Chapter 561 Confusing
the next day.

When the dawn broke through the night and shone upon the city of Lopus again, the dynasty's army had already returned.

It was not until this time that the soldiers and civilians of the empire dared to emerge from the air-raid shelters to take a look at this familiar yet extremely unfamiliar city, and the dawn that rose as usual every day.

The sunrise in Ropes is always beautiful.

But it was not until after the baptism of war that the civilians and soldiers here realized how fortunate they were to see this ray of light, and how precious peace was to the city of Ropes.

creak creak-

The charred land of the military airport slowly opened up from both sides, and war airships slowly rose from the ground, and finally all rose into the sky of Lopus. This indicated that the empire had finally regained the air supremacy over the city of Lopus, but now no one was competing with them for this air supremacy.

When air supremacy was regained.

Only then did Foster dare to come out of the underground military air-raid shelter.

He looked around and found ruins everywhere. Overnight, the city of Lopus had lost countless resources and property under the bombing of the dynasty army.

Fortunately, due to the city's complete air defense facilities, no casualties were caused.

But Foster could already guess that Vega probably used the air force to airlift soldiers to the Ropus Grand Canyon for stationing, because it was the closest to the city of Ropus and was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the Empire's air force had no way to deal with it.

Walk all the way back to the headquarters.

Foster could see soldiers along the way helping civilians rebuild their homes, but both soldiers and civilians had numb eyes, as if they were still unable to accept the reality.

"After this battle, morale is completely lost."

Foster shook his head regretfully. Although this army had no casualties now, its combat effectiveness would probably be reduced by more than 30% if a real battle broke out. After all, morale played an indispensable role in any war.

Return to headquarters.

Foster didn't have time to regret like everyone else. As a commander, he had to hold on and issue the most effective orders at this time.

"I need current war intelligence."

Foster asked the head of the reconnaissance team for information, and the head of the reconnaissance team seemed to be well prepared. He immediately came up to report: "The latest intelligence, Wang Chao airlifted 300,000 troops to the vicinity of the Ropus Grand Canyon last night, and attacked the Ropus Grand Canyon when our army was unprepared. The defenders fled within two hours."

After listening to the report, Foster showed no surprise.

Everything was just as he had expected, and Vega had indeed occupied the Lopus Canyon.

Then, following this clue, we can easily know that Vega wants to capture the city of Ropus before winter comes and completely control the north.

So what to do now?
Unfortunately, Foster had no means of response, and he didn't even have the confidence that he could defend the city of Ropes until winter.

It seems to be affected by the atmosphere of the whole city.

Foster could only passively issue a few simple orders: "Recall the soldiers on the Ropes River and other defense lines, and notify the trial system to arrest the group that attacked the airport last night. I don't want a fire to break out in the rear again at a critical moment. I'm afraid we will have to defend Ropes City to the death."

"Yes, Commander."

After watching the leader of the reconnaissance regiment leave, Foster closed his eyes.

He had lost all idea about this war, and at this moment he realized that he was really old. Facing Vega's endless tricks, he was completely defenseless.

Until this moment.

Foster realized how terrifying it was to become Vega's enemy. Unfortunately, he was in the dark in Kareni City and could not feel the despair of the dynasty army when facing Vega. Otherwise, he would not have forced Vega away for his own selfish reasons. Who would have thought that a small lieutenant at that time had such an unprecedented talent?

Regret is indeed useless. Even if he is mentally broken by the beating, he must hold on to the city of Ropus, because as long as the city survives, the people survive, and if the city is destroyed, the people die.

----

Different from the decadence here.

After settling the soldiers, Vega began to order the entire army to build a temporary airport as quickly as possible.

To fight the war of Kareni head-on, we absolutely cannot do without the cover of the air force. Once the entire temporary airport is successfully built, it will be the time for 300,000 troops to attack the city.

There was no need to think hard about any conspiracy this time.

Because the city of Ropes was built in modern times, there is no crystal hub. Under this premise, it is entirely possible to capture the city of Ropes through direct battles between army and army, and air force and air force.

Rather than saying that a head-on battle was stupid, it would be more accurate to say that Vega did this on purpose.

Because these 300,000 surrendered soldiers of the empire could not be brought back to the dynasty after all. If the city of Ropus could not be captured before the arrival of winter, and if all of these troops could not be killed, these 300,000 soldiers might be abandoned in the empire and used by the empire again.

Therefore, Vega planned to attack the city of Ropus head-on with 300,000 soldiers at all costs.

If they really cannot capture Ropes City before winter, most of the 300,000 soldiers will probably die. In a life-for-life situation, the 270,000 soldiers in Ropes City will probably not be much better off, which will weaken the strength of the empire.

Therefore.

Vega planned to take a head-on approach and let them fight each other. No matter who died on either side, it would not be bad news for Vega, it could even be said to be good news.

Ever since Vega learned the Empire's trump card.

He already understood that everything he had taken today would have to be returned sooner or later. As long as the empire was not destroyed, the soldiers of this nationality would be his enemies.

Let’s not talk about the distant ones for now.

Now, because Vega is focused on building a temporary airport and Foster has been beaten to a pulp, the North has fallen into a period of silence again. This silence will probably last for another half a month because it will take about 15 days to build a temporary airport.

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

With the whole world at war, unexpected things can happen at any time.

At this critical period.

What Vega never expected was that the covenant of the allied countries was torn up in advance.

It was only a matter of time before the covenant was torn up, and Vega certainly knew that. Especially since the Free Alliance was under tremendous pressure from the West, it would definitely be the first to tear up the treaty and withdraw from the existence of the covenant countries.

But this was exactly what Vega had expected.

The first to break the alliance was not the Free League, but the United Kingdom, which had been clamoring to be the vanguard before the war.

Before this.

Vega believed that the Free Alliance, the Principality of Baya, and even himself might tear up the treaty and withdraw from the Allied Powers in advance, but he did not think that the United Kingdom would suddenly withdraw from the Allied Powers.

This is not logical at all.

Because the United Kingdom has already staked everything on one fight and used all its national strength to fight a desperate battle with the Empire. That is to say, other countries have a way out, but the United Kingdom has absolutely no way out. But what is their intention in suddenly withdrawing from the Covenant?
