Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

The fact that Ursus used troops on the Sakaz frontier was never a secret.

The opponent came with great fanfare to publicize the moment of victory.

Of course, the first place where this battle report appeared was in the hands of the commander of the Fifth Army Corps who was guarding the border with Ursus.

This was also the reason for his frown.

Faced with the massive invasion of the Fourth Army, he could not see the possibility of victory.

Perhaps if Tracy's army had not been dragged on the battlefield of Mecklenburg, the Royal Court could still devote all its strength to a defensive battle.

It's just that half of the current main force has been removed for no reason, and although the two legions on the other side are also elite troops of the Royal Court, after all, they are difficult to defeat with four hands, not to mention that it is impossible for one of the troops not to sit in the Royal Court. , that is to say, the Fifth Army may only have less than 10,000 reinforcements at most, but it has to face more than 30,000 Ursus elite troops.

Even... more likely, there weren't even any reinforcements.

What Ursus needs is a victory and a piece of land, and the royal court does not have enough military power to confront Ursus.

If the fourth and seventh legions choose to clear the country, lose territory, stick to the high walls of the royal court and abandon the fifth legion at the front, then in the end these thousands of them will only become Ursus and Kaz. The victim of the game between the Royal Court of Dale.

To stand still is to sit back and wait for death, but he has no strength to fight. He is huddled in the fortress in frustration. This feeling of frustration made him almost break his teeth.

Now he just wanted to sneer when he thought about the promises Tracy made to himself before forming the military council.

Replenishment of personnel, increase in military expenditures, weapons and equipment - all are fake. If there were, they should have been there long ago - even now, as long as they had half of the equipment of the noble soldiers of the First Legion, the situation would not be so desperate.

People like myself are nothing more than chess pieces in the hands of big shots that can be discarded at any time.

With the current new style, if I tell my subordinates that I let them take the worn-out equipment that has been used for many years and fight Ursus' elite regular army with a disadvantaged number, it is actually the same as asking them to die directly.

By then, it’s really hard to say how many people are still willing to die.

【——Report! ]

The sudden voice interrupted Sakaz's thoughts, but he didn't feel much angry because he could tell that it was the voice of his deputy.

Due to the special and incomplete establishment, the Fifth Army has not had the position of deputy army commander for a long time, but his deputy has the appearance of a deputy army commander.

And he knew that unless it was important information, that person would generally not bother him casually.

【Come in. 】

There was no emotion in his faint voice, and his expression instantly turned indifferent. It was hard to imagine that he was still thinking about issues related to the life and death of the Legion just a second ago.

The person who came in was his deputy. The taciturn man just gave a respectful military salute, and then handed the report in his hand to the commander of the Sakaz Army.

（……Um? ) noticed that there were no gilded corners on the surface of the report, indicating that this report did not come directly from the royal family, but from a joint battle report of a certain legion or several legions.

(Wang Ting...isn't it...)

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, the commander with decades of military experience turned his back to prevent his deputy from seeing him. With slightly trembling hands, he turned over the military timepiece.

But the next second, his eyebrows relaxed slightly, and there was a hint of comfort in the corners of his eyes.

Because this military report is very simple, but it is like a shot in the arm, giving him a little comfort in his originally shaken heart, because——

"The Fourth Army will use all its resources and will arrive within two days. Please be prepared to hold on."

————Dividing line————

Ursus, Icefields, Fourth Army.

The silent army has been setting out for three days, and it will still take three days to reach the front line.

Their marching speed was not fast, and they did not have the surprise attack that a brazen invasion should have. The silent Ursus was like a giant bear in the ice field, stoic and patient.

Before tearing apart its powerful opponent, the giant bear can continuously replenish itself and accumulate strength until it can kill the opponent with a thunderous strike.

The commander of the Fourth Group Army is experienced in hundreds of battles and is resourceful.

Such a huge mobilization of military power requires an astronomical amount of supplies.

Therefore, from the beginning of mobilizing the army, he put all his focus on ensuring the supply line: he wanted to ensure that the enemy would be defeated in one battle.

——As for myself, there are no weaknesses or breakthroughs.

He is not in a hurry to fight, nor is he in a hurry for success. His fighting has always been like this - extremely steady, with almost no flaws except for direct confrontation.

Therefore, his tactics have always been to use force to defeat the enemy with great fanfare, proving that in the face of Ursus' military strength, all resistance is in vain and all cleverness is in vain.

Ordinary armies, faced with this kind of battle, would even collapse before fighting - this is exactly the strategy of"attacking the heart first".

Now, he was staring at the land in the distance where the battle was about to take place, with a sinister smile on his lips.

Kazdel... can you... resist it... or rather, how long can you resist?
