"Boom !!"

Just as Qin Shouzhuo was still having a meeting with Sophia in the officer's quarters of the Count of Brittany, the sound of continuous magic cannon fire and the explosion sound unique to flame-based magic came from the valley. The sudden and fierce sound of battle interrupted the analysis meeting in the officer's cafeteria, and Qin Shouzhuo and several people came out to check the situation.

The enemy fleet retreated, and the cave in Fang Mountain was under the control of the Babia mercenary group, and the airport base in the cave where the unknown fleet came out had also been completely occupied by a mercenary group in Shu County.

Although there is no explicit agreement, the war in the world of Elise generally follows this routine. Since it is impossible to win and it is impossible to escape, the stubborn resistance will only increase the casualties, and both sides will suffer, so it is better to surrender. However, today encountered an accident, and the troops who went to surrender not only did not accept it smoothly, but instead fought, not only fell into a bitter battle, but also suffered a large number of casualties.

The voice just now is that the Baron Babia, which has temporarily carried out emergency treatment of the hidden danger, is carrying out fire support tasks, and the Baron Babia, which has independent power and strong wind resistance, is cruising in the valley at a speed of about 3 knots, and carrying out a dispersive attack on the enemy brigade that is still stubbornly resisting.

Without the support of the fleet, the lack of heavy weapons such as magic cannons, and the unobstructed valley floor, the infantry alone could not stand against an enemy supported by flying ships, even with the most fearless sacrifice. The shouting of slaughter in the valley continued for some time, reaching its peak when Princess Sally reached the front line. While Qin Shouzhuo and they were still in a meeting, Princess Sally, who was bored, left the officer's cafeteria on her own, only to encounter a counterattack from those enemy infantry of unknown origin. Princess Sally, who had played soy sauce throughout the previous battle because she was deceived by Qin Shouzhuo, immediately couldn't help it, and without saying a word, she ran over following the sound, and a series of explosions in the valley except for the roar of the magic cannon were made by her.

Because the enemy was already struggling to survive, Qin Shouzhuo didn't take this matter to heart at all, and simply explained to the General Staff to take charge of the various departments, if the enemy resisted more resolutely, he only needed to send any ship over to clean it up, and the Baron Baron Babia, which was being overhauled in the valley, would be better. However, the situation was obviously beyond Qin Shouzhuo's prediction, according to the normal situation, the Baron Baron Babia, which was being overhauled, obviously could not catch up with the battle, and the other party would all surrender, but the fact was that until the Baron Baron Babia completed the overhaul, the battle still did not subside.

Because it was already the final battle, victory was already a certainty, everyone didn't want to fall before the victory, and the final battle had always been the least fierce battle that belonged to the capture of prisoners all over the land, from the commander to the soldiers, no one took it to heart, and the attack was not resolute, but the result was that it could not be attacked for a long time, and for a time it was actually evenly divided. It wasn't until Princess Sally arrived at the front line that the soldiers who received the buff of high morale and direct fire support gradually gained the advantage, and it was not until the Baron Baron Babia brandished 4 heavy magic cannons and 12 light magic cannons that the other party's morale collapsed, and then a wave of the whole family came, all of whom were killed in front of the infantry position of the Babia mercenary group.

Such a fierce soldier, Qin Shouzhuo was also the first time to see it, and the Babian mercenaries who underestimated the enemy paid a heavy price for it. In order to annihilate the desperate army that everyone was wounded and nearly 1/3 of the seriously wounded, the Babiya mercenary group suffered nearly 200 casualties, and more than 700 people were lightly and seriously wounded.

On the main deck of the Count of Brittany, a group of officers surrounded Qin Shouzhuo speechless, and the depression that the mountain wind could not blow away enveloped everyone. Qin Shouzhuo sat in the middle, looking at the battle report that had just been sent, his face was not good-looking. In the previous battle against the cottage, from the landing to the final cleaning of the battlefield, there were dozens of casualties. And in the second battle that followed, not counting the casualties of the air battle, just talking about the final battle, almost 200 people died.

Underestimating the enemy! The key factor in causing such serious consequences is to underestimate the enemy, and no one takes this closing battle seriously, from Qin Shouchou himself, who is the supreme commander, to every grassroots soldier, there is none!

Everyone thought that this was just a relaxing aftershow at the end of a difficult battle, everyone just waved the weapons in their hands to deter, and the surviving enemy soldiers would obediently put down their weapons and surrender, and everything scattered in the valley - including prisoners and magic power machinery with maintenance value, etc., was already there, just waiting for everyone to pick it up. As an estimate of the danger of the opponent's counterattack, at least everyone did not take off their armor and weapons to capture the prisoners, but they had no bottom in their hearts about the spirit of resistance of the other party.

Qin Shouzhuo was very angry, but he couldn't say a word. The officers around him, if they were guilty of underestimating the enemy and causing battle damage, the first one who should be taken was himself, because he was the first to underestimate the enemy, and after the Count of Brittany landed, he followed Princess Sally up, not only did not give any instructions for the next battle, but also did not even make directional arrangements. Worse still, because the staff system was still being established, the fleet staff had not even set up a chief of staff, and the deterrent effect on the commanders of the various units was not great, and as a result, the final battle was scattered and turned into a chaotic battle. If it weren't for the big difference in strength between the two sides, Qin Shouzhuo's side might even fail.

With such a big pot on his head, Qin Shouchou lost his temper, but he immediately found something wrong in a bunch of reports: in several squadrons involved in the battle, there were squad commanders who reacted, and the enemy's equipment was very powerful, no worse than our own use. It's just that it's not worse than our own use, but it's not better than ours, which doesn't explain the reason for the heavy losses, in order to avoid Qin Shouclumsy thinking that they are all a bunch of guys who shirk their responsibilities, so this kind of report is placed in the most inconspicuous position in the pile of documents.

There is no wise commander who does not attach importance to the opinions of the grassroots. As the commander of the army, it is naturally impossible to fight on the front line, so the battle report from the grassroots is the most intuitive thing for the upper echelons to understand the combat strength of the two sides, although there are many of these things, and there are many contradictions. Qin Shou asked himself if he was not a wise commander, but as a grassroots commander of the Earth Federation Navy, in the face of the orders of his superiors, he didn't know how many times he scolded S/B, and when it was his turn to lead the troops, he would naturally try to avoid this kind of problem and give full attention to the opinions of the grassroots.

The report said that the enemy's equipment was very powerful, and it was very powerful, not more sophisticated, but it is conceivable that the other party's equipment was really powerful, or that the officer who wrote the report encountered the enemy's equipment was very powerful. But this is not scientific, after Babia Steel completely defeated the dwarf steel, Qin Shouzhuo has not heard of that kind of steel that can be compared to Babia Steel in terms of performance, especially after the rolling mill, large-tonnage die forging machine, advanced precision forging machine, large-tonnage free forging machine and other mechanical processing equipment and the corresponding quenching and tempering equipment are installed, Qin Shouzhuo does not believe that there is a better steel material than Babia's own use!

Hearing is false, seeing is believing, the other party's equipment is so powerful, Qin Shouzhuo naturally wants to see it, and ordered to go down and collect some thief equipment, and after a while, several soldiers came to Qin Shouzhuo with a large number of captured equipment.

Under Qin Shouzhuo's instructions, the two soldiers put on a full set of armor, one holding the standard short sword of the mercenary group, and the other holding the captured enemy long sword, slashing each other with all their might.

"Ping Pong Ping Pong ......"

After a dozen strokes, and then looking at the blade, both sides were jagged, full of gaps, and then looked closely, there was a subtle crack on the short sword of the Babia mercenary group, and there was no one on the captured sword, and the gap between the two sides was obvious.

The incredulous Qin Shou ordered his men to erect four dummies, put on captured and homemade armor, and then ordered the soldiers to take the intact standard short sword and the captured long sword to slash and kill. It didn't take long for the results to come out, in terms of the lethality of the armor, the two sides can be said to be equal, and the damage to the sword is still more serious than that of the Babia mercenary group.

Subsequently, the captured enemy armor was used for a destructive test, different from the armor of the ordinary Bright Legion, the armor of this army is simpler, it can almost be seen as a human-shaped iron barrel, very simple, although the thickness is not very thick, but the strength is very large, the Babia mercenary regiment standard short sword cut almost no point of strength, and was easily slid away, leaving only a slight scratch. The puncture failed as well, and only a few small joints were considered weak points and were easily pierced.

Since he did not use Dou Qi, it was normal for the defense of the equipment to exceed the attack, and Qin Shouzhuo could understand it, but this was enough to prove the terrifying nature of this armor, if this army was really a secret army under the command of the Holy See, Qin Shouzhuo would never believe that even this kind of equipment was unique to this army. Facing the secret forces of the Holy See, which had already been formed and equipped with such high-performance equipment, Qin Shouzhuo also felt a little numb for a while.

While Qin Shouzhuo was still investigating the seized equipment, Princess Sophia had already begun to arrange for the troops to retreat. The first is the Imperial Southern Fleet, which cannot stay out for a long time without a military order, and will go back after completing the mission, just so that they can bring the prisoners captured during the attack on the cottage and leave the captured flying ships. Qin Shouchou's transport fleet suffered heavy losses, but the ground forces were basically intact, and they couldn't walk by relying on the remaining ships.

After difficult negotiations and an exchange of interests, Sophia agreed to García Shelley to join his fleet into battle, rewrite the battle report, and repay them for their merits, and García Shelley also provided convenience to the Babia mercenary group accordingly. The retreat of the imperial fleet was arranged, as well as the reorganization and retreat of the Babia mercenary group, which really made Sophia scramble, but fortunately, the experience of being in charge of the Babia Industrial City in the past two years was not in vain, and the organizational ability has been greatly improved.
