Boom Boom Boom –

The explosion of magic kicked up clouds of dust.

In the hilly area on the periphery of the Moonrest Mountains, the commander of the 1st Division, Hume, was lying on the ground shivering, he didn't dare to move a step, he could only watch the soldiers around him die one by one.

The enemy's attack was too fierce.

Of course, this ferocity did not come from the ground, but fell from the war airship in the air, and they did not even have the strength to fight back.

"Commander, what should we do now?"

The adjutant crawled to the side of the division commander and said with a panicked expression on his face: "Our army's air cover force has still not arrived, may I ask if the general has ordered the withdrawal of the army, if we continue like this, we will risk the annihilation of the whole army." ”

The commander of the 1 division had a hesitant expression on his face.

Withdrawing troops without Vega's order is generally not allowed, and at this time, the commander of the 1st Division cannot judge whether Vega is deliberately letting them attract a little attention, if they retreat without permission at this time, of course, there is no problem in escaping back, but they will be punished by Vega.

To stay or to return?

Hume was caught in a dilemma.

At this time, he took out his pocket watch and found that the appointed time had passed, but there was still no trace of his own aviation unit in the sky, which made him completely puzzled.

"Is it Mott's communiqué vendetta?"

At this time, the commander of the 1st Division, Hume, couldn't help but be suspicious, but quickly vetoed: "No, he definitely doesn't have the courage to disobey the commander's order......"

"In other words!"

1st Division Commander Hume had a flash of inspiration, and seemed to have caught something: "In other words, except for the commander-in-chief, there is no one who can command Mott, does that mean ......?"

Boom –

Just as he was about to catch this flash of spiritual light, a fireburst fell beside him, causing his thoughts to fly out of the clouds.

"Retreat, retreat immediately. ”

Ignoring Vega's orders, the commander of the 1st Division finally chose to order a retreat, the feeling of life and death just now made him no longer care about Vega's orders, and now he just wants to save his life and return to the Holy City of Ganti to find out what happened.

The signal to retreat rose into the air.

When the soldiers saw the signal, they rushed to the rear.

This is a full fifteen thousand soldiers, and in the case of a swarm retreat, even if the enemy army now dispatches a whole aviation regiment, it will be difficult to annihilate them all, and it would be good to be able to leave half of the corpses.

So an hour later.

Under the leadership of 1st Division Commander Hume, the remaining less than 8,000 men retreated to the entrance to a canyon.

As long as you enter here, you're safe.

In general warfare, ancient forests and canyons are common ways to get rid of enemy aviation units, the former also has the risk of being burned to death by forest fires, and the latter can be said to be foolproof, after all, it is difficult for high-altitude airships to bombard the soldiers inside the canyon with magic.

But this is clearly not an ordinary war.

As Hume entered the canyon with his soldiers, there was a rumbling sound.

I saw the boulders on both sides of the canyon rolling down, and the oil was flying wildly, and at this moment, they could not find the north, and the situation was even worse than being bombed by the aviation regiment just now.

Also on the occasion of Hume's circle.

One after the other, the two corps had blocked the exit and entrance to the gorge, encircling the entire division of the 1st Division in the canyon, and the sides and entrances and exits of the canyon were prepared with perfect fortifications, and they could hardly escape.

"It was a premeditated ambush. ”

The commander of the 1st Division, Hume, had been completely sure of this, because these extremely well-developed fortifications and the ambushes hidden here did not seem at all improvised, but as if they knew all their plans, and they were fully prepared.

"Damn!!Someone must have leaked our plans. ”

1st Division Commander Hume burst out of his angry roar from between his teeth: "Don't let me go back alive, otherwise you will definitely be found out, and you dare to do something that collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country." ”

In Hume's opinion.

There is simply no other reason than this.

You know, on the way they didn't find any enemy ground reconnaissance units or aviation reconnaissance units, but it was precisely at this place where they were least vulnerable to ambushes that the dynasty army suddenly attacked from the sky and land as if they had foreseen the future.

This only means that they have been sold.

So who will sell them?

Hume recalled the officers of the dynasty, and finally understood that the key node of this war was Mott's aviation corps, and at this time, he found the little inspiration that he had lost before-

No one dared to disobey the orders of the commander.

"If you take this sentence from a different perspective......

Hume thought of a fact that he couldn't even believe: "Could it be that the Commander himself sold us?" ”

"No!

Hume's faith collapsed at this moment: "I want to go back, I must go back and meet the commander in person, I want to investigate the truth of this matter, the soldiers of the empire cannot die in vain." ”

"Break out!

Hume roared hysterically, but momentum alone obviously couldn't change the tide of battle.

Standing on a high place, Kaeya Saint Laurent looked at the battle situation below, and slowly spoke: "Entrusted with the matter of loyalty, I ordered the elite group of senior mages to participate in the battle, and I am not allowed to let go of an imperial soldier tonight." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

With the addition of an elite group of high-level mages, the war has turned into a carnage.

In the end, as Kaeya had ordered, none of the Imperial troops trapped in the canyon survived, and the entire canyon became a purgatory on earth, and the smell of blood scared away all the beasts, except for a few crows in a hurry.

"Hahaha!"

Facing this Shura field, Kaeya Saint Laurent laughed heartily: "I've always wanted to experience a front-line war, but I didn't expect this front-line war to be more exciting and interesting than I imagined, and I will definitely enjoy it in the next limited time." ”

"Your Majesty, please don't do such a dangerous thing again. ”

The trust captain quickly suggested: "As the leader of the whole army, although your presence on the front line will help improve morale, if you make a slight mistake, I am afraid it will cause a devastating blow to the whole army."

"You want to interfere with me too?"

Kaeya Saint Laurent's cold voice echoed: "All this is forgiven to you, after you go back, you had better go and find out how the previous captain of the guard died, and then reorganize the language for the future." ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins. When the captain of the guard heard this, he hurriedly didn't dare to say more,

It was also when the curtain came down on this war.

The two shadow mages hidden in the darkness of the canyon glanced at each other, gave a retreat code unique to the Imperial Reconnaissance Department, and then disappeared together.
