    The steel jungle built by humans with reinforced concrete is not much stronger than real wood in the face of the giant beast called war.  Therefore, Rakvere, which was once the eastern hub of the three Baltic states, was destined to be reduced to ruins.

    The third day of the Baltic Battle.

    The Bunitania Empire's assault force, consisting of the Third and Sixth Knights as the Seven Knights, a total of three Knights of the Round Table, and a small number of floating Knightmare, bypassed the EU's first line of defense and successfully raided Raquevere, the fulcrum of the EU's middle defense line.  .  However, after the 521st Brigade of the EU Rakwere Defense Force suffered a heavy blow and lost most of the Knightmare, instead of quickly collapsing, it unexpectedly launched a fierce and bloody resistance.

    The same day, 1825 hours.

    The 215th Brigade and the 331st Brigade of the EU's third line of defense successively reinforced Rakwere. According to the EU official propaganda: the Imperial Army led by the Knights of the Round Table retreated hastily when they saw that they were outnumbered.

    However, the empire's statement is: The Knights of the Round Table successfully destroyed Raquevere, the fulcrum of the EU's Sixth Army's defense line, and after severely damaging the 521st Brigade, they made a planned strategic transition and counter-pierced the EU's first line of defense.  The emperor opened a breakthrough.

    The fourth day of the battle.

    The Imperial Army, which was not in a hurry to attack, began to annihilate the divided EU troops in the rear.

    In order to cover the retreat of the divided defense line troops, the EU Baltic Fleet poured more than 2,400 missiles and more than 5,300 artillery shells towards the front line.  The extended covering bombardment and missile attack successfully forced the pursuing Imperial Army to retreat after suffering some heavy damage. However, this result, in addition to plowing all the frozen soil along the way, directly caused all the warships of the Baltic Fleet to conduct an ammunition  Clearance.

    The troops on the eastern defense line were not so lucky. When the fifth knight Luccard von Fabray advanced all the way and caused the EU's retreating 196th Brigade to completely collapse, the tenth knight Brandley, who was also pursuing,  The troops he led showed ruthless tactics that even his fellow troops were ashamed of.

    The tenth knight Brandley did not let the troops advance together with the fifth knight Luca's troops. Instead, he deployed the troops in a fan formation behind the route of Luca's troops, and then issued an extremely cold-blooded order to leave no survivors.  .

    This order resulted in the massacre of nearly 9,000 EU soldiers who had completely lost their will to fight, and the legend of the Bunitania vampire filled another page of disgrace.

    The fifth day of the battle.

    The Imperial Army's vanguard and the main force of the EU Sixth Army encountered each other at Tapa, east of Rakwere. Under the special arrangements of EU commander General Barclay, the Sixth Army did not quickly annihilate the Imperial Army's vanguard.  It was deliberately showing an evenly matched posture, gradually attracting nearby emperors to come to their aid.  By 1620 pm on the fifth day, the number of Imperial troops had increased to 42,000, and the number of Knightmare and armored vehicles was 243.

    At 1700 in the afternoon, the Sixth Army suddenly launched a fierce attack. Finally realizing that the Imperial Army had fallen into a trap, it had to give up the attack and instead defend on the spot.

    At 1900, some of the imperial troops who came for reinforcements wanted to help the friendly forces break through, but they had to stop before the Sixth Army's huge military strength gap.

    In 2015, after receiving the news, Schneizel realized that the current empire was in a situation of dispersed forces. Knowing that a forced decisive battle would only become a war of attrition, he decisively committed all five Knights of the Round Table to the Tapa retreat.  At the same time, Schneizel also ordered the emperor's troops to assemble in Rakvere and be on standby.

    From 1700 pm to 2330 pm, after six and a half hours of fierce fighting, the Imperial Army finally completed its retreat after leaving more than 20,000 corpses and more than 350 Knightmare and armored vehicles in Tapa City.

    "Your Excellency General, the emperor has retreated."

    "Yeah." Admiral Barclay stared at the night sky dyed red by the flames, and nodded for the invisible.

    "Want to pursue?"

    "The empire's five Knights of the Round Table and the troops directly under their command have personally cut off the rear. There is no opportunity to take advantage of it." Admiral Barclay shook his head.

    "Moreover, most of the main force of the Emperor's Army did not join the battle, so even a parallel pursuit is meaningless."

    "What are the losses of our army?"

    "So far, the casualties of the 512th brigade are 42%, and the casualties of the 196th brigade" The staff officer was suddenly speechless, and then his deep voice revealed suppressed anger. "The casualties are 83%, of which 9,000 were killed without any resistance."  Killed under circumstances.¡±

    Not surrendering, nor dying in battle, but being massacred after losing the will to fight.  This situation is unacceptable under any circumstances.

    On the same side of the emperor, Schneizel was also troubled by this problem. Although he knew the consequences of Brandley's unauthorized actions, the Knights of the Round Table were directly subordinate to the emperor. Even as the second prince of the empire,  Even as the prime minister of the empire and the commander-in-chief of the army, he could not control Brandley's actions.Actual penalties are imposed for such behavior.  From a certain perspective, this is also a drawback of the imperial system.

    When he thought that facing the EU's political offensive, this would become an endless war of words, Schneizel couldn't help but sigh secretly.

    ¡°Of course, there¡¯s another person here who¡¯s outraged by Brandley¡¯s behavior.

    "In this case, doesn't it seem like I am also a companion of this murderous maniac!?" As the fifth knight who indirectly caused this result, Luca almost had a fight with Brandley on the spot at the war meeting.

    "Move the wounded to Tallinn and let the Baltic Fleet transport the wounded from the sea to Stockholm (the capital of Sweden) for treatment."

    "yes."

    Compared with the rear of this battlefield, Sweden across the sea is safer. The most important thing is that Admiral Barclay finally made an extremely bold decision at this moment.

    "But Your Excellency, this means that the plan of deep formation defense is completely ruined"

    "Then there is no need to defend." Admiral Barclay's answer made the officers look surprised.

    "What are you talking about?"

    "I've had enough of this passive defense." Admiral Barclay waved his fist in the air.

    ¡°Inform all cities in Estonia and even Lithuania that they have the right to give up resistance when necessary.¡±

    "Your Mightiness!?"

    "Don't worry, Chief of Staff. I'm not crazy yet." Admiral Barclay patted the Chief of Staff on the shoulder and laughed. "Assemble all mobile troops. From now on, I will let the Emperor know why I was  It¡¯s called the Ice and Snow Vulture.¡±

    "Oh oh oh!!!" The officers who heard these words were stunned at first, and then looked at Barclay with reverential and excited eyes.

    In the early morning of the sixth day of the Baltic Battle, the war took a bizarre turn.

    The EU Sixth Army completely abandoned its layered defense in depth, switched to mobile defense, and launched an unprecedented large-scale hit-and-run tactics on the soil of Estonia and Latvia.

    The eagle itself is a large carnivorous raptor that soars over plains and mountains.  And after Admiral Barclay, known as the Ice and Snow Vulture, was no longer bound by the defensive line and no longer cared about the gains and losses of a city or a place, his natural aggressiveness was finally completely released.

    General Barclay, who concentrated most of the Knightmare and armored forces of the Sixth Army, took advantage of his familiarity with the geographical environment and at the same time maximized the mobility of the EU standard Knightmare.  The ferocious assault on the tundra maximizes the destructive power.

    The first person to become prey in the mouth of this ice and snow vulture was the Shoudika Knights from the Bunitania Empire who marched towards Kehra.

    Although Schneizel had already anticipated the possibility of an attack and prepared maximum operational support.  But the Shoudika Knights, with more than 3,000 soldiers and 52 Knightmare, suffered a devastating blow in a battle that lasted less than an hour.

    When reinforcements arrived, all they saw were the wreckage of armored vehicles and Knightmare, as well as hundreds of lost Imperial soldiers.  And just a dozen hours apart, the Wellbrooke Knights also suffered the same fate.

    After never encountering the EU Sixth Army and losing two knights, the Emperor quickly realized that Barclay had led the entire Sixth Army's mobile troops to fight the largest guerrilla war in the world.

    In the next two days, because the Imperial Army's troops were shrinking, many small troops were still attacked, and the supply lines were also in danger.

    But when the main force of the Imperial Army successfully advanced to Tallinn, the capital of Ethalia, they received a declaration of non-resistance and neutrality from the Tallinn city government to the Imperial Army. They understood more clearly than anyone else what this action meant.  Schneizel's face was filled with an unprecedented layer of frost.

    Regardless of whether the EU Republic can win this battle, Admiral Barclay's political future can be concluded to be over.  But what Barclay sacrificed his future for was an imperial nightmare.

    "It must be solved as soon as possible." After crumpling the information in his hand, Schneizel whispered to himself with a serious face.

    "Send out all early warning aircraft, as well as military satellites, to make sure you understand all the actions of the Sixth Army."

    Unlike those small-scale guerrillas or terrorists, the hit-and-run tactics of an entire group army's mobile troops spread out are extremely deterrent.

    "The method of compressing the guerrillas' living space cannot be used here at all. Too few troops will be eaten up. But if you want to mobilize a sufficient number of troops to carry out encirclement operations, XiunaiYou don't have such a large force at the moment.

    "Invite Mr. Shumu, I have a separate task for him." After Schneizel gave the order, he turned to Kanon and said.

    ?¡­

    "I didn't expect that EU would have such an interesting character. It's a pity to let him die like this." Kamyu, who also witnessed the entire battle, said with emotion.

    "Does Lord Kamyu want to poach you again? Above."

    "This is a good suggestion, but Barclay must die." Camiyu's answer was unexpected.

    "EU must lose. In fact, I don't think Brother Huang will lose. It's just"

    Kamyu paused for a moment.

    "Although I'm sorry for the emperor, I don't want the emperor to win too much."

    "So?"

    "Let the Free Army start to move. If you don't contact combat, you will always be just a group of rookies, and"

    Camillo walked towards the door.

    "Musashi, let's become pirates."
