Chapter 378 Trigger
Chapter 378 Trigger
Today, the border between Anjou and Capet is like a powder keg. After Capet's armored forces broke in to rescue people last time, both sides are basically in a state of ready to explode.
But in this situation, the top leaders on both sides retained some rationality, or were not prepared for a full-scale war.
Linde is destroying the last of the demons in the East and is clearing his coastline.
Alberto was filling the last loophole of the genetic warriors reported by Cassius.
But at this moment, the powder barrel was ignited.
For the first time, the genetic warriors demonstrated their power on the battlefield. Even though they were scattered in small groups, they were still able to share intelligence and complete their missions through the mental network.
When the captain of the genetic warriors stood on Capet's vanguard and looked at the raging fire burning in the fortress below his feet, he still couldn't believe what he had done.
Today's genetic warriors have a tighter mental network, better equipment, and small packs of explosives, making them even stronger than those in the old empire.
Not far away, the Angevin officers were stunned when they saw the raging fire burning on the Capet vanguard and the Angevin flag flying.
After all, the order from above is to maintain high pressure but not to start a war directly.
But now, the troops under his command have already captured the enemy's vanguard.
"My lord, let's fight!"
The soldiers below kept encouraging them.
"Our comrades have already captured the enemy's vanguard. Now we should go over and help build fortifications!"
"Yes, sir, the opportunity cannot be missed!"
Looking at his noisy subordinates, the officer sensed something was wrong.
"Have there been any guests in the barracks before?"
The officer's eyes were as sharp as knives as he scanned the soldiers present.
"Of course there are. Previously, a merchant from the demon tribe came to the military camp to help with supplies. Have you forgotten, sir?"
"What about that demon?"
"Sir, it's already this hour and you still care about what the demons are doing? Fight or not? Do you want to let the brothers who worked so hard to capture the vanguard die?"
Hearing this, the officer said angrily: "Don't I know? But those brothers are obviously being used! What's the point of taking down a vanguard first! They can take it back immediately after tanks are washed away. This completely disrupts your majesty's tactical layout! If we really go to rescue them, we will be in a passive position!"
But just as the officer finished speaking, a burst of sparks suddenly flashed in the distance. The officer knew very well that it was a musket, and the musket bullets produced in Anjou were flying towards his head.
Fortunately, the opponent's aim didn't seem to be very accurate, and the bullet only hit the officer's shoulder.
"Protect the officer!"
I don't know who shouted this sentence in the chaos.
But the officer covered his wound and shouted, "No! Track down the murderer and don't create chaos! Stay away from me, this wound is not fatal!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. The scene immediately became chaotic with the shout of "protection officer".
Many soldiers took the initiative to surround the officer.
The officer was breathing heavily and trying to push away the soldiers around him. It was obvious that someone wanted to kill him, and it was too easy to do something shady in such a dark situation.
Someone is deliberately provoking conflicts and trying to create confrontations. This must be reported to Your Majesty as soon as possible!
But at this moment, the officer felt a sharp blade piercing his chest.
The officer looked back at last and saw that it was his adjutant, a genetic warrior in the army who fanatically believed in the God of War, who stabbed him in the chaos and crowded crowd.
According to the current military system of Anjou, officers will not undergo genetic surgery, and those who do will be arranged as adjutants. The grassroots officers will be responsible for implementing specific strategies, while the adjutants who have undergone genetic surgery will be responsible for connecting the mental network and the connections between the various teams.
The adjutant quickly withdrew his hand and shouted loudly: "Oh no, the officer is injured! Officer? Sir!"
The officer tried to use his last bit of strength to point at the adjutant, but he only saw the hideous grin on the adjutant's face before he closed his eyes.
"What a pity! It seems the officer is beyond saving. According to wartime regulations, I will take over the command authority. Brothers, let us avenge our commander!"
A troop from the Angevin border took the initiative to capture Capet's vanguard. Afterwards, an adjutant who was a fanatical believer in the god of war posted a wrong message on the mental network, and the damn Capet started a war.
The entire border began to become restless, and false information began to spread in the mental network that Cassius had worked so hard to build.
And the war also began to spread in the real world.
Because the situation was too chaotic, Alberto's original arrangements were completely disrupted, but in desperation, Alberto had no choice but to declare war.
After all, even if Alberto did not declare war, the fighting had already started. Declaring war could at least save the last bit of face of King Alberto.
Although he declared war on Capet, Alberto turned his attention to the country. The Church of the God of War seemed to be moving.
However, the soldiers on the front line did not know what their king was thinking at the moment, they only knew that they had to fight.
The transformed soldiers were indeed very powerful. They knew when to advance and retreat, were brave and fearless, and were specialized in magic. When they faced Capet's soldiers, they even had a tendency to gain the upper hand.
Although Capet's tank fire was fierce, Anjou had been dealing with Capet's tanks for some time and it was impossible for them to be unprepared. In addition to digging trenches, various mines, improvised detonators, and anti-tank artillery were pushed onto the battlefield.
Although Capet had infantry assistance, it was no longer possible to advance quickly with tanks as smoothly as when the tanks first appeared.
And if we really talk about anti-tank, Anjou also has powerful weapons.
Those are the high-level professionals who have been waiting for a long time.
"It doesn't matter if it's a tank or not. It looks like nothing more than that."
A high-level spellcaster was changing the terrain of the battlefield, and the tanks soon fell into the quagmire created by the high-level spellcaster.
The enchantment on the tank is indeed quite annoying, but it is obvious that Anjou has already realized that to deal with a tank, you don’t have to deal with the tank itself directly. This iron turtle is indeed unyielding, but the land under its tracks and the infantry around it are not.
After being swept away by a large number of high-level professionals and the infantry nearby were cleared out and dragged into the quagmire, the tank's weakness, that it is essentially a somewhat bulky artillery-firing machine, was fully exposed.
"Cricket Iron Skin, nothing more than that."
"In that case, how about we compete to see who can hunt more iron monsters?"
Several high-level professionals were laughing on the battlefield. They did not seem to take this war seriously. Although there were some accidents in the middle, in the final analysis, the current battlefield still depends on who has more high-level professionals. Sure enough, high-level professionals are still the important figures in determining the direction of the war.
In comparison, Judith was much more troubled.
Although they have been training for a long time, these soldiers are, after all, reorganized from the formations on the southwest border, and many new recruits have also been added to the army. In the final analysis, they are definitely not as good as the veterans in the north.
Moreover, the enemy's soldiers were indeed strong enough, completely overturning Judith's understanding of the Angevin army.
Now the Governor's main force is still implementing the Iron Ring Plan. Although the southwestern border will not be overwhelmed, Judith still feels somewhat overwhelmed.
On the battlefield, Capet's soldiers were being wiped out by the high-level professionals who were crushing them. The battlefield situation was in chaos. The high-level professionals of Anjou did not regard this war as a war at all, but as their own hunting ground, playing with these recruits.
But at this moment, a small group of troops wearing huge armor joined the battlefield.
When Capet's soldiers saw this small group of troops, they felt as if they saw hope of escaping death: "Great, it's Knight Lars, we are saved!"
