That same evening.

Vega began work on the reorganization of the troops.

Because the 1st, 2nd, and 4th divisions each took out 18,000 soldiers to be incorporated into the independent heavy brigade "Victory", and now the total number of troops in Vega exceeds 24,000, which is about 2/3 of a standard corps.

But quantity is not proportional to quality.

These 18,000 people are all third-rate soldiers eliminated from the three divisions, and half of them are not professionals and magicians, and the real elite soldiers are all retained in the three divisions.

In this situation, what else can Vega say.

He can only comfort himself, even ordinary soldiers must have the strength to fight, after all, one more person has more strength, which means that he can support up to 24 hours.

Exactly 24 hours.

As long as he can hold out until 24 hours later, he can retreat directly.

Although it was impossible to cross the river to the west bank without a blocking force, it was possible to retreat in other directions. After all, it would be a day to live one more day, and maybe one day when the kingdom's defenses were lax, he would be able to cross the Donbu River safely.

"All the army, forward. ”

Vega left the port of Tully with his troops before dawn and rushed towards the city of Tully, a few dozen kilometers away.

They were accompanied by several divisions of the Imperial Legion of the Dynasty Army, all of them listless, apparently understanding their next fate, but unfortunately they were powerless to resist.

This is a close second.

Vega marched into the troops without hurry.

During these 24 hours, Vega still wanted to save his troops as much as possible, so he deliberately reduced the speed of his march to allow the Dynasty army to attack the vanguard. As for the specific route of the retreat, Vega has already begun to plan.

Unlike Vega.

The commander of the dynastic army did not seem to mind Vega's intention to paddle and fish, and he consciously ordered the advance of the troops to be accelerated, volunteering to be the vanguard of Vega's troops.

Because in the eyes of the commander of the dynastic army.

In the end, no one was able to escape.

Because the entire eastern part of the empire will be reduced to the territory of the kingdom army with the Great Donbu River as the boundary, where will they flee to when the time comes? Without reinforcements, no supplies, no resources, they have no choice but to die.

The only difference is that it is the difference between dying first and dying later.

This land, except for the army of the United Kingdom, is no longer suitable for the survival of the soldiers of any dynasty and empire.

Between thoughts, the outline of the city of Tully could already be seen.

The explosion of magic, the roar of the war airship echoed between the earth and the sky, the breath of war was getting closer and closer, and Vega began to raise his vigilance.

Buzz Buzz –

As we approached the city of Tully, a cacophony of voices came from the sky.

Vega couldn't be more familiar with this sound—

War airships.

Only a war airship would make such a noisy sound, so he raised his head.

"Get down, get down!"

Just one glance, a frightened voice came from Vega's mouth.

More than 300 black-pressed war airships flew from a distance, Vega gasped, if he blew up on the ground, I am afraid that his 24,000 troops would be less than 2/3.

Is the air force really so exaggerated?

It needs to be known that since the port is dozens of kilometers away from the center of Tully City, this commercial passage is naturally very flat and open, and in this case, it can definitely exert 200% of the magic bombing ability of the war airship.

"What exactly is the 11th Air Army of the dynasty doing?"

Vega had just finished speaking, when he saw an aviation unit of the Dynasty Army coming, and it was the Eleventh Aviation Army of the Dynasty that was responsible for the air interception mission.

Boom Boom Boom –

Air battles broke out.

Unfortunately, the Dynasty's air force was less than half that of the kingdom, so after an air battle, the dynasty army was defeated, and the kingdom's aviation troops once again formed a queue and headed towards Vega.

"It's over, it's completely over. ”

Vega didn't expect to die before he could get out of the division, and he hadn't even reached the city of Tali for a blocking battle, and he was ploughed by the kingdom's aviation troops on the way, so what else would he take to fight the blocking battle.

But something unexpected happened to Vega.

Just as Vega ordered all the troops to lie on the ground and wait for death, the war airship of the Kingdom Army roared directly above, but did not unleash half of the attack magic on them, but continued to drive forward.

Why is that?

I don't eat the fat to my mouth, or do I say that the commander of the Kingdom Army is confused.

With a twist of thought, Vega suddenly understood the intentions of the Kingdom Army.

This aviation unit is probably going for the Royal Legion that is about to cross the river, so it doesn't want to waste time on these cannon fodder troops, so it will directly ignore their existence.

"Hey, hey, hey. ”

Vega grinned with an extremely happy smile.

Although it is a bit despicable and distorted to say it, Vega now sincerely hopes that when the Kingdom Army attacks the Royal Legion, it will easily send a few firebursts to the Imperial Army that abandoned him.

————

Meanwhile.

Having boarded the ship and sailing a few dozen nautical miles out of the royal flagship, Saint Laurent XVIII and Princess Thea stood on the deck overlooking the western bank of the Donbu River.

Standing behind the two is.

The core high-ranking members of the Holy Dynasty, as well as the commanders of the Imperial Army, such as Garru and Mari, and the guardian knight Carol of Princess Thea.

It's almost there.

As long as the first half of the day passes, you can log in safely.

Saint Laurent XVIII touched Princess Thea's little head lovingly.

Although they have abandoned the royal capital of Saint Laurent, as long as they reach the west bank, when Xiya really grows up, they will have a chance to make a comeback, and then the Holy Dynasty will regain the supreme glory of dominating the Jialan Continent thousands of years ago.

Why are you so confident?

Because Princess Thea is the most special existence of the Holy Dynasty for thousands of years.

But just as everyone was reminiscing about the past and bidding farewell to the East Coast, a noisy buzz attracted everyone's attention.

"War airship, it's war airship. ”

A soldier shouted at the top of his voice, and the entire flagship began to panic.

"Calm me down. ”

The majestic voice of Saint Laurent XVIII echoed, and he gave the order: "Turn on the defense system of the Royal Flagship, charge the magic anti-aircraft cannon and prepare it, and at the same time send a call for help, so that the air force on the west bank can rush to support." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

With the old king's methodical order, the pale blue shield opened, this is an ancient magic craft that has been lost, so only this royal flagship is configured, and other ships do not have this defense system.

Boom –

With a long tail in tow, a magic projectile comparable to a mid-level mid-rank magic firefall shot out quickly, and the terrifying attack power that was enough to destroy a building instantly took away a war airship.

This is the conventional mode of combat of warships of the Navy.

However, this anti-air magic cannon is very slow to fill, and the crosshair is a bit poor, so it was purely accidental that it was able to hit a war airship just now. Generally, ship-to-ship warfare uses ordinary magic cannons that charge quickly and consume less.

The prelude to the naval battle officially began.

But the Kingdom Army is not stupid either, they do not seem to want to delay until the arrival of the Imperial Air Force reinforcements.

Therefore, instead of attacking other ships, they single-mindedly attacked the Royal Flagship, so after only one attack, the Royal Flagship's defense system collapsed.

"The ship is going to sink, abandon the ship, abandon the ship. ”

Saint Laurent XVIII shouted loudly, then turned to the guardian knight Carol and said, "Knight, even if you pay with your life, you must protect Thea to live." ”

Finally, he touched Thea's head.

The old king smiled and said: "Xiya, the hope of the dynasty is pinned on you, remember that the people of the empire are treacherous and not gullible, listen to Carol's advice in everything, and be strong for the future of the dynasty." ”

"Carol, Thea pleases you. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Carol realized that time was running out, and he jumped directly from the royal flagship with the princess in his arms.

"No, Carol, leave me alone, go save Grandpa. ”

Princess Thea struggles in the water, hoping that Carol can go back and save the king.

But at this time, a burst of flame fell from the sky and struck Saint Laurent XVIII, and the king of the Holy Dynasty pronounced his death.
