Chapter 812: The First Battle
The first day of the war.
The weather near Yanjing can be called a beautiful day. Except that the temperature has begun to cool down slightly, everything else is perfect for a large-scale war.
This is undoubtedly good news for the attacking side of the Fallen Star Sect.
A big war involving tens of thousands of people or even higher, it is unrealistic to fight a decisive battle as soon as it comes up. Even if there was enough confidence in the Fallen Star Sect, they did not rush and chose to test it first.
Driven by their personnel, thousands of demonic beasts, losing their minds, savagely broke into the first outer line of defense and trap area from the east side of the Yanjing base.
This outer line of defense has a ten-meter-deep trench, and the excavated earth is piled up on the inside of the trench to form an inclined plane. For some monsters that are bulky and not good at jumping, effective restraint can be formed. Even those who are agile will inevitably suffer from the speed of the collision.
This way, the small number of ranged professionals scattered behind the slopes of the trench can take advantage of the opportunity to launch an onslaught on them.
In addition to the trenches, there are also a large number of magic traps scattered on the flat ground in front and behind. Although the power of a single individual is ordinary, it is far from enough to threaten high-level demonic beasts. But with more of them, the damage and chaos caused is considerable.
The earth trembled slightly.
As the first batch of demonic beasts broke into the trap area, a series of explosions rang out. The pain and fright violently stimulated these manipulated, irrational monsters.
Some demonic beasts rushed forward regardless of acceleration under the bloody stimulus. There are also a small number of demonic beasts that completely lose their minds and directly pounce on other demonic beasts nearby, killing each other.
Seeing that there was an opportunity, the long-range professionals who were assigned to this line of defense by lot, under the command of the team leader, invariably launched an attack.
For a while, the effect turned out to be quite good.
The Yanjing base mobilized countless manpower and resources to repair the defense line, and finally played a good role. If there were only these demonic beasts, then the power of the first outer line of defense alone would probably be able to stop them!
This made several Fallen Star Sect priests who were watching the battle in the rear quite dissatisfied.
The number of demonic beasts driven by them is too small after all. Scattered to the huge defense line of the Yanjing base, it cannot form a scale effect at all. Moreover, after observing on the spot, they had to admit that these ant-like humans used their numerical superiority to build a defensive line that was indeed a bit tricky.
"Don't worry, after all, this is a decisive battle organized by them with all their might, and it should be a little difficult. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring? ”
Wales, the priest of the fifth diocese, with a disapproving smile on the corner of his mouth, observed for a moment and beckoned his subordinates.
Whispering a few words, a new order was quickly given.
When almost a third of the demonic beasts that attacked the first outer line of defense were killed or wounded, and the magic trap in front of the trench had been flattened for most of the time, the Fallen Star Sect had a new move.
Hundreds of mages with summoning skills have been rallied to the front line.
Since the demonic beasts that are driven by it alone are not easy to use, and they are not willing to directly waste the followers of the Divine Cult on such a peripheral defense line, it is better to let those summoned creatures that don't matter how many times they die are better.
With the fluctuation of mana one after another, for a while, various summoning arrays appeared one after another.
Spirit Roaring Bear, Earth Elemental Golem, Cursed Treantman, Ice Elf, Shadow Wolf, Hellhound, Lava Spirit, Dark Owl Elder......
A variety of summoned creatures, with a total number of nearly a thousand, formed a second wave of attacks, following the driven demonic beasts into the battlefield.
Their combat power is not too strong, and their number is only a fraction of the former, but they have the advantage of having command and can be completely controlled by the Fallen Star Sect in the rear.
Under the unified command order, nearly a thousand summoned creatures formed a unique summoning legion, and along a path carved out by a large number of dead and wounded demonic beasts with flesh and blood, they gathered to attack a small section of the outer defense line of the Yanjing base with a width of less than 100 meters!
This targeted attack suddenly produced a threat far beyond the previous one, and the professionals on the first perimeter line of defense were clumsy and the pressure increased.
"That's it!"
Seeing that he had made a slight plan, Wales shook the enemy's outer defenses, and could not help but glance at his subordinates again.
The second hand that had been prepared was then activated.
Another group of Assassins and Marksmen were quietly assembled to snipe the human pros hiding behind the slopes of the ravines, either by cutting through stealth or by using their excellent attack range.
With both prongs, Wales can almost already see that this perimeter defence has been completely defeated.
This time, however, he miscalculated.
A long-range attack such as a marksman, there may not be much to do about the Chinese professional who is facing it. But for the prevention of the assassins of the Fallen Star Sect, the Yanjing base still did a good job under Fang Jin's repeated emphasis.
Even if it's just the first line of defense, it's full of surveillance guards at any cost. Each professional also has anti-concealment skills or distributes anti-concealment props. In addition, they are also surrounded by thieves from the Chinese Kingdom. It's just that he hasn't shown up before, and he's just waiting for the people of the Yin Fallen Star Sect.
The Fallen Star Sect assassins, who thought they were hunters, had already been discovered and locked the moment they approached the trench.
The rest of the story can be imagined.
Losing the suddenness of their sneak attack, and from assassins to ambushed prey, the Fallen Star Cult assassins did no better than the monsters who fell into the trap. Even if he wanted to kill the enemy at the same time, the result was that he was harvested by his Chinese counterparts who were waiting for work.
As a result, the first batch of hundreds of Assassins sent out were wiped out without receiving an order to retreat.
Their result was only to kill less than forty human professionals of the same rank.
The battle loss ratio of more than 2:1 made the Welsh in the rear look a little ugly. Although this loss was nothing to the Fallen Star Sect, it was a loss of face for him who volunteered to fight.
For a moment, he wanted to go down in person and use the power of the Golden Rank to break through this line of defense in one fell swoop.
But he immediately realized that the human race in front of him also had more than one Golden Order. Unless he implored the two archbishops to dispatch the main forces of the Golden Rank and directly put on a decisive posture on the outer defense line, it was likely that the human race would send the same Golden Rank to meet the battle.
In that case, you will not take advantage of yourself, but may be ridiculed as incompetent by other colleagues!
Never mind.
Forcibly suppressing this thought, Wales finally chose a decent method of warfare: continue to send more manpower consumption!
The line of defense in front of us is only the first periphery after all. Not only is the depth limited, but the enemy does not have enough forces to invest in it. With a little more manpower and time, plus filling in the trench with the remaining monster corpses, it will only be a matter of time before it breaks through!
And the follow-up in-depth defense line is the time for you to show your talents!
