Chapter 17: The Battle of Taolu
"Anjie! Let's be the old man's daughter!! ”
“………… What?!!! ”
A slightly noisy wind blew, leaving An Jie, who was messy in the wind.
(Daughter?!) What the heck?!! )
"Lieutenant Colonel of Middle, Middle, Middle!!! What do you mean by that?! ”
It's no wonder that the girl is so confused, who suddenly meets an old man and shouts in tears, "I want to be your father!" Probably all the same reaction!
An Jie's heart was hurt by 10,000 points!
Anjie's SAN has dropped to single digits!
An Jie is strongly mentally polluted, and An Jie is crazy!
Anjie has lost her combat effectiveness and can't get up again!!
Seeing that the girl was scorched by her own words, Lieutenant Colonel Thompson may have realized that what he said was too abrupt. So he carefully let go of the girl in his arms.
"I'm sorry, Anjie. It's me who is so excited! ”
Pulling a handkerchief from his bosom, the lieutenant colonel wiped away his tears.
"I really didn't expect you to be the lieutenant's child!"
"Ahaha......"
What else could she do but laugh dryly?
"I know you have a lot of doubts, and that's okay. I will explain them to you one by one, An Jie also wants to know what kind of person her father is, right? ”
(No, I don't want to!) )
Who knows what the hell did Cheap Daddy do?!
He was able to make a "godfather" for his daughter who had never seen him! I don't want to hear about his glorious deeds!
"Yes! I'm curious! ”
……………… Kneel! Kneel down to this body that betrays its own brain!
"That was a long, long time ago............"
(Do you want to talk about a long story?!! )
"Eleven years ago, in 1664."
(1664?) It was the day I was born. …… Well? 1664? )
"In that year, there was a great event that shook the whole country!" The lieutenant colonel glanced at An Jie's expression: "You have already guessed what it is, right?" ”
(No, no, no, I didn't guess anything!) )
“…… It was the Battle of Tomranka, and on April 15, 1664, a unit of Ambrizet's army wandered near the border between the two countries under the guise of an armed parade, and the provocative Empire kept sending telegrams warning them of the transgression. But this force has always maintained a way of action that allows the empire to focus its attention on itself, but also guards the empire's bottom line and does not take a critical step. ”
(For the sake of image in front of the boss...... )
“…… The operation was later confirmed to be a feint to cover up the spy forces. When the Empire gathered its troops along the border and the atmosphere in the headquarters was tense, spies lurking in the territory of the Empire raided the royal family's vacation manor and kidnapped the eldest princess of the Empire. Am I right? ”
It was Colonel Anson who suddenly spoke, and he looked a little depressed when he walked out of the commander's office: "I'm sorry, Anjie, I ............"
"The official establishment hasn't been approved, has it? It's okay! ”
The girl smiled sweetly at him: "I will wait patiently!" ”
(What if you're impatient?!) There's not much more that can be done now. )
“…… Thank you. With a wry smile, he said: "Obviously, I recruited you into the army, and now that my promise has not been fulfilled, it is up to you to comfort me, and what I, the introducer, has really failed." ”
"It's not your fault, boy! Where did we just talk about? The three of them stood together, and the old man tried to bring the conversation back to the battle.
"You spoke of the Imperial Princess's abduction, Lieutenant Colonel."
"Well, after the Imperial Princess's abduction, the military department was reprimanded by His Majesty the Emperor, and ordered that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess must be rescued within seven days! For reasons of speed, the military department did not send a large army, but screened a rescue team composed of general-level officers, and the vacuum of power was taken over by the rest of the generals. ”
An Jie was so frightened by the news that she almost jumped!
"General, general?! A rescue team consisting entirely of generals?!!! ”
Who knew that Colonel Anson and Lieutenant Colonel Thompson both nodded as a matter of course: "The generals who have been tempered by thousands of hammers and hammers have a combat ability that those non-commissioned officers can't catch up with!" In the absence of large-scale legions, the only way to strengthen individual combat power as much as possible is to let the generals dispatch. Is there anything wrong with that? ”
Anjie: "........................"
(Isn't the general you are talking about different from what I recognize?!! )
Ignoring An Jie's silence, Lieutenant Colonel Thompson continued the conversation.
"After the generals dispatched, it took five days to rescue Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.................. This was supposed to be the end of the matter. ”
"And then?" An Jie is really curious at the moment! This plot is like some kind of movie that makes scum, although it is full of slots, but I just can't help but want to watch it!
"What happened next?"
"The rescued princess is fake."
"Oh! Fake ...... Fake ?!! ”
it! It's full of routines!
"Hmm." This can speak is Colonel Anson: "The princess was confirmed by the queen to be a fake, although the face is exactly the same, but there are subtle differences in life habits. The military department was scolded by the emperor again because of this! ”
(………… Again? …… )
"There was no other way, the marshals of the military department had to form a team to rescue the princess again, but at this time, Ambrizette officially declared war! As the top force in the war, the generals had no way to get out of the way, and the candidates for the rescue team had to be re-selected within the army. ”
(The general can't let the minions go up, yes, it's very imperial.) )
"And your father is in the new batch, Anjie."
"Huh?" It was Colonel Anson who was surprised, "An Jie's father was in this army?" ”
"That's right, and it's the most special one of them!"
"Most Special ............"
“!!!!!”
An Jie looked at the lieutenant colonel and the colonel whose face had changed dramatically as if she was in reminiscence.
(What the hell did my cheap daddy do?!) Why do you talk about him all with this expression! )
"Anjie's father, in that unit, Scarlett ............ Your father is Cliff Scarlett!! ”
The morning sun is shining, today is obviously a rare good weather, but An Jie always feels that the air is filled with a special demonic nature.
(So, what the hell did my cheap daddy do!) )
"So, what the hell did my cheap daddy do!"
……………… Cimata! Say what is in your heart!!
But His Excellency the Colonel did not care about this, but sighed with some regret:
"Lieutenant Cliff is a true hero! In 1664 he was only a sergeant. But he led a group of officers with a higher rank than him to rescue Her Royal Highness the eldest princess after twists and turns along the way! His comrades on the same team were convinced of him! At that time, I was just a private struggling on the Western Front. ”
(A sergeant and a group of officers fight their way to save the princess.................. Routines, full TM is routines! )
Unlike the Battle of Tomlanka in the history books that An Jie knew, much of the information revealed in the conversation between the two school officers was not in the books.
(No is correct!) This kind of routine history that advocates individual heroism is unbelievable when it is shown to children! )
An Jie, who didn't know that in the near future, she would become the "personal heroist" she despised for various reasons, and was angrily denouncing 1664 in her heart!
"After successfully rescuing Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, the time has entered the middle of December, and your father has been ordered to be transferred to the industrial zone on the inner side of the Western Front to participate in the final act of a series of battles in Tomranka"
(The climactic plot is coming!) )
"This battle is the 'Rising Campaign.'"
At this time, the three of them had already walked to the square in the center of the headquarters, facing the sun that had fully risen, and the Imperial Double Dragon Banner was fluttering in the wind.
Looking at the flag, all three of them lost their minds slightly.
"Every Imperial man knows about that battle! Every Imperial man has its results in mind! ”
"Because ———— 'Rising Campaign' represents the breaking of the empire's undefeated history for nearly a hundred years!"
"That was the first time that Ambrizette's anti-gravity magic destroyer came into the world's sight!"
The lieutenant colonel was right, An Jie went through the history she had learned in her mind. The "Rising Campaign" is that everyone knows history, and in terms of the result, it was a complete fiasco! She was born after the fiasco, and the social upheaval caused by the defeat lasted for several years, so she was particularly impressed.
The Anti-Gravity Magic Destroyer is different from the traditional magic technique that Ambrizette specializes in injecting magic into the magic to drive the magic channel. It is filled and driven by the secondary processing of magic power into a single solid substance with anti-gravity properties, "anti-gravity matter".
Anti-gravity matter fills into the engine, and five to ten of these large anti-gravity engines can lift a 3,000-ton Magus destroyer into the sky!
"In the 'Ascent Campaign', in the face of the magic guide destroyer that suddenly rushed down from a height of 20,000 meters, the commanders on the scene couldn't come up with any effective way to stop them, and it was still your father who stood up at this time!"
(Coming back!! )
“………… I'm ...... What did the father do? ”
"He didn't do anything, he just contacted the Central Command as soon as possible and asked them to bring as many anti-aircraft guns as possible."
Lieutenant Colonel Thompson, a veteran who had personally participated in that war, scowled:
"But it was this move that made the commanders on the scene turn around, and finally shot down seven of the sixteen ships that attacked!"
"The last nine destroyers are also scarred. I couldn't raise the height, and finally chose to self-destruct! ”
"The self-detonation site of the nine destroyers was placed in the city of Mousse, which was close at hand after many moves, and the leaked anti-gravity material 'blew up' the entire city of Mousse! I can't believe it's real without seeing it with my own eyes! ”
"Mousse, a big city with a population of two million! It's like being abandoned by the earth, slowly rising from the ground under the action of anti-gravity matter! Gravel wrapped in dead human corpses rose into the sky, cows, sheep and livestock swayed on their limbs, and someone grabbed something that could be borrowed but useless! ”
"The empire knows very little about the magic guide, and the staff officers and marshals who rushed from the central command can only watch as Mousse City slowly rises into the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters, but there is no way to stop it!"
"We pilots are trying to dodge the debris in the airspace of Mousse City and rescue the citizens, but how much can we save even if we are desperate?!"
The lieutenant colonel, who thought of the sad thing, clenched his hands tightly, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh!
"What can we do if we don't know anything about magicals?!"
