Chapter 735 Taking Over the Battle
The first month and ten days of the war broke out.

As Coverdale, the spiritual pillar of the rebel army, fell on the battlefield, the unbreakable first line of defense fell into the enemy's hands in an instant, and within just three hours, the second and third lines of defense collapsed directly. Most of the city at war fell into enemy hands.

Now the rebels still have half of the city left.

They relied on the fourth line of defense to temporarily stop the imperial army's attack.

Because the fourth line of defense revolved around the Tank River that divides the city from north to south, the rebels blew up all the bridges connecting the two banks, and burned the ships along the coast, temporarily delaying the pace of the imperial army's offensive.

But after all, this is a palliative, not a permanent solution.

In a maximum of five days, the empire will create a large number of ships to cross the river bank for the final decisive battle.

To put it bluntly, an army like the rebel army absolutely cannot fail. Once they fail once, they will enter this endless loop, and then they will lose in a row.

Especially when Coverdale fell on the battlefield in full view.

This is fatal to them.

This caused their spiritual sustenance to collapse instantly, and they scattered without the leadership of the leader.

Investigate its essence.

This war is not a war of the rebels at all, but a war of Coverdale alone.

If Coverdale does not fall, the Imperial Army will never be able to advance further. Once Coverdale falls, the Imperial Army will be invincible.

Coverdale, who has awakened, knows his army too well.

It was precisely because he knew so well that he had no choice but to participate in these wars when he knew he would fall down.

But now, he really can't do anything.

The Imperial Army caught their lifeblood and taught him a good lesson, and finally let him know how stupid and unrealistic it is to try to fight the entire empire with one person. He is just an ordinary person who is not even a magician.

But ah.

Coverdale didn't look dismayed.

There was endless ferocity flashing in his eyes.

"Hey hey hey."

Coverdale smiled ferociously: "The Imperial Army has indeed seized our lifeblood, but the Imperial Army must not know that standing on the battlefield is far more terrifying than falling on the battlefield. Because I stand on the battlefield , what they want to defeat is just me, an ordinary human being, but when I fall, the undefeated devil will take over the war."

"The leader is really too much."

Vega said with a faint smile: "I have genuine human blood, so the word devil shouldn't be forced on me, an underage 'child' anyway. Can you avoid me as the client? After all, I would be ashamed too."

"Your Majesty, there is no shame on your face."

Coverdale straightened his face, and then begged Vega, "I can only persist until this point. I will leave the next battle to Your Majesty."

"My lord, you probably asked the wrong person."

Vega glanced at Housman: "There is clearly an officer stronger than me standing here, why do you ask me to command the next war?"

Coverdale understood.

He got up from the bed with difficulty, and then bowed to the masked Housman: "Your Excellency, please give me a helping hand."

tick tick-

Time passed minute by minute.

Housman quietly looked at Coverdale, who was bowing, and did not say until a minute had passed: "My lord, I agree to your request, but next I want the highest command here."

"Of course."

Coverdale said excitedly, "I wonder if we can be honest?"

Because Coverdale wore a mask from the beginning to the end, before that, Coverdale once thought that Housman was Vega's guard, but judging from the current situation, this voice sounds a bit hoarse and vicissitudes People, identity is not simple.

Hearing Coverdale's request, Housman took off his mask without hesitation.

There is nothing to hide.

But when Housman showed his true colors, Coverdale was really taken aback: "Are you...General Housman?"

As a soldier of the empire, it is impossible for him not to know this general.

Although this general has been silent for more than 50 years, Coverdale knows very well that no one who can be called the general of the empire is a fuel-efficient lamp. If the general can command this war, maybe he can really win?
but……

There was some concern in Coverdale's eyes again.

Because compared to a general like Housman who has been silent for a long time, Foster has been active in his field of vision all year round, and when the two are compared, they immediately judge.

Of course Hausmann saw all this.

But he is not a face-saving officer like Foster. As a low-key person, he will never lose his temper with Coverdale at this time, because facts are always stronger than words.

"My lord, don't underestimate General Hausmann."

Vega stood up and said a few words for Housman: "In terms of strength, General Housman is definitely above Foster."

"Of course, of course."

Coverdale made a few polite remarks, obviously not fully believing them.

Veigar glanced at Housman regretfully, and Housman shook his head towards Veigar, so Veigar didn't say anything else.

Others don't know Hausman's ability, but Vega knows it very well.

Foster still has his shortcomings, and in Vega's impression, Housman has almost no fatal weaknesses.In conventional battles, he is more rigorous than Foster, and when facing desperation, he can make a lot of tricks.

The word omnipotent seems to be tailor-made for Housman.

If you want to talk about weaknesses, lack of self-motivation is probably the most fatal weakness. Such a general can perfectly complete the tasks you entrust, but you expect him to give you [-]% of his efforts and give you double rewards It's almost impossible.

Veigar hoped that through this battle, he could force something of Housman.

As it turned out, Veigar was right.

As soon as he got the command, Housman took Coverdale and held a meeting directly.

He glanced at the sluggish morale, and directly signaled Coverdale to follow his previous instructions: "Everyone, please allow me to tell you an exciting news. The Jialan Empire has decided to send troops to support us."

"The Jialan Empire... wants to support us?"

The entire conference room was quiet for a few minutes, and then burst into astonishing cheers as soon as the situation swept away.

This also made Coverdale open his mouth in surprise. He was worrying about how to restore the sluggish morale. Housman's fluffy lie instantly swept away the haze of losing the three lines of defense. gap?
