Blue Sword

"The Knight Squad was killed?" Alfred sat on the chair in despair, "Those people are not dead?"

"Not only that, we just learned new news a few minutes ago that a mortar unit in the northern part of the central defense zone has been silent." Adjutant Longfellow said expressionlessly, "It seems that this team has penetrated the northern defense line. , infiltrated into the mortar team’s station.”

"Where's Erich?" Alfred asked quickly, "Has Mr. Erich sent any contact?"

Longfellow was silent.

Of course, there was contact. Mortar commander Erich scolded Alfred in the communication and asked him why he allowed the enemy team to penetrate through the front line when he had already provided fire support. There were casualties among the precious artillery lads.

If captured mortar shells land from above Olin City in tomorrow's battle, Erich swears that he will scold Alfred in front of Bernie Fashion and scold all the eighteen generations of his ancestors. Bloody nozzle.

Of course, there was no need to repeat these curse words to Alfred.

Adjutant Longfellow thought for a moment and replied:

"Her Excellency Erich replied: Don't be nervous, you'll be fine, you played well."

Alfred:………………

"Don't lie to me." He smiled bitterly, "That old man must have scolded me several times."

"The key point now is that this team that broke into the mortar garrison must be dealt with, otherwise the mortar troops will suffer greater casualties." Adjutant Longfellow changed the subject and got down to business.

"However, the only manpower left on the northern defense line is already stretched to maintain the defense line itself from being penetrated by subsequent troops." Alfred said calmly, "Report to the higher ups."

"It seems that we alone cannot solve the trouble we have caused."

Soon, an order came from His Majesty Boniface, ordering the Northern Front Commander Alfred to be dismissed on the spot, and the king's sword guard, Viscount Joel Grafford, took over.

"It's actually that guy Joel." Alfred lay dejectedly on the command chair, his expression a little defeated, "What a pity, this guy is the last thing I want to see."

"However, even if Joel takes over my position, he won't be able to deal with that tricky elite team, right?" He laughed at himself as if he was having fun, "I'm just waiting to see the distress and irritation on Joel's face. Show your expression."

As soon as he finished speaking, new news came from the communications officer:

The small team that penetrated the mortar defense zone returned from the original route and left the battlefield.

Alfred:……………………

"Shit!" He angrily overturned the entire command table.

——————

Everyone from Cang Qing Sword returned home with the captured mortars and ammunition boxes.

Although they returned home with a full load, they didn't have much in their hands - everything was piled up on Fire Island.

The reason for the temporary retreat was because Asker did not want to continue to cause trouble and become the target of the Crusaders.

Although they have become the target of public criticism on the Northern Front of the Crusaders... On the way back, the other knight squads basically pretended not to see the Cang Qing Sword people and just stayed away from these killing gods.

Therefore, everyone was happy to return to the city safely. Anyway, the trip had already yielded a lot.

Arriving at the entrance of the tunnel, Ask asked the girls to move things out from the Fire Island, and then sent Medea into the tunnel to notify the defenders to come out and move things.

"Everyone should act tired!" Ask encouraged everyone, "Pretend that we personally carried these military supplies!"

Everyone was speechless. Such a large number of boxes were piled here. Who would believe it? We are not strong men!

Even so, the girls still obeyed Asker's words and sat casually on the ground or on the boxes with expressions like "I'm in trouble, I'm under a lot of pressure."

When the defenders in the tunnel rushed out, they saw mortars and shell boxes piled neatly on the ground, and they were so frightened that their eyes almost popped out.

so much!

Did you rob the Crusaders' logistics troops or something? How many artillery units have to be killed!

Without further ado, the defenders quickly notified everyone, and soon the chief of security, Quintus, was also alerted.

Looking at the military supplies piled up in the fortress, Quintus couldn't help but change his expression.

In the past, the Imperial Orthodox Church has strictly controlled the industrial development and arms trade of Olin City. As a result, there are only a very old batch of mortars and rocket launchers in the warehouse of Olin City, and they have basically been taken out for counterattack.

With the addition of this batch of arms and ammunition, it means that even ordinary people's city defense troops can join the war, and those mages who have been fighting for more than ten hours can also have a good rest.

"By God, you are the saviors of Olympia City!" Even though he was always proud of himself, he couldn't help but hold Asker's hand at this time, and shook it vigorously with emotion.

"It's okay, being hired is a matter of loyalty." Asik took his hand out of his grasp, "After all, we are professional mercenaries."

Seeing her uncle being so gloomy from the side, Silla couldn't help but want to laugh and be moved at the same time.

"You are the last group to come back. Of course, you are also the group with the most outstanding military exploits." In the elevator going up, Quintus praised everyone again and again, even the girls felt a little embarrassed.

"What are the results of other teams?" Asker asked.

"It's not ideal." Quintus shook his head. "The Crusaders were obviously on guard against our attacks out of the city. They set up heavy defense lines in the north, northeast and northwest. In the end, we only made a breakthrough on the northern defense line. "

"As far as the specific time is concerned, it should be because you greatly consumed the strength of the northern defense line that the subsequent mercenaries were able to penetrate. Even so, you still stayed in the Crusader artillery garrison area the longest. The mercenary unit that has the greatest damage to siege positions."

"Others either suffered too many casualties or found that they could not continue to advance, so they finally chose to withdraw from the battlefield early." Quintus sighed, "Only the Spartans led by Rudasius, after passing through the northern front Wandered to the northwest area and killed some artillery enemies."

"But just come back without bringing anything."

"I understand." Ask nodded and said, "The Spartan custom is to bring back the bodies of compatriots who died in battle first."

"Yes." Quintus said, "They are holding a funeral in the arena on the top floor. In addition, the Crusaders sent some 'things' over at noon, which has caused the mood of the citizens in the city to be very unstable."

"After the funeral, my father hopes to hold a celebration parade to commemorate your achievements this time, so that the citizens who share the same hatred can have a vent."

"You said the Crusaders sent something?" Ask asked, "What is it?"

Quintus visibly hesitated, a light haze creeping onto his cheeks.

"Heads," he finally answered, "a thousand heads, all citizens of Thessaloniki."
