Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

a few days later.

The Georgian army preemptively launched a military operation before the punitive expedition could take action.

The Gelian Navy fired the first shot in the great war on the Western Luo Continent.

The Kingdom of Bigal, which was separated from the Kingdom of Gelian by the sea, was among the first to join the crusade and became the first small kingdom of Xiluo to be engulfed in war.

The Gelian Navy annihilated the main fleet of the Kingdom of Bigar in a single battle with overwhelming force.

On that day, under the cover of the Georgian navy, the Georgian army successfully landed on the northern shore of the Kingdom of Bigar.

At the same time, the Georgian army also crossed the border and launched an attack on the neighboring small kingdom of Aveli in the West.

Just five hours after the Georgian army fired the first shot in the Western Roman War, the Lanxi army also launched a proactive attack on the Prun army on the opposite side.

An hour after the Lanxi army launched its offensive, the Dunli forces responded—the Dunli army also took military action against the neighboring Kingdom of Mernva, which had joined the punitive expedition...

The punitive organization led by Prun immediately launched a counterattack, and the Western Roman War broke out in full force!

The fact that the Gelian people made the first move was indeed unexpected by the Pulun people.

Because, based on the past performance of the Gelian people, they would definitely try every means to avoid a head-on confrontation with the Puren people before the war.

Plun's top brass, including President Violet Algernon, were very certain that the Georgians, Dunleyans, and Lancyans would come to them to negotiate and offer a series of compromises to avoid the war.

The small kingdoms of Xiluo that joined the crusade thought the same way—they felt that with Prun backing them up, the more this was the case, the less likely the Gren, Dunli, and Lanxi would dare to take any extreme actions.

However, this time the extermination organization really misjudged the situation...

The Georgian people, who have always been the most unscrupulous bullies and cowards, became the ones who fired the first shot in the Battle of the Western Roman Empire.

Moreover, the once world's number one navy has become number two due to the existence of the Great Qian Navy.

But it must be said that the Gelian Navy is still the dominant force on the Western Luo Continent!

The fact that the Georgian navy annihilated the Bigar navy in World War I and successfully covered its own landing forces on the northern shore of Bigar is enough to prove the strength of the Georgian navy.

Moreover, the Georgian army also demonstrated very strong combat capabilities.

After a successful landing on the north bank of Bigar, the Georgian army quickly gained the upper hand in the face of fierce resistance from the Bigar forces.

Not only did they severely damage the well-equipped Bigal army, but they also drove the enemy back more than 300 li (approximately 150 kilometers) in one go.

On the other hand, the Lanxi army, which launched an offensive against the Puren army, also demonstrated the fighting power that a long-established military power should have.

The Lanxi army, having crossed the border, seized the initiative and broke through Prun's defenses in one fell swoop.

The fate of the Dunli army, which targeted the Kingdom of Mernva, was even less of a surprise.

The Dunli army, having entered the territory of the Kingdom of Merenwa, advanced triumphantly, as if entering an uninhabited land...

-------------------------------------

Limburg, the capital of Plen.

"Germania, Dunley, and Lancy are indeed long-established military powers in Western Europe."

"In a real fight, their combat strength is quite considerable."

"Although those small Western Luo countries have received equipment upgrades and assault training, their overall combat effectiveness is still significantly lower than that of the Georgian army, the Dunley army, and the Lanxi army."

"It seems our previous assessment and positioning of these small Western Roman countries was quite accurate—their main purpose was to serve as cannon fodder..."

"It's simply impossible to expect them to hold off the Greenmen, the Dunlimen, and the Lancimen."

President Violet Algernon and a group of senior Prun generals discussed the current battle situation around a huge war sand table.

“Gren, Dunley, and Lanxi have finally revealed their true colors.”

"They were the ones who used to talk about 'humanity' all the time."

"This time they couldn't keep up the act anymore—they used all those prohibited weapons right from the start."

"They threw out all sorts of biological and chemical warfare agents and air-fuel bombs at once."

"The Lanxi army broke through our defenses by using a large number of air-fuel bombs and biological and chemical warfare agents."

"They also launched a large number of Falcon missiles at us!"

Ironically, the technology for the Falcon missile was actually provided to them by us.

"Now, the Falcon missiles are being used against us by the Georgians, the Dunli, and the Lansei..."

Plunge's Defense Minister Whitehead Rodrik angrily stated, "We were the ones who suffered the most from the previous technology sharing!"

"Who can argue with that...?"

"However, there was no other way back then—we were forced into it by the people of Qian Kingdom."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be such an unprecedented united front between the Anti-Qian Alliance and the Western Luo Continent."

"On another note—I still don't understand how Shen Moshen of the Qian Kingdom managed to grow so powerful in Youzhou."

"It would be strange if someone could understand it!"

"Logically speaking, the people of Qian could never have risen to power so quickly..."

"Don't you even see what the Qian Kingdom has done to the entire Western Luo Continent since its rise to power...?"

"We thought our tactical thinking was already at the forefront of the world."

"I didn't expect that compared to the Great Qian Zhenguo Army—the gap is still quite obvious..."

"Now things are much better. The Gelian, Dunli, and Lanxi people are all learning from the fighting style of the Daqian Zhenguo Army."

"In addition, they also had the initiative in the war."

"It seems—this war is far more difficult to fight than we anticipated..."

"What? Just because the Green Alliance, the Dunli, and the Lanxi people got the first move, you've already lost your confidence?"

Listening to the complaints and reflections of the senior generals of Prun, Prun President Violet Algernon looked displeased.

“Of course not…” Plun Defense Minister Whitehead Rodrik then explained, “The Plun army remains the most powerful armed force on the entire Western Continent.”

"That's beyond doubt!"

"Therefore, we are absolutely confident that we will defeat our enemy!"

"Everyone was simply very surprised by the unexpected battlefield performance of the Grenadiers, Dunli, and Lanxi..."

"After all, it's always a bit intriguing when a group of people who always bully the weak and talk big suddenly show some decent fighting ability."

"Although the Gelian, Dunli and Lanxi people also learned a lot from the tactics and fighting methods of the Daqian Zhenguo Army in actual combat."

"But the army that has the deepest understanding of the tactics and methods of the Daqian Zhenguo Army is our Pulun Army!"

"Moreover, the fighting spirit and discipline of the Prun army are significantly higher than those of the Georgian army, the Dunley army, and the Lanxi army."

"Although due to previous policies of technology sharing and mutual assistance, there is basically no significant difference between our weapons and equipment and those of the Georgian, Dunli, and Lansi people."

"However, we have the advantage in terms of both tactics and overall military strength."

"And this advantage, when the weapons and equipment of both sides are at almost the same level, becomes the most crucial factor in determining the final outcome!"

"Therefore, the Prun army has the absolute confidence and ability to lead the expeditionary force to resolve the threats posed by the Gelian, Dunli, and Lanxi people!"

“That’s right!” President Violet Algernon of Prun nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this: “No matter what, maintaining unwavering confidence and a strong fighting spirit is essential.”

"As far as I know, the reason why the Greenians, the Dunli, and the Lanxi people have shown such strong combat capabilities is..."

"It's because their army is dominated by those who advocate war."

"These pro-war factions are a bunch of fanatical, arrogant, and warmongers."

"But in the current situation, these high-spirited warmongers are an indispensable advantage!"

"It was precisely because of their presence that our army unleashed unprecedented combat power on the battlefield..."

"However, on the other hand..."

Violet Algernon said seriously, "In any case, Glenn, Dunley, and Lanxi are all long-established military powers on the Western Luo Continent."

"From the moment we decided to reject their proposed 'four-nation plan,' we were already prepared for a tough battle."

"Conquering Glenn, Dunley, and Lansey will inevitably come at a price."

"What's more, these are three madmen who have already gone completely insane!"

"We all know—this is a war without rules."

Violet Algernon surveyed the crowd, her eyes burning with fervor: "No one cares about the process of this war as long as we can win the final victory."

"Only the victors have the right to write history!"

"The people of Pulun must stand tall atop Xiluo!"

"Just as the people of Qian Kingdom stand tall on the continent of Qianzhou, we will also turn the entire Xiluo into the land of Pulun."

"From now on, the Western Continent can only have one name, and that is—Prun!"

When Violet Algernon spoke of her vision, she could not contain her excitement: "We will create the greatest Prun ever made."

"Our descendants will be proud of our generation!"

"Your names will be forever remembered by all the people of Pulen..."

"But all of this is contingent on one thing: we must win this life-or-death battle that will determine the future of the entire Western Continent!"

"Currently, the Green Union, the Dunli, and the Lanxi are all operating at full capacity to produce various biological and chemical warfare agents and powerful air-fuel bombs."

"We certainly can't fall behind them!"

Violet Algernon emphasized: "To win this indiscriminate, unregulated war, we must be more ruthless than our opponents!"

"To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself."

"This point must be conveyed to every soldier and remembered!"

Violet Algernon pointed to the huge war sand table: "The Greenmen, the Dunli, and the Lanxi have already used up their three tricks."

"Now it's our turn!"

"I want to see the Georgian Navy's aircraft carrier sunk within a month!"

"I want to see our armored forces drive the Lanxi people back to their homeland............................"

"President, the Prun Navy has formulated a plan to hunt down an aircraft carrier."

Plunge's Defense Minister Whitehead Rodrik then reported to Violet Algernon: "Although our number of surface warships still cannot compare with that of the Georgian Navy."

"However, we have a huge advantage in the number of submarines."

"I believe that our massive submarine force will bring us unexpected results."

"Moreover, our latest submarines have already begun mass production."

"This new type of submarine has a significant improvement in performance compared to the older models."

"Therefore, we have not only a numerical advantage in submarines."

"Moreover, we will also have a huge advantage in quality!"

"At that time, our submarine force will not only be able to deal with the Georgian navy, which the Georgian are so proud of, but also directly threaten the maritime supply lines of the Georgian, Dunli and Lanxi people."

Clearly, Whitehead Rodrik is very optimistic about the new submarines that are already in mass production.

"The submarine wolf pack tactic has been proven in actual combat by the Daqian Navy."

"Therefore, while maintaining its numerical advantage in naval warships, the Qian Kingdom Navy has not relaxed its efforts in developing its submarine force."

"The Daqian Navy is also currently the only navy in the world that simultaneously possesses a large surface fleet and an equally large submarine force."

“By drawing on the model of the Daqian Navy and based on the actual situation of our Pulun Navy, focusing our development on submarines is the most effective strategy for overtaking others.”

Whitehead Rodrik stated confidently, "And the fact is—the Prun Navy already possesses the largest submarine force on the entire Western Continent!"
