Chapter 33: The Dogfight in Sachi 6
Attacking fortifications in this era has always been a brutal challenge for both the offensive and the defensive, and thanks to the clever use of magic, the Thrans were able to use a variety of special ammunition - poison gas bombs, acid mist bombs, and a mess of all kinds of ammunition - with two infantry guns pushed up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe technology required to produce these alchemy shells may not be high, and even Su Ke can make some of these big killing weapons, the problem is that without the support of big industry, what is the use of even a small amount of production? It's not going to be an adventure......
What's more, people don't seem to remember one thing when they invented a mass murder weapon, and that is how they were going to defend against such a weapon. Mages have arcane protection, priests can dispel magic at any time, and wealthy officers and soldiers can also buy magical items to protect themselves at great expense......
Lieutenant General Chirac saw through the telescope that the green poisonous gas permeated the defenders of Saatchi Town, and was soon blown back by the strong wind, which made the Selan army in the attack dizzy, and the cannon fodder of the Kolsalan natives who had finally gathered was killed and wounded by his own people before they could get close to the enemy. Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of several big men, the guerrillas on the opposite side jumped out and killed them, and soon broke up the offensive of the Serland army.
Heavy casualties? Demoralization due to successive failed attacks? Lieutenant General Chirac did not show any discouragement, but kept sending the officers around him to the front to gather the troops, let them rest for a while and continue to bless the magic and spells, and then return to the attack. Of course, those who are particularly timid fools are all inflicted "berserk" and "heroic", thrown to the front line to launch a death charge, so as to ensure that manpower is not wasted.
"General, such repeated throws into the army to attack are completely based on human lives, is this really useful?" Seeing the continuous attack and then defeat, after regrouping, under the whip and death threats of the officer, howling and launching another attack, the officer next to the lieutenant general couldn't help but ask.
"This is the only way for our army at the moment." Chirac said this, then sighed, and continued to the officer beside him: "I also know that this waste of manpower is definitely a shameful waste, but what can our army, which has lost the advantage of surprise attack, do it do except fight for numbers? ”
Indeed, if the Thran Advance Army, which had little food to supply, could not defeat the enemy in front of them and seize the grain and grass stored in the town of Saatchi, then they would be awaited with a nightmare consequence - a lack of food.
Of course, Lieutenant General Chirac has another reason for doing this, that is, to prove to the Senate that he has fought the enemy with his efforts, but the strength of the enemy army is too strong, and the advance army has been pitted too badly by those corrupt officials to lead to such a result.
Well, the commanders in the rear have already become like this, how else can you expect the morale of this Seran army. But you have to admit that they are almost complete the task with the advantage of numbers, and once again repelling the enemy's attack, the uncle has to temporarily push down to rest, and by the way, he has to discuss it with Lorraine.
The barely stoppable offensive made the already struggling defense even more difficult, and Lorraine no longer had the energy to create elemental warriors to help the front, as the time and materials to be consumed by these warriors were too much at this time. Of course, he would like to give more production in normal times, but there are so many wounded here, if he doesn't treat them with all his might, he can't be busy with the holy warrior and the bishop alone, not to mention that the two brothers and sisters are now exhausted and faint.
"Lorraine, think of a way, five more people died in that wave just now, and there are more than ten wounded."
"Uncle, I'm not available now, and I can't make guards anymore, so my magic power is insufficient."
The uncle was silent, he knew that it was already difficult for modern mages to consume enough mana, since Lorraine said that he was not enough mana, it meant that there were at least more than two hundred wounded people waiting for his treatment.
He looked at Irene and Suke, who were in command, and both of them shook their heads at the same time, "Miss Irene must maintain the spell confrontation now, the mage troops of the Serans run over to harass them from time to time, if they can't be beaten away, once they are allowed to rush in, all the wounded here will be alive." ”
"If you want reinforcements, I can only say that I will bring my escort up first, and the other guerrilla reinforcements can only be temporarily contacted through the wind element of Lorraine, and the number is very small, less than two hundred."
"Okay, then I'll continue to stand up, you'd better come up with a way, otherwise it's only a matter of time before the town is breached, and there are more bastards on the other side than us."
Dropping such a sentence, the uncle returned to the front line with a dozen or so guerrilla guards, and Su Ke was silent for a moment, "Miss Irene, do you think the plan I said before has a chance to come true?" ”
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?"
"Of course, if the guerrillas and the town of Thatch are wiped out here, there will be no kingdom for the Korsalans, and I would rather let the undead kill them than let the despicable Thrans gain our land! The people will understand my ......"
"Ah-la-ah-la, it's a guy who represents the people, I don't know if the people will be willing to let politicians like you represent."
"They will! And it's all for our lives, and I can't think of any other way to break the game, Miss Mage, do you have any other good ideas? ”
Looking at Su Ke's somewhat sly smile, the expressionless Irene had the urge to punch over, but she resisted. Because this hateful guerrilla commander is right, if the current situation is to go, only the mage can escape, and the rest will definitely be hunted down to death by the Thrans.
If you want to break the game, it is not enough to rely on the guerrillas who are constantly coming, they lack an army that can be decisive. It's just that there are people with such strength nearby, and there are really only undead who don't know how to run out of it. When the two of them began to discuss helplessly how to lure the undead, it seemed that they had forgotten to tell Lorraine about it, in fact, if they had consulted Lorraine, who was recovering from life, they would not want to use the undead to fight the Thorlands, because the challenge difficulty of the Divine Bone Lich had reached the god level!
The disaster that would not have happened began to take shape, and after repelling two waves of attacks, Irene began to cast a powerful spell under the protection of the guerrillas, and Melissa, who barely came to her senses, ran over as soon as possible, "Are you crazy! Do you know what you're doing right now!? ”
"Of course, Miss Melissa, I'm fighting for everyone's future!"
"But you're summoning the undead! Didn't you know that a very powerful army of the undead had appeared here? They're underground! ”
"So I'm going to attract them, and then let the Thrans fight to the death with them."
"You!"
Before Miss Paladin could step forward, Su Ke, who appeared behind her like a ghost, struck her with a stick. Looking at the fainting girl, Irene stared at the uncle in front of her expressionlessly, he smiled a little embarrassedly, "You know that holy warriors are very durable, I'm afraid I won't be able to stun." ”
As if sensing something, the mages from the Seran army began to rise into the air one by one, the magical elements in the air were vibrating slightly, and a magical force belonging to decay was pulling something, which made them very curious. However, not everyone was like the mage, and the head of the priest had already rushed to Lieutenant General Chirac to report the situation when he sensed that something was wrong.
"So what do you want me to do, Your Excellency?" The lieutenant general looked at the other party with a wry smile, "Of course, it is to concentrate forces and quickly stop the source of magic power in the town, no one knows what they want to do, but as long as they interrupt, it will not be a big problem!" So said the bishop.
"You're right, but please see the front line for yourself, no matter how much you urge, the defense there can not be weak at all, don't worry Lord Bishop, we can definitely go to the town for the night today, those Korsalans are dying." Lieutenant General Chirac, who unknowingly uttered the forbidden sentence, did not seem to be in a hurry at all, and the bishop had no choice but to order the priest troops to strengthen their vigilance, which also made the Serans lose the opportunity to turn the tables.
Because after an hour, the earth began to tremble, the endless power of death began to reverberate in the air, and even the front-line troops who were preparing for the attack stopped mobilizing and looked around to find out what was wrong.
And then - an overwhelming army of death appeared on the edge of the battlefield, led by the official Divine Bone Lich in a sorcery leather jacket. The monster from another world had a terrifying pair of red soul fire in its eyes, and the smell of death in the air delighted it, and then it let out an absolutely chilling scream, and the undead began to rush towards the battlefield of Thatch!
Irene sat on the ground a little tired, just finished casting the spell, and Suke watched happily through the arcane telescope as the necromantic army swept across the battlefield, and gradually the smile on the corner of his mouth began to change, as the dead began to rush towards Thatch.
"Damn it! What did you all do! From that fluctuation of magic power, it was known that it was the lich in the tomb who was chasing, and Lorraine didn't care if his life would collapse when he recovered, so he ran over and found the magic array at Irene's feet at a glance.
Suke smiled at him bitterly, "It seems that we are dead, but we are still in Saatchi until we die." Hearing such a sentence, Lorraine was angry, don't drag me to death, uncle, I haven't lived enough.
Ignoring the commander who seemed to have a lower IQ, he felt that he had called for his wind elementals to come back, and now he had to hurry, if he abandoned all the useless equipment, maybe he could let the wind elementals pull them away. It's just that Lorraine, who has taken over the command of the wind elemental, doesn't see the shadow that appears at the edge of the forest, and it seems that a force is approaching.
