Chapter 1648 Scandal (Ⅰ)

The twelve cavalry demons lined up in a horizontal line, cleared the way with "lightning beams", raised their hooves and raised their spears, and charged towards the Feizhen army's position.

Most of the spears and bullets that were stabbed in front of them were directly bounced off by the enchanted armor. Occasionally, a few bullets penetrated through the gaps in the armor, and it was difficult to penetrate the tough skin of the demons with the ability to reduce damage, causing damage is negligible.

Twenty cavalry demons charged forward, clearing the way for the human cavalry who came later.

Baron Laval's last charge launched today was finally a great success, leading the Midgard Colonial Corps to completely disperse the Fidan's line.

The sudden appearance of the demon cavalry on the battlefield not only disrupted the defense arrangement of Feizhen's side, but also caused a great psychological deterrent to those officers and soldiers who witnessed the demon for the first time. His legs were already trembling with fright, and he couldn't hold his weapon steadily, let alone step forward to meet him.

General Thomas Cornwallis tried his best to stabilize his position, but his army was defeated. His efforts were futile after all, so he had to face this painful reality, led the remnants to flee the battlefield, and retreated to Linyuan Castle overnight.

The Midgardians finally won the victory and temporarily kept their homeland, but the victory was hard won, and they paid a heavy price for it.

After the Battle of Lake Aosta, statistics showed that the casualty rate of both sides was as high as 50%.

The Volsong tribe of the Asa tribe, which fought with the Midgard Colonial Corps, also sacrificed more than 200 young soldiers for this war, including Logan Volsung, who took the lead on the battlefield. The number of injured is as many as 40%.

If you only look at the statistics, the scale of the "Battle of Lake Aosta" is actually not that big, and the total number of troops invested by the two warring parties is less than 10,000.

However, in 1622, when the Ashanian New World colony suffered consecutive defeats from south to north, and at the turn of spring and summer when Midgard City was turbulent and people were turbulent, and the theory of surrender was rampant, the arrival of this victory was particularly valuable. Its political and diplomatic The far-reaching impact of the domain is even greater than the military significance.

When the news of the victory came back to the colonial capital, the city of Midgard was full of joy!

Facts speak louder than words. After this battle, the colonial authorities of Midgard have proved capable of resisting the invasion of the Fiends. Members of the city council who actively advocated surrender were ashamed. The invaders fought to the death.

The major newspapers and periodicals headed by the "Midgard Tribune" finally ushered in the opportunity to show their talents. They published front-line news on the front page, and in-depth reports on the Battle of Lake Aosta were also in full swing.

The fighting between the two major colonies in the north and the south came to an end for the time being, and a war for the direction of public opinion broke out.

The Filipinos were defeated on the eastern shore of Lake Aosta, but the Jotunheim journalists soon won the battle of public opinion.

After losing the battle, how can you be ashamed to engage in news and propaganda?

It doesn't matter if you don't promote your own defeated generals, you can also expose the ugly face of the enemy, the despicable methods used in the war, pour dirty water on the victor, and tarnish the enemy's reputation, and you can still achieve the purpose of guiding public opinion.

If the Midgard military did not use any "unconventional means" during the war, the Jotunheim press could not pick out the bones from the eggs and could only make up stories out of thin air. Reports without facts are often difficult to justify. persuasive.

However, unfortunately, or the luck of the misfortunes for the Jotunheim military, which was eager to get rid of the guilt of the defeat, General Cornwallis really had ironclad evidence to accuse his opponents on the battlefield.

Less than a week after the Battle of Lake Aosta ended, the "Jortunheim News" issued by New Avalon broke a big news, revealing that the commander of the Midgard Colonial Corps, Baron Laval, had borrowed a weapon during the war. The power of demons.

This report cites many testimonies and is accompanied by vivid engraving illustrations. It describes in detail the critical moment when the battle of Lake Aosta is about to be decided. Under his gaze, he majestically used some kind of taboo method to summon twenty "iron cavalry demons" from the bottomless abyss.

As soon as this group of abyssal cavalry appeared on the battlefield, they immediately followed Baron Laval's order and attacked Feizhen's position. No less than a hundred Feizhen officers and soldiers died tragically under the iron hooves of these demons, and finally caused Feizhen's side to suffer a defeat.

The colonial society of the New World generally tends to be traditional and conservative, especially the upper class dominated by the aristocrats. Even if the male robbers and female prostitutes do all kinds of bad things in private, they still have to put on a gentleman's demeanor, open their mouths "traditional" and close their mouths. Show superiority on the moral high ground.

Under the dominance of this atmosphere, the aristocrats and "upper class" of the Midgard colony look down on even the aborigines such as the Asa and the hill giants, and they are very disgusted with their own military alliance with the Volsong tribe. If they don't take it seriously, they even sneer at the fellowship of the real Fei and the hill giant, and regard it as a barbaric act of self-willing and depraved. Then, how should these same people who control the direction of public opinion view Baron Laval's collusion with the devil?

If this happened to an officer of civilian origin, it would not be a big deal. The upper-class people can attribute their collusion with the devil to the inferiority of the inferior people. The position of the Midgard colony authorities.

It would be even more blameless if it was some army mage who summoned demons to resist the enemy.

In the popular impression, arcane spellcasters such as mages and warlocks are a group of weird guys who often deal with demons or undead creatures. It is understandable that they are forced to call demons as rescuers when the military situation is urgent.

However, when this happened to the Baron Laval, the situation became very awkward.

Benedict Laval is a well-known aristocrat who is rooted in Zhengmiaohong. Not only does he have a title, but he is also the military chief of the Midgard colony and the frontline commander of the Battle of Lake Aosta. He and the colonial authorities, and The military is too closely integrated with the aristocracy and the upper class to be cut off, let alone throw such a big man as an outcast.

Baron Laval's daily words and deeds always give people an impression of aloofness. He even regards the aborigines of the Asa tribe as human beings as beasts. He wishes to slaughter them clean and free up land and resources for civilized and noble colonization. Those who enjoy it, what kind of attitude does he have towards demons?
