Chapter 276 Step by step! (Two in one! Please subscribe!)

  Looking at the hot air balloon floating in the air, Captain Jack only felt his thoughts surge.

  As he had previously expected, the Idars possessed much more than the magic spar bombs they provided.

  As his understanding of Idalling deepened, he became more and more grateful for the choice he made at the beginning!

  If you had refused the invitation of Lord Bruno...that would be miserable...

  The hot air balloon is a unique strategic weapon of the Idar Air Force, which provides the Idars with unparalleled air superiority.

  The hot air balloon of the Idar Air Force is not only responsible for the task of reconnaissance of the enemy, but also a channel for information communication between the Idar forces in the two places.

  Through the binoculars, Captain Jack can easily recognize the signal sent by the Idarman on the hot air balloon toward him-the ground troops led by Sam Layton have arrived at the Dell Hills on time!

   "Boys! Let's work!"

  When Captain Jack gave orders to his "pirates", the pirates who had been incorporated into the Idar Whale Hunting Company immediately took action.

  They are not procrastinated, and no longer lazy to hide their privates. They are different from the pirates when they were pirates.

  The thrilling experience of hunting and killing whales let the former pirates know what unity is, and let them understand the changes that can be brought about by prohibition and unity and cooperation.

  So, when the order was issued, the ships that were originally moored offshore began to dock one by one, and the employees of the whale hunting company began to transfer countless materials to the landing ground.

  Idar Whale Hunting Company will not directly participate in the battle, but their existence provides a more efficient and convenient supply plan for the Idar army-sea transportation.

  With the powerful **** of the three-masted warship led by Mar Cullen, it is impossible for any party to destroy the sea supply line of Idar.

  Besides...

  These things transported by Idar Whale Hunting Company are nothing but tons of bagged cement!

  In this upcoming war, the most feared opponent of Idar's army is undoubtedly the Odin cavalry that the Odin people are proud of.

  You should know that even though the army led by Idar has been equipped with the "Persuader Type I" magic submachine gun, but... this does not mean the demise and end of the cavalry era.

  In the last life, many people have been arguing about a question-is it the machine guns that will end the cavalry era, or the mechanized infantry that has gradually formed an organization?

  Although Idar has a magic rifle, the powerful maneuverability of the cavalry can still pose a great threat to Idar's army!

  Especially when the number of people is at a disadvantage, once the Odin cavalry launches an attack on the Idar army desperately, even if he possesses a mana rifle, the Idar collar will definitely suffer extremely heavy losses!

  Because of the inferior number of people, after all, it is there!

  Speaking of cavalry...don’t forget that even during World War II on earth, the cavalry divisions of the Soviet Red Army also posed a very serious threat to the enemy with their powerful off-road mobility!

Whether it is the 1st Cavalry Division of the Eagle's Ace Troops or the First Cavalry Division of the Frosty Bears, these divisions that have won countless victories in the long river of history have all relied on the unique mobility of the cavalry. Played an important role on the battlefield.

At least……

  As the number of Idar’s troops is inferior, and the "Persuader Type I" submachine guns are still difficult to form a tight crossfire net, Odin’s cavalry still poses a considerable threat to Idar’s army.

  Once the Odin cavalry breaks through the defense line built by the Idar army and encircles the Idar army, the consequences will be unpredictable!

  Not only will the Idar army led by Sam Layton be completely passive in this war, even Old Ford will have difficulty rectifying and restoring the social order in the area south of Dell Hills.

  If Odin’s army is reckless enough. They may even go all the way south regardless of everything, leading to the difficulty of launching a full-scale war in Idar, which was originally limited by the number of soldiers, and was forced to face the dilemma that the front was suddenly stretched.

  Under the protection of natural barriers such as the fast-flowing Sauron River and reserve soldiers in Idar's native land, this does not pose a threat to Idar's native land.

  However, this will definitely greatly affect Bruno's layout, and Idarling will face food shortages in the next year!

  So... In order to avoid the threat that Odin cavalry poses to Idar’s army as much as possible, and influence Bruno’s plan to encroach on the eastern part of the empire, under Bruno’s order, the Idars prepared two secret weapons for this purpose.

  The cement in front of you is one of them!

  Through cement, the Idars can build a strong fortress or a low stone wall poured from cement in the shortest possible time.

  Fortresses, trenches, low walls... the above are undoubtedly the nemesis of the Odin Cavalry!

  Even if the Odin cavalry can fight well, it will be difficult for them to face these defensive facilities that can be called the nemesis of the cavalry.

  According to the previously formulated war plan, the concrete fortresses and outposts will become the fire fulcrum of Idar’s artillery units.

The hot air balloon wandering in the sky will also observe the movements of the Odin cavalry at any time. Through the cooperation between the semaphore and the telescope, the Idar Cavalry and Griffon Knights who are on standby at any time in the rear can fully fill their seats in time. Odin's cavalry is blocking the north of Dale Hills!

  It is precisely by virtue of these that the Idars can have the confidence to break the Odin Empire!

  Of course, the consequences of fighting against a country composed of barbarian tribes like the Odin Empire are highly uncontrollable, because it is really difficult for you to judge what is going on in their heads.

  So when the war officially begins, Sam Layton still needs to adapt according to the actual situation.

   "Hurry up! Give me a little bit more speed!"

  Although the two parties were not under mutual control, it didn't take long for the Idar army to take a rest and reconciliation, under the leadership of Sam Layton, and merged with the ships of the Idar Whale Hunting Company.

  Thousands of soldiers will join the volunteers of the Idar production team who arrived with the ship to construct a temporary fortification from the Dell hills in the shortest time!

  At that time, the Idar army will use these temporary fortifications on the Dale hills as the core, step by step to reduce the pace of the Odin’s offensive, and then...

Hey-hey!

  Why did the Idar choose the battlefield in the Dell hills instead of the plains near the Eid River or some other place?

  Allowing the Idar army to have more time to build defensive facilities is only part of the reason, and the other most important factor is Bruno’s ambition for this war!

  Or in other words...what kind of strategic goal is to be achieved.

  War is not a simple sand table deduction, nor is it a simple turn-based game. The amount of food, money, and soldiers required is not just a number that jumps in front of the computer screen, so...

  How to fight this battle, and to what extent, Bruno needs to weigh these.

  The goal Bruno set for himself is to hurt the Odin people at all costs and make them realize that Idalling is not a boneless, but a transcendent existence!

  Only in this way can Idarling's prestige be completely erected, and Idarling's prestige can be won for a longer period of peace.

  The strength revealed by the leader of Idar in this war will not only be the traces of the whipping on the Odin, but will also become the edge that is shown to everyone.

  It can make the Norman Empire and the Kingdom of Basel dare not make the slightest move, so that the changes that occur in the Idaran can be smoothly carried out under Bruno's pressure!

  ……

  The fortifications on Dale Hill are under construction in full swing. Almost every day, new fortresses will appear on Dale Hill under the pouring of cement.

  Every day, Idar’s whale hunting company’s ships depart from the harbour in Merlin District with full load, and then berth and unload at the temporary port on the shore of Dell Hills.

  Through the close combination of sea and land transportation, a large amount of cement and construction materials were transported to the forefront of the war, and the solid fortresses also filled the hearts of the soldiers in Idar.

  Because of carrying a large number of heavy artillery at the same time, the artillery troops led by Idar finally arrived late one day later and successfully reached the Dell Hills.

  And as a gun was sent into the fortress and outpost, the construction of the Idar on the Dell hills was finally coming to an end...

one day……

  Two days...

When the time came to the third day, those menacing Odin, finally, under the eager anticipation of the soldiers of Idar, slowly crossed the Eid River, where the water is still flowing, and appeared in the sight of Idar’s army. Among.

  In the hot air balloon.

  Air Force Scouts use binoculars to observe the lineup of Odin’s army from a distance, and then pass the information they observe to the Idar army on the ground by means of semaphores.

This is an army of more than 10,000 people, led by the former Odin Marshal Portia Mariano, with more than 9,000 Odin infantry and a total of more than 4,000 Odin. Iron ride!

  In terms of the number of soldiers alone, it is more than four times that of Idar's army!

and……

  Except for the commander-in-chief of this army-former Odin Marshal Portia Mariano, this army is a gathering of famous generals! Luxurious lineup!

Edson O'Sullivan, the second cousin of Odin's monarch Alio O'Sullivan, and Mimoen Mariano, nephew of the former Odin Marshal Portia Mariano, who claimed to be a member of the royal family of Odin Mansa McGill, the former nobleman of the Norman Empire...

  Even if one of these people is selected at will, it is a brave warrior who can stand aside a hundred, let alone they are all together at this moment!

   "Marshal, something is wrong here!"

  At the side of the former Odin Marshal Portia Mariano, the deputy Edsson O’Sullivan said in a deep voice.

  Although Alio O’Sullivan had removed Portia’s marshal title before, it was to confuse the Norman nobles and enable Portia to launch a sneak attack through the Forest of Warcraft.

   Therefore, most of the time, the generals of the Odin Empire still regarded him as a marshal.

After all...Portia Mariano is a well-known general with decades of experience in commanding the army. He has survived three emperors of Odin and has not fallen. He has always been the O'Sullivan clan of the Odin Empire. Important supporter!

As for Edsson O'Sullivan...As a member of the Odin Empire, he and Raymond O'Sullivan, who had previously "died bizarrely" in the eastern part of the empire, are brothers and sisters, so this time he also took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the lieutenant. , I want to come here to pay for my cousin.

only……

  Since I crossed the Eide River, the place in front of me has revealed evil everywhere.

  Although he couldn't tell what the situation was, he always felt that someone was peering at him from a distance, but...whenever he sent a sentry to search for a trace, he always found nothing.

   And now, when he once again felt the feeling of being watched, he finally had a discovery!

  But...what the **** is that thing floating in the sky? !

  That's right!

  Like Raymond O'Sullivan at the time, the Odin generals present all noticed the sphere floating in mid-air.

   "There are people up there."

  Portia Mariano nodded, agreeing with Edsson O’Sullivan’s remarks.

  As a experienced veteran, his instincts are much sharper than Edsson, so the battle-tested marshal is almost certain that someone is on the ball!

  And this also means...the movement of the Odin people has been under the eyes of the enemy...

   Thinking of the Odin cavalry led by his brother Raymond O’Sullivan disappearing out of thin air in the eastern part of the empire, Edsson O’Sullivan’s heart was suddenly full of tension, and he asked cautiously:

   "Marshal, shall we continue to move forward?"

"You want to retreat without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, Edsson, you are scared by those fat-eared nobles of the Norman Empire!" A general beside him was yin and yang strange. Ridiculed.

  This person is Monletto Nanogara, who is also a general of Odin, but Edsson and Edsson have always looked down upon each other.

"Hahaha!"

  Although most of the generals still had serious faces, there were still a few generals who couldn't help but burst into laughter.

  Most of these people are members of the large tribes of the Odin Empire. Although they are considered vassals of the O'Sullivan tribe, their power is also quite strong, almost equivalent to a king of different surnames...

  Before limited by the power of Alio O’Sullivan, he did not dare to speak out, but now...the imperial family's frustration in picking peaches made them jump again.

"All right!"

  The moment Portia Mariano uttered the sound, everyone present was quiet almost instantly.

"There are indeed some problems in the eastern part of the empire~lightnovelpub.net~ But... we have more than 13,000 Odin warriors behind us, to show your determination and will! We must use the blood of the enemy to wash away the previous Shame!"

   "Wow!"

   "Ohhhhhhhh——"

  Marshal Portia's words were not so passionate, but he had commanded the soldiers for decades almost instantly grabbed the sensitive nerve in Soldier Odin's heart!

  For a time, the Odin's pawns boiled over!

  It’s just...

  Although Marshal Portia always kept a confident smile like a sign on his face,... his heart was full of worries.

  Ignore the big ball floating in the sky for now,

  Unknown until now,

  He can’t even determine the true identity of the enemy!

  To be honest, this is the first time he has faced such an outrageous situation since he commanded the troops!

  　 Two-in-one, today it’s no longer.
