Dudian obviously wasn't joking with Sergei. After eating the rabbit leg, he called Spear's staff officer: "There weren't any barbarians this morning. I guess they were killed and retreated. I'll leave this place to you. I'll take some people back and see if I'm needed in the frontline."
Spear looked at Dean in surprise: "Master, how can we do this. We have to stay here … I …"
"You can do it." Dean patted his shoulder and passed by him. He got on the horse and called Sergei, Gwyneth and the three mole generals. They left the Forest of Pain with 300 elite soldiers. They didn't return to the castle but went directly to the military headquarters.
"Master, are we really going to leave like this?" Sergei carefully looked at Dean: "I'm just saying. Don't take it too seriously. If the military blames us …"
"What's there to blame?" Dudian indifferently said: "Did any barbarians cross us and enter the commercial district while we were guarding?"
"Uh, no …"
Dean patted the horse and accelerated the speed of the march. Although he couldn't get any information or read the newspaper as he was stationed in the Forest of Pain for the past three days, but it was obvious that the barbarians had been repelled. After all, the weather had been dry for the past three days after the heavy rain. Although the temperature was only three or four degrees but it didn't hinder the artillery.
In addition to the artillery, he had made a lot of molds for the steam guns. He could mass produce them and put them into the war.
In such an era of cold weapons, the appearance of steam guns was a complete bully. The war was over before it started.
…
…
Military headquarters. Command.
Lorenzo and the generals stood in front of the sand table. The hills and lakes on the sand table didn't change much. The only difference was that the area inside the golden wall was covered with red flags. Now, there were only a few red flags on the hills in front of the Red Tail River. They were the only barbarians that had invaded the area behind the golden wall.
"Immediately send a battalion with two hundred 'steam guns' to annihilate them." Lorenzo reached out and pulled out the red flags. He threw them to the side and ordered in an indifferent tone.
The adjutant at the side immediately passed down the order.
"Everyone, it's time to recapture the golden wall." Lorenzo looked at the grey wall. It used to be their proud territory. "Dispatch the cannons on the boundary wall of the residential area. Also send a regiment. I want to hear the news that the golden wall has fallen before nightfall!"
"Yes."
"Commander, with our current manpower, even if we recapture a section of the golden wall, we won't be able to defend it. Although the production speed of the steam guns is very fast, but the time is too short. The regular army is bedridden and their physical strength hasn't recovered yet. How about we activate the golden wall?" Another general said.
Lorenzo narrowed his eyes: "Activating the golden wall is our ultimate means. We don't need to use it for the time being. If we expose all our cards in this war, most of them will be infiltrated by the Holy Church and the Dark Church in the future. We can't easily unsheathe the sword or it will rust."
"I also think so. Moreover, with the destructive power of the steam guns, as long as we capture a section of the golden wall, it won't be difficult to capture the rest of the place. All the factories can produce eight thousand steam guns a day. Moreover, the efficiency is gradually increasing. After the golden wall is captured, we can get nearly ten thousand steam guns tomorrow. In addition to the previous ones, we can completely recapture the golden wall!" Another general said.
"If it doesn't work then let's send the fire warriors!"
Lorenzo faintly smiled: "The fire warriors are our last line of defense. They don't need to go on the battlefield. The battle will end here. Previously when they were trying to snatch the golden wall, the damage was too serious. They won't be too stubborn now. After all, compared to the broken golden wall, they have occupied the Red Maple Mountains. It is easier to defend and more difficult to attack."
The surrounding people were stunned for a moment before they came to a realization.
"This time the inner wall didn't send reinforcements. I don't know if the barbarians expected this or if there are other reasons. I hope that the inner wall won't come out at this time …" Lorenzo whispered in a low voice.
They were startled as they looked at each other. They frowned as they felt that the situation was unusual.
…
Dudian asked for a pot of wine from a roadside pub on the way back to the military headquarters. He 'borrowed' the newspaper from the owner. He threw the wine to Sergei as he read the newspaper. He couldn't help but smile. He patted the horse's head and it trotted forward.
Dudian went to see Lorenzo after he arrived at the military headquarters.
Lorenzo had a headache as he saw the 'active' master. But he had the experience from last time so he had a way to deal with it. He sent Dudian to follow the siege troops to a battlefield with a greater advantage. The danger was relatively low.
Dudian readily agreed without any objection.
"Young master, why do I feel that the general is fooling us? I read in the newspaper that the most intense battle is at the golden wall. Why did he say that the place we are going to is more important? Is it more important than the golden wall?" Sergei asked curiously as he rode on his horse.
Dudian seriously replied: "Don't talk nonsense. The general must have his reasons. We are soldiers so we have to carry out the orders."
Sergei strangely looked at Dudian. He thought that Dudian was such an obedient person. How come he didn't know about it before? He turned to look at Gwyneth. Gwyneth winked at him. He was startled for a moment but suddenly thought of something. He turned around and saw the three Gophers.
The three Gophers were also looking at him.
Sergei laughed and threw the wine in his hand: "General Dyron, do you want to drink?"
Dyron smiled: "I don't drink when I march. It's a waste of time." He threw the wine back to Sergei.
"No wonder you are the general and I'm just a soldier." Sergei laughed as he reached out to catch the wine. He turned his head and took a sip. The smile on his face slowly disappeared.
Before sunset, the messenger rode a fast horse, shouting loudly as he galloped through the streets of the commercial district.
"The golden wall has been recaptured …"
The residents who heard the news were surprised. They looked at each other and then burst into cheers. Some of them were packing their luggage and preparing to migrate to the inner wall area.
Since the rain stopped three days ago, the newspapers had the news of the victory of the counterattack. In the past three days, the situation of the war had been completely reversed. The territory that had been taken away by the military was slowly being taken back. However, no matter how many victories there were, it was not as exciting as the news of the golden wall being retaken.
The restless hearts of the people in the commercial district and residential district had stabilized after the golden wall was recaptured. The military's counterattack didn't stop there. There were news of the victories in different areas. Dudian was stationed in the forest of pain and the barbarians were annihilated. He was sent to other areas to repel the barbarians.
