Lord of War

[Dream has set sail] The sailing management team is recruiting new members! !

"Wait for Cecilia and the others to come, maybe it's too late?" William frowned slightly. What happened this time was beyond everyone's expectations, so that he was completely unprepared. Naturally, there are no emergency measures, "Now Master Asuna has launched a counterattack. It is said that the first to be wiped out is the troops of the Howard family. The coalition army of 50,000 people was almost wiped out overnight. .”

Hearing William's words, Sean frowned even tighter.

Because he found that the facts were indeed as William said, when 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 Fortress Tonis, one of the future military commanders of the Principality of Lane, and the most promising seventh Valkyrie to take over the title of "Sword of Lane".

Thundering Valkyrie, Asuna G. Evans.

However, if the arrival of Cecilia and the group of priests is not expected, the situation for Sean's army is quite complicated. After all, they have just reorganized and incorporated Prince Cazes Hokkidi's command. Legion. Although the organization was broken up and mixed into the three main armies, in fact, everyone knows that these people are just cannon fodder. Only those who survived this war of annihilation can truly become Xiao En. A member of the three main armies under his command.

In this way, William certainly knew that if there was not enough ability to suppress these surrendered soldiers, once civil strife broke out 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, it was Hela who would negotiate with Angie Nugus, and William and Hela 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 Ice and Winter Church did not attack with the army this time, and even Sean was ready to turn over the second hole card.

In the plan, as long as the negotiations break down, the Panda collar must face the army of Dabion's northwest aristocratic circle that has fully invaded the southern theater. At that time, the Void City will have less than 20,000 defenders. The menacing force is the same even if Cecilia, Thain and the entire group of priests are sitting in the city of the void. So basically, Sean, William, and Hela are all mentally prepared to give up two-thirds of the territory of the southern theater once the negotiation breaks down. Anyway, as long as the Void City does not fall, it will be very important for Sean to lose all other places. Words don't matter.

An Inner Sean firmly believed that he would be able to fight back one by one after all, but at that time, what he needed to guard against was not the Darbion army, but the Ryan army.

Of course, if the negotiation is successful, the situation will naturally improve, and the real unlucky ones will be those nobles in the Northwest Theater. Anyway, since they dared to sell the southern theater, with Sean's temper, of course he wouldn't mind completely selling out the entire northwest theater, and he wouldn't mind even selling the Principality of Ryan—Of course he knew that this was impossible, After all, there is the Tonis Fortress blocking it. With the current situation of the Darbion Kingdom, it is absolutely impossible to capture this fortress.

So in the end, the conflict either broke out in the Northwest Theater or in the South Theater.

However, as long as Hela can negotiate successfully and win the outbreak not in the southern theater, then once Sean uses the blitzkrieg tactics to take down Prince Cazes Hokkidi, they will immediately reorganize.

Be sure to divide the army into two groups within two days. Return to the Void City all the way, and then directly set up a defense line at the junction of the Northwest Theater and the South Theater; the other army will continue to be commanded by William, and go directly east to the Southeast Theater to support Asuna, the Boulder Family and the Baidi Family coalition forces.

These are the two core strategic goals, but the specific tactical formulation will definitely change according to the actual situation on the battlefield.

But no matter which strategic target plan it is, it is based on the chaos in the Northwest Theater, because only in this way can Xiao En and the others freely scurry around on this chessboard without being restricted by any party's rules. Otherwise, whatever he does, he must consider the attitude of the nobles in the Northwest Theater of Dabion. After all, this will involve Sean's next series of plans, but the appearance of this intelligence document in his hand will eventually make Sean , William and Hella felt a little caught off guard.

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

Now this battle is neither fought nor not fought.

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

Asuna's southeast war zone clearly does not need reinforcements. Since she can completely remove the Howard family from history overnight, it is for Asuna to end the southeast war zone where Darby Ang has no advantage. It was so easy, so Xiao En and others naturally turned from the original timely help to the icing on the cake; as for the Northwest Theater, because of the previous defeat that was close to a total collapse, the counterattack launched by the Northwest Theater, which is now full of anger, is naturally extremely fierce. If Xiao En and the others go to support at this time, let alone icing on the cake, it will simply be a tiger's mouth.

So Xiao En and the others all looked blank.

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

"What?" Sean froze for a moment.

William pointed to the document that Sean was still holding.

"It's hard to say." Sean, who came back to his senses, frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "There are absolutely not many people in this world who can do this, at least the Principality of Ryan certainly can't do it. If it could be done, the Dabion Kingdom would have been completely wiped out in the war more than two years ago, and it would not have been a vassal state of the Millennium Covenant Empire for so many years."

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

"Except for the fact that the structure of the Seven Great Empires may not be able to change, there is probably no country that can stop this kind of change, even those extremely powerful kingdoms cannot withstand such losses." Sean nodded slightly, "This kind of It's useless for us to worry about things now. Anyway, we just need to do what we should do. ... There is no need to go to the Northwest Theater. Let's ask Asuna if there is any need for assistance. I am worried that the fascist kingdom will Intervene at this time, after all, this kind of thing cannot be hidden, and other surrounding countries will soon know the news."

"Indeed." William nodded. He also knew that this kind of thing could never be hidden. With the special messaging tools carried by spies, it's only a blink of an eye to get a message back to their superiors.

Soon, the important people who came with William left with William one after another. After all, William and Sean have already discussed the results, so naturally there is no need for them to express any opinions and opinions here. But in this way, everyone felt that their previous behavior was a bit stupid, because it was unnecessary for a group of them to rush over in a hurry.

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

His right hand holding the intelligence document in his hand tightened a little, almost crushing the intelligence document.

Does Sean really have no idea who did this?

Quite the opposite.

Not only did he know who did it, he even knew what the other party was thinking!

However, the other party's act based entirely on his own ideas also disrupted all the plans that Sean had discussed with William before. However, can Sean blame the other party for his wrong actions? Obviously not.

In the final analysis, his speed is too slow.

Therefore, Sean's anger is more derived from the anger generated by a sense of powerlessness in himself.

But Xiao En quickly suppressed this anger. He knew that because of this incident, the entire national war would end at least two to three months earlier. If the grandsons in the Northwest War Zone acted faster, It might take up to three months to completely capture the capital of the Darbion Kingdom, which is a full ten months earlier than the previous war that William and others predicted might last 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. Xiao En's beheading tactic of using the teleportation magic circle to carry out ultra-long-distance teleportation may be said to be a great invention of the world's scientific and technological reforms, but things like the ones described in the intelligence documents cannot Simply explained, maybe all countries will regard the soon-to-be-upgraded Kingdom of Ryan as a powerful kingdom, and even the Millennium Covenant Empire and Chinas Empire will regard the Kingdom of Ryan as an imaginary enemy. Definitely not 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 other reason, just because of a sentence written on the first page of the intelligence document.

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

As we all know, there are a total of seven sanctuary powerhouses whose identities are publicly disclosed in the Kingdom of Dabion, but one of them had a conflict with the Thundering Front led by Vivienne in the barren land before, and was seriously injured and fled; The two were directly fought to death by Florence's crowd tactics relying on the strong. And the subsequent rebellion of the Boulder family was equivalent to taking away a strong man in the sanctuary in disguise.

Therefore, it is equivalent to saying that at the beginning of the war, the Kingdom of Dabion was already one place behind the Principality of Ryan in terms of the powerhouses in the sanctuary.

But at this point, the Dabiang Kingdom responded very quickly.

Because they directly sent a sanctuary expert to the northwest theater, the southern theater did not invest in the sanctuary expert because of Prince Cazes Hochidi, and there was also a sanctuary expert left behind in the southeast theater , the only remaining strong sanctuary on the bright side is naturally responsible for guarding the palace. Therefore, in the face of the Kingdom of Dabion, which is using such tactics, the Principality of Ryan, which is one step behind, can only be arranged in this way, but the only difference is that the Principality of Ryan directly regards Sean's southern theater as a victim. , instead appointed Devin Sordel Shabo to go to the southeast theater, and then put a sanctuary expert in the northwest theater to protect Asuna. did not move.

Of course, Sean was extremely displeased with such an arrangement, but what qualifications did he have to ask or say anything?

He was nothing more than a baron.

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

If it wasn't for Andrew, let alone persist until the outbreak of the war between the two countries, that one time in the barren land would be enough for him to be buried in the desert. So it is indeed very difficult for Sean to have a sense of belonging to the Principality of Ryan, because strictly speaking, he and the Principality of Ryan are nothing more than a mutually beneficial relationship, which is not even as good as the relationship between him and Asuna. close relationship.

Later, Sean learned from Bess that Andrew had intercepted and killed a sanctuary expert who had entered the southern war zone, and at the same time forced away a sanctuary expert hidden by the Nugus family. It was also at this time that Xiao En knew that apart from the seven supernatural powers in the Dabion Kingdom, there were actually five sanctuary powers whose strengths were all 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, these four sanctuary powerhouses are the last cards of their respective families, and they don’t want to expose their existence unless necessary—just like the one in the Nugus family who was cut off from the world law by Andrew, If Hela hadn't been directly captured by Sean, he might have remained hidden forever.

So on the actual battlefield, there are two holy domain experts in the northwest theater, three in the southeast theater, and one in the southern theater.

But it's a pity that Andrew has dealt with all the six sanctuary powerhouses, including the two left behind in the palace.

Now it is tantamount to saying that the Dabion Kingdom doesn't even have a strong sanctuary!

To judge the comprehensive strength of a country, the number and strength of the strong in the sanctuary account for a very large proportion. Even if these strong in the sanctuary generally exist as strategic threats, as long as there are these strong, Then the war will definitely be confined to a small area. Therefore, in any national war, whichever side's sanctuary powerhouses die first, can basically announce who the winner of the war is.

But now, the Kingdom of Dabion doesn't even have a strategic threat force, so does this battle still need to be fought?

After discovering this, Commander Dai Wen of the Northwest War Zone immediately launched a counterattack without hesitation, and he even went into battle himself. In just one day, the army of the Dabion Kingdom was completely defeated, and then in the next week, the previous victory of the Dabion Kingdom was completely turned into a defeat. If there is no accident, Sean believes that the two In a month's time, Dai Wen's army will directly attack Garrod Fortress.

Once this fortress is captured, the Kingdom of Dabion will no longer be able to defend without any danger, and it will only be a matter of time before the country dies.

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 faster than Devin. But because the southeast theater continues to the east and the border of 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 directly. Take Garrod Keep.

And the person who caused all the current situation, or gave such a big gift to the Principality of Ryan, was naturally Andrew.

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

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 has no choice but 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 method.

Sighing slightly, Sean was taken aback: "If this war ends within four months...it will be October 23, 1874! This date...isn't it the first expansion pack in the game to be announced? Is this the day? Is this... a coincidence or a historical necessity!?"

In the original game, the war between Ryan and Dabion was initiated by Asuna. Although Asuna was injured and retreated due to various accidents, in the end it was Asuna herself. Breaking through Garrod Fortress, and then going straight to the capital of Darbion, completely put an end to the history of this country.

That day happened to be October 23, 1874!

In this world, although Xiao En provoked the war, it can even be said that he did it deliberately. But judging from what Asuna did, it was 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 the war. this national war. The progress of the war after that was indeed very unsmooth, even bumpy. If you put all these in the history of the original game, you will also be surprised to find that the day when Asuna was forced to leave by William, It happened to be in mid-April 1874, and it was not until early June that they found time to launch a counterattack. In late August, they captured the last gateway of the royal capital of D'Abion, Fort Garrod.

At this moment, the trajectory of the time axis just stays on June 17, 1874. Asuna, who has been suppressed in the Tequila Territory, has launched a counterattack and nearly wiped out the commander of the Howard family on the night of June 16, 1874. The 50,000-strong army!

History is developing with an astonishing degree of similarity!
