"That is …"
Roy stood on the high wall of Storm City. The top of the wall was damaged. It was the result of a battle with an enemy expert who had forcefully climbed the wall. He looked in the direction of the factory position and could clearly see the private army with the unicorn flag emblem retreating from the battlefield. Even in the battle just now, he had seen the spectacular bombardment of the Inch Fire Army. Dozens of fireballs pierced through the air to form a position attack, giving Roy a sense of déjà vu.
"It's a Flame Fighting Rifle!" A warrior dressed in a Blazing Battle Soldier beside him said happily, "That's definitely right. That's a Blazing Missile. Young Master Allen is back, and he has brought reinforcements! "
Roy narrowed his eyes and turned his gray eyes to the battlefield below the city. He raised his hammer and shouted, "Our reinforcements have arrived. Look at the position over at the factory. The enemy has already retreated. Everyone, work harder! "
Roy's cries echoed not only on the wall but also on the battlefield below. He deliberately gathered enough Origin Energy to spread these words, immediately causing an impact on the enemy.
One of the commanders with bauhinia and snake patterns on his cloak looked in the direction of the factory position and saw that the unicorn army was retreating from the battlefield. He immediately shouted angrily, "These cowards, aren't they reinforcements? Let's go! "
He ordered a mixed group of cavalry and hundreds of infantry to meet the reinforcements. However, not long after, the commander saw explosions behind him. Not only did his intercepting team not eat the reinforcements, they were instead defeated. At this point, he understood why the unicorns had retreated.
The Inch Fire Army continued to advance under Woody's leadership. They were like a military thorn, fiercely stabbing into the rear of the noble alliance army. Under the powerful firepower of the Blazing Battle Soldiers, the alliance army that used guns and swords was no match for them at all. In the blink of an eye, the Inch Fire Army pierced through the central army, scattering and tearing apart the Bauhinia Army's front. On the other side of the factory, seeing that the Bauhinia army was out of formation, Bloy made a prompt decision and rushed out of the bunker with the King Of Mountains and the rifle squad. With Inch Fire attacking Bauhinia one after another, the two sides finally met up in the middle.
The last remaining private army could not hold on alone. Their commander wanted to retreat, but Roy's artillery bombardment disrupted their formation. Roy changed his defensive strategy for several days and used Legg's Knight Regiment as the vanguard, while he led the other soldiers into battle. The warriors of Storm City had been hiding behind the high wall like turtles for the past few days, and they had already been suppressing their anger. Now that there was a place for them to vent, everyone was brave.
The Raging Thunder Knight Regiment rushed out of the city gate first. The Knight had a Sub-Ancient Origin Energy Rifle in his hand. With a slash of Legg's longsword, they all fired at the nobles' private army. The private army's fire/gun squad hurriedly raised their guns, but their fire/gun was completely defeated by the Origin Energy Gun, regardless of range or firepower. After a round of shooting, the private army's firearms team was immediately disorganized. After another round of bombardment, the enemy's vanguard was immediately torn open.
Legg clamped the horse's abdomen and sprinted with all his might. The Knight behind him also put away his Origin Energy Spear and replaced it with a longsword. Everyone's Origin Energy rose, and the men and horses crashed into the gap in the vanguard of the private army. The Knight Regiment didn't stop and continued to go deeper, tearing a wound in the enemy's position. Roy arrived with the infantry, further widening the wound.
At this point, the three noble allied armies fell into chaos. The unicorns retreated, and the two armies of Bauhinia and Dawn Castle were defeated. They could no longer form a formation. Instead, they were split up by Storm City, forming small local battlefields. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the battle finally ended. Most of the soldiers of the private army fled the battlefield, some became prisoners, and the rest died in battle.
The commanders of the Bauhinia and Dawn Castle armies were captured, including a portion of the officers who had become prisoners. While the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, Allen brought Regis and the others into Storm City. The two commanders of the private army were brought to the City Lord's Mansion. Their faces were covered in blood, and their armor was tattered. It could be imagined that they had been captured after a fierce battle.
When Allen came in, they were still roaring, threatening the soldiers who were escorting them to release them, or else they would slaughter Storm City. Allen waved his hand and let the soldiers go. Only Belmore and Regis were left beside him, and the others had their own things to deal with. Allen walked up to the commander of Bauhinia and asked, "What's your name?"
"Scram, I won't answer any of your questions! Let us go, or the end of your Storm City will come. "The commander roared angrily.
Allen nodded, stretched out his hand and spread out his palm. Regis handed over his Qianjun, and Allen grabbed it. Without looking at Qianjun, he waved it down and patted the commander's shoulder. Immediately, a dense sound of bones shattering rang out. The commander's expression changed, and his shoulder immediately stepped down. However, his collarbone was smashed by Allen's saber, and he immediately screamed miserably.
The other commander's expression changed drastically as he said, "You can't do this to us. It's just a mere border city. Wait, alright, sir, what do you want to know? "
Seeing Allen raise his heavy saber and not the slightest interest in listening to him talk to himself, the commander of Dawn Castle immediately changed his words. Allen nodded and asked, "Your name?"
"Slott, my lord."
"Very good, Mr. Slott. Tell me, why did you attack us? Don't talk nonsense about a merchant group. As long as you're not blind, you can tell that it's just an excuse. What I want to know is who your master is? Where is the territory? How many soldiers are there! "
Seeing that the questions Allen asked were all military secrets, Slott's expression immediately turned ugly. His eyes rolled and he was about to speak. Qianjun's black blade entered his mouth, making him unable to say a single word. Allen shook his head. "I thought you were an honest man, but it seems that I was wrong. Then I'm sorry, Mr. Slott. Since you won't tell me, I'll have to let the professionals handle it. I bet you'll regret what you've done. "
Then, looking at Belmore, Allen withdrew Qianjun and said, "I'll leave it to you."
Belmore bowed exaggeratedly and sneered at Slott, "I'm happy to serve you."
Allen led Regis away. Not long after, a series of screams came from the City Lord's Mansion, as if a young girl had stripped naked in front of everyone's eyes. The voice carried seven points of humiliation and three points of anger, making one wonder what Belmore had done.
In the evening, a few pages of reports arrived at Allen's study desk. According to the report, Bauhinia and Dawn Castle each came from the territory of a baron. As for the unicorns that Zhi Ji had withdrawn, their owner was even a viscount. These Sir were all subordinates at the feet of a certain big shot, and their territory was located on the other side of the Wilderness Highlands.
Not long ago, textiles from Sur City became popular in the territory of these Sir. After inquiring, they learned of the recent changes in the border area, so a few Sir decided to annex Storm City and Sur City, and then divide the benefits afterwards. Therefore, they sent out a caravan to create trouble in the name of seeking cooperation, so as to provide an open excuse for future military operations.
This was the origin of the incident. At the end of the report, the names of the Sir, the location of their territories, and brief information about the army, economy, and so on were also listed. This information was naturally obtained from the mouths of the two commanders. As for how Belmore interrogated him, Allen was naturally not interested in knowing. He called the clerk to draft two letters and send them to Bauhinia and Dawn Castle, asking their lords to redeem the two commanders and pay a large sum of war reparations.
Allen was almost certain that the two Sir would only redeem the commander. After all, talent was hard to find, even though the two commanders were only at the level of Level 15 or Level 16. However, they would definitely not pay war reparations. Firstly, the amount was not small, and secondly, it was related to their face. However, Allen didn't care. It was best if the other party didn't compensate him. That would give him a legitimate reason to take revenge in the future.
As for the captured officers and soldiers, Allen did not intend to let the other party redeem them. He had Roger contacted again, intending to sell the captives as slaves to the big merchant. As for the armor, guns, and so on recovered from the battlefield, they were naturally spoils of war. Those that could be used could be sent to the soldiers after simple repairs, or temporarily stored in the warehouse. As for those that were no longer usable, they were all sent to the steel mill to be recast. Allen would not waste any resources.
It was already late when he finished dealing with these matters. He couldn't help but stretch his back. When he returned to Planet Heaven, he felt like he had endless work to deal with.
After dinner, he met with Roy and the others and introduced Woody to them. Allen did not forget to tell Roy to merge the Blazing Battle Soldiers he had brought with him, as well as the rifle squad he had organized later, into the Inch Fire Force and let Woody train and manage them. Roy naturally agreed, so it was already late at night when he finished his military affairs and lay in bed.
A few days later, Edward personally led a group of soldiers to Storm City to protect the technical team. The battlefield on Storm City's side had been cleaned up. However, there were still charred ground in the wilderness, as well as the craters created by artillery shells that needed to be refilled. These traces of war were shocking. When the team entered Storm City, Roger happened to send guards to escort carts of prisoners of war away, and Allen made a small profit for this.
After meeting Edward, Allen led the technical team to the weapons workshop. The workshop was already in use, and a newly recruited group of blacksmiths were repairing the recovered armor and weapons. He led the technical team around the workshop and then went to the steel mill. Finally, he said to a man in the team named Lin Si, "I'll leave these two factories to you from now on. If you need anything, just let me know. But I want to see the real benefits. Can you do it, Mr. Lin Si? "
Lin Si was a weapons designer and the director of the squad. He smiled confidently and said, "If I can't even do this, how dare I accept Steward Helsing's commission?"
Allen nodded and said, "Very well, then the first problem I need you to solve is the supply of ammunition for the Fire Fighting Rifle. After that is the standard rifle. After that, you can submit an exhibition plan to me and I will carefully approve it. "
"As you wish, Young Master Allen." Lin Si nodded.
