Chapter 44: An eerie atmosphere
With the appearance of soldiers from the entire empire, Rogue Town, which was already poised to attack, is now moving even more quickly.
Twenty kilometers away, far away, close and near, under the leadership of the leader of the Firefly Organization, whether it is the Firefly team members or the ordinary residents of Rogue Town, at this time, they are all collectively in position towards the forward position.
Except for some of the personnel left behind, and the buildings that were equipped with heavy firearms, there was hardly anyone to be seen in the entire town of Rogue anymore.
As for the women and children, they had already been arranged to a safe area in advance to avoid the Empire's counterattack on Rogue Town.
Carl, on the other hand, seems to have disappeared since that day, and the others have never cared where he is.
Even now, when the war is imminent, no one asks where he is.
For this situation, Carl felt relieved, after all, even if he was now a member of the Firefly Organization, he still had a little estrangement in his heart after all.
Now that he can fight alone, he is exempted from the problem of tacit cooperation. Naturally, the people of the Firefly Organization would not be naΓ―ve to think that Carl was afraid of the next battle and chose to dodge.
How could a person who could directly destroy the entire Viscount Rogue power in Rogue Town with his own strength have cowardice?
When the troops on the Firefly Organization's side had completely entered the defensive position, the whole scene became extremely quiet.
Especially those residents of Rogue Town, who are already ordinary people, where have they experienced such a large-scale battle?
It's war! War kills!
However, although these ordinary residents were all pale at this time, and their hands were trembling and holding their weapons, the leader of the Firefly Organization did not have a good way to deal with it.
Combat experience is not something that can be made up for overnight, not to mention that what these ordinary residents lack more now is the awareness and mentality of being a warrior.
Carl, who had been lying on the barren mountain, had already seen the posture and appearance of these ordinary residents clearly through his sniper rifle lens.
Although he felt a little helpless in his heart, fortunately, from the beginning, they didn't expect much from these ordinary residents.
In fact, what they value more is the attitude and consciousness of these ordinary residents! The Firefly wants to take a share of freedom from the Gamma Empire.
But if these people are not people who yearn for freedom from the bottom of their hearts, then no matter how much you try to fight for that freedom for them, I am afraid that your efforts will be in vain.
You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, and you can never make a person hiding in a cage feel what it means to be free.
Fortunately, now, these ordinary residents of Rogue Town, although extremely frightened, still forced themselves to join in this guard battle, which also made Carl and these fireflies feel that everything was worth it.
Finally, the distance of twenty kilometers was quickly covered by the soldiers of the Empire.
"Look! The enemy has appeared! β
The fireflies in charge of reconnaissance, as soon as they spotted the figure of those imperial soldiers, immediately conveyed the news of the enemy's approach.
Everyone was in good spirits, and if the prediction was good, I was afraid that the battle would break out soon.
Carl also looked intently at the magnification of the sniper rifle in his hand at this time, and with a farther line of sight, he could spot the Imperial soldier earlier than the Fireflyers.
Through the magnification mirror, Carl immediately observed the clothing of these imperial soldiers, and by observing their uniforms, ranks, and mental outlook, Carl could roughly identify which unit of the Gamma Empire the other party belonged to.
And after Karl observed, he was a little surprised to find that what appeared here was not the city defense army from other parts of the Gamma Empire, but a group of warriors wearing the uniforms of the Sword and Shield Coalition Army!
"How can it be the uniform of the Sword and Shield Coalition? At this time, shouldn't the main target of the Sword and Shield Combined Army be in the frontal battlefield with the Zeg Zerg? β
Karl frowned, and asked with some incomprehension.
However, after thinking about it, judging from the current firepower configuration of the Firefly Organization in Rogue Town, perhaps the upper echelons of the Gamma Empire also feel that sending other ordinary city defense troops to capture Rogue Town may have insufficient combat effectiveness.
In this comparison, the Sword and Shield Coalition, a team that has been fighting with the Zeg Zerg for a long time, is not comparable to those ordinary city defense forces in terms of combat experience and combat ability.
However, in this way, Carl is a little unsure of how to start.
This is the Sword and Shield Coalition! In a sense, the battle between the Gamma Empire and the Zeg Zerg can all rely on the efforts of the Sword and Shield Coalition.
They are not city defenses, or the power of the queen's lineage! In fact, if Carl and the Fireflies eliminated each additional member of the Sword and Shield Coalition, it would extend the time for the Gamma Empire to recover Loran.
"It's going to be hard now...... The Gamma Empire's arrangement this time is really worth figuring out......"
Obviously, the Sword and Shield Coalition Army, which is now subordinate to General Davin, is definitely not something that the Queen has the power to mobilize.
Not to mention the relationship between General Davin and Admiral Claude, there is a special relationship. Letting the Sword and Shield Coalition attack the Firefly Organization, in a sense, isn't it just letting one person's left hand fight the right hand?
At this time, as the Sword and Shield Coalition and others approached, the fireflies in the defensive position also discovered the problem at this time.
In fact, the relationship between the leader of the Firefly Organization, Admiral Claude, and Admiral Daven of the Sword and Shield Coalition is no secret.
Even in the mouths of some Fireflyers, the Sword and Shield Combine is known as the brother team of the Firefly Organization!
In their minds, the Firefly is responsible for dealing with the internal problems of the Gamma Empire, while the Sword and Shield Combine is responsible for dealing with the external problems of the Gamma Empire.
But now, why is it that these brothers are going to fight each other?
"Sir, what should I do? Are we going to fire? One of the fireflies immediately asked when he saw that the sword and shield forces had already entered the effective attack range.
As a result, the team leader frowned and refused, then looked ahead and said, "Don't be kidding, in our organization, who doesn't know that the people of the Sword and Shield Combine are our own people...... All the orders are given, no one is allowed to shoot without my orders! β
"Roger!"
After discovering the identity of the other party, the firefly organization did not dare to fire at will, and silently stayed in the defensive position.
Carl also maintained his secrecy when he found that the firefighters did not fire, silently watching everything that happened in the field.
As long as the situation changes, then he will also launch his own attack, even if he doesn't want to do it against the Sword and Shield United Army from the bottom of his heart.
When all the members of the Sword and Shield Coalition had come to a few kilometers away from the defensive position, they also stood silently in place, and did not launch any attack on the fireflies in front of them.
This peculiar performance immediately relieved the fireflies who were waiting for the battle. It seems that these members of the Sword and Shield Coalition are also reluctant to fight them.
However, after carefully counting, the number of this batch of sword and shield combined forces seems to be exactly in the scale of several thousand, according to Carl's previous experience, these sword and shield combined forces in front of him seem to have just sent 2 squadrons.
A squadron of 1,000 people, a brigade of 10,000 people, and occasionally a special squadron, and a few thousand people are indeed in this kind of team formation.
At this moment, two people directly walked out of the formation of the Sword and Shield Coalition Army, and judging from the performance of the team members, they should be the squadron leaders of these two squadrons.
"Hey! I really didn't expect you to come here for this mission, Colby! One of the squadron leaders looked at Squadron Leader Colby and said.
Colby smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Come on, Vic, you and I both know that this mission is a tricky job!" β
As soon as Vic heard Colby's words, his face immediately turned bitter, and he looked at the battalion or organization waiting in the distance, and he also felt extremely troubled.
Like the Firefly Organization, in their Sword and Shield United, it has long been rumored that the Firefly Organization and the Sword and Shield Combine are allies.
Although this rumor is not too reliable, Admiral Daven is in a state of default to it.
Now, this rumor is worth laughing about! In particular, after Carl left the imperial capital, Admiral Daven once made a big fuss in the imperial capital.
Even when the queen stood up to slander Carl, Admiral Daven directly supported Carl and reprimanded the queen fiercely.
If it weren't for Emperor Caesar's sudden exudation of an extremely terrifying momentum and forcibly stopping the impending armed conflict, I am afraid that an even more fierce armed conflict would have broken out in the imperial capital that day.
But even so, Admiral Davin angrily left the imperial capital with Silas and others, and even John and Leo did not carry out their canonization ceremony normally.
Regarding Admiral Dawen's behavior of not taking himself seriously at all, Emperor Caesar only smiled slightly at this and commented: "Dawen's temper is still so big!" β
After that, Emperor Caesar did not make any special moves, and it seems that he was not at all worried that Admiral Daven would do anything against him.
It's just that even so, the entire Gamma Empire's wanted warrant for Fire Phoenix Carl is still carried out normally......
