Chapter 1085 (1/2)
The Duke of Byrne has arrived in Western Saxony, the direct leader of the imperial capital?!
The words echoing in the hall were like directly igniting a whole barrel of kindling agent, and the noise was on the dust.
”What's the matter? Who gave him the power to lead the troops to appear in the imperial capital without authorization?!”
”Why did Duke Byrne come back, not his majesty Connaught?!”
”The battle of duanjieshan fortress is over. Why did your majesty not return?”
”This matter needs to be investigated. He must not be allowed to enter the capital gate until his Majesty's royal order is confirmed!”
The great noise of Ukraine echoed in the hall, and every imperial aristocrat couldn't wait to spit, as if only in this way could they reflect the value and significance of their existence.
In the face of the noisy noise in his ears, guy angert, the count of Rock Castle, just sneered, with an undisguised contempt on his face - the count of Rock Castle, who didn't even like Bain's round table, despised the imperial Parliament.
The Archduke of El Mans, Yuli weltz, was very solemn and respectful; But the sword around his waist and the armor under his cloak proved that his respect was more aimed at the royal family than the imperial Parliament.
”Archduke Yuli vilz, you just said you had received news about the Duke of Loren Turin...”
As the seal minister, mettner didn't care much about their attitude. He was more concerned about the results of the current war in the north of the Empire: ”so there have been messengers who have crossed the battlefield and arrived in the imperial capital, haven't they?”
”A demon hunter under Duke Byrne.”
The Duke of ellemans, who nodded slightly, also looked at the count of the mountain castle on his side and continued to say in a deep voice after getting the other party's nod and acquiescence:
”He crossed the Azores blockade by land and water at night and directly entered the imperial capital - in fact, he sneaked directly into my barracks and told me this information.”
”Duke Loren Turin and his 1500 elite Knights have landed from the lower reaches of the gem river not far from the imperial capital, but they are blocked by the siege of the Azores.”
”The demon hunter who came to send information told me that Duke Bain didn't need us to send troops to help him, but the goal of 1500 Knights was too big. Forcibly breaking through the enemy's blockade was bound to cause a chain reaction - so I hope to get our help. At the same time, the most important thing is to respond in time.”
As you know, the enemy surrounding the imperial capital is the little prince of the Azores, rodriya Azores; in all his battles with him, only Duke Byrne has surpassed him and knows what the weakness of the enemy is
”On the contrary, our enemy must know very well; once he knows that Duke Byrne is alone outside the city at this time, he will be desperate to encircle and suppress him; once he succeeds, it will be an irreparable loss!”
”I see.”
Mettner nodded solemnly: ”I will report this matter to Her Highness phillanai, the long princess, as soon as possible, and ask her to ask herself - is the demon hunter messenger still in the imperial city now?”
”Yes, he hasn't left yet.”
”Then please take me to see him at once.” mettner said without hesitation: ”I have many things to ask the messenger for information about the battle of the broken boundary mountain!”
…………………
While the nobles in the capital Golovin were still arguing for their respective interests, Loren Turin, who finally landed on the land of West Saxony, immediately found a somewhat bad problem.
He originally thought that the Azores elf prince, who forcibly broke through the eboden line, almost lost his army and lost all his logistical supplies, would immediately launch a siege in order to win time, so as to capture the capital Golovin in the shortest time.
At least... We should also make some gestures, which pose a very significant threat to the security of the imperial capital.
In the past few years, Loren has encountered a similar situation more than once, and even did it himself several times; The battle of Qianzhang City, the battle of silver helmet mountain, the battle of cloud peak... The more logistics is insufficient and the war situation is unfavorable, the more it is necessary to create a sense of crisis for the defenders, so as to create fighters.
But the elf Prince did not seem to choose to do so, or even did the opposite.
He began to disperse the army and gradually controlled the manors, outposts, villages and towns and fortresses in Western Saxony. The general situation is very similar to that near melting pot town.
All the ”occupied areas” controlled by them are almost indiscriminate burning, killing and plundering - sweeping the countryside, burning fields, cutting down orchards, destroying workshops, robbing warehouses... Any imperial people who dare to stay within their control have only one end: death.
Thirty thousand Azores Elven pioneers, as well as the subsequent unorganized Elven warriors, are gradually encroaching on the direct subordinates of the imperial capital occupying West sakran and turning it into their territory.
It can be seen from all these deeds that Prince rodriya Azor and his Samurai officers are not in a hurry to attack the capital Golovin, let alone face to face with the 80000 Bain legions and other defenders in the city.
This is good news for the garrison, because the enemy's forces are so scattered that they can even control the whole imperial city defense with insufficient forces at hand, and even have spare power to drive away the enemies close to the imperial defense circle.
But for Lauren, the situation is a little bad.
Although the total strength of the enemy and ours is nearly 150000 and may even approach 200000, this is not enough for a metropolis with a population of one million.
Because neither offensive nor defensive sides are fools, it is impossible to spread their troops on all the walls, and there must be a main direction of attack; Then there must be a large blank area in the battlefield, which can let Loren calmly avoid the enemy's sight and enter the city.
Now the elf Prince's approach is to give up besieging the city and blockade the surrounding areas instead; Any army that wants to enter the imperial capital area is bound to be noticed by him.
Fortress, manor, sentry tower... These are his ”points”. The elf warriors patrolling around here are his blockade ”lines”. The range radiated by ”points” and ”lines” is his control area.
If you want to pass through this area safely, you must pull out at least one stronghold and wipe out the troops patrolling around - if only yourself, Loren can find a way to sneak through.
But now he has 1500 knights, tax collector Joad Jr. and Bishop Byrne Weber, so he must change his original plan, or
A new ”stealth” way.
”No, no, absolutely not!”
Before listening to Loren's ”new plan”, little Joad shook his head in horror: ”I don't know if others can do it. Anyway, I can't do it!”
