fact, everyone knew that these people were just cannon fodder. Only those who survived this war of annihilation could truly become Sean. Members of the three main armies under his command.

  In this way, William of course also knew that if there was not enough ability to suppress these surrendered soldiers, then once civil strife occurred on the battlefield, it would definitely be an extremely fatal loss for them.

Because according to the original strategic plan discussed by Sean, Hella, and William, Hella went to negotiate with Angie Nugus, and William and Hella were naturally prepared for the difference in the outcome of this negotiation. Several different contingency plans. This is also the reason why Cecilia and the priests of the Church of Frozen and Winter did not attack with the army this time, and even Sean has already made plans to reveal the second hole card.

In the plan, as long as the negotiation breaks down, Pandaling will have to face the army of the Northwest aristocratic circle of Darbion that has invaded the southern theater. By then, the defenders of the Void City with less than 20,000 will definitely be unable to stop this. The menacing force, even if the Void City now has Cecilia, Thain, and the entire priest group sitting in the same place. So basically, Sean, William, and Hela are prepared to give up two-thirds of the southern theater territory once the negotiation breaks down. Anyway, as long as the Void City does not fall, other places are completely lost to Sean. Words don’t matter.

   A Neshaun firmly believes that he will be able to fight back one by one, but at that time, it is not the Darbion Army that he needs to defend, but the Ryan Army.

  Of course, if the negotiation is successful, then the situation will naturally improve, and the real unlucky ones will be the nobles in the Northwest Theater. Anyway, since they dared to sell the Southern Theater, with Sean’s temper, of course they wouldn’t mind completely selling out the entire Northwest Theater, or even selling the Principality of Lane to Sean—of course he knew it was impossible, after all. With the Tonis fortress blocking it, it is absolutely impossible to conquer this fortress in the current situation of the Darbion Kingdom.

  So in the end the conflict erupted either in the northwest theater or in the southern theater.

However, as long as Hela can negotiate successfully and fight for this outbreak not to be in the southern theater, then once Sean takes down Prince Kazes Hodgedi with a blitzkrieg tactic, they will immediately carry out reorganization. In the sky, the soldiers are divided into two ways. Go all the way back to the Void City, and then set up a line of defense directly at the junction of the Northwest Theater and the South Theater; the other army will continue to command William and go directly east into the Southeast Theater to support Asuna, the Boulder family and the Baidi family Of coalition forces.

  These are the two core strategic goals, but the specific tactics will definitely change according to the actual situation of the battlefield.

  But no matter which strategic goal plan is, it is based on the chaos of the Northwest Theater, because only in this way, Xiao En and others can scurry around on this board without being restricted by any party’s rules. Otherwise, he must consider the attitude of the nobles in the Northwest Theater of Reach Bion in everything. After all, this is related to the next series of plans for Sean, but the emergence of this intelligence document in his hand will ultimately let Sean , William and Hella felt so caught off guard.

  Because of this incident, they are now in a very passive position in the entire southern theater.

  Now this battle is neither fought nor is it not fought.

   And even if you want to fight, I don’t know how to fight or where to fight.

Asuna’s southeast theater obviously does not need reinforcements. Since she can completely remove the Howard family from history overnight, the next step is to end the southeast theater where Darbion doesn’t have any advantage for Asuna. It's easy to turn around, so Xiao En and others naturally changed from being the icing on the cake to the icing on the cake; as for the Northwest Theater, because of the previous collapse that was almost a complete collapse, the counterattack launched by the angered Northwest Theater is naturally extremely fierce. If Xiao En and others go to support at this time, let alone icing on the cake, it is simply a bitch.

  So Xiao En and others are all at a loss.

  "Who do you think will make the move?" But at this moment, William still asked.

   "What?" Sean was taken aback.

  William pointed his finger at the document Sean was still holding.

"It's hard to say." After returning to his senses, Xiao En frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "There are definitely not many people in this world who can do this. At least the Principality of Ryan will definitely not be able to do it. If it can be done, the Kingdom of Darbion would have been completely annihilated in the war more than two years ago, let alone being a subject of the Millennium Covenant Empire for so many years."

   "If you can do this, it should be able to easily change the pattern of the entire continent?" William asked again.

"Except that the pattern of the seven empires may not be changed, there is probably no country that can stop this kind of change, even those extremely powerful kingdoms cannot withstand such losses." Xiao En nodded slightly, "This kind of It’s useless for our cao heart now, anyway, we just need to do what we should do next.... There is no need to go to the Northwest War Zone. Let’s first ask Asuna if we need assistance. I am worried that the Fascist Kingdom will Intervene at this time. After all, this kind of thing cannot be concealed, and other neighboring countries will soon know the news."

"Indeed." William nodded. He also knew that this kind of thing was absolutely unavoidable. At most, it was impossible to detect it in the first time during the war because of the problem of intelligence. As far as the special messaging tool carried by the spy is concerned, it is just a matter of blink of an eye to send the message back to the superior.

   Soon, these important people who came with William left with William one after another. After all, William and Sean have already discussed the results, and naturally they do not need to express any opinions and opinions here. But in this way, everyone felt that their previous behavior was really a bit silly, because their group of people rushed over in a hurry, it was simply unnecessary.

  But at this moment, Sean doesn't have the mind to pay attention to the feelings of these people.

  He held the intelligence document in his right hand tightly for a few minutes, almost crushing the intelligence document.

  Shaun really doesn’t know who did this?

   is just the opposite.

  He not only knows who did it, he even knows what the other person is thinking!

   But the other party's act of acting entirely on his own thoughts also disrupted all of the many plans that Sean had discussed with William before. But, can Sean blame the other party for doing the wrong thing? Obviously not.

  In the final analysis, his speed is too slow.

  So Sean’s anger is more derived from the anger generated by a sense of powerlessness towards himself.

But Sean quickly suppressed the anger. He knew that because of this incident, the entire national war would end at least two to three months earlier. If the hands and feet of those grandchildren in the Northwest Theater were faster, It may be possible to completely conquer the capital of the Kingdom of Darbion within three months, which is a full ten months earlier than the previous war that William and others had expected to last for more than a year.

  From this point of view, it is also a good thing for Sean himself.

It’s just that everything has advantages and disadvantages. Sean’s decapitation tactics using teleportation magic circle for ultra-long-distance teleportation may also be said to be a major invention of the world’s scientific and technological reforms, but things like those described in intelligence documents cannot Simply explained, it is possible that in the future, countries will regard the Principality of Lane as a powerful kingdom that is about to be upgraded to a kingdom. Even the Millennium Covenant Empire and the Chenas Empire will regard the Kingdom of Lane as an imaginary enemy. This is for the Kingdom of Lane. It will definitely not be a good thing.

  At least, it is not a good thing for Sean, who is now completely attached to the Kingdom of Ryan.

  There is no reason for it, just because of a sentence written on the first page of the intelligence document.

   "All the sanctuary powerhouses in the Kingdom of Darbion will disappear within a week."

As we all know, there are a total of seven sanctuary powerhouses in the Kingdom of Darbion, but one of them clashed with the thundering front led by Vivian in the Barren Land, and was seriously injured and escaped; and the second one. It was Florence who relied on the strong crowd tactics to fight directly to the death. And the subsequent rebellion of the Boulder family was tantamount to taking away a strong sanctuary in disguise.

   Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the Kingdom of Darbion was already one place behind the Principality of Ryan in terms of sanctuary powerhouses.

  But at this point, the Kingdom of Darbion reacted very quickly.

Because they directly invested in a sanctuary strong in the Northwest Theater, the Southern Theater did not invest in the sanctuary due to Prince Kazes Hodgedi, and there was a sanctuary strong in the Southeast Theater. , The last remaining strong sanctuary is naturally responsible for guarding the palace. Therefore, facing the Kingdom of Darbion with this tactic, the Principality of Lane, which is one step behind, can of course only be arranged in this way, but the only difference is that the Principality of Lane directly regards Sean’s southern theater as a victim. , Instead appointing Devin Soder Sabre to the southeast theater, and then put a sanctuary strong in the northwest theater to protect Asuna, while the country still left three sanctuary strong as a mobile xing movement .

  Of course, Sean is extremely unhappy with this arrangement, but what qualifications does he have to request or say?

  He is nothing but a baron.

  A baron tried to become the commander-in-chief of a war zone, which naturally caused a strong backlash from the nobility circle.

  If it weren’t for Andrew, let alone persisting until the war between the two countries broke out, the Wild Land would be enough to kill him in the desert. So I want Sean to have a sense of belonging to the Principality of Ryan. This is indeed very difficult, because in the strict sense, he and the Principality of Ryan are nothing more than a mutually beneficial relationship, not even as good as his and Asuna’s. Close relationship.

  Afterwards, Sean learned from Beth that Andrew intercepted and killed a strong sanctuary who entered the southern theater, and at the same time forced away a strong sanctuary hidden by the Nugus family. It was also at this time that Xiao En learned that in addition to the seven sanctuary powerhouses on the bright side of the Darbion Kingdom, there are actually five sanctuary powerhouses whose strength is at the lower peak and close to the middle.

  It's just that because of the selfishness of the nobles, none of these sanctuary powerhouses showed up at the beginning. After all, the four sanctuary powerhouses belonged to the last hole cards in their respective families, and they didn’t want to expose their existence unless necessary—just like the Nugus family who was cut off from the law of the world by Andrew. If Hela hadn't been taken directly by Sean, he might have been hiding forever.

  So on the actual battlefield, there are two sanctuary powerhouses in the Northwest Theater, three in the Southeast Theater, and one in the South Theater.

   But it is a pity that these six sanctuary powerhouses, including the two who stayed behind in the palace, have all been dealt with by Andrew.

  Now it is equivalent to saying that the Kingdom of Darbion does not even have a strong sanctuary!

Judging the overall strength of a country, the number and strength of the sanctuary powers account for a very large proportion. Even if these sanctuary powers generally exist as strategic threats, as long as these powers exist, Then the war will be confined to a small area. Therefore, in any nationwide war, the sanctuary powerhouse who fights to the last side will die first, and it is basically possible to announce the winner of the war.

  And now, the Kingdom of Darbion does not even have a strategic threat, so does this battle still need to be fought?

  The commander-in-chief of the Northwest Theater Commander De Wen found this, and immediately launched a counterattack without hesitation, and he himself was even more personal. In just one day, it completely defeated the army of the Kingdom of Darbion, and then in the next week, the victory of the Kingdom of Darbion was completely turned into a defeat. If there is no accident, Sean believes two Months later, Davin's army will directly attack Garrod Fortress.

  Once this fortress is taken, the Kingdom of Darbion will no longer be safe to defend, and it will only be a matter of time before the country is subjugated.

  As for the Southeast Theater Commanded by Asuna, because of the existence of two sanctuary powerhouses, Sean is sure that she will end the war in the Southeast Theater sooner than De Wen. But because the southeast theater continues to the east is the border with the fascist kingdom, and to the south is the Broken Dragon Valley where the third garrison is located, so even if Asuna ends the war in the southeast theater, I am afraid she will not dare to rush north. Take Garrod Fortress.

  And the person who caused all this situation, or gave such a big gift to the Principality of Lane, is naturally Andrew.

  Only a person like Andrew who completely ignores the existence of the laws of the world can achieve such a crazy degree.

  Sean knew that Andrew couldn’t wait.

  Because of the agreement between him and Andrew, there is only less than half a year left. If he does not end the war within half a year, then he will not be able to provide him with any protection, so Andrew had to speed up the end of the war.

  It’s just that Sean didn’t expect that Andrew would use such a simple and rude way.

Xiao En sighed slightly, but Sean was shocked: "If this war ends within four months...it will be October 23rd, 1874! This ri period...isn’t the first expansion in the game announced. Is this the righteous child? Is this... a coincidence or a historical inevitability!?"

At the beginning of the game, the war between Ryan and Darbion was initiated by Asuna. Although various accidents caused Asuna to retreat from the army because of various accidents, it was still Asuna personally. Breaking through the Garrod Fortress, and then going straight to the royal capital of Dabian, completely put an end to the history of this country.

  That day, it happened to be October 23ri, 1874!

  In this world, although Sean initiated the war, it can even be said that he did it deliberately. But judging from what Asuna did, it was precisely because she went to the palace of the Principality of Ryan that the war officially broke out. Therefore, the history recorded in the history books will only say that Asuna initiated This nationwide war has ended. The progress of the war after this is indeed very unsatisfactory, and it can even be said to be bumpy. If you put these into the history of the original game, you will also be surprised to find that Asuna was forced away by William at the time. It happened to be in mid-April 1874, and it was not until early June that time was found to launch a counterattack. In late August, it captured Garrod Fortress, the last gateway to the capital of Darbion.

At this moment, the trajectory of the timeline happened to stay on June 17, 1874. Asuna, who had been suppressed in the tequila collar, had already launched a counterattack. On the night of June 16, 1874, he nearly wiped out the commander of the Howard family. Fifty thousand army!

  History is developing with an astonishing degree of similarity! (To be continued.)
