What Neo was really puzzled about, like most magicians, was what was this "new army" that his husband was fiddling with?

The day after returning to Hilzi, Eufe Mondridge took her to the shooting range, half-ostentatiously and half-frankly showed her the fruits of his months of hard work.

The infantry in front of them walked in a neat step, reloaded their rifles in a uniform manner, aimed, and fired. The soldiers in the back row naturally inserted themselves in the gap in the front row, and before that, the soldiers in the front row would trot to the back row of the array.

The strict ranks of the church infantry and the power of the magicians, combined at this moment. The sound of fan explosions and slogans shook Naio's head.

"This is the unit you trained?" Naio glanced at the star-eyed Alena behind her and asked in disbelief.

Ouffer Mondridge nodded proudly: "Who else can there be besides your husband?" ”

"Even I wasn't sure I could break through the gaps of those projectiles without injury." Naio came to a conclusion with a wave of his wand, slightly sharpening his dynamic vision. "It's faster than the city-guarding crossbow that has been added to the wind magic, is this really magic?"

The commander on the side of the Magic Spear Team shouted loudly in the gap between the shots, overshadowing the end of Naio's words.

When the new round of gunfire fell, Offmontridge scratched his hair and explained: "This is to seal the explosive magic in a container, leaving only one exit to push the projectile, so it can be regarded as the power of magic." ”

Heterodox? A word popped into Naio's mind, but she quickly shook her head to get the ominous word out of the way. Demon archers also usually use wind magic to assist the power of arrows, which is not heretical.

Yes, the magic gun cannot be considered a heresy. But the small factory that made the magic spear was not visible to Naio - and Offet Mondridge had no intention of showing the devout supporters of the Church this close secret.

It's not just that Uffey Mondrich has always served in the Inquisition. His father had told him that heresy was nothing more than an excuse to strike anyone who wanted to shake the foundations of the Bilunar Church. These can be rebellious thieves who want to confront the central power supported by the Bilunar Church, or they can be fools who preach that God is a lie in Lancas, or of course they can be the Red Dragons who establish a new order.

At this point, his father had to sigh. The magic instructor of the Red Dragon Regiment is still a "traitor" from the family of Grandpa Ofer Mondridge's best friend, and now he doesn't know life or death. When a good child becomes an adult, he can at least attack the position of a bishop, but in the course of his travels, he fell into evil and followed the thief to "make a revolution".

This is what Eufe Mondridge's grandfather told his dad every day - and his dad continued to nag at him. It wasn't until he personally took up the post of "protector of the Church" that he discovered that the "heresy" was, as his two elders put it, nothing more than a cover and a hat.

By standard, the coal-fired stove that now provides heat to the molten iron furnace in his hand is still the legacy of the Red Dragons. It's heretical, right? However, such stoves are widely found throughout the Kuril Islands, and they are used to boil water for hot baths—according to the standards of the Inquisition, the Tiande Pools all over the world are proper heretics. But in fact, Efel Mondridge and his colleagues, as well as his boss, always liked to go to the bathroom after work to relax, exchange feelings, and sometimes call a few maids to take a bath and enjoy the beauty of life - they did not think it was heretical at all.

The standard of heresy is nothing more than a façade and a hat that can be used to suppress anyone at any time, whether large or small, for the vested interests of the Bilunar Church. But in the case of a "new aristocracy" like Naio, he has become a loyal "sword of the Shang Fang", and they will do everything in their fanatical power to ban these "heretics".

Ofe Mondridge's wife was fine, but he didn't feel at ease with that - so he didn't want to show off the inside of the factory to Naio, lest it be boring. The three of them, accompanied by the guards, hurriedly finished watching the morning drill and went back to the city. As for the progress of the improved Iron-Shelled Magic Powder Mine and the Magic Powder Gun that can shoot continuously, Uffy Mondridge can only wait until the next day to see it.

At the same time, the portal base is also in a frenzy around Uffy Mondridge's invention.

A disassembled Magic Powder Mine, and another copy of its cross-sectional model were placed on the podium. The projector is constantly looping the animation of the principle of the magic powder mine.

"People learn." The staff officer on the stage stiffened his cheeks, "Some comrades-in-arms feel that the enemy in front of us will always be a weak chicken, always an NPC, and always LV.1, as long as there is one shelling and a round of guns, there will be nothing left." ”

On the whole, the operation to penetrate the western part of the direct area was very successful. Naturally, the Elta soldiers and junior officers were once again celebrating their miraculous victory under the leadership of PLA instructors and former PLA commanders, with tens of thousands of garrisons almost driven out of the defense zone by them, often with a platoon of troops able to scare the ambushed Western Expeditionary Army into disarray and launch a thousand-man rout—and it was all their feared, admired magicians.

All of the soldiers were permanently attrition because of the hand-planted magic powder minefield. Three people were killed on the spot, and five people were taken to the hospital for treatment. It wasn't much - only half of the class had an accident, just a little ripple in the background of victory.

The Magic Powder Mine exploded another possibility. The instructors and officers were a little alarmed to find that their enemies had already begun to experiment with asymmetric tactics. It would be nice to dig a trap for the Elta to step on, but the enemy has taken out the mines that are still harming the Quartet in their own plane - you must know that in Southeast Asia, East Africa, and the Middle East, there are still a lot of mines that will not have time to be removed......

That is, these eight new tombstones are not the end, but the beginning.

"In fact they will learn, they will be flexible. They are not 30 degrees out of the wreck, they have the same wisdom and desire to win as we do. Once armed with a new mindset of war, they will be as powerful as our students. But the most important thing for us now is to find their 'teachers'. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up. They all take this portal for granted now, and they also tacit to the fact that there is only one such portal in the world. If the second one comes, wouldn't that be the beginning of the Great Brawl?

"The most serious suspicion is that a portal has been opened somewhere in our world, and this door may only be through one person, or this person may have traveled to the land of the Church of the Two Moons and become their advisor. Of course, the Red Dragon Regiment has also said many times that they have plans and plans for this thing, but we still can't let our guard down. ”

However, the sample of the Demon Powder Mine is too rudimentary. From the point of view of traditional explosives, this thing is simply filling the ground with explosives. If the Church of the Two Moons were to place such a principle of stumbling and camouflage trees and camouflage stones in the forest, it would be far more threatening than burying the magic powder mines in the ground indiscriminately now.

"If the national level is trying to confront us, the Elta Army should be confronted with all kinds of standard mines on the front line, not explosives that are so rudimentary that the village-run factories do better than it. Look at this bulky bronze spring, isn't this a target for our metal detectors? ”

The projector suddenly changed its light and shadow and turned into a photograph taken on the spot at each minefield.

"Their methods of laying mines are also extremely shoddy. You can see what the colors on the ground and the other plots represent, right? What does this mean? Those who use explosive traps in the Bilunar Church may only know the weapons part, but not the tactical use of mines. From this, it can be inferred that our army should not face the situation of 'mine warfare' for a period of time. However, our army has also instructed the intelligence agencies to assist in obtaining the identity of this 'teacher'. ”

As a result of the Magic Powder Mine incident, all the sappers urgently returned to the Cierta station to receive an anti-mine course. At the same time, the Battle of Garcia, which had been slowly being prepared, was quickly put on the agenda - this war laboratory had already experimented with the unexpected.

So officers of all ranks of the Elta Army urgently returned here by helicopter. It is not only necessary to summarize the successes and failures of the Assault Campaign, but also to prepare for a new round of Garcia Campaign.

Three infantry regiments were the vanguard, advancing along the route of the Western Expeditionary Army to the city of Garcia. During this time, it is necessary to break through several enemy lines and strongholds, and also take over three large cities that stand in the way.

"Most of the living forces of the Western Expeditionary Army were arranged along the route of the march of the Middle Route Army." Another staff officer held a laser pointer and circled the aerial results. "More land and less land is now only secondary, and the most important goal of this campaign is to encircle and annihilate most of the living forces of the Western Expeditionary Army."

The direct strip to Cierta is like a wedge sticking out. Once this salient has been captured, it is convenient to march south along the plains to seize the rich metropolitan areas, or to launch a final blitzkrieg directly to the east. The staff officers of the whole army unanimously agreed that the Bilunar Church Army no longer had the courage and ability to launch a traffic sabotage war against the directly subordinate areas, and this time the battle could completely let go of its hands and make the Western Expeditionary Army completely lose blood.

The meaning of blood loss is clearly and literally indicative -- relying on the relatively mature road network in the areas under their direct control, especially near the capital, the motorized Elta infantry will quickly break through the enemy's heavily defended nodes one by one, and they are invincible in terms of mobility, and they have a former PLA officer who is good at interspersing and has complete communications to guide tactics, so they do not have to worry about the net not being able to catch a fish -- as for the ability to break through the encirclement, the staff officers have always used modern troops as a model to give up the surplus.

Almost simultaneously, the front-line troops were resting and maintaining equipment, preparing fuel and spare parts. The soldiers were so excited that the logistical supplies that had been sent down almost showed that they would soon be able to stand on Garcia's walls and plant the banner of the new Elta.
