"Let you prepare for the defense of the artillery, and change positions after firing a few shots, but in the first round of artillery we lay down one artillery group and seriously injured two, how did the artillery do it? Just don't take the enemy seriously?"

"The enemy is really so weak and incompetent, what else do you want our legion to do? Just hang up the task entrustment in the service center, and let those ADHD patients who used to be adventurers and now complain that there is no place to toss to brush it themselves?"

At Prell Castle, the headquarters of the Second Front in the "Gatehouse", Finn banged on the workbench.

No wonder he was angry, after receiving the notification of the establishment of the Red Alliance, Finn decided to fire a few shots to make the brothers of the front army happy. Of course, it is also the purpose to seduce the magic cannon of the Imperial Legion to open fire, and to destroy those belongings that are still a bit of a threat to the Red Alliance.

The reconnaissance planes that fired at the school went out and fought with the opponent's fighters, but this did not affect the artillery performance. As long as there are communication repeaters in the air, any aircraft integrated into the tactical network can be used as a reconnaissance aircraft.

The artillery battle went smoothly at first, and the Imperial Legion was soon dumbed out with a dozen or so long-range magic cannons. But I didn't expect that the other party still hit a square explosion cannon, the magic guide cannon was moderately damaged, and all ten members were injured, if there was no artillery armor, all of them would be reimbursed.

One of the two seriously injured had half of his head rotten and could not withstand soul surgery, so he could only hang his life with conservative therapy, and then use medicine to stimulate the soul to heal on its own, which is equivalent to starting from a child and growing again. The other had broken both legs, and because of his low level, he couldn't withstand limb regeneration, so he could only use prosthetics temporarily.

Above the workbench floated the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, Wen Wen weakly looked at the calculation magician, he blushed and defended: "All the artillery crews strictly follow the combat regulations, and after three rapid fires, they move their positions, and the artillery crew that is hit is hit in the transfer!"

Finn laughed angrily, "You mean, they just poured blood mold?"

The commander of the artillery battalion said solemnly: "The magic cannon of the Imperial Legion is not accurate, and the closest Flame Burst Technique from our firing position is more than two hundred meters away. If you don't follow the instructions, that crew won't be hit. ”

Finn froze, then didn't know what to say.

After a while, he glared angrily again: "You should have also received the artillery information of the Imperial Legion there, since you know that those guys are simply blind with their eyes closed, you should be flexible and don't have to dogmatically obey the rules!"

The artillery battalion commander was stunned and said: "Commander, before the battle, you said that you can't pin your hopes on the enemy making mistakes, so we have to make sure that we don't make mistakes." ”

Finn closed his eyes in pain, he did.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and mutter: "Mah, did those scum bring in Lady Luck to help?"

The artillery battalion commander said again: "It would be easy if we could have a protective barrier." ”

Finn sighed: "No way, our magic oil has not been dispensed yet, and now we have to save all the supplies." ”

Just as he was about to terminate the communication, a message appeared in his field of vision, which was from the Legion Committee.

Looking at the distorted face of the commander, the artillery battalion commander knew that it must be bad news.

After a while, the images of the commander of the air force, the commander of the 1st Armored Brigade, Ektea, and the political commissar and chief of staff of the front army all appeared on the workbench.

Finn informed his subordinates: "There has been news from the central government that the Legion of the Imperial Rimako has gathered twelve legions in the direction of the Kist and is heading towards Red Eagle City. This force is less than 50,000 people, but it is far more elite than the Donn Legion we are facing. It has four or five hundred magic guide planes, the same number of magic guide chariots, and twenty floating ships. ”

"Considering that there are still at least sixty floating ships on the Empress's side that have not shown up, the central government has decided to rely on the mobile fortress south of Red Eagle City to defend and counterattack, and after the victory of that battle, the founding ceremony will be held. ”

Seeing that his subordinates looked excited, his tone turned to frustration: "This also means that all kinds of materials will be prioritized for the deployment of the First Front Army. ”

The subordinates wailed, and it seemed that the Second Front Army had to squat in the pit and hold on.

Finn continued: "On the other hand, Prell City should be absolutely neutral, and we don't have to worry about that place. But it also means that Don doesn't have to have a headache and he can free up his hands to focus on us. ”

"The central government has asked us not only to hold the Alpha Zone firmly, but also to contain as many Imperial Legions as possible. At the same time, do not fight a war of attrition and positional warfare, and do not cause too much damage to the cities and people in the territory of the Hadron Kingdom. ”

The subordinates shouted louder, and Aketya shouted, "To the boss, is the subordinate an unreasonable demand for a converter?"

The political commissar was a templar, and said solemnly: "Don't say strange things! And you don't know what kind of face you have when you give orders to your subordinates?"

Actya scratched her head embarrassedly and smiled......

Then Finn said: "The central government also said that military supplies that have nothing to do with people's daily necessities can be ...... Self-funded. ”

Aketea's eyes lit up: "Huh......"

She asked hurriedly, "Didn't you order us not to enter the Hadran Kingdom?"

Finn shook his head: "No, it's just that it's not allowed to be a large-scale siege." ”

Actya, the commander of the air force, and the commissar pinched their chins in contemplation at the same time, and then said at the same time: "I have a ......"

Finn interrupted them, "Do you still have ideas? ”

He smiled thiefly: "It's not good for the Central Committee to be so direct, the general political commissar of Gambit leaked the bottom for me, and if I lack something, I will go to Hadron to grab it." ”

"What do we lack?

"Lack of magic oil, go and grab their magic guide material warehouse, and replace the looted magic crystals with magic oil!"

"Missing...... No, we don't lack anything, but we can grab Don En as the captain of the fire, and then circle the fork, and then circle the fork, which will not contain him. ”

"Why should we be stupid enough to block in front of Don and fight with his 100,000-strong army? We can easily defeat him, but like in the artillery battle just now, we will inevitably have many casualties. ”

"What's the best thing about us?"

Finn's words made his subordinates completely figure it out, although they were a little entangled, why the style of war had changed again, but it was both labor-saving and very efficient, so why not?

Then Aketea frowned and said, "There are about thirty tons of jackdaws, and even monkfish can't lift them." ”

The commander of the independent armored battalion said: "If you dismantle the armor, if you can't do it, don't go to the jackdaw, after all, there must be some armored troops left on the front to deter the Imperial Legion." ”

Aketya raised her eyebrows and said, "That's right!"

........................

At dawn, about ten kilometers north of Prell City, in the new legion headquarters, Tang En closed the battle report and rubbed his brows a little tiredly.

Last night's artillery battle resulted in the loss of another twelve fighters and twenty-two magic guns. Fortunately, the loss of high-powered magic cannons accounted for one-third of the money he had on hand. Before the war began, the forces he relied on were heavily lost.

He now has twenty-two legions under his command, all of which are almost twice the number of the Rimak legions in the direction of Kist. However, these legions are either temporary local legions, or they were recruited shortly after the establishment of the empire, except for the replacement of magic guide guns, other equipment and training are still stuck in the old era, and there are only three or four legions that can fight modern warfare.

The total number of three or four hundred magic planes looks quite scary, the fighters are old goods from last year, the pilots are newcomers recruited last month, and the performance of the two air battles has already said everything.

"So...... I didn't want to do it, but I had the only choice. ”

Tang En made a painful decision, and the only way to shake the enemy on the opposite side was to use the blood of himself and the officers and soldiers.

No matter how fierce the opponent's guns are, no matter how much sacrifice, as long as you lead the legion to charge again and again and nail the opponent in place, it is a victory!

Of course, if you can storm the Godfall Plateau, you will be able to make extra money, and if not, you can at least capture the castle behind Prell City. It was Richie's ancestral castle, where he lived for a long time.

Once the battle policy was clear, Don began to draw up orders, and he knew very well that every order meant the loss of hundreds and thousands of lives, but this was war......

In the morning, after the order was prepared, let the attendants hand it over to the staff officers for consultation. Noticing that there was no movement from the Red Union Legion on the opposite side, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, there was a lot of prayer in the barracks, but it was not organized by the Church of Order. The Order Church received an urgent order to begin a regroup, a spontaneous prayer for the officers and soldiers.

Looking at the faces that shone with resolute brilliance and listening to their pious prayers, Don was extremely moved.

Most of the officers and men of the Legion were simple children from remote towns and villages, and they sincerely believed that they were fighting for the Emperor of Order, and believed that they were fighting against the "Crimson Heresy" similar to demons and demons. They were full of blood and were not afraid to sacrifice, not only to live to receive their salaries, rewards, and medals, but also to desire that His Majesty the Emperor would take them to heaven when they died in battle.

"Those hateful magicians!"

Don was indignant at the thought that most magicians were immersed in earning gold bushels for themselves, disdaining to contribute their wisdom to His Majesty, researching and creating magic weapons that could rival those of Richie's side.

Now there is only one way to lead these lovely people to complete the mission entrusted by His Majesty with flesh and blood.

He said to his attendants, "Don't wake me up as long as it's not the enemy coming." ”

Don hadn't closed his eyes for several days, and he decided to get a good night's sleep for the next big battle.

He didn't open his eyes until late in the afternoon, rubbing his eyes on the marching bed and asking the attendants what was going on.

The squire said, "The enemy didn't come!"

Tang En exhaled with relief, and then the squire said, "But the enemy has appeared in several cities in the middle of the kingdom!"

"What ——!?"

Don En jumped up, and his eyes were about to pop out as he carried the attendant: "Why don't you wake me up!?"

The attendant said aggrievedly and in horror: "This is your order, commander-in-chief! The enemy didn't fight, they just did!"

Tang En was so angry that he almost vomited blood, threw away his attendants, and was about to find someone to understand the situation, when the adjutant rushed in: "The Red Alliance army has appeared in Iron Crown City, and they have broken into the palace!"

Tang En only felt a chill in his body, and shouted loudly: "Floating ships!

..................

In the Iron Crown City Palace, although the protective barrier is wide open, it can't stop the magic planes that fly and advance by stirring the air.

Six Salmon attack planes rained 200 kilograms of bomblets onto the top of the fortress and on the surrounding batteries, destroying several anti-aircraft magic cannons. Then use the machine guns to strafe several pillboxes that are still resisting.

Six manta transport planes rushed in, the machine guns on the sides of the fuselage cleared the remnants of resistance from the top of the palace, and more than sixty commandos dressed in regimental arms jumped directly from the gangplank door at the tail of the plane, led by scouts wearing flying saucer helmets, blasted with engineering equipment, and entered the palace.

The dignified Hadron Kingdom will not be directly broken into the palace by a dozen or so magic guide planes, but the air power that can stop them has been cleared by a dozen or so sardine fighters in the higher sky. Even if there is a legend present at this time, there is nothing they can do in the face of a magic guide fighter that can fly at a speed of more than 900 kilometers per hour and can fly to an altitude of 20,000 meters.

The palace was in chaos, but the royal guards were in order, and they had assembled to guard the palace and the dormitory according to the procedures they had done countless times, while the other part of the people escorted Princess Regent Ariel from the secret passage to the underground magic well area. Not only are protective barriers placed there, but there are also portals to safe locations.

The princess regent shouted as she ran, "Richie is really bad!

Ariel was pulled out of bed by the guards, and she was still taking a nap. Wearing a nightdress, stepping on slippers, his hair was messy, and he didn't forget to hold his rolling plush toy when he ran. Although most people are regarded as a terrifying monster by the black and white giant bear that appeared in the Ancestor Calamity, Ariel knows what it is and loves it very much.

Ariel thought indignantly, "If Litchie really wants to see me, he invited me to visit in the name of Aurora, why did he use such rude means to arrest me." ”

She personally has a good impression of Li Qi, and her relationship with Aurora was originally good, because of the Temple of Grace incident, she was saved by Aurora and Li Qi successively, and she was even more grateful, and she usually maintained close contact with Aurora through the Book of Trade Winds, until she was pushed to the position of regent, and she had some scruples to reduce her contacts.

Now Li Qi actually sent troops to arrest her!?

If it was Aurora who lured her over there and was detained, she honestly thought it would be a good solution.

Now, her perception of Richie and even Aurora has completely deteriorated, and it makes sense for Theresia to turn against them.

I was confused, I stumbled under my feet, and I fell and ate. The guards didn't care about the image and majesty of the princess regent, so they directly picked her up and put her under her armpit and ran away.

"Let go of me!"

Ariel frightened the guards with a divine light technique, broke free from him, stepped on the ground barefoot, and said awe-inspiringly: "I am the princess regent, and I have to walk on my own Ruth...... Hiss ......"

The floor was so cold that she was shivering on her feet.

Even so, she insisted on walking on her own, and soon came deep underground.

It's still an underground palace built during the time of the old king Tragdi, so it's unlikely that anyone will know about it.

The palace steward and a dozen or so guards led Ariel into the magic well, where the enchantment, secret portal, and magic well were all in one place, so that the cost of building a magic circuit could be minimized, and it would be convenient to keep it secret.

The butler was activating the portal when the ceiling exploded, and a dozen or so samurai wrapped in polished full-body armor and wearing strange helmets fell to the ground in the smoke and rubble.

The guards drew their swords in a sonorous manner, and the other party raised their guns in an uproar, and the two sides fell into a standoff for a while.

The guard's long sword flashed, and the other party fired a shot at the ceiling above their heads, and the rubble fell again with a clatter, and the butler and the guards were stunned to see the rock floor more than half a meter thick being shot through a hole the size of a human head.

The captain of the other side said, "Don't move, don't resist, we're not here to kill." ”

The butler stood in front of Ariel and said sadly, "Don't try to capture the princess unless you step on my corpse!"

The guards knew that they were no opponent at all, but they also surrounded the butler with awe-inspiring expressions, ready to sacrifice.

The captain's hand that was reaching for the core crystal of the protective enchantment center froze, "Hey, Princess Ariel is here?"

The housekeeper was dumbfounded: "......"

The guard was dumbfounded: "......"

The samurai in the flying saucer helmet spread his hands: "This is difficult. ”

Seeing the captain take off the nuclear crystal and the protective enchantment disappear, the housekeeper's eyes widened, not knowing whether he was angry or annoyed, and he stammered: "You, you just, that's what you came to get this, this!?"

The captain nodded honestly, and then said to the butler whose cheeks were wrinkled like bitter melons: "But Princess Ariel is here, if we don't take it away, we will be counted down by our superiors and don't know how to adapt." ”

The flying saucer shook as if nodding: "Yes, if the boss doesn't want it, we can put it back, if we don't take it away, there will definitely be unnecessary casualties." ”

"Let's ...... Get out of the way!"

Ariel, who was wearing a nightdress, squeezed out from behind, held a plush toy, held her chin high, and said, "Don't embarrass my subordinates, I'll go with you!"

When the steward and the guards tried to stop him, Ariel said, "I will go to Richie and scold him, and make him promise not to hurt the Hadran!

Since the princess had said so, and she really couldn't beat the other party, the butler and the guards had to watch Ariel go with each other in a daze.

After taking two steps, Ariel pointed to the captain with the bucket helmet and said, "Hug me! Don't you see me barefoot?"

The captain helplessly picked her up with one hand, and the flying saucer head smiled: "Do you regret it?"

As a result, Hadron's regent Princess Ariel was abducted as a gift for the Red Union Second Front commando to snatch the protective enchantment nuclear crystal. Compared with some helpless or even reluctant hijackers, hostages are more like the active party.

Less than an hour later, this group of "flying thieves" took the snatched enchantment core, magic crystal, and a princess, boarded the transport plane from the top of the palace, and took off under the escort of salmon, and slapped their butts and left in front of the eyes of countless citizens of the royal capital.

At the same time, the same thing happened in four other cities, and of course there were no princesses to hijack. The garrisons of those cities were even weaker, and it took less than half an hour or even ten minutes for the assault team to leave.

By the time the ten floating ships led by Tang En arrived at Iron Crown City, the moon was high in the night sky, and his floating ships were all old models, and their speeds were only about 100 kilometers per hour.

"These bastards!How can they be so vile and shameless!?"

Hearing the news that the princess had been kidnapped, and then learning that the Red Alliance army was just here to protect the barrier, Tang En didn't know what to scold.

After working hard for a long time, the well-bred model knight scolded aggrievedly: "You guys fight with me well, bastard!"
