Chapter VII: Officers and Intelligence
"In other words, the Imperial Army carried out a torture in the city of Monsa, right?"
"Yes, the Sixth Division of the Emperor ** carried out a brutal massacre in the city of Monsa, and the Emperor ** came very quickly, far exceeding our expectations, and when the enemy completed the encirclement, there were still more than 100,000 in the city...... Perhaps more soldiers and civilians did not have time to retreat. β
"In other words, the Imperial Army carried out an organized and systematic campaign of torture, is that your judgment?
"Yes. β
"How did you know the number of Emperor **?"
"I caught an enemy soldier and tortured him about what he learned from his mouth. β
"How did you get out?"
"I came out with a weapon behind my back and my friend Griner. β
"You're still carrying a person?"
"Yes, my friend Griner, whose leg was sprained while hiding from the Emperor, was carried back from Monsa. β
"It's a full 30 kilometers from Monsa to here, and you have to fight in the meantime, how did you do that?"
"Since I was a child, I have been hunting in the mountains with my parents, and my physical strength is relatively good. β
"Your parents are Orion?"
"No, he is a teacher at the Monsa Municipal Higher Secondary School, who is responsible for the military education and training of students. β
"Can you read military maps?"
"I can understand it, and there is a pair hanging in the bedroom at home. β
"That's great, then can you mark the general route of the emperor's march from the map?"
"No problem. β
This is a conversation that takes place in the already empty city defense headquarters in the city of Lando Barsa.
It was Teresa who answered, and it was Lilia who asked the question.
So what is Carl doing now?
"Adjutant, bring me my map. β
"Yes!"
Hearing Lilia's words, Carl hurriedly opened the map that had been placed aside and spread it out in front of Lilia and Teresa.
That's right, Carl now takes on the role of Lilia's lieutenant.
"To the west, to here, to the south, to this place. To the east I don't know. I came back from the west through the mountains to the south. β
After marking the map, Teresa marked the map from memory and explained what she had passed on the road. [[[CP|W:486|H:301|A:L|U:http://file1.qidian.com/chapters/201311/11/3024026635197908502521250222016.jpg]]]
"In three directions, from the city of Monsa to the south, to the east, and to the west, there were scattered enemy soldiers in small groups, scouting and advancing, and looting and slaughtering the villages and towns in their path. β
"Smack!" the pen in Lilia's hand broke.
"Are you alright?" asked Teresa, the female 'officer' beside her with an unusually gloomy face
"It's okay, you go on. Did the Emperor's troops dispatch their chariots?" Lilia said in a deep voice
"No, there was no trace of the chariot along the way. β
Recall that Teresa gives Lilia a negative answer.
"I see, thank you for the information, you can go down. β
"Thank you, but I want to ask, you're the commander of the city defense here, right?"
Looking at the woman in front of her, who was not a few years older than herself, wearing a strange military uniform, Teresa asked
"No, I'm not. Lilia, lying on the map, replied
"yes, it's a shame. Teresa shook her head regretfully, picked up her rifle, and left the headquarters.
Teresa was gone, but Lilia kept her hands on the table, her head not raised, and she didn't say a word.
"Lilia?"
Sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room, Carl carefully walked up to Lilia's side, trying to see Lilia's expression clearly, which didn't matter, but it frightened Carl!
That's a look that kills.
Lieutenant Colonel Rostoka, who was lying on the table, was like an enraged snow leopard at this time. His eyes shot a sharp, shuddering gaze. The two golden pupils looked at the several arrows on the map that represented the direction of the emperor's attack, and they didn't know what they wanted to do.
"Carl. Lieutenant Colonel Rostoka called
"Yes. Somehow, Karl couldn't help but stand upright.
His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel raised his head and looked at Karl, who was standing upright beside him with a dark face and a sharp gaze
"I want to kill!"
ββββββββ Lando BarΓ§a Railway Stationββββββββββββ
"Uhhh
With the sound of steam in the furnace coming out of the train's steam chassis, a lavishly decorated train came to a steady stop on the central platform of the train station.
The refugees who were about to be evacuated by train were driven off the platform by heavily armed regular army soldiers who had disembarked from the train, and the entire platform was now detached from the platform with no other unrelated soldiers, dressed in bright uniforms.
"Let us welcome with warm applause the new commander of the city defense of Lando Bassa City from the royal capital - Lieutenant Colonel Browder!"
On the platform, a major in a brand-new military uniform, with a big belly, stood upright, welcoming the new boss.
"Well, pretty good welcome preparations, Major Follett, it looks like you've done a good job of defending the city!"
Stepping down from the train, an even more bloated officer in a blue military uniform, this officer had a mustache and a wig, and was obviously a soldier, but his eyes did not have the clarity and openness of a soldier at all. Filth and arrogance filled the eyes of this fat fellow.
"It is an honor for all the military and civilians of Lando BarΓ§a to be praised by Your Excellency, and with Your Excellency in charge, Landobasa will surely become a nightmare that the emperor will never forget. β
Major Follett did his best to flatter the lieutenant colonel.
"Hahh
"The residents of Lando BarΓ§a still don't love their country enough. β
Seeing that he had encountered a cold scene, the lieutenant colonel showed a look of displeasure.
"Oh, they don't know you! When you defeat the despicable emperor under your leadership, they, the soldiers and civilians of the city, will surely welcome you like heroes!" the major hurriedly remedied
"Hmm...... It makes sense, this question will wait until I beat off the emperor, by the way, Follett, what will you eat tonight?" This is the question that the lieutenant colonel is most concerned about at this time.
"Returning to Your Excellency, we have made you a full dinner tonight at the best restaurant in the city, Maria's Restaurant, with the best Nagil lamb and Martha's cheese, and the best Verdi wine from the south. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. β
"Good! Follett! You've done a great job!"
The lieutenant colonel heard that the deputy had prepared his favorite things, and he couldn't stop complimenting him.
"Your Excellency!"
At this moment, a soldier covered in mud and dust squeezed through the crowd with a slip.
"What are you doing? The army is not in good shape! Now you are welcoming the commander, what kind of system has it become?!"
The lieutenant in charge of the guard stopped the soldier and reprimanded loudly
"However, here is the latest ...... of the Northern Front Volunteers"
"No matter what kind of information it is, it must wait until Your Excellency the Commander officially takes up his post tomorrow! Today is a welcome meeting! Not a combat meeting!"
"But......" The soldier seemed to want to say something.
"Okay soldier, listen to my orders, go backwards, turn around, step in unison!"
In desperation, the soldiers had to return to the empty headquarters with the information that countless soldiers had exchanged for their lives, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.
"Soldier, show me your information. At this moment, a blonde female officer in a black military uniform with dark skin ordered him in an unquestioning tone
"Yes. Without any suspicion, the soldier handed the information in his hand to the female officer in front of him.
"Yes? I see. Well, you're good to go. Tomorrow the information will be delivered to the commander on time, soldier. β
With that, the female officer handed the information back to the soldiers.
"Yes. β
