"My lord, the enemy has retreated. All their troops have evacuated the Valley of the Orphans and built a camp 10 kilometers away from the fortress... My lord, we have won, a great victory!" After looking around the battlefield and roughly understanding the situation, Victor excitedly ran to me who was resting in a corner outside the city wall and congratulated me repeatedly.
"What a miserable victory! If it weren't for the defeat of the 4th Division, maybe it could be called a victory! The death of more than 6,000 magicians, this is simply a nightmare..." With a sigh, I casually threw away the stone that I had just scratched on the ground. In my heart, I was silently feeling sorry for the majority of the magician troops that were destroyed in the battle. It seems that the magician troops are really fragile! There were only a few dozen guns, but only two rounds of attacks, and almost a magician division was defeated. This was simply unbearable for me.
"Sir, the casualties are so low, in my opinion, it's already very good. We lost less than 8,000 people in total, but this time we made more than 100,000 elite orcs fall forever in front of us. With such a result, our losses are almost negligible! But... but... our magic cannons were damaged too much... All the magic cannons equipped to us were destroyed in just one battle. I think this is still difficult to report to the higher-ups..."
"Magic cannon? What's there to explain about that thing? Isn't it just some equipment? I'll have my people work on it quickly, and they'll be able to supply us with it in no time.
In this war, soldiers, especially magicians, are the most valuable. According to the current situation, it only takes one month to produce hundreds of magic cannons. It takes at least several months to train a qualified combat warrior, and it is impossible to become a magician without several years.
Before knowing the exact number of the orcs' invading troops, what we need to do is to preserve the long-term combat effectiveness of our troops as much as possible. And the most urgent task now is not just these, the most important thing now is to destroy all the magic crystal cannons in the hands of the orcs.
Only in this way can we rely on the city walls and a large number of magic cannons, magicians and orcs to fight for a long time until the enemy expends the last drop of blood under our city walls. . . . . . "
"Your Excellency is right, but this magic cannon is complicated to manufacture and expensive. If the orcs invade in large numbers and we cannot replenish them in time, we will be in big trouble... In addition, I am also worried that if your explanation does not satisfy the higher-ups, this incident will affect your position in the heart of Her Majesty the Queen. It is said that there are officials who are dissatisfied with you for our self-destruction of the magic cannon used to attack the orcs, and they are secretly working against you... Your Excellency, please be careful!"
"Well, I will be careful... As for those who only know how to stir up trouble, I have my own ideas, so you don't have to worry about it.
In addition, according to my judgment, the magic crystal cannons used by the orcs this time are not all the ones in the Canglang Defense Line. It is estimated that in the near future, those orcs will launch the next round of attacks on us, and those remaining magic crystal cannons will definitely appear again.
Therefore, you must increase the vigilance and reconnaissance of the canyon's periphery in a short period of time to prevent those magic crystal cannons from being deployed outside our fortress. If you find those things, you must destroy them as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will not be able to resist the attacks of those orcs. . . . .
Well, in this envelope is the method I just thought of to deal with the magic crystal cannon. If by some chance I am unable to command in person, then you will take on this responsibility. The future of the East Continent... No, the future of the Kingdom of Yann depends on you..."
After hearing what Victor said, I felt a little uneasy. If what he said was true, then my current situation was not very good. Although I knew that with my record and achievements, as long as I could explain it to Queen Yan in person, all problems would disappear. But the problem was that I was now at the front line, while Queen Yan was in the rear. If someone spread rumors, then I would most likely be asked to explain to Queen Yan in person. And this was not a situation I wanted to see.
After gathering the troops, I asked the main force to go to the military camp in the fortress, and then I took Victor and a team of guards to the command center of the fortress. In addition to checking the situation in the fortress, I also wanted to find Yiya to understand the specific casualties and losses of the ambush troops.
"Sir..." As soon as I stepped into the command post, Yiya rushed towards me. From the expression on her face, I could tell how much she missed me during these three days.
"Haha! Yiya, you are not hurt, right? Well, not bad, your face is still so pretty, so I feel relieved..." With a slight teasing, I reached out and stroked Yiya's head without the helmet.
"Captain Shen, you are really capable of anything! You made up your own military laws, enforced them yourself, injured the prince of the Mocast Empire, and now you have caused the destruction of hundreds of magic cannons for a little credit... and then you are flirting in this military stronghold... I don't know if you still have the law and military discipline in your eyes!"
At this moment, Parker, the commander of the Mocaster Empire Army who had been dormant, walked out of the military hall and started speaking a series of truths.
"Lord Parker, what do you mean by this? Since our Lord is the commander of the coalition forces, everything he does has his reasons. And your prince was indeed punished by the Lord because he violated military discipline. If you are dissatisfied with this, you can directly ask your emperor to find the queen of the Kingdom of Yan. Are you deliberately destroying the cooperation and friendship between the two countries by making a fuss here
In addition, regarding the destruction of the magic cannon you mentioned, I can tell you clearly that our Lord had to do this in order to destroy the magic crystal cannon that the enemy had transported from the Canglang Line of Defense. If it weren't for your country's Marshal Bout's escape from the battlefield and his ignorance of the aftermath, how could Lord Shen have needed to clean up the mistakes made by your Mokaster Empire? I think your Mokaster Empire is deliberately destroying the cooperation between the two countries this time... "Victor immediately counterattacked Parker's sarcasm. At the same time, his words also aroused the echo of a large number of officers from the Kingdom of Yan.
"Lord Parker, there is no need to say anything! Unless you can produce more concrete evidence, I think everyone present is not a fool, and no one will believe you. If you want to drive me out of this position, then you should show some strength yourself, and don't play those conspiracies and tricks behind my back. This will not only harm others and yourself, but also may become a sinner of the entire East Continent... I think under the current situation, you should think clearly before doing such a thing!" I didn't argue with Parker. I just glanced over his words and prepared to turn around and leave. After all, this is not the time for a war of words. I just remember what happened now, and I will return it one by one in the future.
"Well, maybe you are right! But what? Everything is over. No matter whether it is those hateful orcs, or our great coalition forces... even the troops of your Kingdom of Yan, they will have nothing to do with you... Because you, Commander Shen, have become an outsider in this war from now on. This is the message jointly expressed by your Queen Yan and His Majesty the Emperor of our country, requiring you to set off immediately and report to the Queen of your country... Hahahahaha~~~~~~ " (To be continued)
