"Master Edith......" Filin reminded in a low voice, "that's a loss of more than two hundred people, a big victory or something......

"More than two hundred—that's it," Northland Pearl interrupted, "what about the devils?" there were about fifty of them in the camp, including one high-ranking devil, and almost all of the First Army's casualties were caused by them. At first glance it may seem like fifty against two hundred, and we have suffered a great loss, but the main force of the enemy who died in front of the line was more than two thousand, to say the least—and this is only the most preliminary estimate, and it will take days for the devils who have been blown to pieces in the process of escaping to put together a complete number, am I right, Miss Sylvie?"

"Uh......" Sylvie hesitated, "That's pretty much what the Eye of Magic saw as an enemy corpse. ”

"Lady Agatha, I'm guessing you didn't command a war or even be involved in a major war four hundred years ago, right?" Edith looked at the Ice Witch.

The latter couldn't help but frown, "During the War of the Divine Will, fighting the devil was a compulsory course for the witches of the Federation. Although I used to be a researcher of the Mystery Society, I also fought enemies on the way to explore the ruins......"

"I'm talking about war. Edith leaned forward slightly, her expression aggressive.

"Edith—" Iron Axe stopped with a loud voice.

"Why?" Anna asked suddenly, her intervention drawing everyone's attention back, "Why do you think that? As far as I know, you are the head of the Knight in the Northlands, and you have never experienced a major war. ”

If someone else asked this, it would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, but when it came out of Anna's mouth, everyone felt surprisingly peaceful, and there was no sense of dispute at all.

Probably those pure and serious eyes, which make people unable to think of anything else.

Edith also reined in her momentum and stroked her chest and replied, "You're right, I really haven't experienced a real war, but there are people here who have experienced ......" She paused slightly, "Look at her expression, you can know what the result is." ”

She?

Everyone looked at the pearl of the Northland, and saw that in the corner of the long table, Phyllis, the representative of the Tachira side, was holding a cup of hot tea, the corners of her mouth were raised, and her eyes were full of smiles. Every once in a while, I would take a sip from my teacup, as if I were tasting some delicious drink. For the Taqira witches, this is not an ordinary sight - they have lost their sense of taste and eat only to survive, and it is almost impossible to show an expression of enjoyment.

That's when everyone noticed that the discussion had been so heated before, and Phyllis's attention was completely unfocused on the meeting - even now that she was the center of attention, she was still on the sidelines.

It wasn't until Wendy, who was next to her, gave her a gentle nudge that Phyllis came to her senses.

"Oh, where have you talked about?" the Witch of Divine Punishment coughed twice, "I was thinking about something very important, and I didn't pay attention to what you were saying. Why, does Her Highness have any questions for me?"

The scene of "......" was dumbfounded.

Obviously in a daze, but in front of everyone's face without changing color, it can be said that thinking about big things, it turns out that the ancient witches of four hundred years ago are not much different from today's people in some aspects.

"Poof. ”

I don't know who laughed first, but there was a burst of chuckles among the crowd, and the heavy atmosphere in the room suddenly dissipated a lot.

"Looks like I don't need to ask anymore. Anna shook her head amusedly.

Edith stood up and looked around, "It's the devil who loses more, and it's the devil who turns and flees, and we're still standing here, and the tower site is unharmed, so where can defeat begin?" Your Majesty once said to me, victory and defeat are often measured by whether or not they have achieved their set goals - obviously, they do not get the results they want. I can even say that the devil's commander made an extremely serious mistake. ”

"Wrong...... Mistake?" the participants were a little surprised, this night attack can be said to have considered every detail, it can be called an extremely successful ambush, and it does not look like there is a major mistake. The precise judgment of magic power is not enough, after all, their previous wars for nearly a thousand years have been carried out around this point, but it is very shocking that they can be so quick and effective in terms of firearms. You must know that the two ethnic groups have no communication at all, and the official confrontation is only the previous battle of Wangbeipo.

Although no one mentioned it, there was a slight fear of the devil in everyone's hearts - it was different from their impression of the enemy, even if the humans on the fertile plains were defeated and the witch empire was destroyed at his hands, but it was old history after all. History is something that will be distorted and faded with the passage of time, and it cannot be intuitively felt.

It wasn't until this battle broke out that everyone really touched a corner hidden under the veil of history.

They are no match for the evil beasts that roam the wilderness.

Aside from magic and strong body, it is also a "civilization" with a high degree of intelligence.

Even human ...... It's not as good as that.

When excuses such as "relying on the power and magic bestowed by the gods, without which how could humans be afraid of these barbarians" are torn apart, and when the proud minds of humans are also eclipsed, the impact is absolutely indescribable.

Along with this, there was suspicion of oneself, so that few people thought about the devil's side, so when they heard Edith say this, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity.

"What's wrong?" Anna asked subconsciously.

"It's too arrogant, Your Highness. Edith replied categorically, "Cause chaos, seize artillery positions, and cover them with armies...... If this was a knight order, or an ancient army, it would have collapsed long ago. But the First Army is not - they only see the change in weapons, but ignore the difference in people, and this is the biggest mistake made by the enemy!"

Everyone was stunned.

"From beginning to end, they have only sent in about fifty devils, which means that the new means of attack are not easy for the enemy to achieve, and they should be put together to exert their maximum power as much as possible. But how did they do it? Disperse the fifty devils into four areas—barracks, two-line trenches, and artillery positions. "The Devil Commander is by no means a fool, so the reason for this order is obvious: is it not a kind of arrogance to throw in a dozen devils to make human worms crushed?"

Anna vaguely understood the meaning of the other party's words, and she couldn't help but clench her fists, "If they didn't make this mistake...... If they treat humans as equal opponents......"

"Then we won't count on these fifty men to capture the camp at all, but will seek to destroy as many opponents as possible. Edith nodded in affirmation, "What if the enemy sends all the demons into the barracks, including a high-ranking devil, and the army does not move, and the spider demons leave as soon as they are attacked?"

Anna felt a chill run through her back.

Fifty for two hundred was due to the dispersion of the forces and the tug-of-war for the capture of positions to buy time for reinforcements to react. If the enemy had been rushing to kill from the beginning, treating high-level demons as one-time consumables, the number of casualties would have multiplied several times......

"Five hundred, one thousand...... Or two thousand? Of course, they will eventually be wiped out, and Tower One will be preserved, but it will be difficult to determine the outcome of that case. "It's a pity that arrogance caused them to miss this opportunity, and it also taught the First Army a lot - for example, the barracks had to be built underground, and the roof had to resist machine gun and mortar fire in addition to resisting stone needles. If it weren't for the enemy's mistakes, we wouldn't have learned this at such a small cost, could we?" she paused, "All in all, this war has just begun, colleagues. ”
