Chapter 111: The Flames of War in the North
On the outskirts of Buk-gun City, the smell of gunpowder wafts through the air. The ground was littered with broken corpses, both human and demonic. The beautiful and rich farmland was shattered by shells, and those twisted lives were competing with each other for the corpses of their kind.
Needless to say, this is hell on earth.
Not long after Anjie left, the battle began. Just as Admiral Lesa had predicted, seeing that the Imperial forces were not gathered, the monsters began to attack like suicide.
Every moment of every day, every second, they are tireless and unstoppable. Fighting such an enemy was undoubtedly terrifying, and the soldiers of the Empire were exhausted from day to day by day under the assault of fear and exhaustion.
Empire, Temporary Command of North County City.
"It's been the third day, and there's still no news from Sergeant Scarlet?!"
Admiral Leza pounded his desk angrily, and the generals below him looked at each other, but no one spoke.
There was an air of despair in the air.
"Admiral."
Finally, a lieutenant general stood up hard.
"Sergeant Scarlet has been out of touch for three days, I'm afraid it's either an accident or .................."
"What's it?!"
Admiral Lesa glared at him fiercely with a pair of wolf eyes.
If something didn't happen, it was a defection, this was the voice of the generals present.
After all, they still did not believe Admiral Lysa's words that the enemy was targeting the northern fortresses.
After all, that fortress is not something that can be breached by a mere demonic beast. It has been standing for hundreds of years, and it is even older than the Empire!
As long as that fortress is there, it is impossible for the Demonic Beast to enter the northern part of the Empire............ Before the appearance of the Earth Demon Beast, this was the same truth.
So the generals all thought that Sergeant Angel Scarlett might not have escaped halfway out of fear of war.
After all, she was just a child, so it was not surprising that she would make such an action.
"You don't know her, you don't know what kind of person she is."
Admiral Lesa seemed to see through their thoughts, and said coldly: "All in all, I believe in her. ”
The generals glanced at each other, and they all saw the helpless eyes between each other.
The admiral said to death, there is nothing to say about the reconnaissance operation of the Northern Fortress.
The lieutenant general who spoke at the beginning said with a broken face on his face:
"Admiral, let's put the matter of Sergeant Scarlett aside for now. What to do about breaking the enemy and rescuing Commander-in-Chief Christine? ”
He looked worried.
"The stubbornness of the enemy is beyond imagination, even if a large number of demonic beasts die every day, but their number is almost not small, and if it continues like this, defeat will be a matter of time."
As soon as he talked about this topic, Admiral Lesa also covered his head with a headache.
He also knows that the stakes are high, but if he can't come up with a solution, he can't come up with a solution.
Obviously, he can kill a large number of people every day, but there is no less, and all he can do is to come up with more weapons and design the most effective tactics, so that the logistics will never stop.
It's just that it's still a drop in the bucket for the current situation.
And the question that their group of generals are discussing here is whether to call back the troops who are standing by around the fortress.
That's nearly 200,000 combat power!
As long as you can call them all back, you can immediately form a powerful force, defeat the enemy in the shortest time, and save your own commander.
However, this plan was rejected by Admiral Lesa, who insisted on waiting for An Jie's reply.
Just when a group of general commanders were in the office helpless about the current situation, a herald suddenly rushed in in a panic.
"Report! Sergeant Scarlett has an echo! ”
Admiral Lesa rose from his chair in a moment.
"What did she say?!"
(Three days!) Bastard, you made me wait for three days! )
The herald swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "She said: The Northern Fortress has been occupied by demonic beasts!" ”
Suddenly, there was silence in the office.
An elderly general shuddered and removed his glasses, his voice trembling.
"You say...... The fortress has been captured?! ”
Even though they knew that the fortress was no longer functioning for its original purpose, the hearts of these generals twitched when they suddenly heard that the long-time protector had fallen.
And Admiral Lesa, he was already not just twitching.
His whole body was trembling.
"Fortress...... Lost? ”
This is not in line with his expectations, in his heart, although An Jie is a little late to rush over now, but with the weapons and facilities in the fortress, there is no problem in holding on until the large army rushes over.
But now the fortress has fallen.
Admiral Lesa had two options before him.
The first is to let the troops continue to advance and open a second battlefield in the fortress.
The second is to make the troops turn around, abandon the fortress, and rush to the northern county city to support them.
"Tell Anjie and let her stick to it."
Admiral Lesa sighed and closed his eyes............ When it opened, there was already a cold light flickering there.
He would not take the risk to open up a second battlefield, and the information sent back by An Jie at the risk of death prompted him to make the choice of abandoning the fortress.
"Of the two worst choices, I had to choose the less bad one."
"Recall all the troops near the fortress, ten days later............ Let's go on the offensive! ”
…………
Outside the Northern Fortress.
Hamus crawled out of the pool of dragon veins that had been set up before.
"Bang!"
A hot fist slammed into Hamus's face.
"Little girl, look at the good things you did!"
Hamus's regrown head smiled wryly at Admiral Christine, who she had accidentally released.
It's a long story, and when Christine was soaking in her dragon vein pool, she thought it was foolproof.
After all, the dragon vein is the power of the earth, and being locked by the dragon vein pool is the same as being wrapped in the earth.
Under that endless pressure, humanity has no hope of escaping!
But she forgot one thing.
"Are all the generals of the empire monsters!"
Before the various demonic beasts that heard the sound could react, they were blown out of the head by an arm that was constantly oozing purple liquid!
"I thought you remembered this fact after killing you more than 800 times."
Christine was naked, purple dragon vein energy wriggling on the surface of her body, but it was evaporated by the scorching blood vapor.
"I'm already impressed by you, Admiral. I just didn't expect that someone could escape the dragon vein lock through such a deadly method as vaporizing the dragon vein pool. ”
Hamus's smile was a little forced.
"Can you tell me how much blood you've lost now?"
"Not much, about four or five tons."
“……………… Monster. ”
"You're not qualified to speak of me."
Christine twisted her neck.
"Girl, it's not the first time I've encountered a dragon vein warlock. I'll admit you're the best among them, but ............"
Carbon hardening mixed with purple dragon vein energy, covering the surface of her body with a layer of dark purple mad armor!
“………… There can be no such thing as immortality! As long as it is alive, it will usher in the end of equality! ”
"Whether it's a thousand times or ten thousand, I'm going to kill you!!"
