Chapter 223: The Last Stronghold
Hua Pei's side has not encountered an army of alien monsters for the time being, but the battle reports continue to come from the front line, allowing him to understand the things on the front line.
Judging from the information known so far, the situation is not optimistic, Hua Pei gently pounded his forehead, not knowing what he was thinking.
The other staff officers could only look at the stacks of military reports and sigh - it's not that I can't fight well, it's because the other side is hanging!
In the past, when arranging the defense of the front-line stronghold, almost all the defensive means that the staff officer could think of were used, using water, fire, magic, and cannons, but the other party could deal with them one by one, and it is estimated that in addition to not being able to fly, they have at least a hundred ways to deal with human beings.
Can't fly is probably the only thing Chu Shou wants to complain about the setting of the other world, obviously the magic is so developed, and there are already props with a sense of science fiction like magic machines, but except for the creatures with wings, they can't fly, even the body of the alien monster after distortion does not have the ability to fly, and even the Raj God is running and playing, desperate, desperate, desperate for this world where the imagination of the creator god is poor- Because flying will make the setting of many things or the logic of events full of loopholes, so a certain creator god doesn't allow those creatures to fly without permission, right?
In this way, Chu Shou also felt that he could use magic - whether it was an "air cannon" or a "rocket" - to give him the ability to fly, which could be regarded as a kind of plug-in, right?
Without further ado, everyone looked at Supreme Commander Hua Pei with heavy faces at this time, trying to see from his face what the other party had done, but the wise man's face sank like water, as if everything had reached a stalemate.
"It would be nice if Snow Feather was here. At this time, some staff officers couldn't help but put forward this hope.
"No, to be exact, it's those magical girls. Hua Pei took over the topic in the surprised eyes of a group of people.
"Colleagues, I know you're panicking right now, you're worried about your families on the front lines, and you're worried about those here and behind you. Hua Pei stood up at this time and said loudly to everyone, "But remember, this war is different from our petty fights in the past, this is a battle of life and death for mankind!"
"I know that many of you are doubting whether you have made the right choice, and some of you can no longer hold fast to your convictions as human beings. "But, believe me, we humans will still be victorious as we did a thousand years ago!"
"So we can't back down in this battle, we have to buy time for the accumulation of strength in the rear, even if we die, our reputation will live on!
Hua Pei's words had a powerful charm that people couldn't help but be convinced, and the people present were inspired by his strong conviction, and their eyes became firm, and they heard from Hua Pei's words that it was time for them to make sacrifices.
As the battle reports continued to come, the staff officers knew that the battle line was approaching step by step, and soon they would become the front line, and they could not afford to lose, and the city of Arzari could be said to be the last line of defense.
Because the war used too many resources, it was impossible to arm all the strongholds of the Aize country one by one, so the strategy of the human race in this war was to take the important strongholds in front of the front, and the largest and most defensive city of Arzari as the last fulcrum in the rear.
If Arzari City is lost, then the entire Lion Continent will be wide open, and the humans who are not fully prepared will fall into a passive disadvantageous situation. What's more, if they lose the city of Arza, they will also die. Therefore, in every way, they had only one way to go, and that was to hold the city of Arza.
As for how to defend it, the staff officers could only look for it from the thick pile of war reports, and find hope from despair.
Yes, although those battle reports are more defeats and fewer victories, but from the above, you can analyze and summarize the strategic ideas and considerations of the alien monsters, as well as the various combat methods they show, and the staff officers must come up with corresponding strategies for the purpose.
Fortunately, because of the prosperity of magic in the other world, the staff officers made many deductions for the defense of the city according to the battle reports, and they all thought of ways to restrain the enemy one by one, but ...... I don't know if it can be as ideal as deduction in actual combat.
Finally, on the night of the third day, the alien monsters appeared on the border of Arzari City.
Night combat is one of the most common tactics used by alien monsters.
Compared to humans, the eyesight of alien monsters is very little affected at night, so it can be said that the combat advantage is very obvious, and humans are more adapted to working during the day and working at night, so it is not too friendly to humans at night.
As soon as they got the news, everyone couldn't calm down, and they slept in uniform for the past few days, just to prepare for this moment.
"Let all the magicians send their own demons to conduct the most detailed reconnaissance of the surroundings!" Hua Pei personally gave the first order.
The so-called demons are lifelike or non-living "animals" that are much weaker than summoned beasts, and they can replace the eyes of the magician, allowing the magician to see the information he wants.
The small size of the demon form and the concealment of magic are indeed very suitable for this job.
This is also one of the advantages of defending the city, there are all kinds of equipment in the city to prevent the detection of demons, and it is difficult to detect these "fine works" in the field, it is very important to get first-hand information before the war, and the asymmetry of information can often determine the outcome of the war.
Soon, the mage fed back the detected information to the upper command.
"Surrounded by three people, sure enough, the other party is very familiar with people's hearts. Hua Pei smiled coldly.
This practice made several strongholds lose immediately, and when they saw the black pressure pressing the sky with alien monsters, those commanders with weak willpower found that the enemy was so obviously flawed, and actually chose to abandon the city and flee, as a result, the humans who lost the advantage of defending the city were chased by those monsters to death and wounded, and the alien monster army took the stronghold almost effortlessly.
This result made Hua Pei's commanders furious, and at the same time, they also put away the mentality of underestimating alien monsters - you know, alien monsters were out-and-out human beings in body and mind before they became monsters!
However, this tactic made Hua Pei feel a little insulted - does the other party think that he is also the kind of person who is not strong-willed?
"Get the magic cannon ready. Hua Pei once again gave the order in person, "Be patient and stay alert before the enemy enters the firing range!"
The enemy slowly approached, and when Hua Pei judged the distance, he immediately gave the order: "Shoot the light bullet." ”
Light Bullets are a persistent spell that creates orbs of light that float in the air, and although they have no offensive power, they allow humans to see their surroundings in the dark.
One by one, the light bullets floated into the air, the night was dispelled by magic, and the city of Arzar and its four fields were as bright as day, and the hideous faces of the enemy finally appeared in front of the defenders of the city of Arzari.
