The barrage said, I am the final villain in the game

Chapter 288 The Bandit Who Abandoned Glory

"Damn it damn it!!"

In the room, Duke Christine knocked on the table angrily.

Although he had already guessed that the current situation on his side would easily attract sneak attacks from behind, he never expected that the first place to suffer on his side was actually the granary.

If it was a place like the arsenal, he would not be so anxious and angry. After all, everyone is fully armed now, and the speed of weapon damage will not be too fast, so even if the arsenal is destroyed for a while What happens.

But the granary is different.

It represents the logistics of the entire force, and the hope of the army and civilians.

This fire will definitely make everyone in the territory worry about their future.

You don't even have to eat, so why fight!
Now we have rescued some of the remaining food, and with the storage in other places, there is a lot of it, but it is still difficult to supply it to the entire territory.

Moreover, it is almost foreseeable that the people in the territory will definitely try their best to snatch the remaining food - if it is not good for you to take care of it, then we will do it ourselves.

The Duke gritted his teeth, leaned on the table panting, trying to use his brain to come up with some solutions.

But at this moment, how difficult is it to buy a large amount of food, and do they have so much money to fill this hole?
But if we don't mend the holes, how can we appease the anxious people?How can the troops gather cohesion to fight?

Taking a deep breath, Duke Christine felt that it was time for him to make a decision.

Now their first task is by no means to find the murderer to give everyone an explanation, because even if they find them, they will have no way to conjure the burned food.

The first thing to do is to divert everyone's attention from this aspect, so that people's hearts cannot continue to become more panicky due to the prolongation of time, and they must pay attention to the most important crisis in front of them.

Only in this way can they bring up their last strength and fight for themselves.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief, and Duke Christine's eyes gradually became colder.

Outside Fanhua Ridge, Lin En frowned slightly as he looked at the large group of people who had no way to hide their tracks in the distance.

"What is this for?"

Judging from the opponent's actions, they seem to be preparing to go out and attack a certain place, but Karan's troops are not moving too fast, and it will take a little time to get here. If they go to meet the enemy now, it seems Kind of unnecessary.

But if it wasn't for fighting, what was the purpose of so many people's actions?
Looking at that menacing appearance, it doesn't seem like he is going to move to escape?
After a little thought, Lynn decided to have someone quietly follow him to find out information.

But soon, the spies returned.

"They scattered, and I couldn't track everyone's news. The only thing I'm sure of is that they didn't rush to the center of the battlefield, but went deep into the kingdom."

"Deep in the kingdom. Could it be that they think they have nothing to do and want to attack Catalina?"

When this idea surfaced, Lynn himself felt a little funny.

As long as the front line is not defeated like a mountain, the defense of the capital will always be the most stringent garrison. It is really unrealistic for Christine to break through the capital.

Since it wasn't a surprise attack, what were these people doing for it?

Vaguely, a flash of light flashed in Lin En's mind.

"Those guys, are they going to become robbers?" He murmured, frowning slightly.

This is not unreasonable speculation, but something that is very likely to happen.

Because of the lack of food, their war potential will definitely be reduced to a very slim level. If they want to continue to participate in this competition, they must expand their supplies.

However, the current method of purchasing supplies is obviously not feasible. As a third-party force, Christine cannot purchase food from the other two parties, and there is no other fourth force in the kingdom that is capable of crossing over the other two to fight with them. Trade, so they can only be self-sufficient.

Now self-sufficiency is impossible, so if you want to get food, you have to grab it.

As the saying goes, neighbors store grain and I store knives. Although Fanhua Ridge is not a good place, the overall terrain of the Rhine is still mostly plains, and there are many areas that are mainly farmland on its side. In addition, the frontline troops of the Kingdom are currently tight. The defense in the town is inevitably a little weak.

Christine dispersed his troops, most likely in the hope of penetrating the line of defense and occupying supply points through these weak points.

The reason why Lynn said this is very possible is because the probability of its success is not small.

Because Kristen had a really good moment.

The front-line soldiers were in short supply, so the royal family had to take back some troops stationed on the relatively weak Christian border and send them to the front line, and these vacancies would be filled by Karan's people.

But this exchange will not be too perfect in terms of timing.

The royal family's troops were withdrawn, and it took Karan's men at least three days to arrive, and this period of time was the time when Christine's defense was weakest.

According to the normal situation, this is nothing, because none of the parties thinks that Christine will launch an attack on a place that at least "looks" stronger than them when intelligence is scarce.

Unexpectedly, Lin En's fire burned their hope and ignited their last gunpowder.

In the next three days, Christine indeed successfully discovered the vacancy in the front line, easily broke through the encirclement net, and got into the interior of the kingdom.

When Karan's troops arrived, they had already left their original place and began to rattle deeper into the kingdom.

At this time, they are no longer nobles, because what they have passed is burning, killing and looting after the shackles of sin have been completely loosened, and burning and destroying everything that cannot be taken away, and will never leave a trace for the pursuers .

Even though Fanhua Ridge was easily captured, they did not look back.

No one thought that the surname that once represented glory has now completely become a heinous mountain bandit. The knights who once believed in glory trampled on the bones of ordinary people without any scruples.

After receiving the news, Corinna sat in the gazebo in the garden and said blankly.

"I'm starting to despise the surname."

Charlotte huddled into a ball and shivered: "These people are terrible."

"Humans who have no way out, that's how it is." Lin En sighed slightly, "But I didn't expect that it would cause such a result."

"Originally, in my opinion, after the fire passed, they should have fallen into civil strife for the remaining food, but the leading duke resolved the problem in such a way."

"No wonder you." Corinna's eyes drooped slightly. "This is something that no nobleman who is a little bit proud of his surname can do. It can only be said that they are already desperate for their own survival."

"Well, let's see how the follow-up develops." Lin En said helplessly, "Those guys have gradually penetrated into the hinterland of the kingdom. If they don't solve it quickly, the consequences may be unimaginable."

Letting a force with no moral concepts mess around in its own hinterland, no one knows that this will not be a good phenomenon for the frontline war.

Think about it, I was working desperately in front of me, but I suddenly received a message that my home was gone. How could I still have the will to fight?

I was risking my life for the country, but the country failed to protect my family?
For most people, their loyalty to the kingdom is definitely not as high as their loyalty to themselves. When their family is damaged, the reason is that the kingdom is too exhausted to protect it and let others make trouble. It will be somewhat difficult for them to fight.

Therefore, the royal family will definitely try their best to block the news and send people to clear up the chaos.

In the next period of time, the royal family's settlement of Christine's payment is not very slow. After all, the Rhine as a whole is mostly plains rather than mountains, so there is no way to fight guerrilla warfare, and the efficiency is not bad.

However, the problem is that it is difficult to hide such a big action from other people's eyes.

The rebels, soon got the news.

Therefore, on some front lines where the war was temporarily suspended, the rebels always shouted at each other through the air with a loudspeaker.

"Hurry up and go home and have a look, your mother is gone! Your wife ran away with someone! Your child was taken away!!"

For such a shout, at the beginning, almost everyone scoffed at it, and even used a loudspeaker to scold each other.

But when the timeline is stretched, some small accidents inevitably appear.

In order to improve one's will to fight, in the past, the army would distribute letters from family members every once in a while, but recently, this situation suddenly disappeared.

So recently, the fact that no one can receive letters from home has gradually aroused doubts among the soldiers.

Under the premise of the other party shouting like this, the lack of information can easily make them fantasize about something and become uneasy.

Fortunately, the army began to send letters to the family again.

The worries of most of them gradually dissipated.

However, the good times did not last long.

From nowhere, the rebels gathered lists of some of the towns that had been destroyed and investigated those who died.

Then, based on some clues, they guessed which army the other party joined, and then called out the names of those soldiers during the temporary truce, and told them that their families had died due to the royal family's inaction, and even The time is clear.

Although the boss tried his best to deny it and angrily denounced the opponent's inferior tactics, some people still had doubts about it.

Because what they said was so detailed that even a few members of their own family could explain it clearly.

Under normal circumstances, who would have nothing to do to investigate a soldier's family?

But looking at their family letter of embracing peace, they felt that the other party was really lying and wanted to break their will.

At this time, another accident happened.

In the Rhine Kingdom, in some small towns and small towns, the literacy rate of ordinary people is not high. Their family letters are all written by someone else, and then they find someone to read the literal meaning on their behalf.

After the soldiers received letters from home, they would look for those who were literate in the army to help them tell how they missed him at home, and then they would treasure these letters.

Generally speaking, this family letter is rarely seen by outsiders. After all, how can I share my family's thoughts with others, and I enjoy it alone.

But when these things happened, some of the soldiers began to doubt the authenticity of the family letter, and everyone took out a pair.

Good guy, why are there so many similarities in these family notes?
Although everyone does not know the characters, it is still possible to find the difference when facing the same character.

So the soldiers became angry, especially those whose names were called by the opposite side. They rushed into the chief's camp, wanting to ask for an explanation.

Although these officers tried their best to shirk, the collapse of the army's morale has already become a fact.

This turmoil caused the Rhine royal family to lose about three-sevenths of their territory. It was not until Christine was completely wiped out that they were able to stabilize the front slightly and prevent further advances.

But after this man-made disaster, the royal family has gradually shown a somewhat tired attitude towards the war. It no longer prevents the manpower from continuing to push forward, and only cares about maintaining the current territory.

Standing in the courtyard, Charlotte reached out to catch the snowflakes and gently crushed them with her fingertips.

Turning her head, she looked at Lin En's side face which was warmed yellow by the glow of the fire, and asked in a low voice, "How long will the war be over?"

"Probably soon?" Lynn said uncertainly, "According to the current situation, the kingdom probably doesn't have much strength to deal with them, and the Rhine is very cold in winter, no one wants to go to war at this time."

"After the beginning of spring, there should be a decisive battle between the recuperating and recuperating sides. At that time, it will be the moment to truly witness the outcome."

"Hey." Charlotte sighed rarely, and asked with a sad face, "Why don't those particularly powerful people, like the captain of the knights, not take action?"

"If they can go to the battlefield, they will definitely be able to fight against a thousand and turn the tide of the battle."

Lynn smiled and said, "Because, I can't."

"Those people are titled beings, and the prerequisite for obtaining the title is to swear an oath to His Majesty who represents the gods. In the oath, there is such a sentence as 'do not swing the blade at the weak, otherwise you will lose the great blessing'."

"So, they can't go to the battlefield, and those who can go to the battlefield have already gone to the battlefield."

"Is that so?" Charlotte curled up her legs and put her head on her knees, "Speaking of which, in the battle report, the number of casualties of those people on the opposite side always seems to be higher than ours, but why do they never seem to It's like venting."

Reflecting on some of the messages, Lynn said, "Because they were people driven by faith."

"Belief?"

"Yes, faith." Lynn explained, "According to reports, they are all soldiers who believe in the same god, just like the Knights, but their beliefs are more in line with the goddess's 'great justice'. Their own inner thoughts are easier to spread and get recognized."

"In history, soldiers with firm beliefs have always been more difficult to deal with than ordinary soldiers."

"Is that so?" Charlotte suddenly became worried, "Then, can we win?"

Lynn was silent for a moment, trying to ask what kind of "we" she was referring to.

But in the end, he chose to change the subject: "Do you want to go back to Catalina?"

Charlotte bit her lip slightly and nodded silently.

"Um"

Lin En looked at the sky, and the sky and the earth were full of heavy snow at the moment.

"almost."

he whispered.

"When this battle is about to end, you can go back."

"And yes, a glorious triumph."
