In the evening, Goodern, who had come out of the Academy, did not return to the castle for a meal, but went to the front line to eat with the soldiers.

Playing the same dinner in person and eating the same dinner is such an honor and emotion for the soldiers on the front line.

This kind of behavior, if it had been before, Goodern would have looked at it with disdain.

But it wasn't until he did it himself that he found that such an encouragement effect was more effective than 10,000 verbal assurances and encouragement.

Looking at the resolute looks on the faces of the soldiers, Gooden was also very relieved and moved.

The walls were defended, watched by Ells and Marz, and Goodern returned to the castle after a brief inspection.

There is a special person in charge of battlefield affairs, and he does not need to keep an eye on it all the time.

Back at the castle, Goodern used his flying magic as always, after all, the feeling of flying in the air was not too pleasant after it was familiar.

Although his current operating speed cannot break through the speed of sound like Herissa, it is still no problem to fly ten meters per second.

Passing by the woods park outside the castle, Goodern saw Erin pushing her wheelchair and carrying Siana along the path slowly, while little Amy seemed to be chasing something, making a series of footprints in the snow.

Looking at the three of them who were walking outside, Gooden lowered his dispersion magic and stepped forward to remind him.

"The war is not over yet, come out and take a breath and be careful."

"Young Master."

"Your Excellency."

"Teacher."

Seeing his appearance, the three of them had different titles.

"My lord, I wanted to come out and take a look, and I'm causing you trouble."

Siana, who was in a wheelchair, apologized to Goodern.

The war and the influx of refugees brought a lot of trouble to the town.

And Irene's mother, as a disabled person, is incapacitated, so it will be a little inconvenient for her to live alone with Amy.

So Gooden asked Erin to take the two of them into the castle to live, so that it could also be easily cared for and have a certain amount of protection.

"What's the trouble with this, just pay attention to safety, although the orc's attack has been repulsed, it will definitely not give up, if you want to come out to breathe, be a little careful."

Gooden explained casually, then looked at little Amy, took out his Mithril staff and handed it to her, and said.

"Random checks, come, and see how the magic is learning."

At the mention of magic, little Amy's face revealed a hint of seriousness, and she took the staff and began to mobilize her magic power.

A dark purple lightning bolt at the tip of the staff was rapidly converging, and in less than three seconds, a basic attack magic lightning flew out of it.

Thunderbolt, which was less than thirty centimeters long, concentrated the snowdrift not far away almost instantly, and blasted it into a cloud of snow mist, which was very powerful.

As the younger sister of the legendary sisters, little Amy has the ability to have an elemental affinity that every magician envies, although it is an affinity for all elements, but the best that little Amy has mastered in the current situation is the thunder element.

This surprised Goodern and Herissa, knowing that the Tired Elemental is one of the hardest of the basic elements.

Its nature is as lively and difficult to control as the element of thunder, and it is fleeting, and it is even more difficult to control the element of thunder than the element of fire.

But at little Amy's age, it has only been less than two months since she awakened to use the talent of manipulating thunder magic, which makes Helisa call a freak.

Looking at little Amy's speed and power, Gooden nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, it's much better than last time, remember to stick to your meditation training, and when you reach the first level, I'll give you an exclusive staff."

Hearing that she could have her own staff, little Amy's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Due to her young age, she now relies on the help of a magic wand to unleash her magic completely, but now the whole town

Gudeen was the only one with a staff of the Proper Scriptures.

Therefore, when she wants to learn and release magic, she has to wait until Goodern finds time to teach her, and other times, she can only silently build magic nodes in her mind to simulate the release, so as to train repeatedly.

Looking at excited little Amy, Goodwin stroked her hair before retracting her staff.

In fact, regarding the issue of the staff, the others have already been prepared and planned, and under normal circumstances, the time for trade with the emperor is also coming.

According to the content of the last transaction, he had changed a lot of magic metal, and it would be too easy to get a few magic staff with this batch of magic metal.

When the time comes, modify it with the entry, and there will be an exclusive and powerful staff, but now the war in the north is ahead, the western north has fallen, and Qingyuan Town has been besieged.

At this time, not to mention a convoy full of supplies, it is difficult to get in or out alone, so the magic wand gift plan has been wasted and has to be postponed.

After greeting little Amy, Goodern looked up at Erin and casually ordered.

"The situation is not good now, pay more attention to the alarm bell when you come out, I will go back to the castle first, and come back early."

"Hmm." Erin listened to Goodern's words and nodded.

After a brief hello, Goodern left to return to the castle and return to his study to continue his research.

The three of them walked and chatted in the grove outside the castle.

"Why didn't you tell your lord what you thought just now?"

Looking at the snow in the forest, Siana asked, and the person who asked was Erin.

"Seeing that the young master is so busy, although I really want to help him share a little, but I hesitated just now, for fear that bringing it up will make the young master feel trouble......

Listening to her daughter's words, Siana said encouragingly.

"There's nothing to worry about, and you should know the character of the lord best, even if you are rejected, it doesn't matter."

Siana said and couldn't help but quip.

"If I follow your character, I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to meet my little grandson."

"Mom~~!" Erin blushed at the sudden teasing.

"Haha." Feeling her daughter's shyness, Xiana laughed.

As Erin's mother and an identity who has come over, Siana is eager to see her daughter and Goodern together.

Needless to say, Gudeen's identity is naturally a lord, and he is still young, although he has only become a nobleman now, as long as this orc crisis passes, it is inevitable to be promoted again.

Although Erin's identity is a bit mismatched with Gooden, with Erin's qualifications and talents, it is more than enough.

What Siana is most worried about is the future of her two daughters, Gooden's natural strength will definitely go further in the future, and her attitude towards Erin and Amy is not ordinary, even if she can't give Erin a name, but it won't be too bad for them in the future.

"Try it at night, you always grow, don't just care about the stability in front of you.".

Siana patted the back of Erin's hand and spoke earnestly.

"Hmm."

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Gooden, who was calculating the final experimental data in the study, couldn't help but look up at her with some surprise when she heard Erin's request to bring hot tea.

"You just said you want to go to war?"

Repeating Erin's words, Goodern was also a little surprised that Erin said that she made a request.

"Yes, young master, I want to go to the front line of the city wall and also contribute to Qingyuan Town."

Listening to this Erin's firm tone, Gooden felt a little strange in his heart, what's the matter, the conscription propaganda has come to the castle?

Why are your maids going to fight on the front line?

Originally, I wanted to refuse this request, but looking at Irene's resolute face and the other party's personality, I was able to make a request to him, and I wanted to take a leave of absence to study last time

When it comes to writing.

After a moment's thought, Goodern spoke.

"Going to the battlefield is not simply training with dummies, it is to fight and fight, and this time the orcs are fierce, and it is not as serious as nine dead and one wounded on the battlefield, but I can't predict the situation later, and the battle situation may deteriorate at any time, are you sure to think about it?"

Instead of scaring the other party with expanded rhetoric, Gooden carefully explained the situation and saw how Erin reacted.

"And to contribute to Qingyuan Town, you don't have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, working and building in the town can be regarded as contributing to it, and you are also contributing to working in the castle, so you don't have to choose the most difficult one."

Although Gooden would follow Erin's decision in the final word, it would be best if he could persuade him now.

Although actual combat is a necessary process for promotion, with him there, Gooden still hopes to let Erin accumulate combat experience after she reaches the master.

After all, it's not good to shoot again when you reach Chaofan, and with Erin's talent entry, it is estimated that the master can fight with Chaofan, and the accumulated combat experience at that time is also the safest.

Erin listened to Gooden's words, and her heart was also a little tangled.

Her job as a chief maid is to work in the castle, but now that she has awakened to become a knight, her strength is useless.

And this time the orc siege happened to lack the number of people on the front line, and he would change the situation without saying anything, but he could also provide a lot of help for it and contribute to the protection of Qingyuan Town.

"I became a knight because I wanted to be able to personally stand up and protect everything I valued, and Qingyuan Town is now in such a crisis...... I think...... I want to help you through this as much as I can."

"When, of course, if you don't agree, it's okay, I'll do my job as the head maid!"

Looking at the maid's appearance, Gooden secretly sighed and agreed to her request.

"Okay, go change into armor and come with me, there may be a battle at night, take you to get familiar with it first."

Seeing that Gooden agreed, Erin's face was both happy and determined, and she hurriedly said.

"Thank you, young master, I'll go and prepare."

Looking at Erin as she left to prepare, Goodern smiled as the others went to battle with a bitter face and fear in their hearts.

Why did you still look happy when you arrived here?

It felt a little weird, but Erin's intention was to help him, and that made him happy.

After scribbling down a string of numbers and marks on the calculation scratch paper, Goodern put down his pen, got up and changed into a set of clothes, and waited for Erin to go to the barracks to prepare for the night battle.

After a while, Erin changed into armor and brought her own weapons to the barracks with Goodern.

The news of Erin's role as a maid is only known to a few people in Qingyuan Town.

This unique armor made many people who knew Erin later show a look of surprise.

In the barracks operations command room, Erin stood behind Goodern, and the other personnel involved in the evening preparation meeting were a little surprised to see her, but they didn't ask too much.

In a few moments, all the necessary personnel had arrived, and Goodborn began to ask.

"Is the investigation ready?"

"Ready, as you guessed, the orcs were planning to launch a night attack at night, and after retreating, they did not completely withdraw to the camp, but built an unlit camp in the area slightly ahead of the camp, and are gathering their troops."

As a scout team, Hobert and with the help of Noros soon saw that the situation on the orc front line was almost touched.

And as he spoke, he also pushed out a simple orc defense map and guided the specific location of the area.

Listening to Hobert's report, Gooden nodded slightly.

The lesson of the heavy damage that the orcs encountered in the elemental leylines was used again at this moment.

If there is no reconnaissance according to the normal situation, it must be an artillery shelling pair

Square well-lit campsite.

But this time, the orcs played with a dark light, and if they shelled without pre-reconnaissance, I am afraid that a lot of ammunition would have to be wasted.

"Place all mortar and cannon attacks on the flanks of the orc army, form a point of artillery strike, form a straight line, and drive the orcs to the middle."

"Besides, didn't the orcs build a fake camp? All the artillery shells were replaced with incendiary bombs, and they were hit half of the base, blocking their retreat, and when they were suppressed by the war artillery to the middle, they were all replaced with grenades and blown up by Lao Tzu."

"It just so happens that there is a group of recruits now, let this group of recruits come one by one to learn the use of artillery, it doesn't matter if the rate of fire is slow, the rate of fire is not enough time and quantity to make up, the shelling lasts for half an hour, gradually covering the attack, and the specific arrangement of the attack is up to you."

"Understood."

Everyone nodded slightly.

"The artillery bombardment should start as much as possible before the orc attack, and don't forget to check the city defenses, okay, let's get started."

At Goodern's words, the personnel who had taken the notes immediately got up and began to prepare for battle.

Although it is said that artillery is difficult to build, Qingyuan Town has accumulated a lot of artillery during this time.

For example, more than 100 mortars have been built, but only twenty or thirty have actually been put into battle, and only 46 have been artillery, and even fewer are 18 cannons.

Under normal circumstances, the number of artillery pieces can be doubled, but the growth rate is very slow due to the limited raw materials of iron.

But even if the number of artillery pieces is small, it is enough for the orc army to drink a pot.

In preparation for the artillery attack, Goodern and Erin went with him to the city wall in the southeast corner.

"This is the place where the battle on the walls is fiercest, and if the orcs attack, you can come here to help in the fight, but remember, your target is all the orcs who climb the walls, and protect the safety of the soldiers."

"However, the most important thing is your safety, everything is based on your safety as the most important standard, if you can't resist it, jump off the wall immediately and retreat, don't do it."

As the area with the fiercest battle today, outside the southeast corner, the corpses of the orcs piled up, and the thick smell of blood rushed straight ahead.

But at this moment, Erin didn't seem to smell this smell, looking at these corpses, there was no change in her face, just listening carefully to Gooden's instructions.

Inside the Corner Tower, to the top, Goodern looked out at the orc camp in the distance, and the area between the dark woods where orcs might be hidden.

"Let's wait here for a while, and let you see how the future war will be fought."

Hearing this, Erin did not speak, but waited quietly on the side.

The shelling preparation was calculated in less than half an hour, and all the preparations were completed.

With Martz's order, the mortars and field guns that were ready began to roar of their own.

In the dark night, the tail marks of orange-red streamers across the sky are clearly visible.

Mortars have a limited range, so they attack at closer flanks, while field guns are responsible for suppressing flank strikes at a distance.

The sudden shelling caught the orcs off guard, but fortunately they had prepared in advance, and the initial attack did not cause them much trouble.

And immediately after that, a group of bullets prepared their own incendiary bombs, and the salvo attack was covered, and in just an instant, the entire orc camp was turned into a sea of fire.

The orcs in the rear were extraordinary, and they couldn't help but feel a little glad when they saw such an attack method.

Fortunately, I made preparations in advance and let out an empty camp for the human race, otherwise I would really have to station the army into the camp, and I am afraid that this time the kung fu will reproduce the disaster of the elemental leyline.

But as half of the base incendiary bombs were fired, the next scene made their faces change suddenly.

A group of eighteen guns did not continue to attack the camp, but adjusted their fire to the forest at the front of the camp.

This time, more than half of the Kung Fu orc army is over there!

With a swarm of bullets erupting

An unprecedented attack, and the orc army that was still reorganizing was blown up in an instant, and one person turned on his back.

The power of a projectile has already shown its unparalleled power in the battle of the elemental leylines.

And this time there is no limit to ammunition, and it can be as many as you can hit in half an hour.

Gooden also took out all his old bottoms.

The huge fireball and flames shocked the residents in Qingyuan Town, although it was not yet time to go to bed, but the sound of this artillery fire continued to explode, and it was difficult for them to sleep at the moment.

Although they had been informed of the military operation in advance, the sound and scale of the sound could not help but make them a little worried, after all, such an explosion had never been remembered in the afternoon.

Could it be that the orc army has gathered a stronger army to fight it?
