After the airdrop was over, the Rhode Island transportation team in the sky began to evacuate in batches. This was also an agreement reached with the Guards. Rhode Island would not carry out any actions other than the agreement, but for Victoria, who had sufficient equipment and supplies, It is enough for the guards, they have only one purpose, and they cannot afford to fail.
With faith in Victoria, the muzzles of the soldiers of the Guards spewed out dazzling flames. Even though the defenders of the Congress began to transfer light artillery one after another, the attack resistance of each company increased greatly, and the full armor was blackened by the flames. Torn by shrapnel and cut by stray bullets, the Guards still maintained a neat line of defense and advanced towards the Congress.
"Frag grenades open the way, quick!"
When the shield wall of the heavily armored soldiers finally reached the middle of the steps, the regimental commander personally issued an order. Those heavily armored soldiers who suffered heavy losses during the advance quickly pulled the fuses of the grenades on their waists and threw them at the defenders of the Congress with all their strength. Small bunkers and light artillery groups.
boom--!
Dozens of deafening explosions rolled up huge smoke and dust, directly blasting off a colonnade that was embraced by two people. Even if the defenders of the Congress had such a tenacious fighting will, their morale was shaken in this terrifying blast.
"For Victoria! The whole army attacks!"
With the burning city as the background, the head of the 1st Guards Regiment stepped on a fallen boulder and issued a general attack order to all the surrounding companies.
The whole process lasted for several hours, and 2000 well-trained and determined guards suffered heavy losses in this seemingly superior, but actually outnumbered battle. Even though many troops had been transferred, the capital of the northern rebels still There are more than 5000 elite troops stationed, most of them are the main force that blocked the northern offensive during the war. Therefore, when the opponent reacted quickly, the offensive of the Guards slowed down quickly.
However, under the personal leadership of the head of the regiment, the unassembled 1300 Victoria Guards walked through the flames and ruins, and attacked the Congress against the increasingly violent stray bullets and fire streams on the opposite side.
Among these guards, there are many low-ranking noble officers or outstanding officers with unlimited prospects. Perhaps their original intention of joining the Guards was just to add a resume to their own future, but now, they have participated in this great raid without hesitation .
The elegance and laziness that pervaded the Victorian national character in the past few decades have gradually transformed into a strong national consciousness in the recent years of rebellion. Countless people of insight foresaw that this civil war will bring a dark future to Victoria , fell on the way to charge.
Perhaps Robert once noticed that the guards did not participate in the abnormality of the Lentinium defensive battle, and even dispatched troops from the front line to return to the rear just to be on the safe side. Robert could not be distracted, effectively delaying his rhythm and creating time for the Guards' surprise attack.
When the guards broke through the outer defense line of the Congress, the two sides began to use melee weapons to fight in addition to the firepower confrontation;
Under the tenacious fighting spirit of the Guards, the defenders of the Congress, who fought fiercely for six hours in the middle of the night, finally began to be defeated. With the fall of the West Gate as a signal, the three gates of the Congress were gradually breached.
Seeing that there was no hope of resistance, the exhausted defenders of the Congress finally dropped their weapons and raised their hands to surrender. The guards, except for a small number of troops to collect equipment and take care of the prisoners, poured into the Congress Garden and residential areas like a raging tide. Arrest the panicked northern rebel core.
The capital of the rebels burned overnight, and the Capitol was reduced to the worst battlefield. Huge columns of pitch-black smoke shot straight into the sky. one night.
The head of the 1st Guards Regiment looked at the Guards soldiers pouring into the Congress around him, and he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief exhausted.
He took off his helmet, revealing his bloody and sweaty face, his resolute eyes full of tiredness.
When he looked towards the horizon, the first rays of dawn had already appeared.

Chapter 113 Benefits Photos
Repercussions of the fall of the northern rebel capital spread across Victoria.
For the Victoria defenders in the defense of Londinium, this will greatly affect the enemy's logistics and dispatch, weaken their offensive, and give their own side a valuable breathing opportunity.
For Robert, the guards who are recruiting the surrendered rebels are an extremely dangerous nail nailed to the rear. When a large number of civil servants are arrested, most of the supply lines of the Southern Expeditionary Corps are cut off. Materials, the defenders of Londinium will definitely not give him a chance to adjust.
And for the queen, she knew she was right.
In the study room of the palace, the Queen was physically and mentally exhausted from the high-load operation for three consecutive days. At this time, she was lying on the desk, with her shameless golden hair dangling in her hair.
"It's so cold today, isn't it snowing yet?"
The queen looked out the window, there was no snow, only a gloomy sky.
"It's always cold when the snow melts, please keep warm, Your Majesty."
The old consultant on the side tidied up the documents and looked at the queen with concern.
"But at least the snow has melted, hasn't it?" The Queen looked out of the window, her tone gradually lowered, "I hope some people will die less——I owe them too much."
"This is the choice of the Guards. They are fighting for Victoria." The old adviser could see what the Queen was thinking at this time. After all, she was the one who launched this significant expedition and sent 2000 Guards into the most dangerous battlefield. Even if this is the only way to change the situation of the battle, "And they succeeded, Robert is gathering troops to return to the defense, the resistance of the counties is very effective, and reinforcements will soon arrive at Londinium—"
No matter how small the hope is, it is what Victoria needs today. Compared with the south, the interior of the north has also begun to have dark waves due to the fall of the capital. These are objects that the royal family can use.
"How long can the army's supplies last?"
"—about a month, Your Majesty, if you count the supplies hoarded in the palace before."
"Is there any funds left?"
The old advisor looked at the Queen's eyes, hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"The treasury's funds have been exhausted, Your Majesty, including the royal appropriation originally used to repair the palace—"
"Can I purchase from Rhodes Island? — Now they are the only ones who dare to sell supplies for us, and other countries are afraid of Robert." The queen looked at the unoptimistic material statistics in the document, "If you have no money for the time being, credit first— —or use the remaining luxuries in the palace as collateral.”
Looking at the budget-minded queen, the old adviser's calm eyes were a bit dim. For the old Victorian nobleman who was born and raised in glory, the queen's practice of using the palace's cultural relics as collateral to raise supplies from foreign countries was really sad.
And he had to reveal the brutal truth to the queen.
"Your Majesty—in fact, the cost of airdropping the guards has already exceeded our upper limit, and about 30% of the unpaid amount has been used by Rhodes Island's interest-free loan. If we mortgage them again, from the perspective of a businessman Looking at it, this business has almost no profit, and even needs to lose money."
As a talented old consultant, he naturally understands that Rhodes Island has exhausted its benevolence.
"Currently our supplies are sufficient for a month, as long as we get a turnaround in this month, or mobilize supplies from various counties, maybe—"
