Blessed by abundance, be a Terran curse

The main condition of the contract between the Red Dragon and Aslan was that both parties would rule Victoria together.

But the emperors of various countries have seen that since Aslan came to power, Tara, who represents the red dragon, has been suppressed and has never sat on the throne many times.

They are so dishonest even to their own people, let alone to other countries.

Chapter 241: Unethical? Hurting Victoria but not our Lord Speaker!

"Keep attacking! I want to make the Speaker understand my loyalty."

The Victorian MPs don't care about this or that. The Speaker's orders are absolute and no one can change them.

Since Speaker Huang wants us to stop Ursus, we absolutely cannot let Victoria suffer any loss.

All the parliamentarians present thought so, and when the Usa envoy completely returned to the enemy side, they began to behave like humans.

"Turn all your cannons towards the troops behind you! Hit them hard!"

One member of parliament thought so, but was immediately persuaded by another member of parliament.

"My dear, the Speaker has always been kindhearted. Doing this might damage his reputation. It's inappropriate. Besides, they are all civilians who were forcibly tied to the warship."

From the telescope's view, it can be seen that the number of follower troops following the Ursus high-speed battleship is not small, and the density is extremely high.

One shot could kill at least a hundred people. If it was fired at full speed, and if the enemy didn't run away, it could cause tens of thousands of casualties in just a few hours.

"Brother, did I mention that this order came from the Speaker? We must use the same methods we use to deal with our enemies. Speaker Huang is truly kind and capable. He can handle this matter with just a little bit of thinking."

"But we don't have the brains of the Speaker. These people's lives are certainly important, but compared to the mission that Master Huang is about to accomplish, the lives of the Ursus people are insignificant."

Isn’t it just a few hundred thousand people?

The number of Tara people who died under our command is not just hundreds of thousands, and we have never been so kind-hearted.

"Besides, it's only Victoria's reputation that's hurt. Our Speaker is the leader of Utopia. We must remember this!"

The Victorians present all agreed with what he said and stopped discussing what to do next.

War, no one understands massacre better than the manipulators of war.

Thus, a massacre began.

The number of followers brought by Ursus was simply too large, even several times that of the regular army.

These people have formed a very complete logistics supply system around the high-speed warships.

Unlike the Tsarist army during the First World War in the previous life, this world has advanced technology such as high-speed warships. All supplies can be loaded onto the ship to supply the troops for a long time.

But after all, it is an expeditionary force, so we must save wherever we can.

For example, to provide the most basic fuel supply, the Ursus army still needs to cut down surrounding wood to achieve it around the clock.

However, since Ursus is the most technologically backward among all the major powers, it is considered a victory if the high-speed warships it can barely build can run. It cannot expect to be very fast. Anyway, if it can forcibly conquer a piece of land by relying on its physical fitness, it will be considered a victory.

As for why the emperor personally led the army to fight, wasn’t he afraid of dying outside?

Of course, it was because the emperor of Ursus had no idea about the development of his country.

After all, the speed of information transmission in this world is much slower than in Mr. Huang’s previous life, and it is also more difficult.

We only know how each country has developed roughly, but there are so many tricks within these two words.

So Ursus, who had just joined the battlefield, understood it instantly.

Wow, except for Leithania, the technology of other countries is more advanced than ours.

Ursus is now unable to defeat them with magic, and cannot catch up with them with technology.

We can't really let the internal guards serve as suicide infantry, otherwise we won't be able to use the land we capture.

Moreover, the emperor of Ursus felt that if he retreated now, he would be laughed at by more people, so he had no choice but to continue to bite the bullet and bite off a piece of land.

Its huge entourage ensures the basic living needs of the entire army during the expedition, and at least ensures that every meal has hot food.

But the price of this is that the entourage will be reduced every day due to non-combat activities, probably by dozens of people every day.

Because the nobles need to ensure their meat supply, but the creatures on the land of Terra have never been spineless, and no animal is easy to bully.

Therefore, the decision made by the Victorian parliamentarians was correct. The army has been able to survive until now only thanks to the retaining troops. Once the basic living security is lost, these noble lords will not be able to withstand the pressure of foreign wars.

At the same time, the physical fitness of these soldiers staying inside the high-speed warship is not bad, but they have not experienced the tempering of war in this era.

Because there are only two Ursus high-speed battleships, if you want to quickly occupy other countries' territories, you must take the elite route.

The unique form of warfare on Terra gave this possibility, but Ursus obviously did not fully grasp the direction of the war.

Although Victoria's per capita combat power is not as good as Ursus, its technology makes up for it.

So from the very beginning, Victoria pressed the bear to the ground and rubbed it, and it never raised its head at all.

……

"Old Henry, are you still looking at photos? Are you homesick?"

It was a cold night.

In the army camp, several old men were sitting around a fire, cooking a simple vegetable soup.

"Old Vic, don't you want to? We came here hungry and cold. Although we didn't have enough to eat before, at least we had never been far away from home, so we didn't have to worry about life and death."

"Henry, we never had a choice, but at least we won this time. Each of us can get several gold coins. That's enough. Isn't this what we all wanted?"

"Vic, I'm scared. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. My mother is waiting for me, and my wife and son are waiting for me too. I'm afraid if I die, they'll all starve to death next year."

"But if we don't go, those damn recruiters will make my son go. There's nothing we can do about it."

The two old men stood back to back, the cold wind blowing their tattered cotton coats and their shivering bones.

"Maybe, Vic, at least we can still save our lives now. Victoria and Leitania are fighting against the noble master."

This can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.

But just as they were about to fall asleep, several flames suddenly streaked across the sky.

Before the two old men could react, their pitiful bodies were completely crushed into ashes in the flames.

Just like their snowflake-like fate.

Then came screams, but unfortunately they couldn't hear them.

That night, Ursus's followers experienced what real war was like. The Originium shells fired by Victoria seemed to have eyes and hit the crowd.

When the shells hit the ground, they will instantly burst into a scorching light, producing a huge explosion and impact force.

So less than an hour after Victoria's attack began, the casualties on the Ursus side had exceeded 10,000.

Chapter 242: Oppression cannot change the struggle of life!

The surviving followers wanted to hide inside the high-speed battleship, but when they reached the door, what was waiting for them was the cold light of a knife.

"Do you intend to expose the location of the main ship at night? If so, I will treat you as treason!"

The Ursus officer standing behind the observation window said so.

In fact, the real reason is that they don’t want to let these untouchables in. After all, Victoria’s guns can reach here, so how could she not know the location of the high-speed battleship?

But high-speed warships can run, and they run much faster than ordinary people.

But the Victorians were not fighting against high-speed warships, but against these people who were called untouchables by the Ursus nobles!

How could the noble Ursus nobles allow these ordinary people to enter their warship? What if they soiled the carpet?

Countless Ursus people were blown into pieces by artillery shells, and they didn't even have a place to hide on the vast plain.

Death goes with them, and pain is with them.

One night passed, and the true bloodiness and cruelty of war were thoroughly displayed in front of all the accompanying troops.

After the attack, officers who had been hiding inside the high-speed warship came out to clean up the bodies.

No, they naturally would not clean up the corpses, but would gather the remnants of the defeated soldiers who survived the night, and find out the disabled and unable to walk followers.

The ground was littered with corpses and blood, and there was not even a place to step.

The wails of humans and the smell of Originium mixed together, and several soldiers wearing gas masks and holding long swords walked out from the interior of the high-speed battleship.

It was clear from their outward posture that they were not here to save us.

With a "Puff", a wounded soldier who was still screaming was directly cut in the neck by the long knife.

"Useless waste, you can only blame it on bad luck."

A soldier in a gas mask said.

Do you really think the nobles of Ursus would treat these gray animals as human beings?

It's just a wild idea. After these people are gone, we can just replenish them with another batch. It's no big deal.

For the nobles of Ursus, the medicines on the warships are limited, but the untouchables below are endless. If these die, the country will send more followers.

Even Victoria, who is not a human being, finds this hard to imagine.

Even the Victorians who fired the cannon couldn't help but exclaim: "Aren't they afraid of a mutiny in the army?"

Although Victoria has always been a bad person, she will at least do something when it comes to her assets. If these people really cause trouble, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

But compared to Ursus's actions, Victoria was still too merciful.

The Victorian ideals of this world are based on interests, and interests are paramount in everything they do.

But this is not the case for Ursus, because they had a better way to preserve their manpower last night.

This would have avoided unnecessary waste of resources, but unfortunately, they chose the ruthless and least cost-effective method.

When the accompanying soldiers saw their struggling comrades being stabbed to death by officers from their own country, they all showed expressions of fear.

"It's a pity, it's unfortunate, this is war."

The officer did not wipe the blood from his long knife and continued to search for more wounded people.

The Victorians' plan failed. They wanted to use this method to deplete the Ursus expeditionary force's medicines and other resources.

One wounded person can drag down at least two normal people, and even precious medicines have to be supplied to these people who cannot participate in the battle.

You have to know that the Ursus army is an expeditionary force and basically has no logistical supplies. If it cannot occupy new land, it will just be eating up all the resources.

The following night, Victoria was able to continue firing at the rearguard troops.

Sympathy is sympathy, but it is still too unrealistic to expect this group of inhuman people to be kind enough to abandon their own interests to save this group of followers.

This period was undoubtedly a nightmare for the Ursus people who were serving in the military camp.

However, the nobles inside the high-speed battleship would not lower their living standards because of the attack they suffered, so they were forced to stay beside the high-speed battleship.

This went on until three days later.

Finally, one of the followers couldn't bear it anymore. He shouted and danced, and finally ran into the woods like a madman and never came back.

This man was later undoubtedly treated as a traitor, but no one caught him.

But when the Ursus officer wanted to ask this man's name, after walking around the military camp, he found that no one was willing to say or remember his name.

"Oh my god, this is absolutely vicious! Where are the people who manage the retinue?!"

The officer did not dare to call out loudly, but saw a general with a very out-of-shape figure walking out of the cabin of the high-speed battleship.

"General..."

"You will stay here tonight, eat and sleep with these untouchables, and you can leave only after this matter is resolved!"

The officer didn't dare to speak, he could only smile and quickly find someone who could solve the problem.

"Where is the person in charge of the military list? Get out here right now!"

"Your Excellency, that man was killed by the Victorians last night, and his legs are buried at your feet."

"It's really unlucky..."

The officer holding the long sword curled his lips and did not intend to pursue the deserter any further. He just warned the people present.

"Don't have any tricks. I have a backup of your list. Don't run away, or your entire family will be convicted of treason and sent to work in the mines!"

In fact, there is no such thing as a list. The world is just a huge makeshift team.
