If someone was happy, naturally there would be people who were worried.
When captain Eiffel fell asleep, the new commander of the Hungry Wolf Regiment, Toby Ted, had a dark look on his face as he looked at the battle report in his hand. In the end, he couldn't hold back the rage in his heart as he slapped the battle report on the table in front of him.
"Who the f * ck can tell me what the f * ck is going on?!" Commander Ted's eyes were wide open, and they were spitting out endless fury.
The other Hungry Wolf Regiment soldiers in the tent all lowered their heads and no one responded. The entire tent fell into a deathly silence.
Seeing the reactions of the others, commander Ted became even angrier, but he couldn't find a place to vent his anger. This was because the sudden attack on the supply base wasn't because someone had made a mistake, rather they weren't prepared for the Lampari Kingdom's attack at all.
They had placed ten thousand elite soldiers in the last and most important supply base and had set up layers of blockades along the way. They didn't want to give that annoying Lampari Kingdom team any chance.
However, they never would have thought that the attack of the Lampari Kingdom's northern army wouldn't come from any corner of the continent, but rather from the sky!
According to the report, the five Magic Airships had suddenly appeared above the supply base yesterday afternoon and dropped countless Magic Bombs without any mercy. In less than five minutes, the supply base had been turned into a sea of flames.
Because it happened so suddenly and the other side's attack was so fierce, the soldiers in charge of defending the supply base couldn't react at all.
Of course, even if they could react, they couldn't deal with the five Magic Airships high up in the sky at all.
Although there were ten magicians left in the defending army to be safe, according to the report, these ten magicians couldn't even fly into the sky under the attack of the five Magic Airships, so naturally they couldn't fight back.
In the end, the defending army could only watch as the five Magic Airships attacked the supply base in the sky, but they couldn't do anything about it.
Moreover, the attack of the Magic Airships was too strong, so the defending army could only withdraw most of their people. They didn't have any extra energy to save the precious supplies at all.
As a result, the Hungry Wolf Corps was in a dire situation.
The most important logistical resource for an army was almost depleted, and the Lampari Kingdom's Northern Battlefront Army was still pressuring them, giving them no chance to breathe.
However, if they wanted to counterattack, they would need even more supplies.
Not mentioning anything else, just the hundred Magic Cannons of the Hungry Wolf Regiment needed large amounts of Magic Shells to support them.
Without enough supplies, these hundred Magic Cannons were just decorations.
After throwing a fit, Commander Ted forced himself to calm down.
As all their supplies had been destroyed, there was no way the Hungry Wolf Corps could withstand the attacks of the Lampari Kingdom's Northern Battlefront Army. They could only retreat.
However, once they retreated here, it was equal to giving up the most important gateway to the Sack Kingdom. It would allow the Lampari Kingdom's army to invade the Sack Kingdom without any scruples.
So even if they retreated, they had to make careful arrangements. At least they had to wait for the White Tiger Regiment's reinforcements to arrive.
Of course, if the army headquarters could react quickly and send another batch of supplies from the kingdom, they would still have a chance to fight.
However, Commander Ted knew very well that this was almost impossible.
Not to mention that it would take several days for the army headquarters to receive his request for reinforcements and it would take some time for them to make a decision, the most headache-inducing thing was that it would take them at least a week to send the supplies to the Hungry Wolf Regiment.
Thinking of this, commander Ted couldn't help cursing in his heart.
When he took over the Hungry Wolf Regiment and the southern defenses of the kingdom, he had suggested to the army headquarters to build a road that connected the Hungry Wolf Regiment's camp to the depths of the kingdom, making it easier to transport supplies, but the army headquarters had rejected this idea.
The reason given by the army headquarters was that it would cost at least five hundred thousand gold coins to build a road. Instead of spending this money here, it was better to spend it on other things, like making more Magic Cannons for the military magic machine research facility.
However, based on the current situation, the increase in traffic brought by the road was clearly more important.
If the Sack Kingdom had roads like the Lampari Kingdom, as well as countless transport Magic Cars, it didn't matter if the Hungry Wolf Regiment's supply base was destroyed. Because with this convenient transportation, they could quickly resupply and didn't need to worry at all.
Commander Ted was certain that the Lampari Kingdom's Northern Battlefront Army would have the supplies that he dreamed of.
Because there were roads all over the Lampari Kingdom and there were countless transport Magic Cars that had replaced horse carriages, it would guarantee that they could receive new supplies in the shortest amount of time.
The most important thing was that the other side had an advantage that they couldn't deal with at all, which was the Magic Airships.
Thinking of this, commander Ted looked up at the top of the tent. After thinking for a bit, he looked down and his face was back to normal.
"Pass down the order, give up on Entak Mountain. Everyone will withdraw and return to Novak Pass."
Everyone in the tent raised their heads in unison and looked at Commander Ted in astonishment.
"General, this ….. Are we retreating?" An officer couldn't help asking.
"That's right." Commander Ted nodded expressionlessly.
Commander Ted gave a nod, "Now that the supply base has been destroyed, we don't have the ability to stay here and fight the other side.
Instead of being broken through in a few days, it's better to retreat now and preserve our strength. "
Everyone looked at each other before giving a sigh.
Although they weren't willing, they knew in their hearts that the Lord Commander was completely right.
The Hungry Wolf Regiment was already having a hard time dealing with the Northern Battlefront Army and now that their supplies had suffered such a heavy blow, it was impossible for them to keep going.
"Other than that ….. Upton, in the report to the army headquarters, you have to focus on the threat of the other side's Magic Airships.
If possible, I hope that the army headquarters can send Great Magicians to the front lines to help. "
Everyone was surprised again.
So in the mind of the Lord Commander, the threat of the Magic Airships was already this big that they even needed to use Great Magicians to deal with them?
But thinking about it, that was right.
The battle of the supply base yesterday showed that normal soldiers couldn't pose any threat to the Magic Airships in the sky.
The only ones who could attack in the air were the magicians, but those magicians who weren't that high couldn't even approach the Magic Airships with their dense attacks, so they couldn't play much of a role.
The only ones who could pose a threat to the Magic Airships were Great Magicians.
But the Sack Kingdom only had seven Great Magicians, so they wouldn't easily move out.
Once they really needed to use Great Magicians, it meant that the Sack Kingdom was in a very serious situation.
Thinking of the powerful attacks that the Lampari Kingdom's Northern Battlefront Army had shown in the past few days, as well as the strange abilities they had outside the battlefield that people couldn't even imagine, everyone in the tent was silent and didn't question commander Ted at all.
Seeing the reactions of his subordinates, commander Ted gave a sigh in his heart.
When he took the position of commander of the Hungry Wolf Regiment from Chalon Linear, he thought that with his powerful battle experience and his ability to see the bigger picture, as well as the Sack Kingdom becoming stronger over the past few years, he would be able to reverse the situation of the Hungry Wolf Regiment being suppressed by the Lampari Kingdom's Northern Battlefront Army. He would be able to suppress the Lampari Kingdom like before.
But now that he was in this position, he realized why Chalon Linear was so helpless in front of him.
Not to mention the large difference in equipment between the Hungry Wolf Regiment and the Lampari Kingdom's Northern Battlefront Army, just in terms of logistics, the difference between the two sides was countless times.
The Lampari Kingdom's Northern Battlefront Army had the support of the Lampari Kingdom and the New Flyer behind the scenes, so they didn't have to worry about anything. As for the Hungry Wolf Regiment, if they wanted the support of the Sack Kingdom's army headquarters, they had to look at some people's faces.
Of course, the most important problem was that with the development of the past few years, the Lampari Kingdom's national strength had grown to a terrifying level.
When it came to the battlefield, it showed the disparity in various details.
For example, the Lampari Kingdom's Northern Battlefront Army's shocking firepower and mobility, as well as the five Magic Airships that made people despair. Or the Lampari Kingdom's Northern Battlefront Army's ability to cooperate and control information that people couldn't understand … …
Commander Ted was very confident in these things in the Hungry Wolf Regiment, but after the real battle began, he found that the Lampari Kingdom's Northern Battlefront Army's strength had surpassed his imagination. They didn't seem like an army that existed in this era at all.
This made commander Ted think of a short article that he had read in the Sack Kingdom's « Xinfei Magic Machine Weekly » last year.
This short article was written by the New Flyer's chairman Xu Yi and it was related to the military magic machines.
Putting aside the part about the military magic machines, what left the deepest impression on commander Ted were the words Xu Yi said at the end.
"With the appearance of the military magic machines, the previous method of using soldiers, war horses, bows, and blades has officially become history.
With the development of the military magic machines, the new modern method of warfare will be based on seizing information. Relying on powerful mobility and firepower to seize time and space, the enemy can't even fight back.
With the new method of warfare, the traditional method of warfare can't resist at all and victory or defeat will be decided before the battle even begins. "
When he saw this before, commander Ted gave a snort of disdain. He felt that Xu Yi was just bragging about his company's military magic machines.
But now that he had personally experienced the battle with the Lampari Kingdom's Northern Battlefront Army for several days, commander Ted thought of these words and his heart was filled with emotions.
Xu Yi was right. Because of the appearance of the military magic machines, the war of swords and spears would never return.
