Release that Witch Chapter 889: The key person

The Dunkin who was forced to follow First Army found that they still underestimated their strength.

From the battle to the defeat, the men and women on both sides have not even touched directly. Uncle Sang, they just kept firing on the Dawn troops. There was neither the arrow rain covering the sun, nor the sweat and blood when killing. In the front of a mile long, he could see nothing, but From time to time, some people in the lineup fell down in pieces, as if cooperating with the movement here.

This makes the war look like a drama, like an empty drama.

But the shriek from the side of the road knows that it is just his illusion. The easier First Army behaves, the more it can prove that they are powerful.

He finally understood what Nail's so-called "First Army combat method" means.

A team of several hundred people acts like a single person. It is like a ghost when it is silent, and it is silent when it strikes. Everything is carried out according to plan, and its discipline is unprecedented. Compared to those with amazing lethality weapon, Dunkin thinks that Northern Lands's garrison is not inferior. While covering at night, it is ambush on the eve of dawn; all five teams enter the battlefield, and there is no oversight team behind them. As a commander, Hawk Face does not stay behind camp, Stay in the ambush circle closest to the old Holy City; all the people are highly concentrated, the division of labor is clear, and each order can be quickly executed ... If it is not for these details, even with the fierce weapon, I am afraid that there is no way to achieve such a result.

After witnessing the entire battle, Dunkin couldn't help but be glad that he chose to leave Hermes in time.

If you stay at Holy City and wait until these guys break into the city, I'm afraid that a businessman like him will deal with it as an enemy.

Also, he sighed secretly, it was too dangerous outside. If he could go back safely this time, he would still do business in Eternal Night City.

Although there is not much money, it should not be a problem to support the family.

Fuer, "Heaven on Earth," should he miss him too, right?

I really hope to be home sooner, Dunkin thought.

*******************

In the evening, Hawk Face walked into the temporary discussion tent, gave a military salute to Edith, and then handed in a booklet, "The battlefield has been cleaned up initially. Here is the situation reported by each class. I briefly summarized it. . "

"It's hard for you," Pearl of the Northern Lands took the booklet and looked through it from beginning to end. First Army was not expected to have any casualties, Dawn found more than a thousand corpses, and over 600 others were injured. The direct attrition is estimated to be about 20%. Among them, not many guns were killed. Most of them died of bombardment and trampled by each other. The blasts along the way only aggravated the degree of chaos.

This is also in line with the Adviser Department's inference. After all, the Northern Lands garrison is too small, and the magic power ark alone cannot transport enough ammunition. In addition, the lack of chasing methods to expand the results of the battle, allowing the enemy to run away is more than expected. As long as the task of expelling the Dawn army is achieved, it will be a successful blockade.

In the end, more than 1,800 people abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Among them, 25 were noble. The highest rank was Earl, who claimed to be feudal lord. But what made Edith interested was another baron named Leymin Payton. The report reads that in a plea of ​​promises to pay ransom, hoping to be treated properly, he repeatedly emphasized that he and a senior Greycastle official have the same old knowledge, and also have a friendship with King of Greycastle.

"Does this guy really say that?" She shook the booklet at Hawk Face.

"It's just nonsense, or I think King of Greycastle or Timothy Wimbledon." vice-battation commander frowned, "What are you going to do with these surrenders noble?"

"The redemption is impossible. Throw it in jail for a while," Edith groaned for a while, "Maybe it will be used in the future. As for non-noble, it can be dismissed on the spot, we don't have so much extra food. Give them. "

"Yes."

"Did not find the whereabouts of Lord of Dawn Anpei Moore?"

"No one matching his characteristics was found in the corpse," Hawk Face shook his head. "Some people were suspected to have seen Anpei when questioning the captives, but at that time he and a group of Knight seemed to have changed their clothes and did not carry a banner. Or family emblem. The others wanted to retreat with them, but they were also blocked by Knight. Due to the long distance and the chaos on the scene, the guy could not be sure that the other party was Anpei. "

"Where did you meet?"

"In the old Holy City."

"It's probably him then," Edith shrugged. "If you want to gather a team of this size, King proposition is essential. If the king of a country is in the army, you think you should go Where? "

"Uh ... the front?" Hawk Face wasn't sure.

"To be exact, it was after the pioneer." She explained, "The old Holy City had no walls, and it was up to you to grab anything fast. Therefore, looting such a thing would naturally require King to come first. Pioneers generally belong to him. The Knight regiment can play a role in not only eliminating threats in advance, but also ensuring that he is the first to enter the city. "

"So when Operation bomber started, they were already in the city?"

"Yeah. Because of this, Anpei has escaped the aerial attacks of Macy and Miss Hummingbird, and has sufficient time to identify the situation and choose the correct direction of escape. Having said that, it is possible to decide to drop the dignity of King in one hour The disguise was a qualified response. "Edith raised the corners of his mouth and licked his lips gently.

"Damn! Let the biggest fish run away!" Hawk Face said indignantly, "If I can prepare a chaser in advance ..."

"It's useless," she interrupted. "With such a wide plain, you can only intercept him unless you can predict his escape route. The ambush on the main road only uses the enemy's retreat habits and herds. Psychologically, so when they fled to the wheat field on the other side, the killing effect of firearms was greatly reduced. "

"..." vice-battation commander did not refute, but still looked very annoyed.

"You don't need to blame yourself, you know that this may not be a good thing." Edith smiled.

"Why?" Hawk Face came surprisedly at raised head.

"This problem is more complicated to explain. You just need to understand that fear is contagious. Will those people consider Your Majesty's warnings as nothing when they realize how terrible they are against Greycastle?" Pearl of the Northern Lands paused, " Anpei Moore ’s Throne is afraid it ’s not so good. ”

Seeing that she didn't want to talk further, Hawk Face didn't follow up, "What should we do next? Will we occupy the old Holy City directly?"

"Rely on these five hundred people? Even stationed in the city can't even splash a splash of water." Edith vetoed without hesitation, "Wait a second, Miss Macy has picked up a key person, if it goes well Then, maybe we can win this place without much effort. "
