It is not a simple task to catch the giant beast. In the early stage of Elena putting the giant beast into use, people on the front line also wanted to capture one, but failed repeatedly. In the end, the battle was defeated, and no one had the ability or thought. Now, Asher Claflyn wanted to find people and methods to capture the enemy giant beast in the collapsed and defeated troops, which was also not easy.

"This is impossible." Rupert Bush was the first person Asher found and the first person to object to Asher. "That's a giant beast. The 800,000 troops on the front line can't do anything to him. You let us young master soldiers risk their lives to catch it? That's impossible. If I tell you, it's better to retreat quickly. I heard that the fourth, fifth and sixth teams all retreated with the Grand Duke. Our teams one, two and three have no choice but to snipe. You are the captain and the grand duke's nephew. Finding a reason to retreat with the Grand Duke is the best way."

After saying this, Rupert Bush grabbed a soldier beside him and cursed, "What the hell is he still standing there? Find out everything you can find out and build a line of defense. Whether the Grand Duke can retreat smoothly depends on us!"

Asher Claflyn looked at Rupert, pondered for a few seconds, then looked at the busy positions around him, glanced at the front line of the Red Flag, stomped his feet, and turned away. His achievements and position came from the Grand Duke. He originally wanted to seize a giant beast and repay the Grand Duke's promotion. But now, it is probably hanging. Since repaying the favor cannot be accomplished, it is obvious that according to Rupert Bush, saving his life first should be achieved.

Rupert Busch, who was busy setting up positions, turned his head and took a look, and happened to see Asher's back as he left. He cursed softly and joined the battle again.

"Brig Commander, Claflyn escaped!"

On the command vehicle, Taha Senier, the instructor of the mechanized combat brigade, told the brigade commander Hudson Longst. Although their troops were equipped with advanced equipment and advanced concepts, they went deep into the army and suffered a lot of troubles. Although they temporarily gained combat advantages, they must not relax.

"I know," Hudson Longst looked at the map in his hand and pointed his finger at the road east of the town of Frosiva, "Go around and avoid the enemy's positions. They will likely go on this road and escape. We chase after us and take a look. If not, retreat immediately."

"OK!"

Taha Senie did not hesitate and turned around and began to convey the order. Because the protective measures of the manglobe were not as perfect as those of the giant beasts, they had already suffered a lot of losses in the attack just now. Although the enemy had little practical experience, they were well-equipped and had not experienced combat destruction, and were still very combat-effective in the early stages of the battle. Moreover, the enemy's defensive front was not as easy as breaking through. Now the brigade commander ordered a detour to avoid the enemy's position and go straight to his own goal. In Taha Senie's view, it was also in line with his ideas.

"Where are they going?"

Hiding in the temporary defense line, Rupert Bush watched the enemy beast pour bullets in front of his line, and then turned around and left, a little puzzled. If these people don't hit their defense line, would they run?

"No, I'm going to chase the Grand Duke!"

In just a few seconds, Rupert Bush thought of the reason why the enemy turned around. Their monsters are very mobile and their movement speed is not inferior to that of horses. If they give up attacking their own defense and turn around to chase the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke will fall into a very dangerous situation. The troops following the Grand Duke will not establish a defensive position. If they fight directly with the enemy during movement, there will be only one ending.

"Get out of the position and send someone to inform the Grand Duke, hurry!"

After Rupert gave the order, he sent out all the communication soldiers who could be sent around him, and then gathered the team and began to march towards the direction of the retreat of the Grand Duke. Their troops could only walk and probably could not catch up, but no matter what, they had to have an attitude.

————————————

Just as Elena's troops and the defenders of the Grand Duke's Guard were fighting for the fate of the Grand Duke, Henry Claflyn, the great Duke of Ankenryin's army, was sitting on a red flag steam locomotive and running towards the east. His accompanying guard rode his horse to escort his team and walked in front of the large army. The infantry remained behind.

"Gastens is really too cunning. He actually hid such an army. It is outrageous when we lose and rush out and try to capture or kill our commander!"

Although he was in power, when the danger of life and death was close at hand, the Chief of Staff of the General Staff of this battle, the Secretary of Defense Samuel Oldman, was still full of swearing. Claflyn glanced at the Secretary of Defense who was sitting in the car with him and sighed softly. Samuel glanced at him and asked.

"How about it, do you think so? If it weren't for the uneven hearts of the people, there were many constraints in the rear, and the enemy was shrouded in the halo of the great magician, we could have won, right? How could we lose if we fought for 800,000 and 120,000?"

"How can it be impossible to lose?" The galloping Red Flag steam locomotive had a good suspension, and the horse-riding entourage around had to work hard to catch up with the sedan. Henry Claflyn sat in his position and looked at Samuel sitting opposite him.

"Don't believe those rumors. We are not united and have not used our best efforts. But, think about the several wars in history, how many times, and which country can be united? Almost every war, the commander must face various complex situations, and the different voices in the country are just one of them. So, although there are such problems this time, our failure did not arise. Gastens Warren, this man and his communism, is really terrible..."

Samuel Oldman was stunned for a moment. He was just looking for some reasons to excuse his failure, but he didn't expect that the Grand Duke was so honest. He looked at the Grand Duke and asked back.

"Duke, do you really think of Gastens like this?"

"Of course, this kid should not be underestimated. He can endure in the army for so long and not reveal his identity as a great magician until the last moment. This is far from what we can do. No matter what the market says, I only look at the facts in front of me. His Highness Paul Gibson's decision is correct. If we do not destroy Elena now, we will never be able to destroy Elena."

Samuel frowned and did not continue. He didn't know how to respond. Can the mere two provinces, the mere tens of thousands of people and mud legs really become Ankenriin's confidant?

"Don't think so far. This time they attacked Flosiva, but the purpose of not achieving it. Do you think they will give up?"

After saying that, Henry Claflyn opened the window and said to the soldiers beside him, "All of you, continue to go east on the next fork! Samuel and I go straight south, don't come with us, and lead the enemy away!"

"I understand, Commander!"

The soldier saluted and then turned around to convey the order. Henry Claflyn closed the window and glanced at Samuel Oldman beside him, "Don't say I'm too careful. This time, it's a blessing that you and I can escape your life."

————————————

Two hours later, at the fork in the eastern Flosiva road, Elena's mechanized combat brigade gathered on standby. The commanders gathered in the fields on one side of the road to discuss countermeasures.

"What should I do? I didn't catch him in the east, but I caught his guard. After fighting, I was disbanded. Some people said that he fled south from this intersection. Do you want to chase him?"

Taha Senier, the instructor of the Mechanized Combat Brigade, was covered in dust, and there was a wound on his right arm, which was the one he had suffered in the battle just now. He looked at the brigade commander Hudson Longst anxiously, waiting for the next decision.

"It's too late. We've been out for too long. Manniu is still a new weapon. It's great to be able to experiment to this level this time. It's good to not catch Henry Claflyn, and to catch his nephew. And we destroyed their command center and got a lot of documents. It's okay. If everyone has no different opinions, we will withdraw our troops."

"No."

"Neither I."

"It's really time to go back."

Several battalion commanders and Longst had the same idea. Seeing this, Taha Senier shook his head helplessly.

"It's true. Although I still want to continue chasing, I can't take risks. I'll make one mistake in the defense battle of Elena. Let's go back."

"Okay, let's retreat and return the same way. I'll take back several of the bulls that broke down on the road. That's our confidential military equipment and cannot be easily obtained by them."

"good!"

Everyone responded, and the army that had achieved good results when they first entered the battle disappeared in the roar, leaving only pedestrians and vendors watching the fun in the distance, whispering.

————————————

"This battle was pretty good overall. We resisted almost six times the attack against our enemies, wiped out more than 100,000 enemies, and captured nearly 160,000 enemies. This is the most beautiful battle we have fought since the establishment of Ailena. In this battle, I must thank everyone who is sitting, and thank every comrade who participated in the battle and supported in the rear. This is the victory of Ailena, and this is the victory of our communism. I, Gastens Warren, here to express my sincere thanks to everyone for their sacrifice and dedication!"

Gastens on the stage saluted solemnly, and the soldiers and generals under the stage applauded warmly. On the third day after the battle, Gastens and the Communist Party Council held this temporary enlarged meeting of the Communist Party, and the representatives of the participating troops attended the meeting. Due to the tight time, limited conditions, and the many affairs after the war, the meeting was not long, and the location was only chosen in the concert hall of Moon City. Gastens and the Communist Party Council members, as well as several major generals, came to the stage to make speeches one by one. Afterwards, the meeting entered a lunch break. In the afternoon, Gastens and the next stage of the army work.

"Are we really going to continue the attack?" In the canteen at noon, Ivan Warren, who was sitting next to Gastens, asked, "Now the soldiers are very tired, and the base area is also very damaged. This is not a good time to attack externally."

"We must continue to attack," Gastens said while eating, his voice whimpering, "After this failure, Ankenryin will definitely not attack again in a short time. When they attack again, the giant beast will not have such a good effect. Therefore, we must take advantage of the victory to pursue. There are two purposes for the pursuit. One is to force the emperor to abdicate and replace it with an emperor who can live with us peacefully for a period of time. The other is to occupy more territory and strive to push the control line to the front line of the Red Leaf Hills. If it can be achieved, we will lay the foundation for the development in the next five to ten years."

"It sounds exciting," Sink interjected. "My intelligence shows that the dissatisfaction of the upper class in Roswell with Paul Gibson has reached its peak. A coup similar to the Hot Moon incident is likely to happen in the near future. If we send troops, it is possible to push this incident, and it is also possible to let them go of internal conflicts and force them to unite. This effect is not easy to estimate."

"This is a problem," Eddie Warren said. "Although we had reached an agreement at yesterday's meeting, it would be no harm to discuss it again. The matter of sending troops has actually been decided. What we can do now is to think about whether there are any omissions."

"Not necessarily. If you feel it's unstable, we can change it again," Gastens smiled, "After all, one discussion cannot be considered thoroughly."

"The overall strength is OK. Now the enemy's main force has lost its combat power. The remnants of the National Salvation Army stationed on the eastern frontier have almost lost their fighting will. They are desperately making fortifications, but the fighting will is weak. It is actually not difficult to break through their defense line. Now the enemy's troops are empty, compared to our side, we have a strong willingness to fight. And finally mobilized a militia, so we simply took this opportunity to expand the army again, expand the military reclamation army into the Third Corps of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. How about it?" Ivan really thought about it, and the expansion of the army was not in the results of the discussion at the council yesterday.

"We can discuss the expansion of the army again. Let's continue the matter of sending troops. We will announce in the afternoon that an attack will be launched in three days."

Seeing that everyone was not very worried, Gastens made the decision to send troops again. He knew very clearly that Ankenryin's failed attack had opened the door to national unity for him and his Ailena.
