Chapter 393: Changes in the Battle Situation (Subscription Request)
On August 314, 8 of the New God Calendar, after occupying the entire territory of the Carolingian Kingdom, the Habus Empire did not stop its offensive, but continued to advance, advance, and advance again!

There are no railways here, but the Empire still prepared a batch of military trucks early on.

Since they can produce magic cars, after expanding the chassis, the birth of military magic trucks is of course inevitable.

With their transport capacity, the vanguard of the Imperial Legion marched forward to the eastern border of the Carolingian Kingdom.

That is, on the border line with the Bonaparte Empire.

Then, almost without stopping, they broke through the thin line of defense and entered the territory of the Bonaparte Empire.

On August 314, 8 of the New God Calendar, the vanguard army cleared the way with artillery fire, charged with infantry, and with the fierce firepower of heavy machine guns, they almost advanced unstoppably.

In the rear, the Empire continued to send legions, from the initial two, to three, four, five...

The number is increasing!
At this time, the disadvantages of the feudal empire and the chivalric system were fully demonstrated.

They are mobilizing too slowly!
From sending letters to gathering, from arriving to preparing, and heading to the battlefield...

These expenditures alone would take months to calculate, and even if the Bonaparte Empire was the overlord of the Old Continent, it could not change this reality.

It took the Habsburg Empire's army only five days to penetrate the Carolingian Kingdom, and it was even faster to enter the Bonaparte Empire.

As we advance forward, even if we encounter resistance, it will only be from local lords.

No matter how strong they are or how rich their foundation is, they are like ants in front of the imperial army and are vulnerable.

The target of the Imperial Legion was quite clear, and it was aimed directly at the capital of the Bonaparte Empire, the city of Lutetia.

The city of Lutetia was undoubtedly the power center of the Bonaparte Empire and the pinnacle of urban development under the feudal dynasty system.

It is also known as the "City of Flowers", "City of Romance", "City of Lights", etc. If we trace back to the past ten thousand years, we can see its glorious history.

However, they trembled in fear under the threat of the Imperial Legion.

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor of the Bonaparte Empire did not do nothing!

Plan 17 was disclosed at this time.

The Bonaparte Empire and the Habsburg Empire actually had a direct border, which was the province of Alsace in the south of the Carolingian Kingdom.

This place was actually first conquered by the Habusids when the Habusid Empire was first established and was still called a kingdom.

Unfortunately, at that time, Hohenzollern III had just started the war of unification and was not strong enough.
Although they occupied the province of Alsace first, it was soon taken away by the Bonaparte Empire.

The two empires and the two royal families actually had grudges and conflicts a long time ago!
However, on the border here, both sides were wary of each other and built countless defensive buildings, countless bunkers and trenches, and stationed countless troops.

The two sides were in a standoff, and fighting broke out every now and then, ranging from a small attack of three or five people to a large fight involving hundreds of people. This was no longer news.

It’s something that happens every day!
Plan 17 of the Bonaparte Empire was actually to quietly gather troops here, and then push forward in one go and enter the territory of the Habsburg Empire.

The commander of this war was the Grand Duke of Carlisle, who was known for his cruelty.

The unusual mobilization of the Bonaparte Empire Legion was actually for this purpose.

However, after the Imperial Army killed their way through the Carolingian Kingdom, Plan 17 became a joke.

In fact, you can't say that the military of the Bonaparte Empire is useless, but they didn't expect that the Carolingian Kingdom was so vulnerable.

Five days, just five days, and it’s gone!
The empire also lost a Flying Wolf Knight Order.

Before this happened, no one would believe it if you told them.

The result was that the Bonaparte Empire did not have enough time to mobilize its troops.

However, it is not true to say that this "Plan 17" has no effect at all!

Because the plan itself requires the support of strong people, although the mobilization of the Knights was a bit slow, a group of fourth-level natural disaster strongmen gathered in the city of Lutetia.

And these strong men were sent to the battlefield!
In a matter of life and death, rules and regulations no longer matter.

Since they cannot be stopped on the ground battlefield, they will send strong men to stir up natural disasters and slow down the advance of the Habsburg Empire Legion.

Of course, the Habsburg Empire was also not without strong men, and the fighting between the two sides was extremely brutal and could be described as destroying the world.

The only thing that was still a concern was that although the legendary strong man was in confrontation, he did not end up in the battle.

But even so, it is not difficult to imagine how chaotic the Bonaparte Empire was!

However, the Bonaparte Empire also waited for his allies!

On August 314, 8 of the New Divine Calendar, the Slavic Empire finally took action.

Their two legions brazenly marched to the border and fought a fierce battle with the East Puru Province in the northeast of the Habsburg Empire and the Eighth Legion of the Empire stationed there.

The Slavic Empire had vast lands, but in the far north near the Old World, the climate was cold, there were not many fields that could grow crops, and even fewer people that could be fed.

Therefore, they are typical of areas with vast land and sparse population.

Although it is also a chivalric system, its mobilization speed is far inferior to that of the Bonaparte Empire.

It was also because of this that the two legions sent out this time were not fully staffed, and in the rush, the material preparations were not sufficient.

However, you have to admit that the Slavic Empire's brazen move shared the pressure of the Bonaparte Empire and gave them a break. After all, the Habsburg Empire was caught in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts!

At this point, the outcome is still unknown!

……

Early morning of August 314, 8th year of the New Divine Calendar.

In the study of Lion Manor, Loyi was dealing with complicated letters.

When war breaks out, the most important thing is always information. If you can get some of it in advance, you can gain the upper hand and be prepared.

Therefore, during this period of time, in addition to asking Ang to strengthen supervision over the city of Bruce, Roy also opened up various channels to obtain information from all aspects as quickly as possible.

He also reached an agreement with Grand Duchess Aphra and Marquis Freud the Elder to share information.

To put it simply, every morning, information from all aspects will be exchanged through the magic mirror.

As for Roy, he has enough channels within the Habsburg Empire.

He never missed any of Miller's letters, news from Roy Fitz Magic Group, the official newspapers of the empire, internal journals of the wizarding world, etc.

Even with Colonel Enzo Paxson of the Seventh Mixed Corps, Loy often exchanged letters and gave him many gifts, thus digging up a lot of useful information.

But apart from the Habsburg Empire, he was not well-informed about other news.

Because the Norman family had to guard against the Bonaparte Empire, they had the most spies stationed there.

As for the Freud family, they are related to some big figures in the Slavic Empire, so the information channels are also very convenient.

Sharing among the three also allows them to each grasp the latest changes in occupation.

However, there is so much information, some true and some false. It depends on your personal ability to find useful information from it.

In this regard, Luo Yi has a unique advantage. Deep Blue is best at processing these complex information and filtering and summarizing them.

Among the news of that day, there were two that Luo Yi cared about the most.

The first is the Empire's refinement of the magic gunner profession.

In the past, the only category was magic gunner, but now it has become a general term, and it is also divided into magic mechanics, riflemen, snipers, heavy machine gunners, artillerymen, drivers, etc.

Each job has its own things to do, and it would be inappropriate to replace them all with magic gunners, so subdivision is inevitable.

This also led to a resurgence of the knights!
In the Habsburg Empire, the knight class is almost extinct. Even if it still exists, it is a kind of honor rather than a class.

The previous training method of the magic gunner was mostly to use a rapier and a gun. He was agile and focused on dodging. He killed the enemy with guns at a distance, and directly stabbed the enemy with a sword if they were close.

But with the popularization of the Maxim heavy machine gun, once the trigger was pulled, the rate of fire soared to 600 rounds per minute.

At this time, dodging is a joke. Instead, in order to adapt to the weight of the heavy machine gun, those burly knights came in handy.

As long as they learn meditation and possess magic power, they can charge with heavy machine guns and kill everyone in their way, and naturally they will begin to be highly respected.

As a result, they came into conflict with the original path of the magic gunner.

Don’t think this is a small matter. To put it in a broader sense, this is a dispute over the orthodoxy of Taoism, and it is very difficult to let go.

The second thing is related to East Purukha Province.

East Prussia, located in the northeast corner of the empire, may not look impressive, but it is actually the birthplace of the Hohenzollern family.

The largest number of nobles and imperial ministers came from here, and the relationships between them were even more complicated.

However, now that they are facing the invasion of the Slavic Legion, some people can no longer sit still.

They were worried that their interests would be damaged, so the Imperial Cabinet began to discuss whether to transfer troops from the Western Front to the Eastern Front.

But this matter clearly violates the formulated 'Schlieffen Plan' and is still under discussion at this stage.

What Roy cares about most, of course, is the news within the Habsburg Empire. He actually wants to see the Empire's attitude towards the Flower Territory from the changes in the Empire's policies.

It’s a pity that we didn’t gain much today.

Boom boom boom!
At this time, there was a knock on the door. After Mira Greenman opened the door, she said, "My Lord Earl, your guest is here."

"Then let him in."

After a moment, a young man in his twenties walked in.

He was tall and thin, with an ordinary appearance. Although he was wearing luxurious clothes, it was obvious from the color that he had been wearing them for a long time.
Just kept very clean.

However, his expression was very calm, and even when facing Luo Yi, he tried to make his posture as natural as possible.

Bowing slightly, he saluted and said, "Julius Martin, meet the great Count Raymond."

Luo Yi nodded, and with just one sentence, the little guy's expression changed.

"I reject your proposal!"
