Sam Layton stood on the city wall, watching the explosion on the other side of the river with a telescope.

This is the first appearance of the Idar Magic Cannon, and it is also the first war in which the Idar Artillery Unit has participated.

Even though he has a deep understanding of the power of the Magic Cannon and has lingering fears, Sam Layton still has a trace of tension in his heart.

And now...

Sam Layton finally let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the mess on the other side of the river and the soldiers of Odin who had become crippled under the bombardment of the Magic Cannon.

If before that, Sam Layton was only 60% sure about guarding Idarin... then by now, he has almost 90% sure about it!

Unless Odin's soldiers relied on an absolute superior force to launch an attack that is not afraid of death, otherwise, with these Odin's soldiers in front of them, it is impossible to forcibly cross the Sauron River.

And...according to the current engineering progress of Idar, I think that before the beginning of spring, the magic power from the depths of the Armis Mountains will be transmitted to Idar City and the vicinity of the Grand Heights, thus officially setting off the magic weapon. The wave of mass production!

"Stable..."

Sam Layton slammed a punch on the wall in front of him, extremely excited.

Seeing the smoke of gunpowder gradually rising across the river, the morale of Idar soldiers rose.

Although the artillery troops led by Idar had long been impressed by the immense power of the magical shell when it exploded, the ordinary soldiers of the First Army had witnessed the terrifying power of this long-range weapon for the first time.

Listening to the bursts of huge roar coming from not far away, watching the firelight rising into the sky and the dazzling light that flashed from time to time, they were first stagnated, and then they cheered involuntarily.

They originally climbed the city wall with a will to die, vowing to lead life and death with Idar, and to let the Odins smash into the sand, but now...

They didn't even see Odin's face clearly, and the Odin army on the opposite side was already crushed and howled.

As a result, in the hearts of many recruits, there was a slight loss...

They also want to go to battle to kill the enemy, they also want to contribute to Idar, and they want to get praise and rewards from the Lord Bruno Stuart, Earl of Idar.

"The soldiers of the Idar leader..."

Sam Layton just raised his saber at his waist, trying to call on the soldiers of Idar to rush out of the fortress, and give them the most painful blow while the Odin people were ashamed, but...

Suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, interrupting Sam Layton's next words.

"Master Earl?"

Sam Layton turned his head and looked surprised at Bruno who appeared behind him at some point.

"Don't worry about sending out cavalry, continue to wash the ground with artillery, and force all these Odin soldiers back to Sorrenburg. I have other plans." Bruno ordered.

"Yes!"

Sam Layton grinned and quickly replied.

Although he was puzzled by Lord Earl's approach, it was a soldier's bounden duty to obey orders, and Sam Layton replied in the first place.

"But... Lord Earl, this is the front line after all, it's too dangerous..." Sam Layton stopped talking.

"I am the supreme ruler of the Idar, and I naturally want to stand with my soldiers, and... With so many Idars standing by my side, how can I be put into a dangerous situation?"

Bruno looked around, the sincere faces made him feel particularly at ease.

"Long live the Earl!"

"Long live Idar!"

It wasn't just who started. The soldiers in the Namur Fortress shouted loudly when they saw Master Bruno personally come to the front line.

It has always been an extremely rare event for the nobles to personally come to the front to boost morale.

so……

Bruno's personal arrival greatly stimulated the Idar soldiers' desire for war, and strengthened their confidence in guarding the Idar collar.

"Preparation for the second round of shooting!" Sam Layton gave up the original idea of ​​sending cavalry to attack, and issued a new order.

Looking at the high-spirited soldiers, Bruno felt a strong sense of pride.

This is an elite division created by him!

Seeing the civilian soldiers of the Idar collar gradually grow into the backbone of the Idar collar, Bruno felt particularly satisfied. Perhaps... this is the joy of farming!

Regarding preventing Sam Layton from sending troops to charge, it was actually because Bruno had other considerations...

After all, Sam Layton needs to do only to defeat the enemy, and Bruno, as the supreme ruler of Idar, needs to take care of all aspects, control the overall situation, and take care of all aspects of Idar.

Although the Odin soldiers in front of them were scared by the magic cannon led by Idar, it is undeniable that the Odin people on the other side of the river are still the most fierce infantry in the world.

Even though the soldiers of the Idar collar have become full of military virtues under the influence of the quality concept, and their combat capabilities have also been greatly improved, but if they do not have a new melee weapon, their personal combat strength is only with the Odin soldiers. Can be flat.

Sam Layton's idea is very good. The Idars can take this opportunity to send cavalry to fight across the river and let those Odins flee in a hurry.

However, in this case...

News about Idarling will undoubtedly be passed on soon!

With the help of the CIA agents arranged in the north in advance by Idar ~lightnovelpub.net~, it is impossible to stop the footsteps of hundreds of Odin cavalry!

So... out of caution, Bruno decided to adopt another strategy at the suggestion of the CIA director Krell.

During this period, the Idar CIA made countless deductions on the command style and personal character of Odin General Raymond O’Sullivan, so...

As expected, after encountering such an embarrassing failure, Raymond will most likely retreat to Sauronburg and wait for an opportunity to move again, instead of retreating directly north.

As long as it is not a large-scale Odin cavalry, for those rigorously trained agents, it is easy to stop a few fast-moving messengers or shoot a few believers with the assistance of air force scouts.

Therefore, according to Bruno's vision, it would be better to let them live for the time being and let these Odins return to Sorrenburg.

Then……

Bruno can let the soldiers encircle Sauronberg layer by layer and catch them all at the right time!

Of course, preventing information leakage is only one of Bruno's goals.

For Bruno, these Odin pawns who came to Idar to lead the heads are excellent tools.

Didn’t the soldiers of Idar lead lack actual combat experience?

Then let Idar’s army, air force, and even the navy take turns to wait for the Odin soldiers who will be huddled in Sorenburg, so as to improve the Idar’s actual combat experience as much as possible before the Odin’s large forces attack.

After all... Compared to these pioneers led by Odin’s general Raymond O’Sullivan, the Odin army, which came after the obstacles in the receiving territory, is what Bruno really worried about!
