Chapter 249: Searching
"That... Is it really okay for us to leave them in that kind of place? β
After leaving the battlefield, Lixia asked a little bit of a word, I don't know if it was because she had been with the Rainbow Theater for a long time, or because she had made up her mind to leave the dark underground world, now she is more like she has changed back to Lixia's appearance than the cold-blooded silver, although she was not a real 'silver' at all from the beginning.
"Don't worry, the manpower of a squad on this kind of battlefield won't play any role at all, Nidhogg is also a relatively famous hunting regiment, this kind of common-sense information will not be unclear to them, and when they find out that they can't contact this team, they will naturally come to search, of course, if they don't want to find these members, it's another matter." Ike replied simply. The battle with the Hunter Squad was a complete one-sided one-sided affair that doomed them from the moment they were discovered. When fighting against powerful opponents, sneak attacks and ambushes are always the best magic weapons to win, and when these two elements are useless, and the opponent is several times stronger than themselves, the direction of the battle will naturally end in failure, if it weren't for Ike not killing them because of many considerations, they would have become a pile of corpses by now, along with those ambushed beasts. Of course, the most important thing is that the captain is very tempted to hand over the information he knows in exchange for his own life, although there may be a hidden danger of revenge later, but for Ike, who is not thirsty for killing, this result is not unacceptable, when the strength is stronger than the other party, the choice is always the majority of the party.
"But then again, the situation here is really not good, not only the regular army and the noble army, but also the mercenary hunting regiment, and maybe the army of the republic... I thought that as a remote Nolde Plateau, the aristocratic army should disdain and have no time to think about this kind of place before they came here first, but I didn't expect that those nobles' appetite was really big, and they didn't even have time to occupy and digest important areas, so they thought about starting with the whole country? . . It's ridiculous. Ike sneered, speaking with disdain
"How long does Ike think the aristocratic army will last?" Ling interjected on the side, and did not ask which side won, but chose the time that the more direct aristocratic army could maintain, and in Lixia's surprise, the two tacitly asked and answered, which couldn't help but make Lixia, as a spectator, feel a little emotional about the bond between Ike and Ling.
"I can't say for sure... Ike scratched his head, with a wry smile on his face, "Although that guy was shot in front of everyone, it is absolutely impossible for that old fox to be unprepared when he knows that someone is preparing to assassinate him." Moreover, I've seen a lot of miraculous realities lately, and if I want to say that he died like this, I don't think anyone will believe it. β
"Wait a minute." Lixia, who stopped the two of them, hurriedly spoke: "Why do you think so sure that the noble army will fail?" β
"It can't be said to be certain, but from the few existing information, it really doesn't look like the aristocratic army is winning on the surface." Ike replied, "Let's not talk about anything else, after occupying the imperial capital, there is no need for the emperor's righteousness to cancel the reputation of the regular army, even the hunting regiment thinks that the army of the iron and blood side is a regular army, so isn't the army of the nobility a rebel in the traditional sense?" Second, after the sudden start of the war, instead of taking advantage of the fact that their legions had not yet reacted and occupying important cities, they chose to attack from all sides, and even sent people from remote areas like Nolde, this kind of stupidity of dispersing troops, it is hard to imagine how inferior the intelligence of the leader of the noble army is, and because of this, he was beaten back by the regular army that had recovered from his senses. Thirdly, the Hunters are an irregular group anyway, just like Crossbell, even if they are to be used, they must be in the shadows. Such a blatant invitation to the hunting regiment to be stationed in the country will only make the people disgusted. And the last ... Ike pointed to the border area with the Republic, "This is also a border anyway, and in the absence of a superficial position for One-Eye, he has forced his troops into the border area regardless of the consequences of the Republic's possible invasion, and from this point, the style of the aristocratic army has doomed him to defeat Iron Will." After all, civil war and national war are two completely different concepts... Well, although the Republic is a little self-absorbed because of Crossbell's recent troubles, I don't think that with the stupid heads of the aristocratic army, it shouldn't be so far-reaching. β
"This..." Lixia was speechless, as Silver, she was not a naΓ―ve girl who did not know anything about the world, and indeed as Ike said, she did not even advertise herself as a regular army in her actions and words and deeds, and it was hard to imagine that they could win the civil war. Especially in the enemy or the iron-blooded prime minister who is recognized as tricky in any country.
"But where do we go from here?" Ling interjected at the right time, "The village of the Norde people has been relocated, has Sister Alyssa been contacted?" β
"No, the communication has been terminated since Alyssa came to Nolde, and now even our conductor can't communicate, it seems that most of this area has been blocked from communication." Ike replied, "It's just that from the information from the hunters just now, they must have migrated further north." β
"But even if you know such a general direction, it's quite difficult to find it... Lixia, who glanced at the north, replied, "If you want to hide from the war, then is there a place to hide?" Where are those boulders located? β
"There is no better place to live than a lakeside, if it is a mere place of refuge, and judging by the habits of the Nolde people, it seems that they are not a group of people who would choose to take refuge in caves." Ike replied.
"Because of faith?"
"It's not difficult to understand how a group of people who believe in the wind can be restrained by the chaos of war." Ike replied with a smile, "But before that, I want to go to the vicinity of the surveillance tower to take a look, the equipment that can affect the communication of the entire plateau should require a considerable amount of power, right?" Ling. β
"I don't know the specifics, but if you want to cover the entire plateau area by a simple area calculation method, even if you follow the model of the gospel, you need hardware facilities as big as two or three cubic moments." Ling thought for a while and then replied, "If it weren't as big as the power of gospel computing, the area might be larger, and if you want to hide such a large piece of iron, it is indeed the most suitable monitoring tower placed in a high place." But presumably it will also be firmly guarded by the aristocratic army. β
"That's right... This time, it's better to watch it from a distance. β
"Does Ike know something?"
"Well, northeast of the Nolde Plateau, I think it should be observable near that cliff on the border with the Republic." Ike replied without hesitation, "Let's start from this position for the time being." β
"Okayβ"
