Chapter 471: The Salted Fish Army of the North and South

On the train to Greentown, Charles and Horatio sat at one end of the carriage, Mira, Diana, and Melidi sat at the other end, while Gawain and Mordred were thrown to the front line by Charles to experience life for a month.

Horatio looked at Charles with a wicked smile and asked, "What happened between you and Miss Diana, and why did she keep looking at you with a pig's head?"

Charles shook his head helplessly, not wanting to speak. He can't tell this guy that he was being tricked by his own sister.

What "tickle Diana for five minutes and then Diana confesses" or something like that is false, although Mira and Melida intuitively perceive the progress in Diana's relationship with Charles, they have never obtained substantial evidence against Diana.

So Mira opened a breakthrough from her brother's side, and got what she wanted to know in two sentences.

At that time, Charles and Diana, two essentially middle-aged bachelors, behaved calmly and calmly when talking about marriage, and they were quieter and more peaceful than discussing what to eat for dinner.

In October last year, when the two of them disguised themselves as budding businessmen were investigating the drought situation on the prairie, they chatted and talked about this aspect.

Charles, who was driving the carriage at that time, tentatively said to Diana, who was sitting next to him, "Why don't we get a match." ”

Diana turned her head and looked at Charles quietly for half a minute, then said, "If you're not afraid of bad luck, try it." ”

Then, after camping that day, Charles was taken away by the winter wolf when he went to the bathroom.

The next two ...... Except for a little more intimate small actions when getting along, there is no change.,A Zhengtai's body and a Lori's body.,There's no condition to do anything if you want to.。

But it's enough to be noticed by the people around them who are burning the fire of gossip.

It's just that the two parties don't want to make this matter public so early, mainly because of Diana's insistence.

In the knowledge city, where the more gorgeously dressed father came to visit his daughter, it could be rumored that his daughter was being taken care of, and Diana didn't have to think about it to know how many gossips would be spread after it spread.

When they first met, someone in the caravan said strange things about Diana behind their backs, and now Charles is considered famous, and Diana herself is still unknown on this side of the human world, and there will be more strange and bad things in this case than at the beginning.

Charles didn't answer Horatio's words, but asked him, "What is the difference between this batch of salted fish that landed recently and the previous batch?"

It's been two years since the war started in full swing, and the elves have always had the upper hand and fought a series of beautiful victories.

In the recent battle, the fish-man side occupied unprecedented land and seriously injured the enemy's commander, so that the elves had to retreat to save the living force, which was a victory for the fish-man in the eyes of the outside world.

In the Elven Court, this battle was also seen as a great defeat. Although the final retreat preserved the precious living force, it lost many villages and land that had been developed for many years.

Horatio saw Charles turn the topic to this, so he replied in passing: "You must already know that their army is divided into two major formations: the Southern Army and the Northern Army. ”

Charles nodded, the elven side had previously learned this information from the captives, Osm's northern army was responsible for fighting the elves on the coast, and the southern army was dedicated to defending against the deep sea monsters in the south.

It's just that the elves have fallen into a misconception, that is, they have always believed that Osme has the best army to fight against him.

Horatio said a little depressedly: "The actual situation is different from what we imagined, unlike those salted fish of the northern army that suffered successive defeats from the beginning, the salted fish of the southern army that have landed recently are the elite of the kingdom of Osme." ”

"What are their characteristics, and how effective are they?" asked Charles, who hadn't fought the Confederate fishmen yet.

Horatio thought for a moment and said, "Last time, I fought with the Southern Army, and I also captured a few, and I found that they are really different, and the ones in the south are obviously more difficult to deal with. ”

Over the rest of the day, Horatio carefully explains to Charles how the new Fish-Man Army is different.

Stationed in the harsh deep sea all year round, fighting with the ferocious deep-sea demonic beasts for a long time, these fish-man soldiers in the southern deep sea are extremely fierce.

In the battle with the ferocious deep-sea monsters, stratagem became a secondary factor, and in most cases, those monsters could only be killed through a fierce fight to the death.

This makes them adept at charging indomitably, even if their companions are constantly being killed by magic and bows and arrows, they can't stop them from charging.

When the elven army first engaged these Southern army fishmen, there were several dangerous situations when the front line was broken through.

And these southern army fishmen are not lacking in cunning, the masters of their army often disguise themselves as small soldiers to fight with the elves, and when the elves show a flaw in the defense line, they are immediately caught and launched a surprise attack, which often makes the masters in the elf army rescue not urgent, causing serious losses.

"They're so good at hiding themselves. Horatio said helplessly.

"The strong salted fish even pretended to be cut down and fell to the ground, and then his men began to retreat, and even broke out in the middle of the group as we pursued forward. ”

"If we hadn't kept the magic in sync, there would have been no fewer casualties. ”

Faced with a sudden ferocious enemy, Horatio had clearly suffered a loss.

Fortunately, last time, a "Eight Hundred Great Breaking Jie 100,000" was suddenly staged, and the fishmen of the Southern Army who were in full morale were suddenly blinded, and they who didn't know the details of the elves immediately shrank into the nearby large military camp to hold on.

Charles also chose to carry out operations behind enemy lines on the basis of a solid defensive line, and to collect as much information as possible on the enemy's vital forces while accumulating a small amount of the enemy's vital forces.

Elizabeth's plan was to fight an unprecedented war of annihilation at the right time in a few years.

Now it seems that fortunately, the previous successive victories forced the elite troops of the fish-men out, otherwise such a powerful enemy suddenly appeared in that big battle, and the elves would be killed back.

Towards noon, the footsteps of a dragon could be heard in the distance, and another train passed by the nearby railway.

As the two cars met, Charles heard a hissing sound from outside the lathe.

He turned his head to look out the window and saw several carts transporting livestock speeding past him, and in the carts were snow-white unicorns.

"'Forest Guards', they're also going to the front line?" Horatio looked at Charles in surprise, this forest light cavalry that was not well-known on the continent was actually an important barrier for the elves to defend against humans, and they would not be easily mobilized in the past.

"Why haven't I heard of it before?" asked Horatio, who could have known about such a massive transfer given his position in the military.

As a result, Charles glanced at him and said, "I'm not afraid that you will eat the unicorn's waist." ”

Horatio rolled his eyes at Charles and said, "Your Highness, this knowledge is too early for you. ”
