Stand still.

This is the strategy adopted by Vega.

In his opinion, tearing up the alliance at this time and taking the opportunity to launch an attack can easily take the city of Donbu, but for the army on the west bank, a loss of the city of Donbu will inevitably weaken the morale of the army.

When the time comes, it will collapse without even having to continue the attack of the Empire.

Therefore, Vega chose to stand still and let the West Bank army weaken the power of the Imperial Army as much as possible, and when he entered the Great City of Donbu, there would be a battle between the capital and the Imperial Army with heavy losses.

Otherwise, against the full formation of the empire's 4 armies and 1 air defense army, even Vega would not have the confidence to expel it from the territory of the dynasty, after all, it was a full 500,000 backbone troops, not a rabble like him.

This order was not understood by the officers.

Many people in the meeting raised questions, but Vega refused to answer them all, and resolutely did not allow a formal attack on the midstream.

"Your Excellency, we can understand the previous losses. ”

The division commander became very anxious: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, although we lost a full 15,000 elite soldiers because of the last accident, but this time is different. I dare to guarantee with Xiang Shang's head that this attack will definitely be able to take the city of Donbu easily, and if it continues like this, it will be too late for the rebels in the west bank to slow down. ”

Everyone only thought that Vega was scared by the royal army, so they were so cautious.

But Vega shook his head resolutely: "Now is not the best time to attack, let's dismiss." ”

This concludes the meeting.

Although Vega did not give a reasonable explanation, due to Vega's prestige, most of the officers, except for a few officers, had no objection to Vega's orders, and they always believed that as long as Vega was there, the war would be won.

"Brigadier Mott Anger, do you have any opinions?"

After walking out of the conference room, the division commander looked at the brigade commander of the Air Defense Force, Mott, and he sighed and said: "I don't really understand why the commander suddenly became timid, even I, a third-rate officer, can see that this is a godsend. ”

"Opinion?

As if he had seen a ghost, Mott fled from the division commander as soon as possible.

The whole thing, Mott, a direct participant, vaguely guessed that the 15,000 people were deliberately "gifted" to the West Bank rebels by Vega, otherwise it would not be possible to explain why the 50 war airships were suddenly damaged.

To know.

War airships are the most important strategic weapons, and they have always been garrisoned by the most elite high-level armed forces units of the whole army, and it is impossible for the enemy to blend into the group army guarding the forest, so it can be directly proved that the people inside are guarding and stealing themselves.

Who is the most suspicious of this?

It goes without saying that only Vega can mobilize that force here, and only Vega can do it.

Other words.

As the commander-in-chief, Vega secretly sold his descendants and personally killed 15,000 people.

Although he guessed something about this, he definitely didn't dare to say it.

First, he has no evidence, and no one will believe him when he says it, because Vega's prestige is high in the army, and he has the highest execution. At the same time, as a direct participant, he is even suspected of shirking responsibility when he says such things.

Second, even if there was evidence, he still didn't dare to say it.

Mott didn't think that a demon who could bury 15,000 lives without revealing the slightest guilt...... No, it was the inhuman Demon King who would not dare to kill him as a small aviation brigade commander and his relatives.

For the sake of his life.

Mott was already planning to rot this matter in his stomach, and even if he put a knife to his neck, he didn't dare to say it.

Vega, who was watching Mott from afar, turned to leave.

Seeing Mott's performance, Vega realizes that he is a smart man, so he doesn't have to send him to hell as well.

Of course, this is only a secondary reason.

The real reason is that in the absence of the most accurate, no, even if there is evidence, it is difficult for Mott to prove that this matter was indeed done by Vega, because this territory is a hall of Viga's words.

The other side.

The Imperial Army had crossed the dividing line between the upper and middle reaches and officially launched a war towards the middle reaches.

The war was a one-sided affair at the outset, with the army led by Ferre Gary following the orders of Caia Saint Laurent to retreat with only a slight resistance and flee in the direction of the great city of Donbu.

This is not to say that Ferrette has the talent to be an actor.

Because the enemy has 4 group armies and 1 air defense army, in this case, he doesn't have to deliberately perform at all, and his own lack of strength leads to him having to retreat, which is completely his true colors.

Aino's Forest.

This is the location of Kaeya's ambush of the Imperial Army.

Due to the ancient trees in the forest, it was difficult for the aviation reconnaissance unit to see the specific situation on the ground from the sky, so it was impossible for the Imperial Army to know how many soldiers were hiding in this forest.

According to the original plan.

Ferre Gary will retreat towards this place, luring the Imperial army deep into the forest, and the 300,000 main forces on the west bank will take the opportunity to launch an attack at this time.

Things are going well.

Ferre Gary had already retreated into the Forest of Aino with his entire army, and at the current speed of the Imperial army, it would only take a day to catch up.

But the empire is not a fool either.

They did not rush into the Aino-Forest, but set up camp in the city closest to the Aino-no-Forest and started a discussion.

"I want to ask you, this Aino Forest, to enter or not to enter?"

Eskar said with a full sense of anger: "According to the information from the aviation reconnaissance team, the enemy's only main force of defense in the middle and upper reaches has entered the forest of Aino and has not yet left this forest. Due to the terrain, the reconnaissance unit has lost their tracks. So to tell you a joke, I can't rule out that they are waiting for us in the forest. ”

"Hahaha-"

The room erupted in laughter.

A group version of the defeated generals in a vain attempt to ambush their 4 group armies is indeed a real joke.

"Your Excellency, the Commander is willing to be the vanguard of the Lower Officials' Headquarters. ”

A division commander stood up with confidence on his face.

Even though they had seen that the west bank of the dynasty was ambushing them in the Forest of Aino, they were still ready to advance directly, because in their subconscious, the main force of the enemy army was still fighting downstream with Vega, and this army was probably a temporary rabble.

In the face of absolute power, everything is in vain.

Therefore, even if the Imperial Army had more than a dozen ways to bypass the Forest of Aino and attack the Great City of Donbu, they were not willing to waste this time, and their self-confidence that had swelled to the point of almost exploding made them know that there were tigers in the mountains and favored the tigers.
