……

That is, on the fourteenth day of Alberta's training of soldiers, the town of Artemt.

General Atos is relatively tall. And has a general's belly. He's beaming these days! Because he has already obtained another batch of Imperial Support Equipment. Although it is an old only son rear-loading bolt-action rifle. But the number of these rifles exceeded eight thousand. It just solved his urgent need to expand the army. Although he got this latest rifle, but at what cost? Of course, all the iron ore, proven gold deposits, copper deposits, and iron ore deposits in the five towns he had just occupied, namely Artemt, Holozt, Coonte, Filito, and Mz, which he had just occupied, were under his full control.

Although the country of Akron Yatin is small in size, it has the fifth largest mineral reserves in the world. Therefore...... The Empire has long had its sights set on this.

But Athos didn't care if the Empire was exploiting the resources of the Akron Diet. He was only concerned with expanding his army, and sought support from the empire for guns and military spending. and seeking food support from the Empire for military rations.

General Athos had been engaged in a bloody battle with three other rebel generals ten days earlier. In the name of a banquet, he gathered the other three rebel generals at his place and killed the other three rebel generals in one fell swoop!

Thereafter...... General Atos exterminated the armies of other rebel generals. He then gathered the other rebel soldiers who had been other generals who had surrendered to him.

This, combined with his annexation of the other three rebel groups, and the fact that he recruited some more soldiers, brought his rebel army to more than 38,000 men!

But he only had 20,000 one-son rifles, plus the 8,000 rifles that the empire had just provided him, and he had 10,000 unarmed.

Just as General Athos was pondering how to ask the Empire for weapons. His adjutant, Colonel Octom, came to General Athos's side, and he said to General Athos with a tense voice: "Your Excellency, a man who claimed to be an officer that day, in fact he was an officer of the spy of the Akron Atyn Parliament, came to the cavalry position of the Akron Ateen State that we were besieging and rescued the eight cavalrymen, and now we all thought that all eight cavalrymen had been killed by artillery fire. But now they're back in the village of Aklan! I heard that gunfire is often heard in the village of Aklan, and I think ......"

After hearing this, General Athos raised his eyebrows! He had a great idea right away. So instead of annoying him, he was happy!

……

General Atos did not consider that squad of eight or nine cavalry a nuisance. Some villagers just like to make a fuss. Even if the cavalry of eight or nine men fled, how much of a threat could it achieve? General Athos believed that he already had more than thirty-eight thousand soldiers, of whom twenty-eight thousand had rifles. Even if it's the army of the Imperial Parliament...... Oh, there's no more Parliament! Thinking of this, General Athos slowly thought: the Akron Yatin Parliament has been destroyed by the so-called Generalissimo Oshasin! Of course...... Generalissimo Oshasin was once the Generalissimo of the Tribunal. But who destroyed the court after all? Isn't he a "hero"? He, the "hero" of the rebels!

So...... General Athos slowly thought: Where else is the Akron Yatin Council? There are only the military autonomous states of Akronya. Therefore, General Athos slowly thought: even this Akronya Military Autonomous State would not dare to have the courage to attack him easily! Attack him, General Athos.

It's not a question of whether you have the guts or not, but you don't dare at all! General Atos concluded that Generalissimo Oshasin did not have the ability and guts. Because Generalissimo Oshasin had a light infantry division of less than eight thousand people. Not only did he need to defend him with this lightly armed division, but he also had to fight against the armies loyal to the original court, as well as with various other armed forces. The officers who had once been members of the Imperial Council also led their soldiers to stand on their own.

Although the Akron Yatin Parliament is still a complete country on the surface, it has actually been divided into a situation where countless large and small armed forces are fighting...... And he, the Guards Regiment of General Athos, is the greatest force!

While General Athos was pondering, Colonel Octom looked at General Athos with a smile and pondered something. He thought to himself, "It's broken, it's broken...... General Athos will not allow defeat, he is sneering now, I am not sure that these eight or nine cavalrymen will come up with a way to toss me......"

But General Aalto not only did not toss Colonel Octom. He also comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid...... These people are not a problem. Colonel Octom was stunned, he had never guessed General Athoth's thoughts. But he knew that his life had escaped.

In fact, General Athos's real idea is to exaggerate the nine cavalry of the court this time, and after destroying them, he can ask the empire for another 10,000 rifles! That's what he's really for.

He coughed lightly twice and said slowly, "In that case, let the Frum Regiment go and destroy them!" ”

When Colonel Octom heard this, he thought, "Okay...... It's nothing to do without me! ”

This Froome regiment was under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Froome, and the whole regiment consisted of 1,800 people. The regiment of 1,600 men was equipped with one-child bolt-action rifles. This regiment seems to be militarily strong, but ...... In fact, this regiment was originally a direct soldier of General Ames's Guards Regiment. However, Lieutenant Colonel Froome saw the situation clearly, and after General Ake's Guards, General Pickering's Guards, and General Ames's Guards were wiped out by General Athos, he took the lead in defecting to General Athos.

Of course, General Athos asked Lieutenant Colonel Froome to go to the village of Akram in order to buy people's hearts, which means: Look at how good General Athos is, and treat everyone equally...... With such a good chance to destroy the enemy, I gave it all to the surrendered troops.

In this way, Colonel Octom immediately found Froome and ordered his regiment to attack.

……

On the afternoon of the fourteenth day of training in Alberta, he was observing infantry training when he suddenly felt the molecular bonds around him flutter. It's like an anxious wind!

Alberta senses: something big is about to happen!

At this time, reconnaissance activities were carried out outside the village, and the young adults who were conducting reconnaissance missions in the villages near the town of Artemt quickly ran back. Report to Alberta: "Sir! According to our probing ...... The town of Artemt marched with a regiment of 1,800 men. Judging by the route, the destination is the village of Aklan! ”

Alberta was overjoyed! He exclaimed, "Great! Sierhart on the side was stunned: "I said...... Are you alright, Chief Alberta? Scared silly by the Empire? Of course, among these people, only Sierhart dared to joke with Alberta like that.

Alberta feigned anger: "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm glad we can finally get the money! ”

Sierhart was stunned: "Money?" How to get the money? ”

Faltober, on the side of Alberta, was listless...... This period has been conducting military training, which can be regarded as depressing...... He doesn't care about anything other than money......

When he heard Alberta say, "Here's the money," he was shocked: "What money?" Where is the money? ”

Alberta smiled: "Win this battle, and we'll have the money to come to the door!" ”

By this time, fifty young men who had been sent out by Alberta to bring twenty boxes of grenades to the arms cache had returned to the village. Alberta distributed the grenades as quickly as possible. Of course, the eight cavalrymen who distributed said to the soldiers: "There is a cover on the wooden pole here, and when you unscrew the cover, you pull the ring and throw the grenade out!" It's like training throwing on a weekday. "These soldiers didn't understand at first why Alberta let them train to throw stones, now they understand! It turned out that there were grenades.

The remaining fifty young men also returned to the village. They brought nearly a thousand sacks. Alberta began to arm soldiers. And let each soldier carry ten sacks that hold nothing. Afterwards, Alberta told the village chief that he needed to take one hundred and fifty soldiers with him, leaving fifty soldiers and Sergeant Würth to guard the village chief. Of course, the village chief gladly agreed. However, Sergeant Würth regretted not being able to participate in the war.

Alberta led the soldiers as fast as they could to the Colanto Pass. The Koranto Pass is the gateway to the village of Akran and several villages in the northern part of the Akron Yatin Kingdom. The northern part of the Akron Diet is surrounded by mountains. Therefore, to enter the village of Akran, it is necessary to pass through the Koranto Mountains. The Coranto Mountains are long and narrow from north to south, and the pass is only one kilometer wide...... And if you want to go up the mountain, you must pass through the mountain pass, and go up the mountain from the north of the mountain pass. Therefore, the army attacking from the south had no other way than to make a frontal assault on the Alberta army guarding the area.

This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain facing the south of Kolanto is very difficult for the rebels of General Atos's Guards to climb. For climbing Mount Coranto from the south, it is undoubtedly a nightmare for climbers. Because the south face is a steep, almost vertically erected cliff, it is impossible to climb at all. Therefore, Alberta's choice of position in the middle of the Colanto Mountain Pass, that is, the location of the Colanto Pass, was extremely conducive to defense.

If you want to climb Mount Coranto, there is a second way: from the north, but the range of the mountain is so wide that you have to go through the pass, where Alberta defends. Therefore, the Albertan army, which was defending in the mountain passes, undoubtedly occupied quite favorable terrain.

The natural natural barrier of Mount Coranto is undoubtedly the best place for defense.
