Chapter Ninety-Four: Blood Stained Red
After Freya joined the battlefield, the nature of the war changed completely. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Loyalty, honor, anger, fighting, killing, and everything that had been before was gone. War doesn't look as clear and clear as it used to be.
Or, in the words of other ordinary people, it became a one-sided massacre. Even torture and killing are not necessarily. In the face of Freya's terrifying and terrifying personal combat effectiveness, the war or something has completely lost the confrontation between the two armies, all kinds of tricks, all kinds of battles, all kinds of states.
There is no other possibility than one-sided torture.
Well, yes, it's one-sided torture. Torture, torture, and killing. War and torture are often inextricably linked.
If it's simply connected, then it's not a good thing. In other words, the killing and wounding of civilians in war or something can be associated with torture and massacre. But now it's definitely not like that. The battle between the two sides is clearly a battle between two armies.
However, when Freya joins in, the fight turns to brutality. The enemy on the opposite side is in front of Freya, and it doesn't matter if he is armed or not.
That's it.
When the enemy, the consul Leopold, found out about this, he had nothing to say for a long time, did not know what to say. Even angry shouts and angry shouts or something are lost.
Not at all. Not at all.
What the hell is that?
Can anyone tell me what that is?! Why is the enemy so strong?
Why is everything not as simple as he thinks. It's just a little bit short of succeeding. Why is everyone working against him?
Why can't you be obediently conquered by him, and then obediently say: You are the most powerful and greatest ruler in the world, and none of us are your opponents, please forgive me. Then we are willing to surrender to you, everything belongs to you, just forgive us and spare us not to die.
In that case, Archon Leopold would have been very, very lenient in saying, "You are also very good, and I am not the kind of tyrant who will kill people or anything." You should trust me.
Then he happily forgave them. After pardoning them, look for another opportunity, and see that the time is almost up, and the heat, attention, and so on have disappeared. Then find someone to kill them.
This is a very normal and very correct thing to do. Everything should be done in such a pleasant way. So, why fight against him? Why? Why?
In the midst of muskets, artillery, bayonets, grenades, incendiary, shotguns, and whatever, why are there thousands of paladins on horseback? This style of art is completely wrong, isn't it? Strange, right?
Is there a place where there is a place to protest against this inhumane and abnormal bastard rivalry? If there is, then the great Archon Leopold must complain about them.
Although the chances of their final success are not very high.
Come to think of it, isn't that a desperate thing?
Ah, it's really, so desperate, so desperate that people want to kill.
If he weren't an elected consul but a dictatorial tyrant, he would have lashed out in anger at the person who had passed on the news of such a nasty bastard, and killed the bastard who had brought the bad news.
He's going to do it.
Yes.
Although he is not.
Therefore, he could only hold back his anger, complaining, why am I not the emperor, while showing a smile and saying, "It's not your fault, don't be afraid".
And then, that's it. He's going to have to deal with the shit of losing two ironclad trains and not having enough troops to break through the opposing defenses.
The thing that made him even more unhappy was that there was a paladin on the opposite side of the enemy.
Although in the previous war, the fighting power of the father and son of the Hereford family was a thing that people, and the old knight class, talked about.
The fact that they alone persecuted a large army, and then how many enemies they slain, and then what feats they had established, had always been something that people were very happy to illustrate - and yet, the actual thing was that they had not been seen for a long time.
Ten years, or more.
As time went on, as William's father and son's status improved, it was good for them to continue to charge into battle and something like that. There are even many people who regard these things as nonsense legends. It's like a myth and a story.
In this case, it is normal for the child to be silent and confused. What's more, Visigothic is an atheistic republic. It's not normal, it's normal, it's normal, it's normal, it's all exaggerated. It's all enemy propaganda. Publicize. Trying to package those executioners who slaughtered people as ancient heroes or something.
Such outrageous things simply cannot deceive the great, heroic Visigothic people.
All this, under the propaganda of the original Visigothic propaganda machine, is indeed happily accepted.
Until now. Until now, there is really a presence who is a thousand. Really, the guy smiled pleasantly and slaughtered an unknown number of Visigoths.
At this time, people look at each other and ask "what should be done?" or something.
Isn't it a little late?
No, it should be said, now apologize to the Empire for saying that we don't actually want war. All those territories of the Ostrogothic Empire are handed over to you, and we will stop the war.
Isn't it, again, a little late?
After pondering such questions, the consul Leopold gave two orders.
First, stop the offensive.
The second is to retreat.
With more than 200,000 men, the Visigothic army, which had been gathered, stopped its assault on Lorraine and began to retreat, preparing to retreat into Visigothic territory. Then a defensive operation was conducted.
This symbolizes two things, the first of which is that the Visigoths, at least the upper echelons represented by Leopold, at least Leopold himself, have understood one thing, and that is that they have lost the initiative in the war. At present, it seems that the lands of the Ostrogothic Empire that they took away before cannot be defended.
That is, Leopold's dream of building a world empire, as expected by Leopold, has been shattered.
The desire of the Visigoths to rule the world was gone.
The second thing is. They are now at a disadvantage. This war is at a disadvantage.
If he loses again, then his fate. I'm afraid it won't be much better.
However, this is also something that cannot be helped.
Although I really want to shout regardless of it: attack, keep attacking. Put all your armies into it and launch an offensive mouth!
Something.
But.
Really. If that's the case, the likelihood of losing yourself will increase by I don't know how much.
So let's retreat. Retreat to the rear of the Territorial Defense Line. Strasbourg, as well as a large group of fortresses. On the banks of the Rhine, a large number of fortresses studied. This is a fortified fortress group that defended the Visigoths I don't know how many times.
After the revolution of the Visigothic Republic, while fighting continuously, the Visigoths strengthened these fortresses, and the defense increased considerably. Because in the beginning, no one thought that a republic could rule the world or anything. All believed that it would be a war to be fought on the territory of the republic. All believe that it is right to increase the strength of the defense.
Although, it's a little late to say that. But at least for now, it seems like these things are coming in handy, aren't they?
That's it.
William, who arrived here after this, was in a very good mood.
While holding Lorraine and pushing back the enemy's main forces, the enemy garrison in the Frisian region also retreated for the most part.
Because now in the retreat of the main forces. It no longer makes sense for them to continue to persevere. On the contrary, it is quite possible to be surrounded and then annihilated. In this case, it is more correct to retreat.
After several battles with the Imperial Army without victory, the morale boost that the Visigoths had gained from successive battles was constantly being curtailed. Now he has become very cautious, one might even say timid.
"You're doing well, Freya. ”
Because of this, William's smile was also very bright when he faced his aunt: "Very good, perfect completion of the task I gave you." A great member of our Hereford family. ”
When receiving such praise from William, Freya felt happy on the one hand, and embarrassed on the other.
Because he felt that he did not deserve such praise and rewards—because it was not quite what William said. At least she herself didn't think she was good enough.
If it weren't for the last gritted teeth and participated in the battle, then this war would probably have been lost.
Being forced to this extent, it has nothing to do with victory or anything.
"No, no, no, no matter what, the end result is good, it's fine. William may have seen her feelings. Then he comforted her and said, "You've done well enough, Freya. ”
Freya nodded, not saying anything more.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Other than that, she didn't really want to face William at this time.
In addition to the reason for his defeat, another reason was that he could feel that happiness from William. And the source of this happiness, the object of happiness. She understands it too.
It's that Norman.
Freya's enemy, Freya's friend, Freya's niece, and Freya's current jealousy. One of the queens of the empire, the new favorite of William's harem, that is, Victoria.
William's sense of well-being, rightfully and well, comes from Victoria.
