Vol 2 Chapter 1111: The Eve of the Final Battle (Part 1)

On December 28, 1204 of the Seven Lunar Calendar, after about two months of civil war, the situation of the Erebonian Empire began to undergo subtle changes. In the early days of the war, the aggressive aristocratic coalition forces suffered successive disadvantages starting one month after the war-first the Duke of El Barrea was expelled from the four famous gates for misconduct, and then the Marquis of Rogner was accused by the royal family. , Announcing to draw a clear line with Kane and be neutral.
Although the noble coalition still retains the elite of the Lamar State leader under the command of Kane, and a large number of new anti-tank weapons "Mechanics", many people believe that after such a major blow, the "four famous The Marquis of Haynes, who had been doing nothing before, is about to take action. However, what many people did not expect was that at the beginning of the war, the Marquis of Haynes, who did not take any major actions when the aristocratic alliance had obvious advantages, announced further support for Duke Kane at this time. This incident not only surprised the high-levels of the entire empire, but also made the worried public Kane feel at ease-if he loses a third ally, even if the Marquis of Haynes just declares neutrality like the Marquis of Roger, it is considered to be neutral. The situation is pretty bad.
In this case, the regular army’s eagerness was also seen in his eyes-the four mecha divisions in Lamar State began to contact the third and fourth units in the east through various methods intentionally or unintentionally. The Division A, I hope that these two trump cards can help them to lift the siege; the sixth and seventh Mech Divisions, which have just completed the miraculous strategic transfer, are also ready to fight again after a short rest. According to reports from frontline observers, the soldiers of the regular army are highly morale, well-trained, and still appear to be brave and good at fighting. Coupled with a fairly solid fortress, their behavior is no longer considered a battle between trapped beasts.
At the critical moment, it was Lufas Al Barrea who took another shot to stabilize the situation. He first accurately judged the movements of the 11th and 13th Mech Divisions, mobilized troops in advance, and prevented them from responding to the 3rd Mech Division's plan in the first time, which made the morale of the regular army frustrated. , And also figured out the reality of the opponent-the third mech division is moving towards the direction of Juno Fortress. Kane, who heard the news with a gloomy expression, listened to the quarrel of a group of officers and staff. Considering the feasibility of various coping strategies, he then agreed to the plan proposed by Rufas after the quarrel with the people. The two most elite special forces in Lamar State should be used to respond. The large forces bypass the Gillies Basin and cut off. Follow-up supplies of the regular army.
However, Lieutenant General Sykes Vander, who is known as a wise general, also guessed Rufas' intentions when the first report came from the front sentinel. In order to maintain a balance between responding to the friendly forces and preserving vital forces, after thinking for a while, Lieutenant General Sykes decided that Xue Zang had the most elite brigades under his hand, and sent some infantry teams to open the defense line and make an important request. In this stalemate. The rest of the regular army officers who received the report from Lieutenant General Sykes knew it well and immediately released the news that the army was about to move to the north to rescue them, forcing Duke Kane to abandon the previous plan and accept it as soon as possible.
After several such brief trials and confrontations, a kind of staff under Kane had surprisingly reached an agreement that the regular army no longer had fighting spirit and strategic disadvantage. If this continues, the morale will be wiped out by the noble army in Lamar State. Therefore, Duke Kane needs to make a decision: either, let the aristocratic army of the Lamar defense line deliberately make an opening, let the troops of Sykes in, risking the relatively stable since the beginning of the civil war, and the Marquis of Rogner The risk of being invaded in the direction of the border, try to eliminate the active force of the third mech division-strategically, the noble army at this time needs a big victory that can be achieved to boost the morale of the army, and the third machine The Division A is undoubtedly qualified for this qualification.
If Duke Kane does not have the courage to break his arms and is unwilling to risk his own territory and put the enemy into encirclement, then this stalemate will continue, which is absolutely good for the regular army. In this regard, Duke Kane was also very entangled-until earlier in the day, the news that Vita Clotide brought to him made him make the decision he regretted very much afterwards.
"According to the report from the "Association"... "The Big Green Tree" has disappeared. Our plan can continue to move forward. "Weita's smile seemed to be a little bit dangerous to Rufas, and Duke Kane didn't seem to notice the latter's dissatisfaction. Since weita came back a few days ago, he was caught by Roger at the time. The Marquis of Na had suffered a big loss from the bickering, and he was scolded by the Duke Kane as a punching bag, and it seemed to have been like this.
"In that case... everything should follow Miss Witch's plan." Gong Kane put on a flattering smile-maybe he was also apologizing for the gaffe that day. In fact, Vita had expected that day that Guild Kane would ridicule herself, but because she was mentally prepared, she was not affected much. However, Clos, who heard about it, was very dissatisfied with it-similar rumors spread on the ship, and Duke Kane woke up in time, but couldn't hold back his face to apologize, so he had to express it in this way Kindness-I just don't know if Vita will feel good about it.
"Your Excellency... Is this really good?" Lufas on the side looked at the two quietly, "Although I don't think the success rate of this operation plan is very low, I also understand that you don't want to let this large-scale The battle took place in his own territory... but with all due respect, our supply line in the southern direction of Nautia State is actually not stable enough. If we just spread the battle line in the imperial capital like this..."
"Lu Fa Siqing, I have been thinking about your words for a long time...Since you said that we need a big victory to reverse the morale slump, I think it is better to kill two birds with one stone and attack each other strategically by the way. Look at this. He took out a document with the words "Confidential" written on the outside package, and then handed it to Rufas with joy.
"...So that's the case... It's from the side of Haines..." Rufas' brows flashed with an imperceptible doubt, and then quickly disappeared, "It's true... if they circled to the southeast. Yes, there is no need to worry about the reinforcements of the Fifth Mech Division... It’s just that, I remember that the regular army rebellion in the Marquis of Haines seems to have not been eliminated. Whether he can come up with so many soldiers to cooperate with our plan ...Actually I am skeptical."
