Release that Witch - Chapter 1338

[Chapter 1302]

five days later—

“Excuse me, is it Your Highness the Eldest Princess?”

“Yes, this is the news just received by the headquarters. The exact number is still being verified, but it should be at least six hundred or more.”

“The garrison of Howling Castle has implemented containment, and they should be relocated to Neverwinter by land after resting.”

“No, that’s what we should do.”

“Thank you for your hard work, please rest well.”

After Edith finished her report, she hung up the phone steadily.

As the highest-level means of communication at present, the hand-cranked telephone has become an indispensable equipment for the staff department. However, due to the limitation of the transmission distance, the only one that can directly connect to the highland of Cage Mountain is the Air Knight camp outside Thorn Town.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw the surprised third brother, Lance Kant.

“Is there a problem?”

Unlike her second brother Cole, Edith used her connections to directly transfer Lance, who had passed the primary education assessment, to the General Staff—considering that her third brother had a more detached temper, she thought it would be more appropriate for her to look after her.

Of course, this is also more convenient for her to appreciate the other party’s pain when encountering setbacks at close range.

“Ah… no, it’s nothing, I was just a little surprised, it turns out that elder sister, you are also very respectful to others.” Lance walked forward with a stack of documents in his arms, “Even if you talked to your father before, you were not so respectful.” You’re welcome.”

“I thought your brain size would increase a little when you grow up.” Edith said disapprovingly, “I said that to my father because my father would not do anything to me, but Tilly Wimbledon is Roland Your Majesty’s sister, if she mentions my rudeness in front of my brother, what do you think will happen to the future of the Kant family?”

“But I always feel that you are…not so serious to His Majesty…”

“Because His Majesty is a male, occasionally taking the initiative can produce miraculous results.”

“Uh… I don’t quite understand…”

“The human heart is the highest level of strategy, it’s normal if you don’t understand it,” Edith shrugged, “Even if you have all kinds of skills, you still can’t become the final winner if you don’t understand the human heart.”

“Sister, can you teach me?” Lance asked expectantly.

“Of course,” Edith glanced at him with great interest, “but rather than simply teaching anything, it is most effective to try it yourself. For example, Cole has done a very good job at this point. How, you Want to try it?”

Langston suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Thinking of his brother’s appearance at home, he swallowed, “That… I’ll wait.”

Pearl of the North looked back, “You decide.”

Lance, who had been pardoned, quickly changed the subject, “By the way, did you call His Highness to report the safe arrival of the refugees?”

Edith nodded, “After all, Her Highness Tilly has explained this matter to the staff department as soon as she came back, so of course she must be informed as soon as possible.”

The entire rescue operation exceeded everyone’s expectations. The Sky Knight not only rushed to the battlefield 200 kilometers away in just over an hour, saved a large number of refugees, but also defeated the devil’s tricks in one fell swoop.

Yes, this is no ordinary hunt.

Judging from the clues obtained afterwards, the refugees are probably just bait thrown by the enemy, and the real fatal blow is hidden behind the pursuit team.

What if the First Army really sent a rescue team to respond?

Due to the bad weather and the long distance, if you want to arrive quickly, you must travel light and travel day and night.

In order to prolong the pursuit time as much as possible, the devil is completely waiting for work.

When the two sides collide, the rescue team will find that they are not only facing an enemy army whose number is no less than their own, but also have to resist the attack from the terrifying beast.

Even if they retreated immediately, they would have to trek nearly a hundred kilometers in the wind and snow. How many people could escape in the end?

I’m afraid there will be none.

This was the Devil’s first attempt to fully shrink the First Army.

Even if the latter didn’t care about the refugees at all, or didn’t notice the hunt north of Howling Castle at all, it would have no loss for the devil.

They have probably noticed that there is an essential difference between the people of Graycastle and the people of Wolfheart and Eternal Winter. The rescue team will weaken the human power by one more point.

But the appearance of the Sky Knight caught the ambush by surprise.

Everything was a bit like the shelling battle at Wangbei Slope a year ago. The enemy and the First Army each made a favorable judgment, but the results were quite different.

Even if Tilly didn’t find another enemy army lurking behind, the situation of the battle would not change in any way.

In the end, the flight team returned safely, and the fugitive refugees were lucky enough to escape, which can be called a big victory.

“The Sky Knight is really powerful…” Lance sighed, “Not only did he kill dozens of madmen, but he also retreated from all sides, even the Holy Blessed Army of the Federation in the past, it was very difficult to do it. up to this point?”

“Yeah, it’s really amazing.”

After taking a deep breath, Edith put her legs on the table and leaned slowly on the back of the chair, losing interest for a while.

Lance was startled, “You seem… a little unhappy?”

“I can’t say I’m unhappy, I just feel that… the staff department will soon be reduced to a display.”

“Huh?” The third brother’s eyes widened.

“Four Skyfires can drive back more than two hundred devils. What if the first army has a hundred, or even a thousand Skyfires?” Edith smiled, “Then just one sentence, where is the enemy Just send the Sky Knights wherever they go. Strategies and calculations will become meaningless, and anyone can say the previous sentence, if it reaches this point, what is the staff department if it is not a decoration?”

In fact, when she saw this free-flying machine for the first time, she had already realized its huge military potential. Afterwards, what she talked with Roland the most was about the use of the Sky Knight.

She even established a team in the staff group that specializes in air force tactics, in order to make the most of this new weapon.

However, when it really shined in the first battle, Beidi Pearl felt a bit of regret.

Because the air knight’s advantage is too obvious, it makes the strategy less important.

In the age of knights, the formation of troops and the formulation of tactics were very particular, but now it is undoubtedly simplified a lot-because the air force has the advantage of vision, it can make battlefield intelligence more transparent, and at the same time, coupled with its strong maneuverability, it is enough to Intercept the entire engagement area.

In other words, as long as you can occupy the sky, you can completely grasp the enemy’s every move, but the enemy’s situation is completely opposite. Facing the situation is almost pitch-black, it is difficult to make effective responses except to be passively beaten.

Not to mention that His Majesty also revealed that the Skyfire has only just started, which is equivalent to the flintlock compared to the current Mark 1.

“In that case… let’s go back to Evernight City,” Lance said in a low voice.

“I’m afraid it’s too late,” Edith chuckled, “I’m afraid I’ve offended a lot of people by being able to sit in this seat. Do you think those people will let me enjoy the rest of my life?”

Of course she knew that if Roland was in power, nothing would happen naturally, but she was never afraid to predict fate in the worst possible way, because those malicious words could always hurt others .

“I will… protect you.” Lance bit his lip and said.

“Rely on what? Just rely on your current status and ability? If you can’t climb to a high position, it’s better not to say such empty words.” She felt a surge of joy, “Otherwise the result will only be worse, such as those In front of you, the enemy took me—”

Edith shut her mouth suddenly.

Footsteps sounded outside the room, and Ferlin Sylt soon opened the door and walked in.

“Master, so you are here…”

“Why, is there any new information sent?”

“It would be great if it is,” Li Xiaochen showed a headache expression, “I just checked the list of material requirements for the Xiakong Knight training camp, I am afraid that the recent logistics plan will have to be reorganized.”

“Oh?”

“You may not know that they have used nearly ten thousand rounds of ammunition in the past few days, and this does not include the consumption during the official attack.” Feilin said distressedly, “And those students have a total of twenty or thirty students, and this demand has already covered Ten squads of the Musketeer Battalion would be exhausting! Not to mention the reserves of fuel, aircraft parts, etc., I think if their number doubles a few times, how can logistics be taken care of… Uh, my lord?”

Lance suddenly discovered that the laziness on his sister had disappeared at some point.

Edith stood up from her seat and replied lightly, “You will take the lead in completing this work, and you must ensure the supplies of the Air Knight no matter what.” Then she looked at Lance, “You are still standing there What are you doing?”

“Yes?” The latter couldn’t recover for a while.

“Follow me to the intelligence room, it’s far from the time to rest.” Edith brushed up her hair neatly, turned and walked out of the house.
