ACT013: Imperial Peacekeeping Forces
In order to hurry, Weiss and Ling Lan followed Virgil's advice and walked a path with excellent cover. As soon as the three of them came out of the end of the path, they bumped into an "armored force".
Weiss, who had been living in this world for 16 years, suddenly thought that he had traveled back to Earth, because the troops that appeared in front of him had a very complete range of armored vehicles, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and self-propelled artillery.
The soldiers' main weapon is not cold weapons such as big swords and spears, but rifles with magazines. Only those scouts wandering around are riding sabers like them. However, the backpacks with antennas on their backs and heads on their heads all show that their communication level is too much to be ahead of Nanfengzhou, which is still relying on "roaring".
"Damn! What's the origin of this unit?"
"The Fourth Division of the Southern Army of the Aaron Empire, my old opponent. Damn it, they actually fought!"
As the head coach of the border army, Virgil knew the emblem of all the main forces of the Aaron Empire, so he recognized the unit of the unit at a glance, but Weiss was extremely questioning about his "old opponent".
Putting aside the existence of chess pieces, which have a bug-like nature, just in terms of the military level of conventional troops, Virgil's troops and the armored troops in front of him are simply products from two eras. Virgil did not explain anything to him, because some things cannot be explained in just a few words, and the things involved are particularly complicated.
Geographically speaking, Nanfengzhou and Xiyanzhou basically belong to the same continental plate, but were divided into two halves from the middle by an Orlando River. At that time, Emperor Chen Long's Victor Empire occupied these two continents at the same time, and later the country was divided into four. The new Victor Empire occupied Nanfengzhou, while Xiyanzhou was divided by the Aaron Empire, the Clancy Federation, and the Langson Republic.
More than 100 years ago, the New Victor Empire also followed the footsteps of the old empire. While the Three Kingdoms on the other side of the river were celebrating each other, their eyes could not help but gathered on this fertile land. Unfortunately, although this cake is big, it has its own inconvenience if you want to eat it.
Among the three powerful countries in West Yanzhou, the Aaron Empire is undoubtedly the most advantageous geographical location and has a land similar to the "Armstrong gyro-accelerated jet-type Armstrong cannon". It not only has a protruding part that is severely "inserted" into the hinterland of the Clancy Federation, but also two eggs sit on the river bank, isolating the connection between the other two countries and the Nanfengzhou.
But the Republic and the Federation cannot sit idly by and watch the Aarons eat alone. In addition to frequently putting pressure on the border, pulling their hind legs and pulling their eggs, the two countries also go through sea transportation to directly provide military assistance to the three border countries in Nanfengzhou to help them consolidate their defense. Therefore, Virgil's troops can maintain a "old opponent" relationship with the Fourth Division, which is more than one generation ahead of them!
There are natural dangers and defensive fortress artillery assisted by the other two countries. The defenders only need to hold on to the river for 3 or 5 days, and the other two countries will intervene and force the empire to withdraw. Virgil's several "fame battles" were fought in this situation.
However, the help of these two countries is not sincere and unrequited. Not to mention that the backward and bulky defensive weapons they provide need to be exchanged for rare resources by small principalities. Those additional requirements that do not use intentional intentions will seriously affect the relationship between small countries and hinder their possibility of re-entering harmony.
Although the three powerful countries are opposite each other, one thing is consistent, that is, Nanfengzhou must not be unified again, and become the huge empire that they have feared and feared, maintain the current "weak" virtues, and wait for the Three Kingdoms to study the method of sharing well.
It is precisely this endless chaos that the fourteen countries of Nanfeng have wasted hundreds of years of development and have stopped moving forward in all fields. On the other hand, the three major countries in Xiyanzhou, whose relatively stable environment and the competitive pressure brought by the "Cold War" have allowed them to continue to grow and grow, and their strengths have always been in the same way.
Originally, this situation would last for a long time, but the civil war in the Duchy of White Deer gave the Empire a rare opportunity! The Imperial intelligence personnel first sent back the information of the civil war outbreak back to the country at the first time. Then, Sean Renault, the commander of the Fourth Division, saw through Virgil's suspicion, decisively launched a raid on the Sunset Fortress, and defeated it in one fell swoop. Before the other two countries could react, the Emperor rushed in under the banner of "peacekeeping".
The Imperial Crossing River Battle took place on the seventh day when Virgil sent troops to suppress the rebellion, the second day when his troops suffered heavy damage. The Imperial Division, stationed on the other side of the river, seized the opportunity and launched a raid on the Sunset Fortress with a rare fog.
The military thought this would be an arduous battle, but the second young master who stayed behind was a coward who was strong outside and was a coward. After the first round of cover and shelling, the fortress was not bad. However, he, the "Supreme Commander", was frightened and ignored the opposition of the staff, insisted on opening the door to surrender, which made the Emperor's soldiers who had just landed and ended the battle with surprise in front of the open city gate.
Is this a win? You are teasing me!
After occupying the Sunset Fortress, the Fourth Division, which kicked open the gate of Nanfengzhou, took three days to clear and take over all the fortifications along the river. After making all preparations for the follow-up troops, it began to move south. As a result, the vanguard armored troops drove out less than 60 kilometers and encountered Weis and others unexpectedly.
After the vanguard discovered three unidentified suspicious figures suddenly emerged from the roadside, not only did a small team of cavalry run over, but two tanks turned the muzzle toward this side. The cavalrymen who were leaning up stopped at a distance of 30 meters. One of the cavalry in the captain's uniform shouted in a strange tone that seemed to be familiar to Weiss.
"We are the peacekeeping force of the Aaron Empire. The people in front of us put down their weapons and dismounted for inspection."
Surrounded by the cavalry in the middle, Weiss pressed his hand towards Ling Lan, indicating that the other party should not act rashly. There will definitely be many chess piece owners following the troops of this size. Weiss does not think they will be as easy as Virgil's remaining soldiers. If there are masters of "counter-level" level, they will definitely be killed on the spot.
According to the other party's request, the three of them dismounted and threw all their weapons to the ground. The cavalry captain stepped forward and looked at the three of them carefully. When he saw that Virgil was still surrounded by a scarf, he couldn't help but frowned and ordered Virgil.
"Take off your turban, sir."
“I…I have leprosy…”
"Pick it off if you have leprosy, don't let me repeat it again." The cavalry captain was very determined. Virgil hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to take off the scarf. When the other party saw his true face, he was shocked and hurriedly grabbed the microphone of the communicator and reported in a hurry.
"Discover target number one, repeat, discover target number one!"
As soon as the captain said the words of the cavalry captain, the atmosphere at the scene became tense, and the convoy hurriedly sent a group of black-armored soldiers to reinforce. It is not difficult to see from his extremely agile skills that these should be the owners of the chess pieces of the Emperor**.
Weiss is not naive to think that this can be compensated by "perseverance" and "explosion". With just one call, the other party can have more than a dozen fools... fierce men come over, and Weiss... he doesn't even have a phone call!
The three people who gave up resistance were forced to wear handcuffs that specifically restricted the ability of the chess piece owner. Weiss tragically discovered that he seemed to have a very destined relationship with this thing recently. He put it on again after just one week of removal. The three people were taken on the armored vehicle and turned around to return to the fortress. Ling Lan wanted to speak several times on the road, but was interrupted by Weiss.
"Wright, we..."
"Shhh... don't speak out first, wait until you get off the car."
The few brothers in military uniforms sitting opposite them were always staring at the three of them with a "poker card" face. As long as Weis and Ling Lan were about to whisper, they would clench their fists twice, and the threat was self-evident.
To be honest, Weiss really didn't understand that he was the "king" and not the lucky E's "spikeman". He took the chess piece from the time he got it to the present. He was almost killed in the Principality of Baker, and then played hide-and-seek with the rebels in the Principality of White Deer. Finally, he was caught by the Emperor who crossed the river at the moment when he was about to succeed. He was almost at a slightest step by step, and he could finish it at any time.
Of course! Occasionally, Weiss would also comfort himself with the words "Heaven will give great responsibilities to this person", but considering the long-standing reputation of those guys in the Divine Realm, Weiss felt that any strange thing could fall from the sky, but this "big responsibilities"... that's not even a thought!
