Chapter 198: Battle 1
The sky was overcast, and the large black clouds were pressed very low, and even the firelight on the ground could be clearly reflected on it, forming a winding blood-red pattern, like a flowing river of blood. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the earth, the two armies are engaged in a desperate battle, the eyes of the soldiers who participate in the battle have long been stained red with blood, the enemy's, comrades' or their own, the fate is divided in front of them, killing the enemy or being killed, there is no third choice.
The two sides involved in the war are the alliance of nobles and the army of darkness, and now the war has entered the most brutal stage of strangulation.
The two sides were divided into dozens of squads in the middle of the battlefield, and they were entangled with each other, like a mess, and at first glance they seemed to be chaotic. If the direction of the development of the previous war situation is followed, the superior in this kind of war situation has lost the ability to effectively control the army, and can only continue to invest one chip after another, until one side can finally no longer bear it.
Only today seems to be different, for those noble lords who are on a slippery mound on the edge of the battlefield, and can only watch the dynamics of the battlefield in amazement, the battlefield scene they see has completely subverted their preconceived notions.
It was a battle of incomparably precise sequences of attack and defense, and the aristocratic army, which was much weaker in overall strength, became the dominant side of the attack, and instead firmly suppressed the more powerful and fearless dark army. When the aristocratic coalition attacked, the attack point selected each time was concentrated and deadly, the rhythm was appropriate, and the defense was tacitly coordinated, and the friendly forces covered each other like flowing water, so that the dark army had stronger warriors, better equipment and more bloodthirsty will to fight, but could not exert itself, but was always led by the nose of the aristocratic coalition army, under such a battle situation, the dark warriors continued to fall to the ground, and the casualty ratio has risen to an extremely dangerous point.
Such a situation was unimaginable before the war.
These noble lords who grew up here can be noble, they can be despicable, they can be merciful, they can be brutal, but they are never incompetent, and they can be regarded as proficient in the knowledge of warfare, because this is the basis for them to survive in this cruel world, so they can see more clearly what is happening in this battle? Why did this army, which brought together its own familiar subordinates, become so unfamiliar? So powerful?
This is no longer a simple difference in combat power, but an art of how to better concentrate forces to destroy the enemy in a specific space. In this war, the performance of the aristocratic alliance is like dancing a deadly and perfect war dance, everywhere it goes, the battle formations of the dark army are simply full of loopholes, and the strength of the group is suppressed to the lowest point, and can only resist with individual bravery, and then be crushed by the enemy's group strength one by one.
And as for what caused this to happen, the noble lords present all knew it.
From time to time, their gaze was cast not far behind them. There, more than a dozen translucent mirrors float in the air, reflecting every detail of the battlefield from all angles. At the back, there is a huge holographic map of the battlefield on a long table, in which the situation of friend and foe constantly changes in real time with the change of battlefield data, and the staff officers composed of multiple personnel are constantly passing new orders to the on-site combatants to command according to this information, and if anyone on the earth sees this, they will definitely exclaim, "Isn't this a real-time strategy game?" ”
Of course, these indigenous nobles don't understand this, they only understand how much this spell given to its followers by the god called the Lord of Radiance can increase the strength of war.
"Attention Viscount Bogda's 3rd Squadron, the enemy is about to attack from your right, please immediately step back ten meters in the direction of five o'clock, and pay attention to the friendly forces on your left side."
"Attention to the first, second, and fifth squads of Baron Hughes, pay attention to the defense on the spot after starting the assault six meters in the direction of ten o'clock, and start the countdown, 10, 9...... 1, 0, go! ”
"Attention to the Baron Ain cluster, the enemy in the direction of your seven o'clock will be chaotic in thirteen seconds, prepare to attack, then there will be allies from the left 35 degrees direction to cooperate with you to flank the enemy, the attack route map has been transmitted, please confirm if you receive it."
"Sir Cassinac Squadron, update the first order, please continue to detour in the direction of seven o'clock, mark the enemy troops who are about to follow the retreating friendly forces to highlight the battle line, please be ready to attack the marked weak points, you have twenty-one seconds to complete the detour and start the countdown......"
……
The main body of the staff is a group of sacrificials wearing linen robes, they continue to informatize various feedback into orders to pass on to the soldiers who are fighting in the battlefield, as if controlling the battle situation on the front line like a puppet, making the operation of the entire aristocratic coalition like a sophisticated machine, and the commanders who are subordinate to the nobles can only learn while groping on the side, they are very at a loss for this unprecedented way of warfare, and the valuable battlefield experience in the past seems to have lost all its role. The meaning of their standing here is more like showing a sense of presence.
"This is information warfare." Chen Peng's projection stood next to a person who was in the same robe as those sacrifices, but the color was white and wore a hood to hide his face in the shadows, and said lightly: "As long as ten auxiliary priests who can use second-level divine arts are united, they can support a war of less than two thousand people, and in the case that the enemy has no effective countermeasures, the improvement and suppression of the combat power of both the enemy and us can make the final combat power reach an overwhelming advantage." It's a pity that I went astray at the beginning, focusing too much on the improvement of individual combat power, and the development speed was delayed by at least nearly one-third, which is still under the premise of Adelaida to lead. Chen Peng was blunt about the mistakes he made.
After he obtained the source power, because the incredible extraordinary power of the Iris people brought him too deeply, most of his energy and attention after that were focused on the ability improvement of the transcendent individual, especially after encountering the crisis of Fogjack, and the way he intervened in the fragment plane after that was also deeply affected.
Originally, he felt that he had chosen the right course, and that the effective improvement he could feel every day confirmed his point, and he also came up with several flashy ways to use his power, but it was not until he was easily subdued by 47 in Moscow and proved that his power was completely useless, that he realized that the progress he thought he had made was actually only his personal delusion. Afterwards, after repeated research and continuous thinking, he realized that he had gone in the wrong direction at the beginning, and had completely failed to understand the essence of the source force, which was not used in this way.
Source power is the purest essential power of the universe, the key to the origin of the universe, and using it to fight directly is like using pure gold to make weapons to kill people, stupid and wasteful.
In front of him is one of the results he has achieved after revising the direction of his research - the magic called the matrix. After using this kind of god, his sacrifice will temporarily become a sub-server-like existence, and the front information will be obtained by the warriors who are temporarily linked to the spirit of the sacrifice after the cast, and then transmitted to the half-plane as the main server, and after the calculation of AI Yugong, the results will be turned back to the sacrifice there, and then specifically distributed to the soldiers on the front line, thus forming an information warfare system that belongs to this era of cold weapons.
And the Matrix Divine Technique is not only one form, as the level of the use of the sacrifice itself increases, there will be more and more effective functions, such as the number of people who can expand the number of spiritual links, instant calls like mobile phones, link communication like sharing radar scans, and even instant holographic maps in the minds of friendly soldiers, etc.
The significance of the appearance of this divine technique to the power established by Chen Peng in this fragment plane is self-evident, not to mention that the matrix divine technique itself is a simplified version of the disintegration in order to take care of these sacrifices with insufficient energy levels, and on the real earth, Chen Peng has been able to complete this entire process on his own, and even more powerful.
"Praise be to you, my God." The white-robed man whispered in awe, "It's not too late to be greater than what you have bestowed. ”
"It's not too late. You've done a great job, you've proven your worth and I'm looking forward to what you're going to do next. Chen Peng nodded, a smile on his face. Only he could see that in addition to completing the divine tasks of the priests, the half-plane also passed a copy of the optimized data backup to him, and every minute and every second made the database he owned more fleshed out and perfect.
The figure under the clothes was graceful and undulating, and the white-robed man, who was obviously a woman, respectfully retreated more than ten meters, glanced at the battlefield with murderous intent, and sighed lightly, the timbre was euphemistic and long, and this sigh alone would make people feel a sense of elegance and peerlessness.
"It's spectacular, and it's pathetic." The last four words were almost inaudible, and they quietly disappeared in the sighs, without a trace.
"Huh? What did you say? Next to the place where the white-robed man came was a noble woman dressed in hunting costume, and she turned her head to look a little puzzled. She turned a blind eye to the existence of Chen Peng's projection, as if she couldn't see it at all.
In fact, Chen Peng's projection is small and the information transmission is safe, but the corresponding thing is that only creatures with a very high level of energy or high-level members of the church who belong to him can see him and communicate with him on this fragment plane, and obviously the aristocratic woman in front of him does not belong to either.
"I mean our military." The white-robed man smiled softly, and it was extremely natural to cover up Chen Peng's existence. Compared with the humility in front of Chen Peng, when facing the natives of this world, her attitude is immediately different.
"It's truly spectacular." The aristocratic woman nodded in agreement, "It's simply breathtaking, I think I can only describe this scene as a miracle." ”
From a man's point of view, this is a tall, plump and gentle young woman, although there are already subtle wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but a pair of blue eyes are still looking forward to shining, especially her hunting suit has been reworked, there are many more complex and gorgeous decorations, the clothes are close to show the curves of Miaoman, and the neckline is particularly large, some tend to be the noble women's costumes at the ball, revealing the snow-white towering full.
Of course, in the eyes of the white-robed man, the clothes of this female noble lord have signs of wear and tear in many corners that are not easy to attract attention, especially under some fur decorations, there are actually some ugly patches, and it is obvious that her actual living environment is not as glamorous as it seems.
In fact, there was a similar situation with other nobles. This fragment plane is very scarce in resources, and it is facing continuous wars, even the survival of nobles will not be high, and they can only barely maintain their superficial brilliance.
"The so-called miracle is nothing but a natural answer to the necessary conditions." The white-robed man looked at the aristocratic woman, and the change of direction caused the lower half of her hood to be invaded by a little light, revealing a delicate chin and seductive red lips, "After this battle, I believe that your territory will become another name for miracles, do you say?" Sir Helena? ”
"Can I take it as a promise?" Hereditary Sir Helena Bopp Edin Delkan chuckled and pulled out a feather fan to cover the bottom half of her face as if she were attending a ball.
"Of course, the Church remembers who first extended a hand of friendship to us, and in return, we are willing to share the glory of our God." The white-robed man paused, and then said slowly, "As long as the place you are standing in is still by our side." ”
"I have no doubt in the power of the Radiant Lord." Helena's eyes were glowing and pleasant, "But as mortals, we always have some unnecessary worries to deal with. Why don't you like this, I happen to have some good wines in my winery that have been preserved for decades and are ready to taste them, so I wonder if I would be lucky enough to invite you to taste them? ”
"Of course, that's my pleasure." The white-robed man smiled, her laughter was not as pleasant as a girl's silver bell, but it had a different kind of magnetism, like the gentle chanting of a fairy in the wind, sultry and heartwarming.
"Hehe, then I'll wait for your visit." Helena smiled as she hid her face in a ladylike manner.
The two women looked at each other and smiled, and it became an eye-catching scenery here.
The conversation here was very happy, but the mood of those nobles not far away was a little complicated.
At first, when they learned that Helena was working with the group of outcasts, they laughed at Helena, thinking that the courage of women as leaders was really not good, and that the Aydinderkan family was probably going to disappear in this generation, and even when Ser Helena came to join the coalition with the sacrificial group of gods that popped out of nowhere, they were very repulsive about it.
In their eyes, those lowly people are not qualified to be ranked with their nobles who have been passed down from generation to generation, especially the so-called church, where such people have also appeared, bringing the power and light of the so-called gods, but in the end, it is not dust to dust, everything is gone?
Just as these nobles have been taught for hundreds of thousands of years - we are nobles, we have our own territory, we are well prepared, we are natural rulers.
Under this mentality, the attitude of these traditional nobles towards these sacrifices can be imagined, and even Sir Helena, who was originally one of them, was also excluded, and was in an embarrassing position to stand aside in the coalition from the beginning.
This continued in the early days of the war, and it was not until the tide of the battle reached a head-to-head phase that the nobles realized that every ounce of their strength had to be used in order to survive, and the soldiers of Helena and the Church were finally able to join the fray.
Contrary to the imagination of the nobles, it was originally just a consumable that they thought it was, but when these soldiers belonging to Helena, who were blessed with divine magic, participated in the battle, they immediately showed their combat ability far beyond the friendly army, and even suppressed the dark army they faced, and became the pillar of the coalition to avoid collapse several times, which is extremely eye-catching among the noble coalition forces that are generally passively beaten.
The real record made Helena jump from the original marginal position to become a star among the lords, and the voice of the lord increased greatly, and Helena also took the opportunity to start to win over the relatively weak group of nobles, and promoted the war model of cooperation between the traditional aristocratic army and sacrificial gods, intending to divide the noble group.
As for the purpose of Helena's approach, the leaders of those aristocratic groups saw it clearly, but now that everyone was an ally and the powerful dark army was in front of them, they didn't dare to take drastic measures to break up the coalition army, so that the situation would collapse directly, and everyone would finish the game together. But it was impossible to let Helena increase her influence and split the original aristocratic group, so the secret contest quietly began.
Originally, the nobles thought that the opponent was Helena, but they didn't pay attention to the church. It is true that the church has shown their strength through the battlefield, but the secret battle between the nobles is a completely different battlefield, and the knowledge required is not at all that the new church with the homeless tenants as the main body can understand in a short time, and only the nobles can fight against the nobles in this aspect.
But after a battle, those nobles were dumbfounded again, because they completely misunderstood their real opponents.
Just when they were focusing on Sir Helena, the inconspicuous white-robed envoy of the church who had been silently following Helena had quietly appeared on the stage, and when the nobles noticed, a small but strong enough new noble alliance with Helena as the core had been quietly born, and this was all the handiwork of the white-robed envoy.
Looking back at the information that had been ignored before and spending great efforts to investigate deeply, the nobles found that the white-robed envoy had used Helena's cover to skillfully and skillfully use various means such as wooing, dividing, squeezing out, and cooperating to establish a perfect network of relationships from scratch in a very short period of time, and relying on this network to extend to all aspects of the coalition army. The subtlety of the means displayed in this process, the prudence of thought, it can be said that they have turned the combination of vertical and horizontal under the rules of the nobility into an art, and they are even more like a real nobleman than them, which can't help but make them doubt the true identity of this white-robed envoy who has no real face.
Could it be some long-standing family member or simply one of them?
Of course, that's all for later. The reality is that some of the nobles in the coalition have joined forces with Helena's army to participate in the battle under unified command and divine blessings, and in this case, the nobles in charge of the coalition have found that they can no longer control the situation.
Under normal circumstances, the overall combat power of the Dark Soldiers is three to four percent stronger than that of the Coalition Soldiers, but if it is a team battle, in fact, the Noble Coalition must have more than twice the strength to fight the Dark Army. Therefore, the norm on the battlefield is often that the dark army with fewer people is beaten to the death by the noble coalition army, and the aristocratic coalition army can only hold its head and be beaten until the losses of both sides reach a certain level, and then they will collect their troops and prepare for another battle. It's consumed again and again, and you can't stand it first.
After Chen Peng's priests intervened, this situation was reversed, and the same number of allied soldiers were fully able to withstand the attacks of the same number of dark soldiers with the blessing of divine arts, and as the number of soldiers increased, the superior scale would tilt in the direction of the allied forces and increase geometrically with the further expansion of numerical superiority.
As soldiers fighting on the front line, they are the most sensitive to this kind of change -- their gray-faced companions, who were beaten by the dark army on the opposite side like themselves a few days ago, suddenly pressed and beat the opposite side with high spirits as if they had been drugged, while they continued to be beaten in disgrace -- this really made them have mixed feelings in their eyes.
With these exemplary effects, there is no need for Helena and the church to push them later, and the soldiers on the front line will naturally strongly ask to cooperate with the church to obtain divine blessings. In this regard, the nobles in the rear could only hope that the knights in command at the front would be able to control this trend of thought, lest Helena and the Church side turn against the guest and gain the dominance of the coalition forces.
It's just that they are doomed to disappointment, because they underestimate the appeal of hope to these lower classes of people who have been struggling in darkness and despair for hundreds of years.
As a result, three "too loyal" knights inexplicably died in battle, after which the remaining knights began to turn a blind eye to potential undercurrents.
By this time, the nobles had completely lost control of the situation under internal and external difficulties, and the military command was taken by the temporary staff with the sacrificial group as the core.
At this point, the war situation came to a turning point.
After obtaining unified command, the combat effectiveness of the aristocratic coalition army immediately underwent a earth-shaking change, and finally converted the overall numerical advantage into an actual combat power advantage, began to accumulate victories, and gained the initiative on the battlefield, if nothing else, the defeat of the dark army in front of it was already expected.
In this situation, a large part of the attention of the nobles was no longer on the outcome of the war, but on the aftermath. After this battle, Chen Peng's church has become a general trend, and the threat of the dark army has not been completely eliminated, well-informed people know that this time they are facing nothing more than the killing army of the four dark lords, it can be said that the future situation will only be more severe, in this situation, where the nobles should go, what to do with them is enough to worry them.
But in any case, Helena, who took the lead in betting and investing, will undoubtedly get a huge gain, completely ahead of the other nobles. With the support of the Church, the new noble alliance with her at its core is bound to expand further and thus reap great benefits.
Comparatively speaking, the position of the traditional aristocrats who excluded her in the early days was a little awkward. Whether it is to learn from Helena to move closer to the church or adhere to the traditional position of the noble alliance, the pros and cons are difficult to fully predict, not to mention that there is already a looming rift between them - looking at the white-robed envoy who can't see the real face, and then looking at each other, there is a hint of doubt in their eyes, no one can be sure whether one of them has betrayed the interests of others in order to throw himself into the church - as long as there is enough interest, this level of betrayal is nothing to the nobles.
The people on this side have their own thoughts, but time will not stand still, and the battlefield on the other side has entered the next stage.
In the face of the increasingly unfavorable battle situation, the dark army finally found an opportunity and launched a Jedi counterattack-using the desperate impact of the dark soldiers regardless of casualties, forcibly opening a channel where they could charge for the dark knights who were waiting behind to prepare a surprise attack, and the target was the hill where the nobles were located - through these days of fighting, the commander of the dark army has understood that this is the command hub of the entire noble alliance, and if they want to turn defeat into victory, the opportunity for victory is here.
Of course, the coalition had anticipated this choice of the enemy - a cavalry regiment of the nobles' elite knights had been waiting for a long time - and the best forces of both sides would fight it out. (To be continued.) )
