Royal Army, War Airship No. 72.

The commander of the 1st Airborne Division, Ingliel, leaned over the airship window, exhaling smoke irritably.

More than a month ago, he was one of the most influential generals and generals of the First Army of the Kingdom, and the First Airborne Division under his control had the most resources in the whole army, and he was the elite of the elite.

But half a month ago, he was defeated.

Kareni lost 85% of his troops in the battle, and even he almost lost himself to the enemy.

Back in the city of Gaciri, he completely became the laughing stock of the whole army.

Even the commander-in-chief of the group army clearly told him that the First Airborne Division would not be reorganized, so he was reduced from a general with real power to a division commander who was inferior to even a brigade-level officer.

2,600 ordinary troops, a squadron of mages, a brigade of professionals, and a war airship, these are the only remaining belongings in Inglier's hands, and he was completely kicked out of the game circle of harvesting military exploits.

The other generals are plundering and enjoying the victory.

He was the only one, and he was the only one, not only did it fail, but he even suspected that he would be prosecuted before a military tribunal after the war. This feeling of falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley made him, a general who was on the rise in his career, almost cry.

What he couldn't bear the most was that.

Yesterday he received an order from his superiors to occupy and plunder a medium-sized city.

Do you want him to be a general, and actually let him perform such a task of a regimental and deputy brigade officer?

This is clearly to tell him that the fun will not be played with you, and you will find a random city to watch us reap the military exploits.

Bang!

Ingrid slammed her fist into the window in anger.

"Damn, damn it, it's all that little ghost's fault!"

Inglier recalled the last scene of his escape from Kareni -

A young boy dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Army and holding the Red Eagle banner on a black background of the Empire, standing on a high tower, like a supreme emperor waving a million, completely destroyed his last glimmer of hope.

It was only then that English finally understood.

It wasn't Foster who defeated him, it was the kid who was about 12 years old, and only a kid like this could have come up with such a shameless and obscene tactic.

But from an objective point of view.

He still admired this child officer quite a lot, because he was not an officer, he had the ability to turn the tide of battle and pull up an army of millions at any time, and if he switched sides, Inglier thought that his hope of turning defeat into victory was no more than one percent.

"The airship is still 400 meters above the ground, the report said. ”

The adjutant's voice took his thoughts, and Ingliel waved his hand and said, "Let the magicians clear the field and start the landing operation as originally planned." ”

Boom Boom Boom –

A few firebursts fell, and the forest was immediately cleared out of a large clearing, and the war airship began to slowly land.

This is the conventional mode of combat of the Airborne Forces of various countries.

The Airborne Forces will land early at a moderate distance from the target city, and then the war airship will take off again and attack the gates, government buildings, law enforcement headquarters, barracks, and bridges of the target city...... and other important buildings to carry out the first round of bombing.

The bombing is over.

Ground troops took advantage of the situation to storm the city and, under the cover of war airships, wiped out all resistance force.

Including the last capture of the city of Kareni, this method of warfare was also adopted.

Generally speaking, a war airship will never carry airborne troops to a city and then land, because a war airship can hold a reinforced regiment, and if it is shot down in the middle of the first round of bombing, the consequences are unimaginable.

————

When the airship reaches an altitude of 400 meters.

Vega suddenly realized that the Kingdom Army was conducting a landing operation.

Later firebursts to clear the landing site, as well as the warships that continued to descend, had convinced Vega that the enemy was not coming at them, or even spotting them.

Since it is a landing operation, what is the target city?

Vega hurriedly unloaded his backpack, rummaged through it, and took out a detailed map of the northern military.

"Little Brother Vega?"

Falk glanced at the strange Vega and said, "Did you find anything, this war airship doesn't seem to be coming at us, as long as we pay attention to concealment, is it possible to avoid them......"

"Impossible!"

Vega drew a circle in his current location with a red marker, then pointed to the nearest city and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's this city of Rankor that the Kingdom Army wants to attack. ”

"Doesn't that mean that we are bound to run into the troops of the Kingdom Army?" said Faulk's face was filled with despair.

Although the caravan's route did not need to pass through the city of Lankol, it had to continue on the road to the east after 20 km, while the kingdom army wanted to attack Lankocheng, so it was necessary to march on the road to the north after 10 km.

The marching speed of the Kingdom Army is naturally not comparable to that of caravans.

In other words, the middle 10 kilometers will inevitably be caught up by the Kingdom Army.

Continue to hide and let the Kingdom Army take the lead?

This is simply unrealistic, the war airship itself is equivalent to a radar, and any movement on the ground can be detected by the wind mages and spirit mages on the airship, not to mention the enemy scouts......

Other words.

Escaping is a dead end, and continuing to hide is also a dead end.

That's only a battle!

Vega turned his head to everyone and said, "You all heard it, I think the situation is very clear now, it is unrealistic to escape and sit idly by, we can't be faster than the kingdom's war airship, so please have the determination to die and fight to the death." ”

"How, how so. ”

"Is it okay not to die?"

"Is there really no escape?"

The entire caravan was about a hundred people, and their faces were full of sadness.

And Fakker also stood up immediately under Vega's secret signal and said: "Cheer me up, escape or die, fight or die, I don't need to say more about how to choose." Declare in advance, if anyone escapes alone, don't blame me for letting him go first. ”

The people of the caravan barely brace themselves.

Anyway, both ends are dead, and it is better to die in the middle of the battle than to die in the hands of the butler Falk.

That being said, this group of people did not have the slightest morale, because they were not soldiers after all, and they did not have the slightest sense of death, and they were thankful that they did not scatter and flee.

Through a performance of his true colors, Vega finally made everyone mention the heart of battle.

And he also took advantage of this time to secretly say to Fawke: "Butler Fokker, I don't know if the previous transaction is still counting, right?"

Faulk's eyes lit up, and he replied almost immediately: "Of course it counts." ”

Although Vega didn't think that he would be able to escape under the kingdom's war airship with Habitat, but with Fokker as an elemental mage and a hundred or so people to attract firepower, maybe there was a 0.1% chance?

As long as there is a 0.1% chance of survival, you can give it a go.

After all, it's better to bet on the 0.1% chance than to sit back and wait.

Vega picked up the binoculars again and observed the Kingdom Army.

It's not enough to make the caravan willing to die, now it is also necessary to develop a battle plan to delay time, even if you sell your teammates, you have to "package" your teammates well and sell them for a high price.

But that's just the time.

Vega looked through the binoculars and saw a man he knew all too well walking out of the airship hatch with his troops.

Although his name is not known, Vega is certain that this person is the combat commander who successfully broke out of the encirclement under the protection of the kingdom's mage squadron in Kareni's final battle.

At this moment, Vega was on his mind.
