Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Chapter 216 Winter

The demons had a hard time fighting this battle, but the situation on the gray-collar side was not much better.

The First Army and the Third Army are the real main force, but now they have suffered heavy losses, with many casualties and even more injuries. Although they can be completely healed with holy water and high-level potions, it will be difficult to restore their combat effectiveness in a short time.

Now they are mainly relying on the part of the Second Army that has arrived, plus Lind's Guards Corps, which are struggling to hold on.

Because there were too many injured people, there was a shortage of manpower in the position, but fortunately, there was a steady supply of support and new artillery, which helped the gray-collar workers withstand the pressure.

But the most difficult thing to deal with were the monsters on the other side, which were completely tireless and attacked day and night. This tactic that completely ignored the laws of biology made the gray-collar workers suffer a lot.

After all, humans cannot fight continuously for a long time day and night like these monsters. People still need to rest. Although they can fight continuously without rest for a short period of time, that certainly cannot be used as a long-term combat strategy. It is an overdraft for both soldiers and morale.

Of course, Lind has made enough optimizations, ensuring sufficient combat effectiveness on the front battlefield while giving each soldier four to six hours of rest time.

With some minor rest time, at least the situation can be maintained for now.

"Hasn't the new batch of weapons arrived yet?"

Inside the tent, Lind urged on while handling logistical matters.

"We are already urging them to do so. We estimate that by the time the railway is built to our rear, a new batch of weapons will be delivered."

Lucanus reported while handing the latest intelligence to Lind.

After taking a look, Lind let out a long sigh. This was the first time that Lind had been on the front line of such a large-scale war, and the first time that he had watched the tragic battlefield at such a close distance.

They are still facing monsters that are so distorted that they look like mythical creatures.

To be honest, when Lind first arrived at the battlefield to boost morale, he inevitably felt nauseous and vomited when he saw the tragic scenes on the battlefield. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. It was also the first time that Lind understood that the battlefield meat grinder was not an adjective, but a statement of fact.

But then Lind quickly became numb. After all, he didn't have that much time to be sad.

Precisely because they were on the front line, Lind was more certain about what kind of weapons were needed on the front battlefield. With Lena's cooperation, the couple managed to produce a prototype weapon on the front line and sent it back to Gray Collar for mass production.

Although many tactics require Linde's approval, Linde really just nods in this regard. Leaving professional matters to professionals is the principle that Linde has always adhered to, especially in such critical situations.

Lind mainly helped maintain morale and order within the position, as well as handled internal affairs behind the Golden Ear Plains.

Although saying this may seem a bit disrespectful to Doug, it is also true that Linde had been holding back when facing Doug before. With the intervention of the army, the territory in the rear has been completely controlled by Linde, and all the people in the territory have been pulled out to be responsible for the engineering construction in the rear.

The original speed of military facility construction was not the full strength of the gray-collar workers. Now the speed of railway construction in the rear area can’t be said to be rapid, but it can be said to have been greatly accelerated.

Military railways highlight a simplicity and durability, and these railways will soon show their true value in this world. This battle will also be the first demonstration of the role of railways in warfare. When the railways are completely connected to the Golden Ear Plains, the counterattack will begin.

After arranging the plan, Lind stamped his wax seal on several envelopes and handed them to Lucanus. Among them were not only plans for the rear territory, but also letters to Sean, the gray-collar worker in charge. As long as Lind continued to write letters to Sean, then with Lind's prestige, the scoundrels in the rear would not dare to move.

Sean also wrote back to Lind, saying that everything was fine in Gray Collar. Although some rumors had spread to Gray Collar, the Golden Ear Plain had not been breached after all, and the people who spread the rumors were all soldiers of the Doug Army, who had no credibility at all, so they did not cause any trouble.

Although everything was fine without Lind in charge, Sean mentioned in his reply that some changes might have happened in the capital. Her Majesty the Queen had written several letters to Lind, but because Her Majesty the Queen had no channels, these letters could only be forwarded to Lind by Sean, which took some time on the way.

Lind opened the letters one by one and read them carefully, but finally put them down reluctantly and picked up a pen to write a letter to his sister.

Her Majesty the Queen may be under a lot of pressure recently. Although it was not explicitly stated in the letter, Lind guessed that the war with the Kingdom of Anjou broke out again on the southwestern border, and the result was not very good, which had a slight impact on the majesty of Her Majesty the Queen.

The King of Anjou is definitely not a fool who would just passively take a beating. A normal war is definitely a process of mutual learning. Maybe the other party's firearms research and development has surpassed the level of the royal capital's own research and development, so they will start the war again.

However, the situation should not be that bad. At least Her Majesty the Queen can still control the royal capital, and her request for help is not that urgent. She is more asking about the specific situation of the battle in the Golden Spike Plains.

After all, it is well known that Her Majesty the Queen does not like the demons very much. If the demons defeat the gray-collar workers, then those people in the royal capital who are secretly colluding with the demons will have to start taking action.

Lind could feel that not only the capital, but perhaps other forces in the world were already paying attention to this war. From the letters sent from various channels collected by Lucanus, it could be seen that everyone was waiting for the outcome of this war, but no one dared to act rashly.

After thinking for a while, Lind decided to increase the strength of Her Majesty the Queen. After all, Her Majesty the Queen has become more and more majestic recently. The main reason is that the Augustines have become completely silent for some reason.

Since Augustine and others were unwilling to do anything, Linde had to do the work for his sister himself.

As for whether the situation in the capital would become more and more chaotic? From the moment the magic train was put into actual combat, the situation and attitude of the capital were no longer very important. The time was almost up, and the seeds of chaos could be sown in the capital in advance.

After writing his reply to the queen, Lind put on his cloak and walked out of the tent.

The Sisters did not enter the battlefield directly. Although they wanted to, Lind decided to wait until the new equipment was delivered. After all, what they lacked more now was military doctors.

So now the Sisters are in charge of the field hospital in the position.

And Lena was discussing with Isa where there were areas for improvement in the new weapons against these demon descendants.

The generals were busy commanding the soldiers to go out for defense, and the sound of artillery had become part of the entire position.

Tia has already followed the elven druids back. They seem to have found some clues about these monsters, so they have to go back to the Gog Empire first.

Under the protection of his guards, Lind climbed up the newly built watchtower and looked at the battlefield not far away. Red and black blood had soaked the ground, and corpses were piled up in a haphazard manner, some of which were torn beyond shape.

Every inch of land that originally symbolized a good harvest is witnessing this massacre. The mottled bloodstains are like the last struggle of life. The corpses of humans and monsters on the battlefield are intertwined into a tragic feast of flesh and blood.

Fortunately, every soldier carried holy water, otherwise these corpses would be the best food for those monsters.

But the holy water brought this time was still too little, or the strength of the demon support far exceeded Lind's imagination. Now they can only wait for the next wave of supplies after the railway is connected. Lind looked at the soldiers in the position with great heartache. These were all living people, and according to Lucanus's information, the next wave of support from the demons was already on the way.

This tug-of-war will continue for some time.

However, Linde also understood the principle that a kind person cannot command an army. If he really felt sorry for these soldiers, he might as well find an opportunity to counterattack and completely eliminate these monsters of the demon clan.

Lind stretched his hand out of the watchtower, caught the snowflakes falling from the gray sky, and clenched his fist.

It's winter.
