Release that Witch - Chapter 1318

[Chapter 1283 Information Sources]

Wolf Heart, Shen Chiwan.

The victory of this counter-ambush soon spread to Iron Axe’s ears.

He immediately sent a messenger to send his appreciation and encouragement to the Yuball team in the form of a letter, and asked them to return to a safe area temporarily, waiting for the arrival of replacement troops.

Although this team defeated a group of old aristocratic coalition forces, their calm performance and fighting will to win more with less are excellent publicity examples.

Compared with continuing to respond to the refugees, letting them publicize their deeds is obviously more meaningful to the battle situation, especially when the First Army is fully shrinking.

Not long ago, he received two unfavorable news one after another. One was the report from the soldiers lurking in the red mist area that the nobles had taken over the work of blocking the devil.

According to reports, these knights from many families in Eternal Winter are blocking the escapee team everywhere. As the same kind, their threats and lures are undoubtedly much more efficient than those of other races.

However, the First Army will take great risks when it goes deep into the red mist area, and most of the time it can only respond from the periphery, which makes the flow of people at each evacuation point drop to varying degrees.

The second is that the devil who freed his hand once again stepped up the attack on the first army.

This news is a complete battle report. First, an outpost observed a large number of terrifying beasts flying out of the red mist area in the southeast and heading towards Grand Duke Island. Then the island defenders made defensive preparations and at the same time interrupted the sea transportation.

But unexpectedly, this group of terrifying beasts suddenly disappeared in the airspace between the two observation posts, and when they reappeared, they had already rushed over the head of an evacuation team.

The latter also received information about the fearful beast going east, and the evacuees who were working overtime were exposed to the devil’s eyes without any cover.

Although the team made the greatest resistance, they were still completely killed.

There is still no complete statistical report, but according to the support team, nearly 2,000 migrants died in the attack, and the army lost at least a hundred people.

Such a serious loss forced Iron Ax to make the decision to fully shrink the front.

The two unfavorable news can be described as a chain reaction. It is not that the staff has not considered the defection of the nobles, but they did not expect them to defect so quickly.

The big families of Yongdong have been fighting for nearly two years without deciding on a new king, but now they are “unified” under the will of the devil, which cannot but be said to be a kind of irony.

Now the situation is very clear, the stage of the great immigration is coming to an end, and the First Army needs to accumulate strength to defend the border area where the red mist will eventually cover.

At present, the number of soldiers transported to Cage Mountain and Shenchi Bay is about 5,000, which is less than one-sixth of the total force, and the number of troops the devil can mobilize is temporarily unknown. Before he finds out the enemy’s situation, he can no longer easily lose troops up.

What Iron Ax is most worried about is that when the first army’s transport capacity is limited and its troops are insufficient, the devil will gather a large army to attack those nodes that have not yet completed the deployment, and then the army will fall into a dilemma that cannot be defended or rescued.

After all, there is no “mobile fortress” that is as convenient as an armored train to rely on when fighting in Wolfheart.

“My lord,” at this moment a soldier walked into the study of the mansion, “Master Edith Kant, Chief of the General Staff, has just arrived at the port.”

“Oh?” The person who shared the worries came by himself, “It just so happens that it’s okay, I’ll go to the port to pick her up too.”

… At the

pier, Iron Ax saw Pearl of the Northland surrounded by members of the staff department. There was an expression of liberation on his face, as if he had completely forgotten the horrible experience of being tossed by her.

She has only been a minister for about a year, and she has already gained the respect and recognition of the members.

Thinking about the nobles of Yongdong and Langxin, and looking at the daughter of the former duke, Tie Ax couldn’t help feeling secretly that the gap between the nobles was indeed as big as the abyss.

“Master Commander,” Edith also saw the iron axe, she stroked her chest and saluted, “Long time no see, I hope my subordinates didn’t cause you any trouble.”

“In terms of their duties, they have all fulfilled their responsibilities.” Iron Ax also returned a military salute. The two were basically equal in status, and there was no gap in the conversation. In other words, apart from His Majesty and Lord Yinyue, the other party was also him. The only one willing to chat a few more people.

“In other words, they didn’t give you any surprises?” Edith shrugged and turned to look at all the staff, “It seems that everyone’s recent performance is not very qualified.”

Iron Ax couldn’t help raising the corners of his mouth , the Miss Pearl of the Northland is still so unforgiving, “If you can win the war smoothly, it’s not a bad thing.” The

other party didn’t go any further, but changed the topic, “Yes Yes, I came with me this time, and there are weapons newly developed by His Majesty based on front-line intelligence, are you interested in taking a look?”

Iron Axe’s eyes lit up immediately, “Of course, please lead the way.”

A group of people came Arriving at the heavily guarded loading and unloading area, which has been isolated by the defenders alone, huge wooden boxes are being hoisted from the ship one by one and neatly placed in a corner of the yard.

Many of the boxes have been opened, revealing the weapons wrapped in oiled paper.

His attention quickly turned to a small artillery.

“You have a good eye,” Edith laughed. “This 75mm gun is the most expensive firearm in this batch of goods. Your Majesty hopes to use it to fill the firepower gap between mortars and fortress guns. It doesn’t need a witch to do it.” Transport, assembled into a four-wheeled state, only one horse or two people can pull it around, and the shells can also be carried by people.”

“This reminds me of the original front-mounted field artillery,” Iron Ax nodded , He immediately realized the usefulness of this light weapon – compared to the anti-devil grenades and mortars with a shorter range, the new artillery is obviously more suitable for dealing with thick-skinned and thick-skinned spider demons.

Even if it is too late to build artillery positions, the frontline soldiers will not be helpless against spider demons.

“As for the new rifle placed over there, it is a semi-automatic weapon.” Edith introduced as she walked, “Its effect in the test is not bad, and two or three shots of the gun can reach a level comparable to that of a heavy machine gun.” The effect. You must be familiar with the person who first came up with this idea. He is Fanner, the commander of the artillery battalion. Although the official product has been improved by His Majesty, it is still named as the Vanner rifle.”

“But this is only temporary .

I heard that the real automatic weapon is currently in the trial production stage, and it should be delivered as soon as the finished product comes out.”

“The one on the far side is the new anti-devil grenade, its caliber is much larger than before. It should be that the Ministry of Chemical Industry has improved the propellant…” The

visitors gradually dispersed, and when they walked all the way to the edge of the yard, there were only two of them left in the group.

“Why, isn’t the battle going well?” Edith asked suddenly.

Iron Ax was startled, and then he realized that it was not accidental that the other party brought him here alone.

“Did you see it?”

“If it wasn’t like this, you probably wouldn’t have come to meet me at the pier the first time.”

“Sure enough, I can’t hide it from you.” Iron Ax let out a breath, telling the recent bad news and his worries “It will take us a few months to gather all the troops and ammunition here before the transportation channel is opened, but the devil may launch an attack from a certain place at any time. Even if Miss Sylvie , Lightning, and Maggie are all here, and it is impossible to monitor such a wide front. The battle is imminent, but I know little about the enemy’s situation, which is not a good sign.”

“I see.” Edith pondered for a moment, “The transportation channel This matter… I can’t do anything, but in terms of intelligence, it may not be so difficult to solve.”

“Do you have an idea?”

“That’s right. You only think about using the First Army to solve the problem, so you will find it so difficult.” Pearl of the North said slowly, “It seems that the devil drives the nobles to serve him, but it also creates opportunities for us. As long as the devil doesn’t clear every city, we can plant a large number of eyes in the enemy’s abdomen!”

Iron Ax seemed to realize something, “These eyes are not soldiers of the First Army…”

“Of course not, soldiers are not suitable for this kind of work Things, ordinary civilians or rats are better choices—preferably they are local people themselves, so that it is natural enough. And there are many ways to turn these people into our eyes,” Edith laughed Laughing, “By the way, didn’t you receive a black piece of paper before? Try to contact them.”
