Since the warehouse where the train guns were stored was located in the defense area of the Bazel brigade, and the guard work was also presided over by Bazel, and now the enemy agents slipped in from under his nose, destroyed the train guns, and then retreated, Bazel of course had to bear the responsibility for the dereliction of duty, and had to rush to the Olevy fortress and report the bad news to the headquarters.

The news reached the headquarters, and when it was learned that the train guns on which he had high hopes turned into mud overnight, even Commander-in-Chief Engel, who had always been unfazed, lost his composure, and was so angry that he angrily denounced Bazel for his incompetence in front of all the generals, and betrayed his trust and expectations.

Colonel Mendelssohn was a well-established Imperial radical officer, and from the bottom of his heart he despised Bazel, an "opportunist" who had been transferred from Field Marshal Sigmunt. In the past two months, Bazel has performed an outstanding job in maintaining law and order on the west bank of the Turbid River and in clearing out the guerrillas, and he has successfully completed his task as the vanguard of the river-crossing operation, so he has won the favor of General Engel, and Colonel Mendelssohn, as a direct officer of the commander-in-chief, is inevitably jealous of Baron Bazel, who has been in the limelight lately, and it is reasonable to gloat when he learns that he has been reprimanded by the commander-in-chief for his unfavorable affairs.

Palatina's feelings about the incident were much more complex. She knew very well how heavily guarded the warehouse area where the train guns were stored, and even she herself was not sure that she could sneak into the warehouse and destroy the train guns without alerting any sentry posts, so how did the agents from the Far East do it? This was both surprising and puzzling to her.

Palatina did not believe that the destruction of the train guns was the sole responsibility of Bazel, and in fact she herself was jointly and severally responsible as one of the garrison commanders of the positions on the east bank. Out of sympathy for Bazel, but also out of self-reproach, Palatina personally went to the warehouse district to inspect the damaged train cannons.

If Paladina had hoped to repair the train cannon before this, she was completely dead after seeing the tragic situation at the scene. The Far Easterners used some perverted tricks to dissolve the four steel cannons weighing 60 tons into muddy water that emitted a sour smell, and the core parts of the cannons were completely dissociated, and even the use of legendary spells could not restore the mud to its original state.

Palatina is well aware of the key role played by train guns in Commander-in-Chief Engel's battle plan, now that the four "old Charlies" have all been destroyed, the imperial military only has these four train guns, even if the rear military factories work overtime to catch up, they can't make new train guns in a short time, how to carry out follow-up operations?

The loss of the train cannon meant that the Imperial Crusade Corps lost the range advantage of ground artillery, and the tactics previously conceived would be nullified, and the Crusade troops would have to brave the artillery fire of the Far Easterners to launch an offensive, which would inevitably cost greater casualties. Palatina's unit will spearhead the battle plan for the assault on Cold Creek, and the destruction of the train cannon will put her troops and herself at greater risk on the battlefield. Colonel Mendelssohn was completely unaware that she was also an indirect victim of this tragic incident, and she was still in the mood to gloat, which made her laugh and cry.

The train cannon was damaged, and the most distressed person was General Engel, who was furious and ordered a strict investigation, and it was necessary to find out where the Far Eastern agents had infiltrated the camp before dark.

"Today the enemy can sneak in and destroy the train cannons, and tomorrow they can sneak in the same way, kill people and set fires! How can officers and soldiers be stationed in such a dangerous place?! Until this matter is investigated, all river crossing operations are to be suspended! ”

General Engel's thunderous anger paralyzed the river crossing. All the Imperial officers and soldiers stationed in the positions on the east bank threw themselves into the search of the camp, and at the end of the day, the positions on the east bank were turned upside down. It wasn't until dusk that the secret passages hidden in the abandoned bunkers were discovered. Palatina and Bazel personally entered the secret passage, cast a spell to check the remaining traces in the secret passage, and confirmed that not long ago, four people had infiltrated through this tortuous secret passage from ten miles away from the east bank position, and the ins and outs of the train cannon sabotage incident were revealed.

In the evening of the same day, Bazel crossed the river and rushed to the Olevi fortress to report the case to Commander-in-Chief Engel. Palatina stayed in position and ordered the Engineer Regiment to fill the tunnel with bombs, detonate it and create a cave-in, completely filling the passage to prevent any further agents from the Far East from infiltrating it.

Back in her barracks to wash up, Palatine habitually turned on the magic radio and searched for the "Fireside Talk" program. That familiar voice came over the radio, and it made her feel both warm and painful. However, when she calmed down and listened attentively to the front-line battle situation revealed by Roland in the broadcast studio, her face couldn't help but become a little strange.

"Your Royal Highness the Regent, I'm sorry I can't hear what you're talking about...... Are you on a boat? I seem to hear the sound of the waves? ”

"Rogge, your ears are very sharp, I am indeed on a ship at the moment, and the noise here is a bit loud, so I can only find a corner on the bridge that is as quiet as possible, and participate in tonight's 'fireside chat' with the help of the magic guide intercom, and by the way, I will report to the listeners and friends in front of the radio that I am safe."

Roland's hearty laughter came through the cacophony of background sounds. Palatina could not be heard in the background by the howling sea breeze, the raging waves, as if Roland was on a battleship riding the wind and waves.

"Your Royal Highness Regent, today's evening news revealed your whereabouts, saying that you are inspecting the navy in the Golden Horn, please allow me to inquire, do you want to personally command the naval fleet to fight the imperial fleet that invaded the port of Parnia?"

"Mr. Rogge, I don't have the talent to command naval operations, and it is better to leave the work of commanding operations to our admirals who have more experience and talent in this field, do you say?"

"That's right, Your Highness Regent, so you're talking to me right now on the Far East Navy's flagship 'Sea Palace'?"

"I'm sorry, I have nothing to say about this, the military secrecy regulations don't allow me to answer this question."

"I'm very sorry, Your Royal Highness Regent, considering the tense situation in the Golden Horn area in recent days, I shouldn't have asked you about the navy, but the battle on the southern front is too smooth, there are no surprises worth mentioning, we might as well talk about the war on the Western Front, which is also the topic that the majority of listeners and friends are most concerned about."
