I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Although the other party had already set out for about two days, they did not have the efficiency of mechanized transportation, and there was a high probability that they would not be able to block the other party in time.

Compared to the Seris Federation which was bearing the main force on the front line, the Tina Army behind enemy lines had already set off a large-scale riot throughout the kingdom.

Because the righteous offensive of the Seris Federation has reached Lalor and the royal capital, coupled with the powerful Tina Army, everyone has already sensed the future of a change of dynasty.

So now you either join in and become a part of it, or go against the trend and wait to be crushed. Those great nobles have already started to amass wealth crazily, preparing to make the last bit of money and run away.

There was even a border marquis who directly announced his separation from the Kingdom of Ovinia and all his forces joined Cabancia, but was refuted by the current uprising leader Tina, and the two sides entered a state of war.

While suppressing the capital of Ovinia, the Alos Army also dispatched two divisions to assist the Torines Army in opening up a channel to join forces with the Tina Army.

At this time, Ovinia III was overwhelmed and had basically lost control of most parts of the kingdom.

The pressures on both sides are completely different. The Tina army can rely on rural supplies and then sneak attack the supply lines of various territories of the Kingdom of Ovinia. After the battle, they will move their positions and never have direct contact with the kingdom’s army.

It's not that she can't win, it's just that it's more cost-effective to bully the baggage soldiers~ She also has a more important task, which is to spare no effort to spread the concept of the Seris political system so that the poor can know about it.

The main forces of Ovinia were all tied up on the front battlefield and could not move, and they had no way to deal with these scattered and scattered soldiers.

Moreover, as the kingdom's army became increasingly ineffective in suppressing the rebels, the scale of the riots spread rapidly. Even the Seris troops responsible for opening up the passage encountered almost no decent resistance throughout the entire process.

Instead, everywhere they passed surrendered one after another, and the great nobles who had received the news earlier all ran away, and no one thought of resisting at all.

Even the people in most cities cheered when they saw the national flag flying above the Seres army, and presented simple gifts they made themselves, such as wreaths or woven trinkets.

Soldiers are not allowed to accept valuables such as clothes, food and even metals, but the military police pretend not to see things like wreaths. This is the best example of the close relationship between the military and the people.

Finally, the two sides met near Nipalmo, which also meant that the Kingdom of Ovinia entered the final countdown.

After receiving the news that the Kingdom of Alesia had entered the battlefield in the capital, Media did not hesitate and directly declared that the two sides were in a state of war on the grounds that Alesia had illegally invaded its territory and caused casualties to the federal forces.

After receiving the official order from the Ministry of National Defense, the troops that had been on standby for a long time crossed the border and launched an attack on the territory of the Kingdom of Alesia.

However, Alessia had long been wary of this new neighbor and stationed heavy troops in important border cities, but the troops' attack did not achieve very good results.

Seris' current strategic goal is still the war of unification. It has not invested much energy in the Kingdom of Alesia, as long as it does not give the other party a chance to stir up trouble.

In just a short period of time, Ovinia III seemed to have fast-forwarded and looked older.

When he saw the letter presented by Bonwich about the mysterious disappearance of Pope Olgovich and the Saint of the Goddess Church, he didn't even feel angry.

Or maybe he had figured out why Olgovich had been staying in Bonwich and refused to move. He was afraid that he had been preparing to leave at any time.

Yeah, it's over.

Olgovich could still leave. After all, he was a member of the church. If he couldn't stay in the subcontinent, he could just return to the main continent.

But Olgovich could leave, but he couldn't.

As a king, he has the dignity and glory that belongs to a king, and his family will never allow him to become a coward who abandons his country and flees.

He couldn't knock on the guardian's door, Medea refused to communicate with him, and among the nobles under his command, only the queen's line remained by his side.

It seemed that everything was foreshadowing his final outcome.

Chapter 97 King III Happy Platform

When Seris's troops joined forces with Tina's army, everything was settled.

The supply of materials to the rear was completely cut off, and the great nobles were all in danger and panic, so there was naturally no way to suppress the news.

After learning that they were completely trapped and killed in the bombing of Lalor City and that there would be no reinforcements to relieve them, the morale of the Lalor defenders plummeted and even several small-scale military mutinies occurred.

As the Seris army used artillery to continuously drop letters of surrender into the city explaining the situation, mixed in with them were letters of surrender written by some soldiers' relatives.

In less than a week, the fortress of Lalor, which had been holding off the attack of the Seris army since its rise in Media, was disintegrated from within, and the city opened its gates and surrendered with a white flag.

The nobles of the queen's line committed suicide, fled under different names, and completely disappeared.

As for Ovinia III, his situation was even more miserable. Everyone had lost confidence in him, including his personal guards. He was tied up and escorted out of the capital by the residents of the royal capital.

Since then, the Kingdom of Ovinia was completely liberated and incorporated into the territory of the Seris Federation, and the rebellious Nizarjar did not cause any waves at all. Tina's workers and peasants army easily broke into the city and occupied it.

Except for the relatively backward weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness and will of Tina's army are no worse than those of the regular troops of Syris. The combat effectiveness of the veterans who have experienced the baptism of war is guaranteed.

And Medea also went to the old capital of Ovinia in person to meet Tina, in the presence of the people of the royal capital, generals at all levels, and officials of the Seris regime.

The two sides completed the transition of military command, and the Tina Army was officially incorporated into the Queen's command.

A month later, through the newly laid nationwide cable broadcasting, Queen Seris assured the general public that all the policies promised by Tina would be implemented and followed up normally.

And because spring ploughing has been delayed due to the war, the government will distribute grain seeds for free and open warehouses to distribute a uniform amount of relief grain to alleviate the current food shortage plight of most people.

At the same time, a week-long public trial was held in the old capital against King Ovinia III, the Queen, and a series of family members and descendants, and they were all sentenced to death.

As the hemp rope on the guillotine was cut, the guillotine at the highest point fell down cleanly, and the old king fell completely amid the cheers of the people.

At the same time, the country was reborn.

As the saint of the Holy Light Church, Mi Wei also came to the old capital with the Queen.

The church also existed in the territories newly incorporated into the kingdom, and they were in a panic and leaderless because of the disappearance of the Pope.

With the "help" of the local tyrant Tina Army, Mi Wei absorbed the verified believers into the Holy Light Church without much trouble.

As for the fanatical followers of the Goddess Cult... they had long been wiped out in several consecutive wars, and the remaining ones had no place to hide because of their badges of faith, so they were basically sent to accompany the Goddess.

Holy light is an element, a partner, not a god. Saving the world and people is the core concept of the Church of Holy Light.

As long as the final right of interpretation remains in the hands of the Queen, she will allow the expansion of the Church of Holy Light.

In addition to the medical soldiers in the military system, there are also a large number of treatment teams from the church who are sharing the work of treating Seris soldiers.

She has figured it out. This world is not her previous life after all. Combining the advantages of both sides in accordance with local conditions is the way to go in the future.

The unification of the country also allowed Seris to free up time to deal with the Kingdom of Alesia. The Kingdom of Alesia didn't understand what it had gotten itself into.

All Media wants to say to this kingdom that wants to take advantage of the situation is to die well.

He put the excuse into Medea's mouth, and the tens of thousands of Alesia Kingdom soldiers captured at the border were the evidence of his invasion.

Launching a counterattack in the name of the Queen, the iron fist of the "justice" army will surely fall on the heads of the feudal nobles.

I guess it was because they had been living in peace for too long, and they never imagined how big the scale of the peasant uprising would be.

The war conscripted able-bodied men into arms, and civilians who could no longer make a living in the countryside joined the Workers' and Peasants' Army. Even Medea was not sure about the total number of the Workers' and Peasants' Army, but estimated that there were millions of them.

This was equivalent to the entire country entering the second stage of war mobilization, that is, almost all young and middle-aged people of military age were in the army, and morale reached its peak because of the victory of the uprising.

Therefore, Media did not screen the workers and peasants' army for the time being, but instead transferred the original Seris regular army to the border area with Alesia to launch an aggressive counterattack.

However, the military's internal combat plan clearly stated "Plan for the Liberation of Alesia".

The Greengold Army Group launched a large-scale bombardment on the important military city of Alesia in the direction of Zarad for more than an hour, pouring nearly 10,000 artillery shells of various types.

When the vanguard troops surrounded them from three directions, the enemy was so surprised that they dropped their guns on the ground, raised their hands above their heads and ran out to surrender.

Some even hugged the thighs of the Seris soldiers and cried, saying that they had never done anything wrong in their lives, so why should they be struck by the god of thunder.

The Seres regular army was the spearhead of the breakthrough, and the workers and peasants' army was responsible for capturing and occupying, as well as ensuring the transportation of supplies and baggage.

It was also the first time that Seris had fought such a strong battle. The sufficient manpower allowed the mechanized division to break through quickly and without hesitation, and multiple arrows penetrated directly into the heart of the kingdom.

The army infantry divisions in the rear were responsible for consolidating the channels opened by the mechanized troops in the front, accepting prisoners from point to area, and persuading small and medium-sized territories to surrender.

The Kingdom of Alesia had never expected that the war situation would deteriorate so quickly.

The urgently mobilized army encountered Seris's regular army head-on on the way, and was basically defeated after a round of artillery bombardment.

Every time the mobilized troops had just completed their assembly, some had not even had time to set off before they were bombed and surrounded by the mechanized troops that advanced forward.

The surrender of troops across the country in an organized manner basically had no effect, making it seem as if the Kingdom of Alesia had organized its own troops and handed them over to Seris prisoners.

Even if you are lucky enough not to encounter the mechanized troops plowing the fields, you will be held back by the infantry divisions of the Workers' and Peasants' Army. When other brother troops catch up, they will be quickly defeated by the two sides' attacks from both sides.

Although the equipment of the Workers' and Peasants' Army was not as good as that of the Serbian regular army, the slower-moving tracked self-propelled howitzers were allocated to them, and their heavy firepower was not much worse than that of the regular army.

However, the muddy roads within the kingdom posed a great obstacle to the kingdom's own military mobilization. Vehicles and horses could not be mobilized quickly, and soldiers basically had to rely on their feet throughout the journey.

And by launching a three-pronged attack of holding public trials, opening warehouses to distribute grain and land, and organizing peasant associations wherever the workers and peasants' army went, the kingdom's grassroots ruling institutions would be completely disintegrated.

Once the territory is lost, it is really lost. Having lost the grassroots people, they cannot even form any large-scale resistance.

They didn't even have time to negotiate peace with Seris as most of their territory had already fallen.

Less than two months after the war began, the country was inexplicably on the brink of destruction.

Chapter 98: Playing a balanced strategy? Are you qualified?

"Oh!"

"Clap"

Inside the Council Chamber of the Palace of Otesila

King Dast of Alesia angrily threw the gilded cup in his hand towards the ministers below the stage, and everyone was terrified.

"Zarad and Khatika, the two fortresses together have more than 250,000 troops stationed there. With the river as the center, they can support each other. The city walls are high and well-defended, and there are plenty of artillery and muskets!"

"I won't talk about that, just talk about these 250,000 people. Those who deserve to die are 250,000 pigs! The federal army can't catch them all in half a month!"

"And you tell me that one side encountered the enemy and the city was destroyed on the same day, and the other side made a mistake in judgment and was surrounded when trying to rescue them, and the two sides combined didn't last more than a week?"

Dust's angry roar echoed in the conference room, and the room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

They had seen that the Ovinia Kingdom could hold out for so long, and thought that Seris was just as powerful as the Ovinia Kingdom. But when they faced each other, they realized that it was just an illusion...

"Goddess! Open your eyes and see what they are doing! Mobilize all your private soldiers."

"Immediately conscript all healthy civilians into the army. Even if it costs me my life, I must hold back the Seris army!"

Dust's eyes were red, and he said coldly, "Also, confiscate the Duke of Blanchard's house, demote the whole family to slavery, and confiscate their property."

"This is..."

Everyone looked at each other, and in the end no one spoke for this unfortunate guy, or perhaps they all had the same idea deep down in their hearts.

This damn guy bewitched the king into launching this inexplicable war and led them all into this ditch. He deserves to be punished for his own death.

The Kingdom of Alesia formed an alliance with Ovinia, and this strategy was promoted by Duke Blanchard.

He proposed a balancing strategy because Ovinia must remain divided and cannot reunite to continue posing a threat to Alesia.

They act as a third hand to balance the military power between the two countries, causing continuous bleeding on both sides.
