As Vega guessed.

Now the war between the Kingdom of Kareni City and the Empire has entered the white heat.

The kingdom side sent large forces to advance the front almost every day, but the empire side did everything possible to delay the kingdom's advance and at the same time sent guerrilla troops to harass at night.

Such a war lasted half a month.

Half a month later, both the empire and the kingdom armies reached a critical point.

The kingdom finally couldn't hold on to this white-and-black harassment battle, and the enemy's extreme familiarity with the terrain made it difficult for them to advance the battle line, and now even if they were heaped with the number of people, they might not be able to pile up.

Although the imperial side occupies a favorable position, but it is beaten to the doorstep, the pressure it bears is definitely not lower than that of the kingdom army, and now there is a negative and pessimistic mood in the army, which seriously affects the continuous high-intensity battles.

But what can be seen now is -

The scales of victory gradually tipped in favor of the Empire.

To a certain extent, urban warfare is quite dependent on the home factor, coupled with the fact that the Kareni people are biased towards the empire, which means that the three major factors of war are the right time and place, and the empire occupies the most important geographical and human advantage.

Therefore, the war has been stalemate until now, and it is already possible to distinguish the winner and loser.

The Imperial Army has no way to retreat, there is a Kingdom Army in front, and the retreat in the rear has been cut off by Vega.

Now there is only one choice left for the Imperial Army, and that is to fight on the back, so if this war is to be marked as an end, then it will be up to the Kingdom to make a compromise.

Will the kingdom compromise?

King Nordrian, dragging his tired face, asked at the meeting: "May I ask you, what is going to happen next in this war?" ”

Even his voice was thick with tiredness.

Nordrian has been cornered by the Imperial Army for half a month.

In his concept, isn't breaking through the four gates of the city equivalent to taking the city directly?

Why is it that in this case, the empire can actually fight such an excellent counterattack war, people who don't know still think that the kingdom army exists as a disadvantage, and the imperial army is the one who occupies the initiative in the war.

Of course.

That's not to say that the kingdom hasn't learned the lessons of the last defeat at Kareni City.

They attributed the last time Kareni to Vega himself, and it was Vega, a once-in-a-lifetime commanding genius, who revitalized the whole game, but he really didn't expect that at this time of crisis, an unknown commander in the Imperial Army, Clement Oliver, suddenly stood up and pinned them down here again.

"After all, it's still a foot high, and the magic is a foot high. ”

Admiral Tenniel's gaze was as bleak as the king's, and in military command, he had to admit that his talents were not as good as those of Vega, nor were they as good as that old fellow of Foster.

The last time the battle of Dragon City was overturned, I won't mention it.

In this battle of Kareni, the kingdom did its best, but just like the last war when Foster used Vega to recover Kareni, now the tragedy is repeated, and all plans have been cracked by a dark chess piece planted by Foster.

This god has a hand that directly allows the second kingdom to enter Kareni and cannot be obtained.

Kareni, is it really the city that never falls?

Therefore, when no one dared to speak, Tenniel stood up and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the lower officials think that there is no hope of victory in this war, and it is better to withdraw the army than to spend it in the city." ”

"Retreat while occupying four ring cities?"

A staff officer of the think tank raised a sharp voice: "May I ask General Tennier, do you really admit this kind of thing? I finally stepped into the land of Kaleni, and now I have to return in vain." ”

"What if you don't admit it?"

Tanir sighed and said: "Continuing the stalemate will only allow us to sacrifice more soldiers, and while the main force is now there, and there are only 80,000 soldiers lost before and after, it is the right way to stop losses in time and reformulate the plan." ”

"I agree with General Tennier. ”

After a short period of thought, an old general put forward his opinion: "According to the latest battle report, the Holy Dynasty Vega has taken advantage of our entanglement with the Imperial Army, and has taken almost all the sub-strategic cities in the northern hinterland, and connected these cities together to create a defense system that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now, even if we take the strategic point of Kareni, we will not be able to advance the front. ”

"I've heard about it, too. ”

The chief of staff of the think tank said: "Judging from the current situation, the city of Kareni is indeed like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. ”

The room fell silent.

Everything is as the chief of staff said, the war has been fought so far, and with the loss of the central hinterland, even if they take Kareni City, they can't do much, at most limit the development of Vega.

But it would not be the same if the city of Kareni fell into the hands of Vega.

Kareni is the closest strategic city to the Holy Dynasty, and once Vega obtains the city of Kareni, it can be fully integrated with the domestic defense system, indirectly incorporating the northern part of the empire into the dynasty's territory.

With the north in hand, will the city of Ropps be far away?

When the city of Ropps is lost, it means that the northern part of the empire has belonged to the dynasty, and the benefits obtained by Vega can be said to be astronomical.

But to give up Kareni, the kingdom was not reconciled in any case.

They paid 80,000 troops for an aviation regiment to become the owner of Kareni, and now they are giving Kareni to others for free?

No kidding, they're not charitable.

This is the current contradiction in the kingdom.

If you don't withdraw your troops, it will only cause greater losses and you won't be able to take Kaleni.

Withdraw your troops, and you are not willing to accept everything you have paid before.

It has to be mentioned here that the kingdom did not guess Foster's intention to flank Vega back and forth and annihilate Vega in the central hinterland, and in their subconscious concept, the empire was completely shrinking the front, and it was impossible to take the initiative to counterattack.

Otherwise.

The kingdom will withdraw its troops directly now, let the empire flank Vega in front and rear, and wait until Vega has lost half of its troops, and then fulfill the obligations of the allies and rescue the remaining troops of Vega from the central hinterland.

It is precisely because of this lack of awareness that the United Kingdom is in a dilemma.

This is the same as a gambler who loses a lot and knows that he will lose if he continues to gamble, but he can't control his desire to get back his money.

But when the kingdom was in a hurry, the security guard suddenly entered the conference room and reported to the king that there was an uninvited guest outside the door.

This uninvited guest was undoubtedly Vega.

And the moment they heard the guard's report, whether it was King Nordrian or the other officers, they instantly stretched their brows, because they understood very well-

Here comes the pick-up.
