Vol 8 Chapter 111: Can you keep it?

General Dardanelle stood on a stone protruding from the top of the mountain, holding a telescope and looking at the camp of the army of the Kingdom of Lampari at the foot of the mountain.
The army of the Kingdom of Lampari has been stationed at the foot of the mountain for two days, but there has been no movement, which is somewhat strange.
But General Dardanelle did not dare to take it lightly. After all, he now leads the army to guard, but to the most important gateway to the northern province of the original Candela empire, once lost, the Marlow Empire will be completely in the control area north of the Candela Empire. Exposed to the army of the Kingdom of Lampari.
With the current strength of the two armies, if you can't block the army of the Kingdom of Lampari in such a difficult position, let them flood into the northern plains of the Candela Empire, it means that the Marlow Empire was hard to control before. The site was completely lost.
However... can you keep it?
General Dardanelle looked up at the sky and smiled.
The military combat magic airship of the Kingdom of Lampari can be said to have won a lot in every respect compared to the Marlow Empire, so that now when the two armies are against each other, the kingdom of Lampari always controls the air superiority. The aspect can only be controlled everywhere.
In order to repel the disadvantages of air superiority, it is said that the interior of the empire has begun to discuss the system of restarting the magician regiment, and the powerful magicians accumulated in the empire for many years have been brought back to the battlefield, relying on them to deal with the magical airship brigade of the Kingdom of Lampari.
On the surface, this proposal is not without reason.
Although the power of the magic airship is large, it is inferior in flexibility because of its large size.
With a powerful magician to deal with it, with the current in-depth study of the magic space by the magicians, it will not be like the magical airship that first encountered the new Flying Chamber of Commerce, because the space of the simplest magic element is locked. Without the power to fight back, there is hope to compete with it.
But in fact, the feasibility of this proposal is extremely low.
First of all, because of the restrictions imposed by the "Continent Magician Peace Convention", there are few magicians of the Maro Empire who are willing to fight against the danger of violating the Convention and rejoin the Marlow Empire. Because it is very likely that they will lose all the skills assessment opportunities in the future, and thus lose all opportunities to enter other chambers of commerce, research institutes and other places.
It is the duty of the Marlow Empire magicians to work for their country, but for this reason, no one is willing to do it.
Second. Even if the magicians are willing, the Marlow Empire may not be willing to do it themselves.
Re-recruiting the magician into the army and joining the war with the Kingdom of Lampari is a clear violation of the "Continent Magician Peace Convention," and the Marlow Empire is bound to be accused by all countries on the entire Sainz continent.
This is only more unfavorable for the current situation of the Marlow Empire.
Less than a last resort. The Marlow Empire is never willing to take this endless practice.
Besides, even if you really do this, you can only regain some of the air superiority at the very least, but it is difficult to completely suppress the magical airship battalion of the army of the Kingdom of Lampari.
As for the desire to gain an advantage, defeating the Kingdom of Lampari is basically impossible.
Otherwise, if the Marlow Empire is blamed by other countries, it will certainly insist on doing so.
The Candela Empire has been killed, and if the Kingdom of Lampari is completely defeated, the Marlow Empire is the most powerful country on the mainland of Sainz. none of them.
At that time, what is the convention of this convention is not a matter at all.
It is precisely because of this lack of confidence that the Marlow Empire could not make this determination.
In the distant sky, several black spots flew quickly.
General Dardanelle did not need to look at it at all, and knew that it should be the cargo magical airship of the Kingdom of Lampari that brought another batch of logistics materials.
In a similar situation these two days, it was only four times that he saw it in these two days, showing how high the transportation of goods in the Kingdom of Lampari is.
However, after seeing this situation here, the doubts in General Dardanelle’s mind were deeper.
Since the Kingdom of Lampari has been willing to be extravagant to use the cargo magic airship to quickly transport logistical supplies, it proves that their attack should be very strong.
However, they waited for two days at the foot of the mountain and there was no movement. what is the problem?
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and naturally, no matter what you do, you should race against time.
Any time is precious, and the army of the Lampari Kingdom was wasted two days here, which was a major decision-making mistake.
Unless... they are brewing a plot.
Think of it here. General Dardanelle put down the telescope irritably, grabbed a huge magic box from the guards around him, and connected a communication.
"Hey, Hannich, how are you over there?"
"Not good." A calm and steady voice sounded in the magic box. "What? Is there something on your side?"
"There is a situation that is better!" General Dardanelle snorted. "The Lampari people have been blocked at the foot of the mountain for more than two days. But they are doing nothing, what do they want to do?"
"Maybe they just want to block you."
Hanicer and General Dardanelle on the side of the Magic Call Box are the heads of a defending legion of the Marlow Empire. They are now commanding a legion, each of which is in the same place as the Candela Empire.
Because the two have a good relationship in private and the distance between the two is not far away, Dardanelle often communicates with Hannich.
"What are you blocking me? The Empire is not ready for counterattack, unless they want to counterattack us." General Dadaniel muttered. "But looking at what they are now, it's not quite like it."
"Obviously, the new Flyer will want to cooperate with the guys in the Candela empire to toss something in the west and south. The Lampari Kingdom is in line with their actions." Hannich's tone is still faint.
"I really don't know what the new Feishang Chamber is doing. If they really want to take the territory of the Candela empire from the mouth of the Empire, they can send the guards out to the public. Why bother? Tossing out so many things? It’s just too much trouble.
General Dadaniel’s tone was full of disdain. "It is said that Xu, the president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, is the most wise person. I think he is completely confused now."
"If you don't understand anything, then shut up." Hannich's tone finally changed, but it was a reckless reprimand for General Dardanelle. "The things that Xu Huichang thinks about this kind of thing must have his reason, but I can't see it now."
General Dardanelle sighed helplessly: "Well, you guy is a loyal supporter of Xu Yi, I really shouldn't tell you this topic. Speak up... Hannich, if you are not us Marlow I am afraid that the people of the empire will have to invest in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce."
"If you have enough understanding of President Xu, you will be deeply admired by him like me." Hannich's tone is very solemn. "But this does not mean that I will choose to join the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. And now when we are not discussing these issues with you, the empire allows us to hold these two places, in order to stabilize the area of ​​the North that belonged to the Candela Empire, and wait until the Empire. After digesting this area, I believe there will be further moves. As for now, let the Kingdom of Lampari and the New Flyer Chambers toss in the South."
"Of course I understand. It is really uncomfortable to be stuck in the mountains and not go out." General Dardanelle complained.
"If you feel that you are winning, then I am not against you to take someone to fight." Hannich was cold and cold.
"I'm not crazy yet," General Dadanil muttered, arbitrarily hanging up the newsletter.
The communication with Hannich has no real meaning, just to let General Dardanelle come to understand the irritability of the heart.
This kind of thing he used to do, Hannicher has long been used to it, so in fact, neither side talked about too many things in the newsletter, it can only be considered a chat.
Seeing General Dardanelle put down the magic box, a guard came over and handed him a form.
"General, this is the latest combat readiness report just counted."
General Dardanelle frowned, and finally sighed and took the form.
Although he had already been psychologically prepared, after seeing the situation on the form, General Dardanelle still felt his head faint.
Compared with yesterday's statistics, the Legion's readiness situation has become even worse.
The table clearly shows that just yesterday, two magic artillery pieces failed, one of which was the direct failure of the launching array, and the other was the crack of the barrel, which was impossible to launch.
At the same time, in the magical shells that were stored, after a day, 13 new ones were completely lost.
In addition, there are various faults in the thirty-seven magical guns. A magic tank crawls off the ground, and even the eggs in the warehouse disappeared for more than a hundred...
All sorts of bad things piled up, and General Dardanelle looked upset and couldn't help but kick a tree next to him.
"Mom, the guys at the Logistics Department are eating!"
More than a hundred of these small problems, such as eggs, can be directly ignored, but the loss of various new armaments that occur every day makes General Dardanelle unbearable.
The military magical mechanical armament of his army is inherently inferior to the Lanpari kingdom. Now there are so many non-combat losses every day. If this continues, there is no need for the Lampari kingdom to come. He himself I can't hold it anymore.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scream in the heart of the guys at the Marlow Empire Military Logistics Agency.
In addition to the Guards Corps directly under the five imperial royal families, the Logistics Department is always guilty of giving up the armor of the defending corps like him.
Nowadays, the various military magical machines that these soldiers are equipped with are obviously not enough, and the quality is also various problems.
However, he also knows that sometimes there is no blame for the Logistics Department. (To be continued.)
