Chapter 517: Mission Obstruction
When it was almost noon in the game, Jiang Fei ransacked two more towns, and the refugee team led by Mulan had reached more than 13,000 people, including ordinary civilians except for less than 700 soldiers.
"Lord Emissary, the nearby towns have been evacuated, what should we do next?" asked Mulan as Jiang Fei flew down again.
"Have you evacuated the town a little farther away?" Jiang Fei was a little addicted at this time, after all, it was too fast and too easy to make money like this!
"The rest of the towns are relatively close to our fortress, and the demon raiding forces shouldn't dare to get closer, and we can't take care of more people!" Mulan said.
"Hmm......" Jiang Fei groaned, and what Mulan said was also the truth.
After all, even with the guards of each town, there are less than 700 soldiers under Mulan's men, and it is already very difficult for these people to maintain order for more than 10,000 refugees, and because they are in a hurry, many refugees do not bring enough food and water, so there have been many robberies in the refugee group, which makes Mulan's soldiers even more tired to deal with.
"Okay! Let's move them into the hinterland first!" Jiang Fei thought for a moment and made a decision.
Although the ransacking of a few more towns can bring Jiang Fei more wealth, if these refugees are not resettled quickly, the refugees without food and water can become a mob in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Fei's mission will be in vain.
Jiang Fei was still pretending to patrol the non-existent demon sneak attack troops in the sky, while Mulan was organizing these refugees to advance towards the hinterland of the Bright Camp.
More than 10,000 people marched mightily, and soon attracted the attention of the bright camp, and a sentry cavalry galloped over, but Mulan was a serious general of the bright camp, and she had the hand of the holy woman, so these cavalry did not dare to stop after briefly understanding the situation, but just rushed back and reported the news to the commander on the front line.
Bernard, the front-line commander of the light camp, is the same as the front-line commander of the dark camp, Elwin, who is a high-level commander of level eighty-five, and as soon as he heard that the civilians on the front line were evacuated in large numbers, he was on fire at that time!
"How can this be! No, they must be brought back!" Bernard immediately ordered.
The reason why Bernard forbade civilians to retreat to the hinterland of the light camp was because if these civilians stayed in the border area, they could provide all kinds of supplies for the defenders of the light camp, and if all these materials were transferred from the interior, then not only would they consume a lot, but they would also be easily cut off by the sneak attack troops of the dark camp!
Not only that, if the war is scorched, these civilians will be immediately forcibly conscripted as soldiers, and they will rush to the front line as cannon fodder to play a certain role in defending against the attack of the dark camp, so these civilians staying on the front line of the war is very beneficial to the defense line of the light camp.
"Lord Commander, we can't stop it! It was the Holy Maiden's Guard who organized the evacuation of these people, and it was General Mulan at the helm!" Bernard's officers were dismayed.
"Hey, this saint is so annoying! I've been caught because of my recklessness, and now she's causing trouble for me!" Bernard frowned.
Although Bernard and the Holy Maiden of Light are both loyal to the camp of light, the two have completely different concepts of war, Bernard believes that the purpose of war is victory, and even if a people's war is launched in order to win, it doesn't matter how many casualties there are.
But the Holy Maiden of Light believes that the purpose of war is to protect the safety of the people, and if it comes at the expense of civilian lives, then this war should not be fought!
So when Heinz threatened to slaughter the entire town, the Holy Maiden of Light was able to hold out until reinforcements arrived with the help of the defense of the Moonlight Monastery, but she was voluntarily captured by the demons.
And this kind of behavior is unreasonable in Bernard's opinion, because the value of a light saintess is far more than the civilians of a small town, and the civilians of a small town die when they die, but the saint was captured, and the light camp fell into passivity all of a sudden, and in the next light and dark decisive battle, they could only passively defend because they were worried about the safety of the saint, and did not dare to take the initiative to attack!
Different concepts of war, so Bernard can not tolerate these civilians withdrawing from the battlefield, in his eyes, but as a member of the light camp, you are obliged to give your life for the light camp, whether you are a citizen or a soldier!
Although Bernard resolutely did not allow these civilians to withdraw from the battlefield, his brow furrowed when he heard Xiaobing's report that the general who organized the evacuation was Mulan.
No way, although Mulan is a female general, she is known as an invincible opponent below the monarch in the light camp, and this female man is very loyal to the saint, if she really receives the holy woman's order, then even if Bernard personally stops it, he will not be able to play any role except being beaten and losing face.
"Hey?!" Bernard had an idea, and then said to his heralds, "Go to the camp and invite His Highness Sylvie here!"
"Yes!" the soldier commanded.
At this time, the Templar Assassin Sylvie was ordered to inspect the deployment of the front line, so he happened to be in the Divine Light Fortress, and Bernard couldn't beat Mulan, so he remembered her, this is a disciple of the Moon God, a proper monarch, with her pressing the formation, it is estimated that Mulan will have to sell face somewhat.
Soon, Sylvie came to Bernard: "You are in such a hurry to find me, is there something wrong with the cloth release?"
Don't look at this chick who is obsessed with Jiang Fei and has been poisoned by nymphomaniac, but in Jiang Fei's absence, she is still relatively normal and very loyal to the bright camp, so when she heard that Bernard was in a hurry, her first thought was that there was a problem with the layout.
"Your Highness Sylvie, something really went wrong, Her Highness the Captain of the Guard actually went to organize the civilians to withdraw from the battlefield, which has increased the pressure on our defense a lot!" Bernard said.
"How can this be?!Hua Mulan must be carrying out the Holy Maiden's orders again, hey! The Holy Maiden's heart is too soft!" "In a normal state, Sylvie is a cold-blooded assassin, she can assassinate the fourth prince of the demon clan with her own risk, and will she care about the life and death of some civilians?"
Therefore, Sylvie's concept of war, like Bernard, is to give priority to victory in the war, and civilian casualties are not taken into account.
"Your Highness Sylvie, look ......" Although Bernard didn't say it explicitly, his purpose in asking Sylvie to come over was to help her, after all, if Sylvie was not a staunch victorious faction in the war, the Holy See of Light would not be able to send her to inspect the defense!
"I'll go with you!" Sylvie didn't say a word, and immediately decided to work with Bernard to recover the civilians.
"Let's go now!" Bernard rushed out of the fortress with a squad of cavalry, while Sylvie flew straight over.
