Chapter 183 The Correct Posture for Selling Teammates
Royal Army, War Airship No. 72.

Ingril, the commander of the [-]st Airborne Division, leaned over the window of the airship, breathing out smoke irritably.

More than a month ago, he was one of the most influential and powerful generals in the Kingdom's First Army. The First Airborne Division in his hands has the most resources in the entire army and is the elite of the elite.

But half a month ago, he was defeated.

In the first battle of Kareni, he lost 80.00% of his troops, and even he almost died in the enemy.

Back in Gazili City, he was completely reduced to the laughing stock of the whole army.

Even the commander-in-chief of the group army clearly told him that the first airborne division would not be reorganized, so he was reduced from a powerful general to a division commander who was not even as good as a brigade-level officer.

An ordinary army of 2600 troops, a mage squadron, a professional brigade, and a war airship were all that Ingril had left, and he was completely kicked out of the game circle of harvesting military exploits.

The other generals are plundering and enjoying the victory.

Only him, and only him, not only has no merit, but has done. He even doubts that he will be prosecuted to a military court after the war.This feeling of falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley made him, a general who was in the rising period of his career, almost cry.

The most unbearable thing for him is.

Yesterday he received an order from his superiors to occupy and plunder a medium-sized city.

Thinking that he is a general, and he is actually asked to perform this kind of mission as a regimental and deputy brigade officer?
This clearly means telling him that I won't take you with me for fun, and find you any city to watch us reap military exploits.

boom!
Ingril slammed his fist on the window angrily.

"Damn, damn, it's all that brat's fault!"

Ingril recalled the last scene of the escape from Kareni—

A young boy wearing the uniform of the Imperial Army and holding the flag of the Imperial Red Eagle on a black background, stood on a high tower, like a supreme emperor wielding millions of soldiers, completely destroying his last hope.

It was only then that English finally understood.

It really wasn't Foster who defeated him, but the child about 12 years old, and only a child like this could think of such a shameless and obscene tactic.

But from an objective point of view.

He still admires this boy officer, because he is not an officer, he has the ability to reverse the situation of a battle and pull up an army of millions at any time. If he switches camps, Ingril believes that his chance of turning defeat into victory is no more than [-]%. one.

"Report, the airship is still 400 meters away from the ground."

The adjutant's voice interrupted his thoughts, and Ingril waved his hand and said, "Let the mages clean up the site, and start the landing operations as planned."

boom boom-

A few flames fell, and a large open space was immediately cleared in the forest, and the war airship began to land slowly.

This is the conventional combat method of the airborne forces of various countries.

The airborne troops will land in advance at a moderate distance from the target city, and then the war airship will take off again to carry out the first round of bombing on important buildings such as the city gates, government buildings, law enforcement headquarters, barracks, bridges, etc. of the target city.

The bombing is over.

The ground troops took advantage of the situation to attack the city, and under the cover of the war airship, wiped out all rebels.

Including the last capture of the city of Kaleni, this method of combat was also adopted.

Generally speaking, a war airship would never carry airborne troops to a city and land again, because a war airship is enough to accommodate a reinforced regiment, if it is shot down by the enemy's air force in the middle of the first round of bombing, the consequences will be disastrous.

----

When the airship reaches a height of 400 meters.

Vega suddenly realized that the Royal Army was conducting a landing operation.

Later, several flame explosions used to clear the landing site, as well as the war airship that continued to descend, had already convinced Vega that the enemy was not coming for them, and they hadn't even found them.

Since it is a landing operation, what is the target city?
Veigar hurriedly unloaded his backpack, rummaged through it, and took out a detailed map of the northern military.

"Little Brother Veigar?"

Fogg glanced at the strange Vega and said, "Did you find something? This war airship doesn't seem to be coming towards us. We just need to pay attention to concealment. Is it possible to avoid them..."

"impossible!"

Vega drew a circle at the current location with a red marker, then pointed to the nearest city and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Royal Army wants to attack this city of Rankel."

"Doesn't this mean that we will definitely bump into the troops of the Royal Army?" Fogg's face was full of despair.

Although the traveling route of the caravan does not need to pass through the city of Rankel, it must continue to the fork road to the east 20 kilometers ahead. If the Royal Army wants to attack Lan Kecheng, it must march to the fork road to the north 10 kilometers ahead. .

Naturally, the marching speed of the Kingdom Army was not comparable to that of a caravan.

In other words, the 10 kilometers in the middle will inevitably be overtaken by the Royal Army.

Continue to hide and let the Royal Army take the lead?
This is simply unrealistic. The war airship itself is equivalent to a radar. Any movement on the ground can be detected by the wind magician and the magician on the airship, not to mention the enemy and scouts...

In other words.

Escaping is a dead end, and continuing to hide is also a dead end.

Then there is only war!
Vega turned his head and said to everyone: "Everyone heard it, I think the current situation is very clear. It is unrealistic to run away or sit and wait for death. We can't be faster than the kingdom's war airship, so please embrace the death. Determined to fight to the death."

"How, how is this."

"Okay, won't you die?"

"Is it really impossible to escape?"

The faces of about 100 people in the entire caravan were full of sadness.

And Fokker also stood up under Vega's secret signal, and immediately stood up and said: "Cheer up to me, flee to die, fight to die, I don't need to say more about how to choose. I declare in advance that if anyone escapes alone , don’t blame me for letting him go first.”

Everyone in the caravan barely cheered up.

Anyway, both ends are dead, and it is better to die during the battle than to die in the hands of the butler Fogg.

That is to say, but this group of people did not have the slightest morale, because they were not soldiers after all, and they did not have the slightest awareness of death at all. It is thankful that they did not flee in all directions.

After some real performances, Veigar finally got everyone to fight.

And he also took advantage of this time to secretly say to Fogg: "Butler Fogg, don't you know that the previous transaction still counts?"

Falk's eyes lit up, and he replied almost immediately: "Of course it counts."

Although Vega didn't think that he could escape under the kingdom's war airship with Qi Lisi, but with Fokker, an elemental mage, and a hundred or so people attracting firepower, there might be 0.1% of them who escaped. What about the odds?

As long as there is this 0.1% chance of surviving, you can give it a go.

After all, it's better to bet on the 0.1% chance of escape than to sit and wait for death, right?

Veigar picked up the binoculars to observe the Kingdom Army again.

It is not enough for the caravan members to be willing to die. Now it is necessary to formulate a time-delaying battle plan. Even if they sell their teammates, they must be well "packaged" so that they can be sold at a high price.

But at this moment.

Through the binoculars, Veigar saw a man he knew all too well leading troops out of the airship hatch.

Although he doesn't know his name, Vega can be sure that that person is the combat commander who successfully broke out of the encirclement under the protection of the kingdom's mage squadron in the last battle of Kareni.

At this moment, Veigar thought about it.
