The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Chapter 354 Rewards based on merit

The invaders' sneak attack at night was quickly reported by Tenk to the third-level magician Tanus, the president of the Dia Kingdom. After Tanus inquired about the details of what happened, he didn't say anything, but just asked Tenk to increase vigilance. Later, he also issued an order to strengthen the vigilance to the garrison in the area responsible for the Dia Kingdom.

Then they reported last night's situation to the coalition forces. They were very angry about the invaders' shameful night attack, but they were currently on the defensive, and they did not dare to launch a night attack as well. They could only hope to make the other side retreat through fighting during the day.

They also sent people to urge for reinforcements from farther places, but there is no latest news yet. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they still hope to resist the invaders together with the coalition forces of human kingdoms and other races, and do not want to "trouble" the dead in Voltalin.

Moreover, there are disputes in the border area with Voltalin, so it is quite difficult to get them to help resist the invaders.

Tenk didn't care about what the coalition leaders thought, but after counting the rare casualties yesterday, he found that although they killed nearly four thousand enemies on the opposite side, many of their own people died. If it weren't for the support of friendly forces, most of their three thousand people would have been killed. Even now, more than half of them have been killed, with only more than 1300 people left.

The missing personnel could not be replenished in a short time. The next battle arrangement was to be considered by the Allied Command. What Tyenk was thinking more about was to establish a smooth command system among the limited 1300 people, because not only too many low-level sergeants died, but also many officers.

Tynek also made arrangements for Colin and the captain who had "made contributions" last night. Although the captain was frightened all night and did not play much of a role, Tynek was not aware that the captain had fallen asleep during patrol, and still promoted him.

The captain was promoted directly from squadron leader to squadron leader. He originally led a team of 20 people. After being promoted to squadron leader, he was supposed to lead 5 squads with 100 people, but now the number of people is even smaller, only 18 people.

He originally thought that Colin, whom he relied on, would be promoted to be a squadron leader under him, but Lord Tynk promoted Colin to the level of squadron leader as well, and the number of people he led was also more than his own, reaching 46.

He was somewhat grateful to Colin at first. Without Colin, he might have died, and he was promoted. But when he saw that Colin had become a squadron leader like himself and was leading a squadron of more than 40 people, he couldn't help feeling unwilling.

But he didn't know that Colin had killed 5 enemies in the past two days, while he didn't get any. If Tenk hadn't suspected Colin and promoted him to team leader beforehand, he would have had nothing to do with it.

Colin is satisfied with his current position. Being promoted too high all of a sudden would not suit his idea of ​​keeping a low profile. As an undercover agent, he would be easily exposed if he was too high-profile.

But this was just his idea. For the city guards of Cambrian, Colin was undoubtedly a rising military star.

In peacetime, it is extremely difficult to get promoted. Even in wartime, it is difficult to get promoted without opportunities to make meritorious services. It is indeed not easy for Colin to be promoted directly to squadron leader, bypassing the team leader. Except for the former captain who was reluctant to come over, most of the squadron leaders came to congratulate him.

After Colin had been playing nice with them for a while, he finally got rid of this group of people. The next step was to hold out until the end of the war and get promoted.

According to the organization of the Dia Kingdom, a city's city guard has a commander who is in charge of several battalions. However, a battalion usually consists of 1 squadrons, and a squadron consists of 5 squads.

The strength Colin has revealed now is not enough to be promoted to the position of commander, which requires a first-level professional. His goal is to be the captain, and then find an opportunity to be "promoted" to the next level, and then plan for other things.

But all these require time and opportunity. At this stage, all we need to do is to keep the city guards of Cambry alive.

In the following days, the battle was still fierce, but the intensity of Colin's attack seemed to have decreased a lot, especially some squadrons close to Colin felt less pressure. After Captain Colin was promoted, he led everyone to tenaciously defend every inch of the position and killed a large number of enemies.

According to subsequent statistics, among the casualties of the city guards in the Dia Kingdom, Cambri suffered the least losses, except for the night attack a few nights ago.

More than two months later, when even the third-level great magician Tanus, the chief of the Dia Kingdom, was injured in the battle, the performance of the Cambrian City Guards became somewhat dazzling, because the number of other city guards had been reduced to less than a thousand, the casualties exceeded 70%, and the regular army also suffered more than 40%.

With such a casualty ratio, it was not easy for the city of Cambril to retain more than 900 people.

Later, due to the massive shortage of personnel and middle and lower-level legions, the city guards of Cambri and the two neighboring cities were merged into one army. Due to strength reasons, Tynk only served as deputy commander, but fortunately he won the position of captain for Colin, who had made many contributions.

At this point, Colin's goal in the first stage has been achieved. He has been slacking off for a while since he would not be promoted even if he made meritorious contributions, so he just wanted to maintain a small casualty ratio.

Within a week after Colin began to slack off, the demon army and the wizard army launched a more fierce attack. The natives of the Aesiliya plane could no longer defend the banks of the Satus River. They gradually began to retreat to the capital of the Kingdom of Rhett, hoping to receive reinforcements from other kingdoms. They could no longer hold on with the existing manpower.

A few days before Colin left with the indigenous army of the plane, he finally found an opportunity to contact William again. After telling him his future plans, he left without hesitation.

His uncle was eager to make a contribution, so William didn't say much. He just hoped that Colin would pay attention to safety and think more about his family and Emerald Island.

The gradual retreat of the natives of the Aisilia plane eventually turned into a major rout. Fortunately, the high-level combat power had not been lost too much, and the wizard corps and the demon clan only encouraged more lower-level legions to catch up, and the high-level leaders did not take action themselves.

Colin and Hathaway finally followed Lord Tynk and escaped to Scope, the capital of the Kingdom of Wright.

The coalition forces of the wizard corps and the demon clan were a little "tired" after chasing all the way, and finally stopped eighty miles outside the city of Scop and began to establish a new headquarters and camp.
