I was listening to Senior Orlan's introduction to the Nightmare Beasts, when suddenly the adjutant next to Pike exclaimed, "Received an urgent call for help!

It seemed that this news made the adjutant extremely panicked, and he saw that his face was bloodless, and without waiting for Pike's instructions, he continued in a panic: "The 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 94th regiments of the main force of the Southern Defense Line are besieged at Sunset River, and we request nearby corps to go to support!"

This panicked voice was like a cold wave on the Eternal Winter Ice Field, and in an instant, the people in the entire command hall who were in a hurry froze in place, and their faces turned pale little by little. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What?!" Pike's face changed suddenly, "What the hell is going on?"

"No, I don't know!" the lieutenant was about to cry, and said in a panic: "There is no other information from there, only this news for help for the time being, the coalition theater council must have been completely messed up, what can I do now?"

The people around him seemed to finally react, and the room erupted in panic and noise.

"It's all quiet!" Young Pike hammered the magic topographic map in front of him, pulled twice to find the range of the Sunset River, took two deep breaths and said, "Do what you have to do right now!!"

Suppressing the panic in the lower hall, Pike turned back to the adjutant beside him and said, "First go and confirm the truth with the theater council, and then ask for the specific situation! I want the coordinated command record of the four main army corps!"

The lieutenant hurried away, and Pike looked at the magical topographical map with a gloomy face, his brow furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly hearing such news, even though he knew that the dust had already settled on this battle, Mo Lin on the side was still startled, and his heart was pounding and he couldn't help but worry.

The young man hurriedly asked Orlan next to him: "Senior Orlan, what's the matter? Why are those four legions surrounded? Could it be that the chaotic tide has penetrated the southern defense line and surrounded them? Where is the Sunset River, why don't I remember seeing this place name on the southern defense line?"

In order to browse the recorded images of the Battle of the Blood Moon, he had specially memorized the extremely detailed magic map of the entire southern realm, which was much more difficult to remember than ordinary books, which made Merlin fall asleep for most of the day.

However, in comparison, Orlan seemed very relaxed, presumably he already knew these contents when he watched the Augustus record card before, so he slowly explained: "Because the four main legions are not on the defensive line, this matter is a bit complicated to explain, let me tell you roughly:"

"From the experience accumulated in the past tens of millions of years of fighting against chaos, we can know that the chaotic tide we are talking about is very similar to the waves to some extent, in a tide there will be countless waves of different sizes that rise and fall, although the small waves rise and fall and scatter unpredictably, but once there is a large wave, the trajectory of the wave must conform to a certain law, through careful observation and calculation, we can quite accurately judge when the big wave will arrive where, what it will become, and the larger the wave, the more in line with the general law, the more accurate its trajectory and state are judged。 ”

Seeing that Morin nodded in understanding, Oran continued:

"We've developed a defensive tactic – once we find the formation of such a big wave in the chaotic tides, i.e., an exceptionally large herd of nightmare beasts, we tend to take the initiative and snuff out the big wave before it becomes a bigger wave, rather than defending passively on the defensive line. This tactic can greatly reduce the pressure on the defensive line, and there have never been accidents in history. ”

"But ...... accident this time?" asked Morin hesitantly.

"Yes," Orlan nodded solemnly, "This time, according to what I have seen, it should be that the scouts have discovered two huge waves of chaos, and the coalition forces on the southern defense line have had to gather a full four main legions to block them for the first time in history, preparing to break the two waves one after another." Considering the trajectory of the two waves, the battlefield was chosen in the Sunset River Basin, a river far from the light of order, and therefore rarely drawn on Todel's map. ”

"The accident happened here, I don't know which link went wrong, the two waves that I thought should have arrived successively arrived at the Sunset River Valley at the same time, and one of them also cut off the retreat of the coalition forces from the side, and it was too late to react. ”

"Ah?!" Morin lost his voice: "Why is this happening?"

It was later widely believed that the observation and calculation of the wave at the time were biased and that the task was carried out by specialized scholars, who are said to have died in the aftermath of the incident, and that the reconnaissance team in charge of the investigation died in the war out of guilt. Speaking of this, Oran's tone was a little gloomy, and he sighed: "It's true that the consequences are too serious, if it weren't for the siege of the main army this time, this Battle of the Blood Moon wouldn't have been fought so fiercely, and the entire Todder would have been injured......

"Could it be that all four legions have been destroyed?!" Morin couldn't help but ask.

"That's not true," Orlan shook his head: "After all, these four legions are the main legions of the coalition army, and they are all ...... with the strength to fight."

Sure enough, a moment later, I heard the young Pike on the side say in a deep voice to a few people around him: "Since they are besieged in the Sunset River, they must have made a mistake in the calculation of the reconnaissance of the chaotic wave, but in any case, even if they are besieged, it is the strongest of our four legions in Todell, and they can definitely stand firm and rush out." And since the four of them are attacking together, it means that there are no other big waves for the time being, and the southern defense line will not face too much danger, so don't be in a hurry, do your own thing. ”

Hearing Pike's calm analysis, the faces of the other absent-minded people in the command hall finally improved a little.

The magical illusion was not over yet, and the baron was still staring at the topographical map in front of him with a tense face, his brows furrowed.

The adjutant quickly returned and reported to Pike: "The theater council confirms that this news is true, because two waves were discovered in advance, so the rallying corps took the initiative to attack, but the original plan was to break the two waves one after another but was unexpectedly surrounded, and the coalition composed of the main corps had sent back a message for help before being besieged, but at present, because it was surrounded by the chaotic tides, the contact was temporarily interrupted." ”

"Tides of Chaos cause most long-range communication magic to fail. Oran, who was on the side, explained to Morin.

"This is a detailed command record of the previous four corps. The adjutant pulls out a crystal sheet and hands it to Pike, who examines it carefully. The Lange Line was far away from the other major defenses in the south, and there was not much coordination and communication in normal times, and it seemed that Pike had just learned about the assembly of the four main legions.

Morin recalled the map he had read before, and there were several lines of defense in charge of the dead to the southeast of the Lange Line, and then there was the longest mountain range in the south, stretching the towering frost mountains all the way to the vast southern plains, which was the main defense line in the south, and the defense line where most of the main army was stationed was indeed far away from the Lange line guarded by Pike.

But it is not surprising that Daddy Pike also received the news of the call for help, because on the border line, except for a part of the forces of the dead, Daddy should be the closest legion to them.

The Frost Mountains in the middle, though extremely long, did not have many garrisons.

The erosion of the Chaos Tide is also affected by the topography, and even the Chaos Tide cannot be crossed by a mountain range such as the Frost Mountains, which is far above the snow line of the four seasons, and because of the wind currents, even small groups of Nightmare Beasts rarely appear in this mountain range. The only pass was fortified as early as the Second Age, and is now known as the Frost Fortress, although there are not many garrisons, but the beacon fire is long, even if a small group of Nightmare Beasts appear here, they will be blocked by the fortress, and it is impossible to cross this mountain range.

It can be said that the entire Frost Mountains are the safest line of defense in the southern part of Todel.

"I don't know if Daddy will send people to support the main legion coalition. Morin thought: "At such a long distance, if you really go to support, I'm afraid you will have to transfer a large airship, and I don't know how long it will be delayed." ”

"Senior Orlan," he couldn't help but ask, "You looked at the magic topographic map before, the distribution of the strength of the Seventh Legion above, do you think that now my father can still send people to support the main legion?"

"Judging from what I have just observed, there is still a surplus of troops in the Seventh Legion, and if General Pike wants to, he should be able to draw a lot of manpower," Orlan thought for a moment, and was about to continue answering, when he saw that the adjutant next to Pike seemed to have received some information, and the whole person trembled.

"What's wrong?" asked Pike.

I only heard the adjutant report with a bitter face: "I just received the news that the Frost Fortress sent an urgent request for help, saying that a large chaotic wave has been discovered moving towards them, and they are about to face a first-level intensity attack!"

"They say that without support, the Frost Fortress will fall in three days. ”
