Chapter 723 17.01 A week of shocking changes

In the southern part of the empire, Ludis was at the headquarters of the First Uprising Corps, which was also the Marshal's Mansion appointed by the "New Duma" in the sky.

In this room, all the lights became brighter as the concept field of the hero units here suddenly operated.

Ludis put down the tall glass wine glass: "What did you say?"

He looked at the man on the interface in disbelief.

Enma said leisurely: "The imperial general Henry has been annihilated by our army. He committed suicide in front of me, and his guards were also captured by me. Next is Minlar. You will know the latest news almost tonight."

In order to prevent him from not believing it, Enma released the picture of Henry's final defeat. On the dilapidated steel mobile fortress, Henry, the old general of the empire, was exhausted under the siege and turned into fireworks and spontaneously combusted.

Ludis stared at the "comrade" in the conceptual communication, with a complicated tone: "I can't believe you." (He didn't want to believe it. If what Enma said was true, it would mean that Iron Star had become the strongest rebel army in the empire)

Enma: "Oh, I understand. But when you are sure, can we immediately start a new project?"

Ludis: "Do you also want to participate in the (Reformists) negotiations between us and the Empire" - in his opinion, Enma's battle was enough to force the Empire to make major concessions.

Enma waved his hand: "It's too early to negotiate with the Empire, Ludis, let's talk about new cooperation projects first."

Enma unfolded the map, marked the current location of the Princess Guard coming out of the Imperial Capital, and now marked a point that can be teleported. This location is just in front of the Princess Guard's path, which looks like a robbery.

Master Wei said the name of this big project: "Kidnap the Princess".

Ludis narrowed his eyes, staring at Enma, confirming the intentions of this old friend.

Enma looked at him and said with emotion: "In today's situation, you always keep your troops inactive, which is wrong." The meaning is very simple. Even if you make a feint and contain the Empire, we are still teammates in the same trench.

Ludis paced twice, looked at the map, and nodded: "This time, I will be the main force in cooperation."

Enma smiled and nodded: "That's natural."

... On this day, Enma shook the ladder of fate and tied the red line that tried to tie himself to the "black line" of his enemy to make a dead knot...

Let others tie the princess, and mobilize forces to continue to encircle the main corps of the Empire.

On September 9, at night, Minlar ejected half of his body from the "submarine hatch" of the heavy vehicle, looking at the dust around him, his eyes were dull.

He had just escaped from the encirclement a few hours ago, and now he was trapped in another encirclement. In the sky was the Iron Star Alliance airship, and in front was the "Energy Destroyer" tank that intercepted head-on. These chariots were obviously the troops that blocked him in Blue Birch Bay a few hours ago, and now they suddenly appeared in front of him.

After the adjutant turned on the identification system and confirmed the vehicle body numbers, he collapsed on the spot and said: "Impossible, they are clearly behind."

When the pursuers suddenly appeared strategically in front, the imperial army that had escaped at this time collapsed. I think this is completely unrealistic.

Of course, Minlar thought of something, and he invested his perception into the etheric world to observe the "enemy's actions" in the distance.

Four minutes later, this "trapped" imperial general confirmed the circular space ripples spreading out in front of him in the etheric world, and he murmured: "Collective teleportation".

Among all the super skills, the only super skills that can be called strategically significant are "holy repair" and "group teleportation".

This skill officially shows that there are heroes at the level of generals among the rebels in the empire.

However, a cluster of artillery did not give Minlar time to think. He could only drive his armored forces to the basalt rock platform four kilometers away.

…The shining red star, like a deadly dart, quietly chased the embarrassed Imperial Griffin,…

At 11:23 at night, the Iron Star Rebellion successfully surrounded Minlar's remnants in the place called Shuibutai, which is a rocky platform of an extinct volcano.

At the same time, Minlar in the encirclement was already in a state of panic, because he had sensed the "fall of the general star" of General Henry in the etheric world.

The Iron Star was like a wave, besieging the "isolated island" where Minlar's remnants were located

In the war, the Iron Star often gave priority to seizing various high grounds, but only this high ground, allowing Minlar to retreat to it. This is because this high ground has a fatal problem for the defenders, that is, lack of water!

This is a big pit that young generals who "must seize every high ground" will always encounter, and Ma Su has suffered this loss. Talking about war on paper means sending troops by looking at the map, and field reconnaissance is very important. The Empire's heavy mechanized troops are nuclear-powered, and they may not need fuel, and the food they carry can last for a long time, but the only thing is water, which is fatal.

Enma made sure that Minlar was forced to the bubble platform, and immediately unfolded the backup map.

Enma dug a super anti-tank trench around. The militia organization in the Farmers' Association arrived with an excavator and dug a large trench with a standard width of 30 meters and a depth of 5 meters.

After digging, let the Iron Star Second Line troops garrison here and prepare a large amount of wire-pull anti-tank firepower. That is, a 500-kilogram remote-controlled mine. This big pit was prepared for the Empire in advance.

This is a preparation for a long-term siege.

As for outside the encirclement, Iron Star maintains a large and heavily armed group. This strategic deployment situation! It is to "strike for aid".

The closest heavy military group in the empire to this place is the Sugamat Group in York City. As well as the Luoxi Group in Pangke City.

... Enma counted the time until the Anglo troops in the north would activate, and even wanted to call for reinforcements. I’m also planning to go to the south to do something...

After being held back by other so-called "party members" in Swan City.

Enma's impression of the reformists in the Southern Liberation Zone: They have never been considered a qualified ally. They always think that they are smart, take the position of flag bearer themselves, and make self-righteous "arrangements" for other teammates in their own expediency. .

Enma: "However, the ability of these people to engage in politics and build momentum cannot be ignored. We may not be able to cooperate strategically with them, but their influence cannot be ignored."

Enma decided to arrange something for them to do in advance. Focus the political attention of these party members in the South on the "Empire" instead of snatching the fruits of victory from the Iron Star afterwards.

After Enma completed the siege of the Minlar Group. The electromagnetic teleportation array was deployed and began to teleport towards the Ludis troops in the south. This was "single penetration", teleporting through a single vehicle connected to itself. The energy consumption is much smaller, and the arcane interval is much smaller.

This time, two days after traveling south alone, I can teleport back for the second time. Of course, even if the car breaks down, Enma can ensure that his people can get back.

All in all, the "Kidnapping Princess" project allows the Southern Party to temporarily maintain a united front with the Northern Iron Star against the Empire.

In the early morning of September 10th,

In the center of Ludis' armored force, as blue light flashed, a heavy armored vehicle appeared in the spherical dome.

Half an hour later, Enma jumped out of the car and met Ludis.

Ludis' eyes were complicated, but he still smiled and congratulated Enma.

Just as Enma was conducting a series of operations such as encirclement and annihilation, pursuit and encirclement in the north, the empire had been turned upside down. The day before, they were still laughing at the last struggle of the Northern Mud Legs, and then came the news that the Imperial Admiral Henry Star had fallen into Blue Birch Bay.

There is no doubt that this is a super victory for the revolutionaries in the current decline. The reformists who were originally weak at the negotiation table suddenly have the confidence to speak loudly again.

Ludis brought Enma into the combat command room and began to implement the combat plan of "Intercepting the Princess".

But when Ludis and Enma were discussing, an aide next to Ludis was thoughtful. But then he passed the small note to an orderly and asked him to take it out.

Enma looked at the departing adjutant,

Ludis reminded: "These are all my people now."

Enma nodded in understanding.

Ludis is surrounded by informants from the southern moderates.

When Ludis used force to force the southern bureaucrats to stand against the empire, he just dragged these people into the water. As for after the water, this group of people secretly formed a group and tried to rebel, which Ludis could not control. of.

Ludis is not a king, and there is no new authority to impose forced orders on the various forces in his reform zone.

…Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Enma doesn’t want to speak out, and Ludis can’t be a dictator now…

Half an hour later, in Yujing Port, a commercial and trading city, the group of reformists held a meeting in a hurry.

Crystal wine glasses, ice cubes and fine wine clinking, these old people who have just adapted to how to "lead reforms" began to comment on the advanced situation.

Regarding the catastrophic changes in the situation in the north and south of the empire at this time, these reformists felt that they had a stage to show off their magical powers.

After repeated negotiations between the various giants of the scattered Sky Duma meeting, the leader of the reformist faction believed that Ludis's current action was necessary. The leader of the faction said: "If we invite Princess Sherry to our Feather Whale Port , then the empire will never rebuke us for betraying us."

These reformists also urgently need bargaining chips to negotiate with the empire, so they support Ludis' current actions.

Because they have no control over this matter, they can only participate through "support" and show that they have leverage when negotiating with the empire.

Wei Keng commented: This is an old trick of political thugs and white wolves.

Just as Enma and Ludis went to intercept the princess, the reformist envoys who were conducting a new round of negotiations in the imperial capital began a new round of operations.

Guleri, a member of the reformist party, and the imperial aristocratic friends with "good personal relations" in the imperial capital revealed a piece of important news, that is: "The Northern Iron Star Army besieged Minlar, but the Iron Star general was not there. The North is already in talks with Ludis in the South.”

...Afterwards, Enma complained: "Being a teammate with you guys makes me so angry"...

This group of reformists from Yujing Port didn't reveal any information about going to rob the princess, but they sold out all the rebels in the north. This is why Mr. Wei didn't dare to go with them.

In the imperial capital, the regent immediately issued an order after receiving the intelligence from the frontier, telegraphing the Sugmat Group in York City to rush to the rescue immediately!

The reason why the Prince Regent acted like this was that he had to make up for his early strategic mistakes.

The loss of a general during the suppression of the mud-legged rebels in the north was a bolt from the blue for the empire, but if he lost another general one after another, he would not be able to bear it no matter what.

Even if Enma did not leave the front line, the imperial capital was sure that Minlar was still holding on, and he also had the hope of "turning the tables".

The regent now looked forward to joining forces with the two imperial armies in the north, breaking the encirclement and attacking from the front and back, and inflicting heavy damage to the northern rebels in one fell swoop.

In short, the regent had lost a lot of money and wanted to gamble, and win a hand to stop the loss. And he thought that his stake was high, and he could not lose if he played more mines!

The regent's original words on the map: "The rebels in the farming area just fought a bloody battle with Henry and were severely damaged. Now it is their last breath. At this time, our new forces will join in and we will surely win a great victory. Annihilate the enemy leader and inform General Henry's spirit of the kingdom of God."

[The regent did not know that General Henry's soul consciousness was not in the kingdom of the god of steam at this time, but was absorbed into the "information space" created by the white spirit deer. Oh, strictly speaking, the industrial godhood was created by Enma, and the space managed by the white spirit deer was highly consistent with the rules of the multiverse and belonged to the 'industrial kingdom of God'. When it comes to snatching souls, the God of Steam has nothing to say.]

… Before the old ship sinks, it will form a vortex of fate to engulf the passengers on board…

On September 11, in York City, Sugmat looked at the telegram sent by the Empire, exhaled a long breath, looked at the north, and said to his daughter beside him: "Mikael, please tell me the divination."

Mikael paused slightly, she was very surprised, because her father never cared about "mystery".

Mikael did not ask, opened the crystal ball, and began to connect to the etheric world, but after she closed her eyes, her brows frowned, and then she was in great pain, and finally suddenly flickered, and the crystal ball broke.

Mikael, who was pulled up by her father, held her father's hand: "Dad, don't go, I'm afraid." Just like a little girl.

Mikael did not see any future scenes, but in the ether field, she saw a dazzling existence rising in the north of the empire. If her father wanted to go to the north, regardless of whether it could be agreed militarily, attacking this scorching land with a decadent army was like waving an ice sword in a summer furnace.

…Toot, toot, the cuckoo clock in Mikael's room rang. …

Sugumat finally left. He sat in his knight-level chariot and looked back at York City behind him. The various machines in York City seemed to have become rusty as he left.

Sugumat sighed. He believed in his daughter's prophecy. Since the empire decided to get reinforcements from Anglo-Saxon, the empire had few opportunities. If the radical rebels within the empire could not be suppressed, the internal morale would not be able to gather. But now, it happened that a genius appeared in the northern uprising army. The empire was really in danger in this battle.

Sugmat was immersed in the etheric world, sensing the power of steam, and couldn't help begging the God of Steam: If this battle can be won, then he is willing to sacrifice his soul and become a piston that runs forever.

The god seemed to have received his response. Half an hour later, when crossing the river, the boiler of his armored vehicle leaked, and the entire tank machinery had a serious malfunction. (The god couldn't bear to see him send someone away)

Sugmat came to the steam turbine and saw the crackling, aging and leaking steam pipes, and the maintenance personnel who were sweating and busy repairing the power. Hearing the maintenance personnel say that it would take at least forty hours to repair, Sugmat's face was livid and he said, "Only give you twenty hours!"

However, after walking out of the vehicle cabin and looking at the gray distance, he said sadly in his heart: "The Empire is finished" (because even if he stayed for twenty hours, he would definitely miss the battle.)

... This is the darkest moment of the Imperial Army, but the Empire's next focus is "being disgusted"...

The perspective came to the east, September 10th at 1:10 noon.

According to the intelligence provided by Enma's detection satellite, the Ludis troops completely blocked the princess who was trying to escape from the empire. With a series of anti-aircraft propeller self-destruct aircrafts, they launched ultra-long-range raids.

Note, under the concept of energy tunneling, no heavy rocket nozzle can withstand the burning of fifteen seconds, so to destroy it from seven or eight kilometers away at a height of several thousand meters, it can only rely on propeller missiles. These missiles are manned, and they drop the warhead after approaching, and then the aircraft returns the same way.

Enma watched the "Bat Squadron" under Ludis ignite the kerosene engine in the sky, silently thinking about the importance of close-in defense guns.

Under today's airship technology, this kind of bomb-throwing mission is very dangerous, and the ammunition is easily detonated in advance by the energy barrier of the airship, so it often takes dozens of them to blow up the hull of a heavy airship.

If you can't blow it up! The airship takes time to repair the hull, then your life will be in vain.

Ludis's air assault force successfully approached the princess's airship force this time, because Enma provided stealth services to this wave of assault forces, allowing them to contact under a large optical lens.

By the time the observation angle on the airship saw this wave of assault aircraft, it was too late. The huge airship burned from the air, the shell melted, and began to lose air pressure and fall.

At the same time, the armored forces responsible for escorting on the ground were also surrounded by Ludis's heavy armored forces.

...The white jade-like airship in the sky, due to the leakage of heat, was like a falling swan. ...

This unit from the imperial capital did not seem to be prepared to fight against a strong army. Its leader, the hero Irina, was only level two.

Her skill is the first-level "wide-area energy supply" (providing excess kinetic energy to the mechanical target engines within a 15-kilometer ground range and a 50-kilometer sky range.)

The first-level summons steel puppet warriors (folded steel skeletons and artillery, extracting iron-containing materials from the deep earth to form combat puppets, but the first-level puppets are only 70 tons)

However, facing the rebels, Enma and Ludis, this 7,5 configuration, Irina, a second-level hero, is not enough.

With the blessing of Enma's halo and the temporary war factory thrown by Ludis, the rebels began to launch a besieging war against the imperial legions after they fell to the ground.

Rows of robots from Ludis rushed over, and the imperial defenders' artillery hastily opened fire, and the armor was shaken by the recoil.

Even though the imperial troops had exhausted their "resistance faith", as a guard of honor, they lacked war experience.

The spider robots approached in the dust of the shock wave, and like termites gnawing at wood, they used thermite to drill holes in the hull of the imperial knight-class land ship, breaking the armor.

In the imperial fallen sky defense line, the airship maintenance had come to a halt. Seagate escorted the princess out of the steam splash danger zone. However, before they got off the airship, they happened to see that among the rebels on the periphery, Ludis's skill "Puppet Robot" suppressed their own battle defense line. The artillery fire had defeated the imperial escort land warship.
