"Nikita, what you said makes a lot of sense, but in the current situation, can you find other troops that are more suitable for attacking the fortifications than the Armored Knight Brigade?" Bloom asked rhetorically, unconvinced.

"Absolutely!" Nikita puffed out her chest with a confident smile on her face, "It's like Roland's proverb, 'Soldiers are good but not many'!" In my opinion, instead of sending a heavy mechanical armor as an assault team, it is better to hand over this mission to an elite squad with fewer but more flexible and more effective combat, taking advantage of the destruction of the city defense barrier, directly cast spells to collectively teleport to the inside of the Dusk Fortress, infiltrate the building where the Mystery Lock Center is located, try to seize control of the Lost Lock, put away the force field shield, and turn the Evening Fortress into an undefended city, at that time, our army can enter the city in a big way and destroy the remaining enemies in the city. ”

Nikita's words were so imposing that Roland, Lyudmila, Tonya, and Veronica understood her true intentions and couldn't help but smile at each other. Marshal Alexei and the generals were confused and looked at each other, not understanding whether the eldest lady was seriously making tactical suggestions, or whether the "princess disease" was attacking, treating the cruel war as a child's play, thinking that the whole world revolved around them.

"Lady Nikita, your proposal is interesting, there is only one problem, and that is that the 'elite special attack team' you are talking about does not actually exist...... Marshal Alexei admonished Nikita to be sober and not to let her imagination run wild in areas she does not understand.

"Why doesn't it exist? All the members of the special attack team I am talking about are obviously in this room! Nikita didn't even give His Excellency the Marshal face, and called her name in a grand manner, "Mira, Ronnie, Tonya, plus myself, isn't there four of them?" And if that's not enough, Bloom...... Forget about Bloom, it's useless to bring it to the fool who can't cast spells, so it's better to drive the mechanical armor outside to help us attract firepower. ”

"Stinky girl, I knew you had this idea!" Bloom muttered stupidly.

There was a commotion around the table. With a few exceptions, such as Vigraf, the other generals thought Nikita's idea was crazy and completely self-defeating! However, after all, this is the eldest lady of Beacon Mountain, although she is still very young, she is also a dignified archmage, and she has the confidence to take the initiative to ask for help and take on the heavy responsibility of special attack, and now the question is, who can stand up and persuade Miss Mage to dispel that extremely dangerous and unrealistic crazy plan.

Including Marshal Alexei, the eyes of all the generals converged on Roland's face, expressing a silent consensus: Dear Lord Regent, please stop your girlfriend from going crazy immediately!

Roland saw what everyone was thinking, smiled calmly, and opened his mouth to break the silence.

"General Conrad's proposal is relatively solid and worthy of adoption; Nikita's suggestion is risky, but I think it will be more effective and can greatly reduce the casualties of our besieging officers and soldiers, so I suggest that the two plans be implemented at the same time, which is safer, and in addition, the special attack team responsible for seizing control of the Mystery Lock will be led by myself. ”

The hall was silent. The generals were dumbfounded, unable to believe their ears. I thought that Nikita was bold enough, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Regent to be even more crazy, the dignified king of a country, and asked to personally lead the special attack team and be the first to enter the stronghold heavily defended by the Naraku Order, is this a joke, or is it really crazy?

His eyes swept over the venue, and Roland had a clear understanding of the mentality of the generals, and without waiting for Marshal Alexei to dissuade him, he was the first to speak to emphasize that he had a reason to take action in person.

"The commander of the garrison of the Twilight Fortress, that is, the former general of the Yasan Empire, Klautz Holstein, who came back from the dead, participated in the attack on the Kulasberg Palace on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, causing harm to my family, as a son of man, it is my unshirkable responsibility to fight the enemy!"

After listening to Roland's heartfelt confession, Marshal Alexei and all the generals present guessed that the "family" in his mouth was likely to refer specifically to His Majesty Rudolph. In fact, everyone knows that His Majesty was most likely assassinated in the terrorist attack at the beginning of the year, but they dare not say it explicitly. Since His Royal Highness the Regent clearly stated that this battle was his "battle of revenge", no matter how relieved the generals were, they could not dispel a son's firm will to avenge his father, so they had to give up the plan to dissuade him and silently send blessings to him.

No matter how many concerns the participants still had in their hearts, the battle plan was thus decided.

In order to more effectively break the defensive barrier of the Dusk Fortress, General Elijah Conrad specially pushed 300 12-pounder cannons forward, approaching only 2,000 yards from the city gate, showing off his complete air supremacy, forcing the enemy's city defense batteries not to show their heads, and the Far Eastern troops, including artillery, could move outside the city at will and do whatever they wanted.

Roland took his four girlfriends, who were ready to go to the battle, to visit General Conrad's position, and saw that the elevation angles of the three hundred cannons were almost parallel to the ground, pointing straight at the south gate of the Dusk Fort two miles away, which was like loading a cannon with a "bayonet", and this kind of close shooting was closer to hand-to-hand combat.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the battle began on time. General Conrad received instructions from the headquarters and immediately gave the order to open fire. Three hundred cannons that had been ready for a long time seemed to fire at the same time, and the muzzles of the guns spewed out brilliant arcs of lightning, blasting the 12-pounder shells straight towards the south gate of the dusk fortress.

The shells were blocked by the force field shield one after another, and exploded in mid-air, spraying clouds of orange-red paint, which were particularly bright and dazzling under the cover of the flares dropped by the air force.

At this time, Roland and his entourage, who were watching the battle from the artillery position, realized that the first round of shelling was loaded with the so-called "marker shells", the purpose of which was not to destroy the city defense barrier, but to determine the error of the angle of the shelling. Observers at the artillery positions use telescopes to observe the landing point of the first round of test shells, and then make slight adjustments to the shelling elements to ensure that the next round of shelling can accurately hit the intended target.

After a short period of adjustment, General Conrad gave an order, and the three hundred cannons once again let out an earth-shattering roar. This time, all the reloads were enchanted cannonballs infused with 6 rings of "Dissociation". The translucent force field barrier once again intercepted the cannonball in the air, but at the moment when the cannonball exploded, a cloud of dark green magic aura burst out, and the moment the force field wall came into contact with the green light containing the "dissociation technique", it triggered a series of sounds similar to glass breaking, which quickly collapsed and disintegrated, as if large pieces of dead skin were peeling off, exposing the flesh and internal organs of the city to the attacker's gun.
