Chapter 837: The Choice of Life
Two days later.
Heavy fog enveloped the coastal city of Gill and the nearby unnamed islands.
Sea fog is commonplace for the people of the city, especially at the turn of spring and summer, and sometimes it can linger for two weeks without dissipating.
Although it is not so severe in autumn and winter, there is still occasional heavy fog.
For the fishermen here, even without the need for a psychic mage, they can predict the weather in a constant way, so no one would ever set up a boat to go out to sea today.
Equally.
The Third Navy, which has been stationed here all year round, also knows a lot about this sea area and the weather, so today they simply gave up the patrol mission of the sea area, anyway, in this kind of place where birds don't, let alone the enemy, even half of the outsiders can't find it.
"Captain, is this really good?"
A young soldier who had just enlisted in the army said with some concern: "The book says that this kind of weather is the best time for the enemy to launch a sneak attack from the sea, so shouldn't we be on guard today? Why do you rest early?" ”
"Boy Kaga, then I'll test you. ”
The captain was not angry, and said with a smile: "It is true that it is said in the book, but in the history of our country, is there a precedent of being attacked by the enemy on a coastal city?"
"This ...... No. ”
The recruit seemed a little unconvinced, but he really couldn't find a precedent.
"Alright, boy Kaga, go back and rest, this is the navy. ”
"Do you know what a navy is?"
The captain took out a cigarette, took a puff and said: "The so-called navy of the empire is just a retirement home for soldiers, and the people assigned here are either not of good quality or have offended their superiors, and the military expenses given to us by the empire are even less pitiful. You have to make it clear that the so-called military glory belongs to the army and the air force, and has nothing to do with our navy. ”
"How can this be ......"
The young officer was somewhat incredulous.
At the time of the country's crisis, he wanted to serve the motherland with enthusiasm, but now he told him that the navy is such an existence?
The captain took a deep breath of his cigarette and said, "Boy Kaga, if I'm not mistaken, you offended people during the recruit training, right? ”
Kaja didn't answer, and his face turned iron-blue.
Because everything was right for the captain, when he was training as a recruit, because he was dissatisfied with the corruption and bribery of the commander, he reported the commander to the trial system, and later the commander was removed, and he was assigned to the navy after the recruit training.
"Well, don't overthink it. ”
The captain patted Kaga on the shoulder: "If you come here, you will be safe, and there is nothing bad about getting used to this city, although you can't get the battle merits all the way up, but there is no risk of the front-line army, right? ”
"Yes, Captain. ”
Kaga was ready to leave as if he had resigned himself, but the moment he turned around, it was as if he saw some kind of behemoth breaking through the fog and heading towards this medium-sized city of peace and quiet.
Hallucination?
No! Definitely not an illusion!
He said in horror: "Team, captain, what is that, what is there......"
"There's no way to go wrong. ”
The captain didn't seem to be affected in any way, and still took a cigarette and said: "That's the naval fleet, the enemy's naval fleet! I didn't expect that after many years, the enemy would choose to use the navy to attack us." ”
"Team, captain, I'm going to sound the alarm. ”
Kaga scrambled to sound the alarm, but the captain held him down on the shoulder.
"Alright, Boy Kaja, don't panic. ”
The captain took a puff of his cigarette at the end, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said, "Don't you resent the empire for throwing us into a place where such birds don't? Although I say that if we come to the house, we will be safe, but I already hate the empire to the fullest! Since I joined the navy, I have not had the courage to return to my family for ten years, because after I went back, I have suffered all the white eyes, and compared with the army, sure enough, our navy is a group of inferior creatures. ”
Kaja's face changed.
Like the captain, he also comes from a small military family.
When he returned home on Grace Day, when his relatives learned that he was in the navy, the indifference and contempt he still remembers vividly.
"What do you mean, Captain?"
Kaja's fists clenched and loosened, released and clenched, and his face turned blue and red.
"I've heard that the Jialan Empire cherishes talent very much. ”
The captain's eyes were full of calm, but Kaga saw the madness in it: "It just so happens that the other patrols have gone back early today to be lazy, and there are only two of us on duty, don't you think that the Jialan Navy needs two guides to land in Gil City?"
"Captain, you're betraying the Empire. ”
Kaja's face was full of panic, something he had never thought of in his more than twenty years of life.
"No! you're wrong Kaga boy. ”
The captain closed his eyes and recalled all the contempt of his relatives and friends, as well as the ugly face of the high-ranking officer of the Army who transferred him from the Army, and he grinned: "It's not us who betrayed the Empire, it's the Empire that betrayed us!"
"Yes...... The Empire has betrayed us?"
Kaga's loose fist finally clenched, and then said to the captain: "Captain, I listen to you, I've had enough of my current life, I want to show those people who is the shame of the family!"
"Hahaha!"
The captain laughed and said, "Go and raise the white flag to welcome the landing of the Jialan army." ”
"Yes, Captain. ”
According to the captain's order, Kaga raised the white flag and waited for the arrival of the Jialan army.
Under the guidance of two local officers.
The Jialans took the city of Gil with ease.
With no one to forewarn and two people to guide and warn them, Vega was able to encircle and attack at the same time, which prevented the city from sending a single soldier to break through to other cities to report the news.
As of now.
The other cities had no idea that the city of Gil had fallen.
Gil City is one of the port cities in the southwest of the Empire, and it is less than two days away from the Imperial Shield Sila City, and if the air force is sent to sneak attack, it will only take less than four hours, so it can be said that Vega has come behind the enemy's main force.
Once a sneak attack is launched.
Even if you can't take the city of Silla right away, you can still inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
At this time, Vega also sent a letter to Hausman, informing him that everything was ready, and that he should join the 400,000 troops in the east and form an army of 800,000 to launch a fierce attack on the city of Sylla.
On the front there were 800,000 to attract the Imperial Army.
At this time, there is a surprise army of more than 300,000 troops sneaking into the rear, attacking from both sides, and without counting the casualties, it is absolutely possible to take the city of Silla before other reinforcements from the empire arrive.
This time difference is difficult for the empire to react.
The letter was sent.
Vega deliberately took the time to personally entertain two native navies who were his guides.
Because fame is something that needs to be accumulated, as long as the reputation of Corporal Lixian continues to spread, then more and more talents will come to him, so Vega does not think that this is a waste of time, but rather an investment.
