Chapter 555: Stalemate

Spring goes and autumn comes.

Another two months passed, and the time gradually entered autumn.

Although two months have passed, the Allied countries have not made any progress on all fronts, which also makes the Allied countries anxious, because winter is about to enter in a few months.

Winter is the least suitable season for marching and fighting.

Once winter begins, it means that the empire has a chance to breathe, and even if it takes a long time to prepare, it will be time to finish the preparations.

The next spring is coming.

I am afraid that the tide of war will be completely rewritten, and the Allies will suffer the wrath of the Empire.

Of course, none of the countries knew about this news, and Vega only came to this conclusion by speculating that the Empire was preparing a big move, so I am afraid that only the Freedom Alliance and Vega have a sense of urgency now.

Of course.

The reason why the Freedom Alliance is anxious is because of the battle situation in the west of the Jialan Mountains, not because it is not afraid that the empire has any hole cards, because even if the empire really has any hole cards, when the time comes, people will pat their butts and return to the west, and in the east, Vega and others can only count one as one, and the monks who escape can't escape the temple.

Although Vega was also quite anxious.

Regrettably, so far Vega has not had the slightest solution.

Of course, he did not sit idly by, and in the intervening two months he ordered the army to build bridges and roads, but the progress was very slow, because Forster could not have watched Vega build there without obstructing it.

Since the air force was not as numerous as Foster, and the enemy's air force seemed to have received a death order to destroy Vega's newly built communication route even if it was to double the casualties, Vega could only sigh.

"Can you really just go back to China in disgrace?"

The dejected Vega was even ready to return home after searching the north, but withdrawing from the Holy Dynasty would mean that he had abandoned the north and 300,000 soldiers, and at the same time lost the trust of his subjects in the north of the empire.

Besides, this time Vega is here in a battle of revenge.

Even if he wants to retreat, it must be the other country that makes the mistake first, and then dumps all the black pots on that country, so that he dares to return to the country, otherwise what will he explain to the people of the dynasty.

Ultimately.

Vega really never imagined that Lops City would become such a tough nut to crack.

Even if the turtle shell of Ropps City is so hard, Vega firmly believes that there must be some way to break through Rops City, because there is no such thing as a city in this world that will never fall, and the last one who claimed to be Lapses has been ravaged twice, and if you count Vega's succession, there are about three times.

It's man-made.

Vega thinks that the reason why there is no way to take the city of Lops is because of his own lack of ability, as long as he calms down and thinks of a way, he will definitely be able to do it, and time is enough to make up for the lack of ability.

Vega only saw that diligence could make up for it.

But he didn't see another sentence called 'Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way'.

As autumn approached, Vega's worst fearful piece of information came-

The hole card of the Imperial Army is actually 4 million Army!

Vega was shocked by this information for a long time, because he really never thought that the empire actually had such a huge reserve of troops and logistics, and the resources required to pull four million troops were astronomical.

Resources aside.

The general standing army needs to be equipped with the establishment of professionals and magicians, and where will these four million army recruit so many mages and professionals to form a four-million army?

The foundation of the empire is really terrifying to this extent.

Vega read the information twice, and it also mentioned that there were less than three months left before the four million troops were fully restored, which meant that either three months later in winter or when early spring arrived, the empire would launch a counterattack.

"Time is running out. ”

Just looking at this information, cold sweat slipped down Vega's forehead.

He had realized that he had to take the city of Lops before the winter came, and when the time came, with the city of Lops and Kareni as the horns, he would have 50% certainty that he would be under the iron heel of the empire and defend against the first wave of the empire's attack.

Calmed down a bit.

Vega directly destroyed this piece of information with his backhand, this information was sent by Holt Scimitar from the imperial capital, and other countries did not get this news for the time being, so I have to mention that this time the empire's intelligence work is too perfect.

Based on this, Vega chose not to disclose information to the allies.

Because now once the information is made public, it is very likely that the Freedom Alliance will withdraw its troops immediately, and they have not dealt with the more than seven million land forces in the empire, after all, no one wants to fight a war that is uncertain, and now they have the initiative and want to leave, if they wait for the empire to launch a counterattack and then retreat, they will not be able to leave.

Dead friends do not die poor.

Vega is ready to sell his teammates and start preparing for both.

One hand continues to find a way to take the city of Lopus, and the other hand is to give up everything in the north and be ready to withdraw at any time when the time comes, so as not to be dragged down by the imperial army and unable to leave.

Vega thought as he watched as the intelligence burned to ashes in the firelight.

When the intelligence was about to burn into ashes, Vega suddenly aimed at the final 'Holt Scimitar' of the intelligence, and at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his brain, and he vaguely caught something.

"Old Machete...... Imperial Capital ...... Lops ......"

Vega muttered to himself, his eyes lit up, and then a gaze comparable to that of a star.

"It's Holt Machete!"

The so-called blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and the blessings and misfortunes depend on them, Vega slapped his forehead, and regretted very much how he forgot how he forgot the Holt Scimitar who was still lurking in the imperial capital and fighting wits and courage with the inquisition system.

When he thought of the old scimitar, the plan to attack the city of Rops came to Vega's mind.

Let's make a hypothesis.

Suppose there are no unbreakable cities in this world.

The first thing to do is to use common sense to solve this problem, and this 'common sense' is to use conventional warfare to attack the city from the outside, which has now proven unusable.

In that case, it is better to change the direction.

For example—

From the inside out.

The safest fortress is also the easiest to be breached from within.

The city of Lops was indeed cut off from all ties to the north, but as a national transportation hub, the city was still one of the largest transit cities for civil airships, and it also maintained contact with various cities within the empire.

One of the most closely connected is the capital of the empire -

The Immortal City.
