In the middle of the night, the cold wind that swooped down from the sky was bitterly cold, and dozens of teams of night watchmen wrapped in tight armor and carried torches as they walked back and forth through the hard walls.

Inside the fortress, in the large open space to the right of the main tent, several beams of light as blue as torches looked very clear in the quiet moonlight. Thirty feet above the clearing, a slowly rotating silver gear stretched out of the void, engraved with hundreds of brilliant blue runes on its surface, constantly swallowing beams of light, teleporting all kinds of supplies from the rear into the barracks.

Major General Casper and some of his officers stood at the edge of the clearing, watching boxes slowly descend to the ground, while the soldiers in charge of logistics would take a careful count of them.

When the last box of supplies entered the clearing, several eye-catching sparks bloomed from the middle of the silver gear, accompanied by a gradually fading beam, projecting a white image, from blur to clear in a short time, Archon Isabel appeared in front of them as if she were there, and after a second of silence, she said lightly:

"General, this batch of supplies includes plenty of water, food, warm clothing, magic stones, and a small number of replacement weapons, if you need anything, please let us know as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you for your preparation, Honorable Consul. The commander gave a military salute to the image, then raised his head and said without squinting:

"After two short battles, our army captured one of the suspected evil gods, although the combat power of the opponent's main force is not yet known, judging from the appearance of these fish that slipped through the net, they are only Cheng dù who can be hit hard. ”

The archon's expression remained unchanged, and he maintained an unfazed demeanor. Meticulously said:

"General. Although I didn't have the intention of ruining the fun. I still have to tell you that your victory is not worth mentioning compared to the weight of the scales that will control this war. ”

"So......" Major General Casper continued to ask, neither humbly nor arrogantly, "as the supreme commander of this army, I think I have the right to know the situation in the upper realm. ”

"Of course, it's not just you, it's everyone here who is qualified to know. Isabel chucked her jaws lightly, and at the same time, a haze flashed over her well-maintained face. The tone was a little cold:

"His Majesty was caught in a bitter battle, General Edmund's real body was destroyed and severely damaged, and he was on the verge of death, and General Corally ...... He has been martyred. ”

With a plop, the wooden box full of food fell straight to the ground, and a logistics soldier carrying supplies froze in place, his facial features twisted with panic and shock, and he stood stupidly in place at a loss.

"Take him away. Casper tilted his head indifferently and said to the warlord gendarmes beside him.

"Yes. ”

The two military policemen hurriedly stepped forward and dragged the logistician directly from the ground. All the way to the dust, running directly towards the camp tent of the army doctor.

"General Corali died for his country. This is the supreme glory. ”

The commander took a deep breath, solemnly removed his helmet, held it in his right hand, pressed his left fist against his chest, and whispered softly as if praying:

"May her Heroic Spirit be with the Eternal Fire. ”

"May her Heroic Spirit be with the Eternal Fire. ”

In the open space, all the officers took off their helmets at the same time, silently closed their eyes, and paid high tribute to the deceased general with the highest standard of etiquette.

After the ceremony, the consul was the first to break the silence:

"There is only so much I know, the chaos in the upper realm has passed the imagination, we have even lost contact with His Majesty the Emperor for a time, and even now, we can only receive vague words......"

"Don't you have the opponent's basic information?" Hearing this, Captain Olylia frowned at his heroic beauty.

"Unfortunately, all we can see now is an endless stream of amorphous pieces of meat. Speaking of this, Isabel seemed to see the unforgettable scene again, and showed a disgusting expression.

"Amorphous ...... Pieces of meat......" Major General Casper narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

"That's it, looking forward to your next victory. ”

The Archon bowed slightly, and at the same time, her image slowly blurred, and the light on the silver gears faded until it disappeared.

Major General Casper watched the gear retract the last ray of light, and then stretched out his left hand, generated a suction force out of thin air, pulled it into his hand, and said lightly:

"Go back and continue our meeting. ”

"Looks like the plan is about to change. ”

The female commander put on her helmet again, straightened her hand slightly, and followed in the commander's footsteps.

...... yes, we have to change our strategy.

After hearing Olylia's voice, Deputy Commander Casper thought so.

In his view, the more modern the mode of warfare, the smaller the role of stratagem and surprise attacks, and small countries may be able to gain a certain advantage by relying on spy warfare and conspiracy, but the balance of victory is still tilted towards the side with strong national strength.

Logically speaking, when the level of national strength and technology reaches the level of Rosevia, it is difficult to offset the superiority by relying on bravery and famous generals, and the decisive factor in determining the outcome of a war has been biased towards the comparison of comprehensive national strength.

Judging from the current understanding of the gap between the enemy and us, there is no generational difference between the armies and weapons of the two sides, and perhaps the enemy still has a certain advantage.

However, Rossevia itself has a huge disadvantage -- that is, a huge reserve of technology and personnel, because of its small scale, it cannot be effectively fed back to the military industry, and it is difficult to form a powerful combat force.

Relying on the technology developed by the magic stone, it is also bottlenecked due to the scarcity of the magic stone, even if several generations of emperors have diligently developed the outside world, the energy obtained is still a drop in the bucket.

In addition to the strategic reserves, the magic stone resources obtained each year are already stretched thin for technological development, and it is whimsical to develop civilian technology and even form a large-scale industry.

This is also the reason why the cutting-edge technology of the empire has been able to reach the sky and the earth, but the living standards of the citizens have not improved significantly, and they are even using candles for lighting, cattle and horses to plow the land, and charcoal for heating.

Now that the battle situation in the upper realm is becoming stalemate, it proves that the intruder and Rosevia's peak combat power is almost evenly matched, and under this general situation, its regular army must prepare for the worst.

Thinking about it, our commander suddenly let out a long sigh and said with a sad expression: "Alas...... If you have enough magic stones, why do you need to be so troublesome in fighting. ”

After hearing his words, the officers accompanying him were all confused, there were a lot of magic stones in the army, right? Also, when did the magic stones become so important?

Hehe, it's all mediocre.

Major General Ebenezer looked around mockingly, and said sarcastically to himself - as Casper's best friend, of course he had some knowledge.

In fact, to think of so much, Casper Beckwell is already worthy of a generation.

However, after all, due to the limitations of the times, he could not imagine how huge a country like Rossevia, with a population of 600 million, with huge technological reserves, and almost unlimited raw material production and product dumping sites, would be transformed into a huge force once it successfully completed industrialization.
