Chapter 103: Rush
"Lieutenant General...... I'm afraid the situation on the side of the peripheral forces is not very optimistic. β
"What's wrong?" Lieutenant General Craig asked, frowning.
"They met with stubborn resistance from the noble army...... It seems that they are prepared and know that we will attack. But unexpectedly, the resistance of the fortress of Orolos was very weak. β
"Hmph...... It's the whole show. Lieutenant General Craig sighed, "In the eyes of the noble army, the focus of defense in their eyes is different from what we think. If I'm not mistaken, their commander would have preferred that we would not rush into the attack, but rather prioritize the territory we had just recaptured in battle, from the Garelian Fortress to the Ssangyong Bridge. If it weren't for the lack of information, their judgment would be correct...... "It was precisely because of the definite news that the Duke of El Barea had been abandoned by the noble alliance, and it was impossible for Kruchen to receive support from other noble forces in a short period of time, that Lieutenant General Craig was able to relax and formulate the entire battle policy and plan.
Because of this, the soldiers of the fortress of Orolos were at a loss, and they couldn't believe that they would be attacked on such a large scale; And the defense points and passes in various places, which were originally regarded as the key points of defense in the aristocratic coalition army, were naturally prepared for battle. Coupled with the fact that the ultimate goal of the regular army is, of course, to pull out the thorn in the side of the fortress of Orolos, the troops elsewhere can only be regarded as covering and auxiliary attacks, so the proportion of the main force and elite in those scattered troops is even smaller. Under the trade-off, such a situation will naturally arise, or to put it another way, the current situation is completely in the hands of Lieutenant General Craig.
Jusses and Heliga devised a way to cleverly imprison Duke Elbare in the Duke's Pavilion, and through their conversation, Jusis learned that the Supreme Commander after his father "fell ill" did not know the consequences of his father's attack on Keldick, and the chain reaction within the Noble Alliance. Therefore, Lieutenant General Craig was able to take advantage of this request for reports and lead the Confederate army by a clever surprise.
It can be said that without any of these links, it would not have been possible to have such a good situation and result - especially now, the western defense of the fortress of Ololos has completely collapsed, and several heavy artillery pieces on the thick city walls have been suppressed by the combined fire of several tank detachments; At the same time, there was news of superiority on both the Eastern and Northern Fronts, and it was already possible to try to force infantry penetration into them.
"Hmm...... Send them a message, and don't let them get too entangled with the scattered noble alliances. Lieutenant General Craig pondered for a moment, and then gave the order, "Let them continue to hold them down as much as possible in a roundabout manner, on the premise of preserving their own combat strength and strengthβand stand by towards our general attack site." Also, what happened to the resistance on the southern front? β
"It seems to be because of their commander...... The soldiers of the aristocratic coalition in the south seem to be stronger than in other places. From what they had seen from the front, it seemed that they were trying to break through the blockade of our forces outside the fortress of Ololos and enter the canyon - I don't know what they were going to do. β
"He really got it right...... Pass the Canyon Road...... The forests and heights on either side are completely unfavorable to the deployment and maintenance of mechs, and there are no large-scale supply sites around as far as I know. Therefore, their aim is likely to be to cross the borders of the Republic through the Canyon Road, and then find a way to communicate with the noble coalition. β
"The Republic?" Craig's deputy was taken aback, "It's ......"
"The Noble Coalition and the Republic's fellows have reached an agreement on military access to their territory if necessary...... The price is the ownership of part of the iron ore at the Zexton Iron Ore Mine. Craig, who mentioned this, was also very depressed, "These damn traitors......"
"Yes...... He didn't hesitate to do it to this extent......" The adjutant on the side naturally understood that his immediate boss could not be groundless, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"yes...... Will anyone believe such a person who does not hesitate to sell the interests of the country for his own interests, saying that he is for the good of the future of the empire? General Craig sneered, "Alright...... At least in the light of the current situation, this choice cannot be said to be wrong. Proceed as originally planned, and allow the 1st, 2nd, and 5th Special Operations Groups to enter the theater of operations and carry out sweeping and interception operations...... At the same time, inform His Highness Elphin and Duke Jussis of His Excellency's side, and their actions can begin. β

"Hmm...... No one. Their main forces went to the Western Front. Feeling the feedback of the detection spell returning to his hands, Heliga said with a wry smile, "It seems that no one including the hunting regiment is here. β
"Is the empire's strongest Fourth Mecha Division...... It looks like he's even more brave than rumored. Levy gave a faint compliment, "Our goal on our side has almost been achieved." β
"Hmm...... Then all that's left is the device in the deepest part of the fortress. Heliga shook the crystal sword in his hand, "Do you still want to find its switch?" β
"Forget it...... The one in the deepest part of the fortress should be much more complicated than the ones outside. Levi shook his head, "It should be difficult to find a specific location at night...... And, I suppose, I can't get around where the two of them are. β
"In that case...... That's the decisive battle in advance. Heliga noddedβhe and Levi had planned to avoid the patrolling soldiers and reduce the risk by pulling out the anti-aircraft guns in the fortress as early as possibleβbut in reality, they didn't encounter much of an obstacle at all, as the soldiers were drawn to the front line to resist the 4th Mecha Division's collective combat and onslaught.
The two of them circled the fortress, easily dismantling or destroying several anti-aircraft guns, and then appeared in front of the building in the center of the fortress - where the command room of the Duke of Elbare was theoretically located, and where the entire fortress was most heavily guarded. Of course, the Duke of Elbariana was not here at this time, but instead, there was an enemy who was much stronger than His Excellency the Duke, who was strong on the outside.
The strongest "executor" of the association - and Du Barry, who is obviously very strong, but can be almost ignored under this level of confrontation.
"How much force do you think he will use in a moment?" Haliga asked Levy.
"I don't know...... But in any case, you should be able to handle his second form. From what I know of him, it seems that he will not appear in the third form...... After all, he himself said that such an act would lead to serious consequences. β
"Point to point...... That's probably how it feels. Heliga was reckless.
