Chapter 86 86 Victory without celebration

"Your Majesty, you should lead 1 regiment back to Serris immediately! We have our troops in the south , should be enough to deal with the Saint Demon Emperor's counterattack." Wilkes suggested: "If their counterattack intensity is similar to what it is now."

"It is almost impossible, if the opponent still only mobilizes With such a small amount of troops, the commander has brain issues." Chris shook the head and said, "The most likely route the opponent chooses is to attack Serris directly from the direction of Higgs Kingdom."

"We can't base our victory on the premise that the opposing commander has brain issues. We have to be fully prepared. Only in this way can we ensure that we will not suffer in any direction!" Chris said here, looking towards Wei Kirks.

"The first six divisions we formed have entered Arrant, and the rear defense is only the teaching group and the 7th and 8th divisions... This is really dangerous." Wilkes looked at the map and said. Said: "So it is necessary for the 1st Division to return to Serris."

"Actually we have been south for so many days, the 9th and 10th divisions on Serris's side should have been formed. Their weapons should be It’s also very ready.” Chris counted the time and said to Wilkes: “I will lead the 1st division north, and then order the 10th division south to help you stabilize the defense line.”

“There is no need to send the troops south. , we also have General Waggon's 2nd Division as a reserve, and at least ten garrison regiments as reserves and reinforcements, which are capable of fighting." Wilkes shouted the head, at this time in the room The door was pushed open from the outside.

"Your Majesty! Cissy, the commander of the Prairie Empire, wants to ask to see you." An officer walked in and reported that the commander of the Prairie Cavalry had asked to see Chris: "They said they were going to return to the Prairie Empire, I want to see you before returning."

"Are they so eager to talk to us about compensation? I know they lost a lot this time, almost one-fifth of their troops. Killed by Dragon Knight..." Chris smiled wryly and shook his head.

"I think, as an ally, it's better for you to meet these cavalrymen from the grasslands. At least, we need to know how much they want." Wilkes persuaded Chris.

"Okay! I'll see them, let General Cisse come in, I'll wait for him here." Chris instructed a little helplessly.

Bourgeois walked out, and soon a middle-aged officer in traditional armor followed him in. He had the traditional hairstyle of the Prairie Empire, and below it was a full beard that was not neatly trimmed. .

He walked in front of Chris, then suddenly knelt down on one knee and bowed his head in the most noble greeting for a prairie: "Your Majesty, the great emperor of Alanhill! Your most loyal friend on the prairie, Cisse Salute to you!"

"..." The scene in front of him made him a little not knowing what to do, and it took Chris a long while to realize that the other party was showing his respect to him, and then he said: "General Cisse, please get up! I'm very happy to have your friendship."

He paused for a while, and after the other party got up, he continued: "But what you call me Seems wrong, I'm not the emperor of Alanhill, I'm just an archduke now."

"Your Majesty! I saw your victory with my own eyes, and there are still the corpses of giant horses in the wilderness. And the broken magic armor. If you can defeat the army of the Holy Demon Emperor, you are already the greatest monarch of the mortal empire!" Cisse explained to Chris after standing up.

He looked at Chris as if he was looking at his most admired idol: "I have completed my mission, and I will return to the grassland with my troops tomorrow. Every warrior on the grassland will remember it. Your greatness and generosity!"

"Your trade has changed the barren status of the grassland empire, so that we no longer need to rely on plundering to feed our children, so everyone on the grassland will It's your friend!" After saying this, Cisse nodded his greetings, and then respectfully exited Chris's room.

Chris looked at Wilkes next to him, shrugged his shoulders: "I thought he was coming to me for a commission."

"Over time, you will See how far-reaching the Maricha war has been." Wilkes said to Chris: "There will be countless people fighting for you, praying for you... It won't take long for you to get everything you thought you were. Everything I dare not think about."

"I hope so!" Chris felt that this matter could be used, and after thinking about it, he looked towards Bourgeois and said, "Since this battle will have With such a huge influence, we should use it."

"I announce that the city of Maricha has officially changed its name to Dragon City! This is a great city that has made countless giant dragons fall!" Chris said with a smile: "I want the whole world to know that there used to be a great army here, a mortal army that could defeat the magic army!"

Bourgeois felt his hair down All erected, his battles will go down in history because of this name change, and Dragon City will also become the "Holy Land" of mortals in mind because of the defeat of Magic Empire.

"The other thing is that starting from today, all offensive operations will be stopped, and the defense line should be shortened as much as possible. This is what all troops must do!" After Dragon City, continue to order.

Alanhill's troops heading south had used up a lot of ammunition, and many troops were waiting for supplies from the rear. And these supplies can only replenish their ammo consumption, and can't support Chris to expand the war again.

The shortcomings of logistical supplies have always existed, and the pressure of rear production is indeed a headache. With more and more new weapons, the output of ammunition is naturally greater.

With the popularity of revolvers, the demand for pistol cartridges is increasing, because of the intention to promote submachine guns, the production of pistol cartridges has been expanding, which also takes up a lot of raw materials.

At the same time, the production quantity of rifles has also increased. The number of troops to be equipped with Mauser 98K rifles is ten times that of the previous ones. Almost all infantry regiments need Mauser 98K rifles, and the training consumption is reduced. The weapons also need to be replenished.

The new weapons were even exported. About 1,000 Mauser rifles, which were replaced by training wear and tear, were exported to the Prairie Empire. The cattle and sheep in exchange for these new weapons have allowed Alanhill's meat cannery to start producing its own canned beef and mutton at full speed again.

Supporting an army of 200,000 or more is not an easy job, and the supply of weapons and equipment is a very meticulous job. No matter what the weapon is now, it is very important to Alanhill soldiers.

Machine gun carriage Every unit is in urgent need, and the weapons produced are basically distributed to the newly formed units in situ. Although the production line of machine guns has expanded its production capacity after expansion, this weapon is still in short supply.

As the number of machine guns and rifles proliferated, the supply of ammunition went wrong. Dozens of bullet factories are now producing around the clock, still unable to meet the front-line consumption and training needs.

What is even more depressing is that with the continuous expansion of production, the supply of raw materials is also in short supply-because of the rapid construction of railways, the demand for steel is also constantly expanding, and now Alanhill The iron and steel production capacity has begun to be stretched again.

The reserves of raw material copper are infinitely close to zero. Even if the copper mines in the grassland empire and the earth fort are desperately supplied, they still cannot meet the needs of production. The synthetic rubber side can only be barely maintained. There are too many types of raw materials required by industrial civilization, so that people always pay attention to one and the other.

This is also the victory of the war, which brings infinite benefits, otherwise Alanhill's economy will collapse on its own, and no one else needs to do it.

In addition, due to the limitation of transportation capacity, the materials in the rear are piled up like a mountain, but the materials in the front line have been insufficient. There is so much consumption on the road that people didn't know whether to cry or laugh, to transport a carriage of ammunition to the front line, and even have another carry of feed...

"Next time, our war We can't fight like this! We're going to open new factories in Naru, Dragon City, and Wallawa to increase production capacity...and lay more railroads to save transportation costs!" Chris said angrily After summarizing a few sentences, the summary meeting of such a victory ended.

On the same day, he left Dragon City with a regiment and returned to Serris. Without the excitement of defeating the Magic Empire, nor the joy of winning the war, I was so worried and embarked on the road home.

On the other side, three giant dragons landed outside a magnificent castle. Ildo Knight turned and jumped off the dragon's back, and walked quickly into the gate of the castle. On both sides of the huge wooden door, the guards looked strangely at Ildo, who had endured the hardships of a long journey.

Ildo ignored their gazes, and went straight to the gate of Archon Joseph Bakarov. He pushed open the huge room without tidying up his clothes. door.

"My lord! The frontline news that General Morse ordered me to send!" Ildo walked up to Joseph Bakarov, one-knee kneels, and held up General Morse's letter, Loud reporting.

"Why are you so embarrassed?" Putting the young dragon clinging on his arms to his feet, Joseph Bakarov stood up, walked to Ildo, and took it from his hand. After reading the letter, he glanced at Yilduo, who was covered in dust, and asked solemnly.

"Mortals have developed new weapons...My Dragon Knights have suffered heavy losses..." Ildo dared not hide, and started talking about his losses: "25 Dragon Knights, I only have 3 people were brought back."
