Chapter VI The Situation

In Shu Huaze's living room, there was silence, everyone held their breath, and their eyes were focused on Li En, who was concentrating on debugging the communication machine.

With Lien's operation, the earpiece of the communicator sounded from time to time with the "sizzle" of the change of the frequency band of the guide wave.

When Lane pressed the last button, the "sizzle" turned into a short beep.

After a series of short beeps, a magnetic male voice came from the earpiece.

"This is Olivier."

"It's me, Dawn Schwarzer."

There was a ten-second silence, and there was a tremor in Olivebat's voice, "Awake?"

"yes." Lien's tone was not without embarrassment.

"When?"

"A few hours ago."

"It's been a long night's sleep, a lot of things have happened during the time you've been sleeping, and the whole empire has changed."

"That's why I'm contacting you to find out what's going on."

"Oops, hey, if there is no big deal, you will hang up immediately." After confirming that Lane is unharmed, Oliebat reverts to his old ways.

"Of course, what to say to you as a man." Lane scolded with a smile.

"My dear friend, you are so ruthless~"

"Huh." The familiar chuckle is delicate and narrow.

"Lane, next to you is"

"Your sister. Come, Elphin, and say a few words to your brother. ”

"Brother, I'm Elfin."

"Ah~ya~ My lovely sister, it's nice to hear your voice,."

"Hehe, so do I."

"Listening to the voice, you seem to be having a good time."

"No, my brother seems to be the same."

"Hahahaha."

"Hehehehe."

The brother and sister burst out laughing at the same time.

Even though one is on the battlefield, accompanied by blood and fire all day long, and the other is in a foreign land, with panic in their hearts, the two are still optimistic, still positive, and still never give up hope!

The siblings' hearts shine as brightly as their hair.

"Lien, take care of my sister, if you suffer any grievances, I will ask you."

"Don't worry, be careful yourself. I don't know where you are, but I'm sure it won't be a safe place, in a word—don't die. ”

"The world is so beautiful, I haven't lived enough, how can I die?" The standard Aogua answer, "Unless you are drunk and dream of death!" ”

"Drunken dreams of death, the two sisters have converged with you?"

"Mmmm, Sheila is my bodyguard, Aina is my secretary, we are the Golden Triangle, don't envy me too much."

"Okay, that's all for jokes, tell me about the current situation."

"Due to the surprise attack of the noble alliance and the division strategy proposed by the General Staff Lufas, nearly twenty divisions of the regular army were divided and surrounded, and fell into a chaotic situation of scattered sand fighting separately. At present, the alliance of nobles controls sixty percent of the territory, including major cities, and uses this as a basis to gradually encroach on the sphere of influence of the regular army. ”

"It's a terrible situation." Lane's face remained unchanged, "How much combat power is left in the regular army?" ”

"It's almost seventy percent, but most of them are suppressed in their respective defense zones and can't be integrated."

"It's better than I expected, I've worked hard for you this month."

In Lien's expectation, even if the Fifth Division was preserved and the chain reaction would be caused by this, plus the advance deployment of the Third and Seventh Divisions and the combat effectiveness of the regular army itself, only about sixty percent would remain. Now there are nearly 10% more, and it is thought that Oliebat is using the mobility of "Karejas" to run around and turn the tide.

"It's hard work, but it's worth it." Olibart gently took it, not arrogant or impatient.

"Where are the points where the battle is most intense?"

"The first is the state of Ramar where I am now, the Lamar State Territory Army, which has the most powerful military force in the noble alliance, under the leadership of the 'Golden Rakshasa 'Aurelia', launched a fierce attack on the Seventh Division and the surrounding auxiliary divisions. At the beginning, because the soldiers had no experience in dealing with mecha soldiers, and General Aurelia used his strengths and avoided weaknesses to maximize the mobility advantages of mecha soldiers, our army fell into disadvantage for a while, and the situation was very critical. If it weren't for Jill's airship unit and the timely arrival of "Red Constellation", I'm afraid our army would have paid a rather heavy price. Now our army and Aurelia's army are in a stalemate in the hilly terrain west of Haidu Ordis. ”

"What about the losses?"

"The casualties of the 7th Mecha Division are about 30%, and more than half of the weapons and equipment are lost. The assault boat lost two boats, but fortunately the crew parachuted in time, only a dozen people were injured and no one died. Since "Red Constellation" is responsible for sabotage behind enemy lines, the status of casualties is not known for the time being. ”

"I see, I'm bothering you." Although the Empire's air force is not strong, Jill's airship force can be killed without people, and Oliebat must have put a lot of effort into it—because of Lane's words, it was my friend. This is a favor, Li En has to remember.

"The second point is in Krutsyn, where the regular army of the whole empire is most powerful. Thanks to the efforts of General Craig and General Varta, the regular army in Krutchen has completed the integration with the 4th and 5th Mecha Divisions as the core and the 6th, 9th, and 11th Divisions as the flanks. In order to ensure that the Ssangyong Bridge was not lost, one support army from each of the states of Sasalant and Nodia was sent to the line of the Ssangyong Bridge. As far as the current situation is concerned, the regular army on the Kruchen side has more than enough to protect itself, but it is still difficult to break through the defense line of the Shuanglong Bridge. ”

"Good!" Li En was overjoyed to be able to do this, and it was not in vain that Li En saved the Garelia Fortress and the Fifth Mecha Division at the cost of serious injuries.

"The third point is in the state of Nodia. The 3rd Mecha Division led by Lieutenant General Sykes took the vast Nolde Plateau as the depth, and used the newly developed 'Hydra' tactics to contain the Marquis of Rogner in the area north of the Black Dragon Pass and south of Jiandamen, and the two sides won and lost each other, but in the past half a month, I don't know why, the contact with Lieutenant General Sykes has been intermittent, and it seems that the communication has been disturbed in some way. ”

"Interference" Li En's heart sank, could it be that the surveillance tower was still occupied like the original world? No, even if Jill's airboat unit was transferred to Ramar State, there was still "Hedren" and half of "Nidhog" fighting guerrillas in the Eichingott Mountains on the Nolde Plateau, how could it give the Confederate army a chance?

Also, if it is really interfered with, it should be a communication cut-off, not intermittently, what is going on?

While thinking about it, Oliebar continued: "Originally, I wanted to take the time to go over, but since you are awake, I will leave it to you, who made you close. ”

"Understand, what about Sassalant?"

"The state of Shasarante is currently the most stable state, the regular army is firmly suppressed, and Haineshou still has the spare strength to support the rest of the country."

"Patrick's dad has two hits." Lane stopped the pencil he had drawn on the map and said in a deep voice, "Let's divide the work." I am familiar with Kruchen and Nodia, and I will take care of it, and Ramar and Shasarant will be handed over to you. ”

"I'll take care of the trouble." Oliebart complained.

"Those who can do it do more, Jill's airship force continues to be under your command, and I'll find a way to see if I can transfer half of Nidhogg to you."

"Then I'm much less stressed."

"By the way, the legitimacy of my actions is guaranteed by you or His Highness Elfin, no problem, right?"

"No problem, my side is too far away, so let Elphine guarantee the legitimacy of your actions. Let's put an end to the Empire's civil war, just like the Lionheart did back then. ”

“Yesyourhighness!”

In the following time, Rien has been in contact with various personnel, such as the intelligence officers sent by "The Chasseurs of the North" to various places, such as the backbone of "Capua Transport" who is hiding in various places and ostensibly succumbing to the obscenity of the noble alliance, such as the nails that Olibat planted in various places in advance.

Of course, there are also Yanelas and Colonia, who have been thinking about him all the time, although the latter has a message from Selesty, but because she has a very important meeting to preside, she has not been idle for two minutes until Rien contacts her.

Kolotia said that everything was fine with Hamel, and that nothing had disturbed the peace of the forgotten land for a month. Estelle and Joshua got along well with the people, and there was no unpleasant quarrel with the hunters stationed outside the town.

By the way, Kolotia has been to Hamel a few times in disguise and greeted Rien's friends, but she regrets not meeting Rien's parents.

The Empress Dowager's methods are really extraordinary, not annoying, but also just right to show her presence - Li En couldn't help but sigh.

Liaison with Anilas led Ryan to decide on his first destination, the trading town of Keldik.

Although the destination has not changed from the original world line, the situation on the ground has changed beyond recognition.

In the original world line, the Garelian Fortress and the Fifth Division were destroyed by the "wormhole cannon" of the white god machine, and the Fourth Mecha Division had no danger to defend, and in the face of new weapons that had never been seen before, the striking power of the Crown Empire was difficult to exert and was miserably suppressed. Fortunately, Claire arrived in time with the "Railway Gendarmerie" and guided the 4th Division, which was in chaos, to the training ground of the Garelian Fortress to settle down.

But now it's different, all the east of the Shuanglong Bridge is the territory of the regular army, Commander Varta led the Fifth Mecha Division to defend the strongest fortress in the Empire, which can be called impregnable, and the fierce general Craig who has no worries finally exerted the striking power of the Fourth Mecha Division, coupled with the coordinated operation of other troops, after resisting the surprise attack of the Confederate Army, he fought steadily and steadily, pressing step by step, and the defense line of "Shuanglong Bridge" was extremely uncomfortable, and he had to ask for help from the neighboring state of Sassalant.

This is naturally exciting good news, but this situation also brings a lot of trouble to Fiona and Elliot, who are hiding near the Shuanglong Bridge and want to join their father, as well as Yanirath, Fi, and Macchias, who are serving as guards. According to the plan made by Rien in combination with the original world line, Elliot and his party should meet near Keldick, and sneak across the Double Dragon Bridge through the narrow path and secret passage to reach the sphere of influence of the Fourth Mech Division.

After that, things were simple, Fiona was beautiful, gentle and gentle, every time she came to visit her father, she would help in medical or logistics, help bandage soldiers who were injured due to training, add food to the soldiers, etc., and over time Fiona became the goddess of the Fourth Mecha Division and even the entire Galylian Fortress. As soon as she shows up, there will inevitably be a group of flower messengers to escort her to her father's side.

However, because the regular army and the Confederate army were fighting on the Ssangyong Bridge line, and as the scale of the battle grew larger as time went on, the entire Keldik to the Ssangyong Bridge line was under military control, and the large market of Keldik was closed, and the flow of people in the trading towns fell to freezing point. In such a situation, let alone smuggling across the Ssangyong Bridge, it is difficult to even hide yourself from being discovered by the Confederate army. In the past half month, Faye and Yaniras, who have been forced to be helpless, directly escaped into "Lunalia Natural Park" with others and played wilderness survival.

Yaniras and Fi, who have experienced all kinds of rigorous cultivation, naturally don't take this little difficulty to heart, but Fiona, Elliot, and Macchias cannot, they have a hard time without this experience, and half a month has already squeezed their bodies and spirits to the limit.

There are priorities, and Nolde can't be contacted for the time being, but from the analysis of the existing intelligence, the situation is much better than the original world line, and it is unlikely that there will be problems for a few days. On the contrary, Yaniras's side cannot be dragged down, and the natural park is not far from Keldik, and it is still within the defense zone of the Confederate army. Although the Confederation did not pay much attention to the nature park, it still arranged for two airboats and a squadron to patrol every day. Once some traces are discovered by the enemy, it is dangerous.

In terms of selfishness, except for Fiona, the other four have a close relationship with Lane; In terms of public affairs, the identities of Fiona, Eliot, and Macchias are all very important, and they must not fall into the hands of the aristocratic alliance, and they cannot be left alone in public or private.

So the question arises - how to save it?

Use Valima's stunt "Elven Way" to transfer the past?

No, it's too dangerous. The "Way of the Elves" is an "ancient method of movement" that has been passed down from time immemorial and can be transferred to places related to the belief of the Elves through the spiritual veins of the earth, the Seven Rays. As far as Rien knew, there was indeed such a relic in Lunalia Natural Park.

However, there is a disadvantage of the "Elven Path", which consumes a lot of energy, and every time it is opened, it consumes all of Valima's spiritual power. It takes at least one day to recover spiritual power, during which time Valima will lose her combat effectiveness, and Valima's huge size is not easy to hide, as long as there are confederate airships patrolling from above, it is very likely to be discovered, and it will be a big trouble.

Use JOKER to sneak in and pick people up?

It's not that it can't be operated, but only if there is a place to park the ship.

And—

"Brother."

"Brother Lane."

Two delicate voices rang out, pulling Lane out of her pensive state. Looking up, Elysée and Alfin stood beside them: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's time for dinner."

"Auntie stewed your favorite soup."

It's already night outside the window, is it already this time?

"Let's go, let's eat." Rien quickly closed his notes and put away the map. In his heart, ending the civil war was important, as was having dinner with his family.

He has to do his career, and he will not ignore his family.

That's what Dawn Schwarzer insisted on.

PS: Why are the fourth and seventh sides so different? Because Aurelia is not inferior to Sykes's famous general, and the commander of the Kruchen state is definitely not a famous general, although he is not a mediocre talent, not to mention that the fourth side has the intact Garelian fortress to rely on, this is the gap. (To be continued.) )
