"Lord Edith..." Fei Lin reminded in a low voice, "That's a loss of more than 200 people, a big victory or something..."
"It's just over two hundred people," Beidi Pearl interrupted. "Where's the devil? About fifty were thrown into the camp, including one high-level devil. Almost all the casualties of the First Army were caused by them. Yes. At first glance, fifty to two hundred, we suffered a big loss, but the main enemy who died in front of the defense line is less than two thousand. This is only the most preliminary estimate. Those who were blown to pieces during the escape process Devil, it takes days to spell a complete number, am I right, Miss Sylvie?"
"Uh..." Sylvie hesitated, "The corpse of the enemy seen by the magic eye is almost like this."
"Ms. Agatha, I guess you didn't command a war more than four hundred years ago, or even participated in one, right?" Edith looked at the Ice Witch.
The latter couldn't help frowning, "During the War of Divine Will, fighting the devil was a compulsory course for the witches of the Federation. Although I used to be a researcher of the Quest Society, I also fought against the enemy on the way to explore the ruins..."
"I'm talking about war." Edith leaned forward slightly, her expression aggressive.
"Edith" Iron Axe stopped.
"Why?" Anna asked suddenly, and her intervention drew everyone's attention back, "Why do you think so? As far as I know, you are the Knight Commander in the Northland, and you have never experienced a great war. Yes."
If someone else asked this question, it would add fuel to the fire, but from Anna's mouth, everyone felt unexpectedly peaceful, and there was no sign of quarrel at all.
It was probably those pure and serious eyes that made it impossible for people to think of anything else.
Edith also restrained her aura, rubbed her chest and replied, "You're right, I really haven't experienced a real war, but someone here has experienced it..." She paused slightly, "Just by looking at her expression, you can tell it's like this. What was the result?"
she
Everyone followed the gaze of Beidi Pearl, and they saw Felice, the representative of Taquila, holding a cup of hot tea in a corner of the long table. The corners of her mouth were raised, and her eyes were full of smiles. Every once in a while, he will take a sip from the teacup, as if tasting some delicious drink. For Taquila witches, this is not a common sight. Losing their sense of taste, they eat only to survive, and it is almost impossible to show an expression of enjoyment.
At this time, everyone noticed that the discussion was so intense before, but Phyllis didn't pay attention to the meeting at all. Even if she became the focus of attention now, she was still wandering in the sky.
It wasn't until Wendy next to her gave her a slight push that Phyllis came back to her senses.
"Oh? Where did you talk about it?" The Witch of God's Punishment coughed twice, "I was thinking about a very important matter just now, and I didn't pay attention to what you said. What, does Her Royal Highness want to ask me any questions? "
"..." The scene was dumbfounded.
She was clearly in a daze, but she could say that she was thinking about something important in front of everyone. It turned out that the ancient witches four hundred years ago were not much different from the people of today in some respects.
"puff."
I don't know who laughed first, there was a burst of light laughter among the crowd, and the heavy atmosphere in the room dissipated a lot.
"Looks like I don't need to ask any more." Anna shook her head amusingly.
Edith stood up and looked around, "It's the devil who loses more, it's the devil who turns around and flees, and we're still standing here, and the Tower 1 site is safe and sound. How can we fail? Your Majesty once said to me. In a word, winners and losers are often measured by whether or not they have achieved their goals. Obviously, they didn't get the results they wanted. I can even say that the devil's commander made a very serious mistake."
"Wrong... Wrong?" The participants were a little surprised. It can be said that every detail was considered in this night attack. It can be called an extremely successful ambush, and it doesn't look like there is a major mistake. It's nothing more than an accurate judgment of magic power. After all, the wars before them for nearly a thousand years revolved around this point, but it is very shocking to be able to target firearms so quickly and effectively. You must know that the two ethnic groups have no communication at all, and the only official battle is the previous battle of Wangbeipo.
Although no one has mentioned it, everyone has a little fear of the devil in their hearts. This is different from the enemy in their impression. Even if the human beings on the fertile plains were once defeated, and the witch empire was also destroyed by their hands, but that is old history after all. . History is something that will distort and fade with the passage of time, and it cannot be intuitively felt.
Until this battle broke out, everyone really touched the corner hidden under the veil of history.
They are by no means comparable to the evil beasts roaming the wild land.
Aside from magic power and a strong body, it is also a "civilization" with a high degree of intelligence.
Even humans... not as good.
When excuses such as "relying on the power and magic given by the gods, if there is no such thing, how can human beings be afraid of these barbarians" are torn apart, and when the proud minds of human beings are also eclipsed, this kind of The shock is absolutely indescribable.
What followed was doubts about themselves, so that few people thought about the devil, so hearing Edith say this, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity.
"What's wrong?" Anna asked subconsciously.
"It's too arrogant, Your Highness." Edith replied decisively, "creating chaos, robbing artillery positions, and then using the army to cover up... If this was a knight order, or an ancient army, it would have collapsed long ago. However, the First Army did not only see the changes in weapons, but ignored the differences in people. This is the biggest mistake the enemy made!"
Everyone froze immediately.
"From the beginning to the end, there were only fifty or so demons that they sent in, which means that the new attack methods are not easy to achieve for the enemy, and they should be put together as much as possible to exert the greatest power. But how do they do it? What? The fifty devils were scattered in four area barracks, two fronts of trenches, and artillery positions." Pearl of the North said eloquently, "The devil commander is by no means an idiot, so the reason why he issued the order is It's obvious: as long as a dozen or so devils are thrown in, the human bugs can be ripped apart, isn't it arrogance to have such undisguised contempt?"
Anna vaguely understood the meaning of the other party's words, and she couldn't help clenching her fists, "If they didn't make this mistake... If they treat humans as equal opponents..."
"Then we wouldn't expect to rely on these fifty people to capture the camp, but to seek to eliminate as many opponents as possible." Edith nodded affirmatively, "Suppose the enemy sent all the devils into the barracks, including one There are only high-level demons, and the army does not move at the same time, and the spider demons leave after sneaking, what will happen?"
Anna felt a chill behind her.
Fifty people replaced 200 people because of the dispersal of troops and the fact that the tug-of-war to seize positions gained reaction time for the reinforcements. If the enemy is rushing to kill from the beginning, and regards the high-level devil as a one-time consumable, then the number of casualties will probably be more than doubled...
"Five hundred, one thousand... or two thousand? Of course, they will eventually be eliminated, and the Tower No. 1 site can also be preserved, but it is difficult to determine the outcome of that." Edith spread her hands and said, "It's a pity Yes, their arrogance made them miss this opportunity, and it also taught the First Army a lot of things, such as the barracks should be built underground, and the roof should not only resist the stone needles, but also the bombardment of machine guns and mortars, etc. If not The enemy made such big mistakes, and we can't learn them at such a small price, can we?" She paused, "In short, this war has just begun, my colleagues."
