In May of the 6th year of Elanthir, the northern legions of the puppet empire who were surrounded by Dorai were in mourning. They abandoned the capital of the Eternal Empire, Calanmix, but still could not return to their homeland smoothly.
Although they are now separated from their own country by only an inland sea, the reason why this huge freshwater lake is called a sea is because this lake is so huge that it is unimaginable.
Originally, General Gusen hoped that relying on Dorai, he could successfully mobilize ships to transport troops and return to the puppet empire.
But what he never expected was that the northeastern region of the puppet empire collapsed so quickly that it no longer had any energy to care about the life and death of Dole's northern regiment.
The entire northeastern region of the puppet empire was almost burned down in a few days - the fire not only destroyed the forest, but also destroyed the supply points that the puppet empire relied on for survival, paralyzed the mobile city, and collapsed the empire's economy.
Then, the destructive attack on resources caused the production of the puppet empire to collapse. Now even Grand Magister Travish is helpless to deal with the collapse of the puppet empire, let alone spare the efforts to rescue the northern port in the northern part of the Central Inland Sea.
Corps.
Gusen was desperate now. He became even more desperate when he learned that the fleet stationed in the Central Inland Sea had been bombed by Airan Hill's bombers and was almost completely wiped out.
There are not enough ships, and even small sailing ships will be intercepted by patrolling Airan Hill fighter jets.
The dragon knights could only run away on their own and try their best to cross the Central Inland Sea with some losses - but after all, no matter how many dragon knights there were, they were only a minority, and the main force of the northern regiment was still dominated by ground troops.
The high-level magicians can also fly away despite the losses, but are the remaining troops really not needed? Just abandon them in Dorai and let these hundreds of thousands of people fend for themselves?
"Let's just surrender... We have fought for the country until now. It's Travesh who doesn't care about our life or death, so we can't blame him." A magician stood behind Gu Sen and suggested excitedly.
Gu Sen held his hands on the crenellations on the city wall in front of him and looked at his own defensive position submerged in a mist in the distance. He remained silent and did not speak. No one knew what he was thinking.
Along the way, he retreated here from Calanmix with his troops. He gave up too much, but he was able to preserve the northern regiment of the puppet empire to the maximum extent.
It seems that the army of one million puppets suffered heavy losses. Now, including the puppets, there are only less than 500,000 left. However, these 500,000 troops still retain a high combat effectiveness.
As the core of the army, Gu Sen, the high-level magician unit, has never been wasted. He has been holding the few high-level magicians left in the puppet empire to prevent them from colliding with the main force of Elan Hill.
Counting some human veterans who survived the first battle, this core force of 200,000 people has the strongest combat effectiveness among the puppet empires.
But now, this main force, which has been hidden by Gu Sen until now, has no way to go to the sky or the earth, and is about to be destroyed.
"If we surrender like this, wouldn't we be the sinners of the country?" Seeing that Gu Sen did not speak, another magician behind him took over and said coldly: "Our home has been destroyed, and we will not take revenge, and
The enemy fights to the end, but chooses to surrender in a despicable manner. This is the behavior of a coward!"
"Why are you a coward? If we had reinforcements, reinforcements, or even puppets to supplement them, I would not suggest surrendering! What now? We have nothing, what can we use to fight?" The magician who proposed to surrender was not willing to surrender.
Showing weakness, he immediately retorted.
These days, such debates have been going on. Some people hope to fight to the end, while others feel that we should assess the situation and choose to surrender.
The reasons for both sides sounded very reasonable, and it made people unable to make a decision for a while. That is to say, in such a general environment, Gu Sen was hesitant and didn't know what to do.
Just yesterday, a sailing transport ship called the River was sunk by an Il-2 attack aircraft less than 3 kilometers away from the port of Dole. This was the 136th ship sunk by the puppet empire in the past three days.
Transport ship.
This ship was loaded with more than 300 soldiers, which made Gu Sen feel distressed to this day. These soldiers are all veterans who have experienced battles. Each one of them is a precious treasure, a good thing that cannot be given up easily.
While these people were quarreling, Gu Sen was thinking about this matter. He was thinking about how to reduce losses and transport the troops who followed him and trusted him to the other side as soon as possible to get them out of danger.
"The message from the magic ball... Sir... our country... is now divided into two..." An officer ran over in a panic, and in the chaos of everyone arguing, he handed over a copy
The copied documents were handed to Gu Sen, and he began to report the report.
His voice was not loud, but it suddenly silenced the scene. Everyone looked at each other, and then realized that the puppet empire they were loyal to was now in big trouble.
"What a joke! How could Grand Magister Travish sit back and watch this happen?" A magician couldn't believe this fact and questioned: "This news must be false!"
"I don't know if it's true or not. That guy Travish doesn't have time to care about our life and death now. How can he care about those people who rebelled?" He grabbed the document and looked at the message on it. A magic
The teacher spoke.
The scene suddenly became chaotic. The countries they were fighting for before had now become two. The northern regiment led by Gu Sen now had a new problem: which puppet empire should they be loyal to?
"Gentlemen, be quiet!" Gu Sen looked at the mess of his subordinates and finally spoke: "Listen to me!"
After the scene completely quieted down, he continued to speak: "I decided to allow everyone to decide their own destiny."
"If the Dragon Knight is willing to cross the Central Inland Sea, he can immediately take off and return to the puppet empire after this order is issued... Of course, what you have to face is the interception of the Airan Hill fighter jets. Please consider this clearly." He said.
When he said this, he was looking at the commander of the dragon knight wearing armor.
"As for the dragon knights who are willing to stay, I will make arrangements together later!" After he finished speaking, he turned his attention to the senior magicians: "Senior magicians are the same as the dragon knights! If you are willing to leave, then you can
leave."
"For the remaining people who are willing to surrender, I will order them to lay down their weapons and surrender." When Gusen said this, he looked at the generals responsible for commanding the ground troops: "The order was given by me, the commander-in-chief. You
Your reputation will not be damaged."
"After that, if there are still people who are unwilling to leave or put down their weapons, I will sign the order and hand over my command. These people can legitimately continue to stay here and fight..." After he finished speaking, he showed a trace of helplessness.
With a wry smile: "Personally, I will choose to surrender."
This passage was what he had been thinking about recently. After seeing the power of Ailan Hill and understanding the weakness of the puppet empire, he felt that it was a stupid thing to sacrifice so many people in vain, so he
I have long considered surrendering.
What makes him hesitate and still not make up his mind is nothing more than the military's sense of honor and the motherland that he can't let go of.
But now that the motherland has fallen apart, his loyalty has become a joke. So he finally made up his mind and chose the path he had considered countless times.
"General! You...can't...can't do this!" Several magicians who were leading the battle were still a little unwilling and wanted to say something to persuade.
But they were soon drowned out by the voices of another group of people. The magicians and commanders who had long since wanted to fight were all praising General Gusen's wisdom. Only a few people lowered their heads and walked out.
After all, some people still chose to leave and return to their homeland of the Puppet Empire - even though this road was extremely dangerous, they still did not stay and follow Gusen to surrender to Elanthir.
Soon, on the lake in the Central Inland Sea, magicians and dragon knights flying south appeared densely, and then a spectacular aerial safari in Ireland began.
In three days, Eiland Hill had 30 more super ace pilots and more than 100 ace pilots - they shot down more than 1,090 dragon knights and killed more than 130 high-level magicians.
"Wow!" A soldier from the puppet empire threw the Mauser 98k rifle in his hand into the pile of rifles piled up like a hill. He put his head in his hands and walked towards the Airan Hill soldiers who were doing a body search.
Behind him, another soldier from the Puppet Empire also threw his weapon on the side of the road, his expression slightly depressed, and he followed his comrades nervously.
After receiving the order to surrender, they no longer had to be harassed by endless shelling or sleep in the cold trenches.
These soldiers who defeated the million-strong army of the Eternal Empire along the way and occupied the capital of the Eternal Empire, Kalamix, began to retreat and escape for no apparent reason. Finally, they were surrounded in Dole and surrendered...
Theoretically, none of them had experienced a decent defeat, and they just became prisoners of the enemy in a daze. However, many people breathed a sigh of relief, because becoming prisoners did not seem to be a bad thing for them.
On this day in May, after holding on for more than 20 days longer than the East Marching Corps, the last elite of the puppet empire was surrounded by Dole's Northern Corps. Under the leadership of commander General Gusen, they honorably advanced to the 2nd Army.
