Chapter 826 Quick Attack
dong dong dong-

Kareni, an important city in the north, and Lopus.

The important cities in the east are Erkia and Shelantu.

On this day without any smell of gunpowder, a long-lasting alarm bell rang out.

"War airship! It's a war airship!"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, the war airship of the Jialan Army is coming!"

"Quick, notify the general to open the crystal hub!"

"..."

The soldiers were in chaos; this sudden blow made them panic to the extreme.

Kaleni City Command Center.

The city garrison commander, Lieutenant General Sencibari Edin, hurriedly got up from his warm bed and ran to the meeting room without even having time to put on his military uniform. His face was extremely pale, without a trace of blood.

"It's okay. It'll be fine."

Lieutenant General Sencibari Edin constantly consoled himself: "Kareni still has 200,000 defenders, two air forces, and a crystal hub for air defense. Even if the enemy has 400,000 troops, they won't be able to take Kareni City in a short time."

"Yes, that must be the case."

Arriving at the conference room, Sencibari Edin, who was sitting in the main seat, kept shaking his right hand: "The Jialan Army is courting its own death this time. As long as we hold out until the arrival of reinforcements from the central region and keep the Jialan Army here, we can win the war next year without fighting."

"It must be like this!"

Repeating this sentence again, Sencibari Edin's eyes were bloodshot: "Absolutely, absolutely, it is not wrong. As long as I can hold back the Jialan Army, I will be the biggest hero of this battle, and I will be promoted to a higher position."

Boom boom boom——

Just at this moment, a series of flames hit the roof of the underground conference room, and the command building on the ground was probably razed to the ground.

Sencibari Edin could no longer suppress his anxiety. He shouted to the brigadier general beside him: "What are the city defense forces in the core control area of ​​the Crystal Hub doing? Why haven't they opened the Crystal Hub yet? We must ensure the safety of Kalenyi's airspace, otherwise the command from the headquarters will not be conveyed at all!"

"General."

The brigadier general also looked pale as he said, "Just now, the crystal hub has been completely destroyed by the enemy... I'm afraid it's no longer possible to rely on the crystal hub to ensure the safety of our airspace."

"what?"

Sencibari Edin stood up and grabbed the collar of another brigadier general. "Asshole, how did you do your intelligence work? You actually let the enemy sneak into the city openly and let them destroy the crystal hub!"

"Commander, this is unjust."

The short intelligence chief shouted, "You were the one who said that the Jialan Army would never attack first, and you ordered the lifting of the city ban. Recently, many merchants have been coming in and out, and it is difficult to check every detail. They probably sneaked in at that time."

"waste!"

Sencibari Edin threw the Minister of Intelligence to the ground.

He also understood that strictly speaking, the intelligence minister was not to blame for this matter, because after the city ban was lifted, the number of people coming in and out of a city with a population of tens of millions would be astronomical.

In addition, the entire army from top to bottom was quite lax.

At this time, the defenders were too lazy to conduct strict checks on people entering the city, so it was easy for the enemy to sneak into the city.

It would be different if it were put on combat readiness.

First, the city will be closed directly, and people are allowed to leave but not enter. Then, the intelligence department will spend a lot of time to check the people who have recently entered the city. Under the detection of professional magic props, anyone with magic power will never escape the eyes of the intelligence personnel, so the threat can be minimized. However, since it is certain that the Jialan Army will not attack.

Even the screening work before entering the city is carried out by random checks, not to mention these more complicated tasks.

"Calm down, calm down."

Although he was distracted by the roar of magic on the ground, Sencibari Edin kept reminding himself to calm down. He said in a calmer tone, "Without the Crystal Hub, we still have the Air Force to fight back. Send people to break through the command center's magic bombing circle and get Major General Rupert to the airport to mobilize. We need him to find a way to get the war airship into the air and regain our air superiority."

"Commander... I have never told you..."

The head of the Intelligence Department got up from the ground in a panic and said tremblingly: "The enemy's actions this time were so fast that we didn't even have time to react. On the one hand, we didn't expect them to attack, and on the other hand, they adopted a combat system that mainly relied on the air force..."

Having said that, the Minister of Intelligence looked at Sendsbari Edin in panic.

"Keep talking."

Senzbari Edin had a bad feeling.

Everything turned out just as he expected. The intelligence chief said cautiously, "That is to say, our air force was completely destroyed by the enemy before it even left the airport. Moreover, the enemy's air force and marines have officially landed from the war airships and have focused on attacking our headquarters at all levels. Now the entire military command system has been paralyzed, and the enemy's army is probably about to arrive."

"What kind of speed is this?"

After hearing the news, Sendjibari Edin almost fainted.

Everything happened so fast that he didn't even have the chance to activate the emergency plan.

In less than three hours from the beginning of the war to now, the Crystal Hub was destroyed, the Kareni City Air Force was completely wiped out, and the command system from top to bottom was completely paralyzed before the 200,000 defenders could really exert their strength. The army at all levels is now probably surrounded in the air-raid shelter, and the only option waiting for them is surrender...

Familiar, too familiar.

Such a scene was all too familiar to the generals defending the city of Kareni.

Division Commander Olcott Owen, who had experienced the first fall of Kareni, murmured to himself: "The tactic used by the Kingdom to capture Kareni City was the same tactic used by the United Kingdom to capture Kareni City. And this time it was faster and more accurate than that time!"

A feeling of despair spread throughout the isolated command center.

Just as the so-called unbreakable Kareni fell into the hands of the kingdom, this war was almost a replica of the United Kingdom's blitzkrieg at the time, and it was more precise and faster than that time.

The scariest thing is...

This time the enemy is the Galan Empire, which is even more terrifying than the United Kingdom. Their army strength is definitely not comparable to that of the United Kingdom at the time. Once the army enters the city, the war is a foregone conclusion.

A desperate comeback?

The most despairing thing is that the hero who led Kareni City to a comeback is on the opposite side this time.

Do you want to use guerrilla warfare again in front of him?
This is probably no different from showing off one's skills in front of an expert.

As for praying for a new hero to appear and save them? The chance of such a thing happening once is already one in a billion, and not everyone is Vega Kareni.

Therefore, each of them knew that the battle was lost, and the defeat was complete.

Now they can only pin their hopes on the air force base in Ropes City. As long as the air force there comes to support them, they will definitely be able to regain air superiority. As long as they gain air superiority, there is still a glimmer of hope...

But what they don't know is.

The superpower that owns the territories of the Old Dynasty, the Old Kingdom, and the Principality of Baya is not like the United Kingdom that only has the strength to fight a single front. This time it is a four-front war... No! Add the northwest that has not yet started, that means a five-front war.
