Chapter 87: Arrival and Battle Situation(1/2)
"Didn't you say that we will set off immediately after attending the triumphal ceremony? Why haven't you come yet? That starry sky walk... is really a thing? It should be true... His Highness Ning can open the plane channel, and his son may really be able to plane.
Internal teleportation? But why hasn’t it come yet..."
Under tight security, stars were shining in a vacant space in a military camp.
People from Southern China, Nanyang, Western China, and almost all senior Allied generals gathered on one side of the field. Under the leadership of de Gaulle, they formed a neat square formation, silently looking at the center of the field, but waiting.
What.
De Gaulle, on the other hand, couldn't help but pace anxiously in front of the phalanx.
"General Thrall, General Jaina, did you hear correctly? They said they would come over immediately after completing the triumphal ceremony? Could something have happened..."
Suddenly, he turned to the two generals standing side by side behind him and asked in a low voice.
…
"Sir, that is indeed what the empire said. Maybe there are some small matters, such as the awarding of honors, that were delayed first?"
Jaina thought for a while, but said tentatively.
"Then they can come here first. What other honors do they need to be awarded? One is already a royal family of the empire, and the other will probably be a queen in the future. What other honors do they need to be awarded? The situation is already imminent here, can't they hurry up?"
De Gaulle suddenly said anxiously.
"Sir, please rest assured that the Empire will never make a promise easily, and once it makes a promise, the Empire will never break its promise. We can just wait a little longer. I guess they will be here soon."
A dark-skinned human youth standing next to Jaina also whispered in a low voice.
…
"But--"
"Look, what is that-"
De Gaulle's anxious words and a sudden scream suddenly sounded.
People suddenly looked toward the center of the field. They felt that their vision suddenly became hazy, and the colorless waves gradually rippled with a point in the air as the center, and slowly expanded.
"Teleporting within the plane? Walking in the stars? Are they coming?"
De Gaulle was stunned as he stared at the space that seemed to be suddenly distorted. He suddenly asked in ecstasy.
"This is... a starry sky walk?"
Thrall murmured, he was already dazed.
…
When the colorless ball that seemed to gradually appear from the air finally dispersed, everyone saw a man in a straight black military uniform with several gold stars and silver swirls on the epaulettes standing side by side. He was holding a little boy, one on the left and one on the right.
The young man with the two girls stood in front of everyone with a smile.
The girl, who was unparalleled in beauty, but also exuded a kind of coldness that made her eyes freeze, was leaning against the young man's side. She wrapped her hands around the young man's arm and hugged it tightly. Even though she had just experienced
The most incredible thing in her life happened, but her face did not move at all - as if as long as she could be around the young man, no matter how strange things happened... she didn't care.
"What a strange feeling, so amazing..."
On the other side of the young man, a handsome girl wearing the same straight black military uniform as the young man, with only the same gold stars as the young man on the epaulettes, without the whirlpool, was murmuring.
"Father, mother, eldest mother, look, I am so powerful. My father still needs to upgrade his space magic control to another level before he can master the first step of starry sky walking."
The little boy said happily to the three of them.
…
"It's really here...it's amazing..."
The Allied officers were stunned.
De Gaulle was stunned for a moment, but he laughed and strode forward with Jaina and Sal.
"His Royal Highness, Your Highness, General Lin, hello. Congratulations to the Empire on its glorious victory, and thank the Empire for once again extending a helping hand to us at our most critical moment. I am General de Gaulle, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces."
He saluted solemnly.
"His Royal Highness King Yong, His Highness General Lin, hello, thank you to the empire for sending you. The empire and the tribe will always be the staunchest allies. I am Thrall."
"His Royal Highness King Yong. Your Highness, General Lin, hello. I am Gianna. Your Highness, we meet again. Thank you, your husband and General Lin for coming."
The two people behind him also saluted solemnly.
"All of you are here to salute our reinforcements, His Royal Highness King Yong of the Empire, His Majesty the Imperial Goddess, and the miraculous commander-in-chief of the Empire!"
The numerous generals and stars also saluted solemnly.
…
Su Su nodded slightly and took the small hotpot from Xie Ning's arms, but Xie Ning and Lin Qi solemnly returned the gift.
"My deputy chief has finally come to you."
After the two sides exchanged greetings, de Gaulle laughed and patted the young man on the shoulder.
"The luncheon is ready, please."
He smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Commander, how is the battle going?" The young man also smiled.
De Gaulle's expression changed, and his smile solidified again.
"Let's eat first. After dinner, we will have a general meeting of the General Directorate. We will talk later. Your Highnesses, General Lin, and this young Highness, please."
He sighed slightly, but said this.

"In other words, the Normandy Army has been completely defeated. After the Barbarian Western Army Corps joined the reinforcements, it seems that it is not eager to completely clear out the remaining enemies and consolidate Normandy. It is more eager to succeed in the first battle and is already vigorously forcing the Allied forces to retreat to the defense line?"
Lin Qi quietly listened to the introduction of the war situation by an operational staff officer from the Allied General Staff Headquarters, and she suddenly asked.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff," the combat staff officer replied respectfully.
"Can we still contact the remnants of the Normandy Army?" Xie Ning also asked on the side.
"I'm afraid not - you know that the barbarian battlefield is blocked, Your Excellency the Vice-General."
The combat staff bowed respectfully again.
"This is a bit troublesome... I originally planned to do some fighting behind enemy lines... Is the Normandy Army useless?"
The young man murmured.
…
"It's still useful." The girl on the side smiled strangely.
"The barbarians are anxious to completely settle the situation in the west before our Eighth Route Army comes, so they are eager to go south. Even if they don't clean up the back, they will slowly clean up later. But we are not in a hurry. This is still very good.
Take advantage of..."
She said leisurely.
"You continue." She motioned to the combat staff.
"Yes, sir." The combat staff officer looked at the document in his hand again.
"At present, the enemy forces have been heavily massed and launched several exploratory attacks. Because we have suffered too many losses before, the strength ratio between the enemy and our forces is close to ten to seven, both in terms of high-level combat power and army combat power. The situation is
It has become extremely critical.”
…
"Lon Er seems to have changed the full-line oppressive tactics used in the Empire's Seventh Daling River Battle, and has become unpredictable - we can't even figure out what he wants to do now? He seems to be eager to fight again, and seems to be in a hurry again.
There’s no rush at all.”
"However, our army's defense line has been in crisis several times under his several tentative attacks. The plain terrain of this battlefield is extremely suitable for the Wolf Cavalry to maneuver, but our heavy-armed troops dare not
Move lightly. Everywhere you put out the fire, fire breaks out everywhere and it’s impossible to prevent it.”
"The Daling River is a defensive battle on the river. This is a defensive battle on the plains. Longer's pressing tactics are not very suitable here. Instead, the key is to constantly mobilize your defense with mobile power and then attack with all your strength."
Lin Qi smiled and said again.
…
"We also guessed the same, but we still don't understand why they don't face us head-on - crushing us is enough to win. They are pursuing a quick victory, so isn't this the fastest way to achieve victory? Ours
It’s hard to stop them with force.”
"We even analyzed that if they use that oppressive tactics again, we will be in the same situation as the empire was - as long as there is a trap in one battlefield, the entire campaign will collapse. And then, the decisive battle will begin immediately,
There is no way back."
The staff officer said doubtfully.
…
"Because what he wants is a big victory, a victory with low damage so that his global strategy can be reversed - otherwise, let alone waiting for the Eighth Route Army to come, even if there is no reinforcement from the Eighth Route Army, he will dare to bring the remnant troops of the victory in the west.
Are you going to covet the Empire next? And when the Empire has completely recovered, I'm afraid more than just the Eighth Route Army will come."
