Chapter eight hundred and eighty first crossing the river and demolishing the bridge

When the mage was in danger, he reached out to take out a scroll from his pocket. However, before he could tear it open, a scimitar flew from a distance and slashed on the spot on his right shoulder, causing his arm to droop weakly—

Masola seized the opportunity and hit the opponent's abdomen with a swing. The huge force directly brought the opponent's body up. The fist blade pierced the body. The inertia made the mage fly out more than three meters. After hitting the wall, it "pumped" to the ground. Blood spread out from his abdomen, but Masola did not give up. He gritted his teeth and rushed over, swinging at him without saying a word, the second punch, the third punch...

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Enough!"

Masora almost smashed the mage's body into two pieces, and then Elvin called him. He raised his head and found that the company commander's hair was almost burnt. But his shield was still intact on his left arm, and his armor was charred, but his running posture seemed to be nothing serious...

After confirming that the company commander was fine, Masola's angry and tense mood was relieved a little. But he immediately realized that there was still a task to be completed. Seeing Viscount Catlan who had collapsed on the ground, he reached out and grabbed the other party's neck and lifted it up with one hand like a chicken. Only then did everyone realize that the hem of his luxurious clothes had been soaked with urine.

Massola threw the guy aside and then began to assist the second team outside the house to clean up the guards trying to rescue. After transforming, Teflin was unable to move in the house, so he returned to his previous appearance. The soldiers of the Special Forces Company were used to this, but the nobles were so scared that they forgot to resist.

The strongest mage was killed, and the remaining guards were quickly cleaned up like fish. In five minutes, more than a dozen nobles and knights in the entire mansion expressed their willingness to surrender and give up all resistance. Viscount Catlan even asked his steward to order all soldiers in the city to give up resistance, and the city defense will be connected by Iversa Special.

In fact, there was no armed force of the squad or above on the city wall at night. Even without his orders, the actual control of the city wall had fallen into the hands of the Iversata Special Forces. Erwin took these nobles in one fell swoop, making the raid mission complete: although this city sounds like two thousand soldiers can be fought, the leadership is scattered in the hands of a group of nobles, and no one has subordinate to each other.

Therefore, when their master became a prisoner, the soldiers who heard the news chose to surrender together without saying a word, without any resistance...

In other words, in such an era of cold weapons, Elvin, with an airborne force of 240 people, directly seized control of an important city overnight.

At dawn, Massola still didn't close her eyes. He was guarding next to his injured comrades and fed the other party a bite of healing potion from time to time. After the battle, the feeling of fatigue quickly came. However, Massola was still unwilling to go to sleep because of the excitement of the mood. Instead, she sat here, thinking about the gains and losses of the night's battle.

In fact, he did not sigh much about what he summed up, because it was not until this time that Massola realized that the saying "sweat more in peacetime and less in wartime" was really not a false talk. Commander Soder's repeated changes to the "military supply" issue saved the lives of his comrades!

He thought that the equipment everyone was wearing was similar to those of the soldiers of the infantry division, but after fighting face to face with the mage last night, everyone discovered... It turned out that his armor could not only block swords, but also resist spells. The spell level cast by the high-level mages was not high in a hurry, so their armor with magic resistance was of great use.

There were a total of four soldiers who were hit by the "Ice Cone Technique" and "Fire Shock". In theory, even if the metal armor they wore would be directly penetrated through their bodies or exploded into pieces. But the result was that the armor firmly blocked the spell. These four people did not endanger their lives except for the broken ribs and the contusion of their muscles.

Except for a barbarian comrade who happened to be shot in the knee by an arrow, the rest of the assault team maintained basic movement capabilities.

The company commander Erwin was blown away by the "Intensified Fireball Technique", but in fact, his shield did not even show a crack. Except for being shaken to make the internal organs uncomfortable for several hours, there was nothing serious. Later, Massola realized that the material of this shield was made of keel bones.

In fact, even Erwin didn't know that the special company with only 500 people in total, from the establishment of the system to the present, the total cost is several times more expensive than the same number of cavalry units...

Their individual equipment is stronger than the Dragon Spear Knight with war horses. Everyone must be advanced to level 5 or above to be qualified to pass the screening. Under such conditions, they used their actions to prove how valuable the money was spent!

Two hundred and forty people took down a city of tens of millions of people, and such a thing can definitely be recorded in history. Massola was excited because his name will be circulated in the future.

"Four teams, have a meal!"

Erwin's voice came, and Masolah put down the bottle of potion in her hand, greeted her injured comrades beside her, and got up to eat. Their meal was directly the things left at the noble banquet. The company prohibited drinking, but chicken and beef were enough.

Masola ate his fill and went back to prepare for a rotation rest, and when he heard a soldier from six rows of soldiers coming to report the information—

"Report to the company commander! A messenger from the imperial city just caught at the south gate. This is the intercepted letter!"

Although Erwin has been trying hard to read for the past six months, the fonts of the royal letters are not fancy, and the grammar is completely different from those of spoken language. He had to ask the person next to him: "Who can understand? Read it for me?"

There were many people literate in the entire team, including the nobles of the Karen Kingdom...especially the royal fonts are not something ordinary people can understand. Therefore, after a roundabout way, Erwin found that no one could read the content of the letter.

His mind was spinning fast, and he directly dragged Viscount Catlan over. The latter thought he was going to be executed, so scared that he cried, which made the special forces soldiers look despised...

Is this the kingdom nobles who guard the important towns?

Massola stood not far away and curled his lips, then heard the noble tremblingly begin to read the letter. The general meaning was that the royal family asked Viscount Catlan to coordinate with all nearby towns immediately, collect all the food that could be collected, and quickly transport it to the retreating main force in the north.

"Oh, I understand."

Elvin waved his hand: "Twist him back to the dungeon and look at it."

Then he looked at the small magic clock he brought with him and continued to order: "Before ten o'clock, the agreed signal is ignited in the square, keep burning until twelve o'clock, and the Falcon will investigate during this period. The city gate is maintained at a first-level alert. If anyone has the intention to open it, he will be killed without mercy - remember, kill it regardless of whether it is a noble or not!"

"The expected airdrop should be near the Xicheng Gate, and prepare the team in advance for transportation."

"Yes! Company Commander!"

Responsive voices came one after another, and Massola knew that he had nothing to do at the moment, and "sleeping" was also a task for him. Therefore, he slept directly with his clothes on the big bed on the second floor.

At one o'clock, Massola was awakened by the roar of the propeller.

Running to the balcony and looking out, the huge figure of the Albatross transport plane was flying above the city. Last night's airdrop was about three thousand meters in order to make the noise less. This time, it was probably only about one thousand meters. Because on a sunny day, Massola could even see the slowly falling box of supplies after being thrown out of the tail cabin.

When it was time to rotate the guards, Massola rinsed her face with clear water and came to stand outside the command center. Soon after, the supplies were transported into the city by the carriages that had been prepared. The soldiers removed the magic circle on the box, opened it and began to assemble the large-sized communication magic circle. When the crystal was inserted, the troops immediately contacted the command center of the front line and the temple.

Listening to Elvin's loud voice reporting on military information, Massola pricked up his ears and listened for a long time. Only then did he realize that after his group of people airdrops, the "Albatross" had airdropped his other half of the special forces company to the "City of Bekolis" more than 100 kilometers eastward - the city was also a major area that could provide a large amount of food supply to the enemy troops. The airborne operation there was also very successful. At this moment, the city had been completely closed and any possibility of supporting the enemy was blocked.

"Our main force will arrive here in three days. Before that, everyone should pay close attention to possible counterattacks in the city, cooperate with the work of the Intelligence Bureau, and be sure to kill all resistance forces in the signs!"

"yes!"

Massola breathed a sigh of relief - thinking that the war had begun for less than a week, he didn't know if the royal family would surrender directly in three days?

*******

For Viscount Boragon, who is still on the way, the most important thing now is to hurry.

He had already contacted the troops on the east side. The troops with a total of more than 10,000 people were short of food during the retreat. More than 1,000 people had been reduced in two days - this was not starved to death, but the knights ran away with their entourage...

Before they could gather, they were directly hit by the enemy. Many people naturally chose to retreat when their morale was low. After all, they had to go hungry with the large army. After leaving, they could just go to that village to "collect" some food, which would be better than gnawing on the grass in the smelly camp.

Many of these escaped people did not even have the identity of "knight". Their departure often means that there are more horse bandits in the kingdom.

But now Boragorn didn't care about these things at all. He could only let all the nobles stand up and try to maintain morale through preaching, and try to find ways to delay the speed of the pursuers in the rear.

After crossing the Bordeaux River, Boragon immediately sent people to demolish all nearby bridges. Building bridges in this era is not easy - it takes half a day to demolish bridges, and it takes at least one day to build a simple floating bridge. If you want to let that huge truck pass, Boragon can't think of any way. Unless the other party spends several months to rebuild a solid stone bridge.

As long as there are no trucks or roads, the enemy's pursuit speed will not be as amazing as before. Viscount Boragorn thought so, so he is much more relaxed now than last night.
