General Headquarters of the Dynasty Army.

Vega and the generals gathered in front of the sand table.

This, of course, included several division commanders such as Imperial Garru, as well as kings and high-ranking generals on the side of the dynasty.

According to the latest battle report.

Two days ago, the kingdom's aviation force suddenly increased by more than three times, and the dynasty army encountered an unprecedented air attack without any mental preparation, and it was directly destroyed overnight.

Saya City, which was supposed to be a key defense, has instead become a cemetery for bones.

Under the carpet attack of the kingdom's air forces, all the defense lines were broken at the touch of a button, and even the retreat after the defeat could not be done, let alone call for help. Because there are so many enemy war airships that it makes people's scalps tingle.

Why are there so many war airships in the kingdom?

Vega was also puzzled by this.

Because of the limited national strength of a country, the fact that war airships are extremely expensive strategic weapons, and the manufacturing process is quite complicated, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the kingdom to have such a number of war airships.

But the facts are in front of you.

The kingdom used unknown means to conjure up 4 war airships the size of the standard air army.

And what about the Holy Dynasty side?

Among the blocking troops on the front line, they only have half an aviation corps at full strength, and half of the aviation corps probably can't even support it for ten minutes.

Now the situation has reached the extreme.

At the speed of the kingdom's army, they will reach Tali City by the morning after tomorrow at the latest, and their retreat will take at least 4-6 days, and how can they delay the enemy's footsteps in the middle of three or four days?

Vega didn't know.

The generals of the dynasty also did not know.

Because among the troops that have not yet retreated, even if the air force is fully assembled, only 1.5 can be gathered.

This kind of quantity is no different from giving away for nothing against the Shang Kingdom Army.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision. ”

An old general gritted his teeth, and finally stepped forward and said: "When the break continues to be chaotic, now is not the time to hesitate, we can only retreat to the west to have a chance to make a comeback, if it is damaged here, the dynasty will be finished." ”

The old king did not reply.

The war has come to such a point that there is no longer any way to do it.

Even if this order seems quite cruel, and it will even be infamous in the future, as the king of a country, he must give this extremely cruel order, which is his responsibility while enjoying his rights.

"Command!"

The deep voice of King Saint Laurent XVIII echoed throughout the conference room: "All the royal legions, the heavy divisions and elite divisions of the various armies, as well as all the magicians and professionals, are given priority to board the boat and cross the river. ”

"Command ......"

After a few seconds of delay, the old king gave the second order: "The 11th Aviation Corps of the Ordinary Standard Division will stay in the city of Tully to block the enemy's troops, cover the retreat of the large forces, and after 3 days, allow the retreat on its own." ”

With two orders issued.

This means that only half of the "elite soldiers" will be able to board the "Noah's Ark" to the other side, while the remaining ordinary soldiers, nay, cannon fodder soldiers, must die here.

The strong live, and the weak die.

Vega only sighed on his face, even ordinary soldiers had to be left here, let alone those civilians in the war?

I'm afraid that in two days, the city of Tully will be reduced to hell.

After giving these two orders, the king turned his gaze to Garru and other imperial generals: "Commander Mali, Commander Garru, when the time comes, your army will retreat with our royal legions." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Garru and Mari looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

They were also afraid that the Holy Dynasty would abandon them morally.

But now it seems that the Holy Dynasty knows that if it wants to make a comeback, it must rely on the Empire, so it does not dare to offend the Empire at this time, and must let the retreat sequence of the Imperial Army line up with them.

This concludes the meeting.

All the generals, whether it was the dynasty or the empire, hurriedly walked out of the conference room and began to silently organize their troops, preparing to withdraw to the west overnight.

Vega was the last person to walk out of the chamber besides the king.

His troops have gone through several major battles, and now there are less than 6,000 people left, and there is nothing to organize for a long time, and when the time comes, an order will definitely be more mobile than any division, so only he is the most idle here.

So as he walked out the door, Vega overheard the conversation between the princess and the king.

"Grandpa, do we have a chance to come back?"

"There will be such a day for Thea. ”

There was sentimentality in the king's eyes: "But I probably can't see that day anymore, you must grow up quickly and lead our soldiers to victory, you will be the greatest hope for the restoration of the Holy Dynasty for thousands of years." ”

"Grandpa, I'll try. ”

Thea's eyes showed determination, and Vega left the room without moving.

Although my heart is full of countless doubts, I still don't inquire much about people's internal affairs, and sometimes it is not a good thing to know more, and the most important thing now is to follow the large army back to the empire.

Early the next morning.

Vega saw that the whole city of Tully was busy.

Most of the standard troops marched to the Grand Canyon of Tully to build the first line of defense, while the other part remained in the city of Tully to build the second line of defense, and the remaining elite troops advanced towards the harbor a few dozen kilometers west of the city of Tully.

Of course, in order to stabilize the morale of the military.

Naturally, it was impossible to blatantly say anything about abandoning ordinary troops and preserving elite troops, and the army of the dynasty secretly controlled public opinion, and elite troops began to be transported to the west by boat.

The Royal Legion and the Imperial Army were scheduled for the next day.

In short, the last elite troops to leave the east.

This is, of course, to stabilize the morale of the army, and if the other armies know that the Royal Legion and the Royal Family have left the east, then the troops in the first line of defense and defending the city of Tully will inevitably be demoralized, and even riot.

Wait for all the elite troops to be relocated.

Then the Royal Legion can also board the "Noah's Ark" openly, and the life or death of the rest of the troops is no longer their business, and the troops of the United Kingdom do not dare to cross the Donbu River for the time being to stretch the battle line too long.

That's when it happened.

The blockade of the Tully Grand Canyon has officially begun.

Since the air force was unable to carry out magical bombardment of the interior of the Grand Canyon, this kingdom's war against the dynasty was extremely cruel, almost every inch of land was stained red with blood, and the lives of the kingdom's soldiers were forced to advance to the front of ten meters and one hundred meters.

After a day and a night, the first line of defense fell.

The Dynasty Army had only a small number of mages and pros in the Battle of the Gorge, while the Kingdom Army had several elite legions, so they could rely on the army to break through the defenses even without the support of the air force.

Due to the asymmetry of high-level force between the two sides.

Mass casualties have led to deserters, and new problems have arisen.

The speed of the Royal Army's attack was too fast, and judging from the current situation, the second line of defense might not be able to defend the opponent for half a day, but the Royal Legion and the Imperial Army had just begun to prepare to cross the river.
