    ¡®Is there something going on in Nohan?  What method did the Lucians use to bring this news to the front line, so that led to our chaos?  ¡¯ Barrett suddenly came up with this idea, and then the expression on his face was like biting into a lemon.  And Barrett¡¯s unabashed expression naturally fell into the eyes of the Ovaltine Knight.  Just by looking at Barrett's face, the knight knew that he must be thinking too much in his head.  Then he slapped Barrett on the shoulder: "Listen to me first, don't think about it alone." "Okay! Mr. Ovaltine, just tell me! What happened?  We Nohan have never had the tradition of refusing to admit defeat." When Barrett said this, he also met the eyes of the Ovaltine Knight.  "The heir of Viscount Brent died in the attack, and even the body was attacked by the scroll of the 'Feast of the Devil Dog' prepared in advance. Viscount Brent lost control of his emotions after seeing this scene, and then Lucia targeted him  The knights fought to the death, and all of this happened suddenly, causing the Viscounty of Brent's army to be defeated by the Lucians." Although the Ovaltian knight did not continue, Barrett also understood what was going on.  .  The top officer first lost his mind, and then was seriously injured.  Coupled with the sudden death of the heir to the territory, the morale of the army in the Brent Viscounty was indeed severely damaged.  If they were facing an ordinary army, this impact would not be enough to collapse, but now they were encountering Lucia soldiers who had risked their lives. They were finally unable to sustain themselves under the avalanche-like attack.  Details determine success or failure, especially on the battlefield.  The collapse of the Brent Viscounty's army immediately opened a very obvious breakthrough in the originally tight battle line of the Kingdom of Norhan.  If they do not choose to retreat, even the Kingdom of Norhan, which has gained an advantage in the knight battle, may not be able to prevent huge losses in the field. Although the knights won, their consumption was also not small.  The power that can be exerted at this time cannot completely influence the situation of the battle.  A war of attrition is the last thing the Norhan Kingdom wants to be dragged into when it confronts the Lucia Kingdom.  After all, the huge numerical advantage of the Kingdom of Lucia in terms of population is difficult to erase.  A temporary defeat in exchange for a large preservation of manpower can be regarded as a worthwhile deal for the Nohan Kingdom.  And believing that his army will not suffer heavy losses when retreating from the battlefield, the confidence that the monarch of the Kingdom of Nohan has in his army is indeed embarrassing to most people.  We must know that no matter what era it is, it is difficult for a defeated army to survive the enemy's pursuit. The most famous generals are those who can successfully fight a retreat.  However, the confidence of the Nohan royal family is based on the victory of the Nohan army again and again, each with a miracle. And this time the army did not live up to the expectations given by the royal family, and was not occupied by the Kingdom of Lucia during the retreat.  to any cheaper.  Instead, they took advantage of the Lucian people's greed for power and took advantage of one of their thousand-man troops.  I have to say that the choice at that time was indeed very correct.  Barrett, who had generally sorted out the cause and effect, suddenly thought of something, and then his voice became louder: "Wait, Knight of Ovaltine, are you right? Are you sure it's the Feast of the Dog Demon? Those Lucia  What on earth is that bastard doing? "The spell "The Feast of the Dog Demon" has no other use than to completely kill a soul.  The diamond in the hands of the caster turned back into carbon, and then into flying dust, which fell on the corpse.  At the moment of contact, black flames ignited, leaving no bones of the burned corpse, not even ashes.  The black flames burned and swayed on the corpse, completely annihilating him.  The caster destroys the remaining corpse of the creature, rendering it unable to return by any means of resurrection.  Under this spell, using "Miracle" and "Wish" to resurrect a destroyed target will have a 50% failure rate, and each destroyed creature can only check once.  If the check fails, the creature can no longer be resurrected using mortal spells.  To put it simply, he is dead.  The casting material for this priest's 6th-level spell and the mage's 7th-level spell is a diamond worth 5,000 gold coins.  If it were only made into a scroll, the cost would probably be over 8,000 gold coins.  What's more important is that this kind of soul-destroying behavior has completely offended the existing nobles of the Western Continent.  This is not only because it destroys most of the possibilities for the resurrection of the dead, but also involves all the red lines drawn by the gods. Those who destroy the soul will be permanently nailed to the evil camp. No matter what spells or supernatural abilities, they will not be able to  Change their alignment.  To be added tomorrow "Now is not the time to talk about this! Since the past has passed, what's the point of mentioning him. It's better to solve the problem at hand quickly! I don't think you, Zeta, want to be involved in the entire Principality of Norhan.  , forming this one may beLet¡¯s say it¡¯s a bad image of being afraid of war because of excessive losses!  So the quality of the soldiers is just a little bit worse!  But the soldiers from that faction must line up, and they'd better move quickly.  Otherwise, it will appear that you are timid and unable to make up your mind on this issue.  "Knight Val is now seizing the opportunity to bring the conversation that has deviated from the main topic back on track. "Thanks to Knight Val, you were able to act so calmly when you came back. You are better at nourishing qi in this area than I am.  "" Zeta complained in his heart, and relied on his ability to accelerate his thinking to reply to Val Knight's question: "But I really don't want to treat the civilians in the territory as consumables to bring down the battlefield.  superior.  Val Knight, please don't think that my idea is a woman's kindness. This is indeed related to the development and stability of our territory.  After all, according to the current situation, the number of adult men in the territory can no longer keep up with the demand of the industry.  " Knight Farval found it very difficult to understand what Zeta said: "What's the big deal? There is no territory in the war that does not need to experience such a situation.  " "But if possible, I don't want this situation to happen in our territory.  At the very least, we should delay the occurrence of this situation as much as possible and reduce its impact.  I have little influence on the entire principality, but I also hope that other lords in the principality can agree with my approach.  "As Zeta paused for a moment, he changed his tone and continued, "Knight Val, do you still remember what we said before about why we should support those small countries invaded by Lucia?  " "You have said this more than once in front of me!  My ears are numb from hearing it, how could I still not remember it?  "The face of Knight Val immediately showed an expression of 'Although he and I are father and son, Zeta, please don't compare me to Shiren.' But before Zeta could say anything else, Knight Val's  His expression changed, as if he suddenly thought of something in what Zeta just said. With a hesitant look on his face, he asked in an uncertain tone: "Zeta, you are worried about consuming the potential of the Lucia Kingdom's war.  In the midst of competition.  We, the Principality of Norhan, have worked too hard and exhausted too much of our own potential.  On the contrary, what you get is not as good as what you pay.  Zeta shook his head and said: "That's not the case. After all, we are not the only ones involved in this operation."  In terms of losses, our Principality of Norhan cannot possibly suffer more losses than the Kingdom of Lucia.  " "Then what are you worried about" But before Knight Val could finish what he said, Zeta's next words put his thirst back into his throat. "But it's just a war that consumes other countries.  Potential is simply not enough.  After all, a country's war potential will continue to recover over time.  If the speed of our own recovery and development in the Principality of Norhan cannot exceed that of the Kingdom of Lucia.  What they are doing now is just delaying the other party's time to launch a war.  It is impossible to increase the chips of victory for ourselves in the war that may break out in the future.  "After finally speaking out the words that he had been holding in his heart for a long time, Zeta felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his body. Both his body and mind felt a different feeling.  Such ease. "The recovery and development speed of the Kingdom of Lucia still needs to exceed the limit?  If this is the case, it is really a big trouble!  "Knight Val is also a smart man, so he still doesn't know what Zeta's words mean! But it is precisely because of this that after knowing these contents, he has the same troubles that belong to smart people like Zeta.  "The Kingdom of Lucia has a huge territory, abundant support, and a large population.  This makes its recovery base far beyond what our Nohan Principality can match.  Similarly, the losses they can bear are not comparable to those of our Nohan Principality.  "As he spoke, Zeta jumped up from his position, waving his fist and shouted, "But we can't give up just yet. If we can completely inflict pain on the Kingdom of Lucia in this war, thereby damaging  To its hematopoietic function.  Then we will definitely have a greater chance of winning in the next war that may break out.  But another factor here is that we, Nohan, cannot lose too much of our own strength.  Otherwise, everything you have done before will have little meaning.  " After thinking for a while, Val Knight showed quite a contradiction: "Okay!  You are right in this regard, but the traditions of the Nohan Principality cannot be ignored.  You must know that the reason why Nohan is now feared by the Kingdom of Lucia is the power that tradition brings to us.  Although the loss this time was huge, completely wiping out a heavy cavalry regiment of the Kingdom of Lucia can be considered a huge gain!  After all, the other party wants to reorganize a heavy cavalry regiment, even ifIt will take nearly ten years to draw backbones from other front armies before they can return to their original combat effectiveness.  From this aspect, it can be regarded as achieving the purpose of affecting the enemy's hematopoietic ability that you mentioned, Zeta!  " "That's true in this case.  But Mr. Val, you should know how much risk you took to win this battle, right?  Zeta asked in an accentuated tone, "The reason why we were able to win this time was probably because of the impact the knights' powerful strength had on the enemy!"  What would happen if Lucia also sent knights?  Even if they cannot defeat the knights of our Bolum Territory, as long as they can contain them within a certain period of time, those ordinary expeditionary army soldiers will end up being annihilated!  " Even though Val Knight deliberately wanted to favor the frontline commander, he partially agreed with Zeta's remarks: "The risk this time is indeed too great.  However, this cannot be entirely blamed on the old man and the others. When they lured the enemy, they did not know that they would directly encounter the opponent's ace troops.  The ace troops were supposed to be on standby in the military camp waiting to attack, but I don't know why Lucia's Ninth Front Army was so different here.  " Since the result of the battle is quite satisfactory, Zeta is certainly not prepared to delve into this matter further: "I will send someone to inform the front line tomorrow, and we will not allow such high-risk combat plans to be carried out in the future.  I have said before that we do not need to fight for others.  However, Lucia's knights did not go out with the army, which is a very happy thing!  It seems that the conflicts between the knights and non-knight nobles in their country are far more serious than what is shown to the world.  " Regarding Zeta's guess, Val Knight nodded: "Zeta, your idea should be right.  At the beginning, we did not send out knights. It can also be said that the opponent was too weak and there was no need to do so.  Later, when we sent knights for our reinforcements, those knights actually acted separately from the army. There was definitely something wrong with this.  But thanks to this, otherwise our Nohan Principality would not have achieved such a good record!  ¡± But verbal complaints are complaints, but in reality, what should be done still has to be done. Sometimes between ideals and reality, people often have to surrender to reality to find a way out. Having completed the work of the document in hand  Tower finally made up his mind and issued an order: "Ives Barnet sent a notice to the barracks. From tomorrow on, the group of former lone adventurers in the territory who have been recruited into the army for less than a year will find a way to pull them out."  Form a separate team.  " Yves Barnett, who understood what his immediate boss was worried about recently, immediately figured out Zeta's intention in making this decision. As a subordinate, Yves was worried about Zeta's behavior.  S. Barnett doesn¡¯t quite agree. (To be continued.)
