Chapter 235: Tools Are Everywhere! (Please subscribe!)
Sam Layton stood on the city wall, looking through a telescope at the explosion on the other side of the river.
This was the first appearance of the Idar Magic Cannon and also the first war in which the Idar artillery unit participated.
Even though he was well aware of the power of the magic cannon and was still afraid of it, Sam Layton still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
And now...
When he saw the devastation on the other side of the river and the Odin soldiers who were defeated by the bombardment of the magic cannon, Sam Layton finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Sam Layton was only 60% sure of defending Idar before, then now he was almost 90% sure! Unless Odin's soldiers launched a fearless attack with their absolute superiority, it would be impossible to force a crossing of the Sauron River with these Odin soldiers in front of them.
Moreover...according to the current progress of the project in Idar Territory, before the spring comes, the magic power from the depths of the Almis Mountains will be transmitted to Idar City and the vicinity of Gran Highlands, thus officially setting off a wave of mass production of magic weapons! "It's stable..."
Sam Layton punched the city wall in front of him, extremely excited.
Looking at the smoke rising gradually on the other side of the river, the morale of Idar soldiers was high.
Although the artillery troops of Idar had long been impressed by the tremendous power of the explosion of magic artillery shells, it was the first time for the ordinary soldiers of the First Army to witness the terrifying power of this long-range weapon with their own eyes.
Hearing the huge roars coming from not far away, looking at the flames rising into the sky and the dazzling light that flashed from time to time, they were stunned at first, and then they cheered involuntarily.
They had originally climbed the city wall with the will to die, vowing to live and die with Lord Idar and to make Odin's soldiers fall to the ground. But now...
They didn't even get a clear look at the Odinians' faces before the opposing Odin army was already in disarray, with wails shaking the sky.
So much so that many recruits actually felt a little disappointed...
They also wanted to fight in the battlefield, make achievements for Lord Idar, and receive praise and rewards from Lord Bruno Stuart, Count of Idar.
"The soldiers of Idar..."
Sam Layton just raised the sword at his waist, wanting to call on the soldiers of Idar to rush out of the fortress and give the Odin people the most painful blow while they were in disgrace, but...
But suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, interrupting Sam Layton's next words.
"Your Excellency?"
Sam Layton turned around and looked in surprise at Bruno, who had appeared behind him at some point.
"Don't rush to send out cavalry. Continue to use artillery to bombard the ground and force all these Odin soldiers back to Sorenburg. I have other plans." Bruno ordered.
"yes!"
Sam Layton's face turned pale and he quickly replied.
Although he was somewhat doubtful about the Earl's actions, Sam Layton answered immediately because obeying orders was a soldier's duty.
"But... My Lord Earl, this is the front line after all, it is too dangerous..." Sam Layton hesitated to speak.
"I am the supreme ruler of Idar Territory, so I naturally have to stand with my soldiers. Moreover... with so many Idar people standing by my side, how could I be put in danger?"
Bruno looked around, and those sincere faces made him feel particularly at ease.
"Long live the Earl!"
"Long live Lord Idar!"
It wasn't just a question of who started it. When the soldiers in the Namur Fortress saw Lord Bruno coming to the front line in person, they all shouted loudly.
It has always been an extremely rare occurrence for nobles to personally visit the front lines to boost morale.
so……
Bruno's personal arrival greatly stimulated the Idar soldiers' desire for war and strengthened their confidence in defending the Idar territory.
"Prepare for the second round of shooting!" Sam Layton gave up his original idea of sending cavalry to attack and issued new orders.
Looking at those high-spirited soldiers, Bruno felt a strong sense of pride in his heart.
This is an elite army created by him!
Bruno felt particularly satisfied as he watched the civilian soldiers of Idar grow step by step into the backbone of the defense of Idar. Perhaps... this is the joy of farming!
As for stopping Sam Layton from sending his troops to charge, Bruno actually had other considerations...
After all, all Sam Layton needs to do is to defeat the enemy, but Bruno, as the supreme ruler of Idar Territory, needs to coordinate and balance everything, control the overall situation, and take care of all aspects of Idar Territory.
Although the Odin soldiers in front of them had been frightened by the magic cannon led by Idar, it was undeniable that the Odin people on the other side of the river were still the most ferocious infantry in the world.
Even though the soldiers of Idar became more martial and had greatly improved combat capabilities under the influence of the quality concept, if they did not have new melee weapons, their individual combat power would only be on par with Odin's soldiers.
Sam Layton had a good idea. The Idar people could take this opportunity to send cavalry across the river to fight, forcing the Odin people to flee north in panic.
But, if this is the case...
The news about Idar would undoubtedly be spread quickly! With the CIA agents that Idar had deployed in the north, they were unable to stop the hundreds of Odin cavalrymen!
So... out of caution, Bruno decided to adopt another strategy at the suggestion of CIA Director Krell.
During this period, the Idar CIA made countless deductions about the command style and personal character of Odin General Raymond O'Sullivan, so...
If his predictions were correct, after suffering such a disastrous defeat, Raymond would most likely retreat to Sorenburg and wait for another opportunity, rather than retreating directly to the north.
As long as it is not a large-scale Odin cavalry, it is easy for those strictly trained agents to stop a few galloping messengers or shoot a few crows with the assistance of air force scouts.
Therefore, according to Bruno's idea, it would be better to give them a way out for the time being and let these Odin people retreat back to Sorenborg.
Then……
Bruno could have his soldiers surround Sorenburg layer by layer, and seize the opportunity to capture them all in one fell swoop! Of course, preventing the news from leaking was only one of Bruno's purposes.
For Bruno, these Odin soldiers who came to Idar to kill were excellent tools.
Aren't the soldiers of Idar lacking in actual combat experience? Then let Idar's army, air force and even navy take turns to serve the Odin soldiers who will retreat to Sorenburg, so as to improve the actual combat experience of Idar people as much as possible before the large force of Odin people attacks.
After all...compared to the vanguard troops led by Odin's general Raymond O'Sullivan, the Odin army that followed after encountering obstacles in taking over the territory is what Bruno is really worried about!
No more for today. I need to sort out the outline and plot of the rest of the film.
