Hearing Rosetta's answer, Ferdinand fell into thinking. It seemed like a long time had passed before he raised his head and saw the ruler of Typhon standing with a calm expression. There, it seemed calmer than ever.
However, Pei Dinan felt a kind of power that was ready to go out from under the other party's calm appearance - this power had been accumulated for many years, and many people even thought that this power had faded over time. It died with the passage of time, but at this moment, Pei Dinan suddenly discovered that it was still there and had never weakened at all.
Rosetta Augustus, both a cautious strategist and an astonishing gambler - is still as bold as ever.
"This may turn into a huge gamble," Pei Dinan couldn't help but said, but it was not to dissuade anything, he just wanted to express his opinion, "Your Majesty, once the balance is out of control, we and the entire The empire will be doomed."
"We are already on the road to doom--it's not that we are pursuing a big gamble, but that all our lives are already in this big gamble," Rosse said. Ta suddenly showed a smile, "This is a crisis that is destined to come, and now that it has happened, we should find ways to turn it into an opportunity."
"...Then I will Do your best," Pei Dinan lowered his head after pondering for a moment, "to make up for and wash away my shame this time."
"You know, all this is not your fault...but now. This is indeed what you would say."
At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly came from not far away, interrupting the conversation between Rosetta and Ferdinand.
Rosetta looked at the door: "Come in."
The door of the magic laboratory opened, and Windsor Mapel, the dignified president of the Royal Mage Association, appeared at the door. She looked a little surprised when she saw Archduke Ferdinand talking to Rosetta, then nodded to him, and then quickly came to Rosetta. His expression was hesitant, as if he had something to say. scruples.
Rosetta looked at the legendary mage's expression and seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say. He first turned to look at Duke Ferdinand next to him, and then turned back to Windsor Mapel. Nodding slightly: "Just tell me if you have anything."
Windsor Mapel glanced at Duke Ferdinand subconsciously, and after a brief hesitation, he said: "Your Majesty, the communication tower has just received the news. Wolfsburg...has fallen."
Pedinan's breathing suddenly became messy, and the old Duke's body shook slightly. He squeezed and released his fingers, but finally couldn't help it. Said: "Then Andersa..."
"General Andersa is not dead," Windsor Mapel said quickly, but her expression was even weirder and hesitant than before, "She...she was... The Cecils were captured."
Duke Ferdinand seemed slightly relieved, but his expression soon became quite complicated: "Did he... get captured by mistake?"
"No, she surrendered—surrendered with the entire Winter Wolf Knights and the Black Flag Wizards, as well as a large number of surviving standing regiment soldiers," Windsor Mapel gritted her teeth. He simply said in one breath, "The news was sent back from the mage post in the Winter Fort area. The Cecil people did not block the relevant information. Now Winter Wolf Castle has raised the flag of sword and plow, and the Cecil Empire's troops are constantly Build more fortifications around it. "
"Vote..." Duke Ferdinand's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had been hit even harder than when he heard about the fall of Winter Wolf Castle just now. The expression on the old man's face was strange and twisted, as if Heard the most incredible thing in the world, “Surrender? ! And surrendered with two legions and countless standing corps? She surrendered with the entire Winter Wolf Castle defense line? ! ”
The old wolf finally raised his voice gradually. It was an emotional fluctuation that only occurred after decades of perseverance in life were hit head-on. His face turned red, but his expression did not know that it was anger. Still sad, as if the joy just now had no time to dissipate, and he was completely shocked by the completely opposite emotion.
His emotions were so excited that even Windsor, who is the president of the Royal Mage Association, was shocked. Mapel couldn't help but stepped back a little, and then she said as if she wanted to defend someone: "Intelligence shows that the Cecil people used unprecedented warfare technology - they launched attacks from high altitudes, which were shockingly powerful. , the large shield and outer city of Winter Wolf Castle were completely destroyed in a short period of time. Only the castle survived under the protection of the backup shield. In that case, the front line could no longer be maintained, and there was no point in delaying it for a moment..."< /p>
Pei Dinan couldn't help but said loudly: "Then she should choose to evacuate! At least the main force of the legion can be..."
As soon as he was halfway through his words, Rosetta's hand suddenly rested on his shoulder: "If the Cecil people really launched such a Attack, I don't think Andersa has a chance to safely evacuate with the people trapped in the castle. "
Pedinan stopped speechlessly. He glanced at Emperor Rosetta, but was shocked to see a smile on his face.
"I understand. Why are you so excited, Mr. Petinan," Rosetta said with a smile, "But to be honest, when I heard that Andesa chose to surrender in this situation, I felt a little relieved. "
Pei Dinan seemed not to understand the profound meaning of the other party's words for a while: "...What do you mean? "
"Andesa is keener than you, perhaps because she was in the deepest part of the whirlpool, and she saw the essence of this matter earlier," the smile on Rosetta's face became more obvious. , "Pei Dinanqing, it seems that you are slower than before. "
Pedinan cooled down from his excitement, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. While he was thinking, he heard the voice of Emperor Rosetta coming again: "You don't do it for me. Are you happy that Andesa is safe? "
"I..." Pei Dinan opened his mouth, he hesitated, but finallyCouldn't help but sigh softly, "Hey, of course I'm happy about this..."
"Perhaps history will prove that she is a hero - for a wolf general, choosing to give up honor may It is a more difficult thing than giving up life," Rosetta said lightly, "but we must also take some measures quickly. The offensive capability of Cecil's army is stronger than I expected, and I doubt that Gawain Cecil I haven’t returned to the Loren continent yet, which will probably become the biggest variable... To be honest, I don’t trust the wisdom of anyone in the Cecil Empire’s ruling body except Gawain Cecil.”
Pei Dinan nodded.
Then he looked at Rosetta and seemed a little hesitant for a few seconds. The former wolf general seemed to have had a fierce struggle in his heart, and finally couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Andesa..."
Rosetta glanced at Archduke Ferdinand and finally smiled: "Don't worry, I will let her go home safely at all costs - every Typhon soldier will Return home safely."
......
Cecil's flag flew high over Winter Wolf Castle, and the sword and plow with blue background and gold pattern faced the morning light. The first ray of gold is flying in the cold wind of winter, and the original black and red flags of the Typhon Empire have all been lowered - they are not thrown on the ground for people to trample on, but are properly placed under the orders of superiors. Collected it and packed it back to Changfeng as part of the loot.
Philip stepped into the fortress. When he drove through the front portal that had collapsed into a huge gap, the young general felt suddenly in a trance.
He never thought that he would step into Winter Wolf Castle in this way, at least he never thought that this day would come so early - this strong fortress standing on the border of Typhon is the home of countless Sisi It is a special "symbol" in the hearts of our soldiers. From the Ansu Kingdom era to the present empire era, generations of generals and soldiers have been wary of this fortress, viewing the troops in the fortress as their biggest opponents and threats. However, Today... this fortress 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 seemed to go smoothly, Cecil's mechanized army still encountered an army in front of this fortress. The most tenacious and threatening counterattack ever. The Typhons' strategic spells caused a lot of casualties. The short but tenacious resistance of the Winter Wolf Legion and the Black Flag Magician Group during the final attack on the inner city also shocked the frontline commanders. To be honest, if it weren't for The combat effectiveness of the Winter Wolf Castle defenders was suddenly cut in half, and coupled with their lack of familiarity with Cecil's "new tactics," this battle would never be so easy.
But there is no "if" on the battlefield. No matter how powerful the warrior is, he is just a corpse after falling. On this stage where only results are important, the Cecil people have the upper hand.
The outer city was littered with broken bricks and thick smoke billowing. The aerial bombing caused far greater results than expected after penetrating the shield. The bomb hadAlmost all the places that had been baptized were reduced to ruins, and the fires that broke out everywhere were still not extinguished when the sun rose. It is said that some of those fires were set by the Typhon garrison themselves - the purpose was to block Cecil's soldiers entering the city, and judging from the results, it cannot be said that their actions were completely useless.
The magic vehicle passed through the bumpy outer city, entered the relatively intact inner city, and headed towards the more intact castle.
Philip looked through the car window and saw many disarmed Typhon soldiers lining up to be registered. After preliminary statistics and registration, these Typhon soldiers will be dispersed. Sent to several prisoner of war camps in the rear - Cecil's army has always been familiar with receiving large numbers of prisoners of war and quickly building holding facilities for them - and after entering the prisoner of war camps, these Typhons were "harmless treated" "The first step.
Technicians will find ways to identify the contamination suffered by these soldiers and provide various solutions. At the same time, these soldiers will also become valuable research samples, and the data collected from them will be sorted out. The data will definitely be used in the future of mortals.
The adjutant sat on the seat next to Philip. He also looked out the window. After seeing the Typhon soldiers lining up obediently, this young officer from the southern border couldn't help but ask: "General, how many people here are contaminated? How many people are awake?"
"...I previously judged that the entire Winter Wolf Castle has been completely controlled by the spiritual pollution of the gods. ," Philip said, shaking his head slightly, "But after that 'Wolf General' surrendered on his own initiative, I suspect that our judgment of Typhon and Winter Wolf Castle has been biased... Now we regard Typhon as a god. I'm afraid it's still too early to say what the proportion of pollution is... I can't tell. It depends on the subsequent technical appraisal results."
"It's incredible. ," the adjutant looked out the window and said with some surprise, "These Typhons are so quiet, and they don't show any symptoms of mental pollution... If we hadn't randomly selected a few people from them and used mental protection runes. The double identification with the 'Human Barrier' really found the contamination. I can't believe that the mental structure of these people has actually mutated... How can they be so cooperative?"
"Not all spirits are there? Pollution can turn people into confused monsters, and sometimes clear and rational thinking may also be the result of mental pollution," Philip said. "For the God of War, what he is looking for at this moment is just war, and for war... Combat is a part of war, surrender is also a part of war, charging into battle is a part of war, becoming a prisoner of war is also a part of war, starting a war is a war, and a cessation after the war is started is even an 'element' of war - there is no major conflict under these basic conditions Under such circumstances, it is quite normal for infected persons with low levels of contamination to be quiet and cooperative."
"General, you really know a lot."
" You should have more free timeRead books, in all fields - it will do you good. ”
During the conversation, the magic vehicle had already passed through the front courtyard of the castle. After passing through the well-preserved gate, Philip finally arrived at the core area of the fortress.
Next After getting out of the car, he only brought his most trusted entourage. Under the leadership of the leading soldiers, he finally met the supreme commander of Winter Wolf Castle, General Wolf, who chose to surrender.
She leaned against him. There were bandages on many parts of the body, and mottled blood seeped out from the strips of cloth. It looked shocking. Philip noticed that the other person's left eye was even wrapped with circles of bandages. There was also blood oozing out there, and compared with the pale complexion on his face, the red color was even more dazzling.
Phillip couldn't help but pause.
He remembered that he had. He had seen this wolf general, and he was so heroic at that time.
Destiny is really a trick.
Then he looked at Andesa's body. Beside - there is a chair placed next to the soft chair. A young lady wearing an armed nun's costume and a smooth blond shawl is sitting there. She seems to be reading a book carefully with her head lowered. A combat "staff" with a holy light blaster component was quietly leaning against the wall next to it.
An armed nun... No, not an armed nun. Philip noticed the opponent's gloves. and the golden lines on the alloy armor piece, judging that this should be a "war nun" who is a higher level than the armed nuns.
It should be one of the priests accompanying the army, coming to take care of the seriously injured one. General Wolf's.
Judging from the blood stains on the battle staff and the mottled wear on the surface of the opponent's gloves, this must be a loyal and respectable sister.
The kind that can kill a cow with one punch.
