The Knight's Journey to the Empire

The second line of defense arranged by the Kingdom of Midburg has three defense centers: Eagle Castle in the west, Rodsaboye Fortress in the middle, and McLennan Castle Group in the east.

Due to strategic needs, the Kingdom of Essex has focused its military attack on Eagle Castle in the west of the Kingdom of Midburg since it broke through the southern defense line of the Kingdom of Midburg.

Because after breaking through Eagle Castle, the army of the Kingdom of Essex can go straight north and directly cut off the strategic road between the Kingdom of Midburg and the Principality of Glia - Cartel Wealth Avenue.

As a result, the Kingdom of Midburg became a trapped beast, and the fugitive nobles and refugees in the Kingdom of Midburg could no longer flee to the Principality of Glia.

Therefore, in this situation, the pressure on the McClellan Fort Group, the defense center in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Midland, is naturally much less.

But it is only relative. In fact, there are still tens of thousands of troops attacking it.

As of now, five of the dozen or so noble castles that make up the McLennan Castle Group have been captured by the army of the Kingdom of Essex.

I think the rest is just a matter of time.

However, with the McLennan Castle complex in the Netherlands County, the situation in Ganise County behind the Netherlands County would be much better.

In the present Ganise County, apart from the many escaped nobles and refugees, as well as highway robbers, the overall situation is relatively stable.

Unlike Cashel County, which is sandwiched between the two counties, a small group of Essex Kingdom troops have already flowed into the territory and started burning, killing, looting and spreading rumors.

[Note: The second defense center of the Kingdom of Midburg is not perfect.

The existence of three defense centers only blocked three main roads suitable for large-scale military invasion, but they could not take into account some small roads or secret passages.

Therefore, those small troops of the Kingdom of Essex entered the heartland of the Kingdom of Midburg through these small paths or secret passages, burning, killing, looting, and spreading all kinds of rumors.

The purpose, of course, is to undermine the morale and military spirit of the troops stationed in the three defensive centers, thereby gaining more advantages for the offensive of their own army. 】

So in this situation, the [Angliss Immigration Plan] hosted by Sauron is still running, and the three transport fleets are still continuously transporting people and supplies to the [Angliss].

Of course, the entire [Anglican Islands Immigration Plan] is kept very secretive for the majority of small nobles and ordinary people, and no news has been leaked out.

Apart from the royal family, the only ones who could have discovered this plan were one or two great noble forces in the neighboring territories.

Because of Sauron's usual caution and the various anti-detection measures he has arranged, it would be very difficult for other forces to obtain relevant intelligence unless important internal personnel defected or undercover agents tipped off.

However, even if some nobles got information related to the [Anglican Islands Immigration Plan], it would most likely be burned!

Because in this era of backward shipping, with limited vision and pattern, they would not be optimistic about the plan of fleeing to overseas islands to survive.

And compared to this, they might even feel that staying where they are and surrendering to the Kingdom of Essex might give them a greater chance of survival.

……

August 4878, 8 in the Knight Continent calendar, in the Kingdom of Midburg, at Rodsaboye Fortress.

Fort Rodsaboye is located at the junction between Carter County and Central County. It is one of the strategic points with dangerous terrain in the Kingdom of Midburg and is known as the "Gateway to the Open Plains."

Because once the Rodsaboye Fortress is breached, the vast plain behind it will no longer be defensible.

The capital of the Kingdom of Middeburg, the city of Schindler, will also be completely exposed to the brutal charge of the Knights of the Kingdom of Essex, and the enemy's Knights will be invincible and unstoppable.

Today, the Rodsaboye Fortress is ablaze with smoke and fire, deafening noise, corpses strewn all over the ground, and blood flowing everywhere.

This brutal war has already started for three days between the two sides.

For three days, the Kingdom of Essex continuously sent troops to launch round after round of fearless charges against the Rodsaboye Fortress, determined to capture the fortress at all costs.

The Kingdom of Midburg, relying on the excellent defense facilities in the fortress, struggled to resist wave after wave of attacks from the Kingdom of Essex and did not dare to slack off at all.

At this time, the Rodsaboye Fortress had turned into a sharp meat grinder, constantly devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides, and even the upper-level knights were not immune.

The total number of high-ranking knights who had died in the battle on both sides now exceeded the number on one hand, and was still increasing.

……

Currently, on the side of the Kingdom of Midburg, the main defending force is the kingdom's first standing army - the Central Guardian Army.

This legion is a private legion funded and built by His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Midburg at his own expense. Its soldiers are so elite and powerful that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first legion of the Kingdom of Midburg.

But at this moment, this powerful legion was sent to Rod Boyesa Fortress to participate in the defense mission, just to resist the offensive pace of the Kingdom of Essex for a while and buy more escape time for the royal nobles behind.

In addition, there were garrisons originally stationed in the Rodbojsa Fortress and peasant armies temporarily forcibly recruited from around the fortress.

As well as the defeated soldiers of the Red Flame Legion and the Wolf Warrior Legion who retreated from the middle defense line in the south (the commander of the Red Flame Legion, General MacArthur, and the Amiguel Priest were also among them).

So to sum up, the number of troops stationed by the Kingdom of Midburg in the Rodboyesa Fortress has reached the above.

Although the Kingdom of Essex has made the attack on Eagle Castle in the west the strategic focus, it does not mean that the attacks on the other two fronts are not important.

Therefore, in order to capture the Rodsaboye Fortress, the Kingdom of Essex also sent out twice as many offensive forces as the Kingdom of Midburg.

Moreover, His Majesty the King of Essex, Chris VI, moved his royal carriage to the front of the battlefield and personally sat in the central military tent, offering advice, awarding rewards in front of the battlefield, beating drums to cheer, and boosting morale.

These actions of Chris VI undoubtedly injected powerful impetus into the development of the war, pushing the war in a more intense and cruel direction.
