Heroes of The Sky – Chapter 0426

Peter had given Harris half a month to take Mt. Barus. For this reason, he even sent an additional artillery battalion to provide greater fire support. However, no one expected the Ultima Consortium’s troops to abandon their position at Mt. Barus after the Panaqua Consortium defeated them at the Mahakam River.

If everything went according to plan, they would have escaped and preserved their remaining troops. But unfortunately for them, their ferries were blown up by Milo and company.

The Ultima Consortium had already drawn back their defensive lines entirely while Fortress 178’s Engineering Battalion was successful in building a pontoon bridge across Blackstone River. The bridges that were constructed through current engineering technology and mechanical building equipment had no problems supporting mechanized troops crossing on them.

Once Fortress 178 built up their defensive line on the other side of the river, this road leading up north would finally be considered completely opened.

If everything else went smoothly, Fortress 178 would continue northwards to take the front line at Mt. Sentani, and there would be no further obstacles hindering them from traveling up north.
