Extraordinary Sailing

"Fire!"

Commander Sirius, who was wearing a fiery red military uniform, swung down the sharp saber in his hand hoarsely.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

With the special approval of Aiwen, the Type 77 rifle and the Sol rifle made by Sirius were urgently installed in Silius.

Shoot the hot bullets from behind bunkers, trenches, rocks, sandbags, trees, etc., everything that can be used as a cover, and shoot crazily down the hillside.

This is the 120-kilometer-long Winterthur Mountains. It is also the natural dividing line between the Cyrus Empire and the Sark Empire.

Their strategic goal is to reach the Dome Palace of Santa Cruz, the capital of Cyrus, as quickly as possible before external intervention, and completely take down the "former sea power overlord" who has fallen from the altar for 30 years.

However, the Celius Empire still has an advantage as the defensive side.

Behind the infantry who fought bravely, the artillery fired the mountain artillery known as the "King of the Battlefield" and poured out their firepower wantonly towards the Sac Army who launched a group charge.

Rumble!

Terrifying thunder swept across the entire battlefield.

The smoke, dust, and flames from the explosions were mixed with hot shrapnel, and swept away in all directions like a whirlwind on the uneven mountain that was already covered with bullet craters.

The Sak army on the attacking side suddenly rolled over like a wave encountering a rock, crawled and spread away from the crater, but the piercing screams were splashed on them more and more intensively.

Of course, since the Sark Empire is clamoring for revenge, of course it will not be passively beaten.

"Counterattack, bomb!"

woo woo woo.

The small fast airship directly ignored the mountainous terrain, whistling and flying over the infantry, pouring a large number of bombs it carried onto Sirius' position.

at the same time.

A group of large "mechanical spiders" composed of bearings, gears, springs, cylinders, pistons, crank-connecting rods, etc., braved snow-white steam, jumped over their own infantry, and rushed towards Sirius' position.

The [High Pressure Steam Gun] installed on the vehicle launches rapid fire, and it will never lose to the Type 77 in terms of power or speed of fire.

Thirty years ago, the "Church of Dawn", which dominated the faith field of the Sark Empire, was far more enlightened than the "Primitive Sect of Eternal Fire", and the steam industry revolution was only a few years later than Tulip.

The number and creativity of their [steam masters], engineers, and related road superhumans cannot be underestimated.

The all-terrain [Gear Monster Mechanical Spider], which uses a large number of spherical gears, is extremely flexible in mountain combat, and it can be called flying like a vertical leap.

The second mover came first, easily leaving the infantry far behind.

But at this moment.

A shell precisely landed on the "Mechanical Spider" charging forward, turning this mechanical device full of agility but with almost zero armor value into a pile of scrap iron.

"Ha, well done, Trand!"

On the artillery position of Cyrus, the gunner who fired the cannon was not yet twenty years old, with wheat-blond hair, cornflower blue eyes, and a childish young man.

After being praised by the chief, she even blushed shyly like a little girl.

However, the artillery chief believed that after a few battles, this young man would definitely grow into an excellent artilleryman or even an officer.

The battlefield is the world's most brutal and efficient melting pot.

However.

Boom!

A bomb dropped from the airship overhead landed right next to the artillery position.

"Forehead"

The yellow-haired boy with great gunner talent let out a low cry.

But a piece of shrapnel hit his brow, and another black "eye" opened between the two blue eyes.

Without any suspense, he fell straight to the ground and died.

The artillery chief got up from the ground in embarrassment, and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva:

"Flak, shoot me that damn airship!"

This scene happened to be captured by the [Mind Network] above the head, and it was transmitted to a mysterious place shrouded in soft white light.

Inside the "cloud meeting room" that spans the entire material world is a spacious and solemn large stepped open-air venue.

A group of imposing men and women have completely filled the place.

Most of them wore military uniforms with sabers at their waists, and many even wore shining crowns.

Over the years, the [Spiritual Network], which has undergone several upgrades, has achieved full coverage of the entire material world, and has easily gathered the high-level members of the [Monarch's Shield] together.

"Your Majesty Garriott! Everyone here should be very clear that the war originated from a clumsy conspiracy directed by the [International League of Democracy].

According to the offensive and defensive alliance of [Monarch's Shield], I implore you to send aid to the Cyrus Empire and attack the Sark Empire that has been controlled by the "pro-democracy faction". "

Although Emperor Cyrus Aldrich I had been in charge for a long time and was also present here, it is clear that Teresa, the empress dowager who has ruled the empire for many years and has a large number of fans, has the final say on military affairs.

Aiwen and Liwena in military uniforms sat on the main seats in the conference room.

In this gradually expanding and escalating war, Aiwen did his part to serve as the commander-in-chief of the [Monarch's Shield] command, with Rivina as his deputy.

They led the Tulips to win the war of supremacy 30 years ago, completed the industrial revolution first, and successfully established the international currency system. Their prestige is too high, and there is no competitor in the alliance.

Facing Empress Dowager Teresa's request for help, before Aiwen could speak, a middle-aged king in the conference room had already stood up first, bowed to Aiwen:

"Your Majesty Garriott, we, the Kingdom of Atlanta, invite you to fight!

Our "Big Horn Cape" can attack the "St. Lawrence Territory" from land, sea and land, making Sark's New World garrison overwhelmed and unable to help the mainland. "

At the beginning [International League of Democracy] used the strategy of encircling the kingdom with principalities and marquises to take down the Kingdom of Atlan, which has pirate genes, in one fell swoop, and became famous in one battle!

The turbulent [public opinion is boiling], so that the high-level kingdom with extraordinary power had to go into exile overseas, curled up in the last colony "Cape of the Great Horn", lingering.

At any rate, there was a "Title Knight: Bloodthirsty Wild Hunt" who barely allowed them to keep this small foothold. At least... they could eat cod until they were full.

But.

listen!

woo woo woo.

The ancestors of Atlan were clearly crying.

Therefore, ever since Harald II took over the throne from his old father who had gone west cleanly after losing his country, he has been thinking about how to restore the legal system of the Atlan royal family all the time.

This war is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Maybe we can really use the power of the alliance to restore the Kingdom of Atlan!

At this moment, Bess, Chief of Intelligence of the Principality, came to Ivan and whispered a few words.

Alvin nodded:

"Come in."

The next moment, under the eyes of everyone who didn't know why, a voice sounded in the "cloud conference room":

"Dear citizens, our fathers were oppressed by kings and nobles back then, and it is because of their brave resistance that we have the democracy and freedom we have today.

But don't forget that the Palme d'Or is a country of immigrants, and there are thousands of our compatriots still living under the brutal rule of the feudal monarchy.

It's time to liberate this gloomy world and sweep the feudal monarchy into the dustbin of history.

We support the revenge cause of the Sark people. As the Prime Minister of the Federation, I declare that the Palme d'Or Federation declares war on Cyrus, and declares war on the evil [Monarch's Shield] country! "

Then the Lowland Republic and the Atlan Republic. They all sent out national broadcasts one after another.

The battle between the two empires had just begun, and the members of the [International League of Democracy] declared war on the evil [Monarch Shield] out of support for Sark's righteous revenge.

Snapped! Snapped!

Aiwen clapped his hands, scanned the audience majestically, and said solemnly:

"Everyone has heard the broadcast of the declaration of war, war is not what we want, but we have to fight!

Now let me announce the appointment, His Majesty Melwan IV of the Kingdom of Heimar will be the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Front of the Yuan Continent."

In this all-out war involving most of the major countries in the world, it is naturally divided into four major battlefields.

On the eastern front of the mainland, the Kingdom of Heimar will fight against a series of coalition forces of small countries that belong to the radiation area of ​​influence, led by the "anti-bones" three kingdoms: the Principality of Teramo, the Principality of Taiz, and the Principality of Hudaydah.

The source is the Western Front of the Continent, the Tulip Alliance, the Cyrus Empire and the Lowland Republic, and the Sark Empire.

Source Continental Northern Line, Tulip Alliance and Atlan Republic, Lowland Republic.

But these are not decisive major battlegrounds.

It is the overseas battlefield in the New World that determines the future and destiny of hundreds of millions of citizens of [Monarch's Shield] and [International League of Democracy] - the North-South battle between the most powerful Garriott Principality and the Palme d'Or Federation!
