Chapter 1160: Go to stay

"In addition to the fixed turrets used for city defense, there is our naval fleet on the Gulf of Asa. Both old-style sail warships and new armored steam warships are equipped with naval guns. Some naval guns are even larger in caliber than the urban defenses. If the giants Dare to invade coastal towns, these warships will teach them to be humans."
"Unfortunately, the fort and the fleet can only be used to defend coastal towns and cannot reach the inland area where Elk Town is located. We are also helpless to the disaster facing the Asa people." Captain Stone sighed.
After all, Audrey was Her Royal Highness Princess of the Kingdom of Canaan. She knew more about modern artillery than Joan, and immediately asked a very targeted question: "In addition to the city defense artillery and naval artillery, the garrison in the Midgard colony is not set up. Artillery units, equipped with more flexible marine artillery?"
"Well..." Captain Stone rubbed his cheeks and replied somewhat reluctantly, "Linyuanbao does have two artillery battalions, each with 30 pounds of cavalry and 12 pounds of infantry, but these The magic crystal cannons are all the hearts and minds of Lord Laval. I am afraid they can’t pull them out to deal with the Frost Giants. Moreover, the weight of the projectiles fired by these magic crystal cannons is too light. The Colossus poses a substantial threat."
"How can you know if you don't try it?" Holden jumped up excitedly. "I saw the test shot of a 12-pound gun in the arsenal of Bethlehem. When I bombarded, I exploded the bunker thousands of yards away. , "The Colossus of Ice Barriers" is nothing more than a large piece of ice in the end, it is never stronger than the masonry building the bunker!"
"The hooligan said it well, the cannon bombed the colossus, I see it!"
Hailar rarely agreed with Holden and urged Captain Stone to send a letter to the Linyuanbao Command as soon as possible, requesting Sir Laval to send artillery troops to support Elk Town.
"You two little guys, don't be too happy. Based on my understanding of Lord Lord, he will never promise to send artillery troops to rescue Elk Town." Captain Stone poured cold water on Holden and Hailar, "This is not only because Lord Jazz has always hated the Assa people, but more importantly, the artillery is too expensive, and in case of any loss, Lord Jazz may be unable to sleep in distress."
"Mr. Captain, this is to save thousands of lives in Elk Town!" Audrey resolutely said, "Even if there is only one thousandth possibility, we must seize this last opportunity and issue a letter of help, even if you pull Sir Wall refused to increase the aid. At the very least, we have fulfilled our obligations and have a clear conscience, what do you think?"
Captain Stone moved slightly, twisting his thick eyebrows for a long moment, and finally nodded.
"Joan! Send a letter to Lord Laval!" Hailar urged urgently.
Joan had already prepared the "SMS" casting materials. What he thought was that this letter of help must be sent out regardless of whether Captain Stone agreed or not.
Since Mr. Captain nodded, there was nothing to worry about. He hurriedly carried out three rings of "short text messaging" on the copper wire in his hand, briefly describing the current crisis facing Elk Town, focusing on requesting the artillery force before the fire To support.
In the following time, everyone sat around the table and waited for a reply with anxious mood.
In the silent hall, time passed by quietly, and every second seemed to become double and prolonged, making people suffer.
I don't know how long after that, Joan noticed a magic wave in front of him, and then a ball of red light appeared.
Holden and Hailar stood up involuntarily, and Audrey and Captain Stone held their breaths, staring at the ball of red light slowly spinning in mid-air.
Joan took a deep breath, raised his hand to hold the ball of light, read the reply from Sir Laval, and afterwards endured the loss, shook his head silently.
"What's the matter, Joan? Would Sir Laval refuse to send troops to rescue?" Holden asked incredulously.
Joan nodded and stopped talking.
Baron Laval responded to the ruthless words in his letter, and he couldn't bear to speak in front of everyone.
"Jazz clearly refused to send troops to rescue Elk Town, and admitted that it was not worth turning over for the Assa people and the tyrannical Frost Giant Lord."
"The jazz also said in his reply that even with the two artillery battalions in Linyuanbao, even if they could barely repel the mythological colossus, they would have to pay huge casualties, not to mention the large group of frost giants and white dragons involved in the battle in Fort Winter. , Together with vassal forces like Snow Monster and Winter Wolf, the consequences of a full-scale war are unimaginable."
"The Jazz finally told me to tell Mr. Captain that the reconnaissance company must not participate in the conflict between the Asa and Dongbao forces, and must withdraw from Elk Town as soon as possible and return to Linyuanbao."
After recounting Baron Laval's instructions, Joan looked to Captain Stone and waited for his final decision.
To be fair, Joanne felt that this reply from Baron Laval was indeed a bit cold, but it was also a wise move to avoid being involved in the conflict between the aborigines and the Frost Giants, and to protect the interests of the Midgard colony to the greatest extent. The duty of the garrison commander. Asking him to rescue Elk Town at all costs is too naive and impractical.
"Everyone, you have heard Lord Lord's order," Captain Stone supported the table with both hands, and slowly stood up, looking at the young man with sympathy and helplessness. "As a soldier, no matter how much we have in mind Reluctantly, you must resolutely obey the orders of the superior... prepare to retreat."
"Mr. Captain, this was a wise decision, but I refused to implement it." Holden suddenly laughed. "You just said that it is the duty of the soldiers to obey the orders of the superiors. This is true, but I am not a Midgard Garrison. The soldier who is in active service is just an intern. Now I announce my withdrawal from the reconnaissance company and end my internship early, so there is no need to follow the orders of Sir Laval?"
"Boy, don't be fooled!" Captain Stone lowered his face. "It's good for you to stay here and wait for death!"
"At least it makes me feel at ease, not guilty and regretful for life." Holden replied without giving up.
"Your kid must be crazy!" Captain Stone shook his head and turned to look at Audrey, expecting her to persuade her brother to give up the crazy idea.
"Mr. Captain, thank you for taking care of me and Holden these days, although a bit reluctant... it is time to say goodbye."
"Audrey, do you want to stay?" Captain Stone couldn't believe his ears. "This stupid decision is not like what you can do!"
"It's really stupid, but I can only honestly face my inner voice." Audrey smiled slightly, her eyes firm: "Mr. Captain, don't forget, I'm a paladin anyway, now it's mine How can we shrink back when the faith is tested?"
