Chapter 532 Crossbell in the chaos of war
Although Ryan did not come to the front line in person, benefiting from the developed communication technology after the guidance revolution, Tanggulam Hill's real-time war report was submitted to his desk as soon as possible.
This massive offensive suddenly launched by the Republic soon spread from Closebell to major cities in Herrebonia.
The people of the imperial capital Heimdal first started a heated discussion after hearing this news.
It was less than a month since the capture of Klosbel, who had attacked Garelia Fortress out of order before the Civil War. Before the new governor arrived, Calvad responded quickly, which made many people in the imperial world feel angry.
The hatred between Ereponia and Kalwad can continue to the dark age hundreds of years ago.
When Kalwade broke out in large-scale civil strife due to democratic reform a hundred years ago, Erebonia did not miss this opportunity. He took the opportunity to add a fire to the chaotic Kalwade and quickly occupied the land of Kalwade.
However…Kalwad completed the reforms in the midst of turmoil and quickly became stronger.
With the support of the large consortium, they boldly carried out military reforms and defeated Erebonia, who occupied the land at that time in the subsequent battle for Crossbel.
Kalwade's control of Closebell during the Republic period continued until the establishment of the Autonomous Prefecture. The defeat was regarded as a shame by many imperialists, and he always wanted to find the place back from Kalwade.
This time, winning Closebell before Calvad is actually a very satisfying thing in the hearts of most imperial people.
However, people with insight can guess that Kalwad's revenge attack will definitely come, but no one expected that the response would come so quickly and so fiercely.
Many people have called for the difference between regular troops and territorial troops in such a state of crisis, and should send additional troops to support the Crossbel border.
Most of the people of the Empire were not aware of it. In terms of military strength, the elite troops stationed in the garrison were not behind. In the army, the Imperial Army, which was mixed with the No. 18 and the mecha soldiers, had the advantage, and defeated Karwad's high-mobile tank.
The biggest gap in the Tanggulam hill battlefield today is... the Air Force, which the Empire has not attracted much attention.
When Clow and Rein arrived one after another, what they saw was the overwhelming Republic gunboat.
"Hey! It's not a joke, this number is too exaggerated!"
While manipulating the Cang Knight God to quickly shoot down Kalwad's armed gunboat in the air, Crow complained about the first time hesitant to enter the front battlefield through a dedicated channel.
"Rien! Now is not the time to make you indecisive. This is a war between the two countries. It is not a civil war that your own people will beat your own people!"
"If there are too many airships breaking through the border, the residents of Closbell may be subject to retaliatory attacks from the airships, and speed up the shooting down them!"
"Huh~ I understand."
...
On the 38th floor of the Orchid Tower, Speaker McDowell and all the members of the parliament temporarily stopped their work and stood by the window and looked down at the battle of the Dongulam hills in the distance from a high place.
"This... seems to be bad!"
Campbell, a member of the Republic's MP, said nervously, "Sure enough, it is the wrong choice for us to surrender to the empire. We should go to Kalwald..."
"Shut up! Stop discussing this topic!"
Speaker McDowell frowned and interrupted Campbell's rash words. He knew that the Republic's MP did not have any malice, and that most of the things he did were for the sake of Kezhou, but he was a little too greedy for rights.
"No matter which country we join, we should have been prepared to be attacked retaliatory by the other party."
Speaker McDowell pestled with a cane and scolded sternly, "Even if he defected to the Republic, do you think Erebonia would not launch the same retaliatory attack?"
Seeing these silent members of the parliament, the old speaker sighed deeply, and he was really tired.
One and two political stars who were originally optimistic about were sent to prison because they were too hasty, and none of the remaining members of the parliament could take the lead.
But at this time, revenge between Ereponia and Kalwade came one after another.
First, the Empire strongly occupied Crossbelt on the grounds that the Garelia Fortress was destroyed, and incorporated the autonomous state into the imperial territory, turning it into Erebonia and Crossbelt state.
Before the people could recover from the sudden change of their rules and regulations and join the empire, the revenge of the Republic came immediately.
‘Oh ~’
Speaker McDowell shook his head sadly, looking at the chaotic battle situation in the Dongulam hills, thinking with emotion, "Maybe I am really old and can't keep up with the times, Ellie... I can only place my hope on you."
...
The war and shelling sounds from the direction of the Tanggulam hills made the people in the city of Kezhou hide at home and dare not go out.
Some people saw the numerous airships in the sky, worried that Erebonia would not be able to stop the Republic's air force attack and let the airships fly into the city.
These people started packing their luggage early and were preparing to temporarily hide in Almolika Village far away from the Western Front battlefield, including the Croverde family where Yuna is located.
In order to allow the child to evacuate first, Yuna's parents arranged for an familiar driver to drive a transport guide truck. They first transported Yuna, Jian and Nana's three children to Almolika Village. The second batch of two parents evacuated from the city.
This is the time when the air battlefield is under the greatest pressure. If you can understand the battlefield situation, hiding at home and not going out is the right choice.
When Yuna took two crying brothers and sisters on board the motorway and drove towards the village of Almolika, a gunboat from the Republic happened to break through the front line.
The airship, which was eccentric with black smoke, flew towards the northeastern direction away from the battlefield.
When I saw the guided transport vehicle on the ground, I had already entered the crash and was hysterical and emotional. The crew of the airship actually launched a shelling attack on the civilian vehicle.
The God of Gray, who happened to chase after him, hurriedly stopped him loudly and said, "Stop! That's a civilian vehicle, what do you want to do!"
A crew member with a crazy expression facing the threat of death operated a machine cannon to continue shelling the transport vehicle on the ground and trying to avoid it. "Hahahaha! Go and die, obey the lackeys of the empire!"
"Stop!"
Unbearable, Li En finally cut off the propeller on the left side of the airship with a knife. The small airship fell from the front of the God of Gray, and soon fell into the range of the ancient battlefield and crashed violently.
"I...I killed someone?"
Lien looked at his hands tremblingly in the cockpit. The attack in a hurry just now made him kill a crew member of the Republic ship. He didn't react in horror until the airship crashed.
The Cang Knight God driven by Crow flew to Lien when he was ecstatic, "Lien! Why are you stunned? It is their duty to die in the battlefield by soldiers. If you don't want more innocent civilians to die in the war, cheer me up a little!"
"Our mission is to prevent similar things from happening, block the gaps on the front line, and don't be sentimental on the battlefield. That's something that should be calmed down after the war!"
"I see……"
Under Yuna's gaze, two huge human-shaped puppets turned their direction again and flew towards the direction of the Tanggulam Gate. Her younger brother and sister protected by her were looking at the two human-shaped puppets in Feiyuan with their eyes glowing.
"So...so handsome!"
"Has Nana been saved by the giant knight?"
After escaped from the crisis, Yuna felt exhausted all over her body. She lay down beside the road regardless of the dust on the ground.
Chapter completed!
