Chapter 194: Counting is Counting
"Lieutenant General, the enemy's movements seem to be a little strange."
"What's wrong?" Lieutenant General Sykes raised an eyebrow - apparently he had already seen the change in the situation, but deliberately did not say anything, waiting for the adjutant to take the initiative.
Moreover, Sykes had been observing the lieutenant since the beginning of the dayβit seemed that he had also noticed that something was wrong with the situation for some time, and it was not until he was extremely confirmed that he took the initiative to bring it upβso that this was a malleable talent, and his excellent observation and judgment had been shown by the suggestion just now and the performance that followed.
If he could train an excellent general in the last years of his military career, he would not have wasted the launch of this civil war, and he would not have wasted a lot of the empire's resources in vain.
"The enemy's previous offensive was very ferocious, attacking from both flanks and from the front, with the aim of cutting off our formation and thus better destroying us. But now...... Although the battle situation has not changed in a short period of time, there seems to be some inconsistency in the pace of the enemy. Specifically, a support force that arrived after we had encountered their vanguard seemed to have stalled in the attack, causing the overall attack to be sluggish. For this reason, our flank formations seem to have reached a position close enough to us. β
"You're right. This was part of my previous plan...... However, it doesn't seem like it's scheduled yet. Lieutenant General Sykes put down his pocket watch, "Yes, it's not a big problem...... It's not too late to do it. β
"Your Excellency?" The adjutant was a little stunned.
"Let's wait and see." Sykes waved his hand, "Wait a few more minutes and you'll know what's going on." Before that, convey my further orders......"

"You can't be wrong...... Upstairs is the top of the surveillance tower. Gaius closed his eyes and stood in front of the heavy door, perceiving carefully, "There is indeed the breath of man...... Moreover, there is a "murderous aura" in it that is not concealed. β
"I'm afraid it's going to be a tough battle...... It's just that we don't have a choice. Tovar sighed, "Are you all ready?" The opponent is likely to be the "executor". β
"Ready!" The students' responses were unanimous. Claire and Sharon were each discussing something just now, and it seemed that they had finished discussing it at this time, and they nodded.
"So, let's go. Remember the target - destroy the device at the top of the surveillance tower that is causing signal interference! Let it stop! β
"Please go up first, Miss and Young Master Lien." Sharon's voice was serious, "I have something to do here...... It won't take too much time. β
"Do you mean...... "Alyssa and Sharon were at ease, "are you going to fend off the pursuers here?" β
"How...... That's not going to work. Although Miss Sharon is powerful, there is only one person's words......" The rest of Class VII on the side also disagreed when they heard this, not to mention Alyssa's worried expression.
"It's worthy of the eldest lady...... There was no sign of it, but I guessed it. Sharon smiled helplessly, and glanced at Clea, who was also helpless, "However, I don't plan to fight here endlessly - I'll catch up with you later." Don't worry about me. β
"But......" Alyssa wanted to continue, but when she saw Sharon's eyes, she understoodβand quickly turned away, "I see." Since Sharon says so, let's take her word for it. She has never broken her promise. β
"......," said Alyssa, and the others did not know what to say, so they each gave a few words, and turned at random, and pushed open the door of the cloister that led to the top of the tower.
"......" Sharon took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, it was a skill and speed that Alyssa and the others had never seen before.
"On the left, under the stone pier on the right, at the angles between the front and back, and behind the door...... I see, it's a perfect design. Sharon said nonchalantly as she gracefully walked back and forth between the places. In her hand, something was placed there, and the inconspicuous glimmer in the air was the "dead line" that Sharon Kruger was proud of, planting the seeds of death and destruction.
At this moment, the soldiers who were hurrying here did not know what awaited them in front of them.

"Miss Sarah, they're starting to retreat." A charioteer hurried over - from just now, one of the flanks of the 3rd Mech Division had just rounded back to the vicinity of the battlefield between the special forces and the mechs, and then intervened. The two sides fought happily, and in the middle of a fierce battle, Sarah was stopped by a charioteer who suddenly arrived.
"Retreat?" Sarah repeated his words, then thought for a moment and said decisively, "It seems that the whereabouts of the surveillance tower have been discovered...... It can't be so smooth, isn't it? β
"According to Lieutenant General Sykes's orders, we should choose to continue the pursuit at this time." The special forces captain on the side said, "What do you think?" β
"I have no objection. However, depending on the situation, it shouldn't be our turn to continue playing now. A smile tugged at the corners of Sarah's lipsβshe had just seen a reinforcement unit approaching on the horizon in the distance.
"That's ......" The commander of the charioteer and special forces also saw the whereabouts of the comerβit was actually four mechs! The mechman led by the leader is painted in crimson and fuchsia, which is an improved version of the high-speed combat type of mech. However, what surprised everyone even more than this was that with the slow approach of the four mechs, the more and more clear marks were printed on the chests of the mechs.
That's the emblem of the Marquis of Rogner's house!
There is no doubt that the only people who can use this mecha are the Marquis of Rogner's family...... As far as they knew, the only person in the Marquis's family who used the Mechs was the Marquis of Rogner himselfβhowever, he was using a Force Combat model, not the one that had galloped from afar.
"The eldest lady of the Marquis of Rogner, Angelica Rogner, objected to her father's position in the Civil War, questioning the legitimacy of the alliance of nobles. So, in this matter, she can be considered our ally. Sarah said, "But ......."
"But?"
She mentioned that reinforcements would be coming...... After learning about Lieutenant General Sykes's plans. The lieutenant general told her the plan, and she promised to help, but did not say that she would be on the battlefield herself...... It's too messy. Sarah smiled wryly, "But at least the Marquis Rogner's private soldiers won't do anything to her...... If we can really convince them in this way, it will save us business. β
"I see......," the commander noddedβin that case, it was time to give the decisive lady a chance to solve the problem.
