Chapter 85 The Beginning of a True War (2)

“Our troops are also stationed in Arencia. I was roughly told how the first battle of the amphibious forces went, and I don't know who the top commander was, but it was amazing. I didn't expect to win against a large empire army that was fully prepared. ”

Luto did not spare the compliment. I smiled at Seong-jun's mouth. The high commander of the Landing Army, the commander, was him.

Luto admired that the imperial army in a state of battle was invincible.

“We didn't do much damage on our end. ”

I needed moderate humility.

“But you won the battle, didn't you? The Royal Alliance has only been defeated so far and has only recently started to counterattack. You can be a little more proud. ”

“I'd say we've been promoted, but the whole Empire wouldn't have been hit too hard. ”

“Of course. The size of the Imperium Army is unimaginable. ”

Seong-jun, who remembered his previous life as the top 13th Knight of the Council, knew how powerful the Imperial Army was.

Luto also nodded and agreed that a recent victory would not have hit the entire empire.

“Have you set a target for your attack? You're not just going to defend yourself, are you? ”

Luto cautiously asked. Seong-jun took something out of his arms and spread it. It was a map of Arencia, built on his memory.

It was not accurate, but all the terrain that had to be displayed was depicted.

“Well done. ”

I couldn't have built it unless I was an expert in the geography of Arencia. Luto admired the small. Another happy smile spread over Seong-jun's mouth.

“This is where the Landing Army base and the Dimensional Gateway are located. ”

“Precisely.”

Seong-jun pointed his finger at a point on the map. A circular circle was drawn, and inside it was a base. Luto nodded and said yes.

“The Landing Army plans to attack the nearest city. ”

“Then we will attack the Lofty City. Our team will assist you with the elite troops. ”

The relief of elite troops from the Liberation Army was good news. With their support, it will be easier to deal with elite soldiers like the Imperial Special Forces.

“Our Liberation Army has enough elite troops. If the Landing Army defeats the common armies of the Empire, the next battle will be easily won. ”

Luto said in a confident voice. Despite having a small number of elite troops, he thought the reason he was defeated by the Empire Army was an absolute shortage of supplies.

The number of regular troops, as well as elite troops, played a great role in the battle. And the Liberation Army had fewer troops than the Empire.

“You can leave it to our landing troops. Intercept the elite troops who are engaging in the uprising in the form of a Separatist battlefield, and the defeat of the regular troops shouldn't be too difficult. ”

“Leave the elite troop opponent to me. Our special forces will deal with it. ”

The Landing Army's Hunter Army will not stand still. If they support special forces of the Liberation Army, their chances of winning against elite troops of the Empire will be increased.

“When can I join the Special Forces? ”

Seong-jun asked me. I need to know when they'll join us so I can adjust my Ropes city attack schedule appropriately.

“It won't take long. In three long days, our Liberation Army Special Forces will be here. However, the regular troops will take a little longer to mobilize. ”

“If the Special Forces join us, we'd better get moving." ”

It would certainly be helpful if regular troops joined. But that doesn't mean Merritt has to delay the attack's schedule.

“Let's go directly to the command post. I would like your advice on planning an attack. ”

Seong-jun took a step first. Luto follows. Zeros gladly approaches him.

“Long time no see, Lord Luto. ”

“Oh my…… I didn't know Lord Zeros was alive. Of course I thought it would have been purged... …. ”

Zeros, who was the closest thing to Rowkel at the time, was one of the first people to be purged. At Luto's words, Zeros opens his mouth with a faint smile.

“There was a lot going on. ”

They arrive at the command post as they speak. It was a temporary building, but with the help of magic, it appeared quite plausible.

“This is Command. ”

“Excellent. Must have been hard to build in a short time. ”

Luto said, Seong-jun shakes his head with a smile.

“It wasn't that hard. because we have magic. ”

That's enough. Seong-jun takes Luto to the Chief of Staff Operations Meeting. The rest of the Liberation Army and Zeros wait in a nearby barracks.

Ruto was trusting Seong-jun, who led the Liberation Army to victory, so few attendants did not join him.

“Greetings. I'm Colonel Lee Han-kyu, the Chief of Staff. ”

“Luto. I'm in charge of the Liberation Army operations. Take good care of him."

Hangyu was waiting for Seong-jun with a handful of chief of staff in the Operations Conference Room.

He looks at the accompanying luto and asks for a handshake and greets him. Luto introduced himself, accepting the request for a handshake.

Since the languages ​ ​ spoken by the two people were different, Han-Seok was in charge of translating.

“I will begin the Operations Conference. ”

The meeting has begun. Ruto has a lot of information about the Arencia and the Lofts city, like the Liberation Army's Chief of Operations, which has been of little help in planning the operation.

The basic plan to attack the Lofty City has been completed. Two days later, the landing troops marched towards the city of Ropes, leaving only a defensive force in fear of joining 1,000 of the Liberation Army's Special Forces.

“An exotic army is on the move! ”

The dispatcher reports in an urgent voice from the Arencia Military Command.

“What? Where? ”

The district commander asked.

“Lofts City! Your Movement Speed is faster than you think! It looks like you'll arrive in a few days! ”

“Dammit! We move all troops immediately. The troops are assembled and on their way! Something's come up and we have to stop them from taking the city! ”

The Arencia Army has begun to move. They intercepted an army marching towards the city of Ropes.

“Autonomous reconnaissance aircraft have captured the Arencia Regiment. You are currently suspended. ”

It seems that the Empire army has been defeated in the past and is waiting for reinforcement.

“Are you in control? ”

Seong-jun asked. The Chief of Staff called the dispatch officer immediately. The Chief of Staff, who had finished understanding the situation, opened his mouth calmly.

“Firing and missile live fire. ”

“Very well. Hold off the missiles and contact the artillery and prepare to fire." ”

The missile was inefficient due to its high probability of enchanted intercept. A vast artillery battle would be more effective than a Wizard's army would be able to defend itself with magic.

“Yes! I'll get it to you right away! ”

The Chief of Staff answered vigorously. Seong-jun's orders were spread to the artillery via a contact officer and prepared for a firefight.

“Commander! Reports from the descendants that the landing army's deployment has changed! I don't know exactly, but a long-range attack on an ally is expected! ”

A scout was underway by a scout from the Arencia Regiment around the Landing Army. They caught a suspicious change in progress from the landing forces and immediately sent a magical communication.

“It is an unlikely opinion. How do you expect a magical attack if you're so far away? We'll be distracted. We'll hold our ground. ”

The Commander of the Arencia Region has made a firm decision.

“But Commander! ”

“Chief of Staff! We stay where we are! Disturbing progress is what they want! This might already be a maneuver! ”

“Very well. I'll relay the restoration order to the military. ”

Developed between the Landing Army and the Lofty City, the Arencian military did not move according to the commander's orders and held its position.

“There is no movement of the Arencia. ”

“A artillery squad is ready. All you have to do is deliver the order and you can fire. ”

“Prepare to fire. ”

Seong-jun's orders were sent to the artillery via a contact officer.

“Fire in the hole. ”

Commands are being deployed and firing begins. Thousands of cannonballs flew through the sky almost simultaneously aiming for the Arencia Region.

“Bar, cast your defensive magic! ”

A group of wizards cast a defensive spell, but not many wizards were able to handle the entire garrison.

Most of the cannonballs hit the garrison, not the defensive magic.

“Rrrrgh!”

“Ahhhh!”

Screams erupted from everywhere.

“Sa, Commander! The garrison is under attack! Give the order!”

The command was protected by a defensive spell. I cannot be certain how long this defense will last. Moreover, the damage to the garrison has accumulated over time.

“Bar, counterattack! ”

“Our Wizard Squad can't reach the attack! ”

“Oh, fuck! Assemble the cavalry and elite troops now! And the whole army is moving from this fucking firing range! ”

“We'll spread the word right away! ”

Arencia's forces are on the move. But there was something they had overlooked.

It was that the K9 autonomous firing rate operated by the landing force was better than expected.

“The Arencia Region is on the move! ”

“Don't stop firing! Keep firing!”

The firing does not stop. Arencia forces continued to suffer the firing of the K9 sniper rifle.

But they weren't the only ones getting beaten up. A swiftly assembled cavalry is moving quickly towards the landing force with elite troops.

The movement speed of the horse is intense, even with enhanced magic on it. Seong-jun has deployed Armored, Liberation Army Special, and Hunters to the front.

“Front of the tram! ”

A squad of K2 chariots marched in unison. Hunters and elite troops of the Liberation Army escorted the chariot troops.

“Fire!”

Fire in the hole! ”

The chariot squad releases cannonballs without rest. The cavalry has narrowed its path to some degree, and is hit and dislodged.

However, the elite troops directly behind them rush through a powerful network of chariot troops.

“Machine gun fire! ”

The machine gun bursts into flames. It was not enough to stop elite troops belonging to the Special Forces.

“Hunter Squad, forward! ”

Hunters and elite troops of the Liberation Army started a battle against elite troops in the Arencia region.

“Deploy the assault helicopter squadron. Disrupts enemy command. ”

“Come any closer and you'll be exposed to a magical attack. The cover of the Self-Defense Force is not enough. ”

Colonel Lee Han-kyu, chief of staff, pointed out the problem in Sung-jun's direction. Seong-jun nodded and acknowledged.

If I do something wrong, I'm sure the attack helicopter squadron will take heavy damage.

“I think we should fire a missile. While they're trying to intercept, we'll engage the assault helicopter with fire control. ”

Seong-jun revised the plan. Hangyu nods.

“I will request a squadron of attack helicopters from the 1st Infantry. We have an exhibition standby order, so it won't take long to mobilize. ”
