Chapter 690: The Man Who Eats and Waits for Death

If the Imperial army has withdrawn to the city of Elkia.

Then it must not be so easy for Vega to take a surprise attack.

Because the intensity of reconnaissance around the city has always been quite high, a sudden appearance of more than 300,000 troops around it will inevitably attract the attention of the empire, and when the time comes, they will close the city gates and refuse to defend the city, and there will not even be a chance to take it head-on.

Therefore, the presence of this army on the border is great news for Vega.

Without a long front, the chance of detection is avoided, and without a strong wall, it means that it can be attacked unprepared. These conditions were simply too favorable for Vega.

As long as this army is completely annihilated.

Then it is equal to the eastern part of the empire is already in hand.

After making preparations, Vega braved the wind and snow to cross the border and march with difficulty.

And what about the army in the eastern part of the empire?

They could not have imagined that the West Bank would do the opposite at this time, attacking their garrison in such a ghostly situation, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that the priority of Vega was to reclaim their homeland, not to wage a war of aggression.

Outside the Elkia Forest.

The eastern part is mostly hilly and plain, with few lofty mountains, and the Elkia Forest is the only place close to the eastern shore and of a hidden nature, so the eastern half of the thousand troops are stationed here.

"Your Excellency, the meeting is about to begin. ”

The Adjutant spoke cautiously to Commander Haussmann Christian, who was sitting in front of the fire and napping in front of the fire.

Opening his squinted eyes slightly, he said to the adjutant: "Let's cancel today's regular meeting, anyway, the enemy's target is not here, it is useless to hold this kind of summary meeting every day, summarize and summarize, summarize how many hours you sleep in a day?"

"But you've canceled your regular meeting for three days in a row. ”

"Soldier, do your job. ”

Haussmann Christian tugged at the blanket and lay down in a rocking chair in a different position, looking at the crackling flames in the fire, lamenting his bad luck.

Haussmann was once the commander of the Seventh Army in the eastern part of the Reich.

Speaking of which, Vega and Eskar are still his subordinates.

His favorite thing is to die safely, and the most hated thing is trouble and war, so he is proficient in a set of checks and balances, and the rules and regulations of the top management of the Seventh Army are obedient, and later he successfully rose to the position of the Imperial Central Military Department, and the entire eastern part was handed over to Eskar to take care of.

This made him think that he could live for a long time.

But ah, the most hated thing happened to him.

The little ghost who likes to cause trouble turned the originally peaceful eastern land into a mess, and then I don't know who brought in a group of wurms from overseas, and the empire couldn't find the north, and finally there was a rebel army......

His peace was shattered.

He could have been entrusted with the task of returning to the eastern part of the empire, to the city of Elkia, where he was already on the verge of vomiting, and at the same time leading the army to attack the west bank.

He's had enough of this kind of ghost weather in the east!

The clammy air even made his arthritis start to recur.

Haussman changed his posture and began to miss the imperial capital with all year rounds, and his own comfortable house.

So.

As a famous general who has lost his ability to fight, and as an ordinary high-ranking official who 'keeps to himself' and follows the principle of 'if you don't do anything, you will never make mistakes', it is naturally impossible for him to attack the West Bank with all his might.

He's not the main force anyway.

Foster on the East Coast is the main force in this battle, and it would be nice to let the person who likes to be in the limelight contribute.

are all people who are about to settle down, do they still regard honor as so important?

Therefore, he is very clear about his positioning, as long as he makes a symbolic attack, he does not seek merit but no fault.

This is also the reason why Ilo and Mennonite easily held the west bank, because the Imperial army in the east simply did not do their best.

"When will this war be a head? ”

Hausman's hoarse voice echoed through the empty room: "That guy Foster can't be a little more reliable, wouldn't it be good to take down the West Bank in one fell swoop and kill that little ghost? A god-rank mage, can he still turn the sky upside down? Tug-of-war, guerrilla warfare, sound from east to west, and turn the tiger away from the mountain...... That little ghost has taught you all these tricks, and you still don't know how to use them?"

"It's so stupid!"

Hausman turned on the fragmented thought mode: "No wonder you were the second in the military academy every time, and the officer who has lost his sense of war should be offered up by the empire as a cultural relic, so that we can support our old age? I'm already eighty years old, and I still let me lead the army to fight!"

"What do you think I worked so hard for when I was young?"

"It's not about being able to live out when you're old. ”

"As a result, when we are old, we have to exploit our time, and the empire is simply too much. ”

“......”

The crackling of the fire, which eventually caused Haussman to take a nap.

He liked the feeling of comfort and even wanted to carry it on until the end of the war.

But less than a few dozen minutes after falling asleep, the door was vigorously opened.

Bang!

The loud bang disturbed his dreams.

"What happened?"

Hausman didn't get angry, and seemed to be unconcerned about the adjutant's rudeness, but in his heart he had already sentenced the adjutant to death, and he felt that he needed to be prepared to find an opportunity to replace the talkative and rude adjutant.

"Lord Commander, enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!"

The adjutant said in a panic: "Countless Jialan troops have suddenly come out, because we are not prepared at all, the enemy has broken through two lines of defense and is killing on our side." ”

"That little ghost ......"

Hausman did not panic, but slowly got up from the rocking chair, then put on his military coat and said, "Order to retreat, retreat immediately." No one is allowed to resist, give me the 150,000 guards who have given up the first two lines of defense, and the main force will retreat directly in the direction of the city of Elkia, and we must distance ourselves as soon as possible, and we will definitely be able to go. ”

"Commander, are you going to give up the lives of 150,000 guards?"

"I don't want you to talk too much, give me orders. ”

"Yes, Commander. ”

The adjutant was somewhat reluctant to convey the order.

"Sooner or later, I'm going to have to replace you!"

Hausman snorted, then glanced nostalgically at the warm and comfortable room, and finally walked out without reluctance, and then retreated to the rear as soon as possible under the protection of the guards. But the moment he walked out of the room, Hausman's eyes were bright and frightening.

"The empire will exploit me. ”

"It's okay if Foster is incompetent. ”

"Even you little devil won't let me live in peace?!"

"Good! good!"

Hausman's eyes burst out with a terrifying murderous aura: "I'm not Foster's second thousand-year-old, although I have lost my ability to fight, but you will definitely make the wrong choice for you to find me." ”
