Chapter 301: Supreme
Port Tully.
Large military ships are docked here.
Now the 150,000 elite troops of the Dynasty Army have safely crossed the Donbu River and reached the west bank to set up defenses.
But the most serious problem encountered now is that the defensive line has collapsed too quickly, and the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Royal Legion and more than 50,000 on the side of the Imperial Army have not yet had time to retreat.
"Tell Your Majesty. β
The old general said in a somewhat trembling tone: "The royal army has launched an attack on Tali City, and judging from the current battle situation, it is quite difficult to hold out for a day, please retreat immediately." β
"How many warships are docked in the harbor now?"
"There are only about 13 large warships. β
The old general paused, and then continued: "Based on the current estimate, 13 warships can only carry out a maximum of one round trip and two transports, and each warship can transport about 5,000 soldiers, which can accommodate 130,000 evacuations. β
After listening to the report, with sad eyes.
Saint Laurent XVIII looked at the black oppressive royal legions in front of him, and the royal legions that were originally allowed to cross the river until the end in order to stabilize the army's hearts may be lost here, which makes him not feel heartache.
These are all bargaining chips for the counterattack.
But now is not the time for a woman's kindness, Saint Laurent XVIII slowly closed his eyes, and then a difficult voice spat out of his mouth: "Let the 6th, 8th, and 9th divisions be stationed in the city of Tully, I believe that with the addition of the Royal Legion, it can give a shot of stimulant to the troops on the front." β
"Yes, Your Majesty. β
The old general went to convey the order as soon as possible.
This means that the entire Royal Legion is about 150,000 men, and 50,000 will be left on the East Coast, and the addition of these 50,000 will ensure that there will be no major mistakes in the next plan.
But when he heard this Vega, his heart couldn't help but sink.
Judging from the current situation, there are only 130,000 places for retreat, and the royal legion of the dynasty army occupies 10/13, so how will the remaining 30,000 places be distributed?
The 1st, 2nd, and 4th divisions, as well as his separate brigade.
These four forces have a total of 54,000 people, and if there are only 30,000 places, then it means that 24,000 people need to be abandoned here......
So Vega's worst fears came true.
The old king Saint Laurent XVIII came to the commander of the 1st Division, Mari, and the commander of the 4th Division, Garru, and said: "Your army, please retreat with me immediately, but there is such a mistake in the plan, and I can only give your army 30,000 places to retreat, I am really sorry." β
The Supreme Commanders of the Imperial Army, Mari and Garru, were silent.
If it weren't the royal legion that crossed the river, the dynasty dared to give them only 30,000 places, and they wouldn't do anything, but they wouldn't dare to give them 30,000 places if they gave up the royal legion to the other party.
What should I do now?
The two of them glanced at each other, and at the same time looked at Vega.
This is also a matter of course, Vega has just arrived in the east not long ago, and the connections here have not yet begun to operate, so naturally no one will speak for him, plus Vega's troops only have 6,000 remnants left, what is the use of bringing them back?
Survival of the fittest, coupled with xenophobia.
The commander of the 4th Division, Garru, came to Viga: "General Vega, you have also seen the current situation, you are the only commander here who has the most experience in fighting with the Kingdom Army, so I would like to ask you to go to Tali City to stop the enemy army." I believe that with the command ability of your officer, he will be able to retreat with his whole body after the end of the blockade battle. β
"Yes, yes, in terms of command ability, I only serve you, Brigadier Vega. β
"If it's General Vega, there must be no problem. β
Mari and several other division commanders echoed: "In order to allow Brigadier General Vega to retreat with all his body, each of our divisions will allocate part of the troops to assist you, and after 24 hours, your officer can retreat at any time." β
What a high-sounding statement, Vega sneered.
Say a few kind words and want him to die?
What kind of troop aid is also said, this is just a favor for the troops that cannot be taken away.
Therefore, he immediately refused: "I'm sorry, please allow me to refuse this mission, the commander-in-chief gave me the order to open a retreat channel, not to let me come here to die." β
"Your Excellency, this is an order!"
Garru's originally friendly expression was instantly retracted, and he looked down at Vega condescendingly: "Don't forget that I am the supreme commander of this support mission, and you have no right to refuse my orders." β
"Good, good. β
Vega gritted his teeth and spat out three words.
If it was the order of the commander of the 1st Division, Mali, he could still use the Decadent Tang without jurisdiction.
However, he could not ignore the order of the commander of the 4th Division, Garru, and if he did not obey this order, even if he returned to the empire at that time, he would probably not be greeted by the people of the Seventh Army, but by the military tribunal of the trial system.
Therefore he can only obey and cannot resist.
And even if he disobeyed the order, the dynastic army would not be able to give him the quota to cross the river, no one would take him as a brigadier general, and in the final analysis, all these ship resources were in the hands of the Holy Dynasty.
"The subordinate obeys!"
Four words popped out of Vega's mouth, and he snorted and turned to leave.
There is no doubt that he was abandoned again.
How many times has this been abandoned by the Empire?
When he counted it, he found that there were too many to count.
From the Third Army in the north of the empire all the way to the Seventh Army in the east, his status has also been promoted from an unknown recruit to a brigadier general rank and division-level officer with more than 10 million people.
Butβ
Vega sadly discovers that even at this point, he still can't escape the fate of being abandoned by the Empire.
Is his ground not high enough?
The empire has less than a thousand generals, but the population is nearly 1 billion, which is not too much to say that it is more than 100 million.
Is it because his strength is not strong enough?
The total number of magicians and professionals is only 800,000, of which there are less than a thousand high-level magicians, which is too rare for the citizens of the empire in hundreds of millions.
"But ah!"
Vega's eyes were profound: "As long as the strength is not the strongest, as long as the status is not the supreme, then I will never be able to get rid of the fate of being betrayed and abandoned, survival of the fittest is the eternal theme in this world." β
Supreme as the FΓΌhrer.
The strongest is as a star magician.
For these two types of people, only they abandon others, and no one dares to abandon and betray them.
No matter what circle you are in, this is the truest rule of the game.
Either achieve the highest or humblely obey.
Being in this realm, Vega had no choice.
If you're lucky.
After the large army crossed the river, he could still find a way to retreat.
If you're unlucky......
Vega clenched the cross sword in his hand, even if he was not favored by fate, he would definitely live, and then use his own way to achieve the supreme, how could the footsteps of pursuing a comfortable life stay in such a place.
