Chapter 287: Coming back reinforcements

Above the sky dome, an aerial duel is also in full swing. The two parties involved in the war formed high-performance assault boats and two garrison ships of the Kingdom of Liberty.
In terms of performance, the associated assault boats naturally far exceed the standard flying boats of the Royal Army. The result of the battle also reflects this to a certain extent. Although it is necessary to talk about the understanding of tactical coordination and the experience of air combat, the Kingdom Army has several grades far beyond the association, not to mention the experienced veteran general Morgan is personally directing this operation, but in the brief exchange of fire, it is found that it is very Difficult to get a tacit understanding, the tactical airship of Libel Airship wanted to escape as soon as he turned his head, and took advantage of his own speed to gradually open the distance.
"This direction...hehe, the abacus is pretty good, but it's all in my expectation." Looking at the airship drifting away on the radar chart, General Morgan snorted coldly, "Just continue like this. Pursue at full speed, notify the second and third teams to replenish our airspace, and the fourth team recovers to the lake."
"Yes!" The soldiers who did not question the old general's order faithfully executed the order. Soon, the guard boat, which had not exerted its maximum horsepower for a long time, began to accelerate after a heavy gasp.
"Fly another thousand Sel moments before slowing down, positioning the speed at 85% of the maximum cruising speed. At the same time, remember to guard the surrounding minefields... If I expected it, they must have changed their tactics and wanted to lead us into theirs. ambush."
"That's it...that's why you sent the fourth group to support you?" The adjutant who saw the old general's winning expression also showed a triumphant smile, "Brigadier General Cassius and the guerrillas are working hard... We must not lose either."

Other regions have large-scale military units dispatched by associations, so the capital city, which is the economic and political center of the entire country, is no exception. Rather, the king is the most threatened. The number of humanoid weapons far surpassed the surrounding cities was constantly pouring in from all directions, attacking the weather-beaten gates of the royal capital.
Fortunately, Cassius was prepared for this, and the army around the capital was unprecedentedly strong under his dispatch. Lieutenant Colonel Sid worked day and night to establish a complete defense system and facilities for the outer city. The guards and elite army divisions closely guarded the main roads everywhere, and the soldiers of the squad also patrolled or reinforced them according to the route. In addition, Cassius, the of war in the minds of Liber Kingdom soldiers, personally sits in the Reston Fortress to take command, and he can be sure of nothing.
"The humanoid weapons of the royal capital Simon have all been wiped out. No one died on our side. Only ten soldiers were seriously injured and some minor injuries. They have been transferred to battlefield medical care for emergency treatment and treatment." Cassius was in the fortress. Reading the pile of documents at the desk, while listening to the report of the defending troops on the communicator.
"Thank you." While signing his own guidance on a document, he issued an order to the communication end: "Transfer a quarter of the troops to the mountains near the north gate for rotation and rest. The soldiers will do another round. Then there will be another team of soldiers to reinforce you."
Hung up the communicator and looked at the report in front of him, the sad expression between Cassius' eyebrows and his eyebrows remained undiminished: "The king's capital has been withstood... but the ark has not yet..."
"Your Excellency, Brigadier General." The adjutant who handed over the report saw Cassius with a strange look, and asked unceremoniously: "Association is just a criminal organization, so how can we be worthy of being an opponent of our Kingdom Army? ?"
"Don't be careless." Cassius gave him a blank look, thinking that you newcomers who don't know the size of the world understand the horror of association. "Except for the four detachments directly commanded by General Morgan, the rest of the security boats must continue to step up. If there are any signs of the Ark’s search, report it to me immediately."
"Yes." Although his heart is filled with confusion, Cassius' words are still like imperial edicts to these young people who grew up listening to his story. Moreover, since he took office, the situation within the Kingdom Army has improved significantly. Therefore, He also no longer struggled, and faithfully executed the order.
"Also, issue this urgent order everywhere without delay." After the officer left, Cassius slowly leaned back in his chair, "I hope the boy Heliga told me. Things won’t really happen...In that case, this trump card is...but all kinds of intelligence show..."
After thinking about it for a long time, Cassius finally made a certain determination and picked up a communicator he had never used before—"He was right. They need their power now."
"Your Excellency Brigadier General?" As soon as he was connected, there was a voice of fear and sincerity—obviously, this young man also felt a great responsibility for the work of this special line operator.
"Haha, don't be so nervous." He reassured, "It was my fault that I didn't make an appointment beforehand, but now the situation is urgent and I can't take care of that much. You... go and call him."

"I..." Somewhere in a secret detention room, Richard in a prison uniform was listening to the concerned words on the communicator, while showing a dilemma: "Your Excellency, is this... appropriate?"
"No one is more suitable than you. Listen, Richard..." The voice from over there is no doubt, "I know your love for this country better than anyone else, and it is precisely because this is both an advantage and also A weak character, you will be used by an adulterer like Wiseman... Your sins, even if your majesty and I forgive you, you will not forgive yourself. I know that...but. "Cassius increased his tone and interrupted Richard, who wanted to say something. "But I also told you the situation now. It is really critical now. For this we need everyone to contribute him. Regardless of self-blame or entanglement, let’s wait until the matter is over. In any case, you are my most proud disciple. Even I admire your sincerity for this country. . So... guarding Libel and guarding this country is what you and I should focus on now."
"...You are right, sir." Richard was taken aback, and Cassius awakened the dreamer, "Atonement or guilt... All of this will have to wait until the kingdom welcomes peace... But..." After thinking about it, Richard found another problem, "I am no longer a colonel...The Intelligence Department no longer exists, even if my sword skills are still a little bit different, I can face it. How can I help in this situation?"
"Your answer is here, Colonel." Cassius didn't respond, but a happy voice came from behind Richard—he looked back abruptly. His former adjutant, Kenona, was facing. Looking at himself with a smile.
