Chapter 1858: Guerrilla Warfare on the Western Front (V.)
Captain Goering held the ball of light and read the magic message, his face changed suddenly. The message was sent by Colonel Mendelssohn, informing him that a large group of giant eagles belonging to the Far East Air Force were dropping bombs to bomb the pontoon bridge, and ordering him to quickly return to the west bank and expel the giant eagles over the position.
Captain Goering was unwilling to let go of the Far Eastern militia who ambushed him, but he did not dare to disobey the orders of his superiors, so he could only endure his anger and wave his hand, signaling his subordinates to retreat immediately.
Captain Goering led the team in a volley and returned the way they came. Less than five hundred yards had just flown out, a flame suddenly burst out in the clouds ahead, and the burning air flow was like a glittering cloud, quickly spreading towards the airspace where the Vulture Horse Cavalry Company was located.
Captain Goering tightened his reins to soothe the frightened vulture, raised his hand to block out the blinding glare of light, and watched through the gap between his fingers the rapidly approaching cloud of light, and a thought crossed his mind.
"Is that ...... 'glitter dust'?"
"No, it's 'Cloud Incineration'!"
As soon as this terrifying thought came to mind, the rolling clouds of fire engulfed him, both men and horses. At the same time, a large group of bipedal wyverns rushed out of the clouds on the opposite side, and on the back of the dragon rode dragon vein warriors dressed in Far Eastern military uniforms, each with a "dragoon spear", towards the imperial vulture horse cavalry surrounded by fire clouds to pull the trigger.
The "Dragoon Spear" is actually a miniature magic crystal cannon, which is completely different from the "Wind Lance" and is much more powerful than the "Wind Lance". The Wyvern Knights from the Valley of Dragon's Sleep, led by Fanny, are all top players in aerial combat and mobile shooting, and the volley of guns is like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, knocking down the Imperial cavalry on the opposite side. After three rounds of gun fire, there was no trace of the Imperial cavalry in the air.
Fanny uses her "wind-making technique" to blow the smoke through the air, and orders her Wyvern Knights to capture and pacify the frightened vultures. The Far East Air Force is in dire need of aerial cavalry, these vultures are valuable resources, and Fanny just now specially reminded his knights to aim at the Imperial cavalry on horseback when shooting, and try to avoid injuring the vultures.
After arranging the aftermath of the air, Fanny landed on her own wyvern and joined her sister Lena.
"Eldest sister, it's a coincidence that you're here, we're going to be bombed a minute later!"
Lena smiled and rushed over, hugging Fanny, who had just jumped off the dragon's back, into her arms.
Fanny was petite and delicate, a lot shorter than the tall and plump Lena, and was unexpectedly hugged by the other party, and her face was forced to stick to Lena's towering chest, buried deep in the "Y" shaped gully between the two huge hemispheres, and was so suffocated that she almost turned her back on the spot, and quickly pushed Lena away, gasping for air.
Fanny realized that she was too excited, smiled and rubbed the pair of "murder weapons" on her chest that could really kill, and took Fanny to her companion and introduced her to Nikolai and the others.
"This is the commander of the Independent Dragon Knights of the Far East Air Force, and also the eldest sister of our 'Three Sisters of the Dragon Fox Eagle', Fanny, the Dragon Vein Pharader!"
"Huh? Lena, you're not mistaken, right? Miss Fanny looks so young! Is it really you and Major Aurora's eldest sister? Peter looked Fanny up and down, his eyes full of disbelief.
Fanny's figure and appearance are really tender, she looks about the same age as Bafla, only sixteen or seventeen, but she didn't expect to be older than Lena and Aurora, it's really unseemly!
……
On the evening of 3 March, the day of the attack on the 1st Corrections Brigade Engineer Regiment and the Eagle Cavalry Company, Palatina received a report from Colonel Mendelssohn. Palatina did not reproach this arrogant and disgraced deputy brigade commander too much, but only told him to strengthen his vigilance in the future.
This is not entirely due to Palatina's magnanimity or Mendelssohn's background, in fact similar attacks have been common since the Empire launched the Crusade, and Colonel Mendelssohn was not the first Imperial officer to suffer, and will never be the last.
The Far Eastern frontier troops did not rely on the riverbank fortifications to defend the fortifications as General Engel expected, but took the initiative to blow up the railway bridge over the Zhuolang River, abandon the fortifications along the river, and retreat to the area of Lengxi Town to rebuild the defensive line. These unexpected moves gave Palatina a premonition that the situation was changing subtly, and that the prospects for the Imperial Crusade were probably far less optimistic than the command had anticipated.
The events that followed in the next two months confirmed her ominous premonition: the regular army in the Far East was silent, but the militia guerrillas were unprecedentedly active, and the lines of communication and supply that the Imperial Army had managed to build were destroyed by the guerrillas in the blink of an eye. Especially for the railway, it only takes half an hour to open the tracks, but it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild it, which is a deep headache for General Karl, who is in charge of military logistics.
Today's attack on Colonel Mendelssohn was not an exception, but one of the more serious of the numerous harassments the Crusade had encountered in the past two months. Palatina had heard too much bad news, and to be honest, her nerves had become increasingly numb.
The "guerrilla warfare" of the Far Easterners was the so-called "law and order war" compared to the Imperial Expeditionary Force. Compared with the regular army in the Far East, the elusive guerrillas caused even more trouble to the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and maintaining law and order in the occupied areas became the number one drudgery that all Imperial generals avoided.
As far as Palatina knew, in just two months, a number of elite imperial knights who were responsible for maintaining law and order on the riverside had not had time to go into battle to kill the enemy, and they were tragically attacked by cold guns and fell off their horses in the "law and order war" to hunt down the guerrillas. The dignified nobles of the empire, the elite knights, if they went head-to-head, everyone had the strength to easily crush ten times the Far Eastern militia, and in this way, in a very aggrieved way, they died at the gunpoint of an unknown guerrilla, and they were unwilling to die in the Far East.
Seeing the Imperial Crusade running into walls everywhere in the Far East, as if stepping into a quagmire and sinking deeper and deeper, Palatina did not know what to do, so she could only try to maintain the status quo and hope that the situation would improve.
……
In the southern border of the Kingdom of Kolas, at the junction of the Celestial Desert and the Gulf of Parnia, the two mountain ranges extend vertically and parallelly, blocking the storm from the Coral Sea in the east and the wild sand from the desert in the west, making the narrow valley between the two mountains present a peculiar climate environment, and bury rich reserves of magic crystal veins.
The "Twilight Valley" is more than 2,000 miles deep from south to north, and there are more than 800 magic crystal mines in total, half of which are controlled by the Naraku Order, and the rest are the property of the royal family of Parnia. There are still a large number of proven but unmined magic crystal veins in the middle of the valley, and neither the Parnia nor the Naraku Order want to give up their wealth in front of them, so the middle of the valley will inevitably become a Shura field where the forces of the two sides collide fiercely, and countless conflicts have broken out over the years, and bones and rusty swords and armor fragments can be seen everywhere.
