The forces mobilized by the coup faction within the capital were not only from the Soviev Empire’s General Intelligence Directorate.

—

The Eastern Corps.

One of the main pillars of the coup, the Central Corps, is closely linked to the de facto ruler of the state, the co-ruler, but does not possess many armed forces on its own.

—

However, the Eastern Corps is different.

Due to its geographical proximity to the Soviev Empire and the Rhinehardt Empire.

It has quite a few troops and relatively well-equipped forces, no less than those in the north and south.

—

Until the Quernen War and before Count Orlando Rus III deliberately set himself against the Soviev Empire,

The Eastern Corps was regarded as an elite force even compared to the Northern Corps.

—

As a result, to completely occupy the capital, the forces of this Eastern Corps are essential.

—

However, they were blocked much faster than expected by the Special Response Brigade and the Northern Corps.

—

“Joseph Lebandovsky… That d*mn fox pup…”

The teeth of the corps chief ground together. He was spreading flyers and broadcasting, stirring up confusion among the corps’ forces.

—

Even now.

“Greetings, dear comrades. I am Joseph Lebandovsky, former Chief of Staff of the 8th Aerial Infantry Battalion during the Second Quernen War and an operational staff officer at the landing command.”

—

“At present, a rebellion led by General Olek Stukov of the Eastern Corps and bureaucrats of the Central Corps has broken out in the capital.”

—

“However, the rebellion has not succeeded, and the situation has stabilized. The citizens of the capital city of Kayef continue to protest against the coup forces.”

—

“You who have guarded the eastern border for your country with sweat and passion should not fall for their tricks.”

—

“Do what you believe is right! Rebel openly! You are soldiers loyal to your country, not those who divide the nation for their own selfish interests!”

—

With such rhetoric, the morale of the already demoralized soldiers was plummeting to the point of breaking.

—

Even some division commanders and corps commanders who had not been previously recruited took a neutral stance and refused to advance on the capital.

—

The chief of staff stared at the pistol on the desk.

—

The tide of battle had already turned.

Contacts from the capital of Kayef had completely ceased since yesterday, and the number of people rebelling increased day by day.

—

And yet, the Special Response Brigade blocked the gateway to the capital.

—

Even if they participated in the coup, the chief of staff, who maintained tactical vision, saw that it was already a lost game.

—

If they were truly desperate, they would have blocked all our routes.

—

Then they would be busy sending reinforcements into the capital.

—

Their fact of being entrenched in the east and checking the corps already indicates how much leeway the anti-coup forces have.

—

“d*mn it! d*mn it all!”

The chief of staff smashed the table violently. The tactical map on the table scattered, turning everything into chaos.

—

Since his future was nothing but d*ath anyway.

—

He wanted to meet d*ath at least with his own hands rather than hanging.

—

Finally, he reached for the pistol still lying on the table.

—

“Chief of Staff!”

An officer rushed into the tent urgently.

—

“The corps’ direct air force has arrived! They are attacking the Special Response Brigade units deployed in the Lekask area!”

—

“They’ve finally come!”

The chief of staff hastily withdrew his hand from the pistol and stood up.

—

After the Special Response Brigade achieved terrifying results in the Second Quernen War,

—

Except for the Western Corps, which had relatively less importance on the front line, the corps’ direct air forces were established in the North, East, and South.

—

Identical to the Diabolus airship Joseph Lebandovsky was on.

—

In fact, it was a newer model that had recently been commissioned, equipped with more powerful armaments than the enemy’s airships.

—

This was like a savior appearing to break the stalemate.

—

“Deploy two infantry divisions to this sector! No, push in all available forces to Lekask immediately!”

—

“I will issue the order right away!”

A young officer saluted and ran off at full speed.
