Continental Hero Senki

The report of the devastation of the Valavillier Supply Base enraged Marshal Bakunin, as Sergei expected.

"One regiment was left in the garrison while only 300 rebels destroyed it!? What was that kid doing!?

Marshal Bakunin's anger didn't mean he was out of focus. If you do see it on the number, you could say it was ugly how the Royal Army Cavalry had done so much damage, no matter how strong it was. But I can't always call it angry. Beyond the destruction of the supply base, the Imperial Army had to choose whether to fight, withdraw or surrender with only the three days worth of food left in Fort Tartak.

Bakunin held an urgent meeting after stopping all fighting and returning the Imperial Army generals to Fort Tartak once.

"So when will the replenishment go back to normal?

Sergei Romanov's immediate boss, General Malmberg, questioned the supply staff who were attending the meeting in a somewhat grumpy tone.

"Zalesier, it will take roughly seven days to arrange supplies as soon as possible from the fort on the Osmora side"

"Not so......!? and from the surrounding cities and villages, can you levy!?

"It can't be done, but for minutes this is a remote place with no population or economic power. Too many troops were gathered on the Athenian side again, therefore overburdened with supplies. For this reason, we have started sourcing from rural areas a few weeks ago. It's probably not even in the countryside anymore."

"Oh my... So that's what Sir says that the only supplies here are in the territory of the rebels!?

"... unfortunately, I have to admit that"

Having heard that, Malmberg passed his anger and just moved his mouth like a fish seeking food. And in fact, the Imperial Army was already in a situation where it had to ask for food.

"It is what we have opened up at this operational meeting to decide what we will do in the future. I only have 3 more days of food and 4 more days with it. And by the time the goal is to procure supplies, the rebels will be launching a simultaneous offensive."

"It's impossible to fight properly in a starving state. Because you have to make a decision while you have food."

"Retreat or jade crush..."

Throughout this period, no one claimed to be jade crushed was on this occasion. No, an intermediate officer of the aristocracy who makes a noise about letting a martial arts medal stand could have shouted it out loud. But Bakunin and other high-ranking officers and unscrupulous nobles had different responsibilities and circumstances.

Noble officers, even if they die in battle, will have the foil of "honor in battle" no matter what they think around them. For the rest of the family, it could be an opportunity for the Duke to be given a chance.

But there is no doubt that high-ranking officers above the Lieutenant General who command the troops as commanders will still be held responsible for their defeat even if they die in battle. The responsibility of Bakunin, who has become the seat of the Commander-in-Chief in particular, is enormous, and if he continues to return, he will be impeached as "an incompetent general who let 40 Imperial Army divisions die for no reason".

But Bakunin also had another idea. It was extremely radical, saying that it would mount an offensive against the Royal Army, drop the Royal Army strongholds and loot the supplies and food that would be there.

If it failed, Bakunin could understand that it would lead to jade crushing. But if we succeed, not only will we not have to worry about mourning the lack of supplies, but we can disable the Royal Army on the Athenian side.

Retreat or pillage? Bakunin tried to ask those gathered in the conference room what they would do. But before that, things started rolling in an unexpected direction for the Imperial Army.

4: 35pm.

Someone broke into the operations conference room without a knock. It was Bakunin's deputy, and he looked very hasty. Those around him tried to calm him down because he was too hasty, but his deputy ignored those good intentions and rushed to the side of Bakunin.

"Marshal! Oh, my God!"

"What's up?

"Well, that's what I just received a communication from the early horse, but, uh..."

"Calm down, breathe. What happened? What happened?

Bakunin urged his deputy to take three deep breaths twice and somehow calm down. But the words he uttered were powerful enough to stop everyone who was in the ops conference room from breathing for a moment.

"It appears that the Ostmarc Empire has issued a statement of censure against our country!

"What!?

It was the last trump card (card) by Joseph Waresa, a Siresian diplomat in the Ostmarc Empire.

And the Imperial Army generals who were here fully understood the meaning of the trump card being cut. It was the departure of the Ostomark Empire from the anti-Silesian alliance and, on the contrary, its hostility. In addition to this condemnation statement, there was also the possibility that the Second Reich of Christ would take a ride.

There is no room for the Eastern Continental Empire, whose main force has moved to the Silesian border and is currently under a financial strain in the battle for Silesia, to just stop the invasion of these two empires.

The conclusion was also understandable to Malmberg, who was credited with being scattered incompetent by Sergei.

And in silence, the House decided.

"Immediately make peace with the rebels, no, the Royal Silesian Army. With that, I forbid any act of combat! Good!"

"Ha!"

---

The information on the condemnation statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ostmarc Empire had naturally also reached under the front base Regiel of the Royal Silesian Army. At the same time, information came into command that the Meisel Cavalry had succeeded in breaking into imperial territory, and the Royal Army generals were convinced of the victory of the war at this moment. The Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Army, Marshal Kiir, gathered senior officers for an immediate meeting to begin future deliberations.

It should be noted that there is no Princess Emilia on this occasion. She is still in Raskino Free Nation Carinino and has the return of the Royal Army Cavalry

The first speaker was General Leon Willobolski, Chief of General Staff.

"This is a great opportunity. So isn't it?

"... what is the occasion, Sir, when he calls it a 'great opportunity'? An opportunity to mount an offensive? Or is it an opportunity to make peace?

"Regardless, it's an offense. Thanks to High Counsellor Emilia's operation, we succeed in cutting off enemy supply lines, no, it should have been time to succeed. Soon the enemy will be starving and unable to act, and thanks to a statement of condemnation, they will be unable to act positively. If you poke there, you can destroy your enemies at once. If possible, this one can punch against the Empire."

Willobolski's opinion was not wrong.

Out of enemy supplies, and more than Silesia has established its political and diplomatic advantage, here we attack once and for all to destroy the Imperial Army and even mount a counter-invasion operation against the Empire. That way, it was also possible to recapture the former Silesian territory once taken by the Empire in the Second Silesian Split War.

However, it was Lieutenant General Herman Yogihes who gave a cautious argument against this.

"I also think the opinion of the Chief of General Staff makes sense. But we don't have enough power and room for a barracks just to reverse invade the empire. As it stands, we're struggling with an attack on Atheni."

"Lieutenant General Yogihs is cautious. But eventually the Imperial Army will starve. Even if counter-invasion is impossible, isn't it possible to destroy the 20 divisions of Atheni?

"I can't help it. But what are we going to do with it? Perhaps the Empire guys will come to us with an offer of reconciliation. Conditions are the liberation of the occupied territories and the restoration of the status quo ante. That should be the same whether you defeat the Imperial Army or not. For there will be no reason to make unnecessary sacrifices"

"... I see. Certainly."

This was the logic of politics rather than tactics or strategies in one way or another, but Lieutenant General Yogihes was right in his opinion.

If the Royal Army does not destroy the 20 Imperial Army divisions that stand and cage in Atheni, it will naturally cause damage to the Royal Army as well. But the Imperial Army can no longer afford to keep occupying and pressing for concessions on this part of the country, which already has no will and no population or economic power. If a settlement is reached sooner or later, the Lake Atheni Water Region will be liberated within the bloodless.

Attack operations against the Imperial Army were postponed indefinitely, as Commander-in-Chief Marshal Kiir and Deputy Commander General Lax, as well as the Chief of General Staff, General Willobolski, concurred with Lieutenant General Yogihs' opinion.

Next Jun 14 at 9: 50 AM.

A group, named the mission of the Eastern Continental Empire, visited Guinier while flying a white flag. The mission's representative is Marshal Millii Bakunin. Their aim was to negotiate a truce.

"Our Eastern Empire proposes a truce against your country"

Their attitude was somewhat dignified. Despite calling the Royal Army a "rebel army" until yesterday, many generals were angry that now they had finally begun to treat Silesia like a country. But without pointing it out, Marshal Kiir, who took the seat of truce negotiations, began truce negotiations with the Empire.

Marshal Xyle was seeing behind their dignity that certain emotions were hidden.

The Imperial mission was in a hurry. Though he never put it on a special table, Xyle observed their situation and how they were doing to spot it.

Even when truce negotiations have begun, nothing has been resolved about the supply problems currently held by the Imperial Army. If they retreat now, they can rendezvous with reinforcements at critical times when supplies run out or never run out. But the Imperial Army starts to starve if the negotiations continue and the situation continues that it cannot retreat from the army.

The Commander-in-Chief, Marshal Kiir, and the Chief of General Staff, General Willobolski, confirmed the situation of the Imperial Army and blasted a slightly adventurous demand on the Imperial Army.

"The complete withdrawal of imperial forces occupying Silesia, and the non-stationing of imperial forces in the former Silesian Valavillier and Ludamina adjacent to the Lake Atheni Water Region. This is the condition."

Valavillier, where the Imperial Army supply base was located, and Ludamina, an imperial territory southeast of Fort Tartak, was formerly the former Silesian territory taken by the Empire of the Eastern Continent during the Second Silesian Split War. Xyle said, "Those two lands are permanently occupied by Silesia, which means leave them free to concede."

As for Xyle, I could have had that demand kicked by the Empire separately. However, he took the attitude of "I forgive you only for the assignment of Valavillier and Ludamina" while making it look like there was room here.

Even as an empire, there is no need to adhere to Valavillier and Ludamina. The same is true of what was originally Silesian territory, because it was an area with only so much population and economy that it would not hurt to lose more than that.

Marshal Bakunin replied, "I cannot give you an immediate answer," initially stating that "the conclusions will be carried over after tomorrow". But even in the meantime, the supplies for Fort Tartak are decreasing. Bakunin got here and had to admit defeat.

hours after Xyle's suggestion. The Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army, Marshal Bakunin, agreed to a complete withdrawal from the Lake Atheni water region, as well as the garrison movement of Valavillier. With regard to Ludamina, however, he said that he would be "on hold" and that he would try to settle in future political negotiations between the two countries.

Xyle and Wiloborski were satisfied that half of the demands they thought would be kicked went through and endorsed Bakunin's proposal.

June 14, 637 at 2 p.m. Continental Calendar.

It was at this time that the truce, to be known as the "Guinier truce agreement", was concluded.
