Chapter 476: Absorbing the Origin, a New Development in the Kingdom's War Situation
By the time Big Eye absorbed Su Long's remnant soul, Levi's state was actually very bad.
was already at a point close to overdraft, and the use of these two kaleidoscope writing wheel eye pupil techniques made his spiritual power squeezed to the limit again. He now felt that he couldn't open his eyes at all, and the power of the writing wheel eye had long since faded uncontrollably, and even his body couldn't keep its balance in the water.
The consciousness that he could barely maintain, he clearly sensed that his spiritual sea must have been damaged by uncontrolled overdraft. He believes that as long as he closes his eyes, he will be able to fall asleep immediately, and if he does not sleep for a few days and nights, he is afraid that he will not be able to slow down.
The ability to 'heal and regenerate' can allow him to recover quickly from physical injuries, but it is powerless against mental damage.
The wide-eyed voice came at the right time: "Sleep, this wisp of Su Long's remnant soul is finished, you don't have to worry anymore, there are also your companions next to you, who will bring you back to the ground." ”
Although Levi was so weak and wide-eyed that his advice to go to sleep and rest was in line with his expectations, he did not forget that he still had an important thing to do.
"I'll go to sleep right away, but you'll have to wait a little longer......"
A moment later—maybe only a second or two—Big Eyes suddenly yelled, "You miser! Lao Tzu has worked so hard to help you do so many things, and you don't even leave me with a soup to drink? I've never seen a human being more greedy than you in my life! Shameless! Don't sleep, wake up and give me back! Did you hear me? ”
The loud voice of the big eyes in his head, he didn't hear at all, and he had fallen into a deep sleep after he had done the last thing.
And the reason why the big eyes are thunderous is of course because the evil god origin in Su Long's remnant soul that he absorbed was banned by Li Weiquan.
Originally, Big Eyes wanted to first fool Levi, who was fast to the limit, into falling asleep, and then he would have enough time to enjoy these absorbed evil god origins. Who knows, this goblin and goblin human being, when he was on the verge of a mental breakdown, still remembered this thing, and directly banned it, so that it couldn't move the origin of the evil god.
That's not about Ferry's strength, it's just a matter of thought. After all, strictly speaking, even the big eyes themselves are now a part of Levi's spiritual power, but he has a little sense of autonomy.
……
On the third day of the eighth month of the pioneering calendar, it has been a month since the decisive battle in Limestone Town began.
Fellbrazer used a crack night raid tactic in Limestone Town, which dealt a very serious blow to a division of the Northern Army Group organized by the Norsman government. At the same time, before the enemy could retaliate, he led his troops out of Limestone, ending a month or two of fighting between the two sides in the Limestone area.
Once the battle line was opened, Fairblazer's Maplelimburg Legion began a tactic of trading space for time. Try to engage in frontal and large-scale team battles with the opposing side as much as possible, and use more dispersed troops to attack the flanks, bypass the rear for sneak attacks, harass supply lines, and so on.
With such delaying tactics, Ferblazer has indeed bought himself many, many hours.
Two of the original three divisions of the Northern Frontier Group Army were crippled, so the establishment of one division was simply abolished, and the soldiers were added to the other two divisions, and the third and 32nd divisions suddenly regained their strongest combat effectiveness. At the same time, the seven reorganization divisions from Westdom were all replenished.
In this way, in the hands of the commander-in-chief of the Northern Frontier Army, General Derek, the 'Winter Knight', he already has nine divisions, with a total of more than 100,000 troops. At the same time, the top of the garrison army also sent a lieutenant general, 'Extermination Knife' Zhang Jin, to assist Derek.
The two elemental masters in the army, with an army of 100,000, this is not at all something that the Maplelinburg Legion in Fairblazer's hands can compete with.
He could only adopt a scorched earth strategy, trying to make the northern army unable to find any field supplies in the north, and could only rely on logistics and transportation. At the same time, time is delayed through harassment, guerrilla tactics.
Luckily, there's a lot of space in the north. If you want to talk about the scope of the land, I am afraid that the land in the other three directions of the kingdom combined, I am afraid that it is only half the size of the north. However, some places in the north and south of the kingdom are still relatively densely populated. The further north you go, the more people wither. Low temperatures and extreme cold, in this era, were an important factor restricting productivity, and it was difficult for people to survive too far north of the northern border.
Thus, with some success, Ferblazer's tactics were supported by a number of northern groups.
First of all, in terms of troops, he received a valuable heavy firepower armored division. This armored division was invested and built by two large enterprises, Yipintang and Blackbird Heavy Industries, together with some small and medium-sized enterprises.
That kind of armor, which is two meters tall and has a full exoskeleton, will give the soldier who enters it a strong strength bonus.
It's just that this exoskeleton armor has the minimum requirements for the user - the limit level level. Below this level, you can't even wear this armor.
In this division they provided, there were nearly a thousand hoplites. The other accompanying soldiers are also very well-equipped with weapons and equipment.
The group chaebol can't provide too many troops, after all, compared to the huge land in the north, the population is a big flaw, and this is a problem that money can't solve. Moreover, the recruitment of soldiers also takes time, and the training takes even more time.
However, they have money, and they have equipment.
In addition to providing an armored division, they also provided a considerable amount of sophisticated weaponry to the Fort Maplelim Corps.
It was also by virtue of these weapons and equipment, as well as the timely rain of armored divisions, that the number of troops in Ferbraze's hands exceeded 30,000, and in the case of guerrilla tactics, he played a relatively good exchange ratio.
According to his thinking, he could destroy the enemy's living force of 40,000 to 60,000 at the cost of sacrificing half of the land in the north and at the cost of 10,000 casualties.
That's the limit of what he can do. When there are two strong elements, he himself doesn't even dare to move too easily, and as long as the whereabouts of which army are exposed and encounters the other party's elements, it is basically the end of the group's annihilation.
However, he had no other better way but to fight like this.
If things really go as he expected, then he can use 20,000 troops to fight the enemy's army of about 50,000 in several large-scale confrontations, and at that time, with the advantage of weapons and equipment, he feels that he can have a chance of winning about forty percent.
This is all based on the assumption that neither side will increase their troops, and if there are reinforcements...... Then there is no way to say that.
And even so, the 40% win rate is too low. If you win, it's definitely just a miserable victory, and if you lose, you'll never recover.
He sent letters for help one after another to Jinyang Pass. But on the Jinyang Pass side, it is true that there are no troops to provide him with support.
The Nordman government's East Mirror Army is also ready to go. Fifteen reorganized divisions, ten of them, are veterans of the garrison army, not the kind of newly organized garbage troops.
The large army of nearly 200,000 people thought that the east was approaching. According to the latest intelligence, the Eastern Territory Army will enter the Eastern Territory in less than two weeks, and a war between the two sides is inevitable.
The most elite Blazing Phoenix Legion, the reorganized Jinyang Legion, and the First, Second, and Third Legions in the East, totaling 150,000 soldiers, were hoarded in the East to confront the enemy.
Under such circumstances, only 30,000 men of the Fourth Army were left on the Jinyang Pass. However, these 30,000 people are already the last general reserve of Jinyang Pass. Relatively speaking, in Westdum, the Norsman government still has at least 150,000 troops, which can be replenished at any time by going north and east.
At the same time, it was also mentioned in the intelligence that the Norman government's conscription program was still continuing. The crazy Prime Minister seems to have a kind of 'if it doesn't work, I'll let all the men of the right age go to war in Westdum'.
However, in the eastern and northern realms of the kingdom, the war potential has been almost tapped. The existing troops are their strongest strength. If the existing six legions and the Blazing Phoenix Legion are all gone, Duke Jiang will no longer have cards to play in his hand. He didn't even have the ability to pull up a force again.
The situation has reached a certain point of gravity.
Ferblazer didn't know about these things, he sent a distress letter to Jinyang Pass, in fact, he didn't expect Duke Jiang to really send troops to help him. It's just a gesture that shows that it's very difficult to fight here.
According to his thinking, he didn't expect to win the war in the north. He could only hope that he could hold on for a longer period of time, and that he could hold back more of the enemy's forces so that he could create opportunities for the East.
At that time, the main battlefield in the east has been won, and after the living forces of the Norsman government have been eliminated, it will naturally have the strength to support the north.
And if he had failed before that...... Then there's not much to say.
The enemy is strong, and it is not a crime of war.
There was a letter, though, that changed his mind to a great extent.
Strictly speaking, it was two letters that were sent to him together.
One was from Jinyang Pass, and the person who sent the letter was Duke Jiang. In the letter, Duke Chiang mentions that he can harness the power of the witcher.
The other letter came from a local place called 'Mani'. Mani's local Witcher Guild has more than a hundred Witchers. Their president said that as long as the money was in place, their Mani guild could take on the war business.
This news made him overjoyed!
The more than 100 Demon Hunters of the Mani Guild alone certainly couldn't have much impact on the battle situation in the North. However, this can be seen as a signal.
On both sides of the war, whether it's him or Derek on the other side, who doesn't want to borrow the power of the witcher? It's just that all the Demon Hunter Guilds in the North have made it clear before that they will not intervene in the kingdom's civil war.
As long as people with a little higher political wisdom can realize that this is not a matter of two guilds, but the opinion of the General Guild of Demon Hunters.
And now this letter, in Ferbrazer's opinion, may be the attitude of the General Guild has been loosened.
A hundred witchers doesn't have much impact on the battle, but a thousand, ten thousand, it's impossible to say.
In the vast lands of the North, there are at least five thousand witchers. These demon hunters belong to more than 60 guilds, large and small.
Although the number of witchers is not large, the average quality is much higher than that of the army. In particular, in this high-intensity war, quite a few troops on both sides have been newly reorganized in the past one or two years, and their individual quality is worrying, and even the officers are uneven.
And there are many demon hunters, extreme levels, and even people who have opened the genetic lock.
What's more, they are experts in small-scale combat, and as long as they are used well, the role of these witchers can even top an entire legion!
In particular, in the North, there are four elemental hunters with a reputation for fame. If they all show their attitude, join the war, and stand on their side, then I am afraid that it will be the Northern Army Group that is bound by their hands. The two guys, Derek and Zhang Jin, who were arrogant during this time, were afraid that they would not dare to continue to move at will, otherwise they would be besieged by double-level masters and their lives would have to be lost.
In high spirits, Ferbrazer quickly gathered his staff and staff, and he wanted to make some new plans to make good use of the power of the demon hunters.
……
When the war in the north and even in the kingdom took a new turn, Levi had just woken up.
When he opened his eyes, he realized that he should be in the frost new outpost now.
After a little thought, he could guess what had happened after he had passed out.
After Su Long's remnant soul was resolved, there was no threat in the temple at the bottom of the lake. Subsequently, he should have been taken away from the bottom of the lake by Li Zhoucheng and the three of them, and returned to the frost new outpost.
However, the only question now is, how long has it been since the day of the battle?
As soon as this thought arose, he heard a loud-eyed voice: "It's been two days, and your recovery speed is much faster than expected." ”
"Two days...... That's fine. Levi began to communicate with Big Eyes in his mind: "Then, let's take a good inventory of the harvest." ”
Big Eye's interest was not high, and it said in a low voice: "Let's discuss, can you give me my share first?" I've been tortured to death for the past few days, don't you know, this state of weakness is worse than death for a powerful god like me! ”
