Chapter 208 Siege of Sarajevo

"Your Highness! The enemy's Second Army Group, Third Holy Army, and Bonia National Army have surrounded Sarajevo from three directions!"

Sivits Valerie had just come down from the front lines. Just now, the counterattack in Pocheniagrad, south of Sarajevo, had ended. She had used a brigade to hold off two modernized divisions for nearly 20 hours.

In that city, the Imperial Guard 35th Morando Brigade, which was stationed there, was equipped with the Empire’s latest Vorndel rifle, a breech-loading single-shot rifle manufactured by the Zastava Armory and incorporating a great deal of advanced technology from Amelansi.

"I know."

Sivits Valerie took the wine glass from the maid and drank it all in one gulp. The refreshing lemon scent lingered in her mouth, sweeping away her fatigue.

She knew it was worth it to exchange a brigade for twenty hours, but she was not resigned to it. This only delayed the defeat and did not reverse the situation.

"Do you have any news about that president?"

"Grand Duke Zastava said she is on her way."

"Is it?"

She leaned back in her opulent chair, the royal wealth being converted into mobilization funds. She opened the national treasury and conscripted at least two divisions, but everyone knew this was unreliable, and the rebels had more troops, more weapons, and more foreign funds.

Sarajevo is surrounded by mountains. Only by holding these hillsides can the city be protected. There is no other way. When the Grand Duchy of Zastava's weapons and ammunition are cut off, Sarajevo will be finished.

She tried not to think too much, and looked up at the sky. It seemed that even the heavens were favoring her, as the sun was obscured by clouds, and the entire city of Sarajevo was shrouded in dark clouds.

The remaining officers were debating where to set up the main defensive positions. The imperial army's remaining artillery, field guns, and rotary machine guns were insufficient to defend the entire city of Sarajevo.

She could only let out a long sigh. In reality, all she had done was delay the demise of the country. She walked to the window. On the street in front of the palace, people were rushing about with their families, each trying their best to escape the city so that their wives and children could survive in this chaotic world.

Boom! ! ! !

The explosion suddenly broke Sarajevo's silence. She was startled and suddenly saw smoke and dust rising in the southwest. Then, gunshots and artillery fire rang out.

"It seems the generals no longer need to argue about where to set up positions."

Sivits Valerie suddenly let out a long breath. There is always a short gap before a war, and this gap is the most terrible. It gives soldiers and generals time to remember that they are still human beings, and thus they begin to fear.

But once a conflict breaks out, all that's left in people's minds is fighting.

"Your Highness... Lady Alice... has arrived."

A shout interrupted her thoughts, and the gunfire stopped just in time. She looked at the waiter, then at the spot where the explosion had just occurred.

"where is she?"

"Your Highness, it's...it's in heaven..."

"Heaven?"

Sivits Valerie was about to retort to the waiter when she suddenly saw a huge object appear beneath the clouds.

There are many rumors about the Amerlancy airships, which are usually regarded as myths and stories to talk about. These huge warships appeared during the Amerlancy unification war, but then seemed to disappear without a trace.

Now, she actually saw such a warship, such a huge warship, hovering above her head.

The roaring magic mainframe sounded like an entire magician's array casting fireballs, or like a giant beast roaring.

The aircraft carrier HMS Vigilant arrived in Sarajevo, and her presence was immediately spotted by the rebels surrounding the city. Almost at the same time as her arrival, the rebel commander ordered a halt to the siege.

There was no other reason than that Amelansi's diplomatic letter and related informants had arrived. The nobles of the Church faction originally wanted to ignore these demons, but the Church behind them made them stop.

The new recruits are hot-blooded, but as frontline fighters against the demons, how could they not know the demons' recent tempers? Alice is visiting the Balkan Empire; dare you touch her?

Last time we confronted the church, their entire fleet was still submerged in Caro Bay.

Therefore, the church informant immediately ordered the church-affiliated nobles to halt their attack and assess the situation first.

How can you fight a warship that's floating in the air?

The news that the various rebel factions had decisively ceased fighting outside the city was immediately known to Sivits Valerie. Looking at the cliffs surrounding Sarajevo, she sighed, "Truth lies only within the range of cannons..."

"Tell the imperial chef to prepare the banquet ingredients."

Despite the country's disintegration, the food stored in the palace was still enough to host a banquet.

Sivits Valerie took a bath, changed into clean clothes.

Meanwhile, Alice was on the deck of the HMS Vigilant, where a squadron of F3F Wildcats were preparing to launch.

On this aircraft carrier that uses full magic-electric propulsion, its catapult technology naturally adopts electromagnetic catapult. Thanks to the development of the magic technology tree, the development of electromagnetic catapult technology in Amelansi is not difficult. However, although the principle is electro-magnetic conversion, the electromagnetic catapult technology in Amelansi, which uses a large number of magic components, should actually be called magic-guided electromagnetic catapult.

After all, the magnetic rail that generates thrust is powered by a magic circuit, and its thrust is not adjustable, but rather a third-order thrust.

In Alice's eyes, this was already a fairly modern aircraft carrier. In fact, the "Vigilant" was still an experimental ship, and its technical and tactical level was quite unstable.

However, she's bringing it out now because she's betting that no one will dare touch her aircraft carrier.

After all, F3F pilots also carried bombs when they went into battle.

"Miss President, the Sulphur requests a landing."

"The Sulfur remains stationary. We brought a brigade of paratroopers with us as a precaution. For now, let's just leave it there as a harmless air battleship."

Alice waved her hand, saying that the USS Iridium, as an amphibious assault ship, has a certain degree of self-sufficiency. Even with a brigade of mechanized paratroopers, it can still guarantee seven days of personnel resupply.

Therefore, it seems that an air transport ship is still needed as a supply vessel.

Raffarin Lo leaned against the railing, with hundreds of meters above her, the massive sky warship descending, its enormous size exuding an oppressive aura.

The fighter jets launched from them are even more domineering. Although there is an air traffic control department on the watchtower, to the layman, these giant metal birds could attack them at any time.

Alice waited contentedly for the transport plane to arrive, while countless eyes watched the sky warship around Sarajevo.

When Sarajevo fell, and when this war began, was no longer up to the rebels or the Imperial Army. The key to the war lay entirely in the tricolor flag represented by this sky battleship.
