Chapter 173 "Spring Awakening" Offensive—Launch! (One)
2 months later.
March 7, 290, the imperial calendar of the Britannia Empire.
20:43 p.m.
Southeastern part of the Empire, Kalannia, on the city wall.
The two strongest knights recognized by the Britannia Empire--Isel Hill, the leader of the Gabriel Knights and the unified knight, and Albert Ivan, the leader of the Raziel Knights and the Four Royal Knights Si, standing on the tall city wall of Kalania.
Iser is wearing white and red armor, a white cloak over his shoulders, and a red knight sword from the hilt to the gauntlet to the scabbard on his left waist.
Albert was wearing white and blue armor, and also a white cloak on his shoulders, with a blue knight sword on his left waist.
A gust of night wind blew in, and the cloaks of the two also fluttered, revealing the scarlet lining and dark blue lining of Issel and Albert's cloaks.
And both Iser and Albert ignored the cloak that was blown up by the night wind.
Both of them just stood quietly side by side on the tall city wall of Kalania, overlooking the star-like lights below.
At this time, a full 150,000 generals of the Rachel Knights were stationed inside and outside the city of Kalania.
Although Kalania is not a small city, it definitely cannot accommodate a full 150,000 troops.
Therefore, only a small part of the army is stationed in the city, and most of the troops are camped outside the city of Kalania.
Issel and Albert stood on the city wall overlooking the huge camp that stretched to the skyline outside the city.
It's still early for the rest time, so the camp at this time is very lively, countless lights dotted the dark land, overlooking from above, the lights of this large camp are like stars in the sky.
Issel, who was silently overlooking the barracks below with Albert, suddenly raised a hand and wiped it on the city wall.
Immediately my hands became wet.
The city walls are covered with snow water formed after the snow has melted away.
Iser looked at the wet hands and said faintly:
"The snow has melted..."
As soon as Issel's voice fell, Albert immediately answered:
"Yes, the snow has melted."
Speaking of this, Albert paused for a moment, then changed into a tone of excitement, and said:
"The 'Spring Awakening' offensive...has finally begun!"
"Ah, yes." A smile also appeared on Iser's face at this time, "The 'sixth large-scale attack on the south' that has been in preparation since the end of last year - the 'Spring Awakening' offensive, is finally going The day has officially begun."
While wiping off the snow on his hands with the cloak on his body, Iser said to Albert who was beside him in a somewhat smug tone:
"It seems that our 'battle to deceive the enemy' was very successful. Not only did we deceive the Luo Lin people, but we also deceived our own people."
Albert heard the words, laughed twice, and then said:
"This 'Battle of Deception' was really successful! Not only did the Luo Lin people think that our 'Spring Awakening' offensive was against the Frankish Empire, even most of our soldiers thought that the battle they participated in , to deal with the Frankish Empire!"
At the end of last year, after Gozevin authorized the launch of the "Spring Awakening" offensive, the huge machine of the Britannia Empire immediately began to operate efficiently.
First of all, according to the plan of Gozevin and his think tanks, they decided to make the "Spring Awakening" offensive a surprise attack, catching the Luo Lin Empire by surprise.
The most perfect surprise attack is to make the enemy unaware that you are about to attack him before the surprise attack!
Therefore, in order to be able to surprise the Luo Lin Empire perfectly, the Britannia Empire adopted a "battle of deceiving the enemy".
The "Spring Awakening" offensive was classified as top secret, except for a very small number of people, no one knew that the real goal of the "Spring Awakening" offensive was the Luo Lin Empire.
All the spies of all nations lurking in the Britannia Empire,
After a lot of thought and effort, I just learned that the Britannia Empire will launch a powerful offensive against the enemy country named "Spring Awakening" during this time period from March to April next year.
At the same time, the Britannia Empire continued to transport its luggage to Kalania, a strategic location in the southeast of the empire.
Kalania's geographical location is extremely important. If you go east, you can go to the eastern front of the empire, and if you go south, you can go to the southern front of the empire.
Kalania is like a transit point. Most of the luggage to be transported to the eastern front and the southern front will pass through Kalania.
The Britannia Empire continuously transported baggage to Kalania, and then transported the "baggage" through Kalania to the eastern front.
This move of the Britannia Empire successfully deceived everyone.
The spies of the Frankish Empire lurking around Kalania and the spies of the Rollin Empire, after seeing that all the luggage that arrived in Kalania were transported to the eastern front, thought that the Britannia Empire would come next. To use troops against the Frankish Empire.
Not to mention them, most of the knights and civil servants of the Britannia Empire, after seeing the movement of their own country, also thought that they would deal with the Frankish Empire next.
However, none of them expected that all the baggage transported to Kalania would not be transported to the Eastern Front!
After all the luggage arrived in Kalania, they were quickly transported to the "underground city" underground in Kalania, where all the luggage was taken out, sorted, and stored.
Then the specially made "fake baggage" made of mud and wood was handed over to the horse convoy and let them pull it to the eastern front.
In other words, in the past two months or so, all the "supplies" transported to the eastern front were all soil and wood.
And the real baggage that is enough for 150,000 troops to carry out a large-scale offensive is piled up in Kalania!
This move of the Britannia Empire can be said to be extremely beautiful, and it deceived everyone.
According to the information sent back by the spies lurking in the Rollin Empire, the high-level leaders of the Rollin Empire were successfully deceived, and they all mistakenly believed that the "Spring Awakening" offensive launched by the Britannia Empire in March was a To deal with the Frankish Empire.
Therefore, the top brass and the army of the Luo Lin Empire have relaxed at this time, and the counterattack against the Britannia Empire that was originally planned to start this spring has also been postponed.
The top brass of the Rollin Empire planned to wait until the Britannia Empire and the Frankish Empire were "fierce" before stepping in and launching a major counterattack against the Britannia Empire.
In fact, the strategy of "mantis catching cicadas, and orioles behind" formulated by the top management of Luo Lin Empire is not wrong from various perspectives, and it can even be regarded as perfect.
It's a pity that the perfect premise of this strategy is that the Britannia Empire's "Spring Awakening" offensive is really to deal with the Frankish Empire.
After receiving this information from the spies lurking in the Luo Lin Empire, those who were familiar with the details of the "Spring Awakening" offensive, including Iser and Albert, couldn't help laughing.
The current situation can be said to be good for the Britannia Empire! The Luo Lin Empire really thought that the "Spring Awakening" offensive of the Britannia Empire was to deal with the Frankish Empire, so they relaxed their guard!
