I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 76 Cruel Battlefield
What are Chris and the Chapter Masters talking about?
Nothing to talk about, just something very simple and easy to understand.

"I will lead the troops to retreat and wait for the right time to advance. I will not be involved in whether or not Bolas Fortress can be captured, or how it is captured."

Chris said this to the four players.

"This campaign will last for a month, and the rewards for the mission will be determined based on your battle results.

The sole purpose of the battle is to capture Bolas Fortress, to control it, so that we have enough space to continue to survive and to accept and accommodate more refugees and hungry people."

After saying that, Chris stopped talking and nodded to the four people.

"Anything else you want to ask?"

Lin Ruoyu turned his head and looked at the other three people. He turned around and was the first to stand up.

"In one month, what level do you expect us to achieve?"

"Do whatever you can. Use your abilities and imagination. Attack anyone you want. I just want Bolas Fortress and those poor people who were captured alive."

Chris hesitated for a moment.

"In addition, I have another mission. I hope someone can leave here and go to other places to see if the war has displaced people and created a lot of refugees. If so, bring them back.

Or you could come back and bring food with you to prevent as many people from starving to death as possible."

"The people from the Mountain Tiger Regiment might want to leave here and look somewhere else."

Xiaodao Pi's Butt was the first to express his opinion.

"I will personally lead some of my trusted followers to attack Bolas Fortress. As for the other members... well, I can't control their behavior."

"At least don't commit murder, burning, and looting, and dishonor the double-headed eagle flag."

"Ah, that won't happen. If there were, I would definitely kill that idiot myself."

Chris was very satisfied with Xiaodao's promise to stab his butt. That was great. He was indeed an old player of the Protectorate. He had high personal morals and awareness and was trustworthy.

Chris looked at Lin Ruoyu, who shrugged.

"Most of our members are mercenaries. We won't blindly rush into battle."

Well, the Ultramarines Chapter is pretty clear.

As for the other two captains, Chris looked at them and felt that these two guys had no reputation and there was no need to treat them well.

So, Chris nodded to everyone, stood up and left the tent, leaving space for the four people so that they could discuss the distribution of tasks, or simply work on their own.

Chris doesn't care what the players want to do or what they can do. He trusts these guys' abilities very much, and Bolas Fortress will soon be his.

Chris trusts the players like a fish trusts the current.

Isaac, who was outside the tent, saw Chris coming out and he walked quickly forward. This time Mia did not stop him. She turned around and jumped on Elsa, and disappeared behind the tent in an instant amid the pig's grunts.

"Your Highness, I have something to do..."

"I have something to tell you too. Break camp now and let's retreat and find a new, secluded and safe place to camp. The battlefield is fifteen kilometers ahead, and it's not safe here anymore."

"what?"

... Wearing bright silver plate armor and a high-crowned red-feathered helmet, Field rode a horse and stood on the edge of the battlefield, looking proudly at the armored soldiers of the Restoration Army lined up in neat square formations, marching slowly forward with terrifying footsteps.

The two heavy bronze stone-shooting cannons displayed on both sides of the two large infantry phalanxes were roaring continuously, firing stone shells as big as a human face at the fortress's first line of defense... the trenches and earth walls.

The wooden and earthen walls, originally designed to defend against small and medium-caliber firearms, were as vulnerable to the huge stone shells flying in an arc as wheat straw facing a farmer's sickle.

As long as the stone cannonballs bouncing on the ground hit the earth wall, it would inevitably create an explosion of wood chips and broken soil flying everywhere, and the earth wall would collapse, leaving a gap for the knight to pass through.

Fortunately, this formidable stone-throwing cannon did not have a fast firing rate, and since it was designed to attack the artillery of the knight's castle, its accuracy against an earth wall was somewhat questionable.

These two heavy stone-throwing cannons could only be fired once every ten to thirty minutes. Although their range was as high as one thousand meters, after the artillerymen pushed them to a distance of only five hundred meters from the earth wall, only one out of ten shots could hit the earth wall.

Therefore, after bombarding for a whole morning, these two stone-throwing cannons only created two gaps in the two-kilometer-long earth wall.

Sergeant Monte, who was standing behind the earth wall and holding a heavy musket, was very satisfied with the result and felt that it was acceptable.

He even spat on the ground to express his disdain for the soldiers of the Restoration Army who were forming a large square formation and advancing slowly.

"Here they come, brothers, get ready, those gray-robed bastards are coming."

The eight Minissian volunteers standing behind Sergeant Major Monte nervously stood up from the ground and subconsciously formed a neat line.

They were all professional soldiers from the standing army of the Kingdom of Minisia. They had been trained for a long time and had recently seen blood and killed people. In theory, they were all elite veterans of the kingdom.

Because in the country, there are still many standing troops that have not experienced actual combat.

However, this was the first time they were engaging in face-to-face combat with the noble private army of the Bagnian Restoration Army.

They couldn't help but be nervous.

"Brothers, quickly form a formation."

Sergeant Major Monte gave his orders to his men in a calm and composed tone as best he could.

"Don't be afraid. There's a ditch ahead where brothers with swords and shields are hiding. There are also many free country bumpkins waiting to be stabbed. Those gray dogs will definitely not be able to cross this line today."

Sergeant Monte's poor speech did have some effect, as at least two of the eight soldiers smiled.

"Quickly step forward, set up your muskets, light the matches, and load the lead bullets. No one should fire until the commander gives the order."

Sergeant Monte used plain language and personally made preparations, asking everyone to come forward and stand in the firing position behind the earth wall.

At this moment, the sound of artillery came from a distance, and a stone shell bounced from the front, then plunged into the earth wall ten meters to the left of Sergeant Monte's squad.

Amidst the violent noises and vibrations, Sergeant Major Monte heard a howl of extreme fear coming from behind him, the man screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Mom, mom, I want to go home, I want to go home..."

Accompanied by this wailing sound that would make any normal person feel sympathy, a man rushed out of the simple earthen hut and ran towards the forest 300 meters away on the side.

Then, before he could run a few steps, the poor man was knocked down by a crossbow arrow chasing him from behind. Then soldiers with long swords rushed into the wooden shed and started killing... This is the rule, if one person escapes, nine people will die.
