Chapter 43 There is no need for a reason to go to war

July 22, 1773. In the fifth month and nine days after I entered the game, the melee ushered in its first war - the national war of the Eastern Empire of the Earth Alliance VS the Western Empire, this war, the number of participants in the attack was about seven million, the West was attacking, the East was defending, and our participants were significantly fewer than the other side.

Early in the morning, when the sky was bright, the preparers who had not slept almost all night had gathered in the largest square in the city, and the whole city was full of people, and the streets could not stand to run to the shops, and the shops could not stand on the roof, and the roofs could not stand on the walls, anyway, all the places that could stand people were equipped with three or four times the creatures in the saturated state, and fortunately, the main city was big enough, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many players.

Rotten cabbage head and * night moment, as well as Xingtian and several other generals with more than 100 ranks, stood majestically on the top of the high flagpole in the center of the square, doing the final mobilization before the battle, in fact, looking at the excited faces of the players, they didn't need any cheering to show their combat power to the maximum extent.

After nearly an hour of shouting, it was already dawn. As soon as the commander gave the order, nearly three million players scattered in a hurry to find the temporary captain and vice-captain to which they were assigned.

According to the decision of *xiao, most of the soldiers and players are grouped in a squad of every 10 people, a squadron for every 100 people, a brigade for every 1000 people, and a legion for every 10,000 people, of which the melee department accounts for 50%, including warriors, swordsmen, swordsmen, knights without mounts, etc., and the spell department accounts for 30%, including various departments of mages, warlocks, spellmasters, and auxiliary departments account for 10%, most of this category is priests with blood and blue, and special departments account for 10%, which is relatively wide, including assassins, hunters, Summoners, animal trainers, and more, to name a few.

In addition to the regular army, there will be a single detachment of special professions such as assassins and hunters that are not included in it, doing some special tasks, and some hidden professions or races, which are relatively mobile and not suitable for unified division, and I, unfortunately, belong to this part.

The official start time of the national war is 10 o'clock in the morning, and the maximum time limit of the system is four hours. After four hours, if you don't see the flag of the Western Empire from the commanding heights of the mansion, the defenders win.

In other words, we must defend the city for four hours, because once the city is broken, no one knows whether there will be special professionals who can directly plant the flag on the commanding heights, and no one dares to take this risk.

I don't know out of mentality, Caitou and *Yoi actually agreed to drive me up to the city wall and stand beside the boss, overlooking the entire plain outside the city, the most edge of the plain is a circle of dense woods, although the depth is only more than 1,000 meters, but it stretches for several kilometers along the coast, through the woods is the golden sand and the long ocean, that is, from the landing to the siege, the enemy will have to pass through three parts of the trap area - the beach, the woods and the plain.

Barring no accidents, these traps will cost the other side at least one-fifth of their people, otherwise it will be difficult for us to win this battle.

Quietly looking at the plain, which is still very peaceful at the moment, Caitou's face is very solemn, "Far away, are you afraid?" ”

"Huh? Unafraid. He shook his head slightly. I followed his gaze, "Look at it now, it's beautiful." ”

"Yes, soon, it will be baptized in blood." Caitou sighed silently, and then quickly turned his head and smiled brightly, "We will definitely win this battle." ”

"Hmm." Nodding his head vigorously, feeling the belief and persistence in his heart, I also had a feeling of blood boiling.

Baili Mo looked at me with a blank face, his eyes were shining at the moment, and he hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Time passed quietly, and the soldiers in each team were basically in place, because they didn't participate in the strategy meeting, so I didn't know exactly what the tactics that *Yoi and Natou finally worked out, so I had to wait quietly.

At ten o'clock, the National War Eastern Empire channel sent a message from the assassin team: the enemy's traces were found a hundred nautical miles above the sea.

"You deserve it, when the enemy comes into range, you will open fire with all your might." Caitou gave the first order, and got a response that he deserved to be killed, and then he looked sideways at me beside him and nodded slightly, "Let's start!" ”

Taking a deep breath, I climbed Bailimo's neck and was held in his arms, and he stepped on the battlements of the city wall and kicked slightly, and flew out lightly, aiming at the beach in the distance.

As a demon lord, although he has no wings, Baili Mo flies very smoothly, and his speed is not slow. In an instant, I was over the beach, high in the clouds, and I didn't have to worry about being spotted for a while, but even though I had been prepared for a long time, I couldn't help but gasp when I actually saw the army on the sea.

I saw the endless depths of the vast sea, in the place where it meets the sky, the shadow of several large ships gradually appeared, the bow of the ship was made into the shape of a goddess who was about to fly, the body of the goddess was connected to the hull, visual estimates, the lead ship was about sixty meters long, twenty meters wide, very huge, the main ships along the line behind it were thirty to forty meters long, ten meters wide warships, as the distance narrowed, more and more warships entered the line of sight, dense and almost filled with the sea, at a glance can not see the end, left and right can not see the edge, As far as the eye could see, there were battleships waiting for battle, and countless small boats shuttled back and forth between them. It is estimated that they are also assassins who spy on intelligence.

Looking at this posture, it is more than the momentum of Cao Cao's 400,000 troops going south, and it seems that the Western Empire is also going all out, and they are also bound to win this battle.

Swallowing my saliva weakly, I hugged Baili's neck tightly, and my scalp was numb with fear from the dense ant-like enemies under my feet.

Boom ——!

The war began with the firing of our first magic cannonball, and the ball of flame the size of a football flew out and smashed into the first large ship at the head of the line, although it was on the water, the power of the flames was still not to be underestimated, especially the targets were ships made of wood. It's a pity that the defenders don't assign sea tools, otherwise, they can start a war on the sea farther away.

Under attack, the main ship only jolted slightly, and then there was an even more frantic counterattack, and huge magic cannonballs flew across the sea and smashed on the seemingly bare beach, splashing patches of fire and ice.

The First Legion was ambushed in the depths of the woods, and there was no human figure visible from the sea, although the opponent's flames caused a lot of damage to the forest, but they were quickly extinguished by the water mage, and the true purpose of attracting the opponent's attention had been achieved.

With hundreds or thousands of shells firing back and forth at the same time, the war reached a climax on the surface, no one at sea or in the woods let anyone, but just when everyone was in full swing and the battle fleet was still fifty nautical miles away from the landing site, small whirlpools suddenly appeared on the rough sea, and the warriors, who were accustomed to the turbulence of the hull, did not pay too much attention to these, because, in the previous spying process, they had determined that there was no ambush on the bottom of the sea.

However, they forget that in the game, ambushes don't necessarily need to be prepared in advance.

The small whirlpool slowly grew larger, extending from tens of centimeters to several meters, many small boats had been swallowed up and drifted, and the large battleships were also turbulent under the simultaneous action of several whirlpools, although only the first few rows of hundreds of vehicles were threatened, but it was enough to temporarily suppress the opponent's firepower, and there was a deafening cheer of excitement from the woods, followed by an even more fierce attack.

A special team composed of animal trainers and summoners is constantly making trouble in the water, not to destroy the other party, but to interfere with the opponent's line of sight, so that they can reduce the output of cannonballs under the unbalanced, and by the way, pull down N more assassins who spy on intelligence, this little trick is not even the art of war at all, after the initial chaos. The enemy quickly stabilized, and the Beast Trainer and Summoner stepped up at the same time, lashing out at the enemy in the sea, and the fire was leveled again.

But just when it seemed that I could breathe a sigh of relief, the whirlpools in the sea all disappeared in an instant, and all our babies were recalled, and the next moment, the monstrous tornado rose from the ground, and all the creatures in the water were swept up to the sky, although the battleship was heavy and large and only a little shaky, but the water summoning beasts and beast tamers in the water and some summoners and beast tamers were all reimbursed, but it was a pity that the combat power of the other party's system was reimbursed.

Caitou's arrogant laughter sounded on the channel, accompanied by the cheers of everyone, but the cheers did not last long but were extinguished by the changes on the field, not knowing that the other party was a professional's ability, the whole sky suddenly darkened, the blue sky and white clouds turned into dark clouds, rolling thunder, regardless of the cost of splitting the sky and the earth towards the woods, almost covering the coastline that stretched for several kilometers, and the screams were endless for a while.

Shrinking my neck, I let Baili fly a little lower, dodging the thunder and lightning the size of a baby's arm, while hurriedly casting skills to revive some players who died less than ten seconds later.

When the head was hit by lightning and he fell to death, he only felt a flash of white light in front of him, and a system prompt of death immediately sounded in his ears, he smiled bitterly, thinking that his first journey to the national war was over, but he didn't expect that this silence had not yet been issued, and suddenly there was a flash of white light, he regained that down-to-earth feeling, held a strong palm, and a soft prompt sound sounded in his ears - [Comrades-in-arms from afar cast the skill 'Reincarnation of Life and Death' to you, and immediately resurrect it! ] 】

Stunned to open his mouth wide, he should have been a little unable to react for a while, and when he turned his head, the players around him were also dumbfounded, and even more so, he was struck by lightning in a second and lay on the ground with a flash of white light, and then the white light flashed and stood up again, as if it was a gift from God, and experienced the fun of the cycle of life and death several times (==!) ）。

Knowing that they did not have to worry about dying in battle, the soldiers became more and more courageous and shouted for joy to attack again.

I sweated profusely and kept casting skills, and when my mana was at its bottom, I drank a bottle of blue to keep the death toll to a minimum.

But I'm just a person after all, although there is no distance limit and cooldown time, but there are requirements for spelling, it is inevitable to take care of one or the other, after ten seconds, the body of the deceased will disappear and lose the chance to resurrect, in order to try to resurrect my comrades, I am so busy that I don't even have time to breathe.

It took nearly an hour for the Western battleship to finally land successfully, and it should be ordered to retreat, after all, it has reached the range of the mage's attack, but the mage of a legion is definitely not as many as the entire fleet, so the retreat is the most appropriate.

The Western commander was very careful this time, first sent a team of dozens of people to land, but before they could take ten steps, they were blown up by the magic array on the beach, and then a team came up, and the result was the same, but the place where they walked was only a few steps away, and so on, the enemy no longer sent people.

After ten seconds of silence, rows of water bombs hit the beach, triggering the trap and soaking the sand at the same time, the most important thing on the sea is water, when the entire beach becomes a puddle, the ice mage will freeze all the places as far as the eye can see into ice, and there are some uneven traces on the ice, it is estimated that it is to facilitate walking, sure enough, when the ice is formed, the soldiers on the battleship hula ran down, without touching any traps and rushed to the dense woods, and at the same time there were wood mages and fire mages to open the way.

Frowning slightly, I looked at the calm Baili with some concern, "It's too bad now, I'm afraid that one-fifth of the battle gains will be greatly reduced." ”

Bailimo didn't say anything, just hugged me and retreated.
