Char's words continued.

"By this time, Mahan already knew that it was impossible to win the war now through a huge siege as in the past.

And as I said before, in this era when the rail network is spread across Europe, all the gaps in defense can be filled by the rail network, and support will come soon.

Therefore, his real purpose was to force France to surrender by delivering a fatal blow to the French army through huge firepower, and at the same time depleting the living forces of the French army.

In layman's terms, it is to use the heavy firepower brought about by the mechanical revolution such as airplanes, tanks, artillery, and mecha to consume the population of West Fland.

Huge ammunition investment in exchange for results. ”

"Will West Farland be tricked?" Alicia asked.

"They had to put their forces here." "As I said, this is a very special place, and the fact that it is called the Key to Paris is a testament to its importance to the people of West France.

The peculiarity of this place is enough to lure the West Farnesians into their killing machine. ”

"That's why they don't attack the West Bank?" "Because she fears that if she takes the fortress of Verdun, it will cause the West Francis to retreat." ”

Char nodded, "But. . . The German commander-in-chief was still a little too arrogant. ”

"With the importance of Verdun to West Franc, even if they occupy Verdun, the West Francis will still be desperate to take it.

Otherwise, the loss of Paris would be a heavy blow to the entire West Francis and would also be a mental blow to the West Francis people.

And if they don't take the fortress now, it will be difficult to take the fortress again in a while."

Char muttered softly.

"West Francis may not be strong in industrial capacity, but Britannia is strong, and perhaps, this war may become purgatory for both sides."

The blood-smelling breeze on the battlefield hit their hair, and Alicia's face was solemn.

"How many people will die?"

"It depends on which of the two sides has a stronger will to fight." Char said quietly, "However, it will not be less than when he was on the battlefield in Serbia." ”

"Shall you take a shower?" Char asked.

He turned his head to look at the battlefield, "This battle will not end in a day or two. ”

The war began at dawn and continued with artillery fire until the evening, with stops on both sides, but then fierce clashes followed.

This was perhaps the most intense battlefield in the entire world war, and there was even a stray bullet that swept through the sky in a huge arc and blasted directly towards the castle.

However, as they approached the castle, the cannon fire suddenly took a sharp turn in the air and landed on one side of the ground, and a huge stone fell off the cliff wall and fell into the lake below, splashing countless waters.

Alicia didn't answer, "You should, you're here for purpose, right?" ”

"Is it to see this battle?"

"Yes, but not really."

Char lowered her head to look at the river.

Alicia raised her hand and grabbed his hand very tacitly, and at that moment, the two sides shared a perspective.

Through the deep Meuse River, the waves flowed, and they saw a huge barrier that separated the water from the barrier, forming an underwater space with air.

The huge sealing circle took up most of the space of this enchantment, and there were many ancient words on the circle, Rune, Ogham, and even a few things that even Alicia didn't quite recognize.

In a small house around the circle, two gray-haired old men were sitting facing each other playing chess.

Both Alicia knew each other, both of whom were in the first class of Hogwarts, one was Gayward, and the other was Martin William, the former president of the Wizarding Society.

"I've heard people at Hogwarts mention it." Alicia whispered, "They found a dragon's nest in West Fran, and then this dragon's nest showed signs of loose seals, and it used to be guarded by people from the Magical Association, and then even Gaverd called over. ”

"Is this so close to the battlefield?" Alicia said in surprise.

"Sometimes, many things that seem to coincide are the inevitability of fate." Char muttered softly.

Alicia fell into thought, "So, the person who set up this entrance had foreseen the occurrence of this war for a long time?" ”

Char had no words.

Suddenly, Alicia seemed to notice something, and slowly turned her head to look in the direction of Paris on the other side.

A group of cars and mechs were driving along a kilometer towards this side, it was an army, the number of troops was huge, and there was no end in sight, at least thousands of cars and troop transports were used as means of transport.

Alicia noticed that several of the mechs had detached from the road and walked straight up the hill to the side of the hill across from them.

They can't see the castle, as the castle has gone into stealth mode under Cassifer's magic.

The mecha of West Flange is still very different from the mecha of the German-Austrian Alliance, and the mecha in the world are mainly divided into three systems.

One is the mecha technology of the German-Austrian allies, the other is the technology of the Entente, and the other is the technology of Beichen.

The Entente's mechs had Tesla's shadow, while the German-Austrian Alliance's mechs had Gallant providing technology behind them.

This is also the reason why the Allies and the Entente can confront each other, in fact, it is the confrontation between Gallant and Tesla, two scientists who are ahead of their time.

This mech is very practical, using a back-legged design, which can bounce, has a better grip, runs faster, and has a focused center of gravity.

The mecha lid slowly opened, and a girl with neat short blond hair emerged from the mecha.

Alicia recognized the girl as the one they had rescued in the nearby village.

She wore an Entente military uniform, a navy blue British cavalry cap, a double-layered coat somewhat similar to the Spanish style, and thick-soled military boots. The upper body had a ribbon and shoulder straps representing military ranks, and a Polish saber pinned to his waist.

Compared with the village girl before, what is revealed in front of them at this moment is a general who has gone through the baptism of blood and fire, with swords, guns and roses, sassy and heroic.

She jumped off the mecha with great dexterity, while the soldier on the other side brought a two-meter-high flag gun from one side.

The material of the flag gun looked good, but it was heavy, but the girl was very light in holding it.

She took the flag gun and danced a spear flower casually, and then stuck the tail of the gun on the ground, and the flag on the flag gun was opened by this blow - it was the military flag of the West Francis Empire,

The breeze on the battlefield fluttered the flag, like the curvature of her hair in the air.

She just stood there, overlooking the battlefield.

Just as Zuo Zongtang carried the coffin into Xinjiang, the flag in the girl's hand is also the representative of her will.

As long as the flag does not fall, she will not leave this battlefield, which also represents her determination.

Determination to fight to the death against the invaders. (End of chapter)
