Chapter 111: Grand Duke Francis's Counterattack

Dawn came quietly as before, but on this refreshing morning, Jamins's military camp still did not return to peace.

After that nightmare night, all Jamins' soldiers were a little nervous. Seven or eight camps were full of messes, and whimpers and moans kept stimulating the nerves of the people around them. The unburned embers, the dark scorched earth and blood stains on the ground, and the shocking broken limbs and arms all made people feel uneasy...

The other soldiers who came to support the camp who were not attacked were in a daze for rescue work. The tired eyes and slightly dull movements made them look like puppets pulled by silk threads.

"Dear Duke, last night we had eight camps attacked, including 4,700 people killed, 14,000 seriously injured, and countless minor injuries... Among them, the guiding warlocks were almost wiped out, and none of the commanders and centurions in each camp were left. And all the survivors have not recovered from the influence of that strange poisonous fog..."

Grand Duke Francis waved his hand and interrupted the report of the adjutant standing behind him, "Do you still don't know who did it?"

"This..." The adjutant lowered his head and looked around hesitantly. All the other generals in the tent looked at each other, and no one dared to come forward to answer this question.

"Twenty thousand people..." Grand Duke Francis looked around the people present, stood up from the conference table, and slowly walked to the center of the tent, "Before this battle was fought, there were nearly twenty thousand people missing! Who can tell me what was going on?"

Although his tone and expression were still so calm, he did not dare to answer his questions under such circumstances. All the people present lowered their noble heads, not because of fear, but because of shame. These generals who lived and died for the motherland had never encountered such a thing. Thousands of soldiers were wiped out by the enemy, but they did not even see the shadow of the enemy! This is a humiliation that these veterans on the battlefield would never tolerate!

"Raise your heads! My gentlemen!" Grand Duke Francis raised his voice a little, and even if he only raised a little bit, the voice was still deafening. "This is not your fault! You are the best soldiers! You are the bravest soldiers! Don't let a little setback break your backbone! Lift your head up!"

Everyone looked up obediently, but everyone still felt deeply guilty in their eyes.

"Actually, this matter is not without benefits," said Grand Duke Francis. "I heard before this departure that someone had already booked the land prices of the Kingdom of St. Ostan in advance, and he would start looking for buyers as soon as the war was finished. Is there anything wrong with this?"

The generals here look at me and I look at you, but they don’t know what to say. This is not a secret, and everyone even got involved.

"Shemoth!" Grand Duke Francis said lightly, but his gaze did not fall on the Count who was accustomed to roaring, but pointed to the Castle Reston in the distance directly opposite the tent.

Earl Shemoth swallowed, and a layer of shiny sweat appeared on his forehead. He looked around uneasyly like a child who did something wrong. The late autumn breeze was already very cool, but he still felt as if he was about to catch a fire. He even felt as if he was staying in a big pot and he subconsciously pulled his collar.

"You are the one who led this matter?"

"I feel extremely ashamed, respected Duke." Earl Shemoth had nowhere to hide, and had nowhere to hide, so he had to stand up and apologize with his head down.

"Why do you feel ashamed?" Grand Duke Francis smiled and turned around, "For your confidence in winning?"

"No...I..." I didn't understand what Grand Duke Francis wanted to say, but Earl Shemus's face turned red but didn't know what to say.

"I don't want to say much about this." Grand Duke Francis passed behind him, patted his shoulder and sat him down, and then walked straight back to his seat. "I just wanted to remind you that once you start to look down on your opponents, then the day of your defeat will not be far from your destruction! And what happened last night made this point very clear! You all regard the Kingdom of St. Ostan as a weak sheep, but the facts prove that our enemies this time are not weak sheep, but rather ferocious lions! Looking at the lion with the eyes of looking at the sheep will have to pay a price!"

All the generals present blushed and lowered their heads.

"Did you feel humiliated?" Grand Duke Francis looked around the people present, and suddenly slapped the table and roared angrily, "Then I tell you now! The more you are like this, the more you have to lift my head up!"

Everyone felt a shock all over and then raised their heads.

"Now hundreds of thousands of soldiers are waiting for us to guide them on the road of victory. How do you lead them forward in this way?" Grand Duke Francis pointed at them with a heart-wrenching regret and said, "Look at you! Everyone lowered their heads like a little girl. Is this the style of the generals we Volken proud of? When you were with me, you were sleeping with the wind and eating in the open and fighting, where did you go? Now that the soldiers are more and more, are your courage getting smaller and smaller?"

"Petreal!" Grand Duke Francis pointed to the third middle-aged general on his left and said, "You were just a small knight, with only fifty simple-equipped cavalry around you, but with more than fifty beggar-like cavalry, we rushed to hundreds of miles in the war between us and the Kingdom of Peredes that year, breaking through the enemy's heavy blockade and delivering the emergency military information to me, shattering the enemy's despicable conspiracy! It avoided the ending of our army being betrayed by traitors! Where did you dare to assault thousands of enemies with more than fifty cavalry back then?"

Then his finger pointed to the second younger general on his right hand, "Dimansto! When the Principality of Profab attacked our Fort Rossman, you blocked the enemy's cavalry at the already ruined gate with only more than a thousand spearmen. Until our reinforcements arrived, more than a thousand spearmen died in battle and only more than a hundred and thirty people were left! But when I led Barron and the others to arrive, you stood in front and led the remaining soldiers to repel the enemy again and again! Where did your courage at that time go?"

"And you! Rafici! When we were sneak attacked by bandits from Mount Casfil, you only led your entourage to break through the encirclement and call reinforcements in the city! Where did your courage at that time go?"

"And you! You! You! Back then..."

The Grand Duke Francis became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became higher and higher. The generals present unconsciously raised their waists and straightened their waists even more and more as they shouted loudly, and the flames that were about to be extinguished in their bright eyes also burned again.

"Did you remember them all?" Seeing them reflect, Grand Duke Francis smiled with satisfaction.

"Sir! Please give us a chance to cleanse this humiliation!" The youngest generals sitting in the last row couldn't help it, and stood up and took the initiative to ask for the battle.

"Sir! I also ask for the opportunity to wash away the stains on my reputation!"

"Sir! So do I!"

"So, I am! Sir!"

"grown ups……"

"grown ups……"

The veterans whose names were named by Grand Duke Francis could not sit still, and stood up one by one and demanded angrily. The tent was filled with anger for a moment, and all the generals, both young and old, were ready to swore their hands to return the humiliation that the enemy had been put on themselves.

Looking at his subordinates who were cheering up again, Grand Duke Francis nodded with satisfaction. He knew that after yesterday's blow and today's blow, these soldiers who had forgotten the passion of the past had not only lost their morale, but also strengthened their belief in winning.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Feng Kan lowered his head and ate the breakfast that was almost turned into lunch, and said dissatisfiedly.

"..." Jace did not answer, but continued to look at him repeatedly with a very strange look.

"Hey! If you do this, we will turn against each other!" Feng Kan couldn't stand it anymore and stared at her with vicious threat.

"It's so strange..." Jace changed his position and continued to stare at him.

"What's strange?"

"I don't think you have anything special? Then how did you do the task that is impossible to complete this time?"

"That's all?"

Jace nodded honestly. This is what he didn't understand even though he wanted to break his head.

When Feng Kan returned intact with the "Snake Tooth" troops this morning, his eyes almost fell to the ground!

Last night, Jace watched nervously at what was happening opposite the city. The tragic battle scene made him almost unable to help but lead people out to support the friendly troops who were stealing the camp. If Logan and Kenjiro hadn't been blocking each other, he might have taken action long ago?

But as soon as the sky was dawn, Feng Kan came back with more than 150 people. It seemed that even a hair was missing on them - this was a real zero casualties!

It's incredible! Is this magic? Even a magician can't do this level, right? The other party is an elite army of hundreds of thousands, not hundreds of thousands of cabbages!

"cut……"

Feng Kan "cut" it with disdain, but ignored him. He covered his head and continued to eliminate the food in front of him. Although it was just a simple cooked fruits and vegetables, for him who was surrounded and celebrated until he barely escaped, it was a rare delicacy in the world!

——It’s delicious to eat when you’re hungry!

"What the hell did you do?" Jace still didn't give up and moved the chair under his butt and continued to inquire.

"What else can I do? That's it." Feng Kan said perfunctorily with a blank look.

"Don't be so stingy! Tell me..."

"It's useless to tell you!" Feng Kan grabbed the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth randomly, "Only we can use this method! Don't even think about it!"

"Why are you the only ones?" Jace became more interested. "Can't our soldiers behave like you?"

"Well... it's unlikely in the near future!" Feng Kan scratched his head with a headache. There were too many aspects involved. Not to mention anything else, he would not be able to do the advanced weapons and equipment of "Snake Teeth". If he could really do this, he would have gone home to sleep a long time ago. Will he still use the hard work here?

"It's unlikely in the near future?" Jace keenly found a gap in his words, "that is, if we have the opportunity in the future, our soldiers can be like them..."

"General Jace!" Just as Jace wanted to further inquire about the secrets of "Snake Eater", a soldier hurriedly broke in!

"What's the matter?" Although he was a little unwilling to give up, Jace still gave up the idea of ​​continuing to inquire. After all, there are more urgent things that need him to deal with.

"General! Come! Come!"

"What's coming?"

"Enemy in the valley! It has already driven towards us!"

Jace looked back thoughtfully and looked at Feng Kan, who was pinching a toothpick and was leisurely picking his teeth - he didn't expect that he would tell the truth!?

"Well..." Feng Kan patted his belly contentedly, "It seems that we did a bit too much last night. Grand Duke Francis was in a hurry to find a place so early..."
