Chapter 57: The Situation in the Northland
While the southern part of the empire was still only slightly cool in the autumn when it was gradually moving away, the northern part of the empire, the state of Notia, which was divided in half by the Ischengart Mountains, had begun to experience the ruthless coldness of General Winter.
However, the Marquis of Rogner, who has always been known for his fierce generals, and his soldiers have naturally developed the ability to cope with the cold winter in decades of training. Unlike those soldiers who were completely incapacitated after falling into the disadvantage of weather conditions, his soldiers still maintained a super high combat effectiveness in this situation.
In comparison, the Third Mecha Division led by Sykes Vandel is inferior. First of all, Sykes himself was transferred to the Kendamen Fortress in the north only a few years ago, and although he is also a top general who is very good at learning and improving, he is still not as good as Rogner of the same level over the decades. At the same time, the double disadvantage of material and manpower, which had not been obvious at the beginning of the civil war, became even more apparent a month later. On the one hand, the herdsmen from the direction of the Republic of Calvard also had to retreat, and the herdsmen drove large numbers of livestock to the lakeside and valley to escape the cold, on the one hand, lengthening the connection between the major tribes and the Gendamon and making it more difficult to replenish supplies, and on the other hand, the army from the direction of the Republic of Calvard also consciously or unintentionally gathered on the other side of the plateau, and the pressure exerted by both sides made some people in the Nord Plateau panic.
This disadvantage was exacerbated by the fact that about a week earlier, the Marquis of Rogner had launched a surprise attack and captured the "Surveillance Tower" on the Norde Plateau with the feint of the Republic. The Noble Coalition deployed a device on the surveillance tower that seemed to be able to shield the entire communication band of the entire Nolde Plateau, and the soldiers sent two detachments of mechs to keep the controls tight. Lieutenant General Sykes, who was already at a disadvantage, also lost the guiding communication with the troops scattered around the fortress after the surveillance tower was taken away, just like a big spider with teeth and claws tied to his hands and feet, which was very uncomfortable. However, Lieutenant General Sykes realized this, and how could the Marquis of Rogner not understand? Even the supplies of the army that were engaged head-to-head were sacrificed to the elite of the watch towers - to ensure the flow of intelligence.
"So it seems...... Marquis Rogner, in less than a month, he will be able to get the initiative in the war, and in less than two months, Lieutenant General Sykes will not be able to hold on. If anything, it seems that the war in Notia will end sooner than elsewhere. "In the northwestern part of Notia, in the famous spa town of Yomir, the lord of Baron Theo Schwarzer, was holding a local newspaper in his hand and was worried.
Although the news in the media is basically nonsense under the instructions of the public opinion of the Noble Alliance, which has been processed and controlled to ensure that it can be released to confuse the public and not cause confusion, Te'o still easily sees through the actual situation reflected in some of the details with amazing insight.
For example, within Lane Fort, the inside-out reform movement that began a few weeks ago has purged a large number of former company executives. But Te'o knew that almost all of these company executives, who had been alienated or transferred, came from the original Second Foundry, the so-called reformist forces. There is no doubt that it is not President Irina Lane Fort, the industrial giant, who is now in charge of the Imperial Industrial Giant, but a certain pro-aristocratic figure who is trying to exclude dissidents and build such a huge asset into a powerful backup for the war.
For example, the townspeople complained in small talk, about the changes in prices, and the drastic increase in the price of horse feed, which the Butler of Platinum had reported to him—it must have been the Marquis of Rogner's army that increased the blockade of the Nolde plateau.
"In this chaotic world, no matter who you are, to a certain extent, you can only go with the flow, and there is no way." Theo sighed and turned to his worried wife, Lucia, "All we can do now is pray for the people of Youmir, as well as for Dawn and Elyse. ”
"Although the guerrilla named Tovar informed us of the safety of Elysée the other day...... said Lady Lucia, "I am still very worried. Coupled with the fact that Ryne's child still hasn't been accounted for, I ......"
"Elysée and Her Royal Highness are together, and it shouldn't be a big problem. His Highness Oliebat...... He even hid this hand. That young man who is a nobleman in the southern region, I asked someone to investigate it a little, and the results were really surprising...... He turned out to be one of the participants in solving the "Liber Anomaly" two years ago, and he also successfully participated in the chaos in the Crossbell area last year, stirring up the troubled waters. I analyzed his pattern of action a little and guessed his purpose - and the results were a bit surprising. His Highness Olibat has such helpers...... It's really one step closer to the realization of his dream. ”
"Your Highness Olibat......" Lucia was also very impressed by Olibat's politeness (fake), "If you say that, then Rien is the thing we need to worry about the most right now." ”
"Hmm. But I'm sure he'll be fine. After all, he is ...... He's the guy's ......" In the middle of speaking, Te'o suddenly closed his mouth and fell silent.
“…… Regardless of his background, we treat him as if he were our own child. Therefore, for him, as much as Elyse, I poured the same heart and worry into it. Lucia seemed to see what her husband was trying to say, "And that's why...... Don't put too much of a burden on him, you father. ”
"I don't have ...... I know that this kid Li En will not be ordinary in the future. "As a result, he may have all kinds of difficulties and setbacks outside." We should need to know that. But you're right...... In our eyes, he is our own son, and even if that guy from Osborne came to the door and tried to snatch him away, I would never agree to him. ”
"Honey." Lucia was amused by Te'o's serious expression.
"Good...... That's all for the jokes. Let's go out for a walk a little bit and see how the preparations are going outside. In a few days, the first heavy snow will fall here...... We have to be ready. ”
