General Dardanelles stood on a protruding stone at the top of the hill, holding a telescope, looking at the camp of the army of the Kingdom of Lampari in the distance at the foot of the mountain, with a grim expression.

The army of the Lampari Kingdom has been stationed at the foot of the mountain for two days, but there has been no movement, which is really strange.

But General Dardanelle did not dare to take it lightly, after all, he is now leading his legions to guard, but it is the most important pass to the northern provinces of the former Candela Empire, once lost, the Maro Empire's control area in the north of the Candela Empire will be completely exposed to the army of the Lampari Kingdom.

With the current comparison of the strength of the two armies, if they can't block the army of the Lampari Kingdom at such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack pass, and let them pour into the northern plains of the Candela Empire, it means that the territory that the Maro Empire had managed to control with great difficulty before has been completely lost.

However...... Can it be kept?

General Dardanelle looked up at the sky and smiled wryly.

Compared with the Maro Empire's, the Lampari Kingdom's military combat magic airship can be said to be much better than the Maro Empire's, so that when the two armies are facing each other now, the Lampari Kingdom always has air supremacy, and the Maro Empire can only be controlled everywhere.

In order to regain the disadvantage of air supremacy, it is said that the empire has begun to discuss the reactivation of the magician legion system, bringing the powerful magicians accumulated over the years in the empire back to the battlefield, and relying on them to deal with the magic airship brigade of the Lampari Kingdom.

On the face of it, this proposal is not unreasonable.

Although the power of the magic airship is great, it is not as flexible as it is because of its size.

Use a powerful magician to deal with it. With the in-depth study and understanding of the magical space by the magicians now. It's not like it was when you first encountered the New Flying Chamber's magic airship. Because the simplest magical elemental space lock is powerless, then there is hope to compete with it.

In reality, however, the feasibility of this proposal is extremely low.

First of all, because of the limited "Continental Magician Peace Treaty", few magicians in the Maro Empire will be willing to risk violating the Convention to rejoin the army of the Maro Empire to fight for it, because this is very likely to make them lose all the opportunities to evaluate their skills in the future, and then lose all the opportunities to work in other chambers of commerce, research institutes and other places.

Serving one's own country is indeed the duty of the magicians of the Maro Empire, but it costs their own future for it. But no one would do it.

Second, even if the magicians were willing, the Maro Empire itself might not be willing.

Re-recruiting mages into the army and joining the war with the kingdom of Lampari is a clear violation of the Continental Mage Peace Pact, and the Maro Empire is bound to be condemned by all the countries of the entire Sainz continent.

This is only more detrimental to the current situation of the Maro Empire.

As a last resort, the Marlo Empire was unwilling to adopt such a repercussive approach.

Besides, even if you do this, you will only be able to regain some air supremacy at most, but it will be difficult to completely suppress the magic airship brigade of the Lampari Kingdom army.

As for wanting to gain an advantage from this. Defeating the kingdom of Lampari is basically impossible.

Otherwise. Even if the Maro Empire is desperately criticized by other countries, it will definitely insist on doing so.

The Candela Empire has been killed, and if the Lampari Kingdom is completely defeated, the Maro Empire will be the most powerful country on the Sainz continent, and there is no one.

At that time, it doesn't matter what this convention is or that convention is about.

But it is precisely because of the lack of this confidence that the Maro Empire cannot make this determination.

In the distance, several black dots flew quickly.

General Dardanelle didn't need to look closely at all, and knew that it should be the Lampari Kingdom's cargo magic airship that transported another batch of logistics supplies.

In the past two days, he has seen a similar situation four times in the past two days alone, which shows how often the Lampari Kingdom transports supplies.

However, after seeing this situation here, General Dardanelle's doubts deepened.

Since the Lampari Kingdom is willing to have the luxury of using cargo magic airships to quickly transport logistics supplies, it proves that their attack should be very strong.

But they waited at the foot of the mountain for two days and there was no movement.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is natural that no matter what you do, you should race against time.

Any little bit of time is precious, and it was a major decision mistake for the army of the Lampari Kingdom to waste two days here.

Unless...... What conspiracy is brewing in them.

Thinking of this, General Dardanelle put down his binoculars irritably, snatched a huge magic phone box from the hands of the guards beside him, and connected a communication.

"Hey, Hannicher, how's your side?"

"Not much. A calm, calm voice rang out from the magic call box. "What's the matter?

"It's better to have a situation!" General Dardanelle snorted. "These damn Lampari people have been stuck at the foot of the mountain for more than two days and have been doing nothing, what the hell are they trying to do?"

"Maybe they're just trying to stop you. ”

Hannicher, like General Dardanelle, is the commander of a garrison legion of the Imperial Army of the Maro Empire, and now he is in command of a legion, each guarding two places that originally belonged to the Candela Empire.

Because the two had a good relationship in private, and they were not far apart, Dardanelle would often communicate with Hannicher.

"Why are you holding me back? The Empire isn't ready to counterattack yet, unless they want to counterattack us. General Dardanelle muttered. "But looking at the way they look now, they don't look like it. ”

"Obviously, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce wants to cooperate with the guys of the Candela Empire to toss things in the west and south, and the Lampari Kingdom is cooperating with their actions. Hannicher's tone remained light.

"I really don't know what the hell the hell the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is doing. If they really wanted to divide the territory of the Candela Empire from the mouth of the Empire, they could have sent the convoy out to rob it openly, so why did they have to toss so many things around the bush? General Dardanelle's tone was full of disdain. "It is said that Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, is also the wisest person, I think he is completely old and confused now. ”

"If you don't understand anything, just shut up and watch. Hannicher's tone finally changed slightly, but it was an unceremonious rebuke to General Dardanelle. "There must be a reason for what a character like President Xu is considering, but I can't see it yet. ”

General Dardanelle sighed helplessly: "Okay, you guy is a loyal fan of Xu Yi, I really shouldn't talk to you about this topic." Speaking of which...... Hannicher, if you weren't from our Marlo Empire, I'm afraid you would have simply thrown yourself into the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right?"

"If you know President Xu well enough, you will have the same deep admiration for him as I do. Hannicher's tone was solemn. "But that doesn't mean I'll choose to join the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. And now is not the time to discuss these issues with you, the Empire has asked us to hold these two places, just to stabilize the area in the north that originally belonged to the Candela Empire, and when the Empire digests this area well, I believe there will be further action. As for now, let the Lampari Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce toss in the south. ”

"Of course I do. It's just that being stuck in the mountains like this and not being able to go out is really uncomfortable. General Dardanelle grumbled.

"If you think you can win, then I'm not opposed to you taking someone into a fight. Hanniche said coldly.

"I'm not crazy yet. General Dardanelle muttered and decisively hung up the communication.

The correspondence with Hannicher was of no real significance, and was only a relief for General Dardanelle to relieve his irritability.

He often did this kind of thing, and Hannicher had long been used to it, so in fact, neither side talked about much in the communication, it could only be regarded as nonsense.

Seeing General Dardanelle put down the magic call box, one of the guards walked over and handed him a form.

"General, this is the latest combat readiness report that has just been counted. ”

General Dardanelle frowned, but finally sighed and took the form.

Although he had already been mentally prepared, after seeing the situation on the form clearly, General Dardanelle still felt a faint pain in his head.

Compared to yesterday's statistics, the combat readiness of the legion has really gotten worse.

The table clearly shows that just yesterday, two magic cannons failed, one of them was a direct failure of the firing circle, and the other was a crack in the barrel and could not be fired at all.

At the same time, among the magic shells in reserve, after a day, thirteen new ones were found to have completely lost their effectiveness.

Coupled with the fact that thirty-seven magic repeaters had various malfunctions, the tracks of a magic tank fell off, and even the eggs in the warehouse disappeared for no reason, more than a hundred ......

All sorts of bad conditions piled up, making General Dardanelle look so upset that he couldn't help but kick a nearby tree.

"Damn, those guys in the logistics department are eating!"

Small problems such as the lack of more than a hundred eggs can be ignored directly, but the various new arms failures that occur every day are unbearable for General Dardanelle.

The military magic machinery armament of this legion under his command was already at a disadvantage compared to the Lampari Kingdom, and now there were still so many non-combat losses every day, if it continued like this, there would be no need for the Lampari Kingdom to fight at all, and he himself would not be able to hold on.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scold the guys from the Logistics Department of the Marlo Imperial Military Department loudly in his heart.

In addition to the five Praetorian Guard legions directly under the Imperial Family, the Logistics Department always lacks two pounds and deducts when equipping garrison legions like the one he commands.

Now these soldiers under his command are equipped with all kinds of military magic machines, not to mention the quantity is obviously insufficient, and the quality is also a variety of problems.

But he also knows that sometimes he can't blame the Logistics Department. (To be continued.) )
