Macho Wars

Fortunately, although the Sapphire King was irritable, he at least understood that the military situation was extremely urgent, so he took two deep breaths, and then nodded to the old prime minister.

"come in."

"Report, emergency call."

"Read!"

The Sapphire King squeezed the word from his teeth, and the intelligence officer who entered the door glanced nervously at the old prime minister.Seeing the other party nodded silently, he picked up the telegram and read.

"The enemy forces captured Tarandir at 8 am on the 13th, and the commander, Lieutenant General Flamorgen, was martyred."

"Damn it! This Flamorgan is nothing short of success! He has 50,000 people in his hands, and he failed to last three days in the two defensive battles before and after. A pig will be used to command, maybe even Better than him! He thought he would be fine if he died? This king is going to cut the title of his house!"

Hearing this bad news, Sapphire King no longer suppressed the anger that was not in his heart, grabbed the colorful colored glass wine glass and threw it out.The frightened intelligence officer stood there shivering, for fear that His Majesty the King would rush up to vent his anger.

The old prime minister Amplice once again played his role as a stabilizer to calm the king down.

"Your Majesty calm down. I think Earl Flamorgen should do his best. For the sake of his own sacrifice for the country, your Majesty, please open the net."

"Secretary Amplice, I feel so helpless! If General Vladimir was still there, our situation would definitely not be so embarrassing now."

"Your Majesty, I am sorry for the veteran. With the current situation, even if General Vladimir is still alive, I am afraid that there will be no good way. Our armament level is too low, the empire is too much, and the soldiers are brave and fleshy. The body can't stop the steel."

Speaking of his own armaments, Sapphire King has a deep sense of powerlessness called "Sorrow for a Small Country" in his heart.

Suffering from its weak industrial strength, the Principality of Sapphire can produce few types of weapons, and most of its heavy ordnance must be purchased from abroad.

In this process, they often have to face many problems. Making things difficult and raising prices is second. There are many advanced weapons that they are greedy, and the big countries will not sell them at all.

Originally, the Sapphire King planned to use the resources obtained from the occupied area to vigorously promote the development of his country's industry after he annexed Tarrance.

But those damn Tarrans people were neither willing to be dogs honestly nor to die obediently, which made the Sapphire King feel very embarrassed.

Now that the imperial army came to the door, the army in the occupied area was almost unable to parry. The Sapphire King watched the lost city and lost ground, but he was helpless.

"Oh! Now, we can only go to the Federation for help."

All countries in the entire God-given continent know that the country that hates the Sidney Empire most in the world is the Creek Federation.The grievances between the two countries have lasted for hundreds of years. As long as the Federation catches the opportunity, it will do something special without any hesitation.

The reason why the Federation people hate the empire so much is mainly because the empire carried out several ethnic cleansing back then.

More than 300 years ago, there were more than 30 ethnic groups in the empire, of which the Sidneys accounted for more than 70%.So a part of the excluded tribes united and tried to break away from the rule of the empire, but they were brutally suppressed.

There were a total of 13 ethnic groups participating in the independence movement. After their failure, the survivors fled abroad and settled in the western region where there are many different animals. Later, they gradually developed and formed the current Creek Federation.

The people of the Federation have always remembered the massacre and suppression that year.The empire also deliberately disgusted them, and held a celebration every year to celebrate the success of suppressing chaotic people. The effect was like adding fuel to the fire.

In view of the federation's hatred of the empire, the Sapphire King decided to write a letter of help, inviting the troops of the Creek Federation to come in to help.East Qin had better send someone to ask for it. Their shrewd and capable female regent would definitely not sit back and watch the empire stretch out its hands to the Far East.

So Sapphire quickly sent people to the ambassadors of the Federation and Dongqin in their home countries, and asked them to send their requests to their respective countries.

The federal ambassador naturally promised the most joyful thing. In fact, they originally had some "teaching teams" fighting side by side with the Principality Army, and they had already played against the Empire.

Ambassador Dongqin has to be relatively cautious. In the past year, they have reminded the Sapphire King more than once, asking them to be "decent" in the occupied area.

The various atrocities committed by the occupying forces against the Tarans have not only damaged the reputation of the Eastern Qin who once publicly supported them, but also caused a large number of refugees to influx into the Eastern Qin border, and the border map created by them is extremely stressful.

After the big guys on both sides notified, the Sapphire King gritted his teeth and once again mobilized the army from the homeland, dispatching more than 70,000 people from six divisions to support the occupied area.

Counting the days, it seems that September is about to enter, and winter in the Far East will enter almost mid-October, when there will be continuous heavy snow, and the temperature will drop below minus 30 degrees.

The soldiers of the Sapphire Principality have long adapted to such an environment. This is their hometown, and those empires from the warm south, the snow in the Far East will teach them what is really "cold"!

Chapter 281

From Silver Sand Beach to Tarandir, the independent regiment led by Dragon has won consecutive battles, and the empire's expeditionary force is like a broken bamboo, regaining a large area of ​​lost ground for Tarrance.

However, as the troops deepened inland, the front line became longer and longer, and the area of ​​control became larger and larger, and the coalition forces inevitably became a problem of troop tension.

Therefore, after the restoration of the capital of Talandil, the coalition forces decided to slow down the offensive and turn back to consolidate the rear.The most important thing is to repair the damaged railways and highways to ensure the smooth flow of logistics lines.

The independent regiment of Dragon, as the first unit to invade the palace of Talandil, the brigade rewarded them to rest in the city and sleep in a roofed house.

This city used to be the political and economic center of the Tarrans Kingdom, with a permanent population of more than one million. However, after the Principality’s army occupied it, it first looted and destroyed it, and then forced its citizens to move out within a time limit.

Now the whole city is ruined like a ghost domain, deserted and without a trace of life.

Unsure whether there are still remaining enemy soldiers hiding in the large number of vacant houses in the city, Dragon restricted the troops’ location to a few blocks around the palace.

This area was originally the noble area of ​​Tarandil, so most of the houses are villas, and there are many high-end hotels.Therefore, even if it is just an empty house, it is more comfortable to live in than a marching tent set up in the wild.

Dragon took a fancy to a six-story hotel, which was on a higher ground and could overlook most of the city, so he placed his regiment here.

After several battles, the independent regiment has now lost more than one-third of its staff, leaving less than two thousand people to continue fighting, and there is not much ammunition left.The conditions of the other two regiments of the Marine Brigade were similar, and it was no longer suitable for the offensive to continue until the soldiers and materials were supplemented.

Taking advantage of this rest period, Dragun asked the engineering troops to find a suitable place near Tarandir to build a field airport.Their current location is more than 300 kilometers from the sea.The air fleet took off from the Lexington and it took nearly an hour to get there.

After having tasted the sweetness of being free, the Marines are now a bit inseparable from the plane.And the problem that they later called for air support in case of unresolved problems was almost the "root of disease" that fell from this time.

The arrival of the air force has provided powerful help for the Marine Brigade to grasp the situation around Tarandir in real time.Two fighter planes alternately patrol in groups, and the movement of large-scale troops will never escape their eyes.

The aviation team soon discovered that the remnants of the enemy army that had been defeated in Tarandir were regrouped about forty kilometers northwest of the city, but the size of the army had been sharply reduced to less than 20,000.

These guys seemed to hesitate. They neither had the courage to counterattack nor dared to retreat without authorization. They just wandered blankly over there, and the Marines didn't bother to pay attention to them.

On the third day of the capital's recovery, Princess Karen returned to the city where she had been gone for more than a year.Seeing the familiar city and palace in his memory became so dilapidated, the corners of Karen's eyes could not help but flush.

Fortunately, although the Principality Army had done a lot of bad things, after all, they did not dare to risk the world's disgrace and attack the tomb of the Tarrans royal family.This allowed Karen to have a place to worship after he returned.

On the side of the government in exile, they sent people to find the body of the old king as soon as they entered the city.

When the capital city fell, the former Prince Tarrance led his own guard to launch a suicidal charge against the enemy who had entered the city, and finally died heroically on the battlefield.

However, the Principality Army did not find the old king's body from the pile of corpses on the battlefield after the war.

It turned out that after the death of the old king, several loyal guards around him desperately snatched his body from the enemy's guns, and found a hidden place in the city to hide the body so as not to fall into the enemy's hands and be humiliated.

Information about the location of the corpse was finally transferred to the government in exile after several rounds of information, which allowed the old king’s body to be buried.

When the old king was found, his body had almost become a skeleton. The left thigh bone and several ribs of the right chest had been broken. It was speculated that it was caused by a gunshot wound. The old king should have died of excessive blood loss.

When Karen saw his father's body, she finally couldn't control her emotions anymore and burst into tears.

According to the custom of the Tarrans royal family, after the death of each generation of kings, the remains must be cremated in the Hall of Valor. Through special treatment, the ashes are sintered into a colorful polyprism, and then these Valerian stones are sent to the royal family. tomb.

However, the Hall of Valor in the west of the city was destroyed by artillery fire in the siege that year, and the palace alchemist who was responsible for making Valorite was also missing.Therefore, even if the government-in-exile wants to bury the heroic old king, there is no way to follow the ancient tradition.

In desperation, the government in exile could only place the body of the old king in the palace, and then ask the empire for help, hoping to lend them a royal alchemist who understands this technique.
