Chapter 176: The Rotten War
"Thank you so much for your help, I hope these people can be regarded as a force for us to help break the will of their companions."
Bruno Bastian breathed a sigh of relief from the area where everyone was grateful, and having them as an example could at least keep those people from not being afraid of death all the time.
"This is just a drop in the bucket, I'm afraid the situation in the future will not be good, you guys will have to be busy next."
Even if these people lose, they still can't help themselves, and the reward always has to pay a price.
Over the next few days, the Combine hastened their attack, as if they had received some order. They avoided the defensive line on the coast of the port area and began to project their forces to the rear.
While cutting a fence through the forest, drive the forest guards back. While it began to advance towards the defense line of the city.
Although there was less long-range support from the fleet's artillery fire, the superiority in equipment and numbers, and most importantly, the organization, overwhelmed the natives and temporaries.
The large artillery could not come up, and the continuous bombardment of the small artillery also destroyed all the plants and things near the perimeter of the city, leaving only the defensive trench buildings.
Hermione helped them deal with the slave army during this time, she could end the war in an instant, and the other party could destroy this place directly.
"Are you alright, Anatolna?"
"Thank you Lord Austin for your concern, I can still hold on, a warrior will not fall so easily."
Anatolna, who had changed into a military uniform, returned here with a bandage on her right hand to recuperate, her face a little pale. In the past few days, due to the lack of manpower, women and children have been mobilized.
She was shot through the arm when she threw a bomb in the trench to the opposite side, but she threw the bomb out anyway. He didn't come back until the fighting stopped.
Most of the houses on the inner side of the city have been evacuated, leaving the remnants of the wall damaged by the shelling.
Hermione was going to take a trip to the depths of the forest at the back, which was nothing to her anyway. It's been a long time coming.
After saying hello to Bruno Bastian, he left the command and walked a few steps past the edge of the tattered town.
The soldiers in the trenches below are resting, each looking for some way to entertain, to relieve the tension of the past few days.
Charred black particles of dirt covered the area, and the soldiers on duty with helmets of the same color watched cautiously to avoid being hit by snipers in the shadows.
On the opposing unit's position, the slave army, which was divided in several places, could only build a defensive line and build a position by moving things and things.
The Combine forces were on guard in all directions, and the loose artillery parts were constantly transported by those men in small boats and stored in dug places.
Hermione, who came to the side of the transport team, watched them unload, these were some small-caliber field cannons, which were quite normal.
She thinks the Combine have done too much, and that it's a little too persistent to do so for the sake of an island that can only disgust Rune.
These 'slave armies' are also a resource, and they should not be wasted here, and it is more valuable to go to the mainland to support the war than here.
"Why should we go into the forest, it will only cause us heavy losses, it is better to directly attack the city."
"I don't understand either, although these natives are vulnerable in the frontal battle, we will have a lot of trouble if we enter the other party's territory and disperse."
The two young officers whispered to the side, both of which were clearly heard by Hermione, who was standing behind the shadows, and it seemed that the other party really had some purpose.
"The adults above probably know it, it seems that there is something important inside, but unfortunately we don't have a level to know."
"It's good to let those cannon fodder open the way in front, I didn't expect the other party to be able to cancel the divine contract, with those traitors here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for these people to do their best."
"Just use it to open a good road, there's no need to be too demanding, if you and I fall into the hands of the other party, I'm afraid it's the same."
"I don't know when it will end, I miss my days in East Bailang, the battle here is meaningless."
The rest of the conversation was all about missing her family's life, and Hermione couldn't tell anything when she saw it, and went straight to the warship on the distant shoreline.
I originally wanted to go to the extinct volcano in the forest, but now that I know something, I have to understand it, otherwise I will always be itchy.
The deck of the battleship was a little new, some old, and the busy crew walked around, all forgetting Hermione in the shadows, and she followed the open door to the area where the command post was located.
According to the information obtained from the dialogue and the pedestrian dialogue, you will enter the command room, and the surrounding walls are U-shaped transparent glass, so you can see the surrounding scene clearly.
On the middle table was a table stacked with maps, where two middle-aged men in military uniforms drew and compared the papers they were holding.
"If we go a little deeper, we can get closer, just in time to suppress their artillery positions from the dead corners on the side, so that we don't have to worry about too much loss."
"The other party has long been prepared under the sea, difficult. Dismantling the main gun and assembling it is more reliable than this. ”
"If there is a sage to help me clean it up, it will be very fast, but it will only be a matter of moments."
"Do you think that the other party doesn't have it, we have already occupied an absolute advantage, and we can't attack this place for a long time, and the responsibility of the entire fleet is very great."
"The captain is back for a meeting, and there will be new orders when he comes back, and then it's time to leave."
"Hopefully, we can use extraordinary magic to push the sea surface up a few meters on this side, and we will directly use the battleship artillery to destroy the defense line they have established behind it."
"And then we're heading into the mountains, isn't we, Chief of Staff?"
"The tribe inside has several mysterious items, among which the church has asked for it, and we can't do anything about it."
"We're going to need some reassurance, Chief Staff."
"Don't worry, one person picks half, since they are united, don't make too much trouble."
Here, Hermione still didn't get the specific information she wanted, and these people didn't know anything and said it was really misleading.
"It seems that a strong man on the other side has taken action to terminate the fair contract, and those servant troops seem to be reluctant to continue working."
"There is nothing said above, anyway, they will deal with it, we can't interfere, just do a good offensive plan honestly."
In fact, the young officer just now didn't know about these contracts, and if the contracts were witnessed by the gods, Hermione would definitely not be able to break them herself. The other party will still die.
But it is also impossible for the gods to be idle to do these things, and the prayers are not answered too much, and most of them are arranged by the people below.
Hermione directly reflected the connection between them to the illusory self in the mirror, and stuck a bug for 'them' to die, so that it was lifted.
After listening to the similar battle plan, she turned around and left here to continue her business, and came back to see.
