Happy people from Blue Star

Before coming, Petra told Hardy that the changes in the Netherlands were suspected to be caused by the evil god.

Now that he 'saw' Gustav, Hardy confirmed that Petra had guessed correctly.

Although Gustav was a very capable general, he had strong command abilities.

But his own strength is not that great.

He is only slightly stronger than an ordinary soldier. After all, he is also a professional.

But now Hardy felt that Gustav's hidden magical fluctuations were already at the master level.

Although he is far inferior to himself, he is already considered a strong man in the human world.

What made Hardy feel even more uneasy was that the opponent's magic was filled with evil aura.

A follower of evil gods?
Hardy sighed softly in his heart.

Gustav should have been a good friend, but unfortunately, he was bewitched by the evil god.

I don't know if I can wake him up.

But even if he was awakened, what could he do? Gustav had killed so many people and massacred the Duchy of Silesia, and now he was attacking France.

He is already a war criminal.

Unless Gustav could conquer the entire Aloba, he would surely be subject to war arbitration and eventually hanged.

Hadi looked at the team in the distance and slowly retreated back to their camp.

Levi came over and asked, "Sir Hardy, how do you think that Blackbeard will attack us?"

"We don't need any methods, we just need to attack the city forcefully." Hadi sighed softly, "They have a lot of people, as long as they attack in waves, our wall will eventually be broken."

In the face of absolute strength, there is no need for any special tactics, just act step by step.

"Then do we have to lose?" Levi clenched his fists.

"It's okay. We have enough strategic depth." Hadi thought for a while and said, "You should take your men to the rear now and move the residents of the town to the city behind. We will build a strong defense and clear the fields."

Levi was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"When we can no longer resist here, we will immediately retreat to the next city." Hardy said calmly, "Although the Dutch army is strong, their biggest weakness is logistics. It will snow soon. Even if we give up two or three cities, they will retreat because they cannot get enough supplies after the snow. Victory will still belong to us."

Levi thought for a while and said, "I understand."

He didn't want to retreat, because if he did, it would be difficult to regain the territory.

But what Hadi said was the best solution. After all, they don’t have many troops now, so they can only defend the city.

If they were fighting in the wild, their limited military strength would not be enough to defeat them with just one charge from the enemy.

"Then I will go to the rear to relocate the people first!"

After saying that, Levi immediately led his men down the city wall.

It has to be said that the vast majority of people are unwilling to leave their homes.

Levi tried every means of persuasion, even using threats, before the people in the town retreated to the city in the rear.

At this time, the sun was about to set. Levi led two hundred men and quickly rushed back to the Bar Lev Fortress. As soon as he approached, he heard shouts and screams.

He hurriedly led his troops to the city wall and found dead bodies lying everywhere on the wall.

There were pieces and streaks of blood, black, red...it looked like messy graffiti.

Levi led his men to the city wall, helped kill some enemy soldiers, and soon found Hardy.

At this time, there were no enemies around Hardy. He was putting away his sword and looking down at the city wall.

Looks puzzled.

"Sir Hardy, are you okay?" Levi rushed over hurriedly.

Hadi shook his head, his sight still looking towards the enemy camp. At this time, the enemy had retreated.

Levi breathed a sigh of relief, and then he noticed that Hardy looked strange, so he asked, "Did you find any problem?"

"The enemy's actions are strange." Hardy whispered, "It doesn't make sense."

"why?"

"Too hasty." Hadi's eyebrows twisted into a "川" character. "Normally, they should rest for a night and attack the city tomorrow. But they just had a quick lunch and rushed over. This is not wise, and it is not a decision that Gustav should make. It seems too unprofessional."

"Isn't it just right that they are not professional?" Levi smiled excitedly.

"When the enemy takes unexpected actions, you must consider whether they have any tricks up their sleeves. You cannot rely on the enemy's stupidity to win." Hardy pointed to the bodies of the enemies around him and said, "We suffered very few casualties, while these enemies... half are regular troops and half are logistics troops. It feels like they are sent to die."

After hearing this, Levi also felt something was wrong.

"What are they planning?"

Hadi lowered his eyelids in thought. After a while, he asked, "How many priests are there in the rear? They can be priests of the Order pantheon, whether from the Temple of Light or other temples."

“There should be more than a dozen!”

Hadi nodded: "Call them all here to baptize all the dead."

Levi's eyes narrowed, and a look of fear appeared on his face: "Are you afraid... that they will use undead spells?"

"It's possible, so we have to be on guard."

"How dare they? This is a big taboo."

Hardy looked outside the city wall. The sun had already set and the canyon was beginning to grow dark.

In a low-light environment, everything looks like a shadowy monster.

“They may not dare.”

They have already been contaminated by the evil god's aura, so there is nothing they dare not do.

Levi looked at Hardy's serious expression, and immediately turned to his adjutant and said, "Call all the priests from various towns. If they are unwilling to come, let them die."

The adjutant asked quietly, "Isn't this too harsh?"

"Well, they preached in my lord's land and usually took advantage of it. Even the tax revenue was reduced by half. Now the disaster is imminent. If they don't make some efforts, they will never appear in my land again."

When the adjutant heard this, he thought it made sense and immediately took people to do the job.

Hardy said to Levi: "You should also go and rest first. I think we will have a fight tomorrow."

"No, I want to stay here. I want to know the enemy's movements at all times."

"You haven't slept for several months. You can't make up for it with just two or three days of rest." Hardy said in an unquestionable tone, "But I'm different. I've always rested well, and I'm much stronger than you. I have no problem not sleeping for several days and nights."

"But!"

"No buts." Hadi waved his hand: "Just listen to me."

"Yes!"

After hesitating for a while, Levi obeyed Hardy's order and left the city wall.

Hardy leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

He had a feeling that the enemy would launch a surprise attack tonight.

That's why he didn't plan to go to bed.

He seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but in fact he had already spread out his mental power network.

The most powerful ability of the EPR faction is the application of mental power.

The psychic reconnaissance network is a technique that only magicians of the EPR faction can use. (End of this chapter)
