Chapter 562: Choosing a Field Battle

Soon, the first officer spoke in favor of the option of abandoning the walls. The officer who first understood this was actually the tall and thin guy who was talking nonsense before, which made Yu Fei a little surprised.

"Legion Commander, I think it's better for us to choose to abandon the city walls. Cirek City, in fact, there is no need to defend anymore. This wall can't play a defensive role at all, and I think it's more reliable than street fighting. "These are the words of the tall and thin officer.

Those who can achieve the position of high-level officers are generally not only relatively strong, but also have a relatively high sensitivity in war. I subconsciously wanted to choose to stick to the city wall before, just because of the habit I had been having. After Paramount stopped them from making an immediate choice to make them think about it, the officers' minds quickly turned.

Yes, there is really no need to defend this wall! Under normal circumstances, the role of the wall is to be used to defend it, allowing ranged troops and mages inside the city to inflict effective damage on enemies outside the city. But now, the walls of Ciric City are not as useful as they should be.

On the contrary, in order to keep the walls intact, the magicians were tired like dead dogs. As far as the mage group under Yu Fei's command is concerned, if it weren't for the shift system and the reserve team, those magicians would have been unable to hold on for a long time.

In that case, it's better to just leave the city wall alone. The choice to actually make, that is, street fighting or field fighting.

There is no doubt that Paramount and the officers around him will choose to fight in the field.

Generally speaking, street fighting is a concern that it will cause disaster to the inhabitants of the city, but the inhabitants of Cirek have long since been relocated. Don't worry about that.

But the key thing is. In street fighting. The role of the Mage Tower is not reflected. Although the war magic amplified by the Mage Tower is powerful, it is impossible to control it flexibly with the magic cast by a single mage himself.

If there is a street fight between the Orcs in Ciric City, then the magic released by the Mage Tower will have to worry about whether it will accidentally damage the allies. The mage group can only let the magicians rely on their own magic to fight, and their influence on the battle situation is greatly reduced.

Although the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army combined were a little more numerically than the orcs attacking Ciric City, the average strength of the troops was far inferior to that of the orcs. If the mage can't play a big role, the battlefield will definitely be one-sided.

And if you choose to go out of the city to fight, it seems that you have given up the advantages brought by the city wall, but in fact, it is to liberate the mage tower. War magic from mage towers that increase magic range. It can reach about five or six hundred meters outside the city.

With the support of the Mage Tower, even if the average strength of the human troops is not comparable to that of the orcs, they still have the power to fight. Instead of passively waiting for the orcs to break through the city walls and start street battles; It's better to take the initiative and start a field battle with the orcs with the support of the mage tower.

Soon, the officers unanimously passed the decision to abandon the walls and take the initiative to fight the orcs. As for Yu Fei on the side, he did not express his opinion, so he was ignored by the officers.

Well, do you really see yourself as a classic magician who doesn't know anything about foreign affairs? Yu Fei was slandered in his heart, but he had some appreciation for Paramount. This big-headed soldier still has two brushes. I made a decision and was bold and quick.

Indeed, there was so much to say about this short meeting. But it took less than three minutes to make a final decision. Under Paramount's assignment, the officers hurried down the city, each taking charge of his own team or informing the New Fourth Army.

Twenty minutes later, the walls of Ciric were in tatters. On the side that Yu Fei observed, although the earthy yellow light emanating from the mage tower had been trying to heal the cracks and holes that had appeared in the city wall, it could not take care of the east and the west.

Just below Yu Fei, a group of wolf cavalry had already dug a large hole in the city wall. The earthy yellow light that spread over was often split by the wolf cavalry before it could be repaired. See, this place is about to be opened.

That's not going to work. Yu Fei frowned. In his psychic sense, although the human forces in the city have almost gathered, there are still many troops that are still regrouping, and it will take at least five minutes. It would not be a good thing to let these wolf cavalry attack the city wall like this.

Well, I also have the position of the head of the Eighth Army Mage Regiment, so I have to show my ability. There are now two people left in the city, Paramount and Yu Fei, but Paramount is heading towards the city and directing the large army, and he doesn't notice the situation under the city for the time being.

The flag-waving Paramount suddenly felt a ripple sweep over him, and he couldn't help but shudder. Turning his head, he looked at Yu Fei, who had always been covered in black robes and was extremely mysterious. As a warrior who was not weak, he keenly felt that the ripples seemed to emanate from the body of this Earl Oberline, the head of the mage regiment.

At this glance, Paramount noticed that Yu Fei was observing his feet. His gaze was immediately drawn to the situation of the city wall at his feet.

When Paramount found that the city wall was about to be cut through by a group of wolf cavalry, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The troops are not yet fully mobilized, and if the orcs attack the city now, it will surely cause a great rout.

But by the time he had the idea, the wolf cavalry was dead. Whether it was the wolf cavalry who continued to chop along the hole in the city wall that was carved out, or the wolf cavalry who expanded the entrance or chopped other parts of the city wall outside, as long as they were within a hundred meters of Yu Fei, they all fell silently.

These wolf cavalrymen did not have a single scar on their bodies, and even their eyes were still wide open. It's just that the light in this eye has disappeared cleanly.

Paramount, the wolf cavalry inside the cave, was hard to see, but he could see clearly from outside. The fall of those wolf cavalry was instantly connected by the ripples emanating from him and Yu Fei's bodies.

Is this a spiritual magician? Paramount was a little unsure, as psychic mages were relatively rare, and even he hadn't seen a few.

By the way, Count Oberline! Why didn't I think of it! Paramount suddenly remembered the name of this Count Oberline, whom he had heard before. Because this count is a nobleman who has a relationship with the St. Child family.

It is said that this mysterious earl was indeed a powerful spiritual magician, and the origin of his title was to rescue the son of the head of the House of St. Child through spiritual magic. If the head of the mage regiment who arrived with His Majesty's letter of appointment in front of him was really the legendary Earl Oberlinen, it would be easier to destroy these wolf cavalry under the city without a word.

The thoughts were spinning in Paramount's head, but suddenly a voice rang out in his ears. "I can only maintain a spiritual attack within a range of about 100 meters, protect this hole below, and let the army assemble and attack faster!"

This was Yu Fei's voice, and there was a hint of command in his tone. However, Paramount didn't care about this, and hurriedly continued to wave the flag and command the soldiers of the Eighth Army in the city, preparing to rush out of Ciric City.

In fact, if Yu Fei wanted to do it with all his might, how could he only kill and injure the wolf cavalry within a hundred meters. However, this is a battle for the Holy Lion Empire, and he still has to maintain his legendary level. As a mage, he is unwilling and unwilling to show stronger strength.

With Yu Fei's delay, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in Ciric City were finally assembled before the wolf cavalry could open another road on the city wall, and were ready to pour out of Cirek City.

Of course, the gates of Ciric City are so big that it is impossible for the more than 300,000 troops in the city to rush out of the city at once. Before that, you need to kill or drive away the wolf cavalry that is clinging to the walls.

And this requires the Mage Tower to do it. The Mage Tower in Cirek stopped continuing to emit yellow light to repair the walls, and instead replaced it with offensive war magic. (To be continued......)
