Out of the cage

On March 28, 3231 in the Fire Emblem Calendar, forty-three cities, large and small, had declared their independence in the huge Sky Empire. Although the remaining cities did not immediately oppose the empire, the revolutionary forces in the empire have formed a rivalry with the conservatives of the empire.

However, the state of mutual hostility has shifted from a full-scale military confrontation to a "theoretical battle" in the form of mutual electrification.

Advocate debater: It is inevitable that the republic will replace the imperial system.

Opponent debater: The imperial system is still feasible, and rashly changing the state system may cause even greater disasters.

At this time, all the giants in the academic world are on the public opinion field in the empire, but there is no room for the small newspapers in the countryside to intervene in it. The peasant youth associations in the rural and rural areas can express their opinions in the current changing situation. At this time, they are limited to the rural and rural areas. During the dissemination of the medium board newspaper, there is no chance to show one's own voice in the huge debate at this time.

...People in the world don't want to use force, and the brickmen start to open the way with their mouths...

En Ma: "These scholars stand behind interest groups that the world cannot see. Some are imperialists, and some are compradors who tend to be external. This is not so much a debate as it is undoubtedly a bargaining .”

These "Holy Mothers" who "reduce bloodshed" have come to set "can't" restrictions on the already bleeding Geding. The scale of the "flame" grows larger and burns itself.

…At a time when all-out war was impossible within Sky Empire, violent collisions began at some nodes…

Swan City has ushered in the most severe moment. The three surrounding imperial armies have found the interest groups that stand in line. Under the instructions of these interest groups, they launched the strongest onslaught on Swan City.

Imperial capital "Light News": Under the heavy shelling and the impact of a large number of imperial soldiers, a large number of defense lines of the Swan City rebels are crumbling.

But in fact, Enma stood in the stronghold outside the city filled with smoke and dust, watching the imperial soldiers fighting in the front trenches, under the ingenious penetration of the rebel army, completely defeated again, and exhaled: "I'm not growing."

Those generals of the empire were indeed "not good enough" according to Wei Keng's standards.

In the early suppression, the old-style army could indeed use its "adequate training" and "standardization of weapons" to exert its advantages over the changing insurgents. But now Enma has formed a modern army in an orderly manner, and has gradually brought into play the tactics of a modern army in this defensive battle.

Enma: The command system of your imperial army is only at the "platoon" level. In foreign operations, even the company commander (captain) supervises the battle with a gun. Two or three officers are driving more than a hundred "gray animals". Do you expect complex cooperation among the "gray animals"? (Similar to the 21st century boss offering a salary of 2,000 yuan, expecting employees to actively discuss tomorrow's work after get off work)

The new troops can reach the squad level. In a complex battlefield environment, when the team finds a loophole in the enemy's defense line, it will subjectively make a breakthrough. Even an officer of this level can directly make decisions that far exceed those of the old army, quickly interspersed to seize the terrain, set up firepower points, and sometimes collapsed. The opponent's battalion, or even a regiment's attack.

Enma (Wei Keng) upholds his self-awareness of being a man, and has no military experience. He regards his "command ability" as the key to overwhelming the empire, but regards army building as the key to victory. Negative key.

Squads and platoons are equipped with instructors to determine the combat merit, and after confirming the combat merit, arrange military studies. After passing the exam, the military rank is promoted. This also means that as long as soldiers are brave and have excellent knowledge, they can become generals. Even though most of the soldiers are indeed bumpkins, those who can be selected must be qualified military generals.

In this way, on the short four-kilometer-thick defense line outside Swan City, every attack by the empire was defeated.

Enma returned to the headquarters, picked up the latest newspapers in the empire, and flipped through them. After a while, he slapped his palm on the table and snorted coldly.

Enma hates his work, and is regarded as "dedication" by others, and hates it even more. The top people use this "dedication" to complete their own small thoughts.

...In this world, some existences are born to be proud of blood-sucking...

The empire now has a new military hardliner who wants to take down Swan City as a bargaining chip.

These military hardliners are actually the "reformists" in the past empire.

Even if the imperial army captures "Swan City" now, it is impossible for the empire to capture all the other rebellious cities one by one, but it can severely damage "the arrogance of the most radicals."

Master Wei suddenly discovered that he was originally a supporter, but after jumping in, these guys took the opportunity to turn Swan City into a big hole.

Now the city faction has begun to mix fish and dragons. Some guys are rotten under the imperial system, and now they stand in line with speculative "innovatives" and still can't change their shit.

During the whole half a month, the Agricultural Youth Association accumulated a large amount of grain and cloth and began to transport it to Swan City. This truckload of supplies passed through the so-called recovery zone along the way, and only 70% of the people who were profited by the cities along the way were transported to Swan City. in the city.

The troops at the front are still stable. There are vacuum-packed fast food in the factory and gauze alcohol in the hospital. But for Enma, this war consumes too much.

After another round of bombardment by the Empire in March, and after batches of wounded were evacuated from the tunnels on the front line, Enma inspected the hospital and smiled heavily after facing the singing wounded troops. Turn around and leave.

Enma came to the center of the No. 3 underground fortress in Swan City and held a decision-making meeting.

The content of this meeting is: "transfer".

Enma explained from the worst point of view: If it is really impossible to win the industrial furnace equipment, this big city has to be abandoned. How to deal with it.

At this time, the industrial working group in Swan City gave an answer: return to the northern base, rely on the technicians who have been transferred, and various technical materials, and accumulate an industrial base in the north, which is two five-year plans.

Of course, Enma admits that if one's own side (Nongqing Army) has an "intention to retreat", it will be translated into "surrender" by those who are interested. At this time, under the high morale of the "National Revolutionary Forces" pursuing victory, any remarks about "retreat" as a "Shouyi City" are like pouring cold water into a 1,000-degree steel furnace, and the cold water will immediately turn into flames and scald yourself.

…There is a kind of intellectual who sits in the office by himself and always thinks that the people who work in front of him should not be as smart as himself, so they should all listen to him. …

So Enma assured all members: "If necessary to retreat, this order will be signed by myself and executed by everyone."

All the attendees, whether they were from the Nongxiang faction or the local reform faction of Swan City, were silent about this, but then Willie said, "I am a committee member, and I cannot be without me when I sign." After that, the responsible persons of other departments stood up, Express support.

Now in the melting pot of Swan City, no matter where they came from before, they are all smelted together under the tempering of artillery fire and the forging of track impact.

Everyone began to feel angry at the inaction of "other revolutionary factions in the sky".

After all, the supplies that are currently being transported to Swan City have been pumped out layer by layer during the transportation of materials, which has provoked everyone's sensitive nerves again and again, and the repeated questioning by telegrams has also been perfunctory by bureaucracy.

Just like the petty bourgeoisie people find it interesting to see their free-range stray dogs stealing food from poor students, thinking that poor students should not care about it, and should learn to be caring.

The reformers at the rear of the Sky Empire believe that the rebel army in Swan City should focus on fighting bravely, and should not care about supplies with other brother cities.

...Sky Empire, in addition to a superior environment, it has also created a large number of "egoism" culturally, lacking a "thorough"...

Enma's proposal to "transfer" is taking a huge risk.

If the "retreat" remarks were not made by Enma.

Then the Revolutionary Committee of the entire Swan City will immediately conduct a trial.

But now, during the battle that lasted for more than a month, Enma's command ability, as well as the overall arrangement of the situation, established the majesty to suppress these people.

However, after this meeting, a series of

When Enma was preparing to plan the retreat channel, another student (and lover) of Greif, Gninelina, came in and tried to persuade.

Gninelina: "We are doing well."

Enma stared at the Greve admirer. Taking a deep breath, without arguing, she glanced at her, ignored her, and continued to arrange for many people: "Get ready for the final counterattack, technicians, children, and women will be transferred first, and the revolutionary backbone will stabilize the order. Tell everyone in the organization Man, we're the last to go."

Greve originally wanted Willie to dissuade Enma, but Willie avoided seeing him.

After Enma began to order, it was like a huge machine running, and everyone was passive and could only obey the arrangement. Although these opponents had something to say, they couldn't say it after they opened their mouths.

The Battle of Swan City has determined the rebel army here, with Enma as the center.

Enma has proved in dozens of days of defensive warfare that his "dispatch" is the only feasible way to maintain confrontation.

The war has reached the present, and "ideal" and "feasibility" conflict, and everyone can only choose "feasibility".

Even the earliest batch of urban revolutionaries now tacitly agree that they must unite around the "Enma" center.

In the past uprisings, everyone was used to the minority obeying the majority.

But in less than two months, Enma changed the atmosphere in the meeting to focus on "investigation" and "whoever makes the decision is responsible."

...Fourteen hours later, the flames of war ignited again...

Enma came to the railway center and said to Willy: "You stay for a while."

Enma saw this passionate young man. Enthusiastically mobilized on the front line, the wound on my forehead caused by shrapnel has not healed, and the bandage is still wrapped under the hat.

How many articles from the outside world portrayed him as a hero and a strong Great Wall, and publicized his impassioned words as inspirational words. This made him grit his teeth and "resist" every time he encountered a frontal blow.

In En Ma's eyes, this young man was not so much on the side of the main fighter faction, but rather he was put on a high shelf by the "main fighter" faction clamoring in the rear, making it impossible for him to get off.

When Willie entered the room, he was about to say something.

En Ma took the first step and said: "The situation is very serious now, I don't want to listen to your personal remarks, and give me back the suggestions of the people in your department."

Willie paused slightly and nodded.

The personnel on the railway platform now also "grit their teeth" and "hold on to their last breath" about this war, and "hope that the war will end in the next moment."

After listening to these, Enma took a pen to record them one by one, but did not speak.

Willie looked at the silent Enma, and asked tentatively, "Maybe the Imperial Army won't last long?" His tone was very weak in front of Enma.

After a long time, Enma sighed, first criticized Willy's "fluke", and then expressed his own opinion: "As a member of the decision-making team, you must always prepare for the "worst plan" ,

Before the Great Uprising in Swan City, I took the route of encircling the center from the countryside, not because during the Great Revolution, those who supported the reform in the countryside were taken as victims by the city and forcibly expropriated! ——This is the worst possibility that I was guarding against when I met you (before going to Swan City).

Now you know what the "worst possible" thing I'm worried about is? "

Willie looked at Enma, feeling puzzled.

Enma: "What is the most important thing for a dragon slayer? It is not to kill the dragon, but to be vigilant, and become a dragon after being contaminated with dragon blood."

En Ma spread out a large number of cities now occupied by the reformers, and the leaders of many of them are old bureaucrats.

Enmara stopped Willy: "From now on, my faction and the faction determined to overthrow the empire are just a cooperative relationship, and we must settle accounts clearly in the future."

When Willie was deeply reflecting.

Enma looked at the "recovered" cities on the map, pressed his finger on the Swan City, and said sarcastically in his heart: The purpose of my visit this time is to obtain "industrial production materials" for my faction, not to ask You send bow down. Nowadays, your faction has mixed with a large number of middle factions with unknown intentions. The high cost of controlling the city on your side and the high risk of confrontation at the front have been largely shared with my faction. This is how your city faction treats comrades count?

Greve, I don't care what elegant ways you have to cooperate with the Imperial Reformers. But here, it is impossible for us to go on indefinitely. "

When Enma said "we" and "you", the tone was already very strong, indicating that the first cooperation is coming to an end.

Willie, who was in a daze for five minutes, was woken up by Enma who pressed the map.

Willie: "Ah, sorry, I was distracted."

Enma: "Tomorrow, you should evacuate first."

Willie shook his head: "I can't withdraw."

Enma smiled: "You have to evacuate, because the war so far, I have caught two dark lines, which are near you, but dealing with them now will affect morale. If you don't deal with it, there will be major problems in the next battle. So I need you to leave for a while."

Willie froze for a moment, and then saw the evidence given by En Ma, his eyes were shattered. As a passionate person, he did not expect that there would be a traitor by his side.

En Ma: "Remember, there is a team of skilled workers from Swan City who are withdrawing with you, and they must be brought to the north."

Willie opened his mouth. Then he asked dryly, "And what about you?"

Enma: "It's all arranged, I will fight back without any worries," Enma raised his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't die so easily, I have to practice hard before giving the empire enough eye medicine. "

Willie paused for a moment, he could not refute Enma's strategic judgment, because within this month, all the advanced preparations implemented by Enma were proved to be correct by various serious situations later.

Willie had to be a little discouraged and said, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Enma: "Huh? Do something you haven't done before, and fail. That's not stupid. It's only stupid if you make the same mistake once."

Willie: "You never laughed at anyone."

Enma calmly said with emotion: "They are all mortals. If you laugh at you, then who will laugh at me? God? Even as a mortal, you have to raise your head in front of the gods."

Willie paused: "I heard that you know occultism and divination for the future?"

En Ma smiled, "Never believe in God, as a life, you should believe in all your own preparations."

Willy: "I didn't believe in "God's Fate" before, but now I think you may be the real chosen one."

Enma's tone suddenly became serious: "I am an ordinary person, comrade, stop your wrong thinking."

...The starlight in the sky is very cold, and a chill shines on the Swan City, but the smoke from the red chimneys in the city forms a barrier...

When Enma was preparing to evacuate, outside Swan City, three imperial generals were also looking at the fortifications of Swan City through the front-end magic spar camera projection system.

Hughes, Sugemat, and Lillot, these three generals took turns to attack Swan City within a month.

Enma's so-called position is crumbling, but in the eyes of these three imperial generals, it is impenetrable. Often the position is compressed for another round during the day, and it is cut off by infiltration at night and brought back.

The Swan City theater was watched by all the forces in the entire empire, and the generals of the imperial army were also under tremendous pressure. From the beginning, the three of them took turns to fight with each other, but now they no longer talk about martial arts, and are ready to fight three against one. Continuously bombard the houses and railways in the city with heavy artillery.

But even so, when the periphery of Swan City was almost turned into ruins, the confrontation continued, and the crimson iron star was still hanging high on the highest industrial furnace of Swan City. And on the rear water traffic arteries, armed escort ships are still cruising, and the three steel bridges have been bombed twelve times, all of which have been restored.

In fact, the morale of the entire empire's frontline troops suppressing the troops on the outskirts of Swan City almost collapsed. After hitting it again, it will really be over.

…the soldiers are weary, and to the Imperial General it’s nothing more than a run out of sugar cubes for coffee and a bitter taste in his mouth…

Lilot put down the binoculars and asked Hughes, "Are they really preparing to evacuate?"

Hughes nodded: "Yes, according to inside information, the revolutionaries in Swan City have split. Those who have been sticking to the big city for half a month are all from the original revolutionary fringe faction. Oh, um, it was originally a A countryman." There was a little pity in his tone.

Hughes looked at Sugemat and asked, "Sugmat, I heard that the commander named postman is very young?"

Sugemat frowned: "Maybe. Now the times make heroes."

Lilot: "Now the opponent wants to withdraw, we want to pursue? Or?"

Hughes interrupted: "Of course we want to pursue it. With the current empire structure, the battle of Swan City must have a winner, and then it is us."

…The general holding the coffee felt that he could wrong himself and suffer a little more. …

In the afternoon, the large-scale bombardment started again. After the bombardment, the elite armored troops of the Empire, that is, chariots with a length of more than 40 meters, roared towards Swan City with steam and heat waves coming from the tail.

Enma looked at the direction of the empire's attack in the headquarters where the sand and soil fell from the front artillery fire, and determined that the imperial army was going to directly insert into the central railway station.

Enma looked at the rows of six-meter-tall battle robots on the front line, which were faster than the galloping buses, and muttered, "What is this? Zaku?"

This is Hughes' battlefield skill.

This skill: extract the power machinery from the battle-damaged machinery, and refit it into this kind of construct! For example, the knight level has two engines, and after the battle is damaged, two such mech structures will crawl out. Hughes can paint the skull on this construct, which means the dying skeleton soldier.

After reading the illustrated book, Wei Keng said, "What the hell is that?"

Oh, regarding the repair of war-damaged machinery, Enma has destroyed large battle mechs many times in the previous wars, but after defeating these battle mechs, they cannot be dragged to the factory for repair, because the machinery of this plane is not only, Metal transmission mechanism, and "concept" to protect the mechanism.

The destroyed combat machine is not only broken mechanically, but also the "concept" (machine soul) is also broken.

..."concepts" are everywhere in this universe...

When Wei Keng came to the Arcane plane for the first time, when launching a big steel ship, the draft of the hull was obviously higher than normal. This is the impact brought by the spectators at the dock who thought that the iron ship should sink. .

After several epochs of development, in today's most modern age of gods, the rules have been perfected, and the "concept" has been integrated with large-scale machinery, so when these large-scale mechanical vehicles are destroyed. It also "destroys" the concept. So even if the machine is repaired, the machine will not be able to operate, unless it is "burning a whole set of machine operation models in the mind", in order to revive the damaged machine on the battlefield! Of course, that's a big move for a level six hero.

Back to the moment, as for these mechanical puppets crawling out of the big machinery.

What Enma can think of most is the "deceitful machine" encountered in the previous time travel.

Although several mythological epochs have passed, the resummoning mode of this kind of "mechanical wreckage" and the ancient existence of "strange machinery" still have "similar principles".

Enma: After finding the reference object, it will be easy to deal with.

In the ancient arcane stage, this kind of "deceitful machinery" can be dispelled by the "element mixing" arcane principle.

Today, the same principle is naturally used to manufacture "special shells".

...In the factory in Swan City, the old rust on the pipes was scraped off and entered the chemical synthesis room...

In the frontier trenches, facing the torrent of "deceitful machinery" formed by these fifty mechanical puppets leading the charge.

The defensive front of the city's third ring district on the rebel side mobilized tractor vehicles, placed five-meter-high launchers on them, and then stuffed gas tank warheads into them. Fifty kilograms of gas is mixed inside, and metal powder is wrapped around the steel drum.

As the stampede of the forward armor became heavier and heavier. The rebel soldiers in the tunnel pressed the button, and the current quickly locked all the emitters, and the ammunition flew out from the blind spot behind the ruins of the building.

One kilometer away, the torrent of cunning machines was submerged in the rising clouds of fire, and these cunning machines hit the head.

When these simple artillery shells flew up on a large scale, Lilot said: "The firepower of these rebels is still very strong. If the soldiers are allowed to charge, we will suffer a lot of casualties." The general wasn't worried about the "mechanical puppets" on the front line. The large walking mecha approaching one hundred tons seemed to be able to withstand the explosion fire cloud.

But Hughes, who summoned these puppets, stood up, staring at the rising fire with his pupils: "Blazing metal bullet, where did the rebels know the information?"

Lilot paused slightly, then opened the binoculars again, from his perspective on the battlefield:

Under the cross mirror, those magical machines seemed to be soaked in water. On the "death machine" that was forcibly put together, a large number of giant nut parts were loose, and the welded steel shell was wrinkled and broken.

The original "blood bars" of these summoning machines can withstand dozens of rounds of 100mm caliber shells, but their weakness lies in the welding parts.

If it is a machine processed by a normal factory, the mechanical link parts are welded and fixed with rivets, so there will be no problem of loosening under the "heat dissipating" warhead.

But this is a necromancer weapon, the destroyed machinery was kneaded by the concept field, and during the kneading process, it was the "heroic concept arcane" that melted the aluminum alloy in the wrecked machinery, glued those wrecked machinery together, and sent them into the battlefield.

If the rebel army used kinetic energy bombs, the machinery assembled from these wreckage could serve as the "meat shield defense line" of the imperial army.

However, Enma found a way to deal with it. Once the "aluminum alloy powder and rust powder that has been repeatedly heated more than a hundred times in the smelting furnace" enters the battlefield with molten concept information, it will immediately tunnel into those " On the aluminum alloy melted by the weird concept", the whole weird machine will be dispersed.

...In war, no matter how strange the means are, they must be combined with "positive" and counted on "odd" to reverse them. Sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment...

Enma looked at the large mechanical clusters that had collapsed on the front line, as well as the trench defense strongholds that survived the torrent of steel on the front line.

Because the rebel army successfully defeated this huge "metal torrent", the concept of invigorating spirits rose.

Enma was fed back by the various conceptual structures (upgrade experience) in the ether world, and Enma whispered: "I want to beat me away! But you have to show some real skills!"
