Surrounded by a group of officers, Heliga reluctantly walked into the makeshift command room, which once seemed to belong to a village, and the villagers had been evacuated early because the war had taken place in their village. The so-called command room is nothing more than the largest of them.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Even in this case, there was a lot to be there - the room was neatly organized, and the walls were plastered with topographical maps of the neighborhood, densely packed with contour lines and hand-drawn landmarks; and a diagram used to express the distribution of the aristocratic army in a confrontation. On the sand table on the table is an integrated communication structure of new electronic technology, with highlights indicating the location of each small garrison.

"I see...... From this headquarters, the only way to the west was in the direction of the noble army's position. About one-fifth of the troops were deployed in the direction that could be bypassed, and the terrain was used to block the attack...... It feels relatively safe. Heliga looked at the contour lines and pointed to a gap in them.

"yes...... But alas, it's a dead end over there. The ambush had already been explored, and it was in the direction of the Marquis of Haines. Therefore, it can only be guaranteed not to be attacked by sneak attacks, and cannot be used as a rear base. "And to be honest, for the combined army of the two mech divisions...... Even if the actual number of fighters has been reduced a lot due to the attrition of the battle, and the number of personnel has been reduced, it is still not enough to provide enough supplies in this nearby area. ”

"I understand...... Even if it is the kind of ration treatment of the Imperial Army, I am afraid it will not last long. Heliga nodded, remembering the moldy bread and bitter salty beans that the Imperial Army had eaten, "In that case, what was your original plan?" ”

"To the northwest of here, about fifteen hundred cels, there is a fortress that once belonged to the regular army." Olibart motioned for an officer next to him to answer Heliga's question. He stepped forward a little reluctantly—Heliga noticed that on his chest was the general of the regular Imperial Army, but the epaulettes were only a horizontal bar, and he should have been a senior officer of the rank of deputy division commander or brigade commander. He pointed to a large red mark in the upper left corner of the map and said: "This was once used as a garrison for the regular army, but later, Prime Minister Osborne increased the budget for military spending, and planned to replace and tear down a number of old forts, and planned to build new military forts in some new places." ”

"I heard...... That's how the Garelian fortress came about. Heliga nodded, "So, that fortress was once used as a garrison for the regular army, but was to be demolished in later plans?" ”

"That's right...... In fact, the clean-up began about five years ago. It's just that because it's on the territory of the Duke of Kane, the progress of the project will always be hindered in various ways. I heard that His Excellency the Prime Minister and the commander of the military department also quarreled with the Duke of Kane over this matter...... In short, for this reason, the fortress is actually quite well preserved. Although several outposts around the perimeter have been demolished, the main body of the fortress, the two garrisons on the east and northwest sides, and the secret passages connecting them should still be intact. If you can take it, you should be able to hold it out longer. ”

"......" Helliga looked in the direction of the mark—it was not easy for the whole army to rush there. Not only did they have to get out of the hills that the regular army now relied on, and go to the Great Plains, with the tank troops, which most of them had suffered a lot of losses and were still in a semi-repaired state, to face off against the elite troops of the two famous generals, Aurelia and Volres, but also to occupy the fortress that I don't know how many functions it still retains through rapid maneuvering - the time was too tight.

"Besides, it's not easy to just get there. Everything we could think of, that Lufas naturally thought of too...... Not only were heavy troops such as General Aurelia and General Voles laid down on the necessary route, but a minefield was also set up on the outer north side. "Because there is a steady stream of support, even if the sappers here are dispatched and those mines are removed, there will still be a steady stream of troops to replenish the troops - we can't find out the truth about this, and it is difficult to make the right decision." ”

"The whole western part of the empire...... Are there any other regular army reinforcements? Heiliga asked.

"There are also three divisions, which are divided by the main force of the noble army, probably in the northeast." "There's nothing we can do over there, because the support of the sea fortress Juno can lead directly there...... There were four divisions of the regular army on the Sasharante side, but the Marquis of Haines was quick to attack at the beginning of the civil war, and quickly dispatched his forces to suppress the momentum of the regular army's counterattack. Now, the situation in Sasharante has largely stabilized. ”

However, it is said that the Marquis of Haines did not completely blockade the regular army in the fortress...... Instead, he allowed the soldiers of the regular army to come out at certain times to replenish military supplies and supplies. Said another officer—he was also a senior officer of the same rank as the one before him.

"Hmph...... Cunning old fox. In doing so, he lived up to his reputation. Heiliga laughed, "In this case, no matter how the civil war ends, he will finally have an explanation." If the noble army wins, then although he did not take the initiative to send troops to help the other three nobles, he solved the troubles in the territory as soon as possible, firmly suppressed the regular army over there, and put them in a situation where they could not act. If the regular army can assess the rebellion of the noble army, then his actions will basically allow him to be punished to the least degree...... He did not rush to send troops, nor did he commit too many atrocities against the regular army, and it is estimated that even the military committee of the imperial capital will not hold him accountable. ”

"yes...... That's what I thought, too. So I told them not to worry too much that the Marquis de Keynes would attack us from behind...... But the siege ahead must also be lifted. Olibart nodded, "That's where the current dilemma is. ”

"Pretty much understood...... In short, it's about finding a way to break through the defense line in front of you and occupy that fortress, right? Heliga nodded, "In that case, I have a caveat...... It's just that it might sound weird. ”
