Chapter 356 Evacuation

The Magic Empire advance team is evacuating in an orderly manner. From the sky, you can see a thin, yellowish and white river flowing on the ground.

That is the advance team evacuating from their own defense base back to the camp.

After arriving at the portal station, the team settled down outside the city wall. Under the aiming of the precision shooter on the sentry post, they were divided into teams to reach the portal and pass through the gate.

The seventh general advance team, with a total of 23,000 people, a total of 9,700 people were killed or missing.

About 13,000 people are left.

The advance investigation mission failed.

These 13,000 people need to be transferred in batches, one or two people at a slow speed to the other side of the portal.

To show respect, Ji Lin met with the senior leaders of the advance team - it is necessary to give the opponent the most basic respect, and it would be better if this prevented the opponent from making any moves in the future.

No commander of the advance team expressed any objection, and they only discussed how to evacuate and which team to evacuate first at the meeting.

The conclusion was that the third advance team, which was under the greatest pressure, would evacuate first, followed by the first advance team - and finally the fifth advance team/garrison defense force was led by the commander-in-chief.

They did not discuss the need to hand over their heavy weapons as the losing party, and no one was crazy enough to want to stay in this unfamiliar place and fight guerrilla warfare without any supplies.

Since they had completely failed and even the portal was controlled by the enemy, they would not be so magnanimous.

Under the supervision of the officers, the third advance team at the defense node abandoned all the baggage in the camp and set off with only basic personal equipment and light equipment.

The loss of heavy equipment was not fatal to the imperial army. A considerable part of their heavy units were monster infantry (tree people, armored trolls), and war mages who were the core combatants.

The baggage left in the entire camp was completely received by the territory army.

In Ji Lin's plan, most of the heavy equipment would be transported back to the territory for reverse research, and a small part of the heavy equipment would be handed over to the local people.

He gently signed his name on the confirmation of seized equipment, which was the equipment statistics report handed to him by the officers after the statistics.

Outside the window, a few wisps of smoke rose. The exhausted line infantry urgently needed to replenish their forces after setting up camp.

It will take some time for the advance team to completely evacuate. During this time, they will be responsible for the management of these soldiers.

And this responsibility is the responsibility of the officers, who are responsible for allocating sufficient food.

The territory already has a team of gradually mature and well-educated company-level officers. In many cases, they can handle some temporary matters in the war zone for the political affairs team.

This is not their strong point, and the officers can do it.

Every officer in the territory must receive the highest level of education in the territory to ensure that they are technical officers-the characteristics of long-term technical officers are also used on these officers.

Combining the two, a new characteristic emerges in the list of characteristics of the territory army.

The officers of the territory also made great contributions in the field repair of a large number of steam structures in these fields... Under normal circumstances, there would not be so many damaged equipment due to various reasons for them to practice without any scruples.

[Technical Officers Corps: The army has a team of officers who can quickly adapt to and use weapons of various technical levels. Each officer has received sufficient maintenance and technical training. Officer training time is shortened. ]

[Inter-war adaptability optimization: The reliability of subordinate heavy units is increased by 20%. I think, if we replace the original parts with some parts, then this machine can move two more steps when it can move... It is more adaptable to the situation on this battlefield. ]

[Adaptability technology principle: When replacing new weapons of the same type, the adaptation time is -33%. Magic rifle? Ordinary rifle? Forget it, they all look like rifles. ]

[Coordinated maintenance command: Mechanical unit maintenance cost -20%, repair time -33%. Damn, where is the missing part here? Who saw my wrench? 】

[If you let me choose, I will never continue to repair those damn machines, absolutely! 】

Ji Lin put away the pen tip and put it in the pen tray on the desktop. The progress of the officer corps made him happy and wanted to open a bottle of champagne immediately.

But there are other problems waiting for him to deal with.

"You mean, you want to stay here?"

Ji Lin looked at the human mage standing in front of him, acting very restrained.

It was he who provided the dean with a full set of research materials on magic rifles, and at the same time hoped that Ji Lin could protect the lives of these prisoners of war in exchange for handing over some spells to the territory.

He showed his own interests. Those spellcasting techniques from the Magic Empire will become valuable assets of the territory for a long time - these techniques are even more important for Li Yan and Fang Ai who cooperate with him.

According to the regulations, all of them must be repatriated.

"In fact, it's not just me. Three of us, one elf and seven humans want to stay here."

The human mage smiled bitterly.

"We are already a group of useless people. The Magic Empire does not need mages who can't cast spells."

This is not impossible.

But Ji Lin would not want these people to stay in this world. The score deduction is one aspect, and the subsequent problems are another.

"If possible, the Skitarii will help you recover some of your spellcasting."

In return for your cooperation, some of the invaders' knowledge crystals were distributed to the local civilizations in this world.

As for whether this technology transfer is good or bad, the system did not stop it. It believes that this technology spread will eventually push civilization to a higher level.

But that will only be because of the technology itself, not the way of spreading technology.

Ji Lin rubbed his eyebrows.

Obviously, the other party is the invader, why does he feel that he is the evil party now.

There is not so much justice in the world of interests, and he must also maintain a moral concept that makes himself feel relatively better.

Although the knight class and the mage class in this world are not much better than the invaders.

This is not for the enemy, but for myself, so that my mental state will not be unbalanced in death and fighting.

"I will follow my promise to you at the beginning and send you back to your world."

Please go back.

Ji Lin looked at the empty parliament hall. This should have been a place for the elves to discuss. After he occupied it, he directly requisitioned this place with excellent observation vision as his temporary office.

He closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair to rest. Alicia leaned over and gently hugged his shoulders.

————

The evacuated army was pulled into a long line. The line infantry lowered their heads and looked at the soldiers in the distance holding rifles that were completely different from theirs.

Stop your steps.

Every soldier saw what the enemy fighting them in these rooms was, and they were humans like them.

Iron-gray steam mechanical structures stood guard like statues in front of the city gates. These one-story-high mechanical units used their pupils to observe the humans passing by them.

Iron pots were set up to cook meals for the new soldiers.

The line infantry looked at the arrogant supervisors who had to bow their heads under the enemy's front and line up with them to receive the same meals.

Seeing the supervisors suffer.

The line infantry felt a little happy.

"Don't stand there, bring the bowl over quickly."

The officer scolded, and the line infantry immediately stood up as if in response to the stress reaction and handed over the iron bowl on his body.

The war for the line infantry has come to an end.

Maybe there will be a new war.
