Chapter 516: The beginning has always been very sudden
Because Disya bulldozed all the nearby trees, there was basically no reference to be found on the bare earth, not to mention pointing out the location of the flying units in the sky, or walking in the labyrinthine trenches with their feet down-to-earth, and everyone was almost unable to distinguish the direction; if it weren't for the World Tree where the elves lived, they could see it casually, and the friends would almost suspect that they had been taken to other places by this simple "labyrinth".
Of course, in fact, the trench is not complicated at all, it is purely crooked, and Nangong Rong and his party are moving inside it, so it feels like a labyrinth. Obviously, everyone didn't want to say anything about this, this kind of simple fortification was completely impossible to stop the abyss monsters, and its purpose was to protect the human combat units from the opponent's firepower, and they were powerless in the face of countless cannon fodder tides of charges.
The Abyss doesn't play any trench warfare with humans, and the soldiers huddle in the trenches and show their heads to shoot targets for either a few minutes - the defense line is breached, or for several hours - and the monsters never get close to the position, so they don't have the heart to slowly compare marksmanship.
Therefore, building the trenches with a twist should allow the monsters that break through the line to toss a little more for a while, unless they continue to charge directly over the trenches to the rear of the position, but if the abyss chooses not to clear the trenches carefully, then the human maneuver will naturally be much larger.
For example, having infantry and some other combat units use underground tunnels to suddenly drill out of the trenches and cut off a large group of abyssal monsters from the middle, or fill the trenches with fuel and set them on fire to form a wall of fire for barbecue, etc., etc., etc.,
In the face of most monsters with an IQ equal to about nine, these methods can basically be ignored, because they will always fill the trenches with all kinds of unbelievable postures, and will not turn over and continue to move forward until they can no longer be stuffed. But the problem is that such an important battle, the abyss will definitely send people to command these monsters, and even Stephanie herself may go out, how can the other party let the monsters toss in the trenches?
Along the way, looking at the various small traps prepared by the soldiers to [welcome] the abyss monsters, Nangong Rong suddenly felt that he deeply felt the dark side of the human race.
"Well, this is the front line so far. Disya suddenly stopped before she took everyone to a complete dizziness, pointed to an inconspicuous foxhole in the distance and said to her friends, "Because there are not enough people, you can't expand the position too much, even so, there are still many places that are made up with Nangong Rong's puppets, please don't look forward to it too much." β
The named boy didn't refute anything, he knew that his puppet would not have much ability to restrain the abyss when it was mass-produced, and he was simply fighting the opponent with the performance of the body, so unless the number reached a certain level, it would be a matter of time before the enemy was overwhelmed by the endless sea of miscellaneous soldiers.
"Ah, Sister Disya is right. Nangong Rong nodded and agreed very seriously, "Originally, the number of troops teleported to this side was not large, and they didn't carry heavy equipment, and the number of my puppets was not ideal, and the little monster of the Sitneyla people didn't even complete their bodies, if it weren't for the fact that the abyss would officially start attacking in a few days, I dare to say that our defense line is definitely no different from a paper paste based on the current level of preparation." β
Lin Weiyin didn't seem to care at all, the little girl raised her hand and patted the dirt on the edge of the trench and pouted: "It's okay, just use the time of the past few days to strengthen, there will be no problem." Besides, even if the abyss knows that we are not ready here, they will not be able to teleport the troops over, we only need to pay attention to the harassment of small forces. β
The reasonable girl was right, and Octavier, who was listening, was silent for a while, and only then did she suddenly think of a very serious question: "Then I said, it will take a few days for the Abyss's troops to arrive here and attack, where did you get this information?"
As an old fox, Micel immediately guessed what the eldest princess was making up in her head, and immediately chuckled and waved her hand again and again: "No, no, no, this information has been confirmed many times, and no one is deliberately cheating." The forces that our scouts have detected in the Abyss are indeed far from here, and they are always advancing only so fast that it will take days to reach them no matter how you calculate them. Don't worry if this is a deliberate illusion created by the Abyss, unless the enemy can teleport the troops directly without building a teleportation array beforehand. β
But this kind of thing is absolutely impossible, the teleportation array needs to send and receive two magic circles to play the effect of spatial transfer, only send the object out but there is no magic circle responsible for receiving, then this teleportation can only specify a general direction at most, and the rest is random......
If you are unlucky, it is no joke to teleport into the latrine, and if it is serious, it may even be buried in the soil or even in the rocks, resulting in death.
Even the abyss, which has always ignored the loss of cannon fodder, can't withstand such a metaphysical toss of either fighting face or desperately, not to mention the number of monsters that have successfully teleported to the vicinity of the World Tree with their faces, it is impossible to imagine how many monsters there are, even if everyone's position has not been fully arranged, it is difficult to pose any threat, it is purely to give the young man their heads.
At least, that's the case in theory. However, when everyone was relieved and ready to change the topic, the golden retriever cat suddenly "jumped" out of Nangong Rong's watch screen with a snap, and stopped everyone with a wave of his arms.
"Wait a minute, Missel, the time of the past few days was calculated by your scouts based on the normal travel speed of the abyssal monsters, right?"
"Yes. What do you want to say, is it possible that those monsters will speed up at some abnormal speed in the hope of being able to catch us off guard?" Missel couldn't help but laugh as he said this, his face full of [you are worrying], "Don't worry, they can't speed up, because there are dense forests all the way, and they are not suitable for large troops to move quickly. β
"Of course I know that you really don't have anything to say about environmental protection here, and you don't even have a decent highway, but people don't necessarily have to walk on the ground......, right?"
The words of the system are destined to be unfinished, and Angelot, who is obviously not focused on the conversation and is looking around, suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the sky in the distance and said loudly to her friends: "Look, that cloud looks so strange. β
Hearing this, Nangong Rong couldn't help but raise his head in confusion, and found that there were indeed a few white clouds hanging in the azure sky, but one of them was moving at a speed that was obviously completely different from the few clouds next to it, and was rapidly approaching in the direction of the World Tree.
The difference between two clouds with different speeds is like a speedboat and a paddle boat that a three-year-old can tell right away β if you look up at the sky.
Nangong Rong's head immediately burst out in a lot of cold sweat, and he couldn't stop it: "Hey, golden retriever, I suddenly thought of something very bad, tell me that your thoughts are different from mine." β
"I'm sorry, but I think it's rare for the two of us to go together at the same time. After taking a deep breath with her hands in her arms, the blonde Lori shouted loudly, "Enemy attackββ!! don't be stunned one by one, hurry up and get ready for battle!"
Octavir's reaction was the fastest, not only because of the martial arts and magic that the girl cultivated, but because she was always suspicious and vigilant about the [Abyss Troop will take a few days to arrive], and the system's shout was equivalent to confirming the eldest princess's guess, and she naturally reacted immediately.
By the time Lin Weiyin, who realized it later, unfolded her power armor and prepared to take off from the ground, Octavir's whole person had already reached a high altitude, and the staff in her hand had transformed into a shelling form, aiming at the rapidly approaching clouds from a distance.
It didn't look like anything on the ground, and after flying into the air, the eldest princess realized that the speed of the cloud could be described as exaggerated, and it was impossible to reach the point where ordinary clouds in nature could reach, but it was better to say that the cloud itself should have fallen apart before reaching this speed. However, the fact is that the white cloud shows no signs of falling apart at all, not even a little deformed, as if it were a viscous gelatinous mass instead of a cloud of moisture.
There's definitely something in there!Octaviel bet it wasn't any ordinary cloud, because no ordinary cloud wouldn't even react after being hit by a few large wind blades from her own, and all the spells would be like a stone sinking into the sea.
"In that case, what about this trick!?"
The eldest princess was also inspired to be competitive when she saw that the attack was ineffective, and the staff in her hand suddenly bloomed with red light, and then several wind blades that were larger and more violent than the previous spell flew out, which at first glance seemed to be a repetition just now.
However, there are still many differences, and the key is not that the girl increases the output force to enhance the wind blade that is launched, but the changes and changes she makes to the spells.
Each of the wind blades was covered in brilliant flames, the result of Octavir's mixing of her own magic with the other magical elements that the staff had concentrated. To put it simply, this thing is a mixture of wind and fire spells, and ordinary people can't and can't do it.
Naturally, the Razfeld plane has records and even research on hybrid spells, but they are basically theoretical, and some can be barely made through various alchemy tools and machinery, but if it is necessary to ask a magician or more accurately a person to reconcile magic and elements to complete a hybrid spell, Octavir is the first to succeed in recorded history.
It's a pity that Nangong Rong and Lin Weiyin, who don't understand magic at all, don't understand the meaning at all, they only think that this fire blade technique looks very powerful, but on the contrary, Misell, Angellot and other elves are so shocked that they are about to find their jaws on the ground, but their embarrassment is not noticed by the young man.
Because the eldest princess's fire blade technique had already crashed headlong into the clouds, this time it finally produced a huge reaction, and the flame clouds that were scattered in all directions finally shattered into many pieces, and what was hidden inside was ......
"it!?"
Rao is an elite education since he was a child, and Octavier, who always pays attention to his own etiquette when he goes out, can't help but burst into foul language on the spot after seeing the scene inside the clouds clearly, and his angry appearance is almost tied to a nuclear bomb on the staff and thrown it directly.
The clouds were so large that they almost obscured half of the sky from the ground. However, the eldest princess's fire blade technique combines the respective advantages of the wind blade and the fireball, which has a strong cutting ability and can burn objects with high temperatures, but after the fire blade technique broke out, the clouds still couldn't withstand no matter how big they were, and they were blown apart on the spot - but what exploded was only the clouds that were used for concealment on the surface, and the real body hidden inside was probably the degree of shaking a few times.
A fleet of several huge flying warships, Octavir's spell smashed into the combined shield of the opponent's fleet arranged in battle formation, leaving not even a trace.
Yes, it is difficult for the army of the Abyss to advance quickly in the dense forest, and it is impossible to reach the World Tree in a short time, and the enemy's minion race has also been greatly damaged in the previous counterattack of Duga and others, and is not capable of fighting alone. But if they work together, that's a different story.
When the opponent is not fully prepared for defense, seizing the opportunity to strike in time to catch one off guard is the basic tactic. The Abyss didn't even need to win anything, as long as it could interfere with the progress of the coalition forces in arranging defenses and preparing for a decisive battle, their blitzkrieg would be a success.
Who said that Blitzkrieg is done by relying on heavy units on the ground and rapid assault units in the air, and they are all scum in front of a fleet of flying battleships!
"It's such a hard shield, shouldn't the other party completely give up the attack and use all the energy for defense, right?" Octavir couldn't help but look at the fleet for a while after the fire blade technique also failed, after all, the range of personal spells is obviously much shorter than that of naval guns, and it is very telling that the girl has not been hit by any fire until now, "Uh, is it possible, are they planning to just hit our unformed firepower net directly into the World Tree?"
And the tightly lined fleet has been getting closer and closer during the time that the eldest princess is in pain.
