"This is probably difficult," Vincent Nafle shook his head, "But seeing that Elena has experienced so many battles before but has not used this weapon. This time she was forced to be almost broken by someone before using it, she can know that this weapon was either just developed or has great restrictions. Otherwise, they would have used this weapon to kill the commanders who were against them, and expanded their sphere of influence to the entire province of Ensten."

"You said that if they could really use this weapon at will, they would have killed Sky Hamm and me long ago?" Elliot teased with a smile. But Vincent Nafle was so scared by his words that he hurriedly knelt on one knee and gave a big gift.

"Your Highness, I don't mean that. You are a prince and are born with the ability to seek profit and avoid harm. This weapon cannot kill you."

"Okay, my brother can be killed by Charlie Ronin by train, so what's impossible?" Elliot stood up and walked out of the command center. Outside, the starry sky was bright after the heavy rain, and the night was like a golden brocade embroidered with pearls, with intoxicating beauty.

"You said, how many days can Elena last, what should we do?"

Under the starry sky, the prince's voice became a little casual. Vincent Nafle hesitated for a moment and decided to say something about his own thoughts.

"Your Highness, Eliot is now the only force that stands in front of the Republic of Neglu. The three days they have helped us fight for us will soon wait for the reinforcements of His Majesty the Emperor. It can be said that if we had not had the three days we fought for, we would not have been able to fight against Neglu at all, and we would have almost certainly lost the province of Ensten. So, even if the path Eliot took was different from our philosophy, they also made a real contribution to the guardian of the territory of this country. I think-"

"Do you think you should help them?" Elliot turned his head, his eyes were complicated and unnamed, "Elena is their territory, and they have to defend even if they don't defend. It's better to say it's for the country, it's better to say it's for their small forces. As for reinforcements, even without them, I, Elliot, can't stop the enemy for three days? You underestimate our three guards and yourself. You must know that the only troops that can save this country and defeat the enemy may be the army of our Ankenrien Empire, and there is nothing else!"

Although Eliot did not say it clearly, after hearing this, Vincent already knew Eliot's idea. As a prince, his position and starting point have always been different from generals like Vincent. Vincent is not a stubborn person. Seeing that Eliot was not interested in supporting Elena, he changed his mind and asked another thing.

"Your Highness, if you don't support Elena, how can we deal with Negru? How can we intervene in the battlefield? Moreover, if we don't care about Elena and their technology is taken away by the Negru Republic, we will lose a big deal because of a small loss. You must know that the production capacity and industrialization level of the Negru Republic are higher than our country, and even higher than that of Elena's local workshop. If you really get the drawings of Gastens for the enemy, then His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not be happy..."

"I have my own plans for this matter," Elliot waved his hand and signaled Vincent to be quiet. "Listen, how noisy and beautiful the cicadas in this summer are."

Vincent was speechless by Elliot's sudden disconnection. He shrugged helplessly and calmed down. Prince Elliot also became quiet. As the two became silent, the sound of nature began to gradually rise in the night, slowly surrounding them. The sound of cicadas and crickets rose one after another in the night, like the ocean before the storm, brewing an immeasurable storm in the seemingly peaceful sound.

————————————

Unlike Elena, the Sanctions Mage Tower or His Highness the Prince’s prediction, the command of the Niglu Republic did not have much joy in gaining the advantage of the battlefield, but instead it was a little helpless and panic.

"I say... everyone," the commander of the 21st Army, Loren Maggio, gently tapped the outer periphery of the command room sand table with the long pole in his hand. "Can we stop fighting and settle this matter as soon as possible? Now we have rarely gained an advantage over the enemy. If we don't hold on, there may be problems."

"When the commander dies, don't settle the actual person in charge first, who is still in the mood to take charge of the war?" Levi Slattery, commander of the 19th Army, looked around. "I don't think there is anything to discuss about this matter. Chief of Staff Stefan Schgwa has always followed the commander of the Tai family and has always been the second person in our headquarters. I think there is no problem with him as a temporary commander."

"Address!"

The wound on the 20th Army Commander Byna Frank's face, which was scratched by the enemy's bullet, had already scabbed. The wound moved with his speech, like a blood-colored earthworm lying on his face. "What's the matter to say? I've heard from General Shigwa. I think it's okay!"

"I don't think I can't be so hasty," said the commander of the 21st Army Loren Maggio, to shake his hand and signal to everyone to rest assured. He even ignored the obscure gaze of Chief of Staff Stefan Schgwa's look at him. "General Schgwa is a very good staff officer, I admit that. But when he was the commander of the 12th Army, the great magician was still there, and our country had no chance to fight the enemy at the legion level. To be honest, Chief Schgwa lacked the experience of leading the army and facing the large-scale enemy head-on. Now that we have made such a huge sacrifice, we have finally gained an advantage over Elena. If we lose a great opportunity at this time due to command, who will bear the responsibility? Who will take the blame?"

"What do you mean?" The 19th Army Commander Levi Slattery had a little anger in his voice, "Before the commander's body was cold, are you thinking about seizing power?"

"I didn't say I wanted to be the commander of the stewardship," Loren Maggio shook his hand gently. "I just wanted to say that you must be cautious when choosing the commander of the stewardship, otherwise no one who makes the decision will escape."

"The Chief of Staff has always been a substitute for the top leader. This is a convention of our country's army and it is also the original words written in tactical exercises. If the chief of the army is killed in battle, the command power will be transmitted in sequence according to the level of position and the sequence of power. Why do you still object to such a simple matter?"

Byna Frank, the commander of the 20th Army, saw that Loren Maggio was messing around here and directly brought out the tactical exercises. Seeing that he even took out the regulations, Loren Maggio was embarrassed to refute it again and closed his mouth directly.

"Okay, then let's do it directly according to the tactical practice." Byner Frank saw that Loren Maggio was cowardly and did not want to be troubled, so he directly began to push for the transfer of power. "With the death of the commander of the Tai family, Stefan Schgwa, the chief of staff of the Eastern Front Command, temporarily managed the eastern expedition forces of this glory war, that is, the four armies of the 19th, 20th, 21th, and 22nd armies present, and the 17th and 18th armies who are now responsible for sniping Gastens. James Lester, the commander of the 22nd Army, was attacked and died by the enemy and could not vote. Do the three armies present have different opinions?"

"No", Levi Slattery, commander of the 19th Army, nodded.

"Whatever", the commander of the 21st Army, Loren Maggio, looked at the ground without expression.

"I have no objection, either." Byner Frank finally emphasized his opinion, and then handed over the command to the commander-in-chief Stefan Schgwal.

"Commander Schgwadai, now the scepter of the war is handed over to you. Please tell me how to attack next."

Stefan Schgwa was wearing a bloodstain from the Tai family. For some reason, he did not change the dress. The nearly sixty-year-old veteran nodded at Byner Frank and directly threw out his plan.

"In the next step, the tactics of the commander of the Tai family have proved to be effective. We should continue to attack according to the commander's plan. As for the acting commander of the 22nd Army, William Branagh, the chief of staff of the 22nd Army, according to the tactical rules, will be served as the chief of staff of the 22nd Army."

"The mission will be completed and the mission will be fulfilled!"

A thin middle-aged man stood up and saluted. Several commanders present nodded at him and then looked at Stefan Schgwa. It doesn't matter who the commander of the 22nd Army will do it. What matters is tomorrow's battle, who will take the lead.

"As for the specific combat troops," Stefan Schgwa still knew the situation of the six armies in the entire Eastern Front Command. The 17th and 18th armies are the direct line of the Tai family, and they listened to the words of the Tai family the most, so the Tai family dared to send them to play hide-and-seek with Gastenth. The commander of the 19th Army and the 20th Army was the head of the Tai family, so they would naturally support him. The 21st Army is also the direct line of the Tai family, and it is also the killer weapon left by the Tai family in their hands. After these three days of attack, the 21st Army was one.

The next time he didn't go to the front line, the most well-preserved combat power of the Eastern Front Command. If you want to say that there is no selfishness of the Tai family, Stefan Schgwa is the first to believe it. As for the 22nd Army, he was swaying between the Tai family and himself before, but the fence-bearer is now dead. The newly promoted William Branagh is a relatively rigid person. With tactical skills, he will definitely not disobey his orders. Judging from these situations, it is obvious who will be the leader tomorrow.

"The 19th and 20th armies have suffered heavy losses in the past two days, and have also made great contributions to our capture of Elena. Tomorrow, the 21st Army will first launch an attack, use an elite army to break through the enemy's defense line and avenge the commander of the Tai family. General Loren Maggio, do you agree?"

"I'm fine."

Loren Maggio was listless, and he obviously realized that this was a personal revenge from Stefan Schgwa. However, when the commander of the Tai family was dead, he did not have enough confidence to challenge Stefan Schgwa. Therefore, he had only one choice left, that is, accept the order and lead the army to fight.

"Very good," Stefan Schgva nodded, "Support a thousand days of troops, and use a short time. The sacrifices and battles of the 19th and 20th Army in the past three days have laid a firm foundation for our victory. I hope General Maggio can continue his efforts, turn his advantages into victory, and break through the Luoshan intersection for our Republic of Negru as soon as possible!"

More than a dozen senior generals present all applauded. Loren Maggio had no choice but to stand up and express his opinion again before he did it.

"Next, let's discuss how the enemy's weapon that can kill our officers at a very long distance. What do you think?"

The topic finally reached this point where I couldn't escape. After the commander of the Tai family was killed in front of everyone, the enemy's weapons had left a deep psychological shadow on the senior generals present. As generals who had entered the top of the army, no one imagined that they would die in a frustration like the Tai family Bush. Therefore, everyone's discussion on this issue was enthusiastic and sufficient, and the conclusion was obvious.

All the generals unanimously decided to abandon the front-line command tower and set up the command center of the Eastern Front Command in the rear base camp. At the same time, a special person was arranged to observe the enemy situation on the front-line command tower and report it to the rear in a timely manner. Although this method lengthened the time for information transmission and reduced efficiency, it also ensured that the enemy could not use the beheading tactic again. After that, everyone confirmed the details of the battle the next day, and ended the meeting in the dark night.

"General!"

Leaving the command center, Judy Dafoe, chief of staff of the 21st Army, caught up with his commander, Loren Maggio. "Captain, today's situation cannot stop Stefan Schgwa from taking over power at a glance. Why do you stand up? Otherwise, tomorrow's attack will not be handed over to us."

"Stupid", after leaving the headquarters, there were no other colleagues around, Loren Maggio's expression relaxed a lot, "I won't act like this, will they hand over tomorrow's offensive mission to me? After three days of fighting, Elena has become a shaky and dangerous building that may collapse at any time. At this time, whoever goes up and kicks the last kick will be the biggest beneficiary. If I follow them, the old guy Schgva will definitely give tomorrow's combat mission to the 22nd Army. I think his reason is to report that unlucky guy James Lester.

Qiu. Isn’t the one who balances power in secret? Now that I’m making such a fuss, they definitely want us to go up and consume first, and then eat peaches for themselves. But fighting is easy and difficult to get up. We went to the front line, combined with the surviving steam cannons, and directly killed the enemy in one breath, put this great contribution into the pocket. It’s best to be able to control Elena’s technicians and drawings in front of everyone. At that time, with the most important bargaining chips in hand, even if the commander dies, what can they do to us?"

"General, wise!" Judy Dafoe saw that Loren Maggio was prepared for a long time, and the tone of the conversation changed immediately. "General, wise, I didn't even see it!"

"That's right, if you can see, how can I fool those geniuses?" Loren Maggio was in a clear mood. "Tomorrow morning, I will notify the 1st Division and the 2nd Division to be prepared. They will shoot the first shot and the 3rd Division will be the reserve team. I will tell you to fight seriously and don't care about your life. I will directly take down the Luoshan intersection. I will have their benefits!"

"good!"
Chapter completed!
