Imperial Shield, the city of Sylla.

The operational commander of the city was Tils, who had returned from the east.

As one of the Empire's veteran generals, the recent wars have left him powerless.

Especially in the east, he was attacked by the Jialan Army and lost two important cities, including Elkia and Xelantu, which made him deeply feel that he had really grown old and become useless.

If you put it at a young age.

No matter how bad he is, he will not be so sluggish.

It's a pity that his youth is no longer there, and it coincides with the time when the empire is employing people, so he can only bite the bullet and go up.

Exclamation, of course, sighs.

For this battle, of course, Tilles believes that the empire will hold the central part and cooperate with the Western coalition to destroy the Jialan Kingdom in the coming year.

This self-confidence is fundamental.

If even this level of self-confidence is lost, then there is no longer a position to call oneself a commander.

Especially......

As Vega Saint Laurent's former teacher, he was even more reluctant to admit defeat in front of his students.

A true conductor will always maintain a heart for upward challenge.

Even though he is old, his mind, agility, and physical strength are ...... They can't keep up with the young officers, but only this determination to win, not to lose to anyone, even if the opponent is called the first general.

Other words......

He was looking forward to war, even a personal confrontation with Vega.

The horn of war rose as he had hoped, and with a loud explosion in the rear, a soldier rushed into Tills' office.

"Lord Commander, enemy attack!"

"Don't panic, from which direction are the enemies coming?"

Tilce showed the composure of a commander, and he knew very well that as a qualified commander, even if he was extremely flustered, at least on the surface, he could not be seen by the soldiers.

Tyrs's composure calmed the soldier down.

He hastened to reply: "The enemy, who has come from the direction of the city of Gil, has now broken through our rear and occupied the gates, and the main army will probably reach the city in half a day and launch a general attack on us. ”

"It's Vega Saint Laurent. ”

Tilles's face was full of envy: "Using the navy to touch the rear unknowingly, this strategy is not to mention now, even if it is me in my heyday, I am afraid it will be difficult to predict." ”

This is indeed the reason for the inertia of thinking.

The higher the level of the general, the more difficult it is to think of using the navy to go around in a large circle and land in the rear for a surprise attack. Especially a country like the Nuolan Empire, which claims to be invincible in the army, is even less likely to pay attention to things at sea.

Therefore, Vega's actions made Tilce admire from the bottom of his heart.

But let him admit defeat, he won't agree to this kind of thing.

He took a sip of coffee in a hurry, and then said to the soldiers: "First, guide civilians to evacuate, second, carry out Plan A, which has been customized in advance, and third, immediately ask for help from other cities." ”

"Yes, Commander. ”

Infected by Tyrs, the soldier's confidence is even stronger.

After the soldier left, Tills put down the cup and said, "Although I am indeed old, I did not expect you to launch this raid from the rear, but Vega, don't underestimate your teacher. ”

What appeared on Tilles' face was absolute confidence.

Because although he didn't expect Vega to break through the city defense from which direction, he expected Vega to be able to break through the first line of defense and rush into the city.

Other words.

Tills's self-confidence is not self-confidence, but Vega's self-confidence.

He firmly believed that Vega would be able to do what no one else could, and then on this premise, he directly gave up the battle for the city gate, and made a lot of preparations in the city, planning to drag the reinforcements in the city with street battles until the reinforcements arrived.

It's hard to believe when you say it.

As a commander defending the city, instead of doing a good job of arming the first line of defense, he chose to unconditionally believe that no matter how much he strengthened the first line of defense, the enemy would definitely break through it.

It's like admitting that you're not as good as the other person, but believing that you will win.

This contradiction between self-confidence and unconfidence was vividly displayed in Tills's body, and relying on this, he prepared in advance, which directly caused Vega to be greatly hindered.

It can indeed be described as huge.

As a pioneer army, Kaga is already feeling a lot of pressure.

After capturing the gates, he was able to defeat them with little effort due to the loose resistance of the enemy, and he was able to obtain a crucial breach of the city, even believing that the battle would be over by the arrival of the main army.

But with the arrival of the main forces, the advance of the front, he found himself wrong.

In the area of the center of the periphery of the city, the enemy relies on a huge army to block the Jialan army outside the defense line, and if you want to get a defense line, the Jialan army often needs to pay several times the price.

This can be seen from Kaja's own troops.

The reinforced regiment of more than 6,000 people has only less than 2,000 left until now, and the devil knows how many lines of defense they still need to break through, and at this rate, I am afraid that this war will not be solved at all in two days.

Do you want to return in vain?

Kaga was very unwilling, because the most difficult step had been taken, but he died on the last step, how could he admit this kind of thing, was his persistence just a joke?

"Charge!

Karga raised his spear and ordered his soldiers to charge the line of defense in front for the eleventh time.

But this time, it was not the strength of the enemy's defenses that made Kaja desperate, but the fact that his own soldiers had developed a sense of fear and began to dare not charge.

"What are you doing? Didn't you hear my orders?"

Kaga yelled angrily, but unfortunately all the soldiers lowered their heads: "Commander, we have launched eleven charges, and the brothers are tired, it is better to slow down first and let the brothers of the other troops go up first." ”

"Other troops, yes!

Kaga turned to look around, only to find that the other troops were also beginning to daunt.

As seen so.

These 300,000 soldiers are naval ground combat units, and their overall combat effectiveness is probably a little stronger than cannon fodder, a little weaker than the regular army, and as for the elite soldiers of the Imperial Army, it is estimated that they are several grades weaker.

That's why.

As soon as the slightest difficulty is encountered in the war, this kind of army will be afraid of the battle, and even break and flee.

It was precisely because Tills expected that there would be no elite divisions available in the Jialan Kingdom except for the 800,000 on the front, so he dared to guarantee that even if he encountered a sneak attack from Vega, he would be able to deal with it.

This trend continues.

This raid probably ended in anticlimactic nature because of the quality of the soldiers.

Seeing the situation clearly, Kaga let go of the spear in his hand as if he had been drained of strength, and fell into despair like the other soldiers, and despair is indeed contagious, and now the Jialan army has lost the kind of morale that it had started.
