At the top of the Tanggulam Gate, a heroic woman wearing a white general's uniform and with dazzling silver hair, staring at the battle in the hilly areas outside the gate with a calm expression.

There was no one around her, and as a general, she had not seen any personal guards. The empty and silent roof formed a sharp contrast with the battlefield filled with blood and fire below.

Suddenly, a gentle male voice rang out from behind the female general, "General Aurelia, I haven't seen him for a long time. Do you not plan to enter the venue in person to obtain the military honor this time?"

As the magic pattern of the teleportation array on the ground was drawn, a man in a gorgeous dress walked out of the array, and a blonde loli holding a red crystal staff was followed by him... It was probably Loli.

The woman, known as General Aurelia, turned around and bowed slightly while showing a faint smile on her face.

"Young Master Reinhardt hasn't seen you for a while, and I didn't expect you to come to the front line in person."

Ryan stepped to Aurelia and first looked up at the chaotic air battle pattern in the sky.

The huge Patanguai is still floating in the air. With this air fortress as the center, the gunboats of the Republic and the empire's airships are in full swing.

Although there are many black scorch marks caused by shooting on the surface of the Patan Guai, it still maintains relatively complete combat effectiveness at this stage.

Aurelia also raised her head with Lane's eyes. She explained to Lane and Rosay who had just arrived on the battlefield, "Although it looks good from the bottom, in fact, the turret and rocket silos on the front of Patanguai have been destroyed a lot."

"According to the current rhythm of the Republic's offensive, at most half a day, the Patanguai will lose most of its armed forces and can only exist as a pure air fortress, losing its original deterrent power."

Ryan was not panicked by Aurelia's words. He still put his hands on his chest and said calmly, "Support is already on the way, and it is expected to be achieved in another hour."

"It was a mistake for me and the advisory group to fail to predict in advance that the Republic's congress had sent such a large air force."

Aurelia chuckled and shook her head, "Young Master Reinhardt, don't blame yourself. My prediction of Kalwad's combat power before the war was far from reaching the current level. Maybe... it was because some kind of change happened in their country."

Ryan nodded and said, "I guess so, I am verifying through multiple channels. I have notified the Imperial Capital Hall and are preparing to try first whether we can force the Republic to retreat from the diplomatic level."

Aurelia shrugged, "It's hard, after all, Closebell's strategic position is very important to both countries. I don't think Kalwade will swallow his anger and admit the empire's occupation of Kezhou."

"Ha~ I always have to try it first before I know it, by the way... to find out their words."

A glimmer flashed in Ryan's eyes, "If I expected it would be true, President Lock Smith's control over the central government should have changed. As for whether it is strong or weak... it depends on the subsequent information collection."

Rosai had already sent Lisha into the city before teleporting Ryan to Dongulam Gate. She would contact the Black Moon branch, which was still in the Crossbelt after the Civil War, through her own channels.

In addition, Ryan contacted the Imperial Central Government, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first negotiated with the Embassy of Kalwad in Heimdal to find out the other party's attitude this time and see how firm their determination to regain Closebell.

Unlike the air battlefield, the battlefield situation on the ground was almost overwhelmingly dominated by the Imperial Army.

The No. 18's armor and firepower are stronger than the Republic's high-mobile tanks. With the cooperation of mecha soldiers with outstanding mobility, the Republic's ground troops basically have little room for resistance.

If the gunboats in the air would not have supported the ground forces by bombing from time to time, the Republic's army would have collapsed long ago.

Ryan looked at the polarized battlefield in front of him, hesitated for a while and asked, "General, will you and Brigadier General Wares and other generals be dissatisfied with the outcome of the civil war?"

"When the battlefield has the advantage, it has to end up with a draw due to political factors. It should be difficult for soldiers fighting on the front line to accept it, right?"

"Huh~"

Aurelia let out a long breath, she shook her head gently and said, "If I say there is no resentment, it must be a lie, but Vorres and I are not completely unable to understand the actions of the senior leaders of the noble alliance."

With his hands on the steel fence at the edge of the Dongulam Gate, Aurelia said firmly, "We generals are always just 'generals', and our duty is to gallop on the battlefield."

"But there is a 'coach' who controls the overall situation above us 'coach'. Since the 'coach' has decided to negotiate, even if we are dissatisfied, we will still obey the order."

“Besides…”

Aurelia smiled bitterly and said, "As Mr. Kane said, if you continue to fight without regard to His Majesty Yukint's attitude, there will only be two results."

"1: We won the victory when our Majesty was deemed to be rebellious. After the war, there will inevitably be internal strife within the noble alliance due to the life and death of the Yanor clan, and the outcome is unknown."

"Two: Defeated in the war, there is no need to mention it again, it is nothing more than death and death."

Ryan sighed softly and took over the conversation, "As long as the Prime Minister still has His Majesty's full trust, we are unlikely to risk a complete breakup with His Majesty and continue to fight with the reformists, plus..."

Ryan looked at the messy scene beside the Dongulam hills ahead. "The Kalwad Republic will not give us more time to continue to fight within the country. The Prime Minister still forced us to make concessions based on the general trend."

Of course...if you are shameless, you will risk the invasion of the eastern part of the empire and give Klosbeer's first move to Kalwade.

And he made up his mind to simply chop off the emperor's family and usurp the throne themselves. In fact, he could ignore the threat of the prime minister and forcefully tear the face.

But Ryan asked himself that he could not make such a desperate choice, or... no one who has a rational and intelligent understanding of the overall situation would do this.

Moreover, what kind of rebound does Haynes and Rognath, and even the Elbarrea Guild, who has been forced to retire now have a rebound... you can guess it with your butt.

In addition, Ryan speculated that the Prime Minister should have a backup plan to guard against Kane, or... he was confident that he could still control the overall situation in such extreme situations.

...

While Ryan and Aurelia were discussing the overall situation, dozens of Imperial airships led by the Odin finally arrived at the Closebell front.

The commander of the Republic is not stupid. He was able to maintain the situation with his air superiority before. After the empire's air support arrived, there might be a crisis of collapse if he continued to fight.

Under the orders of the senior leaders, the Republic's army maintained a rigorous front and retreated to the border city of Altaire in an orderly manner.

Aurelia waved to the messenger and signaled that there was no need to pursue. This successful defensive battle should undermine Calvad's determination to regain Closebell, and it was also a very positive signal for Closebell, who had just been incorporated into the empire.

"Okay, the crisis on the battlefield has finally been overcome smoothly. Thank you for your hard work, General Aurelia."

When Aurelia returned to Israel seriously, Ryan turned his head and looked deep at the city of Crossbel, which seemed to be prosperous.
