Chapter 637 Strategic Implications
Narcisser city.

The 80 main force of Shenglong Kingdom regained this strategic point in the western section of the border.

Rather than spending great efforts to recapture the city of Naxisir, it is better to say that before they arrived, the enemy's 30 troops fled. By the time they arrived, Naxisir had become an empty city.

In other words.

They didn't even see the enemy's face, and the enemy disappeared into the Kareni Mountains again.

Although in general, Naxisir City was taken back.

But as the commander of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, Augustus couldn't be happy anyway, because all this seemed too easy, so easy that he began to doubt the authenticity of this matter.

Let's think about it.

If the enemy is the United Kingdom, then everything is very easy to explain.

Because when they were fighting against the United Kingdom, as long as those cowardly troops heard their names, they were likely to abandon the city and flee. They had encountered this kind of thing more than a dozen times, and it was not uncommon.

But this time is different.

Their enemy is Vega Saint Laurent.

One thing that is 100% certain is that the existence that cast them out of the psychological shadow, who is obviously short in stature but daunting like a giant, is absolutely impossible to be afraid of them, and it is even more impossible to stop them before fighting.

Augustus...

Smells of conspiracy.

But what annoyed Augustus was that even though he knew what the enemy was planning, he was unable to deduce even the slightest clue after exhausting his energy. This feeling of madness almost drove him crazy.

For three days Augustus had become paranoid.

He sent a large number of reconnaissance troops, but the news he got was that 30 invading troops had returned to the Jialan Empire...

incredible.

Did that kid suddenly realize that he didn't want to invade their country?

Are these months of preparation just to tease them?
Are there really such boring people in the world?

For these three questions, Augustus didn't even believe a single punctuation mark.

At this moment, a piece of news brought by the scout confirmed his inner guess——

Galicia fell.

When he heard the news, Augustus sat down on the chair, unable to recover for a long time.

Although he guessed that Vega might be carrying out some kind of secret operation, he never imagined that the city of Gacili, which he thought was the safest, would actually fall, and that kid was not in the extreme west at all, but in the extreme east.

"What the hell is going on!"

Augustus slapped the table, the anger in his chest almost burst out.

"Report, report to the leader of the legion..."

The soldier said tremblingly: "The enemy... the main force of the enemy has been hiding in the Gasilien High Ridge. The 30 troops that attacked Naxisir City earlier were the Jialan Army that the enemy used to attract our attention."

This piece of information is already rotten.

But it was not until three days after the fall of Gaxili City that Shenglong Kingdom received this information.

"Unexpectedly... right under our noses..."

Augustus held his head in pain, and kept repeating in his mouth: "Your Majesty, this battle is not my fault. It is because our intelligence system failed to bring me such important news."

If he had known earlier that it was the Jialan Army and not the Dynasty Army that occupied Naxisir City, would he have made such a mistake?
Absolutely not.

It's a pity that Shenglong Kingdom has always regarded its military quality very high, but neglected the construction of the intelligence system.

Although an intelligence system had been established under Augustus's suggestion last time, that crude intelligence system was ridiculous and could not be applied to war in a short period of time.

The background of Shenglong Kingdom... is too bad.

This was Augustus's first taste of just how important the intelligence system was to warfare.

Without the intelligence system, the army is like fighting blindfolded, and the enemy can do whatever they want with you.

boom!
The door of the command room was violently kicked open.

Palitzer Gunier, the commander of the Silver Dragon Legion who came to reinforce the army from the capital city of Dragon, said angrily, "Augustus, what's going on! Why did the city of Gacili fall!"

"Are you trying to put the blame on me?"

Augustus glared at Palitzer and said, "Let me tell you, once His Majesty blames you, you and I will be blamed. In the final analysis, this war was caused by our rudimentary intelligence system, and the person in charge of the intelligence system Aren't people just you, Your Excellency?"

"Hu, nonsense!"

A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of Palitzer, who came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime: "It is obviously because of your wrong decision that this result has been caused, and it has nothing to do with me. I just brought troops from the capital to support you."

"Is that right?"

Augustus sneered: "If you are still in the imperial capital, I think His Majesty has dismissed you and investigated you. Don't forget that our Majesty is also from the army. Don't think that he can't see the root cause of the defeat in the war."

This time Palitzer made no rebuttal.

He paced back and forth, then looked at Augustus and said, "Your Excellency Augustus, I apologize for my earlier faux pas, the most urgent task now is to regain control of Gacili City, you should know The importance, with Gaxili City as the point, can directly threaten the existence of the capital city of Dragon City."

That's right.

If the Holy Dragon Kingdom set the capital at the city of Bauhinia, the former capital of the dynasty, then they would not need to be so flustered, because the strategic position of Gacili would at most affect the south, but in order to connect the overseas and the mainland, they would not die. It was established in the City of Dragons, and it was renamed Holy Dragon City.

Look at the map.

Holy Dragon City is located above Gaxili City, that is, in the northeast direction.

One city is in the south and the other is in the north, almost forming a straight line. If you march quickly, you can reach it in about ten days.

At that time, Foster Nolan was based on Gacili, directly threatening the city of the dragon. If he took the city of the dragon, he could open up sea routes and further threaten the city of redbuds, the capital of the kingdom.

This is the meaning of the city of Gacili.

Obtaining this city means that you have the premise to attack the Holy Dragon City. If you get a strategic city like Naxisir City, you will find that you still have to find a way to get Gacili after going around.

It is self-evident what kind of status Holy Dragon City possesses.

First of all, as the capital of the country, it is the aspiration of the army. The city is in the army, and the city is in panic.

Second.

The Holy Dragon Kingdom came from overseas, overseas is their retreat, and the Holy Dragon City is the only point of entry and exit linking their hometown and the mainland. Once the Holy Dragon City is lost, it means that their only retreat is directly cut off.

Totally conceivable.

With the way home cut off, the entire army... no, what kind of despair will the whole country fall into.

Therefore, both Augustus and Palitzer understood that the city of Gacili must be taken back, not only for the sake of redemption, but also for the safety of the Holy Dragon City.
