Battle of Fontas (1)

It was already very late when Inger returned to the vicinity of the commander's camp. He asked the other wizards to go back and rest. After all, the rest time was always limited, so they had to sleep as much as possible.

He felt a little dizzy, but when he saw the light on in the tent, he subconsciously opened the curtain and went in.

The two guards were already familiar with him and did not stop him.

As soon as he entered, Inger saw Alex and the others.

He was surrounded by almost all the highest-ranking officers on the front line.

Inger took a quick look and saw the four people, including Earl Stella and his son, Earl Cente and his son, Uncle Mingna who was sent to support them, Lord Gazi, and Wizard Maisilica...

Inger frowned and looked at Alex and asked, "What happened? You didn't send anyone to inform me?"

Alex saw the tiredness on her face and pinched his brows: "Why are you here? Go back to sleep."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Cheryl jumped out and said, "We don't have time for you to quarrel!"

Inger looked at an unfamiliar knight, and Uri introduced him, "This is the knight sent by the Delie family to help, Sir Knight Antonia."

He has no surname, so he must be of commoner origin.

Inger knew that Earl Drei's territory had annexed Harenga, and under Ola's instruction, he took over all territorial affairs and was in charge of the southern border.

The Delie Territory was originally a territory adjacent to the south. After this merger, the territory became even larger.

But the situation in Harenga has been very bad since it was harmed by that father and son. I don’t know how the young Earl Delie, who has just come to power, oh no, now he is the Duke, could be so cruel as to take over this mess.

But this decision was the result of careful selection by Alex and Ola, and I believe that the other party must be capable.

In fact, the other side can also send a seventh-level knight over.

Knight Antonio was the deputy leader of the Knights' Order directly under the Delie Family. He had a calm temperament and was very ordinary in every aspect, the kind that did not leave an impression on others, but he was still a seventh-level knight. He greeted Inger politely, and Inger also responded appropriately.

Inger put down his robe and asked, "Are you ready to fight back?"

Alex glanced at him, then pointed to the map and said, "There are several food storage points that have been speculated so far, and each point is guarded by a wizard knight."

Fleming said, "But not all food can be moved around at will, right?"

Alex nodded: "At least the other side can't do it."

Inger looked at the floor plan, recalled it, and quickly waved his hand in the air. A three-dimensional holographic topographic map outlined by magic light spots floated in the air, including the height of the terrain and vegetation coverage.

Combined with the detailed contour maps and topographic maps previously produced by geologists, and the observations made during these days that he memorized in his mind, he was able to accurately recreate a model of the area.

Antonio was sent over for support just a few days ago. He was shocked when he saw things he had never seen before, but seeing that other people were used to it, he did not dare to pay any attention or ask questions.

Inger marked a few points with a red cursor under Alex's instruction and asked, "Are you sure?"

Alex shook his head. “I’m not sure of the details.”

Inger thought for a moment.

Although he didn't hear what happened before, he knew that attacking the granary was the right direction.

Because there is a teleportation platform in Qune, food supply is fast and convenient, and the real food storage point is in a farther and safer place. Liweier does not have this advantage. They also have a lot of troops, and there is a mountain between them and the home country. They can only set up food storage points nearby. Cutting off the food warehouse is equivalent to cutting off their lifeline, which can end the battle faster.

The battle has been at a stalemate for three months. Although the past two years have been bumper years for Qiu Nie, and the composition of stored food has been improved, there is no need to worry about supplies for the next three years. However, war is pure consumption and cannot be dragged on for a long time.

At this time, Count Cente spoke up: "Why bother with so much? Can't you just take the granaries one by one?"

Bibidai behind him rolled his eyes in disbelief.

Lord Brenden Stella smiled and said, "If you move one thing, they will be alerted and will definitely move the granary. It will be very difficult to find it again."

Yunia Gazi, the lord of Gazi Territory and Alex's adoptive mother, said, "Dry stored food is flammable and in large quantities, so it is best suited to fire."

By the way, this person had only recently come to support. The previous few times she came were during the war, and Inger was also busy everywhere, so he didn't take a close look at her appearance.

He looked to be in his forties, about the same height as Alex, tall and big, with a strong frame, and there was a knife wound on the bridge of his nose that stretched all the way to the earlobe.

His grayish-white hair was tied up in a messy bun, his lips were thick, his eyes were narrow, his wrinkles were few, his neck was thick, and he looked unapproachable. His palms were thick and rough. His body was covered with the accumulation of war. He was full of bones.

All in all, he looks domineering and fierce, not like a knight.

It looks exactly like in the comics, but it's even more impressive when you see it up close.

Alex learned swordsmanship from her. But since they went to the battlefield, they had no time to talk privately, and they only talked as officers.

Alex nodded to his foster mother's words and said, "Fire attack is indeed the most suitable. But the opponent has an ice user."

Fleming had fought Veronica the most. He said, "She is very difficult to deal with, but as long as she is transferred away..."

Wu Rui asked, "Is it possible that she is very close to the largest granary?"

Cheryl said: "But she is basically fighting on the front line."

Mainly to seal the insulated gun.

Inger turned the aerial model map and found the closest possible point to the front line.

It's also close to water.

Inger thought for a while and said, "The most important thing is to first determine whether these places are real food storage points."

Kumpeu, who was standing behind Alex, said after careful consideration: "Sir, can I tell you what I think?"

Alex nodded.

Kunpeu pointed to a small hill on the holographic model and said, "Even if there are guards in this place, there shouldn't be many. If there are wizards below, the hill is beyond the detection range. The distance is a little far, but if there is an improved telescope, we should be able to see the situation in the canyon clearly."

Cheryl stared at it for a while and said, "There should be a sniper here."

Kunpeu shook his head: "From the current situation, it seems that Liwei's snipers are basically non-existent. They mainly rely on long-range attacks from wizards, and their insulated guns have probably not been produced yet."

Once the insulated gun is applied to the battlefield, Li Wei'er will use it sooner or later, but not now. It takes time to explore for minerals and research production technology.

Cheryl suddenly realized that she subconsciously thought that other countries also had sniper teams trained by Chunie.

Kunpei continued, "The sniping range of existing ordinary firearms cannot reach this far. The other side of this mountain is over here, so we just need to send someone over here to observe the situation."

Inger rubbed his thumb back and forth across his knuckles. "It's possible, but very dangerous."

It is very dangerous for those who go to investigate.

Furthermore, if the other party places wizards on this mountain for detection, or if knights patrol it, the possibility of being caught is very high.

Kun Peiwu smiled slightly and put his fist on his chest, "I am willing to go."

Alex looked at him, and he knew that if Quinpeu made this suggestion, he would definitely go there on his own initiative.

But secretly he was unwilling to let this future general take risks.

Inger knew what Alex was thinking just by looking at his eyes, and he actually agreed with this point.

At this time, Alsophila, who also looked tired, came in from outside and brought tea to the officers.

Kunpeiwu pointed at her, "The other person is her."

In everyone's sight, Alsophila rubripes raised its head and looked at Kunpeiwu in surprise.

Alex and Inger were sweeping her up and down.

They realized that perhaps Alsophila rubrum was indeed the most suitable candidate.

She has absolutely no magical fluctuations and is very good at hiding and escaping.

Kunpewu explained, "For the purpose of investigation, the number of people cannot be too large. If there is only one person, it is easy to fail. Two people are the safest. I recommended myself and Red Alsophila to carry out the mission because her abilities are very suitable for mine. In addition, she and I have voluntarily signed a magic contract, so we will not leak the news even if we are caught."

Inger looked at Alex in surprise, but saw that he also looked confused.

Kumpewu smiled and didn't explain much, but continued to explain his thoughts: "Although my level is not high, it is still difficult to deal with wizards, so we will all bring insulated weapons: guns, as long as they are equipped with silencers."

It can block magic power, and can also kill approaching knights at a critical moment.

Inger now leaned towards Kumpeu. Alex still had a frown on his face.

Inger looked at the red tree also.

She already had a cold expression on her face. She put the tea on the table and said, "I don't have a choice. You decide and tell me what to do in the end."

The other officers looked at each other and seemed to agree with the proposal, only Alex was hesitant.

Finally they talked about some more things, and Alex dismissed everyone, leaving only Kumpeu and Inger.

Of course, Inger was the one who refused to leave.

Alex asked Quinpeu in a serious tone, "I have never made any magic contract with you."

Kun Peiwu said respectfully but no longer humbly: "As long as we sign the contract now, it will be foolproof. Your Highness will believe me anyway, there is no difference, right?"

Alex pursed his lips and said decisively: "No need, I know you will die for me, but I want you to live and stay by my side."

Kunpei looked at him with some sadness in his eyes: "But Your Highness, when has there ever been a time when you didn't risk your life on the battlefield? Compared to that, what is what I have done?"

I don't know when he grew up from that timid little boy into a teenager who learned to talk back.

Inger wanted to applaud him at this moment, and he said out what he had been holding back in his heart.

Although Khun Pewu was younger than them, he spoke in a very mature and calm tone: "I know my limits and I will not overestimate myself. I will complete the mission and come back. I will not disappoint your highness's expectations."

If I can't come back, it won't cause any trouble to His Highness. This was something he seemed to be hiding in his words.

Inger felt happy for a while as he saw Alex seemed to be angry.

However, Kunpeu pointed at him the next second: "Major, the same thing. After the investigation comes back, the major's role is the most critical. If you fall down again before that, what should we do?"

Inger: “…”

This child is becoming less and less lovable.

Alex narrowed his eyes dangerously at him as well.

Inger raised his hands in surrender and was about to say he wanted to go back and rest when a quick shout interrupted him.

"Report! News from the capital from the North! Saranqin is invading!"

Alex immediately took out the mirror in the communication center, and Ola appeared on it.

"I'll take people to the north." Ola said with a frown.

Alex was silent for a moment and said, "Two level 8 wizards."

Ola seemed to still be in the conference room. There was a noisy debate around her. She didn't hesitate to ask, "How are you doing?"

Alex spoke frankly: "Not very good. There are too many high-level knights here. It's difficult to deal with them. The battle line has also become longer, but we have an advantage in supplies."

Inger said to Alex, "You must go."

Alex bit his lower lip.

Although it is difficult to deal with Li Weier, the soldiers led by Elena have strict military discipline. They will not touch any surrendered enemy prisoners of war, let alone civilians. Both Qune and Li Weier observe wartime etiquette.

It's different on Saranqin's side. Lucia is a cruel and ruthless wizard, and she knows how to use blood sacrifice. The corpses in the mountains behind the Chune Palace were buried not long ago, and it is impossible to create another ninth-level Brantasa.

Alex quickly made up his mind to set off, and he looked at Inger for the last time.

Unlike the knights who could go without food or sleep for a few days without any threat to their lives, the wizards' bodies were untrained, and Inger's physique was considered the worst among them.

Alex also saw that he was holding on these days.

Since the first battle in the southwest, Alex and Inger have become famous in one battle.

Alex is the nominal commander, but the two of them are now recognized as the central command towers on this battlefield. One of them can only rest when the other takes command.

Alex has a better physique and can usually hold on a little longer, but Inger is also a wizard, a staff officer and a military doctor, so he can never have much time to rest.

Alex's going to the north for support means that the responsibility of commander will fall entirely on Inger's head.

Inger said nothing else. A comforting smile appeared on his tired face: "We are here, go ahead."

Anger mixed with pain turned into tiny cracks and spread across my heart.

Alex turned his head away embarrassedly, opened the curtain, and walked towards the teleportation platform.
