Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

The roar of explosions is still coming from the mine behind, and the six War Demon Apes are still doing their best to destroy. With their "style", I am afraid that if they don't crush everyone in the entire mine, every truck or truck will be destroyed. He would not give up if all other machines were destroyed, but this was no longer a problem that Dudley should consider.

Dudley knew that he was not the savior, and not all the monsters in the world relied on him to kill demons and harm the people. In other words, he sometimes thought about whether Byleth was his enemy, but he knew one thing. The thing is, they are still very weak. If they cannot check the direction of the war between Byres and the Iron Lion Principality, they will have no chance. Perhaps when the Iron Lion Principality gains the upper hand one day, he will also help Byres deal with the Iron Lion. Maybe even the army.

Fighting is not about treating guests to dinner, or distinguishing right from wrong, but about comparing who is more ruthless, who has bigger fists, and who is more insidious and cunning.

After crossing hundreds of kilometers of mountains, avoiding some villages and towns that were more or less filled with black smoke, we finally saw a magnificent fortified city appearing between several mountains on the horizon. Aalborg arrived.

It doesn't matter at this glance. Byres' army has indeed arrived at the city. Even the south side of Aalborg has experienced indiscriminate bombing. The 40-meter-high city wall is scarred, but the gap has been quickly repaired. It looks like Dozens of patches were applied.

The defense zone outside the city was almost plowed by artillery shells, and the original fortifications and facilities could no longer be seen clearly. There were black explosion marks, broken vehicles and machinery everywhere, and the soil blown up by the artillery shells destroyed the bodies of soldiers. Covered up, the blood was left in the soil, dark and sticky, blending into the earth.

Dudley also finally saw what the Iron Lion Principality used to fight against the Byreth War Demon Ape. To deal with monsters, create your own monsters!The remains of two giant robots, which were more than ten meters high, stood on the battlefield, as eye-catching as two hills. Not far from the robots, there were also the corpses of two war demon apes. Their deaths were horrific.

Hundreds of scavenging birds were hovering in the air, and from time to time they would come down and peck open the head of an unlucky person, greedily sucking his brain.

"We can't go any further!" Ghost Joe standing at the bow of the ship shouted back. Lulu at the helm quickly turned around, and the airship circled an arc in the air and stopped slowly.

Following Ghost Joe's finger, Dudley saw Byres's military camp, which was about ten kilometers away from the gate of Aalborg. It was divided into six camps, all hidden in the blind spot of the observation tower of the Aalborg city wall, but faintly visible. All exits to the south of Aalborg are blocked.

Dudley gestured with his hand and said: "There are about [-] army troops and an unknown air force. They should be invisible."

Ghost Joe said: "There should be Byres' air defense line ahead, or a patrol airship. If we go forward, we are likely to collide with them." Dudley nodded towards him.

"What should we do? Help the Iron Lion Army defend the city?" Mia asked nervously. This was the first time she saw such a large formation of elite troops. Although she had attacked Aalborg several times without success, However, the Byres army was still well-organized and well-guarded. She was a little worried that Dudley wanted to launch a surprise attack on the Byres army. The few hundred men and horses they had might not be enough to fill the enemy's teeth.

Dudley quickly shook his head and said sternly: "Of course I won't help. They are not our friends."

Everyone looked at Dudley with strange eyes. Aren't we helping the Iron Lion Army to deal with the Byres Army along the way?But having said that, in front of the Iron Lion Army, these people are just like bandits and bandits, and they have no friendly status at all.

"Of course, it will be more beneficial to us if the Iron Lion Army can win miserably." Dudley continued.

Mia was stunned by what Dudley said and didn't understand what he meant at all, but her father, as a veteran, understood it immediately.

The father smiled and said: "Only by allowing Byres to retreat and causing enough damage to the Iron Lion Principality, the Iron Lion Principality can counterattack. Only by the Iron Lion Principality's counterattack by Byres, can the Kingdom of Wind be saved!"

As soon as Mia heard that the Kingdom of Wind was saved, her eyes widened and her whole body became nervous. She was quite familiar with Aalborg, which was not far from the western border of the Kingdom of Wind.Although it is a vassal state of Byres, the Kingdom of Wind is sandwiched between two powerful countries and has always maintained a good relationship with the Iron Lion Principality. Normal commercial and diplomatic relations are maintained. This can be regarded as the survival of a small country. Let's face it, it's just that this state of living in the cracks may be understood by Byleth as a straw, and it is also one of the reasons for the collapse of the Kingdom of Wind.

"Teacher Dudley, can Aalborg repel Byres' army?" Mia asked eagerly.

Dudley stood by the railing of the deck and carefully observed the damage to the Byres military camp and Aalborg in the distance. He shook his head and said, "Byres is besieging the city to bring reinforcements. Look, they still have some remaining troops. With 3000 people interspersed deep, they could also send 6 War Demon Apes to the Gale Mine, proving that they have sufficient combat power and are not in a hurry to capture Aalborg. There is only one possibility. They want to bring down the Iron Lion Principality and prevent them from conquering Aalborg. Stop to support Aalborg, and then wait for work and use the air superiority to annihilate the reinforcements. As long as the reinforcements are defeated several times in a row, the psychology of Aalborg's defenders will collapse."

Ghost Shadow Qiao interjected: "This is the advantage of the attacker... After all, the war takes place on the territory of other countries, and the loss of national power in war will always be the loss of the other country... Byres has a larger population than the Iron Lion Principality. The productivity is stronger, and if this fight continues, Iron Lion will really be brought down."

Mia said bitterly: "Byres is really hateful!"

Dudley looked at Mia's indignant look and knew that she was thinking of the Country of Wind who was being sacrificed again, so he couldn't help but sigh secretly.As for war, there is not much human reason to speak of. It is just to use all possible means to defeat the opponent. Once the dynasty that unified the continent is established, won't Emperor Byres be able to write history as he wants?

"I wonder what the Holy Envoy has up his sleeve?" Dad already heard that Dudley had a plan and asked proactively.

Dudley pointed to the north and said: "Go around to the north. As long as Byres's supply line is cut off, these Byres troops who besieged Aalborg will either retreat on the spot, or they can only attack the city with all their strength and start a decisive battle. Only they can launch a decisive battle." Only a decisive battle can break the current deadlock. If Aalborg can hold on by then, it will be time for the Iron Lion Principality to counterattack."

"Do you just rely on a few hundred of us?" Mia was a little unsure.

Dudley was stunned. He also knew that although this strategy was good, the risks were also huge. If it failed, it would lead to the tragic ending of the entire army being annihilated.

While Dudley was hesitating, he suddenly received a notification from the Ordnance Manual:

[Warning: The host’s stay during the current construction period has been close to 30 Earth days, and is about to reach the upper limit of inter-dimensional stay time. The system will automatically open the portal after 3 hours, and will be punished by time and space resistance if it exceeds the time limit. ]

Dudley was shocked. This news was too sudden. He had no psychological preparation. He did not expect that there would be an upper limit on the time he could stay in the wasteland. He curiously clicked on what "time and space resistance penalty" meant.

[Time and space resistance penalty: Those who bear the time and space resistance penalty will be repulsed by the entire time and space, with luck -10 and soul strength -10. ]

Dudley almost jumped when he saw the words "lucky -10". He didn't want to bear any effect of reducing luck in this life. The last experience was so ecstasy that he still remembered it, and the soul strength was -10. It also made him feel very insecure. You must know that Dementors are probably created by alchemists in the Wasteland. It is normal to encounter them here.

Seeing Dudley's expression change, Mia keenly guessed that something was wrong. She quickly stepped forward and hugged Dudley's arm and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Dudley looked feebly at the north, then at the east, sighed and said: "Go to the east according to the original plan, return to the land of the Wind Country, and find a place where you can recuperate and build a home."

Mia was overjoyed. No matter what it would be like to go back, her biggest wish now was to go back. She could not have imagined that so many wars between the two great powers would have an impact on her return to the country. She only knew that the later the day went by, the more the Kingdom of Wind would hold in the hearts of the people. The sense of existence will be weaker, and after a while, the Kingdom of Wind will really become a thing in the story.

But then Dudley said that he was about to return to the "Kingdom of God" (Dad and others thought Dudley came from the kingdom of God, so they always called him the Holy Messenger). Mia suddenly felt extremely happy and sad, and her eyes widened. Red, tears are about to flow out.

"How long will it take to come back?" Guiying Qiao frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.

"One to three months." Dudley pursed his lips.

Everyone looked at each other, of course they knew that from one to three months, that is, three months, once Dudley left, they would lose their strongest backbone and combat effectiveness, and would have to rely entirely on themselves, in a place surrounded by powerful enemies. So much can happen in three months.

Miya's tears welled up in her eyes, but they did not fall down in the end. Just like the first separation a few months ago, she finally had the strong part in her heart to hold on. She also knew that the restoration of the country was her own business, and she had no choice. The right to bind Dudley with emotions, use Dudley to realize her wish, and directly give herself a crown of the Kingdom of Wind. Dudley has helped her enough, there is always something that they need to work hard to fight for. accomplish.

Hearing that there were still three hours left, Mia had no choice but to linger with Dudley. When her father took the helm and turned the Spitfire eastward, Mia rushed into the cooking master's tent to make all the remaining high-end ingredients into an upgrade. Letting Dudley bring food with special properties was the only thing she could do for Dudley.

Although Dudley was helpless, he still very rationally summoned Phoenix again, purchased enough magic batteries and handed them to his father. Finally, he saw that there were still 60 points that had not been redeemed.

This time he came to the Wasteland Continent, and his harvest was pretty good. The food made by Mia alone allowed him to gain strength +1, agility +1, magic +2, and soul strength +3. Mainly because of him Your stomach is limited, and you can't eat as much of these high-end foods as you want. If you stretch yourself to death, the gain outweighs the loss.In addition to food, he also gained a lot of knowledge about "Wasteland Moon" and "Magic Weapons". However, he is currently running around and has no time to calm down and sort out these knowledge systems.

In addition to these direct gains, he also increased the soul power of the Gun Contract to 4680/5000 in this month's battle. The magician who killed Byleth gave him a lot of soul power, and the upgrade is close at hand. .
