After five days –

“Is it the Princess?”

“Yes, this is a message that the command has just received, and the exact number is still being verified, but at least it should be more than 600.”

“The garrison for the castle has already implemented containment, and they should move from overland to Winterfell after the rest.”

“No, that’s what we should do.”

"It's hard, please rest."

After Edith’s report, she hung up the microphone steadily.

As the highest level of communication means, hand-shaking telephone has become an indispensable equipment of the staff, only limited by the transmission distance, currently can be directly connected to the cage mountain highland, only outside the town of thorns empty knight camp.

As soon as she looked back, she saw a surprised third brother, Lance Kant.

“What’s the matter?”

Unlike his second brother Cole, Edith used the relationship directly through the primary education assessment of Lance into the general staff - considering that the third brother's sex is more out of, she thinks it is more appropriate for her to look at it.

Of course, it is also easier for her to appreciate the pain of the other party in the event of a setback.

"Ah... no, nothing, I'm just a little accident, it turns out that the eldest sister will also respect people."Lance came up with a stack of papers, "You've never been so polite to talk to your father before."

"I thought that when you're an adult, your brain volume will increase a little bit.""Talking to my father, because my father will not take me, but Tilly Wimbledon is the sister of Her Majesty Roland, and if she puts more words of my impudence in front of her brother, what do you think the future of the Kantes family will be?"

“But I always think that you are not so serious about your majesty yourself...”

“Because your majesty is male, occasionally taking the initiative can produce a strange effect.”

“Oh, I don’t really understand...”

"The human heart is the highest level of strategy, and it is normal not to understand," said Edith, shrugging, "even if you have a thousand skills, you do not understand that the human heart can not become the ultimate winner."

“Sister, can you teach me?”Lance asked expectantly.

"Of course," said Edith, glancing at him with interest, "but anything is most effective in trying it personally than mere teaching, for example, Cole has done very well on this point.“How, do you want to try it?”

Langston felt a chill in his heart, thinking of his brother's appearance at home, and he swallowed, "That... I'll wait."

The pearl of the north retracted his gaze, "You decide for yourself."

For example, Lans, who has been granted amnesty, hastened to change the topic, "Yes, did you call your Highness to report the safe arrival of refugees?"

Edith nodded, "After all, Her Royal Highness Tily told the staff about it as soon as she came back, and of course she had to be informed at the first time."

The whole rescue operation exceeded everyone's expectations, and the empty knight not only went to the battlefield 200 kilometers away in just over an hour, saving a large number of refugees, but also foiled the devil's tricks.

This is no ordinary hunt.Judging from the clues that the refugees are afraid that they are just the bait thrown by the enemy, and the real fatal blow is hidden behind the chasing team.

What if the First Army really sent rescue teams to pick up?

Due to the bad weather and the long distance, if you want to arrive quickly, you must be lightly loaded and traveling day and night.In order to prolong the pursuit time as much as possible, the devil is completely a restful faction.When the two sides collide, the rescue team will find that they are not only facing no less than their own enemy forces, but also resist attacks from the beast.

Even if you retreat immediately, you have to trek nearly 100 kilometers in the wind and snow, and how many people can eventually escape back?I'm afraid there won't be any.

This was the devil’s first attempt to shrink the First Army.

Even if the latter ignores the refugees, or does not find the pursuit of the north of the wind and whistled, there is no loss for the devil.

They have probably realized that there is a fundamental difference between the gray castle and the wolf heart and the permanderable people, and even if there are more local people who kill them, they will not have any impact on the victory or loss of the battle of God's will, and every time a rescue team is eliminated, it will weaken the human power by one point.

But the appearance of the empty knights caught the ambush by surprise.

Everything is quite like the North Slope shelling battle a year ago, the enemy and the First Army have each made their own judgments in their favor, but the results are very different.

Even if Tilly did not find another enemy lurking behind, the battle would not change.

In the end, the flight team returned safely, and the fugitive refugees were lucky to escape, which can be called a big victory.

"The empty knight is really powerful," Reims sighed, "not only killed dozens of wild demons, but also retreated in the case of the four sides of the army, even if it is the former federation of the Holy Lord, it is difficult to do this?" 」

"Yes, it's really great."

With a sigh of relief, Edith put her legs across the table and slowly leaned back on the back of the chair, with some interest.

Lance stuttered, “You seem... a little unhappy?”

“I can’t say enough to be unhappy, I just feel that ... the staff will soon become a mere installation.”

“The tid?”The third brother rolled his eyes.

"Four Heavenly Fires can force out more than two hundred demons, if the First Army has a hundred, or even a thousand Skyfires?"Edith smiled, “Then just say one word, and wherever there is an enemy, send the empty knight to go.”Strategy and calculation will become meaningless, and the previous sentence will say, if this step, the staff is not set up and what is?"

In fact, when she first saw this free-flying machine, she realized its great military potential, and then talked to Roland the most about the use of empty knights.Even she had built a team in the General Staff to study Air Force tactics in order to maximize the use of such new weapons.

But when it really shined in the first battle, the northern pearl felt a little regret.

Because the advantage of the empty knight is too obvious, it makes the importance of strategy decrease.In the age of the Knights, the formation and tactical development of the line-up were much more elaborate, and now it is undoubtedly much simplified - because the Air Force has a field of view advantage, which can make battlefield intelligence more transparent, coupled with a strong mobility ability, enough to cover the entire area of the war.

In other words, as long as you can occupy the sky, you can completely grasp the enemy's every move, and the enemy's situation is completely the opposite, in the face of the situation is almost dark, in addition to passive beating, it is difficult to make an effective response.

Not to mention that his majesty also revealed that the Tianfang number has only just started, which is equivalent to the same as the current Mark one.

“In that case, we’ll go back to Night City,” Lance whispered.

"I'm afraid it's too late," said Edith, laughing softly, "I'm afraid I've offended a lot of people by sitting in this seat."Do you think those people will last me the rest of my life?”

Of course, she knew that if the ruler was Roland, nothing would have happened, but she never thought of the worst possible, because the malicious words always hurt others.

“I’ll... protect you.”Lance bit his lip.

“By what?”Is it your current position and ability?If you can't climb high, such empty words are still not good to say."She felt a sense of pleasure, "otherwise the result will only be worse, such as those enemies in front of your face, take me—"

Edith suddenly closed her mouth.

Footsteps rang outside the room, and soon Philin Sirte pushed the door in.

“Adult, you are here...”

“Is there any new information coming out?”

"If only it had been," said the morning light with a headache, "I have just checked the list of material requirements for the empty Knights' training camp, and I am afraid that the recent logistics plans will have to be rewritten."

“Oh?”

"You may not know that they have used nearly 10,000 rounds of bullets in the last few days, and that does not include the consumption of a formal strike."Philin exulted, "And those students only 20 or 30 people, this demand has been worth the cost of ten classes of the musket camp!"Not to mention the reserves of fuel and aircraft parts, I think if their number is doubled a few more times, how can the logistics be taken up... uh, adults?”

Lance suddenly found that the languidness in his sister did not know when it had been swept away.

Edith got up from her seat and replied lightly, “You are the lead in doing this, and in any case, the supply of the empty knights must be guaranteed.”Then she looked at Lance, “What are you doing there?”

“Yes?”The latter could not return to God.

"Come with me to the intelligence room, it's far from rest."Edith neatly raised her hair and turned and walked outside.
