The first thousand three hundred and two chapters
Five days later—
"Is it His Highness the Princess?"
"Yes, this is the news that the command center just received. The specific number of people is still under verification, but it should be at least more than 600 people."
"The garrison of Fengxiao Fort has been carried out for shelter, and they should move from land to Wudong City after resting."
"No, this is what we should do."
"Thank you for your hard work, please have a good rest."
After Etis finished reporting, he hung up the microphone steadily.
As the highest level of communication method at present, hand-cranked telephones have become an indispensable equipment for the General Staff. They are limited by transmission distance. Currently, the only thing that can directly connect to the mountain highlands is the Air Knight Camp outside Jingthorn Town.
As soon as she turned around, she saw the third brother, Lance Kant, who looked surprised.
"Is there anything wrong?"
Unlike her second brother Cole, Enteris used her relationship to directly transfer Lance, who had passed the primary education assessment, to the General Staff Department. Considering that her third brother's temperament was more casual, she thought it was more appropriate to see it.
Of course, this also makes it easier for her to appreciate the other person's pain when encountering frustration.
"Ah... no, nothing, I'm just a little surprised. It turns out that you'll be respectful to others, elder sister." Lance walked up with a stack of documents in his arms, "Even if you talk to your father, you've never been so polite."
"I thought your brain capacity would increase slightly when you become an adult." Enteris said disapprovingly, "It is because his father will not do anything to me, but Tilly Wimbledon is His Majesty Roland's sister. If she mentioned my rudeness in front of her brother, what would you think the future of Kant's family would be like?"
"But I always feel that you are not so serious to Your Majesty himself..."
"Because Your Majesty is a male, taking the initiative occasionally can produce miraculous effects."
"Uh...I don't quite understand..."
"The human heart is the highest level of strategy, and it is normal not to understand it," Itis shrugged, "Even if you have a lot of skills, you still cannot become the ultimate winner without understanding it."
"Sister, can you teach me?" Lance asked expectantly.
"Of course," Itis glanced at him with interest, "but it is most effective to try anything personally than just teaching. For example, Cole did a very good job in this regard. How about you, do you want to try it?"
Lans suddenly felt a chill coming to his heart, and he swallowed when he thought of his brother's appearance at home, "That... I'd better wait."
Northland Pearl withdrew its gaze, "You decide for yourself."
For example, Lance, who was amnesty, quickly changed the topic, "By the way, are you calling Your Highness to report on the safe arrival of the refugees?"
Itis nodded, "After all, His Highness Tilly explained this to the General Staff as soon as he came back, so of course he had to inform her as soon as possible."
The entire rescue operation exceeded everyone's expectations. The Sky Knight not only rushed to the battlefield two hundred kilometers away in just over an hour, saving a large number of refugees, but also defeated the devil's tricks in one fell swoop.
Yes, this is not an ordinary hunt. Judging from the clues obtained afterwards, refugees are probably just bait thrown by the enemy, and the real fatal blow is hidden behind the pursuit team.
What if the First Army really sent a rescue team to the reception?
Due to the poor weather and the journey is too long, if you want to arrive quickly, you must go into battle lightly and travel day and night. In order to extend the pursuit time as much as possible, the devil is completely waiting for it. When the two sides collide, the rescue team will find that they are not only facing enemy troops with a number of no less than their own, but also resisting attacks from terrifying beasts.
Even if you retreat immediately, you have to travel nearly a hundred kilometers in the wind and snow. How many people can escape in the end? I'm afraid there will be no one.
This is the first test made by the devil in the full contraction of the First Army.
Even if the latter ignored the refugees or did not discover the pursuit north of Fengxiao Castle at all, there would be no loss to the devil.
They probably have noticed that there is an essential difference between the Graycastle Man and the Wolf Heart and the Yongdong Man. No matter how many locals are killed, they will not have any impact on the outcome of the Battle of Divine Will. Every time a rescue team is destroyed, the power of humanity will be weakened by one point.
But the appearance of the Sky Knight caught the ambush off guard.
Everything was quite like the Wangbei slope artillery battle a year ago. The enemy and the First Army made their own judgments, but the results were very different.
Even if Tilly did not find another enemy army hidden behind, the situation of the battle would not change.
In the end, the flight team returned safely, and the fugitive refugees were lucky enough to escape, which could be regarded as a great victory.
"The Sky Knight is so amazing..." Lance sighed, "not only did he kill dozens of mad demons, but he also escaped without being surrounded by troops on all sides. Even the Holy Blessing Army of the Federation in the past would be difficult to do this, right?"
"Yes, it's amazing."
After breathing a sigh of relief, Itis stood his legs on the table and leaned slowly on the back of the chair, feeling a little excited.
Lance was stunned, "You seem... a little unhappy?"
"I can't say I'm unhappy, I just feel that... the General Staff will soon become a decoration."
"Eh?" The third brother widened his eyes.
"Four Sky Fire can force more than 200 devils to retreat. What if the First Army has 100, or even 1,000 Sky Fire?" Itis smiled, "Then just say, send the Air Knights wherever there is an enemy situation. Strategy and calculations will become meaningless, and anyone will say the previous sentence, if it reaches this point, what is the General Staff not a decoration?"
In fact, when she first saw this free-flying machine, she realized the huge military potential it contained. What she talked about with Roland the most was about the use of the Air Knight. She even built a team dedicated to the Air Force tactics in the General Staff team to maximize the use of this new weapon.
However, when it really shone brightly in the first battle, Northland Pearl felt a little regretful.
Because the advantages of the Air Knights are too obvious, the importance of strategy has been reduced. In the era of the Knights, there were great concerns in the deployment of troops and tactics, but now it has undoubtedly simplified a lot - because the Air Force has the advantage of vision, the battlefield intelligence can become transparent, and at the same time, it has strong maneuverability, which is enough to block the entire combat area.
In other words, as long as you can occupy the sky, you can completely grasp the enemy's every move, while the enemy's situation is completely opposite. It is almost pitch black when facing the situation. It is difficult to respond effectively except for being passively beaten.
Not to mention His Majesty also revealed that the Sky Fire has only just started, which is equivalent to the flintlock rifle compared to the current Mark.
"If that's the case...we'll go back to Eternal Night City," Lance whispered.
"I'm afraid it's too late," Itise chuckled. "I'm afraid I've offended many people to be able to sit in this seat. Do you think those people will let me enjoy the rest of my life?"
Of course she knew that if the person in power was Roland, nothing would have happened, but she never feared estimating fate with the worst possible, because those malicious words can always hurt others.
"I will... protect you." Lance said, biting his lip.
"What depends? It depends on your current status and ability? If you can't climb a high position, you'd better say less such empty words." She felt a sense of pleasure, "Otherwise the result will only be worse, such as those enemies in front of you, put me-"
Itis suddenly closed his mouth.
Footsteps sounded outside the room, and soon Feilin Silter pushed the door and walked in.
"Sir, you're here..."
"Why, new information is delivered?"
"If so, that's great," Fu Xiaochenguang showed a headache expression. "I just checked the material requirements list of the Sky Knight Training Camp. I'm afraid that the logistics plan for the near future will have to be re-compiled."
"oh?"
"You may not know yet that they have used nearly 10,000 bullets in the past few days, which does not include the consumption during the formal attack." Feilin said distressedly, "There are only twenty or thirty students in total, and this demand is worth the expense of ten classes in the Musket Battalion! Not to mention the reserves of fuel, aircraft parts, etc. I think if their number doubles a few times, how can the logistics be taken care of... Uh, sir?"
Lance suddenly realized that the laziness on his sister's body had been wiped out at some point.
Itis stood up from his seat and replied lightly, "You will take the lead in doing this work. You must ensure the supply of the Air Knight in any case." Then she looked at Lance, "What are you doing when you are still stunned?"
"Yes?" The latter failed to come back to his senses.
