This witch calls me daddy

Chapter 412 Hotline before launch

It wasn't until the sky began to darken that the enemy's bridgehead position began to smoke. By this time, Lu Ye and others had been lurking outside the bridgehead position for nearly 4 hours, and there were still more than ten hours before the official attack time.

In the past four hours, Jialan has led sniper squads to spread out along the river. Their mission is to monitor the river, prevent the other party from establishing temporary river crossing projects, and avoid unexpected changes in the battlefield.

Fortunately, until daybreak, the main force on the other side of the river did not move. I don't know whether it was because they never thought of a backup plan or because they were delayed by yesterday's accidental fire.

Ge Lin returned alone to monitor the movements of the vanguard infantry battalion. These guys were still digging trenches and preparing bunkers seriously, as if they wanted to stay here permanently.

Lu Ye took Anjie, Jingji, and the remaining 20 or so hyena mercenaries to lurk near the bridgehead from two directions. Among them, Jingji was the closest, almost under the enemy's gun, and through the weeds And the ruins hide silently.

In fact, there is no need to lurk so close. With the combat power of Thorns, once the fight starts, won't the charge be over in an instant? Who can run faster than her?
But Lu Ye knew that she just thought it was more fun to lie under people's noses and listen to what they said.

He was just the opposite. Since he knew that there were still about ten hours before the decisive battle started, he simply stayed away so that he could still play group chat on the communication channel, or talk on the phone...

The first call he made was to Sophia.

As a result, Sophia responded in seconds, opening her mouth and crying with emotion: "W-where are you?"

"Huh?...You said..."

"Oh?" Lu Ye was a little surprised. He really didn't know that there was an important meeting in the city-state today.

Lu Ye was stunned: "Looking for His Majesty the King? You don't... want the northern city-state to directly participate in the war, do you?"

Lu Ye couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he heard this. He really felt Sophia's worry about him... This was not like the usual second princess.

"Yes."

Lu Ye could hear that it was difficult for Sophia to say the words "make concessions", but he was still a little curious about what cards the princess had in her hand: "Concession? How to make concessions?"

Sophia became even more excited: "Holika?"

Sophia continued: "I... can try to get my father to make concessions in exchange for the First Federation's understanding and allow the Republican Army to withdraw from Eitlag."

"Thank you...but it won't work."

"You're crazy! They have two brigades of troops! Dozens of tanks, hundreds of tanks! How many people do you have?"

Sophia obviously took two deep breaths, forced herself to calm down, and her tone was slightly calmer: "The planes of the First Federal Secretary of State and the Minister of Defense have just landed, and the talks between the two parties will probably start soon. During this period, the military ministerial dialogue is a retreat. The two sides have expressed their attitudes and made their positions clear. The real key is the subsequent informal meeting between Secretary of State Boris and his father...the two sides will formally express their stance on the armed regime of the Holy Cult of Eitlag."

"What...are you going to do?"

Lu Ye thought for a while and answered seriously: "Well... there are currently more than forty people on the front line." Then he couldn't help but give the princess a thumbs up: "You are so well-informed! I only knew this last night of."

Lu Ye quickly stopped her: "Hey! Miss Princess? Don't panic, don't be confused, just listen to me!"

"This is not possible. If you give in and join the "Anti-Russen Framework", it means that the interim government supported by you is also an anti-Russian camp. Then although we don't have to worry about harassment from the Republican Army, we will have to face The Four Cities Defense Force in the East, and even the Lusen Empire! The Four Cities Defense Force alone has 10 people. Therefore, the First Federation’s team cannot stand. His Majesty the King must understand this. He will not sign it, and neither will His Excellency Kirill. Wouldn’t approve.”

Sophia was still caught up in her own emotions and did not hear Lu Ye's words at all. She was still talking to herself: "Maybe... maybe we can sign the "Anti-Lusen Framework Agreement" in exchange for the First Federation's concession... But Father, he..."

Lu Ye smiled helplessly. Sure enough, anything that happened in Luxi was open and transparent to the Western Union countries.

Lu Ye was startled, wondering what happened to her: "I'm on the front line."

Sophia explained: "I also saw it in the military intelligence report of the Western Alliance peacekeeping force this morning, so I came to see my father as soon as possible."

Sophia sighed helplessly: "It's impossible. The Shandong area is nominally controlled by the peacekeeping forces. The city-state has no right to take any military action there. Air strikes and military intervention will be regarded as violations of the Western Union Convention... I All we can do is to ask my father... to make concessions."

Lu Ye seemed to smile calmly: "I plan to... beat them back."

After hearing what Lu Ye said, Sophia also turned around and understood that this was not a feasible solution at all, but she became even more panicked:
"Then, what should we do? You..."

Hearing the girl's trembling breathing, Lu Ye smiled, and tried to make his smile easier, and his tone became soft and soothing: "Promise me, Sophia. Don't do anything until the result of today's battle is known. , waiting for my news.”

"what……?"

"Believe me, at worst, I can still run away."

"But..." Sophia's voice was full of nasal sounds. Lu Ye imagined that those lake-green eyes full of water vapor should be very beautiful, but it was a pity that he didn't see it with his own eyes.

"Remember? I...was unscathed."

"...Hmm." Sophia said this word while covering her mouth.

"I will come back to you." "...you...promise!"

"I promise."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ye couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

I wanted to take some time off and relax myself.

Now he feels even heavier, because he has another reason to defeat his enemy.

……

After thinking about it, he made the second call to Huanyu.

This time, the environmental instructor answered the call very slowly. After answering the phone, his speech was still slurred, as if he was eating.

"Hello, instructor!"

Huan Yu could be heard swallowing what was in his mouth, and then he said calmly: "Hello, Mr. Lu."

"Having breakfast?"

"Yes, get the dumplings on the bus and get the noodles off. We have to arrange a meal for everyone before departure."

Lu Ye smiled, this relaxed attitude was very good.

"Have you received all the information I sent you?"

"Yes, it's very complete. We have made corresponding arrangements."

Lu Ye nodded. He still had a little confidence in the fighting style of Donghuang soldiers and believed that they would take every battle seriously.

"Then... I wish you a safe journey?"

"Well, okay. I wish you all the best."

Just as Lu Ye was about to hang up the phone, Huan Yu suddenly said, "We will meet again."

"Of course, without a doubt!"

"it is good."

Lu Ye was about to hang up the phone again, but Huan Yu suddenly called him again: "Hey... I... want to bring you some dumplings?"

Lu Ye grinned happily: "Are you jealous?"

"some."

"Some garlic too."

"it is good."

……

For the third call, Lu Ye thought about it and dialed Bering.

As expected, no answer.

Lu Ye estimated that she didn't do it on purpose, she probably just didn't wake up.

So the fourth call was made to Shanshan.

"Have you set off yet?"

Shanshan: "Yeah!"

Lu Ye stood up, stretched and looked across the river.

After procrastinating for so long, the standing camp finally set off, which also means:

The head-on confrontation is about to begin.
