It was not as easy as fighting on the plains, besides, it was not that urgent either. Abel and Li Tang were overthrown and Fujimori was surrounded. These two messages came out almost simultaneously, Vale and Stenger were dumbfounded.
Things were good yesterday. The first thing in the morning was that he just found out that his own family was dying.
"Do you have any good ideas? What's the best plan-!" In his house, Stenger shouted angrily.
All the advisers and generals around were silent. It was not that they didn't want to talk about it as there was no good strategy. Even if it was Hudnall, he also felt that it was very difficult to defeat them.
The 10,000 troops were led by Fleming, they were stationed in the north of the Mighty Canal. They were also monitoring the movements of the surrounding area at the same time. After solving Abel and Li Tang, Cross and Ewart's army rushed over and spearheaded the launch of a campaign attack.
This time, Vale was defensive and led all fighters and strategists into battle but in the first battle, it was still a quick defeat. Vale's army quickly retreated to a City, trying to rely on this strong city to resist the attack of the Astra Militarum.
Surprisingly, at this time, the Astra Militarum did not continue to attack. Elizabeth sent a messenger over to come to the City to Vale. Of course, this was the case when Vale opened the city and surrendered. Vale was originally a part of the royal family, this condition could be said to be justified.
"Accept it, my Lord."
"Brother, the situation is not as good as others. You are also a relative of the royal family. It is not bad to be the ruler of an area."
Inside the lobby, all strategists and generals implored Vale to accept this deal. All of them could see that even if they had given another ten years to develop, they could never catch up with the Astra Militarum, whether it was in the aspect of weapons or tactics, etc, they were way too ahead of them.
Vale thought about it for some time and chose to accept this title. As for the remaining tens of thousands of troops, all of them surrendered, so far, the southwest was finished.
Among the five main forces in the world, there was only Wingston left, relying on the natural danger of the Mighty Canal. Stenger set up a line of defense on the Canal.
"The Astra Militarum is weaker in terms of water warfare." Looking at the danger of the Mighty Canal, Fleming sighed.
It was not just about water wars, there were also boats. It was also something that the Astra Militarum lacked but they were not in a hurry either. Stenger was considered to be one of the weakest of the major powers, in addition, the Astra Militarum still had another move.
"Ships and water battles can be built slowly, but in the face of fortified cities, our means are still lacking." The advisor next to him said.
Fleming nodded. In the siege of previous Cities, there were no major attacks but there was still some fighting.
"If we can directly bypass the city walls and let the Astra Militarum fly into the air, then we can strike again," Gaspard said.
"Strike from the air?" Fleming and Marx were both slightly stunned. They just imagined the possibility.
"Do you think the research team, given its capabilities, is capable of realizing this possibility?" Fleming couldn't help but ask a few scientists who were with the army behind him.
"The only thing that can fly in the air at the moment is a hot air balloon." One scientist replied.
This hot air balloon thing was developed back in the era of Kai. It had long been discovered that it could carry people to the sky but until now, it was not used much. Mostly, it had too many drawbacks and it was not practical enough. Far away from the air strikes that Fleming was talking about, it was not even close.
"The rest is just a concept." This scientist shook his head.
Among many scientists, someone had suggested a similar idea. However, with the current level of technology of the Astra Militarum, it was still far from enough.
"Didn't you say that a research group is already working on a steam car that doesn't use horses?" Gaspard asked curiously.
"Even if it is developed, it is still far from being able to go to the sky." This scientist said with a smile.
The crowd did not explore this issue any further.
While the Astra Militarum was conquering around, inside the Royal Tombs Mountains, the Astra Militarum Institute of Technology had now become the place with the most scientists in the entire Imperium. A research group developed an era-changing invention.
