Chapter 153 The Butcher Knife

Chapter 153 Butcher Knife

When the steam train that Shuge took finally arrived at the rugged station, he felt that he could already hear the dull roar coming from the far, far away horizon.

I don't know if it was thunder or gunfire.

Or is it just a pure illusion?

If Bolden, the capital of the Kingdom of Votel, only has a strong atmosphere of war, then the small town called "Brown Hill" where Shuge is now has simply been transformed into a huge military camp.

In other words, this is a small town-like distribution center and transfer station for people and materials.

The large-scale secret ritual set up by the Council has shrouded the entire town of Brown Hill. The magical light and shadow flashing in the air from time to time can give people a sufficient sense of security. This is a necessary measure. In the war, the logistics center

The impact of being hit is immeasurable.

Supplies, ordnance, soldiers, craftsmen and other people are constantly being sent here. Xiuge saw a lot of workers here, most of them helping with the transportation work. Judging from the clothes of these people, they should

They are all residents of Brown Hill Town, including men, women, and even some half-grown children.

"This town has a long history. It is said that during the war two hundred years ago, it has been an important stronghold of the Kingdom of Votel... During this period, it also suffered several sneak attacks from the plains army."

Meyer's erudition is shameful. In these days, he has taken the time to have an in-depth understanding of past war sand table records and the history of some important places. As he said when he first met Shouge, he came to

Going to the front line is not only to fulfill the duties of a doctor, but also to learn and inspect.

He watched the porters, under the guidance of soldiers and medical trainees, continue to unload some important instruments and equipment from the carriage, and then he breathed a heavy breath: "With this kind of mobilization and transportation speed, we could not completely do it in the past.

It's unimaginable... Once these railways can connect cities to cities and countries to countries, the actual distance between everyone will be shortened."

Once this important passage can be blocked, the front line from the rugged hills in the south to Salem will be able to receive more powerful support. If conditions permit, the Delan people can even drive straight in through the Silver Corridor to achieve a strategic breakthrough.

Of course Shuge himself knew what was going on.

"Tsk."

The Delan army, which formed a dense formation and advanced under the protection of a large-scale protective ceremony, became meat that was wantonly cut up.

He can always find a special sense of beauty in the construction of infrastructure. Even though Shuge knows that everything he is busy with now will actually be used to kill humans, but fortunately, the nature of the field hospital can greatly

Reduce negative psychological effects to a certain extent.

The Delans' attack was not a rash one. Their legions gathered at the "Silver Corridor" very efficiently. Therefore, after receiving the effective information obtained by the observation balloon and the penetration and reconnaissance help of the sword-wielding hermits of the Legal Committee, the commander in charge here

General O. Mark made a decisive judgment and decision. They hoped to take the initiative to push the front to the Black Nest Mountains before the Votel people's supply line in the "Silver Corridor" was fully established.

The fleet of the Kingdom of Hain has already set off and came into contact with the fleet of the Principality of Bult in the waters south of the Goddess Plain. The new destroyers of the Kingdom of Hain performed well and won the first battle, sinking and damaging three armored cruisers of the Principality of Bult.

, but at the same time, a new destroyer of the Kingdom of Hain was also hit by a heavy crystal cannon installed on a heavy gunboat. Although it was not sunk, it was also seriously damaged.

Even Wei Lin felt some pressure. In order to prevent Xiuge from making mistakes due to greed for speed during the work, she deliberately took the time to come over twice so that potential mistakes could be corrected in a timely manner.

The butcher knife was lifted by Votel soldiers.

A behemoth like the Ernst family, which has considerable influence in the military, can indeed perform "operations" to a certain extent, but this kind of "operations" will not go too far.



These days, he has completely synchronized his life rhythm with the army. He has become accustomed to the ritual maintenance and inspection four times a day, and has also become accustomed to the roar of the steam trains that continue to arrive at the Brown Hill Station.

"How can we fight without killing people?"

Facts have proved that her worries were basically unnecessary.

"The field hospital has been basically completed and is almost ready to receive the wounded."

"The guys in the 'Silver Corridor' had very dark intentions. They didn't use the Kalfan heavy machine gun at all in the beginning. Instead, they finally launched it after the Delans army had come into contact with the first line of defense...

At that time, the Delan people's crystal cannons will usually stop shelling to avoid accidentally damaging their own side."

Seeing Alfred's appearance, Shuge also gave up his previous business-like attitude. He spread his hands and said, "For more important matters, you should talk to Mr. Krauts or Professor...I, a stream-level mage, can

What can I do for you? It can’t be to help you deliver a letter to some girl in the hospital, right?"

Alfred suppressed the excitement on his face and sighed: "We have to prepare to receive the first batch of wounded. The Plainsmen and the Legal Committee have reached an alliance. Although the weapons they use are lagging behind, they can hit the target."

The soldiers will still die... not to mention they have many more spellcasters than us."

"Our casualties are not small. I think the first line of defense was recaptured later?"

Position arrangements relatively close to the rear, some positions with less workload and certain status, or special jobs such as commanders, guards, mage secretaries, etc... These arrangements can often maximize the benefits of family members.

security guarantee, and this arrangement will not have too much negative impact on the overall military.

The habit of "regular and stable life" has long been engraved in his bone marrow. Even if he changes his body or changes the world, this habit cannot be easily changed.

The conversation with Meyer did not last long. Both of them had tasks to complete.

Hearing Alfred say this, Sugar instinctively reported, but then he saw the major raise his hand, and his tone became a little lazy: "Stop, my dear Mr. Sugar, I'm calling you

I'm not here just to listen to your work report..."

Alfred corrected: "It's a conservative estimate of 30,000 people."

In this strange world, history once again takes a familiar pace.

Battle reports from the front line began to come in continuously.

After this period of contact, Krautz felt a lot more relieved about Xiuge. He even felt that it was a waste for people like Xiuge not to be mobilized to the front line. However, he also followed the original plan.

Planning and arrangement gave Xiuge a relatively safe and leisurely job.

Shuge had already seen the gathering signal of the military mages sent by Krauts, so he bid farewell to Meyer and rushed towards the designated place.

It was as if he was very adaptable to this kind of regular work and life in a big environment.

This speed is really embarrassing.

Xiuge had no objection to this arrangement.

It is really puzzling that this characteristic appears in a young member of the Ernst family.

Even in Votel's history, there were many aristocratic children who were severely punished for violating military discipline.

In the next period of time, he will be responsible for the maintenance and inspection of the Brown Hill Town Field Hospital and its surrounding magical protection rituals. This is an important basis for ensuring that the field hospital is not infiltrated and invaded. According to the Fifth Chasseur Regiment

According to the request, two other stream-level mages from the council were also tasked with this task, as well as nine mage apprentices assigned to everyone and an entire fully equipped infantry company.

When Shuge received this briefing from Major Alfred and read it, his body couldn't help but tremble twice.

In addition to thoughts and concepts, this is the imprint left on him by his past experiences and life.

Everything was going on step by step. Although the efficiency of the repair was amazing, there was no error in the proper process. He even found time to take a few idle mage apprentices to Meyer.

The professor is here to help.

Major Alfred's whole state changed when he talked about this matter. He was a very typical Votel officer. Killing the enemy and counting their numbers seemed to him to be a matter of course.

But when the numbers on the paper were exaggerated to the point where it was difficult to make detailed statistics, he became a little dizzy.

"Xuge, I can't even imagine that if my friends weren't also in the Silver Corridor, I would almost think that they were falsifying the briefing for military glory!"

Alfred nodded: "At that time, the earthquake and magical changes destroyed the blockade ceremony set up by the Legal Committee in Salem City, so for a while, the people in the city had a chance to escape... In fact,

Some people did escape, and we have now found that group of refugees from Salem City."

Alfred smacked his lips: "Okay, that's the end of the joke... I came to you mainly for one thing."

Xiuge smiled and said nothing.

That butcher knife was eventually named the "Kalvan Type II Heavy Steam Crystallization Machine Gun", referred to as the "Kalfan Heavy Machine Gun".

In Walter's army, noble status cannot bring any explicit preferential treatment.

Such a discovery made Wei Lin, Krauts and others feel extremely surprised and incomprehensible. They were not questioning Shuge's enthusiasm. After all, in the Kingdom of Walter, he burst out in a short period of time because he joined the army.

There are many young people with great enthusiasm and initiative, but they can all feel that Xiuge's mood is not high at all - he is always in an extremely calm and stable state.

He knows what such a world would be like.

In the "Silver Corridor" area near the Black Nest Mountains, the number of Votel's troops here was much lower than the assembled army of the Kingdom of Deland, so the Delan people confidently launched an active attack here.

He exhaled heavily: "Now, I'm afraid that place will have to be renamed 'Silver Hell'."

"Of course, it has something to do with the earthquake?"

However, the Delan people's confidence resulted in a battle that could be called a massacre.

Whether it is cultural habits or historical traditions, the norms and systems of Votel's army are given top priority. In the face of those stringent requirements, everyone's identity, bloodline, and family must make concessions.

He raised his head and looked at Xiuge: "Have you heard about the previous big earthquake?"

Shuge's eyes swept back and forth over the last few lines of the briefing. Then he raised his head and confirmed to Alfred with some uncertainty: "On the first day... thirty thousand people?"

The St. Steele people are advancing aggressively on the Isar River front. However, limited by the coverage of the railway tracks, the effectiveness of heavy weapons such as snowfield cannons in supporting the battlefield has begun to decline significantly. As more plain troops arrive,

On the front line, the army of the Principality of Imope, which had suffered heavy losses before, finally stabilized its position and began to organize an effective counterattack.

Such a configuration can fully meet the needs of protecting field hospitals. At the current stage, this level of manpower can even be said to be somewhat overflowing.

"What else can be done?"

The rest of the damage is not shown for now.

Although his sense of belonging to Walter and the army was relatively limited, this extremely regular and orderly work and lifestyle made him feel very familiar, so he quickly got into the work mode and followed Weilin's instructions.

He and his colleagues completed the establishment of the basic framework of the ceremony almost on the day he accepted the order. If there were not still some important ceremony materials that were still in transit, the repair would have been difficult.

Ge probably already wanted to complete the large-scale protection ceremony that day.

Once you enter a regular state, time begins to pass quickly.

The major of the 5th Chasseur Regiment handed over another letter. Shuge saw the seal of the Walter royal family on it, and then he heard Alfred say: "This news spread very quickly. In short, Bol

The people over there already know it, and they hope that we can properly handle these refugees and allow them to be interviewed... You know, this matter is quite important to us, to control public opinion."

Shuge looked at the letter in his hand: "I probably understand that the above hopes to use this to condemn Merlin Lehe's atrocities? But I remember that our artillery fired at Salem City."

"It depends on whether those refugees find shells more terrifying, or whether hunger and monsters are more terrifying."

Alfred spread his hands: "You have lived in Salem City, you know this city well, and you are a noble and a mage... No matter which point you start from, you are better able to win the trust of those refugees. How about coming forward and talking to them?"

Do they talk?"
