Chapter 237 Bombing! Chaotic Odins! (3400+, please subscribe!)
Bruno personally stabbed the sharp saber into the body of an Odin soldier who was begging desperately.
Now that he has come to this era, he must gradually adapt to it.
At least... Bruno must dare to look death in the face, dare to face this world.
The knife fell, and the splattering blood dyed Bruno's noble robe red. A strange emotion began to rise in Bruno's heart.
He... killed someone...
It has been nearly a year since Bruno came into this world, and this is the first time he has killed someone with his own hands.
He just felt a little dazed, and then pretended to be calm.
In this era where human life is worthless, Bruno can make the Idar County prosper through the lowest civilians and serfs, but... everything has a limit.
Tokugawa Ieyasu once said: "To keep the peasants half dead is the secret of politics."
If we look at it from the perspective of outstanding young people in the new era, this sentence is undoubtedly extremely reactionary; but if we look at it from the perspective of the feudal landlord class, this sentence contains certain truth.
Bruno at this time was like a collection of contradictions. By inspiring the power of the grassroots civilians, he turned the Idar Territory into the most shining pearl in the eastern part of the entire empire.
But at the same time, he had to be cautious at all times because Bruno himself was also a member of the aristocratic ruling class.
Bruno is just an ordinary man, so... in his spare time, he is always observing this world that is gradually changing because of him, and attaches great importance to the ideological guidance of the Idar people.
Supporting the Stuart family's rule over the Idar people and firmly following the footsteps of Count Bruno Stuart of Idar, these ideas that were gradually instilled into the Idar people seemed to have little effect, but they were what Bruno valued most.
Bruno must keep the people's thoughts and the military power of Idar in his own hands.
"Count... Count..." Seeing Bruno killing people himself, Mondale was stunned for a moment, then stammered: "Your clothes..."
Bruno waved his hand and said, "No problem!"
Bruno then turned around and stressed to the soldiers beside him: "Leave no one alive!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing Bruno's order, the Idar soldiers responded loudly.
"My Lord Earl..."
At this time, Krell, the director of the Idar Central Intelligence Agency, came over and said in a deep voice: "The Air Force scouts sent news that the Odin people have indeed withdrawn to Sorenburg."
Since the air force is still a brand new military branch in this world, Bruno currently has no ready-made air force generals available.
Therefore, Krell, the head of the CIA, temporarily took on the position of Air Force commander.
"Then let the air force soldiers prepare for action..." Bruno said with a smile.
"clear!"
Sorenburg, located by the sea, is a great place.
It is surrounded by plains on three sides and faces the sea on the other side.
The army of Idar can use this to conduct actual combat exercises and tactical coordination, and the navy of Idar can practice artillery bombardment and beach landings.
As for the Idar Territory's air force, it can try to conduct bombing training and aerial reconnaissance under different climatic conditions.
In addition, all-round tactical coordination between sea, land and air is also one of the contents that Idar soldiers need to practice.
For Idar's army, Odin's army led by Raymond O'Sullivan was undoubtedly an excellent combat target.
Although such actual combat training would certainly cause casualties among the Idar people, the casualties of a small number of soldiers would allow the Idar people to discover the problems in their training and to burst out with even stronger combat power in future wars! Bruno could still weigh the importance of the two.
In peacetime, the life of every Idar person is extremely precious, but when war breaks out, the number of soldiers can only be a constantly changing number.
As the supreme ruler of Idar County, this is something Bruno had realized long ago.
Although it was a great victory, cleaning up the battlefield did not allow the Idar people to gain much.
Because... the Odins are really poor.
In order to increase the marching speed of Odin's army, most of the property previously looted from various noble territories was sealed in the vaults of each lord's castle, and special people were left to guard it.
The Nordic horse under Odin can be said to be the only thing that can attract other people's attention.
But... the bombardment caused the Northern horses to either be injured or to flee in panic, so that the Idar people didn't catch many of them.
…
Although Bruno would have preferred to launch a night attack in the middle of the night, the Idar people's vision conditions made it difficult for Bruno to support his idea.
Soldiers of this era more or less have some symptoms of night blindness, so... Bruno began to adjust the food menu of the Idar Air Force on the one hand, and at the same time adjusted the original action plan.
The Air Force's bombing operation on Sorenburg will begin early tomorrow morning when the sky just gets light.
However, the army and navy began to close the siege of Sorenborg just as the Odin army led by Raymond O'Sullivan retreated into Sorenborg.
Now that the fish has taken the bait, the Idar people no longer have to worry about anything.
Idar's First Army and Idar's artillery units finally walked out of the Namur Fortress, deployed troops on three sides of Sollenberg, and surrounded the isolated and helpless Sollenberg.
In fact, it is quite difficult to blockade Sorenburg with only the more than a thousand soldiers led by Idar.
But since there are no shamans capable of performing magical attacks in this Odin army, the Air Force's reconnaissance balloons can always float over Sorenburg, so as to grasp the distribution of Odin's troops in a timely manner and make adjustments to the distribution of forces accordingly.
Agents of the Idar CIA and the Griffin Knights were tasked with intercepting Odin's intelligence transmissions.
On the one hand, they kept a close eye on the next move of Odin's army on the Valens Plain, and on the other hand, they paid close attention to all possible channels for transmitting information in Sorenburg.
Whether it is day or night, griffins have a strong sense of perception for messengers such as ravens, which enables the Idal Territory to cut off the ravens, which is the most prone to errors in information transmission, thus allowing the Idal Territory to remain hidden behind a veil of mystery.
There is no doubt that under the joint action of Idar's navy, army, air force and Idar's Central Intelligence Agency, Odin's army hiding in Sorenburg has almost been sentenced to death.
When Raymond O'Sullivan saw that Sorenburg was surrounded by Idar's army, he finally felt a sense of regret in his heart.
My misjudgment of Idar Territory has led to the current passive situation...
Therefore, Raymond plans to make up for his loss and mobilize soldiers early tomorrow morning to prepare for a breakout. After all...night blindness affects not only Idar soldiers, but the symptoms of the Odin people are far more serious than those of the Idar soldiers.
But what Raymond didn't know was...
If you wait until the next morning, it will be too late.
…
The next day, early morning.
When a faint light just appeared on the sea level in the distance, the hot air balloon belonging to the Idar Air Force had already taken off.
The airmen worked in groups of three.
One person is responsible for observing the enemy situation, one person is responsible for controlling the direction, and one person is responsible for dropping bombs.
The basket of the hot air balloon was almost filled with magic crystal bombs, which were enough for the Odin people to have a good time.
The Odin sentinels who had been standing on the city wall all night were standing at their posts with dazed eyes. It was not until they saw more than twenty hot air balloons with the Stuart family emblem painted on them floating over Sorenburg that they suddenly reacted.
They raised their heads seriously, took a look, and then immediately fell into a half-asleep and half-wakeful state of sleep.
The failed war yesterday really consumed too much of their energy, so much so that they felt particularly tired at this moment.
Although he was still frightened by those Idar people floating in the sky, he kept falling into deep sleepiness.
After all... since yesterday afternoon, Idar's reconnaissance balloons have been floating over Sorenburg, and the sentinels have almost gotten used to it.
At the beginning, I would find some sheltered place to hide, but after a long time, I started to not take it seriously anymore.
Anyway, those balloons won’t drop anything…
General Raymond, who had already woken up, was concerned about the hot air balloons floating over Sorenburg. Although he didn't know how and why the Idar people could fly in the sky, there was no doubt that the Idar people were determined to attack Odin's soldiers on the ground by shooting arrows from high above.
etc……
Looking at the increasing number of hot air balloons, Raymond seemed to suddenly realize something...
If the Idar people could drop skyfire from those balloons...
Thinking of this, Raymond's body shook violently.
On a hot air balloon.
Johanne Hudson, who was in charge of the operation, was using a telescope to observe the distribution of Odin's forces in Sorenburg.
Since it was still early, most of Odin's soldiers were still sleeping.
"Captain, the soldiers have arrived at the designated location."
A soldier beside him reported to him.
"Then let's drop the bomb..." A faint smile appeared on Johnny Hudson's face.
Hearing this, the soldier carefully released the safety device of the magic crystal bomb, and then slowly extended the magic crystal bomb out of the hanging basket...
"This is the New Year's gift from the Earl to you!" the soldier suddenly shouted.
immediately……
He let go of the magic crystal bomb that he was holding tightly in his hand...
Boom——
Just at the moment when the magic crystal bomb collided with the ground, a roar that Raymond still remembered vividly came from outside the window.
The explosion of the first magic crystal bomb was like a signal, and one magic crystal bomb after another was dropped by soldiers from the hot air balloon floating above Sorenburg.
Boom boom
Violent explosions continued to be heard from all over Sorenburg. In just a blink of an eye, the entire Sorenburg was shrouded in layers of smoke.
The violent explosion ignited the Odin people's food and grass, and the raging fire mercilessly devoured the last bit of Odin people's supplies...
"Idar..." Raymond O'Sullivan's eyes were wide open, staring at the Idar soldiers who were throwing "sky fire" wantonly in the sky.
He could even see an Idar man not far away, giving him the middle finger...
Countless Odins were killed or injured in their sleep, and the buildings in Sorenborg collapsed one after another...
What happened? Although anger and hatred gradually rose in his heart, Raymond looked confused at this time.
The Odin cavalry had not even seen the enemy's face, and they had already been decimated. Without the help of the shaman wizards, the Odin army could only watch as the Idar soldiers cast one "sky fire" after another in the sky...
This... is no longer the war that Raymond is familiar with!
