"What a rarity, I didn't expect you to come here."

The young man in black who was looking down in contemplation swiped his fingers forward, and two crystal cups containing red liquid appeared on the table in front of him.

"Because I can't figure out what you're doing." One hand picked up the crystal cup on the table, put it to his lips and took a sip.

"It's just a temptation, what's there to figure it out?" The young man in black shook his head, picked up another glass with fine wine, and said.

"Tempted with a ragtag army of humans?" The golden light flashed away, and a huge throne appeared behind the white-robed middle-aged man.

"What do you want to tempt?" The white-robed man sat on the throne and said.

"Test how much the remnants of these elemental gods know about the power of faith!" With a wave of his arm, a huge magic screen appeared in front of the two of them.

In the magic screen, a 30,000-strong legion temporarily recruited by the Shadow Empire was slowly advancing towards the land of chaos

It wasn't until I had time to ask me why I was doing this to him.

Why do you want to do this to him?

Is he stupid or am I stupid to let a legion of 30,000 people go through a dangerous level on the edge of the Shadow Empire, and then go to the plains to duke it out?

If it were me, I would have pulled a bunch of troops a long time ago. Hold this legion out of the chaos that we have already controlled the vast majority of.

If this army is not wiped out and they are allowed to escape, the order that has been established in the land of chaos will have to be chaotic again.

It's a pity that after West's explanation, I finally realized what it means to be a betrayal.

There are two reasons why everyone is in favor of letting this legion, which looks like a ragtag army, come in and go to the plains to encircle and suppress.

If there is a team of high-level earth mages hidden in this legion, there is a high risk that the dangerous level will become our nightmare.

It is true that a small number of troops can block a large number of troops by using dangerous terrain to deploy defenses, but if there is an earth mage mixed in to play a large area of terrain change, drowning in a mudslide is considered light.

Secondly, we lack scouts to test the information of this legion.

Although the military academy established on the Dwarves has been experimentally cultivating reliable scouts. But far water can't solve near urgency. Spy satellites have a limited resolution. It is also impossible to tell what the true strength of this ragtag army is. What if this disciplined legion was actually made up of a bunch of unruly high-ranking warriors? It is not so easy to play guerrilla warfare with high-level fighters in complex terrain, it is easy to cause us huge casualties, and we have few people and cannot afford to die!

According to the bastard of West. Since we have so many weapons of war. Then the decisive battle will be fought directly on the plains where there are no big tricks. In this way, there will not be too many variables, and the casualties can be controlled within an acceptable range.

The cannon fodder army that Vester is responsible for training was established for this time!

Although what West said seemed to have a little bit of truth, what was the feeling of unhappiness in his heart!

So West, who had just gotten up and explained his tactics. After I kicked the ground a few more times, my heart finally felt comfortable.

Seven days later, on a huge plain in the middle of the Chaos Lands.

It's hard to imagine that if the legion sent by the Phantom Empire was really an elite legion, how could it be possible to travel more than two hundred kilometers for seven days!

In the eyes of all the people who were suspicious, confused, and surprised, and under the layers of inducement by the Human Emperor Alliance led by West, they finally came to the battlefield that we had predetermined.

The scattered marching procession, the disorganized appearance of the troops, most of them let out a cry of terror when they saw the line we had laid out.

"Hey, that's what you call the enemy we need to be careful with?" I kicked Vester in the heel and said with a complicated expression.

"I don't know what to do, but there's never a mistake in being cautious." West shook his head. "Anyway, let's test them first, don't you have that artillery? Let's launch a round and see how it works. ”

Vest's words turned into a magical fluctuation of information between magic crystals, and in the blink of an eye, it was transmitted to the porcupine-class gunship that floated far behind in the clouds.

After training at the Military Academy, the dwarves who were finally able to skillfully operate the naval guns shook the wheel quickly and adjusted the angle of the electromagnetic guns according to the coordinate information assigned by the fire control department.

In just a dozen seconds, the electromagnetic cannon of the main gun class on the gunboat was aimed at the target and sent a signal that it was ready.

"Launch!"

"Launch !!"

Following West's instructions, the captains of the non-existent porcupine-class gunboats roared in unison after hearing the instructions.

The electromagnetic cannon equipped with high-explosive shells, because the initial velocity was too fast, was basically in a state of direct aiming, and the muzzle of the cannon flashed with electric light, and the shells that were almost full of high-energy explosives flew towards the formation of the Shadow Empire army.

"Pay attention to the angle at which the enemy's large magic array rises, find out the enemy's mage position, and attack first!" When the gunboat's muzzle was adjusting the angle, Vest's eyes were fixed on the legion in front of him who was slowly spreading out the formation, and said nervously.

"Execute!" I patted my finger on the magic crystal stuffed in my ear and said to the elven snipers.

An elven sniper equipped with a demon-breaking material is a nightmare for almost all mages, regardless of whether the elf is using a bow or a sniper rifle.

Sou!

The high-explosive shells that came at supersonic speed not only blew out several large holes in the clouds used by the gunboats to hide themselves, but also caused us to cover our ears with the huge air currents set off by the shells flying from behind us.

But even so, everyone's eyes were fixed on the enemy on the opposite side, ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy's mage troops when the magic array rose.

The dazzling artillery shells were fleeting, and in an instant they crossed the distance of about two kilometers between us, burrowed into the enemy's position, and set off a series of huge fireballs.

And the magician on the other side didn't seem to make any moves.

How can it be?

In such a large-scale clan war, the mage is very important, why not defend it?

Could it be that some vicious means are being prepared?

"Gunboat support can't be stopped! Keep shooting! Extended Shooting! "The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and I directly grabbed the command and shouted at the gunboats behind." If the magicians don't come out, we'll blow them down! ”

When Vest shrugged helplessly, the gunboat that received the order adjusted the muzzle of the gun slightly and continued to bombard.

As the electromagnetic cannons on the gunboat continued to roar, layer upon layer of fireballs continued to extend in the position of the Shadow Empire Legion on the opposite side, setting off a rain of blood.

Why can't the magician come out?

Just as I gritted my teeth and watched the number of people on the opposite side dwindle under the bombardment of artillery, and the dwarves on countless gunboats who operated rapid-fire electromagnetic cannons changed into demon-breaking warheads, ready to shoot at the mages who were about to expose their targets, the legions of the Shadow Empire on the opposite side finally had a new move.

After a brief period of confusion with 20,000 men left in stock as we were stunned, the Shadow Empire army threw away its armor and fled in the direction it came.

The bombarding gunboats all seemed to have temporarily stopped their attacks because the observers were in a daze because of the exaggerated performance of the other side.

"Hey, Master Tactician." I kicked West. "What should we do in this situation?"

"Drive them to the checkpoint we occupy, and destroy them together." West, who was also speechless, paused for a moment, then said with a smile.

In that case, let's hurry.

The magic ships that were waiting in the rear landed on our position, loaded the soldiers on the position, and followed the ragged army.

And the gunboats, which keep firing, ensure that these guys will not run to other places to harm the common people because of panic.

A day later, the brutal encirclement began, as the deserters, who were at least three times faster than when they arrived, were stopped by our warriors who had left behind on the borders of the Chaos Lands.

It's not that we don't want to persuade us to surrender, but with only 10,000 mobile troops, it is impossible for us to have enough men to guard the prisoners.

It is impossible for the more than 10,000 people who are still alive to let them go back completely, increase the population resources of the Shadow Empire, which is not very populous, and bring back our detailed information.

In the midst of everyone's silence, the gunboats began to fire on the surrounded troops.

Wait, what's that feeling?! (To be continued......)
