The sun is high - #205 - Chapter 204 Iris Street

When Shuge took an extremely important step on the road to solving the predicament of Salem City, the Fifth Chasseur Regiment far away in the Black Forest had just spent an extremely long and painful night.

The history and culture of the Luo Wei Plateau and the Goddess Plain have created many prejudices and misunderstandings among residents of the plateau kingdoms such as Walter against the soldiers of the plain countries.

At least according to the stereotypes of most people, it is difficult for the military academies of the Kingdom of Deland and many principalities to cultivate real military talents and generals.

In fact, this is a very serious misjudgment.

Although in the past hundreds of years, the plateau countries have always been able to obtain more favorable results in the conflicts between the two regions, in fact, these conflicts and contradictions have seriously damaged the behemoth Kingdom of Deland. Relatively limited – it’s just too big.

Extremely rich resources and a more pleasant living environment have given the plains countries amazing confidence in conflicts, and the generals trained in this environment are better at controlling the battlefield situation to provide for their country and the camp to gain greater benefits.

“Winning or losing a battle cannot determine the life or death of a giant beast.”

This is a sentence summed up by Anthony, the current “famous general” of the Kingdom of Teresa. It is regarded as a wise saying by many soldiers and generals of Teresa. These professional soldiers serving the Kingdom of the Plains may be slightly inferior in performance on the frontal battlefield. , but they can always rely on grand strategic adjustments to make up for those mistakes and regain opportunities.

This offensive and defensive battle in the Black Forest area is a manifestation of the wisdom of Delan’s army.

This extremely intense battle actually lasted for a day and a night. After the position of the 5th Chasseur Regiment was successfully detected by the field mages sent by the Delan army, intensive artillery fire destroyed all members of the 5th Chasseur Regiment. All shrouded.

The bombardment lasted from early morning to noon.

Fortunately, the follow-up troops responsible for supporting the 5th Chasseur Regiment also provided extremely fierce artillery support after receiving the message they sent. Among them, a very special place attracted the common attention of both parties, and that was the Black Forest Castle.

This important landmark that was previously selected by the Black Sun Society as a gathering place actually became the common target of the artillery of both sides in an invisible tacit understanding. Under the continuous bombardment of several different types of crystallized artillery shells, the Black Forest Castle with its long history was completely destroyed. It was reduced to a ruins riddled with holes.

Also receiving the same treatment was the western part of the Black Forest town. In order to effectively block the advance of Deland’s army, Votel’s artillery almost razed it to the ground.

However, this intense artillery bombardment could only slightly relieve the pressure on the defending Fifth Chasseur Regiment.

The fall of the town and the severe blow suffered by the Black Forest Infantry Regiment had been regarded as a provocation by the Voltels against the Royal House of Teresa. Under the influence of this classic “viewing” problem, the Teresa soldiers in charge of the attack behaved Extremely ferocious and brave, even though the Chasseur Regiment has set up multiple Kalfan heavy machine gun positions, the Chasseur Regiment still inevitably suffered a large number of casualties in high-intensity battles.

As the leader of the army’s physicians, Meyer never rested.

He felt like he had never dealt with so many wounded people in his life.

The blood stains on his hands have been washed away countless times. Although Meyer has always had far more perseverance and patience than ordinary people, he inevitably feels tired at this moment.

The Chasseur Regiment is not a regiment that is good at defense in Votel’s army system, so Major Alfred made bold judgments and adjustments in the defense strategy – placing the enemy as close to the trenches as possible When he started blocking again, he even allowed the soldiers in the first trench to properly put the enemy into defensive positions for direct close combat.

This approach is naturally quite effective, but similarly, once the soldiers of the Chasseur Regiment are injured, they will also pay a greater price.

“Hold it down, don’t let him move.”

Meyer glanced at the young soldier who couldn’t help curling up because of excessive pain, and gave instructions to the assistants beside him. Then he quickly came to the metal basin and put his palms out. into the scalding hot water, and the blood stains on his palms immediately dispersed in the water. With the operation of the steam equipment, the blood water was quickly drained, and the clean water was re-injected under the action of the magic crystal, and was Heats up quickly.

Meyer himself estimated that if he lost the assistance of these new equipment, I am afraid that the efficiency of treating the wounded would be reduced by a full 60%, and the survival rate of the wounded would also be seriously affected.

The stimulation of hot water took away some fatigue.

Amidst the sporadic explosions in the distance, Meyer ended his rest that was not a rest at all. He came to the young soldier and waited for an assistant mage to use magic to relieve the pain of the wounded man. , and the inspection began immediately.

The soldier’s injury was subtle, on the back of his thigh.

A shattered crystal shrapnel cut through the young man’s flesh like a blade. If it had been positioned a little higher, only half of his butt would have been left.

Meyer was also a little surprised. In order to relieve the soldier’s embarrassment and nervousness, he joked: “How could it be injured in such a place?”

“Well……”

Feeling his pants being taken off, the soldier twisted his body helplessly. There were too many female doctors and apprentices in the field hospital, and he felt that his self-esteem had been extremely seriously hurt.

Amidst the laughter of the female assistants beside him, the young man muttered: “The major asked me to deliver a letter to you… He said it was a magic letter sent through a secret ritual. As a result, I only walked halfway when I ran into A malfunctioning crystal shell, hiss…it took a whole day to explode! I’m not a deserter, I’m just unlucky!”

“Yes, I know, Votel people are not deserters.”

Meyer felt a little funny. This was not a particularly troublesome injury, so he called an apprentice to deal with it. He took out the letter from the soldier’s coat pocket and took it to the crystal lamp. Under the light.

In the soldier’s low groan, Meyer saw the signature of the magical letter.

He was surprised to find that this turned out to be a letter “sent on behalf of others”, and the signature of the letter turned out to be “Master Alfred”.

“Mage? I don’t know a mage named Alfred…oh, wait.”

Meyer woke up immediately. He turned around and asked, “Has the major read this letter?”

“No sir, this letter is addressed to you by name, hiss…and when the major saw the signature, he asked me to send it directly!”

“okay.”

Meyer nodded.

He already knew the source of this letter, and he was probably the only person who could think of adding the name “Alfred” and the identity of a mage together and sending a letter to him.

With curiosity and concern about his friend’s situation, Meyer quickly opened the letter and read it by the light.

“Professor, I hope everything is well…”

…

Xiuge didn’t know that Master Valery’s efficiency was so amazing. In just half a day and one night, he had already decisively sent that extremely important letter for him, and Valery was in this matter. Things were done very “cleanly”.

In order to ensure that this letter would not be monitored by the Law Commission’s Mystery of the Eye of Mel, he even took the risk of “collaborating with the enemy” and contacted a mage friend of his on the Votel front, and through this channel , the letter was successfully sent using Walter’s internal magic secret.

When Meyer finished reading Shouge’s letter and began to think seriously about how to write an important article that could really attract attention, Shouge left the apartment building as a hiding place alone and rode away. He followed the running rat towards the direction of Iris Street.

Just like what Shuge learned through the memory of an Iris Street soldier late at night, this special force formed from the independent government army of Salem City and the remaining troops of the Kingdom of Deland has begun to consolidate the security of its territory. .

These soldiers and mages integrated by General Boots not only set up multiple strong posts near Iris Street, but also made a very bold move in Salem City – they used magic and alchemy bombs to directly bulldoze the city. A considerable number of buildings with hidden dangers were removed, and all suspicious cracks and passages near Iris Street were filled and sealed using the magic of mages.

Xiuge took a closer look and found that the members of Iris Street were very willing to work hard on the maintenance of their territory. The filling here was done very well. Some of the more dangerous cracks were even attached with curing rituals. This level of The repairs are enough to withstand the larger impact of the Dark Abyss descendants.

On the side of Iris Street, Xiuge saw an even more astonishing scene.

There was originally a small park there. The name of this park is as uncreative as other facilities in Salem. It is called “Peace Park” and has been maintained by the Delan Embassy in the past. In the center of the park, there is A very classic “Armistice Sculpture”.

A considerable part of this “Peace Park” has now been bulldozed, and the areas that have not been bulldozed are separated by earthen walls shaped by magic by the magicians of Iris Street. From the condition of those lands, From the looks of it, this is obviously prepared farmland. Although it is winter now, through magic rituals, it is possible to maintain the temperature in a certain area and plant crops.

Various actions on Iris Street show that they are not just “warlords” entrenched in this city. General Boots seems to have a clearer understanding of the situation in Salem City. Although he may not be able to escape from Salem City methods, but also understand that if you want to survive in this terrible hell for a long time, you must make more preparations.

And this is also the reason why Iris Street is recruiting survivors on a large scale – they have too many things to do and are very short of manpower.

Xiuge, who passed by riding a giant rat, naturally attracted the attention of many soldiers. Perhaps because General Boots had greeted him the day before, these soldiers did not show much hostility to the guards, even when When Xiuge walked near the entrance of Iris Street, another mage came out.

This is a middle-aged man, still wearing the mage robe issued by the Legal Committee, with a magic book hanging on his waist, but he does not wear the emblem symbolizing the mage level.

However, with Xiuge’s extremely keen magic perception, there is no way to hide the level of this middle-aged mage – he is a very ordinary raindrop-level mage, the kind who has just got rid of his apprentice status. In the Legal Committee, one should be able to do clerical work reluctantly and support the operation of the secret ritual.

Facing such a mage, Xiuge didn’t even need to radiate his own magic power.

Just relying on the terrifying aura of the running rat can already be a sufficient deterrent to him.

Shuge was even a little worried that the middle-aged mage who came to “welcome” him would pee his pants under Snicki’s eyes that were like observing prey.

“Is… is it Master Ernst?”

The middle-aged man still had some courage after all. Although his smile began to distort under the attention of the giant rat with horns, he still insisted on walking to the front of Xiuge and reluctantly gave him a blow. Greeting: “General Boots asked me to greet you… and he asked me to tell you that he is very much looking forward to meeting today.”

“Me too.”

Xiuge bared his white teeth, and then he gently tapped the road with his cane, and the huge magical beast that made everyone very nervous immediately disappeared into the magical mist.

At the same time, Xiuge’s magic perception swept around at an extremely fast speed. After confirming that there were no ambushers who could threaten him, he followed the middle-aged mage towards the interior of Iris Street, and At the same time, the Ernst family rats that had been summoned before also took action. They quickly found a suitable passage for themselves and began to explore the interior of Iris Street from all directions.

After stepping into Iris Street, Xiuge showed a little surprise at the right time.

This was a necessary move. He didn’t want to give the people nearby the illusion that he had explored this place before. Just like the image he saw through the memory of the “dead man” the night before, everything here seemed in order. Although Everything here still has a strong atmosphere of vigilance and seriousness, but compared with other dilapidated and uninhabited areas in Salem City, this place already seems quite energetic.

Here, Shuge saw female residents passing by in a hurry carrying baskets, workers repairing shop walls, and many children trying to help move things in exchange for some bread…

From Xiuge’s perspective, this Iris Street has been built into a special “community” in a doomsday scenario.
