Five days later—

"Is it Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?"

"Yes, this is the news that the command has just received, and the specific number is still being verified, but it should be at least more than six hundred. ”

"The Stormhowling garrison has been contained, and they should be relocated overland to Neverwinter after resting. ”

"No, that's what we're supposed to do. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, please have a good rest. ”

After Edith finished her report, she hung up the microphone steadily.

As the highest-level means of communication at present, the hand-cranked telephone has become an indispensable equipment for the staff, but due to the limitation of transmission distance, the only thing that can directly connect to the cage mountain heights is the air knight camp outside Thorn Town.

As soon as she turned around, she saw the third brother with a surprised face, Lance Kant.

"What's the matter?"

Unlike her second brother Cole, Edith used her connections to directly transfer Lance, who had passed the primary education assessment, to the General Staff - considering that the third brother was more out-of-the-box, she thought it would be more appropriate for her to look at it.

Of course, this also makes it easier for her to appreciate the pain of the other party when they encounter frustration up close.

"Ah...... No, it's nothing, I'm just a little surprised, it turns out that you will also be respectful to people, eldest sister. Lance stepped forward with a stack of papers, "You've never been so polite when you talked to your father before. ”

"I thought that when you were an adult, your brain volume would increase a little bit. Edith said disapprovingly, "I say that to my father, because my father won't do anything to me, but Tilly Wimbledon is the sister of His Majesty Roland, and if she mentions my rudeness in front of her brother, what do you think will happen to the Kant family?"

"But I always feel that you are ...... to Your Majesty himself It's not so serious......"

"Because Your Majesty is male, occasionally taking the initiative can work wonders. ”

"Uh...... I don't quite understand ......"

"The human heart is the highest state of strategy, and it's normal if you don't understand it," Edith shrugged, "Even if you have a thousand skills, you still can't be the ultimate victor if you don't understand the human heart." ”

"Sister, can you teach me?" asked Lance expectantly.

"Of course," Edith glanced at him with interest, "but anything is most effective than mere teaching, and Cole does a very good job of it, for example. How, do you want to try it?"

Langston felt a chill rush over his heart, thinking of his brother's appearance at home, and he swallowed, "That...... I'll just wait. ”

Northland Pearl retracted her gaze, "You decide. ”

Lance, who was granted amnesty, quickly changed the subject, "By the way, did you call His Highness to report the news of the safe arrival of the refugees?"

Edith nodded, "After all, Her Highness Tilly has explained this matter to the staff when she comes back, of course, you have to inform her as soon as possible." ”

The entire rescue operation can be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations, and the Sky Knight not only rushed to the battlefield 200 kilometers away in just over an hour, saving a large number of refugees, but also thwarted the devil's tricks in one fell swoop.

True, this is no ordinary hunt. According to the clues obtained afterwards, the refugees were probably just bait thrown by the enemy, and the real fatal blow was hidden behind the pursuing team.

What if the First Army did send a rescue team to meet them?

Due to the bad weather and long distances, if you want to get there quickly, you have to travel light and day and night. And the devil, in order to prolong the pursuit time as much as possible, is completely at ease. When the two sides collide together, the rescue team will find that they are not only facing an enemy force no larger than their own, but also having to resist an attack from the dinosaurs.

Even if they retreated immediately, they would have to trek nearly 100 kilometers in the wind and snow, and how many people would eventually be able to escape?

This was the devil's first test of the total contraction of the First Army.

Even if the latter had paid no attention to the refugees, or had not even noticed the hunt north of Howling Castle, there would have been nothing to lose to the devil.

They have probably sensed that there is a fundamental difference between the Grey Castle and the Wolfheart and the Eternal Winter, and that even if they kill as many locals as they do, it will not have any effect on the outcome of the Battle of the Divine Will, and that each rescue team eliminated will weaken the strength of the human race by one more point.

But the presence of the Sky Knight caught the ambush off guard.

Everything was a bit like the shelling of the North Slope a year earlier, in which the enemy and the First Army each made their own judgments in their favor, but the results were very different.

Even if Tilly hadn't spotted another enemy army lurking in the rear, the tide of the battle wouldn't have changed.

In the end, the flight team returned safely, and the fugitive refugees were lucky enough to escape, which can be called a big victory.

"The Sky Knight is really powerful......," Lance sighed, "Not only did they kill dozens of mad demons, but they also retreated from all sides, even if it was the Saint Blessing Army of the Federation in the past, it would be difficult for them to do this, right?"

"yes, it's remarkable. ”

With a sigh of relief, Edith leaned her legs on the table and leaned back in her chair for a moment.

Lance was stunned, "You seem to be ...... Not happy?"

"I can't say I'm unhappy, I just think it's ...... The General Staff will soon be reduced to an ornament. ”

"Huh?" the third brother's eyes widened.

"Four Skyfire can force off more than two hundred devils, what if the First Army has a hundred, or even a thousand, Skyfire?" Edith smiled, "Then just one word, send the Sky Knights wherever there is an enemy." Stratagem and calculation will become meaningless, and anyone would have said in the previous sentence, if it comes to this point, what is the staff if it is not a decoration?"

In fact, when she first saw this free-flying machine, she was already aware of its huge military potential, and what she talked about most with Roland after that was about the use of air knights. She even set up a special team within the staff group to study air force tactics in order to make the most of these new weapons.

However, when it did shine in the first battle, the Northland Pearl felt a trace of regret.

Because the advantages of the Sky Knight are too obvious, the importance of strategy has decreased. In the days of knighthood, there was a lot of attention to the arrangement of troops and tactics, but now it is undoubtedly much simpler—because the air force has the advantage of visibility, it can make the battlefield information more transparent, and at the same time, it is extremely mobile, enough to block the entire area of engagement.

In other words, as long as you can occupy the sky, you can completely control the enemy's every move, while the enemy's situation is completely opposite, facing the situation is almost pitch black, and it is difficult to respond effectively except for passive attacks.

Not to mention that His Majesty also revealed that the Skyfire was only just starting, which was equivalent to a flintlock pistol compared to the current Mark 1.

"In that case...... We'll go back to the City of Eternal Night," Lance whispered.

"I'm afraid it's too late," Edith chuckled, "I'm afraid I've offended a lot of people to sit in this seat." Do you think those people will give me the rest of my life?"

Of course, she knew that if Roland was in power, nothing would have happened, but she never dared to calculate her fate according to the worst possible situation, because that malicious rhetoric could always hurt others.

"I'll ...... Protect yours. Lance bit his lip and said.

"What do you rely on? Is it just your current position and ability? If you can't climb to a high position, it's better to say less empty talk. She felt a rush of happiness, "Otherwise, it will only be worse, like those enemies in front of you, and treat me—"

Edith suddenly shut her mouth.

Footsteps rang out outside the room, and soon Philin Silter pushed the door open and walked in.

"My lord, so you are here......"

"What, there's new information coming?"

"It would be nice if it was," Dawn Dawn said with a headache, "I just checked the list of material needs for the Knight Training Camp in the Sky, and I'm afraid the logistics plan will have to be rearranged in the near future." ”

"Oh?"

"You may not know that they have used up nearly 10,000 rounds of ammunition in the past few days, and this is not counting the consumption during the official sortie. "And there are only twenty or thirty of those cadets, and this demand is already worth the cost of ten classes of the musket battalion! Not to mention the reserves of fuel and aircraft parts, I think if their number is doubled several times, how can the logistics be taken care of...... Uh, sir?"

Lance suddenly found that the laziness in his sister had been swept away.

Edith rose from her seat and replied lightly, "It's up to you to take the lead in this work, and you have to ensure the supply of the Sky Knights no matter what." Then she looked at Lance, "What are you doing there?"

"Yes?" the latter didn't come back to his senses for a moment.

"Come with me to the intelligence room, it's far from time to rest. Edith lifted her hair cleanly and turned to walk out of the house.
