In order to guard against the forces of the Popong Empire, Owen instructed the senior KPA officers stationed in the north and west to send some of their troops to Longya Ridge to strengthen the defense.The number of garrisons in Dragon's Tooth Ridge has been increased before, and the reinforcements sent over are to better protect the borders of the kingdom and keep all enemies out.As for weapons and equipment, when Longya Ridge was recovered before, Owen had already left a series of weapons and equipment there, such as large artillery brought with the army at that time.As long as it is guaranteed that the rear can provide sufficient ammunition and shells, it should be enough to deal with the aggression of the foreign enemy.Speaking of which, why did the Popang Empire choose to gather an army at this time to launch an invasion?
I am afraid that I want to take advantage of the fact that winter has not yet arrived, suddenly send troops to launch a strong attack, and take the Dragon's Tooth Ridge in the shortest possible time.After entering the winter, the heavy snow closed the road, and it was not easy to march and fight, so the two sides could only temporarily truce, and the Popang Empire took this opportunity to continue to station troops in Longya Ridge and accumulate strength.Wait until the spring of the next year to launch a full-scale offensive in one fell swoop.You must know that behind Longya Ridge is a flat and vast fertile plain.It is estimated that the Popang Empire is very confident that it will be able to use their most powerful land army to push all the way to Junhui City, quickly capture the northern and central regions of the kingdom, and then conquer the entire kingdom step by step.If it was the former Dawnlight Kingdom, the Popang Empire might really succeed in annexing this country, and then they would be one step closer to the goal of dominating the continent.It's a pity that the Dawnlight Kingdom is no longer the declining country with a glamorous exterior and a decaying interior.After this drastic reform, the kingdom of Dawnlight has been reborn.Right now, the kingdom is growing so strongly, Owen will never allow the Popon Empire's army to invade and disrupt their thriving pace.In this way, Dragon's Tooth Ridge entered a state of readiness, and was highly alert for the movements of the Western Popon Empire's army.Once the other side really sends troops to press the border, the KPA is bound to launch a fierce counterattack to defend the country and repel all the enemies.…… A month later, in an open wilderness to the west of Dragon's Tooth Ridge, a group of tents appeared, which was the camp where the Popang Empire's troops were stationed and rested.The 10,000-strong army assembled in Einbeck had finally been dispatched, and they were marching in the direction of Dragon's Tooth Ridge, and their purpose was self-evident.The commander who led this army was Dil, one of the Three Knights of the Empire, who was given the title "Bloodthirst".This man has an unusually strong physique, a fierce face, and several scars on his face alone, not to mention those on his body.The so-called Three Heroes of the Empire are the three knights with the strongest strength and the highest status in the entire empire, and it is a very high honor to be awarded the title by the emperor himself.It is worth mentioning that Dill is different from the other two Imperial Three Knights, he has no surname, was originally a commoner, has no magic power, and cannot use magic.was able to climb to this position step by step, all thanks to the superb combat skills he honed in the near-death battles again and again, and finally won the emperor's appreciation and was exceptionally promoted to the Imperial Three Heroes Knight.Because Dill is very selfless in battle, and if he is not careful, his whole body will be covered with the blood of the enemy, which looks terrifying and bloody.Therefore, Emperor Nicholas gave him the title of "Bloodthirsty".In the central tent, Dill was in a meeting with his men.Diel, who was sitting in his seat, reached out and touched the stubble on his chin, putting on an excited expression of longing to fight a strong enemy."
I heard that the most powerful person in the Morninglight Kingdom is the knight chief named Huth Banjar, I wonder if I can meet him when I attack Dragon's Tooth Ridge?
I really want to have a fight to the death with him. ”"That......
Master Diar. ”One of his subordinates replied cautiously, for fear of offending the Imperial Knight."
I heard that Hughes Bangel is in the Red Sand Fortress, responsible for leading the troops to defend against the undead monsters that invade south every winter, you shouldn't see him in Dragon's Tooth Ridge.""
Really?
What a pity. ”Hearing this, Dill was instantly disappointed.Since there is no strong man who can be seen, then wait for the army to break through the city gate of Longya Ridge, and go and slaughter some civilians to have fun, he thought in his heart.Dill is really worthy of his fierce face, bloodthirsty, and regards killing people as child's play, which is also an important reason why his subordinates are afraid of him."
Master Diar!"
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran in from outside and reported: "Longya Ridge has sent an envoy to ask us what the purpose of the army is to suppress the territory. ”It is normal to be discovered by the other party, after all, this army of 10,000 people is too conspicuous to hide at all.In this regard, Dill didn't care, anyway, they had planned to storm Longya Ridge, and they found out when they found out.Then again, the side of Longya Ridge must be panicked now, and they will launch an attack tomorrow, how long can the other side resist in the face of the powerful army that the Popon Empire is proud of?
Thinking of this, Dill couldn't help but show a hideous expression."
Go and tell the messenger."
He instructed the soldier: "Our army is on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor to drive out the puppet king for the second princess of your country, Trister Wells, and support the orthodox royal family, this is a righteous act!"
”If Emperor Nicholas hadn't warned Dill not to kill the envoys casually, he would have had the envoys sent by Dragon's Tooth Ridge arrested, and then slowly killed himself."
Yes!"
The soldier was immediately ordered to retreat.The next day, Dill led a large army to approach Longya Ridge, and the two armies faced each other a kilometer away from the West City Gate.Sitting on the back of a war horse, Dill raised the big sword in his hand and ordered loudly: "Blow the horn, the whole army will attack!"
”There is no need to send an envoy to persuade him to surrender, because the envoy of the other party has already come yesterday, and there will be no news after he returns, indicating that the other party has no intention of surrendering, so let's start fighting directly.Woo - the horn of attack spread throughout the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Popon Empire raised their weapons one after another and launched an offensive towards Dragon's Tooth Ridge."
Rush, !!""
Kill, !!"
The mages in the rear of the army had already chanted the incantation, raised their staffs, and spread a large magical shield in the air in front of them to resist the large magic of the opponent.This was the way Dil commanded his army, so simple and brutal that even he himself drove his horse and followed the charge.Seeing the enemy troops rushing directly towards him, the commander of the People's Army battalion on the west gate felt stunned.Yes?!
That's it?
What about pre-belligerent conventions?
Who is the commander opposite?
I don't follow the rules.Unable to help but think about it, he hurriedly gave an order to the artillerymen: "Hurry up and open the artillery!"
”Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The artillery positions in the rear emitted a series of loud noises, and one after another high-speed cannonballs broke through the magic shields and fell into the crowd of enemies and exploded, killing a large number of enemies in an instant, and flames and gunpowder smoke also rose into the air.
