Chapter 1302 A Man with Scheming Intentions

Five days later——

"Excuse me, is this the eldest princess?"

"Yes, this is the news that the command has just received. The specific number of people is still being verified, but it should be at least 600."

"The garrison of Windhowl Castle has been taken in. They should move to Neverwinter City by land after resting."

"No, this is what we should do."

"Thank you for your hard work, please have a good rest."

After Edith finished her report, she hung up the phone steadily.

As the highest level communication method at present, the hand-cranked telephone has become an indispensable equipment for the staff. However, it is limited by the transmission distance. Currently, the only one that can directly connect to the highlands of Congshan is the Sky Knight Camp outside Thorn Town.

As soon as she turned around, she saw her third brother, Lance Kant, who looked surprised.

"Is there a problem?"

Unlike her second brother Cole, Edith used her connections to directly transfer Lance, who had passed the elementary education examination, into the General Staff Department—considering that her third brother's temperament was more out-of-the-box, she thought it would be more appropriate for her to look after him.

Of course, this also makes it easier for her to appreciate the other person's pain when encountering setbacks up close.

"Ah... no, it's nothing. I'm just a little surprised. It turns out that eldest sister, you are also very respectful to others." Lance came forward with a stack of documents in his arms, "Even when I talked to my father, you were not like this before. You're welcome."

"I thought your brain capacity would increase slightly after you become an adult." Edith said unconcernedly, "I told my father that because he wouldn't do anything to me, but Tilly Wimbledon is Roland. Your Majesty's sister, if she mentions my rudeness one more time in front of her brother, what do you think will happen to the future of the Kande family?"

"But I always feel that you are...not so serious towards His Majesty..."

"Because Your Majesty is a male, occasionally taking the initiative can produce miraculous results."

"Uh...I don't quite understand..."

"The human heart is the highest level of strategy. It's only normal if you don't understand it," Edith shrugged. "Even if you have all kinds of abilities, you still can't be the ultimate winner if you don't understand the human heart."

"Sister, can you teach me?" Lance asked expectantly.

"Of course," Edith glanced at him with interest, "but compared to simple lectures, everything is most effective when you try it yourself. For example, Cole did a very good job in this regard. How about you? Want to try it?"

Lang suddenly felt a chill running through his heart. Thinking of his brother's appearance at home, he swallowed, "Well... I'd better wait."

Beidi Pearl withdrew her gaze, "You decide for yourself."

Lance, who was granted amnesty, quickly changed the subject, "By the way, did you call His Highness to report the safe arrival of the refugees?"

Edith nodded, "After all, Your Highness Tilly has informed the staff about this matter when she came back. Of course, she must be informed as soon as possible."

The entire rescue operation exceeded everyone's expectations. Not only did the Sky Knight rush to the battlefield 200 kilometers away in just over an hour, saving a large number of refugees, but he also foiled the devil's plot in one fell swoop.

Yes, this is no ordinary hunt. Judging from the clues obtained afterwards, the refugees were probably just bait thrown by the enemy, and the real fatal blow was hidden behind the pursuit team.

What would happen if the First Army really sent a rescue team to respond?

Due to bad weather and long journey, if you want to arrive quickly, you must travel light and travel day and night. In order to extend the pursuit time as much as possible, the devil is completely waiting for work. When the two sides collide, the rescue team will find that they are not only facing an enemy force that is no less numerous than themselves, but also have to resist attacks from terrifying beasts.

Even if they retreat immediately, they still have to trek nearly a hundred kilometers in the wind and snow. How many people can eventually escape? I'm afraid there won't be any.

This was the devil's first test of the comprehensive contraction of the First Army.

Even if the latter paid no attention to the refugees, or did not notice the pursuit to the north of Windhowling Castle at all, there would be no loss for the devil.

They have probably noticed that there is an essential difference between Graycastle, Wolfheart, and Eternal Winter people. Even if they kill more locals, it will not have any impact on the outcome of the Battle of Divine Will. Every time one of them is eliminated, The rescue team will weaken the power of mankind one more point.

But the appearance of the Sky Knight caught the ambush by surprise.

Everything was quite similar to the shelling battle at Wangbei Slope a year ago. The enemy and the First Army each made judgments that were favorable to themselves, but the results were quite different.

Even if Tilly didn't find another enemy force lurking in the rear, the situation of the battle would not change in any way.

In the end, the flight team returned safely, and the fleeing refugees were lucky enough to escape. It can be regarded as a great victory.

"The Sky Knight is so awesome..." Lance exclaimed, "Not only did he kill dozens of mad demons, but he also managed to escape from all sides with troops ambushing him on all sides. Even the Holy Blessed Army of the United Federation in the past would have found it difficult to do this. At this point, right?”

"Yeah, it's really amazing."

After letting out a long breath, Edith put her legs up on the table and slowly leaned on the back of the chair, feeling a little disinterested for a moment.

Lance was startled, "You seem...a little unhappy?"

"I can't say I'm unhappy. I just feel that...the staff will soon be reduced to a decoration."

"Eh?" The third brother's eyes widened.

"Four Skyfires can drive back more than two hundred devils. What if the First Army has a hundred or even a thousand Skyfires?" Edith smiled, "Then with just one sentence, there is no enemy. Just send the Sky Knights wherever they go. Strategies and calculations will become meaningless, and anyone will say in the previous sentence, if it reaches this point, what is the general staff if it is not a decoration?"

In fact, when she first saw this kind of free-flying machine, she had already realized the huge military potential it contained. What she and Roland talked about the most after that was the use of the Sky Knight. She even established a group within the staff group that specializes in studying air force tactics in order to maximize the use of this new weapon.

But when it really shined in the first battle, Northland Pearl felt a little regretful.

Because the advantages of the Sky Knight are too obvious, the importance of strategy has been reduced. In the age of knights, there was a lot of emphasis on troop formation and tactical formulation, but now it has undoubtedly been simplified a lot - because the air force has the advantage of vision, it can make battlefield intelligence more transparent, and at the same time, coupled with its strong maneuverability, it is enough Interrupt the entire combat zone.

In other words, as long as you can occupy the sky, you can completely control the enemy's every move. However, the enemy's situation is completely opposite. The situation is almost pitch black, and it is difficult to make effective responses except passively being beaten.

Not to mention that His Majesty also revealed that the Skyfire has only just started, which is equivalent to the flintlock gun compared to the current Mark 1.

"In that case... we can just go back to Evernight City," Lance whispered.

"I'm afraid it's too late," Edith chuckled. "I'm afraid I've offended a lot of people to be able to sit in this seat. Do you think those people will let me enjoy the rest of my life?"

Of course she knew that if the person in power was Roland, nothing would happen, but she was never afraid to predict fate based on the worst possibility, because her malicious words could always hurt others.

"I will...protect you." Lance bit his lip.

"Rely on what? Just rely on your current status and ability? If you can't climb to a high position, it's better to say less empty words." She felt a sense of joy arise spontaneously, "Otherwise the result will only be worse, such as those The enemy, in front of you, killed me——"

Edith suddenly closed her mouth.

There were footsteps outside the room, and soon Felin Silt opened the door and walked in.

"Sir, it turns out you are here..."

"What? New information has been sent?"

"It would be great if it is," Dawn Dawn said with a headache on her face, "I just checked the material requirements list for the Sky Knight Training Camp. I'm afraid that the recent logistics plan will have to be reorganized."

"oh?"

"You may not know that they have used nearly ten thousand rounds of ammunition in the past few days, and this does not include the consumption during the official attack." Feilin said distressedly, "And there are only twenty or thirty students in total, so the demand has already been met. It costs as much as ten squads of the Musketeer Battalion! Not to mention the reserves of fuel, aircraft parts, etc. I think if their number increases several times, how can the logistics be taken care of... Uh, sir?"

Lance suddenly discovered that the laziness in his sister had been completely gone.

Edith stood up from her seat and replied lightly, "You will take the lead in completing this work. No matter what, you must ensure the supply of the Sky Knights." Then she looked at Lance, "You are still stunned there. What to do?"

"Yes?" The latter couldn't come back to his senses for a moment.

"Follow me to the intelligence room. It's far from time to rest." Edith neatly lifted her hair, turned and walked out of the house.
