Chapter 984 Controllable Response

Hearing Rosetta's answer, Ferdinand fell into thought, as if it had been a long time before he raised his head and saw that Typhon's ruler was standing there with a calm expression like water, It seemed calmer than ever.

However, Pedinan felt a kind of power ready to go under the calm appearance of the other party - this power has been accumulated for many years, and even many people think that this power has died out with the passage of time, but At this moment, Pedinan suddenly discovered that it was still there, and it had never weakened in the slightest.

Rosetta Augustus, prudent strategist and astonishing gambler - is still as bold as ever.

"This may turn into a big gamble," Pei Dinan couldn't help but said, but not to discourage anything, he just wanted to express his opinion, "Your Majesty, once the balance is out of control, we and the entire empire will be doomed."

"We're already on the road to doom - it's not that we're chasing a big gamble, but that all life is already in this gamble," Rosetta suddenly smiled, "This is a doomed gamble. A crisis is coming, and now that it has happened, we should find a way to turn it into an opportunity.”

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

"You know, it's not your fault...but it's certainly something you would say now."

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 the dignified president of the Royal Mages Association, Windsor Maple, appeared at the door. She looked a little stunned when she saw the Archduke Ferdinand who was talking to Rosetta, and then nodded to the other party, then He walked quickly to Rosetta, his expression was hesitant to say anything, as if he had something to say and hesitating.

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

Windsor Maple glanced at Duke Ferdinand subconsciously, and after a brief hesitation, she said, "Your Majesty, the communication tower has just received news that Winter Wolf Castle... has fallen."

Ferdinand's breathing was suddenly messy, and the old duke's body swayed imperceptibly. He squeezed his fingers and let go. In the end, he couldn't help but say, "Then Andersa..."

"General Andersa is not dead,

"Windsor Maple said quickly, but her expression became more strange and hesitant than before. "She... she was captured by the Cecil. "

Duke Ferdinand seemed to be slightly relieved, but his expression soon became quite complicated: "Is it... missed and captured?"

"No, she surrendered—with the entire Winter Wolf Knights and the Black Flag Wizards and a large number of surviving Standing Corps soldiers," Windsor Maple gritted her teeth and said simply, "The news is It was sent back from the Mage Outpost in the Winterhold area, and the Cecilians did not block relevant information, and now the flag of Sword and Plow has been raised in Winter Wolffort, and the army of the Cecil Empire is constantly building fortifications around it."

"Throw..." Duke Ferdinand's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had been hit harder than when he heard the fall of Winter Wolf Castle. The expression on the old man's face was weird and distorted, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world. , "Surrendered?! And surrendered with two legions and countless standing corps? She surrendered with the entire Winter Wolf Fort defense line?!"

The old wolf finally raised his tone gradually. It was a mood swing after decades of perseverance in life and a head-on attack. His face was flushed red, but he didn't know whether it was anger or sadness. Before he had time to disperse, he was shocked by completely opposite emotions.

His emotions were so excited that even Windsor Maple, the president of the Royal Mages Society, couldn't help but step back a little, and then she seemed to be defending someone and said: "There is information that Cecil People used unprecedented warfare techniques-they launched attacks from high altitudes with amazing power, and completely destroyed the large shield and outer city of Winter Wolf Castle in a short period of time, only the castle survived under the protection of the backup shield. , in that case the front has become unsustainable, and there is no point in delaying for a while..."

Pei Dinan couldn't help but said loudly: "Then she should choose to evacuate! At least the main force of the legion can be..."

Just halfway through his words, Rosetta's hand suddenly rested on his shoulder: "If the Cecil really launched such an attack, I don't think Andersa would have a chance to take the trapped The people in the castle are evacuated safely."

Pedinan stopped speechlessly. He glanced at Emperor Rosetta, but was shocked to see that the other party had a smile on his face.

"I understand why you are so excited, Sir Pedinan," Rosetta said with a smile, "but to be honest, when I heard that Andersa chose to surrender in this situation, I felt a little relieved."

Pei Dinan didn't seem to understand the deep meaning of the other party's words for a while: "...What do you mean?"

"Andersa is more sensitive than you, perhaps because she was in the deepest part of the vortex, she saw the essence of this matter earlier," Rosetta's smile became more obvious, "Qing Pei Dinan, it seems that you Slower than before."

Ferdinand cooled from his excitement, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and while thinking about it, he heard the voice of Emperor Rosetta come again: "Aren't you happy for Andersa's safety? ?"

"I..." Pei Dinan opened his mouth, he hesitated, but in the end he couldn't help but sighed softly, "Hey, of course I'm happy about it..."

"Maybe 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, "but we must also do something quickly, The offensive ability of Cecil's army is stronger than I expected, and I suspect that Gawain Cecil has not returned to Loren Continent yet, which may become the biggest variable... To be honest, I don't trust Gawain. The ingenuity of anyone in the ruling establishment of the Cecil Empire, other than Cecil."

Ferdinand nodded.

Then he looked at Rosetta and seemed hesitant for a few seconds. The former wolf general seemed to have had a fierce struggle in his heart, and finally he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, Andersa she..."

Rosetta glanced at Archduke Ferdinand and finally laughed: "Don't worry, I will do whatever it takes to get her home safely - every Typhon soldier will go home safely."

...

Cecil's flag fluttered high above the Winter Wolf Castle. The sword and plow with gold patterns on a blue background greeted the first ray of gold in the morning light, hunting and flying in the cold winter wind, while the original black of the Typhon Empire. The red flags have all been lowered—they were not randomly thrown on the ground for people to trample on, but were properly collected under the orders of their superiors, and were packaged and sent back to Changfeng as part of the booty.

Philip stepped into the fortress, and as he drove through the frontal portal that had collapsed into a huge gap, the young general was suddenly in a trance.

He never thought that he would step into Winter Wolf Castle in this form, at least he never thought that this day would come so early - this strong fortress standing on the border of Typhon is a special place in the hearts of countless Cecil soldiers" Symbol", from the Ansu Kingdom era to the current Empire era, generations of generals and soldiers have been vigilant about this fortress, and regard the army in the fortress as the biggest opponent and threat, but today... this fortress is just So easily captured.

Of course, it is not accurate to say "easy". Although the entire attack lasted only one day and night, and the process seemed to be smooth, Cecil's mechanized army still encountered the most tenacious and most threatening since its formation in front of this fortress. counterattack. The Typhons' strategic magic caused no small casualties, and the brief but tenacious resistance of the Winter Wolves and Black Flag Magicians when they finally attacked the inner city also shocked the front-line commanders. To be honest, if not The fighting strength of the defenders of Winter Wolf Castle was suddenly cut in half, and they were not familiar with Cecil's "new tactics", and this battle could never be so easy.

But there is no "if" on the battlefield, and no matter how powerful a warrior falls, it is just a corpse. On this stage where only results are concerned, the Cecilians still have the upper hand.

Remnants of bricks are everywhere in the outer city, thick smoke billows, and the aerial bombardment caused far more than expected results after penetrating the shield. Almost all the places where the bombs had been baptized were turned into ruins, and the fires ignited everywhere until the sun rose. Time is still not extinguished. It is said that some of those fires were set by the Typhon defenders themselves - the purpose was to stop the Cecil soldiers who entered the city, and from the results, it could not be said that they were completely useless.

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

Philip looked through the side car window and saw that many disarmed Typhon soldiers were lining up to be registered. After a preliminary count, these Typhons would be scattered and sent to several prisoners of war in the rear. While in the camp—Cecil's army had always been adept at taking in large numbers of prisoners of war and quickly building containment facilities for them—and entering the camp was the first step in the "harmless treatment" of the Typhons.

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

The adjutant sat in the seat next to Philip. He also looked out the window. After seeing the Typhon soldiers who were lining up honestly, the young officer from the southern border couldn't help but ask, "General, what do you mean here? How many are contaminated? How many are awake?"

"...I 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 'General Wolf' voluntarily surrendered, I doubt that we have any interest in Typhon and the others. The judgment of Winter Wolf Castle is wrong... It is probably too early to regard Typhon as a contaminated area of ​​divine disaster. As for the proportion of pollution in this area... Then I can't tell. It depends on the follow-up technical identification results.”

"It's unbelievable," the adjutant said looking out the window with some surprise, "These Typhonians are so quiet, they don't show any symptoms of mental pollution... If it weren't for the fact that we randomly selected a few people from them and used our minds The double identification of the protective rune and the 'human barrier' has really found the pollution, I can't believe that the mental structure of these people has actually mutated... How could they cooperate like this?"

"Not all mental pollution will turn people into sullen monsters, and sometimes clear and rational thinking may also be the result of mental pollution," Philip said, "For the God of War, what he seeks at this moment is only war, and As far as war is concerned... Combat is part of war, surrender is part of war, charging into battle is part of war, being a prisoner of war is part of war, war is war, and truce after war is even an 'element' of war - in these When there is no major conflict in the basic conditions, it is quite normal for infected people with less pollution to behave calmly and cooperate."

"General, you really know a lot."

"You should read more books in your spare time, in every field - it's good for you."

During the conversation, the magic car had driven past the front courtyard of the castle, and after passing through the well-preserved gate, Philip finally came to the core area of ​​the fort.

After getting out of the car, he only brought along his most trusted entourage. Under the leadership of the guiding soldiers, he finally met the highest commander of Winter Wolf Castle, the wolf general who chose to surrender.

She was leaning on a soft sheet, with bandages all over her body, mottled blood seeping from those strips of cloth, looking startling, Philip noticed that the other party's left eye was even wrapped in circles The bandages on his face were also oozing with blood, and the redness was more eye-catching in contrast to the pale complexion on his face.

Philip's footsteps stopped for a while.

He remembered that he had seen this wolf general, and the other side was valiant at that time.

Fate is really a tricky thing.

Then he looked at Andersa's side again - beside the floppy was a chair, and there was a young lady in an armed nun's costume and a smooth blond shawl sitting there, she seemed to be down He turned his head through a book carefully, while a combat "staff" with a Holy Light Shock Cannon assembly was quietly leaning against the wall beside it.

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

It should be one of the priests in the army who came to take care of the seriously wounded General Wolf.

Judging from the blood on the battle staff and the mottled wear on the other's gloves, this should be a loyal and respectable sister.

Unspeakable loyalty, the kind that can kill a cow with one punch.
