In the northern part of the empire, the ancient fortress "Kinda Gate" bordering the Nord Plateau, was suddenly attacked on a sunny day that seemed normal. The attacker was naturally the leader of the state of Notia.

In the general sense, the leader army, which gives the impression of being spoiled and embarrassed, is different-the leader army of Nautia State is under the leadership of the Marquis Rogner-the young Marquis At that time, he was also a fierce general. Long before His Majesty Yukent took the throne, he was very good at dealing with the disturbances and wars in the surrounding areas at home and abroad. As early as the "Hundred Days War" that year, he was also prepared to send reinforcements to reinforce the imperial army that had been defeated by Cassius. Under the prestigious reputation, the Marquis Rogner is well-known, and the leaders under him can't be inferred from common sense-they have undergone severe training all the year round, and their spiritual will has been polished like steel. In addition, the new guided weapon "Mecha Soldier" has been trained countless times since it was secretly transported. This army is actually a very powerful force.

Facing such an opponent, Lieutenant General Sykes and his third mecha division stationed at Janda Gate naturally did not dare to neglect. While the imperial capital was directly invaded by the flagship of the noble coalition army, the leader of the Nautia state launched an unannounced assault war against Kanda Gate, which was composed of guided chariots and mechs. The vanguard troops of Kandamen have already carried out assaults towards the weakest point of the Kanda Gate, and a large number of heavy artillery and infantry siege troops can also be reached. Facing the pressure of the army, Lieutenant General Sykes did not rush, and after a calm judgment, ordered the immediate abandonment of the defense line outside the fortress, full contraction, and reorganization of defense. While strengthening the fortress itself, Lieutenant General Sykes also sent a large number of small-scale troops to constantly harass the actions of the leader, so as to give himself and the residents of the Nord Plateau who are packing their bags and avoiding the war a little time. .

"Huh, it's interesting." The Marquis Rogner saw the news from the troops ahead—the attack of the vanguard troops was severely hindered. When the mecha troops reached the gate of "Kinda Gate", the opponents were fully armed and completely unarmed. Flaws, if you want to attack, it is very difficult-showing a warlike smile.

"Your Excellency Marquis, shall we... a little more effort?" Seeing the leader sinking into thought, the adjutant on the side offered advice.

"No... don't worry for now. Although Sykes and the others have residents from the Nord Plateau to provide supplies, it is a drop in the bucket after all, and the tens of thousands of people under him can't be supported by a few nomadic villages. Take it away. When the time is up, there will naturally be a chance to hit him badly. However, Sykes is held back here, it does not mean that there is no problem with the rest of Nautia State... You send the order and immediately take someone to check the "RF "Society" quickly brought the entire company under control, and it would be better to capture its chairman as well. "

"Then, what if the regular army takes the initiative to attack?" another adjutant asked.

"Don't begrudge the artillery and the mecha soldiers. Give me my life and fight to destroy the steam mechanism of their tanks. We have controlled many iron mines in the empire. Now the "18th" and the "Mechas" The blueprints are also in our hands. When the situation stabilizes for a while, we will get a steady stream of armed supplements... As for Sykes, his treasured chariot is just one less, it’s hard to return. Can it be changed out of thin air? "

"Understood. I will prepare immediately." The two adjutants respectfully saluted and exited the room where Logner was.

"Huh... The old fox, Sykes, is a little more relaxed than I thought. Although I have no doubt that he can think of many ways to spend with me, it is only a matter of time. The headache is the stupid daughter who suddenly ran away from home a few days ago and didn't know the news..." Marquis Logner frowned.

————————————————————————————

"Your Excellency, our attack was repelled by them again." The adjutant said with a sad face looking at the combat report submitted.

"How many times is this?" Duke Helmut Elbarea, after receiving the report handed to him by the adjutant, he didn't bother to take a look at it, and just threw it aside. "From the morning, you have Have you won?"

"We tried our best... but opposite was a mix of two mecha divisions, among them the "red-haired" Craig... Our brother saw that guy's face... just..."

"Humph." The Duke of El Barrea snorted coldly, and directly caused the soldier in front of him to close his mouth, not daring to speak. It's really a bunch of useless waste, he thought to himself, he didn't know that the "red hair" was so powerful, even the guy Kane knew this, and he added the most weapons and equipment during the operation. ——As a result, after nearly a day, there was not a single victory, and I said that kind of frustrating words.

"Although "Red Hair" is a famous general of the regular army, on the other hand, the Garelian Fortress itself is also the most complete and strong fortress in the entire empire, and even the entire continent... Especially when it is attacked, the "Train Cannon" This is even more so after being destroyed... It is indeed very difficult to cause a decisive blow to them in a short time, so they cannot be blamed entirely. "The old butler of the Duke's house, Arnold, who has been standing aside, said softly at this time.

"What you said also makes sense." The Duke of El Barrea thought for a while, sighed, and said, "It seems that we are indeed short of usable "general talents" to deal with such hard bones. Arnold, go and talk to Rufas, and ask him if he is almost done waiting for him, can he transfer one or two of the celebrities to our side. "

"Well... I'll tell the young master." The butler bowed and stepped back.

"There is... the messenger of Earl Goti? What did you just say?" The Duke of El Barrea planned to entertain the messenger from the Earl Goti's house, but the adjutant The abrupt appearance of Elbarea distracted Al Barrea, who was concerned about the situation of the battle and the stability of the territory. He was just doing what he had done before.

"I..." The envoy looked at the leader of the army officer on the side, looking a little embarrassed, and finally said slowly: "Earl Goti... carefully prepared a banquet, saying that it was in this era of drastic change. , To all the nobles of Kruchin State... well, a little extra confidence. He wants me to personally deliver the invitation letter to you."

"Hmph... this time." The Duke of El Barrea was obviously a little dissatisfied. "I don't have time. You can send the invitation letter back. Rufas is not here either..."

"That... isn't there also Master Juss..." the man whispered.

"..." There was a complicated expression on Helmut's face referring to the second son. For a long time, he still did not agree, just waved his hand hastily, and the future was driven away.

"..." The officer on the side and the old butler looked at each other, obviously not knowing what to say.
