Chapter 708

When Leo entered cage city with his army, more than 7000 soldiers remained on the blood stained road forever. In the last two thousand kilometers, the loss of the Knights exceeded the sum of the previous two campaigns. However, most of the war damaged soldiers are reserve recruits, and the number of casualties of the regular veterans is limited, which is a great blessing in misfortune. However, nearly half of the chariots and mecha were destroyed, which made Leo and yafeidi heartache.

The value of this batch of war equipment is even higher than those soldiers who died in the war.

The only person who can still look indifferent is frank. It can even be said that the activity of zero people is exactly what Frank wants. As a result, the morale and strength of this group army have decreased by more than half. As long as the Poseidon regiment is stronger, a losing war can be foreseen.

After entering cage City, it was personally received by the old mayor Ali. In the last zero attack into cage City, the old mayor and some officials withdrew from cage city ahead of schedule. After hearing that zero didn't leave a soldier, they turned back again. After zero sum's army left, the old mayor also fulfilled his duties and quickly restored order in cage city.

This time Leo came with the Knights. Ali personally went out of the city to meet Leo, the other two military commanders and a group of sergeants. He led Leo to the municipal building and told Leo in detail about the situation of cage city these days.

Leo has always been silent, but the more silent he is, the more nervous the old mayor is. Later, Ali had to take out a square towel to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. In the conference room of the municipal building, Leo sits down. He bends his fingers and gently taps on the table while quietly listening to Ali's report. When hearing that 20 Paladin mecha were robbed by zero, Leo's sound of knocking on the table suddenly intensified.

His fingers knocked on the table to form a long treble, which shook the old mayor. Leo turned to Ali and said slowly, "Mayor Ali, Paladin mecha is an important war resource in the papal hall. Even if they are a generation of mecha that is about to be eliminated, it can't change this fact. I don't think you need to remind. You should also know what it means to lose war resources?"

As the mayor of cage, how could Ali not know that losing war resources is a felony in the law of the papal hall.

The old mayor put his head to his chest and said in a trembling voice, "Sir, I didn't mean it. At that time, Lord mesa almost drained the troops of cage city and surrounding towns, and the whole city was in an unprotected state. Those robbers swarmed in, and we didn't even have the power to stop them, so they robbed a batch of paladin mecha."

Leo snorted heavily from his nostrils, but he also knew that Ali was telling the truth. Even if it was reported to the Pope's office, Ali would not be punished too much. Leo just wanted to scare him with this so that the mayor could cooperate with their next work.

After knocking on the table for three times, Li aocai said, "let's not mention it. The top priority is to annihilate those chaotic parties. It's for this purpose that we came here. Our food has been almost eaten on the way here. You see, we can't let the soldiers go to war hungry. So, mayor Ali, please prepare food and water."

The old mayor raised his head and asked carefully, "I don't know how many soldiers there are in the army brought by adults this time?"

"About 18000 people," replied Leo.

Ali shows a embarrassed expression and says, "my Lord, there may not be so much food in cage now because of the last time I was robbed of a large amount of supplies by those robbers."

Leo said calmly, "so how many permanent residents are there in cage?"

"More than 20000."

"Plus the two surrounding towns?"

Ali guessed something. He looked nervous, but he still replied, "that's about 30000 people."

Leo looked at him and said again, "well, it shouldn't be difficult for these 30000 people to tighten their trousers and save some food for my army. Don't forget that we came here to eliminate the chaotic party and protect you. Won't we even make this sacrifice?"

Ali said with a wry smile, "my Lord, the civilians are not rich in food. What they have left can only survive the winter. Prepare nearly 20000 food reserves at one time. I'm afraid many people will starve to death this winter."

"It's just civilians. If you die, you'll die." Frank suddenly interrupted, "in fact, there's a simpler way. Mayor Ali, are you interested in listening?"

Ali smiled, nodded and said, "what does Lord Frick mean?"

Frank made a beheading gesture and said, "there are 30000 civilians around here. How much food do these pigs have to consume? Otherwise, if we kill half of the civilians, the saved food will be enough for our army. Mayor Ali, what do you think of my proposal?"

Ali's face turned green and said in a trembling voice, "adults are laughing. I don't think we need to use this method. The citizens will certainly provide food for the army, so I'll let someone do it." after that, he looked at Leo like asking for help.

Leo closed his eyes and waved him down. Aleru was pardoned and bowed out of the conference room. After leaving, he immediately asked his assistant to issue the order of grain collection. Although some civilians would starve or even starve to death in winter, it was better than letting Frank kill nearly half of the civilians at once. The commander of the army, in Ali's eyes, is no different from the devil.

In contrast, the robbers looked much more lovable. At least they only robbed things and didn't hurt people after they attacked cage.

In the conference room, Frank smiled low. Yafeidi looked at him angrily, but the bald head didn't care. He knew why yafeidi was angry. The handsome head believed in the chivalry. His proposal just now obviously violated yafeidi's bottom line.

Leo finally opened his eyes. He gave Frank a faint look and said, "your proposal is getting bolder and bolder."

"What's wrong with being bold? Being afraid of hands and feet can't do great things. It's still the previous sentence, just civilians. If you kill them, you'll kill them. What's the difference between killing a civilian and killing 10000?" Frank smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Leo said in a deep voice, "yes, we are the people standing at the top of the pyramid. But don't forget that if there are no civilians, there will be no cornerstone of the pyramid. Killing one civilian is called Liwei. Killing 10000 civilians is called cruelty. I think there is still a difference."

Frank smiled at Leo, shook his head and said: "That's not enough, Leo. You should completely let go of yourself. Then you will find how broad the world is without any constraints. At least, you can look at the world in a higher dimension. At that time, you will find that how many civilians die is not the focus. The focus is how to achieve your goals faster and more effectively."

The bald leader stood up, patted Leo on the shoulder, and then left the conference room laughing.

Yafeidi glared at Frank, who was manic, and wanted to get up and accuse him. Leo made a gesture and asked him to sit down. After Frank left the meeting room, Leo said: "He will not understand that after releasing all shackles and opening all shackles, what he gets is not absolute freedom, but confusion and destruction. When a person looks at things from the perspective of God, he is either a genius or a madman. And he, I guess the latter."

Yafeidi finally smiled: "I guess so."

"Well, forget Frank. Let's talk about suppressing the disorderly party. Has the Scout been sent out?"

"Before entering cage City, I have arranged a group of personnel to scout first. We will have news tomorrow night at the latest."

"Well, after we get the information, we can deploy the next operation." Leo paused and said in his own voice, "I hope it can be faster. My time... Seems to be running out."

In the evening of the next day, the reconnaissance team sent by yafeidi came back and brought the exact news of canon. To the surprise of Leo and yafeidi, the sea god group headed by zero not only gave up the three towns of Tucson, but even the canon fortress. They gathered all materials and troops and transferred them to the eternal mountains. If Leo's goal was to recapture the fortress Canon, now they can do it without effort.

But is it really that simple?

"What a wonderful opponent," sighed Leo.

It is also in the conference room of the municipal building, but it has changed. A large number of tables and chairs have been removed and replaced with plasma tactical boards and several smart brains. Three staff officers and a group of operators form a think tank. They can deduce most of the conventional tactics for Leo, so as to save Leo's time and energy.

Yafeidi heard Leo's sigh, frowned and said, "teacher, what did you think of?"

Leo stood in front of the plasma tactical board. On the tactical board were maps of the fortress canon, the nearby eternal mountains and the three towns of Tucson. The old leader took an electronic pen and drew a circle between the fortress canon and the eternal mountains, and then connected them with a straight line. He thought: "Obviously, our opponent has chosen a favorable battlefield for himself. I have to say that he can abandon the fortress and move to the eternal mountains. He really has an extraordinary strategic vision. After all, no matter how strong Kanon is, he can't stop our army of nearly two people and the bombardment of hundreds of chariots and mecha."

"But if the battlefield moves to the eternal mountains, it will be different. First, our chariots can't drive up the mountains, and even the mecha is greatly limited. Second, the restrictions of mountain roads make it impossible for us to march on a large scale like on the plain, so as to limit the number of our offensive personnel. This is the home chosen by the enemy. What's hateful is that we can't refuse." Leo said it again.
