Chapter 388 Chapter 386: Far-reaching Impact (Additional Chapter 11)

In a sense, there is nothing much to say about the Battle of Antwerp, it was a pure crushing victory.

The ancient Carolingian Kingdom strictly abided by the rules among the nobles and did not allow strong men above level four to intervene in the war.

Of course, this is the wisest choice and also a protection for themselves.

Because, in terms of the number and quality of strong men, the Habsburg Empire could crush them into slag by sending out just a few of them.

Then, they gathered the largest number of knights, arranged several back-up plans that were enough to turn the tables, and put most of the power of the ancient kingdom on the gambling table.

You can't say they don't have determination and courage, and you can't underestimate their strength.
However, times have changed!

Facing the Imperial Legion that is similar to a version update, all their efforts, courage and glory are like a joke!
Without railways, it would take several days for the legions to march from the east to the west of the Carolingian Kingdom.

But what about this battle?

From the declaration of war on August 314, 8 of the New God Calendar to the occupation of the entire territory on August 4, it took only five days in total. The ancient kingdom was destroyed and came under the rule of the Habusid Empire.

When the news came out, the impact it caused to dozens of countries, many major forces and ancient nobles in the Old Continent can be imagined!

From a tactical point of view, this war is nothing to talk about, and it is not worth boasting about.

But the subsequent impact, both now and in the future, is extremely far-reaching, and has left a significant mark in the history of war.

In fact, due to the alternation of times and changes in values, there have been earth-shaking changes in evaluations.

Nowadays, almost all major forces and ancient nobles are studying the composition and tactics of the Imperial Magic Legion.

From the basic qualities of the legion soldiers to the weapons and equipment they are equipped with,
From the range and maintenance of the magic rifle to the rate of fire and coverage of the heavy machine gun,

From the range of magic cannons to the conditions for selecting artillerymen and the teaching materials for their training.

From the composition of the imperial legions to the style of the commanders, etc.

It can be said that this battle shocked countless nobles and kings.

The battle decades ago could only be regarded as the first appearance of magical weapons. Moreover, due to the blockade of the Bonaparte Empire and the intervention of high-end military forces, the situation was obscured and unclear.

However, today's battle was like a slap in everyone's face, telling them clearly that "pretending to sleep" would not work!

After this battle, countless ancient nobles, kings, and emperors began to re-examine the power and use of magical weapons.

Even more, countless nobles quietly changed their attitude towards the Habsburg Empire.

If there was absolute hostility before, now the attitude has become much more moderate. After all, they are also afraid!

They were afraid of becoming the second Carolingian Kingdom, so many nobles began to take the initiative to contact the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The most basic rules in the world, the struggles between countries, always follow the law of the jungle.

And a few years later, when magical weapons became the mainstream in the Old Continent, many things became recognized facts.

When even the most ordinary civilians knew that reading and writing were as important as basic meditation, a wave of criticism arose among historians in the Old World.

They no longer praised Albert I's bravery, but instead laughed at his ignorance and stupidity.

I don't know where he got the courage to use cold weapons against hot weapons?
They even had a new interpretation of the Battle of Antwerp, believing that it was a counterattack by the remnants of the old era and a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

It was not until hundreds of years later that historians looked back on this history, discarded all negative or radical emotions, and gave the most fair evaluation.

They believed that this was the beginning of the iteration of war weapons. The Habsburg Empire used a resounding victory to tell everyone that it was inevitable for hot weapons to replace cold weapons.

Since the beginning of the war, the superiority of the magic industry has also been known and recognized by the nobles of the Old Continent.

Whether they like it or not, and no matter what happens in the future, the spread of the magic industry has become inevitable from today on.

No matter who stands in the way, they will be crushed into dust under the trend of history.

Of course, all of this is far-reaching. Few people can have such a long-term vision. Most people only care about the trivialities in front of them.

……

Flower collar,
Brussels, Lion Manor, second floor, in the study.

Luo Yi sat upright at the desk, his posture straight and his expression serious. On his desk were documents one after another.

Among them is a detailed report of the Battle of Antwerp.

Using magic communication arrays for long-distance communication, when needed, the most accurate information can be transmitted to all parts of the Old Continent at the fastest speed.

There are also letters from the Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water.

After receiving Christina's message, this man finally had no choice but to go, but he still did not keep the appointment. Instead, he wrote a letter.

The words were extremely sincere, but the content was simple, which was to postpone the meeting time.

He had not received any accurate information from the empire, and did not know its attitude, so even if he met with Luo Yi, he could not agree to anything.

In other words, it’s useless to talk!
So, he would wait a little longer. Once he got the concrete news, he would go to Lion Manor to meet Luo Yi as soon as possible.

Only then will the talk be truly effective!

In addition, there were news from the city of Auckland, newspapers from the empire, letters from Grand Duchess Aphra and old Freud, and so on.

All spread out, the desk is full! As for the opposite side of the desk, sat the red dragon Virgil Berry. So far, it was this red dragon who kept talking.

Talking about the situation of the vegetarian Grand Duke Karen, his request to move, the shocking news he got after contacting those old guys, and the special nature of this war...

He was talking a lot and spitting all over the place, but in the end, he saw Luo Yi had a calm expression, which made him very unhappy!

"Hey, hey, hey, can you please give me some reaction?
This is information I collected from many channels, it is absolutely authentic, how can you be so calm? "

"So how do you want me to react?"

Luo Yi asked back: "Worried, uneasy, unable to accept, and in a state of panic all day long?"

"The problem is, no matter how worried I am, the war you mentioned is still going to happen. It has nothing to do with my will."

"You are quite open-minded, aren't you afraid of being affected?"

“Didn’t you see what I did?
Expanding the army, preparing for war, and stockpiling supplies, what are all these for?"

Luo Yi sighed: "It's all for self-protection! So that when trouble comes, we will have the strength to resist!"

“There are many things I can’t solve, but I have to seize the things I can decide.”

Red Dragon Virgil was stunned for a moment, then seemed to react: "So, you knew it a long time ago?"

“Of course I don’t know the information from the upper echelons you mentioned, and I don’t have the channels to do so.

But, it’s better to be prepared! "

"I am very afraid of death!"

Luo Yi said this, and then looked at the Red Dragon Virgil very seriously, and said: "But, you have to be honest with me, I need to know what kind of strength you are."

Red Dragon Virgil became alert: "Why are you asking about this?"

"At least it makes me feel more at ease. If I really encounter an enemy I can't match in the future, I can surrender faster."

"Haha, what do you think?"

"So I really guessed?"

"Would you like to guess?"

“Final Burning Dragon, I have checked the historical records. According to my assessment of you, ordinary legends should not be your opponent.

What about more than two legends?"

Red Dragon Virgil said proudly: "No matter how many legends come, we have nothing to fear!"

"What if it's a fifth-level demigod?"

"If you really offend a demigod, I can help you collect the body!"

Luo Yi nodded: "Even if a demigod comes, you can still escape unscathed. Got it."

The corner of Red Dragon Virgil's mouth twitched, and he seemed very annoyed. He asked, "Are you going to meet that guy Edward Cullen or not?"

"What's your advice to me?"

“Although they are a vampire clan, the Cullen family is a typical lawful clan. It must be true that they want to avoid disaster in the Dome Mountains!

He wants to see you, more to say hello to you, both sides have a tacit understanding, don't have any unnecessary conflicts. "

"I understand. This is also because of your respect! Otherwise, who would care about a mortal earl like me?"

"I'm glad to know. Yeah, you haven't told me yet, do you want to meet me?"

"Yes! Of course I have to! When is a suitable time for you? I will go to your golden house.

I am very curious about what kind of secret sacred skills he brought to me."

"Night then."

"it is good!"

Everything that needed to be discussed was settled, and the Red Dragon Virgil left. For him, if he didn't want anyone to find out, then no one would find out.

After seeing him off, Luo Yi returned to his seat, looked at the numerous documents on the desk, and fell into deep thought.

Until finally, he seemed to have thought of something, raised his hand, opened the drawer beside him, and took out another letter.

He opened it, took out the letter, and read it carefully for the third time, but he still read it very seriously.

Until finally, he circled a few words on it and drew circles around them.

"The Schlieffen Plan!"

This is the code name for the war launched by the Empire.

And this letter was naturally written to him by Baron Miller Petrovich.
