Chapter 1070: A New Mission (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, ask for a recommendation, ask for a collection, in the middle of the month, no matter what the ticket is, if you have it, click on it, thank you.
The mage held the telegram in his hand and hurriedly flew to the headquarters, because he was too anxious, he did not control the speed when landing, and fell from more than ten meters in the air, an imperfect landing that was almost like a hard landing.
Under the huge impact, he staggered a little, and almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly supported the ground with his staff so that he did not fall a dog to gnaw mud in front of everyone.
The mage hurriedly straightened up, then shook his robe, reached out and wiped the long hair on the top of his head, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the hairstyle is not messy......
The surrounding soldiers couldn't help but look at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud when they looked at this stinky mage.
Looking at the different eyes of the guards in the new mission (asking for a monthly ticket) in the 1070th chapter of Zhou, the mage smiled awkwardly, and then quickly rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army.
As soon as he lifted the curtain, a room full of glittering Venus almost blinded him.
Except for some generals who accompanied Archduke Julius to attack the city on the front line, most of the generals in the rest of the peacekeeping force gathered here.
Dozens of battle-hardened and murderous generals turned their heads in unison, staring at the mage who stumbled in.
That powerful aura, if you change to a timid person, you may be stunned in an instant.
But the mage was also used to it, and he didn't care at all, he just hurriedly ran towards the main seat, with a nervous expression on his face, and shouted eagerly: "Boss, emergency." Something urgent. β
A room full of generals was telling boring jokes just now, with idleness in his mouth, waiting for noon to start.
Archduke Julian crouched in front, supervising his soldiers to fill in the pits, and then using artillery to point at the worthy targets in the city of Haligard one by one, as if playing a game of whack-a-mole. It doesn't take so many people to be around.
Although it was interesting at first, the generals enthusiastically circled all the targets in Haligad that were already within range of the artillery, and then watched as the new mission of the artillery chapter 1070 (asking for a monthly pass) knocked them out one by one.
Then the infantry shouted and rushed into the layers of trenches, and engaged in a bloody battle with the enemy hiding in the trenches.
Little by little, fighting with the enemy, consuming, little by little, moving forward. Occasionally, they will be beaten back by counterattacks by enemy groups.
Or after capturing a trench, the enemy immediately opened the levee to the mouth of the river, and the soldiers immediately screamed and desperately escaped before the flood poured into the entire trench.
Immediately, the enemy took advantage of the situation and covered the kill.
The artillery opened fire again, repulsing the enemy. Then the infantry attacked again, wading ankle-length blood, fighting with the corpses and the enemy.
Now the two sides have been caught in a senseless tug-of-war, but it can only continue.
It's like two giants who are fighting, although they are out of breath and their tired tongues are about to spit out, but they can only use the last of their strength to knock down the enemy as much as possible, otherwise it will be him who falls.
In this case, all the stratagem, all the tricks, are useless. Not to mention the art of conducting. The generals could only be like gamblers rolling the dice, sending the soldiers up and basically having nothing to do, quietly waiting for that outcome. Then, based on the results, decide whether to bet again or not.
It was clear to everyone that if nothing else changed, the siege would be a long and arduous one, like all sieges in history.
Lorraine, the generals, had nothing to do, just sat together and chatted nonsense. First, it can be blatantly spent with public funds. Second, we can also enhance mutual understanding.
Seeing the mage running in in a hurry, Lorraine, who was listening to other people's jokes, immediately stood up and smiled: "My dear Withers, why are you so scared, could it be that the High Priest of the Undead called?"
Listening to Lorraine's amusement, the surrounding generals suddenly let out a chuckle.
Lorraine is very familiar with the mage in charge of the telegraph station, he is also Lorina's classmate, one of Rest's disciples, his ability is not bad, and he knows the roots, so when he was recruiting Tietong Telegraph Network executives, he was the first to choose.
"It's pretty much the same. Master Withers smiled bitterly and then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Red alert, handsome. β
Lorraine was stunned for a moment, this Withers mage is usually self-admiring, and he is a more cheerful and jumping character, he must not look like a serious mage.
can make him show this kind of expression, it can be seen that things will not be simple, and Lorraine suddenly has a bad premonition.
He walked over quickly and took the telegram, opened it and quickly read it, and blurted out: "Damn, it's really the undead high priest who called~!"
The generals laughed out loud, and someone said, "Your Excellency, you are so humorous. β
But then they found that Lorraine was holding the telegram, his face quickly turned pale, and his expression was stern and terrifying, and they couldn't help but fall silent.
You must know that even when he was face to face with Haddou, this uncle never showed an expression like this.
can make Lorraine show such a solemn expression, which shows the seriousness of the matter. Everyone closed their mouths and straightened up to look at Lorraine.
"Did something happen?"
Lorraine nodded slowly, and said solemnly: "The lich has attacked Edin Island, and the time is ......"
With that, he flipped over his wrist, looked at the watch on his wrist, and said, "Well, an hour and a half ago." β
The Telegraph Network of the Flying Eagle Group delivered information to the headquarters of the peacekeeping force in the shortest possible time with great efficiency.
The generals were all stunned, staring blankly at Lorraine, and found that he didn't seem to be joking. Then they looked at each other with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
The news from thousands of miles away had reached in just one and a half hours.
It's such an amazing thing.
This thing is said to have been something that only forbidden mages could do before.
But now it's a breeze?
Although everyone had tried it and understood the benefits of the telegraph, they still felt a little uncomfortable when they suddenly found that it was so fast.
It's like a person who has been out for three years, and then suddenly a telegram comes from home, telling him that his wife has just given birth to a big fat boy, and it always feels as if it is separated by a light veil, hazy, and not very real.
The generals, who had been silent for a while, finally came to their senses as to what had happened, and suddenly burst into a loud noise.
"There is no room for error in the Isle of Edin. β
"To return to the rescue, we must retake the island of Etin. β
"What's going on now? Is Edin Island lost?"
"Hell, how long can we last with our current provisions?" There was a lot of noise and chaos in the command headquarters.
Lorraine waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then turned to the guards next to him and said, "Go and ask Archduke Julius to come back." We have to be cautious about this. β
The man also knew that the matter was important, so he hurriedly agreed and ran out quickly.
At this time, Archduke Julius was standing at the front of the camp with a telescope, carefully observing the situation in the city of Haligard.
During the 10-day siege, something had changed inside and outside the city of Haligard, except that many parts of the city had been blasted into ruins by artillery.
At his feet, the soldiers of the New Army were still struggling to carry soil and fill in the trenches dug by the Southern Army, but at this speed, it was like the next Blu-ray HD romance action movie with dial-up Internet broadband. The eagerness contrasts sharply with the speed of a turtle. It's so hateful that you can barely grit your teeth.
If only that's all there is to it.
While they were attacking, the Confederate Army occasionally fired arrows out of the trenches to harass the actions of the new army. Obstruct the movement of those Forces nouvelles.
The archers and commanders of the Southern Army were also extremely clever, and although they hid in the trenches and did not show their heads, after every rain of arrows, there were batches of new troops falling.
In order to sweep away the archers in the south, this side had to send infantry to rush forward again, and the two sides started a tug-of-war againγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Lorraine just didn't have the patience, so she slipped away.
Lorraine's adjutant hurried over as if his butt was on fire, panting and whispering a few words in front of Archduke Julius.
The general of the new army who was supervising the battle next to him saw that the expression on the face of Grand Duke Julius changed instantly, but he quickly returned to normal.
Grand Duke Julius patted the shoulder of the general of the new army next to him, and said: "Collect the troops and come here first today, the general of the new army looks up at the sky, it is just noon, and usually the Grand Duke of Julius will not call it a day if he does not fight all day."
Several generals of the New Army were secretly muttering in their hearts: What is going on today? Could it be that something unexpected has happened?
However, although the relationship between the Grand Duke and Empress Isabella is good, compared to the old and the army, these new troops are raised by the stepmother in the eyes of the Grand Duke, and they don't care too much about them.
The generals of the New Army protested a few words at first, but later they got used to it γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ».
Archduke Julius threw down the New Army generals present, jumped on his horses, and hurried back to the headquarters.
After he lifted the curtain and entered the door, the first thing he asked was, "How is the situation on Edin Island?"
Lorraine handed the telegram to Archduke Julio, shook his head, and said, "There is only this one piece of news at the moment. I've asked them to follow up on the situation. β
Archduke Julian's face was also gloomy and terrifying, and he said, "Then we will prepare for the worst." β
Lorraine nodded, especially at this time, you can't take chances, just treat it as if Edin Island has been completely destroyed.
Edin Island is very important and is an artery in the entire transportation logistics line. Once it's cut off, the consequences are quite severe.
Archduke Julius turned his head to look at a general at hand, and asked with concern, "Old Borg, how much impact will the loss of Edin Island have on our logistics?"
General Edberg is one of the close confidants of Archduke Julio, he is in charge of the logistics of the entire peacekeeping force, and is considered one of the giants of the peacekeeping force under Archduke Julian and Lorraine.
His immediate boss is Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine.
Only Catherine personally took care of the books of the peacekeepers, and Archduke Julian and Lorraine could rest assured that there would be no inexplicable attrition and other things, while Edberg was engaged in specific work.
Edberg groaned and said, "The bulk of the logistical supplies transshipped or sent out through Edin Island are grain and cloth, and the quantity accounts for one-third of the total logistics.
If it were before that, I would say that losing Edin Island was a fatal blow to us. But now......" Edberg said, "The impact is not too great. Originally, we had been stockpiling supplies at full capacity. However, since the gradual withdrawal of troops, the number of personnel has been relatively reduced, and our material demand is only half of the original. β
Both Archduke Julian and Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they did not threaten the very roots of the peacekeeping forces.
Edberg said lightly: "Relying only on other shipping routes can basically meet our needs."
Of course, it would be better if the Almohads could squeeze a little more. β
Archduke Julius patted Edberg on the shoulder and smiled with relief: "Old Borg is reliable at the critical moment. β
Edberg smiled indifferently.
Grand Duke Julius turned his head to look at the full number of peacekeeper generals, and said in a deep voice: "There is a more important question at present, are there any other areas that have also been attacked by the Lich?"
Lorraine shook his head and said, "I haven't received any news of attacks in other areas, but the attack on Edin Island can't be regarded as an isolated incident. The lich doesn't make such a big fuss just for the sake of an Edin Island. For the lichs, it's not worth it. β
Archduke Julius nodded slightly.
Lorraine tapped her fingers on the table and said, "This may be what Haddou is calling a method." Hadu was so calm and let out his words, turning the tide of the war in three months, I think this is the day he was waiting for.
Cooperating with the demons and letting them disrupt our supply lines is indeed vicious. β
The surrounding generals looked solemn, and someone asked, "Then what should we do now?"
Grand Duke Julian glanced at them and said, "First of all, I will say that this war in front of me will not stop, Haligard must be taken, and Haddou must also die." Otherwise, the sacrifices and huge human and financial resources we have made in the first half of the year will be in vain. β
Lorraine nodded and said, "This is the premise, our primary goal is to ensure the final victory of the peacekeeping forces." β
Archduke Julius snorted, smiled confidently, and said, "Hadu thinks this is his chance? But if the Lich expands the scope of the raid to all of our shipping ports, Haddou may be able to achieve his goal. β
Grand Duke Julian looked at the generals in front of him one by one and said, "We must ensure the smooth flow of logistics and supply routes. β
Lorraine smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll go." β
Archduke Julian nodded with an "um" and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you." β
Lorraine is indeed the most suitable candidate at the moment.
Lorraine and the Lich are experienced in combat, and they are even better at dealing with special operations.
Several times, no one in the Ruman Empire was better suited to deal with the Lich than Lorraine.
Lorraine stood up against the table and said, "Without further ado, I'll start preparing now." β
"What else do you need?" Archduke Julius said simply.
Lorraine shook her head and said, "The assistance I need most is not here, but in the Vatino." β
At this time, Lorraine remembered several old men of the Holy See who dared to sneak attack the High Priest of the Undead, and ascetics who had dedicated their lives to holy arts.
These old guys, who seem to be hanging at any moment, are the most powerful fighting power behind the Vatino.
Unlike the intrigues of the cardinals, the ascetics devoted all their energies to the pursuit of greater sanctity.
The meaning of their existence is to fight against the dark life, or simply the High Priest of the Dead himself.
When the lichs come to attack their supply lines, they must be the same as when they went to the Semitic continent, playing a high-IQ, fast-reflexing special warfare.
First of all, the number of people who infiltrate cannot be too large, and secondly, the operation is also to change places with one shot.
If you want to catch them, the most powerful person is a powerful priest or paladin.
Archduke Julian also understood the idea.
"But, my lord, for now, you should inform Ruman City first, and they will send troops to deal with it, right?" A general next to him looked worried, and said: "This is only three thousand miles away from Hafs Port, and when the deputy commander-in-chief rushes all the way to Edin Island, I am afraid that the situation will be out of control." β
"Now that we have a telegram, we can now let the Vatino cooperate with the city of Ruman and send troops together to destroy the lich on Edin Island. β
This construction seems to be the fastest to implement at the moment, and a few generals are echoing Pope Shirmelia not far behind, and she can directly send an order to the Vatino to mobilize the power of the Holy See.
From Harrigard all the way to Edin Island, the distance is more than 4,000 miles, even according to the fastest speed, it will take almost a month, and I am afraid that the entire Edin Island will become skeletons by then.
The anti-plagiarism is from the nearest port in Ruman, and it only takes four and a half days to reach Edin Island.
Archduke Julius and Lorraine smiled at the same time.
Lorraine waved his hand and said, "Don't think about this, we have the fastest means of transportation of our time." β
The generals scratched their heads in confusion, what was so powerful.
Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Grand Duke Julius smiled and said, "War Fortress~!"
Several generals slapped their heads, and everyone suddenly realized at the same time that with that thing, a journey of 4,000 miles may be a day and a night. It's just that the running cost of the war fortress is too expensive, and the magic spar that burns is more expensive than gold, and the wallet is slightly deflated and you can't afford to play this.
Lorraine said: "A few days ago, I had the Maple Leaf Danlin prepare the completed war fortress, and they are ready to go. β
From noon that day onwards, the telegraph station of the peacekeeping forces became more busy than ever.
The telegraph machine did not stop for even a moment.
Completely pushing the command of the front to Archduke Julian, Lorraine simply squatted in the telegraph station, waiting for first-hand news.
A telegram to Maple Leaf Danlin requesting the war fortress to be sent has been sent.
Lorenca only replied with one sentence: "Go now".
This simple first sentence made Lorraine suddenly feel a lot more relieved, although he didn't know the other yet, but he had at least become a confidant and was already invincible. All that remains is to be able to get rid of the enemy before they can inflict much damage on them. οΌοΌοΌ
