Chapter 134 The bombing is over
The magical bombardment continues.

But no matter how loud the explosions outside were, the air-raid shelter remained as still as a mountain.

by understanding.

Vega roughly knew the basic situation of Wolf Ede, the commander of the 5nd Regiment of the 87th Division A2 Brigade.

The A87 Brigade and the A91 Brigade where Vega is located are both newly built standard brigades.

The regiment has a total of 1500 ordinary soldiers, a direct professional squadron, and several professional officers.

The reason they came here was because the 2nd Regiment participated in the combat mission against the General Administration of Law Enforcement, but before they received the order to charge, they were bombed by the magic airship.

Since the 2nd Regiment was positioned at the rear, he immediately ordered a retreat.

It was precisely because of the timely retreat that the 2nd Regiment withdrew from the bombing area with almost zero casualties.

Wolfe's war mind was still quite clear.

He knew that if he wanted to survive the bombing of the war airship, his only chance of survival was to go to the air-raid shelter.

So he led his troops to the air-raid shelter.

But as soon as he arrived at the air-raid shelter, he found that it had been occupied by the enemy's airborne troops. As a result, they were instantly surrounded by the enemy. The enemy also had magicians who could provide fire support at any time, so the 2nd Regiment was forced to become prisoners.

After becoming a prisoner, Wolfe did not expect that the Kingdom Army actually violated the international convention. Not only did they execute the entire professional squadron, they also killed all the professional officers and captured him alone to interrogate him for intelligence.

Wolfe is tight-lipped.

Even after being tortured extremely badly and even losing two fingers, he did not reveal how many secret air-defense points the Third Army had, and Commander-in-Chief Foster might be hiding in one of these secret air-defense points.

Vega saluted Wolf Eder with a standard military salute.

His eyes were full of admiration. Being able to hold on under the enemy's torture required great perseverance. "Captain Vega of the A91 Brigade Professional Battalion salutes you."

“Captain Vega, you’re too polite. He’s just a defeated general.” Wolf said with a wry smile.

Vega hurriedly comforted Wolfe, then ordered the military doctor to bandage and treat Wolfe. After everything was done, Vega began to discuss the follow-up plan with Wolfe.

"Captain Vega, you came out from the front line. What is the current situation?"

"The magician and professional troops were heavily bombarded."

Vega glanced outside the door and said, "My army originally had 120 professionals, but now there are less than 40 left. I'm afraid the other professional teams are not much better. As for the magician team, it goes without saying that they are the most important targets."

"That means we have no reinforcements?" Wolf frowned.

"Yes."

Vega affirmed: "Not only are there no reinforcements, but I only repelled the Kingdom Army's airborne troops that occupied this place. Once they regroup, they will probably come to retake the air-raid shelter. The best we can do is stay here until the bombing is over."

“What does Captain Vega mean?”

Vega said firmly: "What I mean is, wait until the bombing is over and go to the headquarters. I think the commander-in-chief will not die in a mere magic bombing. Besides, there are many air-raid shelters throughout the military camp. If there is a large-scale counterattack force in Kaleini, it must be the headquarters."

"Perhaps what your Excellency said is not wrong."

Wolfe hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the dazed civilians outside the door and said, "But what about these civilians? We are soldiers of the empire. Are we going to abandon the civilians and run away alone? What if the Kingdom Army kills them..."

"Captain Wolfe!"

Veigar slapped Kareni's map. "We can't protect ourselves now. If we continue to stay here after the bombing, we will not only fail to protect the civilians, but also destroy our troops. Besides, the enemy didn't harm the civilians before, right?"

"That being said..." Wolfe hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, I agree with your plan. Once the magic bombing is over, we will immediately head towards the headquarters."

"Smart move."

Vega nodded. "Then I won't bother you from organizing your troops. I'll have someone notify you before we set off."

creak-

After closing the door, Vega let out a long breath.

After taking a huge risk to capture the air-raid shelter, there was finally a little reward.

As long as they had this regimental-level force, the chances of breaking through from the central area to the northern area would be more than 10%. As for whether the general command headquarters still had a large amount of counterattack force as speculated, Vega didn't care about that at all.

He was just fooling Wolfe.

Because the headquarters is the closest to the city gate, as long as he can reach the North District Headquarters, then even if the headquarters has lost all the power to fight back, with his ability as a shadow mage, he can find a chance to escape from Kalini.

Stay in Kareni?
Even if the Third Army still has the power to counterattack, under such sudden and intensive magic bombing, there probably won't be many troops left to counterattack, not to mention that even air superiority has been lost.

The battle has already been lost, and there is no chance of turning defeat into victory.

The enemy's airborne troops will only increase in number as time goes by. There is no other possibility for him to stay in Kareni except death. In order to survive, he must escape from here at all costs.

If even the safety of life cannot be guaranteed, what's the point of talking about power and status, or a smooth life?

Only if he escaped from Kareni, or even from the Northern Front, with all the honors he had won, he could be immediately trained as a senior officer no matter which unit he joined, because the defeat of Kareni and even the Northern Front was not his fault.

His Imperial Wings' authority was only frozen, but his honor was still retained. In addition, the city-level surname of Kareni was enough for him to make a comeback in any army.

In order to achieve this goal.

Even if he deceived Wolfe and dragged 1500 people as cannon fodder, he would not hesitate. In fact, there was only one way out. Staying in the central area would only delay the time of death.

The magic bombing lasted until 4 a.m.

When Vega and Wolf walked out of the air-raid shelter, the haze over Kareni finally dissipated. Through the bleak moonlight, Vega saw the devastation on the ground, the crackling flames, and... the smell of corpses in the air.

Carlini is finished.

The once important city in the north was burned down in less than 8 hours.

No time to take care of these.

Vega said to Wolfe, "We must hurry to the North District as soon as possible, as the bombing has just ended and the Royal Army's airborne troops have not yet started their sweep. Otherwise, by the time they come to their senses, we will be surrounded."

"Everyone, move forward."

Wolfe didn't waste any words. He shouted behind him and the entire army began to march towards the north district.

The entire team marched very quickly, passing through the dilapidated alleys and walking on the bumpy streets.

After walking for about an hour and a half, we were almost reaching the edge of the central area.

It can be seen that the area around here has not suffered from large-scale magical bombardment, the basic buildings are well preserved, and they have not encountered any enemy troops along the way.

If everything goes well.

At this speed, we will soon be able to leave the central area and return to the northern area of ​​​​Kareni.
