Chapter 86 The Empire wants to negotiate (1)

After conquering the city's center, the contingent forces crossed the border of the province of Ryducia to assign their garrison to the allied infantry division.

There were no obstacles to conquering two cities in succession and stopping the landing army heading towards the central city of Ryducia.

“Two thousand elite Liberation Army troops from the province of Ryducia have joined us. ”

Jung Cheol reported as he entered Seong-jun's barracks. An amphibious force that defeated 150,000 Ryducia troops watched for a chance to attack while surrounding the city.

“Enough power to take down the central city of Liducia. It wouldn't matter if we started attacking right away. ”

Jeongchul said in a confident voice. There were over 5,000 elite troops who could mobilize immediately.

By comparison, according to Luto's Liberation Army informant, there seems to be less than 20,000 armed forces guarding the main city of Rydusia. Then it means that there are fewer elite troops.

“I think we should start attacking now, too. ”

Luto, who was brewing tea in the corner of the barracks, also empowered Jeongchul's opinion.

They were both deputies of Hyunjoon for the Landing Army and the Liberation Army. So I had frequent exchange of opinions and seemed to become close to him.

In the case of communication, there was no problem because Jung Chul learned this language from Han Seok. He had a good head and was able to learn this language quickly.

“Is that what Lord Ruto thinks? ”

Jeongchul asked carefully. He also learned a little from Seongjun, so he naturally used the name 'Kyeong’.

“Yes. The Liberation Army's intel indicates that the Imperial forces have reached the border in the region of Ryducia." ”

“We must conquer the Central City before we can gain an advantageous position in future battles. ”

“Sort of. ”

Seong-jun was calmly listening to the two people talking in this language and organizing his thoughts. He takes the cup of tea that Luto gave him and opens his mouth.

“The plan of attack remains. ”

I've gone through the simulation several times in my mind, but I think it's also a good idea to use the attack plan that I used when attacking Ropes and Arencia.

“Reports say a large force has been stationed at the walls of the central city of Liducia for nearly 24 hours. Is that okay? ”

“That doesn't mean we can't fire on the city. It's for the best now. ”

Shin-cheol expressing his concerns cautiously, but Seong-jun shakes his head and replies. So far, the cities have been given the same strategy, so it seems that the main city of Lidura is preparing itself. It may not be as easy as it used to be, but there was no other way.

I wanted to stop the madman from ignoring the existence of ordinary citizens and shooting at the city.

“When is the deadline? ”

Jung-cheol asked. Seong-jun's gaze was on him.

“What's the status on the elite troops? ”

“Perfect. We can make our move tonight. ”

It seemed to be prepared to act at any time. Seong-jun nodded and opened his mouth with a satisfactory expression.

“The Imperium is moving fast, so we'd better get moving tonight. No objections?”

“Of course.”

“Nothing.”

The only people who agreed was the train and the ruto, but I was confident that the joint chiefs of the Landing Army Command wouldn't either. Already they were holding it firmly.

“Get it to the Chief of Staff and get it ready. ”

“I understand.”

The train, which was instructed by Seong-jun, moved quickly. As expected, the Joint Chiefs did not disagree.

Thanks to Seong-jun, they won successively in a strange world. Everyone was well aware of that, and now they were following him around because he had almost been defeated by General Jeong's mistake in the beginning of the war.

“The infiltration party is ready. 3,000 total members. ”

When the night came, the train came and reported. The number of infiltrators seemed larger than I thought, but in a certain way, it was natural. Currently, the main city of Liducia has been alternately on high alert to defend its infiltration forces.

This time, it was good to see that the stealth penetration crossed the water.

The Civil War will probably erupt, but it was difficult to disable military facilities and territory with a small number of infiltration troops.

“I'm on the move. The Lord Commander is in charge of the Road Guild again." ”

Seong-jun gave the order. 3000 infiltrators spread out to the northeast, southwest and west. This time it wasn't a stealth invasion.

The moment the red flare flashes, the distraction firing begins. There was no damage to the city because it was a gun aimed only at the wall.

However, it was enough to shake the perimeter of the walls.

“Break through!"

Soon after, the battle began as an army was infiltrating beyond the walls.

He faced an unparalleled amount of fierce resistance when he conquered the Ropes, Arencia and the other two cities of the province of Ryducia.

The infiltrators commanded by Seongjun and the Road Guild defeated the territory first and fired a flare.

Seong-jun, who defeated the lord, supported the subjugation of other armed forces stations along with the guild members.

“Ha, I surrender. ”

“I surrender.”

At first, the resistance was fierce, but over time the situation had been unfavorable to them.

You have no choice but to surrender. 3,000 elite troops are never to be ignored.

Moreover, the command and command systems were also twisted because the lord and command were overwhelmed. Surrender was the best option.

Thus, the main city of Liducia was handed over to the Landing Army and the Liberation Army.

* * *

There were several nobles from the military in the conference room located inside the palace.

“The central city of Liducia has been captured. Now the two continental forces and rebels will reach the capital Phileas just over Porain. What was the Imperial Army doing? ”

The Imperial Horseman, Marquis Anpelico, makes a sharp shot at the Marquis of Renkal, the Imperial Army commander.

The gaze of the other nobles in the military was also focused on Renkal along Anpelico. An impatient Renkal opens his mouth in excitement.

“The Marquis of Anpelico. Do you really think it's that easy to move an army of hundreds of thousands? Imperial forces are not all wizards, they cannot use warp as a group! ”

“I'd say so, but I think the southern slows are too slow. ”

“Now this is the fastest. The Liberation Army is spreading guerrillas everywhere. Isn't it the Secret Service's responsibility that the Liberation Army goes rogue? ”

A fireball appeared to the Special Forces. Earl Ares, a commanding officer listening to a sharp conversation, slowly raises his head.

“Dearly beloved nobles of the military, who do you think was responsible for keeping your necks together last night? Without our Special Forces and the Scouts' peacekeepers, the secret swordsmen of the Liberation Army would have already taken one by the throat. ”

It was early in the Liberation Army uprising. A swordsman attached to the Liberation Army once hid from the inside of an empire, picking the heads of two men who were in charge.

The nobles shudder to think of the nightmares of that time.

“Our special forces are working. I hope you understand that. ”

The flames have faded from the Secret Service. As the conversation did not proceed as intended, Renkal bites his lips hard enough to spill blood.

Ares looks at that wrench and pulls its tail up. It's a light taunt, but Renkal isn't a worthy opponent.

He kept quiet. I felt bad, but I couldn't do anything right now, so I just had to shake my head and pass it on.

“By the way, there are local militias, though they say they did not join the Empire force." Why did they collapse so easily? ”

A nobleman asked indiscriminately. At first glance, it was clear that the nobles of the incompetent empire had only inherited their parents' positions.

“The White Devil's power seems to be stronger than I thought. Not as good as Roquelle in his prime, but he also appears to be top of the 13th. Special precautions required. ”

A senior officer from the Reconnaissance Office replied. He was taking the White Devil's power very seriously.

“The Emperor is coming! ”

The door opens and the Imperial Guard knight rushes in first and shouts. The nobles of the military who were sitting together stood up.

The emperor walked in with Balian, the 13th Knight of the House, from the open gate.

“Empire Army Commander. ”

“Yes, Emperor! Call down anything!”

“What is the number of Imperial forces that cross the border in the province of Liducia? ”

“Additional troops have joined in the South Harbor and are now 300,000! ”

Renkal replies with a vigorous voice. The relationship with the Special Forces Commander or Imperial Horse Master was not so good, but the loyalty to the Emperor was genuine.

“What number do you have when you join forces with the Imperial forces of the province of Forein? ”

“500,000, Emperor. ”

“Excellent. Let's regroup and establish a perimeter in the Forein region. ”

“I understand!”

There was no objection. It was because the emperor was skilled in strategic tactics.

Although it may take a little time to find out that the province of Phileas, where the capital is, is located, Renkal does not disagree with the Emperor.

“Special Forces Commander. ”

“Yes! Descend! Emperor!”

Ares, the commander of the Special Forces, answered vigorously this time. The emperor opened his mouth, sitting in the middle chair.

“What about the front lines with the Royal Alliance? ”

“I'm pushing a little bit. It may be difficult to draw border forces from the Northern Self-Defense Force and the Western Self-Defense Force. ”

“The Southern Self-Defense Force is struggling with the Liberation Army's main force, so it's hard to mobilize.... ”

“That's right.”

Ares nods. The emperor bit his lip slightly. There were a lot of concerns, but there were not a few solutions that could be taken right now.

“Send an envoy first. ”

“Are you willing to negotiate? ”

A nobleman asked. The emperor shakes his head, pulling up the tail of his mouth.

“No, make time. First, send an envoy to buy time and relay heavy weapons orders to the Eastern Guard. ”

“Are you sure? The Commander of the Eastern Guard is Warden Fade, formerly of Rowkel. ”

Ares raises a cautious concern. Unlike the Emperor, he was still suspicious of Fade.

“Since then, Fade has shown his loyalty to the Empire. There won't be any problems. It doesn't matter. Give the order. ”

The situation in the Empire was not good enough to determine the mobilization of the Eastern Guard who had hesitated.
