Nine hours have passed since the massive airborne landing of the army in Pagas to now.

Nine hours is enough to decide the outcome of a battle in some wars, but in Aya, not even a single battle broke out.

Not even a skirmish! They didn't even see Clay's army!

It's really weird, could it be that I opened it the wrong way? Kraskilett's somewhat morbidly pale face gave him a puzzled look.

For the next nine hours, Pagas's mechanized infantry corps swept in four directions, east, west, south, and north with Kyoto as the center, without encountering any obstacles from Cray's army along the way.

In line with the idea of killing everything and killing everything, they marched all the way forward and swept 600 kilometers in nine hours...... From the plains near Kyoto to the hilly mountains.

In the process, six large satellite cities were engulfed in flames, more than a dozen surrounding towns were reduced to rubble, hundreds of villages were destroyed, and countless Clay people were killed......

Despite this, Clay's army did not show up. If sacrifice for victory is inevitable, if Li Yaoguo deeply understands this truth, then this war will be very difficult.

At least it will be dragged for a long time, weeks, months, or even ...... This was not allowed by Klaas, who desperately needed the victory to regain his honor and the king's trust in him.

Moreover, the army he held in his hands, a full thirteen armies, and three land-based aircraft carrier battle groups, was more than five times the number of the Clay Army. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Pagas Empire has just finished updating the third-generation standard land combat mecha "Imperial Sword", which is definitely not inferior to the standard mecha of the large Federation and the Super Empire in terms of performance.

You have to win, and you have to win fast!

However, even if Li Yaoguo avoids the war, he still has a way, that is, the "Interstellar United Convention". As long as he wins the approval of the people in large cities, then nominally, the planet belongs to Pagas. That would be a disgraceful win, but it would be a way to do it now.

Kraskilit focused his attention on the map, where the red arrows were all over the place.

To the north, nine infantry divisions of the three corps of Pagas stopped at the endless North Mountain Pass. To the east, after crossing the Haihe River bridge, an entire corps of light mechanized infantry camped at the bridgehead to rest. To the west, two of Pagas's heavy mechs out of the plains stopped in the western swamps. Spanning 1,000 kilometers, nine divisions of the three corps in the south stopped at the gate of the Kohler Grand Canyon after nine hours of advance.

The red dot in the middle is Kyoto, and the blue areas on all sides are all controlled by the Fang, which means that there is not a single Kray defender within thousands of kilometers of Aya's capital Kyoto!

Kraskilit frowned, could it be that the previous massacre that left no one was just a bluff? No! No way! Li Yaoguo is not so stupid, giving up the capital is equivalent to directly giving up the initiative in this war, at that time they will be like a group of bandits no matter how they fight.

But how to fight? There is not even a single screw cap within a radius of thousands of kilometers!

Even if Clay marched sharply with Kyoto as the goal, by the time they arrived, they would be tired and incapacitated!

What's more, all the choke points in the east, west, north and south are now guarded by the Pagathian army. It's hard for them to break through one side of the defenders with a little army!

Klaas shook the wine glass in his hand, his serpent-sharp eyes staring at the holographic map.

"Interesting ......"

"Li Yaoguo, I see how you can break this dead end!"

……

Li Yaoguo, where is Li Yaoguo?

In fact, Li Yaoguo is underground, in an underground facility less than 50 kilometers west of Kyoto!

Clay's millennium heritage is not nonsense. There are several of these large military facilities that can hide several armies!

How many are amazing? It's just digging a hole and burying someone!

If this were the case, Li Yaoguo would have already gone to surrender by himself!

The function of the underground facility as a meeting point is only a small part, it also provides the needs of tens of thousands of people to eat, drink, and sleep, and at the same time serves as a combat readiness storage point, which can ensure the storage, maintenance, and repair of 10,000 land mechas!

The most important thing is to exist as an absolutely secure command post for land operations. His anti-reconnaissance coated armor plates, which were five or six meters thick, were covered with soil more than ten meters thick! Stronger than all known means of reconnaissance! The nuclear bomb can only shake him slightly!

The difficulty of building such a super battle fortress is no less than that of a "space titan", the strongest combat power in the interstellar world! Just one can buy an entire fleet! And there are four such things on this planet!

This is Li Yaoguo's reliance! Clay's hole cards!

Li Yaoguo hadn't slept or eaten all day, and every time he closed his eyes, the image of Clay's civilians being slaughtered by Pagas was in his mind. Although he repeatedly reminded himself that this was a strategic necessity, out of the need for victory, when he thought of the national anthem echoing in Kyoto in the early morning, the guilt still made him feel like a boulder in his heart.

The people did not give up, the people were waiting for him!

And he's waiting for an opportunity!

"General, drink and eat something, if you're tired, Clayko will be finished!"

Willis said with concern, no one knows Li Yaoguo better than him, he has followed Li Yaoguo to fight in the south and north for decades, and he has seen many situations like this.

"The necessary sacrifices are all for victory, even if the protection of the civilian Clay is still over, our people are captured as slaves, and the result is not the same!"

"So, General, this is war!"

Li Yaoguo stopped the pen in his hand, turned his head and grinned at Willis.

"Hey, I've fought hundreds of battles, and I've never been so embarrassed as this one, and I didn't even dare to show my face for nine hours."

"That's right, it's war! This war is more important than all the battles I've fought combined, and one wrong step is no longer possible! ”

"I hope the ancestors of Clay can bless me Clay!"

After Li Yaoguo finished speaking, he smiled at Willis and said, "Willis, if you win this battle, the task of protecting Clay will be handed over to you!" ”

Willis was a little surprised: "General! Have you already decided?! ”

Li Yaoguo nodded and said, "That's right, I'm old, and my mind is no longer good." You are my right-hand man, younger and more strategic, and I am relieved that Clay will hand it over to you! ”

"But......," Li Yaoguo said solemnly, "if you don't do a good job." Be careful that I come back and kick your ass! ”

Willis straightened up and saluted a military salute, "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" ”

At this moment, the instant combat map on the map showed that the nine divisions south of Pagas had completely entered the canyon.

Li Yaoguo's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he slammed the table hard, "His grandmother's, finally let Lao Tzu in!" ”

Looking at the whole battle situation, the enemy has entered the trap without knowing it, this is the fighter he has been waiting for!

Li Yaoguo waved his hand excitedly, "Close the door!" ”

"Let the dogs go!"
