The First Expedition on Ballid
The Barid Kingdom had a vast territory that covered almost the entire American continent. The rise of the apes had caused this great country to cease to exist. The apes slaughtered the kingdom's subjects. There were more than ten million troops stationed here, led by the commander of the American Expeditionary Force, Wowosila, the distant nephew of the Great Ape King, Walter Hicks. This fellow was extremely cruel. He burned, killed, and plundered wherever he went. He committed all kinds of crimes. He was an executioner to the core. Countless vengeful souls had died under its hands. Relying on its relationship with the king, it bullied the weak and covered the sky with its hands. Even its soldiers secretly said that it was a demon king who killed without blinking.
Wovosila had 20 armies under its command, and they were well-equipped. They had a powerful think tank that other armies envied, and the strategists who gave them advice were all capable of taking charge of their own affairs. They could be said to be the true trump card army. Its greatest interest was to be in a high position, to be below one person and above ten thousand people. It was the only one who was supreme and had no say.
It was cruel by nature and regarded life as grass. It did not take the living beings of nature seriously. It was bloodthirsty and heartless. Not only for humans and animals, but also for its own kind of subordinates. When it was unhappy, it would either beat or scold it. What was more, if its subordinates were slightly dissatisfied with its actions, regardless of whether they were high-ranking officials or commoners, they would all be killed. For a moment, everyone felt threatened, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak up. In order to protect themselves, they all went against their hearts and submitted to it. Its backer was too strong, so it could only be a submissive citizen. Other aspects were even more ridiculous. The food he ate had to be the freshest. If he was not satisfied with it, he would throw it away. He had to change his clothes after wearing them for only a day. It was extremely wasteful. It was unprecedented. All day long, he was drunk and indulged in extravagance and debauchery, deceiving his superiors and subordinates, and falsely claiming expenses. Its cost was more than thousands of apes.
However, it had a huge weakness, which was its stubbornness and stubbornness.
Recently, with its powerful military strength, it had clamored to eliminate all humans and animals in its jurisdiction within a month. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, and its arrogance was extremely arrogant. It sent out a scout to scout the situation, which was the ape army that the Salvation Army had destroyed earlier. It lost its patience when it didn't get any rewards, and it personally led the army to Koria.
Mira volunteered to attack Coria and wrestle with the ape army. Arias felt that the first battle was a victory, and it was the time when morale was high. He could not let it go, and he could also use this opportunity to verify his own strength. Therefore, he supported Milla's request.
Selby strongly remonstrated with Arias. Now that there was a huge difference in strength between the enemy and the ape army, it was not suitable for them to engage in a head-on confrontation. Moreover, the situation was unknown, so it was even more inappropriate for them to send troops.
Arias was in a state of excitement and did not listen to Selby's words at all. He was hot-headed, and this time he insisted on going his own way.
For the sake of caution, Selby suggested letting Mikel lead the 3rd Army. They could take care of each other so that Mira wouldn't go deep alone. Arias agreed. Selby warned Milla and Mikel to discuss more when they encountered problems and not to act arbitrarily. If the situation was not right, they must respond appropriately and retreat if it did not work. They must remember not to advance blindly. The two generals repeatedly promised.
Mila and Mikel set off with their troops.
Arias ordered the remaining troops to step up their training in preparation for the war. He himself stayed in the war room to study the battle situation while waiting for news from the army.
Milla had been on the expedition for three days, and on this day, she arrived at Hus City. The general of the garrison here was called Navra. He was a brave guy but had no brains. When the army arrived at the city gates, Navra hastily accepted the challenge.
The two armies split into two formations. Louis took the lead and killed a few ape leaders, boosting the morale of the Salvation Army. Navra did not expect the Salvation Army to be so powerful, and he panicked. Since there was no one around him, he could only personally take action. Milla summoned Louis back and personally went into battle. In just one exchange, he had killed Navra. A general guarding the city died so easily. Mila Blade pointed at the sky. "Kill!" The Salvation Army charged towards the enemy like a tide.
With their commander killed, the ape army lost all morale and was utterly defeated. Tens of thousands of soldiers were instantly reduced to nothingness. Only a small number of teams escaped to Betta City. Mira entered the city with her head held high.
After a brief rest, the troops set off for Beta City.
Muslaila was the highest commander of Beta City. He was puzzled by the fall of Hus City. How could tens of thousands of troops be wiped out so quickly? It was not convinced. It wanted to see what kind of army was so powerful that the Salvation Army had arrived at the city.
This guy wasn't as brave as Navra. It didn't fight blindly. It just wanted to defend. It had to wait and see. However, it had a very bad temper. The Salvation Army's curses over the past few days made it lose its cool and lead its troops out of the city to fight.
Jamil fought with it and could not win for a long time. Mikel replaced Jamil and fought with Muslaila. This guy was obviously stronger than Navra, and it took a lot of effort to kill it. Mira waved her flag and the army charged into the city.
Coria was a military town, and the Salvation Army would arrive outside the city in a few days.
The good news came one after another, and Arias was ecstatic.
One day, Arias was discussing military affairs with his generals in the war room when the intelligence officer pushed open the door and entered.
"Commander, we just received the battle report from the front.”
"Read!" Arias sank his body into the wide sofa.
"Yes, sir! Commander Mila called. The Salvation Army attacked the military town of Koria and encountered strong resistance from the defenders. The enemy sent out a surprise attack. Our army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. We request reinforcements from Commander Mila.”
"What?" Arias jumped up. "Heavy losses? What did he mean? A surprise attack? What kind of surprise attack? What else did the intelligence report say?"
"No, sir. Yes, sir, how do I call Commander Milla back?”
"Get out!" Arias roared. She covered her head with her hands and sat on the sofa.
The intelligence officer retreated. The other generals present had never seen Arias so angry before. They looked at each other, but no one dared to make a sound.
After a while, Arias lost his composure. He calmed himself down and looked at everyone present. "Everyone, you've heard the intelligence report. Tell me what you think!”
"Arias, according to the intelligence, Mila seems to be in trouble. The most important thing now is to send reinforcements to help Mila and save the situation.”The one who spoke was the military officer, Selby. Only he dared to call him by his name.
"Yeah, we have to get into love as soon as possible. What happened? I wonder how the situation is now?"
"Commander, I'm willing to lead my troops to reinforce Mira. Please give the order!”The one who spoke was none other than Mira's close comrade, Tiger Kort.
" Alright, Kotter, I'll order you to reinforce them. Remember, your mission this time is to receive Mila. If the situation doesn't look good, withdraw from the battle. I'll send you the air force to assist you in the battle.”
"Yes, sir! Your Excellency."
Ke Te received the order to gather the troops and set off in a few days.
It turned out that Milla and Mikel had led their troops to Coria and set up camp. They fought the enemy troops that came out of the city for an entire day, but they did not gain anything.
After dinner, Mikel found Mira. Pierre and Michelle also came.
"Mila, in the past half a month, we've been unstoppable. Even the morale of the soldiers in Kerhusus and Betta is high. Now that we're in Coria, we're even more eager to fight. However, I still have to say something. Coria is not like Huss and Betta. This is a military town with heavy guards. Moreover, their general is here personally. We can't underestimate their strength, and we can't blindly advance. The military repeatedly warned us before we left. After all, we know nothing about the situation in the city. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. If they attacked rashly, it would cause unnecessary casualties.”
Mira smiled. "Mikel, you're being a little timid. The military counselor asked us to act according to the circumstances, not to be timid. As you have seen along the way, our army is unstoppable, and the enemy is scared out of their wits. Of course, your considerations are not without reason, but that was in the past. Back then, they had magic, and we were powerless. But now, it's different. We also have magic, and we're equal in this aspect. "They think they're strong and don't put us in their eyes. This is also their weakness. We can take advantage of it. They paid a heavy price for it. The apes are only so-so. Moreover, our strength is getting stronger by the day. We will definitely succeed. We will take down Coria and capture Wovosia. Then, we will be the first to succeed. Just wait and see."
"Wishes are beautiful, but you should also face reality. You should know that there is a huge disparity between our forces and ours. Moreover, we cannot guarantee victory in one strike. If we attack forcefully, it will definitely cause a large number of unnecessary casualties. Should he ask Commander Arias to send more troops to ensure victory?”Mikel was worried.
"No need. We can solve this problem ourselves. Don't trouble the commander anymore. Besides, we took the initiative to fight this time, and the commander has high hopes for us. Moreover, there are countless eyes watching us from behind. If we ask for help from the rear at this time, we will lose all our face. Isn't this a little inappropriate? Moreover, we are now on a smooth sailing journey, winning one victory after another. There is no reason for us to retreat. I believe we will win tomorrow. Alright, it's getting late. Go back and rest! We still have Battalion Commander waiting for us tomorrow!”
Mikel hesitated. It felt that Mila's current psychological state would not allow her to listen to what it said. If she said more, it would cause disgust, and it would be futile to waste her breath.
It bid farewell and left. It also had to plan carefully. If Mira was defeated, or if the occupation did not go smoothly, what should it do? Before the military set off, he had repeatedly instructed them to cooperate with Mila. If something went wrong, no matter how tough Mila was, they had to stop it. Because their every move was related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
The next morning, Mira led the army to attack the city.
At first, it was relatively smooth. Just like every time, the apes were losing ground.
Mikeer seemed to think that it was worrying too much. Just as she was about to join the battle with her team, there was a commotion in the vanguard. What happened?
"Report!"
"Come in. What happened?" Mikel asked the guard.
"Commander, Commander Mira is fighting with the enemy. A group of giant apes appeared out of nowhere. They are three to four meters tall and have powerful attacks. We are powerless to resist them. We couldn't hurt them at all, and our troops suffered heavy losses.”
"Where did the giant ape army come from? Don't scare them and shake the morale of the army! Get out!" Chief of Staff Michelle reminded the guards to watch their words.
"Commander, I'll go and see what's going on.”
"Okay, Michelle. Be careful."
Michelle happened to meet the defeated Mira, and the giant apes were pressing down on them. Michelle managed to kill one or two apes by herself, but the apes were too strong, so she had to fight and retreat. It asked Mira and Mikel to retreat while it covered the rear.
Helpless, Mira could only order a retreat. The troops retreated to Beta City and waited for reinforcements.
The army suffered heavy losses, and what made it even more heartbroken was Michelle's death. This was a huge blow to it. It regretted not listening to Mikel's advice and paid a heavy price. Its stubbornness, its stubbornness, and the fact that it had lost Michelle made it extremely regretful.
Seeing that the situation was in danger, Milla had no choice but to ask the headquarters for help. During this time, the apes attacked the city several times and were all repelled. The apes even mobilized the Flying Ape Air Force, and the Salvation Army suffered heavy casualties.
Kotter led his troops to Betta City just in time for the apes to attack the city.
Kotter climbed to a nearby vantage point to observe. The situation was very unfavorable for the defenders. They were being attacked on all sides, and if they were a step late, they would have to worry about the city being breached. Kotter found that the north gate was slightly weaker, which was a breakthrough point.
Kotter ordered his troops to attack the north gate with all their might. The air force's bows and arrows caused great trouble for the apes. The attacks from above and below made them unable to cope, causing panic. Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, Mila's morale was greatly boosted. She ordered the other three gates to give up defending the city and gather at the north gate to attack from both inside and outside, killing a bloody path.
It was truly a tragic battle. Swords and knives were brandished, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. The sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dim.
The apes were thrown into disarray, and a hole was torn in the line of defense. Mira took the opportunity to attack and meet up with Kotter. Mikel was seriously injured, but he still fought desperately.
Before they could land, the other three ape troops that were attacking the city from the other three sides caught up. The Giant Apes did not expect reinforcements, so they were a little slower. By the time they caught up, the Salvation Army had already retreated.
After retreating to the foot of a mountain, more and more apes chased after them. With no way out, Kotter and Mira decided to fight to the death.
The two sides fought again. The Anti-Ape Salvation Army seemed to be on the losing end, struggling to hold on.
