Chapter 836 Unaware of the ghost
The periphery of the central empire.

Haussmann's 400,000 troops were stationed here.

But for more than ten days, he was kept out of the army's cradle, Sobi City, and could not make any progress.

Now he has a terrible headache.

Originally, it was thought that by taking over the northeastern region centered on Kareni, the northwest centered on the City of War, and the southeast centered on Erkia, and by shaking the confidence of the empire, a four-pronged approach would surely be able to defeat the imperial army in one fell swoop.

But now it seems that the war situation is more serious than imagined.

After all, the empire has too deep a foundation. Even if the entire army has no morale, relying on thousands of years of historical accumulation, it can still use strong "hardware" to keep him out, making it impossible to force a breakthrough in a short period of time.

"The rhythm is going to break."

Hausman's worst fear is happening, and he is powerless to stop it.

The purpose of a quick attack is to make the enemy lose their breath, and then kill them with a slap.

Once the rhythm is interrupted, giving the enemy enough time to get rid of your offensive rhythm, it means that this war will have to stop here. The enemy will use watertight defense to make you return empty-handed.

Reality is also moving in this direction.

Having gained a chance to catch its breath, the empire has made up for its weak points one by one in the past ten days. The iron wall built around the three cities can no longer be broken through by the mere one million troops of the Jialan Kingdom.

Now even if the Jialan Army triples in size.

The imperial army is also confident that it can defend until the ice and snow melt next year and the western army invades the Kingdom of Jialan.

of course.

Thanks to the huge advantage Hausman had previously gained, the Empire had no way to retreat, and it did not dare to take the initiative to leave the city to delay the Galan Army.

But how could Hausmann be satisfied with just this?

He had promised Vega at the beginning that he would take over the entire empire.

Therefore, although this battle situation was unexpected, he did make some worst-case plans -

When it is impossible to achieve the goal, Vega is forced to use the War Race.

Therefore, all he could do now was to wait, waiting for Vega to be ready to use the war seed.

Although the Empire also guessed that the Jialan Kingdom might use the war species.

However, the generals of the imperial army and the western countries were able to put their minds at ease.

"The war situation is finally developing in the direction we want to see."

"The enemy's offensive has stopped here."

Eldir and Foster smiled at each other, happy that they were able to break away from the enemy's rhythm.

As long as we don't fall into a breathless offensive rhythm, there is always a way to solve the issue of war seeds. After all, the war seeds are limited. Once all the war seeds are used here, what should we do with the war next year?

Compared to attacking with war seeds.

The Empire believes that half of the Kingdom of Jialan may be used for defense next year.

Regardless of whether it is ultimately used for defense, being able to consume one of the enemy's trump cards will increase your chances of winning by 10%.

"We still can't take it lightly."

Eldir once again showed his cautious character: "I want you to pay close attention to the movements of the Jialan Army, and at the same time strengthen the central defense line, especially at the weak points. You must not give the Jialan Army any breakthroughs."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency."

Foster assured, "We have sent people to do intelligence work. At present, the enemy's troops in three directions have been blocked by us. There is absolutely no possibility of breaking through the defense line. I think the initiative is now in our hands. I would like to ask the leader, if the enemy wants to retreat, should we stay or not?"

Delay the Jialan Army.

When the western countries arrive next year, the Kingdom of Jialan will collapse without a fight.

Eldir certainly knew this, but he did not agree: "If the Jialan Kingdom wants to retreat, let them go, because it is not ruled out that they are luring us out of the city, and it is not ruled out that they will use war as a desperate measure. We should be cautious in everything." "Yes, Your Excellency."

If this had happened in the past, Foster would have definitely thought that Eldir was timid, but this time he surprisingly did not refute and instead agreed with Eldir's point of view.

the other side.

After receiving the latest war reports, the Western countries also relaxed.

"The Jialan Nation is really overestimating its capabilities by wanting to destroy the empire in four months."

"The Jialan Kingdom has used up all its three weapons, and will most likely retreat next."

"The Empire should hold back the Jialan Army at this time, and we will surely win without a fight next year."

"..."

While gloating over the disaster, Western countries began to imagine how to win the war next year.

However, just when Hausman was waiting for Vega to be ready to use the war species.

Vega's order was delivered to Hausman.

At first, Hausman thought that Vega had already made up his mind and sent a letter to inform him.

But when he opened the secret letter, he found that it was not the case.

This secret order detailed the next offensive plan and required Hausman to cooperate.

"Good good!"

A few minutes later, Hausman said three good words in a row.

Use the navy to land in the southwest hinterland and launch a surprise attack on the Empire's Shield City, Xila, from a safe rear.

He certainly hadn't thought of such a plan.

Because the continent is surrounded by sea water, this commonplace thing has become the most easily overlooked condition for victory.

Even he didn't notice it, let alone the imperial army whose territory is basically not on the sea.

Therefore, Hausmann believed that this plan had great potential and was even more practical than using war to forcibly break through the city.

"Huh? Who is Elina Anistora?"

Hausman discovered that the owner of the plan was not Vega, but a person named Elina.

"This Elina Anistra is... a war species?!"

Hausman finally remembered the name: "I never thought... I'm not even as good as a little girl. Now I'm beginning to look forward to what expression the empire will have when he finds out that he was defeated by an unknown little girl."

With evil thoughts.

Hausman followed the order and began to cooperate with Vega in the battle.

As for how to coordinate, it was very simple. He only needed to order the three armies to launch attacks on the three cities continuously every day. The empire would naturally be attracted here, fearing that there would be loopholes somewhere, and would not pay attention to the safety of the rear.

The facts are just as Hausman said.

The Galan Army launched an attack on three fronts at the same time. The Empire immediately became suspicious, thinking that the Galan Army had discovered some loopholes. It immediately organized a staff to investigate overnight, and even Foster and Eldir joined in.

This also caused them to not notice that the Dragon Sea was already surging.

The stalemate reached its twentieth day.

The army of the Jialan Kingdom had already reached an uninhabited island near the coastal city in the southwest of the empire without anyone noticing.

The role of the Word Spirit Mage is highlighted here.

They can accurately predict which day will be foggy and which day will not be foggy. Thanks to the Word Spirit Mage, they were able to get here safely. And now according to the Word Spirit Mage's prediction, a heavy fog will cover the nearby sea in two days.
