Before the war broke out, Weiss's intuitive impression of the Normans was limited to the elite cadets from the Royal Norman Army Academy. They had the elegance of an eagle, the agility of a leopard, and the cunning of a fox. They had outstanding physical fitness, proficient in military skills, and mastered tactics. They were almost impeccable, as if they were the most perfect existence in the world. If it weren't for winning back a game in the last game, Weiss and his companions had no confidence in defeating the Norman army.

After the war broke out, for more than a month, the federal military and civilians chose to watch the wall. They were amazed at the sharpness of the Norman army and were surprised and puzzled by the defeat of the Wessex fleet. However, when the federal senior officials made the decision to join the war, they still rushed to the front line without hesitation. As a result, nearly two-thirds of the troops left the country were lost. Weiss, who had experienced the border battle, saw the strength of the Normans and saw the self-rational timidity behind their bravery.

People will have weaknesses, and the Normans are no exception!

During his brief confusion and confusion, Weiss decided to make good use of his current situation and be a special undercover agent. He followed the peddlers to sleep in dirty tents and eat fishy miscellaneous pieces. He worked for more than 14 hours a day. While working, he quietly observed the work and daily routines and words of the Norman soldiers around him, and took advantage of the few opportunities to contact and learn Norman language, which took half a month in a flash. During this period, he stayed with the peddlers in the initial barracks for 5 days, and then at Sambala.

He stayed in the new camp on the north bank of the river for 8 days. Just when he thought he would continue to move south along the Norman army's front line, the federal army gathered heavy troops and launched a counterattack from the Alsa Federal State and Pablombo Federal State at the same time, breaking through the Sambala River defense line, forcing the Norman army outside the city of O'City soon fell into an unfavorable situation of being attacked on three sides, and had to restrain his edge and retreat. In this way, Weiss followed the Norman army northward, and four days later, he came to the Hofentis military base occupied by the Normans to settle down.

Before, when the federal army evacuated the Hoffentis military base, it hurriedly destroyed many warehouses and training facilities. Because of its special geographical location, the Normans chose this place as a military stronghold and transformed it with their habitual thinking. After Weiss's mailbox arrived here with the army, they were arranged to build trenches and fortifications before they had a short rest. The project volume and time were so tight that the mailboxes worked until late at night before they were put back to bed, and were urged to work the next morning. Here, not only hundreds of mailboxes worked day and night, but many Norman soldiers also rolled up their sleeves and devoted themselves to civil engineering operations.

, but their operation area is different from the servile men. In addition, the Normans also used a lot of trucks and some construction machinery. They built reinforced concrete fortifications in various parts of the defense line, covered with thick mud and sand, and then used hidden camouflage. Ordinary reconnaissance methods could not be discovered at all. In addition, the Normans also laid multiple wire mesh belts and minefields in front of their positions, and the defense strength of the Hofentis military base increased significantly every day. In it, Weiss couldn't help but worry about the fate of his colleagues in the Federal Army: if he chose to attack head-on, he still didn't know how much casualties would be...

On the fourth day of returning to Hofentis, Weiss once again witnessed the majesty of the Federal Fleet from the perspective of being in an enemy camp. A federal combat fleet consisting of 4 battleships, 4 cruisers and 15 patrol ships launched violent shelling on the Hofentis Fortress constructed by the Normans. Without being disturbed by the Norman warships, this intermittent shelling began in the morning and ended at dusk. During this period, the federal army dispatched aircraft to reconnaissance and bomb drops many times. Despite the restricted area of ​​activity, Weiss still tried his best to observe, infer and record the garrison of the Norman army. That night, a large number of Norman soldiers retreated into the fortress from three directions southeast and west, which greatly increased the number of Norman troops stationed here.

The next morning, when the Federal Fleet appeared in the sky again, the Norman warship finally appeared. They dispatched 2 battleships, 2 armored ships, 1 cruiser and 7 cruisers. Compared with the Federal Fleet opposite the battlefield, such a lineup inevitably seemed a bit thin. It seems that as artificial star source stones cannot provide continuous and stable aerial power for flying warships, and the production of the Star Source Stone mine in Wessex is still gradually recovering, the Norman Fleet's combat losses replenishment speed is far less than that of the Federal Fleet, which has strong industrial strength and has the advantage of the home court.

The two fleets confronted each other across the air. The federal side, which had an absolute advantage in number, unceremoniously "bud the few with more". They monitored the entire venue with four first-class battleships, and sent cruisers and patrol ships to form two artillery detachments to support ground troops in combat. During the artillery attacks of the federal army, nearly a hundred federal army aircraft appeared on the battlefield at one time. They swept through the Norman army defense zone like locusts and bombed corners that were difficult to cover. Under the successive suppression, the defense facilities built by the Norman army on a large scale encountered a hurricane and were cleaned up. The Norman army not only suffered losses, but also the fighting spirit and determination of the officers and soldiers were also continuously weakened.

The Federal Army's very powerful artillery preparation changed Weiss' pessimistic view of this fortress offensive and defensive battle, and also made him greatly improve his ability to learn from the Federal Army and adapt to the war. In fact, looking at the previous war, the Ulster-Wessex coalition was able to reverse and win victory. Although the Wessex army made important contributions, their role was like the wing players on the court, which mainly played an assist role, and fundamentally relied on the Federal Army to destroy cities and villages. By the late stage of the war, the Federal Army had already mastered the tactics of artillery fire opening + deep interlude, so that it was proven to break through the Norman Army's defense line...

Since seeing the turning point of the war, Weiss decided to take advantage of the battle to return to the federal army. After the battle started, the servants not only had to work with Norman soldiers to repair fortifications, but also took on various tasks such as transporting ammunition, transferring wounded, and extinguishing fires. In addition to not having to participate in the battle directly, they plug leaks everywhere and are at risk of their lives at any time. In this case, the constraints and surveillance they are subject to are completely different from usual. As long as they are willing to do it, it is not difficult to find the opportunity to regain freedom.

After half a month of careful observation and careful study, Weiss was able to understand some of the basic Norman commands. Thanks to this, when he heard a Norman officer assigned a soldier to a frontier position to deliver emergency medicine and use a stretcher to remove the seriously injured, he seized the opportunity to squeeze into the greeted peddler. The Norman soldier who led the team gathered 12 peddlers and hurriedly took them away. During this process, the foreman of Weiss's peddler team did not notice that he was missing such a special peddler.

The whole box of medical supplies was collected from a military warehouse hidden deep underground. The servants followed the leader's soldiers with a panic expression. They first walked through an open area along the traffic trench, but halfway through the road, they were covered with artillery fire. The artillery shells of the Federation Army fell one after another, and the violent explosion scared these servants who had no combat qualities at all. No matter how the leader's soldiers scolded and drove them away, they would no longer move.

Fortunately, this was just a round of rapid scattered artillery fire. Some shells fell nearby. The impact of the explosion shocked people dizzy. The diffuse smoke made people cough. The visual distance was temporarily affected. Weiss seized the opportunity to pick up the box and walked forward quickly. At the first fork, he changed his route decisively and quickly walked along the winding traffic trench for a while, completely leaving the sight of the leader just now.

Taking the first step to regaining freedom, Weiss did not stop, nor could he stop. He deliberately pretended to be in a hurry and moved in the direction of the most intense sound of gunfire along the traffic trench. His plan was to "cooperate inside and outside" when the Federal Army entered the front line of positions, help them remove the firepower points of the Norman army and strive to establish a bridgehead for attack. If the battle situation is not ideal and the Federal Army attacking the positions is repelled by the Norman army, then follow the Federal Army to withdraw from the fortress area and provide the enemy's defense situation he has detected in the past few days to the Federal Army commander.

The servient men who worked for the Norman army wore uniform overalls, with this dirty outfit and a medicine box carried on their shoulders, Weiss was able to travel unimpeded in the trenches where the Norman soldiers came and went. At that time, the ground attack of the Federal Army had sounded the horn. The Normans had to be wary of attacks from the air, but also resisted the federal army, and rescued the wounded and dispatched the troops. They were already very busy. Who had time to care about a servient men who seemed to be transporting supplies to the position?

As he walked, Weiss came to the rear entrance of a bunker, which had four shooting holes that could cover the hemisphere shooting circle directly in front of him. He heard the Normans' machine cannon roaring, but the lack of machine gun sound does not mean that there is no machine gun, it may be because the target is still outside the range of the machine gun.

Weiss was about to climb the trench and see what was going on ahead when he suddenly heard someone shouting coldly in Norman language: "Hey, who are you?"

The questioner was a Norman officer who was holding an injured companion. Seeing this, Weiss hurriedly replied: "Medical service! Medicine!"

After saying that, he also pointed to the medical box carrying it on his shoulder, which was marked with eye-catching medical symbols.

"Give it to me!"

The Norman officer gave instructions to Weiss in an orderly tone, while asking his injured companion to sit in the trench. Weiss obediently put down the medicine box and deliberately squatted there stupidly. The injured guy was also an officer. His head was wrapped in bandages, his shoulders and chest were wet with blood, and his eyes were half open, with a little blank look.

The Norman officer who asked Weiss to put down the medicine box pulled out the short sword, pried open the wooden box in a few seconds, took out the hemostatic cotton and bandage from it, and quickly wrapped it around his companion's head several times, tied it up, and then treated the wound on his body. Weiss stretched his neck and saw a piece of shrapnel the size of a finger embedded on the guy's shoulder. According to the routine of the TV series, should the Norman officer help his companion pull out the shrapnel on the spot. The tools used by the short sword are enough. Of course, he had to burn it with fire before taking action. In fact, he bent down and bit the shrapnel out directly with his teeth. The blood of his companion immediately splattered half of his face, but he did not care, immediately pressed the wound with the hemostatic surface and tied up layers of bandages.

Weiss squatted here, not to take the first aid course in the field. The Norman officer was concentrating on treating his companions' wounds. His short sword was thrown to the ground, and his gun was exposed to Weiss's position at his fingertips, and the buckle on the gun holster was still loose...

If we take action now, Weiss will be 90% sure to capture the gun and complete the double kill, but he is not Rambo, nor is he the Terminator. Next, he only has one percent chance to sweep the Norman soldiers in the fortress, and one thousandth chance to survive until the federal army attacks, so he chose to continue to wait and see and wait for a more appropriate opportunity.

Hearing the crisp and coherent machine gun sounding outside the trench, Weiss stood up. The trench here was dug very deeply and it was not enough to see on tiptoe. Seeing that the Norman officer accidentally stopped him, Weiss climbed up the wall of the trench and poked his head out to take a quick look.
