Reckless Through The New World

Twilight.

The atmosphere in the "Four Gold Coins" fortress was jubilant, as if it were a festival.

When Miss Druid Sean, who returned as Asuka, appeared, she was greeted by everyone. Duke Norma personally received her, praised her greatly, and immediately expressed that he would hold an award ceremony for her, and there would be a great reward at that time.

Sean was noncommittal about this, didn't show the slightest joy, just said lightly: "When I escaped, I also saw others alive, maybe Your Excellency Duke should wait a few more days, maybe one or two survivors. ."

The Duke was very dissatisfied with her attitude, but because the occasion was not good, he complained a few words to his staff afterwards. What "barbarians are barbarians", what "doesn't understand a little bit of etiquette", what "Druids are really uneducated"... It's almost like that.

But what she said, the Duke could not help but make a statement, so he waited for several days.

A few days later, one of the Expendables returned.

However, the next time I can't wait for anyone else.

In the end, only two people survived the death squad led by the volunteers. One is a thick-skinned lizardman warrior, and the other is a Druid who can transform into a bird and fly out of the battlefield.

Compared to the Druid Sean who turned into a bird and escaped easily, the lizardman warrior Yunero's escape method was relatively "ugly". After cooperating with Sean to destroy the catapult, he could not fly and chose to jump directly off the cliff, entrusting his life and death to an unknown destiny.

Fortunately, he won the bet. Although he was seriously injured and returned to the Four Gold Coin Fortress by crawling a few days later, at least he came back alive. He did not die in the Second Gold Coin Fortress like those unfortunate comrades in arms, or even died without a whole body.

The Duke of Norma rewarded them heavily, gave them a lot of money, held a special commendation meeting for them, and gave them medals.

Money, 10,000 gold coins per person; medals, can treat non-fatal, non-crippling serious injuries once a day.

These two rewards are very affordable, and it can be seen that the Duke has really thought about and prepared seriously, and has not been perfunctory.

At the commendation ceremony, the lizard man Yuneruo appeared elated, cheering and laughing frequently. But Druid Sean is still in that desolate look, and there is no obvious joy in it, which makes people wonder if she has a personality problem and has no happy feelings?

It's okay to be unhappy when you win a battle, but you're not happy when you get rich? Is this sick...

Afterwards, the travelers asked curiously in the chat channel, and Sean replied: "In our country, if a group of soldiers go to perform a high-risk mission, and ultimately sacrifice most of the people and win. So congratulations. Whether it is a banquet or an award ceremony, we will never forget those heroic souls who sacrificed for the Republic, not only must we mourn and admire them, but also all honors and awards will never lose their share. But the Duke I never thought about them at all, not even mentioning them a word! This kind of stuff is really disgusting, even if people get close to him, they feel that even the air is polluted, which is even worse than the smog. Happy!"

His statement was approved by everyone. Originally, the transmigrators did not expect this, but after being pointed out by Sean, everyone also criticized the Duke for being unkind and unruly.

Especially when Yunero found out about the pension standards for those who died in battle, it made everyone feel cold.

The death squads who died in battle were given pensions according to the ordinary death standard.

"This duke is indeed not a person who can do great things!" Eric (without sleep) commented, "A person like this has become the supreme commander of the Norma defense line... I think this defense line is about to end."

No need for him to predict, everyone has already seen it, the Norma line of defense... is really going to end.

Even if the death squad destroyed the original catapult, the duke was not able to seize the opportunity to save the defeat. He did not hesitate to launch a counterattack to regain the fallen fortress. Instead, he was hurrying to transfer assets, as if he had already prepared for the fall of the Norma line of defense. preparation.

You are not blind, and if you want people to not know, you have to do it yourself. When the duke did such a thing, no one could see that the Norma line of defense could no longer be held. Many people moved their minds one after another, thinking about the way back for themselves.

Almost a month later, the Thracians built giant catapults for the second time. This time they were not hindered any more, successfully completed the catapult, and bombarded the two fortresses of four gold coins and metal coins with huge stones.

After being bombarded for two or three days, the morale of the defenders in the two fortresses was almost on the verge of collapse. Finally, on the fourth night, the Duke had to let the troops of the two fortresses evacuate and hand over the two fortresses.

At this point, everyone knows what to do.

The aristocratic troops that will withdraw next are one after another. If it weren't for the reinforcements sent by the top officials of the Federation, they would not even be able to make up the troops needed to defend the defense line. Even so, Duke Norma had to shrink the front line, abandon the gold coin defense line that he had been holding for a long time, and retreat to the silver coin defense line.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with panda, or rather, "Mr. Bear" played by panda.

Because this poor and brave orc powerhouse had already died in that attack as a death squad.

Not even he left a body.

Many poor and strong people end up like this. They are like shooting stars across the sky, leaving only flashes of light, but they have not been able to enjoy the joy of victory and the fruits of victory.

All the glory and gains have nothing to do with him and the death squads who died in battle.

The battle on the night of October 28, 778 in the continental calendar, did not leave a deep impression on history.

But the war that followed had a great impact on the entire history of wars in the Western Continent.

During the war, large siege weapons were used for the first time. In the face of the huge catapult, the Norma line of defense that the Molai Commercial Federation has been proud of for a long time has not been able to play a good role. In addition to the death squad's raid being a bright spot, Mo Lairen's performance was generally very poor.

Inside the castle's library, Harmony put down her pen and sighed softly.

The most recent chapter of "The History of the Western Continent War" is finished here.

"Look, is there anything that needs to be revised." He handed the manuscript to the panda.

Panda took over the manuscript, read it carefully, and said with satisfaction, "I think it's good, there's nothing to revise."

Harmony nodded, took back the manuscript, cast a spell, turned it into a heavy book, and sent it to the "Historical Materials" column on the bookshelf.

"Next, are you planning to go to the Norma line?" he asked.

"Of course." Panda smiled, "But this time, I'm going to change my identity again."
