Chapter 701 I have reason to suspect that there is some unknown ‘inside story’ in this matter!
Since the end of the "Battle of Mountain Fortress".
Due to a large number of injured soldiers, the number of combat regiments active on the front line of the Eastern Allied Forces suddenly decreased significantly.
Based on this reason, everyone originally thought that the Eastern Allied Forces' Northern Expedition would slow down.
However, judging from the actual results, their Northern Expedition not only did not slow down, but actually accelerated a lot!
——The orcs also suffered heavy losses in that battle! Morale is particularly low!
For more than a month and nearly two months.
The Northern Expedition advancement matters of the eastern coalition armies are proceeding extremely smoothly!
There was no decent resistance from the orcs along the way.
The army even wasted more time setting up camp!
We are only halfway through building this camp.
Good news came from various places on the front line. They needed to go to the northern area to set up camps. The baggage that was originally meant to be transported here also had to be transported to the further northern area.
Such a situation caused the logistics staff's tasks to increase a lot.
Of course, although it became very busy, everyone was in a very happy mood.
After all, the progress of their Northern Expedition is rapidly accelerating!
"One-third!
In less than four months since the war began, our eastern coalition has already traveled one-third of the way!
And the distance from the Endless Sea There are still about ten months before the magic tide reaches its highest point!
There is plenty of time!
If it continues, the one who touches the Endless Sea may be the one who originally expected. It’s impossible for us to join the Eastern Alliance!”
Riding a war horse and walking on the smooth road paved with magic, Lord Romine opened his arms with a look of pleasure.
It’s like wanting to embrace the endless sea at the end of the northern land.
In fact, they are leaving their frontline station and heading south.
For nearly two months, they have been active on the front line, conquering cities and territories along the way.
Because the supply line was stretched too long at once, the logistical pressure increased.
So they will now go back to rest for a while and deal with logistical matters.
Seeing the excitement on Mr. Romien’s face, Mr. Mesa also smiled and added:
“Due to our progress, we suddenly jumped to the top of the three-way coalition.
His Majesty the Emperor seems to be considering gathering troops towards us in the future.
So if we continue to advance at the current speed, even if the orcs increase their troops towards us.
>
We also have a good chance of being the first to see the Endless Sea!
If that time comes, we must be at the forefront!
Such an honor, since you have the opportunity, you must seize it! "
Hearing this, Mr. Romien rushed and said:
"Don't think about it. When the time comes, all high-level military forces will definitely rush to the front. of.
At most, you can only be the second batch of people to see the endless sea! ”
Being so crowded by his friends, Mr. Mesa was not dissatisfied at all.
——Even the second group of people who saw the Endless Sea were already in the entire Empire’s Northern Expedition. At the top!
Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Mr. Mesa's mouth couldn't help but become more conspicuous.
At this moment, he saw Parallel frowning from the corner of his vision. , like Mr. Claude who encountered some problem.
Master Mesa drove his war horse close to him, patted him on the shoulder with a "slap", and then asked:
"What are you thinking about? It's like losing a battle?"
Sudden encounter to "Punch".
He turned his head and glanced at Mr. Mesa angrily, and then rubbed his poor shoulders.
Master Claude explained helplessly:
"I heard from people in the family that Andy seemed to have mixed up with the recruits heading north and ran towards the battlefield together."
Suddenly hearing the young heir of the Claude family running towards the battlefield, Mesa University The master couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Then, Mr. Cecil next to him also frowned and said:
"The same goes for my Finn. The two of them might act together.
>
In recent years, Finn has grown very fast. As long as I am not around, most people in the family will listen to him. Although I have explicitly forbidden him from going north to join the war, Finn is not a good person. .
What's more, with Finn's current strength and wearing high-end equipment and accessories, not many people in the family can beat him! "
I heard two young heirs of the mage family running to the battlefield together.
Master Romien shrugged and said:
"This kind of thing is not that bad. It's easy to avoid it, just like we can't wait to be the first to see the endless sea.
They obviously also want to participate in this war that has far-reaching significance for the empire.
In this way, they will have more bragging rights in their lives, right? "
At the end of the sentence, Mr. Romien had a cheerful smile on his lips!
Then he made another suggestion:
"Let them come The northern battlefield is actually not a bad thing, it helps to enhance their prestige and knowledge.
You just need to be adequately prepared in terms of protective measures.
As for this, doesn’t our pioneering legion happen to have a master of rune formations?
In order to cope with this pioneering war, he must have prepared a large amount of inventory for himself before the war. There will definitely be no shortage of spell scrolls used in various critical moments!
Of course, you must also be fully mentally prepared for the price.
Our master is extremely greedy! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Mesa smiled and continued:
“Speaking of Brand’s spell scroll, I have some interesting information here.
From the beginning of the war to now , if calculated according to the various 'situation statements' reported by Brand through me.
The total number of large magic-level spell scrolls used by Brand on the battlefield seems to have exceeded. Fifty volumes!”
Hearing this, Mr. Romien couldn’t help but said in surprise:
"Fifty volumes? That should be Brand's bragging, right?"
Master Mesa explained:
"Every time he fights the Titan Orcs, Brand will use More than one big magic, this is obvious to everyone.
You have to know that Brand is just a junior mage.
In terms of 'common sense', he must have used magic. Scroll.
Of course, we naturally know that Brand must have used the same method he used in the duel with Lennart, but the coalition command does not know.
Furthermore, according to Brand, that method also has great limitations and costs.
If we specifically measure the value, I'm afraid it won't be much worse than the spell scroll. "
Hearing this statement, Mr. Romien couldn't help but think deeply.
And then, he said with some doubts:
"Isn't the statistics of achievements in the pioneering war based on results?
Even if you use a spell scroll of great magic to kill an ordinary orc, is it still the merit of an ordinary orc, right?
What is the use of Brand reporting that he has used a lot of magic scrolls? "
Speaking of this matter, Lord Mesa drove his war horse closer.
Then he explained in a low voice:
"Although the calculation of meritorious service and war contribution in the pioneering war is indeed results-based.
But in some cases where the achievements are huge and difficult to identify specifically.
The coalition command will also use its discretion as appropriate. Consider the personal cost.”
As Mr. Mesa finished speaking, he combined with some of the previous statements.
Master Romien couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.
——The businessman's sense of smell made him detect something different!
So, he also drove his war horse closer and asked in a low voice:
“It sounds reasonable on the surface.
But listen to what you said before , Brand seems to be doing this a little... frequently?
I have reason to suspect that there is some kind of unknown 'insider' in this matter!"
Hearing this, the old man from Mesa whispered:
“Because you were in the rear before, so you don’t know much about the situation here.”
After looking around a few times, , Mr. Mesa continued:
“To be specific, the situation is quite complicated...”
