Chapter 827: Glory Falls
The war rages.

On the same day, the Jialan Army suddenly launched an attack on four important cities of the empire.

The methods of attack were exactly the same, using the air force to first attack the enemy's airport to kill the war airships in the cradle, and then using air magic support combined with the landing of the Air Force and Marines to paralyze the command system of the entire army.

Orders from superiors cannot be conveyed to subordinates.

Then even a bloated army of several million soldiers would be of no use, not to mention that each of the four cities only had 10 to 20 defenders. Among them, since Shelantu was in a safe rear, its defenders were only less than 5.

One side takes the enemy by surprise.

The other side was defenseless.

Under this premise, the Imperial Army suffered its most tragic defeat in history.

In Hausmann's rapid attack trilogy, the main strategic approach is not to occupy the city, but to annihilate the enemy.

After occupying Kareni, Hausmann adopted a strategy of disbanding the surrendered Imperial Army on the spot, avoiding the possibility of the Imperial Army reviving and regrouping.

Just in case.

Hausmann brutally executed all the middle and senior officers without sparing a single one, thereby further destroying the possibility of the enemy's counterattack.

Because officers are the core and brains of the army. Without the brain, no matter how strong the body is, it is just a pile of rotten meat.

Therefore, in less than seven days, the northern and eastern parts of the empire were declared to have fallen, and any city in the entire northern territory with more than 5,000 defenders was made the next major target and was attacked from all sides without any effort.

This also caused.

There is not a single fighting force in the entire north, and any resistance would be strangled by the Jialan Kingdom.

The same was true in the southeastern part of the empire.

With the fall of Erkia and Shelantu, large, medium and small cities surrendered one after another. In less than half a month, the Jialan Army had taken over the eastern half of the Nolan Empire.

If it was a normal invading army.

Then, after acquiring so much territory, they will slow down their pace, digest the newly occupied land, and remove some disobedient holdouts, especially sending troops to every small and medium-sized city to carry out management and "clean-up" work.

But Hausmann did not give up.

He was like a giant python trying to swallow an elephant in one bite. He only left a small number of garrisons in Kaleni and Lopus, and directly sent 400,000 troops and air forces to the outside of the central part of the empire, ready to launch an attack on the central part of the empire at any time.

Yes, it was too fast.

Hausmann demonstrated his speedy attack to the fullest. With the strategic goal of annihilating the enemy as the main goal and capturing cities as the secondary goal, he completely conquered 2/5 of the empire in less than days, and joined the Eastern Front, preparing to launch a fierce attack on the core central region.

----

The imperial capital, the immortal city.

Führer Eldir Nolan could never believe that this war report was true.

"How could it be so fast?"

Eldir's mind went blank. This speed of advancing the front line was unheard of and unseen before. It was as if yesterday was a sunny day, but today it became the end of the world, and he was not even given a chance to organize reinforcements.

boom!
He slammed the conference table heavily and shouted at the officers who had escaped from the eastern and northern fronts: "I clearly left a large number of defenders. Please tell me, why did you lose the city?!"

"My lord, please forgive me."

One of the brigadiers said in panic: "We never thought that the enemy would use air force as the main combat method. They were like a flash of lightning, without even giving us time to organize defense, and they won the victory directly."

"Where's the air force? Where's your air force?"

Eldir said angrily: "I left a total of four air forces in the north and east. Aren't four air forces enough for you to defend the city and hold out until reinforcements arrive?"

"Report to the Führer...Our air force was destroyed before it even left the airport."

An air force commander cried out in injustice: "Excuse me, the enemy has dispatched a total of eight air forces this time. Even if our air force takes off, it will not be able to reverse the entire battle situation." "Eight air forces?"

Eldir was a little bit unbelievable: "Where do the enemies get so many air forces?"

"Mr. Führer, it's time to update your ideas."

Foster interrupted at this time and said, "Don't forget that the Jialan Empire has the manufacturing technology of war airships and a complete war airship industry chain. After occupying the Old Kingdom, the industry chain there seems to have been taken over by Vega Saint Laurent."

"besides."

Foster said bluntly: "The territory of the Jialan Empire has always been ranked first in the world, which means that they have inexhaustible mineral resources for producing war airships, which is not on the same level as those in our north. From this point of view, it is natural for the Jialan Empire to have a huge air force, and I am afraid this is just the tip of the iceberg."

The words just fell.

A huge explosion suddenly echoed.

Immediately afterwards, the air raid sirens of the Immortal City and the Crystal Hub rose simultaneously.

This series of emergencies made the heads of state Eldir and Foster change their expressions.

"what's going on?"

As soon as Eldir finished speaking, a soldier rushed in and reported, "Mr. President, please take shelter in the air-raid shelter. An air force of the Jialan Empire is fighting with our Central Air Corps over the city."

"What are you avoiding?"

Eldir's face turned pale. He walked out of the meeting room and looked up at the sky.

Above the light green crystal hub shield, two air forces were fighting. It was obvious that the Imperial Central Air Corps' air force had destroyed nearly half of the enemy's war airships without losing a single one.

in short.

The Central Air Corps has an absolute upper hand.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the aviation corps of the Jialan Kingdom chose to flee at the first opportunity. However, seeing that the enemy was about to escape, the Central Aviation Corps chose to pursue them relentlessly and eventually wiped out the entire aviation corps of the Jialan Army.

But it was at the last moment.

A war airship of the Central Air Corps finally emitted black smoke and slowly crashed from the sky.

This is undoubtedly a huge victory.

A war airship in exchange for an aviation corps, there is no more profitable business in the world.

But the leaders Eldir and Foster did not show any joy at all. Rather, their faces were filled with humiliation, because this was the immortal city, the capital of the empire!

A capital city that has not experienced the baptism of war for thousands of years.

The Immortal City is known as the safest city in the world.

Just now, the air defense alarm was sounded for the first time. Especially the moment when the Central Air Corps' war airship crashed, it was a fatal blow to the morale of the entire city and even the whole country.

What fell was not the war airship, but the glory and dignity of the empire.

Although it seems incredible, there is indeed nothing wrong with it.

Just paying an air corps to make the whole city and even the whole country lose confidence, for Hausman, this deal is truly a huge profit.

For the first time in my life.

A chill rose behind Foster and Eldir.

It turns out that the unknown Haussmann Christian, after taking off the mask of incompetence, actually had such a creepy face, and his abominable appearance was comparable to that of Vega Saint Laurent.

Because this is murderous and heartbreaking.
