In the southern part of the empire, Ludis is located at the headquarters of the rebel army, which is also the marshal's palace appointed by the "New Duma" in the sky.

In this room, all the lights became brighter with the sudden movement of the concept field on the hero unit here.

Ludis put down the tall glass: "What did you say?"

He looked at the person on the interface in disbelief.

Enma said leisurely: "The imperial general Henry has been annihilated by our army. He committed suicide in front of me, and his guards were also captured by me. Next is Minlar. You will know the latest news almost tonight.

"

In order to prevent him from believing it, Enma showed the scene of Henry's final defeat. On the dilapidated steel mobile fortress, Henry, a veteran of the empire, was exhausted under the siege and turned into fireworks that spontaneously ignited.

Ludis stared at the "comrade" in the concept communication, and his tone was a bit complicated: "I can't believe you." (He didn't want to believe it. If what Enma said was true, it meant that Iron Star had become a member of the empire.

The strongest rebel army)

Enma: "Oh, I understand. But when you confirm it, can we start a new project immediately?"

Ludis: "Are you also going to participate in the (reformist) negotiations between us and the Empire?" - In his opinion, this war between Enma and Enma is enough to force the Empire to make major concessions.

Enma waved his hand: "It's still early to negotiate with the empire, Ludis, let's talk about new cooperation projects first."

Enma unfolded the map and marked the location of the Princess Guards who came out of the Imperial Capital at this time, and now marked a point where they could teleport. This location was just in front of the Princess Guards' path, which seemed to be the path of robbery.

Master Wei revealed the name of this big project: "Kidnapping the Princess."

Ludis narrowed his eyes and stared at Enma's eyes to confirm his old friend's intentions.

Enma looked at him and sighed: "In today's situation, you always stand still. This is wrong." The meaning is very simple, even if you make a feint to contain the empire, we are still teammates in the trenches.

Ludis walked around twice, looked at the map, and nodded: "This cooperation will be led by me."

Enma smiled and nodded: "That's natural."

...On this day, Enma shook the ladder of destiny and tied the red thread that he tried to tie to himself, the "black thread" of his old enemy...

The princess was left to others to kidnap, while she mobilized her own forces to continue besieging the main army of the empire.

At night on September 9, Minlar ejected half of his body from the "submarine hatch" of the heavy vehicle. His eyes were dull as he looked at the dust rising around him.

He had just escaped from the encirclement a few hours ago, and now he was trapped in another encirclement. In the sky was the Iron Star Alliance airship, and in front of him were the "Energy Destroyer" tanks intercepted head-on. There were obviously just a few of these tanks.

The unit that intercepted him at Blue Birch Bay a few hours ago suddenly appeared directly in front of him.

After the adjutant turned on the identification system and determined the vehicle body numbers, he collapsed on the spot and said: "No way, they are clearly in the rear."

When the pursuers suddenly and strategically appeared in front, the imperial army that had escaped collapsed collapsed. I felt that this was completely unrealistic.

Of course, Minlar thought of something. He put his mind into the etheric realm to observe the "enemy's movements" in the distance.

Four minutes later, after the "turtle in the urn" imperial general identified the circular space ripples spreading out in front of the etheric realm, he murmured: "Group teleportation."

Among all super skills, the ones that can be called strategically significant, except for "Holy Restoration", are "Group Teleportation".

This skill officially explains that there are general-level heroes among the rebels in the empire.

However, the clusters of artillery did not give Minlar time to think. He could only drive his armored forces towards the basalt rock platform four kilometers away.

…The shining red star, like a deadly dart, quietly chased the embarrassed Imperial Griffin,…

At 11:23 at night, the Iron Star Rebel Army successfully surrounded the remnants of Minlar at the Bubble Platform, which is a high rock platform of an extinct volcano.

At the same time, Minlar, who was encircled, was already in a state of panic, because he had sensed General Henry's "falling stars" in the etheric realm.

The Iron Star is like a wave, besieging the "isolated island" where Minlar's remaining army is located.

In wars, Iron Star often gives priority to various highlands, but only this highland is allowed to be retreated by Minlar. This is because this highland has a fatal problem for the defenders, that is, lack of water!

This is a big pitfall for young generals who "grab every opportunity". Ma Di suffered this loss. Talking about war on paper means dispatching troops based on the map. On-the-spot reconnaissance is very important. The empire's heavy mechanized troops are nuclear-powered, maybe

It can be used without oil, and the food it carries can last for a long time, but if it only has water, it will be fatal.

Enma was sure that Minlar was forced onto the bubble platform and immediately deployed the backup map.

Enma dug a super anti-tank trench around it. The militia organization of the Farmers' and Rural Associations arrived with an excavator and dug a large trench with a standard width of 30 meters and a depth of five meters.

After digging, let Iron Star's second-line troops be stationed here and prepare a large amount of wire-pull anti-tank firepower. That is, a 500-kilogram remote-controlled mine. This big hole has been prepared for the empire in advance.

This is preparation for a long siege.

As for outside the encirclement, Iron Star maintains a large and heavily armed group. This strategic deployment posture is to "strike reinforcements."

The closest heavy military groups in the empire to this place are the Sugamat Group in York City and the Losey Group in Punk City.

... Enma is counting the time for the activation of the Anglo troops in the north, and even wants to send reinforcements. In addition, he is planning to go to the south to do something...

After being held back by other so-called "party members" in Swan City.

Enma's inner impression of the reformists in the Southern Liberation Zone: They have never been considered a qualified ally. They always think that they are smart, take the position of flag bearer themselves, and make self-righteous "arrangements" for other teammates in their own expediency.

.

Enma: "However, the ability of these people to engage in politics and build momentum cannot be ignored. We may not be able to cooperate strategically with them, but our influence cannot be ignored."

Enma decided to arrange something for them in advance to focus the political attention of the Southern Party members on the "Empire" instead of competing with Iron Star for the fruits of victory afterwards.

After Enma completed the siege of the Minlar Group, he deployed an electromagnetic teleportation array and began to teleport towards the Ludis troops in the south. This was "single penetration", and the teleportation was carried out with a single vehicle connected to it. The energy consumption was much smaller.

And the arcane distance is also much smaller.

This time, two days after traveling south alone, I can teleport back for the second time. Of course, even if the car breaks down, Enma can ensure that his people can make it back.

All in all, the "Kidnapping Princess" project allows the Southern Party to temporarily maintain a united front with the Northern Iron Star against the Empire.

In the early morning of September 10th,

In the center of Ludis' armored force, as the blue light flashed, a heavy armored vehicle appeared in the spherical dome,

Half an hour later, Enma jumped out of the car and met Ludis.

Ludis' eyes were complicated, but he still smiled and congratulated Enma.

Just as Enma was carrying out a series of operations in the north, including annihilation, pursuit, and encirclement, the empire had been turned upside down. The day before, he was still laughing at the mud-legged people in the north who were making their final struggle, and then came the news, Imperial General Henry

News of the star falling into Blue Birch Bay.

There is no doubt that this is a super victory for the revolutionaries in the current decline. The reformists who were originally weak at the negotiation table suddenly have the confidence to speak loudly again.

Ludis brought Enma into the combat command room and began to implement the combat plan of "Intercepting the Princess".

Just when Ludis and Enma were discussing, an adjutant beside Ludis was thoughtful. But then he passed the small note to an orderly and asked him to take it out.

Enma looked at the departing adjutant,

Ludis reminded: "Now these are all my people."

Enma nodded in understanding.

Ludis is surrounded by informants from the southern moderates.

When Ludis used force to force the southern bureaucrats to stand against the empire, he just dragged these people into the water. As for after the water, this group of people secretly formed a group and tried to rebel, but Ludis could not control it.

of.

Ludis is not a king, and there is no new authority to impose forced orders on the various forces in his reform zone.

…Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Enma doesn’t want to speak out, and Ludis can’t be a dictator now…

Half an hour later, in Yujing Port, a commercial and trading city, the group of reformists held a hasty meeting.

Crystal wine glasses, ice cubes and fine wine clinking, these old people who have just adapted to how to "lead reform" began to comment on the advanced situation.

Regarding the catastrophic changes in the situation in the north and south of the empire at this time, these reformists felt that they had a stage to show off their magical powers.

After repeated negotiations between various giants in the scattered Sky Duma meeting, the leader of the reformist faction believed that Ludis's current action was necessary. The leader of the faction said: "If we invite Princess Sherry to our Feather Whale Port

, then the empire will no longer be able to rebuke us for betrayal."

These reformists also urgently need bargaining chips to negotiate with the empire, so they support Ludis' current actions.

Because they have no control over this matter, they can only participate through "support" and show that they have leverage when negotiating with the empire.

Wei Keng commented: This is an old trick of political thugs and white wolves.

Just as Enma and Ludis went to intercept the princess, the reformist envoy who was conducting a new round of negotiations in the imperial capital began a new round of operations.

Guleri, a member of the reformist party, and the imperial aristocratic friends with "good personal relations" in the imperial capital revealed a major piece of news, that is: "The Northern Iron Star Army besieged Minlar, but the Iron Star general was not there.

The North is already holding talks with Ludis in the South."

...Afterwards, Enma complained: "Being a teammate with you guys makes me so angry"...

This group of reformists from Yujing Port didn't reveal any information about going to rob the princess, but they sold out all the rebels in the north. This is why Mr. Wei didn't dare to go with them.

In the imperial capital, the regent immediately issued an order after receiving the intelligence from the frontier, telegraphing the Sugmat Group in York City to rush to the rescue immediately!

The reason why the regent acted like this was that he had to make up for the strategic mistakes in the early stage.

The loss of a general during the suppression of the Northern Mudleg rebels was a bolt from the blue for the empire, but if he lost another general one after another, he would not be able to bear it no matter what.

Even if Enma did not leave the battle line, the imperial capital confirmed that Minlar was still holding on, hoping to "turn the tables".

The regent is now looking forward to joining forces with the two imperial armies in the north, breaking through the encirclement while attacking from both sides, and inflicting heavy losses on the northern rebel army.
To be continued...
