Chapter 984： Controlled response

Hearing Rosetta’s answer, Pedinan fell into thought, as if after a long time he looked up and saw that the Tifeng ruler was standing there with a calm, water-like expression, It seems calmer than ever.

However, Peininan felt a ready force from the calm appearance of the other party-this force has been accumulated for many years, and even many people think that this force has disappeared with the passage of time, but At this moment, Pedenan suddenly discovered that it was still there, and never weakened.

Rosetta Augustus is both a cautious strategist and a shocking gambler-his courage is still as big as it was.

"This may turn into a gamble," Peinan said, but he didn't want to dissuade him. He just wanted to express his opinion. "Your Majesty, once the balance is out of control, we and the entire empire will be lost."

"We are already on the road to nowhere-it is not that we are pursuing a gamble, but that all vitality is already in this gamble," Rosetta suddenly smiled, "This is a destiny The coming crisis, and since it has already happened, we should find a way to turn it into an opportunity."

"...I will do my best," Peinan lowered his head after a moment of meditation, "also to make up for and wash away my shame this time."

"You know, it's not your fault... but now this is indeed what you will say."

Just then, a knock on the door suddenly came from a short distance, interrupting Rosetta and Pedinan's conversation.

Rosetta looked at the door: "Come in."

The door of the magic laboratory opened, and the dignified royal wizard association president Windsor Maple appeared at the door. She looked a little stunned after seeing Grand Duke Pedinan talking to Rosetta, and then nodded to the other party, then He hurried to Rosetta, his expression lingering, and he seemed to have something to say and had some scruples.

Rosetta looked at the legendary mage's expression and seemed to have guessed what the other party wanted to say. He turned to look at the Duke Pedinan next to him, then turned his eyes back and nodded slightly to Windsor Mappel: "What's the matter?" Just say it."

Windsor Maple gave Duke Pedenan a subconscious look, and after a short hesitation he said, "Your Majesty, the Communication Tower has just received the news, and the Winter Wolf Castle... has fallen."

Peidenan's breath was suddenly messy, and the old duke's body shook insignificantly, his fingers squeezed and released, and finally he couldn't help saying: "That Andersa..."

"General Andersa is not dead," Windsor Mapel said quickly, but instead hesitantly hesitated, "She... she was captured by the Cecil."

Duke Pedenan seemed slightly relieved, but his look quickly became quite complicated again: "Is it... was it caught by mistake?"

"No, she surrendered-with the entire Winter Wolf Knights and Black Flag Magicians and a large number of surviving soldiers from the standing corps surrendering," Windsor Maple gritted her teeth and said in a single breath. "The news is The Cecilians did not block relevant information from the Magisters Outpost in the Winter Castle area. Now the Winter Wolf Castle has raised the flag of the sword and plow, and the army of the Cecil Empire is constantly building fortifications around it."

"Vote..." Duke Peinan's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had been more shocked than when he heard the fall of Winterwolf. The expression on the old man's face was distorted and distorted, as if he heard the most incredible thing in the world. , "Surrendered?! And surrendered with two legions and countless standing troops? She surrendered with the entire Winterwolf defense?!"

The old wolf finally raised his tone gradually. It was the mood swings that only occurred after decades of perseverance in life and was hit by a headache. His face turned red, but his face did not know whether it was anger or sadness, as if the joy just now Before it could disperse, he was shocked by completely opposite emotions.

His emotions were so excited that even Windsor Maple, who was the president of the Royal Mage Association, couldn't help but step back a bit, and then she seemed to justify who he said: "There is information showing that Cecil People used an unprecedented war technique-they launched an attack from high altitude, and the power was amazing. They completely destroyed the large shield and outer city of Winterwolf in a short time. Only the castle survived the protection of the spare shield. In that case, the front has been unsustainable, and it doesn’t make sense to delay for a while..."

Peinan couldn't help saying loudly: "Then she should choose to evacuate! At least the main force of the legion..."

Halfway through his words, Rosetta suddenly put his hand on his shoulder: "If the Cecil really launched such an attack, I don't think Andersa has a chance to be trapped. The people in the castle withdrew safely."

Peinan stopped silently. He glanced at Rosetta Emperor, but he was shocked to see that the other person's face was actually smiling.

"I understand why you are so excited, Pei Di Nanqing," Rosetta said with a smile. "But to be honest, when I heard that Andesa chose to surrender in this situation, I felt more relieved."

Peinan didn't seem to understand the meaning of the other party's sentence for a while: "...What do you mean?"

"Andesa is sharper than you, perhaps because she is in the deepest part of the vortex, she saw the essence of the matter earlier," the smile on Rosetta's face became more obvious, "Pei Di Nanqing, it looks like you Slower than before."

Pedenan cooled down with excitement, his face showing a thoughtful look, and in thought, he heard the voice of Emperor Rosetta again: "Aren’t you happy about the safety of Andesa?" ?"

"I..." Pei Dinan opened his mouth, he hesitated, but finally could not help but sigh gently, "Hey, of course I am happy for this..."

"Perhaps history will prove that she is a hero-for a wolf general, choosing to give up honor may be more difficult than giving up life," Rosetta said lightly. "It's just that we must also do something quickly, The Cecil’s offensive ability is stronger than I expected, and I suspect that Gavin Cecil has not returned to the Loren mainland now, which may become the biggest variable... To be honest, I don’t trust except Gavin. Beyond Cecil, the ingenuity of anyone in the Cecilian empire."

Peinan nodded.

Then he looked at Rosetta, and hesitated for a few seconds. The former wolf general seemed to have fought a fierce fight, and finally he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, Andesa..."

Rosetta glanced at Grand Duke Pedinan, and finally smiled: "Relax, I will let her go home safely at all costs-every Tifeng soldier will go home safely."

...

Cecil’s flag fluttered high above the Winter Wolf Castle. The blue-stained sword and plow greeted the first ray of gold in the morning light, hunting and flying in the cold winter wind, and the original black of the Tifeng Empire The red flags have all been lowered-they were not thrown on the ground for trampling, but were properly collected under the command of the superior and packed and sent back to Changfeng as part of the loot.

Philip stepped into the fortress, and when he drove through the front portal that had collapsed into a huge gap, the young general suddenly felt a little dazed.

He never thought he would step into Winterwolf in this form. At least he never thought that this day would come so early-this sturdy fortress standing on the border of Tifeng is a special thing in the hearts of countless Cecil soldiers." "Symbol", from the time of the Ansu Kingdom to the age of the Empire, generations of generals and soldiers were alert to this fortress and regarded the army in the fortress as their greatest opponent and threat, but today... It was captured so easily.

Of course, it is not accurate to say "easy". Although the entire attack lasted only one day and night, and the process looked very smooth, but Cecil's mechanized army still encountered the most tenacious and most threatened since its formation in front of this fortress. Counterattack. The Tifeng’s strategic spells caused a lot of casualties, and the short but tenacious resistance of the Winter Wolf Corps and the Black Flag Magician Corps when they finally attacked the inner city also shocked the first-line commanders. To be honest, if not The fighting power of the defenders of Winterwolf was cut sharply, coupled with their lack of familiarity with Cecil's "new tactics", this battle could never be so easy.

But on the battlefield, if you don’t say "if", no matter how powerful the soldier fell, it was just a corpse. On this stage, which only talks about the results, the Cecil has the upper hand.

The outer city was covered with bricks, smoke was billowing, and the air bombardment penetrated the shield, causing far more than expected results. Almost all the places where the bomb had been baptized were turned into ruins, and the fires ignited everywhere until the sun rose. The time is still not extinguished. It is said that some of the fires were released by the Tifeng defenders themselves-the purpose was to deter Cecil soldiers who entered the city, and from the results, they cannot be said to be completely useless.

The magic car passed through the bumpy outer city, entered the relatively intact inner city, and drove towards the more intact castle.

Philip’s eyes looked through a car window and saw many disarmed Tifeng soldiers lined up for registration. After preliminary statistics, these Tiffins would be scattered and sent to several prisoners of war in the rear. In the battalion-Cecil's army has always been familiar with receiving a large number of prisoners of war and quickly constructing accommodation facilities for them-and after entering the prisoner of war camp, it is the first step in the "harmless treatment" of these Tifeng people.

Technicians will find ways to identify the pollution suffered by these soldiers and give various solutions. At the same time, these soldiers will also become valuable research samples. The data collected from them will be used for mortals. the future of.

The adjutant sat in the seat next to Philip. He also looked out of the window. After seeing the Tifeng soldiers who were lined up honestly, the young officer from the southern border couldn't help but ask: "General, you said that How many people are polluted? How many people are kept awake?"

"...I had previously judged that the entire Winter Wolf Castle had been completely controlled by the spiritual pollution of the gods," Philip said, shaking his head gently. "But after the surrender of the "wolf general", I doubt that we have The judgments of the Winter Wolf Castle are all deviated... It is still too early to consider Tifeng as a disaster-polluted area. As for the proportion of pollution in it... then I can’t tell clearly, this It depends on the results of the subsequent technical appraisal."

"It's incredible," the adjutant looked out of the window with some surprise. "These Tifeng people are so quiet that they can't see the symptoms of mental pollution at all... if it's not that we randomly selected a few people from inside, use our minds The double identification of protective runes and'human barriers' really found out the pollution. I can't believe that the spiritual structure of these people has actually changed...how can they cooperate so?"

"Not all spiritual pollution will turn people into muddled monsters. Sometimes sober and rational thinking may also be the result of spiritual pollution," Philip said. "For God of War, he is only looking for war at the moment, and For war... Combat is part of the war, surrender is part of the war, assault is part of the war, and becoming a prisoner of war is part of the war. The war is a war, and the truce after the war is even an'element' of war-in these In the absence of major conflicts in basic conditions, it is quite normal for the infected people with less pollution to behave quietly and cooperate."

"General, you really know a lot."

"You should read more books in your spare time, and read in all fields-this is good for you."

During the conversation, the magic car had already passed the front courtyard of the castle, and after crossing the well-preserved gate, Philip finally came to the core area of ​​the fortress.

After getting out of the car, he only brought the most trusted follower. Under the guidance of the soldiers who led the way, he finally saw the highest commander of Winterwolf, the wolf general who chose to surrender.

She leaned on a soft slump, bandages all over her body, and mottled blood stains leaked out of the cloth strips. It looked shocking. Philip noticed that the other person’s left eye was even wrapped in a circle. The blood bandages also oozed out of the bandage, and the red was more dazzling than the pale face on his face.

Philip's footsteps could not help but pause.

He remembered seeing this general Wolf, and his opponent at that time was heroic.

Destiny is really a joke.

Then he looked at Andesa again-a chair was lying next to the soft slump, and a young lady in an armoured nun costume and docile blonde shawl was sitting there, she seemed to be low Started to read a book seriously, while a combat "staff" with a light impact gun component leaned quietly against the wall next to it.

An armed nun... No, not an armed nun. Philip noticed the golden lines on the opponent's gloves and alloy armor, and determined that this should be a "war nun" at a higher level than the armed nun.

It should be one of the army priests who came to take care of the wolf general who was seriously injured.

Judging from the blood stains on the combat staff and the mottled wear on the opponent's glove surface, this should be a loyal and respectable sister.

Unfaithful, the kind that can punch a dead cow.
