Chapter 158 Recommended quota
When I woke up, the war was over.

Veigar walked out of the room, and the underground air-raid shelter was no longer deserted as before. The large troops participating in the battle had returned to the underground air-raid shelter, but the wailing, crying, and cursing... could be heard endlessly.

Although the empire won this battle, it was only a miserable victory.

Because the enemy is the backbone of the army after all, while the own side is the cannon fodder army, when it comes to fighting, it is natural to judge whether it is superior or inferior.

Simply because the magic support of the imperial army was obviously superior, so relying on the powerful magic support, the disadvantage was turned into an advantage. Less than 1 of the 3500 people of the imperial army successfully retreated.

Of course, the Imperial Army is also quite different.

Since it was originally a cannon fodder unit, the combat experience has been insufficient, so the number of people in this battle has dropped to about 3000.

Most importantly, the magician troops and professional troops suffered heavy losses.

The Shadow Mage Squadron lost 90.00% of its personnel, and the death rate of the other squads also reached 70.00%. Only the Elite Mage Guards truly achieved zero casualties.

therefore.

Kareni's third army still retains only 3000 ordinary troops, about 40 magicians, and about 150 professionals, which is roughly equivalent to the size of two standard regiments.

But the Royal Army is different.

The most killed in this battle was the law enforcement team of the Bruno Law Enforcement Administration. Except for the heavy losses of the magician troops, the main force of the Kingdom's airborne divisions had almost no casualties. Wan's forces launched an attack on the Imperial Army.

The overall situation has not been alleviated.

The next step is to see how Foster uses the geographical advantage to deal with the second attack of the Kingdom Army, and even launch a counterattack.

While thinking, Veigar walked towards the cafeteria.

Strenuously standing on tiptoe, Veigar took the dinner plate and walked towards the corner seat. The living reserves in this underground air-raid shelter are quite sufficient, probably enough for a division to last for a month and a half.

"Vegar, second lieutenant?"

An abrupt voice sounded, and it was Vega's old acquaintance Gunther Burton who came.

With plaster on his left hand and a bandage on his head, he sat across from Vega with a dinner plate in his right hand: "I heard that you are back, it's a pity that I haven't had a chance to meet you, anyway, you are still mine in name subordinate."

"The battle is urgent, please forgive me sir."

Veigar put down the knife and fork: "Master Ganser, what is your outfit like?"

"Ugh."

He sighed deeply: "I was not injured under the bombing of the magic airship, and I was not injured when I broke out of the central area. I didn't expect to be swept away by the flame explosion for several meters in this battle, and almost a woohoo."

"The Brigadier takes the lead and is worthy of respect." Vega smiled and complimented.

Ganser lit a cigarette irritably: "Military orders must not be violated. Although I still have the title of brigade commander, in fact, all my troops have been exhausted, whether it is a professional brigade or a mage squad. Even ordinary troops..."

"Could it be that our brigade is in this battle?"

Ganser's face twitched, and then he replied: "That's right, the A91 Brigade is the vanguard in this battle. To put it mildly, it's the vanguard. To put it bluntly, it's just cannon fodder to absorb the enemy's magic output. But the commander-in-chief The officer ordered us to do this, how can I, a little brigade commander, resist. This is also good, and we don’t have to worry about it when the troops are wiped out... Cough cough!"

Without continuing to complain, Ganser quickly coughed twice, because he noticed that a person had come not far behind him.

The officer in military uniform with the rank of major said in a dry voice: "Commander Ganser, all of this is for the victory of the empire, you should take a long-term view instead of thinking about it all the time like a little nobleman." Personal gains and losses."

"Major Harman is absolutely right."

Ganser laughed and said, "As the adjutant of the Commander-in-Chief, why do you have time to talk to me, a general without soldiers, in such a busy schedule? Or is it that the Commander-in-Chief has a new order, even though my troops have already Light up, but if the empire needs my life, I can still contribute it at any time."

"Hmph, Brigadier Ganser, don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for you on this trip."

Adjutant Harman said to Vega, "Second Lieutenant Vega, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, please."

Veigar put down the knife and fork, apologized to Gunther, and followed the adjutant to the commander's office.

creak-

The door opened, and Veigar entered alone.

Seeing Foster leaning on the seat alone with his eyes closed, Vega whispered, "Master Commander, are you looking for me?"

Hearing Veigar's voice, Foster opened his eyes slightly: "It's just some trivial things, it's about your military reward this time."

"I don't dare to take the credit, it's just my job." Vega said modestly.

Foster waved his hand: "If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you are delinquent, you will be punished. With the military achievements you have accumulated so far, Second Lieutenant Vega, it is not a big problem to be promoted to the regimental rank, but you also know that you want to be a middle-level officer in the army. , you need to go to a military academy for further study for 1-3 years, judging from the current situation, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve it for a while."

Veigar didn't speak, just quietly waiting for Foster's next words.

Foster frowned slightly: "I don't think it's better to be like this. First, you will be promoted to captain and serve as the battalion commander of the reorganized 5th Battalion. After this war is over, you will be sent to the Great Northwest." Jun... I will personally recommend you to go to the Central Military Academy."

"Thank you, Commander."

Naturally, Veigar was not dissatisfied with this answer. Under such circumstances, being able to serve as an officer with real power is already a great face for Veigar, not to mention the number of places recommended by the Central Military Academy.

The Central Military Academy is known as the cradle of imperial generals.

As long as he achieved excellent grades in the military academy, he would be able to enter the field of vision of the Imperial Army. Coupled with his honor of the Wings of the Empire and the surname of Kareni, it was almost equivalent to being recommended to a general.

Even after graduating from the Central Military Academy, those with the best grades started as deputy brigade officers.

Vega is not dissatisfied with this result.

But these are just empty promises in the final analysis, because whether this war can be won is still a matter of opinion. If Foster dies in this war, then he does not know who he should ask to cash it. After all, the emperor and the courtiers.

Since everyone is prosperous and everyone is damaged, Vega looked at Foster with uncertain eyes.

He gritted his teeth and paused for a few seconds before finally saying: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, do you have a plan to regain Kareni? I dare you, I have an immature tactic I want to share with you. The tactic is called ' Guerrilla'."
