The two regiments of Desik soldiers were teleported to the back of the Merchant's mercenary corps by magical magic, and on the east side of the Siamese Bridge, a large number of Desik border guards also launched an attack again, which means that in the narrow area of the bridgehead, the Merchant's mercenary corps that had not yet had time to be launched actually became a situation where both sides were beaten.

The Desik soldiers who were teleported by magic were quite elite, and they began to poke the butt ~ shares of the mercenaries of the Merchant Alliance at the first time.

Forced by the pressure of the frontal defense line of the bridgehead, it was impossible to see how many Desik people were in the rear in the dark, and Pierre did not dare to send the soldiers in the direction of the bridgehead to reinforce, but had to ask the rear team to defend it, and at the same time, urgently ordered the nearby New First Army and the New Fifth Army to reinforce the conjoined bridge defense line.

This move was called the first failure of the Second Continental War by later scholars, and countless sputterers swore that if they were in that position, they would never make such a stupid decision. In contrast to Southern Madur, which was attacked by surprise, the Grand Canyon defense line was completely defeated head-on, even with the element of magic.

But judging from the situation that General Pierre faced at that time, if he were a mainland and any general, he would have made a similar decision.

First of all, at that time, both sides of the defense line were under attack, and the enemy situation was unknown in the dark night, and it was not known how many enemies were attacking.

Secondly, the enemy on the back of the defense line was teleported to the back of the defense line by dark magic in an instant, which brought a great shock. A high-ranking general like Pierre or a nobleman from a large family may know what magic is, but for ordinary soldiers, the impact of magic makes many soldiers not react at all.

The third and most important point is that the main defender of the Siamese Bridge, the main defender of the defensive line, is the Mercenary Legion. Although the mercenary corps is the main army of the Shang Alliance, this army is armed with gold coins, and the soldiers are all professional soldiers who take money to do things, and in their eyes, gold coins and lives come first.

The Grand Canyon defense line is actually in the territory of Manning, and among the mercenary corps, there are people from all countries, and of course they will not die for it. So this, as the commander of the mercenary corps, General Epierre is well aware. Therefore, in the line of defense of the gorge, only the New Second Army was the most favored by General Pierre's new appointment.

This is the order received by the new adjutant general of the Second Army on the Dunkirk Bridge before, "A large number of elite soldiers of Desik have broken through the defense line of the Second Bridge of High and Low Levels, and reinforcements are urgently needed in the form of a crisis! ”

In later generations, some scholars believed that in addition to General Pierre's problems, Commander Albert also made a huge mistake by transferring the soldiers of the two most elite regiments of the New Second Army to the Siamese Bridge defense line without knowing the situation, and leaving the Dunkirk Bridge defense line to those soldiers who had been fighting for a day, such as Captain Ode.

Because Albert had been in mercenary meetings all along, and the actual Dunkirk line was commanded by his lieutenant, Captain Albert did not know the exact situation of the first day. And the offensive pressure from Dunkirk here is not easy at all. Albert's lieutenant was very cooperative in transferring all the elite soldiers and reserves to the Siamese Bridge line, and here in Dunkirk, there was probably a regiment and a half of exhausted soldiers. The Desiks, on the other hand, had been quietly in the darkness on the other side of the bridge, without any sound.

The adjutant naively thought that the order of the commander of Albert's army was really timely enough, and it seemed that the main force of De Sick had gone to the second bridge of the high and low ground.

In the direction of the second high and low bridge, the attack on the bridgehead also began again. Arthur's leader, who had just finished casting the spell, felt a trace of detachment, and stumbled under his feet, and a black-clothed mage behind him hurriedly stepped forward to support Arthur and greeted with concern, "It's okay, the leader!"

Arthur changed for a moment, and then stood up straight: "The problem is not too big, using space magic to teleport so many people at once, although it is only three miles away, but it has basically exhausted my mana." The results of this dark curtain and space magic have basically proven to be effective and feasible, and it is not in vain that I came to visit it myself. It's a pity that the number of people and the distance are still quite limited, it's a pity. ”

Hearing Arthur say this, several auxiliary dark mages were convinced. Fortunately, they only cooperated with Arthur's Guild to cast spells, and now the situation is much better, and it is still the mage just now, "Then Guild Leader, what should we do next?"

Arthur thought for a moment, "We've finished the work here, I'll leave for San Jose at once, the rest of the war will be up to the Desiks themselves, and the others will go back with me." Xiaoyu, you stay, General Hans needs us to assist in the main attack of the Dunkirk line, and the others will go back with me immediately. The Northern Protector ~ is very dissatisfied with our actions here, although we are the Black Dragon Society, but everyone is for the same goal, it is better not to have a conflict. Anyway, the job here is pretty much the same. ”

At the same time, General Hans, accompanied by Florian and Alvin, had left the direction of the Siamese Bridge attack, where they had left behind a total of five regiments of soldiers, including two regiments of Wasteland warriors, and now the attention of the Shang Alliance defenders had been completely drawn to this line of defense, and no one would have thought that it was not here that the Desiks really wanted to break through.

"It's just a pity for the thousands of wasteland warriors?" said Hans with regret.

"There's no way around that," General Florian reassured him, "after all, these people were supposed to die in the coup." His Majesty Edward did not want to waste them, and exchanged their freedom and atonement for them in exchange for them voluntarily becoming death squads. If you agree, you can exonerate your family, and if you survive, you can return to the army. I don't think they will refuse this kind of condition. ”

"Survive, hmph, it's too good to think, even if they are wasteland warriors, and they don't have three heads and six arms, think about the Central Garrison soldiers in the direction of Dunkirk. ”

For a moment the crowd was silent, and the horses sped away to the north, followed only by a few hundred guards soldiers, but in front of them there were as many as seven regiments of elite Desik soldiers.

Yes, Kane was just an ordinary soldier after all, and his regimental commander was no more than a mid-level officer. They only knew that in this battle Desik threw in as many as eleven regiments of troops, but in fact, Desik put into the attack not eleven regiments, but eighteen regiments, more than 60,000 people. General Hans personally brought an elite army from White Rock City.

In historical records, the first battle of the Second Continental War was staged by the three-color signal salute that rose into the sky. In the first stage, a red salute led the first wave of attacks in the direction of Dunkirk and Siamese Bridge, which lasted for a whole day and a night, in the second stage, three green signal flowers, which rose into the air, followed by two regiments of elite wasteland warriors whose dark magic was teleported to the rear of the Shang Alliance, and in the third stage, five yellow signal flowers were raised high in the direction of Dunkirk, and the first battle also entered the final and most brutal stage.

Squadron Leader Ouder led his broken squadron, behind the second wall. The bridgehead in the direction of the merchant alliance of the Dunkirk Bridge has two ramparts, the first is low and the second is high. In the actual defense, while the soldiers of the first wall fend off the enemy with spears, iron shields, and machetes, the defenders of the second wall can condescendingly attack the opponent's weak points from above with their bows and crossbows. Another advantage of standing on a high place is that the view will be particularly good, such as Captain Ode, who can now see the Dunkirk Bridge at a glance.

Then, Oude saw a large group of Desik soldiers, once again rushing across the Dunkirk Bridge, followed by earth-shattering shouts of killing, and at this time, ten hours had passed since Commander Albert transferred the main defensive forces away from the direction of Dunkirk, and the troops of several thousand people had been trapped in the Siamese Bridge defense line.

When later scholars commented on this battle, a well-known San Jose scholar summed up the normal battle in a complete way in an ancient saying, without losing sarcasm: "The stupid generals of the Shang League were turned around by a simple 'turning the tiger away from the mountain' and 'striking the west' by a simple 'turning the tiger away from the mountain' and 'striking the east and attacking the west'." Of course, this summary was biased, and he did not take into account the dark magic events that were taking place on the front lines at the time.

But looking at the Desik people who came up like a tide in front of him, Captain Oude's mood was also extremely depressed. And just as a large number of Desik people stepped across the bridgehead, a large black mist suddenly poured out of the Desik army array, and instantly enveloped the entire bridgehead fortress, and all the soldiers of the merchant alliance felt that they could not see, and all that came from their ears were panicked roars and cruel shouts of killing.

Oude knew at that moment that the Dunkirk defense line was finished.

Under the cover of the "Dark Veil" (Note 1), a large number of Desik soldiers were stimulated by the blood spurting, and secondly, they were also extremely well shielded, and the crossbow arrows fired by the soldiers of the Shang Alliance in a panic basically failed to hit the target, while the Desik soldiers who followed the black fog easily broke through the first wall, and their speed was almost the same as the speed at which the black fog spread.

The three thousand tired and extremely flustered soldiers of the New Second Army could not resist the elite Desik soldiers at all, the machete in Oude's hand had been cut, the armor on his body had been shattered, and his eyes were fascinated by sweat or blood, and he couldn't open them. But even if you can open it, it's useless, and under the dark veil, no one can see anyone clearly.

The Dark Veil was limited in scope after all, and it stopped spreading behind the second wall. Oude stepped back angrily, wiped his eyes, and finally could see the situation of the defense line, and then before he could react, he only felt a cold wind coming from the back of his head, and there was a loud bang on the ground, Oude only felt dizzy, and fell down in an instant.

Before he fell, out of the corner of his eye, Oude caught a glimpse of the merchant alliance flag and the Manning heraldic flag slipping, and the green carriage and the copper-colored three-handled long axe fell on a spear facing the sky, and it was pierced with a "poof".

Then it was dark, and Ode didn't know anything.

Note 1: Most of the magic currently displayed by the Dark Rising Organization is psychic magic, including space magic and the Dark Veil, which is the magic that appears in Mosat.
