Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

On January 24, 540 in the New Calendar, Boulder City fell.

Under the protection of several Crusaders, the commander of the Crusaders, Karawi Wendel, had no choice but to flee from the west gate of Boulder City in a panic.

He turned back and looked at the fortified city that had been devastated by the artillery fire of the Idar people, and was silent for a while.

He has experienced war, but never such a war!

The completely different weapons brought completely different combat methods to the Idar people, and also allowed the Crusaders who guarded Boulder City to witness the strength of the Idar army for the first time.

Feeling helpless and helpless.

This is the truest thought in Karaway Wendell's heart after the war.

He really wanted to go to the battlefield and fight the Idar people in person, but the Idar soldiers would not give any Crusader soldiers such a chance!

after all……

Since the Idars only needed long-range artillery fire to make the Crusaders collapse without attacking, why did they still fight for their lives with the Crusaders?

And even when the Idar army finally began to engage in close combat with the Crusader soldiers when they officially attacked the city, the weapons of the Crusader soldiers were unable to cause the slightest harm to the Idar people who were huddled in the steel shell. Kill.

"The Central Plains...it's over..." Callaway Wendell muttered absently.

Boulder City is the only pass between the central Great Plains and the Moore River Valley. The fall of Boulder City means that Idar's army can directly penetrate into the mainland, attack the imperial capital to the west, and intimidate the Holy City to the south. !

This directly changed the war situation! Let the church's position become increasingly passive!

You know, for such an important fortress, the order given by the church to Callaway Wendell at that time was to hold on for as long as he could!

But……

How long can you hold on?

Callaway Wendell only lasted three days!

After careful preparation, the Church spent nearly a month to break through the imperial capital of Saint Lawrence; the Odin Empire, which adopted sneak attacks and flanking tactics, took nearly a week to break through the Northern Territory, which stood in the northern border of the empire. Fourteen Fortresses.

But looking at the Idar army, it only took them three days to break through the Stone City guarded by tens of thousands of Crusaders!

And the most critical thing is... Idar's army obviously didn't do its best!

From the beginning to the end, except for the launch of the general offensive on the last day, the Idar Army almost always rested and trained in the camp, having a picnic while watching the artillery fire in Boulder City!

The huge gap between the weapons and equipment of the two sides made it difficult for Callaway Wendell to resist!

This battle is simply unwinnable!

"move……"

Callaway Wendell took one last look at the Stone City he had left behind, and then let out a long sigh...

…

For the Idar people, the victory at the Battle of Boulder City is definitely an extremely good start.

The fall of Boulder City and the entry of the Idar people not only dynamically connected the central battlefield and the northern battlefield, but even allowed the Idar army to secure victory in the northern battlefield in advance.

Because Boulder City is not only the eastern gateway to the Central Plains, but also the hub guarding the Kelvin Basin and the Central Plains.

When the Idar army completely takes control of this key military fortress, the connection between the Crusaders stationed in the Kelvin Basin and the holy city of Bethlehem will undoubtedly be severed.

This not only made the Crusaders soldiers in the Kelvin Basin completely become the turtles in the urn of the Idar people, but also caused the Crusaders soldiers stationed in the Kelvin Basin to resist the Idar Northern Army Group to lose their only channel to obtain logistical supplies!

Thus……

The Crusaders stationed in the Kelvin Basin were left with only two choices: fight to the death, or surrender.

Obviously, even if they choose the former and decide to confront Idar's army head-on without fear of death, then these Crusader soldiers who lack logistical supplies may only be able to exert less than half of their combat power.

after all……

Even if faith BU brings a large number of bonuses to the Crusader soldiers, the debusses of logistics shortages, insufficient supplies, reduced organization, and reduced coordination will completely overwhelm the bonus effects of frontal BU.

Therefore, the northern battlefield is stabilized!

On January 26, 540 in the New Calendar, the Crusader soldiers stationed in the Kelvin Basin finally surrendered under the leadership of the Crusader generals, completely clearing the obstacles in front of the Idar Northern Army Group.

The next day, the Idar Northern Group Army moved south, and together with the Idar Royal Guards stationed on the middle battlefield, they broke into the endless central plains from both directions.

The Battle of Boulder City caused heavy losses to the Crusaders on the Eastern Front. In addition, the terrain of the central Great Plains was flat and undefendable. The advancing actions of Idar's army were even more like entering uninhabited territory, which could almost be called alien. Blitzkrieg of the world!

On January 27, 540 in the New Calendar, the province of Arturo fell.

On January 28, 540 in the New Calendar, the province of Doramonk fell.

On January 29, 540 in the New Calendar, the province of Kalkot fell.

On January 30, 540 in the New Calendar, St. Lawrence, the former imperial capital of the Norman Empire and the capital of the Norman province, fell!

At this point, the central plains were completely controlled by Idar's army.

…

Imperial City, St. Lawrence.

When the military jeep drove through the gate of this ancient imperial capital, Sam Layton asked the soldiers to stop the car, and he pushed open the car door.

Looking up and staring at this city that carries thousands of years of Norman history, anyone's heart will be filled with emotion.

Since the Alexander family established the Norman Empire, St. Lawrence has become the center of the entire continent. During these years, St. Lawrence has not only been the center of the continent, but also the center of the entire Norman Empire. It is the center of this country. The ultimate symbol of power!

And now...

After the Norman Empire and the Church of Light, the Idars became the new masters of the city.

When Sam Layton was young, he followed Bruno's father to this city.

At that time, St. Lawrence was bustling with people, all industries were prosperous, and the crowds on the streets were not as dense as the current Idar City, but it was still a huge and prosperous city on the mainland at that time.

only……

After experiencing the ravages of war after war, the periphery of this giant city has become covered with scars.

The crumbling walls have not yet been repaired, and the banner of the Crusaders is trampled underfoot.

The Idar soldiers followed Sam Layton, slowly walked through the city gate with some echoes, and walked into this city that was no longer as prosperous as before.

As early as half a year ago, the Norman Palace located in the center of the city had been set alight by crazy church believers and Crusaders soldiers when the Crusaders entered the city.

therefore……

When Sam Layton came here, what appeared in front of him was a ruins that had not yet been cleared out.

The originally natural marble has been smashed into pieces, and traces of smoke and fire are almost all over the broken walls that barely survived.

"The Norman Palace is just gone..." Sam Layton grinned and showed an inexplicable smile.

At this moment, his heart was filled with extremely complex emotions.

actually……

Even Sam Layton himself couldn't describe what kind of emotion it was.

Maybe that's the pride of temporarily becoming a winner? Or do you feel pity for the once prosperous empire? Or are you worried that the Idar Empire in the future will follow in its footsteps and make the same mistakes again?

But no matter which emotion he was in, Sam Layton knew very well that all this was in the past, and the Norman Empire, which was still lingering a few years ago, had become what this continent once was. history.

As for the future...

Everything in the future will be created by Idar people! And the Idar Empire is bound to embark on a completely different path under the leadership of His Majesty Bruno!

"General Sam Layton..."

On the side, a mage Idar who followed Sam Layton and was responsible for maintaining the magic machinery pointed at the open space not far away with his slightly trembling hands: "Look there..."

Hearing this, Sam Layton turned back and looked at the empty street. There was nothing there.

"You mean those mage towers that originally stood there? That complex of buildings on Alfaro Street?"

After all, Sam Layton had been here before, so... it took almost only a moment for him to understand the meaning of the mage's words.

"Before coming to the Idar Empire, I studied magic there..."

As he spoke, he saw a hint of emotion on the face of the mage.

He did not miss the time when he studied magic in Saint Lawrence, because most of the mages who first went to the Idar Empire were either marginalized or lacking in magic talent.

Perhaps their only memory of Saint Lawrence is that they huddled in an inconspicuous corner of the mage tower, admiringly watching those talented mage apprentices receiving advice from a certain great master again and again. Your Majesty’s teachings.

only……

When he came to St. Lawrence again, the former Alfaro Street had the same ending as the Norman Palace.

After officially intervening in the situation on the mainland, the Church of Light has made no secret of its resistance to magic. They regard magic as an evil existence and describe mages as sinners corrupted by hell.

So, while setting fire to the Norman Palace, the church also reduced the Mage Tower complex, which was the same age as the imperial capital of St. Lawrence, to ruins.

The mages living in the imperial capital fled in all directions, and countless mage apprentices became dead souls in the hands of the Crusaders before they could release their magic.

so……

When Sam Layton, the mages of the Idar Empire, and the Idar army set foot in this former imperial capital... not only did the vast and extravagant Norman Palace turn into ruins, but the distinctive Gothic mage tower also turned to dust. .

After a long time, Sam Layton suddenly said:

"That's why... we want to destroy the Church of Light!"

"As His Majesty mentioned, the views imposed by the church on people will only imprison people's rational thinking and will only lead to unprovoked killings."

"And the Idar Empire will change everything!"

After saying that, Sam Layton's eyes became firmer, and the belief in his heart also became firmer at this moment.

As the commander of Idar's army, Sam Layton was also glad that he knew what to do next.

At this moment, if you look at the map, the Light Church's sphere of influence on the mainland has almost been cut off by the Idar army.

Except for the Albona River north of the Central Great Plains and the area west of the imperial capital Bethlehem, which is still controlled by the bishops and remnant soldiers of the Church of Light, the Idar army has occupied a vast land including St. Lawrence.

so……

The next thing Idar's army has to do is go south! March south! Go and face the last barrier of the Church of Light! To occupy the last resort of the Church of Light!

March to Bethlehem!

…

February 1, 540 in the New Calendar,

The Idar Northern Army Group in charge of the northern battlefield officially joined forces with the Idar Royal Guards and began to push towards the southern part of the empire!

With Idar's 1st Armored Brigade as the vanguard, Idar's main battle corps and meritorious corps supported the two wings. More than 50,000 Idar sergeants marched towards the holy city of Bethlehem from all directions. UU Reading www. uukanshu.net And on February 3, 540 in the New Calendar, they gathered troops outside Bethlehem.

Although it is already February, the long winter is not over yet.

Even the suburbs of Bethlehem, which has always been regarded as the "City of Spring", have been baptized by the cold wind.

"So... is this the holy city of Bethlehem?"

Bruno put down the telescope in his hand and asked Sam Layton standing next to him.

The time to explore the pyramid was much shorter than Bruno originally expected.

Although he experienced a lot of dangers, there is no doubt that... the result was good. Bruno finally stood unscathed on the outskirts of the holy city of Bethlehem, standing in the military formation of the Idar Empire. middle.

"yes!"

Sam Layton nodded seriously, but... the way he looked at His Majesty was still filled with a little fear and resentment.

Of course, the news that Bruno was heading to the Augure Desert was not spread to the front line.

Because when Krell, the director of the Idar CIA, received the news from Mondale, he was very clearly aware of the shock that this news would bring to the morale of the Idar army.

so……

In order not to interfere with the war plans of the frontline generals or disrupt the arrangements of the Idar Empire, the news of Bruno's departure was only limited to a small scope.

only……

As Bruno returned successfully riding a griffon and directly arrived at the front line of Idar's army, the news that Emperor Idar had gone deep into the desert alone was no longer a secret...
