Heroes of Silver Moon - Chapter 728

The tragic defeat of the night attack made the two first-line legions that had just joined the battlefield wake up instantly, and began to honestly launch a frontal attack.

After several days of strong attack, the effect was very little.

As a last resort, Ivey and the rest of the army chiefs discussed the countermeasures again.

Ivy said in a deep voice: “It won’t work like this. The Silver Moon Kingdom is too tightly defended, and there are almost no flaws to find. We must find a way to lure them to take the initiative.”

Lydia frowned: “But the Silvermoon Kingdom itself implements the strategy of sticking to it, and there is no need to take the initiative to attack at all!”

Unlike the empire, as long as the Silvermoon Kingdom can hold on to this line of defense, it will be able to win the war. Unless the commander of the opponent suddenly becomes stupid, it is impossible to adopt such a highly risky tactic.

While everyone was thinking hard, Mick’s eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something: “If they don’t take the initiative to attack, then we will force them to attack!”

Ivy looked at him: “How to force?”

Mick pointed to the map and said, “These towns in the Silver Moon Kingdom may be able to be used.”

Since the Battle of Yelin River, Simon has moved all the people north of Yelin River to the southern border. It can be said that he has completely abandoned the area north of Yelin River.

After the Red Scorpion Khanate was defeated last time, some lords along the Yelin River set their sights on this deserted land, encouraged the people, and spontaneously established several towns on the other side of the river.

Before the outbreak of this war, Graton had repeatedly forced these people to withdraw, but no one was willing to give up the land they had gained for nothing, so very few responded to the call.

Not only that, after the war broke out, these towns also provided a lot of logistical supplies to the imperial army.

After all, in their view, the people of the Silvermoon Kingdom and the people of the Empire are not much different, anyway, nobles and lords all over the world are the same.

Compared with choosing a camp, they care more about how many acres of land they have in their hands, because this is the real thing!

If the war goes smoothly as expected, then these people’s choices are indeed correct. After the empire annexed the Silver Moon Kingdom, in order to appease people’s hearts, they would not care about them at all.

But now, the empire has been deeply mired in the quagmire of war, and it has been unable to break the deadlock for a long time. Before annexing the Silver Moon Kingdom, these people are still the people of the enemy country…

Ivy narrowed his eyes: “What do you mean?”

Mick said as a matter of course: “Massacre the city, use the tragedy of the people to stimulate them to fight!”

 …

The town is burning, and the army of the Silvermoon Kingdom has witnessed the coming of **** on earth.

The imperial army slaughtered a town mercilessly, looting supplies and money. The heads of men and old women who were taller than wheels were all chopped off and piled up in front of the new army.

Children and some young women were nailed to human-shaped frames and skinned, and some women with fair looks were caught in the army for the soldiers to have **** with.

Moreover, the imperial army also surrounded several other towns, the meaning is also very obvious, that is to force the Silver Moon Kingdom to send troops to rescue them, otherwise they will continue to massacre the city!

In the headquarters of the Silver Moon Kingdom, there was an officer trembling all over, gnashing his teeth and saying: “This, what kind of vicious person can do this!”

“Commander, let’s bring someone to rescue!”

“Yes, Commander-in-Chief, the soldiers of the empire are all cowards. You just need to give me a regiment to guarantee that the people in those towns can be rescued!”

The voices of the officers asking for battle came to Graton’s ears in an endless stream, but he seemed to have deafened him until no one continued to speak, and then said calmly: “Without a military order, no one is allowed to go to war without authorization!”

The officers were shocked: “Commander, why is this?”

Graton said expressionlessly: “I don’t know what the commander-in-chief of the imperial army is planning, but I know that as long as we go to rescue, we will definitely fall into a passive position!”

An officer with a strong sense of justice suddenly slapped the table and stood up: “Are you kidding, you let us watch the people being massacred!”

Graton glanced at him indifferently: “From the moment they choose the empire, they are no longer the people of the Silvermoon Kingdom!”

The officer snorted coldly: “You are arguing. Their ancestors lived in the Silver Moon Kingdom for generations, so they are not considered the people of the Silver Moon Kingdom. Also, if I remember correctly, you are a knight sealed by the king himself, because Abandon the people if there is danger, what kind of **** knight are you?”

Most of the officers of the new legion belonged to knight families who were directly loyal to the royal family.

Although the noble class is generally decayed, it has to be admitted that there are still quite a few lower-level nobles who still adhere to the spirit of chivalry.

But in Graton’s view, chivalry itself is a double-edged sword, and a moment of kindness during a war will only cause greater losses!

Gratton asked: “Do you want to rescue those towns, do you really love the people, or is it just to protect your reputation?”

The officer replied without thinking: “Of course I really care for the people!”

Graton rarely showed anger, and gritted his teeth: “Then have you ever thought that if the rescue of them leads to the defeat of the war, which in turn leads to the destruction of the Silver Moon Kingdom, then the life and death of all the people will be in the hands of the empire? between!

At that time, not only these tens of thousands of people will be massacred, but the entire Silver Moon Kingdom will become a purgatory on earth!

You keep saying that you really love the people, but in fact it’s just for self-satisfaction and to protect your own reputation. What kind of **** knight are you! “

The officer was at a loss for words, but he still insisted: “It’s fine if you don’t send troops to rescue, why do you give yourself so many reasons for your timidity.

I’m leaving my words here today, the people in these towns, I will definitely save them! “

A trace of coldness flashed across Graton’s face: “Anyone who goes into battle without receiving orders will be killed without mercy!”

The officer didn’t take it seriously at all, and walked straight outside the headquarters.

The atrocities committed by the imperial army made the entire new legion grieve with hatred. It was the ambition of the army to save the people in those towns. If he was killed, the morale of the entire legion would be broken.

Therefore, he was sure that Graton would never dare to kill him!

boom! A gunshot sounded, and the officer fell to the ground. Everyone was startled. They turned their heads and saw the revolver in Graton’s hand, with gunpowder smoking slowly from the muzzle.

The officers suddenly became angry: “Graton! What are you going crazy, we need an explanation!”

They can accept that Graton will not rescue the people, because anyone can see that this is definitely a trap of the Imperial Army.

But they must not accept that an upright knight was murdered behind his back by his comrades!

Graton replied without showing any weakness: “I said ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Those who go to battle without receiving the military order will be killed without mercy!”

Seeing that the entire headquarters was full of gunpowder, Mikkel, who was serving as a staff officer, hurried out to smooth things over: “Everyone calm down, don’t forget that we are still at war with the Empire!”

The officers were silent for a moment, then said coldly: “It is because we are on the battlefield that we gave the commander-in-chief a chance to explain!”

Graton said with a frosty face: “I need to remind all the adults again that we are facing a war of destroying the country. If we are not careful, the country will be destroyed. For our land, for our people, may I implore you My lord, put aside all interests and reputation, even if we use the most despicable means, we must win this war, we must win this war!”

All the officers fell into silence. Although they were unhappy with Graton, they had to admit that what Graton said was true. Silvermoon Kingdom couldn’t afford to lose this war!

After a while, Bronco, the commander of the fourth division, broke the silence. He pulled out the long sword at his waist and raised it high: “The commander-in-chief is right, as long as this war can be won, it is nothing to sacrifice a little reputation.

My friends, we have all made an oath to His Majesty the King, we will become the sword and shield in his hands, and we will defend this land and the people living in this land until we die!

Have you all forgotten? ! “

Hearing what Bronco said, the faces of these officers softened a little, and they glared at Graton angrily and said, “For His Majesty’s sake, this is the only time!”

After speaking, the shouts of the knights resounded through the sky: “Be loyal to the king until death!”

They can not care about this country, but they cannot care about their suzerain!

Because, this is the enfeoffment system…
