When the steam train on which Schug had been riding finally reached the station in the jagged hills, he felt that he could already hear the dull roar wafting from the far and far horizons.

I don't know if it was thunder or artillery fire.

Or is it just a pure illusion?

If Bolden, the capital of the Kingdom of Waterl, was just a war-like atmosphere, then the town called "Brownhill", where Shug is now located, has simply been transformed into a huge military camp.

In other words, it is a distribution center and transit station for people and materials in the shape of a small town.

The entire town of Brownhill has been enveloped by a large secret ritual set up by the Council, and the magical lights and shadows that flicker in the air from time to time can give people a sense of security—a necessary measure, and the impact of a blow to the logistical center in a war is immeasurable.

Supplies, ordnance, soldiers, craftsmen, and other men were constantly being sent here, and Shuge saw a lot of workers here, most of them helping to carry them, and judging by the clothing of these people, they must have been the inhabitants of the small town of Brownhill, including men and women, and even some half-grown children.

"This town has a long history, and it is said that it was an important stronghold of the Kingdom of Wattel during the war two hundred years ago...... During this period, he was also attacked several times by the plains army."

Meyer's erudition was impressive, and he had found time to delve into the history of past war records and important sites in those days, and as he had said at his first meeting with Shugg, he had come to the front not only to perform his duties as a physician, but also to study and investigate.

He watched as the porters, under the guidance of soldiers and physician trainees, continued to remove some important equipment and equipment from the carriages, and then exhaled heavily: "This kind of mobilization and transportation speed is completely unimaginable to us in the past...... Once these railways can connect cities and countries to nations, the distance between all people will be shortened."

Shuge smiled and didn't speak.

He knew what that world would be like.

The conversation with Meyer didn't last long, and both men had tasks to complete.

Hug had seen the signal from Krautz to assemble the mages, so he said goodbye to Meyer and hurried to the appointed place.

In Waterl's army, nobility does not bring any overt benefits.

Both cultural habits and historical traditions put the norms and institutions of the Waters army in the first place, and in the face of those strict requirements, all people's identities, bloodlines and families must make concessions.

A behemoth like the Ernst family, which has considerable influence in the army, is indeed capable of carrying out a certain degree of "operation", but this "operation" is not overdone.

Relatively close to the rear, some positions with less work and a certain status, or special jobs such as commander's guard, mage's secretary, etc...... These arrangements tend to provide maximum security for family members, and they don't have much of a negative impact on the military as a whole.

….

Even in the history of Walter, there are not a few children of nobles who have been directly dealt with harshly for violating military discipline.

After this period of contact, Krautz was a lot more relieved about Xiuge, and he even felt that it was a waste for someone like Xiuge not to transfer to the front line, but he also arranged a safer and idle job for Xiuge according to the original plan and arrangement.

In the coming period, he will be responsible for the maintenance and inspection of the Brownhill Field Hospital and its surrounding magic protection rituals, which is an important foundation to ensure that the field hospital is not infiltrated and invaded, and according to the requirements of the Fifth Chasseur, there are also two other Stream-level mages from the Council, as well as nine mage apprentices and a whole fully equipped infantry company assigned to the group.

Such a configuration has fully met the needs of protecting field hospitals

At this stage, this level of manpower can even be said to be somewhat overflowing.

Schug had no problem with this arrangement.

Although his sense of belonging to Wattle and the army is relatively limited, this extremely regular and orderly work and lifestyle makes him feel very familiar, so he quickly entered the state of work, following the set of battlefield ritual setting specifications that Wei Lin taught him before, he completed the construction of the basic framework of the ceremony with his colleagues almost on the day he received the order, if not some important ritual materials are still in transit, Xiuge was afraid that he had already wanted to complete the large-scale protective ceremony that day.

That's a shameful speed.

Even Wei Lin felt some pressure, and in order to prevent Xiuge from making mistakes in the process of working for speed, she deliberately took the time to come over twice so that potential mistakes could be corrected in time.

As it turned out, her worries were largely unfounded.

Everything was going according to plan, and although the efficiency of the cultivation was amazing, the process was not wrong in the slightest, and he was even able to find time to take a few idle mage apprentices to help Professor Mayer.

Such a discovery made Weilin, Clautz and the others feel extremely surprised and incomprehensible, they are not questioning Xiuge's enthusiasm, after all, in the Wattel Kingdom, there are many young people who burst out with great enthusiasm and initiative in a short period of time because they joined the army, but they can all feel that Xiuge's mood is not high-pitched at all - he is always in an extremely calm and stable state.

It's as if he was very adaptable to this regular work and life in the general environment.

It is incomprehensible that this trait appeared in a young member of the Ernst family.

……

Of course, Xiuge himself knew what was going on.

The habit of "regular and stable life" has long been engraved into his bone marrow, and even if he changes his body and world, this habit cannot be easily changed.

In addition to his thoughts and concepts, this is the imprint left by his past experiences and life.

He always found a special beauty in the construction of infrastructure, and even though Xiuge knew that all the work he was doing now would actually be used for slaughter among humans, fortunately, the nature of the field hospital could greatly mitigate the negative psychological effects.

….

By the time, he had completely synchronized the pace of his life with the military, and he had become accustomed to the rituals and inspections that were being carried out four times a day, as well as the roar of the steam trains that constantly arrived at Brownhill Station.

Once you get into a regular state, time begins to pass quickly.

The battle reports from the front began to be transmitted continuously.

The St. Steeles were advancing aggressively on the Isa River front, but due to the coverage of the rails, the support effect of heavy weapons such as snowfield cannons on the battlefield began to decline significantly, and as more plain troops arrived at the front line, the Imapu Gong *** team, which had suffered heavy losses before, finally stabilized its position and began to organize an effective counterattack.

The fleet of the Kingdom of Hain had already set off and made contact with the fleet of the Duchy of Boult in the waters south of the Plain of the Goddess, and the new destroyers of the Kingdom of Hain performed excellently, winning the first battle, sinking and damaging three armored cruisers of the Duchy of Boult, but at the same time, a new destroyer of the Kingdom of Hain was also hit by heavy crystallized guns mounted on a heavy gunboat, although it was not sunk, but it was also seriously damaged.

The rest of the injuries are not listed for the time being.

In the "Silver Corridor" area near the Black Nest Mountains, the number of Waterl's troops was much lower than that of the assembled Delan King*** team, so the Delands confidently launched an active attack here.

When Hugg took the briefing from Major Alfred and read it, his body couldn't help but shake twice.

The attack of the Teresa was not presumptuous, and their legions were assembled at the "Silver Corridor" with great efficiency, so with the help of the effective information obtained from the observation of the balloons and the infiltration reconnaissance of the sword-wielding hermits of the Judicial Council,

General O'Mark, who was in charge of the command here, made a decisive judgment and decision, hoping to take the initiative to push the battle line towards the Black Nest Mountains before the supply lines of the Waters in the Silver Corridor were fully established.

Once this vital passage could be blocked, the southern craggy hills to the Serens would be more strongly supported, and if conditions permitted, the Delands would even be able to make a strategic breakthrough through the silver corridor.

However, the faith of the Teresa made for a battle that could be called a massacre.

The butcher's knife was raised by the Votel soldiers.

The Deresan army, which marched in a dense queue under the protection of the mass protective ritual, became the meat that had been arbitrarily divided.

The butcher knife was eventually named the "Kalfan II Heavy Steam Crystallizer Machine Gun", or simply the "Kalfan Heavy Machine Gun".

In this strange world, history has once again taken a familiar step.

"Xiuge, I can't help but think, if it weren't for the fact that my friends were also in the 'Silver Corridor,' I would almost have thought that they were faking in the briefing for military exploits!"

Major Alfred was in a different state when he talked about it, he was a very typical Wattle officer, and it seemed to him that killing the enemy and counting them was too much for him, but when the numbers on paper were exaggerated to the point that it was difficult to count them in detail, his whole body became a little dizzy.

Hugg's gaze swept back and forth over the last few lines of the briefing, and then he looked up and confirmed to Alfred with some uncertainty, "Day one...... 30,000?"

….

Alfred corrected, "A conservative estimate of 30,000."

"'Silver Corridor, those guys have a dark heart, they didn't use the Calfan heavy machine gun at all in the beginning, but finally pushed it out after the Teresa legion had already made contact with the first line of defense...... At that time, the Derama's crystallized cannons generally stop shelling, so as not to injure themselves by mistake."

He exhaled heavily, "Now, I'm afraid that place will have to be renamed 'Silver Hell.'"

"Our casualties are not small, I think the first line of defense was recaptured later?"

"How can you not die in a war?"

Alfred wiped away the excitement from his face, and he sighed, "It's time to get ready to receive the first wounded, the Plains and the Law Council have reached an alliance, and the weapons they use are a little behind, but they will still die if they hit the soldiers...... What's more, they have a lot more messy spellcasters than we do."

"The field hospital is almost complete, and it is almost ready to receive the wounded."

Hearing Alfred say this, Hug instinctively reported, but then he saw the major raise his hand, and his tone became a little lazy: "Stop, my dear Mr. Hugg, I didn't call you here to hear your report......

"So what else can I do?"

Seeing Alfred's appearance, Xiuge also gave up his previous official posture, and he spread his hands: "You should talk to Mr. Cluse or Professor about more important things...... How can I, a Stream Mage, help you? It can't be to help you deliver a letter to a girl in the hospital, right?"

"Tsk."

Alfred smacked his lips, "Alright, that's the joke...... I've come to you primarily for one thing."

He looked up at Xiuge, "Do you know anything about the earthquake before?"

"Of course, it has something to do with earthquakes?"

Alfred nodded, "At that time, the earthquake and the magic movement destroyed the lockdown ceremony set up by the Law Council in the city of Salen, so for a while, the people of the city had a chance to escape...... In fact, there are people who have escaped, and we have now found the refugees from the city of Seren."

The Major of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment handed over another letter, on which he saw the seal of the Wattle royal family, and then he heard Alfred say, "The news spreads quickly, anyway, the Bordon side already knows about it, and they want us to take care of these refugees, and they can give them an interview...... You know

Dao, this matter is very important to us, control public opinion."

Hugh looked at the letter in his hand, "I probably understand, the above hopes to use this to condemn Merlinleho's atrocities? But I remember that our artillery had fired at the city of Selen."

"It depends on whether the refugees find the shells scary, or whether the hunger and monsters are more terrifying."

Alfred spread his hands, "You have lived in the city of Selen, you know the city well, you are still a nobleman and a mage...... No matter what point you start, you will be able to win the trust of those refugees, so how about you come forward and talk to them?"
