Chapter 128 The Line of Defense Collapses

The time advances to December, and it has entered the deep winter season of heavy snow, cold north, and severe cold.

In such a season, according to the traditional concept on the Sainz continent, it is obviously not suitable for any military operations.

Because in such cold weather, not to mention fighting, even an ordinary march may freeze a large number of soldiers under him to death, not to mention that it is difficult to march because of the slippery and muddy roads caused by snow cover.

Therefore, in the tradition of Sainz Continent, winter is a season of truce, and no country will choose to go to war at this time.

But... This winter has completely broken this tradition.

In mid-November, the Kingdom of Lampari defeated the Marfa allied forces near the Gresius Mountains, almost annihilating two-thirds of the main force of the 200,000 Marfa army. He directly killed a magister who was a symbol of invincibility in the eyes of countless people.

Just the victory of this battle caused the situation on both sides to reverse instantly.

Prior to this, the army of the Lampari Kingdom had retreated all the way under the attack of the Marfa coalition forces. By the time they retreated to the Glisius Mountains, they had almost sent back more than half of the territory they had snatched from the Frankish Kingdom.

At that time, everyone felt that the Lampari Kingdom had no ability to resist at all, and could only be driven out of the Frankish Kingdom by the Marfa coalition forces.

Even if the Maro Empire is bolder and directly breaks the tradition that magisters on the Sainz continent are not allowed to join wars that invade other countries, then the Maro-Fa coalition forces will most likely directly invade the Lampari Kingdom.

And it's very likely.

Because in this war that almost swept across the entire Sainz continent, one of the two warring parties is the camp represented by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the other is led by the two empires, and at the same time has a powerful kingdom like the Magic Kingdom of Mana. The kingdom includes almost all the magisters on the Sains Continent except for the two magisters owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Coupled with the support of the two major imperial camps and the magician's guild that has been passed down for thousands of years on the continent of Sainz, it is not surprising that with the support of such a powerful force, it is not surprising to break this unwritten tradition .

After all, there are countless reasons for joining the war.

If this kind of thing really happened, it would be difficult for the Lampari Kingdom to resist the attack of the Marfa coalition forces. In the end, I am afraid that the Lampari Kingdom will perish directly.

However... it was this battle in the Gresius Mountains that shattered everyone's predictions.

Some people may guess that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is capable of helping the Lampari Kingdom deal with the Marfa coalition forces, but no one can guess that the Lampari Kingdom can survive only one battle. Almost completely defeated the Mafa coalition forces.

What really played a decisive role was that the army of the Lampari Kingdom successfully killed one magister and seriously injured the other three magisters in this battle.

By God! This is the result achieved in the face of nearly 200,000 Mafa coalition forces, hundreds of senior magicians, dozens of great magicians, and four magisters!

Judging from the lineup of the Marfa coalition, almost everyone thought that the Marfa coalition didn't even know how to lose, but they didn't expect that they were actually so vulnerable in the face of the real counterattack organized by the Lampari Kingdom. hit!

This is what happened in one battle. In an instant, people had great doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Marfa coalition forces.

Everyone no longer believes that the Marfa coalition forces are capable of defeating the Lampari Kingdom, and even people have great doubts about whether the two empires can win.

There are two most important reasons why the two camps were able to completely suppress the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp during the previous period of war.

One is because they have an absolute superiority in numbers of magisters, which can suppress the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp from the frontal battlefield.

The second is that the two empire camps have deep foundations and sufficient manpower, and can organize attacks in multiple ways at the same time, which makes the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp exhausted.

However, after the battle in the Grisius Mountains, everyone discovered that the magister was not as invincible as imagined, and even the four magisters together could not withstand the attack of the Lampari Kingdom army. Even with one death and three injuries, the biggest support of the two imperial camps on the frontal battlefield has disappeared.

At the same time, this battle also revealed a very important problem, that is, the ordinary troops commanded by the two imperial camps were like unarmed children facing heavily armed adults in front of the troops of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp. There is no ability to resist at all, and can only be completely passively beaten.

In the Battle of Glisius Mountains, when the four magisters were killed and three were injured, the Maro-Fa allied forces originally had as many as 160,000 regular troops, and many of them were equipped with military magic developed by the Maro Empire itself. Mechanically speaking, the fighting power is still strong.

However, under the attack of the Lampari Kingdom, the 160,000 Marfa allied forces failed to make any effective resistance at all. In less than an hour, a large number of soldiers were killed, and in the end most of the losses were lost, and the entire army was even almost wiped out.

Correspondingly, the loss announced by the Lampari Kingdom is almost zero!

Even if there is an important factor in the morale collapse of the Marfa coalition forces. But such a battle loss ratio is still completely beyond everyone's common sense.

After this battle, no one believes that the traditional armies represented by the two empires can pose any threat to the new army represented by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort, equipped with a large number of different types of military magic machines.

Coupled with the fact that senior magicians, even great magicians, and even magisters are no longer able to play the huge role in turning the tide of battle that people imagined, the result is already obvious.

It is impossible for the two empires to be opponents of the army of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the frontal battlefield, and it is the only one that can turn the situation around. It is to delay the situation by relying on its strategic depth and profound background far surpassing the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp, and finally see the right time to drag down the opponent.

The battle of the Glisius Mountains took place in early winter, which was good news for the two empires.

Because winter is about to enter, no matter how great the Lampari Kingdom's advantage is, it can only temporarily suspend its progress and stop the pace of advancement, allowing the Maro Empire to gain breathing time.

If there is a winter time as a relief, then the result will be unpredictable if they fight again in the coming year.

However...the Kingdom of Lampari was beyond everyone's expectations and did not give the Maro Empire a chance to breathe.

On December 6th, when a feather-like snow covered the entire territory of the former Frankish Kingdom and a large area in the southern part of the Maro Empire, the army of the Lampari Kingdom unexpectedly launched an attack. It only took half a day and 30,000 troops cooperated Hundreds of magic tanks and magic chariots have already arrived at the city of Saint Ruth where the Marfa coalition forces that fled in the previous battle in the Gresius Mountains were stationed.

After fighting for half a day, the city of Saint Ruth was destroyed, and only 20,000 people of the Marfa allied forces escaped to the north.

On December 9th, the army of the Kingdom of Lampari pursued the remaining 20,000 Marfa coalition forces and blocked them in the Slood Valley in the northern part of the former Frankish Kingdom.

Seeing that the Marfa coalition forces were unable to resist, the commander, General Phil, chose to lead the crowd to surrender voluntarily, and the Marfa coalition forces were completely wiped out.

Three days later, the army of the Lampari Kingdom invaded Nalian City, which was located on the northern border of the former Frankish Kingdom, and brought back all the territories of the former Frankish Kingdom that had been recaptured by the Marfa coalition forces under their control.

At this point, everyone believed that since the army of the Kingdom of Lampari had regained the territory that belonged to the Kingdom of Frankwa, they should stop.

After all, further ahead is the territory of the Maro Empire. If you enter, it is equivalent to invading the Maro Empire.

Counterattacking the Maro Empire's attack and invading the Maro Empire are two completely different concepts.

In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Maro Empire, all other countries that invaded the Maro Empire's mainland were severely hit in the end, even the Candela Empire was no exception.

No one believed that the Lampari Kingdom, a small country that was inconspicuous on the entire continent more than ten years ago, had the courage to invade the Maro Empire—even if it had defeated the Maro-Fa coalition forces before.

However, the Lampari Kingdom once again shattered everyone's guesses with facts.

On December 23rd, the army of the Kingdom of Lampari, who had rested for ten days, was dispatched, brazenly crossing the southern border of the Maro Empire, and formally invaded the mainland of the Maro Empire.

Although the Maro Empire did not expect that the Lampari Kingdom would really dare to invade, they had already taken precautions. As early as after the defeat of the Maro-Fa coalition forces in the Battle of the Gretius Mountains, they had already withdrawn the troops that simultaneously attacked the Duchy of Drake. After returning, he mobilized a large army from other places to deploy on the border for defense.

Out of emphasis on the combat effectiveness of the Lampari Kingdom's army, the Maro Empire can be said to have mobilized almost all the forces within the empire this time. The magister alone mobilized all the remaining five soldiers, and the total force was Up to three hundred and sixty thousand.

However...it doesn't make any sense.

From December 24th to December 30th, after a week of fierce fighting, the Maro Empire suffered more than 100,000 casualties, 80,000 serious injuries, countless fleeing people, and more than 400 high-ranking soldiers. The magician, nine great magicians, and two magisters were directly killed, and all the others were seriously injured, but they still failed to withstand the attack of the army of the Lampari Kingdom and suffered a disastrous defeat.

The defense line of the Maro Empire collapsed, and the army of the Lampari Kingdom marched straight in from then on.

January 1, 3783 in the continental calendar is the first day of the new year. For other people on the continent of Sainz, this is an important festival to welcome the new year.

However, for the great figures of the Maro Empire and even the two major empire camps, this is a day that makes them tremble with fear.

Because starting today, starting this year, with the army of the Kingdom of Lampari stepping into the Maro Empire, the two traditional imperial powers representing the Sains Continent may also collapse together with the collapse of the Maro Empire's defense line... ( ~^~)
