"What do you think of now, Mr. John?" George VI panicked and asked John about his strategy, he was originally a man of great ambition and talent, but now he was slapped on the head by Allen, and immediately wandered around like a brainless fly.
John's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said to George VI: "Your Majesty, don't be nervous, don't you see that our thousand heavily armed spearmen have already crossed the river." No matter how powerful the other party is, as long as the beachhead is not captured, then we must be the victorious. Your Majesty, continue to increase your troops. ”
True, despite the extremely high combat effectiveness of Allen's soldiers, it will take a while to deal with George VI's more than a thousand mounted spearmen. And this time was just over the time when George VI's fourth army of heavily armed spearmen crossed the Lo River. When George VI's 4th Heavy Spearmen joined the battle, the entire battlefield was immediately stabilized, and the retreating front ceased to retreat.
"It seems that you haven't grabbed the other party's position, so what should you do now? Are you going to fight a war of attrition?" LeBlanc said lightly.
Alan hadn't had the heart to lecture LeBlanc about her for a long time, and now she was completely laissez-faire. Alan shrugged his shoulders and said, "It was expected for a long time. Otherwise, would I have sent only so many people into battle?"
"Oh? What's your back?" LeBlanc asked curiously.
Alan glanced at LeBlanc and said angrily, "I won't tell you!"
"You!" LeBlanc just wanted to roar. But the next moment was attracted by the next development.
Just as the fifth group of heavily armed spearmen was about to cross the Luo River, several puffs of black smoke suddenly rose from the upper reaches and quickly drifted downstream.
It didn't take long. Everyone clearly saw that the smoke was coming out of more than a dozen burning fireboats!
"Stop!" George VI gave the order at the first time, knowing that once the fireship was loaded onto the pontoon, the entire pontoon bridge would have to be destroyed. And once the pontoon bridge is destroyed, then the three thousand heavily armed spearmen on the other side of the river will be finished.
But it was too late, and more than a dozen fireboats followed the current and crashed into the pontoon bridge as fast as possible. Even if some soldiers tried to hold the fireboat against it with their spears, the inertia of the fireboat with hundreds of kilograms pushed the soldiers off the pontoon. Fell into the Luo River.
Soon, the pontoon bridge, which had been built with wooden planks, was burned by the fireboat. The soldiers who were originally on the pontoon. Unable to resist the smoke of the fire, they all screamed and jumped into the river, thinking that as long as they jumped into the Luo River, they could extinguish the flames on their bodies. They thought they would be able to escape by jumping into the Luo River.
But. Although they escaped the damage of the flames, the equipment weighing more than ten kilograms dragged them straight to the bottom of the water, even if they struggled desperately, even if they were familiar with the nature of the water, they were all helplessly buried at the bottom of the peaceful Luo River.
"Lord Duke, I'm back." Guy hurried back from upstream.
Alan patted Guy on the shoulder and said with satisfaction: "Thank you, Sir Guy, it's not easy to prepare all this in such a short time."
"Thank you, Lord Duke, for the compliment. That's just a matter of duty. "Guy is very serious when he gets down to business, and he looks at it with a straight face. But that's what Alan admires most about him. As the current military governor of the Duchy of Essis. Guy's steady performance also reassured Alan that he was given the task.
"So, what can you do?" Alan turned his head and looked in the direction of George VI with interest.
George VI's heavily armed spearmen, who were fighting on the beachhead at this time, saw that their rear roads were cut off, and their morale plummeted, and under the siege of Augustus and Leonardo, the casualties were increasing.
George VI looked at the burning pontoon and shook his fist in indignation, snarling in his mouth. "Damn Alan Ouranos, I'm going to kill you! I will cut off your head and hang it on the gates of Tulga!"
John was relieved and said, "Your Majesty is angry."
George VI shook his head and said to John: "Mr. John, now that we have suffered a setback in our first battle, this is a great blow to the morale of our army. I am afraid that this war will be much more difficult than expected. ”
John suddenly smiled mysteriously, smiled at George VI, and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that I am still a magician?"
George VI soon understood John's implication and asked incredulously, "Is there a way for Mr. Fei to turn defeat into victory?"
John saluted George VI and said, "Please enjoy this scene, the Dance of the Stars, Your Majesty."
With that, John took two steps forward and stood at the top of the slope, holding out his hands in a hug of the sky, while muttering a mysterious incantation.
In the afternoon, the sky was still daylight, but as if there was an illusion, the whole sky darkened slightly, and then immediately returned to normal.
LeBlanc, who is also a magician, did not miss this change, as if sensing something, and quietly closed his eyes. It didn't take long to look up at the sky and take a closer look.
"What are you doing?" Alan looked at LeBlan's movements suspiciously, not knowing why.
LeBlanc gestured to the sky. Alan then looked up at the sky.
"Isn't it nothing?" Alan subconsciously complained, but the next moment he grew his mouth and was shocked.
Although the sky was still so bright, the sun's rays were visibly affected, as if covered with a thin veil, although it was still so bright, but it was not dazzling at all. The stars that were supposed to be hidden during the day appeared faintly in the sky one by one.
"In ...... It's moving!" Alan said distractedly.
Although Eren is different from the barbarians of this world, he knows that stars are actually stars and can move. But it's not that exaggerated. I saw that the stars in the sky continued to move in the sky along the mysterious trajectory.
Here John finally stopped his mysterious chatter and smiled with satisfaction as he watched the moving stars in the sky. The right hand stretched out, and a light that was barely visible to the naked eye descended from the sky into John's hand. It didn't take long for it to seem like enough starlight had been accumulated. John raised his right hand and slammed it at the burning pontoon.
A magical scene soon happened in front of everyone's eyes. The burning pontoon bridge seemed to meet water after John's wave, and the fire began to decrease little by little.
Soon, starting from the bridge on George VI's side, the fire was magically extinguished, and the place where it was burned by the flames seemed to be covered with a crystalline film. The pontoon bridge, which was supposed to fall apart, was re-maintained in the space of these few breaths.
"Your Majesty, please continue."
George VI only woke up from shock when he heard John's faint words, and said excitedly: "Sir, the magician is really amazing! What was that, it was a miracle! Can you teach me magic?"
John looked at George VI, who had completely forgotten the real thing, and couldn't help but exclaim in an aggravated tone: "Your Majesty! Please continue!"
After being drunk by John like this, George VI finally remembered what was going on and hurriedly ordered to continue crossing the river.
