MTL - I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain-Chapter 481 defeated
Chapter 481 Defeated like a mountain
1495, September 20th.
Landis Republic, Wiesel in the early morning, only a few thin columns of guards patrolled the capital near the city wall, and a layer of hazy fog added a bit of mystery to this ancient city.
The guards standing at the entrance watched in horror as the chariots transporting wounded soldiers one after another were transported back to the city in an endless stream.
Silent, only the Lantis people were silent all the way back to the capital.
The way to distinguish between a defeated army and a victorious army is particularly simple.
Generally, the return convoy is neither noisy nor disturbing, it is eerily quiet, and there is no trace of anger in the eyes of the returning soldiers, and 99% of them are defeated troops.
In the past few days, more and more wounded vehicles have been transported from the front line.
They brought together the pessimistic atmosphere that was unfavorable for combat, and even infected the city, and the decadent atmosphere spread everywhere.
Seeing another group of wounded soldiers being sent back to Wiesel, several guards at the entrance of the city passage suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard that the situation on the front line is not good."
A guard suddenly spoke.
"It's not just bad, the Republic is going to be defeated this time." Carlos, the highest-ranking guard in the field, shook his head and smiled wryly.
The subordinates handed over the crumpled cigarettes in their pockets with great insight, and carefully protected the cigarette butts with their hands, letting the flints rub against the sparks:
"Mr. Carlos, since you have worked in the Wiesel Palace, I wonder if you can tell us something we don't know."
"Please, sir, my family is still in Sedan."
"Sedan City, I heard that it was occupied by the Baia army three days ago. It's really bad enough."
Talking about higher-level affairs, the guards at the city gate instinctively gathered together, trying to get some news from the "big shots" who had entered and left the palace.
The chief guard named Carlos smiled wryly: "Okay, why don't I tell you, do you know who led the troops to attack the Republic's rear this time?"
Without waiting for the answer from his subordinates, he said in earnest:
"Tufu Cape, the most terrifying monster in the Baia Kingdom for hundreds of years, it was his plan to charge at the forefront, and the surprise attacks of armored vehicles and airships are also closely related to this person.
That army is making trouble in the rear, and our army has been retreating steadily on the frontal battlefield. I guess it won't be long before the government of the Republic will capitulate. "
When the news was well-informed, the chief guard said this matter with a serious face, even though the Republic tried its best to cover up the defeat of the war.
But such a big defeat is basically difficult to cover up.
The collapse of the front line, the operation of the media, and many big figures who have retreated from the front line inside and outside are all unfavorable factors for the Republic of Lantis.
Even if Carlos doesn't say anything, the guards will soon know.
"Boom..."
Amidst the amazement of the guards, a car came from the city and passed by.
There will be a large elite army in the follow-up, I am afraid that all the defenders of Landis will be mobilized.
Carlos, the most discerning guard chief, recognized the vehicle of the Wiesel Palace.
The person sitting in the front seat was a military officer with a star logo on his shoulders. His face was full of flesh and blood, and his eyes revealed the shrewdness of a middle-aged man.
Familiar with his subordinates, the general did not hesitate to call out the name of the head of the guard.
"Carlos, let me go."
"General Rothschild, all members of the Seventh Team of the Security Force send their greetings."
"Open the door!"
Carlos made a standard military salute like a general, and the subordinates beside him did not dare to salute vaguely when they heard the name of the visitor, and opened the city passage without stopping.
"Wooooooh—"
Behind the general driving the road, I saw a car with a very gorgeous color and camouflage uniform passing by, followed by a large number of cars behind.
That special car never appeared in the capital.
"Who is that?"
The newly recruited guards did not know the identity of the person who left, and subconsciously raised questions.
Looking at Captain Carlos again, a thin layer of sweat covering his forehead dripped down the bridge of his nose, recalling something in the deep memory in the palace.
"His Excellency the Head of State..."
fled.
…
The head of state got into the car, and Louis XIV reluctantly turned his head to look at the capital behind him.
This glance is ten thousand years, seeing the hardships of the slow rise of Landis, and seeing the prosperity of this country with high-rise buildings and banquets.
I also saw myself on stage, cutting off the head of my opponent who had insulted me.
There are many complex emotions of nostalgia, reluctance, and powerlessness in his expression,
In the end, all the grievances turned into a long sigh.
After leaving, I don’t know when I will be able to come back.
"I really can't bear it!"
Before leaving this city, the Sun King is like an old man recalling the king. He knows that when a person starts to look back on past achievements, this life probably stops here.
Still reluctant, I turned my head several times to look at the capital.
General Rothschild, who had already sat in this car, could not help dissuading him when he saw his depression:
"Führer, although I don't have much to say now, we have no time to catch up now. We must go to the port of Intel in the shortest possible time, and then let the defeated main force gather and leave in batches.
Ryan Kingdom's fleet has arrived and should not stay here any longer. "
The Sun King couldn't help but fell silent, he hated being preached.
"I know, I won't do it again."
"Actually, we have tried our best to prevent the defeat on the front line, but the territory of the Republic has already been leaking everywhere. How could it be possible to hold it? You have controlled it to the best extent and led the evacuation of the living force. As a head of state, this is already very remarkable. .”
General Rothschild's words are not a compliment.
The country's rear has been turned upside down.
After this battle, the Republic has no advantage in terms of strategy, tactics, morale, willpower, or international public opinion. Now the war situation between the two countries will not be able to control the turmoil even if all the famous historical generals are reborn.
When things come to an end, we can only make up our minds that the gecko will cut off its tail.
In fact, the dust had settled a few days ago. Louis XIV contacted the envoy of Ryan Kingdom, and the two parties reached a deal by coincidence.
The Republic of Lantis retains a large number of active forces in the army, and the front-line armies retreat in an orderly manner.
The first batch to evacuate was naturally the head of state and the backbone of the army under his command.
They will leave the country from the port of Inter in the northwest, waiting to regroup and return to the country in the future.
Except for many semi-god-level powerhouses in the territory, they are used to being free in this land, and it is impossible for them to travel with a down-and-out head of state.
But if the country is gone, the position of this group of special people becomes delicate again.
In addition to the task of assassinating Tu Fu, one of the demigods died and three were seriously injured. What a terrible record.
The idea of supporting the head of state became more and more indifferent to the group of strange men.
Except for a few blood-related demigods in the court, most of the high-end combat power in other countries choose to stay out of the matter.
The entire "defeated army" troops drifted away from their hometown in wordless silence.
After only two hours' journey, the defeated army led by Louis XIV marched at full speed from the fleeing army that left Wiesel, and the journey went smoothly.
Give the soldiers who have experienced great defeats finally a chance to breathe.
"Führer, fortunately we retreated in time. The army that went deep into the Republic probably didn't expect that we had gone far."
Some soldiers came to report after investigation.
"Where is the front?"
"Altaïr Mountains, after turning over from now on, it only takes us two hours to reach the port of Intel."
"Altaïr Mountains."
Louis XIV repeated the name of the place, and a confident smile suddenly appeared on his face: "I know this mountain, the mountains and rivers are steep, and the side of the mountain is condescending, so it is the most suitable place to hide and ambush.
You often say that Baiyana is smart, he uses soldiers like a god, and he is even comparable to Thilo Sollens, but now this genius is still a little younger.
If it was Sorens' troops, they would have ambushed here in advance. At this time, our troops might not be able to go to Ryan at all. "
Louis XIV's laughter just fell, and before the officers could smile, a burst of dense explosions sounded from the rear of the marching troops.
"Boom, boom, boom—"
The powerful mines exploded without delay when the elite troops arrived.
The location of the explosion was the center of the Landis army, forming an explosion area with a radius of tens of meters. After the prey took the bait, it also reached the point of receiving the bait.
"Protect the Führer!"
When countless landmines and bombs sounded, someone yelled and pushed Louis XIV into the car.
Immediately afterwards, heavy roars rolled over the mountain peaks, and the terrifying vibrations caused by fiery red, golden, fierce, and gorgeous electric fires shook the entire earth continuously.
A huge cloud of dust hangs over the sky.
On the main peak of Altaïr, there was a clattering sound, one after another of cold armored vehicles appeared from the mountain, and the ammunition that had been prepared for a long time fell on the Sun King's army like a frightened bird.
They didn't have the slightest thought of fighting. From the king's car to the elite army, they were already terrified when they saw this heavenly soldier, and they all fled.
The battle with the Baier army these days has made them unable to think of any counter-terrorism.
This ambush army that came out of nowhere, hangs above what should be guarding the city of Sedan,
Baia Group A, the flag of the 7th Armored Division.
