Chapter 83 Prussia Gone

Did the Prussians come to this city? After they looted Streiss, they burned many villages along the way, leaving behind a few pieces of scorched earth, and then set up camp about five miles away from the city of Luzpittburg. .

In the neurotic words of the mayor, the Prussians are about to attack every day.

To be honest, five miles is not far.

But since they took Fort Luzpitt as the last point of attack, it shows that the commander's desire to attack is not deep.

Or to put it another way, the decision to attack or not was not in the hands of the Prussians or the Prussian commanders, but in the combat situation on the Franchite and Lusitania fronts.

As a close neighbor, Prussia does not actually border Francite.

The king of Prussia had a need for hegemony, but no territorial claims.

At least there are no territorial claims to Francitt.

Because of this, he sent troops from the very beginning to contain Francett's southern forces, hoping to delay Prince Condé's tactics of joining forces and ease the pressure on the allies on the front line.

It's just that after they invaded the southern region, the Prussians found that the army here was really irresistible. They went back and forth several times and almost ran out of logistics supplies. They could only find a few cities to loot and try to find some. wealth.

Precious metals and luxury goods filled the officers' pockets, so the leading general wanted to go deeper.

Marshal Blücher vehemently refuted this view, stating in his letter: "The defenses in the south of Francitte are lax because their attention has been on Lusitania to the north. And the south is favorable to There are not many defended cities, and there are few dangerous strategic points."

"Don't underestimate the Franchites, they're not fools."

"I have observed your action points, from Bardonecchia to St. Valina, you may be able to reach Marciac at the deepest point, but why not go deeper. I am afraid that you have also noticed Francit The fortresses are getting stronger and stronger, and the militia is growing in number."

"They stand on their own soil and don't need to worry about logistics and ambushes."

"And you are different."

"There are several cities that you can't break through. For example, Lyon is a very rich place with plenty of troops, and there are rivers nearby. If you relax your vigilance in this place, it is possible for the entire army to be wiped out accidentally. .”

"Pay more attention to the battle on the front line. Once Lusitania shows signs of collapse, return in time with the loot you have looted. Your best retreat direction is the Black Forest of Fort Luzpitt. You only need one or two smuggling guides. You'll get the best cover."

The mayor kept looking for the nobles to discuss how to hire militias and defend their homes.

Just as they were talking about how much each person needed to spend and how much tax the residents had to pay, the Prussian legion that had been stationed for three days finally made a move.

Under the hopeless eyes of the mayor, these people passed near the city gate.

The sound of striding almost caused a small earthquake, and the fusiliers walked in the forefront, carrying their muskets with high spirits. Their clothes were very distinctive, very wide from top to bottom, and a simple gray short cap cap.

Unlike other arms, artillery is uniformly equipped with spherical helmets.

Some artillerymen will stuff their boots with cotton. In addition to stuffing them into their ears to prevent hearing degradation, the artillerymen also need to follow mules and horses to transport cannons. These cottons can be useful at critical times.

Field gunners have shorter cuffs and are equipped with cavalry belts and sabers, while ordinary artillerymen only have a bayonet.

Most of the passing artillery was field artillery.

Ordinary artillery followed at the rear.

It seems that they are determined that there will not be any fighting here.

dong dong dong, dong dong dong.

The military band is the soul of a regiment.

At any time the command of the commander is carried out simultaneously with the military band and the herald.

These people must have meant to show off.

At least the residents have never heard of drummers who beat like pig iron, the standard-bearers at the front are meticulous, and the flags of yellow-ground black eagles fly proudly across the sky of other countries.

People watched the army leave numbly, and there was even a trace of rejoicing in their hearts.

"Fortunately, these people did not rob."

"Prussians are respectable."

The departure of the army has made the city government let go of the stone in its heart, but the residents have to face their own problems. They now know that there is a wizard living in Beauxbaton Hospital.

Suspecting that there is a wizard and being sure that someone is a wizard are two different concepts.

Originally, Ivan thought that the residents of Luzpittburg who knew the truth would boil like a pan of oil, but the news sank into the Acheron River like a giant ship, and the whole was incomparably silent.

All were whispering, like crabs hiding behind coral trees.

Only in the shadows where others can't see, will they stretch out their chelicerae and share discussions with each other.

It is impossible to expect Ivan to be well received.

It is generally believed that he is a vicious and terrifying demon.

Some people hated him to the bone, and some people fantasized about being able to eat his flesh raw.

In those private communications that are concealed, the eyes of the residents are always full of hostility. While carefully looking at the outside world, they are afraid that their whispers will be heard by others, and at the same time curse Ivan with the dirtiest and vicious words in their lives.

When the residents in the downtown area couldn't eat the bark of the elm tree, they associated the rotten bark in their hands with Ivan's face, and bit it viciously.

Some people couldn't even eat the bark, so they made up nursery rhymes about wizards and begged in the streets.

After a lap, there is no problem with being full.

The residents of Luzpittburg did not implement their inner thoughts, just because they lacked the courage to act, and at the same time they were afraid of the more than 2000 corpses of all kinds.If it really angered him, Ivan didn't mind making them part of the corpse.

Think about the 2000 people who died because of ghouls before, which adds up to almost 4000 people.

Calculated in this way, almost one-fifth of the people in Luzpittburg died because of him.

Injuries are counted separately.

Ivan isn't dead now, really thanks to the fact that the rest of the city doesn't have weapons.

Fearing a possible wizard's curse on the corpses, residents had to abandon their families and leave them dead in the wilderness.Little Simmons can only take part of the tight hospital budget and hire beggars to hide them.

"Quick, move quickly."

Robespierre commanded the servants to move the furniture with complicated emotions, he didn't know if he would have a chance to come back to this place.

Ivan's otherworldly methods completely frightened him. If he doesn't leave now, what awaits the Dumont family in the future may not necessarily be a loss in profit.

Living people create wealth.

The dead become the property of others.

This is a motto left by the ancestors.

He only felt a toothache. With his proud aristocratic status, excellent financial tools, and means of extortion, no matter which city he went to, he could continue to plunder the property of ordinary residents like a fish in water.

Looting never ends.

But fleeing so quickly will definitely lose part of the property. The accumulation of several generations has allowed the Dumont family to own such a luxurious mansion in the local area. Robespierre is reluctant to part with the bricks and tiles in the house, and the mansion is impossible You can let go immediately.

A house of this size is worth a lot. Behind the manor there are supporting private churches, plantations, small gardens, mill houses, etc. Not to mention his three buildings near the city hall garden. If he entrusts a partner to list for sale, the result will be inevitable. Part of the profit will be shared.

Robespierre sighed, but looked to the north with great annoyance.

A green hill arches above the horizon, and at the foot of the hill there is a wooden bridge leading to the place where the demon lives.He couldn't wait any longer, the light was relatively dim now, if even the birds that couldn't see the shadow were screaming eeriely, then his resentment was not cowardly without grounds.

This man should be distinguished from the hatred of ordinary residents.

He is capable of revenge.

"I wish you an early death."

"Otherwise, when I come back next time, I will definitely look for you with full armor. Wizards can kill ordinary people, but they cannot kill steel cannons. Presumably your witchcraft will not stop soldiers from far away from pulling the trigger. hand."

"The gunpowder exploded, and all the bullets were fired."

"You can't survive, no way."

The establishment of a commercial order takes a long time, but once established, it will not disappear.

Robespierre has cultivated the habit of local residents willing to borrow money-at least they are willing to seek help from bankers before they go bankrupt. Now that he is gone, the financial industry market will inevitably be crowded by others.

"I will definitely be back."

The carriage Shi Shiran left the city, followed by members of several other small families.
