Chapter 1462: Return home

There are not many reinforcements brought by General Bled, only a guard cavalry battalion.
The imperial authorities value General Bled’s bright resume and rich experience in battlefield command, and believe that the use of this veteran to replace the young Lieutenant Colonel Vasa is enough to fight the cunning Louis Jumonville.
Joan saw the news that the command of the Alfheim Corps changed hands in the newspaper. Although he felt a little lost in his heart and felt sorry for Lieutenant Colonel Vassar, he also looked forward to this personnel adjustment and looked forward to the experienced Blair. General German, with the assistance of Lieutenant Colonel Vaasa, was able to defeat the arrogant Louis Jumonville.
But this time, the news he waited for was not just disappointment, it was almost desperate!
On February 27, 1622, the front page of the "Meadgard Tribune" reported a shocking bad news.
Just a week ago, the Alfheim Corps was ambushed by the sea-blue invaders in the Dring Valley, and almost all the troops were wiped out after the battle.
The imperial authority, with great hopes, General Edward Bled, was unfortunately killed in this service.
Before his death, General Bled presented his ribbon to his lieutenant lieutenant colonel Vassar, appointed him as acting commander, and led the broken part to break through the encirclement and evacuate to Delin town.
George Vaasa, who regained command of the army, was awarded the rank of colonel by Sir Norfolk, Governor of Yalfheim yesterday. He was ordered to station in the town of Delin, and he urgently recruited local militia to try to reorganize the army and resist Zhu Meng along the Hebei. The Weir Corps.
At the end of the report, the reporters in the military field described with grace and sadness:
"There is a deserted fruit forest on the north side of Delin Town. On winter evenings, climb the hills along the forest path and look back. Looking across the frozen Delin River, you can see the floating over the enemy camp on the opposite bank of the river without using a telescope. Cooking smoke."
The news of General Bled’s disastrous defeat and the sensation and panic in Midgard City were no less than in Leiden.
Because it is thousands of miles away from the southern front, people can only understand the tragic situation from the news reports, which naturally exaggerates the intensity of this crisis.
Most people pessimistically believed that the defeat had caused a devastating blow to the military power of Alfheim. The colonial government of Port Leiden had already been tucked into the coffin by the Sea Blues, only to finally nail the coffin plate.
Now that the Jumonville Corps has won a decisive victory in the South, it is conceivable that this will prompt the Fijians to abandon the wait-and-see and make up their mind to determine Midgarde.
Nowadays, the Midgard can no longer count on the support from their compatriots in the South and have to face the Feizhen Iron Rider that may appear on the upper reaches of the Vimur River at any time, or the Feizhen Fleet that appears on the sea level.
The fiasco of General Brad changed the direction of public opinion on the university campus.
Including Arnold, few people now publicly laugh at Lieutenant Colonel Vasa-no, now this commander has been promoted to colonel.
First, General Gates was seriously injured, and then General Bled died in the battlefield. It can be seen that people's previous criticism of Lieutenant Colonel Vasa was too biased.
This Mr. Lieutenant Colonel may have lost the battle even not because he and his troops were too weak, but because their enemies, the combined Navy and Jackal Corps commanded by General Louis Jumonville, were too strong.
In the face of strong enemies that could not be defeated in any way, it was not easy for Colonel Vaasa to maintain a situation where he was fighting and retreating, losing, and not chaotic.
The improvement in Colonel Vaasa’s evaluation made Joan feel very relieved, but when he thought of the Zhu Mengweier regiment stationed near his hometown, it was possible to cross the frozen river at any time and launch an offensive against the town of Delin. .
Joan doesn’t have any relatives in his hometown, but that’s where he was born and raised. After all, he can’t sit back and watch the homes suffer from the sea-blue invaders’ toes. The enemies also have cruel bloodthirsty jackals.
The school is about to start in a few days, but Joanne can't take care of that much. After throwing away the newspaper, he immediately ran to Moriarty's laboratory, and the instructor indicated his intention to return home.
Professor Moriarty has always been reasonable, not only giving him a holiday, but also proposing an agreement.
"No matter where you are, my student, the first thing to get up every morning, must be to send me a letter to report safety, if you encounter trouble that you can't solve, you must notify me at any time."
"Until you come back, I will continue to pay attention to the war in the South. If you are in trouble, or I think you are in trouble, my boy, let's see you in Delin."
"Teacher, wouldn't you also plan to participate in the war in the South?" Qiao An looked at the professor in amazement.
"It's not certain, if your journey back home is smooth, I'm too lazy to ask for trouble, but if it is not so smooth..." Professor Moriarty smiled casually, "God knows what I will do Come."
Joan moved his nose sorely, and secretly made up his mind. Unless forced, he should not involve the mentor in this storm.
After leaving the instructor's laboratory, Joan walked past the library. After a little hesitation, he turned and walked into the library gate.
This trip back home is not just for visiting relatives and friends, Qiao An is already mentally prepared for the test of war.
Now that he was ready to join the army, he naturally thought of a problem.
Most of the spells he currently masters are only suitable for small teams to take risks or scientific research experiments. In the vast battlefield where thousands of people are confronting each other, the role will be greatly reduced.
Before you set off, take a moment to go to the library and copy a few spell scrolls suitable for use on the battlefield, in case you need it.
Thinking so, Joan walked to the magic mirror of the enquiry of the magic scrolls in the collection, and after some comparison and screening, picked out six spell scrolls.
These six scrolls are all 4 ring spells. Joan paid 24 credits, returned to the reading room with a pile of scrolls, sat in a window position, spread out the spell book, unscrewed the pen, and transcribed it.
The first spell Joan chose was "detection detection" belonging to the protection school.
This spell is an enhanced version of the 3rd Ring of "Avoidance Detection". After casting, the invisible protective cover with a radius of 40 feet is opened around the center of the self.
Creatures inside the protective cover, including the caster, if they are peeped by certain prophetic spells, such as "Higher Endoscopy", "Eagle Eyes", "Exploration" or "Mysterious Eyes", An alarm will be issued automatically.
If the spellcaster's mana is stronger than the voyeur, you can also use "detection detection" to conduct anti-detection to learn the identity and current location of the voyeur.
Obviously, this is a spell specifically used to counter spies.
