Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

In the end, it was not all Sutton's troops that garrisoned Loman.

Instead, it is jointly participated by all the coalition countries.

It's not that the coalition forces were sure that Figxin was just threatening and would not really use the One Ring against other countries, so they dared to negotiate with her.

She fought a civil war with her own relatives to capture Sutton, and after taking it, she restricted her own power. In the eyes of other countries, this was simply the most ruthless person, and it was not surprising that she did anything.

The reason why the coalition forces jointly stationed in Loman was that Sutton did not have enough people, so they had to cooperate.

But it was a collaboration under Sutton's leadership.

The threat of bombing anyone who disobeyed finally made these countries, which were united in name only but had their own ulterior motives, agree to nothing and began to implement the Loman demilitarization operation according to a set of standards.

Sutton is not a militaristic country. On the contrary, after Figesin initiated the reform, it disbanded a lot of troops, and the number of them was even smaller than that of the old Sutton professional soldiers.

With the development of technology and magic, Sutton's officers have clearly realized that simply piling up numbers is not so useful in this era, and quality is required.

And Roman is a very militaristic country.

There are simply too many military outposts in their territory, and in recent decades of preparation for war, there is an even crazier policy: a country with a population of over 100 million and one of the largest populations in Felin, actually has compulsory military service for all citizens.

When men and women reach adulthood, they must join the army and undergo at least several months of training. Those who pass the training must serve for at least three years.

Likewise, those who have been discharged from the military are required to accept call-up back into the military if necessary.

This also meant that the Roman Empire had to fight. If it didn't fight other countries, it would not be able to support such a large army.

Half of the troops destroyed by the coalition forces were only in active service, and there were still tens of millions of people who could be quickly converted into soldiers.

This also made the emperor's decision to stop resisting seem even more suspicious. Drogo's statement about what Loman was planning was relayed by Figithin and was recognized by most countries.

Such an extreme approach also brings up an obvious problem.

The territory of Roman is full of military targets and must be dealt with one by one. All units above the town level must be temporarily controlled, and villages and above must be checked to prevent Roman people who have been thoroughly brainwashed from carrying out suicide attacks.

If we want to complete the demilitarization as quickly as possible, all countries can only cooperate and enter Loman from different directions.

Interestingly, the emperor who made Roman the capital seemed to have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the capital was right in the middle of Roman.

There were no settlements there originally; a city was simply created on empty land.

Creating wonders may be the hobby of every country in its heyday.

There is more than one wonder in the territory of Roman. Another super-large wonder is naturally the super-large magic circle covering the entire territory of Roman. It is the largest spell created by human power in the history of Felin.

Dismantling this spell is a huge project that requires the participation of wizard groups from multiple countries.

Under the leadership of the coalition's "boss" Figesin, the demilitarization of Roman is proceeding rapidly and efficiently. For a time, Roman was full of foreign troops.

……

Southern Loman, outside the city of Kronborg.

A well-equipped team is marching on a dirt road in the wild.

From the flags they carried, it could be seen that they were Sutton's team.

This is a fully mechanized team that walks on its own legs. Except for two armored dragons, the rest all ride in different types of vehicles.

Including the armored fighting vehicles that originally belonged to Loman.

In the process of demilitarizing the empire, the troops were disbanded, but all the equipment was left behind. After taking over a number of military factories, Sutton's researchers quickly conducted research and improvements on armored vehicles.

The existing stocks were all equipped to the various troops currently carrying out missions in Loman.

Although the ammunition standards used by the coalition forces could not be directly applied to Lohman's tanks.

But the good news is that Lohman also has an incredible amount of ammunition in stock.

So far, the exact amount of stock has not been found out and it is impossible to count it. When it comes to statistics, the unit used is no longer the number of rounds, but the number of tons.

It is unknown how long it will take to recycle metal.

In addition, the number of tanks was severely lost, but the ammunition reserves were not consumed too much, making the ratio between the two even more unbalanced.

The coalition forces, which were well-equipped but had always had insufficient logistical capacity, had never fought such a prosperous war.

Therefore, on the way to deep into the Roman Empire, if they encountered a small resistance force, they would line up the tanks and bombard a few of the base first.

The tactics are simple and brainless, but effective.

This was the only heavy weapon that was allowed to be used freely, and it immediately became popular among the soldiers.

The weapons developed by the Drogo Group are high-end, but the quantity is strictly limited and the ammunition supply is also tight.

Nothing like this.

Who can resist firing lots and lots of rounds at a target from a big, fat barrel?

The only drawback is that it's not comfortable to sit in. The Romans probably didn't consider comfort at all when developing it.

Out of their love for armored vehicles, the soldiers began to paint their favorite images on the vehicle bodies.

"I've already told you that there's something wrong with the proportions of your drawing."

On a moving tank, two young soldiers were arguing over a painting on the side armor of the vehicle, which had just been completed but the paint had not yet dried.

The content of the painting is a beautiful woman.

Refers to a beautiful woman whose main feature is size.

This is also the most popular image in the military, and is far ahead of other second-tier images such as the devil, dragon, eagle, etc.

The beauty painted on the car has a unique feature: she has pointed ears, which is also the core point of the dispute between the two warriors.

"She shouldn't, shouldn't be this big!"

As he spoke, he placed his hands on his chest and gestured.

"This is almost as heavy as two melons. Isn't it too heavy?"

"I'll do whatever I like. If you don't like it, you can draw it."

Many soldiers prefer to sit on the roof of the tank, which is not very comfortable, but more comfortable than inside the vehicle.

"But you drew an elf. Elves don't have this kind of body shape. Elves don't have much fat on their bodies."

"What if?"

"Have you ever seen a thin dwarf?"

"I don't care, it's all painted, can't I satisfy my hobby?"

"Simone, do you think what I said makes sense?" The speaker turned to ask another young man, "Didn't you study painting before? Isn't what he painted unreasonable?"

Simeone was obviously in a bad mood, with a look of discomfort on his face.

"well enough……"

He answered rather perfunctorily.

"See, Simone has good taste. I knew that this guy, who usually looks quiet and gentle, actually likes big girls. How about this, after the war, I'll pay you to draw a comic book for me with all the female characters being these elves."

Simeone didn't answer, just smiled awkwardly.

"What's wrong? Are you still upset? It's just one person, you've killed so few along the way."

"But it was just a kid."

What Simeone was referring to was that not long ago, the convoy encountered a mother and son standing on the side of the road.

He wanted to kindly ask if they needed help, and if they wanted to go somewhere, he could give them a ride.

As a member of Sutton's army, the ideological education he has always received is that the military and the people are like fish and water.

However, the woman pushed her child out and shouted "For the emperor".

When Simone noticed that the child running towards him had a Flame Alchemy Bottle tied to his body, his muscular memory, developed through long-term training, took action before his consciousness could react. He raised his gun, turned on the safety, and shot. The whole set of movements was smooth and fluent.

Fighting on the battlefield is not like playing games. In most cases, speed is more important than accuracy.

Aim first and then shoot?

No, fire a burst of bullets towards the dangerous direction first, the faster the better. No matter how accurate it is, it's fine as long as it's almost accurate. Under normal circumstances, you won't encounter an enemy who can remain calm and aim and fight back after being shot several times.

Just like that, by the time Simeone realized what he had just done, the mother and child in front of him had already burned into two fireballs.

He was praised by the monitor.

Quick response, skilled shooting, and crisis contact.

Very beautiful response.

But he felt very uncomfortable, not because he shot and killed a mother and her son. He knew very well that it was what he should do.

If he doesn't make the team and comrades, he may get hurt.

What makes Simeone upset is why things have developed to this point.

Before, on the front lines, we were fighting against at least professional armies and demons.

Once we entered the territory of Loman, the situation was different.

Most of the troops who had experienced the cruelty of war on the front lines chose to surrender quickly. Instead, many civilians carried out various attacks.

This attack did not cause any substantial harm to the team.

Whether it was equipment, tactics, or experience, the gap was too huge. By the time the team got here, only three people were injured and there were no deaths.

But almost every few steps along the way, there would be small groups of civilian suicide attacks.

The closer they got to the Roman capital, the more frequent these attacks became and the more extreme they became.

At the beginning, they were still soldiers after all, just those who had never been to the battlefield. Later, most of them were civilians, first men, and later many women also joined in.

But that's okay, we are adults after all.

Now children are starting to charge forward with Molotov cocktails tied to their bodies.

Simeone didn't dare to think about what they would encounter if they went further.

"What can a child understand? Those Romans actually used their own children as weapons. Just for, for the emperor?"

Simone said angrily.

He totally couldn't understand the strange fanaticism of the Romans.

"That's why we wanted to defeat the Roman Empire, and we did it."

"But we accepted the surrender of Emperor Roman. I think we shouldn't accept it. No, Roman can surrender, but the emperor can't. He has to be held responsible for all this."

"Ha, I also think that old guy shouldn't be alive, but this is the decision of those big shots, and we can't change it."

“That’s why it’s even more uncomfortable…”

Before Simone could finish his words, the chariot suddenly slowed down and he almost fell off the chariot.

"Arrived at the designated location."

A voice came from the front of the convoy.

Simone adjusted his hat and jumped out of the car. In the distance he could already see the outline of the city of Roman.

The mission of this team is simple. After arriving at the outskirts of the city of Roman, they will set up beacons to provide transmission guidance for the arrival of subsequent large forces.

He was not very clear about it. Since Roman had already surrendered, why would he need a large army? However, an order was an order.

As a technician in the team, he began to complete his work.

Although he studied painting before, he actually learned painting after studying science and magic failed.

His family conditions were relatively good, and he had received education before the education reform. He had learned not only literacy, but also mathematics, history, magic, etc.

Compared with professional scholars, he is not as good as them, but compared with my comrades who graduated from literacy classes, he is much more "learned".

When he joined the army, he immediately became a hot commodity and was mainly responsible for various simple technical issues.

While he was busy arranging the beacon modules, he suddenly found that his comrades had stopped moving and were all looking towards the direction of the Roman capital.

"What's wrong?" He also looked up and asked. As soon as he asked, he understood.

He saw the city of Roman in the distance, closing its shield.

What do you mean? Didn’t we agree to surrender?

Although Simone didn't know why the other party wanted to close the shield, he was actually expecting Emperor Roman to struggle so that they wouldn't be able to surrender.

That old guy must be held responsible for the tragic fate of the Roman civilians, and he can't just let it go.

"Can we attack the city now?"

Being the first team to attack the capital of Roman, it goes without saying that it is a great achievement.

Simoni didn't think that the remaining imperial troops were capable of resisting their attack.

If it could have been blocked, it would have been blocked earlier. Why wait until now?

However, before he received any new orders, he felt a strong sense of crisis.

From the distant capital of Roman, an extremely powerful and evil magical force suddenly came.

It was so powerful that he could feel it even from kilometers away.

That magic was unlike any form of magic he had ever come into contact with, and it didn't seem to come from a living organism.

What means of counterattack does the Roman Empire really have?
At this time, the squad leader's almost roaring command came.

"Activate the beacon! Quick! We need backup!"

---------

At this time, in the city of Roman.

A child in tattered clothes crawled out of the shack where he had been living for the past few days.

They, as a family, came here in response to the emperor's call. They firmly believed that the great emperor would save them and defeat the foreign enemies who invaded their homeland at any time.

When he saw the city's shield closing, he wanted to cheer with excitement.

The emperor really did not give up. Recently there have been rumors that the emperor was going to give up on them.

He never believed it, how could it be possible? The great emperor never gave up, and the closed shield was the most powerful proof.

Here is where the counterattack begins.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise coming from behind him.

Looking back, it was the Emperor's Guards!

He immediately knelt down, lowered his head, and could not look directly at the great emperor.

However, he couldn't help his curiosity. He had never seen the emperor since he could remember.

So he looked up.

His heart seemed to skip a beat as he met the Emperor's eyes.

What he didn't expect was that the emperor actually smiled at him.

He didn't know what gave him the courage, but he asked involuntarily, "Your Majesty, will you lead us to victory?"

"Of course," the emperor's smile was still warm, "you will be part of the victory." (End of this chapter)
