Chapter 1648: Scandal (Ⅰ)

Twelve Iron Riders lined up in a line, clearing the way with a "lightning beam", and raised their guns towards the Feizhen Army position.
The spears on their heads and the bullets that hit them hit them, and most of them were ejected directly by the enchanted armor. Occasionally, several bullets penetrated through the gaps of the armor, and it was difficult to penetrate the tough skin of the demon family with damage reduction, causing The damage is negligible.
Twenty iron cavalry charge forwards, clearing obstacles for the subsequent human cavalry.
The last charge Baron Laval launched today was finally a great success, leading the Midgard Colonial Corps to completely disperse the Fijian front.
The demon cavalry who suddenly appeared on the battlefield not only disrupted the defense arrangement of Feizhen’s side, but also caused a great psychological deterrent to the officers and soldiers who witnessed the demon for the first time. Most people only felt the terror that emanated from the iron cavalry. I was already terrified by shaking my legs, holding unstable weapons, not to mention stepping forward.
General Thomas Convalley tried his best to stabilize his position. However, his defeat was defeated. His efforts were ultimately futile. He had to face this bitter reality and led the remnants to escape from the battlefield and evacuate to Linyuanbao overnight.
The Midgards finally won the victory and temporarily saved their homes, but the victory was not easy, and they paid a heavy price for it.
After the battle of Lake Aosta, statistics show that the casualties of both warring parties are as high as 50%.
The Assa Walsong tribe, which cooperated with the Midgard Colonial Corps, also sacrificed more than two hundred young fighters for this war, including Logan Walsong, who was a vanguard on the battlefield. The injured are as many as 40%.
If you only look at the statistics, the scale of the "Aosta Lake Campaign" is actually not large, and the total of the troops invested by the belligerent parties is less than 10,000.
But at the turn of the spring and summer of 1622, when the Asan New Continent colony suffered a defeat from the south to the north, the wind and rain in Midgard City, and the surrender of the surrender, the arrival of this victory was particularly valuable. Its victory in politics and diplomacy The far-reaching impact caused by the field is even greater than the military significance.
When the news of victory returned to the colonial capital, Midgard was full of joy!
Facts speak louder than words. After this battle, the Midgard colonial authorities have proved capable of resisting the invasion of the Fijians. The members of the municipal council who actively advocated surrender are disgraced, and more members of the original vacillating position have expressed their opinions in public. The invaders fought to the end.
The newspapers headed by "Meadgard Tribune" finally ushered in the opportunity to show their talents. They published front-line success stories on the front page, and in-depth reports on the battle of Lake Aosta are also in full preparation.
The fighting between the two major colonies in the North and the South came to an end, and a war for the direction of public opinion broke out.
The Fijians ate a defeat on the eastern shore of Lake Aosta, but the journalists of Jotunheim soon returned to a city on the battlefield of public opinion.
After losing the battle, how can you be so embarrassed to engage in news propaganda?
It is okay to inconvenience to advertise your defeated generals. You can also expose the ugly face of the enemy, use the mean means used in the war, pour dirty water on the victors, and stink the enemy’s reputation, and still achieve the purpose of guiding public opinion.
If the Midgard military did not use any "unconventional means" during the war, the Jodenheim press could not pick out the bones from the eggs and could only compile stories out of nothing. Reports without facts are often difficult to justify and lack. Persuasive.
Unfortunately, or fortunately for the Jordonheim military eager to get rid of the blame for defeat, General Convalley really holds strong evidence against his opponents on the battlefield.
Less than a week after the Battle of Lake Aosta, the New Avalon's "Yortonheim News" broke the news that Baron Laval, the commander of the Midgard Colonial Corps, borrowed in the war Demon power.
This report cites multiple testimonies, accompanied by vivid print illustrations, detailing the critical moment of the battle to be decided in the battle of Lake Aosta. Baron Benedict Laval is among the thousands of officers and soldiers participating in the battle between the enemy and us. Under watchfulness, the magnificent use of some taboo means to summon twenty "iron riders" from the bottomless abyss.
As soon as this group of abyssal iron riders appeared on the battlefield, they immediately followed Baron Laval's order to attack Fijian's position, and no fewer than one hundred Fijian officers and soldiers died under the iron hoofs of the demon, and eventually caused Fijian's side to lose.
The colonial society of the New World is generally biased towards traditional conservatism, especially the upper-class society dominated by aristocrats. Even if private men and female prostitutes do all the bad things in private, they still have to be gentlemanly and openly "traditional" and "decent". The moral high ground shows superiority.
Under the dominance of this trend, the noblemen in the Midgard colony, "upper class", despised even indigenous peoples such as the Asa and the hill giants. They were very concerned about the establishment of a military alliance with the Walsunge tribe. Isn't it right? It's even more scornful to see the Fijians and the hill giants, and regard it as a barbarous act of self-regression. So how do these people who have the guidance of social public opinion think of the act of Baron Laval colluding with the devil?
If this happened to an officer from a civilian background, it wouldn’t be a big deal. The upper class can attribute the act of colluding with the devil to the inferiority of the inferiors. Military senior officials can also call it a
private act
and cannot represent The position of the Midgard colonial authorities.
If a certain military mage summoned a demon to resist the enemy, it would be even more blameless.
In the public's impression, arcane spellcasters like wizards and warlocks are originally a group of strange and strange guys who often deal with demons or undead creatures. It is understandable that they are forced to summon demons as rescuers when the military situation is urgent.
However, this happened to Baron Laval, and the situation became very embarrassing.
Benedict Laval is a well-established nobleman, not only a knight, but also a military chief of the Midgard colony, a front-line commander of the Battle of Lake Aosta, he and the colonial authorities, and The military is too closely integrated with the aristocracy and the upper class society to cut it, let alone throw a big man like him out as a child.
Baron Laval’s words and deeds on weekdays always give an impression of arrogance. He is still regarded as a beast by the Asa indigenous people who are also humans, and he wishes to slaughter it clean, freeing up land and resources for a civilized and noble colony Enjoy, so what kind of attitude does he hold on to the devil?
