Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

A snow-white figure moved freely among the black locust swarms, and the fighting spirit wrapped around her body shone brightly.

This posture is like a god of war, inspiring the morale of the surrounding soldiers.

"Long live Lady Eva!"

Whoosh! Another wave of arrows ended the attack of this wave of locusts. There were more than 800 casualties this time. Relying on the city wall and terrain, about locust monsters were eliminated.

If this was a battle against humans, it would be worthy of a good celebration, but in the face of nearly endless locusts, there is no time for a celebration banquet.

Now we just have to wait for the good news that Gerald brings back, Eva thought.

roar~

A low-altitude dragon roar reached Eva's ears, making her even more excited. She couldn't wait to go over to welcome the return of the warrior, but she only saw him alone.

"What's going on? Your Highness refuses to send Griffin Knights for reinforcements?" Eva asked anxiously.

"There may be no more Griffin Knights," Gerald said expressionlessly.

He also thought about the possibility of His Highness Rodney deceiving him, but the price of deceiving a high knight by directly stripping him of his general title in public would be too high.

"General, prepare to evacuate. His Highness's defense line to the east cannot be defended. Let the civilians retreat quickly. We must also prepare to evacuate."

"Evacuating the defense line in wartime is a serious crime!"

"If we don't retreat, we will be flanked by two sides! General, do you want so many brothers to die here?"

Eva looked at the soldiers who had just finished the bloody battle. They were very exhausted physically and mentally. There were still many wounded waiting for treatment. These people were all soldiers who had been with her for several years. They had been with her since the Goblin invasion. Just stay here.

Seeing this, Eva also took a step back and said: "I will write a letter to my father, hoping that he can persuade His Majesty the Emperor to order a retreat."

"Thank you, General"

Eva and her father Lischel had always communicated through magical letters. Eva immediately wrote a letter to her father after returning to the military tent, hoping that he could keep his soldiers alive.

In this world, this kind of behavior is generally not considered to be someone trying to retreat because he wants to save his life, because the locusts are just a group of low-level monsters and will not threaten the big knight at all. The big knight can leave whenever he wants and it is impossible to stop them.

Eva's father, Lischel, is the commander of the Fifth Legion of the Central Army of the Stephen Empire. His personal strength is also at the level of a great knight. Although he is almost over 50 years old, this can be said to be in the prime of life for a knight.

Only half a day later, Lischel received a letter from his daughter. He doted on his daughter very much. He only had two sons and this daughter. He originally wanted to hold her in his hands and pamper her, but this child refused to admit defeat.

Seeing her two brothers practicing swordsmanship, she also wanted to learn. Lisiel did not agree to this at the time, but she did not expect that this little guy would secretly learn it on his own.

Lisiel himself did not expect that his daughter was so powerful. She was born to be a knight. At the age of ten, she had surpassed her two brothers and became an intermediate knight.

When I saw the letter this time, of course I wouldn't think that my daughter, who was so strong, would want to run away. It was indeed analyzed in a real way that she could no longer defend her.

He immediately reported the information to Emperor Albert. Unexpectedly, Albert said:

"My dear, there is one thing you don't know. I am going to attend a banquet soon. Do you know what this banquet is?"

"I don't know"

"Prime Minister Moluozi, come and explain to him."

Mo Luozi, who had been by the emperor's side, said slowly:

"Ten days later, Wu Xiangyu, the grand elder of the Wu Group, will be released from seclusion. This banquet is to welcome Wu Xiangyu and wash away his dust. Rulers from every country will attend, including His Majesty."

"And at this banquet, the Wu Group will bring out the latest weapons and distribute them to various countries. The most powerful country should distribute the best weapons."

"But look at it now. Because the Alliance first lost a large amount of land in the south, monsters multiplied and multiplied on it, and it has not been taken back yet. We have also failed to deal with that newly emerged country. In the face of the invasion of locust monsters, if we continue If you back down, your Majesty will really have no face at the banquet."

Lischel wanted to say something else, but couldn't. In recent years, the empire had really not won a single victory.

Albert said: "My dear, now you understand, for the future of the empire, we must not retreat this time. Don't forget, my son is also on the front line."

"I understand, Your Majesty."

That night, Eva received a reply from her father. After reading it, she sighed: "Hey, there are so many military orders."

"General, are you not allowed to retreat?"

"Take a look"

Eva will reply to Gerald, and he will be very surprised after reading it:

"Just for the sake of face, you actually have to sacrifice all the defenders, don't you even care about your own son?"

"Stop talking, Gerald. We just need to execute the order. When reinforcements arrive, everything will get better."

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements! I don't know where the reinforcements are yet!"

While he was talking, the sun on the horizon seemed to be blocked by something. Eva looked at the exhausted soldiers and couldn't help but shake her head.

"The monsters are coming! Prepare for battle!"

……

The headquarters of Wu Group is located in a mountain peak. This mountain is 5000 meters high. The headquarters is on the mountainside 3000 meters away. What is incredible is that this mountain is actually man-made.

Grand Elder Wu Xiangyu was a brave man a hundred years ago and was proficient in all spells. This mountain was created by earth and metal spells. In order to build this mountain, Wu Xiangyu spent three years. The rockery was bare at that time. , has now become a real mountain.

Now, almost all the big shots in the Wu Group are gathered on the top of the mountain. Today is the day for their elder to leave seclusion.

This retreat lasted for 16 years. 16 years ago, the Grand Elder said that the crisis was about to come down again. He needed to practice in retreat to see if he could break through to the true fairyland, which is the level of a great magician. In other words, he wanted to become a god.

Not only that, he will also develop new weapons during his retreat to enhance the overall strength of the Human Alliance.

Creak -, the door slowly opened, and an old man in white clothes and a white beard walked out, stroking his beard with one hand, and pulling a very exquisite... trailer with the other hand.

The whole person looks quite immortal.

"Congratulations to the Grand Elder for coming out of seclusion!"

Everyone outside knelt down and saluted with fists in their hands. The scene was very shocking.

Wu Xiangyu slowly raised his hand: "Everyone, get up."

His eldest son Wu Xian first came forward to greet him: "Father, we have prepared a reception banquet for you. Let's have a meal first."

Wu Xiangyu, who had not seen the sun for sixteen years, spread his arms and bathed in the sun. Then he took a deep breath of fresh air.

"Huh~, um~"

"Let's go!"

Everyone: "The Grand Elder invites you!"
