Chapter 875 Shrinking and moaning

Since the "Harves" battle ended in a crushing defeat, Vahiri, at the suggestion of Mond, vigorously praised El's heroic deeds in the "Harves" battle, in order to divert the attention of the citizens and ministers and to downplay the fact of the crushing defeat.

It is precisely because Vahiri spared no effort to promote El's heroic deeds that El's name was widely spread in China and even spread abroad.

At present, although El's name has not yet reached the level of household name, it is already known to everyone in the army.

Some ordinary soldiers even knew that a young man named El Bernard made great contributions to being called a hero in the "Harves" battle.

It is precisely because of this that there are many admirers of El in the army now.

And Kuci is one of El's admirers.

It is precisely because of his great admiration and longing for El that he did his best to complete every task assigned by El.

El didn't know how many times he explained to Kuci that he was not a hero. He did not achieve any great results in the "Harves" battle and could not bear the title of "hero".

But Kuci seemed to be "poisoned" by the empire's propaganda, and he firmly believed that El was a hero. The reason why he said that he did not do anything in the "Harves" battle was just modest.

El had no choice but to let Kuci call him a hero if he didn't get into the oil and salt.

El, who didn't want to discuss this topic too much, said vaguely:

"If I really encounter any major crisis, I will do my best."

Speaking of this, El seemed to realize something and quickly added:

"But don't expect too much from me, after all - I'm not a god."

...

...

The 50,000 troops rescued the western battlefield galloped westward.

The Eastern Army of Britannia also marched eastward.

Judging from the direction and direction of the two armies, the 50,000 rescue troops of the Holy Hillan Empire will surely be the first to confront the Eastern Route Army of the Britannian Army.

But everyone in the Eastern Route Army, including Su Cheng, did not know that the Holy Hillan Empire had sent reinforcements to block them.

After taking the position of commander-in-chief of the vanguard, Deng Jiaer spent almost every day conscientiously.

In order not to disappoint Su Cheng and not to let other colleagues think that she is a person who can only rely on relationships to gain power, Deng Jiaer has always tried hard to do everything in the army.

Perhaps Deng Jiaer's efforts have worked. The vanguard troops she led have not encountered any accidents yet.

After taking terrorist measures against Ulan City, the vanguard troops' march became much smoother.

After learning what kind of treatment Ulan City, which had chosen to fight to the end, all the cities east of Ulan City fell in love with each other.

As long as they learn that the Britannian army is approaching, they will immediately open the city and surrender, without even waiting for Deng Jiaer to send them a letter of persuasion to surrender.

It is also thanks to their current affairs that the Eastern Route Army's march speed has become very fast.

In a blink of an eye, the Eastern Army had captured 14 cities, leaving only 10 cities left from Arrier, the capital of the Holy Hillan Empire.

These 14 captured cities were attacked by Deng Jiaer, leading the vanguard troops.

However, although it was an "attack", only the first Ulan City was baptized by the war, and all the 13 cities surrendered obediently.

It is precisely because Deng Jiaer led the vanguard troops to clear all obstacles on the way forward that the main troops led by Su Cheng have not experienced a main force until now, and have remained full and uninjured.

For these cities that chose to surrender obediently, the Britannian army took leniency and only plundered the property in the city without harming the lives of the civilians in the city.

However—the Britannian army was not so kind to those villages along the way.

The village is the key target of this "Aurora" offensive.

Regardless of whether these villages choose to surrender or not, they will be erased from the map...

...

...

"The villagers in this village have also run away..."

Looking at the village without any people in front of him, Darlena murmured.

The vanguard of the Eastern Route Army just met another village.

Since he encountered a village, there was no reason to let it go. Deng Jiaer immediately ordered an attack on the village.

However, after entering this village, I found that the villagers in this village had already run away.

The Britannian army launched a large-scale attack, burning, killing and looting everywhere - such news had long been spread everywhere.

Therefore, since recently, the vanguard troops have rarely encountered such people-dwelling villages.

In order to escape the military disaster, the villagers packed up all the things they could take away early, hid in the nearby mountains, or hid in the nearest city.

After seeing that the villagers of the village in front of him had already run away, Darlena felt a little grateful.

Although their commander had ordered that only the property in the village was allowed to be plundered and the villagers were not allowed to be killed at will, it is still common for soldiers to kill by accident.

Although this village has long been gone, the destruction of this village must continue.

Under the order of coach Deng Jiaer, they first went door to door to search.

Search for the property in the house, and by the way, search for whether there are still living people in the house.

When you encounter property, you will plunder it directly.

When you encounter hoes and other tillage tools, they gather together and destroy them together.

When you meet someone who is still in the village, you will give them some dry food and let them escape.

The reason why these villagers were given a way out is not because they were so kind, they just wanted to leave more refugees and refugees to deal with the Holy Hillan Empire.

The village is very big. In order to save time, even the Delan Immortals where Darlena is located was pulled to search for the property and living people in the village.

After searching, I saw no living person, but there were quite a lot of property, ploughing tools, and livestock.

For these livestock, their treatment is to turn them into food.

As for those tillage tools, just set a fire and destroy them all.

In addition to plundering all the property in the village, they did not forget to destroy the farmlands in the village.

Under the charge of the cavalry, the fertile fields were trampled into wasteland.

While the cavalry were busy, the infantry were not idle either.

The infantry sprinkled tinder into each house.

After each house was sprinkled with tinder oil and the soldiers withdrew from the village, they burned the village into a sea of ​​fire and completely wiped the village from the map.

After the farmland was destroyed and the village was burned, the vanguard troops left swaggeringly and continued to march eastward towards the next city or the next village.

After the vanguard troops left, a rain that was neither too big nor too little suddenly started.

Although the rain was not heavy, it still successfully extinguished the flames of the village.

It’s a pity that the rain came too late, and the village no longer has the prosperity it used to be.

The air is filled with burnt and unpleasant odors.

There are farmland trampled into wasteland everywhere, and burned houses everywhere. Some tiles and brick walls are still blue-black.

A few rays of sunlight pass indifferently through the thick dark clouds, and light dust sprinkles on the tender buds on the grass.
