"HER stopped attacking and is now defending the defense they just built."
"Do you have the data on enemy and enemy casualties?"
"We currently confirm that 8,432 soldiers have died, 12,097 have been injured, and 450 are missing. The enemy's casualties should be around 18,000!"
"On our side, 32 humanoid weapons were scrapped or damaged in battle, and the enemy's losses were about 30 to 40."
"Alas! The enemy's combat strength advantage is still obvious!"
General Wu Xun sighed, HER's military strength in this battle was at least twice his own. Although he successfully blocked HER's attack, his own losses were still relatively large. If HER attacks again, the chance of being unable to stop it is very high.
"General, according to the intelligence of the Long brothers, the enemy may still have a group of high-mobility 'wing cavalry' that are not moving."
Wu Xun said: "They haven't given up directly attacking the mountain. How many Tigers can be transferred to the mountain?"
"General, there's not even one left."
Wu Xun shook his head and said helplessly: "I'll ask Secretary Zheng Zichan for instructions. At this point, we can only ask for support from the envoys of the major forces."
…
The envoys from all major forces readily agreed to the Chang'an Cooperation Organization's request for support. After all, the purpose of this meeting is to reach a military alliance. If you don't contribute, you will be looked down upon by other forces. Secondly, if HER's offensive succeeds, you will not be able to go back.
The Osiris was also preparing to attack. Lin Ao hurriedly changed into his driving suit and rushed to the hangar, only to find that the No. 2 machine had been pulled out of the Osiris.
"What is this for!?"
Lin Ao ran over to question the person who pulled out Unit 2. Lieutenant Anton suddenly appeared behind him and said: "Lin Ao, you don't have to participate in the battle this time. You and your unit have to stay to protect Elizabeth."
"but…"
"Lin Ao!"
Anton pressed his shoulders hard and said: "There are many people in the major forces who want to control Elizabeth. If something really happens, it will not be possible to rely on the few bodyguards that Elizabeth temporarily recruits."
"I see."
Anton nodded and ran back to the Osiris.
…
In the combat intelligence room at the Wuhou level, Zhuge Daozi and seven or eight staff officers gathered around the projected map in the center of the room. Daozi asked one of the staff officers: "You just said that you discovered the movement of reinforcements from the Chang'an Cooperation Organization. Do you know how long it will take for them to arrive on the battlefield?"
"The first wave will come in 4 to 5 hours, with three warships, and the second wave will come back in an hour, also with three warships."
Daozi nodded, tapping his palms with a folding fan, and looked at the AR map carefully. Now our army is less than 5 kilometers away from the foot of Shishapangma Peak. The Chang'an Cooperation Organization has set up a solid defense line in the front. If we rely only on the army to fight a war of attrition, we may have to wait for the enemy's reinforcements.
Daozi also has an ace in his hand, which is 20 "Wing Cavalry". This high-performance aircraft that can fly in the atmosphere has always been a rarity for HER troops everywhere. He can now collect 20 units at once, which is the number of all previous HER officers. None of them did it. The problem is that even so, the air defense force of Shishapangma cannot be underestimated. The Chang'an Cooperation Organization relies on the mountain to deploy defenses, and all previous air strikes have failed. These 20 "Wing Cavalry" must not be wasted, and complete preparations must be made.
Zhuge Daozi was thinking about every next step. The staff members were already debating on how to arrange the 20 winged cavalry. Some people advocated a surprise attack, while others advocated holding back for now.
Zhuge Daozi raised his hand to signal them to be quiet. In fact, he already had a countermeasure in mind, but he was still hesitant to do so.
…
The only two warships left by the Chang'an Cooperation Organization and the seven warships sent by delegations from major forces were deployed in front of Shishapangma Peak in a flying formation. They all sent some troops to the ground to support the Chang'an Cooperation Organization's army defense line. . This will be the second coordinated operation of the major forces in the Earth Circle after the Battle of Carthage. The overall command is temporarily held by General Wu Xun of the Chang'an Cooperation Organization.
This temporary alliance has different styles of battleships:
The upper body shaped like a cobra is the "Snake-class" battleship of the New Republic of Gran Colombia;
The sky battleship, which is no different from an aircraft carrier, is the "Successor-class" of the new EU;
The color is as white as marble. It spares no effort to install classical-style decorations on the armor, giving the entire battleship a classical architectural beauty. It is the battleship "Grand Duke" of the New Principality of Muscovy;
The dark blue warship with a cone-shaped head and an arrow-feather-shaped rear half is the "Donghai-class" submarine of the Chang'an Cooperation Organization;
The head and main body are like white gold bricks, and the black bridge at the tail end is like a cocked sword hilt. The telescopic landing gear at the bottom is used to launch the aircraft body, which is the Tycoon class of the North American Rescue Alliance;
The khaki warship, modeled after an old-era guided-missile destroyer, is the African Brotherhood’s “Leopard-class”;
The one with the main color white that resembles a sword is the "Sword Class" of the Covenant;
The last battleship is the Osiris, which is silver and looks like the head of a spear;
These battleships of different styles carry soldiers in different costumes, and they are all waiting for HER's action.
HER still had the advantage in terms of numbers. Their 15 warships were lined up at the rear of the battlefield. After seeing the alliance dispatching more warships, they began to slowly move towards the front. At the same time, HER's army troops were regrouping and deploying at an extremely fast speed. Everyone knew the battle was about to begin.
An hour later, the fighting started again.
…
"HER is still attacking outside. Should we continue to hold meetings here? Shouldn't we arrange for the evacuation of missions from various forces?"
"No, this is showing weakness to HER. If you escape, this meeting will be in vain. Besides, the Chang'an Cooperation Organization guarantees a secret passage for safe evacuation."
"Damn it... They dare to attack HER's princess here."
Outside the conference hall, members of the delegations from various countries were chattering to analyze the situation and express their uneasiness. Although this fortress is built on a solid mountain, people can still feel vibrations and hear faint explosions. It is understandable to feel uneasy in this environment.
Lin Ao passed quickly through the crowd. Some people remembered that he had appeared next to Elizabeth and cast various looks at him, some curious, some wary, and so on. Lin Ao couldn't care less about how these people looked at him. He had to rush to Elizabeth's lounge. It was only an hour before the next meeting was held.
When he ran into Elizabeth's room, he saw a scene that made his hair stand on end.
A HER spy who had been surrendered by Elizabeth was pointing a pistol at the other six spies, forcing them to stand against the wall with their hands raised. The spy seemed to have just said something to Elizabeth. When Lin Ao opened the door and came in, he heard Elizabeth's stern refusal.
"What's going on?! What are you doing!"
Lin Ao loudly questioned the spy who raised the gun. Although the spy did not point the gun at Elizabeth, the situation was still very dangerous. The spy was stunned by Lin Ao's sudden intrusion. He was about to turn the gun towards Elizabeth so that Lin Ao could raise his hands, but he was worried about the "compatriots" behind him.
His eyes looked at Lin Ao, and his hesitation gave the spies who were forced to raise their hands a chance. They swarmed up at extremely fast speeds and subdued the gunman in an instant. One of the spies apologized: "Sorry princess! We didn't know he actually..."
Elizabeth waved her hand with a straight face and said, "That's enough! Call the guards from the Chang'an Cooperation Organization to come and take him away!"
"What happened?" Lin Ao asked worriedly. He still didn't understand what happened.
Elizabeth sighed.
"This person is a lobbyist sent by my brother. He has been lurking for so long just to convince me to change the content of my speech to be more radical so as to incite the division of the empire. Of course I refused and asked others to arrest him. The man took out his gun."
"...That's crazy. By the way, is there one person missing?"
There were 8 spies that Elizabeth recruited to surrender, but there were only 7 of them in front of her.
"He went to the toilet, eh, he's been there for an hour!"
As soon as Elizabeth finished speaking, she heard an explosion, which shocked her and threw her into Lin Ao's arms.
A spy asked: "Did the mountain outside get bombed?"
Lin Ao shook his head: "No! This sound and vibration is an explosion inside the fortress!"
