Continental Hero Senki

Command was engulfed in chaos when reports of the bridge being destroyed reached Imperial Corps Command.

"What do you mean!?

"A bouncing bridge in the north middle and northeast has collapsed as a result of rebel sorcery attacks. The southern side has also confirmed the activated light of sorcery, probably there too..."

"You savages! Hey, call the Corps of Engineers. And get a grip on the damage, hurry!

"Ha!"

The Northwest Front has a wider range of roads and troops are easy to deploy than other fronts. But just to say it's wide as a street, it's not big enough for the Imperial Army to be in its favor.

Major General Sadirin considered crosslinking in order to take advantage of that number.

"It's Major Menkov, 3rd Engineer Squadron Leader!

"Are you here? Quick, but I need to talk to you."

"What is it, my lord"

"The bridge was destroyed in the north middle and on the northeast front. Can we repair this or bridge a temporary bridge?

"… it seems difficult"

"Why?

"There is no way the rebels will be watching it in silence as our Corps of Engineers cross and repair it. I was wondering if it would be difficult on a spectacular bridge that could be wiped out by a few advanced magic shots."

"So if our army also covers the crosslinking by advanced magic, can we?

"That seems difficult too. Sorcerers must make considerable strides in a city with many blind spots. You may get bows and arrows and sorcery attacks from the Old Town and lose a lot of sorcery soldiers, as you did during the earlier sorcery attacks."

"Hmm... I don't know what else to do"

That said Major General Sadirin gave up Operation Crosslinking and lowered the Engineer Captain.

"So, what are the details of the damage?

"Yes, the situation in the 55th Division remains unknown, but the situation on the North Central and Northeast Fronts is in"

"I don't mind. Read it out."

"Ha. 128 war deaths and missing persons on the North Central Front. of the Northeast Front. That's 119. There are 913 casualties on both fronts."

"If there were similar damage on the southern front, the damage would add up to roughly 500 battle deaths and 2000 war wounds?"

"As it is, there will be an obstacle to maintaining the front. You may want to stop the offensive and convert it into a long-lasting battle."

"... contact Major General Sirokov of the 55th Division. Regroup your forces."

"My lord!"

"An invasion from the south has become impossible, whether we have a lasting war or a short-term showdown. It would be better to leave only a minimal force and reinforce the northern front"

"... ok"

To date, the battle of the Imperial Army has been arguably an ugly one: the total number of Imperial Army soldiers killed or injured in action as of October 8 is more than 6,000, a figure that exceeds 30% of the total. This was due to increased damage caused by Major General Sadirin's attempts to push the offensive at his disposal, but it was an unexpected development that the new city, a normal city that was not a fortress, had so much heavy defense.

And as if chasing this situation, disturbing information was brought to Major General Sirokov.

"A massive force in Silesia, you say?

"Yes, at least 10 divisions of troops are deployed on the border. Probably to support the Raskino Independence Army."

"Ten divisions...? It's hard to imagine Silesia could muster that much force... Are you sure about that?

"First, no doubt"

If the 10 divisions join Laskino as reinforcements, the disadvantage of the Imperial Army, which has only 5 divisions combined with Ozerki's troops, will not be spared. We can only ask for further reinforcements than the central one, but our army could be wiped out before reinforcements arrive. Unlike the Raskino Independence Army, the Imperial Army is not caged in favorable terrain.

"What do you do? My lord."

"I can't judge by myself. Major General Sadirin will need to be consulted."

"Major General Sadirin contacted me. Assemble on the northern front of the entire army."

"Ho. That's convenient. Get ready now."

"Ha!"

October 10.

The 55th division, which ended the chain of command and the reconfiguration of troops, completed its rendezvous with the 52nd division in the north. After the rendezvous, Major General Sirokov quickly told Major General Sadirin about the reinforcements in Silesia.

"Things are serious. If this unit arrives in Laskino, our army is in danger of being sieged backwards. We should retreat to Ozerki and see what's going on."

"Sir also has a point. But do you really think these 10 divisions are gonna cross the border?

"... you say?

"To say that they will cross the border is to say that they have invaded our empire. Isn't that a decision that's too dangerous for his country?

"No, isn't that a problem if Raskino is an independent country?

"Since when did our empire recognize Laskino's independence?

……

"First of all, it is hard to imagine that we can also prepare 10 divisions per silesia. Silesia's normal battle power is about 15 divisions. If we send 10 divisions under such circumstances, we will find ourselves in a situation that cannot be seen in national defence."

At this time Major General Sadirin and Major General Shilokov did not know that the rebels already had Ostomark and Silesian prostitutes, and maybe Ostomark troops to reinforce the problem. The composition of the soldiers of the Raskino defence force was mostly the citizens of Raskino and the Guard, and the brave prostitutes were unaware of their existence because they were only 10% of the total.

"But ignoring this unit will also be a few problems. I was wondering if I should be careful."

"Most. Major General Shilokov, it's going to be a hassle twice, but I need you to send a sentry unit south to keep an eye on him. I'll take care of the size and braids."

"Okay."

"Well, the offense against the old town of Raskino in question..."

---

As time went by, a report arrived in the ear of Laskino Defense Commander Brigadier General Kirk that Silesia had reinforcements ready. For the siege was temporarily lifted because the Imperial Army abandoned the southern part of the new city, and the horse of the decree was able to enter Laskino with that gap.

"3 divisions of the Silesian Army, 8 divisions of the Ostmarc Army reinforced?"

"Yes, the arrival date is about two weeks from now."

"Two weeks. That's critical considering the food."

But to be critical, this meant that we could see hope for the Laskino army. At a time when morale continued to drop due to endless defensive warfare and diminishing supplies, information that reinforcements would arrive in two weeks could restore the morale of soldiers. Above all, because victory and independence have come within reach.

"Let all units know quickly about this reinforcement. Don't let your enemies beat you."

"Ha!"
