St. Vickya's army retreated quickly, and in a moment it was out of the protective range of White Rock City, and the Demon Moon Army also symbolically pursued it, but did not dare to pursue it too far. In less than 20 minutes of skirmishing, more than 200 bodies were left on the hillside outside the city, and the wounded soldiers were hospitalized in serious condition after being treated with field doctors.

"General Langdon. Seeing General Langdon coming, the person in charge of commanding the battle stepped forward and said, "The purpose of the enemy's attack this time is very clear, in addition to continuing to harass us, it is to destroy our only two remaining Tianlei Towers. ”

Another said: "I think the exhaustion tactic is still their main goal, and destroying our Tianlei Tower is their tactical goal to complete by the way." ”

Langdon waved his hand and asked, "If you don't talk about it now, what about the casualties?"

"The teams are already summarizing the casualties and will report on them soon. ”

Langdon said: "The supply team has just arrived, and a new batch of doctors and medical supplies has arrived, and they will be asked to deal with the wounded immediately. Besides, let the architects and engineering teams who came at once hurry up the repair of our damaged fortifications, and when they go out of the city to repair them, they must send people to protect them in case the people of St. Vickya make trouble. ”

"Great, the long-awaited supplies have finally arrived. Just now I was worried about the destruction of the Tianlei Tower, but now it's okay, the people on the other side of Santa Bikkya are busy in vain, haha. ”

At this time, an officer hurriedly ran to report and said: "Report to the general, our cavalry reinforcements have arrived, there are 2,000 people. ”

Everyone frowned, and they all had a feeling of unhappiness.

"Damn it, these damn St. Vic runners, they're so good. A colonel scolded: "They have calculated the time when the reinforcements will arrive between our two cities, and deliberately put on the appearance of a large-scale attack, so that they will be exhausted on the way to the reinforcements between the two cities." ”

Langdon grimaced for a moment before he said, "After you have dealt with these matters, inform all the brigadier generals and colonels who can be present to the meeting. ”

"Yes. ”

On the other side, on the mountain road in the Volkan Mountains, an army of more than 12,000 people marched mightily. These armies were neat and orderly, whether it was the black-striped war horses walking in front or the thousands of griffons flying in the air, they all maintained a relatively haode formation.

In the middle of the team, more than a dozen officers riding special magical beasts walked together, chatting without a word. Among them, an officer wearing blue-gray armor, orange shoulder pads, and an orange eagle head helmet and orange cloak stood out. The soldiers, whether they were walking in front or following behind, would turn their heads to look at him from time to time, not only because of the bright colors of his armor, but also because his rank was the highest in the ranks, Major General.

Maj. Gen. Orr Jodah was enough to attract the attention of the soldiers in the army, especially the female officers, who had respect and appreciation in their eyes. In the Demon Moon Empire, there are only a handful of people who can be promoted to major general in their early thirties, although his promotion has made those old officers have a lot of criticism, but in the Demon Moon Empire, the military rank is different from the title, and it is not a family background that can serve as a high-ranking officer.

However, although they kept looking at Jodah sideways, they refused to come near him, and their eyes were more focused on the sword at his waist, the sword that was still dancing with sparks even though it was hidden in its sheath.

The Dragon Flame Sword is a good sword, and it is also a famous sword, it is a sword made of the most haode hell iron iron, the sword is 241 cm long and weighs about 16.37 kg.

Even if you don't have to pull out the scabbard, you can feel the temperature on the sword, these soldiers, they are all curious about what this sword looks like, what kind of famous sword can make an army in their thirties be valued by a general, even Celt is no exception. People are always like this, and when they see others succeeding, they tend to focus on what they shine the most and ignore the efforts that these people put into making them successful.

Compared with the sideways glances of the officers and soldiers, Jodah seemed very calm, he rode on the mount as usual, and he was by no means thinking about fame and glory, only a truly pragmatic person could achieve greater success, and he was such a person.

Brigadier General Alan rushed from the front of the group, and he came to Jodah's side: "General, the sun is about to set, it's time to stop and eat something." ”,

"Well, let the soldiers rest in place and make a fire to cook. ”

The line quickly stopped, and then gathered in groups of ten in an orderly manner to wait for the cooks to prepare their food, some of whom had some biscuits with them, and they would eat them before dinner.

The food was quickly prepared, and it was difficult to pay attention to it during the march, and most of the food was ready-to-eat, such as salted fish and dried beef that had been marinated, and of course, milk.

The officers ate better, eating the same food as the soldiers, which is rare in the army of Demon Moon. Generals are already qualified to live better than soldiers because they put in more effort, and if you are not convinced, you can also be a general.

Jodah ate the fruit and asked, "Will you be able to reach White Rock City tomorrow?"

Brigadier General Alan said: "At the current speed, we can arrive around early tomorrow night." General ......"

"Say whatever you want. ”

Alan said: "General, aren't you worried? When General Ruer was appointed as the supreme commander of White Rock City, there were many veteran officers who were not convinced, aren't you worried that those generals in White Rock City are also not convinced? They are all under the famous generals, even though General Edward has died in battle, but because of this, they care more about who is the new supreme commander of them." To be honest, I'm afraid that if they know that a young major general like you is their commander, they will feel disgusted that they are not taken seriously enough by the base camp, and General Edward is a lieutenant general with great achievements. And now the temporary commander of White Rock City, General Langdon, is also a major general, and I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress them if you go to command. ”

Jodah nodded, "You've thought it through, it's really something to worry about. In fact, before leaving, General Ruhr talked to me about this, and he asked me to pay more attention. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

Jodah smiled very calmly: "I don't know, let's talk about it when we get there." ”

Alan sighed: "Actually, those old officers don't understand you and think that you are not qualified enough, in fact, we, the old subordinates of General Ruhr, know that you are a very capable person, but your reputation in the empire is not enough for them to accept it." ”

Joda said: "Don't talk about this, the most important thing now is how to solve the current crisis in White Rock City." Bring the map. ”

Maps and folded metal tables were soon moved. This is a map of the region, and only Idso, Volquay, and some of the surrounding areas are shown.

Jodah Zuihou ate the fruit in a few bites, threw away the pit and looked at the map.

Alan said: "On the opposite side of White Rock City is the main threat we face, the original Eighth Army of the Tenth Army of St. Vicia, the commander is Gness, with the rank of lieutenant general. Like you, he is also a Flame Seal Knight, formerly known as the 'Burning Ghost', and is currently known as one of the three true warriors of Santa Vickya, and one of the main planners involved in the ambush and killing of General Edward. He paused and said, "You are also a seal knight of the Yan system, and you are far worse than him in Shijie's reputation. ”

Joda smiled: "Hmph, I don't have any prestige on Shijie, I'm just not an unknown young general." ”

Alan said: "That's right, there is also the benefit of not having a reputation, at least it can make your enemies despise you even more, Shijie has a lot of straw bales with a great reputation." ”

"Guinness is not a straw bale, he is our rival right now. ”

Alan pointed to the ground group and said, "Their army should have about 30,000 people in its full strength, and it is currently divided into two parts, dealing with our White Rock City and Sandstone City to the west of White Rock City, and the nearest place to their camp is only 4 kilometers away from us. ”

"4 km, 4 km to do a lot every day. ”

White Rock City, conference room.

An officer held the report in his hand and said: "The casualty report is out, we have a total of 104 soldiers and officers killed, and 39 seriously wounded. Soldiers cleaning the battlefield found 127 enemy corpses. ”

A colonel said: "How can this be, weishenme our men will have so many casualties? We are defending the city, and the number of casualties is almost close to the enemy." ”

The officer said: "I asked many officers, and they said that the soldiers were too tired to show their combat effectiveness. In addition, the city defense facilities were almost completely destroyed, and the defense was limited. ”

The colonel sighed.

Langdon waved his hand for the reporting officer to go down, he looked at everyone in the room, and said, "You don't have to be too discouraged, I have some good news for you. Our supplies will arrive, and the medics and fortifications will soon be restored, as I think you all saw when you came. ”,

Some soldiers nodded: "It's good that the fortifications can be restored, the western city wall has been destroyed a lot by the enemy's magic rock cannons, and we have to repair them quickly, and our magic rock cannons are almost abandoned these days because of the lack of magic crystals and serious damage." ”

"What's the good news for the general? Is it that we have replenished our troops?" these words lifted the spirits of all the officers, and they looked at Langdon with anticipation.

Langdon smiled: "That's right, the base camp has replenished 12,000 soldiers for us, although the number is less, but the total number of our current people is 16,000 or 7." ”

The officers said with joy on their faces: "That's good, we are also an army here, and it's too shabby for us generals and academy officers to lead 5,000 people to fight." With 12,000 soldiers, the defense line on the other side of Sandstone City can be handed over to us, right?"

Langdon shook his head: "I don't know about this, and it didn't say it above. But I have good news, the new commander of our Seventh Army will also come with these 12,000 troops. ”

"Who is it? Is it the Dragon Soul Warlord Muto, or is it Charles, the Luminous Saint Thief?"

"It can't be Muto, Lieutenant General Muto has been leading the sub- and orc armies. It should be Lieutenant General Charles, he is a famous light magician, and he has been serving as a deputy in the army all these years, and this time it is his turn to take charge of the army. ”

"Yes, I think it's him, too. 4 years ago, in the western border of the empire, the battle with the Holy Gripen Empire was famous, and it didn't take a single soldier to 'steal' back the two cities from the hands of the Holy Gripen Empire to recover the country, which gave him the title of the Luminous Holy Thief. General Langdon, isn't he?"

Langdon shook his head and said, "No, it's General Orr Jodah." ”

"Orr Jodah?" "Officers, you look at me, I look at you: "I haven't heard of him, who is he?"

Langdon pushed a letter onto the table and said, "This is General Jodah's information, you can pass it on to each other." ”

The officers circulated among themselves, and suddenly someone shouted: "Thirty-one years old, major general, what are you kidding, how could such a person be sent from the base camp?"

The grumpy officer said, "Fucking little hairy boy, the rank is not enough, why should we be our commander." General Ruhr's mind is not wrong? ”

At this time, a person suddenly said, "I remember, I have seen this person." I remember him as a direct subordinate of General Ruhr, who had been following him all the way, and was promoted to Major General by the Empire before being transferred here from the western frontier of the Empire. ”

The grumpy officer slapped the table and scolded: "Grandma, isn't this a fake public and private person, using his own power to appoint a private person? A major general is not qualified to be the supreme commander of an army at all, and General Ruhr would do such a fucking bastard thing, does he want to turn our army into his own army?"

"Hey, you're overdoing it. Someone next to him pulled him.

"What are you pulling me for?" said the grumpy officer, standing up and saying, "I'm afraid of a bird, what do I say." We haven't even heard of the name of this Jodah, what military exploits he has made, why should we be our commanders, which of us here is not older than him, and the merit is not greater than him. If nothing else, if the Major General can also be the commander of an army, General Langdon will do, why let an outsider who does not know our army come. Maybe this guy's rank of major general was also obtained by his fucking relationship. How many armies are bad just by fucking nepotism, let such a person be my commander, I don't do it. ”

Langdon rebuked, "Sit down, don't talk nonsense. General Ruhr was a famous general of the empire and was deeply loved by the king, how could he do such a thing. Don't be cranky, General Ruhr was able to send General Jodah as our commander, which shows that General Jodah is a very capable person. ”

"Hmph. The grumpy officer sat down, but still unconvinced.

Langdon said, "The appointment has been made, so let's obey the order and prepare to meet him." Since he is our supreme ruler, we have to listen to him. ”
