Section 1056: To The Moon I.
"The legions of New Eden have set out. Penny glanced at the letter taken from the carrier pigeon, turned to Chang Chang, who was sitting in the back of the tracked car, and said, "The coordinates are five miles north of Lambberton, and they are crossing the Salou River." ”
"Five miles, the Salou River, then they must be on the Scadia Bridge. He glanced at the small sand table in front of him, and the compatriots on the sand table who had received the shrunk immediately began to move the chess pieces representing the New Eden Legion.
And beside them, King Faisal of Ashbi, rode on his horse, watching the deduction that Long Time and Penny had done for him.
"Scadia Bridge, about thirty miles from us, if we go according to the original plan, we will meet them on the way to the battlefield, and it is a little too late. King Faisal frowned, "Do you have any ideas?" ”
"Let the griffin knight cooperate with the battle mage to perform a night explosion, we can provide the props for the bombardment, after all, we steppe elves still need to hide ourselves. He turned to look at King Faisal, "Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”
"No problem, but the only problem is that our griffon knights and battle mages aren't good at night. ”
"I will give them the help of several teams of navigators, Your Majesty, a simple bombardment, it only takes ten minutes to disrupt their marching columns, and we can move the battlefield to the place we have calculated. ”
"Well, you let the action take charge, I let the commander of the griffin knights and battle mages follow your orders, but there is a request, at least bring most of them back. His Majesty the King said with a rare bargain.
In this regard, Long Chancellor nodded with Penny: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, New Eden is the enemy of all of us, and the oath of the steppe elves is more expensive than gold, I'm sure you've heard it too, haven't you." ”
“…… yes, so that's why I trust you. After His Majesty finished speaking, he turned to look at his herald: "Go, let the commander of the battle mage, Count Fisk, and the commander of the griffin knights, Baron Kim, come over for a while." ”
………………
The news of the attack on the legion reached the command post of His Royal Highness the Prince as soon as possible, and it is said that it caused a lot of anger, which made the measurement officer who went out with the army frown-what are those guys in the Eastern Continent doing, this night bombardment actually did not cause too much damage, and it can even be said that the loss is not large, after all, in the fifteen-minute attack time, the legion of New Eden from beginning to end has lost less than the size of a squadron, which can be said to be very similar to the legion of nearly 300,000 combatants.
But why would they carry out such an attack that was so obviously useless?
The measurement officer was a little confused about the thoughts of the people in the Eastern Continent.
Judging from the scale of the attack, this is not a large-scale attack, the battle mages of the Eastern Continent can be said to be close to the river, through the air defense network of New Eden, and all the blazing glue and heavenly light lamps were dropped in one go, and then quickly disappeared into the night under the cover of the griffin knight.
After all, they are the masters of this land, and compared to New Eden, the surveyor doesn't think it's surprising that these guys can fly like this, after all, they are on their home turf.
"Your Excellency the Surveyor, do you think the Eastern Continent is carrying out this attack, is it just to cause us a little trouble?" said His Excellency the Grand Architect, who was standing beside the Surveyor.
In this regard, the measurement officer nodded: "I think, there should be nothing wrong with this." ”
In his opinion, what the Eastern Continent did was nothing more than delaying their own death.
But death is the fairest existence in this world.
Mortal...... Death is inevitable.
………………
When the last warband passed through the possible meeting point, and the legion of New Eden still failed to appear, Marceau knew that the operation was complete, and the knot battle mages and griffin knights successfully met their tactical needs with the help of Anne and Young.
"Anta and the others should have come south, and I wonder what they will think when he comes and finds that New Eden is not approaching Ashbi, and that the battle they imagine is far away. As she said this, Flame stood beside Marceau, and Catgirl smiled and sighed.
"If we can get them safe, that's the best for us......" Marceau looked at Flame and reached out to take Catgirl's hand.
War makes children walk away, not to make them not understand the cruelty of war, nor to make them not to face the bloodshed of war, but simply to keep them away from the war itself, even if it is a patriotic war that requires everyone to muster courage, even if these children have noble beliefs in their hearts.
Adults have the right and the obligation to face the war, no matter what, it is a dereliction of duty as an adult to let a half-grown child set foot on the battlefield, Marceau does not want those seminary steppe elf children to return to Ashbee to face the war, because until Anta dies in assassination, there is not one in ten seminary hybrids who come back with her, and there are only six of the sixty-seven cubs left in a class.
It's not a playhouse, it's a war, it's a hell that adults like Marceau should face calmly, it's not a playground for children.
"Marceau, I know you're doing it for their good, but the New Eden's front stretches all the way north, and they have to face it, and learning to face it calmly is better than being passive and helpless for a day. Flame said in Marceau's ear: "I know what you are thinking, Marceau, you are the same as before, you are so hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, we can only save for a while, we can't save this world, this world, one day we will learn to lose us, and wait for the opening of the next advent era, so ...... Marceau, don't mind the sacrifice of those children, at least they are much braver than those cowards, and because of their existence, whether it is the once timid players or the cowardly natives, will eventually gather under that banner, Marceau...... Remember the oath we made. ”
"Remember, Flame, we were at that time, as we are now, looking at the starry sky, and we said that we would let the innocent be redeemed and the good be blessed...... Let Faisal's flag fly again on this land, and let faith and righteousness once again become the most precious things in the eyes of the people. Marceau looked at the cat girl in front of her, and the squinted cat cub was very happy.
"Well, I remember, at that time, I pointed to the stars and told you, when I was very young, I thought those stars were like lighthouses...... What a memory, Marceau. Catgirl rested her head on Marceau's shoulder: "At that time, I asked you what to do if time went by and we forgot each other, or rather, we could never find each other again." ”
"I tell you, if I forget you, you go to Mars, because I'm on Mars, and if we're all on the same earth, one day, we'll meet. Speaking of which, Marceau remembered that this girl had come to Xicuizhuang when she was young, and the kitten grinned, stretched out her hand and hugged the cat girl: "You came to me, right?" ”
"Because I remember what you said, I came to you...... Now that I've found it, it's great. ”
"Well, I'm back, and this time, we're going to change this cruel fate. ”
Holding Flame's hand, Marceau stepped onto the tracked car, and Yuan in the driver's seat smiled: "It's very touching to meet again, right." ”
"yes, Mado, I'm so happy you can join us. Flame said.
"Mrs. Lao Jiu has a proverb that is not wrong, the only difference between a woman in this life is only who she marries, so what reason do I have for us to separate our sisters. After speaking, Yuan pouted at Marceau, who walked beside her: "Mr. Marceau, when will you come to my house to propose." ”
"At this year's New Year's Banquet, I will make a formal request to the elders of you cat girls. Marceau said with a serious face.
"Ah, that's great, we sisters are waiting for your words, Mr. Marceau. Yuan laughed, and then one of her cat ears was pulled up by the flame: "You little girl, are you in a hurry to get married?" ”
"But isn't it, you know, my grandfather called me an old girl! It's really disgusting! It's only half a month later than the average age of marriage!"
"That'...... Do you want to finish this battle, and I'll come to the centaur and beg my grandfather to say a good word for me?" Marceau scratched her face, thinking to herself that she really didn't expect this to happen.
The two cat girls hurriedly shook their heads.
"Don't set up a flag like that!
Flame didn't speak, but the pleading in her eyes couldn't hide it.
The kitten shrugged his shoulders, and finally could only stuff the two cat girls into the back bucket and sat in the driver's seat himself: "Let's go, my girls." ”
