Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Report
This war is temporarily over.
The Kingdom of Lankau suffered more than 13,000 casualties at one time, and there were also many casualties during the six-hour duration of the decisive battle. The total number of casualties directly resulted in the destruction of two armies!
Less than 3,000 people survived the 2nd and 3rd armies in the west of Lanco, and all the knight mechas on the front line were destroyed! Less than 5,000 people survived the 2nd army in the north. They were originally supporting the battle, and they didn't fight on the front line, so they saved half of their troops.
Among them, the commander of the Second Army Group was too close to the strike range of the Heavenly Punishment and was severely injured on the spot by the energy released by the impact. Even the subsequent emergency treatment by the priests was unable to save him.
Misfortune, sacrifice.
The Kingdom of Lankovo announced its withdrawal and announced to the outside world that the Kingdom of Armenia used unknown forbidden magic!
Because all the magicians and powerful warriors who were alive at that time had never felt any concentration of magic power, nor had they felt any fluctuations of magic.
By the time they reacted, there were only a few seconds left and it was too late to evacuate!
The Kingdom of Armenia also issued an emergency announcement.
That unknown seventh-level magic was approaching the eighth-level magic. It was suspected to be caused by the soldiers' illegal use of magic items left by their ancestors. The incident is still under investigation.
Our country does not possess any weird, forbidden, powerful range magic!
Although public opinion was somewhat unfavorable to them, thanks to this, the fifty Nostalgia missiles were no longer important and could well cover up the aid from the Kingdom of Avisu.
At the same time, the reasons they gave do have a certain degree of possibility.
At least in terms of credibility, it is much higher than the unknown magic controlled by the Kingdom of Yaminik itself. Otherwise, it could have secretly fired a few shots at the army stationed by the Kingdom of Rankow, and it would have been hard to say who would have been invaded.
As for Hatti.
Perhaps he will eventually get the reward as he wishes. After all, the achievements he made are real and did not cause too many casualties to his side. If he is really punished, it will not be convincing.
Of course, the title is impossible because an explanation needs to be given to the Kingdom of Lankovo.
In order to avoid their subsequent angry revenge, Hati could not be given the title openly, otherwise he would also have a title similar to Million-Man Slaughterer corresponding to the title. Then this title would be a shame for the Kingdom of Lancowu!
Are you worried that Hattery might change his words, leading to a leak?
No need to worry at all.
He is a smart man. If he uses an unknown magic item given by someone else, or uses it without being sure of its authenticity, then no matter how many enemies he kills, he will definitely be sent to the guillotine!
Only by biting your ancestors to death can you have a chance to live, or even be rewarded!
Even if you do act stupid, it doesn't matter.
Because there is no evidence to point out who gave it to him.
Including the note, it was also a product of special wood magic. I'm afraid that Hathi himself didn't know that when he wasn't paying attention, the note he kept as evidence just in case had turned into elements and dissipated, leaving no trace.
The Kingdom of Avisu.
Angus, who went to provide assistance, has reported back with his subordinates.
But there was one person missing, and that was Su Lian.
Where's the little guy? Caroline asked.
In Caroline's office, standing next to him was a young man wearing a military uniform and holding a certain military rank.
General Caroline, Suman Liandel was brought back by Prince Ersha himself when we crossed the Black Darius Mountains. Angus replied.
So what do you think about this incident? Caroline asked.
Angus was silent for a moment.
If you have any questions, please ask first. Caroline seemed to have realized something.
Then forgive me for being frank. I may not know much about Prince Ersha, but his grandson, Liandel, has great ambitions! He may pose a threat to the kingdom! Angus said bluntly!
He was certain that Su Lian was no ordinary child!
So? Caroline looked curious.
So I think that the unknown seventh-level, or perhaps eighth-level, range magic is related to Liandel! Angus deduced.
Oh? Did he say something strange to you? Something about magic? Caroline laughed.
It has nothing to do with magic, but there are some sensitive words about war and the kingdom. I still remember the original words roughly, and I can describe them if necessary. Angus answered truthfully.
Hahaha, no, no, that must be the little guy trying to act like an adult and saying some nonsense. Caroline burst into laughter.
It seems that he thinks that Su Lian is just a person with a middle school syndrome and has delusions like an ordinary child.
But General Caroline... Angus wanted to say something.
At this time.
Master Angus, I think you may have misunderstood.
The young man standing next to Caroline suddenly spoke with a respectful smile.
Who is this... Angus asked in confusion.
Oh, I forgot to introduce to you. The secretary I just promoted, Walker Harrimos, happens to be in the same class as that little guy. Caroline said with a smile.
For some reason, there seemed to be something hidden in his smile.
Oh... Angus nodded slightly.
Little Liandel, what a joke. When he was only ten years old, he was already talking about conquering countries. Hasn't his childish fantasy period ended yet? Walker shook his head helplessly.
The man who was once called Brother Walker by Su Lian is now under the command of Caroline, the leader of the Hawkish faction.
So, don't take the kid's words to heart. If that magic is really related to that kid, then Prince Ersha found a chance to leave during the banquet last month. Wouldn't he have killed the king and the other princes with just one shot?
Yeah, hahaha.
Caroline laughed as if she were hearing a joke.
If there is such a thing, all he needs to do is to kill the king and the rest of the princes. With Ersha's current influence, wouldn't he be able to securely inherit the new throne?
I am indeed too sensitive. I'm sorry, General. Angus.
It's okay, it's okay. You've been busy for so long. Go back and have a good rest. I'll approve a few days of leave for you. Caroline was still smiling.
Thank you for your help, General. Angus said finally and left the office.
As Angus left, Caroline's laughter gradually stopped and her expression turned cold.
Obviously, everything that just happened was acted.
Do you think that the little brother who seems familiar to you is someone who speaks without restraint and says strange things in front of Angus? Caroline asked.
I don't think that someone who can hide his true grades in the military academy and continue to keep a low profile afterwards would be so careless. Walker replied.
Oh? The real results? Caroline narrowed her eyes, and a sense of oppression instantly acted on Walker.
Yes. Walker nodded, his tone slightly paused, obviously feeling the pressure.
But he quickly continued.
Because of his age, I was very curious. I also knew that his grandfather was Prince Ersha, so I wanted to get close to him. So I happened to find that he deliberately answered the test questions incorrectly, more than once.
It could be a coincidence once, after all, kids can remember things wrongly. But if you get the questions you normally answer right wrong more than once during the test, and if it happens to someone who already has excellent grades, then you have to be suspicious.
Really? That means he really discovered that I sent Angus over there on purpose? Caroline couldn't help but grin.
Walker was stunned? Sending Angus over here on purpose meant...
Although Angus is under my jurisdiction, he is actually a stubborn royalist who advocates the idea of stability for the royal family.
Prince Ersha should be very clear about this, and that clever little fellow should also know it.
Obviously, the strange words he said to Angus were not simply outspoken or a test to see if he could win him over. Instead, he was using his mouth to let him express certain attitudes to me.
Carolyn said simply, which was also an explanation to Walker.
But isn't little Liandel afraid of General Angus and will he tell General Butler and the others directly? Walker was puzzled.
So what? Caroline asked.
Walker was startled, but soon fell silent.
Although those words that just expressed Liandel's childishness to Angus were actually instructed by Caroline.
But in terms of appearance...
He is only a twelve-year-old child after all. Even the words of a prince of this age cannot carry the credibility of authority.
Even if they did guess something, what else can they do besides secretly guarding against Prince Ersha? Openly investigating a prince who brought magic vehicles to the entire kingdom, actively weakened his own military strength, and offered military research results for free?
And the cause was simply because of the words of a child?
Caroline asked back coldly.
I was stupid! Walker.
Caroline didn't continue talking, but rummaged through the documents on her desk.
You told me before that he expressed to you that he wanted to occupy the Kingdom of Armenia or something? Caroline asked while searching through the documents.
Yes, on the day of our graduation, there were exchange students from the Kingdom of Armenia coming over, and one of them was a rather special girl of Handong descent, and she started the conversation with that and said that.
I still remember the original words:
The army I command will conquer her country sooner or later.
Walker still remembers this sentence because the impression was extremely deep.
Han Dong descent? It's this girl, right? Caroline found it from the documents.
Military Academy Secret Files——Nalin Setet.
Yes! It's her, a very beautiful little girl with black hair, easy to recognize. Walker nodded.
She is now a classmate of Liandel Pole Star Academy, and she lives directly in Prince Ersha's house during the summer vacation. Caroline said.
This... Walker was confused.
Didn't they say they were going to conquer her country? Did they conquer her first?
Are you surprised? There are even more unexpected things. Caroline said with a smile.
besides?
