Chapter 109: The Civil War Is in Progress (Part 1)

Celestial City

The commander of the Iron Fort immediately contacted the Supreme Council in the rear and informed the councillors of the situation in the Heavenly City.

"The resistance of the troops under the command of the flying cloud is so stubborn, weren't they soldiers who were loyal to the Supreme Council, how did the flying cloud turn them into the way they are now, the rebels have reprogrammed the soldiers?"

The councillors were surprised and puzzled by the Commander's report, wondering why soldiers who had once been loyal to the Supreme Council had suddenly become rebels loyal to their pilots, given that their Supreme Council had not treated these soldiers badly.

"The war has changed them, esteemed councillors, the city is like a smasher, where both the rebels and the soldiers of our army have been shattered to pieces, and now they want to live more than loyalty, and they have abandoned their loyalty to the Supreme Council."

"I'm sorry."

Looking at the projected councillors, the Ironhold Commander explained that this was inevitable, or that their loyalty to the Supreme Council had faded from the moment they became rebels.

"Your Excellency, commander, if you are to use air troops, may I ask if you can break through the rebels' positions as soon as possible and drive them out of the Heavenly City."

In the hall of the Supreme Council, the Red Spider asks the commander of the Iron Fortress who is on the front line of the Heavenly City if he can break through the enemy's defenses if there is a terrifying bombardment.

"I'm afraid I can't, respected Red Spider Commander, the rebels are better at fighting in the ruins of the buildings of the city than my soldiers, they have learned a lot from fighting the defenders of the city before, and now it is difficult to drive them out of the city."

The Commander of the Iron Fort truthfully informed the Red Spider of the battle situation on the front line, and his troops had been suppressing the rebels, but because the rebels hiding in the wreckage of the building kept blocking the soldiers, the soldiers could not push the defensive line, which made the Iron Fort Commander very depressed, he did not expect that in the end, it would be the architectural wreckage of the city that would prevent him from retaking the city.

"Then, how many troops can be sent back to the Iron Fort by the front line of the Heavenly City?"

Seeing what the commander of the Iron Fort said, the members of the Supreme Council also understood that it was not easy to recapture the Heavenly City, so they changed the topic and asked how many troops could return to defend the Iron Fort, after all, there were only the troops of the Shockwave Councilor on the Iron Fort side to block Salas's attack, and if it was breached, the insufficient Iron Fort would be exposed to Salas.

"If I don't attack, I can send most of my troops back to help, but in that case, the city will be reinforced by the rebels, and the next attack on the rebels will be even more difficult."

After hesitating for a moment, the Commander of the Iron Castle reported truthfully that he did not want to stop the attack if he could, because that would lead to the loss of his previous efforts, but the Iron Fortress now seemed to be in danger, which made the Iron Castle Commander a little confused for a while whether to persuade the Supreme Council.

Listening to the report of the Commander of the Iron Keep, the members of the Supreme Council looked at each other, this is indeed a difficult choice, if they can, the Supreme Council does not want the Commander of the Iron Keep to give up the gains of his attack, but now they must make a choice.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I know that you don't want the sacrifices of the front-line soldiers to be given up in vain, but now we have to make a choice, Salas's main force has entered the territory of the Iron Fort, and if we can't intercept his offensive, then the Iron Fortress will become a battlefield."

"At that time, citizens and soldiers loyal to the Supreme Council will sacrifice even more, which we do not want to happen, Your Excellency Commander, I hope you can understand."

The councillors looked at the projected commander of the Iron Keep and persuaded him that the invasion of the Iron Keep by Salas' rebels was something that the Supreme Council did not want to see.

Because the Iron Fort, as the capital, not only has a large number of weapons and equipment production lines dismantled and transported from the Dawn Heights, but also inhabited by a large number of residents loyal to the Supreme Council, if the Iron Fort is attacked, the war will shake the loyalty of the residents to the Supreme Council, and at that time, I am afraid that it will become more difficult for them to counterattack.

"I understand, honorable councillor, I will send troops back as soon as the defense line of the Heavenly City is secured."

Seeing that the members of the Supreme Council had said so, the commander of the Iron Fort front did not have to say anything more, so he had to say that he would send troops back to the Iron Fort as soon as possible.

Seeing the compromise of the commander of the Iron Fort, the members of the Supreme Council also pinned their hopes on the troops that were about to return, as long as the troops from the Heavenly City side came back, the attack speed of the main force of Nasalas would slow down again, and they would have more time to train new soldiers and organize new troops to defend the Iron Fort.

While the members of the Supreme Council were anxious about the advance of Salas's main force, the militias of Niang and Soaring Castle officially exchanged fire with the rebels who had invaded the city, and although the militia continued to lose its defensive buildings during the offensive and defensive battles, the two cities were largely under the control of the militia.

At the same time, in order to better defend the city, Niang and the Archon of Soaring Sky City asked the High Council for support, and in response to the pleas for help from the cities under its rule, the High Council said that they were currently resisting the attack of Salas's main army, and there were no extra troops to support.

Of course, the Supreme Council didn't do too much, they sent transport planes to Niang and Soaring Sky City to drop a batch of pulse rifles and thermal rocket launchers that the militia urgently needed, which can be regarded as giving more residents who want to defend the city with weapons to resist.

While the Iron Fort commander on the front line of the city was busy, Optimus Prime also received orders from the Supreme Council to him, or orders to the defenders of the city.

The members of the Supreme Council trust Optimus Prime after all, after all, he is the leader module seeker elected by the Shockwave Councillors, his girlfriend Alita is still a new councilor, and even Optimus Prime himself led the defenders of Celestial City in a defensive battle, holding out until the arrival of the Iron Keep's reinforcements.

All these factors are superimposed, and the Supreme Council believes that Optimus Prime can be trusted, after all, without Optimus Prime taking over the command temporarily, Celestial City is now in the bag of the flying cloud.

Therefore, in order to win over Optimus Prime and increase the strength of loyalty to the Supreme Council, the councillors arranged for Optimus Prime to lead his men back to the Iron Fort to recuperate, and they would replenish the recruits to Optimus Prime's troops as soon as possible, of course, the councillors also hoped to use this to consolidate the loyalty of the residents of the city to the Supreme Council.

"The councillors actually let us go back to the Iron Keep to rest, it seems that the councillors are very optimistic about you, Optimus Prime."

In the temporary field headquarters, the police car looked at the order from the direction of the Iron Fort with some surprise, he thought that they would continue to stick to the defense line of the Heavenly City, but he didn't expect to be able to return to the Iron Fort to rest, and maybe even get a replenishment of troops.

"Could it be that Aelita mentioned Ling, Optimus Prime to the other members of the Supreme Council?"

The police car turned its head to look at Optimus Prime on the side, after separating from the battlefield of Bosa Heavenly City, the police car also received a lot of news from the Iron Castle, including the fact that Alita became a member of the Supreme Council.

"I don't know, police car."

Listening to the police car's questioning, Optimus Prime shook his head slightly, but he was sure of one thing, that is, the Supreme Council needed itself, and the Supreme Council needed a commander who was resolute against the rebels.
