Eight hundred and forty-two is really boring war and legendary fear
Princess Ariel was robbed, and the Red Alliance army relied on air superiority to enter a no-man's land in Hadlang, and snatching the core of the protective enchantment, including the five cities including the king, was even more of a mockery of Chiguoguo, they still lacked this?
All of this happened right under Don's nose, he was the commander of the Imperial Southern Legion with an army of 100,000.
Helplessness and anger were followed by great panic and shame, but Tang En still reported the bad news to the empress truthfully as soon as possible, and at the same time stated the dilemma he was facing.
The Empress apparently knew what had happened to Princess Ariel before Donn, and she didn't seem surprised, but she was a little depressed. She stated that the Kingdom of Hadran would be temporarily reorganized into an Imperial Governorate, to be administered by a governor sent by the Empire.
Don also understands that the empress is erasing Princess Ariel's political identity to prevent the Red Union from using her to do anything.
The Empress didn't blame Donn too much, she just asked him to do his best. Governor Hadron will fully support Donn in the military, political and civil affairs, in short, at least ten days and half a month first. The Empress also informed Donn that Prell City was allowed to be neutral and that he had to pay no attention to it.
As Donn knew, the Empress's focus was on the direction of Khor, and even where her main floating fleet would appear.
As for Donne's troubles, the Empress did not sit idly by. She will give Donn more and more elite Wizard Fighter troops, and at least five Legends have already made their way to Hadron. In addition, there are two "Royal Legendary Magicians" in the Hadron Kingdom, and they are located in the important place of Hadlang, and the tactics of the Red Federation using elite squads to sneak attack are not effective.
Tang En's morale was greatly boosted, with seven legends, plus the ten floating ships he left behind, carrying thousands of elites who were good at squad combat, Hadrang's hinterland should be as stable as the Divine Emperor Castle.
Flying back to the front, Donn deployed overnight. Now that the rear is stable, he can attack with peace of mind.
On the morning of the next day, the three corps of the Dawning Empire were in front and two corps in the rear, protected by the military unity boundary, and an offensive line of four or five kilometers wide and two or three kilometers deep was discharged, and launched an attack on the Red Union position ten kilometers away with Prell Castle as the node.
At this time, the attack queue will not be as dense and neat as in the old days, and each enchantment is filled with magic chariots in front, and soldiers in various magic chariots behind. All kinds of ray gun trucks and machine gun trucks are distributed among them, which are responsible for air defense.
Dozens of magic guide cannons roared in the rear, and hundreds of magic guide fighters were overwhelming in the air, like a magic guide mechanized army.
However, this army with a total of nearly 30,000 people cannot stand a closer look, the models of magic chariots are complicated, and the magic chariots carrying soldiers are also varied, and there are even two-headed demon turtles that are drawn by magical beasts.
This is already an elite army under Donn, who has been a recruiter on Richie's side for a while, and has some knowledge of modern warfare. Knowing that under the three-dimensional fire of the magic guide cannon and the magic guide plane, the infantry would have to withstand artillery fire within ten kilometers, and the soldiers must be pulled within the range of the magic guide gun as soon as possible by the magic guide car.
As for the magic guide cars, there are all kinds of speeds, so that the entire army can only maintain a speed of ten kilometers per hour. Without sufficiently detailed communication support, the legions could only attack in the direction specified in advance, and Don did not care about these details.
The city of Prell was just east of the battlefield, and countless people flocked to the west of the city to watch the battle.
Merchants erected high platforms, set up eagle glasses, and offered them the opportunity to witness modern warfare firsthand for a few gold bushels. The wealthy merchants also built VIP rooms with huge screens showing live footage from the Wizard's Eye.
Seeing that this battlefield was about to be watched by the whole city of Prell, and even through the trade winds network and the magic network, Donn's army was covered by a thick fog. Thick fog overflowed from the army unity and soon obscured most of the battlefield.
This is another of Don's insurance, and each legion is equipped with a magician who is good at creating magical smoke, and guards against the Red Alliance's magic planes and magic cannons to accurately attack the military unity world.
The old military unity world has struggled to cope with the magic cannons and magic bombs that shoot pellets, but at least it can weaken the magic effects of the magic cannons and defend against those ray cannons and spell amplifiers with special effects. As the defending side, the Red Union has also set up five military unity boundaries, which shows that the enchantment is still indispensable.
As for the bombs dropped by the magic fighters, and the shells fired by the catapults, at least they can be taken off the spot.
Donn's caution disappointed the Sprill City audience, who could only focus on artillery and air combat.
The number of Red Alliance's magic guide cannons and magic guide fighters was obviously less than that of the empire's side, but after more than ten minutes, the empire's magic guide cannon died down. Half an hour later, most of the imperial fighters in the sky were also cleared, and although the rest were still fighting tenaciously, the tragic situation of being surrounded and beaten made most of the audience feel pity.
Each "shiny" disintegrated in the air, or fell to the ground with flames, causing the audience in Prell City to sigh and sigh. Each "Ash Flutter" suffered the same fate, which would have provoked enthusiastic cheers.
As a spectator on the neutral side, it is natural to sympathize with the weak and rejoice in every hair lost by the strong.
An hour later, the air battle came to an end, and there were few Imperial fighters left in the sky. Salmon, much thicker than sardines, entered and rained down bombs. The light and thunder continued in the fog, and it was only then that the audience noticed the battle on the ground.
To their dismay, they discovered that the ground battle was almost over.
The fog was already approaching the Red Union defense line, and out of the fog came the scattered foot soldiers, all of them lost their souls and looked dazed.
Before they could assemble or find suitable cover, the wandering magic chariots on the Red Union line opened fire.
Bursts of flames, a rain of steel, and orange rays washed away the survivors who didn't know what terrible things had happened, and the soldiers suddenly collapsed, turned and ran.
This made the audience extremely puzzled, the morale of the Imperial Legion was very high, why did it collapse all of a sudden?
Then they saw several light gray figures like spirit snakes swimming on the side of the mist, twitching, constantly moving in and out......
Each figure was put together by more than a dozen magic chariots, and those who were familiar with the equipment of the Red Alliance Legion could recognize it at a glance.
All are five pairs of wheels, which are classified differently depending on their size and the weapons they carry.
Carrying a slender barrel, the largest is the Jackdaw Chariot, carrying a nine-rate magic cannon and sturdy armor.
Armed only with multiple machine guns were the Infantry Fighting Vehicles, each capable of carrying a dozen or so infantry armed with regimental arms.
The others were similar to the jackdaws, but with much thicker barrels, and the cormorant cannon was a small catapult.
There is only a round turret, and there is not even a barrel of a parrot and a swan-ray gun carriage, which fire arcane rays and freezing rays, respectively.
With a boom and a machine gun is the Vulture Field Repair Vehicle, which is responsible for towing and repairing damaged vehicles.
In addition to these five pairs of wheels, you can occasionally see a strange eight-legged magic guide car suddenly appearing in the air, which is more familiar to the audience, which is the shadow spider reconnaissance and command vehicle.
When the fog gradually cleared, leaving the wreckage of countless magic guide cars in the battlefield, people suddenly realized.
Tang En used the fog to cover the Imperial Legion, and the Red Union also used the fog cover to use these chariot detachments to insert the legion from the side, destroying the Imperial Legion's magic chariot and the military unity realm one by one.
The Imperial Legion is supposed to be equipped with an observation supernatural or magician, but it can't compare to the Red Alliance, which even ordinary soldiers are equipped with spider eyepieces that can pierce through the fog, and the Shadow Spider Chariot with detection capabilities comparable to the legendary.
Attacked by these tank squads of the Red Alliance, the Imperial Legion not only lost a lot of technical equipment, but the morale of the officers and soldiers also dropped to freezing point in one blow after another. By the time they barely broke out of the fog and faced the Red Union's fire line, the soldiers who could still shoot were incredibly strong.
"What a boring war......"
The citizens of Prell expressed the same sentiments as Finn, the commander of the Red Alliance.
"Very well, we at least rushed to the enemy's position! And we didn't die many, someone had everything!"
In the afternoon, in the headquarters of the Imperial Legion, Don encouraged his subordinates so much, and bitterness also flowed in his heart.
He understood that the Red Union only focused on technical equipment and raised the muzzle of the gun on the personnel.
After all, many people over there are Hadron people, and many grassroots and even middle-level officers are still recruited by themselves.
"Now we also understand that we can't defeat the enemy with magic equipment, and that's their strength. ”
Don said to the five legion commanders who were eager to poke their jaws into their chests, "Whether it is a war or a battle, we must make the most of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, think about what are our advantages?"
Today's battle used the most elite regiments, and everyone from the corps commander to the soldiers felt that they were too good. Tang En had expected such an outcome, and he had not failed to make them realize the reality beforehand.
As for the smoke, the fundamental purpose is to keep as many people as possible, and it doesn't matter what the equipment is.
Tang En said earnestly: "Our advantage is people, we have a lot of people, our people are strong-willed, and our morale is high. As long as we show the determination to sacrifice our lives for the faith, the enemy will inevitably be defeated in this contest of wills!"
Seeing that the Legion Commanders had regained their confidence, Tang En's heart was heavy, and his true strategy could not be explained to any of his subordinates.
Use the flesh of your soldiers to scare your enemies and the Red Unions from Hadron, Tangus, Norton, Redstone, and Sachiton. Since their belief is to liberate mortals and eliminate oppression, it is not good to put too heavy a hand on ordinary soldiers.
As long as they retreated, even if it was a step back, it was the victory that the Empress needed.
Even if they don't retreat, the blood debt they owe will show how brutal they are and inspire the people of the empire to hate them even more.
As the Empress said, it was also a battle of faith.
Before, Don never thought that he would do this, that he would take advantage of the kindness of his opponents, that he would use the soldiers as sacrifices, but now he didn't have much of a psychological barrier.
Not only for the sake of victory, but he also believed that Theresia, as a goddess, would bring those pious souls into the kingdom of God, just as he had hoped for himself.
"Tomorrow it will be thousands or even tens of thousands of casualties......
He still couldn't bear to cover up the casualty report handed in by the legion, the morning battle only lasted for an hour, and his side lost more than 80 magic guide fighters and 20 magic guide cannons. The five legions lost most of their magic equipment, killed more than 400 people in battle, and seriously wounded more than 700.
As for the results......
All that can be confirmed is that six fighters of the opposing side were shot down, as well as a dozen or so combat vehicles abandoned by the enemy on the battlefield, and there was not a single corpse.
There should be dead people over there, right?
As Tang En was thinking so, the attendant rushed in again: "Iron Crown City and the other three cities have been attacked again!"
For a moment, Don wanted to laugh.
Great! The commander on the other side thought that he would not have a long memory, and he must not have known that there was not only a rapid response force left in the hinterland of Hadrang, but also seven legends!
With great longing, he asked, "How ......is the situation?"
The attendant twitched his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
West of Hadlang, Earldom of Behemia.
The castle that originally belonged to Aurora Behemia, along with the title of Count of Behemia, belonged to Rowanna Behemia.
When Richie gave up his title, Aurora did the same. Later, Rowanna was valued by the Empress and wanted to transfer her to Sachidon or Norton, and her request was to inherit the title of House of Behemia.
Now she has got her wish, moved into her niece's castle, and moved her magic tower next to the castle, turning the castle into a podium of the magic tower.
The terrain is open enough to accommodate her Mirage workshop. The town that Li Qi and she had looked at at the beginning had long been unable to let go of her wealth, industry and ambitions.
At this moment, she stood on the terrace on the top floor of the magic tower, looking at the flickering flames in the distance, feeling the vibrations coming from there, and her expression changed.
The city there was attacked by the Red Alliance forces, who came from the sky in a magic plane and descended directly above the town hall to seize the nuclear crystals of the protective barrier as they did yesterday.
The news that even Princess Ariel had been kidnapped yesterday had spread throughout the cities of the Hadran Kingdom, and all cities had stepped up their vigilance. But they don't have enough anti-aircraft weapons, and no matter how many guards there are, it's hard to compete with enemies who all have heroic levels.
But they can stall for time, as long as they hold the enemy for a while, not only the floating ship force left behind by Earl Don can rush to support, but also a number of legends.
Listening to the dense gunfire, they knew that the city's resistance was extremely fierce, because they knew that there was a legend next to them, and that he was also an imperial magician.
According to the agreement between the empire and the royal magicians, the royal magicians are obliged to lend a helping hand in the hostile situation and disasters next to the fiefdom.
"The old lady has tens of thousands of gold bushels every day, let the old lady go and work hard for you pariahs!?"
After the mayor's request for help through a magic message, Rowanna cursed hatefully.
Of course, she didn't forget to scold the dog man and woman: "This is Li Qi and Aurora deliberately slapping me in the face......! Hmph!"
Thinking that if she had eaten someone before Aurora, she might not have such a career as she is now, she was both happy and unwilling to snort.
"Send a team of guards to deal with it......"
Scolding and scolding, she really can't sit idly by and ignore this. At the moment, Teresia is looking for a thorn in the mage to clean up, so as to cooperate with her order holy war, and if she is accused of not fulfilling her duty, she will inevitably run into her gun.
Then her heart ached again, even if she was dealing with the scene, most of the people who sent it over would not come back with all their beards and tails. Her apprentices are all academics, and the guards are all mercenaries, and the money she usually raises is not the same as the money she gets to do dangerous work.
If it was a trivial matter, she could solve it with a wave of her hand, and in the past, she could enjoy the admiration of the untouchables as a distraction. Fees can be ...... No, those guys from the Red United Commandos are not easy to mess with, although it is impossible for them to lose in a hard fight, they have to break their muscles and bones, which is too cost-effective.
Rowanna had been involved in the design of the Legion's armament subsystem before, and that was a long time ago. That's when she understood how much this thing would improve the transcendent. Now that the other party's equipment must have improved a lot, she doesn't think that her guards can win steadily.
"Looks like I'm thinking more about my own safety......
Rowanna thought so, gritted her teeth and ordered a team of guards to go over and take a look, and deliberately told them not to take it too seriously, after all, the other party's purpose was just to grab things.
The escort set off in a floating car, and Rowanna secretly muttered that the Red Union commandos had also withdrawn when the best escort arrived.
A blue light suddenly shot from the sky, blasting a large cloud of debris on a sardine fighter plane circling and alerting.
The blue light shot through the warplane, turning into a huge projection over the city, a magician with a long staff and white beard.
"The legendary magician Adenus is here!
The shouts of justice that resounded in the sky and the image of the fairy wind bones, combined with the falling magic guide fighter, made the comer look incomparably majestic. Rowanna didn't have to use her legendary perception to hear the cheers erupt in the city.
Rowanna breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, there is a second stunned person who makes a move......"
Then she saw a seemingly ordinary salmon fighter in the clouds pounce, leaving three people a hundred meters above the ground, and Rowanna's heart skipped a beat.
Her face turned pale a little: "No......"
There was a sudden movement in the city, with blue, pale gold, dark gold, and bright red light continuously, and the sound of explosions continued, and the smoke and dust soared into the sky.
More than ten minutes later, another image was projected in the sky, and it was the legendary magician Adanas.
The old man's clothes were torn, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his whole body was full of smoke as if he had been scorched, and even half of his white beard was burned out. If it weren't for the mouth still slightly open and closed, I would have thought it was a dead person.
Two forbidden nails pierced the old man's body, and the man in dark gray strange armor held the old man's collar high and shouted, "Legendary magician Adanus, here!"
There was a dead silence in the city, and Rowanna's face turned from white to blue, and even trembled slightly.
"They've been ready for a long time! It must be a squad dedicated to dealing with legends!"
"Did that idiot legend just come out of the magic tower, and I didn't even take a good look at what era it is!?"
The legendary mage who had fought against the legendary paladins of the Loyal God Court in front of the Temple of Grace was long gone, and at this time, Rowanna only felt that her neck was wrapped in an invisible rope, as if she could tighten it at any time, and her breathing became much harder.
She muttered unconsciously, "I can't stay here!"
