Chapter 586 (1/2)
Clancia, kenzon.
It's been nearly a year since the last time the frost united the magic statue army came to the city. Now the mountain city has changed a lot.
The valley was sealed off by high stone walls with gray and white patches, and the river below had a thick steel fence to block the enemy's advance.
Turrets are distributed above the fortress, and some are also built on both sides of the mountain, overlooking the canyon below.
Now it's early February, and the peaceful mountain and valley has been broken by the extremely noisy war. A metal magic statue, heavily stepping on the broken goose warm stone by the river, points its muzzle at the strong and towering Canyon fortress, and the red magic torrent pours out like no money.
At dusk, many highly compressed magic shells rush in the air. The original spheres are also deformed into ellipses due to compression impact. They fall on the wall and explode violently.
The blown stones and sound spread out, raising a gray dust fog, and then leaving ugly cracks in the fortress.
This time, the magic statue of Jiansong city is not like the old model before. This one with roaring fire on the earth has the lowest level of sequence 4, many of which are equivalent to the elite magic statue of sequence 5. In the rear, there is a series 7 high-level giant magic statue in charge of the battle, which is not easy to move.
Inside Jiansong City, the hidden command point in the fortress.
Several staff officers are moving various signs on the map to quickly discuss the possible situation and opportunity. At the open door, a messenger comes in from time to time to report the current situation. After receiving the response from staff officers and generals, he leaves quickly.
At the end of the discussion, a general in silver gray armor, with a telescope, observes the situation in front of him, and then gives a new order to the waiting messenger.
”Let the cannons on both sides of the mountain stand ready. When the turret in the middle sends out a firing signal, fire together, and strive to kill a large number of enemy demons in the best range.”
”Yes, general SEG!” The soldier immediately walked out of the hidden observation point and gave orders to the hills on both sides.
At this time, the general with strong appearance put down his telescope and looked at another young man in the room with different clothes.
”What does Mr. tug think will be the result of this battle? Is it the same as before, or do we have to give up this fortress? ”
Leaning against the wall, the young mage was keeping his eyes closed. He was wearing a dark blue and white robe, with a badge and a gold chain on his chest.
After hearing the general's inquiry, tug opened his eyes, looked at a huge moving image in the distance, and sighed.
”It's different this time. It seems that frost rose is determined to open the war.”
”You see.” He raised his hand and pointed to the tall statue in the valley, which kept roaring and spraying magic.
”It's the 'resentment-3r' type. This kind of high-level magic image abandons the powerful cannonball and uses the impact torrent of magic infusion processing to shoot, which makes it have a lower demand for logistics. If you continuously rotate the mages above 5, you can attack continuously. Only one magic statue can hold nearly 10 guns, and its defense is also very strong. ”
”Even in ruerna, there were not many such elite and expensive magic statues. They used to stay at the border to defend against the invasion of green. I didn't expect that they would dare to take such a risk this time and send this Legion here as well. ”
”If we keep fighting hard, I'm afraid that the whole soldiers in the fort will die in the blazing current of its bombing.”
Hearing this, SEG's face became more and more dignified. He asked, ”do you have any good suggestions?”
Tug tapped his finger and stopped for a few seconds before answering.
”If the southern air route is not closed now, we can ask those powerful armored dragons to help us and destroy these statues. But now... We have no good way. Now we can use too little power to destroy these solid statues under the heavy artillery fire.”
”Therefore, I suggest that we prepare for the retreat in advance and try to transfer the soldiers in the fortress to avoid unnecessary casualties.”
”Back, back again.” SEG angrily smashed his fist on one side of the wall and gritted his teeth.
In the last retreat, many people he knew and knew died in the battle. I didn't expect that two years later, it is still this result. What are the fortresses and defenses that I have worked hard to build over the past two years? The familiar faces of the past appeared in his mind, which made him feel sad.
Was it all in vain? He couldn't accept the result. He hit the stone wall heavily with his fist, one after another.
Several staff officers on one side were also surprised by his momentum. They stopped the previous discussion and looked at the general who was out of control.
As time went by, the sound of gunfire from the outside world continued. After a long time, the general took a deep breath and turned around.
”I'm sorry to make you laugh. I didn't control my mood well.” His eyes were red and his voice was hoarse.
”Nothing.” Tug shook his head slightly to show that he didn't mind. He understood the general's feelings.
Since arriving in new Vega and clancia, he has seen more than once those brave and respectable soldiers die on the battlefield. These people may have never left their hometown before, and they do not know those strange compatriots, but they are willing to give their lives and fight for their homeland and dignity for the sake of today's country.
In the army, these comrades in arms who have experienced life and death together have deep feelings, which can't be compared with those temporarily recruited soldiers from other countries.
”If we still have to retreat in the end, what do you think we should do to give each other the most damage and block for a longer time?” He asked again.
”About this...” tug pushed the glasses on his nose, opened the thick book with blue and white shell in his hand, took up the pen and began to sketch and calculate the drafts.
After that, they discussed with several staff members in the room and finally made detailed plans.
————
The difference between the orderly clancia defenders is that frost Rose's attack is much faster.
Hot torrents cut through the sky and flooded the shooting ports on the fortress. Then, under the cover of some cheap earth rock demons, a soldier of frost alliance began to approach the lower part of the fortress. With the help of the rope ejected by the demons, they climbed up the stone wall of the fortress, and their feet were still wearing special shoes to prevent slipping.
These elite soldiers carry mechanical blunderbuss and swords with them, turn into the collapsed shooting holes one by one, and take advantage of this to enter the inner tunnel of the fortress, ready to directly attack the Garrison Artillery and kill the fragile enemy inside.
”It was a success at last.” Behind the frost Union, a 20-year-old woman put down her telescope and said happily.
Her name is Hedley. She is the commander of the Legion of demons, and she is also the leader of the younger generation of the alchemy faction ”flame of black and red”. Although he is only 28 years old, he has reached the level of magic sequence 7, and is favored by all parties. He thinks that he may go to the extreme of magic sequence 9.
This time she went to the battlefield for the first time to command the battle. Even though she was born in a famous family and had extraordinary strength, but she could not attack for a long time, it still made her feel upset.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, this is a rare genius, not only graduated from ermenas, but also the legitimate daughter of the leader of the rurnas faction, with a bright future. But she also has to face the competition of many better peers.
I don't know why. In the past few years, many rare talents have emerged in various countries. At the same age, they are more dazzling and powerful than previous generations.
”After I go back this time, I must beat the face of tirela, who dares to rob a man with me.”
She looked at the distant fortress in a shooting hole burst out sparks, and then return to silence, face grinning tilt. Recalling the genius of the same age with a seductive figure, she began to imagine how to become the boss of the other side by virtue of her military exploits, and then wantonly suppress the other side.
”Ha ha ha, tirela, I'd like to see what you can be praised for except your appearance of seducing men. Isn't it that you were promoted to magic series 7 one year earlier than me? I'll tear your hypocritical mask and let you show your true appearance.”
As a genius who graduated from the same college in the same year as tirela, their relationship can be described as bad. Although Hedley's family is powerful, more people prefer the gentle and understanding tirela. And every time people around to defend tirela, will let Hedley to its more resentment a point, think it is blocked his glory.
