Chapter 1088 Just Begun

"Lady Edith..." Feilin reminded in a low voice, "That's a loss of more than two hundred people, a big victory or something..."

"More than two hundred people - just," Northland Pearl interrupted, "Where are the devils? There were about fifty of them thrown into the camp, including a high-level devil. The casualties of the First Army were almost all They caused it. At first glance, it seemed that we suffered a big loss from fifty to two hundred, but the main enemy force that died in front of the defense line was at least two thousand. This is only the most preliminary estimate. Those who were killed during the escape The devil was blown to pieces, and it would take several days to piece together a complete number. Am I right, Miss Sylvie?"

"Uh..." Sylvie hesitated, "This is pretty much what the enemy corpses seen by the magic eyes are like."

"Ms. Agatha, I guess you didn't command a war or even personally participate in a war four hundred years ago, right?" Edith looked at the Ice Witch.

The latter couldn't help but frowned, "During the War of Divine Will, fighting devils was a compulsory course for the witches of the Federation. Although I was a researcher of the Quest Society in the past, I also fought against enemies on the way to explore the ruins..."

"I'm talking about war." Edith leaned forward slightly, her expression looking aggressive.

"Edith——" Iron Ax stopped him.

"Why?" Anna suddenly asked, and her intervention also drew everyone's attention back, "Why do you think so? As far as I know, you served as the knight leader in the North and have never experienced a war. yes."

If someone else were to ask this question, it would be like adding fuel to the fire, but when Anna said it, everyone felt surprisingly peaceful, with no hint of dispute at all.

Probably because of those pure and serious eyes, people can't think of anything else at all.

Edith also calmed down her momentum, stroked her chest and replied, "You are right, I have not experienced a real war, but there are people here who have experienced it..." She paused slightly, "You can tell by the look on her face. What is the outcome of this?"

she?

Everyone followed Northland Pearl's gaze and saw that at the corner of the long table, Phyllis, the representative of Taqila Fang, was holding a cup of hot tea and was lost in thought. The corners of her mouth were raised and her eyes were full of smiles. Every once in a while, he would pick up the tea cup and take a sip, as if he was tasting some delicious drink. For Taquila witches, this is not a common sight - they have lost their sense of taste and eat only for survival, and it is almost impossible to show expressions of enjoyment.

Only then did everyone notice that the discussion had been so intense before, but Phyllis's attention was not focused on the meeting at all - even though she was now the center of attention, she was still distracted.

It wasn't until Wendy next to her gave her a gentle push that Phyllis came back to her senses.

"Oh? Where were you talking about?" God's Punishment Witch coughed twice, "I was just thinking about a very important matter, and I didn't pay attention to what you said. What, does Her Majesty the Queen have any questions to ask me? "

"..." The scene was silent.

She was obviously in a daze, but she could say that she was thinking about big things without changing her face in front of everyone. It turned out that the ancient witches four hundred years ago were not much different from people today in some aspects.

"puff."

I don't know who laughed first. There was a burst of chuckles among everyone, and the heavy atmosphere in the room suddenly dissipated a lot.

"It seems I don't need to ask anymore." Anna shook her head amusedly.

Edith stood up and looked around, "The one who suffered greater losses was the devil, and the one who turned around and fled was also the devil. But we are still standing here, and the Tower No. 1 site is safe and sound. How can we talk about failure? His Majesty once said to me In a word, victory or defeat is often measured by whether the set goals have been achieved - obviously, they did not get the desired results. I can even say that the devil's commander made a very serious mistake."

"Wrong...wrong?" Everyone in the audience looked a little surprised. It can be said that every detail of this night attack was considered. It can be called an extremely successful ambush. It doesn't look like there is a major mistake. . It's just an accurate judgment on magic power. After all, their previous wars for nearly a thousand years were centered on this point, but it is very shocking to be able to target firearms so quickly and effectively. You must know that the two groups have no communication at all, and the only official confrontation was the previous battle at Wangbeipo.

Although no one mentioned it, everyone had a slight fear of the devil - this was different from the enemy in their minds. Even though the humans on the Fertile Plains had been completely defeated and the Witch Empire was destroyed in their hands, it was still old. History. Things like history will distort and fade with the passage of time, and cannot be intuitively felt.

It wasn't until this war broke out that everyone truly touched the corner of history hidden under the veil.

They are by no means comparable to the evil beasts that run rampant in the wilderness.

Regardless of magic power and physical fitness, he is also highly intelligent.

Even humans... are inferior.

When excuses such as this are torn apart, when the proud mind of human beings is eclipsed, the impact is absolutely indescribable.

What followed was suspicion of oneself, so that few people thought about the issue of devils. Therefore, when Edith said this, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity.

"What's wrong?" Anna asked subconsciously.

"The mistake is that you are too arrogant, Your Highness." Edith replied decisively, "Creating chaos, seizing artillery positions, and then using the army to cover up... If this was a knightly order or an ancient army, it would have collapsed long ago. . However, the First Army is not - they only saw the changes in weapons, but ignored the differences in people. This is the biggest mistake the enemy made!"

Everyone was immediately shocked.

"From the beginning to the end, they only sent in about fifty devils, which means that the new attack methods are not easy for the enemy to implement, and they should be put together as much as possible to exert the greatest power. But how did they do it? "Scattered these fifty devils into four areas - barracks, two lines of trenches, and artillery positions." Northland Pearl talked eloquently, "The devil commander is by no means a fool, so he issued the order The reason is obvious: as long as a dozen devils are thrown in, the human bugs can be defeated. Isn't such unabashed contempt a kind of arrogance?"

Anna vaguely understood the meaning of the other party's words, and she couldn't help but clenched her fists, "If they hadn't made this mistake...if they regarded humans as equal opponents..."

"Then we won't rely on these fifty people to capture the camp, but we will pursue as many opponents as possible." Edith nodded and affirmed, "Suppose the enemy sends all the devils into the camp, including one What will happen if there are only high-level demons, while the army stands still, and the spider demons leave immediately after the sneak attack?"

Anna felt a chill in her back.

Fifty men were replaced by two hundred men because the troops were dispersed and the tug-of-war to seize the position bought the reinforcements time to react. If the enemy had gone for the kill from the beginning and treated the high-level devils as disposable consumables, the number of casualties would probably have increased several times...

"Five hundred, one thousand... or two thousand? Of course, they will eventually be eliminated, and Tower No. 1 site can be preserved, but it is difficult to determine the outcome." Edith spread her hands and said, "It's a pity. Unfortunately, their arrogance caused them to miss this opportunity, and it also taught the First Army a lot - for example, the barracks must be built underground, and the roof must not only withstand stone needles, but also withstand machine gun and mortar bombardment, etc. "If the enemy hadn't made such a big mistake, we wouldn't have been able to learn this at such a small cost, right?" She paused, "All in all, this war has just begun, colleagues."
