PDLP Chapter 505 Fabrice
Chapter 505 Fabrice
After the scouts brought back the news from the front, the front-line command told the soldiers under it about the Light Knights combat unit.
The soldiers under his command had different opinions on this. Some believed that these Knights of Light were vulnerable, but more believed that these Knights of Light were difficult to deal with.
Because as the natives of this world, they have certainly heard of the horror of the Knight of Light.
Once, when the Knights of Light faced the army of the Demon Empire, they created a brilliant record of 300 against 8000.
Moreover, the Knight of Light at that time was just a Knight Master, but now the Knight of Light has become an Astartes.
Therefore, the National Defense Forces were fully prepared and in high spirits.
In order to deal a heavy blow to these Knights of Light, each soldier was given an RPG.
Stacked beside them, they will deal a heavy blow to the enemy once they come within attack range.
And the armored units were all equipped with armor-piercing shells.
Although armored units have never defeated this type of Astartes, armor-piercing bullets are a good choice against armored units.
Maybe one tank gun is not enough, then add a few more tanks and directly adopt the top-level tactic of more people against fewer.
In fact, it translates to human wave tactics!
Then the pressure was put on the artillery, which was tasked with not allowing any enemy to approach the first line of defense.
In order to give the artillery enough room to play, the Wehrmacht stored at least 200 rounds of shells for each artillery piece on the front line, and another 800 rounds of shells were stored at various supply points in the rear.
One gun has 1000 shells.
If these 1000 rounds were fired directly at us, not only humans, but even tanks would not be able to withstand it...
After scouting the defense lines of the National Defense Army, the vanguard troops of the Papal States immediately returned to the main army and reported the situation to the commander-in-chief at the front line.
The commander of this Crusade was not a proud and complacent man, but an 80-year-old veteran.
This veteran was named Fabrice, and during Alexander's time, he had fought against Alexander's Western Expedition.
It can be said that if it were not for Fabrice, Alexander might have led Caedis and others to conquer the Papal States.
Of course, this is just a possibility.
Because the Papal States still have many unknown secrets, Alexander may not be able to completely destroy the Papal States.
However, the Papal States had not yet used these things at that time, but Fabrice was able to lead 80 million Crusaders to stop elite troops of the Holy Empire.
Even Cadis was deeply wary of Fabrice, because the two had fought at least six times, and all six times ended in a draw.
In fact, this is also related to the location of the Papal States.
The Papal States is located to the west of the Demon Empire. If the Holy Empire wants to attack the Papal States, it must destroy the Demon Empire.
Although Alexander led an army of 200 million to the west, 120 million of them were used to suppress the Demon Empire.
Therefore, the number of troops available to Cadis was very limited, and he often had to fight with a smaller force against a larger one.
Cadis could only seize the opportunity and concentrate his superior forces to attack Fabrice's weakness.
Fabrice was still very young at that time, so it was inevitable that there would be flaws.
But as the two sides fought more and more, Fabrice became more experienced.
He directly adopted a defensive strategy.
Fabrice simply concentrated all his troops on a line of defense, leaving Caedis no chance to take advantage.
The two sides confronted each other on the border for half a year. Finally, due to financial problems in the Holy Empire, Cadis led his troops to withdraw.
Fabrice became famous because of this battle.
So, when Fabrice looked at the army on the Kursk Plain, he learned that the commander was Caedis.
Fabrice had a serious expression on his face.
Although everyone thought that Cadis was old, only Fabrice knew that he did not win at all back then.
If Cadis had sufficient logistics and considerable military strength.
Then Cadis will lead the Holy Empire to break through his defenses.
So Fabrice immediately ordered all officers to cheer up and prohibit entertainment during the war.
Yes, you heard it right, it’s all about having fun!
Although the Crusaders were hailed as the goddess' army, they appeared to be very bright and just to outsiders.
But in reality, they are seriously rotten inside.
The reason why the Crusaders had such outstanding combat effectiveness was due to the fanatical worship of the Goddess of Light by the lower-level soldiers.
Everyone fights like they don't care about their lives.
The senior officers, on the other hand, just sit back and reap the benefits, and only need to make a simple remark.
"The Goddess of Light has given us an oracle. We must take over this position in front of us!"
Then a large number of Crusaders will come forward one after another and take the positions regardless of death.
Senior officers can gain benefits effortlessly.
Such was the darkness of the Papal Crusades, and these top officers were able to indulge in luxury.
They were even able to carry women in their armies.
These women would be disguised as nuns, so the lower-level Crusaders would not be aware of the situation.
Even if they knew, once they dared to speak out, they would most likely disappear from this world completely...
Because the military bishop only needs one word.
"This person has blasphemed the goddess."
The angry Crusaders around him would tear him to pieces...
So the Papal States are rotten to the core.
Fabrice certainly knew about this situation, but he was unwilling to point it out, yet he was also unwilling to go along with it.
So at this critical juncture, he had to restrain his officers.
Some officers chose to obey Fabrice's orders, because although Fabrice's words were a bit harsh, he was a veteran after all.
He has rich combat experience, and many officers are not fools. Since Fabrice has said that they should be alert, the other party is definitely not an ordinary person.
If you lose, you may lose your life. Even if you save your life, your wealth and glory may be gone.
So restrain your temporary enjoyment in exchange for a happy life in the second half of your life!
But there are always some Crusader officers who disagree. They are representatives of the young and vigorous faction.
I think veterans like Fabrice should go home and enjoy his retirement.
Instead of commanding this group of young people here.
So they continued to enjoy themselves as usual, because in their eyes the Holy Empire had already fallen.
Even if the opponent is Cadis, he only has 100 million troops.
One million? How can they compete with our three million crusaders?
And we also have tens of thousands of special knights of light!
It’s still uncertain who will win!
Fabrice was not angry at the reaction of these young people and there was no expression on his face.
Because there is no point in talking more, time will prove everything...
Fabrice ordered his trusted men to immediately set up defenses, because he guessed that the Wehrmacht would launch a night attack tonight...
(Good night (//?//) is not good afternoon (＞﹏＜))
