There are many cases in the world where the ambition of some people has promoted the whole history.Those who believe that individual ambition can move history are not alone.It is precisely because of this kind of people who believe in their beliefs and put them into action that hundreds of thousands of wars have occurred in human history.However, as the saying goes: no wind, no waves, no salary, no fire. At the beginning of 2190 in the Western calendar, the person who instigated the city of New Camelot to launch a war of intervention against Eclonia was named Charles Colin Mobridge Junia.It is the same person who pushed Buenos Sondi into a crisis of disintegration in June 2193.After three years of wandering and dodging, Mobridge Junia finally found someone who could satisfy his desire for conspiracy.

May of 2193 in the Western calendar.Among the seven cities scattered on the surface of the earth, there was another move that disappointed the goddess of peace to the point of being sick and bedridden.This time the stage is Buenos Sondi. Buenos Sundi, one of the seven metropolises, has been in ugly disorder and chaos since last year.The dictator Egon Lauderup withdrew from the dual stages of politics and life at the same time, and Jonta Norut, who shot the death penalty declaration in his heart, kicked down the seat of power imposed on him and fled from his mother. city.Behind him is the fallen seat of power, and the bewildered citizens surrounding the throne.

After a brief period of liberation, the citizens began to act.The situation after that, although regrettable, cannot be called a model.Citizens are keen on political warfare, more than 30 small groups roar and bite each other, and the final victory is two large groups full of aggressiveness and exclusiveness. They are the "Bow Tie Party" and the "Black Ribbon Party". The names of these two groups can make the uninformed laugh.However, as long as I know a little bit of inside information, I am afraid that the smile will freeze.Although it is not possible to confirm the name, it is generally believed to be the name of the homeopathic birth.No matter which one is the product of the supreme darkness and turbidity.Driven by hatred and hatred, these two groups attacked each other's members in the dark night and used lynching, resulting in more than a hundred victims.The punishment they used most was the old hanging.Many activists were hanged by them on street lamps or bridge rails. When they were executed, the color of the rope wrapped around their necks and the method of knotting became the name of the party.

The struggle that has been expanding since the end of the previous year is no longer a political struggle, but a terrorist activity.Although both the Bowknot Party and the Black Ribbon Party have put forward similar political propositions, their essence is nothing more than "give power to us".The leader of the Black Ribbon Party is named Perudo, and the leader of the Bowknot Party is Mlad.They were the little ones who had escaped the purge of Egon Lauderup.It's just an existence raised by political turmoil, so naturally it is impossible to have any strong leadership.Among them, there are enough gaps for wandering careerists to take advantage of their business.

Mobridge Junia deserves admiration, perhaps, for his conviction and drive.He could indeed be called an unyielding egoist, if he did not talk about the content of his beliefs and the meaning of his actions.For his own interests and ambitions, he can do whatever it takes. In the battle from the Arctic coast to the Lena River, his plot against the city of Ekronia was completely defeated, and his whereabouts are unknown after that.During that blank period, there is no way of knowing where and what kind of life he lived.But when he turns up in the chaotic and lost city of Buenos Sundi, he doesn't look too down and out.Still, it seems like a lot of work has gone into acting and money to put on a good face.In a word, the wandering youths are at ease in the political trek in Buenos Sondi, which is full of crime and crude schemes, and they have become political dark horses in a short period of time.The means can only be called magic.He kept equal distance from the two parties of terrorist organizations, and gathered people who hated both parties, and regarded himself as their boss.

It is not easy to clearly distinguish ideals from ambitions.If the former is only the whitewash of the latter, it is easier to judge.The most confusing situation is that there is me in you and you in me, and it is difficult for the parties themselves to distinguish.Egon Lauderup, who once ruled the city of Buenos Sundi, is an example.He is a man who can deceive even himself. Mobridge Junia is fundamentally the same as Egon Laudrup.Although he is often regarded as a copycat of Lauderup, in terms of toughness, perhaps he is far superior to Lauderup.Laudrup holds the dictatorship, while Mobridge Jonya fights the world with his bare hands.Just relying on his ambition, talent, and persistence, he wants the world to revolve around him.

Although the number is small, there are people who know Mobridge Junia's true intentions. They pointed out: "Mobridge Junia has no attachment to our city. To him, we The city is just a prop to realize his ambitions. Entrusting the fate of the city to him can be said to be tantamount to suicide.” This kind of opinion is often ignored when it is spoken.Mobridge Junia was very astute, and he did not make a direct counterattack to such criticism and censure.While wandering, his ability to deal with people seems to be more refined. “I lost my home city to return to, and I have nowhere to go but Buenos Sondi as my destination. Although I deeply regret that some people can’t understand this. But I don’t intend to blame They, because they are also people who love this city", is really an extraordinary statement.Of course it was just lip service, but considering that the other two sects didn't even have such verbal decorations, it was reasonable that Mobridge Junia's evaluation could be improved relatively.In this way, his power grew secretly, and finally reached the level of being on an equal footing with the Bowknot Party and the Black Ribbon Party.

Since it is impossible to suppress the other two factions at the same time with one's own strength, how can one lead the goddess of victory to one's own camp? Although there have been countless precedent methods in history, they chose to use others to abduct the goddess.The Ribbon Party applied to the city of New Camelot, and the Black Ribbon Party applied to the city of Eccleonia for assistance.Before the attitudes of the other two cities became clear, a rather oolong thing happened.At first, the Black Ribbon Party wanted to cooperate with New Camelot, and the Bowknot Party planned to cooperate with Ecronia, but they both misunderstood that the opposing camps were going to reach out to their marriage partners, so they hurriedly panicked. Changed object.

In order to please their partners, the two parties easily sold out the rights and interests of the mother city.Whether it is New Camelot or Love Coronia, they all fell into lust with joy in the end. In this way, the interference between New Camelot and Eclonia immediately jumped from the psychological level to the physical level.Although it is not a product of confrontational consciousness, but due to similar concerns, the results are similar.In other words, self-interest.For the sake of profit, the vision becomes narrow, and then begins to rely on strength instead of reason.During this period, the two city governments launched threats and confrontations called diplomatic representations several times.

"Please don't meddle in Buenos Sundi's affairs." "This sentence is for me to say, please put away your dirty hands. The official government of Buenos Sundi has applied to the city for assistance." "What kind of official is that? It's just a hysterical group composed of dissatisfied elements. If you are yearning for real peace and order, how could you not come to seek our help? Is that the attitude of a conscientious patriot?" "I was surprised to hear the word "conscience". People who blame other people's misfortunes in order to expand their own power dare to speak of conscience. How shameless!"

"It's in your nature not to be ashamed!" On the one hand, they are fighting with each other, and on the other hand, they urgently mobilize the army.The two cities have great confidence in their military strength, and the temptation to defeat each other is equally great.Therefore, in terms of diplomatic efforts, both sides have no choice but to take it seriously. It should be meaningless to confirm who did what in every speech.With the background of military strength, government personnel who pursue the law of the jungle diplomacy, their mental structure shows a similarity like twins.If you regard this as a stage play, you don't even need to mention the personalities of each person, just use "Diplomat A" or "Soldier B" to describe it. The two cities spent four long hours flaunting themselves and slandering others, and finally turned their faces gratifyingly. "You can do whatever you want, and we will do whatever you want."There was a bad relationship between New Camelot and Eclonia City.It was fate born of the intervention of Mobridge Junia.A few years ago, during the offensive and defensive battle in the Beiru Strait, a six-city alliance including the two cities was established, and they thought they would let go of the past like this.But now it seems that the fleeting forgiveness has been abandoned, and the old hostility has been rekindled.Looking at it from another perspective, New Camelot and Ecclelonia City have not learned the lessons of the past, and are once again drawn to dance by Mobridge Junia's magic flute.However, such a ridiculous thing, the people involved seem to have not noticed it at all. In early June, the final formal negotiations between the two cities were held as scheduled. "Let's just confirm again, your city really doesn't intend to stay away from military conflicts." "This city has always practiced what it says and does what it says. Unlike your city, we don't use rhetoric but talk but don't practice." "Very well, please don't forget what you said in the future." Although the language used is a bit convoluted.But the mental level is no different from that of a kindergarten urchin.The more entangled with desires, the more filthy they are, and the larger the scale, the more unlucky people there will be.Although the makeup was heavy and the honor of righteousness was smeared, the first unlucky ones were the soldiers who were forced to go out. New Camelot's military strength is excellent.Of course, the hardware is not a problem, especially the combat command ability of senior generals is highly praised.To put it to the extreme, only one person bears such a price.He is Lieutenant General Kenez Kilford, Commander of the Amphibious Forces. Kenez Kilford must be a just man.Treating people is always equal indifference.He will not change his attitude because of different objects, nor will he make things difficult for others when the other party observes etiquette.At only thirty-two years old, he possesses a tough calmness and composure, which makes those older politicians feel oppressed.To tell the truth, the dignitaries of the government have always kept him at a respectful distance.But because there is no military strategist who can be trusted more than him, once the army is dispatched, he can only be appointed as the commander.This time is no exception.The city government dared to become tough precisely because it felt that Lieutenant General Kilford was behind him.As far as Gilvert was concerned, this cheap trust made him very unhappy. "Our government seems to mistakenly think that the more useless troops can consume human lives and materials, the more fruitful they can be. Incompetent politicians just like to play with the military. It's really troublesome." However, Kilford never said so in public.There are indeed human beings with inferior personalities in the world. If they know that soldiers are criticizing politicians, they will immediately jump out and croak and be boring.Half of them will flatter politicians and suppress soldiers.The remaining half will flatter the soldiers and belittle politicians in order to expand the power of the soldiers so that they can get some benefits.Although Gilford hated incompetent politicians, he even hated being praised by people with bad character. As the proper norms of a national republic, the military must be subordinate to politics, and never the other way around.It is precisely because of this consideration that Kilford will obey the government's order.In fact, it's like savoring the bad days.Especially seeing those big men who put soldiers' lives in danger, regard the power originally entrusted to him by the citizens as their own private property, and use it everywhere for their own benefit, which makes him even more tired.Instead of going to war, it is better to clean your body first to get rid of the rancid smell on your body.Not long ago, Kilford had the following conversation with a young politician. "Just now, you said that politicians should not be judged by morals and ethics, but by policies and capabilities. Is that right?" "yes." "This kind of line, only good politicians are qualified to say. It is not used to let corrupt and incompetent politicians justify themselves." Even so, the power to order Kilford to send troops is in their hands, and Kilford cannot refuse. On the other hand, in Cyronia.The situation in this city is somewhat similar to that of New Camelot.Lieutenant General Almalik Asbaru, known as the AAA, enjoys a high reputation as a commander.This man's attitude towards politicians is far more disrespectful than Kilford's.Facing the application of the head of state Nicholas Bloom to send troops, he initially sneered. To the astonishment of this proud man, Nicholas Bloom actually looked secretly happy.After deliberately looking around, he lowered his voice and said a word to AAA.The surrounding staff members pricked up their ears at the same time. "Mobridge Junia is still alive, it has been confirmed that he is in Buenos Sundi City." The effect of his words is not so much a bomb as it is similar to poisonous gas.The faces of the staff slowly changed with expressions as if poison gas had penetrated their trachea. (Illustration 13) Mobridge Junia was a man who would have been the head of the city of Ekolonia if his father had lived five more years.After being exiled from the city, he actually invaded his mother city by force with the help of New Camelot.To Ekronia, he was the worst traitor ever, the unforgiving enemy.Three years ago, after his crushing defeat to AAA at the Battle of the Lena River, his whereabouts are unknown.Everyone thought that he had died in poverty in some unknown land. The news of Mobridge Junia's survival surprised even AAA.Although death has not been confirmed, it is not inconceivable that he is still alive.But no one wants him to die a bad death. "Is that bastard immortal? Probably everyone in the seven cities is dead, so he can survive alone. Maybe it's a famous saying when a villain becomes powerful." AAA cursed.The last part of the statement was not self-reflection.Watching his reaction, Nicholas Bloom thought the coaxing had succeeded.He himself was uneasy about the presence of Mobridge Junia.So it would be too dangerous to use AAA's hand to exclude this man who is simply regarded as a political enemy.Of course, he wouldn't say what he meant. In this way, the two cities of New Camelot and Eclonia decided to send troops. The mobilized forces are as follows: New Camelot Army under the command of Lieutenant General Kenez Kilford, with a total of 34,600 people centered on the amphibious force.Under the command of Lieutenant General Almalik Asbaru, the Ecronia Army consisted of 36,900 soldiers with the Armored Field Army as the main force.The number of people is lower than the actual mobilizable number, that is to say, the implementation of minority eliteism. After all, military power is constrained by economic power.No matter which of the seven cities, while enjoying military adventures, they have to avoid the economic and social damage caused by war.Just like what Long Wei, who runs a farm on the outskirts of Tedomeka City, said to his diner Jongta Norut, "The reason why I want to play those bad games without harming my health, Probably because I believe I am young and strong." Speaking of which, just as the two cities of New Camelot and Eclonia were engaged in a fierce military gamble, there was a city that was outraged by their actions.That is the city of Prince Haralut, who claims to be the overlord of the Antarctic continent. "Both geographically and historically, our city has a close relationship with Buenos Sondi. After the greedy New Camelot and the hungry wolf-like Ekronia invaded Buino How can our city stand idly by when Si Songdi endangers citizens and plunders resources?" In short, we also have to send troops.Prince Haralut City and Buenos Sundi City are indeed closely related, but it is not a good relationship.Be attacked and repel, invade and be repelled.In the battle of Poluda Nikolai and Beru Strait, both of them lost many lives.They seem to be planning to end this bad relationship. If they win, they will be able to weaken the enemy's power and secure a lot of rights and interests. Lieutenant General Carlisle Schuttemez is the commander of Prince Haralut City's official army.He is a thirty-four-year-old man with somewhat slender hands and feet.A family of one wife and three children—it would have been disastrous if the numbers had been reversed.Compared with Deputy Commander Yuri Kurogan, he is generally regarded as a gentle and normal person.Because there is no human being with a worse personality than Krugon on the Antarctic continent, so I don't know if this is a compliment. "It's okay, I will win this time." The politician, who confidently promised so, deliberately ignored Shutemiz's displeased expression. "Last time it failed because the mixed troops of the Six-Cities United Army lacked a unified command. This time, it was the enemy who messed up." Can this be called a constructive thought?Shutemiz wanted to look through the dictionary in his mind, but in the end it turned into a long sigh.Now that a decision has been made at the political level.For Shutemiz, the only thing he can do is to do his best within the authority he has been given. "Besides, there is no Jonta Norut in Buenos Songdi right now, so even you guys can win, right?" Disrespect, faux pas, indecent blend, the politician boasted.It is understandable for Shutemiz to be angry at this time, but he did not show an angry face, because he knew that even if he got angry at this kind of opponent, he would not get any benefits.As far as he is concerned, there are other things that he has to consider for his subordinates who are about to go to war and himself. "Eccleronia, New Camelot, the two cities have been accumulating combat power since the offensive and defensive battle of the Beru Strait. If they really plan to go out, it may change the situation." "Then it's even more impossible to hand over Buinos Sondi to them." …After finishing the fruitless conversation and preparing to walk away, Shutemiz caught a glimpse of the primary-colored flowers blooming everywhere in the government garden.He didn't do much research on flower names, so he could only stare blankly at it. At this moment, some passages in the conversation just now suddenly recalled in his mind.So say those in power who forced him to fight. "...No matter how much the armies of New Camelot and Ecronia fight each other, it is their freedom, but the flames of war cannot spread to the urban area of ​​Buenos Sundi. Since Buenos・The Songdi City government can no longer protect the safety of the citizens, so we must protect the city. Be careful not to destroy the city.” Protection is a nice word to say.Shutemiz couldn't help laughing bitterly. "What is the difference between greed and miserliness?" For this proposition, there are the following answers. "Greed loves war, miserliness loves peace."Although it is only a one-sided truth, if it is a pity to destroy buildings and consume supplies, it is natural to not want to start a war.There's nothing wrong with that.But this time, the object of avoiding destruction is not his own city, but someone else's city, and he has to send his own army to interfere in front of the army of other cities.This is not a simple problem, but a paradoxical requirement.In Shutemiz's view, it was unbearable. At this time, Shutemiz was too confused and embarrassed, and became a prisoner of primitive pantheism.While worrying about the fate of the soldiers who went to war, he wondered whether the flowers on the roadside were also home to elves, and finally paid homage to the flowers. "Please help. I'm really lost, please help them." Seeing the Commander's idiotically worshiping flowers from a distance, Yuri Kurogan snorted coldly.If the opponent wasn't Shutemiz, he would have already run over and kicked the opponent away from behind.In the eyes of this pretentious and humble military strategist, it is better to worship himself than to worship flowers and flowers. In fact, Kurugan was in charge of the commander-in-chief of the Prince Haralut Army.Shutemiz is responsible for preparing supplies, approving battle plans, negotiating with politicians, and creating an environment for Kurugon to show his talents.Ever since these two men came together, Prince Haralut's army had never suffered a purely military defeat. The power of the seven cities is basically balanced.Population, military power, industrial and peasant productivity, social capital accumulation, and statistics in various other fields, there is no obvious big difference between the seven cities.Although that is the result of full consideration by the residents of the lunar cities who built the Seven Cities.The efforts of the citizens and governments of each city to carry out their own municipal operations have also had a great impact.However, the balance of power has in turn stimulated the spiritual soil of careerists.Those ambitious people think that if they can suppress another city and put it under their control, they can use this as capital to overwhelm other cities, and then it is possible to expand their control one by one like dominoes.It would not be an exaggeration to say that this was the root cause of the military conflict that swept across the seven cities in 2193. "We will never lose this time," the judges of the three cities all judged.As long as they don't regard failure as an aesthetic self-absorbed pervert who reverses right and wrong, anyone will start the war of foreign conquest after confirming the odds of winning, but half of them have committed a calculation somewhere in the winning formula mistake. "How can there be any idiots in this world who send troops just for the sake of failure? But they think they are the only ones who have the chance to win. What a bunch of unimaginative guys, they're just a bunch of pigs." Seeing Kurogan who was cursing the government in a cold tone, Shutemize persuaded as if comforting. "Well~~ This is going to be hard. Please, you are our army's only hope." "How about you ask the flowers and plants?" Kurogan was talking about Shutemiz's pilgrimage to flowers before, and Kurogan seemed to hold a grudge against it.Isn't it reliable enough to have me?That's what he meant.This is not so much a matter of Kulugang's impulsiveness, it is better to say it is due to childishness.Shutemiz blinked, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.Although Shutemiz is inferior to Kurogan in terms of talent and vigor.But the smoothness and tolerance of personality are far better than Kurugang.It turns out that without Shutemiz, Kurugon would not be able to display his genius. After deciding to mobilize 41,200 people, the compilation work began against the clock.During this time, Kurogan asked Shutemiz suddenly. "Speaking of Buenos Sondi, what is that Jonta Norut doing in Tedomeka?" "I heard they are growing tomatoes. No, they are potatoes. Whatever it is, it's nice to be able to live in peace." "Peace……" "People probably have different ideals, but I don't think I can deny his way of life." Don't say no, Carlisle Schuttemitz's expression clearly showed uncontrollable envy.Yuri Kurogan showed a look that wanted to snort again.This man clearly neither cared nor respected Shutemiz, yet he was able to settle down to the position of adjutant commander under Shutemiz. It was a wonderful thing. After entering July, the Eccleronian army led by AAA reached a point 100 kilometers away from the city of Buenos Sundi. "Street battles should be avoided, and it is against humanitarianism to involve citizens directly in the flames of war." AAA's speech is high-sounding, and of course it is not empty words.Only the unspoken part is his real thought.Street warfare will destroy the social capital of the city and reduce the cost performance of war.It is necessary to provide food or medicine to the citizens affected by the war, establish temporary residential areas, and rebuild roads, wires, telephone networks, etc.In terms of hardware alone, you have to pay a huge amount for it.What's more, if the loss is a lot of lives and talents, I don't know how long it will take to recover. Just when AAA was full of worries and was deliberating over countermeasures, it received a contact from a confused person.Perudo, the leader of the Black Ribbon Party, sneaks out of the city and visits his headquarters.Although the hands are empty, the gift is already on the tongue. "After obtaining the throne of the first citizen, I want to hand over the honorary defense prime minister of our city to General Asbaru. It doesn't matter if this matter is settled by contract. I wonder what the general wants?" To the effect. The elements of worldly desires in AAA's personality are very rich.Want to eat delicious food, want to embrace beautiful women, and want to make annoying guys unhappy.He was frank and natural about it.But there has never been a situation where reason is eroded by desire.In his opinion, a man like Perudo cannot be trusted at all.The action power is indeed sufficient, but it is a character who lacks a sense of spiritual direction.Too much blood has been shed in vain. Signing a contract with such a person in a daze, maybe in the future they will use this contract as evidence to force themselves to submit.It should be dealt with calmly at the moment. "I'm just doing my duty as a public servant of Ekronia City. After the liberation of Buenos Sundi City, let's talk like that again." Although it is a model of insincerity and nonsense.But because there is no need to pay taxes, AAA still agreed.Even if the leader of the Black Ribbon Party really believed in him and suffered as a result, AAA would not frown. "No matter what, I don't want to go too far. The members of the Black Ribbon Party should hold the real power and reputation. There must be more or less people who are suitable for the throne of defense prime minister." To lure the party leader back, the Black Ribbon Party must do its best to hinder the advance of Lieutenant General Kenez Kilford.And AAA itself must take the city of Buenos Sundi unscathed. "Peel off the beautiful woman's clothes without hurting an inch of skin. It's really a problem." AAA staff responded to his statement with silence.Some people are sure to find this an extremely tasteless metaphor. AAA does not care about the inner world of its staff.The new Camelot army that has already appeared, and the Prince Haralut army that will soon appear, how to meet these two great enemies is more important.The current situation of the Eccleronian Army is not going well.Everyone knows how to control both sides of the Beru Strait, so of course Buenos Sundi obstructed and blocked the strait. By successfully blocking the strait, they cut off the Eccleronian army's attack route from the sea.General Almalik Asbaru, who is known as AAA, may repeat the failure of the Beiru Strait offensive and defensive battle if he continues like this.So of course he didn't intend to settle for this predicament. "What has happened is irreversible, but there is no obligation to let us suffer misfortune. Let the New Camelot Army also experience misfortune." My unhappiness is their unhappiness, and their unhappiness is still their own.Silently chanting lines to make the lower-level demons happy. AAA contained sincerity and enthusiasm, and began to prepare to drag Kenez Kilford's hind legs. Of course, Kilford didn't have any good intentions for AAA from the very beginning. He knew very well that AAA was a guy who was not easy to provoke.I have fully experienced it in the offensive and defensive battle of the Beru Strait.He carefully observed the movements of the Eccleronian Army, and when AAA began to block the road between the New Camelot Army and the streets of Buenos Sundi, he also started to act.On the surface, it seems that it is being suppressed by the Eccleronian army and retreating into the strait, and will be caught in a dilemma.In fact, everything is in his calculations.The new Camelot army marched in a hurry, detoured to the back of the Caludinas Hill at a jaw-dropping speed, and occupied it after two hours of fierce fighting.The unassailable Carudinas hills fell so easily.The fact that the impossible in the Battle of Beru Strait has now become possible is ample evidence of the lack of talent in the Buenos Sondi Army. Upon hearing the report of the fall of the Caludinas Hills, AAA tried to look contemptuous. "Let's give the Beru Strait to Kilfort. My goal is the city of Buenos Sundi itself. It's nothing more than a mountain at most, so there's no need to feel sorry." This can be called rhetoric. AAA wanted to surprise Kilford, but no one thought that would be an easy job.Astonishing Gilbert was a challenge that rivaled getting along with Yuri Kurugon. AAA is by no means a hater puzzle.But it is insensitive to combine meaningless folly with difficult problems to produce the children of disaster.In fact, he has a hole card in his hand that can perform thaumaturgy.Before leaving Ekronia City, a box containing tomatoes and potatoes was delivered to his official residence from the distant city of Tedomerca. AAA thought of the friend who could be called his mentor in politics and strategy, so he got in touch with him in the name of a thank you letter.Then he received a reply from Longwei called "Tomato Communication".The chance of using this hole card depends on the arrangement of AAA.But before that, a certain level of military victory was necessary. On July 9th, the Prince Haralut Army finally landed on the west bank of the Beru Strait and expanded its forces.Their headquarters made the following announcement to the headquarters of the other two armies that arrived earlier. "If any army takes the initiative to attack the city, our army will actively play the mission of maintaining peace. Please respect yourself." To show the meaning of insisting on peacekeeping - this is only on the surface.The true intentions of Prince Haralut's army were clearly seen by the other two parties.When the Ecclelonian army and the New Camelot army are at war, find an excuse to support one side and severely attack the other side.And after the two armies exchanged fire and suffered certain damages, they put out almost unscathed troops, and they could gain the benefits of the fisherman without any effort. "What a cunning method. It must have been thought up by that weird villain Kulugang, and that guy would make such a bad move." As soon as the AAA finished speaking, the senior adjutant Colonel Bozwill immediately raised a question of a linguistic nature.What does weirdo mean? AAA replied: "Weird plus villain." "Isn't it difficult to have both elements at the same time?" "That guy can have both, it's a rare breed." Convinced that he lacked both of these elements, AAA lashed out at Krugon's personality.However, he had to admit with a straight face that Kurugang's judgment was correct.Especially in terms of gains and losses.And if he is right, then AAAA belongs to the wrong camp, if he is wise, then AAAA and they are stupid.It was this unpleasant conclusion that was drawn at the end. In the temporary headquarters in the tent, AAA has prepared more than thirty military maps.With all the maps on the ground, AAA propped up his hands and knees, moving his eyes and fingertips intently.This man has a visual imagination beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he can construct the corresponding terrain in his mind with only one contour line. "Since they captured the Caludinas Hill, the New Camelot Army must use this route to detour to the city and appear from behind our army. Then, stop them at this mountain pass." At one point on the map on the AAA finger, the name "Morelia Pass" is marked.A few years ago, during the offensive and defensive battle of the Beru Strait, the Allied Forces of the Six Cities could not approach this mountain pass at all. AAA also fails to develop its sense of geography. "Is that really the case?" "If that boy Kilford was half as smart as I am, he'd do that." AAA answered the common-sense questions of Colonel Bozwillow without hesitation.Of course, the importance of the military geography of the Morelia Pass is needless to say. If Kilford takes control of this place, the city of Buenos Sundi and the Eccleronian Army will all fall under his control. "At that time, what should we do?" "Yes. Then play cards and hang yourself one by one in the order in which you lose all your money." After saying the clumsy joke in a boring tone, AAA stepped out of the tent and looked into the distance with a telescope in hand. In his field of vision, the scenery of Paradise was not reflected.Or should I say the opposite.It seems to be a devil's disaster vegetable that is boiling and bubbling.Humans, weapons, and ammunition were stuffed into it, melting and decomposing under the envelope of heat and light.Although it was a small-scale war, the Buinos Sondi Army standing in front of the Eccleronian Army was, to be precise, an extremely tenacious fighting force of the Bowknot Party. "We will accomplish nothing unless we stop the New Camelot Army at the Morelia Pass." AAA thought so.If it was an ordinary commander, he would probably worry about targeted tactics and strategies.But this man's idea was very cunning, or should I say brazen.He intends to retain the combat power of his own army, and instead push the army of the Black Ribbon Party to the formidable enemy of Kenez Kilford. Sergeant Bozwell, who was standing beside him, asked suddenly as if he was chatting away. "What is the last thing you want to die for Your Excellency?" "When I went into the toilet, I was caught in a gas explosion." "My oldest sister's second husband said the last thing he wanted was to die of food poisoning from eating expired food." "...No matter what, it is death outside the battlefield." AAA想去问问在最前线与死亡恐怖同衾的士兵们是如何感想的,AAA根本不信士兵们会希望在战场上英雄般死去。 这世上不会有永无止境的战斗。稍微有点脑子的人,都会在建立作战方案之时考虑一下战争结束之后的事。不过那些政治家的脑中只会考虑获胜后的财富分配,而不会考虑远征本身的困难与否。 事到如今再提出来,已经为时过晚。补给线过长,各都市军长途奔波到达战场,接着又必须长途奔波赶回去。其中消耗了多少能源与物资?如果当真打算侵略的话,就该在目标都市的周围建设战略桥头堡以及补给、作战行动的根据地。当然了,这些都是不可能的要求。 “补给物资不够用的话,就只有撤退了。” AAA表情突然严肃起来。这和数年前一样,在缺粮少弹的情况下进行苦斗恶战,为母都市贡献生命之类的受虐倾向与AAA无缘。 就在AAA斟酌对策之时,凯涅滋·基尔伏特准从卡路迪那斯丘陸向莫雷利亚山口进军了。 “……我说啊,那些政治家每年每年发动战争,真不会腻味呢。” 士兵们的对话顺风传入基尔伏特耳中。 “战争这种东西和恋爱一样。谁都不想自己苦闷,但看他人辛苦却有趣得很啊。” “说得好像挺知情的嘛。” “不就那回事吗。你以为他们是大人物,就会考虑什么高尚的事吗?不要做梦啦。” 士兵同时也是市民。并且对于当权者们来说只是单纯的数字。在选举时是选票,在交税时是一张纳税卡,随后在战争时是一介消耗品。虽然那就是现实,但总觉得这其中哪里错了。指挥官专用的装甲车上,基尔伏特面色不快地沉默着。 这一天,七月十八日,新·卡米洛特军的行动区域被薄雾覆盖视野状况并不理想。贝鲁海峡攻防战以来,基尔伏特似乎从未被气象所眷顾。 “要是能在天空飞翔就好了。从空中侦探敌军状况的话,肯定相当有利。” 幕僚中的罗赛维茨中佐长叹道。 “我可不想连天空都成为战场。” 基尔伏特喃喃自语着,视线转向天空一角。在他视线的彼方,应该漂浮着“奥林帕斯系统”的一部分。设计这个系统之人,或许是正确的吧?这个想法刚刚通过他的心理地平线,基尔伏特就微微皱起了眉头。这真是毫无意义的感伤。就算阻碍了一方的利己主义,也不应该就此美化另一方的利己主义。 十四时二十分,新·卡米洛特军与布阵在莫雷利亚山口的敌军前哨部队遭遇了。兵力对比大概在二十比一。少数的敌部队毫无战意,迅速撤离阵地,与挤在山口上方的大部队合流。就这样,十四时五十分,在迷雾笼罩中,战斗开始了。 "Fire!" 余音还未消退,枪声早已四处响起。高密度的火力瞬间将空间埋没,莫雷利亚山口的坡道在子弹洗礼中烟尘飘忽,与雾气混合之后朦朦胧胧地盖住了视野。 血与火药的气息中,狙击手们的嗅觉达到饱和状态,强烈的刺激让人陆续忍不住打起喷嚏。甚至还有人流出鼻血。即便如此,却依旧热心于不断射击,制造大量死亡的工作。 不可否认在轻易夺取卡路迪那斯丘陵后,新·卡米洛特军有些松弛了。卡路迪那斯丘陵本身并不是要害,因为有琼汰·诺儒特的指挥能力与防御构想,才使得那里成为要害。而莫雷利亚山口怎么看都成不了第二个卡路迪那斯丘陵。在冷静透彻的基尔伏特指挥下,十六时就让敌火力中的八成沉默,前线阵地也推进到山口中腹。可是山口顶端位置的敌军阵地非常顽强,为了攻破那里,罗赛维茨中佐挑起了前进指挥的重任。 基尔伏特对中佐下达了简短的指示。 “保持这个距离,使用迫击炮。” 也就是说对山脊线另一面无法看见的敌军,动用迫击炮从他们脑袋上方进行炮击。 “不能让装甲车做先锋强行突破吗?” 罗赛维茨的提案,基尔伏特只回答了一句“无用”,并未对理由进行说明。本来,基尔伏特的威信在军中根深蒂固,但此时罗赛维茨却好像着了魔般固执于自己的意见。比起迫击炮,他更想用装甲使冲击莫雷利亚山口,踢飞黑绸带党的枪口。就这样,最后定为由十五台装甲车和二千四百名步兵向山口进军。 黑绸带的游击战术,让凯涅滋·基尔伏特准之流的杰出指挥官都不禁陷入意外的难关。他们在莫雷利亚的坡道上喷水,破坏水道管,使坡道变成“水流阶梯”。这是远远无法到达洪水规模的水量,在新·卡米洛特军的军官看来,是一场可笑的儿戏。但一夜过后,他们就再也笑不出来了。敌军使用冷冻机,将覆盖坡道表面的水流冻结,水流阶梯变成了世界最长的溜冰场。 就算想前进,也因军靴底部打滑而不可能。为了不打滑就只能抓住石头等东西,这样一来便无法自由行动。新·卡米洛特的士兵只能被人瞄准,然后被一枪一个放倒。如此郁闷且悲惨的战死大概很罕见吧。 当装甲车想破冰前进之时,黑绸带军再次放水。水流弄湿并冻结装甲车的车轮,阻止装甲车的前进。就在装甲车无法动弹之时,黑绸带军点燃浇下的石油。橙色的火炎化为火龙之舌袭向装甲车。惊慌失措的士兵们一个个跳出车外。火势飞烧到装甲车,点燃了油箱,一声轰鸣装甲车就被炸上了天。橙色的火焰向天空飞舞,车轮燃烧着从坡道上滚滚而下。一片混乱中到处受到攻击,新·卡米洛特军的阵亡人数进一步增加。 罗赛维茨中佐第一次领悟到司令拒绝以装甲车进行强行突破的理由。面无血色的罗赛维茨感到无地自容,没脸再去见司令。就在他不知如何是好之时,基尔伏特中将派遣的援军到达了。援军张开厚实的弹幕,阻止黑绸带军的追击。一边给己方再次编成队形的机会,一边巧妙地进行后退战。新·卡米洛特军的死伤者因此而意外地减少了,但还是有四百名以上的士兵被留在了这里,永远无法回到母都市。 援军是由基尔伏特中将亲自指挥的,最初一轮的齐射喝阻了当头的黑绸带军,接着以只有用神技才能形容的时间把握,重复射击与后退,在几乎没有遭到损伤的情况下,后撤了三公里。 然而就在此时,一枚炮弹在他附近爆炸,碎片四射。其中一枚碎片正好刺入凯涅滋·基尔伏特准穿着的军服衣领中。长度四厘米,尖端成15度锐角的丑陋小弹片,就在基尔伏特颈动脉五厘米远的地方随风摇晃。险些死于非命的基尔伏特,脸色不变地拔出碎片。随后不仅完美地导演了一场后退战,而且在刚刚立足稳妥后,立马转入反击。 另一边,AAA正心想黑绸军要比预料中更努力呢。顺利的话,也许能把新·卡米洛特军变成各个击破的对象。在AAA胸中,微小野心的风媒花如棉絮般飞扬而起。不过,要盛开新的花朵,大概得在收拾了眼前的敌人蝴蝶结党之后的事了吧。 “不过,这些家伙意外难啃呢……” AAA不禁为之咋舌。黑绸带党也好蝴蝶结党也罢,无论是政治上还是军事上都不过是二流以下的存在。本来是不可能对抗基尔伏特或是AAA的作战指挥,可令人惊讶的是他们却如此顽强地不断抗战着。 “让乌合之众拥有自信与抗战力的是贝鲁海峡的胜利吗?” 这样一想,AAA不禁为因果报应的强大感到一阵寒意。那些自称贤达的人士真不该如此轻巧地运用军队。托他们的福,AAA无法取得战果,无法提升士气,只能增加伤亡。至少凯涅滋·基尔伏特准也陷于苦战中,虽然存在这种次元低下的安慰。但也没能持续多久。 “新·卡米洛特军正从后方接近。” 这份报告送达时,AAA正盘着双手,随即又盘起了双脚,把组装式椅子弄得前后摇摆。 “迂回成功了吗?真是个不可爱的家伙。嘛~~原本我就知道不会这么顺利。那么,接下来该怎么办呢……” 盘在一起的双腕松了开来,AAA盯着天花板。他面临着一个重大的选择。该与骁将凯涅滋·基尔伏特准决一雌雄吗?这想法刚冒出来,一阵兴奋的战栗便如电流般穿透过背脊。但他很快便把这种军国式的浪漫置之脑后。如果是赌上母都市兴衰成败之战的话也许另当别论,但要在此处与雄敌争个你死我活,可就太愚蠢了。 “要不要试试龙威的构想?” 正当决心将秤砣的一端加重之时,收到了鲍兹威鲁大佐的联络。他带来了从遥远母都市爱克尔罗尼亚发来的通信。元首尼柯拉斯·布鲁姆阁下向司令询问战况。 AAA刚接起通信,耳边立即涌入一堆苦水。元首要求尽早占领布伊诺斯·松迪。 “在地图上,不是只有五厘米的距离吗?如此短的距离,为何不能克服?应该让使命感和责任感为你们加快脚步。” “要不要我帮你把舌头给弄长个十厘米?” AAA在心中如此回答道。 “这样就能伸到脖子了吧。你使用的地图,比率尺似乎挺大。不知有没有记载通往地狱的距离呢?” 不过,他真正说出口的只有短短的一句。 “我正在采取最好的措施,元首阁下。” 没有消耗一丝诚意结束了与元首的通信,AAA随即立刻与别一个人取得了联系。这就算被人认为是通敌也并不过为。因为这个男人竟然胆大包天地以通常通信方式把新·卡米洛特军基尔伏特中将叫到了通信屏幕前。 “特地把你找来,真是不好意思。我有件好事要和你谈。” 他以亲密友人般的口吻说道。基尔伏特表情变得有些僵硬,但还是忍不住问。 "What's up?" “你我合作,把蝴蝶结党以及黑绸带党一起扫平。怎么样?有没有兴趣?” 通信机的另一边,基尔伏特面露沉思。AAA继续交涉道。 “无论是哪边取得政权,对于布伊诺斯·松迪的市民来说都是个祸害。并且不止是我们爱克尔罗尼亚,无论是哪一个都市将布伊诺斯·松迪收于支配之下,都会打破势力的均衡。届时局势会比现在更险恶。你不这样认为吗?” “我想考虑这些并不是军人的任务。” “就算军队是政治的道具,但也不应当是政治家的道具。” “用应当、理应之类的词来推测现实,是无法进行正确分析的。” 虽然凯涅滋·基尔伏特准嘴上说的是警句式话语,但他并未不由分说地一昧拒绝。无论基尔伏特还是AAA,只是单纯作为战争技术者来说,未免过于远见卓识。比政治家更有远见的军人,多数情况下,与幸福天使是无法和睦相处的。 AAA并非特别想与天使和睦相处。但此时他那毫无具体构想的主意确实要比政治家的策略更好。基尔伏特沉思默想后,开口道。 “阁下似乎很有信心,事情果真会在你意料中发展吗?” "I am human." “这样相信是阁下的自由。” “……换句话说。既然是人类,就不可能毫无错误。如果进行一百次作战,那么我觉其中有一、两个,三、四个错误是理所当然的事。不过,这次应该能顺利进行。只要你能帮我一把。” “有五、六个错误确实很正常。” 冰冷且干燥,凯涅滋·基尔伏特准的声带等同于冬季夜晚的沙漠。但与之相应的潮湿恶意却无缘。大概是他无意识的动作吧,只见他伸出手指轻抚了一下脸上的伤疤。虽然AAA很想打听一下那条伤疤的由来。但即便问了大概也不可能会有回答。总之,当务之急是另一件事。 “如何,一起干吗?” AAA提出的是阴谋,但态度却并不阴湿。给人的感觉就好像是某个恶作剧的少年在劝诱伙伴加入似的。基尔伏特吸了口气,又送了口气…… 另一方面,普林斯·哈拉鲁特军谨慎地监视着对峙中的新·卡米洛特与爱克尔罗尼亚。还没有到轮到自己行动的时机,所以一发子弹都未发射。 “两军都不想正面交战。” 修泰米兹向库路冈解说状况。 “名将们的战斗,似乎都会变成这个样呢。一想到会被对手看破计划,就不敢轻率行动。基尔伏特将军和阿斯巴鲁将军都是深不可测之人啊。” 修泰米兹说出好像解说员般的台词。库路冈心想那你自己又怎么样呢?修泰米兹一脸无辜的表情。他再次开口,这次说的是极为日常的话题。 “打完这场仗回去后,再来我家玩吧。库莱蒙特……” 三个孩子的父亲说出其中一个孩子的名字。 “他很喜欢你啊。还为小马布偶起了个你的名字,无论是白天还是晚上都要抱在一起。” “为了将来考虑,还是矫正他的兴趣比较好。” 也许库路冈相信接触一家团圆之类的事情,会让精神骨骼为之崩溃。上个月回应邀请,拜访修泰米兹的家,对库路冈来说是足以令他悔恨的大意之失。库路冈并非刻意认为,天才就该时常孤高。而是他的为人强行陷他于孤立之中。 修泰米兹对库路冈的回答笑了笑。这位三个孩子的父亲是作为活药剂中和库路冈之毒的重要存在。 七月中旬,在无间断的小战斗中渡过。换言之就是战况毫无进展。就连基尔伏特和AAA这种卓绝的战争技术者,似乎也对冥顽不灵的敌人束手无策。实际上,两人确实有些束手无策。不过,主要原因恐怕在于两人的厌战情绪。 打破这种僵局,是在莫布里奇·玖尼亚看了军用地图,手指其中一点之后。 那是被称为阿斯普罗的巨大山间水坝,最大贮水量可达二十亿吨。莫布里奇·玖尼亚想出来的点子是破坏这座水坝,制造一场人工洪水把侵略军一举击溃。他不知从哪里听说,爱克尔罗尼亚军准备在水坝下流区域中构筑长期阵地。 想出这个点子的莫布里奇·玖尼亚被自己想出来的奇谋给感动了,决定立即投入实行。这份报告又不知通过什么途径传入了正在构筑阵地的AAA耳中。 最初,AAA对个情报不屑一顾。谁都明白阿斯普罗水坝对于布伊诺斯·松迪市来说是不可欠缺的水资源供应地。破坏水坝的话,只会祸及自己的将来。 然而,对现在绝望之人是不会将来有什么展望的。更何况如果莫布里奇·玖尼亚是计划的主谋,对于会伤害布伊诺斯·松迪市的行径大概连眉头也不会皱一下吧。注意到这点后,AAA在下达了夺取阿斯普罗水坝的指示同时,决定将阵地迁移至高处。——这些就是表面的情形。 不仅仅是自己的阵地。AAA还与新·卡米洛特军司令部取得了联系,将水坝决堤的可能性通知了对方。这件事要是被母都市知道,恐怕会以通敌为由审判他吧。但AAA却坦然公开地这样做了。即使秘密进行,也一定会被曝光,与其招来无用的怀疑,还不如堂堂正正地干才是他的本色。AAA有信心日后为自己的行为进行光明正大的辩解。目前获得凯涅滋·基尔伏特准的信任才是他最重要的事。 凯涅滋·基尔伏特准并不信任AAA,但却相信AAA的通知。因为他也对阿斯普罗水坝的存在感到危险。地理位置感薄弱的人,成为不了优秀的指挥官。 “爆破水坝,把联合军没入浊流的深渊中。新·卡米洛特军也好爱克尔罗尼亚军也罢,让他们好好长长教训吧。” 莫布里奇·玖尼亚干劲十足地实行了计划。那天是七月十七日,深夜他率领八十名工兵,在水坝内外六十处地方安装了四种类型的强力炸药。远远遥望下游暗幕中,敌军阵地灯火阑珊。 “以这个作战一鼓作气终结这场战争。勒拿河以来,隔了千日之久,你们好好品尝一下我这水攻的报仇吧。” 日历上的数字转瞬又逝。七月十八日零点四十五分,一阵沉闷的音响将布伊诺斯·松迪的市民从沉睡中唤醒。好似刀剜全身内臟般的不祥之声渐渐转为低沉,刹那间却又变成有如动摇全体神经中枢般的轰鸣。与第一波的声响不同,音音逐渐变大变高,宛如大地悲鸣般轰隆。 超过二十亿吨的氢元素与氧元素的化合物,跃过爆破的混凝土防壁,向下流奔腾而去。如果不是凌晨的黑暗,也许能看见数万水龙从天而降的情景。水声轰鸣能让人联想到水龙的咆哮。 浊流吞没低地,吞没岩石,吞没树木,吞没无数武装士兵,猛烈地漩涡奔向大海。莫布里奇·玖尼亚如此深信不疑。 “敌袭!敌人打过来了!” 在把握这叫喊声意义之时,莫布里奇·玖尼亚愣住了,茫然不知所措。可恨的爱克尔罗尼亚,可厌的新·卡米洛特两军,不是被二十亿吨水流湮灭,从贝鲁海峡冲往大海了吗? but it is not the truth.军营阵地完好无损地移动至高处,避过水灾的两军立即展开了行动。或是以水陆两用装甲车,或是徒步在泥土中注入固定剂,他们就这样横穿过流尽水源的水坝湖底。出现在离布伊诺斯·松迪市街十四公里的地点。水坝爆破之后两个小时内,他们便将黑绸带军以及蝴蝶结军与母都市之间的联系完全阻断。 阿斯普罗水坝的破坏决定了布伊诺斯·松迪攻防战的胜败走向,那是与主谋之人的初衷完全背道而驰的方向。 七月十九日十点十五分。将布伊诺斯·松迪市街层层包围的三都市军最高干部会聚一堂。地点被定为圣拉斐尔山岳,是处能够远眺布伊诺斯·松迪市街,杂草灌木丛生的高地。与会者是三都市军的四名中将以及他们的副官等,总共不到二十人。在这处高地集会,也就意味着布伊诺斯·松迪军已丧失了炮击能力。 将军们在临时设置的桌子上开始玩起扑克。虽然看上去好像只是打发时间的单纯游戏,其实他们此时正在进行极其重要的会谈。 提案者是爱克尔罗尼亚军的指挥官阿路马利克·阿斯巴鲁中将。他将莫布里奇·玖尼亚耍弄得团团转。让爆破阿斯普罗水坝的主意以流言方式传入玖尼亚耳中,并促使其付诸实施的幕后黑手正是AAA。这是对地图有异常敏锐感的AAA才能想到的作战。日后得知此事的莫布里奇·玖尼亚破口大骂说“我从没见过那样肮脏的家伙”。当然了,如果害怕被人非议,那他就不是AAA了。 而库路冈之所以坐在这里,并不是因为在打算击溃新·卡米洛特军和爱克尔罗尼亚军时感到良心的谴责之类。问题在于这件事是否有达成的可能。把两军以及两军的指挥官同时作为对抗能否取胜?库路冈虽然对于AAA和凯涅滋·基尔伏特准并没有抱什么敬意,但也从未小看过他们两人的作战指挥能力。 虽然数年前,琼汰·诺儒特将军独自对抗六都市联合军并最后获胜,但条件和这次相差悬殊。也许接受AAA的提案比较现实。三都市军队缔结协约,避开无益的战斗,分割占领布伊诺斯·松迪。这就是阿斯巴鲁的提案。卡莱尔·修泰米兹底气不足地看着副司令。 “你怎么看?库路冈中将。” “负责定夺的是你,不是我。” 虽然本意是突现修泰米兹的重要性,但听上去却好像是在冷然冲撞,这是库路冈刺猬性格的使然。修泰米兹已经习以为常了。平淡地颔首后,对AAA说道“可以”。凯涅滋·基尔伏特准也无言地点头首肯。这个瞬间,后世所谓的“圣拉斐尔秘密协约”成立了。 此时正好是牌局最后阶段,库路冈对上基尔伏特,最后落败。基尔伏特手上是三老K,库路冈是双对子。看了一眼他手头上的底牌后,AAA嘴角露出一丝讽刺。 “这可是被称为死者之手的牌。” 十九世纪后半,北美大陆边境地带有个被称为怀特·比尔·希科克的男人。本名叫詹姆士·巴特勒·希科克的这个男人是所有西部片中的英雄,在执法者与无法者两个极端中往来的枪手。一八七六年八月,在酒场打牌时,他被从后方射来的子弹击穿脑袋。享年三十九岁。 那时怀特·比尔手中的便是梅花A和梅花8,黑桃A和黑桃8组成的全黑对子。那以后,迷信的赌徒们便将这种牌视为为不祥之物。 如果由利·库路冈的为人稍微可爱一点,大概就会情不自禁地现出不快和寒噤的表情了吧。可库路冈只是一脸木雕泥塑地把牌丢弃。至少对于他来说,那并非什么“死者之手”。 收拢了所有人的牌,AAA低声笑道。 “那就这样干吧。没有人命令我们要控制布伊诺斯·松迪市全部区域。也没有人会违背政府的命令,更没有战死者出现。真是可喜可贺。” 对三个都市来说,确实是可喜可贺。当然了,对于布伊诺斯·松迪来说可就要丢大脸了。不过在他们中间,没有如此在意小节的沽名钓誉之人。 七月二十日,三都市军终于准备开始从三个方向挺进布伊诺斯·松迪市街。五点零八分,这天的太阳将最后一丝光芒投落地表。 这是历史性的刹那,他市的军队进入一个拥有独立主权都市的内部。虽然有组织的抵抗脆弱到可以不记,几乎没有损伤地进入了都市。但在新·卡米洛特军的前方,却出现了包含老人女人孩子在内的五千名市民队伍,阻挡军队前进。 这是蝴蝶结党的计策,将非武装的市民推到新·卡米洛特军的前方,阻止他们的进军。 看着开武装市民组成的人群逐渐接近,基尔伏特中将下令部队变更前进路线。队伍向右急转,走向其他的街道。就在这时,街道两道的某间民家的窗口处,跳出一个十岁左右的男孩。虽然服装粗陋,但却两眼炯炯有神。坦克炮塔上露出上半身的士官正想挥手致意时,却冷不防飞来一块石子,响亮地砸在他的头盔上。 “滚出去,从我们的城市里滚出去!侵略者,快滚!” 被石子砸到的士官脑袋一热,就往腰上的军用手枪上摸去。前方坦克上的司令基尔伏特中将及时出声道。 “似乎觉得并未败给你呢。他是布伊诺斯·松迪最优秀的勇者。最好还是别做出无用的举动。” 士官一脸不满地收回了手枪,坦克和装甲车的队列从孩子面前通过。 进攻布伊诺斯·松迪的三都市首脑,虽然在性格方面被指责有各种缺点,但只有在一点上,有着贤明的共通之处。他们深知加害非武装市民,只会让威名瞬间堕落为污名。如果布伊诺斯·松迪的统治体制深受市民的支持,市民们为了故土自发地举枪反抗的话,恐怕三都市的首脑们就不得不弄脏自己的双手了吧。这种意义上,基尔伏特,阿斯巴鲁,修泰米兹,库路冈实在很幸运。“不存在纯军事性屈服于他市侵略的都市”这个历史教训再一次得到证明。布伊诺斯·松迪是被自我的软弱所瓦解的。 很遗憾,入侵布伊诺斯·松迪的三都市军并不是神的军队,所以不得不遵守地上的世理来行动。 三市的部队相互竞争,占领布伊诺斯·松迪市街的重要区域。
