Boom Boom Boom –

Flamebursts fell from the sky, and the blood had stained the entire Dunbu River.

The first to sink was the Royal Flagship, a huge ship full of high-ranking officers of the dynasty and several division commanders of the empire, who could not survive the arrival of reinforcements on the west coast, and sank to the bottom of the sea.

The kingdom's air force is simply too large.

The anti-aircraft war of the Dumbo River and Shanghai was a one-sided massacre, and the navy's anti-air firepower only destroyed more than a dozen war airships of the Royal Army, but all 13 ships were sunk.

That's right.

The naval battle, which lasted 2 hours, came to an end here.

A total of 130,000 people of the Kingdom Army and the Imperial Army failed to reach the West Bank safely, and all of them were destroyed under the magic bombardment of the Kingdom Army's war airships, which directly extinguished the last hope of the Dynasty Army's resurgence.

100,000 of the most elite royal legions were wiped out.

King Saint Laurent XVIII of the Holy Dynasty died tragically on the spot.

The future queen and prince of the dynasty, Princess Thea Saint Laurent is nowhere to be found.

This devastating blow of the Kingdom Army directly destroyed the entire Holy Dynasty.

"Heaven is going to kill me. ”

The surviving veteran general knelt on the west bank and wept bitterly, his eyes full of despair.

Behind him, there were other surviving generals who were also depressed, as well as division commanders such as Garru, who looked like a chicken in the soup, and they survived with the protection of magicians and professionals.

"I'm going to tell the Commander-in-Chief how to explain it. ”

The commander of the 1st Division, Mari, sighed and said: "I knew that the Kingdom Army had left such a hand, even if the fighters were killed, I would really fight with them, and now I have completely buried myself in the grave." ”

"Hey, I'm afraid this matter was premeditated by the Kingdom Army. ”

Garru, the commander of the 4th Division, agreed: "The Kingdom Air Force will not come sooner or later, but they will come when the Royal Legion crosses the river. ”

"I just came back alive, so let's go back to China as soon as possible. ”

Several division commanders glanced at each other and said goodbye to the generals of the dynasty.

After Garru and the others left, the old general stood up and said: "For today's plan, first ask the eldest prince to preside over the overall situation, and at the same time find the whereabouts of Princess Xiya. ”

Meanwhile.

In the forests on the east bank of the Great River Donbu.

Princess Thea looked a little haggard with sadness on her face.

Although she escaped from the air raids of the Kingdom Army, Saint Laurent XVIII, who loved her the most, died at the hands of the Kingdom Army, which made Thea grief to the extreme, and this kind of thing was far from what she could bear.

"Carol, what are we going to do next?"

Princess Thea, who regarded Carol as her backbone, asked in a confused tone.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess, I suggest that you leave here first before making plans. ”

Carol spread out a map and pointed to the Taliban Mountains: "If you continue to stay here, sooner or later, you will be discovered by the Kingdom Army, I suggest crossing the Taliban Mountains, going to the towns in the eastern hinterland to hide for a while, and then smuggling to the west bank after the wind has passed." ”

Knights are not generals and politicians after all.

Carroll may have great personal strength, but he doesn't have the command skills and big picture vision, so this is the only way he can think of it. He even took it for granted that as long as the princess could return to the West Bank, it would be the same at any time.

Is this really the case?

Not everyone is as loyal as Carroll.

If Princess Xiya does not appear in the field of vision of many high-ranking officials and royal families on the West Bank within half a month, then when other princes inherit the throne, they will only order to kill Xia secretly, and will not abdicate to make way for Xian.

At this time, let Vega make a plan.

Even if it is difficult, he will escort the princess to the west bank as soon as possible, but unfortunately there is only one well-limbed, simple-minded guardian knight Carol and a 15-year-old princess with a golden key in her mouth.

Therefore, Princess Thea agreed to Carol's suggestion without hesitation.

Together, they entered the Taliban mountains and prepared to take refuge for some time in some remote towns in the eastern hinterland.

————

Tully City.

Vega, who was just about to stop the battle, received a message.

The content of this message speaks for itself -

The battle report of the Royal Legion and the Imperial Army being wiped out by air raids.

When I saw this battle report, if it weren't for the different camps, Vega almost slapped his thigh and shouted the word "good", the kingdom army fought this battle too beautifully.

It is no exaggeration to say.

This trick directly cut off the opportunity for the Holy Dynasty to make a comeback within 10 years, and also completely stabilized the war situation in the east, and then the United Kingdom will have time to digest the vast territory and resources in the east of the dynasty.

"How can the Kingdom Army have such a commander?"

Vega couldn't help but admire the officers who commanded this war, this kind of war that does not drag mud and water, and has an extremely clear purpose, is not something that ordinary people can fight.

It is necessary to give up immediate interests, and at the same time to seek the near and far.

This kind of courage is not something that ordinary commanders can do, and if he were to take command of this war, he may order the total annihilation of the intercepting forces that are available to him in order to win the victory in a stable and meritorious manner, rather than to destroy the royal legions crossing the river.

Because no one knows whether the enemy still has aviation units.

If an air attack on the enemy army across the front is blocked by the enemy's air force, nothing will be accomplished at that time, not only will there be no credit, but it will also put itself on the label of incompetence, and this order is indeed a bit risky.

But it was precisely because of this risky order that the Holy Dynasty was successfully out.

This is the reason why Vega is full of praise for this operation of the Kingdom Army, although it is easy to say that it is easy to give up, but it is not necessarily so easy to actually do it.

Proud of the success of the air raid by the Kingdom Army.

At this time, Vega directly gave the soldiers an order to retreat, because there was no point in continuing to garrison, anyway, the royal legion and the imperial army were all wiped out, and speaking of which, the kingdom army also gave Viga a bad breath.

"General, where are we going to retreat?"

The adjutant stepped forward to ask, and from the analysis of the current situation, Vega pointed to the north gate without hesitation: "The enemy's aviation force is too large, we are retreating from the Taliban mountains, and the forest is a natural air attack barrier. ”

The Taliban Mountains are lined with mountains and giant trees.

In this kind of terrain, ordinary war airships cannot capture the coordinates of ground forces, and as far as retreat is concerned, there is only one path to choose, and if you choose other paths to retreat, you will only become a live target.

Vega can think of this, and of course the Kingdom Army can also think of it.

Thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river, and now the road to the Taliban mountains may have been heavily guarded, and Vigache has a real understanding of how desperate Ingrid was in the first place.
