Chapter 527 "The Last Battle"
The North.
Every morning, there would be a thin layer of fog covering the endless wasteland, and it would not dissipate until the sun rose higher.
Gwen stretched and climbed out of her bed.
She put on her clothes with some difficulty, then pinched her stomach in distress. Her waist, which had never had any fat in the past, gradually became softer.
This month, she actually gained some weight.
After a quick wash, Gwen walked out of the room and met Hodge who was registering in a booklet.
"Good morning, Hotch, how's the shipping going?"
"Most of them have been delivered, but as you know, the rest refused to leave. They insisted on finding Bazel and fighting this final battle."
"The last battle." Gwen smiled unconsciously. She had never thought that the war in the North would end one day.
In the past month, she followed Caster's expeditionary force to fight east and west, and the three grand dukes of the four former northern territories were not able to make a splash in front of Caster.
Needless to say, Grand Duke Longya and all his troops died on the battlefield. The bombing by the airship didn't even leave any flesh, let alone a corpse. No one even knew in which bomb crater he died.
What can be confirmed is that he was indeed dead - all the Dragon Fang soldiers fought to the death under the control of supernatural powers, and no one escaped.
Morale will never collapse. If it were on any other battlefield, this would be an extremely exaggerated advantage that could almost change the situation of the war. For Castel, it also changed the situation of the war. The expeditionary force wiped out the entire Dragon Tooth Army without even having to chase and kill.
You know, if Longya's army was not controlled, it would be basically impossible for Castel to wipe out the entire army. Just chasing and dealing with the battlefield would be a big trouble, and it would probably waste a lot of time.
As for Grand Duke Alvarez in the east, he is very powerful.
The expeditionary force is now located in the territory of this grand duke. Therefore, he is the first to learn about the battle between the expeditionary force and the coalition forces.
As the expeditionary force marched eastward and prepared to directly attack the castle where he was, Archduke Alvarez chose to surrender at an extremely fast speed. The expeditionary force tried its best but failed to capture the castle before he surrendered.
Before they even arrived at the destination, they encountered the envoys of Archduke Alvarez. The Archduke, perhaps out of fear or too decisive, sent wave after wave of envoys to surrender, fearing that if they surrendered too late, they would be beaten into a pulp like the Allied Forces.
It turned out that this strategy was extremely effective. Even Alexei was stunned by the speed of surrender.
As for the expeditionary force? The expeditionary force almost broke their teeth. They had not fought many serious battles since they came to the North!
"By the way, what happened to Octavia?" Hodge closed the book and asked curiously, "You know, I've been either receiving prisoners or transporting resistance soldiers these days. I haven't had the chance to go to the battlefield at all."
At this point he sighed and looked at Gwen with envy: "Kyle is really lucky. He fought the coalition forces. I heard Octavia also fought some tough battles."
"Uh, a tough battle?"
Gwen looked a little odd and scratched her head.
"Well, it was a tough battle compared to the battle with Grand Duke Alvarez. At least we attacked the castle head-on a few times. To be honest, those castles are quite strong. We used up all our bombs during the first airship bombing."
"You ran out of bombs? Then how did you fight?"
"We've brought in more bombs. We'll continue bombing. Theoretically, we should be able to blow a hole through the gap by the next day."
"theory?"
"Yes, we didn't have a chance to try. The lord hiding in the castle saw the airship coming again the next day, so he opened the door and surrendered."
“.”
Hotch had a speechless expression on his face.
"Well, I heard Octavia wasn't found in the end?"
"Yes, the Grand Duchess has escaped."
Perhaps it was because Grand Duke Alvaro voted too quickly and too thoroughly that Octavia also found a way to fight the expeditionary force.
"She sent a few of her men to defend the city and fight to the death, but she herself fled with a few of her trusted followers."
"And your men surrendered as well?"
Gwen shook her head.
"I think these men are very loyal, Mr. Hodge. You may be familiar with the expeditionary force, but I am more familiar with the North. To be able to hold out for a whole day under such a bombardment, he can already be called brave and determined."
But such courage and determination are useless, Gwen said in her heart.
She and the resistance fighters held out for half a year with courage and determination, waiting until Castel built the railway.
The lord's bravery and determination lasted for a whole day, but did not change the situation of the war in the slightest.
The battlefield is no longer the same as it used to be. Will is important, but it cannot stop gunpowder and bombs.
It takes a will of steel to face Castel, but Castel only needs steel.
Such a war. Gwen shook her head. She was a farm girl and didn't understand too many big principles, but with her shallow knowledge, she knew that the world would never be the same as before.
Castel does not need to change the world, as long as it exists, the whole continent will tremble.
Castel was like a shadowy monster in the sea, with only half of his silhouette vaguely visible, a figure that no one could ignore.
Anyone who looks at it will go mad, and anyone who doesn't will die.
Gwen looked at Hodge, he had a bewildered look on his face. The expeditionary captain did not understand the enemy's bravery and persistence at all. He just felt that it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, it was nothing more than a matter of a few more bombs, he could not tell much difference.
This is an arrogance that even the Castilians themselves are not aware of.
People mustered up the courage to charge towards the giant beast Castel, but they could not hurt it at all. It did not even notice the courage and sacrifice of the insects under its feet.
Castel didn't care.
When Gwen thought of this, she felt an indescribable fear in her heart. Castel was too powerful, so powerful that its existence itself was beyond people's cognition.
"I must go to Castel, of course, after this last battle."
"You really should go and see it, it's a magical place." Hodge grinned and said, "I don't know how to describe it to you. That island will subvert all your cognition and exceed your wildest imagination. I only have one piece of advice, be careful and don't be scared crazy."
"Ha, that's not necessarily true. I might just go around slashing people with my sword." Gwen shrugged. "Let's not talk about that. Let's find Bazel first. I heard there seem to be some clues recently."
