Chapter 141: After the War
"Kill!"
"For the faith of God, for the glory of the warriors!"
"Kill all the unbelievers!
"Don't be afraid, those who advance can go to heaven, and those who retreat can only go to hell!"
"The Warlord is right behind, whoever dares to retreat, kill!"
"The Bishop said that even if everyone is defeated and all are killed in battle, the fortress will be taken!"
Amidst all kinds of shouts, countless soldiers in the Legion of Light rushed towards the fortress in front.
It's like a stud on the gambling table, this wave, the Legion of Light, bet all the chips!
This instantly put great pressure on the defenders inside the fortress.
Too much.
There are indeed too many enemies!
Not only is there a lot of them, but the strength level is also very high.
Because the total number of 70,000 Holy Knights, plus the 30,000 Holy Mage Regiment, plus some stronger bishops and elders, also joined the siege operation, and the strength of many bishops and elders is completely comparable to the legendary mage, and there are still thousands of people.
With the strength of the defenders in the fortress, it is really a little irresistible.
Even if there are 100 legendary mages sent by the Magic Association in the fortress, who can unleash a wide range of super magic attacks, but the number of masters of the same level on the other side is ten times or dozens of times that of their own, how can they deal with it when they rush together?
"Fire, fire with all your might!"
"Rocket launch!"
"Call the bombers, call the bombers, and carry out another wave of carpet bombing!"
"We can't stop it, we can't resist it!"
"Why haven't the bombers come yet? The enemy has climbed the wall!"
"Request for support, request for support, the defense platform in the west corner of the fortress is about to fall, if there is no support to come, it will fall!"
"Ahh
"The West Corner Defensive Stand has fallen, and the 3rd Defensive Team has died en masse!"
"The defense platform in the northwest corner of the fortress also fell, and the 5th defense team also died en masse!"
"The southwest defense platform is also going to be unstoppable, can I retreat?"
"Retreat, the rear command headquarters calls, you can retreat in an orderly manner, the fourth group of bombers will provide us with cover, the 9th defensive team with the smallest loss will be the rear of the palace, if you successfully block the enemy for 30 minutes, you can retreat on your own, and the other teams must not panic!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Unstoppable.
This fortress, which had successfully held back the main force of the Legion of Light for more than three months, was finally unable to resist before the Legion of Light's frantic attack at all costs.
Indeed, the weapons and ammunition in the fortress are sufficient, such as high-powered sniper rifles and hand-cranked machine guns, which can reap the enemy's lives like mowing grass, and rocket artillery can even wash the floor in a small area.
Coupled with the bomber group in the sky, theoretically speaking, in the face of such firepower, the vast majority of soldiers are still armed with cold weapons to fight the Bright Legion, and its weapons and equipment are not at all in the same era, in the face of high rate of fire, high-power hot weapons, any cold weapon troops, no matter how many they are, will be reduced to ashes in the sea of bullets and fire.
However, the combination of these hot weapons and weapons still has certain flaws in the face of the dense charge of the high-level forces of the Legion of Light.
High-powered sniper rifles struggle to hit objects moving at high speeds.
The hand-cranked machine gun is relatively bulky, requires multiple people to operate, and after thousands of rounds of ammunition, the barrel must be replaced, the heat dissipation is dissipated in time, and the fire continuity is not particularly strong.
The rocket launchers are extremely powerful, but they are troublesome to reload, and it takes half an hour to unleash a wave of attacks.
As for the bomber group, since the airfield is hundreds of miles away, 300 bombers, after every three waves of carpet bombing, if they want to carry out a second round of three waves of bombing, they have to wait at least two hours.
In other words, even if the firepower has been dense to a terrifying level, in the face of the frantic attack of the Legion of Light, the firepower of the fortress of the "Godless Alliance" is still not terrifying enough.
Secondly, in terms of power, whether it is a high-powered sniper rifle, a hand-cranked machine gun, a rocket launcher or even a bomber, the power is still not enough.
Especially when facing holy mages and paladins above level eight and nine, the power is not enough.
Because a ninth-level holy mage can completely compete against a legendary mage.
A level 9 paladin who can defeat a Juggernaut.
This is like thousands of legendary mages and sword masters, moving together at a speed of tens of meters per second, not only can they fly short distances, but they can also jump dozens of meters high, a ninth-order spell is equivalent to a powerful giant bombshell, and a sword of the sword master can cut off a hundred meters of mountain...... At the same time, in the face of thousands of such high-end forces, no matter how advanced the weapons are, the power is still insufficient.
This is the reason why this fortress is equipped with hundreds of legendary mages and a large number of Juggernauts.
It's just that under the frantic attack of the Legion of Light, in the face of dozens of times the high-level force, retreating is a helpless choice.
So, after most of the day's resistance.
In front of the 2 million Legion of Light, the fortress that held out for a total of 99 days finally fell after paying a heavy price.
After retreating to another fortress three hundred miles to the southeast.
Make an inventory of the personnel.
5,974 people were confirmed killed, 1,853 were seriously wounded, and less than 4,000 were intact...... It can be said that the casualties have exceeded sixty percent.
And what about the Legion of Light?
In this offensive and defensive battle, what was the loss of the Legion of Light?
The high-level of the Legion of Light, after ordering someone to make an inventory, looked at the dazzling numbers on the report sheet, Archbishop Obarch and the others collectively fell into a deathly silence.
The specific casualties are as follows:
Killed in each legion: 1,588,000
Number of people disabled: 326,000
Number of people hors de combat due to fear: 191,000
After a synthesis of these data, it was found that after the 99-day fortress attack and defense battle, the total number of the Legion of Light, which numbered more than 3 million, exceeded 2 million, and it was completely reimbursed.
The total casualty rate reached two-thirds, which is also more than sixty percent.
In fact, for the Bright Sect, which is never short of people, an army of 3 million people, even if ninety percent of them are killed, is nothing, after all, most of them are cannon fodder troops, and no matter how large the casualties of cannon fodder are, the high-level leaders of the Bright Sect will not be touched in the slightest.
But the Holy Mage is not cannon fodder!
Paladins are not cannon fodder either!
But in the frantic battle that day, the casualties of the Holy Mage and the Paladin were also extremely heavy!
Among them, 70,000 paladins were killed and 5,000 were crippled in the rain of bullets and fire...... Half of it was reimbursed.
A total of 30,000 holy mages were killed and 2,000 were crippled in the sea of bullets and fire...... A third of the reimbursement was dropped.
Of course, those crippled paladins and holy mages can use the [Great Blessing Technique] released by the ninth-order divine priest to make the severed limbs grow back and regain their combat effectiveness...... However, in front of only one fortress, the loss of 38,000 high-level combat power is really difficult to be optimistic about.
According to intelligence, there are at least 10 other fortresses of this type in the kingdom, and the garrison and defense are almost identical.
There is such a pass three hundred miles to the southeast.
And during this time, the kind of iron bird that flies in the sky and can drop bombs on the side of the "Godless Alliance" has not stopped acting for a day after being exposed to the Legion of Light.
"Boom, boom!"
Hundreds of giant iron birds, washing the floor three times a day, so that the Legion of Light was on the march, killing thousands of people every day.
At this rate, by the time the Legion of Light arrives at the fortress three hundred miles to the southeast, it is estimated that there will not be many people left of the remaining army of more than one million...... The cannon fodder has all been blown up, and all kinds of grain and grass materials will also be turned into ashes in the incendiary bombs.
So, in such a situation, for the Legion of Light, how should the next war be fought?
