A few days had passed since the victory, but the officers in Port Louise were not in the shred of joy, for the sudden outbreak of mutiny and night raids by the Normans had in some way achieved the aim of preventing the Confederates of St. Orlando from attacking Fontainebleau. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"According to the information just counted, our army is still able to fight less than 2,000 people, and the number of wounded and dead has not been ascertained so far, not to mention the Koman Volunteer Army unit that ran away in the night battle, so far I have found a total of 600 people, including the wounded and the dead."

"What's even worse is the serious ammunition crisis caused by shelling and self-detonation, our gunpowder and lead can't even meet the needs of a low-intensity battle, and the average soldier only uses ten rounds of ammunition is really very dangerous."

"Then there is the problem of food, because the navy's cruisers have not returned, and our people don't know how to operate those fishing boats, let alone let the big soldiers go fishing, counting the wounded and everyone here, they can only continue to support for ten days, so the food crisis is also very serious."

Lorraine closed the statistics of the wounded and looked at the senior officials helplessly, "To sum up, our army has neither reliable combat effectiveness nor enough logistics materials, so it can be said that it is impossible to continue the offensive towards Fontainebleau. ”

After saying that, he gave a non-standard military salute and stood aside to observe, but Princess Josephine was drinking vigorously in bandages, Major General Philip was leaning back in his chair and smoking a cigarette, and the other officers were also listless.

"Hey, if you fight like this, the military department will definitely make trouble for me, and the highest military rank here is me, so the biggest black cauldron will definitely not be able to hide, Your Royal Highness Princess, what trouble will you have over there?"

“…… Privately led troops to attack but did not achieve victory, the guards lost more than half and the volunteers were scattered, there is no need to think about the consequences, let's discuss how to go home first. ”

The two supreme leaders sighed for a long time, no one could tell them that the losses of troops were so serious, and they had not yet been able to achieve victory, not to mention that the Coalition Council, which was already opposed to sending troops, would definitely make it impossible for them to eat and walk around.

"It's just...... Why hasn't there been any news from the Third Fleet until now? ”

Princess Josephine's question was not easy to answer at all, because of the well-known contradictions between the navy and the army, Rear Admiral Philip had no idea what the navy was doing, and the cruiser that left suddenly before the war did not even tell him what magic communication he had received, which was really nerve-wracking.

"It's a pity that the army's communications and navy are two systems, and the mages on both sides have generally not exchanged magic marks, so it is difficult to contact them directly unless they are archmages."

"It's really nerve-wracking, Lieutenant Lorraine, please continue to sort out the logistics supplies, and if you see the cavalry, let them come back quickly to report the situation."

"Yes, Your Highness Princess." After saluting, Lorraine hurried to the side of the logistics officer, although the situation was difficult, but they could still reap a lot of benefits, or how to say that the quartermaster could squeeze money out of the stone.

Soon the cavalry returned from outside, and after the night attack, many horses fled or died, and in the end only about twenty horses survived.

“… You didn't go out, don't you know, the road is full of Norman soldiers, they are all unclean guys with diarrhea, we saw 300 people in this group alone, and there are centaurs, you have never seen the miserable appearance of diarrhea, he actually begged us to kill him! ”

“… It didn't take long to find their command camp, and according to the captives, the night attack was entirely planned by the foolish centaurs who had been shot in the head, and the hapless officers managed to break free only to flee back to Fontainebleau. ”

The captain of the cavalry seemed to remember something, turned around and greeted, and soon a group of soldiers pushed a large wooden plank and walked over slowly, and Lorraine saw a lump (the injured wyvern lying on the plank is indeed a lump) Roshan was weak there, learning to meow, "Lieutenant Lorraine, this is the wyvern we found in the trenches, although he was injured and couldn't fly and was hungry all night, he didn't have much strength at all, oh yes, he also caught a high-ranking prisoner!" ”

Lorraine looked amused at an uncle in a strange uniform who insisted that he was a dragon knight of the Praetorian Guard, who was kneeling on the ground with a rifle pointed at him, and shouted, "You can't do this to me!" I am the Dragon Knight of His Majesty the Norman Emperor, Sir Reinhardt! I demand the most basic treatment of high-ranking officer captives! ”

I don't want to be so cruel in the future war, the treatment that senior officers can enjoy when they are captured, Lorraine has heard a certain bento officer say when he is mixed into the prisoner of war camp, but it is difficult to provide treatment or something at this time.

Lorraine waved his hand for the soldier to let the other man go, "Sir Reinhardt, I'm Lorraine, a logistics officer?" Lieutenant Taylor, I will convey your request to my superiors, and as for the treatment of the senior prisoners you requested, it is true that Port Louis cannot be treated after a terrible battle. ”

The dragon knight, who was not very good at his head, said as he walked: "You see, the houses are basically destroyed, and the few surviving ones are provided for the wounded, material storage and officers, and the vast majority of people have to set up tents, and the more troublesome thing is food, no one knows how to hunt sea fish, even if the Riberians are mostly professional soldiers, fishing techniques or something have long been forgotten, you can only dig wild vegetables together, cook and eat with biscuits, by the way, does your flying dragon need meat?" ”

Reinhardt nodded, "The Wyvern must be fed with fresh meat, and it will definitely be good for my mount if I can provide two ripe meat products, although it is the first time to ride it, but I am really sorry to be injured in the end of carrying me over most of the empire." ”

Lorraine suddenly had a bad premonition, and asked worriedly, "The amount of food that the flying dragon should not eat too much, right?" Not a real dragon after all......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the dragon knight: "Mr. Lieutenant! Do you know what you're talking about? Really, if the logistics officers in St. Orlando were all of your quality, your flying legion would have starved to death! Completely unconcerned about the officers and soldiers around him looking at him more and more ugly, Reinhardt was completely immersed in the education and guidance, and couldn't extricate himself, "Listen, even the Wyvern must consume at least one whole adult sheep every day, and it must be paired with other meat products to ensure the taste, if it is an adult cow or an underground losmon, it doesn't matter if you feed one." ”

"In addition, there is also a need for a professional logistics team to provide the dragon with basic massage, cleaning, disease examination, various training, anti-demon guidance, this is only what the wurms need, not to mention the advanced team that the dragon needs, and must also regularly provide expensive precious metals, expensive magic amplification potions, etc."

Although Lorraine said that he had gained knowledge and understood that the expensive thing of flying mounts was definitely not something he could afford now, he felt very unhappy when he saw Reinhardt's stinky face, and when he arrived at the command post, he asked the guards to go in to report, and he and the other soldiers directly looted the pieces on the dragon knight's body.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing! These are my personal belongings! ”

"I'm sorry, but for the safety of our superiors, we'll keep these things, and you won't need these rags anyway, will you?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but say that he searched out a bunch of bits and pieces from the other party, and put them in his pocket regardless of the other party's curses, maybe Lorraine would not be so shameless before the crossing, but it was a pity that he was with that group of degenerate logistics officers for only a few days, and he had learned to do this kind of thing, after all, it is a benefit to be able to get rich, and only if you can get a benefit can you have more life-saving capital.

Not long after he walked away, the whole world froze, and the familiar golden finger appeared in front of him again, this time the achievement made him cry and laugh a little, shameless: the bad guy who snatched the property of the prisoners of war for himself, and the achievement point was 10, increasing the chance of looting the property.

In addition, after a series of battles, Lorraine also obtained a new item, this is enchanted by unknown energy, taken from a magical trinket on the hapless Reinhardt, Morale Chapter: After several battles, it is impregnated with magical energy, and when worn, it can improve the morale and organization of its troops, and it comes with a death-free enchantment that can defend against death magic once a day.

The rewards look pretty good, at least a little bit of magic, but more importantly, it's important to find out that Goldfinger doesn't create rewards out of thin air, but enchants and changes them according to unknown laws by acquiring pre-existing items, which is where the Morale Badge and the Clear Magic Glove come from.

As for the less useful stat that you get every time you get an achievement, it seems that you have to develop a personal power to be effective, and you have to wait until the battle in the Fontainebleau area is over and you return to the St. Orlando Empire to have a chance to decipher the blueprints obtained from the Pirlofa industrial area to expand your power.

It's just that the history of the world after the time travel may be a little different, and Lorraine vaguely remembers that the battle here will not end until about the next time in the negotiations, and the empire will have to lose this area, but I really don't remember when the negotiations were over.

Lorraine, who was thinking alone with her head down, did not notice that more and more soldiers were gathering on the other side of the dock, and some shadows of ships gradually appeared in the distance, and many mages appeared in the sky.

"What do you see over there, it looks like a mage?"

"And there, I see a fleet approaching, who can telescope?"

"Get out of the way, I'll see...... It is the flag of the Kingdom of Riberia! It's our fleet! ”

The soldiers began to cheer, and the Third Fleet, which had disappeared for a long time, finally appeared, and although I don't know what they had been doing these days, they finally had a chance to go home.

It's just that after the battleship gradually approached the port, the cheers disappeared, and everyone looked at the broken battleship in front of them silently, most of the sails and decks were covered with traces of gunpowder and blood, and the scars caused by countless weapons were all over the ship, regardless of the rank of sailors, they all looked sluggish.

When Princess Josephine and Major General Philip arrived with their guards, they saw Hugh with a bandage, his left leg missing, and he was covered in scars. Admiral Harman, the old general couldn't see the heroic momentum at all, and all that was left here was tiredness, sadness, and helplessness.

"Your Excellency Admiral Hugh, what happened to the Third Fleet and why do you look ......"

“… As you can see, the all-powerful Third Fleet of Riberia, under my leadership, was defeated. ”

For a moment, everyone was silent, and at last Princess Josephine took the lead in leading Admiral Hugh away, and the others gradually dispersed, Lorraine looked at the ruined fleet in front of him and realized that only thirty ships had returned to Port Louise, except for the oversized ships, and there was no ship in the battleships of the Admiral's 'Earl'.

Holding a pair of documents that he didn't know what to do, he quietly came to the command post to bypass the guards who were not on duty, and Lorraine managed to sneak around the conference room and listen to Admiral Hugh's tired account of what happened to him.

“… After receiving the information, I took the Third Fleet to cruise in the open sea, and never found the Norman fleet, and after a long time, the fleet naturally became lax, and even I didn't care about this, who would have thought that the Norman barbarians would win against us who were the darlings of the sea. ”

“… Until that day, six black shadows appeared in the place where the sky and water intersected, and they kept approaching in the sky, and the ship mage didn't think it was the Norman flying cavalry at all, just to remind us that those creatures were hostile to us, all I could do was to fire an extended-range crossbow arrow, and after killing one in one blow at first, the rest of the bastards rushed down, and it wasn't until they got close to me that they found out that they were all manned cavalry controlled by unknown methods, and just one round of magic javelin projection allowed a heavy cruiser to be sunk, and at this time the angle of the crossbow arrow was not enough, The power of the mortar cannon was not enough, but they still let one escape. ”

“… By the time I had counted the losses and ordered a search, the enemy fleet had already rushed over and it was the most dangerous T-shaped formation! Their large warships lined up in a continuous battle line to attack the Third Fleet, and the six carriers that had gone to hell kept sending flying mounts to bombard us, and we suffered too heavy losses in the cruiser formation, and by the time the battle line was barely formed, the fleet had lost thirty cruisers and three large ships, including my 'Earl'! ”

“… Although we tried our best, those ships that were not suitable for artillery bombardment rushed up to fight, but unfortunately the losses were still too heavy, and the large battle ship detachments were sunk one by one or could not fight, and when I finally gave the order to retreat, I was frantically pursued by the enemy for a while, but I don't know why they gave up the total annihilation of the Third Fleet and returned home. ”

“… That's what I've been through, I really don't know how to explain to Her Majesty, the four major fleets of the whole country have lost a whole one in my hands, and only a little bit of it has come back, and only three of the big warships have come back, and I don't know if I can continue to use them. ”

It didn't matter what they said afterwards, Lorraine understood that the negotiations should be immediately fruitful, and the St. Orlando League, which had lost most of its fleet and army, must not have the confidence to guarantee the Fontainebleau area, even if the Norman Union army suffered heavy losses, they still had a navy to maintain their combat effectiveness, and they might be on their way to Port Louis.

Thinking of this, Lorraine hurriedly ran out, it was time to prepare something more for herself just in case.
