The rain line has gradually spread into the territory of the Federal Kingdom of Turku.
But the Frost Dragon Kingdom's army continues its relentless advance.
No matter who the enemy is in their way, whether it's a raging wind or a torrential rain, they keep charging forward.
In the words of their later adversaries, the army of the Frost Dragon Kingdom was like a ferocious beast in a storm.
They advanced forward without any regard for casualties.
This army was later known as the Frost Dragon First Legion, a renowned force in the Frost Dragon Kingdom.
It was also the first legion with a formal organization in the Frost Dragon Kingdom.
Because the Frost Dragon Kingdom was established relatively recently, many of its armies still use the original temporary formations.
The military system of the Frost Dragon Kingdom has not yet been fully implemented.
So, this is the first one.
This first one also has a completely different meaning.
at the same time.
Within the enemy's range.
A torrent of steel converged and advanced toward Tiger Tooth Mountain.
"Quickly! Keep going!"
We're only ten kilometers away from Tiger Tooth Mountain!
"Report, the enemy is closing in on us."
The commander inside an armored vehicle looked out at the torrential rain and muddy ground.
At this moment, the mechanized troops, which should have been highly mobile, were like wild beasts stuck in the mud, finding it very difficult to advance even one step.
"How many troops have already withdrawn to Tiger Tooth Mountain?" the commander asked.
"It's 30%."
The remaining 30% are expected to be able to enter Tiger Tooth Mountain within half an hour.
"And the remaining four..." The subordinate finished speaking at this moment.
The commander naturally knew what this meant.
He looked at the tanks and armored vehicles in the torrential rain.
"Give the order."
"Move what you can, and destroy the engine and leave it here if you can't move it."
"But... there are several hundred tanks here!" The subordinate was somewhat unwilling.
"Have you forgotten what His Majesty the King said?"
As long as we are alive, our corps will still exist.
These iron contraptions can be replaced.
However, if we lose all of them, the Frost Dragon Kingdom will have to wait even longer to build another mechanized force with combat experience.
Okay, pass on the instructions.
We can't delay any longer.
"If we delay any longer, the enemy will surround us!" the commander said solemnly.
"yes!"
Soon, after destroying the engines of the tanks and armored vehicles stuck in the mud, the soldiers inside tearfully left their weapons.
They retreated towards Tiger Tooth Mountain.
Although Tiger Tooth Mountain is called a mountain, it is actually more like a rounded hilltop.
It's not tall.
It's not steep either, which is why Phoenix ordered the mechanized forces to retreat here.
Because this mountain itself cannot really be considered a defensive line.
Because it is not high and does not have much of a geographical advantage.
Therefore, the local forces did not establish a defensive line here.
And because it is not steep, tanks and armored vehicles can drive directly to the rounded summit of Tiger Tooth Mountain.
This mountain is actually suitable for mechanized troops like theirs.
We are currently on the summit of Tiger Tooth Mountain.
Mechanized troops have formed a defensive line.
The outer armored defense line consisted of troop carriers, armored vehicles, and some severely damaged tanks.
The other vehicles were positioned in the middle, forming firing points.
The soldiers were hiding inside this defensive formation made of metal barrels.
In the midst of the raging storm, these armored vehicles and tanks became their only refuge.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of enemy troops were closing in on them.
The commander surveyed his surroundings.
The surrounding area is all plains, stretching as far as the eye can see.
The attacking enemy had no cover, and similarly, on Tiger Tooth Mountain, they had nothing to rely on except the armor around them.
Look at the torrential rain overhead.
I don't know how long this will last.
"Everyone stay put and rest."
The wounded were housed in troop carriers.
Check your weapons and ammunition.
"We'll hold this position until reinforcements arrive." The commander, wearing a raincoat, sat on a rock.
"Sir, are we really going to get reinforcements?" the sergeant next to him asked with some concern.
The commander looked coldly at the sergeant: "If you ask this question again, I will shoot you dead."
You are undermining morale."
"Yes, sir." The sergeant lowered his head in shame.
"I believe we will receive reinforcements."
His Majesty the King would not deceive us.
It's just like the airborne troops at the southern fortress.
His Majesty the King said that reinforcements would arrive at the southern fortress within two days.
Five thousand paratroopers held out for two days; they did it.
His Majesty the King did what he said he would do.
And now, we will also fulfill our promise.
I assured His Majesty the King.
I will withdraw most of my armored forces here.
I will stay here for at least three days.
We will also fulfill our promises.
...
Black Coral Harbour
In Black Coral Harbor, amidst the storm, the searchlights used for navigation were still flashing continuously.
However, with this level of visibility, the visible distance is very short.
The sentries stationed throughout the harbor, watching the storm raging outside, all huddled in their posts, keeping their heads tucked in.
"In this weather, we're still being made to stand guard."
"This is really making us suffer." A sentry looked at the shaky house and was worried that it would collapse.
Let's look at the water flowing in through the crack.
There was hardly a dry spot on the ground.
His boots were already soaked.
His companion next to him had already taken off his military boots and was sitting on a chair wearing slippers he'd found somewhere.
"Why are we even standing guard in this weather?"
Wouldn't it be better to find a place to stay?
In this weather, even sharks are holed up in their dens.
"There won't be any fighting." His companion leaned against the wet wall, his eyes closed.
Waaaaaah
Suddenly, his companion opened his eyes.
"Did you hear anything?"
It looks like an airplane.
"airplane?
Are you kidding me?
"In this awful weather, only a lunatic would take off in a plane." Another soldier laughed sarcastically.
The companion walked suspiciously toward the observation window, and the next second his expression turned horrified.
"Bombing... bombers..."
"Are you crazy? How could there be bombers in this weather?"
boom!
A loud bang left the soldiers, who had just been questioning the incident, looking incredulous.
That sound just now was thunder, wasn't it?
right!
It must be thunder.
In this weather, how could there possibly be bombers here?
He looked out at the sky under the torrential rain.
He saw bombers swaying and approaching Black Coral Harbor from the air.
Some of the bombers had already begun their dive, their targets being the warships in the harbor.
boom!
Another loud bang.
A docked frigate was hit directly and burst into flames in the torrential rain.
"Air raid! Air raid!"
"Sound the air raid siren!"
Only then did everyone realize what was happening and began sounding the air raid sirens.
In this torrential rain, the normally highly penetrating sound of the air raid sirens was greatly reduced.
"Are these bombers from the Frost Dragon Kingdom?"
"Where did they come from?" the soldier asked blankly.
"They came from the sea in this direction."
These are bombers that took off from the aircraft carrier.
"aircraft carrier?
How is this possible? This weather.
"There will be fleets sailing on the high seas; are they courting death?!"
"Then how do you explain these bombers!"
If it flew from the Kingdom of Turku, our outposts along the way couldn't possibly have missed it.
You must understand that Black Coral Harbor is located deep within our kingdom, not on the front lines!
Everyone basically has a clear answer in mind.
That means those lunatics from the Frost Dragon Kingdom arranged for a fleet to be out at sea during this torrential rain.
And these bombers were dispatched to carry out this bombing mission.
In such weather, why travel such a long distance just for a bombing raid?
Anyone with eyes can see that this is impossible.
Those madmen in the storm at sea are definitely not just after a bombing.
What's next?
It goes without saying.
The storm at Black Coral Harbor has only just begun.
From the initial three or five bombers, to the later dozen or so, and then hundreds.
Even if those anti-aircraft guns reacted and began to retaliate.
However, due to the haste, it was impossible to form an effective air defense force.
The interception effect is very poor.
And the already limited number of anti-aircraft artillery positions were destroyed one by one by these bombers.
Black Coral Harbor was completely defenseless.
Warships and shore artillery became the primary targets of attack.
The warships realized something was wrong and began trying to leave port.
However, the warships at the outermost edge of the channel were targeted and quickly damaged, resulting in the channel for direct departure from the port being blocked.
This made the warships in the port like turtles in a jar.
After rounds of bombing, apart from a few bombers that were lost forever at sea and warplanes that were shot down over Black Coral Harbor, the rest of the bombers were destroyed.
More bombers completed their bombing missions as scheduled and began to withdraw towards the Turku Federation Kingdom.
They will use their remaining fuel tanks to fly as far as possible.
As for the rest, we can only leave it to fate.
They left behind a devastated Black Coral Harbor.
The military commander at Black Coral Harbor watched as the aerial demons disappeared into the distance.
But he felt no peace of mind.
Because he knew the real threat was yet to come; it came from the sea.
"Quick! Quick! Go and rescue the shore artillery position."
Check how many shore-based artillery pieces are still usable or salvageable.
"Gather all troops and prepare to set up defensive positions at Black Coral Harbor."
The enemy is about to attack us, and it's coming from the sea!
"Quickly clear the waterway."
Tow that damned warship away.
"Let our warships, which still have combat capability, leave port immediately!"
"Contact the fleet patrolling the open sea and return immediately."
Our Black Coral Harbor has been attacked by the Frost Dragon Kingdom's fleet!
The commander issued orders one after another.
Of course, they also didn't forget to request reinforcements from higher authorities.
When he first contacted his superior, the superior thought he was joking.
Their kingdom's port, located behind the front lines, was bombed by enemy bombers.
Furthermore, there is a possibility of being attacked by enemy fleets.
And it was in this stormy weather.
How is that possible?
After confirming it several times.
The superiors have ordered that Black Coral Harbor must be defended at all costs, and reinforcements will depart immediately to reinforce Black Coral Harbor!
Meanwhile, the fleet patrolling the sea also sent back the latest news.
They encountered a small fleet from the Frost Dragon Kingdom at sea and are currently engaged in battle with it.
Unable to return!
This was undoubtedly a meticulously planned scheme by the enemy.
High-ranking officials of the Northern Forces Command.
"I see.
This is the enemy's plan.
Black Coral Harbour is less than 50 kilometers from Tiger Tooth Mountain.
This is within the firing range of the Frost Dragon Kingdom's warships.
Their naval guns can provide direct support to the battlefield at Tiger Tooth Mountain.
If their troops land at Black Coral Harbor, they can reinforce Tiger Tooth Mountain in the shortest possible time!
This is the enemy's plan!
"So what do we do now?"
The old general stared at the battle situation on the sand table.
His expression was grave: "This king of the Frost Dragon Kingdom is truly audacious."
They actually dared to gamble so recklessly.
Our only chance now is to prevent the enemy from [N O V E L I G H T] taking Black Coral Harbor.
At the same time, we can eliminate the mechanized forces of Tiger Tooth Mountain in the shortest possible time.
Only in this way can we have a chance to stabilize the current situation.
Hold Black Coral Harbor and take Tiger Tooth Mountain.
These two moves are crucial for them right now.
"Mobilize all troops currently stationed around these two locations and reinforce the battlefields in these two locations at all costs."
"No one has any objections, right?" The old general looked at the others.
At this point, no one raised any objections.
Because everyone is well aware of the threat posed by the move by the Frost Dragon Kingdom.
The Frost Dragon Kingdom has its sights set on more than just the territory of the Turku Federation Kingdom.
They also wanted to launch a counterattack against the home territories of these forces.
Once Black Coral Harbor is captured, the Frost Dragon Kingdom could even transport a large number of troops directly to their rear flanks by waterway.
This is undoubtedly a huge threat to them.
In this way...
The final battle of this war has arrived.
Everyone's attention was focused on the Black Coral Harbor battlefield.
At this moment, in the midst of a torrential downpour outside Black Coral Harbor.
One after another, steel behemoths revealed their ferocious faces.
"We've arrived!" Huo Lidia said, looking through her binoculars at the Coral Harbor across the water.
She no longer had time to observe the damage the previous bomber formation had caused to the port.
He immediately ordered all warships to attack all visible targets in Black Coral Harbor.
Especially those targets that launch counterattacks against them.
Boom boom boom
A series of loud explosions came from the sea.
Black Coral Harbor, which had finally managed to enjoy a period of peace, was once again engulfed in gunfire.
This time, the artillery fire was even fiercer and posed a greater threat.
Even among them, those creatures bared their fangs, ready to pounce and tear them to pieces at any moment.
Half an hour later.
Marines prepare to land.
"We must seize control of this port as quickly as possible!" Huo Lidia said with a serious expression.
