Magic Industry Empire - 1090. Chapter 1090 Chapter 104

The commander-in-chief of the Candela Empire Expeditionary Army, Duke Macaros, looked down at the battle report in his hand. His dark skin was now full of black meaning because of his gloomy expression.

The atmosphere in the Chinese Army’s tent was as if time had frozen. Everyone held their breath, and even the sound of breathing did not dare to release it. For fear of attracting the attention of Duke Macaros, the volcano was triggered.

However… volcanoes are not something that you don’t want to cause and won’t erupt.

After a while, Duke Macaros put down the report, squinted his eyes and flicked across the faces of the other Candela Empire Expeditionary Army officers in the tent, seeing them all bowed their heads, and then let out a muffled grunt.

The other officers in the tent shivered involuntarily.

Among the military headquarters of the Candela Empire, with the exception of Grand Duke Campbell Sudirman, the Imperial Marshal, Duke Macaros has the highest status and the most prestigious.

This time the Imperial Military Department asked him to personally lead this expeditionary army to the Ruelson Kingdom, which undoubtedly represented the imperial military’s extreme importance on this expedition.

However, now the first step of the expedition, the Imperial Expeditionary Army was hit hard.

The Six Fronts, which were divided into six directions and advanced to the interior of the Ruelson Kingdom, all suffered extremely miserable failures within three days.

Among them, the St. Joan’s Army of the Fourth Front Army suffered the least loss. However, after being ambushed by the Ruelson Kingdom Army, more than four thousand soldiers died on the spot. The San Joan Legion, which had a strength of nearly 30,000, lost nearly half of its combat power at a time.

Among them, the most serious losses were the Golden Eagle Knights and the Red Sun Army under the name of the Third Army.

The direct death of the Golden Eagle Knights plus more than 10,000 soldiers who lost their combat effectiveness due to serious injuries were equal to half of them were directly abolished.

The Red Sun Legion’s losses were slightly weaker, with more than 7,000 soldiers killed, but not many seriously injured, only a mere less than 2,000, which proved the cruelty on the battlefield.

And by comparison, the losses in terms of manpower are not as powerful as the losses in terms of materials.

In the fierce battle, the Golden Eagle Knights lost a total of 63 large cargo magic locomotives, and the most critical magic artillery was destroyed as many as 89, making the Golden Eagle Knights the most important high firepower. Directly declare that it is close to being scrapped.

The Chiyang Corps was even more straightforward. The originally equipped with as many as 520 large cargo magic locomotives were directly damaged in the battle, and more than one hundred were directly damaged. After the war, due to various problems, there were more than two hundred that could not operate normally.

At this time, the Chiyang Army’s most famous reliance on the high mobility brought by the large freight magic locomotive was also scrapped.

The most terrible thing is that due to the rupture between the Candela Empire and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has withdrawn all support for the Candela Empire.

Reflected in the large-scale cargo magic locomotive, that is, now there is no official logistics maintenance department of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Candela Empire.

These large freight magic locomotives were all purchased from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and now they are broken. Of course, they can’t expect the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to come back to take care of repairs, and they can only find a way by themselves.

However, although several chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire have privately developed and imitated large-scale cargo magic locomotives, and have achieved certain results, it is impossible to reach the height of the new flying chamber of commerce technically.

And even with the repair technology, there is no suitable standard parts in the Candela Empire.

At the current level of the magic industry in the Candela Empire, many parts cannot be made by themselves.

So this meant that the Scarlet Sun Corps had also lost most of its combat effectiveness.

Summarizing the results of the six fronts, the first batch of people who participated in the battle totaled more than 130,000 people. They had only experienced one battle. The loss of personnel alone has exceeded 40,000, and the losses of various materials are countless. It was close to losing half of its combat power.

This result undoubtedly shocked the Candela Empire.

Although before the war started, they had expected that this war would not be easy to fight, because the New Flying Merchants Association would definitely support the Ruelson Kingdom this time.

But no one thought that this war would be so difficult, and it was just the first battle that caused the Candela Empire to suffer such severe losses.

What’s more frightening is that the loss of the Ruelson Kingdom is almost zero!

Because from the beginning to the end, there were as many as 130,000 soldiers in the nine legions of the Six Front Army, and none of them had actually fought against the army of the Ruelson Kingdom.

In other words, the various legions of the Candela Empire were passively beaten from start to finish, and they didn’t even touch the army of the Ruelson Kingdom.

This fact undoubtedly shocked everyone in the Candela Empire, even a little bit of horror.

But this is not what surprised them the most.

The one that attracted the most attention of the Candela Empire military was the Third Front Army.

The two legions of the Golden Eagle Knights and the Red Sun Legion weren’t even in an ambush, but suffered such terrible losses when they were fighting head-on with the Ruelson Kingdom on the Indra Prairie.

The result of this battle meant that the military advantage that the Candela Empire relied on most in the army vanished in an instant.

The Ruelson Kingdom did not send many people at all, enough to defeat the army of the Candela Empire several times, and the Candela Empire army failed to cause any damage to the opponent.

This means that the combat effectiveness of the two sides is no longer on the same level at all, and the number of troops has basically become a meaningless thing.

If the Ruelson Kingdom continues to maintain such a strong combat power, the Candela Empire’s army may not have any hope of victory.

Duke Macaros thought for a while with a sullen face, and suddenly fixed his gaze on Gerald, the head of the Golden Eagle Knights standing in front of him.

“Gerald, tell me, what is going on with that weird-looking magic locomotive you encountered?”

Hearing this question, the monsters he encountered on the battlefield that day appeared in front of Gerald’s eyes, and a look of fear passed involuntarily on his face.

Even if it had been the battle three days ago, he still felt a strong sense of powerlessness when he thought of it now.

When he first saw those strange magic locomotives, Gerald was only puzzled and ordered his men to attack with magic artillery.

But then the strange magic locomotive told him with facts that the two sides are not in the same grade at all.

Under the frantic bombardment of the magic artillery of the Golden Eagle Knights and even the Red Sun Army and various individual magic rockets, those strange magic locomotives flashed a halo to easily resist all the attacks, and they counterattack at random. , It will cause heavy losses to the Golden Eagle Knights and the Red Sun Legion.

Such an exaggerated difference in combat power even made Gerald suspect that these guys were demons drawn from another world by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce!

However, this is of course an illusion. The fact is that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce now has this extremely terrifying, and people can’t think of a way to defeat it or even block its demon-level military magic machinery.

Now that the Duke of Macaros asked himself to describe what was going on, Gerald opened his mouth and stayed for a long time. For a while, he didn’t know how to describe it.

Seeing Gerald staying there, Duke Macaros snorted dissatisfiedly.

“What? Gerald, are you stupid by the Ruerson? If you are afraid, go back to the empire now, don’t be ashamed here!”

Gerald woke up, awake, shook his head vigorously, “No, no, Lord Duke, I am not… but you want me to tell me what happened to the weird magic locomotive that day… I don’t know. How to describe it, but… I really can’t think of any way to get those things.”

“Do you mean that we have no chance of winning when we encounter something like that?” Duke Macaros raised his eyebrows and asked.

Seeing the evil spirit in the eyes of the Duke of Macaros, Gerald still only gave a wry smile and nodded slightly.

“Yes, Lord Duke, I don’t think we can resist those horrible things if we run into it head-on.”

Hearing this answer, the other legions in the tent couldn’t help showing their surprised expressions.

Although most of the generals in the tent have actually participated in the previous battle with the Ruelson Kingdom army, most of them have suffered a lot. They know that the Ruelson Kingdom has many extremely powerful military magic machines, so that They have all kinds of magical means of attack, making them helpless.

But Gerald said that the so-called “weird magical locomotives” he encountered could not be blocked at all. Isn’t this too alarmist?

Could this kid Gerald deliberately exaggerate the strength of the enemy because he lost the worst, so as to conceal his weakness and lead to defeat?

If Narorov, the commander of the Red Sun Army Corps, hadn’t been unable to participate in this meeting because he had been in a coma these days, would he have the same tone as Gerald?

The Duke of Macaros was obviously also very dissatisfied with Gerald’s answer. He snorted heavily and said: “Gerald, according to what you said, should we retreat now? We can’t beat it anyway. Isn’t the enemy?”

Everyone could hear this obviously ironic irony, but after thinking about it for a while, Gerald nodded vigorously and responded with a very serious expression: “Yes, Lord Duke. I am. I feel…when we are unable to cope, it is a wise choice to temporarily retreat.”

Duke Macaros was furious. He slapped him on the table next to him and pointed at Gerald and shouted: “Gerald, if you are so shaken by the military, believe it or not, I will immediately pull you out of the military. ?”

Gerald wanted to explain a few more words, but the other officer standing beside him pulled his arm and stopped him.

Seeing that Gerald lowered his head and stopped speaking, Duke Macaros snorted again, his eyes swept across the crowd, and said with a calm face: “Since the army of our Candela Empire has already attacked, we can’t do it until we have achieved results. Retreat! If anyone shakes the military spirit in the future, don’t blame me for turning my face and ruthlessly!”

A group of generals and officers abruptly responded.

“Now we come to discuss the next battle plan, look here…”

Duke Macaros walked to the huge map hung on the side of the tent and just opened his mouth. The curtain of the tent was suddenly opened. A guard of the Duke Macaros, who was a messenger, rushed in with a panic face.

Before Duke Macaros could ask, the guard had already plopped and knelt in front of Duke Macaros, and said in a panic: “Big…sir, just received the news that Sevinxi City was attacked by an army of unknown origin. …”

Everyone in the tent was taken aback.

Severn West City is the location of the logistics warehouse of the Expeditionary Army, which is equivalent to the foundation of this expeditionary army. Now Severn West City is under a surprise attack, then…

“How about the material warehouse?” Duke Macaros asked quickly.

“The material warehouse…the warehouse was completely destroyed during the raid…”

The answer spit out from the personal guard instantly plunged the tent into a dead silence.
