We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

The sample is not sufficient, but I will try my best.

Question: How could Rutland accept Sakaz’s peace proposal?

Answer: First of all, Rutland is developing in the direction of a neutral country, which is the original design of Eagle Point.Secondly, although they are in a hostile relationship, the two sides have essentially no war behavior, which is not seen in Arknights.

The protagonist asks for peace, and the Pope will agree but will not agree directly. After all, he still has a bit of hatred, so he wants to make things difficult for the protagonist and ask him to go to Lateran by himself.After Teresica did this, the Pope also vented his anger on Sakota's behalf, and the peace talks could naturally proceed.Teresica didn't do it, and it didn't matter to the Pope, it was just business as usual.

Chapter 235 W: Why are you back?

At the berth of the Queensland transport ship, the transport ship that had just stopped slowly opened all the hatches, and W reluctantly walked out of the crew compartment.

"Ah, it's this damn place again, why are Rem Billiton back?"

"Be optimistic, this might be the last time, and the food will be much better than before."

Hedley and Ines looked at this familiar land, and they didn't expect to come back not long after they left.And in just over a month, Queensland's construction level has actually increased a lot.

A large number of barracks and warehouses can be seen under construction in the distance, and giant machines have also been erected near the transport ship docking area, with the ability to quickly unload large and heavy cargo.

"Why is such a big crane installed here?"

Ines looked at it strangely. The construction in front of him was completely beyond the specifications. Kazdale now has too much money and nowhere to spend it?

"Crane? It's the one that lifts cargo boxes, isn't Kazdale importing ore here? Why does it matter?"

W looked unhappy. She just wanted to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the lower cargo hold, and the three of them stood on the side of the ship and looked down.

A truck that was much larger than the Kazdaele civilian truck slowly drove out of the cabin. The cargo bucket behind it was tightly wrapped with a tarpaulin.

This is just the first one. The second truck behind it is also slowly driving out, and the sound in the warehouse is getting louder and louder. It should be that more trucks are being started.

"Why are Kazdaele's troops suddenly equipped with so many trucks?"

W's curiosity was slightly aroused, and Hedley on the side explained: "It's a vehicle-mounted infantry gun and a mobile communication vehicle. These things are very heavy, and it is too slow to be pulled by beasts of burden."

Considering that the Victorians were also using drones to perform reconnaissance missions, Tracy Carter specially ordered the reinforcements to be camouflaged so that the Victorians could not detect that Kazdale was sending additional troops to Rem Billiton.

Therefore, the soldiers of the mobile artillery battalion erected four poles at the four corners of the vehicle-mounted infantry gun floor. After wrapping them with opaque tarps, they looked no different from the supply trucks of the transport team.

As for the mobile communication vehicle of the UAV unit, it was originally a truck with a shortwave radio station the size of a cargo box. The antenna was removed and covered with a tarpaulin, directly disguised as a supply truck.

More than 30 trucks formed a thin line and headed straight to Eureka State. However, Manteuffel, who received the news of the additional troops, did not show any joy on his face.

'The troops are all used carefully, so who will deploy them on a large scale if nothing happens? In all likelihood, something is wrong. '

He looked at the staff officer on the side and said, "More than 1000 of our officers and soldiers have been replaced by new ones. Although they are soldiers who have already received trench training, you still ask the commanders of the troops at all levels to help them enter actual combat status as soon as possible. "

"Yes."

Just as the combat staff officer was about to walk out, the communications soldier ran in at this moment, "Division Commander, urgent message."

Manteuffel took it directly, and his eyes widened immediately after just looking at it.

"Quick! Order the troops to strengthen the defense line! The Victorians have called the big guys! Also, summon all the officers above the company, there are new orders."

News of the approach of the Victoria destroyer quickly spread throughout the entire [-]st Experimental Division. All the soldiers, whether they were veterans or recruits who had just stepped off the transport ship and arrived here, vigorously waved their ordnance shovels to strengthen the trenches where they were stationed.

The bombproof holes and trenches were dug deeper and reinforced with wood, and concrete was even poured in some places to prevent collapse.

But while everyone was working hard to strengthen the defense, the orderly soldiers trotted through the trenches, "working in batches and half of them resting."

"Work in batches, half of the people have time off..."

.........

The sun was already setting in the west, and the Victoria troops who were attacking in the city of Eureka immediately stopped their actions and switched to defense on the spot.

"It's still very early, why did the attack suddenly stop?

The supplementary soldiers who had just been transferred from Victoria muttered in confusion, "These Carters don't have much combat effectiveness anyway. Let's attack a little further and end the battle as soon as possible."

"Young kid here, what do you know? You're talking nonsense here."

The veteran on the side scolded angrily: "Now that there is light, we can build a defense line in advance to ensure that there are no loopholes in the fortifications, so as not to allow the enemy to take advantage of them."

"The enemy? The Carters?"

The recruit curled his lips nonchalantly and said, "Those guys, I killed at least five of them today, so what if there is a loophole that they discovered?"

"Yes, Carters is indeed nothing, but they are not the ones we are guarding against."

Hearing this, the recruit was stunned for a moment, "Who are we guarding against?"

"Anti-demon guys! The demon guys in Rembilo are the ones who know how to fight. Carters is nothing. Without the demon guys, they would all have died long ago."

The veteran said: "At night, they will use the cover of night to approach us. Once they get close to us, we have no power to resist. Only by blocking them a hundred meters away can we have hope of living!"

Seeing the veteran's hands cleaning up the ruins while talking, the newly arrived supplementary soldiers looked around and found that everyone was urgently strengthening the defense line. Even the usually arrogant officers lowered their bodies. Do it yourself.

'Are demons so scary?'

The recruit thought to himself, but he also started to help, but his clumsy actions made the people around him not like it very much.

In Victoria's headquarters, Duke Stafford and General Harold were sitting together with smiles on their faces.

Originally, they were a noble army on one side and a parliamentary army on the other, and they were secretly hostile to each other.However, they had to start cooperating in the face of Sakaz's threat.

Only then did they realize that their colleagues who they originally disliked still had many advantages.

The parliamentary army attacked quickly and fiercely, and the artillery cover was accurate and fast.The aristocratic army's defenses are strong and tight, and even the demon clan members sometimes return without success.

"It seems that our guess is correct. The demons can only defend but not attack."

"Well, although there is nothing we can do on the east side of the city, we have defeated Carters in other directions. And we have re-completed the semi-encirclement of half of the city."

Harold smiled and said: "Thanks to your reliable protection, Your Majesty the Duke, Sakaz's attacks on us at night have become less and less. They can no longer rely on night counterattacks to seize the lost city."

"Well, General Harold is not simple either. Your attacks are perfectly timed, and each time you end up in the most advantageous defensive position."

"It's just a matter of geographical advantage. The real experts are the scholars of the Royal Academy of Sciences. The ballistae makes the training of soldiers simple. No matter how many people are lost, they can easily obtain qualified replacements."

Harold raised his glass and said, "To the Royal Academy of Sciences."

"To the Royal Academy of Sciences."

Stafford raised a glass together.

"But we can't relax too much. It's inevitable that Sakaz will make some new changes."

Harold said cautiously, but Stafford waved his hand indifferently.

"It doesn't matter. If Sakaz really wants to help Carters, he should transfer the field troops into the urban area of ​​Eureka to take over at least part of the front. But they only sent a small team of powerful personnel who can only do partial operations. On the whole By leaving Carters dead and injured during the battle, it was obvious that he didn’t really want to help Carters and must have had another purpose.”

"However, there is no need to be nervous whether Sakaz will attack or not, because I followed Sakaz's example and set up a defense line on our flanks, and arranged a division as a reserve. If Sakaz launches an assault on the flanks, , it’s not that easy to pass, we will have sufficient support.”

Chapter 236 The Counterattack Begins

Another night passed, and the miserable appearance of Eureka City was revealed again on this land.The Victoria soldiers stationed on the outskirts of the city walked out of their tents after listening to the muster sentry, and lined up in front of the cooking soldiers with plates in their hands.

"It's us again."

"Well, I've gotten used to it during this time."

While waiting for their meal, Victoria's soldiers chatted left and right.

When I was involved in combat in the past, the battle could start at any time. It was difficult to sleep and have breakfast like this.Unexpectedly, after arriving at Rem Billiton, they would actually be like the political officer of Londinium, entering the combat area at a scheduled time every day, and then withdrawing at a scheduled time.

"It's quite comfortable. It would be nice if it could be like this in the future."

"It would be better if we could rest in these houses."

A soldier looked at the surrounding ruins with envy. Although the nearby buildings were damaged, there were still some rooms that could be used as qualified shelters, but they were all occupied by officers.

These officers would not live in houses like this elsewhere, but here is the outskirts of the city, and a few hundred meters further outside is the desert, with frighteningly strong winds and sand.

Living in a house is much more comfortable than living in a tent.

"Then you might as well ask for another orderly."

"I'll give you another steak with a fresh vegetable salad."

The surrounding soldiers heard what he was saying and started to boo and taunt him. Even the cooking soldiers on the side cooperated with the performance.

"Oh, my respected Lord Hunter, if you think the taste of breakfast is too bland, I can cut one of mine for you."

"Hahaha……"

The laughter grew louder, covering up some sounds.

【Woo--】

【boom--! ! ! 】

The Victoria soldiers who were sitting together eating suddenly felt themselves being pushed off the ground by a force, and then fell hard to the ground.

【boom--! ! ! 】

Cannonballs fell one after another in the rest area, and the impact of the explosion and the sharp sound of broken instruments mixed together, causing great consternation to the unprepared Victoria soldiers.

How can Carters have the ability to build a cannon? This must belong to Sakaz!But haven't they already dealt a major blow to Sakaz's artillery fire? '

No one can answer such a question, everyone is running towards the direction they think is safe in despair.

Hunter, who had been waiting for the cook to fill him with batter just now, realized that he was already lying on the ground when he came back to his senses. He felt that his whole body was in pain as if it was falling apart. Although the plate was still in his hand, But there were only a few food remnants left, and a familiar finger half soaked in it.

.........

"Fourth salvo! Fire!"

As soon as the commander's shout fell, all the gunners pulled the match ropes, and the 16 vehicle-mounted infantry cannons roared together.

【boom--! ! ! 】

"Transfer! Quick!"

The artillery crew members who had been hiding far away just now ran to their own artillery trucks, turning the handles crazily, and the large stationary hoe that had been put down was lifted up from the ground little by little, and the raised muzzle was also lowered little by little. .

With the help of brute force, the resetting of the artillery assembly was quickly completed. After seeing that everyone was in the car, the driver turned the steering wheel in a circle and stepped on the accelerator a little bit.

Due to cost issues, this car actually did not have very good shock absorption capabilities, and the soldiers sitting in the car were bounced like balls.

They grabbed the armrests and asked, "Are you driving too fast?"

"We have to get to the next position before the other artillery battalions finish firing!"

The driver pressed hard on the steering wheel, and he was jolted heavily, but he did not dare to slow down at all.

Because of the disadvantage in range, Sakaz's infantry artillery had no means to counter the Victoria artillery, and could only adopt a hit-and-run approach.However, this cannot form a sustained artillery bombardment, so the artillery units can only be used as battalions to fire at a target location in sequence and move between several artillery positions calculated in advance.

Above their heads, more than a dozen drones were flying in the opposite direction to them.Originally, all the drones of the First Experimental Division were concentrated and used to maintain perimeter alert.

Now, a group of 500 mechanists has arrived at Rembiton, which instantly makes the Sakaz army's shortage of drones disappear.

Some of the drones here are used to help other artillery units practice shooting, and some are specifically responsible for hitting Victoria drones that may appear.

The vehicle-mounted IG73C infantry gun is a new piece of equipment for Kazdaele, and it would not be good if Victoria detects it.

And the Sakaz also wanted to find out, how did the Victorians accurately position their artillery?

Shells continued to fall into the city of Eureka, but this time they hit the Victory-controlled area.Listening to the deafening sound, Holden shouted excitedly to the warriors of the tribe.

"Did you hear that! This is Sakaz's artillery! Not only are they attracting firepower for us outside the city, but they are now directly supporting us!"

For the Carters, there is only one word to describe the entire Eureka War of Independence - death.

Their weapons are backward, they have no training, and they don't even have a formal military system at all. Facing Victoria's all-round dimensionality reduction attack, they can only fill it with flesh and blood.

Humans are made of flesh, and the Carters are also afraid and fearful. The morale of the soldiers has long been low. What keeps them from collapsing is their independent obsession and the anger of revenge for their relatives and friends.

The Carters, who had been hiding in the ruins to defend themselves against Victoria's daytime bombardment, crawled out one after another.They had long been numb to the sound of artillery, but this was the first time that the area controlled by the Victorians had been bombarded.

"Do we have cannons too?"

"No...I don't know..."

The Carters tribe's ears, which were lying limply, gradually stood up in pairs.

"Come on!"

I don't know who shouted, and all the Carters ran wildly. The extremely suppressed sorrow was released from another angle at this moment.
