It's dark.

The atmosphere inside the fortress of "Four Gold Coins" was jubilant, as if it was a festival.

When Miss Druid Shaun, who had returned as a bird, appeared, she was greeted by everyone. The Duke of Norma personally received her, praised her, and immediately offered to hold a ceremony for her to be honored, and that there would be a great reward.

Sean was noncommittal about this, did not show the slightest joy, but said lightly: "When I fled, I also saw that there were still others alive, maybe His Excellency the Duke should wait a few more days, maybe one or two more survivors." ”

The duke was very dissatisfied with her attitude, but because of the bad occasion, he complained to the staff afterwards. What "barbarians are barbarians", what "don't understand the etiquette of humility at all", what "druids are really uneducated"...... That's pretty much it.

But what she said, the Duke could not help but express his position, so he waited for several more days.

A few days later, one of the daredevils returned.

However, I never waited for anyone else.

The death squad, which was dominated by the volunteers, only survived in the end. One is a lizardman warrior with thick skin, and the other is a druid who can turn into a bird and fly out of battle.

Compared to the druid Shaun, who easily escaped as a bird, the lizardman warrior Yuneru's method of escaping is relatively "ugly". After cooperating with Sean to destroy the catapult, he chose to jump off the cliff directly after cooperating with Sean, entrusting his life and death to an unknown fate.

Luckily, he won the bet. Although he was seriously injured as a result, and it was only a few days later that he almost crawled back to the Four Gold Coin Fortress, he at least came back alive, and did not die in the Two Gold Coin Fortress like those unlucky comrades.

Duke Norma rewarded them heavily, gave them a large sum of money, held a special commendation meeting for them, and awarded them medals.

money, 10,000 gold coins per person, medals, can be used to heal serious injuries that are not fatal or crippled once a day.

Both of these rewards were very affordable, and it could be seen that the Duke had indeed thought carefully and prepared, and was not perfunctory.

At the commendation ceremony, the lizardman Yunero appeared elated, cheering and laughing frequently, and afterwards staggered with everyone and drank in the dark. But the druid Shaun is still that cold and desolate, and there is no obvious joy to be seen, which makes people wonder if she has a problem with her personality and has no joyful feelings?

It's okay if you're not happy if you win a battle, but you're not happy about getting rich......

Afterwards, the traversers asked curiously in the chat channel, and Sean replied: "In our country, if a group of soldiers went on a high-risk mission, they ended up winning at the expense of most of them. Whether it is a celebration banquet or a medal ceremony, we will never forget the souls who sacrificed for the republic, and we must not only mourn and admire them, but also all the honors and awards will definitely not be missing from them. But the Duke didn't even think of them at all, and didn't even mention a word! Such a thing is so disgusting that even if you get close to him, you feel that even the air is polluted, and it makes me unhappy even more than the haze!"

His statement was approved by everyone, and the travelers didn't expect this, but after being pointed out by Sean, everyone also criticized the Duke for being unkind and unruly.

Especially when Yunero heard about the pension standards for those who died in the war, it made everyone feel cold.

The daredevils who died in battle were given bereavement pensions according to the standard of ordinary casualties.

"This duke is not a man who can do great things!" Eric commented, "and a man like this has become the supreme commander of the Norma Line...... I look at this line of defense, I'm afraid it's going to end. ”

There is no need for him to predict, everyone has already seen that the Norma defense line is ...... It's really going to be finished.

Even if the death squad destroyed the original catapult, the Duke was not able to seize the opportunity to redeem the defeat, and instead of launching a counteroffensive to recapture the fallen fortress, he was seizing the time to transfer his assets, as if he was ready for the loss of the Norma Line.

You are not blind, if you don't know, you can't do it unless you do. When the Duke did such a thing, no one could see that the Norma Line could not be defended. Many people have started to think about their own future.

Almost a month later, the Thracians built giant catapults for the second time. This time they were unhindered, successfully completing the catapult and bombarding the forts with huge stones.

After two or three days of bombardment, the morale of the defenders in the two fortresses was almost on the verge of collapse, and finally on the night of the fourth day, the Duke had to evacuate the troops of the two fortresses, and surrendered the two fortresses.

At this point, everyone knows what to do.

The next aristocratic troops who withdrew were one after another, and if it weren't for the reinforcements sent by the federal leadership, I am afraid that they would not even be able to make up the troops needed to hold the defensive line. Even so, Duke Norma had to shrink his front, abandoning the gold coin defense that he had been holding on to for a long time, and retreating to the silver coin line.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Panda, or rather, with "Mr. Bear" played by Panda.

Because, this poor and brave orc powerhouse has died in that attack as a daredevil.

Even he did not leave a corpse.

Many poor and strong people end up like this, they are like meteors across the sky, leaving only a flickering light, but they are not able to enjoy the joy of victory and the fruits of victory.

All the glory and harvest have nothing to do with him, as well as those daredevils who died in battle.

This battle on the night of 0/2/77 in the continental calendar did not leave a deep impression on history.

However, the war that followed had a great impact on the entire history of war in the Western Continent.

For the first time in warfare, large siege weapons were used. In the face of the huge catapults, the Norma Line, which the Molai Business Federation has long been proud of, has not been able to function well. Except for the surprise attack of the death squad, which is a highlight, the performance of the Molai people is generally very clumsy.

Inside the castle's library, Kazune put down her pen and sighed softly.

That's the end of the most recent chapter.

"You see, if there's anything that needs to be changed. He handed the manuscript to Panda.

Panda took the manuscript, read it carefully, and said with satisfaction: "I think it's very good, there is nothing that needs to be revised." ”

Kazune nodded, took back the manuscript, and cast a spell that turned it into a heavy book and sent it to the "Historical Materials" section of the shelf.

"Next, are you going to go to the Norma Line?" he asked.

"Of course. Panda smiled, "But this time, I'm going to change my identity again." ”
