Chapter 457: Between the plan
For Lucian, this was also an unforgettable night.
When she saw soldiers lying in front of her, she couldn''t even hold the staff in her hand. This was the first time she faced such a battlefield. Under the dark night and fire, there were continuous screams of killing and screams. The soldiers who didn''t even have time to put on their armor were ruthlessly killed, and the bodies were thrown aside.
“Bang!”
Another corpse fell heavily. Looking at the other party''s wide eyes and his hideous expression of death, Lu Xi''an screamed in fear.
"Hey, there is another woman here! Kill her!"
At this moment, the fortress soldier who heard Lu Xi''an''s shouting rushed over and raised the sword in his hand to Lu Xi''an. Looking at the ferocious soldier in front of him, Lu Xi''an screamed, stood there blankly, watching the opponent''s long sword slash down...!
“Bang!”
However, at this moment, the wall next to Lu Xi''an suddenly broke, and then a tall steel body emerged from it, completely ignoring the opponent''s attack and directly punched the soldier in the head. Then Lu Xi''an watched helplessly as the soldier''s head was directly interrupted by the huge fist, as if a ripe and rotten apple was blown by the wind, flying backwards like branches and leaves, while the headless corpse was sprayed with blood and then fell directly to the ground.
"What are you doing here?"
Duanmuhuai turned his head and stared at Lu Xi''an viciously. The latter even fell to the ground with his legs weakened under Duanmuhuai''s gaze. Seeing this familiar action, Duanmu Huai immediately thought of it.
"Oh, are you that slave?"
“Yes, yes… sir…”
"Okay, stand up."
Duanmuhuai looked around, then looked at Lu Xi''an.
"The battle is almost over, and there are only some resistance guys to deal with next. Don''t be stunned here, so as not to be killed... Forget it, come with me."
"yes………"
Although Lu Xi''an''s legs were as trembling as if she was just born and had not had time to stand firm, she still gritted her teeth and stood up and followed Duanmu Huai.
The entire fortress was already in a mess at this moment, with blood and corpses everywhere. Of course, they are basically the corpses of the soldiers of the Bonn Fortress. After all, the elites of various countries were attacking them, and the strength alone was a huge difference.
“………Why, you must kill someone…”
Following Duanmuhuai and looking at the corpse in the fortress in front of him, Lu Xi''an couldn''t help but ask. Duanmu Huai just glanced at her question.
"Because this is war, war will naturally die."
"Then...why war?"
"As for the Inquisition, Hermann and the AL Church united to attack us, it was simply ignorant of life and death. Killing them was a matter of course. Of course, it was even simpler for the Rebels. They just wanted to survive."
“…Live?”
“That’s right.”
Duanmuhuai walked out of the fortress and looked at the dim and dark night sky in front of her.
"This country is almost over. One percent of the upper class has mastered 90% of its wealth. Ordinary people can''t even eat enough... Haha, have you tasted the bread that ordinary people eat? It''s no different from stones."
“…………”
Lu Xi''an nodded slightly. As a slave, she certainly had eaten that kind of bread. In fact, that kind of bread was just like Duanmu Huai said, it was just a stone. She couldn''t even bite it. She could make a "dongdong" sound when placed on the table, so that people didn''t know whether it was bread or stone for a while.
"The civilians even had problems with their survival, while those nobles, wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials were full of fish and meat, and they lived a good life. At this time, the struggle was almost natural. After all, Hermann''s citizens had only two ways to go, either being exploited by the nobles and merchants until they died, or they rose up to resist and fight."
Speaking here, Duanmu Huai shrugged.
"Anyway, for them, the worst result is death. And now for them, there is no way to survive. Sooner or later, it is better to fight, and there may be hope."
“………………”
Hearing this, Lu Xian lowered his head, held the staff in his hand tightly, and said nothing.
Duanmu Huai didn''t care. Now he believed in Chilti''s judgment. This girl named Luxian probably did come out of somewhere, otherwise she wouldn''t even know the basic common sense of such a civilian.
But Duanmu Huai doesn’t care.
At this moment, he also came to the square in the center of the fortress and greeted An, Gureya and others who were guarding there.
"Yo, how about it?"
"Everything went well, Mr. Knight, but it was still a bit too exciting for everyone."
As she spoke, An blinked at Duanmuhuai playfully and looked along her gaze. Sure enough, Duanmuhuai saw that there were several girls bent down and vomiting not far away - well, they were all graduates of Manalia Academy. It is obvious that compared with An and Gureya, who followed Duanmuhuai back and forth on several planets and participated in many wars, these freshly released Manalia graduates are obviously not used to the real battlefield.
"Okay, cheer up!"
And in front of them, Hannah also cheered them up with a serious expression.
"You are the elites of Manalia! This is the battlefield! Not the exercise field! Here you will die in an instant if you neglect it! It will become a corpse! So now, I want you to be alert! Do you understand?"
"yes……!"
Although the students'' answers were a little weak, they stood up and saw this scene, Duanmu Huai nodded without saying anything. After all, this is their first time on the battlefield, so it would be nice to have their pants not scared. Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai made a gesture.
"Belly girl."
"Meow here, bear it! (>^ω^<
As soon as Duanmu Huai finished speaking, the girl Ling suddenly came out of nowhere from behind him, scaring Lu Xi''an beside her.
"You go back on Valkyrie and tell Krem that the first phase of the battle has been successful and she must send someone to take over the fortress immediately! It must be completed before dawn!"
"receive!"
After capturing the fortress, all Duanmuhuai had to do was to immediately let the soldiers of the Fourth Legion replace the original fortress soldiers, pretending to be the fortress and not being attacked, to confuse the First Army and the Second Army. Fortunately, he had the Night Crow Black Star and Valkyrie gunboat on his hands, so it would be no problem to secretly transport some soldiers over while the night was dark and windy.
At this time, Qierti and Uruze also rushed back separately.
"Sir, someone in our team has lost...ah, here."
Qierti, who was running back hurriedly, was relieved when she saw Lu Xian standing next to Duanmu Huai. When the latter saw Qierti, he hurriedly lowered his head to apologize.
“Yes, I’m sorry, I’ve……”
"It''s nothing, this kind of thing happens often. In short, let''s treat the injured first."
"yes."
Lu Xi''an nodded and agreed, then looked at Duanmu Huai again.
"Thank you for saving me...Thank you very much...!"
After saying this, Lucian turned around and left, returned to Chilty''s guard and began to treat the wounded.
Duanmu Huai just glanced at her, then withdrew her gaze and looked into the night sky.
Next, it depends on how the opponent plans to act.
At the same time, in the camp of the First Legion, Cleolev was also staring at the same night sky.
"General, it''s so late, it''s time for you to rest."
Adjutant Carl stood behind him and whispered a reminder, while Cleolev shook his head.
"I''m not tired, hey... How long does it take for the reinforcements of the Second Army to arrive?"
"It will take at least three days, and we are not very adequate in terms of material replenishment."
Speaking of this, Adjutant Carl frowned.
"The excuse for the review committee is that there is insufficient material supply, so we have to find a way ourselves!"
"snort…………"
Cleolev snorted coldly. Of course, he understood why his adjutant was so angry. According to Cleolev''s idea, the arrangement of three legions should have been carried out secretly. After all, the military strategy is full, the real one is empty, and the virtual one is real one is real. As long as the other party is not sure how much their troops are, they can make a big fuss on this point.
But the review board was better, so I sold them all, just about to report all my ID numbers to the rebels!
Now the Resistance Army has known that three legions have joined forces to act against them, with a total of 100,000 people. Now that their side is exposed!
Not only that, Cleolev understood more why the Council was unwilling to give him more supplies. Because Cleolev''s plan is to keep the enemy from moving, and he will bloom from all directions with his own number, which will make the rebels exhausted. After all, there is only one steel giant, and he can only take into account one direction. If attacks are everywhere, the Iron Giant will obviously not be able to catch up with every battle.
But this tactic will consume a lot of time and materials, and the review board does not like it. They are afraid that the other party will ignore it and drive the steel giant directly to the front of the royal city, which will be done.
So they made excuses not to provide sufficient supplies to force Cleolev to fight quickly.
Of course, this will cause a large number of casualties, but for the Council, they wish that the First Legion would die more people, so that the army would have a smaller threat to the Council...
"Why………"
Cryolev sighed again. He gave up the Bonn Fortress specifically in order to use Bonn Fortress as bait. After all, the other party wants to take action, and Bonn Fortress will definitely not let it go. As long as they attack Bonn Fortress, it is equivalent to having already been hooked. By that time, he will be able to lead the First Legion, the Second Legion and the Fifth Legion in one breath... Maybe there will be a chance of winning.
"No news has come from the Fifth Legion yet?"
“…………”
Adjutant Carl shook his head silently. The Fifth Army was originally a guerrilla force, and it can be said that the whole country was running around. Maybe when the Council issued an order, they would be wandering around.
If you are blocked by the Fourth Legion, it will be a problem.
But now... Cleolev has a bad feeling.
Something seems to be wrong.
But forget it, anyway, things have reached this point, and we can only take one step at a time.
