The conversation between Gu Hang and Wang Qi, the mother and son, was all about what to do after the war. No matter how many differences there are between the two and how much Wang Qi worries about his son's plan, there is one thing that the two of them have never talked about at all, but it has been tacitly adopted as the premise of everything:

Gu Ming and Nes Luhmann are dead.

The reason for this acquiescence is that neither of them regards this matter as a problem, but as a sure fact.

And the reality also proves that the two of them are not arrogant.

After the Immortal Bird and the Air Regiment, after completing a beautiful assault operation and destroying a Knight Titan, the Luhmann Legion, which was besieging the suburban town, collapsed.

It's also thanks to the fact that when the immortals were attacking, they didn't know that Gu Ming and Nes Luman were next to the knight Titan that they killed, and let the two of them run away. Otherwise, with the ability of the immortal birds, these two people can be slaughtered on the spot.

But they can run for a while, but they can't run for a lifetime.

In the next few days, several events happened in a row, which was a symbol of the collapse of the alliance between the two of them.

Moreover, these things happen very quickly.

First of all, it was the last Knight Titan in the army of the Kingdom of Luman, which was destroyed.

After the defeat on the battlefield in the suburbs, while the main reinforcements of the alliance had not yet arrived, the Luhmann army was trying to gather troops and withdraw to the city of Pinser.

However, at this time, an armored composite battalion of the 1st Wind Extinguishing Brigade, as the first unit of the whole army to disembark from the landing ship, the vanguard of the whole army, had already rushed to the battlefield.

Seeing the main force of the reorganized Luman Army, this synthetic battalion was still a little afraid.

Their strength is not more than a thousand, although there are nine Lion tanks and more than fifty infantry chariots of various types, but to impact the main force of tens of thousands of enemy troops, especially in the opponent's army, there are still hundreds of sentry mechas, and there is also a Knight Titan, it is indeed difficult to do, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back if I rush in.

The commander of this unit, a major battalion commander, after thinking twice, decided to hold his hand.

It commanded the troops, but followed them from a distance, monitoring the movements.

In fact, the battalion commander of the major was still very nervous.

The number of his troops is too small, and all of them are armored troops and mobile units, and it is impossible to dig out any temporary positions and fortifications in order to keep chasing the enemy. If the enemy does hit head-on, it will be a big trouble.

Especially if that Knight Titan moves, it's even more scalp-tingling.

However, he soon found himself overthinking.

The performance of the other side is much more panicked than him.

As soon as the armored troops led by him appeared, the enemy jumped up like a frightened bird.

Through his military binoculars, in the reports of his scouts, he could see that the enemy army was in great confusion. The Knight Titan, which made him jealous, even sped away from them.

This made the battalion commander of the major feel very ridiculous.

Not to mention his synthetic battalion, that Knight Titan cost much more than their entire brigade combined.

As a result, when the Titan was accompanied by a large number of other troops around, when it found that the strength of its own battalion appeared nearby, its first reaction was to accelerate its escape?

In addition to feeling that this thing was absurd, he also suddenly had a different idea:

Or, fuck the damn vote?

The army of the Luhmanns is also too stretched.

It's like a broken backbone.

However, his sanity was still on the line, and he was not directly bewitched by this seductive idea.

But soon, another thing, catalyzing his idea, led him to make a decision: the Star Marines and the Alliance Air Force are coming.

Military communications went directly to his command car, and after a brief communication between the two sides, he made a decision.

Oh, he didn't have to make that decision now. In the military sequence of the Alliance, the authority of the Immortal Bird War Leader Martins is quite high. According to the military regulations of the Alliance, he needs to obey the orders of the war leader on the battlefield, unless the war leader's orders are absolutely in conflict with the mission he is currently performing, he needs to ask for instructions.

And now, the commander of the Martins War Regiment just let his team, which is carrying out surveillance, directly launch an attack to divert the enemy's attention, which is not a situation of contradiction.

The only thing to worry about is the loss.

But this is a serious battle order, where is there any fear of losses?

The troops were quickly ready for battle and went on the offensive.

They are already in a state of combat readiness at any time, and they don't need to prepare anything else, and they can start fighting at the first order.

And the result of the fight......

As one might expect, the Luhmanns had no will to fight, and were casually beaten to the ground, scattering like crushed sand and gravel under the torrent of steel.

This is a rout battle, and the specific damage is actually not large, and the strength of a battalion cannot fight any operations such as outflanking and annihilating in formations.

However, their assault also really achieved results.

The Lumans, whose morale had collapsed after the defeat in the battle in the suburban town, were only barely regrouped together at the moment, and after being rushed like this, they had a tendency to collapse again.

Of course, among them, there is always a reliable existence.

That's the knights.

Among the feudal legions, these feudal lords who act as middle-level officers, knights who have been carefully cultivated since childhood, still have the will to fight.

Under the command and insistence of these knights, the assault of this synthetic battalion inevitably began to slow down, and gradually had a tendency to fall into a quagmire.

After all, their forces are still a little too small.

The Knight Titan also reacted, and instead of continuing to flee, it used long-range firepower to start attacking the Alliance's army.

Casualties began to appear.

But it was also at this moment that the immortal bird appeared.

The Wind Falcon's trademark roar came first, and they were at least a hundred kilometers away at first, but within fifteen minutes of the battle, they were on the battlefield.

There were no missiles, and in the previous battle in the suburban town, they had finished shooting the airborne missiles, and there was no condition to replenish them for a while.

However, the airborne laser cannon and the actual single cannon still played a very powerful effect.

After a round of licking, the Luman army became more scattered.

And the Space Marines also fell from the sky.

It's a repetition of the old tricks. The three falcons juggled in unison, reducing their altitude to about ten meters, flying at a slight reduction in speed, and firing fiercely at their perimeter.

At the same time, the hatch opened, and the Space Marines jumped down one by one.

However, what if you can't underestimate any enemy anyway?

Some of the knights who piloted the Sentinel Mecha had experienced the battles in the outskirts of the town. After the wind falcon's signature sound appeared in the sky, some of them were brave enough to raise their guns and blast towards the wind falcon.

Most of them were unsuccessful.

The wind falcon that swept at high speed was not so easy to hit.

However, the three wind falcons carrying the immortal birds ran into trouble.

Reduced altitude and reduced flight speed make them more at risk.

One of them, just as the Space Marines were being dropped, was hit in the wing by a series of machine guns.

The entire Wind Falcon tumbled and fell, slamming to the ground, and smashing the Sentinel Mecha that had exploded the Wind Falcon.

The morale of the surrounding Luhmanns was briefly high.

Shoot down a plane, especially if it's also loaded with the formidable Space Marine.

However, the upsurge was short-lived because it was quickly replaced by panic.

Not to mention the ten Space Marines who successfully fell, just the slightly deformed hatch inside the crashed Wind Falcon was suddenly kicked open from the inside.

A Space Marine sprang out and fired a blaster at the perimeter, clearing out the threatening target.

Of course, the so-called 'threat' is not so threatening. In fact, when they saw that the Space Marines could emerge from the crashed craft unscathed, those Luhmanns were full of all they could think about was to run.

Subsequently, multiple Space Marines came out of it, and a team of five people gathered.

In the case of the Wind Falcon's crash, none of the five Space Marines were seriously injured, and all of them retained their combat effectiveness.

However, the crash still delayed some time. Their battle brothers had already rushed towards the Knight Titan not far away.

There is no need for these five to follow suit.

They raised their weapons and began to sweep away the surrounding enemies, targeting the Sentinel Mechs who were more stubborn in resisting.

And in the process, their attention did not lose sight of the main goal, and it was not surprising that they saw with their own eyes the process of their wargroup leader quickly destroying the Knight Titan.

The Knight Titan's most important means of defense, the shield generator it loads, is ineffective against Space Marines - unless they're stupid enough to only strike with ranged weapons.

The issue of unrecognizable slow targets allows Space Marines to attack directly by walking, passing through energy shields, and using cold weapons. There is not much difference between the presence and absence of a shield generator.

Of course, the Knight Titan itself is heavily armored. It's a pity that Martins has a power sword in his hand. In front of this weapon with a decomposition stance, ordinary armor is the same as papier-mâché.

How to demolish the Knight Titan in the suburban town, he is doing the same now.

And when this knight titan collapsed, the Luman legion, which was already on the verge of collapse, collapsed even more completely. Not to mention the ordinary Luman soldiers, even the knights who drove the sentry mechs had lost the will to continue fighting.

This also made the evacuation of the Space Marines much smoother, and they easily escaped with the synthesized battalion that had broken free from the quagmire.

……

The evacuation road from the outskirts to the city of Pinsel was covered with the remains of the Luhmins.

It's a pity that the main force that came to support them was not unloaded fast enough, and many of them were still crushing the troops sent to intercept them in the form of a torrent of steel, so that there was no way to take advantage of the enemy's collapse to fight a beautiful siege and annihilation battle outside the city of Pinser.

The forces of the alliance can only use small-scale wolf pack tactics to constantly bite off pieces of meat on these scattered troops.

Despite the large number of casualties of the enemy's living forces, and also forced a considerable part of the Luhmann to desert. But in the end, about 20,000 people were released and entered the city.

It looks like there are quite a few of them, but in fact, more than 80 percent of the enemy has either died or fled, and they have not formed a system or a threat.

What's more, most of those who fled back to Pincer City were miscellaneous soldiers.

The main army of the Kingdom of Luman, even if it still exists in name, is in fact finished.

The country's population of 40 million supported an army of about 500,000 people, but most of them were under the control of feudal lords. The core of it is actually about 600 knights, and the top level is the six ranger-level knight titans who are supported by the power of the whole country.

In the political ecology of the Kingdom of Luman, there are two Grand Marquises, each of whom owns a Knight Titan, and has more than 200 knights who owe allegiance to them. Although they are vassals of the kingdom, they are relatively independent.

The core force that Nes Luman could control was called the Royal Knights, which consisted of two hundred royal knights and two Ranger Titans; Add to that the two counts who owe direct allegiance to the royal family and their vassals, and that's two hundred knights and two Titans.

These made up the overall military power of the Luman Kingdom.

From the very beginning, Nes Luhmann used almost all of his war forces. There were not many ordinary miscellaneous soldiers, only about 150,000, but the four hundred knights and four Titans were called for in advance in the name of 'festival'.

This is almost the basic plate of his subordinates, all taken out.

Then, it's all gone.

The most painful, of course, is the loss of the four Knight Titans.

This loss cannot be seen only at the cost of 700,000 tax dollars. These big guys, each maintenance cost is more than 100,000 tax coins, and they have to be maintained every two or three years, otherwise their combat effectiveness will be damaged. After so many years, the Luman Kingdom has spent an unknown amount of money on them.

Now, it's all gone.

And of the four hundred knights who drove the Sentinel Mecha, no more than fifty of them were withdrawn.

In terms of the political ecology of the Luhmann Kingdom, those knights were the middle rulers of the country; The Titans are high-level rulers.

After the net is wiped out, not only is the military power lost, but the political ecology of the kingdom is also destroyed.

In this sense, even if the alliance suddenly became kind, stopped it, withdrew its troops and left, and did not even pay a dime in compensation, it is very likely that the Kingdom of Luhmann will cease to exist.

The other six nations on the Black Arrow Star would not let go of such a weak Luman; The remaining two marquises, whose strength has not been damaged much, may not have any ideas.

Moreover, it is obvious that Gu Hang will not be so kind.

Soldiers are coming to the city.

The regrouped coalition forces besieged the city of Pinsel.
