Chapter 573 (1/2)
Although there are a large number of people in the army of frost rose, due to the reasons of supply, preparation and road, not all of them are on the front line. Instead, they advance in batches and directions.
Among them, the main forward force is naturally on the side of new Verga. Under the command of Jenkins, an experienced veteran, the 200000 army and the magic statue army go through the jungle of Huangnan county and advance to Hopland.
Another team of 50000 people accompanied the ship to the north and went up the heisong river again. The fighting force of this unit is mostly infantry adapting to mountain fighting, and the magic statue is also a small and flexible type.
The last one is a sea fleet with newly built armored ships and a few airships. Among them, there are more than 30000 navies, more than 60 armored ships and more than 20 airships. It contains a number of high-level mages (sequence 5-6), who gather elites to intercept potential reinforcements in the southern islands.
Compared with the frail new Vega, frost rose is more worried about the little moon parliament in the South Islands. The source of the two mages comes from the same vein. They know each other's strength very well, and naturally they dare not underestimate each other.
Huangnan County, former army camp.
The area close to the jungle was cleared out of a black and gray barrier, and the soldiers cut down trees to make a simple wooden fence to encircle the camp. As night fell, hundreds of campfires, big and small, rose in the camp. The soldiers ate around the campfire and sat down to rest to relieve the fatigue of the day.
Now it is early autumn, the weather is not so hot, most of the soldiers are also wearing black and blue uniforms, covered with a layer of steel.
After a long journey, because of fatigue and fatigue, many people untie their armor and put it aside to enjoy the rare relaxation in the evening breeze.
As the night went on, snoring began to come from the tents, and the camp became quiet.
In the large tent in the center, Jenkins was still looking at the map under the light, which marked the terrain around Hopland, with some pieces beside it.
The dim yellow candle light pulls the shadows of cups, pens, paper rolls and other sundries on the low table, and occasionally flickers with the light.
The curtain of the tent suddenly opened, and the cold air poured in. A female knight took off her helmet and came in.
Jenkins looked up, then continued to focus on the map in front of him, occasionally calculating and drawing with a pen on the paper.
”Haven't you gone to bed, ADA? You're on your way tomorrow. Now it's not more important than at home. In wartime, military law is more important. I can't be partial to you. ”
”Well, I'll go to bed later. I'll come to see you.”
”What's good to see? Are you afraid that something will happen to me? There are not only bodyguards around, but also the guard border set by the group of mages. If other people get close, they will know. ”
The 20-year-old Knight shook her head and said nothing more. Instead, she found a cushion and sat down at the low table.
”For the first time, it's still a little fresh and a little uneasy.” She looked at the map and said.
”What are you worried about, my daughter? You are not such a sentimental person.” Jenkins put down his pen. He was tired and stopped thinking.
”I don't know if I can deal with the enemy. Those people on the other side, in fact, were raised by their parents just like me. We have no deep hatred for each other. ” ADA's head was on her father's knee.
”Oh, it's a good thing that you have such a kind heart. It's probably inherited your mother's character.” Jenkins touched his daughter's Crimson hair.
”But it's not good to get too tangled.”
”Don't put yourself too high. We can't conform to everyone's wishes and make everyone satisfied. That's impossible.”
”Therefore, for our own interests, sometimes we have to destroy the interests or lives of others.”
”Like a wolf eating a sheep, there is no good or evil, just a part of life.”
”Compassion can be shown in one's own person. That would be a virtue. But it would be foolish to be kind to the enemy. ” Jenkins told her daughter in detail.
”I understand these principles, but I still can't do it completely...”
