The battle between the Magic Empire and the Merchant Alliance in the hilly region of the Tra border has entered a fever pitch from the very beginning. This defensive line composed of seven hills and hills, under the defense of the New Eleventh Army, was still impregnable for at least the first five days.

The auxiliary spells and healing techniques provided by the Merchant Alliance Magicians have greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Merchant Alliance soldiers, and many Magic Empire soldiers have found that they are not the opponents of the Merchant Alliance soldiers when they attack the front line. Often stabbing with one shot, the other party either has no reaction or is flexible to avoid, and moves behind him in an instant, which is impossible to prevent.

Of course, the soldiers of the Shang Alliance were also a little powerless in the face of the magic attacks of the magic empire magicians, their number of magicians was too small to protect all the defenses, and the few magic shields were almost a drop in the bucket on the battlefield. Sometimes the magicians of the Magic Empire see the hole, and a single fireball spell can take the lives of several soldiers of the Merchant Alliance.

However, Shang Meng's crossbowmen are not vegetarians, and the covering shot of the bow and crossbow can also take the lives of several magicians. Every mage who falls from the sky can cause cheers from nearby merchant soldiers.

"Koster, I don't understand, don't those magicians think they're not conspicuous enough, how can they fly so high?" asked Koster, puzzled.

"There is no way, the two sides are strangled together, and only in the air can there be a clear vision. Whoever made their mages are mostly elemental mages, and they must see their targets clearly in order to cast offensive spells. In contrast, Xiao Mu's auxiliary spells were as simple as not asking for money, and they were sprinkled a lot of them on the crowd. ”

There are not many enemies in front of the new Sixth Army of Kisther, and it seems that the Magic Empire has not invested full strength here, and most of it is still the purpose of feints. These two regiments of the New Sixth Army are almost the strongest troops on the battlefield at present, and they are naturally able to deal with them with ease. Compared with the commander of the new eleventh army next door, who was already in disarray, Koster still seemed calm and relaxed.

Commanding operations on the front lines was Commander Jon, who commanded his Thirteenth Regiment and Duncan's Twelfth Regiment. Since this is not the focus of the offensive side, there are almost no magicians who come to make trouble, and the two sides are still fighting a traditional offensive and defensive battle, with spears and feathered arrows still the main melody here.

"Herald, let Jon strengthen the guard on the left flank, the position on that side is a little loose, go, let him strengthen fifty archers over there. "Koster gave orders in an orderly manner, while keeping an eye on the central battlefield.

Compared to here, the main direction of the New Eleventh Army is a bit embarrassing. After five days of fighting, the magicians of the Shang Alliance were exhausted, and even the strongest mages of the Merchant Alliance and Monica had their faces a little embarrassed. In fact, at the start of the assault this morning, after casting a round of blessings, they no longer had the mental strength to help the defenders.

And the Magic Empire's numerical superiority in magicians is reflected at this time. General Wendell was keenly aware of the difference in the number of mages between the two sides when he began to attack. After consulting with the magicians, he divided his four hundred magicians into two teams and took turns attacking. In other words, the mages who assisted the attack head-on today were elite mages who had rested for a whole day, and they were full of spirit and mana.

Sure enough, after the offensive began, the four main positions were somewhat loosened to varying degrees. Seeing the situation of the Shang Alliance soldiers, the magicians of the Magic Empire summoned four magical creatures again, two fire elementals and two water elementals, after the first day. Although the shape is not as big as the few on the first day, at this time, the magicians of the Shang Alliance have no way to help more.

Fortunately, the crossbow arrow troops still had their strength left, and the raindrops of crossbow arrows poured down on the elemental creatures, and it was not easy to scatter the four magical creatures. Without the support of long-range troops, the defenders on the ground began to be unable to resist the enemy's attack, and many positions were broken through.

The corps commander of the New Eleventh Army looked anxiously at the situation on the front line, and there was no good way, the reserves in his hands had basically been sent to the front line, and now there was only his personal guard battalion. "Damn, it's okay! everyone follow me!" The commander of the New Eleventh Army had no choice but to take his guards to block the bullet holes. His shiny armor was so conspicuous in the crowd that the soldiers of the Magic Empire rushed here.

Koster, who was watching the battle from the side, was anxious. He had only brought two regiments of more than 8,000 men with him, and now Jon's regiment was in the front line and Duncan's regiment was in reserve behind. Koster didn't have the guts to send all the troops here to help.

"Koster, I'll take the Guards Battalion to help, the No. 3 position of the New Eleventh Army (Note 1) looks a little dangerous. Looking at Feida's sincere eyes, Kerst naturally understood that she was telling the truth, and it took him a long time before he made up his mind, "Okay, you bring the guard battalion to help! Green, take your scout camp too!" At the same time, the commander of the scout battalion, Green, who was in front of the gang, also commanded.

Green slapped his greatsword, "Okay, Captain!" and turned to leave.

The soldiers of the two battalions hurriedly rushed from the hill of the New Sixth Army to the No. 3 position for reinforcements. Fortunately, the arrival of these thousands of fresh troops helped the New Eleventh Army stabilize this crumbling position. However, there were not so many reinforcements, and at the same time, the No. 1 and No. 4 positions were also in a critical situation, and the anxious Kest was eager to step forward in person.

"Wooh!" Kaka felt his master's anxiety beside him, and he was eager to try, but Koster didn't dare to let it pass. Everyone knows how many magicians and crossbows are staring at the sky right now. After calming Kaka for a while, Khorter refocused his gaze on the New Eleventh Army's defensive line. Fortunately, at this critical moment, the sound of the horn "woo woo" came from behind him, and Christit's new Ninth Army finally arrived in time.

By the time the soldiers of the New Eleventh Army evacuated from their positions with their commanders, the entire New Eleventh Army had already suffered more than forty percent of the damage. Many wings were in the hilltop position, and even lost as much as half of their manpower. Fortunately, the continuous attacks have exhausted the army of the Magic Empire. After all, they are not really the troops of the Magic Empire, they are just the former Western Border Guards of San Jose. The magicians are delicate, and the days of fighting make them feel a strong desire to rest, even if they have a rotation.

General Wendell had to retreat for miles and wait for another battle.

The magicians of the Magic Empire were tired, and the magicians of the Shang Alliance were almost so tired that they vomited blood, and many of them lay on the ground and didn't want to move after getting off the ground. Christit arranged for a number of soldiers and medical officers to carry them to the rear camp to rest. These days, it's not the soldiers who work hardest, it's the magicians. They were to provide the greatest protection to the soldiers of the Merchant Alliance between five times their number of enemies.

Setie, Xiao Mu, Monica, Lolita and others couldn't take it anymore and left the front line for a while. The battlefield was calm for a while. But everyone on both sides understood that this was just a temporary calm before the storm.

Commander Christet sent her soldiers to the front, replacing Koster's army and the New Eleventh Army. However, she herself pulled Kester and whispered, "Looking at the current situation, we may not be able to hold it." What do you see?"

Koster shook his head, "We are tired, and so are the enemies. Now it's a contest of willpower to see who can't hold it first. ”

"Don't forget, our magicians are exhausted, and our soldiers can hold on, but magicians cannot. What will happen without the help of a magician, I understand, and you understand. ”

"Besides," said Koster in a deep voice, "I'm still worried that the enemy will have new reinforcements. At the headquarters of the Business Alliance, there will be no more troops, and it will be for a while. ”

"Can't you send them over?" said Christet, displeased.

"You can't act rashly. The Shang Alliance has suffered too many losses. "Koster is also helpless," Again, who knows if the Magic Empire will send more troops over. ”

After thinking for a while, Kester looked at Captain Christet's face and said, "No, I'm going back to the rear and report the situation here to the Military Council, King Lucius, and General Calvin." It really doesn't work, we have to plan ahead. ”

Christie nodded, "That's what I mean, you can rest assured, here is me and my New Ninth Army." ”

Koster hurriedly returned to the headquarters not far from the rear with his personal guards, where King Lucius, General Calvin, and others were keeping a close eye on the battle. However, when Kerst arrived, he found everyone outside, with a stretcher in front of them, covered with a white cloth.

"What is this?" said Koster looked at the scene, a little puzzled.

"Koist, this is Moore, the commander of the New Eleventh Army, who died shortly after his return from his injuries. Calvin stepped forward and patted Kerst on the shoulder and gave him a brief explanation.

"Ahh Caster stepped back in shock. Not long ago, he also saw Moore with his own guard battalion fighting fire everywhere on the defensive line, this taciturn middle-aged man, he never thought that it would be the swan song of his life.

"It's too late to be sad, the casualties on the front line are not small, and General Moore can be regarded as doing his duty. It was King Lucius who spoke, and he looked at Koster seriously, "We all know the situation on the front line, Koster, tell me, do you think the front line can still be held?"

Kerster's eyes flashed over King Lucius, General Calvin, and all the other members of the Military Council, and he whispered for a long time, "The current situation is very bad, if the Magic Empire sends more troops, it will be ......"

Before Chester finished speaking, the others understood what he meant, and King Lucius showed an unwilling face, "That is, you can't hold it?"

Koster shook his head, "Not necessarily, I mean if the enemy doesn't have reinforcements......"

Before the words fell, an urgent horn suddenly sounded in the distance, and everyone's faces changed!

Note 1: The New Eleventh Army refers to the seven main defensive positions of this line as the No. 1 to No. 7 defensive lines, and the New Eleventh Army is responsible for defending the main No. 1 to No. 4 defensive lines.
