Of course, it is unheard of, if the devil had such an ability four hundred years ago, let alone ten more years of witch empire, I am afraid that it will be wiped out by the devil within a year or two. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

After all, a scarce number of transcendents alone could not compete with an endless stream of enemies, and once a stone of divine punishment was placed in each outpost, the witch would have to sit back and wait to be killed.

Roland naturally knows how difficult it is to cut out such a divine punishment stone pillar, the characteristics of the divine stone are that the more complete and stronger, the original boulder at the bottom of the north slope mine can only leave a few white spots even if it is directly hit with a musket at close range, and the only mining method is to use the blood of magic to erode and peel off a little bit and then cut and polish, so the larger divine stones are worth a lot.

However, even the temple stone placed in the cathedral of Hermes is not so large - judging from the description of the Ice Witch, the devil seems to have cut off a piece of rough stone directly with some kind of sharp weapon, and if it is not for the other party's unbelievable processing technology, or the understanding of magic is even deeper.

Neither is good news for humanity.

"Judging from the new weapons of the devil, they have not been idle in the past four hundred years," Roland tapped on the table, "The third battle of divine will may be more difficult than expected." ”

The original fears were fulfilled, and they are now not only more cunning than the demons of the Federation era, but have also made great strides in technology. Hybrid lifeforms like Creepers are simply weapons designed to deal with ordinary battle witches, with a range of two kilometers that allows them to strike unsuspecting opponents, and by the time the witch army reacts, it is almost too late to use their abilities.

Even with an observer like Sylvie, how many teammates can a witch with a defensive cap limited to five meters protect as long as the enemy performs a covering strike?

"As much as I don't want to admit it, the devil has indeed evolved faster than us." Zoe said, "If this were a war in the era of the Federation, we would have lost everything. ”

Roland can naturally imagine that being caught between two loaves, the back road being cut off, there are high-level devils in the sky, there are mad demons on the ground that far outnumber witches, plus a new type of devil with a wide range of killing capabilities, it is estimated that only a very few witches can escape from the ambush circle alive.

Now the question is, are these five reptiles the devil's only trump card, or are they a small part of the advance army? In addition to xenomorphs like Creepers, has the Devil developed other weapons of war? What will they look like and how will they respond?

This is all information that Neverwinter needs to know at the moment.

After reporting the results of the battle, the next step was the casualties of the First Army.

Roland already knew a rough idea of this part after the battle, and the detailed statistics after four days were not too bad, and there was no doubt that it was all the work of Nanava and Lily.

More than 190 men were wounded and 75 killed, most of them caused by creepers—stone needles shot from above the trenches made it impossible for the soldiers to avoid them, and after penetrating their bodies, they sank into the dirt, almost nailing them to the trenches. In order to get the injured to the ambulance camp, the first aid team had to pull out a stone needle more than a meter long, which caused massive bleeding. Multiple critical injuries and incorrect rescue methods caused many people to stop breathing within minutes.

Roland certainly doesn't blame the ambulance crews – in fact, the first appearance of the first aid team has bought the wounded soldier a lot of time. What's more, Nanawa's magic power must not be able to heal so many injuries at the same time, so the only way to use the method of assembly operation is to heal from the fatal injuries in turn, so that the emergency treatment of minor injuries is particularly important.

In the future, as the scale of the war continues to expand, Nanawa will only be able to take care of fewer and fewer wounded, and the First Army will have to rely on its own strength to solve the problem of treatment after all.

"Bring back the ashes of the fallen soldiers," he muttered, "and the Grey Keep will not forget them." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The iron axe also replied solemnly.

"So what are your plans for the operation of the First Army after that?" "The enemy's losses have clearly exceeded their expectations, and according to Miss Lightning's observations, the patrolling dinosaurs near the ruins of Taqira are much more sparse, and she has been approaching within a hundred kilometers before encountering the devil who intercepts them." Miss Sylvie had confirmed this—aside from the tower-like iron-framed monsters, there were less than a thousand of the remaining magical radiance. In other words, their foothold on the fertile plains is currently empty. ”

Roland pondered for a long time before deciding, "When the wounded are healed, let's return to Neverwinter." ”

"You're worried that supplies won't keep up?"

"If we can't occupy the ruins, there's no point in continuing north." He took a sip of tea, "And winter is coming." ”

Although the Evil Moon does not depend on the season, for those around the wilderness, the never-ending snow and clouds that obscure the sky are the real cold winter.

At that time, the First Army not only had to face extremely harsh weather conditions, but also had to watch out for the ubiquitous evil beasts. Fighting from such a remote location, Neverwinter could not guarantee the supply of food and cold supplies, nor could it provide enough ammunition for the army to fight a multi-sided war.

Therefore, staying in the wilderness for the winter is a very risky thing.

When the snow falls, it's not so easy to retreat.

"I see," Edith replied, "the General Staff will work out an evacuation plan with the Commander-in-Chief." ”

"It's all about being safe." Roland was about to end the "remote meeting" when Agatha's voice suddenly interjected.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing you need to know."

"Oh? You said. ”

"That's right, the high-ranking devil who was defeated by the Witch of Divine Punishment is still alive"

After listening to Agatha's story, Roland couldn't help but be stunned.

"Is it okay to let Camilla connect with the devil's mind?"

It's not just consciousness, it's even perception sharing and merging in a sense. In other words, the recipient can experience what it's like to be a demon when they resonate with their hearts, and that's nothing new and interesting – the experience of the Tachira witch when she is possessed by a carrier speaks volumes: sensory information that doesn't belong to a human can confuse one's own mind, and once familiar, it can't return to a normal state, not to mention the effects of two very different minds colliding together.

This reminded him of the term mental pollution.

"It's very risky, so after much discussion with Zoe, I came up with a feasible method."
