Chapter 1073 (1/2)
The situation on the land of Qingyuan seems to be much more serious than Sean thought.
On the day after he and Silan reached an agreement, the sound of a trumpet was heard far before dawn.
As Sean, who had been in the army for a long time, he was no stranger to this voice. However, compared with the songs circulating in the land boundary today, the horn song of floating island is more low and long, and can even hear the history condensed by the precipitation of years.
Then the war began.
This time, it was an attack led by Locke and the rebels. The fortification base just built by Silan had not even had time to install the defense equipment, so he was forced to take part in the battle. This made Silan angrily curse several times, and even suspected that there were traitors in his army. Otherwise, how could Locke choose the perfect time as the attack time.
But Sean thought it was just a coincidence.
Because in this attack, he can feel Locke's obvious eagerness - as an assassin type career, he should not lack patience, and Sean especially believes Locke does not lack these. After all, he has had a hand with Locke before, so he knows that Locke is not a hot headed person. He knows how to use his own advantages to make the war develop in a favorable way.
But this time, Sean didn't feel it from the atmosphere of the battlefield. There was only a kind of fanaticism.
Desperate enthusiasm.
Sean wanted to know what made Locke change, but since he had reached an agreement with Shiran, it was natural to give priority to the content of the agreement. At least, he must lure Locke to Silan, and then kill Locke to complete Silan's behavior of ”brushing his reputation”. Under this premise, whether personal curiosity is satisfied is no longer within Sean's consideration.
So Sean has been out of everyone's sight since the beginning of the war.
His only goal is to find Locke.
It may be difficult for others to distinguish Locke's whereabouts, but it's actually not a problem for Sean. Because the floating island people have different training methods from the local people in practical training, so that they don't know how to perfectly converge their breath. Therefore, it has become a convenient place for Sean with real eyes.
But this time, things didn't change as smoothly as Sean thought.
Because Sean didn't find Locke in the battlefield!
Qingyuan land defense base is a small fortress built with Qingyuan magic transmission array as the core. Although the scale is not large, it is more than enough in terms of the floating large library. Of course, all this is based on the fact that after the completion of the construction of the fortress, more fortress defense equipment can be installed - although the scientific and technological development of the territory is very rapid, some things are not the more advanced the better.
For example, magic crystal cannon.
This is a special cannon invented by gibriel against the gods in the twilight era. With magic spar as the power source, it can launch a shell similar to that of the legendary strong man. Moreover, compared with the legendary strong, they can't keep shooting at their peak all the time, but the magic crystal gun can keep firing a shell every three to five minutes. If you don't consider the service life and the permission of blasting, you can even launch a gun every minute.
Now, in the boundary of the miracle continent, there is no magic crystal gun. There are only ordinary guns. It's OK to deal with ordinary soldiers and the strong above the holy land. This kind of urban warfare equipment is basically a kind of decoration.
Of course, with the emergence and deepening of magic guide technology, magic guide guns will soon appear in the earth - this is the special urban warfare equipment that is really ahead of magic crystal guns.
At present, there are four magic crystal guns in the base in charge of Silan.
According to the plan, the four magic crystal guns will be installed today to guard the four gates of the fortress. In addition, there will be some other urban war equipment also began to be installed. So if everything goes well, the fortress will become a solid fortress in the evening. At that time, no matter how Locke leads the rebels to attack, it is impossible to win the fortress easily.
This is the reason why Shiran will gnash his teeth - Locke's early attack completely disrupted Shiran's plan.
But what is more difficult is that Sean has swept around the wall of the fortress and never found Locke. Moreover, the development of the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the floating Islanders. Originally, there were not many people left in the fortress, because most of them were sent to support Qiufeng plain. The people left in the whole fortress were even less than 100. This was because several vanguards returned, otherwise the number would be less.
But now, with the death of more and more students, the rebels have not only an advantage in number, but even weapons. They are no longer the dilapidated agricultural tools or abandoned rotten weapons. In this way, the rebels who were sentenced to exile because of their ferocity are naturally much more effective than these students.
……
A sharp arrow with a roaring sound like wind and thunder crossed the battlefield hundreds of meters away and pierced the eyebrows of a young student.
The strong impact force even rolled the student's feet off the ground and fell to the ground several meters later.
Dust rose with the breeze of the fallen body.
The young student's face still wore the look of not being angry when he bravely killed the enemy; His right hand always firmly grasped a war knife. Even if he fell to the ground at this time, his right hand still didn't loosen.
It seems that even he didn't react at the moment of death.
”Captain!”
”Captain Foya!”
The sudden blood made the scene a little chaotic.
Several equally young students immediately burst into tears.
This is a small team with less than ten people.
At the beginning of the war, the team was strong enough, and they could kill the rebels on the wall with the benefit of weapons. However, with the passage of time, the loss of physical strength and the loss of personnel, this team, which initially had a size of nearly 20 people, had to start to retreat, and even was once surrounded by rebels who broke through the city gate and attacked from top to bottom.
If not for their captain Foya's decisive decision to abandon their defensive task and fight a bloody path with the rest of the staff, they would have been completely surrounded and annihilated. Nevertheless, after rushing out of the encirclement, there were only 12 or 3 of them left, so they had to change to guerrilla warfare. Unfortunately, in the current trend of failure, the loss of personnel can not be avoided.
