Chapter 437 Stand still
City of glaciers.

This is the closest medium-sized city in the upper reaches to the middle reaches. In order to be able to launch a war against the middle reaches as soon as possible, the Imperial Army's headquarters has now moved here from the City of Black Gold.

at this time.

Two members of the reconnaissance battalion dressed in black were giving Eskar a battle report. This report was naturally from the middle and lower reaches of the region, about the war between Vega and the Crown Prince.

"Report to the commander."

One of the black-clad scouts handed a clearly organized written report to Eskar and said, "The war between Brigadier General Vega and the West Coast regime of the Dynasty has already begun. The two sides use the Holy City of Gangti and the City of Moonlight as their defense line, facing each other across the mountains."

"What's the specific situation?"

Eskar asked as he flipped open the written report.

The scouts did not dare to neglect it. Another member of the team immediately stepped forward and said, "On the night of the 14th, 1.5 soldiers under Brigadier General Vega went east out of the Yuexi Mountains, attempting to bypass the Yuexi Mountains and attack the north gate of Yuexi City, but were discovered in advance by the West Coast of the Dynasty. This army was first attacked by the Air Force, and then when retreating to the Ethiopian Grand Canyon, the entrance and exit were blocked by the Dynasty Army, and no one survived."

"No one survived?"

Eskar grinned and said in disbelief, "I didn't expect that the always shrewd Brigadier General Vega would make mistakes. But it's a good thing. Through his test, it directly proves that the main force of the dynasty on the west coast has been transferred to the downstream for defense. After all, it is difficult to wipe out an army of 1.5 people without ten times more troops."

It is easy to win, but difficult to annihilate.

In a war, it is easy to defeat the enemy and make them completely defeated, but it is quite difficult to annihilate the enemy completely and leave no one alive.

Therefore, after hearing this information, Eskar was certain that—

The main force on the west coast of the dynasty has been transferred downstream. If he takes the opportunity to send troops now, he will definitely be able to march directly into the city of Dunbu and stabilize the war situation on the west coast of the dynasty in the shortest time possible.

"Notify the entire army."

Eskar turned to his adjutant and said, "According to the original plan, we will launch a war against the midstream, and let the air force set off in advance to open up a path for us."

"Yes, Commander."

"and many more!"

The lieutenant was about to give the order, but Eskar stopped him again.

He thought for a while and said, "Let's send out the airborne troops first. This time we will test how the Kingdom's lightning tactics will be deployed."

"Commander, I have a question that I don't know if I should speak up or not."

"Tell me, you've been with me for so long, have you ever seen me being stubborn and self-willed?"

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

The adjutant asked in a puzzled tone: "Once the airborne corps is dispatched, if it is intercepted by the enemy's air force, won't all the previous efforts be wasted? After all, if the escort boat is destroyed, it will be difficult for the carrier airship to withstand the attack of the enemy airship."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Eskar chuckled, "Since the enemy's main force is downstream, the defense of the upstream area must be quite empty. Even if we march towards the city of Dunbu openly, the enemy has no air defense force to deal with us."

"Commander, you are wise."

The adjutant received the reply and sent it to each division according to Eskar's order.

on the second day.

The air force, fully loaded with soldiers, will set out from the Ice City and launch an attack on the middle reaches in about four days. This is because they have to coordinate the marching speed of the army, otherwise it can be even faster.

of course.

Including Eskar, no one doubted that this was a play put on by Vega and the Crown Prince. Because these were 15,000 lives, and they were elite soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles. Which commander would be willing to waste an entire division to stage such a self-torture trick?
Also, what is the strategy of inflicting pain on one's self?
Not to mention that there have never been similar wars, even the term has never appeared in this world.

Therefore, Vega's plan was very successful.

The imperial army has already moved its troops toward the middle reaches at the agreed time, and plans to formally launch an attack on the middle reaches on December 12.20 to completely quell the war situation on the west coast of the dynasty.

----

The great city of Donbu.

The eldest prince also received news of the imperial advance at this time.

He sneered and thought to himself, "Oh Empire, if we hadn't established an alliance with Lord Vega long ago, I'm afraid you would have beaten us all the way to the city of Dunbu and wiped us out."

"Give orders to the whole army."

Kaia Saint Laurent came back to his senses and gave an order to Ferry Gary in front of him: "You lead the Air Corps and the Third Army to set up a line of defense in advance to symbolically resist and lure the enemy into the interior. At that time, I will personally lead the army to set up an ambush in the Forest of Ino to pick you up. In the last period of my rule, I will make the empire suffer a great loss."

"Your Majesty, please think twice about going on a personal expedition."

Ferry Gary gave a symbolic piece of advice. He didn't know that Kaia had secretly sold the entire West Coast of the Dynasty to Vega, so he couldn't understand why Kaia had become so willful and reckless recently and always insisted on leading the army in person.

"Feile, I don't want you to stop me."

Kaia's tone became somewhat hostile, which made Felix, who was good at observing people's expressions, wake up and said quickly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will protect your safety even if I die."

"I feel relieved with your words, Feilie."

Kaiya nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Go and make the arrangements. This time, I must give the Imperial Army a good beating to vent my anger and let them know who is the master of this land."

"I understand, but there is still one thing I don't understand."

Ferry Gary's eyes flashed with doubt: "Is it really okay for us to transfer all the main forces from the downstream to the upstream? If that little devil launches an attack at this time, even if we defeat the imperial army, we will die at the hands of that little devil."

“The downstream will not launch an attack at this time.”

Kaiya said confidently: "This is the only thing I can guarantee you. You go and carry out the order. I will personally be in charge of the overall command of this war. I have my own plans in mind."

"I am resigning."

Ferre Gary seemed to understand something and left with a pale face.

at the same time.

Vega downstream also held an important meeting, this meeting was mainly about whether to continue the attack.

at the meeting.

A division commander stood up and said excitedly, "Commander, according to reliable intelligence, the Empire has already moved south to attack the middle reaches, and the enemy army also seemed to have withdrawn its main force to the upper reaches last night. If we launch an attack at this time, we will definitely be able to drive straight into the city of Dunbu and completely destroy the rebels on the west coast."

"This matter will be adjourned for further discussion."

"Commander, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."

Veigar raised his head and interrupted the other party: "The best action is to keep your troops in place."
