In fact, the plan of the god of war was even crazier than I thought, and after going around in place for a few circles, the Legion of Light began to consider other ways to determine the direction, first they tried to rely on the angel's flight ability to fly high in the air to determine the direction, only to find that the forest was completely covered by a layer of boundless fog, and it was impossible to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. The angels themselves can fly out, but the army is not full of angels, once the angels fly out, they can't find their way back, and then the people inside will really be trapped inside.

In desperation, the Legion of Light began to study and use the stupidest method, that is, to start opening a way out like the military god arranged, regardless of the south, east, west, as long as it can leave the forest. But the people who opened the way became a big problem. Paladins are not lumberjacks, they can cut people, and they can cut trees hands-free. The angels are all great lords, commanding them to cut down trees? What international jokes? Priest? Is that labor? In the end, the remaining ones are the mages, and everyone can only shake their heads when they look at these mages.

After discussing and discussing, the paladin had to take on the job of a woodcutter, and if he didn't have an axe, he would use a sword to chop, anyway, they had practiced when they were repairing those siege equipment, but now they need to cut more. So there was an amazing scene in the forest, dozens of paladins lined up in a horizontal line, and under the order of the captain next to them, they neatly played a row of fighting slashes, and the big trees in front of them fell in response. The knights went up to resist the big tree to the side and restored the fighting spirit by the way, and the knights in the back row rushed up to do another fighting spirit, and then went up to lift the tree to restore the fighting spirit. Tens of thousands of high-level paladins just blasted their way forward with their fighting spirit, and the speed was not much slower than the scorpion wood harvester of our guild, but people worked harder.

While the paladins are struggling to clear the way, our side is not idle, and the strategic computer of the god of war cannot increase the combat effectiveness of the army. The function of the other place is to maximize the effectiveness of the limited troops, and to make full use of every bit of the role of every person and every piece of equipment. Because of this characteristic of the military god land, none of us want to be idle. Even if the army of light is trapped now, we still can't be idle. I was assigned to start planting trees outside the forest with a large number of people.

There are our Scout Mosquitoes near the legions of the Temple of Light. So we know exactly where they are going. And the request of the god of war is to expand the forest outward along the direction of their felling, increasing the time they cut down. In addition, the water and fire mages in the guild were also concentrated. The task of the water mages is to extract water from a designated area in the forest and throw it elsewhere, anyway, as long as the concentration of water in the designated area is reduced. The Fire Mage Land quest is the opposite of the Water Mage, where they are tasked with temporarily extracting fire elements to fill a designated area in the forest. In addition to these two types of mages, the god of war also prepared a large group of air archers and wind mages. I can probably guess that the god of war is going to set fire, but it's not too clear why so many archers were prepared, probably to shoot the fleeing enemy!

The ground is very smooth, the Temple of Light is very smooth to cut trees, and we are also very smooth to plant trees. Of course, the gang that was ready to set the fire was also very smooth. The Legion of Light finally broke through the original forest area on the morning of the 23rd, if we didn't replant outside. They were already out of the forest. However, they are still surrounded by a large number of trees, as a large area of rapid forest has been newly planted here. There will be so many dryads in this bank, and the speed of planting trees is faster than they can cut down, isn't it easy to build a small forest?

These newly grown trees are all forcibly spawned in an environment with high concentrations of fire elements, which are completely different from naturally growing trees. It looks similar, but when it actually burns up, you'll see what's special. High Priest Cohoma and Constantine had already noticed the change in the situation. They had no impression of the size of the forest, but they felt an imbalance in the elements. The elements in nature are roughly average. At most, there are a little more water and earth elements in the forest, and there should not be such a high concentration of fire elements. Now in this environment, the flame element is so thick that a single fireball technique can create a giant fireball with a diameter of thirty meters, which is obviously wrong. In addition, the mages of the Temple of Light also found that the water elemental seemed to be gone, and the air was restlessly restless, which was obviously a human factor.

Although he has been tricked by the god of war so many times, it is because his computing power is not as good as that of the god of war, not that these people in the Temple of Light are big fools. After discovering this abnormal fire elemental, everyone immediately realized that someone was trying to set it on fire. But the idea was a little too late. Even if such a large army finds a problem, it will not be able to react immediately. Just as they began to make an emergency retreat and prepare to clear a firebreak, the situation had already begun to change.

First, a few griffon knights say that the griffons smell strange smells, and then it is determined that the smell comes from the fog above the forest. The fog has been there since the army entered the forest, and the height is so amazing that the angels have tried to fly upwards to the top of the fog, but it has all been in vain. The fog prevented the angels from seeing their surroundings and obscured the sky. At the critical moment when the magnet compass was failing to function all over the forest, the Legion of Light could have relied on the stars to discern the direction, but with this layer of fog, let alone the stars, even the moon could not be seen. However, although this fog is very annoying, it is not aggressive, so everyone did not pay much attention, but the current fog is obviously very different from before, as if it is not the white water vapor that it used to be, but a yellow-green strange gas with a lot of peculiar smell.

Konstantin also took a few sharp breaths after getting the report and felt it. "Strange, I don't think I've smelled it anywhere!"

The High Priest and the Left and Right Elders also sniffed, and as a result, they all hesitated. Suddenly, Elder Zuo's servant shouted. "I remember."

"You know?" Everyone turned to this servant together.

The servant immediately said, "Report to the elder, this is the smell of lamp oil." Every night when you are working, I change the lamp oil for you, because the lamp oil smells when it burns, so everyone feels as if they have smelled it somewhere. ”

"Oh, it's lamp oil!" Elder Zuo first finished speaking calmly. Then he suddenly reacted and jumped three feet high. "What? You repeat? Is that lamp oil? ”

Just now, the leaders of the temple have realized that we may be going to set fires, and now they have suddenly found lamp oil, so it is strange that they are not in a hurry to jump to their feet. But it was too late to jump, and a large cloud of fire oil vapor had completely covered their sky. As long as a small Mars and half a forest will be blown up into the sky.

These fire oils are a plan made by the god of war, and he plans to use cloudburst bombs, but there is no such high-tech weapon in the game, so he has to use the soil method. The fire oil is first heated in a large pot, and then the fire oil vapor is formed. This process is basically equivalent to frying explosives in an iron pot, which is purely fatal. Fortunately, we have a large number of water mages who can use the water element to stabilize these oils and make them float without being ignited. After finally getting the gas cloud right, it was the work of the qi mages, and they used the breeze to control the cloud and gradually replace the ordinary fog created by the little dragon girls and divine beasts with immortal arts. The divine beasts can't be idle at this time, they have to carefully control the weather. This large cloud of oil vapor is an air-fueled bomb that has completed a period of explosion. As long as there is another little Mars, no one can run away. The divine beasts must control the lightning in the sky, and there must be no cloud discharge. Not to mention landing mines, even static electricity between clouds can ignite and detonate it.

The Legion of Light realized that the situation was not right, and immediately supported the protective shield, but the protective shield that was supported in a hurry was not tight, and many people were not protected inside. And even if it is protected, it may not be safe, such a large area of burning clouds, the power is not as strong as ordinary two.

Ten minutes before the Temple of Light reacted. Outside the forest, the communication stone carried by the personnel of the Guild was simultaneously sounding the command of the military god. "Clear the scene, evacuate all personnel as much as possible, and report the location as soon as they reach the safe area."

All of us began to retreat, leaving no one behind, either the reconnaissance unit or the sneak attackers. The Scouts are highly mobile troops, and they retreat very quickly, running clean in less than ten minutes, and this is the moment when the Legion of Light discovers the smell of gas clouds.

"One last verification, it was confirmed that all reconnaissance units had withdrawn from the forest area. Those who have not been evacuated within 10 seconds will report to me, otherwise they will bear the consequences. Ten seconds later, the military god continued: "Confirm that the clearance is complete, please all the personnel near the detonation area to find a shelter protruding from the ground to hide, please try to lower your body close to the ground, and it is best to use a protective shield if possible." Please close your eyes and face the ground, do not open your eyes, and do not look directly at the explosion area to avoid burning your eyes from bright light. Cover your ears with your hands and open your mouth when lying down to prevent your eardrum from rupturing. Give you three minutes to prepare. ”

Three minutes passed quickly, and I simply asked the rose vine to dig a hole in the ground for me and get in. The destructive effect of the cloudburst bomb on the underground facilities only acts on the explosion area, so far away there will only be air currents, and there will not be too strong underground shock waves, and the cloud is not a ground-penetrating bomb.

Three minutes passed after I hid, and the voice of the military god was loud again. "Confirm that the concealment is complete, and count down the last ten seconds. Ten...... Three, two, one, detonation. "Two scout mosquitoes hidden in the clouds collided at this moment, and a small spark was created.

Despite covering his ears, the sound was still unimaginably loud. The hole in the ground that the rose vine had dug for me almost collapsed in a shake, but the rose vine had been wrapping around me and helping me carry the dirt nearby. A large crystal ball was shielded and sent out of the ground, it was my video equipment, and I was going to record it and go back and enjoy it.

The entire cave shook for three seconds before it was completely quiet, but the surface was not so calm, and the power of the gas cloud eruption was both high temperature and shockwave. The typhoon-like shockwave was nerfed a lot in the forest, but the overall amount was still strong, and some of our players were almost blown away by the wind because they underestimated the power of the explosion and didn't find proper cover. My rose vine caught a sloppy ghost who had been blown from the front, and this guy had the audacity to stand there and watch the explosion, flashing so much that his eyes were blown away, and if I hadn't happened to be here, he would have hung up for nothing.

However, although many people on our side were injured by mistake, this indirectly shows how powerful the explosion was. The trees throughout the forest all fell outwards centered on the point of the explosion, forming an eerie circle. A few minutes after the blast, there was still a dead silence in the forest. However, the casualties of the Legion of Light were not heavy. Only the people in the middle of the heart explosion were all crushed into meatloaf, and almost none of the people who were a little further out of the field died. The improvised shields withstood most of the blast's force, but the shock wave only injured a lot of people, so it looked as if everyone had fallen to the ground. Actually, it's not that strict.

It took more than ten minutes for someone in the center of the forest to climb up, and if it weren't for the fact that our guild people ran too far to avoid the power of the explosion, they would have been able to kill a lot of enemies in these ten minutes. It's a pity that it doesn't work anymore. But we're not worried, because the god of war's serial scheme isn't over.

The real means of destroying the enemy by the god of war should be the forest fire that has been planned for a long time, but the Legion of Light is different from ordinary troops, they have a large number of priests, and no one can compare to them in this regard. In addition to the priests, they also had a large number of mages and angels. Mages can create shields, and both angels and priests can regenerate magic. The defense of such an army is very strong. Although forest fires are powerful, forests are not matches after all, and it takes a long time for a huge fire to ignite. The Legion of Light is trapped in the forest. But as long as they were prepared, they were not afraid of fire at all, so the military god planned this explosion.

The explosion of a cloud of fire oil can create a strong shock wave, the effect of which is not to kill people, but to injure people and disrupt order. With everyone wounded, it is not so easy for the Legion of Light to organize defense. In addition, the one with the strictest explosion damage is the mage. If the mage is injured, he will not be able to support the magic shield, and the army of light will not be able to resist the fire. Other than that. The power of the explosion will destroy the forest, and the system will determine that the fallen tree will be considered firewood, and the burning effect of firewood and trees in the game is different, and it is easier for trees that become firewood to burn.

The explosion just now did not ignite the forest, the flames of the explosion were instantaneous and did not set the wood on fire. Moreover, the vapor mist of fire oil was detonated in the form of a cloud explosion, and they consumed all the oxygen here, and an oxygen-free environment appeared over the forest in more than ten seconds, and the fire naturally could not burn the ground.

During the time when the people of the Legion of Light got back up. The air currents have returned oxygen to the area, and now is the perfect time to set it on fire. With the command of the god of war, the thousands of players and dragons around the forest immediately began to set fires. Wood that absorbs a lot of fire is particularly flammable, and there is an extreme lack of water nearby, so that the flame cannot be suppressed by anything. Several of the ignition points caught fire together, and the wind mage immediately began to fan the flames, and the flames jumped and burned.

The Legion of Light soon spotted the flames, and their first reaction was to let the water mages extinguish the fire, but unfortunately, the nearby water elementals had been basically drained. Those water mages took a lot of effort to summon a few drops of water, which were almost like tears, let alone extinguishing the fire, and they couldn't drink enough. The water mage was ineffective, and Marshal Konstantin immediately thought of supporting the protective shield, but after looking around, he found that most of the mages were injured, and there were few people who could support the protective shield. But this approach is clearly not enough. Many people don't actually know the power of forest fires, and the ones that come out of the news on TV are fires that have been extinguished, and the fire in the central area of the real forest fire is very large. Sometimes the flames can rise more than 100 meters high, printing half of the sky red, and a wall will not play a role in such an environment. Although the flame cannot pass through the earthen wall, the flame can transmit the heat. The inside of the retaining wall soon broke through the 500-degree mark, and the trees lying on the ground began to spontaneously combust without encountering open flames.

Seeing that the first fire-retaining wall could not hold back the flames, Konstantin immediately ordered the earth mages to summon the earth men to extinguish the fire. Earth-type minions aren't afraid of fire, at least this ignition doesn't work for them. Although the forests inside the firewall continued to spontaneously combust, the dirt people were always able to extinguish them in time, and then Konstantin simply ordered everyone to go up and directly turn over the soil to cover the trees inside the firewall under the earth, so that they would not burn.

After a night of fighting, the fire was not completely extinguished until the morning of the 24th. The Legion of Light fought all night, and finally nearly 10 million people survived, and more than four million of them were angel troops, which means that the Angel Legion had almost no losses. But at this time, whether it is an angel or a paladin, they all look similar, all like black people. Except for teeth and eyes, there was no other color on the whole body, and everywhere was pitch black, like a group of miners. But they were happy with their current situation, and compared to the charred corpses lying on the scorched earth, curled up in a ball, they considered themselves lucky enough. Four million people died in the fire, and the vicinity was full of corpses, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt human flesh, and those who smoked it wanted to vomit.

Speaking of which, the fire was not all disaster, at least the road came out. The forest has been burned to the ground, and you can see the head at a glance, and the road after that is no longer difficult to find, and you can already see the location of the collapsed mountain from here. Konstantin had a headache when he saw the mountain range, if it hadn't been collapsed a few days ago, the more than 20 million troops of the Legion of Light would have razed Tianyu City to the ground. But it was this mountain separation that made the Bright Legion walk for several more days, and lost more than half of its personnel. When it came out, the army of 25 million was mighty and majestic, but now there were only 10 million wounded soldiers like black monkeys. Such a big gap made Konstantin a little unacceptable, and it felt like a dream these days.

However, despite the heavy losses, Konstantin quickly recovered. As the supreme military commander, if even he is defeated, then how can the soldiers still fight? Konstantin quickly found the left and right elders and the high priest. At present, the whole army is as black as briquettes, and it really takes a lot of trouble to find these three people. As soon as they discussed together, they felt that the hope of conquering Tianyu City was still great.

The Legion of Light also has some information in its hands, and it mentions in detail the strength of our guild. They know that we have just about 10 million troops, and they are still slightly more numerous. In addition, they also know that our defense forces are all newly purchased soldiers, and they are not very high-end, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Angel Legion, and they can only be on par with the paladins. Although their army has been trekking hard in the past few days and its military strength has declined, since it is already higher, it should not be a problem to draw now. And on the premise of having an advantage in numbers, the overall victory can be guaranteed by not falling behind alone.

With this point of view in mind, the Legion of Light immediately regained its fighting spirit after a short rest. They first returned to the river before entering the forest, washed off all the black ash on their bodies, and then gathered up the food that could still be eaten in the fire. It's funny, a fire turned all the corn in the Temple of Light into popcorn. Although ordinary rice has not become fried rice, at least it has been cooked on the kang, and it can still be eaten, but it is a bit of a tooth to eat. As for dry food such as bread, most of it turned into baked bread and baked biscuits. The vegetables have all become dehydrated vegetables, Hujib has become dried Jibu, and Chinese cabbage has become rolled cabbage, and they are all dried anyway.

Despite the harsh conditions, Konstantin still commanded such an army to form a formation in front of Tianyu City before dark on the twenty-fourth, and tomorrow morning it should be a decisive battle. However, the situation on both sides is completely different. The Legion of Light looks like they are holding back their strength, but the players and NPCs of the Guild here in Tianyu City are what they should do, and they don't have the slightest intention of fighting, as for the reason, ......! It's a secret.
