Chapter 194: Get a Can

A blue magic shield appeared above the base, blocking Charles's attack from the sky, and suddenly the golden and blue light flashed together in the setting sun.

In the end, the light cannon that rained into the sky failed to break through the magical defenses of the fish-man base.

Charles pursed his lips and flew sideways a little to avoid the spoon that was flying towards him.

He raised the curry stick again, and the second attack slammed down.

This time it was no longer a golden light cannon, but a pillar of light that shimmered with colorful light.

The defensive magic of the Fish-Man base shattered like glass under the attack of the demon-destroying divine power.

As the defensive magic disappeared, countless bows and arrows and magic flew from the mountains around the base and instantly enveloped most of the base.

The next battle is nothing to do with Charles, his mission has been completed, and the next thing is up to those elves.

After he used the Demon Breaking Divine Power to shatter the base's defensive magic just now, the remaining divine power permeated the entire base, making it impossible for the fish people to put magic shields on themselves for a while.

However, because it was the first time that Charles and the elven army cooperated, there was still some accident during the period, and the magic released by the elves was also eliminated by the little demon-breaking magic power left in the camp.

Fortunately, the elves changed their tactics in time, and the second wave of attacks was dominated by physical attacks such as bows and arrows.

Charles didn't have much to worry about the outcome of today's battle, Elizabeth was followed by 2,000 troops, and another city sent reinforcements from other directions to rescue the village.

By the time Charles began his pursuit of Hallebelli, he had already seen reinforcements rushing towards the village where the gate had been breached.

For the raid on the base here, Elizabeth sent a team that was good at mountain warfare.

In the past few days, the "forest rangers" who had been guarding the peak mountain range in the north formed an elite army and rushed over by train.

This large-scale troop movement fully tested the Elven railway system, and the Elven Royal Court Railway Department finally completed the troop transportation task on time after a chicken and dog jump.

Today they arrived here less than an hour later than Charles, following Charles's mark.

Elizabeth and her staff took advantage of the operation to pull out all the units involved in the war, from the militia to the railroad system.

The battle ended when the moon climbed into the sky, and all the fishmen in the base were wiped out, except for a few large fish that ran away.

The battle briefing here was brought back by Charles, who relied on the stars in the sky to determine the direction, and walked all the way with the map for two hours at night before returning to the village where the battle took place today.

It's not that he doesn't want to fly back directly, it's that he can only fly for a minute or two at a time now, and it's okay to cross difficult places, but there is no way to travel long distances.

A makeshift barracks had been erected in the clearing outside the village, where Elizabeth's troops were stationed tonight.

Outside Elizabeth's tent, Charles meets Horatio, who has just finished reporting to work

Horatio saw the back of Charles's face, and then left without looking at Charles.

Charles looked at him with a smile, and it seemed that this guy was going to have to be angry with himself for a while. Charles had an accident when he recovered his nose in the Temple of Life that day, causing Horatio and the other officers to cancel their leave to maintain order. Coupled with the fact that the war began later, the result was that Horatio's plan to propose marriage at the "Spring Festival Gala" fell through.

Ignoring the depressed Horatio, Charles walked into Elizabeth's tent, where Elizabeth was reading the report.

"Report to the Commander!" Charles saluted Elizabeth, "The battle at Fishman Base is over, here's a battle briefing. ”

Elizabeth didn't look up, but pointed to the low table and told him to put the report on it, and then let him go.

Today's work was done, and Charles walked towards the cooking cart, ready to eat a hot meal and then went to rest.

When he came to the side of the cooking car, Charles asked the cooking soldiers who were busy there, "Do you have anything else to eat?"

"What else do you want to eat besides canned food?" said the cook in a dismissive voice.

Charles grinned, and after weighing it, he still gave up the plan to go back to the tent to eat the reserve food, after all, even Elizabeth now eats canned food like other soldiers, and he is not good at specialization.

The first time he heard about the elven canned food was when Horatio and George were still on a caravan, and an elf said that if he did anything, he would eat it every day of the year.

Elizabeth, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, gave the warrior a thumbs up.

It wasn't until Charles had recently followed Elizabeth on a tour of a workshop that supplied canned food to the army that he knew how brave it would take to say that he ate canned food every day of the year.

The world's steel production was not enough for the elves to make canned food out of iron sheets, so the elves cultivated bamboo of various specifications with sufficient strength to serve as canned containers.

In the canning workshop, the elves first wash fresh chicken or pork in ice water, cool it and cut it into pieces, and then the meat pieces are mixed with starch, salt, The core technology of a bunch of canned food such as herb powder is stirred together into minced meat, and then these minced meat are packed into a bamboo tube that has been processed and washed and then put into a special steamer to fix it, the fourth step is to put a cage of bamboo tube into a large steamer to steam, and after the lid is covered while it is hot, the last step is to apply a slime glue on the outside of the bamboo tube to make the bamboo tube waterproof and isolated from the air.

Although the process of this canned food is similar to that of the luncheon meat that Charles had eaten in his previous life, the crux of the matter lies in the herbs that were added to prevent various diseases when the army was fighting abroad.

The greasy, salty canned meat added a lot of herbs to the strange smell that made Charles marvel that the elves were indeed a peace-loving race, otherwise the elves who invented the canned food would have been killed more than 700 years ago, not more than 100 years ago.

Charles closed his eyes and fished out a random hot water pot from the hot can, and when he opened the can, he saw that he had won the lottery, and it was a canned chicken. Compared to canned pork, canned chicken doesn't taste as bad and has more soup in it.

Then he first used a spoon to mash a large ball of chicken in the can, then went to the cauldron next to him to fill the can with some cold rice, and then went to the table and chair next to him to prepare the dinner he had not seen for a long time tonight.

Faced with such a bamboo tube of canned bibimbap, Charles hypnotized himself that this was chicken soup and rice, while eating it with his eyes closed.

One part bitter and astringent, three parts grassy, with a little sweetness in the salty taste, one can let you taste the taste of life.
