"Report to the command of the surveillance tower, our side has been freed from the entanglement of the enemy's third mecha division, and is currently returning to the station of the surveillance tower along the same road." Hearing the news from the unit heading to the northern part of the plateau, the atmosphere at the headquarters of the defenders of the surveillance tower relaxed a little; However, the news on the other side was not optimistic: Lieutenant General Sykes seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly increased the intensity of his attack, and the main tank unit of the Third Mecha Division suddenly changed from being passively beaten to taking the initiative to attack. Rather than destroying the enemy in a unit of time, they are trying to hinder as much as possible the support force that wants to get back to the Surveillance Tower - the purpose is clear.

"Understood. Continue to travel at your current pace, and return back when you reach the front line! In addition, if you encounter any emergencies on the way back, you must contact the headquarters first, understand? ”

"Yes!" The uniform chanting made the commander unaware of anything unusual.

"Also, ask for help from the Black Dragon Pass." After thinking about it, the commander suddenly said to the adjutant beside him, "I hope the Marquis of Rogner can free his hands, otherwise he will ......"

"How?" The deputy commander asked suspiciously, as he asked one of the communications men next to him to carry out the order.

"Sykes's posture seems to be intending to directly crush the territory with a large army if the group of assaulters can't solve the problem, along with the "Surveillance Tower". Originally, His Excellency the Marquis just thought that Sykes would not dare to do this casually, so he was able to maintain this stalemate...... But if he really insists on doing this, we can't stop it. ”

"Then he was entangled by those people before, was it?"

"Hmm...... It must have been deliberate. The purpose is to attract troops from our side, so as to reduce the pressure on their assault forces. So far, this strategy has almost succeeded. The captain sighed, "And his main force is the last insurance for this operation." ”

"That's too bold, isn't it...... Doesn't that mean that the "Kendamen" is defenseless? If the Marquis of Rogner gets the news and launches an attack on the "Kendamen", and he has no means of guiding communication, it will be difficult for him to return to support as soon as possible......" The vice-captain thought about it, and didn't believe that a calm veteran like Sykes would do such a crazy thing.

"yes...... In terms of his character, he would definitely not make such a gamble-like attack. Therefore, there is only one explanation...... That is, he knew from some sources that the Marquis of Rogner was not commanding troops in the "Black Dragon Pass" today. Maybe the Rogner family has something to deal with, maybe the main soldiers of the "Black Dragon Pass" are tired from long hours of training and skirmishing and need to rest, maybe for some other reason - but today happens to be the day that His Excellency the Marquis is not in the Black Dragon Pass. The captain smiled wryly, "So he's sure he'll have enough time to settle everything and get the situation back to where it was before." Also, there's one more thing, you know? ”

"What is it?" The adjutant asked.

"After the recovery of Kruchen, the 4th Mecha Division does not seem to be satisfied with the status quo...... According to the spies' report, the 4th Mecha Division now seems to have a tendency to directly penetrate into Notia from the south, echoing the 3rd Mecha Division. If we let the state of Kruchen, which has been controlled by the regular army, and the monster "redhead" fight on both sides, the advantage we have established here over the regular army will be completely gone. And if Luray is also lost......"

When the adjutant heard this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva - it seemed that it had been smooth sailing, and the civil war could already enter early liquidation in every sense, there was still such a hand that seemed inconspicuous at the moment, but could be overturned at any time with a single blow, and the undercurrent of the current stable situation could be overturned.

"This matter is still in the stage of secrecy...... I also heard from some acquaintances in the military department. His Excellency the Marquis was very worried about this...... Therefore, the surveillance tower must be held anyway. I know you're afraid that Your Excellency the Marquis will blame us for our previous unauthorized troop movements, but we can't afford the fall of the "Surveillance Tower", so we let the 3rd Mech Division and the 4th Mech Division complete the loss of the General Division. ”

"You're right." The adjutant sighed and nodded—if he and the others didn't explain the situation to His Excellency the Marquis, what they were waiting for might be the trial of the Judge Advocate General's Office of Notia. In that case, the real catastrophe will come. Compared to this, it is not a small matter to make the Marquis of Rogner scold - although it is usually very scary.

————————————————————————————

"What did you say?" The Marquis of Rogner was sitting on the sofa in the study of the Marquis of Rogner's mansion in the city of Loure, on one side was his younger brother, Heider Rogner, who was reporting to him on his recent work, and on the other side was the herald who had been a little out of breath since just now.

The Marquis of Rogner happened to decide to return to the mansion today, on the one hand, because the body of the continuous battle needed a certain amount of relaxation, and on the other hand, although the younger brother Haider helped him deal with many problems that should have been handled by him, the marquis, there were some things that the younger brother who was not the head of the Rogner family did not have the power to decide; These things have been piled up in the Marquis Rogner's house for some time, and it is just this opportunity to quickly deal with these things.

Of course, some people may say that freeing yourself from the anxieties of the frontline battlefield and throwing yourself into a sea of papers is not a rest at all - but for the Marquis of Rogner, this is the life he has become accustomed to. Being in such a high position as the four famous families should have shouldered a lot of responsibilities. In addition, the Marquis of Rogner was not like several other large families - the Duke of Kane had a lot of talents, and all kinds of affairs were taken care of, and Haidu and the state of Lamar where it was located were extremely rich because of it, second only to Heimdall, the imperial capital as the cultural and economic center of the empire; The Marquis of Haines has a vicious vision, is scheming, and has many children, among which the eldest son and the second son have already played important roles in the affairs of Sasharante. Duke Elbarrea was originally similar to himself, and there was no great talent around him that could be used, but his eldest son, Lufas Elbaria, was really a genius, and even the Marquis of Rogner had to admit that this was a genius who had the opportunity to completely surpass the current four famous masters in the future. Because of this, he is actually the only one among the four famous families who is a little powerless about it.

His younger brother Haider is loyal to the family, but after all, his ability is limited, and he is not able to handle many things well; And his daughter, who is quite capable and popular, and who undoubtedly has a strong quality to succeed him, in his own opinion, is incompatible with his biological father in the most basic concept and position of dealing with the world - this undoubtedly makes Marquis Rogner feel helpless.

His own men, under their own orders, began to reluctantly search for the whereabouts of the maverick eldest lady - so far, there are no clues. The Marquis of Rogner also ignored this matter for the time being during the continuous war, and it was not until he returned home after a long absence today that he suddenly remembered how good it would be if his daughter, who could help him with many things, was also by his side.

However, it was in this case that while he was listening to his younger brother report the latest situation to him, a soldier who had returned with him suddenly burst in, apparently receiving a contact from the "Black Dragon Pass" - judging by his appearance, he must have rushed in from outside the Marquis's Palace. The Marquis of Rogner was so confident in the quality of his soldiers that he felt that something important had happened when the soldier broke in so disrespectfully, so he did not accuse him of gaffe. He raised his hand to signal his younger brother, who was about to have a seizure, to calm down, and then asked, "Speak slowly." What's going on? ”

"Your Excellency the Marquis...... Just now, there was a call from the Black Dragon Pass. Sykes Fandel, earlier today, seemed to have suddenly led most of the main force of the 3rd Mecha Division out of the nest and launched a direct attack in the direction of the surveillance tower - the nearby troops heard the information and resisted, but it was difficult to resist the might of the main force of Sykes. That's why the defenders of the Watch Tower have sent a message asking you to send troops to resolve the crisis on their side. ”

"There are twenty mechs deployed on the side of the surveillance tower, and with the surrounding troops and hired chasseurs, there should be at least fifty mechs to cooperate with the battle. With home advantage and intelligence advantage, how can the situation be so weird now? Marquis Rogner frowned—he was really curious, why did Sykes choose to act today?

According to the defenders, they found that Sykes's troops were not fierce when they first sorted, and because of the loss of communications, their formation was very scattered, so they underestimated the enemy, and successively sent nearly half of their troops out of the defense area where the garrison of the watch tower was located, and took the initiative to attack. Unexpectedly, Sykes was superior in skill and deliberately sold flaws, and now the soldiers who had killed too fiercely before were scattered by Sykes's sudden increase in strength, and now the coordination of various departments is chaotic and unorganized, and the advantage over the chariot troops under Sykes is gradually disappearing. ”

"These idiots...... I had told them not to evacuate the station near the surveillance tower under any circumstances. The Marquis of Rogner said angrily, "It is disgusting to make trouble for me now." ”

"Brother...... Things on my side can be resolved at any time. Stability ahead is important. Seeing this, Haider hurriedly fought to the side and said, "The affairs of the family should be put aside for the time being, please go to the front line to solve the chaos that just happened." ”

"That's right. In this case, these things will have to be left to you for the time being. Marquis Rogner turned around and said slightly apologetically to his brother.

The Marquis of Rogner was a resolute man who dealt with the unexpected unambiguously. He strode into his room, cleaned up a little, changed into a straight military uniform, and led the soldiers to get into the guide cart and drive away.

Along the way, Marquis Rogner was thinking about one thing - he happened to be on the front line of Black Dragon Pass today, and he couldn't mobilize his troops at the first time when there was a situation, and Sykes coincidentally chose to carry out such a large-scale military operation today - if he was already in Black Dragon Pass at this time, he personally led the defenders out of the nest, and I was afraid that in Sykes's absence, he could directly attack Damen - the regular army without guidance communication would not be able to turn back and defend at the first time. With what he knew about Sykes, there was absolutely no way that this man would have chosen to act in such a disruptive way.

Therefore, the only explanation is that he knew his plan of action—but the news that he was going to return to the Marquis de Rogner today, known only to his younger brother and a few close officers. When traveling, the Marquis of Rogner was also very low-key, and not too many people noticed this - his younger brother naturally needless to say, those officers were all carefully selected by himself, followed him for many years, and were loyal and loyal. They wouldn't do such a betrayal of intelligence under any circumstances.

So, what's going on? He racked his brains, but he couldn't come up with a reason.

However, in fact, the truth of the matter is so simple.

Just a few days ago, when Heider Rogner proudly walked in the R&D workshop of the "RF Society", posing with the president on the head to teach the employees below him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief when he saw that they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

However, when he saw that these employees and researchers were just making some appearances and did not carry out any substantive research and development, he was a little angry and inadvertently said something like this: "You guys, what will I tell my brother later this week!" ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart - not to mention, Chairman Irina has a very high reputation in the company, and many people simply ignore the so-called "president" who occupies the magpie's nest. This information was heard by the members who knew Irina's whereabouts at this time, and it was brought out as information that could help her, and dictated to Irina, who had been using this method to keep track of the company's internal situation.

And with her ingenuity, can't she guess what that actually means?

Therefore, such a key piece of information is a heavyweight letter of nomination provided by Irina Lane Fort to the Third Mecha Division. In order to cover their actions, Irina also deliberately "exposed" her whereabouts, allowing Heider to look away from his support for his brother - at least, to make the return of that support come later.

In terms of strategy at this level, there are many examples of losing all the games by one accident from ancient times to the present day - Heider does not know that it is his own carelessness that pushes his brother's meticulous planning for more than a month to the grave.
