Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 210: Being in the Bureau

If Prince Widreck is a man who does what he does, is resolute, doesn't greed, and doesn't play the undisturbed, then perhaps the sickle plan developed by the Army Department in the most desirable circumstances will come true. The Kingdom of Ovieras can sweep across the eastern part of the continent in the shortest possible time, sending the anti-O5 alliance into the abyss, without the three years of fighting that followed, and so many events and accidents that shocked the entire Farea continent…

Perhaps only the passage of time will allow the conspiracy to float before the world, but at this point the only thing the Bluefeathers can complain about is choosing a prince who is not fit for the front line to supervise the army. They must endure the prince's procrastination and unreliable greed and scattered style of action and escape from their control by watching the warplanes.

The Red Dragon Legion and the Vulture Legion on the western front are also slowly moving forward along the border of the Kingdom of Nasseri, knocking out that defensive facility with artillery, which is intense and somewhat of a loss. On the eastern side of the line, which already occupies two thirds of the territory of the Principality of Siddins, Prince Widreck's delays and delays in arriving at the front line render the subsequent offensive plan of the Blue Feathers Corps completely null and void. With the arrival of the Duchy of Eskirin, the Duchy of Rimodra and the Duchy of Kanas reinforcements, it is likely that the Blue Feathers Corps will wage a great battle with the enemies to determine the fate of the Principality of Siddins...

But it was also one of several options developed by the Army Department, the original sickle plan, which was for the Blue Feather Regiment to cross the Odin Mountains from a secret tunnel, force down the guards of the Principality of Siddins on two defensive fronts, and then sweep the entire Principality of Siddins with a thunder, occupying two seaport cities, approaching the country of Ivanorsburg and defeating the demise of the Principality of Siddins.

The Blue Feather Regiment immediately entered the kingdom of Nasri from the Principality of Siddines, the back of the kingdom of Nasri, and where there was no defense. How could the Kingdom of Nasserli not have imagined the imminent demise of the Principality of Siddins, at the border between the two countries, a Ma Pyeongchuan, the Blue Feather Regiment sweeping behind its strategy from the defenceless ribs of the Kingdom of Nasserli, like a sickle? With the Red Dragon Regiment, the Lizard Regiment clamped back and forth, disrupting the war deployments of the Kingdom of Nasserli, depriving each other of their ability to resist the attacks of the Kingdom's three major field ace regiments and subsequent second-line regiments.

As long as the Kingdom of Nasri surrenders or perishes, the remaining three principalities will no longer be able to withstand the strength of the Kingdom of Ovieras, which will soon be extinguished by a war sweeping across the eastern part of the continent and which will soon become a regional power in the eastern part of the unified Farea continent.

Of course, it is only ideal that the Bluefeathers attack the Principality of Siddins without any mistake. But now this situation has been artificially interrupted. Although the Blue Feather Legion has arrived beneath Fort Avenas, it is unable to launch an attack. It can only sit and watch the enemy's reinforcements continue to arrive...

But this was not unexpected before the war, so the Blue Feathers simply retreated for another 30 to 40 miles to prepare for the second strategic reserve plan, which was to destroy the Principality of Siddins with a victory in a major battle between the final armament of the Principality of Siddins and the reinforcements of the other three Principals under Fort Avena, while also showing the three Principals a strong view.

So the Blue Feather Regiment is not urging Prince Widreck to accelerate his journey now. The Blue Feather Regiment is obviously not enough for a major battle. At least two second-line regiments have to be sent from the rear. It has been detected that the three Principality of Eskilin, the Principality of Rimodra and the Principality of Kanas have each sent a corps of reinforcements to the Principality of Siddins, which, together with the remaining armed forces of the Principality of Siddins, has reached a total strength of more than 220,000 troops.

If the enemy's reinforcements had not arrived in Fort Ivana, and if there were some unclear complications in logistics, front-line command, etc., perhaps the Blue Feather Corps would have been under siege by now. The current situation is that the Blue Feather Regiment's second fielder is setting up a defensive front in a hilly area more than forty miles from Fort Ivana, placing the battlefield for future battles here, and awaiting the arrival of two subsequent second-line regiments on the front line.

At the top of the Blue Feather Corps, there is optimism that, with the arrival of two subsequent second-line regiments, the Royal Army, with a strength of 160,000, can hang more than 200,000 people from each other, and the victory in the battle to destroy the Principality of Siddins is an unquestionable fact. There are even a number of senior people who believe that in fact, the delay in Prince Widreck's journey is not a bad thing for the Blue Feather Regiment. After all, this battle is dominated by the Blue Feather Regiment, which is much better than implementing the sickle plan to invade the Kingdom of Nasserley in cooperation with the Red Dragon Regiment and the Lizard Regiment...

So Prince Widreck's journey was all the less tense, until mid-August, two and a half months after the outbreak of the war, he finally arrived in Amis City and rested for another three days, which was the beginning of business, and after the surrender ceremony and the handover of the city pool and prisoners, the first fielder of the Blue Feather Regiment was finally able to open for the front line. As the weather began to heat up, Prince Widreck was nestled in the capital of Amis City, not wanting to jump out the far door, and assigned two honorary generals to follow him to the seaport cities of the Principality of Siddins for the handover, accompanied by two divisions of the second-line regiment stationed in Amis City.

Claude's Eleventh Field Battalion has become the only battle unit of the Blue Feather Regiment stationed in Amis City, whose duty, of course, is to protect the personal safety of the noble Prince Wedleck and, like that Battalion of the Jailguard Regiment, to remain in the barracks all day. The main reason is that the noble Second Prince is more concerned about his personal safety. He never goes out of his house, which is protected by the Battalion of the Guardianship Corps, saving everyone a lot of trouble.

It's all right, Claude goes out to the barracks once in a while. It's just that the city of Amis, though the fourth largest city in the Principality of Siddins besides the national capital, Fort Ivanos, and two seaport cities, has always been famous for its mountain production and distribution sites in the Odin Mountains, but after being occupied by the Kingdom, the market has become very depressed, let alone the market. In other words, most residents of the city are also closed and reluctant to go out. Unless you go to the temple to pray or buy food, local residents are rarely seen wandering around on the road.

Claude walked a long way to find a grocery store with its doors open, and he wanted to go inside and buy a few bottles of fruit wine and bring them back to the barracks with four noble brothers. As a result, the frightened owner shook his head vigorously, indicating that there was no alcohol to sell. Until Claude paid a silver taller first, and the owner looked around and found that there was nothing unusual going on outside, he picked up four bottles of unlabeled fruit wine from under the counter and handed it to Claude.

On his way back to the barracks, Claude found out why the owner was so nervous that a team of heavily armed men, led by two honorary lieutenants, were knocking door-to-door along the street and searching the house. Only in the past did I know that this is a tax collection team dedicated to Prince Widreck, who executes the Prince's orders to levy war taxes on the residents of All-Amis City. If you don't have the money, use the valuables of your home to compensate...

Generally speaking, it is normal in this era for the occupier to impose a war tax on the inhabitants of the occupied territories, the only difference being that Prince Widleck tripled the amount of this war tax and put the tax per household on every inhabitant, not even the newborn baby. Obviously, he was taking the opportunity to collect war taxes to make a fortune for himself...

Claude had no right to take care of it. He had to go back to camp quickly, blinded.

By the end of September, the preparations for the battle had been completed, and the two second-line regiments that had arrived from the rear had arrived at the frontline to enter their intended battlefield positions, whether the forces of the Kingdom of Ovieras or the Allied Coalition of Four, headed by the Principality of Sidins, had acquiesced in the battlefield in which the battle was taking place and were prepared to do their utmost to win.

It would be a shame to miss this opportunity to join the battle to determine the situation in the Principality and even in the eastern part of the continent.

Claude is fine. He often talks to Dr. Perente. For Dr. Perente, his days in Amis City are leisurely enough, he is not responsible for guarding the city or collecting taxes for the eleventh field camp. There are few wounded and sick during this time. Only two bad bastards can take care of them by eating and eating their stomachs and throwing up and down.

So two people who were fine often looked at the map of the Principality of Siddins and thought there, and Claude wondered why only one corps had been sent to support the Principality of Siddins, because the three principalities of Eskirin, Rimodra and Kanas had not yet been affected by the war, and with the strength of their country, from the time of the declaration of war until now, it was more than enough to form four corps.

There is also the Kingdom of Nasserli, which should have acted upon the news of the attack on the Principality of Siddins. It should be urgent to send one or two legions to support it. Why has there not been any news of the Kingdom of Nasserli sending legions to support the Principality of Siddines? The Standing Capacity of the Kingdom of Nasseri is four regiments. After the outbreak of the war, the conscription was announced to expand eight second-line regiments. At present, only three standing regiments are attacking the Red Dragon Regiment and the Lizard Regiment on the western front. They can draw two regiments to support the Principality of Siddins...

Things are always said to be bad spirits, and in the fussy speculation of two people, Dr. Claude and Dr. Perente, a network of heaven and earth is already covered in the heads of the Blue Feathers Corps and those two second-line corps on the front line. The staff of the Royal Ovieras Army again made the mistake of underestimating their enemies in formulating their strategic plans. In their hypothesis, a legion in the kingdom can defeat two or three legions of the enemy. Even those second-line legions, defeating the enemy's standing legions is natural.

And as long as the kingdom's army starts attacking, the enemy can only retreat desperately except in defense, until it is irrevocably compelled to fight a battlefield duel, and then, after being defeated by the kingdom's heroic and invincible army, beg for a truce and a demand for peace from the kingdom. So in the minds of these staff officers, all they have to do is make a plan to keep attacking. No one will ever think that the enemy will jump the wall and fight back...

No one could have expected that the anti-Olympic Alliance of Five had targeted the Blue Feathers Legion, and the Kingdom of Nasserli would have preferred to step back on the western line, deciding to eliminate the Blue Feathers Legion, which had penetrated into the Principality of Siddines, and to relieve this distress. They secretly redeployed two Standing Regiments from the Western Line and replaced them with three Second Line Regiments to defend against Red Dragon Regiment and Lizard Regiment attacks.

The two Standing Regiments were then quietly moved to the border of the Principality of Siddins and sneaked into the territory of the Principality of Siddins in preparation to enclose the Blue Feather Regiment and those two second-line regiments from the rear after the battle had begun, surrounding the hundreds of thousands of enemies. The Alliance of Five Against the Olympics has resolved to cut the claw of the Kingdom of Ovilas into the Principality of Siddins completely.

In fact, the Blue Feather Regiment and the two second-line regiments are facing more than 200,000 enemies, and the other three principalities are not sending one regiment to support the Principality of Siddins, but two regiments, hiding another behind the more than 200,000 known enemy forces facing the Blue Feather Regiment. There are also two Standing Legions of the Kingdom of Nasseri, on the side of which is a joint fleet of anti-Olympic alliances, escorting the two Legions to land in the seaport cities of the two already occupied Principality of Siddins, cutting off the Blue Feathers Legion's exit route to the two seaport cities…
