Chapter 511 The general attack begins
Although Ryan had already expected the fall of the Shuanglong Bridge when he heard that Lufas was under house arrest in disguise at Olux Fortress, he did not expect that the time for Elbarrea to persist would be so short.
"Huh~"
Ryan looked at the panicked messenger and patted his forehead with headache, "Forget it... Let's discuss the subsequent response first."
The consequences of the fall of the Shuanglong Bridge are quite serious. There are endless barn plains around Keldick, and there is basically no danger to defend. Retreat to Vallahart is also a helpless move.
Moreover, the trading town Kyldick has accumulated a large amount of food and various supplies that the Fourth Mecha Division urgently lacks.
After taking this place, the Fourth Mecha Division, which had originally launched a deadly counterattack with one last breath, could come back and steadily pose a threat to Tolista, a town near the suburbs of the imperial capital, and Vallahat.
Earl Florard thoughtfully held his chin and suggested, "Actually... a big defeat in the east is not a completely bad thing."
Ryan reached out to signal to Earl Florard to continue, but Ryan and other members of the advisory group had basically guessed what he meant.
"We can use this crushing defeat to hold the Elbarrea family accountable and greatly weaken the military power of the Elbarrea Duke."
Earl Florard reached out and pointed on the map on Ryan's desk, "The Emerald Guards are still left to the Elbarrea family to defend themselves. Due to the re-active HMP, we can mobilize the Guards to the Tolista area to station."
"Also, since Lufas's guards were ordered by his father to station at Olux Fortress, let them stay."
Ryan pondered for a moment, "Will you use the defense of the Jade Public Capital as an excuse to leave Lufas's personal guard in Kluchen State?"
This proposal was unanimously agreed in the vote of the advisory group, and was successfully passed when it was submitted to the General Staff of Patanguai.
After the Battle of Shuanglong Bridge, the news of the nobles' defeat was soon spread to all parts of the empire by the merchants and people who fled from Kyldick.
The reformists who had been suffering from full suppression before were injected with a shot of heart-boosting by this good news. According to the report of the Imperial Capital Gendarmerie, there were some signs of undercurrents in the originally calm imperial capital.
With the frontline coverage of the Empire Times, more details of the battle were revealed.
Red Winged Karejas and Tolz NCO Academy played a decisive role in the assault on the Shuanglong Bridge.
It was under the leadership of the Knight of the Grey and Class 7 that Fiona was rescued by the students of the Officer Academy, the command of the Shuanglong Bridge was broken, and the front line was also defeated under the fierce attack of the 4th Mecha Division with high morale.
Regarding the Red Wing's operation, neither Ryan nor the top leaders of the Noble Alliance made any comments. After all, Elbarrea had a reasonable loss first, so no wonder Elliot would sneak into the fortress with the help of his classmates to rescue his sister.
On December 24, the general attack of the Noble Alliance was officially launched.
Although the fall of Shuanglong Bridge the day before suffered some blow to the morale of the territorial troops on the other three fronts, it quickly returned to normal under the encouragement of their respective generals.
The other three major territorial states had already prepared some preparations when they heard that the Duke of Elbarrea made a despicable act of kidnapping the hostages. Many nobles were despised by the Duke who corrupted the morality of the nobles.
The noble alliance, which had breathed a sigh of relief, launched a fierce attack on the regular troops on their respective fronts almost at the same time.
The Nothia State Army under Rognahou's command, backed by the RF Group and Lure, occupied the advantage of military supplies and supplies.
They had a fierce confrontation with the Third Mecha Division led by Lieutenant General Sykes Vander.
The "one-eyed" Sykes, known as a wise general, made full use of the complex terrain of the Aisingert Mountains, and the stalemate between the two sides on the northern mountain front seems to be unable to be broken in a short period of time.
At the southern Drake Noll Fortress, after receiving Lane's warning, Marquis Haynes finally put away his previous paddling attitude.
After one-third of the troops were distributed to garrison the Sixth Mecha Division of Palm's defense against Tetas Gate, Hayneshou threw all the remaining Schalrant state troops into the siege of Drake Nore Fortress.
This strong fortress is firmly stuck between the imperial capital and St. Tyak. Once the Drakenore Fortress is broken, the territorial army of the Schalrant State, which is connected to the imperial capital, can support the other three fronts.
However, the most popular one is still the Western Front. Under the leadership of General Aurelia and Brigadier General Wares, the elites of Lamar State launched a wave-like attack on the Cromwell defense line.
Coupled with the infiltration initiated by the West Wind Brigade and the Imperial Liberation Front, the regular army led by the Seventh Mecha Division was very difficult to resist.
Crow's Cang Knight God performed extremely well on the front line. Ordinette led the way through the air and broke into the enemy tank group and destroyed it, which caused a huge blow to the morale of the regular army.
Compared with the temporarily calm east, the other three fronts entered a full-scale battle on the day the general attack was launched.
When Ryan held Qiya and stood on the wall on the west side of Heimdal, he could vaguely hear the rumbling cannon sound from the direction of Cromwell in the west.
"how's it going?"
Ryan smiled and asked to the empty side, "Did Lufas and Yartina have any abnormal behavior?"
"Yaltina's behavior is very normal, but Lufas..."
A beautiful woman in purple dress suddenly appeared on the empty city wall. Her tight oriental costume was a little stretched by her good figure... she was Lixia, who was sent by Ryan to Kluqin State to monitor Lufas.
While taking Qiya from Ryan who wanted her mother to hug her, Lixia smiled and reported, "Lufas' behavior obviously does not match your shrewd and steady evaluation of him."
"As soon as he led his troops to Kluchen State, he went to the Duke's Mansion alone. When outsiders could not observe it, Lufas strongly asked Duke Elbarrea for command, and in the name of your commander-in-chief."
"Ha~" Ryan added sarcastically, "I understand. Mr. Elbarrea, who has long disliked me, will definitely explode. Lufas "just happened to be demoted to Olux Fort at a critical moment by his father to reflect on his reflection?"
Lixia nodded, "That's true, although from the perspective of ignoring outsiders, the fall of the Double Dragon Bridge was purely a decision-making mistake of the Duke of Elbarrea himself."
"But combined with your previous suspicion of Lufas... his actions seem more deliberate and targeted."
Ryan lowered his head slightly and pondered for a moment, "Where is Lufas now? Have you returned to the imperial capital?"
"Well, he and I left by transportation almost at the same time, but I was passing the train and he should have arrived earlier than me when I was on a special airship, but..."
Lixia frowned slightly and reminded with some concern, "When he took Altina to the airship, he was in a very bad mood. It should be because the senior leaders of the noble alliance deprived him of half of his military power."
"Hmph!" A cold light flashed in Ryan's eyes. "How could such a dangerous traitor keep his personal guards around the imperial capital?"
"Just, Rebs' other half of the Guards were also pushed to the front line. Let me see how much they can play in the Battle of Cromwell, maybe..."
