"The beasts are gone!

Cheers rang out from the formation, and the beasts that had gathered at the entrance of the passage dispersed like a tidal wave, leaving only patches of corpses. The machine gunner www.biquge.info release the trigger, only to find that the thumb knuckle was numb from the shock, and the barrel of the gun, which had not had time to be replaced, faintly revealed a dark red, and according to the shooting regulations, it was obviously scrapped.

"It looks scary, and it doesn't look like a fight. ”

"It's not as terrible as the Church's Divine Punishment Army. ”

"It's just a bunch of beasts, after all. ”

"What the hell are you, beasts? You take a hunting bow and compare with them? Three years ago, this thing caused the whole Western Realm to be unsettled, and it was Your Majesty who changed all this, understand!"

"Yes, yes, Captain!"

"If you have time to celebrate, let's change the barrel first, really. ”

Edith stood at the back of the position, looking at the busy and orderly officers of the First Army, with a thoughtful expression. Ever since she had participated in Operation Tooth Extraction and the Church Blockade with Roland's army, she had been imagining what she would do to bring out the highest power of firearms if she were in command.

There was no doubt that this was a brand new army, completely different from the fighting methods of the Knights and Mercenary Wings, and it was not easy to forget the glorious experience of leading the charge and relying on superior weapons and personal prowess to achieve victory, but when she realized that the Knights and the like were completely unable to compete with the new army, she resolutely abandoned the part of her experience that she was good at, and instead carefully observed His Majesty's every move. And under today's actual combat verification, she found that her thinking was basically correct.

The most striking feature of firearms is that they can kill opponents with great efficiency in places out of their reach, regardless of the distance between their teams and physical exertion. Therefore, the narrower the firing surface, the denser its firepower, as long as the supplies can keep up, it can fight from morning to night without stopping.

There were only two squads of soldiers in the line where there were only three or four knights charging side by side, and the arrangement of three machine guns was not because it could not fit more, but because the number of machine guns and bullets was limited. But even so, its heaviness makes it difficult for the hybrid to move - no aim, no physical exertion, just pull the trigger. When the enemies were too dense, she could even see a thick mist of blood rising from the entrance of the cave.

If His Majesty were to take command, it wouldn't have been better.

The only thing that made her a little unpredictable was the actions of the evil beast.

It was clear that some of the enemies had the most basic intelligence, and when they saw that it was difficult to penetrate the cave, many hybrids began to wander outside the cave, occasionally calling twice, but not stepping forward, as if they were instigating other evil beasts to die. But if they have the ability to think, why should they obey the instructions of the strange screams? Unlike the lords, who are loyal to the lord, there is a relationship of provision and protection between the two, but the evil beasts obviously do not need to maintain such a relationship, as long as they escape into the wilderness, they can live alone, unlike humans, who cannot exist in isolation from the group.

Could it be that there was some kind of connection between the beast and the owner of the voice that she couldn't understand, and that connection even overrode survival?

It was hard for her to imagine that.

Either wait until the exploration is over, and ask Roland's Majesty what he thinks, Edith thought to herself.

Now Neverwinter can surprise her, or make her hard-fathomed, the only one who can surprise her—not in character, but in what he thinks. Whenever she talked to him, she couldn't help but wonder about the question: How broad can the human mind be?

"Miss Edith, you've really helped a lot this time......" Brian's voice interrupted her thoughts, and when she turned around, she saw the young officer's face full of gratitude, "When I make a post-war report, I will definitely report your merits to Your Majesty in full!"

"That's just what I'm supposed to do," Edith smiled, "and I wasn't sure it would work at the time, so you don't have to mention my suggestion in your report......

"Then how can it be done!" Brian shook his head repeatedly, "Your Majesty said that the army is a place where only the results are judged, not the process. A victory is a victory, and if I conceal your merits because of this, it will be no different from a thief, and it will be unfair to you!"

"Okay...... "Northland Pearl shrugged, "if you insist." ”

"Of course. At this point, he paused slightly, and then stood up and gave a military salute, "In addition, I now understand a little bit of what you said about trust. First Army, thank you for your advice, I still have a lot to do next, forgive me for missing out. ”

Looking at the back of the departing commander of the musket battalion, Edith suddenly understood why His Majesty would choose a patrol leader from a frontier place to serve as an important position in the army. Exploits were the basis for knights to ask their lords for rewards, and they were the last thing they wanted to share with others, and there were countless forgeries and lies, even if they were close to her.

Although the First Army differed in details, in general promotions and rewards were still linked to merit, and she was not a member of the army, and even if the other party completely concealed the matter, she would not be able to take the initiative to make a plea to His Majesty. Just to abide by the word justice, he can calmly share the low-hanging fruit with others, and the former patrol leader is in fact more like a knight than most knights.

Loyal to His Majesty and upright by nature, this is probably the reason why Roland has entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility. Command ability and level of insight can be cultivated, but character is difficult to reverse. Edith noticed this early on, and the spirit and momentum of His Majesty's First Army were completely different from those of the knights of the past, and it could be called completely new. Abandoning the power of the aristocracy, choosing only civilians to enlist in the army, and then combining with the ideological education mixed in the elementary textbooks, may be the key to forging this army.

And now, she can be regarded as leaving her name in the army.

......

Half a day later, Roland received the information that the situation had been eased, and at this time, the 100-man advance reinforcements urgently dispatched had already boarded the ship and set off, and more reinforcements were also packing up and waiting for the departure order. Even the newcomers to the League of Witches, Annie, Broken Sword, and others are ready to help. From the town hall to the First Army, the entire Neverwinter was on the verge of a great enemy, more nervous than being attacked by the beasts, only to find out that it was a false alarm.

The messenger was still Maisie, and looking at the latter's high head and slightly open mouth, Roland couldn't cry or laugh for a while. He pulled some strips of beef out of a drawer and spilled them on the table, and the latter pecked them happily.

However, due to morale concerns, he did not order the vanguard to turn back halfway, but replaced Anne's group, which had planned to set off with a ship, with Zoroa and Asha, so as to better explore the ruins in a comprehensive way.
