Chapter 60: Triumph

"The knight squad has been killed?" Alfred sat down in his chair in despair, "Those people aren't dead?" ”

"Not only that, but just a few minutes ago, new news was learned, and there was already silence of the mortar unit in the northern part of the Central Defense Zone." Adjutant Longfellow said with a blank face, "It seems that this team has cut through the northern defense line and infiltrated the mortar team's station." ”

"Where's Erich?" Alfred hurriedly asked, "Did Your Excellency Erich send a contact?" ”

Longfellow was silent.

Of course, there was contact, and the mortar commander Erich scolded Alfred in the communication, asking him why he had allowed the enemy team to penetrate the front line when he had already given fire support, causing casualties to the precious artillery boys.

If a captured mortar shell had landed from above Orin in the battle of tomorrow, Erich would have sworn that he would have scolded Alfred in front of Bernifaxiu and scolded all eighteen generations of his ancestors to the point of blood.

Of course, there was no need to repeat these expletives to Alfred.

Adjutant Longfellow thought for a moment and replied:

"His Excellency Erich replied: Don't be nervous, you're okay like this, you're playing well."

Alfred:..................

"Don't lie to me." He smiled wryly, "That old man must have scolded me several times." ”

"The point now is that this team that has broken into the mortar garrison area must be dealt with, otherwise the mortar unit will suffer more casualties." Adjutant Longfellow changed the subject and got down to business.

"However, the only remaining manpower of the northern defense line is already stretched to maintain the defense line itself from being infiltrated by follow-up forces." Alfred said calmly, "Report back to the top." ”

"It seems that we can't solve the trouble we have caused."

Soon an order came from His Majesty Bernifascius ordering Alfred, the commander of the Northern Front, to be dismissed on the spot and replaced by Joel, the king's sword-guard. Viscount Grafford took over.

"It's Joel's guy." Alfred lay down in the command chair with his head down, his expression a little discouraged, "It's a pity, the last thing I want to see is this guy." ”

"But even if Joel takes my place, I can't think of it enough to deal with that tricky elite team, right?" He laughed at himself in bitterness, "I'll just wait to see the distressed and irritated look on Joel's face." ”

As soon as the words fell, new news came from the Communications Officer:

The squad that had infiltrated the mortar zone returned from the same route and left the battlefield.

Alfred:........................

"Shit!" In a fit of rage, he tore the entire command table over.

——————

The men of the Blue Sword returned with a full load of captured mortars and ammunition boxes.

Although they returned with a full load, they didn't have anything in their hands - everything was piled up on the Fire Island.

The reason for the temporary retreat was because Aske did not want to continue the troubles and become the target of the crusaders.

Although they have become the target of the Crusader Northern Front...... On the way back, the other knight squads basically pretended not to see the Azure Sword when they saw it, and just avoided these killing gods from a distance.

Therefore, everyone was happy to return to the city safely, and the trip was already fruitful.

Arriving at the entrance of the tunnel, Aske asked the girls to carry their things out of the Hearthfire Island, and then sent Medea into the tunnel to inform the defenders to come out and carry things.

"Everybody need to be tired!" Asker encouraged everyone and said, "Pretend that we brought back all these military supplies ourselves!" ”

Everyone was speechless, such a large number of boxes were piled up here, who would believe it? We're not Hercules!

Even so, the girls listened to Asker's words, and sat on the floor or on the box casually, with an expression of "I'm too hard, I'm stressed".

When the defenders in the tunnel rushed out, they saw mortars and shell boxes stacked neatly on the ground, and their eyes were about to fall out.

So much!

Did you rob the Crusaders' logistics or what? How many artillery units will have to be killed!

Without further ado, the defenders hurriedly informed them one by one, and soon the sheriff Quintus was also alarmed.

Looking at the piles of military supplies in the fortress, Quintus couldn't help but change his color.

In the past, the Imperial Orthodox Church has been strictly controlling the industrial development and arms trade in Olympia, resulting in only a rather old batch of mortars and rocket launchers in Olympian City warehouses today, and most of them are used to fight back.

With this replenishment of arms and ammunition, it means that even ordinary people can join the battle, and those mages who have been fighting for more than ten hours in a row can also have a good rest.

"God above, you are the savior of Olympia!" Rao has always been self-conscious, and at this time, he couldn't help but hold Asker's hand, and shook it vigorously with emotion.

"It's all right, it's a matter of being hired, being faithful." Asker pulled his hand out of his grip, "After all, we're professional mercenaries. ”

Sheila watched her uncle lose her temper from the side, and couldn't help but want to laugh and be moved.

"You're the last to come back. Of course, it is also the most outstanding group of military achievements. In the upward elevator, Quintus praised and praised everyone, and even the girls were a little embarrassed.

"What are the other teams doing?" Aske asked.

"It's not ideal." Quintus shook his head, "The Crusaders are clearly already on guard against our out-of-town attacks, they have laid out heavy defensive lines in the north, northeast, and northwest, and in the end we have only broken through the northern defenses. ”

"Judging from the specific time, it should be because you have greatly consumed the troops of the northern defense line, so that the subsequent mercenaries can penetrate it. As such, you are still the mercenary unit that has spent the longest time in the Crusader artillery garrison and has the greatest effect on the destruction of siege positions. ”

"Others either suffered too many casualties or because they found that they could not move on, so they chose to leave the battlefield early." Quintus sighed, "Only the Spartans led by Rudasius swam through the Northern Front to the northwest and also killed some artillery enemies. ”

"But I didn't bring anything with me."

"I understand." Asker nodded and said, "The custom of the Spartans is to give priority to bringing back the corpses of their compatriots who died in battle. ”

"Yes." "They were having a funeral in the arena on the top floor, and the Crusaders were sending something around noon, which caused the whole city to be very emotionally unstable. ”

"After the funeral, my father hopes to hold a celebration tour to commemorate your victory, so that the citizens who have the same hatred and hatred will have an outlet."

"You said the Crusaders sent something?" Aske asked, "What is it?" ”

Quintus visibly hesitated, a faint haze creeping up his cheeks.

"Human heads." Eventually, he replied, "A thousand heads, all citizens of Thessaloniki." ”
