Chapter 454: Set up
Octavier's idea of capturing the thief and capturing the king first Nangong Rong actually felt that it was not feasible, because it was the abyss that really controlled the aristocratic alliance now, not the nobles who had rebelled and surrendered. Not to mention whether the careerists will gather here, even if they are all here and captured by the elite troops under the command of the eldest princess, the soldiers who were originally loyal to them will probably not put down their weapons because of this.
Abyss will take the initiative to take over the control of the coalition forces at that time, turn them into puppets by activating the gadgets buried in the soldiers' bodies earlier, and then continue to launch a crazy attack on Nangong Rong and others regardless of the life or death of the lords and nobles - if it were another situation, Abyss might still consider the safety of the hostages, but since there is Nangong Rong on the other side, it is basically not negotiable.
Team battles can be lost, and teenagers must die.
"I think that's a bit of a hangover, it's not a safe thing to do. ”
Imagining the terrible scene of following Octavir into the enemy formation, grabbing those noble bosses, and the eldest princess was forcing them to let their troops lose their weapons and surrender, but the enemy soldiers turned into monsters one after another, and surrounded them like a tide from all directions, Nangong Rong couldn't help but shudder, and then decisively raised objections to the beautiful girl in front of him.
Who thought that Octavier nodded very simply at this: "I know, but this is also a helpless thing, the frontal attack is estimated that we can't beat the other party, so we can only make this strategy." If you can control those souls, you have a chance to completely disintegrate the enemy's forces, so I think it's worth the risk. ”
"Wait a while, since they have taken refuge in the abyss, then the troops under their command should also be infected. Now it is the abyss that controls the troops, and the other side will not let us control the situation so easily, if the abyss turns the infected soldiers into monsters and attacks when those captured nobles agree to surrender, what are you going to do then?"
Octavir didn't seem to care much about this, casually waved his hand and chuckled: "No, no, no, no matter how you say it, those guys also have the courage and strength to divide one side, and they will definitely not fully believe in the abyss but will choose to keep one hand on guard against the other party, for example, their personal guards are likely to deliberately not accept the infection of the abyss......"
Nangong Rong couldn't help but feel angry and funny when he heard this: "To be reasonable, those guys are very likely to be willing to accept the body transformation of the abyss to increase their lifespan, what other door can keep it? Even their own bodies take the initiative to toss the abyss, what is the use of this thing of the guards?" Please abandon the previous way of thinking about the intrigue of murdering brain cells, the approach of the wall grass will not work against the Abyss, they have many ways to completely control the refuge, don't expect those aristocratic bosses to rebel decisively from the Abyss camp when faced with guns. ”
The eldest princess only woke up from a dream at this time, thinking that several of those nobles were old foxes whose bodies were gradually declining, and they were likely to agree to try the body transformation of the abyss - of course, the result must be good, the abyss has always done a very good job in this regard - after seeing that several old foxes have regained their youth, others will naturally be moved by this, and then wholeheartedly join the abyss camp.
Indeed, as Nangong Rong said, most of the backhands will not exist, and this plan to capture the thief and capture the king first has failed from the beginning. Even the so-called capture of the king may turn into a troublesome boss fight, after all, after receiving the body modification of the abyss, it is not entirely impossible that those who are afraid of death will prepare some surprises for the assassins who come to try to assassinate them, such as transforming into ugly monsters or something.
It's already a standard skill for villains in various works.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't think about it. Octavir raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead and apologized to the boy, "So what do you have a better proposal?"
At this moment, you can already see the goal of the crowd at the end of the horizon, it is an ancient and huge city built on a wide plain, and a small object of other colors different from the color of the building can be faintly seen around it, and it looks like a drop of soy sauce has accidentally dripped from a dish.
It was a coalition force that had been assembled, and it was obvious that the enemy had already known about the arrival of Nangong Rong and the others, so that the troops had set up a posture outside the city to prepare to meet them.
"As I said before, use air strikes to give them faces, reduce the number of opponents as much as possible, and then send out ground troops. "Nangong Rong is indeed good at killing enemies with numbers, but this does not mean that the young man has no idea about being able to ride a thousand super mechs, "Although this city is a paper tiger, as long as I am willing to become a real tiger at any time, okay, it is really underestimated." ”
The eldest princess's adventurous plan to capture the thief and capture the king first is actually to minimize Nangong Rong's energy consumption so that the young man can use a better state to meet the abyss, but if the strategic goal of stabilizing the rear cannot be completed because of this, it is obviously a bit more than worth the loss. So Octavier chose to remain silent after opening her mouth a few times to open her mouth but not saying anything.
Even if Nangong Rong ran out of strength here, it was still much better than if the empire was flanked by the front and back when the abyss launched a formal operation.
The battle began when the enemy and us were separated by a long distance, and Nangong Rong, who had done what he said, stood on the fountain square and injected most of the energy in his body into the city, rejuvenating the city that had many functions that had been closed due to lack of energy, and looked no different from the abandoned ruins. Of course, it was impossible for the boy to make such a move as to greet the enemy with a map cannon, and he didn't have much energy left, and the city was not equipped with such an out-of-specification weapon, so it was a large group of carrier-based aircraft that carried out the operation.
It is not an easy task to drive an army of this size, Nangong Rong has invested almost all the energy in these flying machines, plus the consumption of maintaining the city, it really makes the boy feel like he has returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.
But it's worth it, without the support of the air force, the aristocratic coalition is just a big dish on the table, and there is basically little resistance to the indiscriminate bombardment of a large number of aircraft, and it is a completely one-sided battle.
Imitation of some kind of anti-gravity frisbee made of flying machines swooped down from the air, pouring a large number of beams of light onto the ground, causing countless flames and deaths, because they were too far away Nangong Rong They couldn't even see what the enemy's destroyed equipment was, and ordinary soldiers were not even small black dots, and the sound of the same battle was also very vague, and they always felt that it was a little unreal.
However, as the city approached rapidly, the sound gradually became clearer, and things that were originally unclear could be seen clearly, which made people realize that it was a real battlefield, not a 3D movie with five cents special effects.
The air raids had taken a heavy toll on the coalition forces deployed outside the city, which had been completely reduced to a sea of fire, with burning metal tattered and shapeless charred black mosaics everywhere, and many soldiers in the flames. However, instead of running away, they continued to fight, and every now and then a flying machine would be shot down by anti-aircraft cannons or even magic, and disappear without a trace in the flames of their own making.
This is a scene that Octavir does not want to see and tries to avoid, but the girl also knows that most of the soldiers below have been infected by the Abyss, and as long as the Abyss is willing to turn them into terrible monsters at any time, she has long since cut off the idea of minimizing the casualties of the troops and integrating the rest of the people to fight against the Abyss.
Therefore, the eldest princess didn't say anything about the fierce bombardment in front of her, she just watched indifferently as the coalition forces outside the city gradually disappeared in the air raid, and finally fell completely silent.
The city soon came to the place where the battle had taken place, and by this time there was nothing left on the ground but fire, but the two cities in the sky and on the ground formed some interesting contrast with each other. Unfortunately, the two are not real objects or mirror images, and the two sides are not identical, so the city on the ground is much quieter than the city in the sky where the aircraft are being retracted, as if it is completely dead.
It is estimated that the citizens were frightened and hid at home and did not dare to show their heads. Maybe the enemy is purely betting that Octavir will not watch innocent civilians die in the air raids, if Nangong Rong and they are not ready to destroy the city with air raids, they can play street fighting?
"The enemy is waiting for our ground troops to go down and fight in the streets. Nangong Rong could naturally easily see the other party's plan, and turned his head to the eldest princess next to him and proposed, "I want to demolish the city below, what do you say?"
Unlike the bloody decisiveness shown when dealing with the nobles who blatantly opposed them, Octavir was still very friendly to the ordinary commoners of the empire, and could be called completely loving the people - of course, only the regular commoners, except for those who were conquered and enslaved - the enemy knew very well what the eldest princess had been trying to maintain in the outside world, and as old rivals, they did pose a problem for the girl here.
Unfortunately, they failed to take into account that Octavir's partner was a young man who at first glance seemed harmless but was very vicious when he was about to do it, and he almost calmly made a suggestion to the eldest princess that would decide the life and death of many people.
"Is there no other way?" Oktawil was obviously hesitant to demolish the whole city or something, so he didn't directly agree, "such as forcing the enemy to take the initiative or luring them to escape from the city?"
"I wouldn't have moved the place easily, and it's a shame not to take advantage of such good terrain. Nangong Rong shook his head lightly and denied, "And don't you think that the other party's behavior of deliberately deploying a force outside the city without air defense shelter to meet us is a little suspicious, normal people would not do this, it is no different from sending them to death, but if it is the abyss that is directing the battle behind the back, it is not strange at all." ”
As he spoke, the boy remembered images of enemy soldiers resisting even though their clothes and even their hair were on fire in the flames, and he didn't believe that anyone could be so brave as to fight so hard, so it was likely that the soldiers were already under the control of the abyss.
And it is clear that it is not cannon fodder sent to test the combat power of the city, after all, the combat power of the city is no longer needed to be confirmed after all the fighters gathered by the aristocratic coalition are destroyed, so what is the abyss sending them out to die?
Hearing this, Octavir also began to worry about whether there would be a trap set by the abyss below, and after a little weighing, the eldest princess decisively agreed to the young man's proposal: "Okay, then you can do it, I can't let the precious elite troops suffer losses because of traps and street battles before the decisive battle with the abyss." ”
After silently sighing in his heart, "It's worthy of the eldest princess", Nangong Rong commanded the flying machine hovering in the sky to start diving towards the ground again. Although there are no live weapons, the number of frisbees is placed here after all, and after really taking turns to dive and shoot a few times, it is definitely the rhythm of the whole city's fire.
The boy didn't believe that the guys below could continue to hold their breath, they were the ones who did not hesitate to sell everything they had in order to increase their lifespan, and the most feared thing was death, and the brave people would be shocked by the air raids of this scale, let alone cowards like them?
Just as the other party was betting that Octavier would not order the aircraft to wash the floor so as not to accidentally injure civilians, Nangong Rong was also betting that these guys would order the troops to act first in order not to threaten themselves before the frisbee attack, so that they would have a chance to meet the eldest princess's requirement to avoid civilian casualties as much as possible.
As for what kind of problems will arise when those puppets that have been defeated by the enemy fall into the city...... Let's talk about it then, anyway, it's definitely better than washing the floor directly with an energy beam.
Unsurprisingly, however, it was not the silent city that reacted first, but the burning earth outside the city. A huge figure rushed out of the flames without warning, it had a humanoid body, but a pair of wings stretched out from its back, the whole body was shrouded in bright red flames, and the eyes, nostrils, and mouth were sunken, which looked very strange.
It was very reminiscent of an existence like hellfire, but Ya seemed to have no substance, at least Nangong Rong had never seen the burning stones or metal that made up the monster's body, as if the thing that made it up was just flames.
After the sudden appearance of the flame monster, it immediately opened its mouth wide and exhaled as if it was unfolding a diamond-shaped magic array near its head, and every line on the surface shook bright flames, which looked beautiful and mysterious, and I didn't know that I thought it was performing art or magic.
