Arc of Gunfire

Chapter 476 The troops are approaching the city (update 13/81)

Soon the body of the assassin who was killed by Emilia from a very long distance was delivered to Wang Zhong.

There were three people in total, two of them looked like Plosans, and the remaining one should be a Baras. Wang Zhong was not sure, because his hair and skin color looked very similar to a Baras.

But it was easy to solve this problem. He waved to the commander of the First Brigade of Baras who was waiting for orders: "Mistafa, come here and see if this person is from Baras."

Mistafar came over, took one look and said, "This is the falconer."

Wang Zhong: "Does he... have magic? Just like our Miss Amelia?"

Emilia: "What do you mean? I saved you, can you stop being so outspoken?"

Wang Zhong: "Like little Emilia?"

Emilia frowned.

Wang Zhong immediately changed his mind: "Like sister Amelia?"

"Whatever. But falconers do have mysterious powers. They can empathize with eagles, it is said."

Wang Zhong looked at Amelia: "It is said?"

Mistafa responded: "They are all legends. Some people think that they are just snipers with particularly good marksmanship. When the falconers attack, they mostly use the eagle to peck out the target's eyes, and rarely use guns."

Wang Zhong: "His sniper range is very far."

He wanted to say that the sniper range exceeded my highlighted range, but he temporarily changed his mind.

Wang Zhong always felt that he could sit back and relax with this highlight, but now it seems that he is not so safe, and he is still quite scared when encountering ultra-long-range snipers.

Although being able to do this kind of thing relies on supernatural power, Proson happens to have no supernatural power, so he can probably act casually when facing Proson.

But--if the United Kingdom wants me to die, that won't be easy.

Wang Zhong looked at Amelia.

Emilia: "Don't worry, I won't shoot at the Allied generals."

Wang Zhong: "But the war will end. Can we still be allies after that?"

Emilia shook her head: "At least we won't be allies in Baras. Our Prime Minister has a famous saying: Nothing lasts forever..."

"There are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends, only permanent interests." Wang Zhong said.

"Yeah." Amelia nodded, but after a brief pause she added, "But you and I are good friends, and I won't open fire on my friends."

Wang Zhong: "When did we become good friends?"

"When you won me ten pounds." Emilia looked at Mistafa next to Wang Zhong, "I never imagined that I could gain such heartfelt respect from the locals."

Wang Zhong: "Because we don't want to colonize them, we hope they can achieve national liberation. One day in the future, Ante may become someone we oppose, but as long as I am still here, I will do my best to prevent this from happening. ”

Emilia looked at Wang Zhong: "Yeah, then I'll wait and see."

Don't wait and see. According to the history of the earth, your United Kingdom is the most popular. Don't hesitate and become Davarich!

At this time, Emilia said: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. People like me and the falconer who were killed are very rare. The biggest weakness of magic is that it depends too much on talent, and no one can do it." Stable output of highly talented people.

"That's why Proson put forward the slogan that the light of technology will eventually replace God's favor."

Emilia looked at the mysterious power user of Baras with a look of emotion.

At this time, the judge who was searching the two Prossens stood up and saluted Wang Zhong: "Report, the documents on these two people should be forged. They entered the country with Bahara's diplomatic visa."

Emilia was shocked: "Bahara? Impossible! We can't be exploited like this!"

Wang Zhong: "I suggest you check your embassy in Barras."

"I'll suggest it," said Colonel Benjamin, the liaison officer. "No, I'll demand it."

The Inquisitor continued to report: "Based on the equipment they carry and their clothes, I think they are agents of the Prosin Palace."

Wang Zhong asked seriously: "Can you interrogate them?"

The judge also replied seriously: "They are already dead. We can't really make the dead speak."

Wang Zhong: "Understood. I thought the Tribunal also had some mysterious powers, such as talking to the dead."

Apparently Wang Zhong played "Baldur's Gate 3" before traveling through time.

The inquisitor said with a straight face: "We don't have such technology."

Damn it, what you said makes me feel like you have such technology!

Wang Zhong took a deep breath and decided not to worry about it anymore. He changed the topic: "Do you have any useful documents on you?"

"No." The judge replied, "Being able to identify the agents of the Imperial Household Ministry has already used my personal experience and a little bit of reasoning. I will write 'unknown person' on the official document."

Wang Zhong nodded: "I understand. Then let's look for clues from the less professional falconer. He must have brought something to prove his identity."

"Indeed, we found the Barras ID card on him, as well as...the Barras falconer's license, and a photo."

Wang Zhong took the photo and found that the photo showed a family of three, and the male owner was the deceased.

He turned over the photo and saw an address behind it.

Wang Zhong: "Write down this address. But don't disturb them. I want to personally deliver this person's remains to his family."

Emilia: "You want to win over the falconer group again? Damn it, if you make trouble in Barras, all our efforts in Barras will be in vain."

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? I mean, for the people of Barras?"

Emilia didn't immediately raise her eyes and glare at Wang Zhong, but turned her head away.

See, the characteristic of the people of the United Kingdom is to vote - vote for the secular party!

Wang Zhong: "Okay, the assassin's matter has been resolved. At least it has been resolved temporarily. We can't let this little episode affect the attack. The rest will end tomorrow and continue the attack in the early morning of September 5th!"

He turned to Mistafa: "Your brigade will join the vanguard, but are you used to sitting on tanks and advancing?"

Mistafa: "Not used to it, but we can learn."

"Very good. Let's set off as soon as possible while the vanguard is resting."

"Yes." Mistafa saluted Wang Zhong, the same solemn salute that Meyer saluted Wang Zhong a few days ago.

Wang Zhong couldn't help asking, "This salute was performed to me by Meyer. What is this salute?"

"It is our most formal and solemn salute, which means that we regard you as our best friend." Mistafa said.

Wang Zhong smiled slightly, turned his head and asked Emilia, "Have any diplomats from the United Kingdom been welcomed by the Barras people with such a salute?"

Emilia: "Don't embarrass me."

On September 5, the expeditionary force set out again.

Along the way, not only did the Barras troops continue to surrender, but even the people of Barras began to welcome the Ante expeditionary force with food and drink.

At the same time as the expeditionary force set out again, the photos taken by Mike's partner Robert Capa were also published on the front page of all newspapers in the United States.

Robert Capa shot a whole roll of film, all of which were the scene of Admiral Rokossov raising his arms and shouting "fight" after being shot. He chose the one with the best composition.

In this picture, Admiral Rokosov raised his right hand and looked forward fearlessly, with the Ante flag fluttering in the wind behind him.

The Ante soldiers protecting him formed a very stable triangle structure next to him.

Such a natural composition cannot be taken deliberately, and it requires a little bit of luck.

The impactful composition, coupled with various sensational headlines, made Admiral Rokosov once again the top streamer of the United States.

The progress of the expeditionary force was very coordinated, and there was even an atmosphere in the United States that "everything will be fine as long as Rokosov launches an attack."

This atmosphere even diluted the impact of the Plossons' rapid advance in the south of Ante.

Yes, the Plossons launched an attack in the south of Ante like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

The power of the entire Southern Army Group was divided into two groups. Army Group A advanced all the way to the pass of the Raoul Mountains and flattened all the towns along the mountains.

However, the attack on the pass was firmly blocked by the Raoul Front led by General Fyodor Mihajnovich (the general who succeeded Prince Myshkin).

Although the B Army Group in the east failed to achieve the goal of encircling and annihilating the Sukhaveli Front, after General Gorky's general retreat, they quickly occupied the Sukhaveli River bend and advanced towards the Valdai River.

Between the two army groups was a vast grassland. Because of the poor infrastructure, neither side deployed many troops here.

So the newspapers of the United States took it for granted that this large area of ​​troop vacuum was all painted with the color of the Plosen occupation zone.

This looks very scary.

If Rokossov's victory had not diluted everyone's concerns, even the sales of the United States' war bonds might have fallen.

Because of this, the United States' bond issuance committee pushed General Rokossov even harder and launched a lot of peripheral products, ranging from postcards to stamps.

In order to attract noble ladies to buy war bonds, they even came up with the idea of ​​publishing a booklet of General Rokossov, which was full of stories about American women who came to Ant and met the general by chance, and then developed a romantic relationship.

So Rokossov, the general of Ant, quickly became a top star in the United States and gained a large number of housewife fans.

Then, the calls for Rokossov to come to the United States became louder and louder.

After all, there is an absolutely safe air route between Ant and the United States, and the United States' aircraft supporting Ant flew to Ant from this route.

This situation continued until September 7, when it reached its climax.

Because on this day, the Ant expeditionary force arrived at the capital of Barras.
