Chapter 645: 651?
Chapter 645 651 The Battle Ends Open
In fact, the Duchy of Caltest was still a territory of the Kingdom of Lorenzo decades ago.
It was only after a later rebellion and the joint intervention of the Kingdom of Asgar and the Federation of Loen that the independent state of the Duchy of Caltest was recognized, but the Kingdom of Lorenzo was still the suzerain of the Duchy of Caltest in name.
However, the suzerain state of the Kingdom of Lorenzo has gradually weakened in recent years, so that the Duchy of Kartester does not look like a vassal state.
Now that Silabel, a hard-liner known as the Queen of Blood, has come to power, of course, she can't just use iron fists against the country. She also does not allow the status quo to maintain the status quo for the Duchy of Kartester.
Originally, if he did not attack the Kingdom of Asgar, Silabel planned to attack the Duchy of Caltest, so he would take back this territory in the name of the current duke's injustice.
But he didn't expect that after raking grass and beating rabbits, in the end, the Duchy of Kartester could not escape the fate of being destroyed.
After this war, no matter whether the Kingdom of Lorenzo wins or the Kingdom of Asgar, the Duchy of Kartester will cease to exist as an independent duchy.
"Your Majesty, according to reliable information, the natural disaster of Nantes in the Kingdom of Asgar has led about 60,000 people, disguised as caravans, and entered the Duchy of Caltest in batches." Lena replied in an orderly manner, perhaps as the Minister of the Interior. She is still a bit jerky, but as a combat staff officer and adjutant, she is familiar with it.
"Sure enough" Silabel sneered, and had long expected that the enemy would use these ghostly tricks: "How about that Archduke Kaltester?"
"As expected by His Majesty, he has already taken refuge in the Kingdom of Asgar." A trace of contempt flashed in Lena's eyes. For the so-called Grand Duke, she couldn't look down on the so-called Grand Duke. She was simply a pig's brain. I thought the Asgars would keep their promise and let him continue to be the archduke.
"Well, that's fine, it's justifiable to go back and kill him." Silabel was indifferent, as if killing a grand duke was like killing a chicken.
You must know that this Archduke Kartester is the monarch of an independent duchy!
Generally speaking, on the mainland, even in a national war, the monarch of the other side will not be killed, and at most it will be exiled or demoted to a lower-level noble.
Obviously, Silabel did not intend to abide by this unspoken rule this time. Anyway, she is already the Queen of Blood, and his reputation is also bad. Silabel doesn't care about the public opinion of other countries. Anyway, as long as she controls the Kingdom of Lorenzo, she It is the legitimate and righteous Her Majesty.
"Okay, it's time to plan the next step. Let the defenders of Fort Browning withdraw. By the way, let's release the news... It's said that they have been transferred to the front line." Silabel said lightly: "Go to the Grand Duke Protector and Marshal Santos is here."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lena agreed and exited the study.
Sirabel was left alone, still standing quietly by the window, facing the golden eyes, the whole person was inlaid with a layer of gold, and even the faint fluff around her cheeks could be seen clearly. Her eyes are very firm, and her back is straight. As a king, she must shoulder the responsibility of this kingdom.
By this time, she already had some understanding of why Archduke Mora didn't want to be king in the first place.
Because once sitting in this position, various things will inevitably interfere with her cultivation. She already feels that the recent cultivation progress has been much slower than before. If this continues, she will be at least two or three years later before she can be promoted to the natural disaster grade.
"Kings and natural disasters; power or strength?" Silabel thought silently: "It seems that a decision must be made as soon as possible, and there can only be one choice between power and strength!"
Looking at the city outside the window, shrouded in the rising sun, makes the whole Bixixi city look more vibrant.
"If my father is still there, what will I choose?" Silabel thought of Grand Duke Mora, and his mood became more complicated...
At the same time, on the border between the Duchy of Caltest and the Kingdom of Lorenzo, the army of the Kingdom of Asgar, disguised as a caravan, successfully entered the territory of the Kingdom of Lorenzo by bribing the border guards.
The caravan consisted of a thousand people, driving hundreds of huge and heavy carriages.
In these carriages, not only the ordnance they carry, but also the army of more than 2,000 people.
Such a caravan can covertly transport 3,000 people into the kingdom of Lorenzo.
In the past two days, more than 15 caravans have passed through the border. The Patrol Army of the Kingdom of Lorenzo didn't notice anything. They just asked for some bribes and let them all go. They didn't even ask to check the inside of the carriage. of goods.
In addition to letting the natural disaster of Nateste, who led the operation, secretly relieved, he also despised the Kingdom of Lorenzo even more, such a dignified kingdom, so slack!
And while it was at war with its neighbors, the country was utterly rotten and hopeless!
At this time, the natural disaster of Nantes remembered his homeland. He used to feel heartbroken and felt that the kingdom of Asgar was corrupt and depraved, almost to the point where there was no cure, but now it seems to be stronger than the kingdom of Lorenzo. Some.
If war is a worse activity than anyone else, then in his opinion, the Kingdom of Lorenzo seems to be a bit worse and more thorough.
This time, Asgar Kingdom still has a chance to win!
Nantest natural disaster is full of confidence, but they don't know that their movements have long been grasped by the Special Bureau and the Ministry of Military Intelligence of the Kingdom of Lorenzo.
If the previous kingdom of Lorenzo was really rotten, but after this blood moon coup d’etat, this ancient and decaying kingdom has been rejuvenated. Although it is still bad, it is better than the Kingdom of Asgar. At least the Special Bureau and the Ministry of Military Intelligence after Silabel's vigorous rectification have shown quite good mental outlook and work enthusiasm.
"Sir, there are a total of twenty targets, and fifteen of them have entered our country." In a small town near the border, Lieutenant General Kebaev, the deputy director of the Special Bureau, listened to the intelligence summary of his subordinates.
In the current special bureau, Silabel still serves as the chief director, but as the queen, she doesn't care much about specific things.
The daily affairs of the Special Bureau are represented by Deputy Director Kebaev.
Although Kebaev had some quarrels with Silabel when he was in the void world, at a critical time, Kebaev and his family chose to stand on the side of the royal family and Silabel, and finally used actual actions to obtain Silabel's trust.
In return, Kebaev was promoted to lieutenant general and gained a part of the real power of the special bureau.
I have to say that after some setbacks, Kebaev has matured a lot.
Especially when Silabel became the queen, and Green also showed the fighting ability of natural disaster grade, all his unrealistic ideas disappeared, and instead showed quite good ability.
"Very good, continue to monitor." Kbayev, dressed in a general's uniform, commanded solemnly: "Also confirm the enemy's assembly point and marching route as soon as possible."
"Yes! Sir." A lieutenant colonel from the special bureau stood at attention and quickly retreated.
At this time, Kerbaev was under a lot of pressure. Although the whole plan seemed to be impeccable, after all, using Her Majesty the Queen as bait, there must not be any errors in intelligence, otherwise he and the entire special bureau would not be able to afford it.
Thinking of the woman who suddenly became a queen and showed an iron fist, Kerbayev was completely convinced.
At the time of the Blood Moon coup, he had put himself in his shoes more than once and thought, if he were Silabel, would he have the guts to issue such a cruel order to kill millions in this situation?
In the end his own answer was no! He didn't have that kind of courage, didn't have that kind of responsibility, and didn't have that kind of courage... So at that moment, he was completely convinced, and since then he secretly made up his mind that only such a monarch is worthy of his allegiance to Kebayev.
At the same time, on the frontal battlefield.
When the army of the Kingdom of Asgar approached to a distance of five kilometers, the artillery positions behind the front line of the Kingdom of Lorenzo opened fire first.
With the sound of a boom, the enchanted cannons on the artillery positions fired one after another. More than 500 cannons were fired, and the sound of the cannons was mixed.
The enchanted cannonballs turned into fireballs, arcing in the air and hitting the army formation of the Kingdom of Asgar.
"Magic Defense!" Without an order, in the array of Asgar Kingdom, the magician who is responsible for defense has already opened the magic barrier.
Immediately, a semi-arc light shield thirty meters tall appeared in front of the army formation.
The enchanted shells from a distance hit the magic barrier, causing ripples, but they couldn't break through the magic barrier, and they smashed into discus and fell down.
This situation is just a routine before the war. One side fires the cannon and the other opens the magic barrier. At least most of the current enchanted cannons are not powerful enough to directly tear the defense of the magic barrier.
In this case, the purpose of shelling is actually more to consume the magic power reserves of the local magistrates.
Almost at the same time, the enchanted cannons in Asgar Kingdom also sounded, but because they were the attackers, they could not place the cannons too far forward, so only some ultra-long-range cannons could hit the enemy, which seemed to be more powerful than the artillery. Lenzo's side is much weaker.
But the Asgars were not to be outdone. Just after the shelling started, there was a rumbling sound from behind them, and three huge airships appeared in sight a moment later.
Those 200-meter-long behemoths stand against a magical defense barrier, and at least 30 gun muzzles of different calibers protrude below, and bombard the enemy's positions as soon as they enter the range.
And after the airship appeared on the battlefield, the hatches were opened on the left and right sides, and the densely packed gryphon knights flew out from the inside, holding the dragon hunting rifles with extended barrels in their hands, and they did not form a formation, and flew away directly. Rush to the position of the Kingdom of Lorenzo, intending to use air superiority to snipe the enemy's high-level targets.
